Zhu Cihong wanted to read a book for a while in the Zhongcui Palace, but he always felt upset, so he took Wu Zhong and Xu Sheng out of the Forbidden City and came to Beijing to wander around.

Zhu Cihong, accompanied by Xu Sheng and Wu Zhong, strolled through the city of Beijing, and his mood gradually improved.

The three of them turned around for a while, and then went to Dezhuang hot pot, and did not go to the private room, but found a relatively quiet place in the lobby and sat down, and did not disturb Wu Cheng, the steward of Dezhuang hot pot.

The three of them casually asked for a hot pot, and while listening to the chatter of the people around them, they ate it comfortably.

Most of the things talked about in Dezhuang hot pot are about the robbery of grain transportation, and at the same time, it is the problem of grain prices in Beijing, which has been greatly affected.

Zhu Cihong listened attentively, but his face was very calm, and he suddenly heard that someone said that there was a grain shop in Beijing, and he did not take the opportunity to raise the price of grain like other grain stores, but continued to sell grain according to the previous grain price as always.

It stands to reason that the grain in this grain store should be sold out quickly, but the owner of this grain store is also strange, not to sell at will, but to have a certain limit per person, and not to sell if you buy more.

Zhu Cihong's heart moved after hearing this, and he said in his heart, it is really rare that there are such businessmen who do not make a fortune in the country, Zhu Cihong said softly: "This grain shop is a little interesting, let's go and see who their owner is later." ”

After the three of them finished eating, they inquired about the location of this grain store, and then went to this store unhurriedly.

Zhu Cihong and the three of them just came to the vicinity of this grain shop, only to see that there was already a long queue in front of the grain shop, many people but orderly, he raised his eyes to look at the façade, only to see the words 'Zhangjia grain shop' written on the plaque.

Zhu Cihong beckoned to the crowd, and immediately a Jinyi guard's plainclothes walked up to him and bowed his head and ears.

Zhu Cihong told him to let Li Tingbiao check the details of this Zhang's grain shop, and the brocade guard immediately rushed away after receiving the order.

Not long after, Li Tingbiao came in person and told Zhu Cihong: "Your Highness, the owner of this Zhangjia grain shop is named Zhang Dabiao, a well-known Hui businessman, who has been doing business in the capital for more than ten years, mainly silk, tea, grain, and pawnshops. ”

Zhu Cihong was a little puzzled and said, "Zhang Dabiao? This name is so familiar, is it the rich businessman who was the first to come out and donate 5,000 taels at the Duanwang Mansion a few months ago? ”

Li Tingbiao replied: "Your Highness is wise, it is him!" ”

Zhu Cihong sighed with emotion after hearing this, and secretly said in his heart: "This Zhang Dabiao is not simple, the palace still underestimated him a little at the beginning, and thought that he was just an ordinary businessman who focused on profit....."

Just when Zhu Cihong was recalling the scene in Duanwang's Mansion that day, a group of people suddenly appeared in front of the Zhangjia grain shop, saying that they wanted to buy food.

The group of people went on a rampage and forced their way into the front of the line, causing the people behind to curse again and again.

The guy from Zhang's grain shop saw that it was not easy to mess with people, so he hurriedly came to greet him and said politely: "How much food do you need to buy?" ”

One of them said: "How much grain is in your Zhangjia grain store, Lao Tzu will want as much as he wants, it's all inclusive!" ”

The guy from Zhang's grain shop said politely: "A few masters, I really apologize, the shopkeeper of the small shop has already set a rule, each person is limited to twenty catties, and if there is more, it will not be sold, or I will weigh you twenty catties first........"

These dozen or so people looked like they were looking for trouble, and before the little guy finished speaking, he stepped forward and gave a big mouth, which made the little guy roll away, and his cheeks immediately swollen, and the corners of his mouth flowed blood.

One of them scolded: "What kind of thing are you, don't say it's your shopkeeper, even if Zhang Dabiao comes, what can you do, we will smash his Zhangjia grain shop too." ”

At this time, a man about thirty years old came out of the grain shop, and a few people came out behind him, and the man in the lead clasped his hands into fists and said: "These friends, here are the young owners of the Zhangjia grain store, just now the small shop guy offended a few people, Zhang Quan is here to accompany a few people." ”

This man named Zhang Quan spoke quite decently and politely, and he looked like a businessman.

Despite this, this group of people said: "Now all the grain shops in the capital are rising in price, but your Zhangjia grain shop is not rising, aren't you damn blocking everyone's financial road?" You Hui merchants have silver, and you don't want to earn this silver, but you can't stand in the way of our Jin merchants! ”

Zhang Quan smiled slightly after hearing this, and said: "It turns out that a few are peers, the reason why our Zhangjia grain shop can have today, is all by the word 'integrity', my father once said: The capital is now short of grain, although we Zhangjia grain shop dare not say that for the court to share worries, but also to do a modest effort for the people of the capital, as for what you do, our Zhangjia grain shop can't manage, but our Zhangjia grain shop will never earn this black money. ”

This man named Zhang Quan looked weak, but he spoke loudly, which immediately aroused applause from the surrounding people who bought grain, and applauded loudly.

Zhu Cihong also heard it in the back, and immediately had a good impression of this Zhang Quan and his father Zhang Dabiao, what is called theft is also a way, and businessmen must also have business ethics and righteousness.

This group of people who came to make trouble were annoyed and angry by him, and scolded at the time: "I see that your kid is impatient, the brothers beat him first, and then smashed the Zhangjia grain shop, see if he is still crazy!" ”

After finishing speaking, these people stepped forward to fight this Zhang Quan, Zhu Cihong saw this, and he really couldn't stand it, so he strode forward and said: "In broad daylight, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, Lang Lang Qiankun, do you still have the royal law?" The Zhang family talks about the word 'righteousness' in business, being in the rivers and lakes without forgetting the country's worries, seeing profits without forgetting righteousness, you don't think about your own mistakes, but you come here to make trouble, won't your conscience hurt? ”

Zhu Cihong was wearing a plain green robe at this time, giving people a sense of elegance, but he had a righteous face, and he didn't know which young master it was.

After hearing this, this group of people immediately laughed and said: "Which way are you, you have an extra breath with one nose and three eyes, and dare to get involved in Lao Tzu's affairs, brothers will fight me together." ”

Zhu Cihong frowned, and before he could speak, hundreds of plainclothes Donggong guards and brocade guards surrounded him and protected him strictly.

Xu Sheng rushed forward with more than a dozen Donggong guards, and beat down the dozen or so green skins after dividing them by two, and said in an urn voice: "You group of green skins, didn't you go out today without looking at the yellow calendar, and don't know if you should avoid traveling today?" ”

One of them lay on the ground and shouted, "Who are you?" Do you dare to fight with us in the capital? You kid can't find death! ”

Zhu Cihong took a step forward, shook the folding fan in his hand and said, pretending to be a little forced: "Young Master Ben is the leader of the capital, it doesn't matter if you are a merchant or a businessman, dare to shout in front of this young master, do you think your eight characters are too hard?" Beat Master Ben until he can't open his mouth! ”
