As soon as the news came out, there were many people who flocked to it, especially wealthy businessmen, who came to the consultation desk set up outside the gate of the Immortal Residence to ask for advice.

The person who received them was Yang Fu, the external shopkeeper of the Immortal Residence. With that three-inch tongue, everyone who came was fooled by him for a while, and said all the benefits of the membership card.

For example, having a membership card is a symbol of identity, and you can enjoy a higher level of service here and be looked down upon by others.

With a membership card, you can enter the private room, or enter the private room on the second floor, and get in touch with more big people.

With a membership card, once a friend comes here to receive it, it is equivalent to having a faceless face, which will make your friends dazzled at the same time, and respect you more and so on.

The important thing is that the money for the membership card is not given to the fairy house, but only to be stored here first, and the consumption also saves you the trouble of carrying a lot of silver. What's more, with a membership card, you can also enjoy the benefits of discounts when you spend.

From high to low, there are four types of cards: platinum, gold and silver. This is something that can be bought with money, and what you can't buy with money is the highest-level Supreme Card, which is completely free when you have this kind of card.

Of course, the identity of a person who can have a Supreme Card is also extremely unusual. For example, until now, the only person who has this card is the real owner, Yang Chendong.

Platinum card, a one-time storage of 20,000 taels of silver, you can enter the private room on the second floor and the box on the first floor of the fairy residence at will, and enjoy a 20% discount when consuming.

Gold card, a one-time storage of 5,000 taels of silver, you can also enter the private room on the second floor and the box on the first floor of the Immortal Bureau at will, and enjoy a 10% discount when consuming.

Silver card, a one-time storage of 1,000 taels of silver, can enter the box on the first floor, but can not go to the second floor, enjoy a 95% discount when consuming.

As for the non-members, I'm sorry, if you want to enter the Immortal Residence, you can only enter the hall on the first floor, where there are hundreds of tables that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. However, no matter how lively the hall is, if you don't have a membership card, even if the private rooms on the first floor and the second floor are empty, you are not allowed to enter, which is the advantage of the membership system.

All membership cards can be used to deduct the funds in the card when making purchases. That is to say, as long as you have a membership card, you can come to the fairy house without a penny, raise your hand after eating and drinking, hand over the membership card to the service staff, and register and report it.

Of course, the membership card also has a minimum limit, that is, when it is less than one-tenth of the original amount, there will be a reminder that you must top up again. Take the silver card as an example, one-tenth of a thousand taels is one hundred taels, when the balance in the card is less than one hundred taels, there will be a service staff to remind you to recharge, and then continue to use, at the same time you can also charge more silver at one time, improve your membership level. For example, if a silver card member is charged 5,000 taels at a time, it will be upgraded to a gold card member.

Of course, for those who refuse to recharge, once the amount in the card is consumed, the card will be cancelled after three months without money entering, and if you want to do it, you need to reapply, if there is a deficit in the previous card, you also need to make up for it.

After Yang Fu explained the situation in detail, many people were moved, especially those businessmen who were rich but did not have a high status. In the Ming Dynasty, the merchant nationality ranks third, which is one level worse than the ordinary people of the good nationality, that is, the so-called good family.

People like them have a lot of money in their hands, but they don't have a high social status. How to deal more with the government and improve their social status has become the goal of many of them. Now that the Immortal Residence has given them such an opportunity, how can these unprofitable businessmen not be tempted?

Merchants are smart, and because of this, some people have suggested that the membership system of the Immortal Residence looks good, but isn't there so many high-ranking officials and nobles who come here to consume? If it were only a businessman, it would have lost its original meaning.

In this regard, Yang Fu replied with a confident and smiling face, "My family has already sent gold cards to all officials above the third grade in the Jingshi, although it is the kind of membership card that does not deposit the amount, but with the benefit of enjoying a 20% discount, I think they will definitely come." Not to mention, when the Immortal Bureau opened, even the emperor, the queen, and all the ministers of civil and military affairs would appear here, with this kind of influence, how could they worry that there would be no eunuchs entering. There are also singing, dancing, wine and delicacies that cannot be seen outside; the best environment; How can the most thoughtful service not be able to recruit people? ”

As soon as they heard that even the current emperor would rush here when it opened, all of a sudden, the businessmen were much more confident, and those who paid money and applied for cards came one after another.

Today's Ming Dynasty has just experienced the famous "rule of Wenxuan", which can be regarded as a rich country and a strong people, and many businessmen are also well-funded, but it is just a membership card, which is not a thing at all. Those who have money have directly applied for a platinum card, those with less money have a gold card, and some people have tentatively applied for a silver card, they want to see if the Immortal Bureau is as good as Yang Fu said, and then consider adding funds to apply for a better membership card.

In just seven days, the number of the first batch of members was counted. There are more than 40 platinum card owners, with an amount of more than 800,000 taels; There are more than 200 gold card handlers, with an amount of more than one million taels; There are more than 400 silver card handlers, and the amount is as high as more than 400,000 taels.

In just seven days, more than two million taels of funds were raised, and once this speed of collecting money came out, the entire Jingshi was in an uproar. You know, because the Ming Dynasty had low taxes, it was basically fifteen taxes (lower than the current ten taxes). The other is that the tax of the Ming Dynasty is not considered a commercial tax, and the commercial tax theoretically belongs to the emperor's internal money (private money), but because there is no strict policy, the emperor only relies on eunuchs to collect it. So it's very unstable! For example, the Wanli Emperor's internal treasury is richer than the treasury! Emperor Chongzhen is as poor as a dog!

Therefore, the annual tax revenue of the entire Ming Dynasty is only four or five million taels, but the immortal residence has not yet opened, and it has obtained nearly half of the gold and silver, how can it not be surprising.

In the palace, after Wang Zhen got the report from the spies of the East Factory, he couldn't stop laughing at the moment. Originally, I was worried about whether the Immortal Residence would bring me enough monetary benefits, but now it seems that I don't need to worry about it at all.

At the moment, Wang Zhen ordered Dongchang and Jinyiwei that no one should harass the immortal residence in the future, on the contrary, they should strengthen patrols in the vicinity, and once they found that someone was making trouble there, they would be arrested immediately, and they could not be soft.

Therefore, it makes the business of the Immortal Residence go to a higher level, no one dares to play tricks here, and no one dares to eat white food here, and in a good environment, more and more people will be attracted.

After a few days of preparation, the day finally came.

At this time, it was the golden autumn season, and the weather was cool, neither hot nor cold. Early in the morning of October 6, at the junction of Zhengyangmen and Damingmen, it was crowded with people and lively.

It was reported to the current emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen before, so after the early dynasty, the originally fun emperor led a group of civil and military ministers from the imperial city to the outer city, and the goal was to point directly at the immortal residence.

Different from the usual emperor's travels, this time Zhu Qizhen also brought Queen Qian.

This is also specially invited by Yang Chendong, in his words, this is called the emperor's family and the people are really happy.

In this regard, of course, Wang Zhen strongly agrees. Under the binding of interests, the more powerful the Immortal Residence is, the more he will naturally get in the future.

In the queen's palace, Qian was a little excited, this was still a rare opportunity for her to accompany the emperor to travel. For this reason, she has never been good at dressing up, she simply rummaged through the cabinets and found a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and then asked the palace maid to help try them one by one, and finally chose a set of clothes that seemed to be solemn enough, that is, wearing a dragon and phoenix bead crown, wearing a red large-sleeved shirt, adding a xia veil on the clothes, a red Luo long skirt, a red jacket, a dragon and phoenix ornament on the first dress, and the clothes were embroidered with a woven gold dragon and phoenix pattern.

Such solemnity is almost catching up with the costume of the queen, this Qian family walked out of the palace with satisfaction, came to the dragon chariot, and went straight to the immortal residence with the emperor Zhu Qizhen.

When the emperor travels, safety naturally needs to be carefully considered. Along the road, it has long been covered with Jinyiwei and Dongchang's fans, and the number of people dispatched has reached thousands, and they are full of them on several streets outside the immortal residence.

In this regard, Yang Chendong, who had already arrived at the Immortal Residence, did not put forward the slightest disagreement. Although because of the appearance of Fanzi, many people could not get close to the immortals, but this was not originally a consumption place for ordinary people. Besides, it is said that it is to have fun with the people, but there are really too many people here, and the safety cannot be taken into account, in case something happens, then this signboard is completely smashed.

The people can't get forward, so it makes the immortals appear a lot more empty in front of the residence, and here, there is already a red carpet paved with a length of hundreds of meters, looking at it from a distance, it is very eye-catching, this is the arrangement made by Yang Chendong to welcome the emperor, walking the red carpet all the way to the immortal residence, enjoying the eyes of all the people, the audience has changed from ministers to ordinary people, and it can be regarded as having fun with the people.

When the emperor's dragon chariot came to the end of the red carpet, Yang Chendong was already waiting here in green clothes.

does not wear official uniforms, only green clothes, and it seems that only Yang Chendong is like this in the Manchu Dynasty. Others are afraid that others will not know his identity, only this young master, no matter how others treat him, he still does his own thing.

"The ministers kneel to welcome the emperor, the queen, long live, please go down and walk." Yang Chendong knelt on the red carpet and said in a loud voice.
