In the huge Yanjing city, there are hundreds of thousands of people, officials, businessmen, military and civilians, and there are not too many people like this. But many of them are not worth Zhao Liang's efforts. The scale is too small and the grain storage is too small.

So, after all, there are only a few companies that can be targeted by Zhao Liang, and these companies are exactly the people who were seen by Zhao Liang before.

Think about it, this is also true.

Strong capital and deep background support are complementary. Look at the current Zhao family, if there is no strong capital, how could Zhao Liang use money to open the official positions? And if there is no official care, how could the Zhao family's business be so smooth?

Grain merchants raise grain prices to make huge profits and make money against their conscience, which is precisely because they have a strong backer behind them, right?

Otherwise, I would have been swallowed by the officials. I could still use this head to calm the public anger!

The Zhu family in the capital was the largest grain merchant in Sijiu City. It started from the time of Zhu Ming. The war in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties did not cause the decline of the Zhu family. Like the Kang family in Gongyi, it was smoothly wealthy to the Qing Dynasty. As of today, the Zhu family was richer than the princes, with luxurious and magnificent mansions, with more than 1,000 houses of all sizes and sizes. Someone had been there for ten days, but he did not walk around the Zhu family's house.

The Cha family in Wanping and Sheng family are also very luxurious, and are as rich as the Zhu family. Moreover, these two families like to interact with the officialdom, so they are not as low-key as the Zhu family and are repeatedly impeached by censors. It is just because their backers are strong enough and they always stand firm. Together with the Kang family in Pingyang, Hedong, they are the three main forces that dominate the fluctuations in the capital's grain prices.

Of course, the Zhu family may not be innocent. Just like Huairou's famous "Hao Shanren", none of these two families made less money in this feast, and no one could really be as innocent as shallot tofu.

The Hao family in Huairou was a wealthy family for a hundred years, with a land of up to ten thousand acres. Because families of all dynasties liked to decorate their stores and often gave alms to the poor people, the people called it "Hao Shanren". When Qianlong was in the autumn, they visited the Hao family. The Hao family prepared extremely rich dishes for Qianlong, with hundreds of dishes made of precious ingredients. Moreover, the Hao family also prepared meals for princes and ministers, close servants, and military soldiers who accompanied Emperor Qianlong, and the cost of a day was as high as 100,000 taels of silver.

The Kang family in Pingyang in Hedong was the richest family among the Shanxi merchants. The Kang family started as a salt merchant (Hedong Yanchi), then dabbled in silver houses, grain shops, pawn shops, goods shops, etc., and then land mergers...

It is in Pingyang's old nest, with a large number of granaries of thousands of stones of rice and grain hidden. Some people in the local area say: There is an old heaven above and a million below. It doesn't rain for three years, and there is a hundred thousand stones of grain.

Moreover, because of the Eight Great Imperial Shangs, the Jin Shangs in Hedong have been an important part of the grain market in the capital since the early Qing Dynasty.

More than a hundred years have passed, and there are many ups and downs within the Shanxi merchants, but what remains unchanged is the weight of the Shanxi merchants in the grain market in the capital.

These major families are also the mastermind behind the grain prices in the capital.

Zhao Liang thought for a long time before he decided to attack Pingyang Kang's family.

He didn't think he could have the luck to pick these big families one by one. No one was a fool. With an example in front of him, who wouldn't be more prepared?

I don’t look at the quality, quantity and salary of Beijing Guardians in the past year have been much higher than in previous years.

This is the change that Zhao Liang had after he set up the coal shop Zhao family, Lufang Sun family and other families that day.

No one wants to be the second Mr. Zhao whose neck was twisted.

The same is true for the five families of Zhu, Cha, Sheng, Hao and Kang. One of them was in trouble, and the other four families would definitely wake up. It would be difficult for Zhao Liang to do it again.

Moreover, among the five major families, only the Kang family is not a native of Yanjing. If he suffers from disaster, would it be better for the Kang surname to think about it?

Of course, the most important reason is that the Kang family has the cuteness of the Eight Great Imperial Shangs? Then he deserves his family’s misfortune!

The head office of the Kang family’s grain store in Beijing is located in Dazhalan outside Zhengyangmen. Is Zhengyangmen the Daqianmen? This place can be said to be the most prosperous and lively place in Yanjing City. It is better than the main commercial areas inside and outside the capital such as Anmen Street, outside the East and West Anmen Square, the East and West Four Archways, the East and West Single Archways, and the Vegetable Market and Flower Market.

Before and after the construction of the outer city during the Jiajing period of Zhu Ming, the streets around Zhengyangmen and on both sides gradually formed a certain scale of commercial areas, gathering many shops. In the Qing Dynasty, with the overall migration of Han people in the inner city to the outer city, Zhengyangmen became the largest commodity circulation market in the country, and the gathering of shops was also the first in the country.

The location of Kangshi Grain Store is Grain Store Street. It is located on the west side of Qianmen Street, starting from the east entrance of Dashalan Street in the north and ending at Zhushikou West Street in the south. It is about one mile long. At this time, it is also called "grain sandwich road", and it is named after the grain market dominated by Kangshi in the street.

Although this place is not big or long, there are many good things that are famous and have surnames. For example, Liu Biju, which was famous in later generations; there is also the membership escort agency where Dadao Wang Wu is located - opened in the late Kangxi period, and it is the largest and longest-lasting escort agency in the capital; and then the birthplace of the first bottle of Erguotou in China is also located in the Grain Store Street.

Zhao Liang also has a batch of Erguotou bought from there in his space.

He doesn't drink this wine much, but whether it is Yimeng Mountain or southwest Henan, people drink it.

Zhao Liang walked around the Grain Store Street, then found a small restaurant to have a meal, and only saw Feilu when the sun was westward.

"How is it? Have people already left the city?"

"Don't worry, uncle, I'll watch myself leaving Yongding Gate with the Lord."

Yongding Gate is the south main gate of the outer city of the capital, and Zhengyang Gate is the south main gate of the inner city of the capital. There is a great avenue in the middle, which is the central axis of the capital. After passing Zhengyang Gate and going to the inner city, it is the Tiananmen Square in later generations. The central axis next to Zhengyang Gate is Qianmen Street. The Dashilan Commercial District is on the west side of Qianmen Street. The famous Eight Great Hutongs are also in Dashilan, less than a mile from the small restaurant where Zhao Liang is located, just go west!

"It's OK to leave." Zhao Liang said with a smile. Heshen went to Nanhaizi because the time to scrape cashmere has come. This matter is very important to Heshen. If he does it well, it will be another explosive point in the court. He wants to go to Nanhaizi to watch. Then Zhao Liang can move freely as well?

Who knows how many days it will take for this pair of Kangjia Grain Store to start?

If something is wrong and the person is trapped inside, it is safe for Zhao Liang to hide in the space, but Heshen came to him outside. Wouldn't it be troublesome if he can't see anyone?

"Then tell others, I'll go to Baoding!"
