Jinyang Xie family.
It is no exaggeration to call it the oldest family of the Longyan Dynasty.
Because the entire Longyan Dynasty began to prosper from Jinyang.
The Xie family of Jinyang overthrew the Cao Wei regime during the Three Kingdoms period, and then began to unify the country. Jinyang became the birthplace of Xie's imperial power.
In the following thousands of years, no matter how the imperial power changed, no matter which prince was destroyed, which branch was shattered.
The Xie family of Jinyang has steadily controlled the direction of the wind and continued the glory of their family.
The land of Jinju has been the birthplace of mankind since ancient times. Several large-scale population migrations all started from Jinzhou.
The large locust tree in Jinzhou determines this place's position in the history of human development in Longyan.
So as soon as you enter Jinzhou, the rich traditional cultural atmosphere here is obvious. The inheritance of Zhou rites and Han rites here is quite complete. Xihoudu Culture and Dingcun Culture show that humans have been living here as early as the Paleolithic Age.
During the Zhou Dynasty, Jinzhou was the territory of the Tang State. Later, Tang Shuyu's son Xiefu changed the country's name to Jin because the Tang Dynasty was near the Jin River.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, Jinzhou was one of the Five Hegemons. During the Warring States Period, the three kingdoms of Han, Zhao, and Wei that divided the Jin Kingdom were called the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period together with Qin, Chu, Qi, and Yan. After Qin Shihuang unified China, he established five counties in Jinzhou, including Jinyang, Shangdang, Hedong, Yanmen and Daijun. By the Sui Dynasty, Jinyang was the third largest city in the Yellow River Basin after Chang'an and Luoyang. At the end of the Sui Dynasty, Li Yuan and his son raised troops in Jinyang. After establishing the capital Chang'an, they respected Jinyang as the "Northern Capital", which means "other capital".
During the Five Dynasties, the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han and Northern Han Dynasties all started their businesses based in Jinyang. During the Chinese feudal society, Jinzhou played an important role, and due to its special geographical location, the more troubled the times, the more important it became. Whoever owned Jinzhou could dominate the world. Therefore, Gu Zuyu of the Qing Dynasty pointed out in "Minutes of Reading History Fangyu": The situation in the world must be determined by Jinzhou.
In this life, the same is true.
The founding emperor of Long Yan raised troops from Jinyang, then captured Chang'an and established the Long Yan Dynasty.
In history, Jinzhou has emigrated more than ten times.
"Ask me where my ancestors are, the big locust tree in Hongdong, Jinju!"
This place has always been called the "Longxing Land"!
In Liu Zheng's previous life, there was a saying that looked at Shenzhen for ten years, Shanghai for a hundred years, Beijing for a thousand years, Shaanxi for three thousand years, and Jinzhou for five thousand years!
even.
In the fourteenth century and even longer, the richest region in China was not the regions and provinces that anyone imagined, but the unknown Jinzhou! Until the end of the 18th century, Jinzhou remained China's financial and trade center. Big cities such as Beijing, Shanghai and Guangzhou are just docks for Jinzhou's wealthy people to try their skills.
The reason is that Shanxi merchants are very famous!
so.
As soon as he entered Jinzhou, Liu Zheng felt how ridiculous his idea of "smashing" them with money was.
People here are not short of money at all!
Along the way, each city has its own distinct characteristics. The buildings are tall and spacious. Even if they are not luxurious, they are still simple and elegant.
Those who didn’t know it thought they were coming to the capital.
Yes.
This is the case throughout Jinzhou.
What about Jinyang?
Liu Zheng had a headache.
Can you win Jinzhou like this?
But if you can’t take it, you have to find a way to get it!
coal.
It will be the most important resource in the next few hundred years!
"King Yong, are you sure that Jinzhou is poor?"
Outside the majestic city wall of Jinyang, several people looked at King Yong at the same time.
King Yong is so embarrassed, let’s make a haha: “This damn King Jin, he cries to me about poverty every day, he cries about poverty to me every day, who knows he…”
Several people smiled bitterly at the same time.
It seems that either this Jin Wang is in "Versailles" or this person is really born to be a stingy person.
The paperwork has been handed in.
Just wait for King Jin to come out to greet everyone.
"Who are these people?"
"I don't know, it looks strange..."
"I heard he's from Liangzhou!"
"Huh? From Liangzhou? Could it be Liu Shilang?"
People along the road looked sideways, discussing and speculating.
What is surprising is that the title "Liu Shilang", who is famous for Longyan, is not very easy to use in Jinzhou. Those who guessed it only glanced here a few more times and hurried on their way.
"Hahahaha, this is the first time I've seen Minister Liu so deflated!"
King Yong was very happy to see it.
Liu Zheng smiled bitterly and shook his head.
This was good. He was really not used to being yelled at everywhere he went.
It seems.
This Shanxi merchant is still very pragmatic.
Suddenly, Liu Zheng understood a little bit why the Xie family in Jinyang could maintain it for so many years. Quite simply, the Xie family of this branch built Jinzhou, the "land of dragon prosperity" and a political fortress, into a commercial society. This is a very smart approach. On the one hand, it gave the imperial court in the capital a reassurance. You see, we don’t want to develop military affairs here, we don’t station troops, we don’t fight wars, we only develop commerce. How about that?
The court will naturally feel relieved.
On the other hand, Shanxi merchants, whose commerce was extremely developed, also became a source of fiscal revenue for the imperial court.
On the other hand.
It is a deeper consideration. The main direction and scope of Shanxi merchants' business was Mobei.
Shanxi merchants who took the west entrance could easily spread Longyan culture to other countries, which was naturally of great help to satisfy the vanity of the Longyan court.
Over time, Jinzhou emerged with a completely different social system from other states.
Shanxi merchants have a very high status in Jinzhou.
Most of the wealthy men had temporary posts in the Jin Palace.
This is a method of King Jin.
It can be said that Jinju, at this time, has begun to emerge, the germination of capitalism.
How good are Shanxi merchants?
There is almost no need to elaborate on the Qiao Family Courtyard in Jinzhou.
The Changjia Courtyard in Yuci and Yuci Old Town have a developed area of 120,000 square meters, and there are countless areas to be further developed and utilized. The entire compound is firstly regulated, and secondly spacious.
The Lingshi Wang Family Courtyard is 1.5 hectares larger than the Forbidden City in Beijing!
These courtyards prove the brilliance of Shanxi merchant culture.
The outstanding thing about Shanxi merchants is that they have a very profound cultural heritage.
How rich were Shanxi merchants in history? Baotou was originally a military station when Emperor Kangxi pacified Galdan. As Shanxi merchants handled grain, grass and baggage for the Qing army in Baotou, the Baotou market gradually formed. In Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province, a Shanxi merchant surnamed Cao made tofu locally, and a market gradually formed. In the past, there were still many descendants of Shanxi merchants living and developing in Zhushikou, Dashilan, Beijing in the past.
A small military depot has gradually formed a medium-sized city (Baotou) through trade development, and a rural town has developed into a medium-sized city (Chaoyang). Through continuous accumulation of honest management, it has occupied a place in the capital. You can imagine how considerable the "accumulation" of Shanxi merchants was at that time.
Liu Zheng.
He put away his contempt.
He suddenly felt that this time he wanted to persuade Jinzhou like him to dig coal for him...
It's almost impossible.
