"Everyone, Shopkeeper Fan is out!"

A butler in a long gown came out and reminded the merchants present.

Immediately, a group of merchants bowed.

The maids and maids standing around were also hurriedly coming forward to serve him, as if they were as grand as the emperor.

This shopkeeper Fan is Fan Yongdou.

Fan Yongdou, whose ancestral home is Jiexiu, Shanxi. He lived in Zhangjiakou, who lived in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties, was a representative figure of the Jin merchants in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. He represented the Eight Great Shangs of Jin (that is, the later Eight Great Imperial Shangs).

Most of them were smuggling grain, grass and iron tools and selling plundered property on behalf of the Jurchens, which failed the blockade policy of the Ming Dynasty and became a traitor of the Jin merchants in the late Ming Dynasty. After the Central Plains of the Qing Dynasty, the descendants of the Fan family were granted the Taipu Temple Minister in the second rank of clothing during the Yongzheng period.

It's a real, super traitor businessman!

The reason for the fall of the Ming Dynasty was that the Ming Dynasty was the omissions in political affairs, too lenient with scholars, too strict with common people, and peasants were unable to withstand tyranny. Li Zicheng's uprising and destroyed the Ming Dynasty. Merchants took advantage of scholars to rise, but they could not get up early without profit. They had no national meaning in their hearts, but only achieved what they could get in a matter of inch.

Fan Ties and Yong Fighters were people from the Ming Dynasty and Miao people from the Han Dynasty. However, during the national war, they did not seek to benefit the country and have a super high reputation, but they respected the Qing Dynasty's trust?

This is the case that people do not value the survival of the Han people, but only care about their own family's personal interests and forget their righteousness for small profits!

If a traitor also has a score, the full score is 100. Wu Sangui can only score 70 points at most. But Fan Yongdou and their friends, haha, they can only score 90 points at least.

For the fighter among traitors!

These Shanxi merchants sold their ancestors to the point of being outrageous. They not only resold a large amount of pig iron, grain, cloth and medicinal materials to Jiannu through the mouth, but also took the initiative to be the leader!

While selling supplies, they also helped Hou Jin build an intelligence network in the mainland, sending a large amount of mountains, rivers, terrain and military intelligence to the mainland.

Otherwise, while Li Zicheng was heading to Beijing in the 17th year of Chongzhen, how did Dorgon know the route of the crusade army and the actual situation, and how did he swore to the forthcoming army before Wu Sangui decided to surrender, and mobilized the forces of the entire clan to prepare to fight for the world with Li Zicheng?

Therefore, the eight major merchants of Shanxi were the biggest traitors in the late Ming Dynasty.

As the leader, Fan Yongdou was the biggest Chinese traitor. Even in the history of no change, Wu Sangui did not surrender to the Qing Dynasty, Fan Yongdou could still cooperate with the Qing Dynasty and compete for the Central Plains.

Of course, there is another Fan Wencheng, which is not a thing. Two ethnic scums with the surname Fan are really worse than pigs and dogs!

After everyone sat down, Fan Yongdou slowly swept over everyone with his sharp eyes and said, "I believe you all understand the purpose of this conference. The thief of the Dragon Marquis of Four Seas wanted to start collecting commercial taxes on a large scale, saying that he would only be waiting for trial in Shandong. I don't think it will be implemented in other provinces in the future. I'm summoning everyone to discuss countermeasures..."

After saying that, he sat firmly in his seat and drank tea, his eyes as if closed, and he peeked at everyone's expressions.

The merchants below whispered for a while, and Zhu Zilong wanted to slowly implement formal and large-scale commercial taxes to the Ming Dynasty. Of course, none of the people present was willing. Although they made money every day, it was difficult to get a good fortune. Taking out a tael of silver from their pockets was as uncomfortable as making them cut their flesh.

Not only that, the Zhu family army strictly investigated borders, banned private trade, and controlled the Grand Canal, which made them even more dissatisfied.

These days, smuggling has been rampant, so their income has been greatly reduced?

After the merchants exchanged glances with each other, a merchant stood up and said in a daze: "Zhu Zilong's move is to compete with the people for profit. Haven't he heard of the disaster of commercial taxes in the Wanli Dynasty? The merchants in the Ming Dynasty are already poor, so it is not easy for the shopkeepers to do some business. If the commercial tax is imposed after the trial, they will only be afraid of being greedy. By then, your family will be destroyed and your family will be destroyed. This move must not be the opposite!"

As soon as he said this, the merchants below agreed.

Seeing that everyone agreed with him, the businessman's pride became more and more proud, and said again: "Zhu Zilong is in his early twenties, young and energetic, and has no thoughts in his work, so he has made such public resentment. He heard that all the merchants in the world were full of righteous indignation for the imposition of commercial taxes. Why not, we jointly make a statement and contact various Confucian scholars. We collectively dismissed class to condemn it to show our intention to criticize him. What do you think?"

As soon as these words came out, the merchants present whispered together excitedly.

Fan Yongdou, who had been observing the movements of everyone's expressions, also smiled and stood up, bowed to everyone, and then said, "Everyone, I have a word, I don't know whether to say it or not."

The merchants hurriedly replied: "Please speak by the shopkeeper Fan, and we will definitely listen carefully."

So, Fan Yongdou smiled and said, "Zhu Sihai was in charge of Shandong, suppressing bandits and repelling thieves and farming. This is a good thing. The people praised it, and we agree with it. Unfortunately, no one was perfect. We were confused for a moment and did such things as heaven and people resentment. However, the scholars and the scholars took action, so we and other merchants should not fall behind."

"For the future peace of the Ming Dynasty, I think it is still feasible to propose a collective strike between businesses. It can be seen that we are indignant and condemning."

When I saw the biggest traitor among the border merchants, all the traitor boss spoke.

Everyone applauded, saying that the shopkeeper Fan was indeed a mature strategy, and told them that the businessmen jointly stopped the market, which was a big weapon. With the leader who stood out, he would definitely be as omnipotent as before, and Priligy would be.

As before, since the middle and late Ming Dynasty.

The industrial and commercial class has been extremely arrogant, the local economy is completely out of control by the central government, and the government is full of their interests spokespersons.

Take Donglin Party officials as an example!

Whenever the government collects taxes from merchants, as long as the merchants stop the market, the government will have no choice. (The reason is that the Later Jin invasion, the country has no money, and is afraid of civil strife to the next level.)

Especially in border towns, they rely more on these merchants.

Back then, scholars stopped classes and merchants stopped the market. After this huge momentum was created, even the emperor and Zhang Quzheng had to give in.

Now that I think about it, the little Dragon Marquis of Four Seas should be immediately scared?

For a moment, many big businessmen stood up to support this behavior.

"Okay, this is very reasonable for Manager Fan. We will choose a time to collectively strike the market. Work together to overcome difficulties and eliminate the seedlings of tax filing in advance. No one can open business during this period. After the market strike, Zhu Sihai will listen to the voices of the people. After the court order, he will definitely turn back and say that the commercial tax will be abolished."

In addition to businessmen, there were scholars present, and several other people including Xuezheng and old supervisors. Hearing that Zhu Zilong was going to be piloted in Shandong and other places, he would be levied on commercial tax, which may be implemented nationwide in the future. Of course, he was extremely angry.

The entire venue is like a place for gatherings and speeches in later generations, and a place for small sales.

When Lao Fan proposed, the villain was right.

Everyone present said everything, and they were heartbroken. If they wanted to collect commercial tax, they would seize food from their mouths, and they would agree.

Finally, everyone decided.

These scholars and scholars who are well-read books on sages and wise men and the pillars of the court (businessmen), must stop Zhu Zilong from his actions against the world.

The class was stopped and the market was stopped. All walks of life responded, and everyone was united and they were determined to put pressure on Zhu Zilong.

Finally, let him take back his fate, Yu Ran realized that he could turn back and be the shore.

Otherwise, the country will not be a country!

(Well, people who don’t know really think that they are all loyal ministers. But the result is a group of traitors, planning to destroy the country here!)

It's really a big deal!
