Chapter 168: Receiving the Order, Collecting Grain
In August 1368, the Ming army captured Dadu and changed its name to Beiping, and in 1380, Zhu Di, the king of Yan, sealed the country in Beiping. In 1399, King Yan in Beiping in the name of "Qing Jun side" to raise troops, in 1402, captured Nanjing Zhu Di officially ascended the throne, changed the name of the year to Yongle, Beiping changed its name to Beijing, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, built Shun Tianfu, in 1409, Beijing established five government and six official system, called "line in", in the spring of 1417, began to build the capital of Beijing, Yongle nineteen years (1421) on the first day of the first month, Ming Chengzu officially announced that the capital moved from Nanjing to Beijing.
Time flies, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, as long as more than 200 years of precipitation, coupled with the Ming Chengzu ascended the throne, ordered the forced relocation of Nanjing's wealthy merchant population to Beijing, at this time Beijing's population has grown from more than 100,000 people at the beginning, has already grown to a super metropolis of millions of people.
As a newly emerging shop, Sihai Commercial Bank has a reputation for high quality and low price, but compared with the millions of people in Beijing, it is obviously still unable to meet the demand.
Since the siege of Jiannu, due to the notification of the government. All shops can only be open for one hour in the early morning every day, so that only the people of Dongcheng, where the Four Seas Trading House is located, can buy such high-quality and inexpensive goods. Whether there are any nobles who secretly move their hands on this, no one knows.
However, I only know that the trading houses that belong to Xungui can be said to have made a lot of money, and Fulin Commercial Bank is one of them.
The proprietor of the Fulin Commercial Bank is the industry of Xingwuhou, and there are four or five Fulin Commercial Banks in Beijing, which can provide it with an annual income of more than 100,000 taels of silver, and this Fulin Commercial Bank is Xu Xianchun's goal.
"Open the door, open the door".
A rough knock sounded outside the Fulin Trading House, and with the sound of swearing inside, a young man dressed as a young man in his 20s opened the door from the inside.
was still a rebellious young man, but when he saw the dense Jinyi guards outside the door, he was suddenly frightened like a mouse seeing a cat, and he didn't even dare to breathe.
There has always been a folk saying in the capital that it is better to provoke the king of Hades than to mess with Jinyiwei. Offending Hades is just a death, but offending Jinyiwei makes your life worse than death.
"You military masters don't know what it is appropriate to come here, can the small ones do it for you."
"You? You can't, call out the treasurer of your house."
The brocade guard who had knocked on the door earlier let out a sneer, his eyes showing disdain for the young man in front of him.
When the young man heard this, he immediately looked embarrassed.
"This military master, my shopkeeper has gone home, and I don't know when I will come back."
Yes, I went home, but I went back to the owner's house. After all, such a large formation of Jinyiwei had already alarmed the heads of various commercial houses to fidget. Naturally, they should go to their master's house and listen to their master's opinion.
"Go home, it's okay, we can wait".
Xu Xianchun, who was standing in the back, listened to the young man's words, and suddenly showed a smile as warm as the sunshine in spring, and there was a faint meaning in his words.
"Why don't you come in and sit down, it's just that this shop is too small to accommodate all the military masters."
As a young man, the most important thing is to observe words and looks, although he doesn't know the person who just spoke, but the clothes on his body obviously belong to the chief, and he hurriedly spoke.
"Doing what is right".
After Xu Xianchun finished speaking, he retreated.
In a remote alley a few hundred meters away from the Fulin Commercial Bank, a middle-aged man with a fat head and big ears stretched out his head and stared sneakily at the Jinyi guard in front of him, this person was Wei Jiaxing, the shopkeeper of the Fulin Commercial Bank.
It turned out that Wei Jiaxin went to collect grain and grass in the Four Seas Commercial Bank after getting Jinyiwei, so he hurriedly ran to his owner to report the news, but after returning home, he found that his owner was still in the court and did not come back.
Although the speaker was not there, but the son of the speaker was there, and after a little discussion, the two decided to dry Xu Xianchun first according to the original plan to see how they reacted.
Time passed minute by minute, after waiting for more than 10 minutes. Wei Jiaxing looked at the Jinyi Wei who was already sitting on the ground in the distance, and knew that if he didn't show up, this group of guys would definitely not leave.
Tidying up the clothes on his body, this is the natural way to walk towards the Fulin Merchant.
When it was almost there, he ran a few steps quickly, and there was a look of anxiety on his face, as if he didn't know what was happening in front of him.
"Stop, what someone".
And in the outermost Jinyi guard, he naturally saw that the fat-headed and big-eared guy in front of him was running towards him quickly, and everyone's spirit during the war was tense and hurriedly drew a knife, drinking the fat man in front of him.
"Alas, all the soldiers, don't do it, don't do it. The contemptible person is the shopkeeper of this trading house, and I don't know what the important thing is for you to come here."
A person's life is a play, and every day is to show the world his truest life. If people who don't know what is going on see Wei Jiaxing's appearance, they will definitely not think that he is acting.
No, the brocade guard who stopped Wei Jiaxing was confused by his appearance, and really thought that the fat man in front of him who was very anxious was really frightened by himself and others.
"If that's the case, let's go inside."
After receiving a prompt from the person next to him, the brocade guard waved his hand as if to drive away flies.
"You are the shopkeeper of the Fulin Firm."
Looking at Wei Jiaxing, who was looking back and having big ears in front of him, Xu Xianchun's smile was amiable, but in Wei Jiaxing's eyes, it was like a demon in hell waving to him.
"The little Wei Jiaxing is the shopkeeper of this firm, I don't know if this military master is ......."
Wei Jiaxing asked knowingly, and naturally knew who the person in front of him was, but everything had to be pretended not to know anything, so that it would be more real.
"Jinyi Wei is thrifty, Xu Xianchun".
Although Xu Xianchun knew Wei Jiaxing's thoughts, he didn't care.
"Ah, Xu Jian".
Wei Jiaxing couldn't help but be taken aback, then turned his head and scolded the young man standing behind him angrily.
"You bastard, why don't you invite Xu Jianenvoy to sit in the room, and even refuse to go out of the door."
How aggrieved is the young man, he silently raised his head and looked at Xu Xianchun, thinking that you should tell me something, you must know that I can invite you, but you don't come in yourself.
Xu Xianchun obviously didn't have the heart to mix things between them, not to mention the dog-eat-dog picture in front of him, which looked very funny.
After a burst of angry scolding, Wei Jiaxing obviously lost his anger, and when he turned his head, he was already full of smiles, not at all like before, with a fierce look and angry scolding the young man.
"Xu Jian, please inside."
Xu Xianchun smiled at it, and then took out the holy decree from his arms.
"Wei Jiaxing received the order".
Hearing this, Wei Jiaxing hurriedly knelt on the ground.
………
"Now that you have made a fortune, Your Majesty personally buys grain from you at a price higher than the market, as long as you do it with peace of mind, Your Majesty will surely have a heavy reward in the future."
Xu Xianchun, who finished reading the holy decree, then attacked Wei Jiaxing again. Seeing Wei Jiaxing's face getting darker and darker, there was an incomparable sense of pleasure in his heart.
