- "I know you don't like to be followed, but I don't want people to follow you, and I'm worried about your safety." Shi Xin apologized, paused and then said: "In the end, it's because my approach is a little inappropriate, I'm afraid that you will be unhappy if you know." ”
Cen Chi was stunned, and after being silent for a long time, he didn't mention this matter again, but said with a very serious expression: "As long as the materials are complete, this problem will be solved in the next one, and it will be limited to three days." ”
Giving your strength unreservedly is the most convincing reward.
"I know you can do it." Shi Xin's eyes were a little warm, "But if you really encounter difficulties, don't force yourself too much, and come back slowly." ”
"Hmm." Cen Chi set out the papers on the table with his hands, and after dividing all the papers into two stacks of blank and words, he said slowly: "Now I need to find a quiet place to stay, I can't chat with Shi Gongzi for the time being, I'm sorry." ”
"Then you're busy!" Shi Xin stood up with a smile and raised his arm in the direction of the door to make a "please" motion.
Cen Chi arched his hand towards Shi Xin, then rolled up the paper on the table and the pen and ink on the ground, and walked quickly towards the house.
Cen Chi hurriedly returned to the house, and almost knocked off the tray in the hand of Xiao Qiang, who was walking out.
Xiao Qiang said with some panic: "Mr. Cen, what's wrong with you?" ”
Cen Chi noticed the refreshments on the tray, and quickly remembered that this was what he had just told Xiao Qiang to do, so he paused and said: "I'm going back to the study, Shi Gongzi is also going back, you can just put the refreshments in the hall, if there's nothing to do, go back and rest." ”
"Oh." Xiao Qiang looked at the figure who had disappeared into the study, and was puzzled. However, she also saw what Cen Chi was holding in his hand. I can probably guess what he's going to be busy for, so I know very well that with my identity, I shouldn't ask too much about what to do.
After Cen Chi returned to the study, he casually put the stack of papers in his arms on the ground, put the pen and ink on the table, and finally pushed the desk to a corner of the study, and the floor of the study was suddenly empty.
He sat on the floor, using the floor as a table, quickly picked six pieces of paper from the paper bag and put them together, and then stared.
I don't know how long it took. Cen Chi's face had a new expression. A smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He moved his lips and said in a slight voice, "Senior brother, these are indeed your handiwork. ”
But soon, the smile on his lips disappeared again. Lie on your back on the ground. He sighed and said, "But what should I do?" Help you or help myself. It's embarrassing for me! ”
……
After Shi Yi returned to Dongfeng Tower. He went back to his room to rest. The reason why he rested early was that he was inconvenient to appear too often because the livelihood of Dongfeng Tower reached its peak in the first half of the night. And because he was preparing to move at night.
At the end of the day, Shi Yi, who had been sleeping lightly, suddenly woke up. He woke up from a sleep, but the whole Dongfeng Tower was the quietest at this time every day.
Guests can drink and have fun in Dongfeng Building, you can indulge the depression in your heart, shout and sing loudly, the girls in Dongfeng Building will be carefully accompanied, and it is inevitable to be taken advantage of a little bit of oil, but staying overnight is never allowed.
Halfway through, the guests were sent back by their own servants more than an hour ago, or sent by the guards of the Dongfeng Tower. In short, this kind of timely clearance regulations, Dongfeng Building has been implemented for several years, and all regular customers can understand and agree. There are pros and cons to this kind of regulation, but reasonable people who are not playthings can see from this kind of regulation that the advantages outweigh the disadvantages.
Shi Yi walked out of his room in the dark, and outside the house was the courtyard behind Dongfeng Building.
In order to prevent fires at night, the lights throughout the building have been extinguished. The bamboo building in the large pool in the backyard is not lit by the Oiran, but because it is hollowed out, the hanging light yarn and tassels gently ripple in the night breeze, and can also show a little bit of elegance in the moonlight.
At this time, Dongfeng Tower only has a permanent lamp at the gate and the back door, which is fixed to the gate by a solid metal lampshade, emitting a faint light.
For Shi Yi, it is better to have this little light. Pure moonlight is more conducive to his vision at night. Shi Yi took out a cow tendon rope slingshot from his arms, glanced at the ever-bright light at the back door, squeezed his eyebrows, and then turned, and shot out stones almost straight in one direction above his head.
The pebbles that shot out quickly fell back,
Then another stone fell, but behind this stone, there was a rope.
Seeing that the stone tied to the rope fell, Shi Yi did not immediately step forward to pick it up, but took a few steps back and shrank in the shadow of the corner.
After listening quietly for a moment, and making sure that no Wu Wei in the building had noticed it, he quickly dodged out. Untying the stone tied to one end of the rope and putting it into his arms along with the slingshot, Shi Yi turned into a snake along the vine, and climbed up with the rope against the relatively flat wall at the back of the Dongfeng Tower.
Climbing to the height of the third floor, Shi Yi rested for a moment on the branch tied to the other end of the rope. When his breath was even, he put the coiled rope into the bird's nest on the branch where there were no birds and no eggs, and he had just shot a hole with a slingshot, and then he gathered the strength of his legs, jumped up to the window sill on the third floor opposite, and slid down the house.
Although Shi Yi usually practiced it, this behavior of jumping out of the window was still very dangerous. So in fact, along with this time, he only skipped twice at this height.
On the third floor is the soft storage room of the Dongfeng Building, where there is no storage of food and supplies, and it is not used for business, but there are a lot of ledgers. However, what Shi Yi wanted to see was not the running accounts of these daily activities, but the old account books placed in the small attic on the top of the third floor, which few people knew.
Shi Yi only came to this place alone twice, and this place is actually not open to the public, and there are more or less bans on the people in the building. For this point, since Shi Yi entered here for the first time, accidentally found the small attic, and looked at a few old account books, he could somewhat understand some of the reasons.
If the first time was unintentional, the second time tonight I entered the small attic. Shi Yi went straight to the goal.
Squatting in the attic, Shi Yi quickly flipped through more than a dozen old account books. It's a pity that I didn't find a few words beyond the numbers like I did when I first came here.
When the paper book that had been left for too long was turned over again, in the narrow space of the attic, the musty fine dust churned, irritating Shi Yi's mouth and nose, making him want to sneeze. He put down the books, rubbed his nose, and waited for the dust in the attic to settle down a bit. Shi Yi scooped up the account book again. He suddenly noticed that the account book in his hand had an extra sharp corner of a piece of paper on the cover.
After a closer look, it was found that it was not the cutting and binding of the account book, but that the double-layer thickened cover of the account book had been cut open and put into a piece of paper in the interlayer. Over the years. The cover of the double-sealed account book is loose. In Shi Yi's rude rummaging just now. Scraps of paper fall out of the cover compartment.
Without hesitation, Shi Yi pulled out the piece of paper and spread it out on the palm of his hand.
The paper was not large, it should have been cut out of a large piece of white paper. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been hidden in the cover of the ledger, and no one would have noticed it for so long.
The small piece of paper was densely written with three paragraphs, the lines were thin, and the strokes were a little stiff, as if they were not written by a brush. However, when Shi Yi saw the font on the paper, the surprise in his eyes only appeared for a moment, and he was immediately overwhelmed by a strange look of joy, but soon, this joy was covered by a blank with loneliness.
After squatting in place like a dead stone for a long time, Shi Yi's gaze moved away from the time of payment in the lower right corner of the paper, and he let out a long sigh in a calm voice.
Collecting his mood, he looked back again.
……
Boss Jin's deeds are the first to shock a legend in the Kyoto business world, but the difference between him and Boss Yu is also this, everyone knows that Boss Jin's successful road to prosperity is an example of the emperor's Majesty Xià positive support, this matter is inevitably not as down-to-earth as Boss Yu's deeds of grassroots businessmen, more resonant and hopeful for ordinary businessmen.
Nowadays, there are gradually more grassroots rise events like Boss Yu, although in the final analysis, this is still the emperor's handiwork, but no one knows, these successful people have become a folk inspirational benchmark, attracting countless newcomers in the business world to excite.
Mo Ye is roughly one of these excited people, and she lives in the Song Mansion, and Ruan Luo is visible day and night, if she is willing to engage in business, it can be said that the opportunity is very good, and she has indeed been tempted. However, it takes a little talent to do anything, otherwise it will be very hard to hold on, and Mo Ye happens to regret that he has no talent for business. She has a good memory, but she is strangely not good at memorizing numbers, but prefers to memorize words.
Ruan Luo also explained this point, saying that he had seen some such examples in his early years in business school, most people have a bias to be good at, even if a person has not achieved results for the time being, but if he finds what he is good at and strives for it, it is already a kind of success with visible results.
Mo Ye agreed with Ruan Luo's words, and did not continue to dwell on business affairs that she was not good at, except for occasionally helping Ruan Luo take care of some things and walking in a few shops, most of her time was still used to practice martial arts and strengthen herself.
Mo Ye didn't know that she had overlooked, she was just not good at memorizing numbers, which doomed her to be bad at accounting work, but it didn't absolutely mean that she didn't have talent in business philosophy. In today's Kyoto, where small business flames are blooming everywhere, it is not difficult to hire a bookkeeper, and many schools have specially added abacus as a subject.
She didn't think so, because business was still a completely new industry to her. Ruan Luo knew this, but he didn't explain it to her in detail, and finally because there was a person who didn't want her to really grow up as a businesswoman, so he gave him some kind of hint.
Today, because of the delivery of guest invitations, Mo Ye came to the place where he made an appointment with the Yu housekeeper yesterday. Sitting in the main store of the Yu family teahouse, waiting for Boss Yu to respond, in the spare time of waiting, Mo Ye took a sip of the signature milk tea carefully prepared by the teahouse, felt the sweet and slightly astringent taste between his lips and teeth, and naturally remembered that this teahouse was just a dilapidated shop three years ago.
Because of Boss Yu's revitalization history, Mo Ye immediately remembered that his idea of joining the business world had been put on hold for more than a year.
Mo Ye, like the people next to him, didn't know that Ruan Luo would spend a lot of money to help Yu Yong because he was supported by the emperor. She didn't know that she was affected by Yu Yong's inspirational deeds a year ago. When she was also trying to do business, it was Ruan Luo's deliberate interference that caused her to hold the matter high, but in the end she just put it down gently.
She could only clearly see the great changes in the Yu family teahouse in front of her.
The main store is of great significance to the rest of the store, so after the revitalization of the family business, the results of the most attentive and costly renovation are also reflected in the main store. Ruan Luo's timely help must be a great credit to the Yu family, but if Yu Yong himself did not have a love for the tea ceremony, the Yu family's teahouse would not have developed so quickly. In many details, the main store reflects the painstaking experience accumulated by a person who loves tea art for most of his life.
The so-called one person attains the Tao, and the chicken and dog ascend to heaven. Three years ago, Mo Ye first met Yu Yong. Of the guys who followed Boss Yu, two of them have now been promoted to be the chief treasurer. Although Mo Ye never felt that she could now claim to be the great benefactor of the Yu family and enjoy a qiē in the main store of the Yu family's teahouse, she had just entered the store. Immediately greeted by the shopkeeper who had been promoted from the table-wiping guy. She was taken up to the second floor. The shopkeeper also arranged for her to be in a house with a window next to the street.
The tea art of the Yu family has always focused on the spirit of inheritance. Yu Yong taught the guys how to make tea and served tea, and at the same time, he also talked about some tea scriptures. The old teahouse has been in business for more than 20 years, during which many tea makers have been replaced. Most of the people left because the tea shop business was too poor and the wages were too thin, but the few guys who were willing to stay after years of ups and downs were not only to earn a living, but also more or less because they had a respect for the rest in their hearts and wanted to continue to do it with him.
The tea ceremony itself is a craft that needs to be inherited. As soon as people leave, the tea will be cold, and the tea should be kept warm, and no one should wait next to the teapot. And if you want to keep the quality of tea, you must have a year of new tea for old tea. In the meantime, nothing can be done without one link.
Long-term companionship with sharp weapons, people's eyes can also be sharpened, and a career can raise a person's temperament. And serving tea for a long time, comprehending feelings in the tea scripture will also have a certain impact on a person's heart. Understanding the inheritance of tea is the reason why the two guys refused to abandon Boss Yu, and it is precisely because of this cooperative feeling that Boss Yu will promote these two guys to an important position in the teahouse after the revitalization of the family business.
Good tea needs to be brewed in a good spring, and it needs to be accommodated in a good teapot, and finally when it comes to drinking, it also needs a set of teacups with the right fit to enhance the taste, which is something that needs to go all the way.
The surplus is reused with the buddy he does not give up, and there is a return of affection; The guys didn't abandon the boss when he was in decline, so naturally they also had a lot of affection. Sitting in such a teahouse where the boss and his buddies run a restaurant, Mo Ye, a somewhat special customer, naturally received favor without any suspense.
Three years ago, in the tea shed under the heavy rain on the seaside, the guy kindly took out a spare tablecloth, although it was a little shabby and undignified, but the kindness of the guy was so clean that there was no trace of decorative color. Now that guy has become the head shopkeeper of the main store of the Yu family's teahouse, but when he faced Mo Ye, his young face often showed the same silly smile as before.
"Shopkeeper Xu, I want you to make tea by yourself, the little woman can't stand it." Looking at Xu Er, the shopkeeper who was sitting across the table and was concentrating on making tea seriously, Mo Ye smiled slightly, and indeed felt that his arrival was too annoying to others.
Although he is now the chief shopkeeper who is responsible for the decision-making of the daily affairs of the entire teahouse, Xu Erbiao, who has selected the crushed sugar and dried milk cubes at the moment, and is making tea with a hand stove, has the same temperament as the young man in the past, with a calm expression and quick and meticulous movements.
"Miss Mo, you can't say that." Xu Er raised his eyes and smiled very simply, "Since I became the shopkeeper, I don't need to do many things myself, and I suddenly found that the fun in the process of making tea and mixing tea has gradually decreased." But as a shopkeeper, sometimes you have to put your position high, otherwise others will still treat you as a trotter, which will affect the persuasion of some major events in the teahouse...... So, Miss Mo can come here, but it is to give the next opportunity to show the tea art, if it rests on others, even if my hands itch, I have to endure it. ”
Mo Ye listened to his long list of almost complaining words, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion in his heart, and couldn't help but say: "In this way, being the shopkeeper seems to be a lot easier than before, but in fact, there are more troubles?" ”
"In the past, when I was running the hall, I made tea in the backyard and served tea in the front hall, which was just a loss of strength, and it was hard during the day. A good night's sleep will be restored. Now I do some laborious things all day long, and sometimes I have insomnia at night, which is not the same as before. Having said this, Xu Er paused slightly, then his eyes lit up, he looked at Mo Ye and said: "The big boss just let Zai Xia take care of this shop, and I already feel a little hurt in Xia, I really don't know how your Ruan Gongzi can manage so many businesses, is there any trick?" ”
Mo Ye heard another meaning in Xu Er's words, but she didn't resist it. As long as there are no accounts and certain exclusive commercial process information involved. Much of the business world's experience can be said without being overly confidential. What's more, with the friendship between Ruan Luo and Yu Yong now, if there is anything that can help, even if he is sitting here at the moment, it is likely that he will be directly allowed.
Just thinking about it. Mo Ye realized that his understanding of business experience was poor. Maybe it's since I gave up going into business a year ago. I didn't pay attention to business anymore, maybe ...... Is it because Ruan Luo's experience in business is simple?
Just use these four words to explain to Xu Er, who sincerely mixes tea for himself in front of him, which seems to be a bit perfunctory. But Mo Ye really couldn't think of anything else to talk about.
After thinking about it, he was silent for a long time, and finally Mo Ye just said in a somewhat difficult tone: "I can't hide it, Boss Yu's matter has caused a sensation in the entire Kyoto business community, and I don't know how many young people have been inspired to engage in business, and I have also been encouraged to want to engage in business." However, there are some things that look glorious, but you can only know how difficult they are when you do them yourself, and I have no talent for business, which is also the evaluation that my brother came to after observing what I was doing. If a person like me, with mediocre business qualifications, teaches others the way of doing business, I am afraid that the correct truth will have to be misinterpreted by me, but I dare not affect the shopkeeper Xu in this way. ”
What Mo Ye said actually couldn't answer the key point of the doubt that Xu Er asked, but it didn't mean that she was lying. And there is a wonderful point in this statement, presumably in the future, Xu Er will not consider using Mo Ye's convenience to inquire about Ruan Luo's business experience.
Sure enough, as soon as the last syllable of Mo Ye's words fell, she saw Xu Er sigh and didn't say anything.
Mo Ye pondered for a moment and then said, "Maybe you can ask your big boss directly for advice." Although my brother has been in business for many years, his affairs are quite complicated and there is no special project. Compared with Boss Yu, who has been running a teahouse wholeheartedly for decades, maybe my brother's experience is not applicable to you. ”
She put herself in Xu Er's shoes before she added this sentence, but as soon as she finished speaking, she realized that she was talking nonsense.
Since Xu Er was picked up by Yu Yong, he must have been taught by Yu Yong before he officially became the head of the teahouse. What is the difference between saying these things now and saying some perfunctory words that don't hurt?
Mo Ye's worries in hindsight do work with sensitive and narrow-minded people, but obviously Xu Er is not such a person, otherwise it is likely that he would not have personally entertained Mo Ye at this time.
Xu Er is just a person who is a little honest and grateful, and in layman's terms, he is just an ordinary person, and he doesn't have so many twists and turns in his heart. If he hadn't met Yu Yong, and he was lucky enough to follow Yu Yong's career and go up in life, he might have just been a shop errand guy in this life.
So he didn't feel anything else in Mo Ye's words, he only tasted her sincerity, but this made the inferiority complex and lack of confidence in his heart rise a little more.
Mo Ye could observe that Xu Erqing, who was silent, gradually fell a little, and was hesitating about what else he could say, when he saw Xu Er taking a step ahead of her, and suddenly said, "I agree with Miss Mo's words very much." Doing business is really a career that requires a test of talent, and I listened to the meaning of your words just now, and this was also said by Ruan Gongzi. This point of view is very sobering. ”
After a slight pause, he continued: "Although the big boss's business was weak in his early years, he was also a teahouse business that his ancestors had been doing for generations, and it was guided by inheritance. Not to mention Ruan Gongzi, he is the nephew of Master Song, and in the early years, Master Song was the leading figure among the Beijing merchants. The characters who grew up in such a merchant environment are not comparable to those of a poor peasant like me. ”
Listening to the second half of Xu Er's words, Mo Ye was slightly stunned. She was about to say that Ruan Luo did not grow up in the Song family, but that she had traveled to Xiaoliang Guo's highest business school to learn business skills as a teenager, but these words moved to her mouth. was swallowed back by her again.
These are the past events that Ruan Luo rarely mentions verbally, and she has been with him for many years before she has some fragments to understand. At this time, although she really wanted to cheer up the honest new shopkeeper in front of her, Ruan Luo's past was brought out by her like this, and it was probably inappropriate.
After pondering, Mo Ye said slowly: "Having a certain talent does not mean that you can get results easily, and knowledge is from scratch. The Yuke Teahouse is the oldest long-established restaurant in Kyoto, but the founding ancestor of the Yuke Teahouse actually started from nothing, and has been accumulating year by year, and has experienced decades of ups and downs. It is the foundation of today's teahouse. The ancestors of the Yu family started from scratch. Master Song is too. ”
"Maybe my heart flew too high all of a sudden. A person like me, who has no experience or knowledge foundation, was originally born in the hall, has not learned everything thoroughly, and has not been tested very much, but now he can achieve the position of the head of the store. This is the great fortune of life. I really shouldn't want to get close to Ruan Gongzi so quickly. "For Mo Ye's words. Xu Er nodded in agreement, and had some feelings of his own, "I should be content." ”
Mo Ye thought about it for a while and said with a smile: "I heard what my righteous brother said. The current emperor attaches great importance to the commercial construction of Kyoto, and with the support of the imperial court standing so closely, this industry must have developed greatly in the future. The rise of the Yujia teahouse in such an environment will attract the attention of His Majesty, and the Yujia teahouse will continue to grow in the future, but you are so busy. Shopkeeper Xu shouldn't be satisfied so quickly, Boss Yu is likely to promote you again in the future. ”
Xu Er's eyes lit up, and at the same time, he was a little apprehensive, and said slowly: "This is really amazing news. I am only about to be 14 years old, in fact, many Beijing businessmen have been able to feel His Majesty's deep plan, but they have not been able to hold the letter, now with the words brought out by Ruan Gongzi, everyone can rest assured to roll up their sleeves and work hard. ”
"The reassuring pill must be put in your heart before you can be reassured." Xu Er's words were not only excited, but also made Mo Ye realize a problem that she had almost ignored just now, she smiled faintly, and added: "Actually, everyone knows that this is the meaning of His Majesty, as for who brought this out, there is no need to investigate." ”
Xu Er understood and knew that Mo Ye was reminding him not to make a noise about this matter. After all, the emperor's will needs to represent the authority of the national policy, and before it is officially announced, this kind of talk is not suitable to be passed around as neighborhood gossip, and if it is distorted and understood, it will not be good, and it may affect the implementation of the plan by some people in power.
Xu Er said seriously: "Miss Mo, don't worry, I understand what you mean." ”
After that, he picked up the clay pot on the small hand stove next to the table, poured the boiled milk tea into the enamel cup in front of Mo Ye, the cup was steaming, and the Yashe was suddenly full of milky fragrance, and carried a little fresh air of tea.
Nowadays, it is in the middle of spring, the temperature is suitable during the day, the grass and trees outside the window are growing, full of vitality, the spring breeze is slightly cool, but it does not invade the skin and bones, in this scene, there is a cup of warm and sweet milk tea in the hand, just smell it, it has made people feel physically and mentally moisturized.
However, at this time, in the cup that Mo Ye was holding, it was already the third cup of milk tea that had been boiled by Xu Ertuo, and it was a little greasy......
"It's the third cup." Mo Ye hesitated for a moment, but finally let go of the hand holding the teacup, and only pushed the teacup forward with his right hand and two fingers, "Drink again, I'm getting fat." ”
Xu Er smiled embarrassedly when he heard this: "I almost forgot about it." ”
Xu Er's words fell, and Mo Ye was about to ask him if Boss Yu had too many affairs, or if she should make an appointment for tomorrow, but at this moment, a heavy footstep sounded on the street downstairs outside the window, temporarily breaking the thoughts of the two and attracting the two to look out of the window together.
Kyoto's soldiers are so well equipped that the sound of footsteps can be heard on the streets every once in a short time, and the residents of the city have long been accustomed to it. The days of peace lasted for more than a decade, and the walking phalanx, which had caused people to feel chills in the wars of the early years, was now as common as lampposts standing tall on the streets, and in the eyes of most people, they were somewhat similar to moving landscapes.
Although these patrol soldiers were sturdy and fully armed, and most of them had tempered their personal martial arts cultivation in the Commander's Mansion, they would not embarrass ordinary people and were highly disciplined. Even if anyone is caught committing a crime on the street, unless the most vicious people try to resist stubbornly, those who are caught will not be beaten lightly, but will only be escorted to Kyoto Prefecture by these city guards according to the usual rules, and if they are wrongly arrested, innocent people will naturally be released.
In the face of such a group of soldiers. Of course, people who do their duty have a peaceful mind, and perhaps they will also increase their sense of security. These soldiers were all soldiers who defended Kyoto, and no matter how iron their wrists were, no matter how sharp their weapons were, their striking power was the same.
However, the group of soldiers who walked through the block today made the people in the city feel strange, and even the faint people would be shocked by the formation when they saw such a long procession, and their hearts were faintly timid.
The full group of city guards patrolling the streets is thirty people, with occasional slight increases and decreases. Among the soldiers was divided into fifteen sword-wielding soldiers. Fifteen spearmen. The long and short weapons are in harmony with each other, and if there is a need to deploy a round-up formation, the formation is designed so that 30 people can withstand the attack of 100 people.
The number of people system was something that Mo Ye had learned from his master when he first entered Kyoto, and as for how the martial arts of these thirty people were combined. This seems to be something that the inhabitants of the city know about it now.
But at this moment, Mo Ye looked out the window. It is obvious to see. The group of soldiers running through the street downstairs didn't seem to be the usual neighborhood guards on a daily basis. They were no longer in groups of thirty, and at first glance there should be about two hundred in this group. And the weapons they held straight up, not tilted by the running, were all the same tasselless spears.
Even if Mo Ye hadn't personally been to the training ground to feel it, she could vaguely feel that this soldier seemed to be from a combat unit. In fact, most of the criminals that the city guards mainly deal with come from ordinary families, but the soldiers of the combat troops on the battlefield face soldiers who are the same as themselves, or even more fierce, and the appearance and temperament of the soldiers polished by these two environments will be a little different.
But now watching this squad of soldiers pass downstairs, so that Mo Ye and the other residents of the city can feel that the strange place is actually very straightforward, that is, the weapons in their hands have changed, and the clothes and armor are slightly different from the city guards, and they are running, so naturally there is a rush atmosphere that spreads on the street.
When the neat and thunderous footsteps passed over the street, Mo Ye and Xu Er withdrew their gazes and glanced at each other, both of them seeing a puzzled look in each other's gaze.
Before the two of them could speak, there was a sound of footsteps at the top of the staircase, but a guy who ran the hall came up and reported a few things to Xu Er, who was now the chief shopkeeper.
After getting the decision given by Xu Er, the guy who ran the hall saw that the shopkeeper was greeting the distinguished guests, and he didn't dare to bother too much and was ready to leave. But as soon as he walked to the door, he couldn't help but glance back and asked, "Shopkeeper, what's the matter with the soldier passing downstairs?" It's scary to look at. ”
In fact, it was not only the young man who looked at the marching steps downstairs and felt frightened, Xu Er was already a little surprised in his heart at this time, but now that he was the owner of a shop, he had to show a composure that matched his identity. With a dry cough, he said: "The exchange of soldiers in the inner and outer cities, the affairs of the military department, we ordinary people, don't worry about it." ”
The young man nodded again and again, seeing that Xu Er was a little impatient, he didn't dare to say anything more, and hurriedly went downstairs to work.
After the guy left, Xu Er gathered his energy and looked at Mo Ye, and asked with a little expectation in his eyes, "Does Miss Mo know what happened?" ”
"You ask me?" Mo Ye was surprised, and after thinking about it, she vaguely realized something, and said, "You're not suspicious of what happened in the palace, right?" ”
"It looks a little like that." Xu Er's eyes showed a hesitant look, "Don't you know either?" ”
The current emperor is not as arrogant and cold as the emperors of the old dynasties, and although it is indeed necessary to pay attention to the cultivation of love and cherishment in the imperial majesty, in front of the things worth doing and the characters worth seeing, His Majesty's actions are often informal. Perhaps this is because he relied on his own strength to step by step to ascend to the throne, rather than being immersed in the royal family as soon as he was born, and he believed in speaking with strength more than following the rules and regulations in an old-fashioned manner. And for people who have enough strength to influence the country, rules and etiquette are most of the time the product of mood.
The current emperor is not a hot-tempered man.
When needed, His Majesty can also talk to others like an ordinary person, or only judge others without relying on imperial power.
As for the team of Beijing merchants carefully built by His Majesty, and for those local merchants who have made meritorious contributions to the revitalization of imperial commerce, even if they do not have a meritorious name on their heads, His Majesty attaches equal importance to them and often meets and talks with them.
The main content of the conversation, of course, revolves around how to stimulate the business affairs of the imperial capital and even the capital of the whole country, and finally send more taxes to the national treasury, but occasionally in his spare time, he will still say some other gossip.
Now the brightest new star in the Beijing business team is Ruan Luo, and Ruan Luo has been summoned by His Majesty in Kyoto for three years after inheriting his uncle's business, no one knows what the two have talked about, but it can give a hint to those who are watching this matter: His Majesty is obviously very optimistic about this offspring! ――
(To be continued......)
