Chapter 110 Salaries and Taxes II

Of course, Zhu Shunming is not easy to get along with.

The strike of Huangzhou businessmen is actually the situation that Zhu Shunming wants to see.

Ye Zongqing, the prefect of Huangzhou, was non-violent and non-cooperative, so that Zhu Shunming's policy was not implemented smoothly from the legal level.

Zhu Shunming had no choice but to find another way, starting from the army's training and salary, and set up a gold bureau to collect taxes.

Zhu Shunming expected that the merchants of Huangzhou would definitely rebel.

For businessmen who dare to resist violently, Zhu Shunming will certainly not be soft. Is there still a violent military organization in the world? What's more, it is Zhu Shunming, a fierce army that has experienced the test of blood and fire.

As for the businessmen's strike...... Zhu Shunming just needed an opportunity to cut into the Huangzhou market. Since the merchants of Huangzhou took the initiative to withdraw, Zhu Shunming was not polite.

Seven days after the Huangzhou merchants went on strike, while the citizens were complaining, a shop on the south side of Cross Avenue near Bao'en Temple opened.

The large plaques of the shops are draped in bright red satin. In the sound of firecrackers, the gong and drum team, dragon and lion dance teams began to be active, and the high platform on one side began to perform singing, dancing and opera.

The bored citizens of Huangzhou heard the excitement, and they all ran to Nancheng to enjoy the performance without money. Not long after, a large number of elated people gathered at the door of the shop, and even Zhong Dingxiang and other merchants couldn't resist their curiosity and went to find out in person.

On the high stage, the performance of Huayun Opera Club was reaching a wonderful point, winning the applause of the lively people in the audience.

On the stage, She Miaohua jumped and spun lightly, and her graceful figure appeared from the wide skirt from time to time, which caused Zhu Shunming to be horny.

Seeing Zhu Shunming admiring his dancing in the audience, She Miaohua danced more energetically, and from time to time a provocative look was thrown at Zhu Shunming. Zhu Shunming replied with a "you wait" look, which made She Miaohua chuckle lightly, and her little face turned crimson.

In the middle of the morning, Li Yuncai bowed and asked Zhu Shunming to personally lift the red silk on the plaque, and the four golden characters of "Jiu'an Supermarket" shone in the sun.

Through the open door, you can see the neatly arranged shelves, a dazzling array of goods, and neatly dressed clerks in the supermarket.

Seeing the massive amount of goods, the people who were troubled by the merchant's strike poured into the supermarket and visited it.

"That's a lot ...... things"

"Wow, that's so cheap......"

"Great......"

"Man, man, weigh me ten pounds ...... these the same."

In the era of material shortage, anyone who sees so many goods will have a surge in their desire to buy, not to mention that the prices of things in Jiu'an supermarket are very affordable.

Zhong Dingxiang and other businessmen walked into the supermarket, and after carefully checking the goods and prices, they all blushed and worried.

A supermarket covering an area of four or five acres, with all kinds of goods. Rice, white flour, meat, salt, sugar, sweets, cloth, silk, garments, shoes and socks, needlework and thread, gouache...... Covering all aspects of daily necessities.

Didn't the strike of the merchants in Huangzhou just give way to the market? Once Jiu'an Supermarket has gained a firm foothold in Huangzhou, won't local businessmen have a hard time in the future?

………………

In the backyard of the Yamen of the General Army, after a big battle, She Miaohua was paralyzed and snuggled in Zhu Shunming's arms, not even wanting to move a finger, enjoying the fullness and warmth between husband and wife.

"Master, you are getting worse and worse, and you are actually doing this to others." She Miaohua recovered her vitality and began to be unrelenting, writhing and coquettish.

"Oh, no...... Don't ......"

Zhu Shunming was not happy, and was teased by She Miaohua, and it was suddenly another big battle.

The candlelight flickered, the spring was in full swing, and the air was filled with the smell of spring.

………………

Zhu Shunming was transparent, and She Miaohua was also ruddy, radiant, and radiant.

Waiting for Zhu Shunming to get dressed, She Miaohua smiled and said, "Master, when will we move together?" The concubine will see you every day. ”

Zhu Shunming was noncommittal and asked, "Is the house good?" ”

"It's all good. Sister Wei is fair, and everyone listens to her; Sister Ruyu was so busy that she became thinner; Lotus Rong is mysterious all day long, full of energy, and I don't know what to do; Yuanyuan has become more beautiful, and every time he takes the stage, he doesn't have to open his mouth, and he will usher in a huge cheer, which fascinates those men...... The master should find a chance to take her! ”

"The old lady spends all day at the farm, and rarely goes home; Several old ladies chanted scriptures and worshiped Buddha all day long, and from time to time chanted in the ears of several concubines...... Talk over...... Why haven't I ever been pregnant? ”

Speaking of heirs, Zhu Shunming was stunned.

Chongzhen has been married for four years, and now Chongzhen has been seven years old, why are Zhu Shunming's wives and concubines not pregnant? Zhu Shunming was also a little worried.

Although Zhu Shunming is only the general army of Huguang, the power he controls openly and secretly is already very huge.

There is no successor to the superior, which is a huge hidden danger for an emerging force.

It's time to find a doctor and take a good look. Zhu Shunming planned to wait until the situation calmed down, take his family to Huangzhou, and take the issue of the heir seriously.

"Master, there is something I have to tell you, the little county lord of the Qianguo Mansion...... I'm getting sick......"

Mu Jianping, the little county lord, married away at a young age, was lost, unaccustomed to the soil and water, and the wind and cold, and fell ill before he reached the Zhu Mansion.

Li Cuiwei settled the little county lord and asked the doctor to treat her, so that she could be served, and she only hung her breath. The little county lord, this flower bone that has not yet bloomed, is about to wither.

"What did the doctor say?" Zhu Shunming definitely has no love for the little county lord, but he still has a sense of responsibility.

"The doctor said that the main thing is the heart knot." She Miaohua peeked at Zhu Shunming and said angrily: "If I also have a knot." The lord married her home, but he didn't even see her. Those who know say that the master is busy, and those who don't know think that the master has an opinion on her. At a young age, he is a county lord, but he marries someone as a concubine, and everyone is wronged......"

………………

She Miaohua stayed in Huangzhou to take care of Zhu Shunming's daily life and diet, lest Zhu Shunming bring back an inexplicable woman.

Zhu Shunming has a history of bringing back strange women from the outside.

When he first arrived in Chengbu, Zhu Shunming clashed with the local natives, and as a result, he brought back the two sisters She Miaohua.

Later, in the Yangzhou business war, he brought back a little Lori with bright eyes and bright teeth.

went to the southwest and actually got back a genuine little county lord.

Miao Ren, Little Lori, and Little County Lord are not suitable candidates for concubines in Li Cuiwei's mind.

Therefore, taking advantage of this opportunity, Li Cuiwei sent She Miaohua to Zhu Shunming's side, first, to take care of Zhu Shunming, and secondly, to prevent Zhu Shunming from provoking strange women again.

………………

As soon as Jiu'an Supermarket opened, business has been booming, and a trend has gradually formed, but anyone who has never bought anything in the supermarket will be ridiculed.

Soon, merchants from Changsha opened a variety of shops near the Jiu'an supermarket, filling the market gap left by the Huangzhou merchants' strike.

In the past, the vicinity of the desolate and dilapidated Bao'en Temple suddenly became the new commercial center of Huanggang County.

Zhu Ciyan, the king of Jing, received the letter from King Ji of Changsha Mansion, and gasped after reading it.

King Jing was trapped in Qizhou, unaware of Zhu Shunming's ferocity and the strength of his army. King Ji brought Zhu Shunming's past one by one and pointed out that he should not be an enemy of Zhu Shunming.

“…… He is called a vassal king, but he is actually a prisoner, trapped in a city, and settled in a corner. The world is in chaos, and you and I are the first to bear the brunt. Why don't you befriend the generals and seek refuge in times of chaos......"

The Liukou plundered in Huangzhou, and King Jing's farms were affected and suffered great losses. If the rogue comes again...... Ruoliukou captured Qizhou...... Zhu Ciyan didn't dare to imagine.

King Jing personally wrote a letter asking Zhong Dingxiang to obey Zhu Shunming's management and not act willfully.

Zhong Dingxiang wanted to compromise for a long time, but there were no steps, so it was difficult to bow his head. Now King Jing's letter gave Zhong Dingxiang a good reason.

All kinds of shops of the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce opened their doors one by one, and they took the initiative to go to the Development Department to apply for business licenses and pay salaries, which can be regarded as summing.

Although the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce resumed normal operations, it was difficult to regain the lost market, Zhong Dingxiang's reputation plummeted, and the Huangzhou Chamber of Commerce became a real existence.
