Chapter 218： Qing court's countermeasures

In Xuzhou, a fleet of ships from Suzhou landed.

When a large number of good goods appeared in Nanzhili, not only merchants from other places went to Nanzhili to buy the goods, but also merchants from Nanzhili sent the goods to various places to sell.

After the fleet broke down and fixed, the coolie on the wharf immediately leaned over and asked if it was necessary to move the cargo.

"My boat is all high-end exquisite glass, as well as perfume soap. You must be very careful when unloading. You can't afford to break a piece. Did you do this job?"

Guan Fang asked.

"Don't worry, the shopkeeper, we are all good hands. I specially arrange for you a group of veterans who have been working for more than five years. There is absolutely no problem."

The foreman in the lead assured him, patting his chest.

"Okay, move these goods down, 50 taels of silver."

In fact, there are not many options for managing the age of the house. The business on this terminal is monopolized by two or three gangs. In order not to be bullied, these porters formed gangs spontaneously.

Some gangs are so powerful that even the local government has to show some face.

Those who have not joined the gang will not be able to carry it privately and will be beaten by the gang. And after joining the gang, most of the money they made had to be turned in.

"Oh, the shopkeeper, you are really bullying and ignorant. The perfumes in this city are all in short supply, and all shops are sold out. You can make more than ten taels of silver per bottle. Such a lucrative business, you Only gave us fifty taels of fortunate money, this is too unreasonable."

The gang leader is not a rough person with no brain and knowledge, how can he be brainless if he can sit in this position. He knows the quotations of various goods better than those merchants.

"Hey, you are very knowledgeable, so why don't you know that when I bought the goods in Suzhou, the price was too expensive to die? I also made some hard money, and the money was made by the evil manufacturers. I will give you the most. Add ten taels, no more. You can make less than 60 taels if you move rice for a day. If you don't do it, I will find someone else."

The age of the house has been increased by twelve, and bargaining is a common process throughout the country.

After some wrangling, the two parties finally set the price at sixty-five taels.

Finally, help the master to greet people with an open eyebrow.

Just as Guan Fangling said, they kept carrying rice from morning to night, and they did not earn 65 taels a day. Moreover, carrying rice is physically laborious, and it is quite fortunate.

And transporting these perfume soaps and glass is easy work, just need to be careful not to break the glass mirror.

This kind of work belongs to the best of all their businesses, and all gangs will rush to do it. This time they are lucky and are closer to the fleet that manages the age of the house. They will not be so stupid to give up this good job to other gangs.

The goods are disembarked in piece by piece and moved into the warehouse.

At this moment, a team of officers and soldiers came over.

"Seize these things, these are prohibited commodities."

The leader always pointed at the goods that were being moved, and said something that made the housekeeper obsessed with age.

He didn't understand why these commodities of his had become prohibited commodities.

This is actually a private order of some officials in the Qing court, mainly from some generals in the army.

Some Manchu officers believed that it was a big mistake to continue to let those luxury goods sold in the south to the north. This will allow the South to make a lot of money, make more advanced weapons, recruit more soldiers and horses, and hoard more food.

At that time, these powerful troops will come over. Therefore, this kind of commercial behavior is just for the enemy and must be prohibited.

Of course, there is some truth to this view, but the Manchu high-level officials did not agree to issue such a ban.

It's very simple, they also need to use these things.

A large part of the perfume soaps and mirrors shipped to the north have flowed into the imperial palace and the mansions of many officials.

These things that can make those people's lives more comfortable, they can't lack for a moment now.

Therefore, prohibiting the sale of these commodities to the north would violate the interests of many big people and would not work.

However, in the face of the loss of wealth to the south, some diehards who were very loyal to the Qing Dynasty acted privately and ordered the collection of southern luxury goods.

This is not the case, the house age has unfortunately caught up with the first wave.

"Stop, why do you say that this is a contraband, but is there official documents?"

Guan Fang is not an honest farmer, and the soldiers believe in whatever they say. Without official documents from the court, he would not believe that there was such a ban.

"I say that these are contraband and are contraband."

The leader said.

"It's a big tone, then I'm going to governor Liu's house and ask if Master Liu has the final say in Xuzhou, or you have the final say."

Guan Fangling dared to be so arrogant, naturally, it was not because of simple courage, he was also connected. In Xuzhou, he and the governor knew each other.

In Suzhou, there are even more officials who have friendship with him.

Collusion between officials and businessmen, collusion between officials and businessmen, these days businessmen have no personal connections, so they can only do small business. No one is connected to this kind of bulk trade, which is to give meat to other people's mouths.

Hearing the name of Governor Liu, the soldiers in this squad were a little nervous.

However, the leader is still very tough, and he insisted on confiscation of the goods.

"Guys, these soldiers are not allowed to do business. This is going to break your jobs. Without those of us in business, how can you move goods in the future?"

Guan Fangling saw that the boss actually did it, and was so angry that he could only instigate the dockers.

This trick was really effective. Suddenly hundreds of coolies gathered on the wharf, surrounded by more than 30 soldiers, and prevented them from taking the goods.

Naturally, these wharf gangs did not find that their conscience wanted to help manage the age of the house, but the actions of the soldiers did harm their interests.

They don't care about how much silver these business activities will cause to flow to the south, and what changes the situation will cause, they only care about their own income.

If these soldiers confiscated the merchants' goods indiscriminately, then wherever merchants would dare to stay here in the future, there would be no work for them.

They are all professional porters, and they count on this to live.

The collection of these soldiers is just cutting off their rations.

"No acceptance, no acceptance."

Hundreds of people wielded poles and wooden sticks and shouted loudly, making this unit of the Qing army very helpless.

The two sides were in a stalemate. Not long after, the Xu family, a large local businessman in Xuzhou, also sent people to negotiate. They were the buyers of this batch of goods.

Therefore, they also strongly demanded that the soldiers put down the goods, and at the same time expressed that they would report it to the governor, accusing them of perverting the law.

There were many Qing officials and generals who wanted to prevent the inflow of southern commodities. However, in the actual implementation process, they would always encounter many unsolvable troubles.

As a result, almost no official succeeded.
