The night was dark, and the people who had bought what could be called cheap and high-quality items in the market today still did not calm down from the excitement, and many people even gathered together after dinner to discuss what happened today.

Aunt Wang, who lives in the west of the city, even looked at the purchased flower cloth in front of her with an oil lamp after eating, and until now she can't believe that she has bought such a good material with only one or two silver.

"you, is this really the material you bought for a tael of silver today?"

Aunt Wang's husband looked at the colorful fabric on the table and was also a little dazed, although in order to buy this piece of material, Aunt Wang spent most of his salary for half a month, but he didn't feel distressed, because such a beautiful material couldn't be bought at all without ten taels of silver in the past, and now he only spent one or two silver to buy it, what else is he not satisfied with?

"Of course!" Aunt Wang said proudly: "Needless to say, the aunt of the Zhou family also bought a piece of fabric today." Let me tell you, the piece of fabric that the Zhou family aunt bought is thick and strong, and the guy who sells the fabric said that the clothes made of that kind of material will not be broken if you wear it for four or five years, if it weren't for the lack of silver today, I would like to buy a few feet to make a dress for you and the second child. ”

"Mother, this piece of material is so beautiful."

Aunt Wang's daughter, Dani, also walked to the table, stroking the peach-colored fabric, feeling the smooth luster and softness of the fabric, and her eyes showed love.

"Pretty, isn't it?" Aunt Wang stroked her daughter's head and showed a kind smile: "After the New Year, our family's Dani will get married, and my mother will use this piece of fabric to make a dress for you, so that you can dress up beautifully on the day of your wedding and marry over, and never let the people of the Zhang family look down on you." ”

"Mother...... What nonsense are you talking about! Dani shyly buried her face in her mother's arms.

Get married...... For a fifteen-year-old girl, this word can be described as both worrying and expecting.

"That's right, daddy." Aunt Wang suddenly asked her man: "Didn't the merchants in the bazaar shout to strike the market a few days ago and close all the shops and stop selling things, how can someone dare to openly sell things today, and sell them so cheaply, aren't they afraid of reprisals?" ”

"You don't understand that, do you?" Aunt Wang's husband said proudly: "Do you know who is the owner behind that firm?" That's Jiang Ninghou, Yang Houye! People hold the seal of military power in their hands, but there are tens of thousands of soldiers and horses under them, and those who do business dare to provoke his old man even if they eat leopard gall.

Hou Ye, his old man, must not be used to those black-hearted merchants boycotting the market at every turn, so he came to such a show. But today I and a few old guys summed it up, since ancient times to do business is to make money, Hou Ye and his old man sold these things so cheaply, of course, to take care of our bitter haha, but the loss of money is destined to not be done for a long time, so you Ming'er quickly bring all the silver at home, and then rush to the market to see what we need to buy it for me. ”

"Yes, yes......" Aunt Wang patted her thigh after hearing this, "It's still a child, his father is right, I must get up early in the morning to continue shopping." By the way, the child's father, you Ming'er also hurry out of the city to tell my father and mother, and let them hurry up to buy things. You must know that such a good thing is rare to encounter once in a lifetime, and after this village, there will be no such shop. ”

"Okay...... ......" Aunt Wang's husband also nodded again and again.

Facts have proved that although the common people in these years have never studied and do not understand any national affairs, they also have their own way of survival. There were many people who thought the same thing as Aunt Wang and her husband, and by the next day there were many more people in the bazaar than there had been yesterday, and more and more people had come from outside the city, and by the time it was nine o'clock (nine o'clock), the whole bazaar had already become crowded.

Looking at the crowd of people, the shopkeeper Qiu Da secretly smacked his tongue and couldn't help but rejoice that his owner had the foresight to send hundreds of sergeants of the Jiangning Army to maintain order in the market, otherwise he didn't know what the chaos would be like now.

Due to this situation, there are more than 50 stalls opened by the shopkeeper of Qiu Da today, but as soon as the market opens, these stalls are surrounded by the flow of people like a tide, if it is not for the Jiang Ning army to maintain order, they are afraid that these stalls are in danger of being overturned by the crowd.

There is a two-story restaurant on the east side of the market, and in a private seat on the west side, Hong Anquek is sitting on the side of the window, looking at the stalls surrounded by crowds, with a look of envy and disdain in his eyes.

Behind Hong Anque, more than a dozen men were standing respectfully, they were all the shopkeepers in this bazaar, including the shopkeeper Qiu who reported yesterday.

Shopkeeper Qiu lowered his head and said to Hong Anque, half envious and half jealous: "Young Master Hong, you have also seen that those untouchables are now like they are crazy with their hearts, as if they are desperately buying and buying things here without silver, and they don't want to think about how much money they can have in their pockets, and they won't be able to live in the future?" ”

A middle-aged man who looked white and chubby like Maitreya Buddha also complained: "Young Master Hong, the Daming Royal Commercial House suddenly came to such a hand, which is to disrupt all our deployments these days,"

Hong Anque's chuckle, the folding fan in his hand was opened with a "brush", revealing a picture of a lady, only to see him gently shaking the fan and laughing: "What are you panicking about, the Ming Royal Commercial House is just dying." If they sell these things at a normal price, my son may still be able to look up to them a few points, but now in order to buy people's hearts, they actually sell these things at a low price, just ask how long this kind of trade can last. Therefore, Ben Gongzi asserts that in a few days they will inevitably fall into a situation where there is no goods to sell. ”

"Childe is reasonable, I can't wait!"

The person next to him hurriedly talked about it first and patted it.

Listening to everyone's flattery, Hong Anque's face showed a proud smile: "But although that's the case, we can't just sit and do nothing, have you asked the people you arranged to be ready?" ”

Everyone bowed down and said, "Back to Gongzi, the villain has all been arranged." ”

Hong Anqi nodded: "Then let them start, this son wants to see how many goods they have prepared." ”

When Hong Anque said this, Shopkeeper Qiu, who was standing next to him, clearly saw a trace of violence flashing in his eyes......

"Little Er...... Bring me two catties of soy sauce and three catties of salt! ”

"Give me three catties of old wine and another catty of vinegar!"

"By the way, show me that mirror!"

While the guys at the stalls were busy, a group of people approached the stalls from several directions.

"Objective, this is the fabric you want, you take it." A shopkeeper wrapped a piece of fabric in paper and handed it to a thin woman in front of him.

The woman had just taken the fabric, and before she could turn around, she felt a strong push from behind, and she was so thin that she almost fell to the ground.

The woman who was pushed was angry, only to see her turn around without thinking and scolded: "What are you squeezing, rushing to reincarnation, don't you see the old lady here?" You guys...... Uh......"

Before the woman finished speaking, she was swept by the arm of the person who squeezed behind her, and the whole person staggered into the crowd, if it wasn't for someone to help her, she would have fallen to the ground.

The woman who was about to jump up and beat someone in anger saw the coming, but swallowed the words that came to her mouth, because she had already seen several fierce-looking people standing in front of her and looking at her with cold eyes, and one of them, a man in his twenties with big shoulders and a round waist, shouted: "Why don't you leave quickly after you finish shopping, do you want to stay here for lunch?" ”

Seeing this, the woman didn't dare to say much, lowered her head and squeezed into the flow of people with the fabric she bought, and soon disappeared.

Seeing the woman disappear into the crowd, the man didn't care, strode up to the stall selling fabrics and said loudly, "Man, how do you sell the fabrics here?" ”

Facing this man who looked like a gangster who was a head taller than himself, the shopkeeper didn't look scared at all, only to see him sneer: "What's the matter...... How many brothers want to make trouble? I'm afraid I'm in the wrong place, right? ”

"Hey...... You kid, your skin is itchy, aren't you? The burly man stepped forward and scolded the shopkeeper: "Do you want the master to loosen your muscles and bones for you?" ”

"Huh...... It's up to you? The shopkeeper said disdainfully: "You have to see clearly, just because a few of you want to make trouble here, and you don't ask who we are!" ”

"You ......"

The fierce-faced man was so angry that a fierce light flashed in his eyes, and he took two steps forward to teach this fellow a lesson, but was stopped by his companion next to him, and he hugged his companion's arm hard, "Third brother, don't be impulsive, look at the side and talk about it." ”

"I ......" The man named the third brother was about to speak, when he saw several sergeants with firearms not far away looking at him with cold eyes, and he realized that this was not an ordinary place, if he really wanted to make trouble here, the green-skinned gangsters and guilds in the city who had been rampant in Xiamen for many years a few days ago were a lesson from the past.

Thinking of this, the man's expression immediately changed, and he smiled, coughed lightly, and said, "I said that you guy, don't talk nonsense, I said that we were going to make trouble here?" We're here to buy something! ”

"Shopping?" The guy glanced at these people with some confusion, according to his experience, these guys with big shoulders and round waists and angry faces didn't look like people who would pay for things.

I want to drive them away, but the Ming Royal Trading House has a rule, and those who come to buy things are guests, and no one is allowed to speak ill of them, otherwise if the shopkeeper knows that their jobs will not be guaranteed.

Forcibly suppressing the strange emotions in his heart, the guy coughed lightly and asked, "Since you are here to buy something, what do you want to buy?" ”

"We're going to buy these...... These...... These ......," the man casually pointed to the cloth on the stall, "and we all have them." ”

"Guest, you're here to entertain us, right?" The man's face showed an angry face, he really thought he was a character, and he came here to play Lao Tzu.

Just as the guy wanted to call the sergeant who was maintaining order on the side to drive these people away, something happened to him, and the guy who obviously didn't look like a good guy actually dropped a money bag from his waist and was still on the counter, and said proudly: "Oh, man, take a look and see if the silver is enough to buy all the fabric on your counter?" ”

"Bang ......"

With a dull sound, the guy who was about to have a seizure froze. He took the money bag and opened it, and there were seven or eight silver ingots inside, I am afraid that there were not seventy or eighty taels. And these silver ingots are as crystal clear as snowflakes, and they are snowflake-shaped, which is the best snowflake silver.

"Well, is this enough money to buy all the fabric you have here?" Looking at the stiff-faced guy, the man sneered proudly, to be honest, he was so big that he usually used his fists and weapons to reason with people. It's the first time to hit someone with silver, and it's really a ...... feeling It's very special.

After being stunned for a long time, the guy took a deep breath and said, "I'm sorry, if you want to buy all the materials on our counter, I still have to ask our shopkeeper for instructions." ”

"What, you guys have people there who want to buy everything, too?"

Soon, the shopkeeper of Qiu Da, who was sitting here, immediately received a report from the people below, and he immediately realized that things were abnormal.

"It must have been those people who made a move, and their counterattack came so quickly!" Shopkeeper Qiu frowned.

The guy who reported the news was also anxious: "Big shopkeeper, what are we going to do, as soon as those people came, they took out the silver and wanted to buy all our things." Although the villain knows that things are wrong, there is no reason not to sell things to them, after all, we open the door to do business, how can there be a reason to push the guests out! ”

"Yes, big shopkeeper, the people in the villain's place are even more excessive, as soon as they come, they will buy all the farm tools and iron tools sold by the villain, and the villain doesn't know how to reply to them now."

"And the villain, those people don't even let go of the straw paper, as soon as they come, they shout to see everything is purchased, and the villain sees that something is wrong, so he hurries over to report the news."

Listening to the reports of these guys, the shopkeeper Qiu gritted his teeth: "You go over and stabilize those people first, and you must not let them buy everything." The old man immediately reported to the owner to see what the owner had to say. ”

"Yes!" The guys all responded.
