By the next day, the sign of Ping An finally had a shop hung out, and Jinyiwei didn't seem to have the intention of embarrassing the merchants, and no one interfered with it if they didn't want to buy, and most of the merchants would move around with each other, just like the owner of a Zhang Ji silk shop on the Fire Lane adjacent to Wuma Street, which was made fun of by many people.

The proprietor of Zhang Ji Silk Shop is called Zhang Youling, who is a person from Suzhou, and later came to Jingshi to set up a shop and live here to do business.

In fact, these of them who opened shops, now they have made a fortune one by one, in previous years, the business was a pool of stagnant water, and the people who generally bought silk were some large families, and the business was only so much, no matter how good the luck was, the money was also counted. However, later because of the appearance of the treasure building, coupled with the construction of the road, many people in the suburbs of Beijing will occasionally take a car to Beijing to shop, and when they come to Beijing, they will inevitably buy some things to go back, which has more or less driven some business.

Of course, what really made Zhang Youling's business boom was not those outsiders, after the prosperity of commerce, many people in Beijing had a livelihood, everyone had a monthly salary, some more, some less, and a group of lawyers, accounts and some related management personnel in the workshop, these people's income is not bad, and now they have surplus money, so the demand for goods has increased, so these people have also begun to use silk, and their consumption power is also quite powerful.

In addition, some skilled craftsmen will pull a few pieces of silk back to make a dress at home during the New Year's holidays because their monthly salary is not low, so that they can catch up with fashion.

In just a few years, the demand for silk in Beijing has skyrocketed several times. What's more, some garment shops have a great demand for silk, and at the same time, the price of silk is rising.

Zhang Ji Silk Shop because it is a time-honored brand, in Russia Beijing Division has a little reputation, this Zhang Youling's business is naturally very hot, in the past it was only a few hundred taels of silver, but last year actually earned 1,900 taels of silver, if it was placed two or three years ago, it must be a terrifying profit, but now it is only in this fire alley barely a good business.

The reason why Zhang Youling attracted the laughter of several shop owners next door, the problem was in the face of Zhang Ji's silk shop, yesterday, a clerk came in and tried his best to let him buy a safe brand, he was a little shaken at first, but the clerk repeatedly assured that this was issued by Lian Guogong, a shop like him, as long as he bought a second-class brand, that is, he could hang a peace card by paying 30 taels of silver every month.

Thirty taels a month, nearly four hundred taels of silver a year, this is not a small amount, Zhang Youling refused at first, but then he was confused for a while, thinking that this is a brand issued by the God of Wealth, and it doesn't hurt to buy one, he thought about it in his heart, and it was a ghost who took out thirty taels of silver. As soon as the money arrived in the hands of the scribe, the clerk immediately signed a peace contract with him, the content of the contract is said to have been scrutinized by a special lawyer, after pressing the handprint, a second-class No. 7 wooden sign was hung on the face of the silk shop of Zhang Ji, thirty taels of silver for a wooden card, and at the same time for a wooden whistle, the clerk told him, the whistle can not leave the body, nor can it be blown at will, if it is blown indiscriminately, it is necessary to suspend the card, the so-called suspension is that he has played the thirty taels of silver, but if it really encounters something, Immediately blow the whistle, and someone will solve it for him, no matter what.

When Zhang Youling got the wooden whistle in his hand, he felt a little bitter in his heart, he had a feeling that he seemed to have been cheated by someone, and after so many years of business, this Zhang Youling was very sensitive to this kind of thing.

Thereupon...... On the second day, after everyone saw the mockery of the wooden sign of his Zhang Ji silk shop, Zhang Youling's face suddenly became a little hot, he originally thought that the scribe was a person who came from Jinyiwei, everyone would definitely buy it, who knew that people refused, but he was stupid and stupid on this dang, nearly four hundred taels of silver a year, this is a lot of money, but I don't know if this wooden sign can be returned.

He didn't let the shopkeeper and his buddies look after the store for him, nor did he go out to invite a few good friends to the tea shop for tea, but sat alone behind the counter, sulking uneasily. When the other guys saw him like this, they naturally didn't dare to touch his moldy head, either to solicit business outside the store, or to wipe the tables and chairs in the store.

At noon, a guy brought a post, saying that Liu Dongjia next door invited him to Zuiyun Building to eat, Zhang Youling looked very ugly and knocked his fingers on the counter: "Eat?" What to eat? Go back and tell Liu Dongjia, just say I'm sick, he'll go eat by himself, hey......" He sighed, and then began to look through the account books on the counter again.

At noon, Zhang Youling didn't eat, so that the guys in the store didn't dare to leave, so they had to consume. In the afternoon, a guy who was soliciting business outside hurriedly came in, and said in a panic: "Master, the third master is here, and now he is in the coffin shop on the street......

Hearing Wang Sanye's three words, Zhang Youling seemed to have been stung by a bee, and the whole person was excited, and asked this guy: "Didn't you come in the middle of the month?" There are still two days left, he is very diligent, you go and watch the wind. ”

Liu Sanye is a well-known figure in this area, it is said that this person has a lot of relationships in Shuntian Mansion, and more importantly, this person has always been brave and ruthless, and there are a large number of idlers under him, and now he is notoriously ruthless in this Fire Alley area, he not only runs a gambling house, but also makes a living by collecting money in this Fire Alley area, but the world is like this, some people do business, and some people live by eating people, and this Liu Sanye is a tyrant, the government turns a blind eye to him, and even colludes with him a little, It is said that in the past, someone did not give him money, he burned down people's shops that night, and in the end the government still did not do, only said that it was a fire in the night, and since then, no one dares to offend the third master, and they can only obediently pay for the silver.

Zhang Youling's eyelids jumped, why did bad things always come one after another in the past two days? He looked at the account book uneasily, and then he heard scolding outside, the curtain of the shop was lifted, and a man in his forties stepped in, followed by four or five unorthodox followers, one by one, giggling and laughing, firmly following the man.

Zhang Youling dared to be lazy, and hurriedly went around the counter to salute this man, and said, "The third master is good." ”

Liu Sanye glared at him, slapped his thick palm on the cabinet fiercely, and said slowly: "Zhang Dongjia, I heard that your business has become bigger and bigger recently?" ”

Zhang Youling was so frightened that he only had air in and no breath, he pinched a handful of sweat in his hand, and said busily: "Hongfu of the third master, the business is okay, and he finally didn't starve to death, but if you really want to say anything good, it can't be talked about, there are more people who buy silk now, but many of them are small families, they are reluctant to give up the silver, and they are grinding to lower the price, where can they sell at any good price?" ”

This Liu Sanye was naturally not interested in listening to his business experience, so he pulled a chair, sat on the chair and knocked his legs, squinting at him with his hands crossed: "I don't want to tell you this, and you don't have to tell me about this, are you ready for this month's money?" ”

Zhang Youling felt uncomfortable in his heart, but he had to smile and said with difficulty: "Ready, just wait for the third master to come, this ...... This is ......" Fortunately, many people are trading silver tickets now, Zhang Youling carried a lot of money in his sleeve, he took out a small pile of money from his sleeve, and hurriedly counted the silver tickets of fifty taels of silver to hand it over, but Liu Sanye saw the money he was holding in his other hand, and suddenly bared his teeth and smiled, but he didn't take the money handed over by Zhang Youling, and sneered: "Wait, I have an account to settle with you." ”

Zhang Youling was so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and said obediently: "The third master said that it doesn't matter." ”

Liu Sanye sneered: "Do you know that the price of rice in Jingshi has been getting more and more expensive recently? This year, everything has risen in price, not to mention anything else, the third master went to the Qinglou, and the price of the girl in the Qinglou flop has also risen by one percent, the third master is also going to live, there are so many brothers under the head, and there are still a lot of officials in the government to play a little, to tell the truth, you give me fifty taels a month, and I have to help you take care of the store, so as not to have idle people waiting to find your bad luck, this monthly share of the money, I am afraid that it will rise. ”

"Rising ......" Zhang Youling was stunned for a moment, looked at Liu Sanye in fear, and finally said: "Third master, I am also a small business." ”

Liu Sanye raised his thick eyebrows, hugged his hands and snorted coldly, and the little guy behind him suddenly shouted: "Rotten your dog's mouth, dare to talk to the third master like this, how does the third master take care of you?" Are you doing this to death? ”

"Rise! Rose! Zhang Youling was most afraid of this battle, so he had to grit his teeth and say, "I just don't know how much?" ”

Liu Sanye spread out his hand, and said with a smile: "This number ......"

"Seventy ......" Zhang Youling was stunned, this number is absolutely unacceptable to him, his annual surplus is not two thousand taels, if it is according to the number of Liu Sanye, half of his surplus throughout the year will be given away for nothing, you know, he wants to do more than just Liu Sanye, sometimes, people from Dongchang and Shuntianfu will also come, if it is really sent out, do you want to do this business?

"Third master, this ...... This can't be done, fifty-five, how about fifty-five? The villain is doing a small business, and the third master will take care of it more. ”
