The small shop was crowded, and the shouts of scolding, begging for mercy, and waving arms everywhere made passers-by outside the door cast surprised glances.

There is no way, there are too many second-class dealers who come to buy them every day, but now no one dares to be overbearing in this shop, the reason is very simple, the four big characters on the plaque of "Ying Xingyang Sugar" are inscribed by Wang Shizhen, the eldest son of the governor of Zhejiang.

Wang Shizhen is already famous for his literary talent, and his father is a powerful frontier minister, as soon as this plaque came out, the ruffians and hooligans around the shop were swept away.

"Sold out, sold out!" Zhang San howled at the top of his throat, hung up a sold-out sign, and then desperately closed the door, and there was a sigh outside.

Qian Yuan, who was comfortably lying on a rattan chair in the backyard, listened to it and said with a smile: "The supply exceeds demand." ”

"Isn't there still in the storeroom?" Zhang Juzheng, who has often come over to join in the fun recently, asked curiously.

The horse steward who passed by was covered in sweat, and he interjected with a grin, "Keep it, it's even crazier to rob outside." ”

The people of the Ming Dynasty did not necessarily understand the theory of hunger marketing, but they dared to put it into practice, and in a country dominated by a small-scale peasant economy, the merchants of the southeast coast did not lack courage and wisdom.

Qian Yuan got up and changed the position of the rattan chair to avoid the dazzling sunlight, and collapsed comfortably, muttering to himself: "It's really calm." ”

Not only is it calm, but now it is simply a ball of harmony!

Although Qian Yuan still doesn't know why Wang Shizhen and Zhang Juzheng have such an attitude towards him, the fact is that Wang Shizhen wrote the plaque before going north to Beijing, which is almost Qian Yuan's talisman in Zhejiang Province.

As for Zhang Juzheng, he ran over after lunch every day and didn't leave until dinner...... Qian Yuan seriously suspected that this guy was here to eat, because Qian Yuan would cook in person as long as he had the conditions.

In his previous life, Qian Yuan was a foodie, and he was running around all the year round, cooking at every opportunity, and exercising good cooking skills.

So now there is a harmonious atmosphere around the Qian Mansion, but to Qian Yuan's surprise, the entire Hangzhou City is a harmonious atmosphere, and the entire Zhejiang Province except for Taizhou is also a harmonious atmosphere.

Ningbo's maritime trade is still booming, and maritime merchants are still making public appearances in Shaoxing, Hangzhou, and Suzhou, and Wang Chen, the governor of Zhejiang, who has been in office for more than half a year and has been impeached and suppressed by the imperial history of the DPRK and China, has recently done only two things.

First, the book saved Tang Kekuan, the deputy general soldier of Zhejiang, who was imprisoned for failing to resist the Japanese.

Second, he severely reprimanded the Taizhou prefect, who was anxious because of the continuous unrest.

In addition, Wang Chen did not criticize the trade ports of the Zhoushan Islands, did not arrest any maritime merchants who showed up in various cities, and even remained indifferent to the ban on the sea in public, and did not refuse the red envelopes stuffed by some maritime merchants through various means.

The maritime merchants trembled and began to try to continue trading, and the whole province relaxed after tension...... Qian Yuan squinted his eyes and thought, Wang Chen wanted to play yin, but how could the Wufeng boat owner in Zhoushan be so naïve?

There are overlaps in many historical events, such as this is an example, Wang Jiangjing's victory under the command of Zhang Jing and Li Tianchong gave Qian Yuan an obvious hint, Wang Chen is waiting for someone, waiting for a special army.

In the middle and late Ming Dynasty, the part that actually had combat effectiveness in addition to the border army was the armed forces of the ethnic minorities in the southwest, almost every time there was a rebellion in the central, southern and eastern parts of the Ming Dynasty, it was necessary to mobilize the armed forces of ethnic minorities such as the wolf army from the southwest, and later the white pole soldiers led by Qin Liangyu even went north and died in the northeast.

Therefore, others were either nervous or still speculating, but Qian Yuan could easily judge that the Zhejiang soldiers were unusable, and Wang Chen was waiting for the wolf army to arrive before launching a thunderous attack, and the current harmony was just an illusion that he deliberately did.

Qian Yuan praised in his heart, Wang Chen was really yin, in order to maintain the illusion, he even rewarded the local Ming army, and regarded several middle-level generals of the Ming army as henchmen...... Among them is Zhang Siwei.

In Qian Yuan's impression, Wang Chen was not very famous in the history of the Ming Dynasty, and later generations knew that he was often because he was Wang Shizhen's father, and he was killed because he offended Yan Song, which is also a major reason why later generations speculated that Wang Shizhen was a Southeast Xiaoxiaosheng.

Glancing at Zhang Juzheng, who was basking in the sun with his eyes closed, Qian Yuan was very curious, although he was a jinshi in the same year, the relationship between Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen was not good in history, the latter was driven home by the former, but he didn't expect that the relationship was very close at this time, and it was also a father of the governor of Zhejiang.

The front shop was closed, and the back yard was a mess, with cashiers in the warehouse, sorting out accounts, and moving goods, all of which were miscellaneous, leaving only the corner for the two uncles to bask in the sun.

However, it soon became cloudy, and after a while the wind picked up, and the two large trees in the backyard swayed and rustled.

Qian Yuan sighed and looked up, "The sky was clear just now, but now the mountain rain is about to come, and the wind is full of buildings." ”

Zhang Juzheng glanced at the young man beside him, and wondered in his heart whether the other party's words were casual or heartfelt.

In Qian Yuan's view, Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen are the most outstanding figures of this era, one has been in charge of the world for more than ten years, and the other has dominated the literary world for more than ten years, but he is a small talent, and the gap between the three is too big, so it is difficult to understand why the other party is so tolerant to him.

But in the eyes of the other party, this seemingly ordinary Songjiang youth blooms with brilliance that cannot be ignored.

This brilliance comes from Qian Yuan's eloquent conversation in the face of the two Jinshi, from his confident gestures, and from his eyes that never dodge.

To put it simply, Qian Yuan, who came through the crossing, has enough psychological advantages, and on the premise of holding a large handful of Wang Bang in his hand, as long as he is fully prepared, he does not need to be afraid of anyone in this world.

Living and moving qi, nourishing and moving the body, the brilliance of Qian Yuan's body comes from his temperament.

It was his temperament that attracted Zhang Juzheng and Wang Shizhen.

Temperament is inaudible and intangible, but it really exists, and the so-called official authority and murderous spirit are nothing more than temperament.

And the shaping of temperament comes from experience, Qian Yuan's in-depth understanding of history in his previous life made him full of confidence, and the temperament he cultivated in the criminal police team made him speak and behave neatly without dragging his feet.

And after more than ten days of communication, Zhang Juzheng found that the young man in front of him was very much in line with his appetite...... How could it not be compliant, Qian Yuan was provoking what Zhang Juzheng was interested in.

What kind of clan, armaments, finance, official governance, taxation, etc., Qian Yuan almost recounted all the things that Zhang Juzheng did later, and Zhang Juzheng was full of excitement.

Qian Yuan even praised that "On Current Affairs" is comparable to Jia Yi's "Chen Zhengshi", this kind of rainbow fart can't even hold up a thick-skinned person like Zhang Juzheng!

But Qian Yuan was also a little unable to hold on, he didn't expect that the youth version of Zhang Juzheng was actually a talker, and now he doesn't make tea in the study but honeysuckle and monk fruit, but this is not useful.

"If the city tax can really be returned to the household department......" Zhang Ju was in a reverie, in fact, he also knew that it was impossible, just last month, Emperor Jiajing snatched 200,000 taels of silver from the Taicang warehouse under the jurisdiction of the household department, which is the famous "take Taicang silver from a piece of paper." ”

If the emperor doesn't rob the household, he can be considered a Mingjun, and he can still spit out the meat in his mouth to the household?

Qian Yuan only listened but didn't speak, listening to Zhang Juzheng chattering about what he had seen, heard, thought and felt in Beijing a few years ago, and his eyes flashed with a hint of pity.

No one knows better than Qian Yuan what kind of bad consequences fiscal imbalances will bring to the country, and Zhang Juzheng, who is also a pragmatist, also vaguely sees the darkness ahead.

A large amount of land was annexed, the agricultural tax became less and less year by year, the customs duty and salt tax gradually became the backbone, and the city tax that could have become the bulk became a fraction, and the civil officials of the Ming Dynasty insisted on hiding the wealth from the people.

The decline in fiscal revenue led to the Ming Dynasty's unique family system on the stage of history, and the imperial court was helpless about it, because they could not come up with enough silver taels to support the logistics of millions of border troops......

Qian Yuan did not intend to be a savior, in his opinion, the fall of the Ming Dynasty was almost inevitable, and besides, no matter how much he did, he would not be able to survive the fall of the Ming Dynasty.

He just wants to live well in this era.
