In Yanjing City in July, the weather is a little dry and not like words, leaning on a brand shop in Chaoyangmen, the towering wine flag is very unenergetically pasted on the flagpole, and under the eaves is the shop guy who is dragging a bench and napping, these months, the business of the inn has not been very good. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 infoOriginally, the most customers here were merchants, but now, the merchants are not coming, not because their accommodation is expensive, on the contrary, their prices have fallen to the bottom continuously, but the business is still half-dead, and they can only earn some money by selling some wine.

Business is sluggish, not that there are fewer merchants coming and going in Beijing, as soon as May passes, this year's merchants in Beijing have increased a lot out of thin air, more than double that of previous years, but recently, this treasure building has added another business - accommodation.

Merchants to the capital, always to find a place to live, to find a place to stay, the original everyone also at random to find an inn to live, but now it is different, are to the treasure building of a new place called treasure ' Hotel's stay, in order to save space, the whole Jubao Hotel built seven floors, brick and stone structure, the room is not big, this covers an area of dozens of acres of a large building, there are 500 rooms, it is said that staying in it for one night will cost 500 yuan, a month down, casually also spend 15 taels of silver, but on the contrary, the merchants who are willing to stay here can be said to be eager to stay, and the enthusiasm is undiminished.

Even if you can't find a vacant room in the hotel, you generally rest in the inn near Yingchunfang, businessmen, you have to socialize at any time, someone comes to talk about business, now the businessmen of the whole Beijing division are gathered in Yingchunfang, if the place to stay is far away, it will not only make people look down on it, but also add a lot of inconvenience.

Although businessmen are all picky, if they can do business to a certain extent, they must not be less than any money that should be spent, and not too much money that should not be spent. Doing business is about convenience, living in the Spring Festival Fang at any time you can go to the treasure house to drink tea, talk business with people, sign contracts with people, of course, where close to where to live.

Chaoyangmen has gradually depressed, provoked a lot of shopkeepers to scold, but there are also many people began to look at the Spring Festival, but it is too late, the area of the Spring Festival is not large, but now it is countless business travelers, every inch of land is gold, a palm-sized land, there are hundreds of taels of silver to buy, it is said that if you want to rent a door to do business, you will need three hundred taels of silver a month, and in the past, when Chaoyangmen was the most lively, it was only seventy taels of silver.

The decline of Chaoyangmen, and the rise of Yingchun Fang, everyone is in the eyes, that Yingchun Fang every year in and out of the businessmen there are hundreds of thousands, the merchants from the south to the north are constantly looking for buyers, sellers, and even many businessmen do not even go to the goods, but the whole day soaked in the treasure building, staring at the price of change at any time to start trading.

This business is very new, in fact, it is also very simple, such as raw silk, the price of raw silk with the annual harvest, supply and demand and various natural disasters in various places will change at any time, maybe today is a trickle of raw silk is three or four dollars of silver, after a few days, suddenly popular, suddenly rose to three or six dollars, don't look at only two dollars of business, but if it is a large number of acquisitions, the profit here is not small, maybe a few days of hard work to change hands can earn thousands of taels of silver.

Therefore, many businessmen saw this business opportunity, so every time they were in the treasure building, they stared at the price changes, what goods price decreased, they immediately bought on a large scale, and when the price rose, they did not hesitate to clear the warehouse. There are not a few businessmen who do this, but it also promotes a certain amount of market prosperity.

Think about it, some goods because of a moment of price plummeting, businessmen to transport the goods, no one cares for a while, the goods can not get off the hand, naturally is anxious to jump, after all, for the goods of the merchants, circulation is the most important, the faster the goods circulate in their own hands, even if the profit is meager, at least there is a profit. But once it rots in your hands, it's inevitable that you will be a little overwhelmed.

But now, as long as the goods arrive, someone will receive them, and the merchants who receive the goods are no longer simply used to process or distribute the goods to various shops, but temporarily hoarded and sold them when the market is good.

There is no time for the merchants to go to the goods, but the merchants who transfer the goods have time, everyone complements each other, so that the circulation of goods is accelerated by a few points, as long as the goods enter the Beijing Division, they can be sold immediately, and the merchants no longer have to bargain, but continue to transport the goods.

In this way, it has greatly stimulated the business of Yingchun Fang, the members of the treasure house have increased to 300,000, this number is still growing wildly, because although the interests of the business have not increased too much, but the risk is minimized, which makes many landlords and squires began to be red-eyed, in the past, the squires had a high status, and the status of the merchants was low, so the squires inevitably had some sense of superiority, but now the status of the merchants has gradually stabilized, especially the merchants who have obtained the membership of the treasure building, Faintly also began to be protected by the government, if the government took people at will, there would naturally be a trading house or a treasure building to negotiate with the government, and this status naturally rose.

In the past, although the merchants earned more than the squire, but the risk was also huge, which called only seeing the thief eating meat, never seeing the thief beaten, the bitterness of the merchant and the goods is difficult for ordinary people to understand, and the squire is different, the squire bought the land, although the income is small, but the risk is also low. It's just that now it's different, the risk of the merchant who takes the goods has reached the point of negligibility, unless the luck is bad, as long as you are willing to produce and transport, there will be profits.

As a result, many squires began to try to let their children do business, and the number of merchants suddenly surged a lot. A large number of businessmen appeared, naturally there will be a large number of helpers, craftsmen, after all, the goods are to be man-made, the raw silk workshop, silk workshop, as well as porcelain, ironware, in addition to fur, tea has also begun to increase, the rise of the workshop, but also led to the prosperity of some textile machinery industry, and even in Jiangnan, there has been a special manufacture of various looms, iron furnaces, wire drawing machines and other wood workshops, as a result, a large number of craftsmen, apprentices have also become in demand, the price of wages has risen, a large number of tenants no longer renew the lease of land, and went to the city to look for opportunities, which made the squires in the countryside have to raise the wages of the tenants, and the interests of the squires and landlords were greatly damaged.

The rise in wages hastened the circulation of commodities to a certain extent, and people have spare money in their hands, of course, they will inevitably buy some things, and things that they could not afford to use in the past can be used at this time.

And the core of all this revolves around Yingchun Fang, and this piece of land has become the core of this change.

Liu Chengfeng had already landed here a few days ago and returned to Beijing. This little marquis, who is dominating in Guangxi, seems to be a little disgraced, as if the entire capital has forgotten his existence, there is no movement in the palace, there is no movement in the imperial court, and even the Beizhen Mansion seems to be regarded as not having this person, only Lao Huo and Wang Si came to greet him.

Boarding the boat, seeing the great changes in the Spring Festival, Liu Chengfeng couldn't help but stay for a while, this trip to Guangxi lasted four months, more than four months, the changes in the Spring Festival Fang made Liu Chengfeng a little unacceptable, he was full of interest, but he ignored the neglect he received, after landing on the shore in the Spring Festival Fang circle, here, Liu Chengfeng can deeply feel the spirit of all people, the kind of pedestrians are in a hurry, the street is full of people, all the faces are with a bit of urgency, very flavorful.

Leaning on the river is a brick and stone house, all six or seven floors high, square, no decoration at all, Liu Chengfeng knows, this kind of house will be popular sooner or later, the land price of Yingchun Fang is too expensive, any businessman, if he has a piece of land in his hand, are reluctant to make any small bridge and flowing water here, make that kind of huge eaves of the door, only square, try to use the land, with bricks and stones to pile up the house higher, in order to better use the value of the land.

Liu Chengfeng took people to Jubaolou for a turn, and then went to the hundred households to take a trip, only to be satisfied, back to Wen's mansion, now Lianzhou Hou's mansion in Beijing has been built, but has not moved over, I am afraid that it will be some time later, with the mansion in, Liu Chengfeng is not in a hurry, and returned to the Wen family to see Wen Zheng, naturally to see his wife.

Xiao Biesheng is newly married, I haven't seen him for a few months, but the relationship between Liu Chengfeng and Wen Chenxi has increased a lot, anyway, the court and the palace don't want to see him, he doesn't have any real job now, just an empty thousand households, so Liu Chengfeng asked for a surname to calm down and get tired of being at home.

At the same time, Mr. Zhao has been sent to the Beizhen Mansion for interrogation, and the confession has been obtained, and King Jingjiang's guilt is confirmed, although the palace has not yet been released, but the outcome must be predictable.

In the past few days, no one has visited, no one cares, first made Liu Chengfeng a little depressed, no matter what, he is also the Marquis of Lianzhou, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, more or less a figure with a head and a face, but this time he came back as if he had been forgotten, it was really uncomfortable.

It's July, and the weather is hot and dry, but it's happy to stay at home and rest.
