The rise and fall of Dashengkui is a history of the rise and fall of border trade from the middle to late Qing Dynasty to the end. During the Qing-Zhun wars that began in the 27th year of Kangxi and lasted for more than 70 years and experienced the Kangxi, Yongzong and Qianlong dynasties, the Ming army often had to enter the Mongolian plateau to fight.
In this way, the supply of armaments for the army will be very complicated. In order to completely solve this problem, Shunzhi issued an edict allowing Han businessmen to participate in the army trade: "There must be no shortage of people for the army trade,...allow them to trade."
At that time, it was up to the Mongols. Regional trade may be dominated by barter exchange. For Han merchants, the profits are considerable, so the businessmen known as "traveling Mongolian merchants" have rapidly developed and expanded.
The founders of Dashengkui happened to be one of the businessmen in Mongolia who carried out trade in the army. At first, Dashengkui was not called Dashengkui.
It was a trademark established by three businessmen from Shanxi Province: Wang Xiangqing, Shi Gaoxiao, and Zhang Jie. It was named Jishengtang. There is a semicolon between Guihua City and Khovd.
What Guihua City and Dashengkui carried can be said to be a history of border trade in the Qing Dynasty. The reason why they turned from prosperity to decline was due to their own reasons as well as external reasons. From the perspective of business methods, the prosperity of businessmen in Mongolia followed the development trend of the Qing Dynasty, and they themselves benefited from the methods of the Qing government departments.
