They were chatting, and suddenly they saw Tian Guifei coming out of the cubicle. Behind her, followed by Fang Zhenghua, holding three silk horses in her hands.

Seeing Tian Guifei walking to the emperor's side, she said a little shyly: "Master, I couldn't hold back for a while, and I used up all the expenses of the past few days." ”

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the silk horses, nodded and said, "It's okay, go shopping again, there are still those you like, it's good to advance later." Wait until the family has money in the future, and then spend it. ”

This is also a helpless thing, crossing over, the treasury can starve to death rats, a butt of debts, how many people are waiting to be fed, Emperor Chongzhen has been busy for a year, and finally made up for the military salary of the border army, and developed a few new industries, but there is not much money yet, it can only be regarded as a source of money. For the sake of the Ming country, you have to tighten your belts to live.

This southern tour cost a lot of silver, and the inner treasury is only a few dollars, so even if it is Tian Guifei, the amount of expenses per day is limited.

Tian Guifei listened to the emperor's words and nodded as a matter of course. But Chen Youming, who was on the side, was stunned.

He didn't expect that this young man, who was watching the big scene and followed by more than 20 followers, would be so poor. Thinking so, he suddenly felt a little guilty for the hospitality fees he had collected yesterday. At the same time, he also doubted his own vision, afraid that this son was not a big official, right?

At this moment, someone came out of the private room of the shop, a young and beautiful woman, and a man led the way out in front of her. He was followed by two maids and two servants, two of whom were each holding a stack of silk in their hands, and they were almost out of sight.

When the woman passed by Tian Guifei's side, she was slightly stunned, as if she was shocked by Tian Guifei's beauty, and her eyes were obviously a little jealous. However, when he saw the three pieces of silk in Fang Zhenghua's hand behind Tian Guifei, he glanced at Emperor Chongzhen with slanted eyes, his chin raised slightly, and he snorted "hum", and turned his head to go out.

"Hehe, I didn't expect to be despised!" Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but shake his head and smile.

Liu Xingzuo was furious, and he raised his leg and wanted to go out, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen shouting: "What are you doing?" ”

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, retreat and stand with his hands down.

Chen Youming was quite surprised by this scene. When he looked at Emperor Chongzhen, there was even a hint of admiration in his eyes. Thinking that so many passers-by didn't stretch out their hands, and this son reached out to help, he felt that it seemed that this son's cultivation was really the first in his life!

"Work hard to make money, so that there will be more money sooner rather than later, both inside and outside the family!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed, smiled at Concubine Tian, and then turned around and walked out.

Seriously, Tian Guifei was also furious just now, if the emperor hadn't expressed his position first, she would definitely have made that woman look good. However, when she watched the emperor go out, she had no choice but to go out with her, but she thought in her heart, the emperor is going out on patrol in micro-service, or it is better to do less and not cause trouble to the emperor.

After leaving the store, her interest was obviously lower, and when she passed by some shops she usually liked, she didn't enter, but just walked around with the emperor. In this way, it will be faster.

I have to say that Nanxun Town is really prosperous, in addition to the lake silk as a pillar industry, because of the concentration of people, the concentration of money, and the ensuing variety of service industries. If you just walk down the street, it's hard to tell whether it's a town or a city.

Emperor Chongzhen walked along, and seemed to chat with Chen Youming casually: "Where do most of those Fujian and Guangdong merchants go to trade, do they have fixed teeth?" ”

"Generally speaking, if you are a regular customer, of course, there is a fixed tooth line. Even they don't have to send people to pay the money and pay the lake silk every year as agreed. Chen Youming obviously knows a lot, "But this year's situation is special, when the first official lake silk transaction after the opening of the sea, whether it is a regular customer or not, I am afraid that someone will be sent to renegotiate the contract, or will purchase more." ”

"Those Fujian and Guangdong merchants, as far as the villain knows, naturally go to the largest tooth shops in Nanxun Town to trade, otherwise, their appetite is too big, and the small tooth shop may not be able to satisfy them." When Chen Youming said this, he introduced to Emperor Chongzhen, "These silk lines can be divided into big lines, small lines, and small leaders. Among them, the small line is also known as the village, which is to buy it to pay the big bank, and the small leader is commonly known as the owner of Baila, and the village silk is sold on behalf of it, and the small profit is slightly extracted. The big bank is divided into Jingzhuang, Guangzhuang, Jingzhuang, and Xiangzhuang. The trading place of Fujian and Guangdong merchants asked by Gongzi is actually this Guangzhuang. “

"Oh!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then asked again: "Then where is this Guangzhuang?" I want to check it out! ”

"There are two places in Guangzhuang, one is in the east of the town, which is opened by our Chen family. The other one is at the west end of the town, which was opened by the Wang family. Chen Youming introduced, then pointed to the front and said, "Let's walk to the street, cross the bridge, and walk two more streets to Chen's Guangzhuang." ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.

Or knowing what news Emperor Chongzhen likes to hear, Chen Youming was silent for a while, and then began to introduce again: "This year's silkworm farmers have made preparations in advance because of the national policy of opening the sea, and it is estimated that the output is very large. According to the villain's estimates, we are afraid that we will have at least 100,000 packs in Nanxun Town this year, and the price will be about 10 million taels. ”

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he couldn't help but be surprised, about 10 million taels, this is just the transaction volume here in Nanxun Town, will it be exaggerated? He didn't know that this valuation was not exaggerated at all. In the later "Nanxun Town Chronicles", there is a clear record.

As they walked, they soon came to the other side of the river. Before he got closer, Chen Youming smiled and pointed to the boats moored on the edge of the bridge and said, "Childe, please look, those are the silkworm farmers who rushed out to sell lake silk, and the sooner they come out to sell, the higher the price." When Husi is listed in large quantities, the price will fall. It's just that the price difference in the middle is enough for ordinary people to live a more comfortable life. ”

Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen also understands this truth, he nodded, and hoped that the silkworm farmers could sell it for more money, after all, it was their hard-earned money.

When I got closer, I found that there was a commotion by the river in front of me, and there was a faint sound of quarrels. When Chen Youming heard this, he couldn't help but sigh.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious, so he asked, "What's going on in front?" ”

"You don't have to look at it, it must be the line bully bullying those silkworm farmers." Chen Youming replied immediately, obviously, he seemed to have seen too much.
