Although some ministers advised not to surrender to the Yuan, Zhang Shicheng was willing to listen and had already sent an envoy to the Yuan court to ask for surrender.
In the blink of an eye, the city of Suzhou was about to become the territory of the Yuan Dynasty again, which caused all kinds of waves among some scholars. However, the status of scholars at that time was very low, and it was recorded that the Great Yuan system, there were ten ranks, one official, two officials, three monks, four Taoists, five doctors, six workers, seven hunters, eight people, nine Confucians, and ten beggars. Confucianism is slightly better than the stinky old nine who is called Huazi.
After this nation on horseback stepped into the capital of Beijing, it made a fatal mistake because of the policy of despising knowledge, culture, and intellectuals. Historians have discovered such a phenomenon: there has not been a dynasty in Chinese history that has so many scholars who took the initiative to join the thieves and poured into the ranks of peasant rebellion.
Therefore, the anti-Yuan Zhang Shicheng once inspired the enthusiasm of the scholars in Suzhou. However, at this time, Zhang Shicheng wanted to return to the Yuan court. The news exploded like a thunderclap in the hearts of these soldiers. Intellectuals from several counties in Suzhou also gathered to ask for his life, wanting to change Zhang Shicheng's decision. Does this group of low-status people have so much energy?After all, they are just helpless scholars.
Damn, a few stinky scholars also made trouble for Lao Tzu. ”
As a result, this group of soldiers dispersed in a hurry under the drive of Zhang Shicheng's guards.
The Yuan court's military department in Hangzhou sent a letter to Zhang Shicheng. Zhang Shicheng originally wanted to gain more benefits in the negotiation with the Hangzhou Yuan Imperial Court ** on the surrender matter, but it turned out to be wishful thinking. The reason is very simple, Fang Guozhen has already come to the city of Kunshan, and Zhang Shicheng has no advantage at this time, so Zhang Shicheng was stripped clean, he originally hoped to be awarded the official title of "King Wu", but he did not expect to be rejected mercilessly by the Yuanguan, but was awarded the official position of "Tai Lieutenant". Zhang Shicheng reluctantly accepted the arrangement of the Yuan court, and obtained the seal of the Taiwei that was brought to him by the military department Shangshu Wanyan, which symbolized power.
As a result, the banner with "King Cheng" written on the city wall of Suzhou was slowly lowered, and then the banner of "Yuan Taiwei" was raised.
Suzhou City is very chaotic, although Zhang Shicheng is still there, but he chose the new master, which is similar to "changing the dynasty", it is not normal to be chaotic.
Shen Wansan is not afraid of the current predicament, because he has a new idea in his head, to build a national business network, so that Shen Kee business can blossom all over the country.
This idea is very good, but it needs a huge amount of money to back it up, although Shen Wansan is a rich man, but to come up with such a large amount of money to open a branch in the country, he really has to weigh his own strength.
It is impossible to become a fat man in one bite, so Shen Wansan decided to start by setting up a first-class sales point and gradually realize his dream of building a business network across the country.
He began to send people to Inner Mongolia, Shaanxi, Qinghai, and Gansu, where he either bought or participated in the entrustment, and set up several first-class outlets. Then I found someone to go to Yunnan, Guizhou, Sichuan and other places. In short, I ran all over the country.
The leather goods, medicinal materials, mountain goods, etc. collected by these ** sales points also sent some goods to some branches in Yingtian and Jiangsu. Similarly, some semicolons in Yingtian and Jiangsu can also send some goods in the south of the Yangtze River, such as silk and handicrafts, to semicolons in other places. This kind of practice of purchasing from here and then moving to other places to sell is not a new method to seek the difference between the two places. But Shen Wansan can let go of this in the era of war and chaos, which requires great courage and vision. Why is there always more poor than rich in this world?The most important point is that the poor lack the courage and vision of the rich.
But it didn't go so smoothly at the beginning, either some ** merchants didn't do it because the profits were too low, or the goods were smashed in their own hands and empty cannons. But Shen Wansan did not give up, and based on the principle of mutual benefit, he linked the interests of both parties to get through the initial predicament.
Everything is difficult at the beginning, and then it is much smoother. With this nationwide business network, the money began to roll in. Next, a number of semi-branch stores with "Shen Ji Firm" signboards appeared all over the country, and Shen Wansan's business in the world began to take shape, and he was getting closer and closer to his dream. 100 help plan
