Chapter 57 The hoe helps the weak
Jing Hewei, the son of the immortal family of Yunwu Kingdom, originally did not necessarily go to the mortal yamen once a month to order Mao, but this month was surprisingly diligent, less than a month and a half, he had already appeared in the yamen five times, each time, he brought the family's instructions for the placement of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and each time they were thoughtful and harshly worded, so that the oldest old fritters in the yamen couldn't help but bring 120,000 points of respect when they mentioned the bland words "merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country".
They said to each other privately that Jing and Wei could still be offended, but the "merchant representative of the Hundred Eyes Country", who represented the power of the Hundred Eyes Immortal Family, could not be offended.
"If you offend, the Hundred Eyes Country Immortal Family will ask me for the Yunwu Kingdom. β
This is a reasonable explanation, so everyone in the yamen also publicized it as a real reason, this is simply something that does not need to be reviewed with the Jing family or other immortal families, if it is not for the fear of the Hundred Eyes Country Immortal Family behind the Hundred Eyes Country merchants to ask for guilt, how can Jing Hewei, as a child of the Hundred Eyes Country, do everything himself like those Hundred Eyes Country businessmen, when those mortal merchants are like his closest relatives? The others are the merchants who are related to the Jing family, and he never cares about it!
As for the distribution of the power of the Hundred Eyes Immortal Family, and the power of the Yunwu Immortal Family, where can these mortals who are dying in the twilight of life be able to understand! What they saw was Jing Hewei, who didn't even take care of the affairs of the soldiers and horses, and this time they even asked them to take care of everything about the food and lodging of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, so they naturally equated the status of Jing and Wei with the stewards of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and then equated the status of the Jing family with the mortal managers of the Hundred Eyes Immortal Family.
Once these equal signs are established in their minds, many things can't wait to report to Jing and Wei, and the old fritters in the yamen who don't usually do anything will move their minds, draw the road for the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country in advance, come up with ideas, and check the explanation, which is more diligent than doing things for the Jing family.
For example, Jing and Wei brought instructions to them to find another clean inn in the city for the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and not to mingle with the merchants of other countries.
The people in the yamen spread out the map and saw that there was not much open space in the city, and Jing and Wei repeatedly said that they should teach the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country to feel at home, not to let them feel sluggish, not to let them be harassed by mediocre people, not to let them enter and exit inconveniently, first of all, the general narrow streets and alleys are not considered, a grand mansion is needed, and secondly, it is not too close or too far from the lively commercial street, if you say renting a house, Jing and Wei did not give a penny of funds, back and forth a few times, someone came up with the idea, the annual examination school officials vacated with them, anyway, those officials are told to go to the suburbs to test, how dare not goIf you are dissatisfied, dare to say to the Jing family?
So a group of merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, they lived in the official examination room in the city in a grand manner, on the day of the relocation, the whole city roared, all the old and young came to see, and saw that sure enough, the officials avoided concessions, and in the future, all the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country did business, and did not dare to ask how much the purchase price, nor did they dare to ask how much the selling price, that is, a little horse boy who saw these merchants, became the eyes of the master's family, went straight to the cabinet and turned over the cabinet, silver and copper coins, only dared to take it, did not dare to say a word "thief", and said: "Seeing that the officials still occupy it, not to mention my little capital!" β
After doing a lot of these things, there was an upright official who was slightly close to the Jing family, in front of Jing and Wei, and said a little bit about abiding by the law and discipline is the way to do business, Jing and Wei didn't listen to it, and when they heard it, they blushed and had a seizure on the spot-
"I've said it again and again, it's not easy for these merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country to live here, why should they be asked to keep the rules they don't understand?
While having a seizure, he ordered someone to take off the official's black yarn, and the whole family sent it to five hundred miles away to raise horses, and asked someone to solemnly invite the representative of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and served a cup of cold tea with his own hands, so that they could live here with peace of mind, and he had already taught his officials the rules of the Hundred Eyes Country, and it was expected that they would not commit any more crimes in the futureγ
Jing Hewei sent away the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and sneered when he heard this: "Why are there still many shops selling hot tea on the street!
As soon as Jing and Wei left, they led many small officials and soldiers to the street to overturn all the shops selling hot tea and rice on the street for the crime of "insulting the immortal family of the Hundred Eyes Country", and the boss arrested them all, or fined them one hundred silver, or used them as hard labor, and each person sent said: "If you offend the fairy family, you would have to behead the dogs, but now you are so careless, it is still the grace of me to intercede with you in front of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country." β
Those shops who were lucky enough to keep the dog's head, after that, heard a "hundred" word, or "eye" Words, there are those who have no bones in their knees, and those who faint on the spot, so in a few days, the atmosphere in the city has changed, the hundred words are read as ten, the eyes are read as eyes, and the merchants are read as nobles, and there are many other taboos, so that the newcomers are dizzy, thinking that they have strayed into the ghost country of Yiwai, and when they inquire clearly, they think that they are more powerful than the ghost country of Yiwai, after all, the reputation of the ghost country outside the country is there, this Yunwu country is suddenly not allowed to have hot tea and hot meals, nor to write a signboard, the yamen in the city is inevitably closed with people who violate taboos, and every day is not fined thousands of silver, but the officials who handle it are full of money, and they have to read thousands of times for Jing and Wei and the merchants of the Hundred Eyes country every day, hoping that they will have more taboos that the people of the city do not know, so that they can make more money.
There are also some clever merchants in the city, seeing this, they quietly sent dozens of silver into the residence of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, not only exempted from fines and hard labor, but also obtained a few banners of "Acting for the Hundred Eyes Goods", and since then they have developed in the city, and they are also like the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country to take everything, invincible, seeing these good things, soon, the large boxes and small burdens were sent to the residence of the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country, and there were more than they took themselves.
Jing and Wei watched this chicken, flying and dogs, returned to the courtyard, hugged the merchants of the Hundred Eyes Country to honor his new concubine, and grinned at those merchants and said: "What? I said that the head snake of the ground is not to be afraid, this is not for you to hoe a lot, don't be afraid that there is no one behind you, with me, just take this city as your inheritance, we are in-laws, what else do we share with each other?"
When those merchants heard this, they also smiled happily one by one, you said how much silver you had made for the people of the city, and how much industry he said for the merchants from other places, and finally they all said, these must be the shares of Jing Youwei and the son of the new concubine in the future.
Jing and Wei thought so.
Yes, his child has both the bloodline of the Jing family and the bloodline of the Hundred Eyes Country Immortal Family, no matter which party is in power, his son is still worried that he can't be a master?
