Drunk Qingqiu

There was natural admiration in the plum-green eyes. Seeing that Yinzhen had disappeared, he turned around and looked at the people in the middle of the room with a smile, "Peter, your bad taste is really unbearable. Brother Jiu is My savior, you clearly know it, but you still cooperate with others to bully him."

While complaining, Mei walked to the high-backed chair on the other side of the table and sat down.The rest stood respectfully.

The young man named Peter laughed and looked at Mei jokingly, "Because you never forgot back then, you praised the ninth elder brother of the Qing Dynasty unparalleled. Now that I have finally met the right master, of course I can't help it." Give him a hard time."

Peter reached out to pick up the wine glass, raised the glass with Mei, and smiled: "Why, you don't want to see his embarrassed expression?"

Mei shook the cup in her hand, then drank it down, and said with a smile: "How is it possible, I want to see it very much."

The next day, Yinzhen took Gao Wengaowu around the city of Kulun, only to find out what happened to the so-called shortage of shops and warehouses.

Since ancient times, the regime in the Central Plains has taken great precautions against the nomadic peoples of the grasslands politically and economically.This is especially true in the Ming Dynasty, although it promoted the tribute market trade.It enabled Mongolian herdsmen to trade silk, porcelain, etc. with the mainland with livestock products such as horses, cattle, sheep, and fur.

But not to mention many additional restrictions, there are also eunuchs who exercise power, and border officials use the tribute city to fill their own pockets, etc., resulting in "no food to burn, no city to burn", and no urgently needed cloth and iron. Mongolian ministries often harass the border , wantonly looting.

After entering the Qing Dynasty, the ruler Aixinjueluo clan always implemented a policy of wooing the Mongolian ethnic groups.

Yinzhen once overheard Kangxi proudly say that in the past Qin Shihuang built the Great Wall to resist foreign invasions, but now the Qing Dynasty has Mongolia as a natural barrier, as long as it is well controlled, it will naturally sit back and relax.

Perhaps because of various purposes, the Qing government, in addition to marrying the Mongolian aristocrats and favoring high ranks, etc., compared with the Ming Dynasty, also relaxed the trade policy between the mainland and Mongolia.Many imperial merchants exported and traded with Mongolia and Oros.

Inland royal merchants or merchants who export abroad must obtain permission from the Ministry of Internal Affairs and receive a court ticket before they can do business outside the export.After Yinzhen selected twenty merchants, these new merchants replaced the original imperial merchants.

Those early imperial merchants had been doing business in Kulun for several years, making tens of thousands of profits.

No, Yinzhen checked and found that Nuoda's Kulun didn't have shops and warehouses, but was bought by a store called Jishengtang with a huge amount of money.

The head of the Jishengtang family is called Mr. Su, and he was originally one of the top imperial merchants with strong financial resources. For some unknown reason, he did not participate in the bidding of the Ministry of Internal Affairs.Yinzhen originally thought that the bidding for the Ministry of Internal Affairs went smoothly, and the palace and even the clan did not make trouble. He also collected a lot of money for the internal treasury, and everyone was happy, but he didn't expect that there were still people waiting for him here.

You Guanshi was also by his side, and after understanding the general situation, he couldn't help but looked at Yinzhen with worry: "Jiu Ye, Mr. Su bought most of the shops in the city at a large scale. You can't get through."

At this moment, Gao Wen, who was sent by Yinzhen to check Mr. Su, came back and said, "Jiu Ye, this Su Fan is a shop bought and sold through reasonable procedures."

Yinzhen stopped in his tracks, glanced back, and said slowly, "There is nothing to be gained from further investigation, let's go back first." Gao Wen couldn't help frowning when he saw a few people sneaking behind the crowd.

Yinzhen took You Yifan and Gao Wengao back to the Minister in charge's mansion. As soon as he entered the courtyard, he saw Bu Zhejihan, the minister in charge, rushing out. Seeing Yinzhen, he seemed relieved.

Yinzhen was let into the hall by him, and Bu Zheji wiped the sweat from his forehead, and said, "Jiu Ye, you can count yourself back. Just now, some stewards of the palace and several other businessmen came to the door and said they wanted to discuss with you. What's the idea. The officer is asking some people to wait in the side hall." Although the few people who came were just housekeepers, Bu Zheji didn't dare to offend.The prime minister's concierge is a seventh-rank official, not to mention the housekeeper of the palace.If someone put eye drops on himself in front of the prince, wouldn't it be difficult to protect the black hat on his head.

"Oh? Why did they come here?" Yinzhen raised her eyebrows, puzzled.

"The lower officials heard them talking about what can't be done with Eros trade, what losses are huge, and so on."

Yinzhen laughed when he heard that, he looked at You Yifan, and said, "It's really intentional, I've only passed a day, but the news over there has already leaked out. It seems that the Eros mission also has other plans."

You Yifan was a little angry when he heard this, and said loudly, "It's none of Jiuye's business whether it's a loss or not. I'll go talk to them."

Yinzhen waved his hand, "It's okay, let them go back, there's no need to waste your time on this matter, I naturally have a way to get the store and warehouse."

Yinzhen's confident expression reassured You Yifan a lot, and he went to the side hall with doubts to meet the merchants who came with him.

Bu Zheji took the opportunity to discuss with Yinzhen the arrangements for the Kulun Conference the day after tomorrow. Yinzhen didn't know about these, and only asked Bu Zheji to follow the previous regulations.Bu Zheji was secretly amazed when he saw that Yinzhen's face was so carefree.As the governor of this place, how could he not be clear about the trade of Eros.

Just now, those businessmen were clamoring for compensation from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, but he didn't dare to go back to Yinzhen directly.If this matter is for him to handle, there is no other way but to use his power to take over the shop in Su Fan's hands.However, not to mention the damage to the reputation, it is also possible to point out which force is offended.

But I don't know what this Jiu Ye has to do to conjure up a shop and appease the mood of the merchants.

At night, in Yinzhen's room.

"Master Jiu, do you have a solution?" He Yuzhu asked in a low voice while helping Yinzhen undress.

"Well, since there is no time, and that Mr. Su swallowed up many shops by himself, let's find a way to let him contribute." Yinzhen smiled and said.

He Yuzhu scratched his head, although he didn't understand, he felt relieved.In He Yuzhu's heart, Yinzhen has always kept his word.

On the third day, Yinzhen changed into casual clothes and went out with He Yuzhu, Gao Wen and Gao Wu.The imperial guards followed behind to protect them, and they all changed into Mongolian robes, but they all carried knives, and their expressions were slightly stiff, so they were not locals at first glance.

Yinzhen was actually a bit awkward, Mongolian costumes were made of broad robes and belts, which a tall and mighty man on the grassland could support.Although Yinzhen was not short, she was a little thin, with a wide belt tied around her waist, and the robe on her body was like a skirt.

The robe that made Yinzhen even more uncomfortable was bright red. Most of the Mongolian costumes were gorgeous, except for yesterday's black, but this was already the plainest robe.He Yuzhu smiled and only said that he looked good.

When he arrived at Su Fan's shop, Gao Wen went up and handed out a name card.Seeing Ai Jiu's name, the housekeeper in the shop looked serious, and said: "Unfortunately, Master Jiu came, our master went to the Chenxiang Pavilion today."

Yinzhen squinted her eyes, and said to the butler, "In this case, the butler should send someone to take us there. I have something important to discuss with Mr. Su."

This time the housekeeper in the shop readily agreed, and ordered a servant to come and take Yinzhen and his party to the Chenxiang Pavilion.

Although she knew what kind of place it was just by hearing the name, Yinzhen was still surprised.Although the three-story pavilion is not big, the place is exquisite.

I have seen many of these Yinzhen, but here besides the Mongolian female slaves, there are also many blond Eros women with thin skirts, bare arms or extremely low tube tops, and bare feet with silver bells on them. on the carpet.

Although Yinzhen had met women in her previous life who had not shown a trace of skin for more than ten years, she was stunned for a moment when she saw these almost half-naked foreign women.

He was still quite calm, and the imperial guards who came behind to protect Yinzhen's safety couldn't move their eyes from their stunned eyes.

He Yuzhu tugged Yinzhen's sleeve from behind, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, let's go back first, this is not a serious place."

Yinzhen shook his head and walked in with a few people.Su Fan made it clear that he didn't want to see him, so he will look for him tomorrow, and I believe it will still have the same effect.

"Young master, please go upstairs." He Yuzhu looked at the Eros woman who was welcoming her attentively, and thought bitterly that it was really immoral.

Gao Wen stepped forward to stop the woman, but before he could speak, Yinzhen's arm was already embraced by the woman.

The faces of the people behind Yinzhen suddenly changed. Yinzhen, who was being rubbed against his arm with his chest, frowned, pulled out calmly, and let her lead the way.The woman smiled and took her to a private room.

The last imperial guard who followed Yinzhen upstairs has been short of breath since entering the door, staring at the woman in pink who is closest to him.The woman is also knowledgeable and interesting, and she sticks to it after a while.Seeing that Yinzhen had brought everyone up to the second floor, the guard hugged the woman and went to the next guest room.

When the two of them entered the room, the woman in pink became more and more profligate, her clothes seemed to have retreated, and she was hanging on the bodyguard like a white snake.The guard panted heavily, and stretched out his hands to rub the plump breasts of the woman who had been staring at her for a long time.

……

According to Guanshi You's news, Su Fan is a wealthy man, the richest man in the north.

Gao Wen's news is that Su Fan is the one who stands behind the prince's elder brother, and most people dare not offend him.

The news from the Minister of Affairs is that Su Fan usually sees his head but never ends. In Kulun City, he is only known as the boss of Jishengtang, but few people have seen him.

The women in the room were all sent away by Yinzhen, if there are a few more, I'm afraid that apart from him, Gao Wen Gaowu and He Yuzhu, the others will have nosebleeds.

Yinzhen raised the teacup, but put it down again. You can't drink anything from this kind of place.

At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and a well-dressed man walked into the room: "I heard that this Ninth Master is here to find you?" Two women accompanied him.

Yinzhen looked at the thirty or so people in front of him, who were somewhat refined, "Are you Su Fan?"

"Exactly, this agarwood shop is my business, even if Master Jiu came here on a special trip, he should really return home after enjoying himself." Su Fan suggested with a smile.

"Mr. Su, I appreciate your good intentions. Ming people don't say dark words, but I have something to discuss when I come here this time. Let's find a quiet place." Yinzhen went straight to the point.

Su Fan also stopped laughing, looked at Yinzhen for a while, and said slowly, "Jiu Ye speaks quickly." After he clapped his hands, the women in the room stopped playing and retreated out with their heads down.

Su Fan sat on the chair next to Yinzhen, looked carefully, and found that Yinzhen's face was normal except for the red robe on his body.Not at all like those guards who are still blushing now, looking at the seventeen or eighteen-year-old young man in front of him, Su Fan was very energetic and asked, "I don't know why Master Jiu is here to find Su?"

Yinzhen was also observing the man in front of him. Greed and desire could not be seen on his gentle face, but he acted like the most outstanding and cunning businessman.He smiled and said, "I'm here to ask Mr. Su to accept a bid from the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Su Fan was expecting that Yinzhen would either have a domineering attitude, or beg with soft words to talk about the shop, but he waited for such a sentence.He froze there for a moment, unable to figure out what Yinzhen was thinking.
