Chapter 167: Civilized Words for Entertaining Officers

Wucheng Wang Ji Zhengyi is the same generation as the current emperor Ji Siyuan's father, the old emperor Ji Zhengde, and is Ji Zhengde's cousin.

This person Jiang Chuan has some impressions, when he entered Beijing, the courtiers went to Chaoyangmen to greet him, and at that time, Ji Zhengyi was kind and kind-eyed, and his appearance was neither humble nor arrogant, which left an impression on him.

Later, Jiang Chuan heard the news of this person from time to time, and it is said that because this person was kind, sociable, and virtuous, he had the reputation of a virtuous king.

Jiang Chuan had also been interested in this person at that time, and after letting Hei Bingtai investigate, he came to the conclusion that this person was a Buddhist sect master, who seemed to have no desires and no harm, so he put him aside.

But I didn't expect to hear the name again this time.

"Ji Zhengyi? Is this a virtuous king? Egawa sat in his chair, his fingers rhythmically tapping on the table.

Seeing Jiang Chuan like this, Chen Zhaojun knew that His Royal Highness still had some doubts about this matter.

"Your Highness, your subordinates can guarantee that this news is absolutely true. And judging from the current details, this Ji Zhengyi is absolutely inseparable from this matter. ”

Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice.

"The king is not questioning your ability to do things. There are more people in the world with human faces and beast hearts, and there is no shortage of Ji Zhengyi. This king is thinking, what is the motive of this Ji Zhengyi? Is it for himself? Or was someone else instructed to do so? ”

Jiang Chuan stopped tapping on the table and looked at Chen Zhaojun and said.

"What does Your Highness mean?" Chen Zhaojun asked.

"Go ahead, find out, whoever is involved. Give you three days, no matter what means, what this king wants is a clear result. Jiang Chuan got up, walked to the window, pushed open the west window, looked at the tall ginkgo tree in the courtyard outside, and said lightly.

……

For this so-called virtuous king, Jiang Chuan didn't take it to heart.

These people are clowns, not worth mentioning. With his current strength and prestige, these people have no resistance at all.

If it had been put on the back burner, Jiang Chuan might still have some scruples about fame, but now he wouldn't have such thoughts at all.

Things have gone through a lot, many things have been seen through, and there is no longer the original immaturity.

His current style is to be gentle with the common people, but it is good to be simple and rude to these powerful officials.

These people are cheap, they don't go and lead backwards, and it's good to clean up some after a while.

……

"I'm sorry, guest officer, according to the king's order, our store only accepts newly issued fiat currency, and we don't accept your silver. You should go to the bank and exchange it for fiat currency before checking out. ”

"Hey! Do you have any business that does this? Lao Tzu, this is real money, how can there be a reason not to want real money but a pile of waste paper? Lao Tzu asked, do you accept it or not? If you don't accept Lao Tzu, this account will not be settled! ”

"Smack!" A loud big ear scraper rang out.

"Guest, did you see the sign on our wall when you entered the door? Please use civilized language, this is the rule of our store! ”

"Dare to hit Lao Tzu? Give it to me, dismantle this shop! ”

Then, there was a crackling, and the sound of a human body falling to the ground and all kinds of screams suddenly sounded.

"Guest officer, please ask if you can afford to provoke it before making trouble next time, so that everyone will not be in trouble." A female voice with a slightly strange Zhongzhou accent floated down from the second floor.

Lying on the ground covering his cheeks, the fat man with a mouthful of blood foam was lying on the ground, and the look on his face was angry and frightened.

With an expression that wants to say cruel words but can't grasp the depth of the other party's background, it is really embarrassing to watch.

A good deed person next to him stepped forward and reminded: "This master, this one is really right." It's not a place you can afford to mess with. If you are smart, check out and leave, lest you end up unable to leave. ”

The fat man was stunned, and the good deed muttered a few words in a low voice, and the fat man's face suddenly changed greatly, and his face was as frightened as earth.

Looking at the pile of silver in front of her, Mo Dai sighed and said, "Little Green, how many are you doing today?" ”

"The shopkeeper is already the fifth. These people are really strange, they only need to exchange for fiat currency to settle the bill, but they have to be cleaned up in the end, and they are willing to leave after spending several times more silver, they are all donkeys. ”

A young woman in a green gauze dress laughs as she counts the silver on the table.

"Okay, Xiao Lu, you will take two people to the bank with 10,000 taels of silver to exchange for fiat currency. In addition, put up a few more notices stating that all the store must be paid in fiat currency, and if you pay in silver, it will take three times. ”

Mo Dai thought for a moment and commanded.

Although the Heaven and Earth Restaurant has not been open for a long time, today's business can definitely be regarded as one of the best restaurants in Beijing.

Since Jiangchuan began to issue fiat currency, after the reform of the currency system, the heavens and the earth, as the industry of the royal palace, naturally have to be fully supported.

The most direct way is to refuse to accept cash, including silver bills and gold leaves.

If you want to use these to settle the bill, you must pay several times more, and the extra money is even the handling fee for going to the bank to exchange fiat currency in heaven and earth.

There must have been some people who weren't happy at first, but the background of heaven and earth was there, and no one could afford to provoke it.

Those who dare to make trouble will be cleaned up directly, and in the end, they will be beaten and will have to pay several times more silver to get out.

Although business has been greatly affected in this way, Jiang Chuan doesn't care, and others naturally don't care.

But heaven and earth can do this, but other shops can't do this.

Hua Furong, a well-known ready-to-wear store in Beijing, is a store specializing in selling custom-made high-end women's clothing, which is located on the most prosperous Lion Street in Beijing.

That's right, it's on the same street as the headquarters of Zhongzhou Bank, and it's about 200 steps away.

As mentioned earlier, the people who can open a store here are people with deep backgrounds, and ordinary people can't get a store here.

This Hua Hibiscus is naturally no exception, and it is said that the background of the owner behind it is as deep as the sea.

The women's clothing of this Hua Furong is very popular among the ladies of the wealthy families in the capital, the material is good, the style is novel, and the workmanship is also extraordinarily meticulous.

The status of this Hua Furong women's clothing in Beijing and even Zhongzhou is similar to that of Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton in later generations.

Hua Furong's store is huge, three times the size of a regular storefront.

Two young women, dressed like ladies of wealthy families, walked into Hua Furong's storefront, and after walking around the store, they picked out a few clothes.

The female clerk in the store diligently wrapped the clothes and led the two ladies to the cashier to settle the bill.

"Two ladies, a total of two hundred and thirty-four taels of silver." The shopkeeper behind the counter had a lovely smile.

The older lady motioned to a maid who followed behind her to take out the money, but another younger woman said: "Shopkeeper, now that the imperial court implements fiat currency, gold and silver are not allowed to circulate, do you still accept it in this store?" We don't have fiat currency to exchange. ”

"Please rest assured that the two ladies will continue to work as usual. In this world, there is no reason not to collect gold and silver and waste paper. The shopkeeper still said with a smile, looking fearless.
