Ming dynasty grand dude

Liu Jin and Zhang Yong on the side seemed not to see this presumptuous move at all, and studied the artillery with lowered eyebrows and eyes.

"I have thick skin and thick flesh, strong muscles and strong bones! Even the strong wind from the northwest can't blow me apart!!"

Chapter 3 is written to take a thin bamboo and make a fishing rod on the autumn river

In Jingshi City, in Qingshou Building.

The leaders of the various guilds and the heads of the township associations guild halls covered their bodies in burqas with solemn expressions, and sneaked in silently from behind the shadows.

No one in the capital knew who owned this lean building, but only knew that the owner of this building was mysterious and powerful.

Moreover, this Qingshoulou is now the most profitable and the most high-end restaurant in the capital. The dishes are novel, the color and fragrance are beautiful, not to mention the decoration is also extremely luxurious.

There is an elegant other courtyard inside, where you can live temporarily, invite famous chefs to make spoons, or ask the housekeeper of the other courtyard to send the banquet to you to enjoy.

Now in the most luxurious Qiufengjiang Courtyard in Qingshou Building, several figures in Taoist robes slowly took off their burqas.

Yao Shun, the new left servant of the Ministry of War, Liu Chao, the right servant of the Ministry of Industry, Wang Zezhao, a bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, and so on, all the important ministers of the state are impressively listed!

Seeing this, the rest of the figures also silently took off their burqas, and all the figures in the shadows were all the big businessmen in the capital.

"Time is running out, so don't say much! The market will be closed tomorrow, and the store cannot be opened!!"

Yao Shun's beard and beard were calm and unmoving, and his face with Chinese characters was absolutely determined: "Since Your Majesty refuses to punish this country, we should take ourselves as an admonition!"

Then I saw Chen Jie and Chen Shenyi standing up slowly, bowing and bowing: "The noble food and fodder are all exhausted, and the sign of 'sold out' has already been put up today!"

"Tomorrow, all you need is to unite as one and climb high, and the capital will definitely be shaken! Your Majesty must also pay attention!!"

Strike!The owners of these township associations and guild leaders remained silent, although strikes were not unprecedented.

Someone did this in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and it was very successful.

In the Song Dynasty, merchants banded together to siege high prices and sell goods to government offices, and the horse infantry army headed out to find out who wanted to be fined or sent to prison, but they were united to stop the market.

In the end, Song Taizu chose to compromise, and even issued an edict to "specially exempt from crime, and no lawsuits are allowed" for those who falsely reported to the government.

This kind of compromise undoubtedly fueled the arrogance of the strikers, so that almost no one dared to point fingers at the wealthy businessmen.

But if it is said to go on strike in the most benevolent place in the capital, it really takes a little courage.

"Everyone, don't forget how the Jinyang families were defeated!"

Seeing that these museum owners and leaders still hesitated, Chen Jie and Chen Shenyi couldn't help but sneer with dark eyes and said: "If you don't kill this beast..."

"Their yesterday is our tomorrow!!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the museum owners and leaders were panting like cows, and they knew a thing or two about the situation in Jinyang after many inquiries.

Which one of these people sitting here is much cleaner than those gentry and aristocrats in Jinyang? !

"Done!!"

When Liu Daxia and Ma Wensheng arrived at the gate of the palace again, they saw Yao Shun's party and Liu Daxia greet them silently.

"What is Yi Ke going to do?! Force His Majesty to kill that idiot?!"

Before Yao Shun could speak, a Hanlin scholar next to him yelled out with a sneer on his face: "Hey~! Chihuer~! Mr. Liu is so kind to shout!..."

"Liu Gong is also a clean stream, why did he fall so far!" Yao Shun squinted his eyes, stroking his beard and beard to stop the restlessness behind him.

All of a sudden, he felt like a famous person in the imperial court and a trendy person in the officialdom, thinking that behind him was the gathering of many forces in the capital.

Immediately, Yao felt that his waist was straightened a bit by the way: "Let's see if we will kill the country, go and rest!!"

After saying that, he turned away with a cold snort.

Inside the capital, when the morning sun was slowly rising, the people of the capital who got up early discovered a remarkable thing in astonishment.

Almost all the shops, restaurants, grain stores, cloth shops... all put up the sign of "Closed Business", and the doors were closed.

For a while, even the most stupid people realized that this is going to strike the market!

Immediately, countless people rushed to the stalls selling the "Imperial Times" in a panic, and found that some of these bookstores were still open.

Xiao Shen, Xiao Shuzhi, the shopkeeper of Baowentang, was still standing at the door with a smile, as if there was no difference from the past.

Those scholars who came to buy articles were immediately relieved, after all, if something happened, he, Xiao Shen, Uncle Xiao must be the first to know.

His uncle is the one who drives by His Majesty's side, who else has better news than him? !

"Today, Chaobaihefang City outside the city opens!"

However, Xiao Shen and Uncle Xiao Zhi clicked on the huge advertisement in the "Imperial Times"——Chaobai Wharf Square City, both intentionally and unintentionally.

"If you have nothing to do, you can go and have a look. There are free transfers outside the city."

As soon as the words came out, the readers quickly opened the "Imperial Times" and took a look. After reading it, they excitedly bowed to Xiao Shen to thank them, and then left in a hurry.

The "squeaky~~" city gate gradually opened, and the first thing that came out was a custom-made carriage that no one had ever seen before.

This carriage can be seen at a glance as a custom-made model of the Yujiatang, and there are many guards holding the handle of the knife and watching the wolf.

The carriage rumbled away from the city gate, and the others were allowed to enter and leave the capital.

But today those who butcher pigs and sell meat, pick vegetables and deliver oil, are told that most of the shops in the city are closed.

Ask them to go to Chaobai Wharf Square Market, which is newly opened today.He also asked them to go there quickly, because there would be no booths if they went late.

A copy of "Imperial Times" was posted on the bulletin board in front of the city gate, and those who could read some characters also went to Chaobai River.

"Come on if you have something to do, leave the court if you have nothing to do~~!"

In the court hall, Yao Shun and the others pointed at the Patchouli Wanfu Umbrella placed on the throne dragon chair with their eyes tearing open.

"Where is Your Majesty?! Why can this be placed on the throne?!"

Xiao Jing's face was calm, and his voice did not have a trace of smoke and fire: "This is the 'Bai Na Wan Blessing Umbrella' dedicated to His Majesty by the [-] disaster victims..."

"Your Majesty once decreed: This umbrella is the most important treasure of the empire, and if I come to the place where it is located!"

Yao Shun's face was ashen, and he growled in a low voice: "What about the answer His Majesty promised?!"

"Today, all the people in the capital strike the market, all the noble grain merchants are sold out, and the people inside and outside the city are waiting to be fed...but His Majesty who caused this incident did not punish..."

Yao Shun, who was glaring with anger, stepped forward with his head held high, and glared: "What is the law of heaven?! Where is the ethics of ethics?!"

"Where is the law of heaven! Where is the ethics of Gangchang!!"

Yesterday's seven servants and more than a dozen Hanlin felt their blood boil, and they stepped forward proudly and roared with angry eyes!

"The square market in the city is closed, but the square market at Chaobai River Wharf has opened..."

"More than [-]% of the shops in the capital are open in Chaobai River Wharf Square today, so don't worry."

Yao Shun and the others were stunned for a while when they heard this, but they were interrupted by Xiao Jing directly.

Xiao Jing's voice was very soft, like a breeze blowing on his face: "There is nothing wrong with the grain and moss, the 50 stone grain and moss transported by Qian Tong from Yizhou arrived today..."

"Boom!!!" At this moment, there was a huge explosion roaring from far away!

For a moment, these waiters and Hanlin who were already dumbfounded fell to the ground with a "plop~" in fright.

"My lords, don't be afraid..."

Xiao Jing still had the appearance of the ancient well without waves, and said softly: "This is a newly cast artillery for the empire, Your Majesty... just go to test the artillery."

Chapter 3 is written to take a thin bamboo and make a fishing rod on the autumn river

Chen Jie and Chen Shenyi got up complacently. This was the best night he had slept in recently.

With a smile, he put on his robe under the service of his concubine, and slowly stepped out of the bedroom to the dining room.

The old butler quickly delivered today's "Imperial Times", and it is one of his habits to read the "Imperial Times" during breakfast every day.

Chen Shenyi, who was originally calmly eating oily fruits and porridge with soy milk, suddenly froze his eyes, and his whole body froze.

The huge title of "The Capital Chaobai River Wharf Square City Opens Today" suddenly caught his eyes, and his original good mood disappeared immediately.

"Hmph~! It's just hitting a rock with an egg."

Chen Shenyi smiled disdainfully, so what if he opened a market? !

If no one goes there, there is no food and fodder, even if the market is open, it will be duckweed on the river at best.

Even though he said so, Chen Shenyi was always a little uneasy, he drank a bowl of soy milk in a hurry, Chen Shenyi finally stood up and walked to the door.

"Uncle De, prepare the car!"

Chen Shenyi narrowed his eyes slightly, and said, "Go out of the city and have a look."

"Yes, sir!"

Chen Shenyi's carriage is not a very high-end carriage, not even the carriage of Zanyingfang.

It was an Antaifu B-type five-seater carriage from Junshufang, but the interior was adjusted according to his own preferences.

Even though he had to let that Jade Chihu earn money, Chen Shenyi still would rather spend more money and earn this money for others than for Jade Chihu.

The carriage "da da da..." was driving on the street, looking at the shops with the doors still closed and the sign "Closed business"...

Chen Shenyi couldn't help but smiled disdainfully, thinking of the crooked trick of opening the Chaobai River Wharf Square City is considered a quick talent.

Thinking that such a genius was about to fall, Chen Shenyi couldn't help but feel a little bit emotional and proud.

The carriage was driving gradually, and Chen Shenyi noticed that there were people rushing out of the city in a hurry.

When his carriage came out of the city, he saw all kinds of freight and passenger carriages waiting for guests as mentioned in the "Imperial Times".

The mantis is just a car, Chen Shenyi laughed dumbfounded: If there are no shops open, or if they open, there will be nothing to sell.

So what if these people were deceived? !Isn't it useless? !

Even if the nobles supported him, they opened some shops in that port city.

But what about the peddlers? !It is said that the capital is supported by the big businessmen, but in fact it is the peddlers who consume the most.

Some hawkers live in the capital city, but more hawkers live outside the capital city.

Every morning when the sky was bright, these peddlers began to gather towards the city gate.

These peddlers are also one of the biggest sources of tax revenue for Shuntian Mansion, and the city gate tax is worth a lot of money every day.

Leaning on the carriage and putting down the curtain, Chen Jie and Chen Shenyi closed his eyes and prepared to rest.

He felt that he was making a fuss out of a molehill, so why did he have to visit this so-called "Chaobai River Wharf Square" in person? !

"Uncle De, hurry up! We have to go back to eat later."

After ordering, Chen Jie tapped his waist, lamenting that after all, his energy will not be good when he is old...

The speed of the carriage gradually picked up, and after bumping for a while, it quickly stabilized.

Chen Jie lifted the curtain of the car with some doubts, and saw that the ground was actually paved with cement!

The concrete avenue, which can accommodate three carriages in parallel, is straight in the direction of the Chaobai River wharf.

This family does indeed have some skills, Chen Jie smiled, at least this straight way is good.

At that time, he will have to hand over the cement recipe. By the way, the Chaobai River Wharf is a good idea...

The speed of the straight road was very fast, and the carriage rumbled along the straight road and approached the pier.

But the closer he got to the pier, Chen Jie's face became more and more livid, and the number of people along the way gradually increased.

The number of carriages gradually increased, and when his carriage was still about two miles away from the pier...

From a distance, they saw a large number of carriages, which were parked in each parking space under the command of the old men with armbands on their shoulders.

From a distance, I saw that those freight carriages could enter and unload, and there were carts that could help them transport the goods to the market.

On the other hand, the passenger carriage arrives at a special passenger stop, and departs immediately after putting down the guests.

Looking at the sky, it seems that the morning court in the court hall is about to start at this time? !

After the carriage came to a slow stop, Uncle De opened the door and lifted up the steps to let Chen Jie come down.

Seeing only the bustling crowd in the carriage parking lot, Chen Jie's face became gloomy.

This seems... completely different from what he expected!
