In the early years of the Chu Dynasty, the capital was built on the basis of the capital of the Yuan Dynasty, and the palace city and the inner city were built at first, and nine gates such as Zhengyang Gate were set up. So, after two dynasties, the outer city was built in addition to the inner city. Compared with the many powerful and wealthy families in the inner city, most of the merchants who traveled between the north and the south lived in the outer city, while most of the guild halls in the thirteen provinces of the north and south were built on the front line of Qianmen Street in the outer city. Every triennial spring, the provincial halls gather the elite of scholars from the south to the north, and Qianmen Street naturally becomes more and more lively.

After looking at the yellow list on Qipan Street, Chen Lan, Chen Yan and Su Wan'er walked out of Zhengyangmen and walked slowly along Qianmen Street. Although it is slightly worse than the market entrance of Qipan Street, it is also a first-class prime location in Beijing, and the Yangning Hou Mansion has a total of three shops on this street with a total of ten rooms, but it is not so much the public property of the Hou Mansion as the private property of the Zhu family, so she should be appointed by herself to take care of it, and others cannot interfere at all.

At this moment, Chen Lan's car stopped in front of a silk village with a golden signboard. She took the hat from Hongluo's hand, turned her head to look at Su Wan'er, and saw that she was still a little distraught, so she said, "If Cousin Wan'er doesn't want to get out of the car, you might as well rest here, and I'll keep the family to guard nearby." ”

Su Wan'er was thinking about what her eldest brother would do in the future when she only won the same jinshi, so she smiled when she heard Chen Lan's words: "Thank you third sister, I won't go in, just rest here for a while." ”

Chen Lan nodded, put on the hat first, and waited for Hongluo and Tian to get out of the car first, then she got out of the car and stepped on the pedals to get out of the car. Because the sharp-eyed guy in the inner middle saw that there was a mark on the car of the Hou Mansion of Yangning, and it was Chen Rui who took the lead, so the shopkeeper in the inner middle had already hurriedly greeted him, and learned that it was the third lady and the fourth young master of the Hou Mansion who came together, and everyone was even more nervous, and hurriedly welcomed the person to the room on the second floor of the inner courtyard to receive distinguished guests, and picked up a good tea brew, leaving only the shopkeeper and the account manager to accompany him.

Originally, Zheng's mother said that she went out to fight the front station first, but the Zhu family left her, so Chen Lan was a little less troublesome. Seeing that the shopkeeper pointed to a stack of account books with a smile on his face, saying whether he wanted to check the accounts according to the old practice, Chen Lan smiled and immediately waved his hand: "You are all people who have been used in the house for many years, I just came to see it on the order of the old lady. ”

The affairs of the house, the shopkeeper of the Zhuangzi in the outer shop have also heard of it, and naturally knows that Chen Lan, the granddaughter of the long house, is now the most favored by the old lady. Seeing her this time, the shopkeeper and steward of Yueji Silk Village thought that this young lady wanted to get involved in the industry with her favor, but she didn't expect Chen Lan to look at the high account books, but she said such a thing. So, the two glanced at each other, and the shopkeeper bent down with a smile: "If the third lady has any orders, just show them." ”

"After the imperial court ordered His Royal Highness the King of Jin and the third uncle to go to Xuanfu to investigate, what is the current situation of the shops in the various mansions on Qianmen Street?"

Chen Lan opened his mouth and asked directly about this stubble, and the shopkeeper's heart jumped, and then he replied cautiously: "Is the third lady asking about the business these days, or ......?"

Knowing that all the people who can be the shopkeeper are the people who have accumulated years, Chen Lan will not beat around the bush, so he asked bluntly: "I am asking, after the defeat of the Marquis of Dongchang, the line to the north was naturally broken, did the mansion directly invest the money in it before, or the goods directly supplied to them in the shop?" If it's the latter, is there a backlog in the store today? What is the situation of the shops in other provinces on Qianmen Street, the Korean government of Quang Ninh Bo and even the industries of Runing Bok? ”

The words are penetrated to this point, where is there anything that the shopkeeper and the account keeper do not understand. But when it comes to understanding, they are all surprised. Knowing that they couldn't ask whether it was the third lady's own question, or the old lady's order, they had to be more careful. The tent manager even glanced at Chen Yan secretly, and then coughed lightly.

"Back to the third lady, our family originally invested money in the store in Dongchang Houfu, but later because Jiangnan silk and silk are easy to sell, and the purchase price is cheap, we buy directly from there and then resell it to the store in Dongchang Houfu. Since the previous big change, whether it is our family or the shops in the rest of the houses, they have been cautious in doing business, and they have stopped interacting with that side for a long time. It's just that, after all, there were too many backlogs of goods before, such as our Yueji, just before that time, there were 5,000 horses from Jiangnan Ding's Hangzhou Silk Su Silk, and they didn't have time to ship...... And in the next few months, there will be some ships coming over one after another, and if it is calculated according to the purchase of three taels of silver according to a horse of high-quality material, at least fifteen thousand taels will have to be pressed, and the rest will ......"

When the account manager said this, he couldn't help but pause, and seeing that Chen Lan did not show displeasure, he cautiously continued: "As for the rest of the backlog and deficit, etc., by the end of the year, our old store, which has a balance of around 20,000 taels every year, is only afraid of a deficit of 20,000 taels." It's just that our family is quite good, and we haven't invested too much, such as the Korean government of Guangningpao, which has to be even bigger. As for Runingbo's Mansion, in the end, it was originally far away from us, but it didn't have much impact, but there was only one gold and silver shop in this Qianmen Street in Nafu, and the most thing to do was to put money in prints, and there were deaths before. ”

The land of wind and moon, gold and silver shops, silk and satin villages, and printing money - these are the four major industries that everyone in Beijing knows to make the most money. However, after all, the land of wind and moon is a place that was strictly forbidden at the beginning of the dynasty, and although there are many people who love to walk in the horse and zhangtai, no one wants to be associated with this meat seller. What the silk village wants is to have a foundation in the south of the Yangtze River and be able to contact the source of goods at any time.

As for the gold and silver shop and the Yinzi money, they are connected together, as far as Chen Lan knows, the gold and silver shop is the money bank with a different name, and the Yinzi money is a usury. It is reasonable to say that the Lord's House opened a gold and silver shop in the Lord's House, but it is appalling that the gold and silver shops are used to store the money of the seal. Therefore, she thought for a moment, and then asked again; "Then the murder case of Runingbo Mansion that handed over the note to Shuntian Mansion has now ended?"

As Chen Lan, as the daughter of the Hou Mansion, he actually knew these things, and the shopkeeper and steward didn't feel strange now. After all, this is the business of Runingbo's Mansion, and it is not to criticize his own master, so the shopkeeper is bolder, because he said with a smile: "If there are not one or two murders because of the money in Yinzi, how can the master behind it be implicated." Runing Bo Mansion was unlucky, and it happened that Yin Gang of Shuntian Mansion was replaced by the iron-faced Liu who was transferred from the left deputy capital Yu Shi Ren, and then he was unlucky. When handing over the note, it is said that the iron-faced Liu was furious, and later he still didn't know where to intercede, and the iron-faced Liu had just been transferred to the governor of Xuanda before the month, so he pressed the matter, and only the Runingbo Mansion also made a big joke. ”

Chen Lan secretly kept all this in his heart, and asked a lot of other things casually. After all, she had a lot of experience in the past, and a hammer in the east and a stick in the west made the two people who had accumulated years unbearable, and in the end, she looked at Chen Yan next to her and said, "Fourth brother, what else do you have to ask them?" ”

The old rules of the Hou Mansion, the masters occasionally go to the Zhuangzi shop outside, even if it is not as serious as the inspection at home, but there are all kinds of filial piety, so last night Chen Yan heard about this from the dew drop spring rain, and he thought about whether he could even out some benefits this time, and the sisters and brothers would be able to have more private rooms in the future. However, when he sat next to Chen Lan and listened to her ask so many questions, he had already completely forgotten the initial little abacus, and at this time Chen Lan asked twice before he reacted.

"What do I have to ask...... Chen Yan was going to be confused, seeing that Chen Lan's eyes seemed to have some other meaning, he couldn't help but groan, and only asked the shopkeeper for a long time, "Wait, you just said that you have to lose at least 15,000 taels this year, which means that this year's profits can't be sent?" If this is the case this year, what about next year? ”

At this moment, not only the shopkeeper and the steward were surprised, but even Chen Lan couldn't help but be surprised, but then nodded approvingly at Chen Yan. Chen Yan received the encouragement of his sister, so he naturally became more confident, and without waiting for the two to answer, he asked again: "Xuanda's business is completely broken, according to your statement, this was the biggest source of wealth for this silk village in the past, but it will have to be replanned in the future." Do you have any plans for the future, and if you don't plan to make up for the deficit every year, it's over? ”

It's March and it's spring, and the room is already warm, so the fine beads of sweat on the heads of the shopkeeper and the bookkeeper are not so inconspicuous. If it was Zheng's mother or Zheng's steward, since they had dealt with each other a lot, they would always have a way to deal with it, but now these two people are the first time, and the identities are completely different, after racking their brains for a while, the shopkeeper finally mobilized his stiff cheeks and showed a smile.

"Back to the fourth young master, this thing came suddenly, and I really haven't come up with any other good way for a while. The silk villages in the capital, from top to medium, there are no less than seventeen or eighteen on Qipan Street and Qianmen Street alone, plus the Dengshikou and several other downtown towns, to say the least, there are eighty hundred. Although our family is a time-honored brand and the background is hard, it may not be able to really outperform others. When the younger one and the rest of the people discuss the charter together, they must understand and report to the old lady and the third young lady and the fourth young master. ”

Chen Yan's face was blank, and when he was about to get angry, he saw Chen Lan glaring at him, and immediately forced himself to make a sarcastic statement. After Chen Lan stopped Chen Yan, he knew that he had already inquired about it this time, and it was not appropriate to get too involved, so he took a sip of tea and said a few words of gossip casually, and then prepared to get up and go home.

At this time, it was already the middle of the day, and for the shops on Qianmen Street, it was the time of the day when there were more and more customers, so when Chen Lan's sister and brother went downstairs with the shopkeeper and the account manager, they saw that there were several female customers on the first floor who were selecting all kinds of female customers - compared with the outer courtyard only receiving ordinary male customers, this place was naturally much cleaner. A middle-aged woman wearing a plain silk shirt had to wrap a Hang silk horse and let the accompanying servant woman take it, and when she turned around and went out, she was careless and almost collided with Chen Lan and others.

Hongluoyan quickly helped him, Chen Lan saw that the middle-aged woman was dressed plainly, her eyebrows and eyes were kind, and she respected the other party's elder, so she couldn't help but say no, and humbly asked the other party to go first. The middle-aged woman thanked her with a smile, and said a few more polite words, and then turned sideways and walked first. The two groups of people arrived at the outer courtyard one after the other, Chen Lan's mule cart had already rushed over, and the servant woman led by the middle-aged woman waved to the parking place over there, but at this moment, only heard a rapid sound of horses' hooves coming from the avenue.

PS: I saw that many students said that the problem of coins being transferred, I was very helpless, because many authors themselves have encountered this kind of supernatural spirit. The upward reflection is certain, and the other can only support a small trick. If you have a Taobao account, it is better to choose the automatic recharge in the Taobao mall, it seems that the minimum amount is two yuan, automatic recharge, and it will arrive immediately, I usually rush like this, every time I use the Alipay balance to rush two or four yuan, alas......

Also, I highly recommend Butterfly Blue's new book "Full Time Master", well, I read it from a melee mage, and I ran out of money in the other account at that time. Non-friendly, really highly recommended......
