Chapter X

Zhao Siye's family is also short of food, and the food is easy to say, just go back to the warehouse and buy some for them.

Along the way, I saw dragon flags fluttering in the sky above the Yamen official offices. On the walls on both sides of the street, one after another posted a series of imperial lists, only after seeing the imperial list, I knew that the Republic of China had been renamed Xuantong, and Emperor Puyi was back. The shops and residents on the street were notified that every household should hang the Yellow Dragon Flag.

After sending it back, there were police officers at the door, to send the Yellow Dragon Flag, I heard the police say that these Yellow Dragon Flags were ordered by the pigtail handsome Zhang Xun to rush to Beijing from Xuzhou, but due to the rush of time, the number of dragon flags made is very limited, of course, it is impossible for every family to be delivered, and if it cannot be sent, it is ordered to buy it by itself. But it's been a few years since the Republic of China, where to buy the dragon flag?

Take the Yellow Dragon Flag and hand it to Lao Zhang.

"Hang it up, the Republic of China has changed its unification."

Lao Zhang found a pole to hang at the door, and Wang Wenwu and Steward Qiu watched from the side.

"This is the emperor is back again, and the Republic of China has changed its unification."

"It can't grow, but your braids have to be dealt with quickly, don't wait, smash your hands."

"How many are you?"

"Tomorrow, I'll go to the street and ask, and the day after tomorrow I'll sell them all."

"So fast, don't you wait?"

"Let's make quick money, not fast, this useless thing is smashed in the hands of this way, and it will be a good price to buy for a while."

"Okay, let me know tomorrow."

"You're not together."

"I'll take a look first."

Lao Zhang hung up the yellow dragon flag and ran to him,

"Two masters, what do you think?"

"Okay, drive away the people around, don't let them gather here, pay attention to any news on the street and notify us quickly."

"Okay, Master Wu."

"Go ahead!"

Soon there was news that the Longqi store, which had been forced to close around the Shunzhi Gate and the front door, had reopened, and business was booming immediately. These shops worked day and night to make dragon flags, but they still couldn't meet the demand, so they had to increase the number of people, but this was not enough, so they came up with a clever trick to draw the dragon flag pattern with a brush on the yellow cloth.

Even so, demand still outstripped, and the price of Longqi more than tripled all at once.

On the road to the sky, I saw that the streets were full of yellow dragon flags, but because it was an emergency system, the specifications and materials used in the yellow dragon flags were very inconsistent, some long, some short and triangular; of cloth, silk, satin, and paper; There are new ones, and there are old ones; There are those who draw black dragons, and there are those who draw blue dragons, which are really varied and have everything.

Now the best business on the street is still the tailor shop, I heard that Xuantong has appointed a large number of new officials, these people of course have to wear the official uniforms of the Qing Dynasty, and those old people of the former Qing Dynasty must also change back to the robes of the past. But the demand is too great, how can the tailor cope with it? So those who had old clothes at home rummaged through the cabinets and found out the old court clothes, although they were cracked and even wormed and moldy, they could always be worn improvised.

This is good, I saw on the street that there were still people wearing costumes, and the costumes of the actors were snapped up, and even the court costumes worn by the dead were bought, and the price increased by five or six times.

The shops that sold old goods and props, with some fake braids and flower feathers, were quickly snapped up, and the buyers didn't even talk about the price, shouting a piece of ocean, two oceans, or even three oceans, and if there were any, they immediately bought them.

Hurried to the warehouse, and when he saw Steward Qiu, he said, "Brother Qiu, you don't look on the street." ”

"Looked. I think it will rise in the afternoon. ”

"Then you watch first, I'll go back first, and give me those that I have."

"Okay, let's go, bring me news when you come back in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll go first,"

Arch your hands, say goodbye and leave. Go back and call Aegean, grab a big bag of braids that I had prepared earlier, and hurry to the train station. Those who ran out after the Qing Dynasty and now ran back for the first time after the restoration must be rich people, and they also buy one ocean and two oceans, Lao Tzu has to buy at least ten oceans, and don't buy less than ten.

I couldn't walk fast with a bag of braids, so I walked to the mouth of the alley and immediately called a rickshaw.

"Rickshaw, rickshaw," "Go to Zhengyangmen East Station, hurry up." ”

"Okay, you'll see."

Maybe it's a lot of running, the rickshaw is fast and stable, and the station can't get in without a ticket, so I take out a braid at the door and sell it.

At this time, old men with white hair came out from the gate of the station, and some people who knew them from afar pointed out that that it was the Shangshu of a certain department in the Qing Dynasty, that was a certain squire, that was Zhang Hanlin, and that was Governor Li.

Wang Wenwu shouted loudly:

"Come and see, braids, clean braids" "Come and see, braids, clean braids, come and see." ”

Someone heard it, muttering a few words in the old man's ear, the old man nodded, and the housekeeper-like person walked over,

"Whoever buys braids, come with twenty braids,"

"Master, twenty silver dollars a piece."

"Hey, TMD, you're stealing money"

"Don't say that, this is what you want me to do, how can it be a robbery of money, robbing money is a lawsuit, I am a business, but it is more expensive."

"Are you a little more expensive, my lord is a scholar of the criminal department, and when you see the emperor, you will go to the prison to do your business!"

"You know the villain?"

"Where did you come out, the master will recognize you, and you don't pee to take care of yourself, are you worthy?"

"Since you don't know the villain, how can you send the villain to the class room," said the face a little ugly, "Besides, your Shangshu master saw the emperor, and the emperor saw that the loyal minister seemed to be no longer a loyal minister of the Qing Dynasty, and became a citizen of the Republic of China, because of what, because the braid on the back of his head was gone,"

With an ugly face, he said, "Okay, twenty is twenty." ”

He took out four 100-denomination CrΓ©dit Agricole CIB banknotes from his pocket and handed them over.

Wang Wenwu has never received a banknote, and he doesn't know how to distinguish the real from the fake, but the momentum can't be lost, so he pretends to know very well, and checks it like a yuan, "Um, um" nodded and accepted.

The housekeeper-like person looked at the difference, and the person's appearance seemed to be real, thinking that these old people should not be able to do such a thing with counterfeit money, and ordered twenty braids to hand over to the man.

"You put it away!"

The man took it back, walked to the old man, handed over a braid, and handed out the braid to several old people around, but they all waved their hands and did not answer, and then called the entourage, pointing in the direction of Wang Wenwu, and the entourage came to say that they wanted to buy braids, five or six less, one or twenty more, but most of them gave paper money, bank banknotes from various countries, such as HSBC, McQuarie, Warby and other banks, as well as the Bank of North Korea, North Korea returned to RB, isn't that the bank of the RB people, and when they are finished, they should exchange all the banknotes for silver dollars and put them in space.

The widows who just got off the train are really rich, maybe they are going to see the emperor, and they are about to send it when they see the emperor, so they are not heartbroken, or they can't fall in front of their colleagues in the future, and the braids of twenty silver dollars are not bargained.

But they are all paper money, the chaotic coin system of the Republic of China, the banks of various countries in China are closely related to the strength of their national power, once their own power in China is weakened, the circulation of paper money issued by them will be greatly affected, and even completely reduced to waste paper, or silver dollars.
