Chapter 12 Private Visits to the Market

Inside the Imperial Study.

After returning from the Wei Mansion, Chongzhen couldn't calm down in his heart for a long time, remembering that the Emperor of the Apocalypse pulled himself before he died and did not forget to tell Wei Zhongxian to reuse, and instantly figured out a lot, it turned out that they all had a deep meaning, so he almost told himself directly: "The emperor has to take care of his reputation, and all the dirty work is handed over to this Wei Zhongxian, and he will definitely arrange it for you clearly." ”

Putting Wei Zhongxian's matter aside a little, Chongzhen wanted to understand the real socio-economic situation of the Ming Dynasty now, thinking of this, he directly passed Luo Yangxing, and took a team of brocade guards to dress up and then went out of the palace directly.

Emperor Chongzhen held a folding fan in his hand, pretending to be a rich son, Luo Yangxing followed behind with a few people, and the brocade guards of the brigade were scattered around and always paid attention to Chongzhen and the surrounding environment, and came to the "Chaoqian City" of Daming Gate, the streets were bustling with cars and horses, teahouses and restaurants, and banners and plaques could be seen everywhere. Although the end of the Ming Dynasty was not peaceful, there were wars in Liaodong, and there would be rebels in Shaanxi to confront the imperial court in the future, but the capital, as an important place in Gyeonggi and a political and cultural center, was still a thriving and prosperous scene as a whole.

"Master, you see we've been shopping here for a while, or we'll go back in a while?"

Chongzhen hadn't just taken a good look at the scenery of the capital in his previous life, and Luo Yangxing was very disappointed on the side.

"Don't worry, what are you panicking, I'm going to take a good walk here today, and I'll eat out at noon."

After hearing this, Luo Yangxing's heart was like an ant on a hot pot, the environment in the market itself was quite noisy, if this master was still eating outside, when he gestured to let the Jinyi guard next to him go to the front to "clear the field" to find a place, but before anyone could arrange it, Chongzhen raised his hand and pointed to a restaurant with a folding fan and said, "Let's go here, let's go in and eat." ”

"Master, the front has been settled, do you think we should change places?"

"No, that's it, just find a place to go in and eat something, why are you more delicate than you?"

Seeing that Chongzhen insisted on this, Luo Yangxing didn't say much, and even said that the villain knew his mistake and accompanied Chongzhen into the tavern.

In fact, Chongzhen also knows very well in his heart that if he wants to hear the most real situation of the people, he has to make his own private visits and investigations, including the site selection, and he can't let these brocade guards arrange for himself to go over, otherwise, basically what he sees and hears has been "arranged and handled" by them, and such a private visit is meaningless.

In the restaurant, it is the peak period of lunch, and there are seven or eight tables of guests sitting in the hall.

The hotel's junior second saw the guests at the door, and Chongzhen's clothes looked like the lords of the rich family, so he hurriedly stepped forward and said, "A few masters have arrived, do you want to arrange a private room upstairs?" ”

Luo Yangxing was about to agree to speak, but before he could speak, Chongzhen said directly: "No, we are just in this hall, there are so many people." ”

Xiao Er asked in a good voice: "What do you use?" ”

"Let's have four catties of mutton, and you can serve some other dishes here, and two pots of good wine."

"Okay, wait a minute." As he spoke, Xiao Er put the white towel that had wiped the table on his shoulder and went directly to make arrangements.

Chongzhen was a person who particularly liked to eat mutton in his previous life, and he also ate it many times in the palace after crossing over, but because it was a meal for the emperor, it was processed without smell, and this time he came out just to taste the original way of eating the people of this era.

Seeing Luo Yangxing standing like a javelin, looking like a great enemy, Chongzhen couldn't help but laugh, it seems that Luo Yangxing has been very loyal to himself since he was promoted by leapfrogging, after all, the people he brought up belong to his own "young strength".

"Tairu, don't be too nervous, just sit down and have a meal, it's fine."

"It's good for you to eat, micro... I'm not hungry."

Speaking of a slip of the tongue, Luo Yangxing directly changed his words.

"It's okay, it's okay, if it's not safe in this Gyeonggi area, then the group of rice buckets in the Five Cities Terracotta Division will have to be replaced, just sit down and eat, and go back after eating for a while."

Hearing Chongzhen say this, Luo Yangxing sat down next to Chongzhen by himself, and beckoned several other Jinyi guards to sit down beside him.

The dish was very fast, Chongzhen was indeed hungry, and after going to the Wei Mansion in the morning to talk to Wei Zhongxian, he went back to the palace to deal with some twists and turns, and most of the water and rice had not been entered, and when he was served, he had to put down the chopsticks directly, but when the chopsticks were lifted to the air, he found that Luo Yangxing quickly moved the dish in front of him, took out the silver needle from his waist to test the poison, and then pushed it back, and then smiled at Chongzhen with apologies, Chongzhen was really shocked, this is really too careful, it seems that it is really difficult to be the emperor.

Thanks to the other guests around him, they are eating wholeheartedly, and they have no time to pay attention to their side, otherwise, Chong Luo Yangxing's performance towards himself, as long as he is not SHAZI, he can roughly see which prince's son he is.

"If you want me to say, let's scrape together some capital and go to the customs outside the border to do some grain and cloth trading, I heard that the price of Tartar grain over there is too high?"

At this time, a red-faced man with a big head at the next table was drinking wine and talking to the people at the same table.

"You're crazy, trading with the Tartars?" One of the people at the table looked at him like an idiot and asked.

"You don't understand this, Brother Wang, I have a few heads and dare to sell directly to the Tartars, I can sell to the merchants in Mongolia first, and it's none of my business who they sell to?"

At this time, the red-faced man who spoke earlier smiled smugly, as if he felt that he was holding a wisdom bead.

"No, I still think it's too risky, let's think about it in the long run!"

The one who was called Brother Wang was an old and serious middle-aged man, and when he said this, the other two people at the same table nodded in agreement.

"Well, if you want me to say why can't our brothers get rich? I don't know what opportunity to grasp well, you know Boss Fu, recently bought a house, and also hired a new concubine, he just pulled the goods outside the customs and made a little money. ”

As he spoke, he said to everyone mysteriously: "How much money did he guess he made on this trip?" ”

Brother Wang and the other three shook their heads, they really had no concept of this, seeing that the three of them were almost fished by themselves, the red-faced man directly compared his index finger to the three and said, "This number." ”

"One hundred taels?" Brother Wang said suspiciously.

"One thousand taels." The red-faced man said ostentatiously, as if the money was earned by him.
