Chapter 340: Fighting the Mountains from the Cow!
When Xu Miaoqing heard this, her eyes lit up with excitement.
Whether it was hundreds of years ago or hundreds of years later, women had no resistance to shopping malls.
Zhu Gui looked at his fiancée's rare childlike smile, and was also very happy in his heart, pulling her around the store and packing a lot of good things.
In fact, the things here are only relatively exquisite, and they are still a lot worse than the royal things in the palace.
But the two of them didn't come to buy anything, but to experience the fun of shopping.
Zhu Gui accompanied Xu Miaoqing to walk around the entire second floor, and saw that Xu Miaoqing was also a little tired, so he immediately pulled her to the side of the lounge to rest.
"Miaoqing, I've found a good person here, the bridesmaid."
Xu Miaoqing was not surprised at all when she heard this, but just responded vigorously.
"Is it Zhu Ying or Zhu Zhi?"
Zhu Gui said proudly.
"Neither!"
"I asked the imperial grandson, and the imperial grandson said that no matter how busy he was, he would participate!"
"Huh?"
When Xu Miaoqing heard this, he finally showed a surprised expression on his face, which made Zhu Gui fascinated, he had never seen Xu Miaoqing react like this.
However, this is also what he is most proud of.
After all, there are only a handful of people in this world who can support the emperor's grandson, and he Zhu Gui is just one of them!
Xu Miaoqing was indeed a little flattered, she originally wanted to hold a low-key wedding. Now I heard that the imperial grandson will not only participate, but will act as the man's maid, so the level of the entire wedding must be raised to the next level.
"No!"
"If the imperial grandson acts as a concubine, then what we have prepared now will not be enough!"
"And our palace will also be renovated......
Xu Miaoqing thought that she couldn't sit still anymore, so she pulled Zhu Gui out of the store, went home and started to get busy.
After Xu Miaoqing left, the second floor ushered in another wave of guests.
Concubine Guo Hui led Lao Zhu's harem group and personally came to cheer Zhu Yunxi on.
Lao Zhu's harem group is also very obsessed with shopping, and bought a lot of flashy things on the second floor.
When Guo Huifei and others were enjoying the fun of shopping in the shopping mall, on the bell tower opposite the drum tower, there were two people, an old man and a young man.
"Eldest grandson, is this what kind of supply and marketing cooperatives you have conspired up?"
"yes!"
"Grandson told you, this is a good thing, and it will affect the Ming Dynasty for the next hundred years!"
Lao Zhu heard the boast of his eldest grandson and smiled noncommittally.
He thinks about the problem from a different angle than Zhu Yunxi, he is more worried that this move will cause criticism from people all over the world.
Zhu Yunxi opened a bookstore before, and it can still be said to be an elegant thing.
Now that you have a grocery store, isn't it going to be said that you are competing with the people for profit?
This reputation is not good, and even Lao Zhu avoids it.
However, Lao Zhu is very interested in another function of the supply and marketing cooperative, which is to purchase excess materials in the hands of the people, so that the people can have more money in their hands.
As long as Zhu Yunxi can handle this matter well, it will be a great achievement in his opinion.
Lao Zhu looked at the surging crowd below and asked thoughtfully.
"How many are you going to open in the capital?"
"Back to the emperor's grandfather, my grandson is expected to open four or five families in the capital."
"My grandson's main focus is on the rural market, and the city only symbolically opens a few and trains the clerks."
….
Lao Zhu nodded heavily when he heard this.
"Good!"
"You can do it boldly and boldly, if something happens, the imperial grandfather will bear it for you!"
When Zhu Yunxi heard Lao Zhu say this, he said gratefully.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
Lao Zhu smiled bitterly when he heard this.
"Don't play with us, we owe you a rebel grandson in our last life!"
Zhu Yunxi smirked when he heard this, and his smile was full of gratitude
of color.
The biggest obstacle to him doing this was the imperial court.
According to the words of his three masters, there must have been an official who wrote that he was competing with the people for profit.
If the emperor's grandfather believed them, then the supply and marketing cooperatives would definitely not be able to do it.
Now that he heard that the emperor's grandfather had packed the ticket for him, Zhu Yunxi was finally able to relax and do his own thing.
Below the bell tower, several imperial historians were also watching the crowd.
They think from a different angle than the old emperor, they only feel that the emperor's grandson's move is out of the imperial court.
Since ancient times, whose grandson has opened a grocery store?
This is not just a matter of competing with the people, but not even dough in order to make money!
"Brothers, how should we write this impeachment piece?"
When several imperial historians heard the words of their colleague Zhang Bin, they all shook their heads sadly.
"It's hard to do!"
"The imperial grandson is deeply favored by His Majesty, if we rush to the book, we will inevitably be punished by Your Majesty!"
Zhang Bin was a little heartbroken when he saw them so timid.
"Everyone!"
"We are the court's magistrates, and it is our bounden duty to correct the king's gains and losses, so how can we keep silent for fear of being punished?"
Several people were also a little embarrassed by Zhang Bin's words, and said stubbornly.
"Then Brother Zhang, what should we say about this?"
Zhang Bin thought for a while.
"If we directly impeach the emperor's grandson, it will inevitably cause His Majesty the emperor's displeasure."
"But the imperial grandson made such a big mistake, and even the small profits of the people were not spared, and the subordinate officials around him would definitely not be able to escape responsibility!"
"And the gentleman who is in charge of supervising the emperor's grandson is also responsible for this matter!"
When they heard this, their eyes lit up.
Yes!
Impeaching the emperor's grandson, the old emperor will definitely be mad.
However, the impeachment of the imperial grandson's subordinates, as well as his masters, will be fine!
This is called knocking on the mountain and shaking the tiger, referring to the mulberry and scolding the Huai, and hitting the mountain across the cow!
"High!"
"What Brother Zhang said is really high!"
"Let's do what Brother Zhang said!"
"As far as I know, the person in charge of this matter is a Guozi prisoner, who only got into the eyes of the imperial grandson because he sold the copy of the printed words, and he is a female cadre!"
"Let's impeach him!"
"He said that he competed with the people for profit, and that he was a defect in virtue!"
"Yes, yes, yes!"
"Let's just impeach Xie Kui, this person suddenly rose to a high position at a young age, and he must have a handle on him, let's go back and find someone to inquire, and be sure to impeach him into a sieve!"
Compared with the worries of the imperial historians, the real grocery store owners in the capital have a different view.
As early as when they learned that the imperial grandson was going to open a grocery store, they kept a close eye on the movements here.
Even a few days ago, they sneaked in by various means to check the layout of the interior and the goods that might be sold.
….
The people who queued up the most actively last night were their little shopkeepers.
Therefore, when the people shouted cheap and shouted to buy, buy, buy, buy, Liu Neng, the shopkeeper of Liu Ji grocery store in Beijing, Wang Fuqing of Fuqing grocery store, and Zhao Yuande of Dongcheng grocery store, were constantly evaluating the goods and prices in the supply and marketing cooperative.
Zhao Yuande is a notoriously big mouth, and he was the first to comment.
"Tsk, that's it!"
"I thought that the emperor's grandson would make a move, and all of us would have no way to live. Now that I look at it, it's just a big Nanyang goods store!"
"What are you selling?"
"Glass bowls, glass plates, soaps, soaps, matches, perfumes, ......"
"What is perfume for, why haven't you heard of this thing before?"
Wang Fuqing responded with a sneer.
"It is said to be similar to incense, but it is easier to use, no fire is needed, just sprinkle it on your body!"
Zhao Yuande pursed his lips again disdainfully when he heard this.
"Such a precious thing, at first glance, it is not something that ordinary people can afford, this is for the dignitaries!"
"But then again, even if the emperor's grandson doesn't open this shop, the dignitaries won't go to our shop to make soy sauce!"
When Liu Neng heard this, he slapped his thigh excitedly.
"That's right!"
"I just felt that something was wrong, I always felt that something was missing in this supply and marketing cooperative, it turned out that there was no soy sauce, vinegar, salt and the like."
When Liu Neng said this, his face immediately showed gratitude.
"This is the kindness of the imperial grandson, who is unwilling to rob our business!"
When the other two heard this, they all looked at Liu Neng curiously.
"Shopkeeper Liu, what do you mean by that?"
"The imperial grandson didn't even let go of this little profit, and you even said that it was a best-seller?"
Liu Neng sneered when he heard this.
"You two don't even think about it, whose house did you get the salt you sell from?"
Zhao Yuande and Wang Fuqing were stunned when they heard this, and then a frightened expression appeared on their faces.
According to the laws of the Ming Dynasty, only the government has the qualifications to issue salt introductions, and only with salt quotations can they go to the salt field to exchange salt.
Therefore, in other words, if the imperial grandson wants to sell salt, it can be said that he has a unique advantage.
He didn't even want to do it deliberately, just say hello to the officials below, then there was no one to bring him salt?
However, the imperial grandson does not do such a lucrative business, and specializes in selling some high-end things, which is to leave a way for these small shops to live!
The two of them figured out this joint, and their faces showed gratitude.
"Shopkeeper Liu is right, the emperor's grandson's accident has left us a way to live!"
When a few people were sighing, they suddenly saw an old acquaintance walking over.
"Hey!"
"Are you guys here too?"
Seeing this, several people hurriedly bowed their hands.
"Oh, it turned out to be the shopkeeper Tian, didn't you always run a silk village, why did you come to see this excitement like us who do small business?"
"Hey!"
"Didn't you receive an invitation from the Ministry of Commerce to let the old man come over for a meeting!"
When Tian Fugui said this, his face obviously showed a look of pride. When he saw the surprised expressions of the three of them, he was even more beautiful in his heart.
….
That's what he wants, and he wants to see his friends, who are also businessmen, show envious and surprised expressions.
"Ministry of Commerce, please?"
"Yes!"
"It is said that I was invited to come over to a symposium on the order of the emperor's grandson to discuss the future business situation in the capital!"
When Liu Neng and the others heard this, the expression on their faces could no longer be described as shock, and they were completely stunned.
They never imagined that the imperial grandson would be able to invite them to a meeting!
"Shopkeeper Tian, hurry up and tell us, what did the imperial grandson say?"
Tian Fugui smiled shyly.
"Oh, it's not as good as you say, I haven't even seen the face of the emperor's grandson, I only saw the head of the Ministry of Commerce, what is it called, in short, it's a strange name."
"However, according to the leader, the crown prince never wanted to compete with the people for profit, just to create a supply and marketing system covering the whole of the Ming Dynasty."
"We, the merchants, are also part of this system!"
"The children of our Shangjia family can still enter the supply and marketing cooperatives to eat the imperial grain, even if they can't work in the future, they will be supported by the emperor's grandson every month!"
When the three of them heard this, their eyes were about to pop out, especially the last sentence was the most devastating to them.
These businessmen, the most entangled is the son
Women's business.
Because according to the provisions of the Ming law, their children are not allowed to participate in the imperial examination, and can only engage in businessmen and lowly businesses for generations.
However, now they are told that their children can enter the property of the imperial grandson's family, and they can work for the rest of their lives, and even if they can't do it in the future, they will be paid, which seems to them to be like a dream.
Normally, this group of businessmen can have a relationship with the royal family after a few lifetimes, and being an imperial businessman is already a green smoke from the ancestral tomb!
Can you still be a royal person and do things for the royal family?
"Shopkeeper Tian, you didn't coax us, can the imperial grandson really look down on us cheap people?"
"How do we know this, we only know that Master Xie said so, believe it or not!"
"By the way, there will be a meeting on the third floor in a while, there are not many people here today, you can go over and listen!"
"Third floor?"
Several people asked with a confused look on their faces.
"Where do you go up to the third floor?"
"We're almost on the first floor, and we don't see a staircase!"
When Tian Fugui heard the three of them say this, the sense of superiority in his heart rose a little more.
"Hey, I forgot to tell you, the second and third floors of the supply and marketing building are closed to the public now, and the entrance to the third floor is in the backyard."
"Go out through the door, and see a big iron gate, and turn in and say my name, and say it's my friend!"
When a few people heard Tian Fugui's last words, they only thought he was bragging, but they listened very carefully to what Tian Fugui said.
Several people came to the backyard of the supply and marketing cooperative, and sure enough, they saw a large iron gate. just saw a few brocade guards guarding the side, which made a few people a little apprehensive, and they refused to come forward to ask.
The three of them struggled for a while, and finally pushed Zhao Dazui to the front with a push, asking him to find out the truth.
….
[To tell the truth, I've been using @
to an old acquaintance, the shopkeeper Sun who sells porcelain on East Street.
Sun Ruhai saw a few people walking sneakily by the wall, so he hurriedly stood up and beckoned the three of them over.
"Oh, you've been invited, too?"
The three of them agreed hesitantly.
"Ahh......h
"Brother Sun came early, do you know what you want to talk about today?"
Sun Ruhai asked in surprise when he heard this.
"You don't know?"
"Know, know...... I just don't know how specific it is."
"Actually, it's nothing, it's just that Master Xie said that the shares of the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and Jinling Coal Industry are about to be sold, so let's talk about the rules in advance."
"Huh?"
When several people heard this, they exclaimed again.
There are so many amazements for them today, more than they have experienced in the previous half of their lives!
"Brother Sun, what you said is true, the royal family is really willing to sell the shares of these two families?"
They are all people who beg for a living on the streets of the capital, and they know the Minggang Chamber of Commerce and the Jinling Coal Chamber of Commerce best.
In their words, these are two old hens that lay golden eggs!
If anyone can buy a few, it will be a golden rice bowl to be passed on to future generations!
Sun Ruhai saw that a few people didn't even know about it, and immediately knew that he had been deceived, maybe these guys heard about it from someone else, and then ran up secretly.
….
He was a little skeptical just now, and it was said that this symposium was invited according to the ranking of net worth.
If your net worth is less than the standard line of 10,000 taels, you won't even be qualified to enter the venue!
When Sun Ruhai thought of this, the expression on his face became a little more playful.
"What Master Xie said naturally can't be faked."
"However, it is said that this share is quite expensive, at least one hundred taels of silver per share, and other idlers can't afford it!"
When several people heard this, they were all shocked.
One hundred taels of silver is indeed not a small amount, and they can't afford much with their net worth.
However, when they saw Sun Ruhai's expression, the resentment in their hearts suddenly jumped up.
Who does this dog look down on?
Although we run a grocery store and don't make money from his porcelain shop, we have also earned tens of thousands of taels of silver thanks to Emperor Zhu's blessings over the years, and it's no problem to buy a few hundred shares, right?
Zhao Yuande thought of this and looked at Sun Ruhai provocatively.
"Dare to ask Shopkeeper Sun, how many thousand shares are you going to buy?"
Sun Ruhai smiled wryly when he heard this.
"Hey!"
"How can we afford to buy so many shares, and buy a few hundred shares as heirlooms!"
Zhao Yuande said with a smile when he heard this.
"Coincidentally!"
"I'm also going to buy a few hundred shares and give the family business to the kid who doesn't have a good family!"
When Sun Ruhai heard Zhao Yuande's big tone, his heart was a little shocked.
He really looked down on these people a little, and felt that the grocery stores opened by them were not worthy of comparing with his own business.
"Brother Zhao has such courage, but Sun is impressed."
Zhao Yuande said with a surging smile.
"Shopkeeper Sun should have forgotten, our grocery store not only sells groceries, but also sells pickles, soy sauce, salt and the like at the same time."
"This is the capital again, there are so many merchants from the south to the north, and each purchase is a few hundred catties!"
When Sun Ruhai heard this, he slapped his head in annoyance, and said in his heart that he had forgotten about it.
If there are any people in the capital who are so rich that they are not visible and do not show water, it must be these grocery stores that sell salt.
Salt and iron have been huge profits since ancient times, can they occupy one of them, and worry about having no money to make?
Even if they earn 1,000 taels a year, from Daming Dingding to the present, it has been peaceful for more than 20 years, and it is too normal for every household to have a net worth of tens of thousands of taels of silver.
Sun Ruhai thought of this, and hurriedly greeted a few people warmly
sat together, and asked the guys on the side to serve tea to a few people.
A few people were not polite, so they sat down with a big grin, and drank the tea of the "imperial grandson".
It's not bad, Ming Qian Longjing!
Although it is concocted by the tea pouring method, the taste is acceptable.
It's just that it's still a little worse than what they usually drink at home, and it lacks that fragrant taste.
However, when a few people were happily drinking tea, more than a dozen brocade guards suddenly rushed in at the door.
"Everybody stand up!"
"Dare to ask Master Jun, why are we standing up?"
"Search!"
"Let's see if you have a murder weapon!"
When a few people heard this, their faces were bloodless, they had never experienced this kind of battle at all.
On the contrary, it was Sun Ruhai, as if he had thought of something, and instead of panicking, his face was faintly expectant and shocked.
"Hurry!"
"Hurry up and stand up, maybe the imperial grandson will come today!"
Fiery chicken fir
