When I woke up early, I looked at the cloudless appearance. After noon, a gust of wind suddenly became cloudy and the storm was about to come. When it was time to light the lamp, God, who had been gloomy for half a day, finally couldn't help it. With a thunder, the raindrops as big as beans fell from the sky and hit the ground, causing a burst of gray mist, and a scent of earth spread everywhere in the air.

After half a day of cloudiness, everyone in Hulao Guanzhong was ready. As soon as the raindrops fell, countless colorful umbrella flowers bloomed on the streets. From top to bottom, it looked like another scenery.

The economic infiltration of the Ming Dynasty into Qin can be said to have involved all aspects, ranging from food, weapons, to all kinds of daily necessities. As long as you can use it, the Ming people will be extremely considerate to send it to you. Of course, you need to exchange it for things and buy it with money.

Like the colorful umbrella flowers blooming on the streets now, it is an example. In the past, when it rained, Hulao Pass, more hats and straw raincoats were used, which was a great deal, which was a green paper oil umbrella. However, as the business road was opened, Ming merchants rushed in, and all kinds of more exquisite, more durable, and cheaper goods poured into Hulao like a tide, and immediately defeated all kinds of workshops that Hulao had already been fragile. Generally speaking, they only had two roads, one was to go bankrupt and become an unspoken poor man, and the other was to become a vassal of Ming merchants.

There is no good choice for this. The Qin merchants in Hulao Pass immediately became loyal fans of the Ming merchants. Moreover, the Ming merchants did not kill all the Qin merchants, but adopted a way that seemed extremely friendly to the Qin merchants to accept them. They could use their workshops, previous technology, labor, and even the connections of these workshops in other parts of the Qin State as capital. Although in the eyes of the Qin merchants, their things seemed to be worthless to the Ming people, the Ming people generously gave them shares and included them in their own system.

Over the past few years, the Ming people's economic penetration capacity has involved all aspects of the Qin State through these methods, and no one is left behind. In the words of Wang Yueyao, the tycoon of the Ming Dynasty's Commerce Department, where there are Qin people, there are Ming people's products.

The Ming Dynasty Commercial Bureau gave policy guidance, and profit-seeking merchants immediately rushed into Qin like sharks smelling blood. Backed by the Ming army's bright sword, they used all their solutions to impact Qin's fragile industry and commerce without any scruples. It is no exaggeration to say that the national economy of Qin has been basically undermined by the Ming people. As long as the Ming people are willing, they can create one economic hemorrhage after another in Qin at any time.

The control of big merchants is naturally the input of bulk goods, and the remaining edges are the paradise for other small merchants in the Ming Dynasty. These small merchants who followed the footsteps of these big merchants into Qin, were far inferior to those of big merchants in terms of financial strength and official strength, but they were better than that of big merchants. Even if they picked up some small business opportunities that big merchants looked down upon, they would be enough to live extremely well.

This commercial invasion did not have the momentum of thousands of troops, but the results achieved were far better than a great victory on the battlefield. This also allowed the big men of the Ming Dynasty Zhengshi Hall to see another way of conquest. Compared with the naked war, this commercial invasion seemed silent, but also killed people invisibly.

These bigwigs believe that after the past two years of economic plundering of Qin, if the war was officially launched against the Qin people, their fragile economy would collapse immediately, their army would not be able to pay military salaries, there would not be enough food, and there would be all kinds of materials to deal with the war. Before this war was officially started, the Ming Dynasty could claim that it was the winner.

Another outstanding result of the commercial invasion was that the banknotes issued by the Ming Dynasty became a popular currency in Qin State, suppressing the minted coins made by Qin State. Now the Qin people, especially the prefectures and counties near the border of Ming State, basically no longer use Qin State's money-making. The reason is very simple. They have closer contact with the Ming people and rely more on Ming merchants. However, when trading with Ming merchants, they do not want Qin's money-making at all. All settlements must be carried out with Ming coins. First, the merchants began to use Ming coins, and then the people accepted this new currency bit by bit.

There is no way! More and more Qin people are working for Ming people. The wages they give are paper money from Ming countries. Don’t? Yes, you have been fired. In Qin countries, are you still worried that you can’t find someone to do things?

Slowly, the people of Qin discovered that these banknotes from the Ming people seemed to be very useful, and they could buy more things than Qin's money. If the goods on the street were measured by Qin's copper coins, the price seemed to fluctuate every day, but if they were measured by Ming coins, it was quite stable. The people did not understand advanced things such as finance and economy, but this did not hinder their wisdom in life. When using Ming coins worth one or two silver coins, they could buy more things than Qin's money worth one or two silver coins, they immediately abandoned their own country's makers without hesitation.

Like Hulao Pass, it is now a distribution center for goods from the Ming Dynasty to Qin. Merchants concentration camps and Ming coins have long become the common currency here. It is no longer possible to find the shadow of Qin's money making on the market.

The rain is getting heavier and heavier. Even though Hulaoguan has taken the drainage issue well during construction, water has begun to accumulate on the street, and there are no signs of weakening of the rain. There are obviously fewer pedestrians on the street. Such heavy rain will be splashed even with an umbrella.

In the heavy rain, the usually busy streets suddenly became deserted. The guys from major businesses smiled and even moved a stool at the door to enjoy the heavy rain. Usually they were not so idle, they were busy. One day, there was a rest there, even when they were having a meal, they would rush to snatch a few bites. They had to run to the cottage, otherwise the boss would scream at the top of his throat.

The bosses from the Ming Dynasty paid high wages, but when they aroused people, they also used women as men and animals.

Even though he said that, the Qin people here enjoyed it. Compared with the past, their lives were much better. Now it is not just a matter of having enough food, but a stage of thinking about how to make themselves live a more comfortable life. The merchants in Ming Dynasty are a little bit fierce, but they are so happy to start money. Once the business is good, the boss is not stingy with rewards. Sometimes after a month, the rewards are higher than their wages. If there is such a good thing, the guys who don’t expect their boss to have a better business!

Recently, business has been getting better and better, because the son of the Grandmaster is about to get married, and the wife he married is still the granddaughter of the Kaiping County Prince. Although the Kaiping County Prince was a mess, the lean camel is bigger than a horse, and where is the prestige of others? In the past few days, more and more people have come to Hulao Pass. Basically, the Qin Counties came to congratulate each other. The inns in the city have long lived in the city, and those who later have to find ways to move in the city. Renting a house is one of the choices. Many people who are in Hulao Pass made a fortune this time. Many people and even the whole family would rather squeeze into the woodshed to vacate their houses and rent them out. In just ten days of renting, it is worth a year's wage. Such a good thing, but after passing this village, there is no such store.

The large amount of traffic brings naturally the prosperity of the market. These days, especially restaurants, restaurants, and even some roadside stalls, they make a lot of laughter, and of course, they are also tired and cramped.

Today's heavy rain was a stolen half a day of free time, and I just took a break. As the wedding day approached, I thought I would have to work for several days. After this incident, the bosses would have to pay some rewards to reward everyone for their hard work during this period.

Unfortunately, the handsome man has only one son. If he had a few more, he would have been sent this time every year, wouldn’t he be sent?

Many people do think so in their hearts.

But He Weiping didn't think so. He was galloping at this moment and ran directly into the city from outside the East City Gate. The huge sound of horse hooves stepped on the accumulated water that was beyond his ankles, splashing water, pouring the row of soldiers guarding the city gate a cool heart from head to toe, but no one dared to sensation.

Because He Weiping is the deputy general of Hulao Pass, theoretically speaking, his identity is second only to Xiao Qiang, and he is a role below one person and above ten thousand people in Hulao Pass.

Of course, this can only be said in theory.

He Weiping is not so comfortable in Hulao Pass. The second brother has always been the hardest to be a member of the family, because the boss is always guarding against you to seize power. The third brother and fourth brother are staring at him again, waiting for him to make a mistake so that he can pull him off and replace him by himself.

In short, this position is a character who is roasted on fire.

Of course, He Weiping is not a soft-legged shrimp that can be controlled by others. He naturally has some tricks to sit in the second place under Xiao Qiang's tyranny. First, he has made great achievements in military achievements. On the battlefield of alignment, he has made many military achievements and is famous. Secondly, he also has his own circle and power. At Hulao Pass, who has stronger strength, his voice will naturally be louder.

In the past, his strength was second only to Xiao Qiang, and his tone of speaking was naturally higher, but in the past two years, the problem has emerged. After Xiao Qiang got along with the Ming people, his strength increased sharply, and Hulao Pass expanded its army to 100,000, of which 80% were controlled by Xiao Qiang's confidant. As a deputy general, he was not so respectful to He Weiping except for his 10,000 troops who were as capable as his own troops.
