Ming Dynasty: Teaching The Prince Dragon-Slaying Skills At The Beginning

"Mr. Yan..."

"Scholar Yan..."

"Dr. Yan..."

...

In Jiangdong Market, as Yan Changqing walked by, every big merchant who was slightly familiar with Yan Changqing greeted Yan Changqing enthusiastically.

Yan Changqing only responded with a slight nod and no words.

Businessmen during the Hongwu period of the Ming Dynasty were the lowest-status group of people.

Although he was dismissed from his position as a doctor of computer science by the Imperial College, Kong Kebiao.

But he himself also has the rank of ninth grade bachelor of the Hanlin Academy, otherwise he would not have been able to become a doctor of arithmetic from the Imperial College before.

And as long as he has such a status as a ninth-grade Ming official.

So no matter how rich the merchants here are, as long as there is no official behind them, they still have to bow their heads respectfully to Yan Changqing!

Even the status of ordinary farmers is far higher than that of merchants!

This is also related to Zhu Yuanzhang's previous policy of focusing on agriculture and suppressing business.

During the Hongwu period, farmers could wear silk, gauze, silk, and cloth, but merchants could only wear silk and cloth.

Moreover, businessmen will also face various difficulties and restrictions when taking exams, becoming officials, etc.

This shows the low status of merchants during the Hongwu period!

Perhaps it was precisely because the status of merchants during the Hongwu period in the early Ming Dynasty was too low and they were suppressed too harshly.

So at the end of the Ming Dynasty, merchants began to fight back crazily, constantly betraying the country, and eventually ruined the Ming Dynasty!

In Yan Changqing's opinion, such phenomena and results have a certain causal charm to them.

Yan Changqing walked straight to the largest trading house in the most prosperous central area of ​​Jiangdong Market. He raised his head and glanced at the plaque of Yang's Trading Company hanging above, walked in directly, and said in a cold voice:

"Have any comics appeared recently?!!"

When the shopkeeper, who was bending over the counter, heard this, he immediately looked up and saw Yan Changqing, with an attentive smile on his face.

Then he walked out from the counter, took the initiative to bow slightly to Yan Changqing and said eagerly:

"I've met Bachelor Yan!"

"Scholar Yan has not been here for some time recently."

Yan Changqing is quite famous in large markets such as Jiangdong City, Longjiang City, and Laibin Market outside Nanjing.

Mainly because he is particularly good at selling things, and he is also very generous in his dealings, and he has an extremely precious treasure of colored glaze in his hands!

Often once you see something you like, you will throw out the extremely precious glass treasure! !

If one glazed treasure is not enough, then three, five, or even seven or eight glazed treasures! ! !

The value of these glazed treasures was compared to the value of the commodities he was interested in.

The price may exceed three or five times at least, and may exceed the price by more than ten times, or even dozens of times the price! ! !

Yan Changqing also got the name Yan Liuli because of this, but most people would not mention it in front of him.

Because such a name is actually a derogatory name for him, who has a ninth-grade official status.

But for the merchants in these large trading markets, there is nothing they don't like about a customer who is both an official and extremely generous.

"No foreign merchants have appeared recently. After all, the sea is vast, and those overseas foreign merchants who want to come to Ming Dynasty will have a narrow escape from death. It is not easy."

"But there will be a small trade fair held by us in the afternoon, and there will be some goods traded with merchants."

"If Academician Yan is interested, you might as well wait for a while."

The shopkeeper approached Yan Changqing and whispered quietly.

Yan Changqing casually took out a glass bead from his past life from his arms. Of course, it is called a glass bead in this time period, and then threw it to the shopkeeper without looking at it, and said calmly:

"Arrange it."

The shopkeeper looked at the glass bead in his hand, with a flash of joy in his eyes.

This glass bead alone would be worth thousands of dollars if he sold it!

After just saying a few words, he has achieved such a harvest. How can these merchants in large trading markets not like Yan Changqing!

After silently accepting the glass beads, the shopkeeper said to Yan Changqing more respectfully and eagerly:

"Scholar Yan, please follow me."

Immediately afterwards, Yan Changqing was led to the private room at the back for a short rest. During this period, various hot teas and snacks were served continuously.

We rested until almost noon, when the small trade fair was about to begin. The shopkeeper just now personally led Yan Changqing into a carriage and went to an inconspicuous small restaurant.

The restaurant is not high, only about three floors. There are two strong men guarding the door, one on the left and one on the right. If you want to enter, you need to go through certain identity verification.

After entering, what I saw was a small high platform similar to the auction platform in the previous life auction. The left and right sides were empty.

The decoration inside is actually similar to the restaurant outside, and may even be older.

This is mainly because Zhu Yuanzhang emphasized agriculture and suppressed business. Because his status was too low, businessmen did not dare to show it even if they had money.

But although the inside of this restaurant looks unremarkable, the guests sitting on the second floor are a little secretive.

Coincidentally, because Yan Changqing has always wanted to find some fan merchants and buy some fan merchant products, he has dealt with many of the above customers.

Because only Fanshang and Fanshang's things have contact channels and purchasing channels, Yan Changqing still recognized some of them.

"Shanxi merchants, Shaanxi merchants, Yan merchants... plus you Hui merchants."

"Tsk tsk tsk, this small trade fair is quite big!"

Yan Changqing glanced at the shopkeeper beside him and said with interest.

Although there are few people sitting on the second floor, everyone is a famous area Great Shang!

To put it bluntly, if the Great Shang in these areas join forces to control the trading, they can even bring a certain stagnation to the entire Ming Dynasty's business!

It’s just that no one dares to do it.

After all, Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife will not spoil them!

It should even be said that Zhu Yuanzhang's butcher's knife will not harm anyone. As long as you dare to influence the Ming Dynasty, no matter what powerful civil and military officials you are, or whether you are a rich and powerful businessman, the butcher's knife will fall! ! !
