Chapter 54: The Crisis of Closing the Door (I)

The agreed time to meet Gao Yongchun Yushi was two days later, and there was nothing to do before, Fan Hongdao moved the idea of going to the silk shop for sightseeing, and Yang Chaofeng asked Wang Chuancai to lead the shopkeeper.

After that, Yang Chaofeng resigned first, leaving only Fan Hongdao and Wang Chuancai. When it comes to friendship, Fan Hongdao is more familiar with the shopkeeper Wang, and when no one else is present, he speaks more casually.

"Congratulations to the shopkeeper Wang, congratulations to the shopkeeper of the king, you have got what you want, do you want nothing else in this life?" Fan Hongdao said half-teasing and half-happy.

Shopkeeper Wang has not fully adapted to the new identity of "Shopkeeper of Silk Shop", and his heart is quite complicated.

This matter is said to be related to Fan Hongdao, but in fact, Fan Hongdao probably did not deliberately help him get this position subjectively, probably in Fan Hongdao's eyes, he didn't look down on the level of "shopkeeper" at all.

It is said that it has nothing to do with Fan Hongdao, the last shopkeeper Li was taken down, but Fan Hongdao was guilty of hypocrisy, forcing Yang Chaofeng to express himself and had to remove the shopkeeper Li, and then he had his own chance.

No matter what, Fan Xiucai messed up the situation in the Yang family, and always gave him a chance to make his dreams come true. Shopkeeper Wang pressed his mind and took Fan Hongdao to the silk shop.

Yang's silk shop is also located on Chongwenmen Outer Street, not far from the Rugui inn, the place occupied can be called a golden treasure, Yang Chaofeng still has a little vision in this regard. 【ㄨ】

The façade of the three-bay room is not small in scale. According to the shopkeeper Wang, the front is the storefront, and the back is the warehouse, which operates both wholesale and retail, which is in line with the commercial characteristics outside the Chongwen Gate.

This area is the material distribution center of the capital, where a steady stream of goods from the north and south are gathered and distributed, and most of the merchants who set up shops here are mainly wholesale.

Originally, in the Chongwenmen business district, this was an ordinary shop, but in Fan Hongdao's eyes, it was very kind, probably because of 10% of the shares.

If it was placed a hundred years ago, even Fan Hongdao had to despise himself, at that time, the fashion was still thick, advocating righteousness and ignoring profit, and the literati were ashamed to talk about profit. It is not enough for a scholar to be complacent for such a small share.

But now the times are different, and the concept of righteousness and benefit has gradually evolved with the trend of the times. In the context of the overall socio-economic prosperity, the atmosphere is gradually becoming extravagant, and the reading people are inevitably affected.

Today's readers are not ashamed to talk about profit, and even take the initiative to pursue "profit". You don't see, even the great master of the literary world, Wang Shizhen, has made a lot of money in recent years by writing congratulatory inscriptions to people;

There is also the former first assistant Zhang Siwei, who was born in Jin businessmen and never shied away from his family's business. Such examples are numerous and abound, and they are a reflection of the entire social atmosphere, and the term Confucian merchant has become popular.

Fan Hongdao not only looked at the Yang family's silk shop, but also walked around the surrounding area and experienced the charm of the prosperous business district of ancient China.

Then it was time to eat, so Fan Hongdao returned to the Yang family's silk shop and looked for the king's shopkeeper to eat. When you are shy in your pocket, you can save it.

But he saw that several officials were blocking the door of the shop, and the shopkeeper Wang was standing inside, arguing with the officials. Fan Hongdao walked over, separated the crowd and went in, and asked the shopkeeper Wang, "What's going on?"

Before the shopkeeper Wang could answer, he heard a servant say, "It turned out to be Fan Xiucai, do you want to take care of this idle matter?"

Fan Hongdao turned his head to look, and the person who spoke was a black strong servant, looking at him with a straight smile. Then he asked quietly, "Who are you?"

The black Zhuang servant laughed a few times and said mockingly: "It's a shame that Fan Friend is still a scholar, is he so forgetful?"

In fact, Fan Hongdao had already recognized it. At the beginning of the county government in Daxing County, after Yang Laoshi betrayed himself, it was this black strong official who personally escorted himself to the Qin County Cheng Judgment Hall in order to curry favor with Qin County Cheng, causing him to be almost retaliated against by Qin County Cheng.

I didn't expect to meet it again here and now, but Fan Hongdao still pretended not to know him, and responded very meanly: "You are just a public lackey, a lowly minion, do you really think you have any face that can make others recognize you?"

I think you might as well tattoo words on your face, anyone with a surname or even a name is written on your face, and the mark of Daxing County is engraved, and no matter where you go, someone can recognize you. Or engrave the origin of the father and mother, the effect is better. ”

Hei Zhuang is also the head of the squad in the county government, and he was immediately so angry that one Buddha was born and the other Buddha ascended to heaven, this Fan Xiucai really didn't know how to write the word death! A servant in the back pulled the sleeve of the squad leader and said in a low voice: "The business is important." ”

The black Zhuang servant shouted at the king's shopkeeper: "Don't talk nonsense, your house, the government will take it back, watch it as soon as possible!"

Fan Hongdao was taken aback, how could there be such a thing? Could it be that he had just become a shareholder, and the store was about to close before he had eaten a penny of dividends?

"What the hell is going on?" Fan Hongdao asked the shopkeeper Wang in a low voice, and the shopkeeper Wang explained to Fan Hongdao in detail.

Things have to start from the layout of the capital, when Emperor Yongle built the capital, the scope is only the current inner city. However, with the change of the times, the south of the city also grew naturally, and gradually formed the current outer city, and the outer city wall was added during the Jiajing period.

The outer city, especially outside Chongwenmen, has become a large commercial center due to geographical factors, especially in the south, where goods are continuously sent here along the canal for distribution.

At the beginning, it was also a chaotic place, and the government planned to build tens of thousands of houses in order to facilitate the management (collection) of taxes (taxes), and then rented them to merchants, which is the origin of the layout of today's commercial area outside Chongwenmen. However, over the years, most of these leases have also become permanent leases, and the rents are paid to the government in the form of door money.

Today, these officials came to the door, but they claimed that the county government wanted to take back the house of the Yang family's silk shop, how could the king's shopkeeper agree?

Although Hei Zhuang didn't know the relationship between Fan Hongdao and Shopkeeper Wang, he was happy to see that Fan Hongdao was involved, so he didn't stop Shopkeeper Wang from explaining to Fan Hongdao.

Seeing that the two of them were almost done, Hei Zhuang shouted again: "Your arms can't twist your thighs, this house was built by the government after all, I advise you to hand over the house honestly, otherwise you will know the methods of the government!"

The shopkeeper Wang defended: "Although it is said to be an official residence, but the lease period has not yet expired, why should it be taken back? This is not in accordance with the rules at all!"

The onlookers nodded frequently when they heard the words, and most of the merchants here were sympathetic to the words of the shopkeeper Wang. What they are most afraid of when doing business is the nonsense of the elite class who do not follow the rules.

Fan Hongdao thought deeper, and always felt that this matter was not so simple, so he asked: "You must have a reason for acting like this, what is the reason!"

The black Zhuang official had no fear, and he didn't mind dragging Fan Hongdao into the water, and the very insidious general said: "What kind of character do you really think you are?
