Chongzhen chat group

Chapter 873 Despised (Third)

They were chatting when they suddenly saw Tian Guifei coming out of the cubicle.Behind her, Fang Zhenghua followed, holding three bolts of silk and satin in his hands.

Concubine Tian Guifei walked up to the emperor and said a little shyly, "My lord, I couldn't hold back for a while, and I used up all the expenses for the past few days."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the pieces of silk and satin, nodded and said: "It's okay, let's go shopping again, if there are still things I like, I can pay them in advance. I will spend them later when the family has money."

This is also something that can’t be helped. After crossing over, the treasury can starve to death of rats, a huge amount of debt, how many people are waiting to be fed, Emperor Chongzhen has been busy for a year, and finally made up for the salary of the frontier army, and developed a few new ones. An industry, but not much money, it can only be regarded as a source of money.For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, everyone has to tighten their belts to live.

This southern tour cost a lot of money, and the internal treasury was only a few coins, so even Tian Guifei had a limited amount of money to spend every day.

After listening to the emperor's words, Concubine Tian Gui nodded her head as a matter of course.But Chen Youming, who was beside him, was stunned.

He didn't expect that this young man, who was watching the big scene and accompanied by around twenty entourages, would be so hard-pressed.Thinking of this, he suddenly felt a little guilty for the entertainment fees he charged yesterday.At the same time, I also doubted my vision, afraid that this young master is not a high official in the government, right?

At this moment, someone came out from the private room of the shop, it was a young and beautiful woman, and a clerk led the way out.Followed by two servant girls and two servants, the two servants were holding a stack of silk and satin in their hands, and they could hardly see the way.

When the woman passed by Concubine Tian Gui, she was taken aback for a moment, as if she was shocked by Concubine Tian Gui's beauty, and her eyes were obviously a little jealous.However, when he saw the three pieces of silk and satin in Fang Zhenghua's hands behind Concubine Tian Gui, he glanced sideways at Emperor Chongzhen, raised his chin slightly, hummed in a low voice, turned his head and went out.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that I would be despised!" Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Liu Xingzuo was furious, he raised his legs and wanted to follow, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen yell, "What are you doing?"

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, and retreated back to stand with his hands down.

Seeing this scene, Chen Youming was quite surprised.He looked at Emperor Chongzhen with a hint of admiration in his eyes.Thinking about so many passers-by who didn't reach out, only this young master extended his hand to help, and he felt that it seemed that this young master's self-cultivation was the best he had ever seen in his life!

"Work hard to make money, let everyone inside and outside the family have more money earlier!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed, smiled at Concubine Tian Gui, then turned and walked out.

To be honest, Concubine Tian Gui was furious just now, if the emperor hadn't expressed her opinion first, she would definitely make that woman look good.But when she watched the emperor go out, she had no choice but to follow, but she thought in her heart, the emperor is going on tour in low clothes, it is better to do less and not cause trouble for the emperor.

After leaving the shop, her interest was obviously low, and she passed by some shops that she usually liked, but she didn't go in, she just walked around with the emperor to have a look.In this way, it will go faster.

It has to be said that Nanxun Town is really prosperous. In addition to Husi as the pillar industry, because of the concentration of people and money, there are also all kinds of service industries that follow.Just walking on the street, it is really difficult to distinguish whether this is a town or a city.

Emperor Chongzhen walked casually, and seemed to chat casually with Chen Youming: "Where do those Fujian and Guangdong merchants mostly go to trade, do they have a regular shop?"

"Generally speaking, if you are a regular customer, of course there is a fixed dental agency. They don't even need to send someone to come, and pay Husi every year as agreed." Chen Youming obviously knows a lot, "But this year's situation is special. For the first official Husi transaction after the opening of the sea, whether it is a regular customer or not, I am afraid that someone will be sent to renegotiate the contract, or more purchases will be made."

"Those Hokkien and Cantonese businessmen, as far as the villain knows, naturally go to the largest dental shops in Nanxun Town to buy and sell. Otherwise, their appetites are too big, and small dental shops may not be able to satisfy them." Chen You Having said this, Ming introduced to Emperor Chongzhen, "These silk shops can be divided into big shops, small shops, and small leaders. Small shops are also called Zhuangzhuang, which is a large shop that buys them for a fee, while small shops are commonly known as Master Baila, Zhaoxiang silk will be sold on his behalf, and a small profit will be taken. Daxing is divided into Jingzhuang, Guangzhuang, Jingzhuang, and Xiangzhuang. The place where the Fujian and Guangdong merchants traded is actually this Guangzhuang. .”

"Oh!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then asked again: "Then where is Guangzhuang? I want to go and see!"

"There are two places in Guangzhuang, one is at the east end of the town, which is opened by our Chen family. The other is at the west end of the town, which is opened by the Wang family." Chen Youming introduced, pointing to the front and saying, "Let's go to Street, cross the bridge, and walk two more streets, you will arrive at Chen’s Guangzhuang.”

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and motioned him to lead the way.

Or because he knew what kind of news Emperor Chongzhen liked to hear, Chen Youming was silent for a while, and then began to introduce again: "This year's silkworm farmers have already made preparations in advance because of the national policy of opening the sea, and the output is estimated to be large. The villain estimates , our Nanxun town may have at least 1000 packs this year, and the selling price will be around [-] million taels."

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being very surprised when he heard this, about 1000 million taels, this is just the transaction amount here in Nanxun Town, is it an exaggeration?He didn't know that this valuation was actually not an exaggeration at all.It is clearly recorded in the "Nanxun Town Chronicles" of later generations.

They walked and talked, and soon came to the side of the river.Before approaching, Chen Youming smiled and pointed to the boats moored by the bridge: "Young master, please look, those are silkworm farmers rushing out to sell lake silk. The sooner they come out for sale, the higher the price will be. Wait until there are a lot of lake silk If it goes public, the price will go up and down. Just the price difference in the middle is enough for ordinary people to live a better life."

Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen also understood this truth. He nodded, hoping that the silkworm farmers could sell for more money, after all, it was their hard-earned money.

As they got closer, they found noises coming from the river in front of them, and there were faint sounds of quarreling.Hearing this, Chen Youming couldn't help sighing.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious, so he asked, "What happened in front?"

"You don't need to look, it must be Xingba who is bullying those silkworm farmers." Chen Youming replied immediately, obviously, he seemed to have seen too much.
