Chapter 408: Disdain Silver Street (Asking for a Monthly Pass)
Chapter 408: Disdain Silver Street
Since he was full of wine and food, he didn't have the heart to listen to the nonsense of the scholar next door here, and several guards escorted Jiang Feng downstairs.
When a guard directly opened the blanket and took out the cash to settle the bill, he brought out an iron sign, which was simply engraved with the word 'three', and the shopkeeper on the counter was a middle-aged man with a face of more than 400,000 yuan. After seeing this sign, the smile on his face quickly deepened a little, and he turned his head and asked the acquaintance next to him:
"The distinguished guests of Sanjiang Commercial Bank, why didn't they take them to the courtyard at the back, but went to the private room, which was very noisy, didn't they snub these people."
The acquaintance was also stunned when he heard the shopkeeper's words, and he looked at the sign quite rudely, and then explained with a wry smile:
"Shopkeeper, you have wronged me, the guest officers didn't take out this sign at all, and I don't know, there are still two empty in the courtyard behind!"
Jiang Feng and the guards were also stunned, and the guards didn't want to say anything, they took out the silver money to settle the account, and the shopkeeper and the customer were full of apologies, and insisted on giving a 20% discount, which was the attitude of the store, Jiang Feng naturally didn't care about this bit of silver, and he didn't want to continue to say more, so he just threw the silver on the counter, and turned around and went out with the guards, the service here is indeed much better than that day.
As soon as they went out, there was a small servant over there who brought the horses or something, and waited at the door, which still made Jiang Feng quite admired, he didn't have such a meticulous idea back then, a group of people got on the horse together, the guards were all bears and tigers, and the horses under their crotches, although a group of people were dressed in civilian clothes, there was naturally a momentum in them, but someone behind them said coldly:
"Swaggering through the market, these lowly people are so extravagant, the discipline is corrupt, the discipline is corrupt!"
The voice was heard when he was in the private room of the restaurant, it should be one of those scholars, Jiang Feng didn't take these people in his eyes, but a few young and vigorous people under his command were furious, and looked over, there were sixteen or seventeen people standing on the steps of Huifeng Building, looking at the dress, six or seven scholars and about ten subordinates, Jiang Feng's guards glared at them, and these people also looked back without showing weakness.
Jiang Feng looked over lightly, the faces of the people on the steps were full of provocative looks, what kind of people were there to read the style and demeanor of scholars, Jiang Feng's eyes showed the momentum cultivated by years of killing career, looking at Jiang Feng These people were wearing civilian clothes, and they were also from other places, and the scholars who wanted to take advantage of the strength of the wine to provoke right and wrong suddenly trembled slightly in their hearts, this kind of momentum cultivated on the killing field was something that these scholars could bear.
Of course, the scholars who can come to a place like Huifeng Tower for a banquet are not the children of ordinary families, and they are generally the children of officials and eunuchs in a certain place.
As soon as Jiang Feng lifted the horse, he walked away towards the way he came, and he must go through the steps when he walked like this, and a few people who were weak in their hearts when they saw Jiang Feng's eyes found that the horses were rushing in their own direction, and they didn't know why they were scared in their hearts, and the person standing in the middle actually shouted:
"My father is the prefect of Kaifeng Mansion......"
The horses swept past him, several people retreated in fright, and two of them fell directly on the steps, full of ugliness, Jiang Feng just turned the horse's head and left the street, he never thought of what to do to these scholars, and he didn't bother to do anything, but these people were scared like this.
Jiang Feng's guards saw that these people were so ugly, they all laughed, and followed their master to gallop out, and the anger in their hearts was swept away.
At the beginning of the middle of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called scholars have become another kind of pronoun for the landlords and gentry, which is also normal, the farmers who cultivate the land only have the whole family to work and may not ensure food and clothing, how to be willing to take out a complete labor force to completely cut off, as for the imperial examination, there are few so-called miracles of poor scholars high school, the more official eunuchs are more wealthy families, the more fully connected in the officialdom, the greater the advantage in the imperial examination.
After decades of metabolism, the people in the imperial examination of officialdom were basically the children of the landlords, gentry and eunuchs, and the merchants could not participate in the imperial examination because of their status.
These scholars from landlords were very disgusted and hateful to the business that was gradually becoming hot, because after all, there were still a few bureaucrats and most of the nobles who benefited from the Ming industry.
Even if there are occasionally a few insightful heroes, they are also overwhelmed by the vast sea of mediocrity, and Jiang Feng, who is galloping on the street, is still thinking that these scholars who are full of benevolence and morality, but who act obscenely and unbearable, may be just a special case of this place in Jingshi.
There may be so-called outstanding talents in other places, who will be found by themselves, but most of the characters in the world are like this, but Jiang Feng miscalculated this, in the end, he was still affected by the legends he saw when he didn't cross over, and thought that it was an easy thing to find talents.
He didn't expect that there were very few scholars like Liu Shunhua, you must know that there are no more than twenty people who enter the Hanlin Academy all day, which is already the top of the readers, not to mention that Liu Shunhua is a special case of starting from poverty, utilitarianism and gambling.
Although the changes in Nancheng are not small, the main road is still the same, Jiang Feng will not get lost when he gallops on horseback, and there are already people who are familiar with the terrain of Beijing in front of him, and after turning a few streets, he will arrive at the place where he stays this time. This street Jiangfeng is not unfamiliar.
On that day, the gold and silver in the iron box were exchanged for the money village on this street, at that time, this street in the south city was already a concentration of large commercial houses and money houses, and now it is even more extraordinary, the whole street is on both sides of a water of blue bricks and black tiles, and the street is paved with granite strips, which looks very solemn.
There are not many portals on the street, only more than 20 houses, each of which looks dignified and magnificent, and the little guys and guys standing at the door are also different from the ordinary downtown blocks, and they do not shout loudly to attract guests, they are all smiling, gentle and polite response, and they have a kind of bearing.
Jiang Feng controlled the horses to walk slowly, while looking at the appearance of this street, he thought in his heart that this is really similar to the modern bank street, and the difference is the appearance of the building.
The money village on the street is really familiar to Jiang Feng, and Jiang Feng's silver money turnover on that day was carried out through the big pass number of the Xu family of Wei Guogong in Nanjing, that is, in these years in Huazhou, the maritime trade is with the merchants of Jiangnan and Jiangbei, or the Japanese merchants, and the Western merchants, are all in the big pass number.
And after such a long time of dealing with each other, I feel more and more convenient, more and more inseparable, or Su Guanyue took the lead in thinking that it is not okay to go on like this, after all, Su Guanyue has been handed down by his father, who is a waiter in the household department, and is extremely sensitive to this kind of financial income and expenditure, she suggested to Jiang Feng that if this continues, it means that Huazhou's finances are in the hands of Chase Money, that is, it is hard work but making wedding clothes for others.
Saying this, others may not feel anything, but Jiang Feng vaguely feels that what he said is reasonable, this is the establishment of Huazhou Qianzhuang by Su Guanyue and Zhao Xiucai, and now the maritime trade, Huazhou Qianzhuang and the Chase number are probably four or six separate business.
In fact, this feeling is not unfounded, Jiang Feng may not have remembered, but in modern times, more or less heard the bank control all enterprises, of course, this is a hundred years later in Europe to take shape.
On the side of the pass number is the Sanjiang Commercial Bank, and the industries under the Jiang Jiajun, Huazhou or outside the Guan, have all kinds of industries, and they are not facing the sea, but the Ming Dynasty.
After all, the world's largest market is now the Ming Dynasty itself, and all kinds of specialties outside the customs have been popular in the era of the Jingshi business group, and an important part of the profits of the manor outside the customs is on this, and Jiangfeng's Huifeng Manor also has its own agent 'Sanjiang Commercial Bank' in the customs
However, the existence of this trading house is not only to buy and sell goods, but also has other purposes, such as the identity of Sima Cheng of the Huazhou Governor's Mansion in Beijing, most of whom are the associates or shopkeepers of the Sanjiang Commercial Bank. So the behavior has always been low-key, these people just know that this is a Liaoyang wealthy joint stock opened shops, but they don't know anything else, because of the low-key behavior, in the act of swagger, the rich and noble Jingshi business group collapsed, Sanjiang Commercial Bank has been safely existed, after the land inspection, inside and outside the customs is almost cut off, but the demand for special products outside the customs is still not small.
Sanjiang Commercial Bank took advantage of this opportunity to develop slowly, and quietly monopolized the exchange of goods inside and outside the customs, and was already a large business in Beijing.
The big business is naturally on the twelfth floor to entertain guests for a long time in the courtyard, so the shopkeeper of Huifeng Lou will ask his subordinates to welcome guests after seeing this brand, Huifeng Lou has always been very important to win such a big customer as Sanjiang Commercial Bank, they naturally do not know what the owner of Sanjiang Commercial Bank and Huifeng Lou has to do.
Why is it called Sanjiang? The three rivers surrounding the reclamation manor outside the Guan, the Songhua River, the Taer River, and the Liao River, have now become important water trade routes......
