Chongzhen Chat Group

They were chatting when they suddenly saw Concubine Tian walking out of the cubicle. Behind her, Fang Zhenghua followed, holding three pieces of silk in his hands.

Concubine Tian walked up to the emperor and said a little shyly: "Master, I couldn't hold it back and spent all my expenses these days."

Emperor Chongzhen looked at the pieces of silk and satin, nodded and said, "It's okay. Let's go shopping. If there's anything I like, I'll pay for it in advance. I'll spend it later when my family has money."

There was nothing we could do about it. When we traveled back in time, rats would starve to death in the treasury. There were so many debts, so many people were crying for food. Emperor Chongzhen had been busy for a year, and finally managed to make up for the military pay of the border troops, and developed several new projects. It's an industry, but it hasn't brought in much money yet. It can only be regarded as a source of money. For the sake of the Ming Dynasty, everyone has to tighten their belts and live a good life.

This southern tour will cost a lot of money, and the internal treasury is only a few dollars, so even Concubine Tian has a limited daily spending limit.

After hearing the emperor's words, Concubine Tian nodded naturally. But Chen Youming beside him was stunned.

He didn't expect that this young master, who was putting on a big scene and accompanied by about twenty followers, would be so poor. Thinking about this, he suddenly felt a little guilty for the entertainment fees he collected yesterday. At the same time, I also doubt my own vision, fearing that this young master is not a high official in the government, right?

At this moment, someone came out of the private room of the store. She was a young and beautiful woman, and a waiter led the way out. Behind him were two maids and two servants. The two servants each held a stack of silk in their hands, and they could hardly see the road.

When the woman passed by Concubine Tian, ​​she was stunned for a moment. She seemed to be shocked by Concubine Tian's beauty, and her eyes were obviously jealous. However, when he saw the three pieces of silk in Fang Zhenghua's hand behind Concubine Tian, ​​he glanced sideways at Emperor Chongzhen, raised his chin slightly, hummed lowly, and turned around to go out.

"Haha, I didn't expect that I would be despised by others!" Seeing this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help shaking his head and laughing.

Liu Xingzuo was furious and wanted to follow him out, but he heard Emperor Chongzhen shout: "What are you doing?"

When Liu Xingzuo heard this, he had no choice but to suppress his anger, step back and stand with his hands down.

Chen Youming was quite surprised by this scene. There was even more admiration in his eyes when he looked at Emperor Chongzhen. Thinking about how many passers-by didn't extend their hands, this young master was the only one who extended his hand to help. He also felt that this young master's cultivation was the best he had ever seen in his life!

"Work hard to make money, so that you can have more money soon inside and outside your family!" Emperor Chongzhen sighed, smiled at Concubine Tian, ​​then turned and walked out.

To be honest, Concubine Tian was furious just now. If the emperor hadn't expressed his stance first, she would definitely make that woman look good. But when she saw the emperor walking out, she had no choice but to follow him out, thinking in her heart that since the emperor was going on a patrol incognito, it would be better to keep things to a minimum and not cause any trouble to the emperor.

After leaving the store, her interest was obviously lowered. When she passed some shops she usually liked, she didn't go in. She just walked around with the emperor and took a look. In this way, I walked a little faster.

It has to be said that Nanxun Town is really prosperous. In addition to the pillar industry of Husi, due to the concentration of people and money, various service industries are also available. Just walking on the street, it's really hard to tell whether this is a town or a city.

Emperor Chongzhen was walking leisurely and seemed to be chatting with Chen Youming casually: "Where do most of those Fujian and Guangdong businessmen go to do business? Do they have a regular dental shop?"

"Generally speaking, if you are a regular customer, of course there is a regular dental clinic. They don't even need to send people to come. They pay Husi every year as agreed." Chen Youming obviously knows a lot, "But this year's situation is special. This is the first official Husi transaction after opening the sea. Regardless of whether it is a regular customer or not, I am afraid that someone will be sent to renegotiate the contract or purchase more."

"Those Fujian and Guangdong merchants, as far as I know, naturally go to the largest tooth shops in Nanxun Town to do business. Otherwise, their appetites are too big, and small tooth shops may not be able to satisfy them." Chen You Ming said this and introduced to Emperor Chongzhen, "These silk shops can be divided into big shops, small shops, and small leaders. Among them, the small shops are also called Huazhuang, which are bought to pay for the big shops, while the small leaders are commonly known as The owner of Baila recruited rural silk to sell it on his behalf and made a small profit. Daxing was divided into Jingzhuang, Guangzhuang, Jingzhuang and Xiangzhuang. The place where the Fujian and Guangdong merchants asked about was actually Guangzhuang. ."

"Oh!" Emperor Chongzhen nodded, and then asked: "Where is this Guangzhuang? I want to see it!"

"There are two places in Guangzhuang. One is at the east end of the town, opened by our Chen family. The other one is at the west end of the town, opened by the Wang family." Chen Youming introduced, pointed to the front and said, "Let's go to On the street, cross the bridge and walk two more streets to reach Chen's Guangzhuang."

After hearing this, Emperor Chongzhen nodded and motioned for him to lead the way.

Perhaps because he knew what kind of news Emperor Chongzhen wanted to hear, Chen Youming was silent for a while and then began to introduce again: "Due to the national policy of opening up the sea, this year's silkworm farmers have made preparations in advance, and the output is estimated to be very large. As far as I'm concerned, the output is huge." I am afraid that our Nanxun Town will have at least 100,000 bags this year, and the price will be about 10 million taels."

Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help being surprised when he heard this. It was about 10 million taels. This was just the transaction volume here in Nanxun Town. Is it an exaggeration? Little did he know that this valuation was actually not an exaggeration at all. There is a clear record in the "Nanxun Town Chronicles" of later generations.

They walked and talked, and soon came to the river. Before he could get closer, Chen Youming pointed to the boats moored by the bridge with a smile: "Look, sir, those are the silkworm farmers rushing out to sell Hu silk. The earlier they come out to sell, the higher the price will be. Wait until there is a large amount of Hu silk." Once it goes on the market, the price will go up and down. Just the price difference in the middle is enough to make ordinary people's lives more comfortable."

Needless to say, Emperor Chongzhen also understood this truth. He nodded, hoping that the silkworm farmers could sell more money. After all, this was their hard-earned money.

As I walked closer, I found noises coming from the river in front, and there were faint sounds of quarreling. Chen Youming couldn't help but sigh when he heard it.

Emperor Chongzhen was a little curious and asked, "What's going on ahead?"

"You don't even have to look at it. Xingba must be bullying those silkworm farmers." Chen Youming answered immediately. Obviously, he seemed to have seen too much.
