Qiao's family is the richest man in Shanxi. At that time, Cixi passed through Shanxi on her way to escape. Knowing that Cixi was coming to Shanxi, the Qiao family prepared a place for Cixi as a temporary palace. Cixi was very embarrassed when she fled, and sometimes she couldn't even eat, let alone live a luxurious life in the palace as before. However, after Cixi arrived at Qiao's home, Qiao's family prepared the best things for Cixi, which were not much worse than those in the palace, so that Cixi lived a palace life on the way to escape. Cixi was very satisfied. When Cixi left, Qiao's family took out 65438+ 2 million silver to honor Cixi, and Cixi was very grateful to Qiao's family.
Later, when Cixi returned to Beijing, thinking of the help of the Qiao family, she sent someone to the Qiao family in Shanxi and asked the messenger to agree to any request of the Qiao family. However, after the messenger arrived at the Qiao family, the Qiao family did not ask for money, but asked Cixi for a plaque that read "Tianen Library". Libraries in heaven generally refer to women as the mother of the world. In fact, this is also the Qiao family's curry favor with Cixi. Joe's family is a rich man, with plenty of money. However, the status of businessmen in ancient society was not high. They have a chance to win face in front of Cixi. How can they care about 100,000 taels of silver? Therefore, it will be more beneficial for Cixi to treat the Qiao family differently.
The Qing Dynasty was still under the rule of Cixi, and the Qiao family could please Cixi and be invincible in the Qing Dynasty. Then their jstars could also do business smoothly in all parts of the Qing Dynasty. In that case, the jstars will always have endless money to earn. That's why the jstars only want a plaque given to them by Cixi herself.
