From the Nanhai County Ya, Yi Zhizhi took a sedan chair to Panyu County Ya, Guangzhou Mansion visited it, although there is a governor covered, but the county official is not as good as the current management of the truth he understands, he is now in addition to a Yuanqi Bank, there is also Tianbao Watch Factory, and then there are newspapers, printing houses, Yixue, do not have a good relationship with the county officials, he has a good birthday.

A circle down, easy to be content to rush to the south of the city Hao Pan Street, his main purpose today into the city is to go to the banquet, to the banquet of the Shanxi ticket number, these days busy, Shanxi ticket number invited a few times he failed to spare time, yesterday and sent someone to invite, and then push back can offend people, is he only early in the morning into the city, take this opportunity to visit the county government office.

Haopan Street is extremely prosperous, more than Shuangmendi Street, it is a famous prosperous place in Guangzhou City, it can be said that Haopan Street in Guangzhou is like the Qinhuai River in Nanjing, it has been famous for a long time, the food and singing and dancing of this street are the best in Guangzhou City, and the semicolon of Shanxi ticket number in Guangzhou is also located in Haopan Street.

Seeing that it was still early, Yi Zhizhi stomped his feet at the entrance of Haopan Street and called to stop the sedan chair, and the little servant Li Wang hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Young master, there is still a long way to go." ”

After getting off the sedan chair, Yi Zhishu looked around for a while, and then said: "I have heard the name of Haopan Street for a long time, and I took the sedan chair to go, is it not in vain to take this trip, let's go all the way and enjoy the prosperity and customs of Haopan Street." With that, he walked along.

Haopan Street is indeed worthy of its name, all the way, but see the Zhu Lou painting pavilion, endlessly, a restaurant Qinglou is mostly grand and magnificent, there are not many pedestrians on the street but there are also a lot, most of them are brightly dressed, and their steps are calm.

Not far ahead, Yi Zhizhi saw that an oncoming pretty boy was a little familiar, and after a little more look, he couldn't help but smile, deliberately and uprightly, and only then did he smile when he arrived: "Xu Gongzi, we are really fated to ......." ”

The person who came was Xu Yixuan, who had a pair of bright eyes, she didn't expect to meet Yi Zhishu here, listening to his frivolous words, she felt a flustered for no reason, and took a sip, saying, "Who has a fate with you?" "I subconsciously want to avoid it.

The first time she met Yi Zhifen in Xiguan, she was molested by Yi Zhifen, and snatched her hat, the second time she met, she was a lot of people, but she was easily slipped away by the other party, the third time she came to the door, and was frightened by Yi Zhifen's straightforward show of love and fled, and now I see him open his mouth is fate, for fear that he will talk crazy in public, I just want to avoid it quickly.

Yi Zhizu moved his feet, blocked in front of her, and said with a smile: "Guangzhou is so big, but I can always meet you, and I still say that it is fate?" ”

Xu Yixuan glanced up and saw that no one was paying attention to them, so she lowered her voice and said, "Even if there is fate, there is no fate." As she spoke, she lifted her foot and stomped on him hard.

Yi Zhixiang didn't watch out, she stepped on it, grinning in pain, Xu Yixuan walked away with her head held high.

Seeing this situation, Li Wang was startled, and hurriedly stepped forward to help him sit down on the side of the road, quickly untied his shoes and socks to help him rub his sore feet, and couldn't help but complain while rubbing: "A pair of big feet, which wild girl is this?" There are no rules. ”

Bigfoot? Yi Zhizu hurriedly turned his head to look at Xu Yixuan's back, but no, that little lady is walking like flying, isn't it a pair of big feet? After thinking about it, he asked, "There is no woman from a big family who does not bind her feet?" ”

"Yes, women from the banner family don't bind their feet." Li Wang hurriedly replied: "But it is extremely rare for a woman from the Han family not to bind her feet, and she does not have a pair of good golden lotuses, and she can't find a good mother-in-law." ”

So Xu Yixuan was born in a big salt merchant, how could she not bind her feet? Yi Zhishu was a little puzzled, but he didn't think much about it, he didn't know too much about these customs, Li Wang rubbed it for a long time before he said, "Young master, let's take a sedan chair." ”

Yi Zhizu tried to take a few steps, but felt that it was not a big deal, so he waved his hand and said, "That little girl is still merciful at her feet, and it is not in the way." ”

Xiguan, Shunde Hall.

Shunde Hall is Shunde silk merchants to raise funds to build, is not only the Shunde silk merchants in Xiguan foothold, but also the raw silk industry office, He Shutai and his entourage in Xiguan is settled here, at dusk, He Shutai returned to the hall, into the courtyard from the bath and change clothes out, he is about to go to the courtyard to enjoy the cool, the entourage to report, "Wang Chaoyi came to visit." ”

There are two major sericulture and silk centers in Shunde, one is Longshan and the other is Longjiang, He Shutai is the silk merchant of Longshan, and Wang Chaoyi is Longjiang.

Wang Chaoyi came to see him at this time, and he didn't have to guess to know that he must have come from the tea market, but he didn't know how much tea he ate? After a slight groan, He Shutai ordered: "Please let him in, I'll go change clothes." ”

Wang Chaoyi is in his early thirties, fat head and big ears, fat body, into the courtyard, he did not enter the house, just stood in the courtyard and shook the folding fan vigorously, saw He Shutai come out, he closed the folding fan and said: "I heard today that Brother Zi'an is also in the hall, and he came to pay a visit." ”

He Shutai didn't like the fake politeness, and said straightforwardly: "Xun came before, is it for the tea thing?" ”

Smiling, Wang Chaoyi said calmly: "It is indeed for the tea, the spring cocoon has reduced production, I heard that the tea market is profitable, I originally thought that the loss in the embankment and the compensation outside the embankment, I don't want the tea market to be a trap ......." ”

"How much did Sunzhi eat?"

"Eighty thousand quintals!" Wang Chaoyi said and asked rhetorically, "What about Brother Zi'an?" ”

"It's 10,000 more than you."

"In this situation, what is Brother Zi'an's countermeasure?"

"What countermeasures can be taken, wait, the price of tea will rise sooner or later."

"What year and month will it be?"

He Shutai glanced at him and said, "Could it be that Fei Fei has a good way?" ”

After pondering for a moment, Wang Chaoyi spoke: "Yuanqi has annexed so many money villages, in order to reduce the losses of money villages, Yuan Qi will raise the price of tea, which is a well-known thing, but Yuan Qi just did the opposite, not only did not raise the price of tea, but vigorously suppressed it, why is this?" The reason is very simple, it is for our Shunde silk merchants! Because we made the money, Yuanqila's raising of the price of tea is completely thankless! ”

He Shutai nodded slightly in agreement, as soon as the tea market opened, the price of tea was directly raised to twenty-six taels and five dollars, and the trading volume was very small, until twenty-seven taels, the trading volume increased rapidly, thinking about it later, this is not normal at all, it is completely manipulated by someone behind the scenes.

Seeing that he nodded in agreement, Wang Chaoyi continued: "Since it is deliberately aimed at our Shunde silk merchants, waiting for the price of tea to rise, I'm afraid it's a bit mysterious, I estimate that the other party still has a trick, rather than this, let's focus on the anti-customer, grasp the initiative, and do the opposite!" ”
