Unlike other places, the officials in the capital are all smart and understand the situation better.
They were shocked when they received requests for help from relatives and friends in their hometown, and quickly wrote letters and sent them back.
There is nothing else but to warn relatives and friends not to act rashly and not to offend people in Shandong.
Soon, the situation of the imperial court became known to everyone in the world.
Officials and gentry from all over the country also understood why the imperial court surrendered to Shandong.
The farce targeting Shandong was completely eliminated, and peace returned to various places.
Except for some officials and gentry who made too much noise and were punished, the rest couldn't help but feel awe in their hearts when they looked at the Shandong people.
The court's actions also broke the hearts of many people with integrity.
For a time, there was a wave of resignations from all over the country, and many people were completely disappointed with Ming Dynasty.
"After this incident, we are completely disheartened. We just hope that we can move to Shandong and avoid such disasters."
In Jiangxi, the rescued businessmen came to Jin Qiyu one after another to express their thoughts.
Although the danger was saved this time, it still frightened these people.
They even thought of escaping from the local area.
Jin Qiyu quickly stopped him and said: "Everyone, you are operating here not only to make money for yourself, but also to be our tentacles in Shandong. Without your local support, many activities in Shandong cannot be carried out. Please rest assured. After this incident The imperial court and other places dare not make it difficult for you to wait any longer. You have the strong strength of Shandong behind you to ensure that you are safe and sound."
The core meaning is to stabilize these people and allow them to continue their local operations.
The essence of business is to expand and occupy more and more territory.
If these businessmen operating in various places retreat, how can Shandong's products be sold to the outside world?
Not being able to sell externally means losing the market, and losing the market means being unable to make money.
But how can Shandong develop if it cannot make money?
This is a circular problem.
Zuo Mengeng had already noticed it, so when he sent people to rescue businessmen in various places, he specifically asked this point.
No matter what, we must stabilize the mood of the businessmen, let them stick to the local area, give them confidence and protection, and inspire their pioneering and enterprising spirit.
Hearing that Shandong meant this, the businessmen couldn't help but look at each other.
After discussing in low voices, they introduced Li Chengyang.
"Master Jin, although today's danger has been resolved, if I, Shandong, really fall out with the imperial court in the future, I'm afraid the imperial court will not let me go. Shandong is thousands of miles away, and distant water cannot quench the thirst of the nearer."
Jin Qiyu smiled.
"Everyone, is your business booming?"
Speaking of this, the businessmen all became happy.
"Thanks to the favor of our customers, business is pretty good."
"Thanks to Shandong's products, I am looking forward to a great profit."
Jin Qiyu spread his hands.
"You see, our products from Shandong are so popular. What does this mean? It means that underneath the surface, there are many people who agree with our Shandong. Therefore, you not only want to do business, but also make more friends. You have more friends. , the journey will be easy. When you have friends all over the world, will it be so easy for the court to touch you? "
No one who can do business and do it well is a fool.
After everyone thought carefully, they finally had some understanding of Jin Xingyu's meaning.
Jin Qiyu is right when he says that Shandong products are indeed very popular.
In this way, those who run the business will be able to get away with it.
In other words, the recognition of the imperial court and Shandong among the people today is actually half and half. And as long as they continue to operate with their heart, this comparison will not be skewed in the future.
And when they gain enough support, even if the court understands, there may be nothing they can do.
Of course, the prerequisite for all this is the existence of Shandong's powerful force.
If the imperial court dares to move, it will be a disaster.
Businessmen are a very strange group.
Both crazy and cowardly.
When faced with danger, businessmen retreat very quickly. We are more willing to avoid heavy losses at the smallest cost.
But once they know that they are safe and have a solid backing, they will burst out with extremely powerful aggression capabilities.
After Jin Qiyu's lobbying, these businessmen finally no longer thought about moving to Shandong, but regarded Jiangxi as a piece of cake.
The next thing they have to do is to completely cut, eat, and firmly occupy this piece of cake.
Anyway, with the support of Shandong behind them, they have no fear and don't know how many crazy things they can do.
Another confrontation, another Shandong victory.
The result was that Shandong's ideas were no longer hindered and thoroughly penetrated into the people of all parts of the Ming Dynasty.
Taicang.
In an exquisite small courtyard.
Several businessmen gathered together and repeated Zuo Mengeng's article.
One of them burst into tears while reading.
"I have been in business all my life, and I have suffered many ups and downs. The humiliation I have suffered is too numerous to describe. Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce... Scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, but we businessmen have been stepped on in the mud and soil, and trampled on repeatedly. How despised! We are again What did you do wrong?"
The same goes for another person.
"Commander Zuo said it well. All things are created equal and everyone is equal. We have two shoulders carrying one head. Why are we businessmen inferior?"
The slightly younger one even stood up with a slap in the face.
"My generation of merchants traveled all over the country, exchanged goods and supplies, and communicated with various places. We braved thorns and wind and rain. How many hardships did we suffer, how many taxes we paid, and how many people we supported? What wrong did I do for the country and the people? As Commander Zuo said In other words, those scholars and landowners are oppressing us. Unless we overthrow them, we will never get ahead."
The last person looked at the old man.
"Mr. Yunzhu, you have helped Zhang Ximing a lot in the past few years. Why are you doing this now?"
The old man smiled bitterly.
"Originally, merchants like me have a low status. If we want to survive, what else can we do besides clinging to the powerful? I have funded Zhang Ximing's huge amount of money, hoping to rely on his connections to have a place in this world. Hum! But! Zhang Ximing's eyes are higher than his head, and he has never seen me in his eyes. When I come to visit, I have never even had a cup of hot tea. In the eyes of scholar-bureaucrats like them, what's the difference between our merchants and those low-life merchants?"
This person then asked: "Recently, Zhang Ximing and other Fushe scholars have been talking to each other everywhere, saying that they want to fight to the death with Shandong. They even found the juniors and asked for donations. Seniors, how should this matter be done?"
The young man laughed animatedly.
"What else can he do? Donate money to let them win Shandong, and then continue to dominate us? Just go ahead and dream of him."
The old man didn't have much energy.
"Alas! I was born here and depended on others. I'm afraid that Zhang Ximing's words will make me die without a burial place. We don't have Shandong's protection behind us, and we really can't twist our thighs with our arms."
As soon as these words came out, the room became gloomy.
Everyone sighed and lamented, and really couldn't think of any solution.
While he was feeling depressed, footsteps rushed in, with a look of ecstasy.
"Everyone, the Jinyi Guards entered the city and captured Zhang Ximing."
