In reality, those who truly feared and resented Jin Feng were not the common people of Dangxiang, but rather the Dangxiang royal family and nobility. Before the Jinchuan Merchant Guild appeared, the Dangxiang people could only buy things like salt and cloth from small merchants.
These small merchants, wanting to transport goods from Dakang to Dangxiang, not only risked being robbed by bandits but also had to bribe officials on both sides, which invisibly increased the cost of goods. After the Jinchuan Merchant Guild settled in Dangxiang, with escorts responsible for transport, neither bandits nor officials dared to rob them, so the prices of various goods were far, far cheaper than those of small merchants.
The deputy general, being of ordinary tribal origin, was able to understand the Dangxiang people's attitude towards the Jinchuan Merchant Guild. That's why he had subconsciously spoken well of the Jinchuan Chamber of Commerce before.
