"How?" Shi Congbin said: "Who are you afraid of in the capital in Donglin?" ”

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly and said: "In the twilight of spring, Yang Gong began to impeach Wei Gelding with the impeachment of the twenty-four deadly crimes, and so far there have been more than 90 people impeaching Wei Gelding together, and the momentum is very great, but now there is no movement at all, and even the emperor has repeatedly reprimanded the book, and now there are rumors in the market that this time we are afraid that we Donglin are going to lift stones and smash their own feet." Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo”

"Could it be that serious?" Shi Congbin looked sad and said: "The great thing is that the two sides are tied, anyway, Donglin and the eunuch party have been fighting for more than a year." When I came from Henan, I heard people talk about these things, saying that recently, Zhu Guobi, the Marquis of Funing, and Dazong Bo have respectively written to Yang Dahong to complain, asking the emperor to punish Wei Gelding or recall him to the inner court, and not allow him to intervene in foreign affairs. ”

Shi Kefa shook his head slightly, his uncle came to Beijing from other provinces, and he didn't know what the situation was, but now the situation has reached the point where the Donglin Party has done its best, and even the Funing Marquis who sympathizes with the Donglin Party has been pulled out, and Weng Zhengchun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, is a great uncle, and generally such a high-ranking and powerful minister will not intervene in the obvious party struggle, and this time he is also Chibo, but unfortunately it has no effect......

Yang Lian's original fold has long been repudiated by the Ming Decree, and recently Yang Lian and Zuo Guangdou, Gao Panlong, Huang Zunsu and other Donglin backbones have been in front of the mansion There are obviously people who are Dongchang servants going back and forth, and these servants have no intention of avoiding taboos, bluntly saying that Wei Zhongxian sent to guard the officials, in case these Donglin backbones who wrote on the book abandon the officials and flee south, and it will take a lot of effort to catch them when the time comes.

The situation is very bad, but according to Shi Kefa's understanding, the upper echelons of Donglin have no intention of giving up, in fact, according to Shi Kefa's thoughts, since the Son of Heaven is extremely resolute, in order to prevent a rupture, he can retreat appropriately, even if Yang Lian and others are demoted or dismissed, there will always be a chance to recover in the future, if they continue to fight like this, I really don't know how far it will go.

"So to speak." Shi Congbin said: "These people don't sell your face anymore? ”

In the past, Shi Kefa was Zuo Guangdou's disciple, and he was well-known in the capital, and the Donglin Party was extremely powerful in the capital.

Shi Kefa smiled bitterly: "I said that I was going to do business." ”

"Alas, this is a dirty villain." Shi Congbin didn't panic, and asked the chief entourage to take out a small flag from the package, and ordered: "Plug it into the head car, I see him doing business." ”

This is a small flag with a red background, and in the middle is a small seal written with the word "and", Shi Kefa's heart moved, and said: "This is the flag of Heyusheng?" ”

"Yes." Shi Congbin said: "I bought this team two years ago, so I have never hired and Yusheng cars. In fact, most of our Henan businessmen who went to Linqing and the capital were hired by Yusheng's convoy. People's carriages are transported a lot, and the road will not be broken, unlike our car, which has to be overhauled for dozens of miles, and it is annoying to death. Originally, I had a car, and they couldn't deal with it, and then their account bureau was good, much safer than their own silver, and gradually started to deal with it, this year they opened up the joint with the big guys along the way, and several times suppressed the robbers who beat their ideas, and now no one dares to mess with their convoy along the way, this flag is bought with silver, the money is very limited, and it is paid according to five thousandths of the goods, that is, it costs money to pull a tiger skin, and it is much more convenient along the way. ”

"I see." Shi Congbin has never been to school, although he is also from a scholarly family, and he has to talk a lot, but Shi Kefa still understands the general meaning.

"In that case, I won't bother you." Shi Congbin was in a hurry to get rid of the goods, and said: "I will stay in the Xiangfu Hall at night, you can come to find me at night." ”

"In the evening, my nephew will bring a few friends to pick up the wind and wash the dust for the third uncle."

"Don't make any trouble, just come and have a cup of tea, I'm very tired all the way north."

"That nephew came to visit the third uncle at night."

The uncle and nephew were separated at the city gate, Shi Kefa deliberately walked slower, and saw that his uncle's convoy did not pay the additional fee when he entered the Chongwen Gate, a small red flag, the effect was not worse than the face of his own famous disciple, before the flag, the tax collectors and soldiers gave way one after another, and greeted them quite friendly......

Shi Kefa shook his head, feeling horrified in his heart, but he didn't want to be troubled at this time, even if he turned around and left.

Shi Congbin proudly passed the tax customs, feeling that this time the silver was not in vain, his trip was worth 30,000 taels, and it cost one hundred and fifty to buy this flag, and he felt very painful at the time, and now it seems that it is simply worth it!

From Chongwen Gate into the inner city, and then to Qianmen Street is very close, but there are a lot of pedestrians along the way, business travel is dense, the convoy is not fast when walking, and when it reaches Qianmen Street, it is more and more crowded, and the convoy can move it for almost half a day.

At this time, the capital is not only the political center, but also the military center, is a super-large fortress, the city wall stretches for dozens of miles to make this city as stable as Mount Tai, whether it is the Yingzong period of the first or the Jiajing period of the answer, many times there are foreign strong troops to attack the city of Beijing, the final result is of course all the feathers returned, the sense of security plus the military and political center makes the business is also very developed, the massive permanent population and the huge foreign population add up to make the permanent population of the capital more than one million, Of course, the existence of such a huge market has made industry and commerce extremely developed, and the developed industry and commerce in the city have promoted merchants from half of northern China to come to trade, and the abundant products have attracted more merchants to come, forming a virtuous circle.

It can be said that the streets of the capital are full of shops and firms, the most prosperous is of course Qianmen Street, that is, Zhengyangmen East and West Street, this street is full of large commercial houses, the general small and medium-sized commercial banks are not qualified to gain a foothold here, the largest official store Baohe store is on Zhengyangmen Street, there are hundreds of thousands of leather goods sold a year, ordinary commercial houses can not rent stores here.

Shi Congbin got rid of the goods in less than an hour, which was originally agreed in advance, placed the goods according to the delivery order, checked them, and then waited for the store to send the silver.

"Is Mr. Shi taking the silver away, or is he going to keep the silver bill?"

The silver ticket is not the same as the silver ticket that appeared in the Qing season, mainly because it accepts the silver two in the account bureau with Yusheng.

"The money will be placed with you first." Shi Congbin said with a smile: "This time I have to handle a lot of goods, and I have to go to Hutchison to pick up the silver." ”

"Then I'll send a guy over there first, and make an appointment for you." The shopkeeper said: "It is very cumbersome to mention silver with Yusheng now, and it is best to say in advance about the delivery of large quantities of silver, so as to save them the time to delay your old age." ”

"Huh?" Shi Congbin Qi said: "Could it be that they don't have enough money to deposit, and there is a delay in exchange?" ”

"There is no delay." The shopkeeper of the firm said with a smile: "They have too many semicolons, and the silver is to be transferred from the general treasury, and then there is a delay on the road, and there are procedures for each semicolon to receive silver, so if it is a large amount of silver, it is best to say it in advance, so that it can be taken immediately." The old gentleman doesn't know about this, I'm afraid he will have to wait for a long time. ”

"I see." Since it wasn't a credibility problem, Shi Congbin also put his mind at ease and said calmly: "Then go down and take a look around, it's rare to come to Beijing, it's better to walk around." ”

This is a compulsory course for merchants in the capital, the shopkeeper of the firm is very enthusiastic, not only sent a guy to make an appointment to withdraw silver on behalf of Shi Congbin and the bookkeeping bureau, but also sent a guy to follow Shi Congbin to wander around the East and West Street as a guide.

Shi Congbin walked on the street for more than two hours, most of them were looking at the goods in various commercial houses, his main business was cloth and ironware, and there were a small number of groceries, ordinary groceries were adjusted locally in Henan.

In the evening, he passed through the Hutchison firm, and booked quite a lot of various iron products in the store, from the iron utensils used in kitchen utensils such as shovels and spoons to the forks, rakes and hoes and other agricultural tools have been ordered, and the iron mode of Hutchison is used well, the process is mature, the quality is stable, and it has become the most mainstream ironware in Henan, and the general blacksmith has no brand awareness only by word of mouth The word of mouth is different, and the handle of the Hutchison ironware has obvious "and" words in regular script, and the general people know a few words, and the reputation of the Hutchison ironware is strong and durable, and the reputation of excellent workmanship spreads, Now there are not only no large-scale ironsmiths in Henan, but also those small-scale small workshops of one or two blacksmiths, almost all of which are crowded with Yusheng's ironware.

"It's still more cost-effective to buy this stove in the summer." Shi Congbin is ready to buy twenty iron stoves for heating, this stove is good, burn charcoal for heating, light a stove, the big house is as warm as spring, big clothes can't even be worn, it is very popular in Henan, and it is also a sharp weapon used by Yusheng to make friends with the big guys everywhere, this thing is sold very expensive, and a big businessman like Shi Congbin does not dare to buy more, although it will not smash his hands, but expensive things are sold very slowly, so he can't buy more.

A shopkeeper of He Yusheng said to Shi Congbin: "The contempt business bank also has its own cloth, and the price is thirty percent lower than that of Songjiang cloth. ”

"Oh?" Shi Congbin was very interested and said: "I also do cloth business in Xia, as long as the fabric is not much worse than Songjiang cloth, and the price is low, of course, it is better to import cloth from your number." ”

The shopkeeper smiled: "It's useless to brag in the next, or ask Lord Shi to palm it himself." ”

Shi Congbin followed the shopkeeper to the room where the fabric was placed, there was only one corner of the counter in a large room, and the rest of the walls were lined with shelves to the top, and the fabrics were placed in different grades according to the density and thickness of the yarn, Shi Congbin said as soon as he came in: "I really didn't know that your account also started to buy and sell fabrics, and I knew that this time I wouldn't order in another place." ”
