Since the beginning of the trade from Dongzhou, receiving the first batch of goods from Shenzhou, a large caravan of welfares was born.
The shops in Shenzhou provided all the wagons out of town to carry modern goods to the capital.
Trade grew even more prosperous, a large urban Dongzhou, and the corridor grew exponentially, this time marking the second, with the first wave being the Third Prince's entry.
With the rise of commercialism, as well as a large port city, Dongzhou, with foreigners coming out of foreigners, the demand for goods increased by dozens of departments. Transportation trade is a profitable business. The highest now
The merchants were shocked, no matter how much they had bought from the capital. However, the other party seems to be producing the product continuously. At first, the merchant thought to use a small quantity of the product to make several times more profit, But plans have to change in the face of massive dumping of products. The sales plan has been changed to retail, which has a lower profit per piece but sells large quantities.
Foreigners from other regions, when confronted with modern products, became fascinated and unable to withdraw. Furthermore, causing neighboring regions to begin to have increased demand for products In the face of significant demand from the market The business of importing goods from the capital is even more multiplying.
The wealth in the merchants' hands was at least twice as rich, but there were drawbacks. The power base of the Third Prince Zhao Ze Min A trader and investor When this group of people came to power, the prince's voice began to diminish now and then.
The capital group in Dongzhou raised itself to be the ruling class. As the Third Prince Zhao Ze Min, the extraordinary talent could still stop the capital clan's emergence. It was because the merchants had the power to add too fast until the third prince could not make it in time.
Capitalism did not just happen to the capital of Shenzhou. Capitalism began to spread throughout the Dazhou. When a merchant has the power to have the right, a voice comes out. The balance of power of the nobles began to tilt to the other side.
There was a large aristocrat in other power bases, so capitalists could not fully participate in politics. Zhao Lingxin's side, although trade liberalization still did not allow the capitalists to reach out.
Capital groups can only support behind the scenes. All the officials and government belong to Zhao Lingxin. The capitalist could hardly have an inch of influence.
However, the story of Dongzhou City was completely different. The capitalists infiltrated all the forces of power. At a level that the Third Prince could no longer control
The capitalist traders began to play a political role. Able to intervene in government policy at will The capitalism that Zhao Ling Xin opened the Pandora's chest had begun to change the Great Yan Huang Continent until it could not return to the same.
When there are more products, The demand for high-end products among the noble has increased. They want new and unique products. As in the banquet of women, wives, and nobles
This time, a group of wives of the powerful had jewelry. Modern clothes And also carry the powder cartridge to show off at the party But this time they had to suffer from the same hot head as before.
"What! does your house have a palm-sized mirror? Here, I don't want to brag. My husband bought a new type of mirror from Shenzhou and placed it in the bedroom. Even the servant in the house should not touch. "
The noblewoman of the party said with a smile that invited all of them to slap in. Despite saying that he did not want anyone to see it, a noble woman ordered the servant to lift the bedroom's mirror.
What all the women at the banquet saw in the mirror in front of them was so desperate that they could hardly resist.
"Everyone, look at this. This mirror is more than 2 meters high, and you can see the whole body. This is because of you. Otherwise, I do not want to bring the mirror out of the room like this," the noblewoman said with delight. Finally, at this party, he was the most outstanding again.
The group of women attending the party almost threw away the palm-sized mirror of their own. His own mirror is a hundred times smaller than the other party. Everyone hurried back to their own house and forced her husband to buy a large mirror. A big party will then be sent to compare and invite everyone to see the mirror at their home.
Nevertheless, the story has reversed. The Third Prince Zhao Ze Min has established himself as Emperor. There was an order prohibiting the trade between Shenzhou and Dongzhou.
Orders that conflict with the interests of many people. Indeed challenging to follow, There was still a group of merchants importation smugglers headed to Shenzhou. The officials in Dongzhou, belonging to the capitalist group, would not proceed with the trade ban. Secretly supporting the trade Emperor Zhao Zhemin was almost unaware that his royal command had no one to follow.
However, in Shenzhou City, the Security Council promulgated martial law. Although the trade was not suspended, the export volume was reduced. To reserve military-strategic materials.
When this ban was imposed, the powerful merchants in the city were in great trouble. Her home wife pressures to get the product. But when trading is difficult, what can be done? Problems always have a solution, and a brilliant merchant offers a method.
"Why don't we take over Shenzhou?"
These words sparked all the influential people of Dongzhou. Correct, when it is impossible to trade, Why don't we take Shenzhou alone? The product is indeed their own. The profit is even more exponential. The merchants calculated profits until they drooled. They could hardly hold back.
When facing 50 percent of profits, merchants will find products to sell you. In the face of 100 percent profits, merchants risk their death even if they are illegal. Not to mention a 200 percent profit, merchants will do whatever it takes to get it. Either way
The merchants began to gather proposals for their new emperor.
"Your Majesty, we can't wait forever. Please lead your army," said one merchant.
"All of you, let me think about it first." Zhao Ze Min tried to deny it.
Emperor Zhao Zemin did not want to go to war this time. Compared to his two brothers, The landscape of Dongzhou city is the most advantageous. Far from the capital
There is a stronghold of the city of Dongzhou that can be resisted for a long time. Zhao Zemin did not want to raise his army to capture Shenzhou. He wanted to sit on the mountain to see two tigers fighting. Then it was he who was going to be a fisherman, reaping the benefits at the end. However, the powerful merchants in the city tried to pressure him out.
"Your Majesty, Shenzhou has many modern product sources. Even if we were unable to seize Shenzhou, we had to take over the production method. This will allow our Dongzhou to be able to develop by leaps and bounds." Gu Heng tried to persuade the emperor.
The merchants had already expressed their desire, and they wanted a modern way of producing goods from Shenzhou. Moreover, when Gu Heng spoke, Zhao Zhemin could not remain silent. Gu Heng was the most powerful of the merchants, representing all powers in Dongzhou. Gu Heng's words were so heavy that he could not remain silent.
"If Lord Gu Heng said so, we can send the soldiers out." Faced with the pressure of the power, Zhao Ze Min could only send the soldiers out.
"Thank you, Your Majesty," the merchants voiced out together.
"I have twenty thousand soldiers. Will be given to Lord Gu Heng in command. "
Zhao Zhemin took out the jade seal, ordered the army to give it to Gu Heng.
Gu Heng reached out to collect the jade seal.
"I will not disappoint you."
Don't underestimate Dongzhou's twenty thousand manpower. Although he had the least amount of personnel, Dongzhou was wealthy. A qualified soldier has excellent equipment and a large salary. Causing full morale
Gu Heng did not intend to take over the capital of Shenzhou anyway. He thought of using melee to seize the secrets of the production of these modern products.
The powerful groups saw the emperor as willing to act on their offer. The merchants began to look up in their hearts to calculate the profit they would receive.
At that time, a soldier came to report.
"The Emperor, urgent news! There was a Martial Artists boat coming to the port in Dongzhou. "
"What, let us go together." Zhao Ze Min was shocked, hurried to invite people to watch the event. The appearance of Martial Artists was big news. They rarely appear in the east of the great continent. Lest things happen
