In the Huizhou area, the mountains and forests were undulating. In order to avoid the war, some aristocratic families entered the hills of Huizhou and took root here.

Because they are located in the mountainous area, their clan has been preserved over the years.

Unlike the disintegration of the gentry family in various parts of the south of the Yangtze River, the clan power in Huizhou is very strong. The large clans of thousands of people are still not scattered, and the family tree has lasted for more than a thousand years without any chaos.

This clan consciousness makes Hui merchants often join in groups and are more united than other merchant groups.

However, like Shaanxi merchants, during the Qing army's journey south, except for the Shanxi merchants who defected to the Qing Dynasty, several other major merchant gangs in China suffered heavy blows.

In Yangzhou City, 700,000 were slaughtered at once. Shaanxi merchants and Hui merchants suffered heavy losses.

Afterwards, Jin Sheng and Jiang Tianyi rebelled in Huizhou to resist the Qing Dynasty. The Qing army surrounded and suppressed the three sides. After the uprising failed, Jin Sheng was killed. Naturally, the Qing army would not let Huizhou and the wealthy Hui merchants go, causing heavy losses to the Hui merchants.

After the Ming Dynasty recovered Nanjing, Hui merchants began to develop again. However, because they were in the territory of Longwu and later encountered the dispute between Tang and Lu, Hui merchants' businesses went bankrupt one after another. Now it is because of the clan fundraising that barely develops.

Not far from the stock exchange, in another house, Wu Chongde looked at everyone and said with a stern face: "Everyone, although we will definitely win this battle, we can't let them lose too much and make the Regent ugly. There is nothing to say. Keeping thirty taels is our bottom line. Now, whether you are going to borrow or mortgage the store, you must raise the stock price."

At this time, outside the stock exchange yamen, a gong sounded and the door opened wide. The butlers and shopkeepers who had been guarding outside suddenly rushed in.

This stock war has shocked the entire Jiangnan business community, and merchants from all over the city of Yangzhou have also rushed to join in the fun.

For a time, the private rooms of various restaurants and restaurants in the city were all merchants from all over the world. While they were having wine, they sent their servants to check it out, and the exchange was even more crowded.

At this time, there were several Qin merchants from Guanzhong sitting in a restaurant.

Recently, the Zhou Kingdom started trade in the northwest, encouraging merchants to do business with Us Tibet, Qinghai, and the Mongols and Tibetans from the Western Regions.

The Qin Shang, who had been dormant for a long time, gradually became peaceful in Guanzhong. After the policy improved, he finally began to move.

The Hu people in the northwest have three important needs, one is tea, which cannot be missed in a day.

The other is cotton cloth, which is nomadic Mongolians who can wear animal furs in winter, but once it is summer, it will be so uncomfortable and uncomfortable that it will be. There is a great demand for Central Plains cotton cloth.

The last one is iron utensils. When the Mongolians and Tibetans want to cook and make tea, they are indispensable for iron pots.

Although maritime trade is developed now, there are only a few thousand ships that can reach the coast in a year. The demands of the Hu people in the west and north have long occupied the majority.

Especially, when the Ming Dynasty forbidden seas, maritime smuggling was difficult to grow in scale. The demand from the northwest and north accounted for a large part of the long-term. The tea trade alone was the transaction amount of tens of millions of taels per year.

This time, Shaanxi businessmen set foot in Yangzhou because Guanzhong needed a large amount of cotton and tea, so they came to Jiangnan to purchase.
