Chapter 1031: Desheng Building
Mao Jingwen gave an order, and after Cheng Zuo took the lead in coordinating the merits of the ten Beijing masters, he went straight to the Desheng Building in the city.
The promulgation of the smoking ban directly led to the closure of a large number of tobacco houses lined with streets, and at present, the Li family and the Xiao family have completely occupied the right to operate large tobacco in Fucheng. In Fucheng, only these two can open a smoke house openly.
Originally, after the smoking ban was promulgated, no one in the city was allowed to open a smoking house. It's a pity that Yan Zhenghai still didn't realize that those smokers who were deeply poisoned by the big smoke, and they suddenly didn't have the pain after the big smoke. This led to a lot of confusion among the authors of the initial large number of addictions.
Once these people become addicted to smoking, they are like crazy people, and under the instigation of well-intentioned people, they cause great harm to the government. They are all ordinary people, and it is obviously inappropriate to use these people under knife. In the end, Yan Zhenghai had no choice but to let the Li family and the Xiao family open a very small number of tobacco houses in Fucheng for these smokers who were poisoned by the big smoke.
Desheng Building was born under such circumstances, this Desheng Building is not only the largest smoke house in the entire Fucheng now, but also the common industry of the Li family and the Xiao family. It is said that there is also a figure of the government and the imperial court in the back, so this Desheng Building has never suffered any blow since its opening.
If you want to smoke big cigarettes in Tak Sang Building, you must prove that you are an old smoker, and Tak Sang House will never give those new smokers a big smoker. And the entire prefecture is the same, they strictly abide by this rule, and if anyone dares to break the rules, the consequences are absolutely unbearable for them.
Yan Zhenghai also used this method to temporarily block the limelight of the smoke raging in Fucheng. And those old smokers have a place to smoke big cigarettes, and they no longer get up to make trouble, and the boiling smoke storm in Fucheng has temporarily subsided.
Two carriages stopped in front of the imposing gate of Desheng Building, where more than a dozen shopkeepers were already waiting early in the morning. The two people who are the leaders are the owners of this smoke house, Li Yi and Xiao Bin.
With a smile on their faces, the two waited at the gate early, and the business of the tobacco house had not yet opened. Today, it is rare to see the appearance of the two shopkeepers, and curious passers-by soon surrounded the gate of Tak Sang Building.
Looking at the onlookers on the inner and outer three floors, Cheng Zuo frowned immediately as soon as he got out of the carriage. He has informed Li Yi and Xiao Bin since last night that they should keep a low profile, after all, the identities of these people in the emperor cannot be leaked, let alone accidents.
But now it seems that Li Yi and Xiao Bin are close to each other, and there is indeed no problem with the welcoming scene, which is no different from usual. And the mistake is that these two damn guys actually greeted them in person.
With a black face, Cheng Zuo strode up to the two of them and asked coldly: "What the hell is going on, why are there so many passers-by watching." Give you ten breaths of time to deal with this matter, otherwise you will be in good hands. ”
Li Yi and Xiao Bin, who were full of joy, realized that something was wrong, and the two did not dare to complain, and immediately shouted loudly at the Desheng Building. Then, a group of men in black clothes with sticks in hand rushed out. The fierce god drove away the onlookers-by, and in the face of these rough guys, the onlookers immediately scattered and fled.
Almost in the blink of an eye, the onlookers on the inner and outer three floors had disappeared.
Li Yi and Xiao Bin breathed a sigh of relief, cautiously walked in front of Cheng Zuo, and confessed their guilt.
Cheng Zuo's face was still dark, and after waving his hand to let the two retreat, he turned around and asked Mao Jingwen and them to get off the carriage and enter the Desheng Building on their own.
Standing aside, watching a dozen or so young people with extraordinary bearing enter the Desheng Building, Li Yi and Xiao Bin were slightly excited in their hearts. What the identities of these people were, they knew last night.
"Big brother, this opportunity is rare, we can't miss it!" Li Yi leaned into Xiao Bin's ear and muttered quietly.
"After the emperor and a group of meritorious deeds, the princes and nobles in the capital are indeed the objects of our climbing. But these people are no better than those in the city, and we are not able to afford it. Li Yi, send someone as soon as possible to find out the details of these feats, and only then will you reap the rewards by prescribing the right medicine. Chaubin said deeply.
After the princes and nobles, these people all have deep backgrounds, and it is a great joy for both the Li family and the Xiao family to climb into a relationship. The days of real prosperity will also be in the near future.
"Big brother, please rest assured, the younger brother has arranged for someone to go down to find out the background of these people and their preferences. I believe that in a few days, we will have all the news we want. Li Yi said confidently.
After hearing this, Xiao Bin nodded with satisfaction: "Let's go, it's time for us to greet the guests." ”
The two didn't say anything more, took a few steps to chase after them, and followed Cheng Zuo's side, ready to saddle Mao Jingwen and them at any time.
Entering the Desheng Building, it is a huge hall, which is quite empty at a glance. Twenty or so log tables neatly fill the space of the hall, which is obviously a place for people to eat.
Xiao Bin knew well the purpose of Mao Jingwen's visit this time, so he immediately took a few steps forward and began to lead the way for everyone. Bypass the vestibule and head straight to the backyard.
Li Yi took the opportunity to explain to the people present: "Our Desheng Building is not just a smoke house, we have a place to eat and a place to stay. The first three floors are all serious business transactions, and the smoke house is set up in this backyard.
While speaking, everyone has come to the backyard, and the quiet environment gives people a sense of tranquility. Although the Tak Sang Building has not yet opened for business, the smoke house behind it is already full of customers.
Mao Jingwen had obviously been here, and he was quite familiar with it. Looking at the scrawny smokers passing by him, he just glanced at them with disgust.
But Chen Shaoyu and the others were not as calm as Mao Jingwen, they looked at the people who came and went in a trance, and they were as thin as firewood. Some of them are drifting when they walk, and some of them are starting to go crazy.
In short, in Chen Shaoyu's opinion, the people who come and go here seem to be normal except for those men who are armed with sticks and beaters.
With a face full of confusion, Chen Shaoyu took the lead in asking: "What's wrong with these people?" All of them look like something is wrong? ”
Mao Jingwen smiled secretly in his heart, but said with a serious face: "These people who look wrong when you look at them are all smokers." ”
Chen Shaoyu frowned, and did not rush to respond to Mao Jingwen, but looked at those smokers seriously again. However, Chen Jiahui asked: "No, in Jingshi, we are not uncommon to those who smoke big cigarettes." But I've never seen them like this? ”
