Fan Xiaojian was buying spices at the door of Yixian Building, Qin was weighing with scales on the side, and Zhu Zhanji was maintaining order on the side. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Qin Sister-in-law is already familiar with everyone, because she is the boss lady, everyone often comes to eat and drink, so everyone has a very good impression of her, and in the exchange, many ministers began to understand in their hearts that this Qin Sister-in-law is probably more knowledgeable than Bachelor Fan, and they can't help but secretly admire in their hearts, and at the same time, those who have seen a lot are a little suspicious that some of Bachelor Fan's wisdom may have been stolen.

Zhu Zhanji said: "Everyone come one by one, don't squeeze don't squeeze, the officials are small and line up at the back!" said and slapped an official's hand and said, "You haven't finished measuring it yet, don't touch the silver!"

The official sneered, and quickly took his hand back, Xia Yuanji, the head of the household, was waiting for the result on the side, and Qin said, "Lord Xia, why do you have so many spices?"

Xia Yuanji said with a smile: "Miss Qin, there are many spices, it is the grace of the saints, how can you ask as a courtier, just be happy if you send too much, hehehe." ”

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Miss Qin, how much did Lord Xia send?"

Qin said: "Two hundred and sixty-three catties and five halves is a little more." ”

"Huh?!"

At that time, Fang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, Jian Yi, the secretary of the Ministry of Justice, Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, and Li Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, surrounded him.

Xia Yuanji hurriedly said: "Everyone go back and line up, line up." ”

He also said to Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, look at this order, let these people abide by the rules, and don't lose the dignity of my Ming court." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Everyone go back and line up and line up, come one by one, and wait for Lord Xia to finish this weighing, and then come to the next one." ”

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "No, Lord Xia, the two of us are at the same level, both are at the ministerial level, why are you more than mine?"

The other four Shangshu lords did not retreat, and said, "Yes, yes, why are you so many?

Xia Yuanji's face was unfathomable: "Since it is a red envelope, how can everyone know about it." ”

The Ministry of Rites Shangshu Jianyi said: "No, Lord Xia, as far as I know, this month is all paid at a rate of 20% off, and the normal salary is not enough, how can I give you a red envelope? I haven't seen you make any great contributions, there must be drawbacks in it." ”

The secretary of the criminal department said: "Yes, yes, is it that other officials are filial to you, you tell me, and I will also let him honor me, otherwise I will have to arrest him." ”

Fang Bin, the secretary of the Ministry of War, also said: "Now that military expenses are tight, how can I give you another reward." ”

Everyone said, "Quick, tell the truth." ”

Sister-in-law Qin stopped and looked at Xia Yuanji.

Xia Yuanji's face turned red and said, "Do you have to tell me the truth?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "Of course, if you look at a few people at the scene, which one is easy to drag the family, why are you so much?"

Xia Yuanji said: "I was wrong, I knew that I bought this thing from the market again, and I wanted to exchange it for more silver." ”

Zhu Zhanji said: "Isn't it the same when you buy and sell again? How can there be more silver?"

Xia Yuanji said: "Your Highness, you don't know, there are too many spices on the market now, and they have greatly depreciated, so there is very little silver to buy and spend." ”

When everyone heard this, they stopped doing it and said, "How can you, as the head of the household, do this?"

Xia Yuanji smiled and said: "Actually, I don't want to do this, it's all your sister-in-law's idea, I will criticize and educate her when I go back, let her write a review, don't take it as an example!"

Many people shouted: "I protest, I protest!"

Xia Yuanji's eyes widened, and he said, "What are you arguing about? I don't know if I'm responsible for paying everyone's salary?"

When those petty officials heard this, they were silent.

When several Shangshu heard this, they all did not agree, saying, "Don't scare them, we won't listen to you." ”

Xia Yuanji said: "Okay, I was wrong, I don't want the extra ones, this is all right?"

Fan Xiaojian smiled and said, "Lord Xia, let's do it, if you have more, I will give you as much as there is on the market, okay?"

Xia Yuanji was overjoyed and said, "Okay, good, it's still the old brother who is kind." ”

Fang Bin, the secretary of the military department, said: "I want Lord Xia to treat you at noon!"

Everyone coaxed together and said, "Treat, treat!"

Xia Yuanji didn't know what to do.

Fan Xiaojian said with a smile: "Don't be embarrassed for Lord Xia, the lower officials invited it in Yixian Tower at noon, and it is considered Lord Xia." ”

Zhu Zhanji took the lead, and everyone applauded.

After the banquet, Fan Xiaojian thought of going to Qingliang Mountain to meet everyone, and at this time, a large number of people rushed to Qingliang Mountain in batches, and everyone wanted to discuss the matter of dealing with the Phoenix Sect.

I was just afraid that Zhu Zhanji would follow, and I thought how to tell a lie.

While thinking about a clever plan, Li Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, came over and said, "Is my brother going out to sell spices?"

Fan Xiaojian said: "Yes, yes, is my brother going to go with me?

Li Qing said: "Look at the scales, I can't be busy with the matter of moving the capital, I was busy with some chores some time ago, and I couldn't discuss it with the commander-in-chief, my brother, and now I am about to move the capital, you can't go." ”

Fan Xiaojian's brain was dizzy, and he said in his heart, what should I do? When I was idle some time ago, I didn't look for myself, is it because I met Zhu Di yesterday? It's not easy to guess.

At this time, the other adults also heard the conversation between the two, and remembered this matter, so they came to settle accounts with Fan Xiaojian, anyway, they also took the silver, and ate the wine and food, not afraid that he would turn his face with everyone. This guy put forward the idea of running Beijing, which invisibly gave everyone a little less money, so everyone has to see what remedies are available.

Qin said, "Ladies and gentlemen, what has Beijing built now?"

Li Qing, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, said: "Now that the city of Beijing, the imperial city, and the Forbidden City have been built, the Holy Lord has built the Imperial Palace for His Royal Highness the Imperial Emperor in the southeast of the Forbidden City outside the Forbidden City, and has built the Ten Princes' Mansion in the east of the Imperial City. ”

Everyone said, yes, yes, you kid has a business, there are so many of us, and we have to maintain pomp and circumstance, so as not to lose the dignity of the imperial court, now there is no oil and water to fish, just counting on the salary from the imperial court, you asked our family to drink the northwest wind for dozens of people? Not to mention that there is no spacious place to live.

Sister-in-law Qin quietly asked Zhu Zhanji: "Your Highness, where is the restaurant arranged for us?"

Zhu Zhanji whispered: "I will put your restaurant on the north-south road west of the imperial city for you."

Qin said, "Xidan?"

Zhu Zhanji said: "Xidan. ”

Qin said, "That's easy to do." Then he said to them, "My lords, I have a good idea. ”

Everyone looked at her together.

Qin said to Li Qing: "Is there a construction map of Beijing's urban area?"

Li Qing said: "Yes. ”

Qin said, "Then send someone to bring the map." ”

On the big table on the third floor of Yixian Building, everyone looked at the construction map of Beijing, only to see that Beijing was surrounded by two squares into a gourd-shaped, the north square is the inner city, the rectangle is inevitably the outer city, the inner city has a square imperial city in the middle according to the topography, and the rectangular in the middle of the imperial city is the Forbidden City.

Li Qing said, "How is it?

Qin said: "I can see that Beijing City is for officials to live, and ordinary people have no status." ”

Li Qing said, "What do you think you should do?"

Qin said: "Since we Fan said that we want to run the city, we must work management. ”

Fan Xiaojian said: "Yes, that's what I said, do you understand?"

Everyone shook their heads and said they didn't understand.

Qin said with a smile: "This street in the west of the Imperial City can be used as a commercial street for merchants. ”

When everyone heard this, they shouted, "Isn't this a loss of national integrity?"

Lu Zhen, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, said: "Since ancient times, the status of businessmen is the lowest, and you can't raise the level of businessmen in the world just because you open a restaurant yourself." ”

Wu Zhong, the secretary of the Criminal Department, said: "Since ancient times, there have been no traitors and no businessmen, and if they are given a good position, it will undoubtedly encourage the corruption of the social atmosphere. ”

Qin said: "Ladies and gentlemen, don't discriminate against businessmen, do you think businessmen are rich?"

They said, "Yes." ”

Qin said, "Can the merchant's money be robbed for him to build a city?"

Wu Zhong said: "This will not work. ”

Qin said: "Yes, since you can't rob it, how good it would be to let this group of people voluntarily pay for it." ”

Li Qing said: "How can you voluntarily pay for it?"

Qin said: "Now is the opportunity, Beijing is the largest city in my Ming Dynasty is undoubted, in the future, the land price here will be higher and higher, do you think right?"

Everyone nodded yes.

Qin said: "In this way, don't let the saint give the An family silver, but the saint to give the land of the An family, this land, on this street, everyone leans on, there are ten kings' mansions in the east, and there are all the adults in the west, our restaurant is on this street, and it will be convenient for everyone to drink in the future." ”

Everyone applauded.

Li Qing said: "No, there is still no house, you let everyone live in a tent?"

Qin said with a smile: "The land of this street is everyone's, everyone is on this street to attract investment, we want to make this street the first commercial street in Beijing, both sides of the street are doing business, then the land of this street is worth a lot of money, you adults think about it, in the future, half of all Beijingers' money will be spent from this street, then everyone's future business will definitely be no problem." ”

Everyone said: "Yes, it is indeed a profiteer, but everyone can't do business, it's undignified, and it's just a matter of renting it out." ”

Qin said with a smile: "When the time comes, you will bid on this street, whoever pays the highest price will develop it, and the guarantee condition is to build a house for your lords, and leave a store, when the time comes, you will not only have a place to live, but also have a monthly rental income, if you have nothing to do, you will go to our Yixian upstairs to drink, wouldn't everyone be happy." ”

When everyone heard this, they were very happy.

Fan Xiaojian said: "What about the people who originally lived?"

Qin said, "Is there anyone living there?"

Fan Xiaojian said: "How fresh, how can there be no one?"

Qin said, "This." ”

Li Qing said: "This is easy to do, we will just drive the original one away." ”
