"It shouldn't be easy for you to find these people from the Jurchen tribe. If you only teach them military skills, it's a waste of resources, right?"
After listening to Chen Yixin's introduction, Bai Kesi also expressed his own opinion: "Since these people and the tribe behind them have the idea of attaching to our country, can they be allowed to play more roles?"
Chen Yixin smiled and said: "Old Bai, we have actually thought of what you said, and you will know it later."
Chen Yixin deliberately kept it a secret, and he was not in a hurry to elaborate at the moment, but first took Beks and his party to the officer's canteen for lunch, and inspected the base's logistics facilities by the way.
After a brief lunch break, the group left the Jinzhou camp in a carriage and headed to the official business center.
Although Haihan has now controlled a large area north of Jinzhou, Jinzhou is still Haihan's financial and trade center in Liaodong. Most of the goods entering and leaving Liaodong are distributed in Jinzhou, so there are a large number of commercial organizations Collected here.In order to integrate resources and facilitate management, the Management Committee of the Northern Region established the Liaodong China Merchants Bureau. This business center is a trade organization under China Merchants Bureau.
The function of the business center is to publish information on the supply and demand of various commodities in various parts of Liaodong, and at the same time provide merchants with supporting services such as contract signing, settlement, transportation, and warehousing.The most important thing is that this is an official organization, and the business activities involved are equivalent to government endorsement, and merchants don't have to worry about certain uncontrollable risks in the business process.
The business center is in contact with the local governments, and all the information it obtains is first-hand, so even those powerful commercial groups cannot compare with the official agencies in terms of timeliness in collecting and summarizing business information from various places.This also provides business opportunities for small and medium-sized businesses, allowing them to compete with large businesses on the same starting line.
At present, nearly a hundred merchants, large and small, have settled here, covering almost all walks of life related to people's livelihood, and the monthly trade volume is also gradually increasing.Although it can't be compared with the Denglai area in Shandong for the time being, both the government and participating merchants are very optimistic about the development prospects here.
However, this model is nothing new in Haihan, and it is nothing compared to the scale of commercial operations in the south. Even after listening to the introduction, Ning Zijing feels that there are still many things that can be improved.
But what Chen Yixin wants to show to Beks and others is not the operating level of the business center, but something else.
After sitting down in the reception room, Chen Yixin ordered to go down, and several people were brought in soon.Judging by the clothes and appearance of these people, they are all tribes outside the customs, and there are even Manchus with money rat tails, but their expressions are very respectful.
"These people are all from the Jurchen tribe, and they all received military training in the Jinzhou camp, but later found that they were more talented in other fields, so they were arranged to switch to business."
Chen Yixin briefly introduced the background of these people, and then asked one of them named Baktan to talk about his experience and current work.
Baktan looked to be in his thirties, and when he spoke, he actually spoke Haihan Mandarin. Although he had a heavy accent, he could basically understand what he said.
Baktan is not Jurchen, but Ji Lie charming.This ethnic group lives in the seaside area in the direction of the Sea of Japan and the Strait of Tartar, and the area of the territory is even far larger than that of Jianzhou Jurchen.
However, because the Jiliemi tribe lives far away from the middle land, and the bitter cold area is not easy to cultivate, their civilization level has remained in the fishing and hunting era for a long time, and their strength is of course not comparable to that of Jianzhou Jurchen after the establishment of their own family.
After the Houjin changed the name of the country to the Qing Dynasty and officially established the country, a large area of the territory outside the customs that originally belonged to the Nuer Gandu Division of the Ming Dynasty was annexed by the Qing Dynasty, and the Jiliemi area was naturally not spared.The tribe that Baktan belongs to was conscripted by the Manchu Qing 20 years ago, and the young and strong were selected at a ratio of one out of three to be forced to serve in the army.
At that time, the soldiers of the Qing army were divided into three levels: Banner Ding, Armored Man, and Aha.Banners are Jurchens, with the highest status; Aha is composed of Han, Korean and other slaves, with the lowest status; and the armored men in the middle are soldiers of various non-Jurchen tribes, and Ji Liemei belongs to this group.
However, the perennial battles did not bring back wealth and honor to the Jiliemi tribe. Most of these war dividends flowed into the pockets of the Banner Manren.The Jiliemi tribe did not receive any real benefits except for the large number of males lost in the war.
Under such circumstances, the anti-war sentiment of the Jiliemi tribe gradually grew, and they were unwilling to cooperate with the Qing government's conscription measures.But this not only failed to win them better treatment, but brought punishment from the Qing court. The number of Jiliemi tribes being recruited increased, and after enlisting, they were often sent to the most dangerous areas to carry out high-risk operations. Task.
By around 1648, joining the army was almost a dead end for the men of the Jiliemi tribe.At this time, the Qing army was already clearly on the weak side in the military confrontation in the Liaodong area, and more and more people in its ruling area began to notice this trend, and many people secretly contacted Haihan.
However, it was Ji Lie, a Qing army prisoner of war, who established the bridge between Haihan and Ji Lie's tribe.Although the process was somewhat tortuous, and it took several years of contact, the two parties finally established a trade relationship.
For the Jiliemi tribe, the more than ten years of attachment to the Qing Dynasty did not yield any significant benefits. On the contrary, it lost a large number of males, which seriously affected the reproduction of the tribe.The Haihan people are willing to provide the Jiliemi tribe with various living supplies. There is no need for war. The Jiliemi tribe can obtain everything they want through trade channels, even including strictly controlled materials such as salt, iron, tea and sugar.Under such circumstances, it is self-evident who is worthy of cooperation between Haihan and Manqing.
However, during this period, the trading activities between Haihan and Jiliemi tribes were still quite troublesome. The jurisdictions of the two parties were still separated by the territory of the Qing Dynasty, and it was impossible to transport goods by land. Haihan had to make a big circle by sea. Departing from the east coast of the Korean Peninsula, after crossing the Sea of Japan, they arrived at the territory of the Jiremi tribe.
Later, the Manchu Qing gradually lost to the Haihan offensive, and they took the initiative to apply for a truce to negotiate a peace. The two sides established trade relations on the border, and Haihan encouraged Ji Liemei to try to participate.As for his identity, as long as he spends a little more money, it is not difficult to get a bannerman's background.With the business resources specially provided by Haihan, businessmen like Baktan will soon gain a firm foothold in the market, and even start to establish contacts in the high-level Manchu Qing Dynasty.
Thanks to this special status, Baktan can enter and exit the two countries smoothly, so what he sold to Haihan was not only Manchurian specialties, but also a lot of intelligence information.
