Chapter 174: A Big Dragon for You

In less than half a month, all the shops on this commercial street were withdrawn.

The proprietors of those shops also stopped eating in the midst of a wail, and now the whole street was posted everywhere not with the requisition notice of the Sixth Guard of the Brocade Clothes, but with the military documents stamped with the imperial seal, which was tantamount to a holy decree.

The holy decree cannot be violated, it is irresistible, and those people dare not argue with the imperial power no matter how big they are, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

There are also many people who come to ask for compensation, and they have to ask them to take out all the shop sales contracts since the Hongwu period, and they can't do it without one, these people are crying and leaving, isn't it embarrassing, if you want to rob it, just say it directly.

Zuo Ling couldn't bear to see these people crying without tears, but besides, she couldn't help it.

Outsiders all say that besides, they are strict with their wives, only they know, and they can't reverse their made up their minds, only the old master Chen Musa can hold him.

She was originally worried that when she saw the documents of the Ministry of War, especially the emperor's imperial seal stamped on them, she felt stable, but she didn't expect the emperor to support such an absurd and domineering approach.

She didn't know what was going on, and she didn't want to inquire about it, so she wouldn't say anything anyway.

Seeing that the whole street was now hers, Zuo Ling wanted to dance on the street. There are still a few shops left in the Zuo family, and she doesn't want them anymore, there is no need at all, and she can't run them, and it is a huge challenge to be able to run this street well.

But she likes that her lifelong dream is to do business, make the biggest deal, and build a business empire. Now that the foundation has been laid for her, she is also energetic and devotes herself to it.

This street has also arranged twenty guards to guard at the entrances and exits, which is to suppress when something happens, and I believe that no one is idle to challenge the prestige of Jinyiwei and challenge him, an upstart of the dynasty.

Besides, he also got the note given to him by the emperor, but he had a wry smile on his face, and he would be rewarded with Ten Wangfu Street in the future, even if there was really that day, would he dare to ask for it? A courtier occupies ten royal palaces, what is it that is not a rebellion? The crime of trespassing alone was enough for him to raid his home.

This was specially found by Zhang Whale and given to him by himself, without being handed over by Zhou Dingcheng's hand, and telling him not to let people know for the time being. Of course, this is not the emperor's intention, but Zhang Jing's own thoughts, afraid that someone in the outside world will know, and it will be unfavorable, and many people will attack the emperor with this.

"You little bastard, stop messing around, the emperor asked you to stop and stop, long live the lord can't stand you anymore, if it weren't for the palm print and the pen to speak for you, you wouldn't have thought about passing the test this time."

"The two old men of the palm print and the pen speak for me?" Besides, inexplicably, he has never met these two people, why did he say good things for himself.

"Hmph, I don't know what shit luck you have taken, the two adults appreciate you very much, and they have said a bunch of good things for you, and the long live lord turned his anger into joy, otherwise, your ten heads will also be cut off. Boy, my old man begs you, stop doing nonsense, my old man is about to be taken into the dung pit by you. ”

After Zhang Whale finished speaking, he left in a hurry, he was really afraid of this bastard boy, and he would be unlucky if he stayed with him for a long time.

Seeing that the emperor had stamped Xiaoxi's note, he was shocked in his heart.

"The emperor is also very hard, and he has increased his chips." And sighed in my heart.

The more this is the case, the more he feels the danger, of course the Ten Wangfu Street (that is, the later Wangfujing Street) is good, not to mention what to do, just ten palaces are sky-high wealth, those palaces are all smaller palaces, and they are ten, each palace is built with countless manpower and material resources, that is, there is this kind of financial resources when the Yongle period was the most prosperous, and now, it is impossible to build such ten palaces, and the treasury does not have so much silver.

Besides, I thought in my heart that this time I took the initiative to attack and ate a few chess pieces of the emperor on the chessboard, but the emperor sent a big dragon to him to eat, just to see if he dared to eat and whether he had the ability to eat it.

The emperor is so generous!

Moreover, the emperor I feel is different from the emperor that Zhang Juzheng and the ministers think in their hearts, the emperor in the hearts of Zhang Juzheng and other ministers is the kind of emperor who is humble and trusts the ministers, and gives up his rule, some like Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty, but the emperor who feels is the emperor who has the ambition of Han Wu and has the courage to act. These are actually true, the emperor is also a human being, people have a variety of personalities, there is no pure and unmixed human nature, that kind of person is a saint.

Anyway, the street is now completely in use.

Besides, putting aside these distractions, it is still very rewarding to think that the street belongs to me.

The rolling wealth that that street will bring in the future makes his blood boil even more, he has spent too much money in Beijing when he comes to Beijing, and now it is time to recover even the principal and interest.

"Do you want to give Li Xiangjun a few shops to play with?" Besides, I thought to myself.

If anyone knows that he has such thoughts, he is probably so angry that he vomits blood, then it is the best and most expensive store, can he just use it for fun?

Besides, I really dare to think and dare to do it, there is a teahouse on that street, which should be suitable for Li Xiangjun to operate, Zuo Ling is the general manager of a street, and each store should also have a store manager, in fact, they are all owners, and the following are the shopkeepers and guys, these people are the ones who come forward to take care of the business.

The rest of Zuoling's shops don't all have to deal in medicinal materials and medicines, leaving a few branches on various streets, and the rest are only responsible for production and wholesale, which gradually radiates from Beijing to various provinces, and it will not take a few years to occupy the entire northern market.

After reading the emperor's note, he also understood that it was useless to pick a trick by changing the law, and the emperor would not let him go back to Nanjing even if he was killed. As for thinking about dying again, he didn't want to think about it, he was too tired to toss it, unless something found his head.

Let's do business honestly for a few years, he doesn't have to worry about this, Zuo Ling is in charge, she is a genius in this area. As for him, he still kept his energy and continued to toss those students.

The fact that a street changed owners, rather than a shop on a street changed owners, caused a sensation in Beijing.

In all kinds of restaurants, teahouses, streets and alleys, there are people talking about this matter.

"It's really worthy of being the powerful man of the dynasty, and it's just the first powerful person since the founding of the country, right?" In a restaurant, a man who looked like an official was indignant.

"That is, a street has not belonged to a person since the founding of the country, and this is the first time that it has been monopolized by a family."

"Who made the family an illegitimate son of the saint, the son of the dragon and the grandson of the phoenix."

"Nonsense, this kind of thing can also be said nonsense, the saint is only thirty years old this year, where can he give birth to such a big illegitimate child?"

In fact, this kind of rumor was originally some people with ulterior motives to disgust the emperor, Emperor Longqing is only thirty years old this year, and he is twenty-one years old, no matter how wise and martial Emperor Longqing is, it is impossible to give birth to a child at the age of nine, this kind of thing is not good even for Emperor Qin and Han Wu, and it is impossible to break through the physiological limit.

However, there are still many believers, mainly because many people really don't know how old the emperor is, the emperor is the father of the people of the whole country, and the emperor in the hearts of ordinary people is a god who sits on the throne above the nine heavens with a holy halo.

"Could it be the illegitimate son of the former emperor, if so, it is the emperor's brother, so it makes sense." Some people took advantage of the situation to create a rumor that he was the illegitimate son of Emperor Jiajing.

"No, if it is the illegitimate son of the former emperor, he should also be crowned king." Reasonable people doubted.

"Maybe it's hard to admit it for some reason, use this method to make up for it."

These people are also brainy, except for some ulterior motives, everyone else thinks that only the identity of the emperor's illegitimate son can explain the sudden prosperity of the Qing Dynasty, and it is impossible to live forever, and other arguments don't make sense at all.

The main reason is that a street is too famous, there is no one in Beijing who does not know, they are proud to go shopping on that street, which represents the status of wealth and status, and some people can't afford to buy things there, so they run half of Beijing City, just go to the teahouse there to have a cup of tea, and they can brag for a few days when they come back.

"You know what? A street is occupied by a man? ”

"I already knew, and I still need you to say that it was occupied by the emperor's own son, who would dare to do it."

"The emperor's own son, shouldn't he be the prince?"

"It's an illegitimate child, and I heard that the emperor is also poor and can't afford to build a palace, so I gave him a street."

"Don't talk nonsense, can the emperor still be poor?" One does not believe.

"Of course, don't you know, the emperor can't even afford to eat pulp pies, isn't it a poverty?"

"This is even more nonsense, the emperor can afford to eat the dragon meat in the sky if he wants to, why can't he afford to eat the pulp pie?"

"You don't know, when the emperor was the prince, he liked the pulp pie of a deli in Donghuamen the most, and he wanted to eat it in the palace, but several eunuchs made a budget, saying that it would cost thousands of taels of silver for the mold alone, and the pie made was fifty taels of silver. The emperor said that he had no money and would not eat, what is this not poverty? The man's words were conclusive, and there was a reason.

"The emperor is so pitiful, Donghuamen's pulp pie is a big box of five cents, and we and other grass people can't afford to eat it." This person's tears are flowing out, and the emperor is not easy.

"Yes, I just can't enter the palace, otherwise I will buy pies every day and send them to the emperor and his old man."

"I heard that the emperor and his old man wanted to eat donkey intestines once, but they didn't eat it because it was too expensive."

"I really thought that the emperor's family had endless silver, and it seems that the emperor will also be poor."

These people all looked worried about the sky, and they worried about the emperor

This thing is still true, of course Emperor Longqing can't afford to eat, but he just doesn't want to eat it angrily, how did a big box of pies with five cents become fifty taels of silver, which is thousands of times more expensive, and if he opens this front, he will not eat it alone, the concubines, female officials and eunuchs have to taste it, and they have to eat hundreds of boxes every day, which is too expensive.

Emperor Longqing was frugal by nature, not pretending, he also lived a hard life during the Jiajing period, and developed a good habit of not spending money indiscriminately, but in major national affairs, he never spared funds.
