At this time, Zhen An comforted everyone and said: "Don't worry, everyone. Now that Lei Gong Qushuai's army has defeated Huangfu Song, it has reached Changping County. This war will be over soon, and Lei Gong Qushuai will definitely do the same."
Will win!"
Zhen An doesn't even know what's going on in this world. He used to be good friends with Lei Gong, but he is a Han after all, and deep down he still hopes that the Han will completely put down the rebellion in the country.
But this time the order of punishment made Zhen An fully understand that although he considered himself to be a Han man, the Han officials did not think so, but regarded them as fat pigs and slaughtered those who were short of money.
Now he is thankful that most of his family property has already opened textile factories. This time, Zhen An only lost some goods from some shops and caravans in Dahan.
But unfortunately, because of the loss of the caravan, and because no one dares to do business in Dahan, this is equivalent to Zhen An losing the entire Dahan market. This is not only for him, but also for the merchants who come again.
It was very fatal. It can be said that all the business routes of these merchants were cut off by the Han!
Wei Chang said angrily: "I came to Bingzhou this time just to ask Lei Gong Qushuai to help me take revenge. As long as Lei Gong Qushuai can help me take revenge, I can donate all my family property!"
The guard often looked at Zhen An and said: "I heard that senior is familiar with Lei Gong Qushuai. Can you please introduce me to me? I will be rewarded generously!"
Wei Chang also opened a small textile factory here in Bingzhou. It has been developing well in these years, because there are more and more Tengjia military personnel, and because of the explosion of textile and other industries, the wealth of the entire Bingzhou is growing rapidly, and the
The distribution is relatively equal, and the tens of millions of Tengjia Army members have higher spending power than the entire Han Dynasty. It can be said that Bingzhou itself is a huge cloth consumption market.
As long as you have the capital to open a textile factory, you can basically get your capital back in 3-4 years. When Wei Chang saw that the textile industry in Mayi was making money, he took all his savings over the years to open a textile factory in Mayi.
It was a great blessing among misfortunes. All his property in Dahan had been confiscated, but he still had a considerable amount of wealth in Bingzhou.
But Zhen An didn't want to introduce him to Lei Gong. He and Wei Chang were not familiar with each other. Who knew whether what he said was true or not? Lei Gong was the commander of the Tengjia Army. If Wei Chang was an assassin, he would not be seeking death by introducing Wei Chang.
, not to mention that he has been able to make his business so big in recent years, thanks to Lei Gongqushuai. With this alone, he does not want to introduce his business to other businessmen!
Zhen An immediately said: "Now that Lei Gong Qushuai is fighting in Youzhou, there is no time to meet with little people like us! Moreover, merchants like me have only met Lei Gong Qushuai a few times, so what qualifications do they have to recommend people to Lei Gong Qushuai!
"
Although Wei Chang is miserable, Zhen An does not want to cause trouble for himself, and now Wei Chang seems to be a huge source of trouble for Zhen An!
Wei Chang heard Zhen An's refusal and expressed his understanding, so he did not continue to disturb Zhen An, but planned to think of other ways!
However, this time Gao Min ordered the entire Bingzhou businessmen to wake up. They did not want to be slaughtered as fat pigs like other colleagues of the Han Dynasty. The best way was to help the Tengjia Army defeat the Han Dynasty, otherwise they, the merchants, would lose their last piece of land.
A paradise.
Zhen An said to everyone at this time: "If this war is not over, it will be a disaster for us merchants, and if the Han Dynasty wins, it will be a disaster within a disaster for us. I think Lei Gong Qushuai must be short of money and food now, so why not
We donated a sum of money and food to Lei Gong Qushuai, and also let Qushuai see our contribution to the Tengjia Army, so that we and the Tengjia Army can be regarded as our own people, and Lei Gong Qushuai has always taken care of his own people the most.
!”
The others thought for a while, and it seemed that this was the only way. Donating some money and food could strengthen the Tengjia Army and allow them to defeat the Han army. At the same time, they also hoped that Lei Gong would not do more for the sake of the money and food they had already donated.
Let their family be ruined! Don't do such evil things in Bingzhou!
And this is why Zhen An summoned them, to find a big thigh for everyone to hug!
But Wei Chang was unwilling to give in. He looked at everyone and said, "Are you just going to watch Dong Zhuo massacre our generation and remain indifferent!"
The other businessmen looked at Wei Chang strangely, wondering if he was crazy. Dong Zhuo was the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty. Although they were rich, their status in the Han Dynasty was not high. There was a huge difference in status between the two sides. Could it be that Wei Chang
Are you really planning to take revenge on the Prime Minister of a country?
Many people looked at Wei Chang with mocking eyes!
Others advised: "A mantis arm cannot be used as a carriage. Compared with Dong Zhuo's butcher, we are just a mantis. Even if all our strength is added together, it cannot be as powerful as Dong Zhuo's carriage. Brother Wei, please look away, big man
If other places don’t welcome us, we can still take root in Bingzhou. Lei Gong Qushuai not only does not discriminate against us, but also helps us build a family business. Doing business in Bingzhou is better than working as a cow and a horse in the family, and we have earned our hard-earned money.
The money is squandered by those masters!"
Zhang Fu looked at everyone unconvinced and shouted: "What's wrong with the Prime Minister! He bullies people like this. A man must have revenge and complain! Brother Wei and Dong Zhuo have a deep hatred as deep as the sea. Only by killing Dong Zhuo can you be a man."
Things that should be done!”
Then he looked at everyone with disdain and said: "How will Dong Zhuo deal with us and other businessmen today? If we don't come back with revenge, will anyone in the world look up to us?"
Everyone looked at Zhang Fu with strange expressions. He was a countryman from there. How could they, businessmen, still have a good reputation among the Han people? Who in the world could think highly of them? Did he have some misunderstanding about the status of businessmen?
Even though they are rich, according to the law, they are the lowest among the four peoples, and their status is higher than that of servants!
Of course, in actual situations there will definitely be some conflicts with the law. The actual situation is that they are a little higher than the two mud-legged classes of workers and peasants. After all, they have money, but they businessmen are at most the white gloves of the powerful clans, and their usual status is higher than that of the workers and peasants.
Workers and peasants are two poor classes, but at the critical moment they are treated like pigs and killed!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Just like Dong Zhuo massacred them this time, there was basically no one in the court to help them speak out. On the political map of the Han Dynasty, their status was approximately zero.
Zhang Fu continued: "Let's see why Dong Zhuo didn't dare to bully the nobles. When he became the prime minister, he kept licking the nobles, but the Yuan family didn't care about him at all. They directly rebelled against Dong Zhuo and later defeated Yuan Shao.
, the two brothers Yuan Shu don’t dare to do anything to them! It’s not because they have the power and soldiers in their hands, they have the final say in the Han Dynasty!”
"Why didn't Dong Zhuo conquer the Han people this time? Could it be that they were kind-hearted? If they were so kind-hearted, they wouldn't have forced them to rebel against the Yellow Turban Army. The people in the Central Plains had not rebelled in these years, and they were not suppressed by the imperial court.
Forced."
"But why don't they dare to force the common people to rebel this time? It's not because the noble families in the Central Plains massacred hundreds of noble families half a year ago, and they are afraid of becoming officials. The Yellow Turban Army's killings let them know that the common people are not good either.
Bullies, now they don’t dare to bully the people even to death!”
"The reason why we businessmen are being massacred by Dong Zhuo now is not because Dong Zhuo thinks we are easy to bully. Even if he kills our whole family, we can't take revenge on him!"
"If we don't want to be killed by Dong Zhuo, we must retaliate against him severely and let the dog officials like Dong Zhuo know that I am not that easy to bully merchants. Otherwise, if we don't retaliate against the dog officials like Dong Zhuo, they will be short of money next time.
We will still slaughter the fat pigs among us!"
Everyone looked at Zhang Fu in surprise. Many people did not know him, but his tone was as loud as the sky. Dong Zhuo was the prime minister of the Han Dynasty, one person was inferior to ten thousand people. Can they take revenge? His tone was so loud,
Who does he think he is?
Only Zhen An, old friends of the Tengjia Army, know who Zhang Fu is. He is one of the top 10 textile giants in the private sector of the Tengjia Army!
Zhang Fu was originally a member of the Tengjia Army. After seeing how profitable the textile industry was, he contacted his relatives and friends to jointly build a small textile factory, a workshop-style textile factory with only a few textile machines!
But what everyone didn't expect was that his move was appreciated by Lei Gong of the Tengjia Army. Lei Gong not only helped him lead the money shop and helped him get loans to purchase textile machines and other machinery, but also helped him contact many textile machines.
The talents in the industry allowed his textile factory to develop rapidly.
Xu Wei's idea at that time was very simple. Since there were no restrictions on outside merchants like Zhen An from opening factories, he couldn't allow local members of the Tengjia Army to open factories. After all, they were still his own people compared to Zhen An.
, there is no reason why our own people should support foreign businessmen instead of supporting them!
Moreover, Xu Wei's idea at the time was that with the Tengjia Army's own merchant group, it would be easier to control the merchants in the entire Bingzhou. After all, merchants were considered his allies at this stage, and Xu Wei needed to join forces to transform this feudal society.
.
At the same time, he also has the idea of using the merchants of the Tengjia Army to transform the merchant class. At least it cannot be brutally exploited like the first technological revolution, treating people as consumables, even children. If this kind of thing happened in
The people of the Han Dynasty will definitely rise up and rebel instead of working as cattle and horses for the capitalists!
And merchants will definitely be plunged into a situation of eternal destruction by other people of the Han Dynasty. This is also the reason why the capital of the Chinese Dynasty sprouted twice but did not bear fruit. The size of the Chinese Dynasty was too large, and the business model of the first scientific and technological revolution was difficult to achieve.
Not only will it find enough markets, it will also force tens of millions of people in the country to rebel, making it impossible for this sprout to have a stable environment to grow.
So Zhang Fu became an experimental subject of Xu Wei. He introduced the Huawei model to Zhang Fu and asked him to unite ordinary people in the Tengjia Army and let them use people to produce textile machines. Together, they formed a larger
A large-scale textile factory improves labor efficiency and productivity, and the money earned is secretly shared in proportion to dividends.
Under this model, the shares that Zhang Fu can control are only a little more than 1%. It can be said to be a collective model. It is by relying on this expansion method that Zhang Fu, who was originally a family-run workshop, has become soaring.
Soaring to the sky, Zhang Fu's factory has now become a textile industry with more than 3,000 people, and has even entered the top 10 textile industries in Tengjia military and private camps!
And this collective model also began to expand throughout the territory of the Tengjia Army. Many tribesmen who had no money, in this way, gathered firewood and opened collective factories one after another! These factories became the economic core of the Tengjia Army.
An important part of!
The merchants of the Han Dynasty have been taught the three concepts of low status of businessmen since they were young, and they have recognized the low status of businessmen when they grow up. Of course they dare not resist when encountering things like Dong Zhuo, because they know that resistance can only bring about consequences.
Greater massacre!
But Zhang Fu is different. He is a businessman who was born and raised in Tengjia Army. There is no status gap in the territory of Tengjia Army, and there is no such thing as the saying that everyone is inferior in everything but good at reading. In Tengjia Army,
The highest status in the Tengjia Army is the workers. Not only does the status of the master-level craftsmen be comparable to that of the top leaders of the Tengjia Army, but the wealth in their hands far exceeds that of other classes in the Tengjia Army.
Take Cai Qiao, who improved the textile machine as an example. Because she improved the textile machine and tripled its efficiency, she became a master craftsman of the Tengjia Army and received a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.
There are also patent fees. For every new textile machine in Bingzhou, 5% of the profit is her patent fee. This amount of money alone allows Cai Qiao to make every profit without doing anything.
She has an income of millions of dollars every month and tens of millions of dollars a year. This makes Cai Qiao the richest woman in the Tengjia Army. Even in terms of wealth, Cai Qiao can be ranked among the richest women in the Tengjia Army.
Top 20 in Army A!
This money is something that no one in Bingzhou does not envy, even big businessmen like Zhen An. Although they make more money than Cai Qiao, they earn it through hard work and have to take care of everything. Even sometimes
She will still lose money, but Cai Qiao's patent guarantees a harvest despite droughts and floods. As long as someone uses the new textile machine, she will be given a penny. How can this not be enviable!
It can be said that the entire Tengjia Army is envious and jealous of Cai Qiao. Many people are even dissatisfied with Cai Qiao's high income. Although her contribution is large, it should not be as high as 10 million yuan a year. This is
A medium-sized county in Han Dynasty only had this kind of income.
However, Xu Wei refused to accept their suggestions and directly regarded Cai Qiao as a typical example. He continued to promote Cai Qiao's deeds within the Tengjia Army. Through Cai Qiao's deeds, he told everyone that making technological inventions can make money, and even
You can become the richest man, so that more and more people will enter the craftsman industry, ensure the dominant position of workers, and ensure that the most prioritized talents can enter the factory as workers.
Xu Wei comes from modern times and has experienced all kinds of things that come to mind. He knows that any high status or honor is empty. The more he talks about it, the less he lacks.
Why in Xu Weilai's era, everyone wanted to be a star? Because they could earn hundreds of millions a year, even more than most listed companies. Even a 3-4-level starlet could earn more than scientists and engineers.
There are many, so don’t blame college students for not being scientists but doing side jobs.
Now Xu Wei also has the same idea, that is, to be a scientist in the place of Tengjia Army, and it is most profitable to be an engineer, so that the best talents in the Han Dynasty will engage in scientific research and inventions!
Therefore, Zhang Fu and others are less cautious than the businessmen of Han Dynasty. They believe that their current life is created through their own labor and wisdom. They want to become the next Cai Qiao more and more.
He is so heroic that he dares to do anything without even a fraction of it, he is not afraid of anything, he dares to make the sun and the moon look new with his pride!
But there were more people present who did not know Zhang Fu. They mocked: "We people have nothing but money. Dong Zhuo has hundreds of thousands of troops around him. He can crush us to death with just one finger. How can we retaliate?"
them?
Zhang Fu said unconvinced: "There are always more ways than difficulties. If we really want to take revenge on Dong Zhuo, let the world see the power of our businessmen, and we will always find a way!"
"The simplest way is to provide goods to help Qushuai defeat Huangfu Song and wipe out the Han's 200,000-strong army. This can only let Dong Zhuo know that we have contributed to this. Dong Zhuo will definitely regret that he was attacked by me in the first place.
.”
In addition, the money in our hands is also the best weapon. The merchants of the Han Dynasty have been wiped out by Dong Zhuo. Who dares to do business with them? It can be said that the goods in the entire Han Dynasty have been difficult to flow. If we use the money in our hands
Continuing to buy the goods of the Han Dynasty will push up the prices of the Han Dynasty, depriving Huangfu Song and his army of food, grass, weapons, armor and various equipment, weakening the combat effectiveness of the Han army, and causing the Han army to lose the battle due to lack of logistical supplies. This is not
The same is our method of revenge!"
Everyone else thought for a while. Through Zhang Fu's words, they found that the money in their hands could really affect the outcome of this war. After the big businessmen present discussed with Zhen An for a while, they finally decided to let Zhen An
On their behalf, they met with Zhang Baiqi and proposed this idea to unite with the Tengjia Army to destroy the Han army’s logistics!
At the same time, Zhang Baiqi and Wang Ge in Taiyuan County were extremely busy. They were now the top military and political leaders of the entire Tengjia Army. The Han Dynasty dispatched 400,000 troops, and the Tengjia Army also had more than 300,000 troops fighting in major battles.
The logistical supplies needed were huge. Another advantage of the Tengjia Army was that they needed a large number of granaries in each county, so Zhang Baiqi did not need to handle grain transportation. The local granaries alone were enough to cope with the war.
But when winter comes, all armies must prepare a large amount of warm materials. If it weren't for Mayi, it would be the largest textile machine center in the entire Han Dynasty. Woolen cloth and woolen sweaters are the best winter clothes. I'm afraid Zhang Bai Qiguang would have to
Looking for winter clothes is almost exhausting!
At this time, Wang Ge was holding a letter and was very embarrassed for a while. He went to Zhang Baiqi and said: "Wang Lei wants to lead an army of 50,000 to attack Beidi County!"
Han Sui kept harassing Shuofang County. Wang Lei became impatient and wanted to conquer Beidi County and spread the war to Xiliang!
Zhang Baiqi heard this and said angrily: "This is absolutely not possible. Shuofang County is the weak area of our Tengjia Army! If something happens to him, we will not be able to rescue him in time, and even if we conquer Xiliang, it will not affect the current war situation."
It didn't change much, but it lengthened our front line and consumed our few logistical supplies! Now we are maintaining hundreds of thousands of troops in the war. It is already difficult for us to maintain the Youzhou battlefield alone. He still wants to
It's a waste of our supplies! I'm here to give him an order, severely condemn his behavior, and let him stay in Shuofang County peacefully!"
After handling the affairs of Shuofang County, Zhang Baiqi said: "The weather is cold now. Huangfu Song used ice as a wall to hinder Qu Shuai's army from attacking. I am afraid that this year's offensive will be difficult to continue. We can only wait for the weather to get warmer before continuing.
Attack, can other directions support Qu Shuai's main battlefield?"
The stalemate in the war was not only difficult for the big man, but also for the Tengjia army. Although there were more Tengjia troops, they made more money and spent more, and their savings were not too much. They also did not expect that hundreds of thousands of troops would attack each other.
Due to the consumption of logistical supplies, it is now somewhat difficult for the Tengjia Army to maintain the front line. That’s why Zhang Baiqi wanted to end the war as soon as possible!
Wang Ge said: "Banshi City has been conquered by Huang Long in a major attack. I will order Huang Long to continue attacking Lingqiu, and then attack Zhuojun all the way, cutting off Huangfusong's retreat, and completely surrounding Huangfusong in Guangyang County."
, as long as the main force of Huangfu Song is annihilated, the Han Dynasty will not be able to resist our attack!"
Zhang Baiqi asked: "Wang Yong and the others haven't conquered Yuyang City yet. They have 50,000 elites in their hands. It can be said that most of the elites of our Tengjia Army are in their hands. How come they haven't conquered even one Yuyang City yet?"
!”
They had high hopes for Wang Yong at the beginning, so they equipped his army with half of the iron armor of the Tengjia Army. But unfortunately, they did not expect that Huangfu Song's support would be so fast. They had not yet conquered Yuyang County, and Huangfu Song's
Fifty thousand troops have already arrived to support us.
And now, even though Huangfu Song fought fiercely in Changping, he did not mobilize Yuyang's defenders. Huangfu Song even mobilized many local troops from Youzhou to support Yuyang. Now there are 60,000 troops in the entire Yuyang city.
, and the ice wall created by Yuyang City can now be regarded as a natural hazard.
Wang Ge could only smile bitterly and said: "It is too difficult to attack the city in this weather. Yuyang has now become an ice city, and now it is difficult for everyone to wear armor. If we attack by force, we will definitely suffer heavy losses. Even if we attack again now
It’s difficult, we can only wait for winter to pass before launching military operations!”
The weather is too cold. The soldiers of the Tengjia Army can no longer even wear iron armor, and their defense power has also weakened. If they want to attack Yuyang when the time and place are not favorable, I am afraid that Wang Yong and his 50,000-strong army will attack them all.
Even light may not be able to conquer Yuyang City!
Zhang Baiqi thought for a while and said: "We can only rely on black powder. Let the gunpowder workshop increase the production of black powder!"
Black gunpowder has always been a top secret of the Tengjia Army. In order to keep it secret, Xu Wei only taught 10 people how to make black powder. These 10 people were treated as master craftsmen in the Tengjia Army and received a monthly salary of 100,000 yuan.
This good treatment ensures that they can make gunpowder with peace of mind.
At the same time, Xu Wei also arranged for thousands of people to be stationed around the gunpowder workshop, and arranged for people to closely monitor these craftsmen. Such strict monitoring prevented the black powder from being spread. Of course, this also made it difficult for Xu Wei to increase his output. It took several years to
More than 10,000 kilograms of black powder were produced.
Of course, accidents are inevitable. One time, Xu Wei didn't know whether he accidentally ignited an open flame or because of static electricity. The gunpowder workshop exploded, killing five craftsmen on the spot. Even because of this incident, Teng Jia
No one in the army dared to let Xu Wei get close to the gunpowder workshop anymore, so the output of the gunpowder workshop was very low.
But now that Huangfu Song has very primitive black powder, Zhang Baiqi and the others feel that there is no need to keep it secret. Instead, they should take advantage of their black powder to use it in large quantities to achieve greater results, so now Tengjia
The army already has a black powder factory with dozens of people to manufacture various black powders!
