Chapter 129: Great Development and Background Music

In September of the sixth year of Jiajing, it had been more than eight months since Jiang Feng bought three sea vessels.

The weather gradually cooled down, and a convoy came over on the official road outside the capital, with two black-painted carriages in the middle, and more than a dozen knights followed behind. But the luxury of the carriage and the style of those knights are not even available to many official eunuchs. If you are a person who really knows how to do it, you will smile and say, although you are rich and noble, but unfortunately you still seem to be a nouveau riche.

At this time, it was already noon, and the number of people entering and leaving the capital was much smaller than in the morning. The soldiers at the door were also idle there, and several people squatted on the side gossiping and laughing, and saw the carriage procession in the distance with sharp eyes, and hurriedly greeted each other.

The carriage had not long been in front of the city gate, and as soon as the coachman collected the reins and waited for the soldiers to come forward to inspect it, a small flag led by him politely walked to the side of the carriage, and said with a smile:

"Zhao Ye came back early this time, things are going well."

When he spoke, his face was full of smiles, if he didn't know and saw it, he thought it was the noble official, this Xiaoqi was so flattering, but if it was a high-ranking official, he would have raised his whip and went straight in, and he would pay attention to the soldiers guarding the city. The curtain on the side of the carriage was lifted.

Holding some broken silver in one hand, the little flag who greeted him was obviously already cooked, and he smiled and went over to take the silver down, and the man in the carriage said with a smile:

"The brothers have also worked hard, take it to tea."

"Master Zhao, you are so generous every time, our brothers in the Terracotta Division are all looking forward to being on duty when you go out of the city and return to the city, but you have extra money to make."

After sneering, he turned back and shouted to his subordinates who were standing behind:

"What are you still doing in a daze, dodge quickly, and let Zhao Ye's convoy enter the city!"

The carriage convoy rumbled in from the city gate, and the little flag watched the carriage leave with a smile all the time, but a few subordinate soldiers came up behind him, and said with a smile:

"Big brother, this money can be eaten and drunk together, don't swallow it privately."

Xiaoqi turned around and scolded with a smile, still looking at the direction in which the carriage was leaving, and muttered in a low voice:

"The steward of a Huifeng Mansion is such a big style, how much money does this restaurant make?"

Zhao Xiucai, who was called Zhao Ye in the carriage, was the steward of Huifeng Building, after Jiang Feng bought three sea ships, the news brought by the fleet in the first month was not the violence he remembered, but the news that was attacked by the Japanese on the way to Yuegang, not to mention that one of the ships was robbed, and the goods were also gone.

This time it was a loss of nearly four thousand taels of silver, Wang Yuqi of the Mighty Marquis Mansion saw this scene, and went to the Jade Workshop to settle the accounts with Xia Cuiyu, and withdrew the silver from the fleet.

Xia Cuiyu thought that Jiang Feng would also come to refund the money, but she didn't expect that Jiang Feng sent Zhao Xiucai, who was full of reluctance, to actually send another five thousand taels of silver, saying that since he had lost one, he would just buy two more sea boats. Xia Cuiyu was surprised in her heart, but her own fleet does need silver money turnover now, the Ming Dynasty has always had such an idea, trading on the sea route is the most risky business in the world, no one wants to put silver in, this five thousand taels of silver is quite a bit of a snow charcoal, that is, to take it, but after receiving the silver, the guards of the jade gambling house have ten more Jiangfeng's family members, saying that they are guards. Xia Cuiyu also understood in her heart that she was looking at herself.

When Wang Yuqi heard the news, he naturally laughed at Jiang Feng for being a fool, Xu Tianbiao also came over to reprimand him in person, and when Jiang Feng went to say hello to Zhang Yong, the old man was there and said with a smile, young people should not spend money too unrestrained. Zhao Xiucai, Zhang Liang's close people also complained, even the commander of the Jinyi Guard, Lu Bing, also pretended to be concerned and said a few words.

When the fleet came back from the second voyage, there were not many people who knew the news, and Jiang Feng didn't want others to know too clearly, so did Xia Cuiyu's thoughts. However, a few people who knew the details, such as Zhao Xiucai and Zhang Liang and others, were dumbfounded, because they went to sea once and deducted the capital, and actually made a profit of 40,000 taels, but they were filled with raw silk and various utensils in Jiangnan, and they were transported to Japan for silver and copper and then pulled back, which was actually such a huge profit.

With this kind of income, Jiang Feng wants to keep his wealth open, and his subordinates and Xia Cuiyu of the Jade Workshop have all received the advice, so naturally they will not make a noise. Outsiders still thought that Jiang Feng's business had lost money, so it was silent later, and naturally no one continued to care.

The fleet sent someone over to deliver the silver money once in a month or half a month, Jiang Feng's act of sending charcoal in the snow made these maritime merchants have a good impression, and Jiang Feng is also a powerful Jinyi Wei Baihu in Beijing, such a person is naturally worth spending effort to make friends.

So there is no deduction in the money, and the four ships of Jiang Feng are also doing their best, this year the sea is a big gold mine, Kenben can't dig it all, and there are few people on the sea, and many Jiang Feng's subordinates, when they encounter pirates, they are also more powerful.

With such a large amount of money every month, Jiang Feng knew that if he was not careful, he would be greatly targeted, so he simply opened a restaurant "Linhai Building" in the Tianjin Guardhouse, and there were many rich officers and businessmen in the Tianjin Guardhouse.

However, the role of this restaurant is to let Zhao Xiucai go to the beach every month to collect money, which can be regarded as a cover, and it is more convenient to use the money villages all over the north and south of the river, but at present, Jiang Feng, who knows how easy it is to Jinyiwei and Dongchang, still does not dare.

With money, everything is naturally much more convenient, and a large mansion has also been purchased in Jiangfeng in Nancheng, but this mansion is where those iron dings trained on the fifth floor of the mountain live, and now the sea, gambling houses, Jiang Feng's personal entourage, and Tianjin's restaurants, there are some iron dings stationed, so the more than fifty people in the mansion are not conspicuous, and thousands of servants in the hands of wealthy merchants are ordinary.

Zhao Xiucai still remembers the first time he went to collect the money, it was still in the old man Li's carriage and horse shop hired a big cart, the iron Ding rode horses to follow, although it is also magnificent, compared to the current world, now this posture out, except for some details do not dare to overpass, but it is already majestic, there are also patrol soldiers and horses in the capital out of responsibility to hear the news, in the Tianjin guard and along the way, those officials do not dare to ask.

When he arrived at Huifeng Tower, it was already noon, Zhao Xiucai gathered the documents in his sleeves, and then opened the curtain and got off the carriage, and the dozen or so knights around him dismounted in unison, each of them was capable, and the officers of the Imperial Horse Supervisor were extremely well trained, and naturally they also got a lot of silver benefits.

At this time, Huifeng Lou has passed more than half a year, and the beginning of the year is very different, the back of those houses have been connected with the main building, invited the master craftsman to rebuild those houses, build pavilions and water pavilions, plant flowers and trees, as a seat.

In the summer and autumn seasons, a banquet is set up in the courtyard, and the fun of the small garden is enjoyed while drinking and feasting, which is really boundless.

And there is a strange rule in this Huifeng Building, if the guests want to call someone to sing in the Qinglou, it can only stand outside the private room or the courtyard, and it is impossible to accompany the wine, everyone feels weird at first, and then found out that when such a drinking banquet, the sound of singing outside is coming, adding more interest, doing this for three months, all the restaurants in the capital are so handled, and there is a other interesting thing, since it is played and sung outside the house, it is not a beautiful face, but the real ability to sing. Of course, the length is not up to the standard, and others will not sing, except for Huifeng Building, the rest of the rules are not so weird.

This custom is rising in Huifeng Lou again, if the famous prostitutes in Beijing who are both beautiful and artistic have not sung in Huifeng Lou, or the frequency of being sung is not high, then don't say that their singing skills are good, and this art of both color and art will not be mentioned, naturally it is not a name.

The bosses of the Qinglou in the capital can only come to beg Jiang Feng, otherwise if their own top brand is not even qualified to sing in Huifeng Building, then what kind of business is there, Jiang Feng did not expect that there would be such a situation, the bosses of each family came to the door with their own celebrity head cards to beg for favors, and it was also annoying to feast their eyes.

Jiang Feng came up with an idea, all the names on the table in Beijing are compiled a catalog book, so that the guests can choose by themselves, this book came out and it was a sensation, and it was called "Treasure of Tasting Flowers" by good deeds, saying that the beauty of the capital is all in the Huifeng Building catalog.

As a result, the current situation is not on this book.,You don't want to mix in the Qinglou in Beijing.,This book Huifeng Lou is updated once a month.,Every time you update the stewards of each Qinglou Chu Pavilion are the first to take them in your hands and copy them.,And then watch how much your own family is on the list.,How much is off the list.。

This up and down list is also simple, whoever orders more diners on the twelfth floor of Jingshi will be on the list, otherwise it will be off the list. Although this did not bring too many benefits to Jiang Feng, but indirectly brought a lot of business to the restaurant, Xu Quan once when he was drinking in Huifeng Building, he couldn't help but ask Jiang Feng, how did these strange ideas come about, and the answer he got was Jiang Feng's mysterious smile.

It's hard to say that this is the so-called flower list in modern martial arts, and the experience of singing in karaoke, the reason why you are not allowed to sing a cappella when you eat is just Jiang Feng's weirdness, and he prefers background music.
