Chapter Eighty-Four: There is no master here
The reason why the input has been greatly reduced, the key problem is that the Jinyi Wei Donghua Gate 100 households, originally Donghua Gate itself wanted to collect safe money, to break the rules, Ying Tianfu did toleration, and the reason for forbearance is because after all, it is just Xingmo's mosquito meat, not worth mentioning, there is no need to go to the madman surnamed Hao for this little profit.
But now it's different, it's only been just over a month, a large number of shops have actually entered Donghuamen, if there were still people watching at the beginning, but now, it is simply flocking in.
In the past, some 'fat sheep' in the eyes of Ying Tianfu have now all transferred their sales to the area of Donghuamen.
The reason for this situation is that the problem still appears on the head of the Donghuamen Baihu Office.
Since Donghuamen did not allow the three sects and nine streams to share with other yamen, not only began to put away the peace money and hang the peace brand, especially for shops such as ** and gambling houses, they charged fifty pieces of silver every month.
At first glance, it seems to be ruthless, but you must know that whenever it involves industries such as pornography, gambling and drugs, it is often a huge profit, and these industries are not what ordinary people dare to contaminate.
It's just that it's not easy to have enough relationships, and if you have a relationship, you have to maintain, and these umbrellas behind are definitely not ordinary roles, to maintain a relationship with such a person is not just a little silver can be passed, all year round, those big people's birthdays, ice respect, carbon respect, and various festivals, all down, at least dozens of reasons, every time you have to prepare gifts, general gifts people look down on, you have to inquire about people's preferences, gifts are light, and they are not successful, so what Ruyi, Jade Buddha, calligraphy and painting, etc., Which one is a lot of money, just this one, I don't know how much it costs, and the stewardship and concierge of the big man's house also have to be touched, the so-called Hades is easy to provoke, and the little ghost is difficult, if people entertain you a few words before and after others, or make things difficult for you so many times, all the effort may be in vain.
Maintaining a relationship often costs more than a clear price.
In addition, these transactions are not the right way after all, so most of the yamen will reach out to this, ordinary livelihood, most of the yamen dare not be too presumptuous, after all, the imperial envoy is staring, but the gambling house is different from **, no matter how you exploit it, no one will come out for this kind of thing.
In addition, the practitioners in these industries are already mixed, and they are the main gathering places of the three religions and nine streams, and many scoundrels and even local gangsters rely on this industry to maintain, and if they refuse to satisfy these people, they will inevitably cause trouble.
All these things make these industries the main source of income for Ying Tianfu, and Ying Tianfu is pointing to this pot to eat.
It's just that now it's very different, a month later, those gambling houses that were originally dissatisfied with the hundred households of Jinyi Wei, ** suddenly found that there was no more harassment in their shop, and there were no yamen servants to make trouble, and for businessmen, it was their nature to pursue profits.
So, the whole city of Nanjing began to open gambling houses in the streets near Donghua Gate, **, with the first, there is a second, the third, and many businessmen who did not dare to set foot in this industry, at this time also played a great enthusiasm, it was an influx, just over a month, Donghua Gate increased more than 170 merchants, of which more than eighty percent were related to **, gambling houses.
There is another problem here, such as the gambling house, there are not many gambling houses in Nanjing City, but there are only a few hundred, after all, those who dared to open gambling houses in the past are mostly strongmen like Zhang Biao, ordinary businessmen, where dare to do this business easily, but Donghuamen has recently opened more than 60 gambling houses, ** less, but there are more than 50 households, in fact, these people have long been jealous of the profits of these trades, usually dare not do it, and now there is an opportunity, this is flocking in.
Originally, many people didn't take this seriously, Donghuamen said that it was not big, it was not small, it gathered so many ** and gambling houses, how many guests could come to the door, but the next thing was an eye-opener, obviously they forgot that there is a so-called group effect on this shijie, and so many livelihoods were gathered at once, but it made Donghuamen famous, so that many people admired it, and the new shop business was popular, but the business in other places was much bleaker.
This is also understandable, many people go to gamble, nothing more than to have fun, there are many choices in Donghua Gate, and I heard that there are no thieves and scoundrels there, the streets are clean, everyone wants to go and see, this look, it is completely popular.
After driving the flow of people, all kinds of wine shops, tea shops and even opera troupes have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain.
This is of course a good thing for Donghua Gate and even Donghua Gate Baihu, the more merchants mean more safe money, but for others, it is really bleak.
The gambling houses and goulan business in other places have plummeted, but Ying Tianfu, the Terracotta Division, and even the scoundrels in the market are still exploiting to death as before.
But now it's different, now the business is bleak, from the previous month, more or less five hundred and one thousand taels into the account, it doesn't hurt to take out half of it, now the January income is only two hundred and five hundred, if it is still the same as before, what do you eat?
Corresponding to Tianfu and the Terracotta Division and those scoundrels in the market, but there is no way, the New Year is coming, in the final analysis, they are just small roles, if you are sympathetic to everyone this year, the lords above find that this year's filial piety is much less than before, but they may not be sympathetic to them. So, on the one hand, they were urging for money, all of them were like wolves and tigers, like debt collectors. On the other hand, there is a lot of reluctance, in the past, I could live in harmony with you because everyone had a profit, but now I can't work hard to spend so much money into it, all of which fattened you, but starved to death.
The delicate balance is completely broken.
The merchants are very simple, since this business can't be done, then close the door, there is no master here, there is a place to keep the master, grandpa I will go to Jinyiwei.
It was judged that Yang Xian faced an embarrassing situation, everyone ran away and hid in Donghua Gate, where people reopened, no matter how long your hands were, you can't care about it, and for the Ying Tianfu servants who are about to celebrate the New Year, the more people who run, the greater the pressure, so they all had red eyes, and even Zuihou tore off a little of his face, and asked for silver everywhere like crazy, so he almost grabbed it with a knife. The more this is the case, the more merchants will flee, and they will do their best to catch fish, which has reached the point of no return.
It's been a bad year.
Thinking about it, there is no cause and effect, and I can't think of any good way, if I let the servants stabilize the merchants, Tianfu should be willing to collect less, and be sympathetic to the difficulties of the merchants, but is it a soldier's horse? Maybe Tianfu will charge less, and the Terracotta Division will charge more, not only will it not be cheaper than the merchants, but it will let the Terracotta Division take advantage.
But let go of your head to look for money everywhere, regardless of any consequences, but it will not work, the more you push people, people can't afford to provoke and can't hide, even if you don't go to Donghuamen, it's a big deal if you don't do business, what can you do?
It's hard to do, since the establishment of the article, the unspoken rule of Ying Tianfu has been several years, who would have thought that now this rule has been completely broken.
When he was worried, an errand came: "Yang Tong sentenced, Lord Fu Yin is invited." ”
"I'll go." Yang Xian didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly left.
