This jstars is the jstars in the jstars courtyard in Qixian County, Shanxi Province. In his early years, he started his business in Qi, Shanxi Province, and later developed into a large and medium-sized commercial port in China. He set up business offices in Beijing, Tianjin, Northeast China, Yangtze River Valley and other cities and towns. At the end of the Qing Dynasty, the Qiao family owned more than 200 banks, money houses, pawn shops and grain shops all over the country, with a working capital of more than 7 million yuan-10 million yuan, plus real estate such as land and real estate, with assets of tens of millions.

To put it simply, Qiao's family was a real economy and commercial bank, which did well in the Qing Dynasty.

At that time, Eight-Nation Alliance invaded Beijing in the name of suppressing the Boxer Rebellion. In the successive defeats of the Qing army, Empress Dowager Cixi had to flee with a group of members of the royal family in order to avoid becoming a prisoner, and then they encountered unprecedented difficulties. In the first few days of her escape, Cixi and her party hardly met many people. This also caused even Cixi to have to endure the pain of hunger. At this time, Cixi felt like a lost dog for the first time, which was extremely pitiful.

Cixi arrived in Shanxi and was received by the Qiao family, a big businessman in Shanxi. Just arrived at jstars, jstars hands first presented three hundred and two thousand pieces of silver. In addition, the Qiao family also tried their best to meet the needs of Cixi and her party and let Cixi live a normal life in the palace again. This also left a deep impression on the Qiao family in the mind of Cixi. When Cixi left, the Qiao family took out 65,438+12,000 silver as travelling expenses.

Cixi returned to Beijing. After solving the problem with the western powers, Cixi began to commend the meritorious ministers on the way to escape. Especially the Qiao family in Shanxi, Cixi stressed that she must try her best to meet their demands. After receiving the imperial edict, the Qiao family made no mention of the money given, only hoping that Cixi could personally give them a plaque with "Tianen Library".

First of all, it shows that "Fu Zhong Lang Yi" is flattering Cixi. The so-called "blessed paradise library" is actually a praise for Cixi. The word "Tianshuguan" originally refers to the place where the Emperor of Heaven collects books in myth, and later it is extended to Xanadu. The woman who has always been the master of the world is regarded as the master of the paradise library. The connection of "Blessing the Library in Heaven" means that under the influence of Cixi, the Qiao family will be blessed and illuminated by future generations.

Of course, businessmen must have good relations with the government in order to make big money, which not only makes Cixi very happy, but also enhances the prestige of the Qiao family. As a result, the business of jstars is getting bigger and bigger, and it is getting better and better.
