Chapter 756: Spending Money Like Dirt
Zhang Zhijie is not a stranger to Linqing City, he once met Qi Yanming and Chu Chu here, no one could have imagined that fate would be entangled, and finally a great war broke out that shook the Ming Dynasty.
The past is like a cloud of smoke, but when the old place is revisited, it is often embarrassing. Qi Yanming, a well-known green forest hero; Chu Chu, a spoiled tsundere willful girl; Siniang, a strong, smart and resolute strange woman, they have all drowned in the torrent of fate.
The mighty fleet docked at Linqing one after another, and the dragon flag fluttering on Emperor Zhengde's ship, as well as the flag of Jinyiwei fluttering everywhere, discouraged all the people on the dock. Dense brocade guards poured down from the boat, and the originally bustling and lively Linqing Wharf became deserted.
Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde quietly appeared on the dock in regular clothes, Liu Ji and Ziyi and Yiye who were supported by Ziyi followed behind, and Bai Yulan and Gao Yong followed closely with more than a dozen Jinyi guards.
Leaving the dock and stepping into the small city, Emperor Zhengde looked around excitedly and sighed: "I didn't expect a small city in Linqing to be so prosperous!" ”
"Relying on the Grand Canal, there are more merchants coming and going from the south to the north, and it is gradually prospering!" Zhang Zhijie said with a smile, "Actually, this kind of prosperity is a bit deformed, mostly some shops and restaurants and the like!" We've been on the boat for so long, we must be tired of eating, let's go, go eat something else! ”
Although this Linqing City is not big, it is also prosperous, and there are many high-grade restaurants, but what can be seen is Linqing Xiaozhu, Zhang Zhijie has been here twice, although it is not as good as the famous buildings in Beijing, but it is not bad!
After all, it is the most upscale restaurant in Linqing City, the environment is quiet, and it is not hot. Zhang Zhijie and his party immediately attracted everyone's attention after they walked in, and they were really too eye-catching!
But Zhang Zhijie doesn't care, anyone can see that they are not easy to mess with! Moreover, this place is not far from the wharf, as long as an arrow is lifted into the air, it can easily pull thousands of people, and it is more than enough to conquer the small city of Linqing.
asked for a private room by the window, Zhang Zhijie took Emperor Zhengde, who was looking around, and walked in first! The shopkeeper personally followed his men in, and he had already seen that this group of people definitely had a great background.
"Miss Childe, I don't know what you want to eat? The small shop sits on the Grand Canal, and there are all kinds of delicacies from the north and south! The shopkeeper laughed.
Zhang Zhijie looked at Emperor Zhengde, Emperor Zhengde looked indifferent, Zhang Zhijie turned his head and smiled: "What is good at it!" Wine is the best, too! ”
"This son, although the small shop is not as good as some famous buildings, but because it relies on the Grand Canal to take care of the merchants from the south to the north, there are too many dishes to be good at! I don't know which bite Childe prefers? The shopkeeper laughed.
"Don't be afraid of more! Even though it is! Zhang Zhijie said proudly.
After hearing this, the shopkeeper couldn't help but smack his mouth, the merchants who came and went from the south to the north had seen a lot, and it was the first time he had seen such a spendthrift of money!
"Childe, if you want to go on the whole thing, there will be hundreds of dishes, these are all signature dishes, and they will cost about three or four thousand taels of silver in total!" The shopkeeper still couldn't help but remind.
"Long-winded! Just let you get on it! Let them order their own two tables outside! Zhang Zhijie scolded with a smile.
When the shopkeeper's fart was gone, Ziyi couldn't help but smack his tongue and persuaded: "Zhijie, there are only a few of us, how can we eat hundreds of dishes?" Why spend so much silver? ”
Three or four thousand taels of silver for a meal, Ziyi was very distressed when she heard it, and now she has regarded herself as Zhang Zhijie's little daughter-in-law, and this flower of silver is almost the same as her own!
As a result, Zhang Zhijie didn't say anything, and Emperor Zhengde had already smiled and said: "Purple girl, don't worry, the silver earned by Zhijie can't be spent in a few lifetimes, don't worry!" It's just a few thousand taels of silver! ”
Zhang Zhijie smiled when he heard this: "Your Majesty, don't you report this meal?" The big head is for you to take, and the minister's family also has a big business, and the east wall is demolished to make up the west wall in a year, and there is not a few silver left! ”
Emperor Zhengde almost vomited blood when he heard this, it was true that he took the big head himself, but he was really a great family, right?
Ziyi heard it and felt right, although Zhang Zhijie may have earned a lot of silver, but the expenses are also large! Maybe there's not a lot of silver left!
Emperor Zhengde said depressedly: "You can easily get hundreds of thousands of taels of silver a year, and you still have to pick up so much when you invite me to eat?" ”
Ziyi's mouth opened wide in surprise when she heard this, it was really hard for her to imagine what a concept of hundreds of thousands of taels of silver was! Looking at the appearance of Emperor Zhengde, it doesn't look like a fake!
Zhang Zhijie hurriedly cried and said: "Your Majesty, exaggerated, exaggerated!" But don't worry, your majesty, today is to smash the pot and sell iron, and you have to invite the emperor to dinner! At the end, Zhang Zhibeat's chest thumped.
Emperor Zhengde was a little dumbfounded when he heard this, no one robbed you of your silver, as for crying poor? Immediately, I was a little suspicious, I don't know if I really didn't save my family, right?
Liu Ji looked at Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde raising the bar there, and couldn't help but purse her lips, she liked this atmosphere very much, Zhang Zhijie and Emperor Zhengde really didn't look like monarchs and ministers when they were together in private, but more like good friends and good brothers!
Ziyi was a little puzzled, I don't know which of the two said it was true and who said it was false! Seeing that Ziyi and Yiye were a little puzzled, Liu Ji smiled and pulled the two of them and whispered, "Sister Yiye, Sister Zi, don't worry!" Listening to Admiral Zhang's nonsense, his family background is thick, you have to spend it when you pass the door, let alone a few lifetimes, even dozens of lifetimes can't be spent! ”
Yiye and Ziyi couldn't help but blush when they heard this, Ziyi was even more sensitive, and thought that they knew everything about themselves and Zhang Zhijie, so they stammered shyly: "Who, who wants to pass through the door!" ”
"Oops, my two sisters and I have nothing to hide! I'm going to marry into the leopard house when I return to Beijing, I'm just a small family, and I don't know many friends, and I have a lot of friends along the way, and I hope to come and go with the two sisters often in the future, and save me from being lonely in Beijing! Liu Ji chuckled.
It just so happened that Ziyi and Yiye still had some inexplicable fear of Jingli, and they were happy when they heard Liu Ji's words, the three of them were all from the grassroots, with kind personalities, and they did get along very well along the way.
Just when the three girls were whispering, Emperor Zhengde looked outside, and the place not far away looked very lively.
Emperor Zhengde couldn't help asking, "Zhijie, what kind of place is there?" It looks so lively! ”
Zhang Zhijie glanced at the purple-clothed women, and saw that they didn't pay attention, so he whispered: "Your Majesty, there are brothels and gambling houses over there!" ”
