Chapter 855
The movement at the door alarmed the shopkeeper again. It happened that a guy saw everything just now and told the shopkeeper about the situation.So, the shopkeeper hurriedly came to this elegant room with the best view, and said with a smile: "Thank you, the guest officer, for letting go of those crazy students. This time, the tea in the shop will give you a [-]% discount, as a token of appreciation for the shop." Thank you very much!"

If there was a fight just now, not to mention who would win in the end, it would definitely affect the business of the tea shop.The shopkeeper was also able to read people. He knew that this group of people came from the north. Seeing that there were so many followers on horseback, they should be people with a lot of background and dare not offend.

Otherwise, one-time guests like Emperor Chongzhen and the others would naturally not treat their tea shop better than those scholars, and their tea shop would help those scholars.

Seeing the shopkeeper speak like this, Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said: "If you disturb the shopkeeper's business, I can no longer ask you for a discount from the tea shop, and the tea price remains the same."

"No, no, it's rare for a few of you to come to the shop..."

Before the shopkeeper finished speaking, Liu Xingzuo said coldly, "Didn't you hear what the master said?"

"..." The shopkeeper was taken aback when he heard it, and he insisted on pushing out the discount?You... This is not the same as those people trying to save face, why are you still in conflict!

As everyone knows, the identity of the person in front of him is very special, and it's not a matter of face that he keeps his promises.Of course, Emperor Chongzhen didn't mean that, and he didn't firmly remember that he was the emperor when he was in a micro-service.But Liu Xingzuo did it himself. There is another reason for this. Liu Xingzuo, a Han in Liaodong, has a deep impression on the situation in Liaodong. Compared with what he saw and thought in Jiangnan, it would be strange if he said he had no opinion. .But the emperor didn't allow him to beat people just now, and he couldn't do anything about it, he was somewhat angry.

After Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he didn't care about it.Now that he had talked to the shopkeeper, he simply asked: "Is what they said true?"

Hearing the words of the person in charge, the shopkeeper did not dare to neglect.Although the young man in front of him was talking with a smile, for some reason, he felt a faint sense of pressure, which was greater than the pressure of meeting his boss. He said cautiously: "It's true, if you walk around more, the guest officer, you will be surprised." Strange!"

After finishing speaking, he carefully checked Emperor Chongzhen's face, and then glanced at Liu Xingzuo from the corner of his eye. Seeing that there was no adverse reaction, he continued to explain: "Actually, we in the south of the Yangtze River are relatively rich. Every family can have a little money. People, as long as they have money, they will think about being decent. The so-called food and clothing, thinking and desire, most people naturally want to enjoy themselves..."

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted again. This time it was Concubine Tian Gui: "How do I hear that, the ancients have a saying, the warehouse knows the etiquette, and the food and clothing know the honor and disgrace."

Hearing this, the shopkeeper turned to look at her, and saw that she was a woman disguised as a man. She had such a beautiful appearance and good temperament that she had never seen her in her life, so she was even more cautious.However, the young master was not angry, explaining that he was not offensive when he said these words, and continued to explain: "This young master is also right. The so-called knowing honor and disgrace when you have enough food and clothing is a decent thing, but it is actually knowing honor and disgrace." and also!"

Concubine Tian Gui didn't think of it for a while when she heard this explanation, she couldn't help but froze and didn't speak.

Emperor Chongzhen already understood the problem, and sighed in his heart, but he said with a smile on the surface: "The basic necessities of life are all in the decent way they want, so the craftsmen in these aspects should have a good business, right?"

"My lord is right!" The shopkeeper nodded immediately, and replied with a smile, "If there is a need, there must be something. In our Jiangnan area, as long as there is craftsmanship, the family background is pretty good. Especially those with superb craftsmanship, often Call it a master, and become a guest of rich or powerful people in Jiangnan."

Emperor Chongzhen had already figured this out, nodded, and after asking a few more questions that he was more concerned about, he asked Fang Zhenghua to pay the bill, and the group of them continued on their way.

After getting on the horse and there was no one around, Fang Zhenghua said to Emperor Chongzhen, "My lord, everything in the south of the Yangtze River is in chaos!"

When the others heard this, they all looked at the emperor, wondering if the emperor would be very angry.After all, there are no outsiders here, and the emperor may tell his true thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Emperor Chongzhen let the tall horse under his crotch move forward slowly, looked up at the village in the distance and said: "It can't be said to be a mess, this is what will happen naturally after the people's life is rich, without the government's deliberate guidance. Condition."

"From what the shopkeeper said just now, I deliberately confirmed that these are not isolated cases. Now that I know it, I won't let this kind of thing continue to develop." Emperor Chongzhen said with a frown.

He thought of Europe at this time. Their living standards have improved, but they have invested so far in the research and development of science and technology.But relatively speaking, after Daming Jiangnan became rich, it spent more money on personal enjoyment, and didn't think about making progress, thinking that Daming was the best in the world.All the attention has been paid to the exquisite clothes and utensils worn by those scholars just now.

It's okay to just say that, after all, the better these things are, the easier they are to export.However, if the country is unstable and its military equipment is insufficient, it is impossible to keep these exquisite things. According to the original historical development, it will only make it cheaper for Jianlu, and eventually for the Western countries.

When Emperor Chongzhen thought of this, he thought of Zhou Yanru again.He seems to be in Nanjing, just let him educate scholars and think about changing the atmosphere.I don't know if the atmosphere in Nanjing is better than here?
Thinking about these things, the group continued on their way.Along the way, because of the incident at the tea shop, almost everyone paid attention to everything they saw.

Sure enough, they discovered that the people in Jiangnan seem to be more respectful, which is reflected in all aspects.In the city of about [-] households that I just passed by, one family was holding a wedding banquet. It used a running water banquet, and it had chicken, duck and fish meat. According to Liu Xingzuo’s words afterwards, the wedding banquet this time may be able to top the one in Liaodong. The people of Fort have already paid for a month.

In the afternoon, the city of Suzhou was in sight.However, their attention was not on Suzhou City, but not far from them, a place about a hundred meters away from the official road.

I saw a lot of people around there, discussing something loudly, it seemed to be lively and interesting.

Seeing this, Concubine Tian Gui was curious, so she said to Emperor Chongzhen: "Master, Suzhou City is ahead, it's still early, why don't we go and have a look?"

 Thanks forty frogs for their rewards!
