Miss Yan lowered her head, but felt that there was silence around her, and thought to herself that when the person said porcelain, he was obviously an elegant person who knew porcelain, why did she ask this herself, but she didn't answer!

boldly looked up, but found that a tall young man on the opposite side was looking at him blankly, this young man was also dressed as a civilian, with a good face and some stubble on his chin, but looking at this appearance, how can he not be linked to the word elegant, and the official lady who has not left the cabinet is already very unacceptable to ask the man boldly.

Seeing a young man who was about the same age as himself staring at him so boldly, he was slightly stunned, Li Mengneng saw that the girl was turning red from her neck to her cheeks, Miss Yan screamed softly, turned around and hurriedly entered the courtyard.

The shopkeeper of the porcelain shop over there kept twisting his neck, and he didn't turn around until the young lady left, and saw that Li Meng was still staring directly at the door of the courtyard, and sighed in his heart, inspecting Li Erlang and Master Zhizhou, I can't afford to offend anyone, so don't look at it like that.

Hearing someone coughing behind him, Li Meng reacted, and his face was a little hot for a while, what he did just now was really embarrassing, and he was embarrassed to stay longer, and said to the shopkeeper of the porcelain shop to come and get the goods in a month, and turned his head and walked out of the store.

Jining Prefecture is the last hub before the Grand Canal enters the North Zhili, and it is the largest city near the intersection of Henan, South Zhili and Shandong provinces, which is the largest and most prosperous city in Shandong since the beginning of the Ming Dynasty, even more than the city of Jinan, and the yamen of the river governor is also located here.

There are many shops, inns, inns, green buildings, and restaurants in Jining, and the cargo ships and merchants from the south to the north have brought endless business opportunities and wealth to the city.

Many Ming people's notes mention: Jining's wealth is not inferior to Jiangnan.

Zhishi's retired high-ranking officials, wealthy businessmen from all over the country, as well as the river yamen, and the Shandong Yanzheng yamen are all located in Jining City, and these people are all rich people with thousands of dollars in money and a luxurious life. Since he is a rich man, all the details of life are extremely exquisite, just as modern rich people pay attention to the origin and environmental protection of nature, which is higher than that used by ordinary people. These rich people in the Ming Dynasty were also well-demanded.

This is not only the habit of rich people in Jining, the north and south of Beijing, the provincial capitals, as well as the Jiangnan Susongchang, Hangjiahu, the people in these places, are because of the late Ming Dynasty industry and commerce prosperity brought huge wealth, consumption habits have become very close to the modern times.

For example, the salt used to clean teeth pays attention to the refined salt from Shaanxi, Gansu and Qinghai, and its name is green salt, but the eight battalions of the king and the general are crisscrossed between Shaanxi, Shanxi, Henan, and Sichuan, and the imperial army is either surrounded or followed by it, fighting stainless steel, in this case, not to mention the merchants, even pedestrians, and the specialties of Shaanxi and the Western Regions cannot enter the interior of the Central Plains.

Logistics is cut off, and the prices of goods coming over there are skyrocketing, such as sheepskin, wool felt and green salt.

The green salt on the market in Jining is about to enter the wax moon, has risen to one or two silver pounds, which can only be bought by powerful people in familiar warehouses, and at the same time, refined salt from almost the same effect is also sold, but it is not sold at a price.

I don't know who said that rich people need a way to show their wealth, starting in September of the sixth year of Chongzhen, when the rich get together with each other, there are always people intentionally or unintentionally mentioning that they are rinsing their mouths with green salt, and pretending to be knowledgeable and said:

"This green salt is the freshness and refreshment of Biru salt!"

If you say this, if you don't use this salt to clean your mouth, you won't dare to open your mouth, of course, the real powerful and rich families don't disdain to show off like this, but the housekeeper keeps a close eye on the family members who buy it, and he must buy green salt.

In fact, it is also very simple to fake this thing, but every household buys and buys, they are staring at each other, and whoever cheats will inevitably be shaken out by others. In fact, how much green salt is left on the market, who is it, everyone is thinking clearly, anyway, sooner or later it will be used up for a day.

This is a crooked atmosphere, even the pharmacies and doctors in Jining City regard this green salt as a necessary medicine to refresh and calm their minds, and when prescribing medicine, they also specially tell the patient "You must use green salt, if it is Huai salt or Lu salt, it will not work."

After entering the wax moon, the news came out from the Meng shopkeeper of the Wenru Commercial Bank in Jining City, saying that it was Henan Governor Xuan Mo and Shanxi Governor Dai Junen who attacked the thieves before and after, intercepted a batch of anti-thief stolen goods in September, and sold them on the spot and were bought by a businessman and transported to Shandong.

As soon as this news came out, the price of green salt in Jining City suddenly fell by three percent, and everyone was very convinced that the shopkeeper of this Wenru firm was very convinced, although he did not know what the background was, but he had never been embarrassed by the government, and many news could be obtained in the first time, and it must have been very simple behind it.

On the fifth day of the lunar month, the ship arrived at the wharf, early in the morning, the shopkeepers of the various commercial houses were waiting there, Jining here is also a thoroughfare, the big merchants of Jingshi and Nanzhili are set up here, and now the Central Plains is chaotic, this green salt is also out of stock in other places, and whether it is Huai salt or Changlu salt, salt merchants are not willing to spend more effort to boil refined salt, feel that it takes too much effort, since there are not many substitutes, it is better to buy and sell these original green salt at a high price.

Therefore, this business has both local and foreign business branches.

More than a dozen cargo ships slowly docked, seeing such a large fleet, there was already a shopkeeper who asked his buddies to run back to the store to reduce the price of the green salt in his store, so many green salt and salt goods, the price on the market will definitely fall.

At the bow of the ship stood a tall man, wearing the color of the battle jacket of the general manager, and the man saw the Meng shopkeeper of Wenru Firm, and the ship had not yet stopped, so he bowed down and saluted, and shouted loudly:

"Shopkeeper Meng, I have to rely on you to take care of me more this time!"

A mouthful of northern official dialect, the shopkeeper has that fine, and he believes a point or two in his heart, at this time, suddenly Qingyan came over, if it weren't for the fact that this Meng shopkeeper is highly respected and has some weight in his words, I am afraid that these people would have thought it was a fake, but looking at the officer at the bow, it was really the person next to Xuan Mo.
