Chapter 18 This is the finest glass
"Yo, master, what are you asking about this, don't you want to ......"
The shopkeeper looked at Li Chaosheng and made a killing gesture, after all, thirty big men were armed with weapons, and when they entered the city, they inquired that it was the largest pawnshop and the largest money bank.
What do you say this group of people is trying to do? Do you have any ideas for these two places?
"It's not."
Li Chaosheng glanced at the shopkeeper, you can make up for it with your brain, the shopkeeper smiled at this time: "Then it is a misunderstanding, but if you are really from the green forest road, I suggest that you go to the Thai money shop." β
Tongtai money shop?
Hearing this name, Li Chaosheng frowned, he can't forget this money shop, the silver was exchanged there last time, and then he was hacked by hooligans.
"Did this Tongtai money shop mess with you? Do you hate him so much? β
Li Chaosheng looked at the noodle shop owner and asked, and the noodle shop owner said at this time: "Master, you don't know, this boss is very bad, he colluded with the gangsters in the county to do a lot of immoral things, and dozens of people died in their hands." β
"Oh, so arrogant, doesn't the county lord care?"
Li Chaosheng asked curiously, and after hearing this, the owner of the noodle restaurant said: "What's the matter, the sister of the shopkeeper of the money village is the third concubine of the county lord, and he can only make his business bigger in the county by relying on this relationship." β
Hearing this, Li Chaosheng's eyes condensed slightly, and he still had an official relationship, but he couldn't move him easily, but as long as he found an opportunity, he had to make him look good.
How can the revenge of killing not be avenged, but everything needs to be cautious, his brother-in-law is the county leader of this county.
In the past few days, Li Chaosheng has figured out seven or eight points of the officials at the county level in the Ming Dynasty.
There will be a seventh-grade magistrate in a county, and then a seventh-grade county will be attached below, and the responsibility of the county is to assist the magistrate in handling government affairs, which is equivalent to the deputy of the magistrate, which is about equal to the deputy county magistrate.
There is also a main book of the ninth grade under the Bapin County, which is responsible for managing the county's documents, which is about the same as the current official position of the director of the county government office.
Then there are officials without grades, the first is the second master at the yamen, the master, which is equivalent to the secretary of the county magistrate, handling some government affairs for the county magistrate, and there are many kinds of masters, such as the criminal master who helps the county judge the case, the money and grain master who helps the county settle accounts, and the master Shuqi who helps the county master to draft documents.
There is no limit to the number of this master, it mainly depends on whether the county master is willing to spend money, whether he is willing to spend money, there is a master who pretends to be a faΓ§ade, he is willing to spend money, ten or eight, one hundred and eighty, as long as you can afford it, there is no limit to the number of people.
And in addition to the master, there is also a warden, to put it bluntly, he is the head of the fast officer, in charge of arresting people and imprisoning people, which is equivalent to the current director of the county public security bureau.
And then the following are some innocuous and unprepared catches, the so-called official errands.
It's okay for you to say that these people are policemen, and it's okay for you to say that they are chengguan, anyway, they are in charge of everything on the ground.
This is the administrative structure of a county-level unit in ancient times, and the boss of Tongtai Money Shop turned out to be the eldest brother of the county, which can't be easily moved, at least before his wings are full, he can't move, and he must know how to forbear when he does big things.
"Shopkeeper, in addition to Tongtai money shop, which money shop is bigger and has a good reputation?"
Li Chaosheng looked at the noodle shop owner and asked, and after hearing this, the noodle shop owner said: "Liyuan money shop is also a time-honored brand, although the business in Lantian has been squeezed by Tongtai money shop in recent years, but their own number is still very prosperous in Shanxi." β
"Oh, that's it, thank you boss."
Everyone ate and drank enough, Li Chaosheng paid silver, and it cost two coins of silver for thirty-two bowls of noodles, mainly because of the addition of meat, if you don't want meat, one penny of silver is enough.
β¦β¦
Huibao pawnshop.
"Shopkeeper, no, there's a group of strongmen outside, each with weapons, go and take a look."
The young man shouted anxiously to the shopkeeper who was drinking tea in the back room.
The shopkeeper was startled when he heard this: "The bandits have entered the city? β
"I don't know, the one who took the lead is a weak boy, and he doesn't look like a bandit."
The young man lowered his head and said, the shopkeeper frowned when he heard this, and said: "Don't panic first, I'll take a look, the situation is not right, you immediately take my name to the county government to report, let the county magistrate rescue, there will be a lot of thanks." β
"Yes."
The shopkeeper said as he walked from the back room to the counter, looking down from the high counter.
In ancient times, when the pawnshop was designed, it would repair its own window very high, and the people in the pawnshop would look down on you, which was called pressing you, because those who could go here were all in trouble, and you came to ask for something.
That's why people want to crush you.
At this time, the shopkeeper stood on the counter and looked at the group below, and saw that this group of people were all very strong, holding weapons in their hands, although they were all covered with something, but how could they stop it.
"Ladies and gentlemen, which one are you, come and speak to a steward."
The shopkeeper's fist hugged everyone, and at this time, Li Chaosheng pushed everyone away: "You are the shopkeeper." β
"It's me, you're it?"
"An ordinary passerby."
"Oh, I understand, I understand, everyone is fortunate to pass by, there is a tea respect, everyone keeps it for tea."
At this time, the shopkeeper took out a piece of silver about two coins from the silver box on the side, don't care about that way, so many people come with weapons, they can't afford to offend, give some money to test the temptation first.
It's been a messy year, it's not easy to do some business, there is a local government, the exploitation of land, and occasionally passers-by come to knock on bamboo, and they can't afford to offend.
Breaking wealth and avoiding disasters is their way to survive, but today he miscalculated, Li Chaosheng didn't even look at the two coins of silver on the table, but looked at the shopkeeper and said: "Don't be afraid of the shopkeeper, we are not strongmen, but come to the shopkeeper to do business." β
"Doing business?"
The shopkeeper was stunned, Li Chaosheng said: "I want to buy some fields recently, and I don't have much money, it just so happens that I have friends overseas, and I gave me some foreign high-grade glass, you help me palm my eyes and see if it's worth it?" β
"Oh, that's right."
The shopkeeper gave the little guy hidden behind the door a look of peace of mind, don't run to find the magistrate now, the magistrate they will at least have a few dozen taels of silver for a trip, and you should have fun plucking the goose.
If it weren't for the robbery, let's not spend that unjust money, the shopkeeper thought, and at this time Li Chaosheng took out a glass marble.
"Shopkeeper, please keep an eye on it."
As soon as the glass marbles were taken out, the shopkeeper's eyes lit up, what pure glass, high-end goods.
Thinking about the shopkeeper, he hurriedly took a plate covered with red cloth and asked Li Chaosheng to put things into the plate, staring at the glass beads without moving.
The whole is round, bright as new, this polishing should be a master level, and the polishing is really good.
Secondly, this glass is crystal clear, like crystal, and compared with the glass of various colors on the market, it is more pure and more precious.
Good stuff, rare good stuff!
