Introduction:

In the early years of Xianfeng, Qiao Guangzhi, the owner of Qiaojiabao Qiaojia in Qixian County, Shanxi Province, failed in business and died seriously. When Joe was in power, the Qiao family in Baotou was in short supply of silver and the goods were unsalable because they competed with their enemies for business hegemony. Shareholders and businessmen have come to ask for shares and money. In times of crisis, not only were no businessmen willing to lend money to help the Qiao family tide over the difficulties, but they all watched helplessly as the Qiao family's industry waited for an opportunity to carve up. The first wife immediately ordered people to recall Qiao Zhiyong, the second young master of the Qiao family who took the imperial examination in Taiyuan, and forced him to give up his childhood friend Jiang and marry the daughter nicknamed "the first porter in Shanxi" to take over the family affairs and become the new owner of the Qiao family.

Qiao Zhiyong doesn't want to do business or marry a rich girl, Liu Yuhan. However, in the face of everyone's kneeling and expectation, he was expected to win the top prize, but he gave up the imperial examination for his brother and abandoned business to bear the ups and downs of the Qiao family compound. Qiao Zhiyong reluctantly agreed. Sun Maocai, an experienced and poor scholar. In Taiyuan, I met Qiao Zhiyong several times while preparing for the exam, and even had a war of words with Qiao Zhiyong at Longmenkou as an examiner. At this time, he learned that the Qiao family was in trouble and came to help.

Qiao Zhiyong and his party arrived in Baotou in time, which temporarily stabilized the situation. Under the puzzled eyes of all the people in Baotou, Qiao Zhiyong took risks and worked out his own plan in an orderly way under great pressure. Liu Dake accidentally borrowed money again, which enabled Qiao Zhiyong to defeat Da Changsheng. Because of Qiao Zhiyong's generosity, Qiao Jiahe turned against each other. Because Cui Mingjiu, the big shopkeeper, was arrested in this battle, his brother Cui held a grudge against Qiao Zhiyong.

Qiao Zhiyong made drastic personnel changes and formulated new store rules to ensure the stability of Joe's life, and gradually established a business order headed by honesty. Qiao Zhiyong has won the support and trust of many businessmen and shareholders in Baotou with his "righteousness, faith and benefit", and the business of the Qiao family has revived.

When Qiao Zhiyong returned to Qixian, Liu Yuhan's gentleness and kindness touched Qiao Zhiyong, and the couple finally became inseparable. At this time, he was seriously ill because of excessive sadness. Qiao Zhiyong accidentally bought a map of a century-old trade route from a beggar. After studying it with great concentration, he found that the tea road, which had been blocked for many years because of the Taiping Rebellion, contained huge business opportunities. Despite the strong opposition of his family, Qiao Zhiyong took all kinds of merchants to distribute silver maliciously and went south to Wuyishan, a tea-producing resort. Half a year later, just as it was rumored that Qiao Zhiyong was killed on the way to the south, and he was going to carve up the property of the jstars, Qiao Zhiyong returned to Qixian with the tea he bought for each family. Subsequently, Qiao Zhiyong went north to Chaktu until the Sino-Russian border, and signed a long-term cooperative trade contract with Russian businessmen by virtue of "righteousness, faith and benefit". At this point, the tea road from Wuyishan in the south to Chaktu in the north, which had been blocked for many years, was dredged by Qiao Zhiyong, and thousands of tea farmers were saved.

In the process of selling tea and exchanging silver tickets, the convenience of using silver tickets made Qiao Zhiyong have a strong interest in the ticket number. After some understanding, despite the strong opposition of Sun Maocai, Qiao Zhiyong resolutely went to Beijing, overcame all difficulties, opened a draft bank, and put forward the slogan of "connecting the world with goods". Later, I went to the four provinces in the south of the Yangtze River to make out the invoice number, hoping to help the court exchange official silver. Sun Maocai and Qiao Zhiyong gradually came into conflict because of their differences in business. At this time, Jiang had already married, and Qiao Zhiyong, the head of the family, hated it. Tweety, Jiang's maid, happened to see Qiao Zhiyong's secret burial of General Taiping, and Jiang learned that a complaint had sent Qiao Zhiyong to prison. The Qiao family was helpless, and the court ordered Qiao Zhiyong to be banned and demanded huge sums of money. From then on, Qiao Zhiyong was disheartened and lay at home for ten years. Sun Maocai persuaded his first wife, Cao Shi, to take charge of the business of the jstars instead of Qiao Zhiyong. Qiao Zhiyong thought and thought, and it was the last straw, so he kicked Sun Maocai out.

Ten years later, with the collapse of Taiping Army, the court lifted the ban on Qiao Zhiyong's circle. However, due to the turbulent situation, Qiao Zhiyong is still unable to do business in the sea, so he has to keep a low profile. In a flood of victims, Qiao Zhiyong resolutely decided to open a porridge farm for100000 hungry people. As soon as official Hu Shuchun arrived, Qiao Zhiyong went into hiding.

Ten years later, the imperial court sent troops to the Northern Expedition. Zuo represents the imperial court, hoping to borrow money from Qiao Zhiyong to support the army. Qiao Zhiyong, who has lived at home for a long time, readily agreed. At the end of the war, because of Sun Maocai's frame-up, the court actually wanted to pay off the money. Qiao Zhiyong was so angry that he went to Beijing to beg and was arrested and imprisoned again. The court felt a little embarrassed about how to deal with Qiao Zhiyong, so it summoned Sun Maocai, who was driven out of the house by Qiao Zhiyong twenty years ago, as the presiding judge of this case, trying to accuse Sun Maocai of forcing people to death. When Sun Maocai and Qiao Zhiyong met in prison, they felt a lot. Sun Maocai murmured, you and I are really like two grasshoppers tied to a rope.

1900, Eight-Nation Alliance captured the capital, and Empress Dowager Cixi fled. Despite public opposition, Qiao Zhiyong fled by donating money to the court. Empress dowager cixi lifted the ban on local firms exchanging official silver, and the jstars made a fortune from then on. Decades later, Qiao Zhiyong and Jiang died in their twilight years. When they met again, their lifelong hatred and hostility were dissolved in a few words.
