▁the ▁military , ▁the ▁M ing ▁government ▁decided ▁to ▁grant ▁salt ▁sales ▁license ▁to ▁those ▁who ▁deliver ▁supplies ▁for ▁the ▁front ier ▁soldiers . ▁The ▁salt ▁trade , ▁as ▁a ▁high ▁margin ▁trade ▁of ▁essential ▁goods , ▁had ▁been ▁histor ically ▁mon opol ized ▁by ▁the ▁government ▁to ▁ensure ▁enough ▁tax , ▁and ▁the ▁distribution ▁of ▁salt ▁sales ▁lic enses ▁served ▁as ▁one ▁of ▁the ▁main ▁profit ▁sources ▁for ▁the ▁early ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants . ▁Sh an xi ▁is ▁located ▁in ▁North ▁China ▁close ▁to ▁the ▁M ing - N or thern ▁Y uan ▁border , ▁and ▁Y unch eng ▁city ▁in ▁southern ▁Sh an xi ▁has ▁a ▁very ▁large ▁natural ▁salt ▁production ▁lake , ▁therefore ▁the ▁ge ographical ▁proxim ity ▁was ▁convenient ly ▁explo ited ▁by ▁these ▁mer ch ants . ▁ ▁In ▁Q ing ▁dynast y , ▁mer ch ants ▁from ▁central ▁Sh an xi ▁bas in , ▁including ▁Yu ci , ▁Q ix ian , ▁Ta igu , ▁ ▁P ing ya o , ▁etc ▁pione ered ▁the ▁first ▁private ▁financial ▁system , ▁so - called ▁draft ▁banks ▁or ▁Pia oh ao , ▁throughout ▁and ▁even ▁beyond ▁China . ▁ ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁nin ete enth ▁century , ▁thirty - two ▁pia oh ao ▁with ▁ 4 7 5 ▁branches ▁were ▁in ▁business ▁covering ▁most ▁of ▁China , ▁and ▁the ▁central ▁Sh an xi ▁region ▁became ▁the ▁de ▁fact o ▁financial ▁cent res ▁of ▁Q ing ▁China . ▁ ▁During ▁the ▁Republic ▁of ▁China ▁period |
, ▁the ▁Q ing ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁based ▁on ▁conventional ▁draft ▁banks ▁and ▁tea ▁trade ▁had ▁largely ▁fallen . ▁The ▁prominent ▁example ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁during ▁this ▁time ▁is ▁H . ▁H . ▁K ung , ▁who ▁was ▁highly ▁influ ential ▁in ▁determ ining ▁the ▁economic ▁policies ▁of ▁the ▁Ku om int ang - led ▁National ist ▁government . ▁ ▁L ega cies ▁ ▁Business ▁and ▁culture ▁legacy ▁ ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁active ▁for ▁more ▁than ▁five ▁hundred ▁years ▁from ▁the ▁early ▁M ing ▁dynast y , ▁creating ▁centuries - old ▁prosper ity , ▁leaving ▁significant ▁business ▁and ▁cultural ▁leg a cies . ▁Among ▁the ▁diverse ▁business es ▁scope ▁that ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁had ▁worked ▁on , ▁there ▁are ▁two ▁main ▁tr ades , ▁one ▁is ▁the ▁draft ▁bank ▁system , ▁or ▁Pia oh ao , ▁serving ▁as ▁the ▁main ▁financial ▁institutions , ▁and ▁the ▁other ▁is ▁the ▁tea ▁trade ▁to ▁Mong olia ▁and ▁Russia , ▁in ▁exchange ▁of ▁fur ▁and ▁European ▁goods . ▁ ▁All ▁pia oh ao ▁were ▁organ ised ▁as ▁single ▁propriet aries ▁or ▁partners hips , ▁where ▁the ▁own ers ▁carried ▁un limited ▁li ability . ▁They ▁concentr ated ▁on ▁inter pro vin cial ▁rem itt ances , ▁and ▁later ▁on ▁conduct ing ▁government ▁services . ▁From ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁Ta ip ing ▁Reb ell ion , ▁when ▁transport ation ▁routes ▁between ▁the ▁capital ▁and ▁the ▁provinces ▁were ▁cut ▁off , ▁pia oh ao |
▁began ▁invol vement ▁with ▁the ▁delivery ▁of ▁government ▁tax ▁re venue . ▁Pia oh ao ▁grew ▁by ▁taking ▁on ▁a ▁role ▁in ▁adv ancing ▁funds ▁and ▁arr anging ▁foreign ▁lo ans ▁for ▁provincial ▁govern ments , ▁issu ing ▁notes , ▁and ▁running ▁regional ▁tre as uries . ▁ ▁To ▁successfully ▁run ▁a ▁nation wide ▁financial ▁system , ▁cred ibility ▁was ▁of ▁param ount ▁importance ▁for ▁the ▁draft ▁banks . ▁There ▁were ▁numerous ▁stories ▁that ▁Sh an xi ▁draft ▁banks ▁hon ored ▁their ▁bank ▁notes ▁even ▁after ▁gener ations ▁or ▁major ▁dis aster s . ▁An ▁honor ary ▁system ▁to ▁the ▁highest ▁degree ▁was ▁a ▁main ▁legacy ▁of ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants . ▁ ▁They ▁widely ▁employed ▁joint ▁vent ures ▁among ▁families ▁living ▁in ▁the ▁same ▁villages ▁or ▁towns , ▁yet ▁they ▁generally ▁avoided ▁using ▁direct ▁relative ▁in ▁the ▁business ▁management , ▁direct ▁relatives ▁could ▁only ▁be ▁own ers ▁together ▁but ▁not ▁man agers . ▁This ▁way ▁they ▁minim ized ▁the ▁inter ference ▁of ▁personal ▁bias ▁based ▁on ▁kin ship ▁with ▁professional ▁business ▁management . ▁ ▁They ▁were ▁the ▁first ▁to ▁separate ▁the ▁ownership ▁and ▁management ▁of ▁business es , ▁which ▁is ▁cru cial ▁for ▁professional ▁business ▁development , ▁such ▁as ▁draft ▁bank ▁financial ▁systems . ▁The ▁professional ism ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁Mer ch ants ▁was ▁also ▁well - known . ▁Their ▁professional ism ▁was ▁character ized ▁by ▁dedic ation ▁and ▁focus . ▁ ▁The ▁families ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁Mer ch ants ▁were ▁generally ▁different ▁from ▁histor ically ▁wealth |
y ▁families , ▁who ▁gained ▁wealth ▁mainly ▁through ▁political ▁privile ge ▁with ▁key ▁family ▁members ▁as ▁b ureau cr ats ▁in ▁the ▁court . ▁A ▁lot ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁t ended ▁to ▁run ▁business es ▁without ▁amb ition ▁in ▁politics . ▁Although ▁some ▁of ▁them ▁did ▁eventually ▁seek ▁higher ▁social ▁status ▁by ▁joining ▁the ▁Chinese ▁b ureau cr atic ▁system , ▁and ▁combined ▁the ▁business ▁network ▁and ▁wealth ▁with ▁political ▁power . ▁ ▁China ▁Central ▁Television ▁created ▁an ▁eight - part ▁document ary ▁about ▁them ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 6 . ▁ ▁Architecture ▁legacy ▁▁▁ ▁The ▁enorm ous ▁wealth ▁accum ulated ▁from ▁the ▁international ▁trade ▁and ▁the ▁financial ▁institutions ▁had ▁enabled ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁to ▁build ▁lux ur ious ▁family ▁resid ences ▁The ▁houses ▁and ▁gard ens ▁built ▁by ▁them ▁are ▁culture ▁and ▁architecture ▁her it ages ▁now , ▁and ▁most ▁of ▁these ▁buildings ▁are ▁scattered ▁throughout ▁the ▁central ▁Sh an xi ▁bas in . ▁ ▁The ▁notable ▁architecture ▁complex es ▁are : ▁ ▁Wang ▁Family ▁Comp ound ▁in ▁L ing sh i , ▁which ▁is ▁the ▁largest ▁of ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁Cour ty ard ▁H ouses . ▁ ▁Q iao ▁Family ▁Comp ound ▁in ▁Q i ▁County ▁ ▁Qu ▁Family ▁Comp ound ▁in ▁Q i ▁County ▁ ▁Ch ang ▁Family ▁Comp ound ▁in ▁Yu ci ▁ ▁C ao ▁Family ▁Comp ound ▁in ▁Ta igu ▁ ▁The ▁K ung ▁Family ▁Res idence ▁in ▁Ta igu , ▁where ▁the ▁family ▁of ▁H . ▁H |

▁from ▁one ▁branch ▁to ▁another , ▁the ▁company ▁introduced ▁draft s , ▁c ash able ▁in ▁the ▁company ' s ▁many ▁branches ▁around ▁China . ▁Although ▁this ▁new ▁method ▁was ▁originally ▁designed ▁for ▁business ▁transactions ▁within ▁the ▁X iy ue ch eng ▁Company , ▁it ▁became ▁so ▁popular ▁that ▁in ▁ 1 8 2 3 ▁the ▁owner ▁gave ▁up ▁the ▁d ye ▁business ▁altogether ▁and ▁re organ ized ▁the ▁company ▁as ▁a ▁special ▁rem itt ance ▁firm , ▁R ish eng ch ang ▁Pia oh ao . ▁ ▁In ▁the ▁next ▁thirty ▁years , ▁eleven ▁pia oh ao ▁were ▁established ▁in ▁Sh an xi ▁province , ▁including ▁P ing ya o ▁and ▁neighbor ing ▁count ies ▁of ▁Q i ▁County , ▁Ta igu , ▁and ▁Yu ci . ▁By ▁the ▁end ▁of ▁the ▁nin ete enth ▁century , ▁thirty - two ▁pia oh ao ▁with ▁ 4 7 5 ▁branches ▁were ▁in ▁business ▁covering ▁most ▁of ▁China , ▁and ▁the ▁central ▁Sh an xi ▁region ▁became ▁the ▁de ▁fact o ▁financial ▁cent res ▁of ▁Q ing ▁China . ▁The ▁Chinese ▁bank ing ▁institutions ▁of ▁draft ▁bank ▁or ▁pia oh ao ▁were ▁also ▁known ▁as ▁Sh an xi ▁banks ▁because ▁they ▁were ▁owned ▁primarily ▁by ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants . ▁ ▁All ▁pia oh ao ▁were ▁organ ised ▁as ▁single ▁propriet aries ▁or ▁partners hips , ▁where ▁the ▁own ers ▁carried ▁un limited ▁li ability . ▁They ▁concentr ated ▁on ▁inter pro vin cial ▁rem itt ances , ▁and ▁later ▁on ▁conduct |
ing ▁government ▁services . ▁From ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁Ta ip ing ▁Reb ell ion , ▁when ▁transport ation ▁routes ▁between ▁the ▁capital ▁and ▁the ▁provinces ▁were ▁cut ▁off , ▁pia oh ao ▁began ▁invol vement ▁with ▁the ▁delivery ▁of ▁government ▁tax ▁re venue . ▁Pia oh ao ▁grew ▁by ▁taking ▁on ▁a ▁role ▁in ▁adv ancing ▁funds ▁and ▁arr anging ▁foreign ▁lo ans ▁for ▁provincial ▁govern ments , ▁issu ing ▁notes , ▁and ▁running ▁regional ▁tre as uries . ▁ ▁Mor ck ▁ 2 0 1 0 ▁Hyp oth esis ▁of ▁Russian ▁In flu ence ▁on ▁Sh an xi ▁D raft ▁Bank ▁ ▁Over ▁the ▁centuries ▁the ▁Sil k ▁Road ▁had ▁become ▁less ▁fav ou rable ▁due ▁to ▁centuries ▁of ▁d eter ior ation ▁and ▁dest abil isation , ▁the ▁Golden ▁Hor de ▁had ▁greatly ▁dep op ulated ▁Central ▁Asia ▁and ▁band its ▁had ▁completely ▁dra ined ▁most ▁of ▁the ▁region ▁of ▁commerce . ▁By ▁the ▁late ▁ 1 6 th ▁century , ▁the ▁Sil k ▁Road ▁had ▁become ▁nearly ▁imp ass able ▁making ▁it ▁des olate ▁for ▁commercial ▁purposes . ▁Thus ▁in ▁the ▁ 1 9 th ▁century , ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁did ▁business ▁in ▁the ▁X in ji ang ▁region , ▁which ▁was ▁the ▁entry ▁into ▁western ▁China , ▁but ▁none ▁of ▁the ▁mer ch ants ▁would ▁trade ▁along ▁the ▁( former ) ▁route ▁itself ▁at ▁this ▁point . ▁As ▁the ▁trade ▁had ▁ceased ▁in ▁this ▁region ▁Western ▁re lic ▁hun ters ▁of ▁the ▁ 1 |
8 th ▁and ▁ 1 9 th ▁centuries ▁would ▁often ▁describe ▁ru ins ▁along ▁the ▁once ▁magnific ent ▁trad ing ▁and ▁commercial ▁route . ▁The ▁M ing ▁dynast y ▁had ▁made ▁trad ing ▁through ▁the ▁sea ▁illegal ▁and ▁following ▁the ▁Man ch u ▁con quest ▁of ▁the ▁M ing ▁dynast y , ▁the ▁Q ing ▁had ▁ordered ▁the ▁ster il isation ▁of ▁a ▁ 5 0 ▁li ▁( or ▁ 1 6 ▁kilom eters ) ▁wide ▁area ▁along ▁the ▁entire ▁Chinese ▁coast , ▁the ▁Q ing ▁Ar mu ▁le ve led ▁all ▁buildings ▁and ▁removed ▁all ▁residents ▁of ▁the ▁area ▁in land ▁in ▁three ▁days , ▁this ▁move ▁was ▁done ▁to ▁isol ate ▁Southern ▁M ing ▁dynast y ▁reb els ▁on ▁Taiwan . ▁▁ ▁The ▁quar antine ▁band ▁around ▁the ▁Chinese ▁coast ▁which ▁was ▁marked ▁with ▁signs ▁stating ▁" Any one ▁found ▁over ▁this ▁line ▁shall ▁be ▁be head ed ▁instantly ", ▁was ▁thoroughly ▁pat rolled ▁by ▁the ▁military ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁and ▁the ▁affected ▁area ▁was ▁w iden ed ▁a ▁total ▁of ▁three ▁times . ▁In ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 6 8 3 ▁the ▁coast al ▁areas ▁of ▁China ▁were ▁allowed ▁to ▁be ▁res ett led ▁and ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 8 6 5 ▁at ▁the ▁port ▁cities ▁of ▁Gu ang z hou , ▁Z hang z hou , ▁N ing po , ▁and ▁Y unta i ▁a ▁more ▁limited ▁form ▁of ▁international ▁trade ▁was ▁allowed ▁by ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y . ▁This ▁very |
▁limited ▁form ▁of ▁international ▁trade ▁along ▁some ▁parts ▁of ▁the ▁Chinese ▁coast ▁was ▁ended ▁when , ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 7 5 7 , ▁the ▁Q ian long ▁Emperor ▁had ▁closed ▁off ▁all ▁of ▁these ▁port ▁cities ▁to ▁foreign ers ▁once ▁again . ▁Limited ▁trade ▁res umed ▁in ▁Gu ang z hou ▁following ▁the ▁un inv ited ▁arrival ▁of ▁British ▁ships ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 7 5 9 ▁and ▁the ▁restricted ▁re open ing ▁of ▁the ▁city ▁a ▁year ▁later ▁in ▁ 1 7 6 0 . ▁▁ ▁The ▁restrictions ▁placed ▁on ▁foreign ▁trade ▁by ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁was ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁coh ong ▁system ▁( or ▁the ▁k ung ▁hung ▁system ), ▁only ▁select ▁Chinese ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁allowed ▁to ▁trade ▁with ▁pre - screen ed ▁and ▁completely ▁un ar med ▁male ▁foreign ▁mer ch ants ▁on ▁a ▁river bank ▁outside ▁of ▁the ▁city ▁walls ▁of ▁Gu ang z hou ▁for ▁a ▁limited ▁time ▁during ▁a ▁designated ▁" tr ading ▁season ", ▁and ▁the ▁trade ▁conducted ▁during ▁these ▁" tr ading ▁seasons " ▁had ▁strict ▁quot as . ▁These ▁deal ings ▁were ▁super vised ▁by ▁cor rupt ▁government ▁officials ▁that ▁were ▁seeking ▁b rib es ▁from ▁the ▁parties ▁involved . ▁▁ ▁During ▁this ▁era ▁foreign ers ▁doing ▁business ▁in ▁China ▁risk ed ▁un predict able ▁fin es ▁im posed ▁on ▁them ▁by ▁cor rupt ▁government ▁officials , ▁enthus i astic ▁tort ure , ▁imprison ment ▁based ▁on ▁arbitrary ▁accus ations , ▁and ▁instant ▁death |
▁until ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 8 4 2 , ▁this ▁was ▁when ▁the ▁British ▁were ▁vict orious ▁in ▁the ▁First ▁O pi um ▁War . ▁The ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁was ▁forced ▁to ▁open ▁four ▁more ▁port ▁cities , ▁known ▁as ▁treat y ▁ports , ▁and ▁Common ▁Law ▁enc la ves ▁were ▁established ▁in ▁all ▁five ▁Chinese ▁treat y ▁port ▁cities ▁under ▁the ▁treat y . ▁▁ ▁As ▁the ▁pia oh ao ▁came ▁into ▁existence ▁during ▁this ▁period ▁of ▁x en oph ob ia , ▁they ▁were ▁an ▁independently ▁formed ▁Chinese ▁parallel ▁to ▁the ▁European ▁bank ing ▁system ▁created ▁by ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁and ▁because ▁trade ▁along ▁the ▁Chinese ▁coast lines ▁was ▁so ▁restricted ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁managed ▁to ▁form ▁international ▁trade ▁networks ▁across ▁different ▁routes . ▁ ▁Trade ▁with ▁the ▁Russian ▁Empire ▁▁ ▁During ▁its ▁history , ▁the ▁bank ing ▁industry ▁in ▁China ▁has ▁evol ved ▁parallel ▁to ▁that ▁of ▁the ▁western ▁world , ▁the ▁sudden ▁appearance ▁of ▁genu ine ▁banks ▁and ▁financial ▁companies ▁from ▁Europe ▁in ▁China ▁exposed ▁this . ▁It ▁is ▁sus pected ▁that ▁the ▁banks ▁created ▁by ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁might ▁have ▁actually ▁been ▁inspired ▁by ▁western ▁banks ▁due ▁to ▁their ▁trade ▁with ▁Russia . ▁As ▁the ▁Sil k ▁Road ▁had ▁become ▁completely ▁ch oked ▁off ▁by ▁the ▁time ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y , ▁and ▁its ▁government ▁had ▁the ▁Chinese ▁ports ▁basically ▁herm et ically ▁se aled ▁off ▁from ▁foreign ▁trade , |
▁only ▁a ▁small ▁amount ▁of ▁international ▁trade ▁through ▁the ▁G obi ▁desert ▁was ▁conducted ▁starting ▁in ▁Sh an xi . ▁The ▁Russian ▁Empire ▁was ▁eager ▁to ▁eng age ▁in ▁trade ▁with ▁the ▁Chinese , ▁every ▁year ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁would ▁transport ▁various ▁goods ▁such ▁as ▁sil k , ▁cloth , ▁tea , ▁sugar , ▁c igare tt es , ▁and ▁por cel ain ▁to ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁L anz hou ▁and ▁the ▁territory ▁of ▁X in ji ang , ▁as ▁well ▁as ▁through ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁Ky ak ht a ▁to ▁the ▁branches ▁of ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁in ▁far ▁away ▁cities ▁like ▁Moscow ▁and ▁the ▁Russian ▁capital ▁city ▁of ▁St . ▁Petersburg . ▁Chinese ▁tea ▁was ▁imported ▁primarily ▁in ▁the ▁form ▁of ▁he fty ▁hard - pack ed ▁tea ▁br icks ▁which ▁allowed ▁each ▁cam el ▁to ▁carry ▁large ▁quantities ▁in ▁a ▁more ▁compact ▁manner ▁and ▁were ▁sometimes ▁used ▁as ▁an ▁alternative ▁currency . ▁ ▁The ▁trade ▁routes ▁between ▁imperial ▁Russia ▁and ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁was ▁known ▁as ▁the ▁" Te a ▁Road " ▁and ▁following ▁the ▁signing ▁of ▁the ▁Ky ak ht a ▁Tre aty ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 7 2 7 ▁the ▁trad ing ▁posts ▁of ▁Ky ak ht a , ▁Z ul uh ait u , ▁and ▁N er chin sk ▁were ▁opened ▁to ▁trade ▁with ▁the ▁Chinese , ▁though ▁only ▁Ky ak ht a ▁ever ▁saw ▁any ▁significant ▁trade ▁and ▁basically ▁all ▁goods ▁from ▁and ▁to ▁China ▁went |
▁through ▁the ▁city . ▁Ky ak ht a ▁was ▁strateg ically ▁located ▁next ▁to ▁Out er ▁Mong olia . ▁The ▁Te a ▁Road ▁was ▁a ▁trade ▁route ▁extending ▁ 1 3 , 0 0 0 ▁kilom eters ▁through ▁land , ▁crossing ▁more ▁than ▁ 2 0 0 ▁cities ▁in ▁China ▁( including ▁Out er ▁Mong olia ), ▁and ▁Russia ▁with ▁its ▁influence ▁extending ▁beyond ▁these ▁countries . ▁▁ ▁Initial ly , ▁the ▁imperial ▁Russian ▁state ▁maintained ▁a ▁complete ▁mon opol y ▁on ▁the ▁luc r ative ▁trade ▁with ▁China , ▁further more ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁required ▁a ▁prior ▁prec lear ance ▁of ▁all ▁export ed ▁goods ▁in ▁its ▁capital ▁city ▁of ▁Be ij ing , ▁this ▁policy ▁initially ▁meant ▁that ▁trade ▁between ▁the ▁two ▁countries ▁was ▁minimal . ▁But ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 7 5 5 , ▁the ▁government ▁of ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y ▁disp ensed ▁with ▁prec lear ance . ▁Trade ▁saw ▁another ▁bo om ▁when ▁Catherine ▁the ▁Great ▁had ▁opened ▁up ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁Ky ak ht a ▁to ▁private ▁Russian ▁mer ch ants ▁in ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 7 6 2 . ▁By ▁the ▁mid - 1 8 0 0 s ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁s elling ▁long ▁Bo yar ▁car av ans ▁full ▁of ▁export ed ▁goods ▁that ▁head ed ▁to ▁St . ▁Petersburg ▁for ▁res ale ▁to ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁Europe ▁and ▁the ▁Amer icas . ▁The ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁the ▁dominant ▁Chinese ▁mer |
ch ants ▁operating ▁in ▁Ky ak ht a ▁and ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁Russia ▁along ▁the ▁Te a ▁Road . ▁Both ▁the ▁Rus si ans ▁and ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁benef itted ▁greatly ▁from ▁this ▁trade ▁until ▁the ▁Q ing ▁was ▁forced ▁to ▁open ▁up ▁several ▁of ▁its ▁port ▁cities ▁following ▁its ▁defeat ▁in ▁the ▁O pi um ▁Wars . ▁▁ ▁The ▁Sh an xi ▁province ▁itself ▁did ▁not ▁plant ▁tea ▁itself , ▁but ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁sold ▁Chinese ▁tea ▁around ▁the ▁world ▁through ▁the ▁route . ▁The ▁Te a ▁Road ▁route ▁along ▁which ▁the ▁old ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁the ▁major ▁force ▁behind ▁the ▁international ▁Chinese ▁tea ▁business ▁started ▁from ▁the ▁W uy i ▁Mountains ▁in ▁the ▁province ▁of ▁F uj ian ▁in ▁S out heast ▁China , ▁this ▁mountain ▁was ▁not ably ▁the ▁birth place ▁of ▁many ▁of ▁China ' s ▁ren owned ▁te as . ▁ ▁Possible ▁Russian ▁insp iration ▁for ▁the ▁pia oh ao ▁▁ ▁While ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁entered ▁Russia , ▁banks ▁in ▁imperial ▁Russia ▁took ▁depos its , ▁they ▁made ▁lo ans , ▁ex changed ▁different ▁curr encies , ▁and ▁let ▁mer ch ants ▁and ▁trad ers ▁transfer ▁funds ▁to ▁each ▁other , ▁though ▁they ▁primarily ▁only ▁made ▁lo ans ▁to ▁no blem en ▁they ▁fav oured . ▁Furthermore ▁the ▁banks ▁in ▁Russia ▁were ▁constantly ▁un stable ▁and ▁felt ▁high ▁pressure ▁to ▁l end ▁money ▁to ▁court ▁favour ites . ▁▁ ▁The ▁imperial ▁Russian |
▁capital ▁city ▁of ▁St . ▁Petersburg ▁was ▁the ▁western most ▁known ▁location ▁of ▁a ▁Sh an xi ▁merchant ▁operation , ▁further more ▁the ▁city ▁was ▁also ▁the ▁door way ▁of ▁Russia ▁to ▁the ▁rest ▁of ▁Europe . ▁Because ▁of ▁its ▁status , ▁St . ▁Petersburg ▁also ▁hous ed ▁many ▁branch ▁offices ▁of ▁Western ▁European ▁bank ing ▁and ▁financial ▁companies , ▁Thom p stone ▁in ▁ 2 0 0 4 ▁described ▁the ▁city ▁as ▁being ▁" a ▁' City ▁of ▁London ' ▁in ▁mini ature " ▁due ▁to ▁the ▁huge ▁influence ▁of ▁British ▁mer ch ants ▁and ▁their ▁banks ▁over ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁St . ▁Petersburg . ▁Rand all ▁Mor ck ▁and ▁F an ▁Yang , ▁in ▁their ▁ 2 0 1 0 ▁paper ▁" The ▁Sh an xi ▁B anks " ▁claimed ▁that ▁it ▁was ▁a ▁pla us ible ▁explanation ▁that ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁could ▁have ▁been ▁inspired ▁by ▁these ▁British ▁banks ▁to ▁create ▁the ▁pia oh ao . ▁They ▁hypoth es ised ▁that ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁merchant ▁Li ▁Da qu an , ▁who ▁while ▁running ▁the ▁X iy uch eng ▁dy ed ▁goods ▁company ' s ▁operations , ▁organized ▁the ▁silver ▁ship ments ▁between ▁the ▁city ▁of ▁T ian jin ▁and ▁the ▁province ▁of ▁Sh an xi . ▁The ▁goods ▁sh ipped ▁to ▁T ian jin ▁would ▁have ▁first ▁gone ▁through ▁Kal gan , ▁where ▁the ▁Russian ▁Ky ak ht a ▁car av ans ▁would ▁pass ▁beneath ▁the ▁Great ▁Wall . ▁They ▁proposed ▁that ▁Li ▁Da qu |

0 s ▁M ing ▁soldiers ▁re app ear ing ▁in ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁province ▁acting ▁as ▁private ▁security ▁to ▁the ▁region ' s ▁mer ch ants , ▁this ▁gave ▁the ▁mer ch ants ▁from ▁this ▁province ▁a ▁distinct ▁edge ▁under ▁w an ing ▁rule ▁of ▁law ▁during ▁the ▁transition ▁from ▁M ing ▁to ▁Q ing . ▁A ▁similar ▁hypothesis ▁propos es ▁that ▁hiding ▁ 1 6 4 0 s ▁M ing ▁soldiers ▁were ▁redirect ing ▁their ▁tal ents ▁to ▁commerce . ▁While ▁loc als ▁from ▁Sh an xi ▁were ▁odd ly ▁absent ▁from ▁the ▁top ▁rank ▁imperial ▁exam ▁records ▁during ▁the ▁Q ing ▁dynast y , ▁the ▁dynast y ' s ▁ 1 9 th - century ▁enthus ias m ▁for ▁the ▁services ▁of ▁the ▁pia oh ao ▁as pers es ▁this ▁hypothesis ▁somewhat . ▁ ▁The ▁most ▁pla us ible ▁explanation ▁of ▁the ▁financial ▁prom in ence ▁of ▁the ▁province ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁states ▁that ▁its ▁salt ▁works ▁at ▁X ie chi ▁Lake ▁fost ered ▁merc ant ile ▁activity ▁that ▁would ▁ultimately ▁need ▁banks . ▁A ▁state ▁salt ▁mon opol y ▁held ▁by ▁the ▁imperial ▁government ▁pers isted , ▁with ▁only ▁a ▁few ▁minor ▁inter ru ptions , ▁from ▁the ▁Han ▁dynast y ▁until ▁the ▁year ▁ 1 3 7 0 ▁during ▁the ▁second ▁year ▁of ▁the ▁M ing ▁dynast y . ▁In ▁ 1 3 7 0 ▁the ▁army ▁of ▁the ▁M ing ▁began ▁using ▁its ▁salt ▁rights , ▁known ▁as ▁y an ▁y in , ▁which ▁were ▁initially |
▁re de em able ▁only ▁at ▁the ▁X ie chi ▁Lake , ▁to ▁pay ▁for ▁transport ing ▁prov isions ▁to ▁Chinese ▁soldiers ▁station ed ▁on ▁the ▁Great ▁Wall . ▁As ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁were ▁handling ▁this ▁luc r ative ▁business ▁from ▁its ▁very ▁beg inn ings , ▁they ▁managed ▁to ▁get ▁a ▁piece ▁of ▁the ▁M ing ▁state ' s ▁mon opol y ▁and ▁the ▁imperial ▁government ▁quite ▁likely ▁n ett ed ▁more ▁reven ues ▁of ▁the ▁salt ▁mon opol y ▁because ▁of ▁higher ▁overall ▁efficiency . ▁This ▁policy ▁that ▁benef ited ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁remained ▁in ▁effect ▁long ▁enough ▁for ▁them ▁to ▁accum ulate ▁a ▁substantial ▁amount ▁of ▁wealth ▁for ▁themselves . ▁This ▁hypothesis ▁regarding ▁the ▁rise ▁of ▁the ▁Sh an xi ▁mer ch ants ▁also ▁acc ords ▁with ▁evidence ▁that ▁the ▁region ▁compr ising ▁the ▁current ▁Sh an xi ▁province ▁was ▁not ▁an ▁important ▁commercial ▁centre ▁until ▁the ▁reign ▁of ▁the ▁M ing ▁dynast y . ▁ ▁See ▁also ▁▁ ▁Sh an xi ▁ ▁Pia oh ao ▁ ▁Yan ▁X ish an ▁ ▁References ▁ ▁External ▁links ▁▁ ▁C CT V ▁document ary ▁ ▁Category : History ▁of ▁Sh an xi ▁Category : Mer ch ants ▁Category : E conom ic ▁history ▁of ▁China <0x0A> </s> ▁K won ▁T ong - hy ok ▁( ; ▁born ▁January ▁ 3 0 , ▁ 1 9 8 5 ) ▁is ▁a ▁North ▁Korean ▁sport ▁shoot er . ▁K won ▁represented ▁North ▁Korea ▁at ▁the ▁ |
