Chapter 102: Huge Sums of Money and Branch Openings

"Twenty-six thousand taels?"

"Twenty-six thousand taels!!"

Jiang Feng was really calm when he heard this number at this time, what was the concept of tens of thousands of taels in the Ming Dynasty, now he has a full understanding, now he can take this silver to find a city in the Ming Dynasty at random, and live comfortably for a few lifetimes, if he can live for so long.

In modern times, Jiang Feng worked in that restaurant for a year, and the salary and bonus added up to more than 30,000 yuan a year, and he often went to buy lottery tickets on weekends, and after buying them, he put the lottery tickets under his pillow, and then he lay on the bed and thought about how to spend them after winning the lottery.

Although it is said that he has only won ten yuan once at most, but he often can't sleep with excitement when he thinks about it at night, but today he has 26,000 taels of silver, and when it comes to hand, Jiang Feng's heart has no waves, and Zhao Xiucai, who rushed in, is already speechless, and Bowen's face is already flushed.

Jiang Feng wanted to be as excited as them, but his heart was calm and abnormal, according to the purchasing power, 26,000 taels of silver was already nearly 15 million yuan in modern times, of course, this is only from a certain point of view, the actual conversion is still different.

Money is now only a change in numbers for Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng always feels that when he comes to the Ming Dynasty, he wants to do something else.

Zhao Xiucai and Bowen still hadn't woken up there, Jiang Feng was just a flash of thought there, looking at the appearance of the two of them, he couldn't help but feel a little funny, patted the table with his hand, and shouted in a low voice:

"Alright, alright, this is just the first silver, and there is a lot more to come."

The two people who were in a daze over there came to their senses, and Bowen coughed dryly there, looked at Jiang Feng and said:

"Boss, you're almost twenty years younger than me, and you're so calm that you look like a child, what an amazing character."

Zhao Xiucai was excited, and hurriedly took out the bag in his hand, handed it to Jiang Feng with trembling hands, and said:

"Boss, you count the numbers."

Jiang Feng didn't say much, grabbed the bag and ignored it, he felt that Zhao Xiucai was his own person, and he should rest assured, but Zhao Xiucai didn't dare to be sloppy at this time, insisted on asking Jiang Feng to count the silver, and insisted there:

"My owner, this is really more than 20,000 taels of silver, don't worry, but I'm scared."

In fact, Chen Gou'er and Chen Bei's uncle and nephew of Shangshan Supervisor, after seeing that this activity actually earned them so much silver, their first reaction was incredible, you must know that the Imperial Horse Supervisor received more than 200,000 taels of silver from the various offerings in the Huangzhuang in the sixth year of Zhengde.

This is the most in the past years, according to the extravagance of Emperor Zhengde of Ming Wuzong, the money was enough for him to spend four months, and then the people and Wenchen have been widely criticized, saying that this kind of extravagance is directly compared to the atmosphere of Shang Sui Yang and the king of the dead country.

Now it is closely in the restaurant restaurant in Beijing to evaluate the food, and it is actually collected nearly 60,000 taels among the merchants, and when they go out to participate in all parties, the Chen family and Jiang Feng can each party get more than 20,000 taels, and a small act is actually more than the silver collected in a month by the imperial horse supervisor who is in charge of the royal expenses, which is really incredible.

In the Ming Dynasty, it was not until the Wanli period that it began to pay attention to the collection of commercial taxes, which was also the notorious various tax supervisors, mine supervisors, and salt supervisors in later generations, which collected amazing silver taels, which supported China's last large-scale foreign military use of the "Wanli Three Great Marches" for 5,000 years.

Prior to this, the Ming Dynasty's financial concept was still the use of the world's acres, and the taxes on agriculture were still the main ones, and no one paid attention to the already extremely developed commerce and handicraft industry.

Therefore, Chen's uncle and nephew felt extremely shocked and incomprehensible by the silver taels that were collected. The second reaction, Jiang Feng didn't guess, that day Chen Bei and Chen Gou'er were in a private seat on the third floor of the Mellow Building, Chen Bei crackled and finished the calculation, raised his head to look at his eunuch uncle, and said in a low voice:

"After settling the account, he actually wants to divide 26,000 taels of silver for that fanzi, except for his ideas, the rest of this matter is your uncle, your old man is busy there, or ......."

Chen Gou'er is already in his sixties, which is considered a long life in this era, maybe he is in charge of eating and drinking in Shangshan, the whole person is white and fat, and his face is so rich that he can't see his eyes, and he doesn't know whether to open or close it there.

After a moment he spoke:

"That little fanzi is nothing, but this matter may be what Grandpa Zhang meant, I heard people in the palace say that when Grandpa Zhang lived in Jiangxi, he was very poor, maybe it was the money he earned, we made a friend, and we couldn't do things too much, there will be income in the next few years, don't rush here."

Jiang Feng naturally didn't know the silver he had already shared, if it weren't for others knowing that his backstage was Zhang Yong, he might not be able to get a penny in his hand.

When the whole Jingshi is talking about the food conference on the twentieth day of the lunar month, in the place where Nancheng was originally Zhongxintang, a restaurant opened, and the original lobby is now rebuilt very brightly, as soon as you enter the lobby, you can see that the counters on both sides are full of steaming steamed food, steamed buns, steamed buns, pancakes, and all kinds of cooked dishes in large pots, and other home-cooked meals, here are everything, covered with a fine gauze cage, it seems to be clean and bright.

The room is very warm, there are tables and chairs in the open space in the middle, and the food on the counter on both sides of the counter is eaten at home, and the guy behind the counter will immediately wrap the straw package for you, if you eat here, after buying, take a wooden plate and eat directly here.

The name of this restaurant is also extremely interesting, on the flagpole outside is half an enlarged copper coin, and below the copper coin is three big characters "a little profit".

Some calculating people have calculated the price of those food inside, and found that the profit money is really half a penny, and it is not even this price, and if you eat here, it will save you worry and effort, not to mention, if you add the firewood and grass money for living and cooking at home, it will be more expensive than here.

The small people in the market are the most calculating, and since it is so convenient here, how can it not be justified in saving money. On the first day, there were only a few curious people who came, and on the second day, it was immediately described as a crowd, and a large number of people gathered here at noon and evening.

Originally, the hall was a two-story building, and the upper floor was used as a private seat, but now it has been completely opened up, and it has become a rather bright place, and I don't know whose idea it was, and it is full of tables and chairs, and a table is placed on the north-facing position, and it is a teahouse that invites people to comment.

Drinking tea and snacks is also extremely cheap, this is another gathering point of a crowd, but the people around who were originally frightened and afraid of Zhongxinlou opening a restaurant are relieved, and finally they didn't jump out directly like Huifeng Lou to grab business, if there is another one, I'm afraid everyone is going to drink wind.

But these people are also strange in their hearts, Zhongxintang is now a little profitable, and the boss behind it is the owner of Huifeng Building, which is known, but why just open this kind of restaurant and teahouse with very small profits, it may be better to rent this place to other people to do business.

"Is there only three taels of silver a day?"

The people who listened to the books in the evening had dispersed, and the guys had finished cleaning the rather messy ground on it, and they were all in a hurry to the first floor for dinner, which had been busy since it opened, and there would be no time to spare throughout the day, and now it was in the empty second-floor teahouse above.

There are only two people, Jiang Feng and Wang Qinian, Jiang Feng laughed while throwing the small silver ingots around, Wang Qinian was originally a guest in Huifeng Building, because when Li Hechun came to smash the store, he was quite heroic, and he was also smart and clever on weekdays.

Seeing Jiang Feng's relaxed demeanor, Wang Qinian had a bitter face there, and couldn't help complaining there:

"The owner, these three taels of silver are the most earned since the opening of the five days, and I have to lose five taels or six taels every day for the past few days, so I'm ashamed."

Jiang Feng threw up the silver there, and reached out to catch it, and had a lot of fun there, Wang Qinian thought that Jiang Feng blamed him in his heart, and he was suddenly a little at a loss there, but he was really ashamed in his heart, he was a child of a broken household, Jiang Feng didn't think he let him be a good guest, and the money he gave was really rich, and now the family is living a more comfortable life, such kindness, but he can't repay it, just when he is more and more panicked. Jiang Feng turned his head there and said:

"Yinzi doesn't care about him, do you know that most of the families of the Jinyi Guards and the officers of the battalion live around here?"

Wang Qinian was stunned for a moment, and suddenly understood something in his heart, and his whole body seemed to be suddenly a lot colder, and he agreed there:

"The villain knows."

Jiang Feng stood up and patted Wang Qinian on the shoulder, revealing an expression that you know and I know, and continued:

"Can you do what I told you to do?"

Wang Qinian looked left and right, and there was naturally no one else around except Jiang Feng, he walked to the counter downstairs, took out a rather large notebook, and whispered:

"Owner, the guests who have come here for dinner and tea these days, all the discussions that have nothing to do with family affairs are remembered here......"
