Chapter 724: The Tea House

Rendian and Alum Tower, these two restaurants are the most famous restaurants in Tokyo, and it is even more coincidental that the two restaurants are not far from each other, only separated by one street, and these two restaurants are also century-old shops, and there are even two streets named after them, and at the intersection of the two streets, the north is Alum Tower, and the south is Rendian.

The two restaurants are built opposite each other, and they are naturally business rivals, but these two restaurants have their own characteristics, and no one can overwhelm anyone, and on the side of the two restaurants, it is a more lively place, that is, Beicheng tile, which is also one of the most lively tiles in the capital, and there are various performances such as sumo, shadow puppetry, miscellaneous plays, puppet shows, etc. every day.

Mr. Wang carried the birdcage to the north city tile, while walking the birds while watching the performance prepared by the fence, if he was interested, he would write it down, and then he would come to watch, speaking of which he was also a frequent visitor to the fence, and the little guys of each family saw him and greeted him one after another, and the lord Wang did not have the slightest shelf, and returned the salute with a smile.

However, although the king does not have a shelf, but the people of the entire Beicheng tile do not dare to underestimate him, because the ancestor of the king is Wang Quanbin, the founding general of the Great Song Dynasty, but the father of the king is not from the main house, and now it also belongs to the side branch of the Wang family, but this Wang master knows how to do business, although he is not out of office, but he runs several famous cloth villages, and usually has close contacts with the main house of the Wang family.

Although Master Wang is rich and powerful, he is naturally easy-going, and he usually likes to watch the show the most, whether it is a dignitary or a pawn, he can chat with each other, which is estimated to be one of the main reasons why his business is so big.

Mr. Wang is also in his fifties this year, and he has slowly handed over the family's business to a few sons to take care of, and his favorite thing is to carry a birdcage to Beicheng Wazi to listen to the play, and today is no exception, but it is still early, and the repertoire of each family is still only in preparation, and it will not open until almost noon.

Mr. Wang was not in a hurry to watch the play, but came to a tea shop with a birdcage, he liked to drink tea here after breakfast at home, and the little people in the store also knew him, and immediately greeted him when he came in, and then served tea and snacks according to Mr. Wang's habits, and the most important thing was a Da Song Daily, because they all knew that Mr. Wang liked to read the newspaper while drinking tea.

I saw that Mr. Wang pinched a piece of dim sum and teased the starling he raised, he was not in a hurry to drink tea and read the newspaper, but listened to the chatting of other people in the teahouse.

"Is it true that you said that Dingbei Hou embezzled the property of those Hu merchants?" I only heard someone at the table next to me ask his companion in a low voice, this matter is also the hottest thing in the capital recently, and even the imperial court has officials impeaching Li Zhang.

"How is it possible, as the Marquis of Dingbei, how much money do you want, how can you fall in love with Hu Shang's money?" At this time, I only heard one person reply, and it seemed that he didn't believe that Li Zhang would embezzle Hu Shang's money at all.

"This can be said, many people have seen the gold that day, there are more than a dozen cars, not to mention Dingbei Hou, I'm afraid even if the heavenly family sees it, they will be moved." Another retorted with some disagreement.

Referring to the gold scattered at the Bianhe Jiaomen a few days ago, these people talked louder, and even other people in the tea shop also participated, after all, this is the hottest topic recently, everyone wants to know where the dozen or so cars of gold came from, and what does it have to do with Li Zhang?

Listening to the discussions of those people in the tea shop, Master Wang tasted the tea very calmly, although he didn't know Li Zhang, but he knew that with Li Zhang's identity, it was impossible to embezzle Hu Shang's property, not to mention a dozen carts of gold, even if it was a mountain of gold piled up in front of Li Zhang, I am afraid that people would not be moved.

Of course, the origin of the gold is also very strange, because just like Li Zhang, no matter how rich he is, it is impossible to transport more than a dozen truckloads of gold to the market, after all, the money store is opened by Li Zhang, and he can transfer gold and silver from the money bank, which is also the place that Master Wang has always been unable to understand.

Recently, there are too many rumors about those gold, and Mr. Wang is no longer interested in listening to it for a while, so he picked up the daily newspaper on the table and read it, although the newspaper is now very popular, but there are still a few people who really buy newspapers, for example, he is the only one who reads the newspaper in the entire tea house, not that these people can't afford it, but many people are illiterate, so they can't read what is written on it when they buy the newspaper.

However, more and more people now know the importance of newspapers, especially the news in the newspaper can contain great opportunities, for which many people have begun to learn to read, anyway, newspapers are written in the vernacular, as long as they can read and understand.

Mr. Wang habitually started from the back of the newspaper, because the back would publish some interesting stories that happened in the capital, and even some legendary stories written by scholars, he was an idler, so he naturally liked to read these things, and after reading the back, he turned the newspaper over, but he was immediately attracted by a large headline on the front.

"Ten times the profit - Haimao is a gold mine waiting to be tapped!" Looking at this eye-catching main and subtitle, Master Wang couldn't help but read it out in a low voice, he is a businessman, and he is naturally very interested in making money, even if the family's business has been handed over to his son, but he is still in control of the general direction.

At that moment, Mr. Wang read the whole article, and the more he looked at it, the more shocked he became, the article was written very long, but in general it was a record of a maritime trade business, and the process was written in great detail, from the organization of the fleet, goods, to the South Seas to trade with the natives, as well as the various goods exchanged for it, etc., were recorded on it, which seemed to be extremely credible.

However, the most attractive thing is that at the end of the article, it is specifically pointed out that this business is cooperated by several large commercial houses, if it is an ordinary person, it may not be able to see anything, but Master Wang clearly knows who are behind these commercial houses.

"Dingbei Hou Mansion, Zhou Family, Cao Family" Lord Wang silently read out the nobles behind these big trading houses, this is not a secret, as long as the people in the shopping mall know, although the nobles and officials are inconvenient to do business, but they can control some business houses behind the scenes, on the surface these business houses seem to have nothing to do with them, but in fact they are their industry.

"I see, that's how the gold came from!" Master Wang suddenly slapped the table and stood up and said loudly, which also made the other people in the tea shop turn their heads to look at him, all with surprise.
