"Smack!"

To attract the idea of customers, Wu An took out a bulk firecracker, lit one and threw it out, and after a few seconds, the firecracker made a sound, and the people who came and went looked back and found the stall selling firecrackers here.

"Shopkeeper, how do you sell this?"

Wu An replied with a smile, "Guest, you see, there are firecrackers of one of the specifications, this is a bulk single-ring firecracker, a ten-ten coin." ”

"As much as you want."

Hearing Wu An's introduction, the hearts of the people who came to buy firecrackers were half cold, why?

This firecracker is simply incredibly expensive, ten coins per ring, that's really expensive.

Wu An continued, "You see, there are 100 rings, 200 rings and 300 rings here, and a silver coin has 100 rings. Which one does the guest officer need! ”

Passer-by: "Isn't it cheaper, you're too expensive." ”

Wu An explained, "There's no way, the price set by the city lord, I'll just do it." ”

Chen Zijian set the price of firecrackers so high, because gunpowder is a controlled product, and he doesn't want the people to buy more, and the various costs of firecrackers add up, just one coin is enough.

Set the firecracker to ten coins at a time, even if someone is worried about making trouble, buying gunpowder is a lot of silver coins, so take precautions in advance.

The characteristics of gunpowder can explode, not Chen Zijian alone, the Chinese people have long known the explosiveness of gunpowder, and they don't need Chen Zijian's guidance.

Now that the price of firecrackers is so high, the person who wants to disassemble the firecrackers and collect gunpowder will spend a lot of money.

Passers-by heard the price set by the city lord, so they had to give up the plan to bargain, if they were private people to do business, bargaining was normal, but the price set by Chen Zijian himself had no reason to bargain.

In a word, if you like to buy, you can buy it.

The price of a silver coin, with Zhangjiacheng's income level, is acceptable, after all, there is a chance once a year, if the neighbors next door set off firecrackers, and their own hair did not sound, do you know how to lose face!

Even though the price of firecrackers is more expensive, soon, there are no more people coming and going in front of the stalls.

In the past, I wanted to light firecrackers for the New Year, but I didn't have that money to spare, but now that I have money, I will be looked down upon by others if I pick the door.

Zhang Laosi came over in silk clothes, and others made way for him, who made him look like a rich man who was a rich man.

Although everyone scolds the rich man behind his back, but in front of others, who dares to speak, the reason for not daring is simple, people are rich and capricious, you are not convinced?

Zhang Laosi heard that there were firecrackers to buy here, so he came to take a look, in the past, when Zhangjia Village was in the past, only the only place in the village advocated that firecrackers could be set off during the New Year, and who in the village was not envious.

Now Zhang Laosi's confidence is more than that of the landlord who looks down on him, so he naturally wants to regain face.

Wu An knows Zhang Laosi, because this person is a man of the hour in Zhangjiacheng, of course, it is counted among ordinary people, and Chen Zijian's high-level people are not counted.

Zhang Laosi followed Chen Zijian in the early days, and after half a year, I heard that the accumulated silver coins exceeded 10,000.

It can be said that in Zhangjiacheng, Zhang Laosi is an out-and-out rich man.

Many people envy Zhang Laosi's experience and did things for Chen Zijian early, and now that Zhangjiacheng has developed, the people who helped Chen Zijian do things in the early days have a good income.

Wu An: "Hehe, isn't this Lord Zhang, why do you have time to come." ”

A sentence of Lord Zhang made Zhang Laosi feel overjoyed, of course, this Lord Zhang, others complimented him, and there was nothing else.

Zhang Laosi has a small belly, and he doesn't have to worry about eating and drinking during this time, which is different from the days when he had a meal and didn't have a meal half a year ago, and then he had a belly.

"Do you have 5,000 firecrackers here, I want five."

The rich man opened his mouth and calmed the people around him who bought firecrackers, they were still thinking about asking for a hundred, or two hundred firecrackers, and Zhang Laosi directly opened his mouth to buy five for five thousand. To be rich is to be capricious.

Wu An's smile remained unchanged, "Haha, Lord Zhang, this is difficult, let me tell you, the factory still produces 10,000 firecrackers, but those are all taken away by the city lord, you go to other regions to find the same, the firecrackers released are up to 300 firecrackers, and you can't buy too many at one time." ”

10,000 firecrackers, the privilege of the high-level of Zhangjiacheng, ordinary people can always use firecrackers below 300.

Zhang Laosi, "Then forget it, I'll go to the chief to see if I can buy it." With that, he turned and left.

Everyone was stunned by Zhang Laosi's pretend, and went to the chief to ask for 10,000 firecrackers, so Zhang Laosi can be familiar with the city lord.

People who are familiar with Chen Zijian are generally called Chen Zijian's chief, and the people who have not seen Chen Zijian will call Chen Zijian's later city lord by name.

can go to Chen Zijian to do something, what a lot of face it will take.

Although Zhang Laosi didn't buy a single firecracker, no one said that he was poor or anything.

On the other side, Li Tieshan pulled the 10,000 firecrackers brought back by Chen Zijian and distributed them to several army commanders.

Li Shi, Niu Sheng, Zhang Youde, and Zhang San don't need to buy firecrackers at all, and Chen Zijian has already prepared them for them.

Passing by the gate of Li Shi's small courtyard, let the subordinates carry the firecrackers in, and Li Tieshan prepared to go to the next house.

Li Shi heard that something good was in hand, and came out to pull Li Tieshan.

"Big man, is there anything superfluous, give me a little more, it's a big deal to invite you to the teahouse for a meal next time, it's better to have five meals." What do you think! ”

Li Tieshan, a North Korean, could understand some words, and shook his head, "No, the chief is assigned, if you want to find the chief, I will send it." ”

Li Xian: "It's boring, forget it, let's go, let's go, busy with you." ”

If Li Shi came to Chen Zijian to ask for firecrackers, those guys would definitely follow behind, and trouble Chen Zijian for this little thing, forget it.

Li Tieshan left, and a subordinate came over and said, "Master, the commander said that it will be before eight o'clock tonight, but the No. 1 teahouse, the chief will set up a banquet there to invite the high-level to dinner."

Unlike Chen Zijian, Li Shi's small courtyard found a lot of servants to work, Li Shi did not receive equal education from later generations, and in his courtyard, the people who worked for him naturally called Li Shi according to the Ming tradition.

In fact, except for Chen Zijian's family, even Zhang Youde, several other army commanders all call them that, and Chen Zijian's No. 1 courtyard is special, uh, in fact, Chen Zijian himself is special.

Li Xian smiled and said, "Hehe, maybe there will be red envelopes to receive tonight, by the way, you go and prepare gifts, why don't you give gifts when the chief treats you." ”

"Yes, sir, the little one will do it."

During the day, everyone in Zhangjiacheng is busy with the last day, and tomorrow is the new year.

The people who can come to Zhangjiacheng. If you are lucky, at least you don't have to worry about eating and drinking here, and you will have entertainment to watch at night.

In other places in the Ming Dynasty, during the same New Year, whether the family can take out a little meat has to be calculated.

In the evening, the entire teahouse in the No. 1 area was occupied by Chen Zijian, and outsiders were blocked outside without being invited.

The security check at the teahouse was raised to the highest level, with 2,000 volunteers and 5,000 police officers checking on the incoming personnel.

The teahouse held the highest banquet in Zhangjiacheng, Chen Zijian's family, and the high-level officials of Zhangjiacheng came with their families, if there were any problems, it would be a big deal.

The lights illuminate the entire hall on the first floor, and more than 100 tables of various seafood have been placed.

Li Jiajun makes people do things carefully, while directing people to see where there are still problems. At Chen Zijian's banquet tonight, he didn't dare to slack off.

Li Jiajun is Li Zhuer's eldest brother, and Chen Zijian asked him to open this teahouse.

Li Jiajun was waiting at the door, the people who came over tonight were all big shots, although he was Chen Zijian's eldest brother, but he didn't dare to show off in front of these people.

The status of people and Chen Zijian's real knife and real gun, if he Li Jiajun didn't have a relationship with Li Zhu'er, who would know him.

One after another, people came in with a family, and Li Jiajun treated them politely.

Don't look at Li Jiajun's lack of status in Zhangjiacheng, but he has a relationship with Chen Zijian, who doesn't give him some face, and the two sides give each other face, which is a compliment to each other.

The invited people came in one after another, more than eighty percent of them belonged to the officers of the Volunteer Army, one became Zhang Youde's management clerk, and the rest were ordinary people who had made certain contributions to Zhangjiacheng, and Zhang Laosi was one of them.

It was about the same time, and Chen Zijian finally took a few women to appear, and even if Li Zhu'er, who was pregnant, still let the maid help him out.

Chen Zijian appeared, and everyone in the hall stood up and applauded.

The men and women in the hall sat down separately, Chen Zijian saw on the high platform, the scene was mostly Yingying Yanyan, the reason for this situation was that every man who came, with more than two wives and concubines, not to mention others, Chen Zijian himself also brought six women.

Li Shi and Niu Sheng have more of those guys, resulting in women accounting for more than half of the seats at a glance.

His subordinates marry a few women, of course Chen Zijian has no kung fu to manage it, and he can't control it himself.

Chen Zijian signaled, and the scene quickly quieted down.

"Everyone, I wish you a good new year."

Chen Zijian raised his glass and motioned to everyone below, regardless of men, women and children at the scene, learning Chen Zijian to raise a glass.

"I can stand here today, everyone is sitting below, it is all your credit, Zhangjiacheng will be better and better in the future, and life will be even better."

"In the new year, I will form five new legions, and the brothers of the volunteers remember that they want to be promoted and make a fortune."

Throwing out a big gift bag, the eyes of all the volunteer officers who came over were bright, most of them were people who didn't know much about big characters, and they said they didn't understand what they said about the country's righteousness and national unity.

But if you get promoted and make a fortune, everyone will understand.

Chen Zijian: "Okay, tonight is Chinese New Year's Eve, cheers everyone, I wish us better and better." ”

Chen Zijian got off the stage and sat down, and a group of beauties on the stage danced on the stage to cheer up tonight's banquet.

Zhang Laosi's family sat in a corner, but he didn't have any complaints, the one who could come in to the banquet was not a high-level person in Zhangjiacheng, and he was even more powerful than him.

Elsewhere you can have shelves for rich people, here, forget it.

Looking at the more than 20 stunning women on the stage, dancing gracefully in the elegant sound of musical instruments, Zhang Laosi's heart was hot, but unfortunately he couldn't touch it. I want to talk about "The Thief at the End of the Ming Dynasty" with more like-minded people, pay attention to "excellent reading literature" on WeChat, talk about life, and find a confidant~
