The West Market is a distribution center specially prepared for those scattered merchants who do not have stores to sell goods, to gather everyone together, whether to buy or sell, it is very convenient, and more importantly, after gathering together, this place will have popularity, what to sell, everyone will think of the West Market, here is cheap, and there is everything. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 info In Yuejing, in addition to the West Market, there is also the East Market, of course, compared with the West Market, the East Market is a typical high-end atmosphere on the grade, wide streets, luxuriously decorated stores, here, the concentration is mainly large merchants. Compared with the clutter of the West Market, it is neat and clean, and of course, the flow of people is relatively less.

However, in the past few days, the East Market has been full of people, and it is many times more lively than usual, without him, just because of the grain sales in the Taizheng Grain Store in the East Market, the price suddenly fell by 20%.

After entering the winter, the price of grain in Yuejing City has actually risen a lot, firstly because it is going to celebrate the New Year, and secondly, because of the war in the four counties of the Northland.

But the Taisho grain shop suddenly went against the market, not only did not rise, but fell by two percent, such a good thing, naturally a ten, ten to hundred, more and more people flocked to the Taizheng grain shop to buy grain, even if there is no shortage at home, such a good price, Tun a little is also good. Who knows how many days such a good thing can last?

Of course, it is not without conditions that the Taisho grain shop sells grain by two percent, and they only accept the newly issued currency of the imperial court. No gold, silver, or copper coins will be collected.

This also led to the fact that another branch of the Taiping Bank in Dongshi was also overcrowded all day long, and if you want to buy cheap grain, you naturally have to come to the Taiping Bank to exchange for new currency.

"What is the origin of this Taisho grain shop? Related to the Commercial Department? It was almost noon, Qin Feng was sitting on the second floor of the most famous Yipinju in the east and west, looking at the long queue outside the Dazheng grain store opposite downstairs through the window. can have such a big façade in such a good area in the East Market, the owner of this Dazheng store is certainly not an ordinary person.

Qin Feng, who had been turning around for a whole morning, was not in a particularly happy mood, because it had been more than ten days since the New Currency Decree was promulgated, but it seemed that people were not too enthusiastic about the circulation of New Currency, and many places even refused to accept New Currency.

Wang Yueyao shook her head, "On the contrary, this Dazheng grain store has nothing to do with the Commercial Bureau, and it is even the object of our exclusion." ”

"Why is that?" Qin Feng knows Wang Yueyao's style, he has always believed in the power of many people, and what he is best at is to pull people into the gang, everyone will get rich together, borrow the resources in his hands, open up one market after another, and tightly tie everyone into a community of destiny.

"Do you know who the backstage owner of this Taisho shop is?" Wang Yueyao said: "It is the maiden family of the former concubine." ”

"Concubine Xian?" Qin Feng was stunned for a moment, and then remembered: "You mean Wu Jian's virtuous concubine?" ”

"Exactly!" Wang Yueyao nodded: "You are merciful, after entering the capital of Yuejing, there is no recourse, this virtuous concubine was not very favored before, the family has little power in the court, Wu Jian gave the head, after the Taiping army entered the city, Wu Jian's concubines lived in seclusion in other palaces, the day you ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, among them are these people, those who have a home can return home, those who have no home to go to, still stay in the other palace, this virtuous concubine went home. ”

"I see!" Qin Feng understood a little.

"Although this virtuous concubine is not favored and has no children, she is also a concubine, and her family has always been in the grain business, and the business is very large, and she is also the richest group of people in this Yuejing City. Although our commercial department often attracts people to join the company, expand our contacts and open up more markets, some people do not want it. ”

"I understand, like the former royal relatives and relatives, they definitely don't want it, but those courtiers, the more you are, the better." Qin Feng said with a smile.

"That's it." Wang Yueyao nodded with a smile and looked outside: "It seems that the head of the Xianfei family is not only a smart person, but also a person with great courage. In order to help His Majesty promote the new currency, he spared no effort, and looking at this scene, I am afraid that there will be a lot of losses. ”

"All the losses are naturally to want to gain." Qin Feng smiled and raised his chopsticks, "The horse monkey said that the winter fish in this Yipinlou are the most primate, come, taste it." ”

In the backyard of the Taizheng grain shop, when the family Zheng Chenggui was leisurely sipping a little wine, the food was brought from the opposite Yipinlou, and the two families were only separated by one street, and it was still steaming from that end. When Qin Feng was full of praise for the winter fish in Yipinlou, Zheng Chenggui was also picking a fish eye and stuffing it into his mouth with a smile.

"Dad, it's been ten days, we've been selling at a loss for ten days, more and more people are coming, you don't go outside to have a look, this team is about to line up outside the East Market, one day, it's a loss of thousands of taels of silver!" Zheng Yiping stood beside his father with his head bowed, a little heartbroken, in the past ten days, the Zheng family has lost tens of thousands of taels of silver, even for the Zheng family, it is a lot of money.

Swallowing a fish eye, Zheng Chenggui glanced at his son dissatisfied, "You lack this money?" ”

"Naturally, there is no shortage of them."

"If there is no shortage, why is it so heartbroken?" Zheng Chenggui snorted coldly and said, "Don't say it's 10,000 taels, it's 100,000 taels, this time we have to grit our teeth and get through." ”

The Zheng family this year is like passing in the stormy waves, they were originally relatives of the emperor, and their business in the Yue country is doing a good job, and their daughter is in the palace, even if they are not very favored, but that is also for the emperor, outside, they are still glamorous and decent, and they are full of words. But as the Taiping army entered the city, the glory and wealth of the past collapsed like a building on the sand, and the glory of the past has now become a life-destroying talisman.

It happened so fast that there was no time to escape, and there was no place to go. The ministers could change their masters, but they couldn't, so they could only wait at home for the Taiping army to lock the door and go to prison, and kill their heads.

But left and right, but nothing came. The Taiping army that entered the city seemed to have forgotten them, and no one paid attention to them at all. After more than ten days of fear, the Zheng family finally found out that their daughter Xiannu was still alive, but she was locked up in another palace. Zheng has the courage to reopen the door, they are grain shops, there is a lot of grain, open the door, the official may find the door, do not open the door, you can also find an excuse to come to the door, stretching out the head is a knife, shrinking the head is also a knife, it is better to be generous.

Zheng Chenggui still has a little eye, and the Dazheng grain store on the cusp of the limelight is the first grain store in Yuejing City to open its doors and eight businesses, which has become a bright spot for Yuejing City, which was still in turmoil at that time.

Life seems to be no different from before, the Zheng family is still in the grain business, and no one has come to investigate them as royal relatives of the former dynasty. A few months later, Zheng Chenggui even made Qian Tuoren see his daughter.

Of course, things are not all going well, and soon, Zheng Chenggui smelled a different breath. In the past six months, Yuejing City has been quietly changing, and the business map is changing every day, but this change has nothing to do with the Zheng family.

Zheng Chenggui found that the Zheng family was excluded.

This is a terrible thing, no one seems to pursue them, but this kind of rejection is enough to make the Zheng family go narrower and narrower in the future, doing business, climbing high and stepping on low is a very natural thing, they used to be relatives of the emperor, naturally someone came to the door, but now, they have become water dogs, and they are consciously being rejected, and after a long time, it is not far from death.

They are grain merchants, and it is so easy to get their necks stuck!

Zheng Chenggui is naturally unwilling to be tied. In his experience, this must not be the meaning of the emperor who is now high, but just a manifestation of the subordinates touching the thoughts of the above, otherwise if they want to clean up themselves, why bother so much, wouldn't it be more convenient to have an order.

As long as that one does not mean to kill quickly, then there is still room for this matter to be reversed. After struggling to support the business, he stared wide-eyed, looking for opportunities.

This opportunity is naturally an opportunity to show your attitude to that person.

The establishment of the Ming Empire, the new emperor ascended the throne, amnesty to the world, his daughter was able to go home, which was unimaginable in all dynasties, it is not uncommon for ordinary palace maids to go home, but their daughter is a famous concubine, and she can actually go home, which strengthens Zheng Chenggui's idea, and now this emperor is different from before.

He waited for his chance.

The imperial court introduced currency reform. This is a big event, and it is a matter that all dynasties and dynasties will treat with caution regardless of which emperor, and Zheng Chenggui feels that the opportunity has come.

Seize this opportunity to show the emperor his heart, whether the Zheng family can turn over, just give it a fight, if after this matter, it is still the same as always, then the Zheng family can give the shop to others, sell the family property, and go to the countryside to be a farmer.

"Dad, we are doing this here, the emperor doesn't necessarily know, if he doesn't know at all, wouldn't we have spilled so much silver in vain, and greatly offended our peers, now it's not the past, our life is not good, and then in this way, business can't be done at all." Zheng Yiping said.

"It's not that it's hard to do, it's that it can't be done at all." Zheng Chenggui took a sip of wine, "But the emperor will definitely know, how big the currency reform is, won't Your Majesty keep an eye on this piece closely, as long as the emperor doesn't care about our past affairs at all, then our investment this time will have a great chance to get a rich return." Now, His Majesty the Emperor needs strong support, and we, we have a springboard for him. ”
