Chang Maoyuan's store in Beijing is located near Zhoufu, not only because this is a wealthy area in Beijing, so it is more business-oriented, and the security is relatively better, but more importantly, this location is relatively close to Zhoufu, and this point can come in handy when there is any change in the future.

Zhou Kui is the father of Empress Zhou, and the grandfather of Chongzhen's son, the crown prince Zhu Cihong, and Yongwang Zhu Cizhao. In the original history, when the Jiashen Kingdom changed, Emperor Chongzhen let his sons hide in his maternal grandfather's house. As a result, of course, they did not escape, and both the crown prince and the Yongwang fell into the hands of Li Zicheng, and later disappeared with Li Zicheng's withdrawal from Beijing. Zheng Sen did not intend to save Chongzhen when the Jiashen Kingdom changed, because although Emperor Chongzhen was very confused many times, his personality was extremely tough, and he was not a person who was willing to be a puppet, and in comparison, his sons might be much more convenient to control. Placing a stronghold near the Zhou Mansion will be relatively convenient to do things in the future.

In fact, not only is there a stronghold of the Zheng family near Zhou Kui's mansion, but near the home of another important relative, Tian Hongyu, there is also a Zheng family's shop called Bao Tongtong, which specializes in selling various luxury goods, and Tian Hongyu also has a dry stock in this store.

Compared with the stingy Zhou Kui, Tian Hongyu is more flexible, his daughter Concubine Tian is the most favored concubine of Emperor Chongzhen, but now Concubine Tian is seriously ill, and her illness is getting worse day by day, according to the imperial doctors, I am afraid that it will not last long. This is also the norm in this day and age, because of the low level of medicine, even the royal family has a very high chance of dying from various diseases. For example, Concubine Tian gave birth to a total of four sons, but only one survived, and the few born later died one after another. It is said that Concubine Tian's illness is also related to the pain after the child's death. I probably knew that I would die soon. The intelligent Concubine Tian did two things one after another, the first was to ask the emperor to crown her ten-year-old son as king, her reason was that she was afraid that she would not see her son wearing a crown. But in fact, this is also to determine the identity of the son earlier, so as not to provoke unwarranted suspicion and framing of others. A few days ago, Concubine Tian supported her illness again and went to Ciqing Palace in person to meet her sister-in-law, Zhang Yan, the empress of the Emperor of the Apocalypse, and entrusted her only surviving son, Yongwang Zhu Cizhao, to the care of the only woman she trusted in the harem.

After supporting Lonely, when she returned to her palace, Concubine Tian fell ill again.

On this morning, not long after the opening of the treasure pass, a steward of the Tian Mansion named Tian Gui hurriedly entered the treasure pass.

"Steward Tian, what did you come to us early in the morning today? But what is the use of a trumpet? Wang Ren, the shopkeeper of Baotong, hurriedly greeted him, and when he saw that Tian Gui's expression was not quite right, he hurriedly asked.

"Shopkeeper Wang, I know that you have some ways to get things that others can't." Tian Gui didn't say much, and said directly, "I have a list here, can you get the things on it?" ”

The Tian family is a royal family, and they can definitely get ordinary things. And what they have to find someone to help them get is either taboo or too rare. So Wang Ren nodded and said, "Manager Tian, let's talk inside." ”

The two of them walked to the back hall together, passing through a courtyard, Wang Ren took Tian Gui into a room and sat down, called two people to serve tea, and then asked them to go out to guard the door of the house, watching these two people close the door, then turned to Tian Gui and said, "I don't know what Steward Tian needs." ”

Tian Gui took out a piece of paper from his arms and handed it to Wang Renze, who took it and looked at it, but it was a prescription. If you take a closer look, there are indeed some rare medicinal herbs on it.

"Ke'an's prescription, this person is very sick." Wang Ren knew a little about medical science, and after reading this prescription, he used some drugs that were almost used to hang his life, and he knew that this patient was afraid that he was very sick.

"I'm not going to hide it from you." Tian Gui said, "This is a noble person who wants to use." Can you get these things? ”

Wang Ren looked at Fang Zi again, tapped his fingers lightly on the table, and said, "Some of the things in here, such as rhino horn and ginseng, are indeed very rare for ordinary people. But your mansion is the emperor's family, mention it to the emperor, can't you get such a thing? ”

Tian Gui said: "If it was in the early years, these things, the emperor would really have how many or so much." Only now, in order to ...... In short, the emperor has already exchanged these things for money and spent them. It's just that there is a little bit occasionally, and it is not suitable, now, how many years have I not entered the medicinal materials in the hospital, where are there any good medicinal materials? Even licorice is old. Shopkeeper Wang also knows that no matter how good the medicinal materials are, as long as they are for a long time, they will all rot and really become bark and grass roots. And these drugs have to be the best. For example, this rhino horn must be made of Tianzhu's one-horned rhinoceros, preferably more than three feet long; As for this ginseng, now Liaodong is occupied by Jianxuan, which is a rare commodity, and it is a noble person's medicine, and the imperial doctor said that it is best to have more than eight taels of ginseng. Although these things are rare, as long as you have money, you can still find them slowly. It's just that I'm in a hurry to use it now, but I can't wait so long, and it's best to get it within a month. I don't know if you have a way? ”

Wang Ren thought for a while and said: "The owner of the small shop is Zheng Zongbing from Fujian, Zheng Zongbing knows a lot of Taixi maritime merchants, and it is possible to get Tianzhu unicorn rhinoceros from them, but it is a bit rushed to send it over within a month." As for this ginseng, although Liaodong is now occupied by Jianxuan, this ginseng can actually be bought, but these ginseng are all taboos, and now they want to be used by nobles, I don't know...... Moreover, even if there is no Jian Yan to make trouble, even if there is no Jian Liang to make trouble, it may not be able to get it in a hurry, so the small shop does not dare to pack tickets. I can only say try to find it. Your lord can discuss with the people of Shanxi and Guanning and cast a net everywhere, so that the chances of obtaining these things are greater. ”

In the past two years, the "Dutch" occupying Jeju Island have often used North Korea as a sandbag for military training, which means that they have often attacked North Korea in the form of pirates. The Koreans tried to resist at first, but their sailors were quickly crushed by the fleet on Jeju Island; They tried to ask Ken for help, but there was nothing he could do with these "Dutch pirates". In the end, the Koreans had to give in to these "Dutch pirates" and agreed to open a trading port in Pusan to trade with the Dutch. North Korea also produces ginseng, so Bao Tong really has a chance to get good ginseng.

"Cast a net everywhere, we will." Tian Gui said, "But I still have to worry about the king's shopkeeper." As long as there is something, the price is negotiable. In addition, the head of the family also has another thanks. ”

"What did Steward Tian say?" Wang Ren said, "Over the years, the business of the small shop has been thanks to the support of your house, and now there is a place for the small shop, so it is natural to do your best, and your house is also a shareholder of the small shop, how can the small shop not do its best?" ”

After sending Tian Gui out, Wang Ren immediately returned to the backyard, he walked into a room and closed the door. It was a bedroom with a large carved bed in the middle of the room. Wang Ren walked over directly, and without taking off his shoes, he stepped directly on the pedal of the bed, and he stretched out his hand and pulled something on the carved fence of the big bed, so that a piece of the floor was quietly removed, revealing an authentic entrance.

Wang Ren waited for a moment, then walked down, and then the floor moved and closed slightly.
