Jinglou Gate is in the north of the city, and as for Dengyingfang Lane, where Lin Yanchao's home is located, it is under the Water Department Street, at the foot of Jiuxian Mountain. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Taking a boat in the city will be a little smoother, so when he came out of the courtyard, the third uncle originally intended to take Lin Yanchao back home by boat, but Lin Yanchao decided to temporarily turn around and go to the Lin family's silver shop, pawnshop, and crude medicine shop on Dongmen Street to have a look.

Everyone came down Jingloumen Street to Dongmen Street.

Dongmen Street is the most prosperous street in the provincial capital, with many cars and horses, and pedestrians rubbing shoulders one after another.

Lin Ji dumped silver shop is set up here, but see two shops of dumping silver shop, the shop is surrounded by stone beasts, the store is separated by a wooden fence, the exit door curtain is written with the word 'dumping silver', many customers from left to right out.

When the curtain was lifted, Lin Yanchao looked inside, and there were rows of high counters, the shopkeeper and his men sat behind the counters, and the thugs who watched the scene held their chests with their hands, looking at the queues of guests lining up in the hall.

It's such a palm-sized storefront, but people come and go, which shows that business is booming.

The third uncle showed a smug look and said: "There are not so many customers on weekdays, but now the autumn grain is about to be paid, and the common people are here to exchange for silver." The common people said that the silver of our Lin Ji is real, there is never a shortage of catties and short taels, and the government collects less fire consumption, so the common people want to redeem it to us. ”

The third uncle said a lot of words freely, his face was full of eyebrows, and when he approached Lin Yanchao, he looked like I was doing a good job, and quickly praised me.

Lin Yanchao nodded and said: "The third uncle's business lies in a letter word, but also in a sincere word, so why worry about it." ”

The third uncle really had a smug expression on his face when he heard this.

Lin Qianqian also said on the side: "Third uncle, it seems that you really know how to do business." ”

The third uncle moved his eyebrows when he heard this, but waved his hand again and said: "Where did I succeed, it was all your third aunt who helped me, if she hadn't managed it for me in the past few years, where would I have got today's family business." ”

Lin Yanchao knew that in fact, Lin Ji's business was so prosperous, in addition to the third uncle's honest operation, and the blessing of Lin Yanchao's three-yuan and first-tier halos, it was also thanks to the violent implementation of a whip law in Fujian. With a whip method, the Lin family could exchange copper from the common people through silver, and then through the relationship of the maritime merchant Chen family, the copper was transported to Japan at least copper-rich and silver-rich to exchange to earn interest margins.

Through such income, the Lin family's silver dumping shop is twice as profitable as the average silver dumping shop.

Lin Yanchao can be regarded as standing on the cusp of the wind, and took the first step to open the business of the silver shop. Lin Yanchao came forward, using his identity as Xie Yuan at that time, in the whole government, set up a guild, small-scale either kick out or merge, in addition to these few allowed to open the silver shop, the rest of the qualifications need to be reviewed by the guild, and then pay a lot of entrance fees, so that you are eligible to open a silver shop in the house.

In this way, even if he has a semi-monopoly on the business of the silver dumping shop in this mansion, as well as the Changle Chen family, and Lin Yanchao's father-in-law's family, even if he has no talent, he can run the silver dumping shop well, not to mention that the third uncle is so solid and willing to work, and the third aunt is also quite talented in business, playing the role of a virtuous helper.

Lin Yanchao said: "Fortunately, there are three uncles and three aunts, I am an official outside, and all the business in the family is thanks to you." ”

The third uncle smiled and rubbed his hands and said, "Where, where, if it weren't for your title, there wouldn't be so many officials, businessmen and people selling our Lin Ji's face." ”

Lin Yanchao nodded when he heard this, the third uncle was still very measured.

"Big shopkeeper, what kind of wind blew you here, when did you get to the door, could it be that there is a distinguished guest?" One person walked out of the cabinet and greeted Lin Yanchao and the third uncle diligently.

The third uncle said angrily: "It's none of your business, don't use it here, you haven't returned to the counter, how many years will it take you to be promoted to a big guy." ”

"Yes, yes." The other party is submissive.

After Lin Yanchao turned his head and looked at the other party, he was stunned.

"Brother Wencai?"

The man was also stunned when he saw it, and then he was shocked and said, "This is not a sect ......."

Lin Yanchao saw that the other party recognized him, and couldn't help nodding, his heart was right, the other party was his classmate Chen Wencai when he was in Lianjiang Academy.

Back then, he and Chen Wencai and Ye Xianggao entered the academy together, and later Chen Wencai also devoted himself to the imperial examination, but he seemed to have been trapped in thorns, as for Lin Yanchao, he spread his wings and flew high, the two sides were not on the same level, and he never heard of him again.

But seeing that Chen Wencai was no longer a scholar at the moment, wearing a melon skin hat, and looking like a businessman in the market, he was actually a partner under the third uncle.

However, when Lin Yanchao saw him, he couldn't help but sigh when he remembered what happened when he was a classmate.

Lin Yanchao was about to speak, but saw Chen Wencai's face with a hasty expression, and said to the third uncle: "The shopkeeper is right, I still have an account that has not been settled, so I will retire for the time being." ”

"Wait!" Lin Yanchao said, "Everyone is in the same class, why bother to be passers-by again." ”

Chen Wencai stood still, turned his head sideways and smiled self-deprecatingly: "Yu Keju did not rank, he failed in the test, and then he fell into the middle of the family, which is really ashamed to see the old man, not to mention that when I was a classmate, I had a bad relationship with the champion bus." ”

Lin Yanchao stopped talking when he heard what he said, but when he remembered that when he was a classmate, he and Chen Wencai did have a good relationship, and Chen Wencai was still very close to Yu Ziyou.

Seeing each other on such occasions now, the identities of the two parties are worlds apart, and they rush to meet each other, is it a good intention? Or is it pure humiliation?

Lin Yanchao no longer insisted: "Wencai, it's me Meng Lang, let's meet again another day!" ”

Chen Wencai nodded and left immediately.

The third uncle asked, "Is this person your classmate?" ”

Lin Yanchao nodded, and the third uncle sighed: "I really don't know this, this Chen Wencai, I heard that he is from Dongcheng, he has tried and failed, and his father has been addicted to gambling again, and he has lost several of his shops, so he came to me as a buddy, this person is not honest, but he is the shopkeeper on the counter all day long, so he is very looked down upon, and he has not been promoted to a big guy for so many years." ”

Lin Yanchao said in his heart, Chen Wencai was almost the same when he was studying.

"Since the old people meet, go in and sit down."

Lin Yanchao looked at the thriving silver shop, and at this moment he was already interested and said: "Third uncle, let's go home another day, let's go home first." ”

"How to crude medicine shop, pawn shop don't go to see it."

Lin Yanchao smiled and said: "With the third uncle here, I am very relieved, not to mention the money from our Lin Ji dividends, I can't get a penny." ”

The third uncle was stunned for a moment, then glanced at Lin Qianqian, and then suddenly laughed.

As for Lin Qianqian, he smiled embarrassedly when he heard it, but raised his head again and looked like a matter of course. (To be continued.) )
