Early in the morning, Fang Xing personally sent Mochou outside the door of Shenxianju.

Mochou turned around, his black hair was tied into a bun, and his face became more bright and shy, and he whispered: "Master, I will turn around and serve you."

The concubine's status is low, but Fang Xing didn't have such an idea, so he stared at the pink jade face and said, "I will be busy for a while recently. I will come here, so you can rest assured."

Mo Chou raised his little face and murmured: "Master, I feel like I already have a child!"

Fang Xing smiled and said, "The time is still short, so I'll just ask a doctor to come and have a look."

After turning around and walking for a distance, I turned around and saw Mo Chou looking at him in a daze. He smiled and waved his hand, and then got on the horse and left.

The merchants in the big market all opened the door. When they saw Fang Xing, they mostly bowed their hands, called him uncle, and then watched him move forward.

There is a business called Shengchang in the big market. It is very big. I rented three connected stores in one go.

The three stores were opened and the doors were opened together. Wang Chengyan came out with a teacup. He looked at the sky and frowned and said, "It's cloudy, our gold and jade do not show their colors. Today we have to bite the price to death and we are not allowed to give in."

The shopkeeper behind him smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master, our Shengchang is the best in the south, and those who don't have that money dare not come in."

Wang Chengyan, who is over fifty years old, has maintained a good maintenance. Looking at him at about 40 people, he smiled slightly, but his eyes were cold, "A cup of paper, I dare not touch anyone who has a poor family background, but someone in the Jinling Ministry of Revenue is guarding it in the big market. Finally, I have to earn some money to support my family, and I have to be deducted one. This is to compete for profit with the people!"

The shopkeeper smiled and said, "Master, this is a rule from Peking. If you don't hand over it, you can't enter."

Wang Chengyan took a sip of tea, snoreed and rinsed, then sprayed it in front of him, then turned around and said disdainfully: "The courageous people of those peers in Peking are too small. If they gather to make a fuss, can't they be exempted? If people are too honest, they will be bullied!"

At this time, the shopkeeper whispered: "Master, the housekeeper of Lord Ma's family is here."

Wang Chengyan looked sideways and saw a man in brocade robe walking towards him in his eight-character stroll. He hurriedly smiled and said, "Mr. Ma is here? He strangely said that when he woke up today, he heard Que'er screaming. It turns out that it was a distinguished guest coming to the door. Please come in quickly."

The visitor nodded slightly, squeezed out some smiles and said, "Shopkeeper Wang's business is booming. My master wants to buy a silver hairpin and give it to his wife, so let me come down and take a look."

"Oh! Silver Chai? There is a small shop, Lord Ma... Alas! I wanted to sell a gold Chai to Mr. Ma at half price, but I was afraid that Lord Ma would scold him. Forget it, please come in."

"My master will not take the benefits. You should give up this idea of ​​getting close as soon as possible."

“Yes, yes, yes…”

...

But after waiting inside, the man in the brocade robe stared at the jade bowl with his back pattern. Wang Chengyan was smiling, laughing but not in his eyes, and said, "Mr. Ma has such a good eye. This is... an artifact that an old man is interested in..."

The man in brocade robe looked at the golden hairpin with gems inlaid and asked casually: "How many?"

Wang Chengyan raised his eyebrows and said, "If Mr. Ma wants it, just give it a price at will. Make friends with everyone."

The man in brocade robe looked at him sideways, and gradually smiled a little more on his face. Then the two of them laughed together, with tacit understanding in their laughter.

...

"Try a snake and hit seven inches, and you must clarify your clues when doing anything and find the thread."

Zhu Zhanji took a form and looked at it, and then said, "If you want to move, start with the rich merchants, but avoid the things that the people are tightly swayed, such as rice, grain, coarse cloth, medicinal materials, and start with things that only wealthy families can buy."

Fang Xing agreed: "Yes, commercial taxes should be gradually promoted, from high to low, goods that are concerned about people's livelihood will be temporarily suspended, and prices will be stabilized. As for luxury goods, I am willing to spend money to buy them, so I don't mind spending more money."

Zhu Zhanji raised his eyebrows and said, "So let's start with the big market. Many of those people have shops everywhere. First, test it first, and immediately write about it. Those people's local business pay taxes according to the rules, no..."

"If it doesn't work, it won't work. We must win people with virtue!"

Fang Xing's serious look made Zhu Zhanji's aura disappear. He smiled and said, "I want to try it."

"Then put on makeup and pretend to be a servant."

Zhu Zhanji asked, "Come directly?"

Fang Xing sighed and said, "We should not be evil guests, we should be polite and honest."

Zhu Zhanji couldn't help laughing, and Fang Xing said with a stern face: "You came to Jinling and didn't go to Qinhuai River to have fun. In this way, I will take you to open my eyes today, just turn back and don't blame me for the fire in the backyard in my home."

Zhu Zhanji shook his head and said, "Brother Dehua, I can't go now."

Fang Xing's face was slightly dim and he said, "Okay, I'll go and test it. If it doesn't work, let's go to Shengchang together next time."

...

Wang Chengyan started a big business today and was in a very happy mood. As a result, someone posted another post to him, saying that he was invited to have a meal on the pleasure boat of Miss Mengyan, Qinhuai River.

"Who is this Fifteen?"

Wang Chengyan frowned and looked at the post, but could not find the exception from it.

The shopkeeper came over and took a look and said, "Master, this post is ordinary, but I guess it is not an ordinary person to treat a meal on Miss Mengyan's pleasure boat."

Wang Chengyan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "Fang Shiwu... This is not good, it's Hongmen Banquet, I won't go... It's bad, at least I have to go find the bottom and ask Wang San and the others to follow."

The shopkeeper said carefully: "Master, who wants to please you? After all, we are the largest gold jade in the south."

Wang Chengyan gritted his teeth and said, "It's impossible. If you ask for something from others, you will definitely not dare to make such a mysterious thing. Well, let's talk about it. If anyone dares to pretend to be a god, I will make him regret it for life!"

...

There were many fewer pleasure boats in the Qinhuai River. During the national mourning period, all ships docked. Some time ago, they had already been slightly banned, but after Zhu Zhanji arrived in Jinling, they fell silent again.

However, there are still several pleasure boats wandering in the river, and the external saying is fishing.

It’s a pity that even if the fish in the Qinhuai River are salvaged, they probably can’t compare to the cost of starting a pleasure boat.

At noon, a pleasure boat was docked, and a buyer immediately delivered the ingredients.

Now it’s a little cold in the morning and evening, and the temperature is pleasant at noon, so there are many people coming out.

A group of scholars holding folding fans and walking in eight-character steps passed by the dock. When they saw the pleasure boat, they couldn't help but look happy. One of them went over and asked, "Can Miss Mengyan be on it?"

On the boat, an old man who was delivering vegetables said in disgust: "My girl is not available today, please wait and go."

The scholar was a little angry, but he was afraid of something, and snorted coldly: "Is it amazing! Is it necessary to give it to others..."

Old Cang glanced at him and said, "Scholars, be careful that disaster comes from your mouth."

“……The moon lifts the window…”

At this time, a gentle voice came from the boat. The scholar's expression changed and he hurriedly bowed: "It was the student who was rude, so say goodbye."

Old Cangtou spat disdainfully, then shouted into it: "Come out quickly after delivering the food, don't think about running around, discount your legs!"

The sound of panic footsteps immediately came from the cabin, and a man with a flush on his face rushed out quickly.

Old Cangtou saw his face and shouted, "Can my lady be coveted by someone like you? Get out of here! I'll make a substitution tomorrow, or I'll buy it from another place!"

After the delivery person left, Lao Cangtou went in and when he came out again, his expression became a little more solemn.

A quarter of an hour later, a few riders came from afar. As soon as they approached, a big man said to Lao Cangtou: "My master has made an appointment with Mengyan."

Old Cang glanced at the man who was dismounting, wearing a blue shirt, but calmly asked hurriedly: "But Mr. Fang?"

"yes."

Old Cangtou hurriedly turned sideways and smiled, "Mr. Fang, please, my girl is on it."

Fang Xing smiled slightly and said, "There were hundreds of boats competing in Mochou Lake back then, but now it is deserted. It can be seen that the education of the Ming Dynasty has been deeply rooted in people's hearts, which is gratifying."

Lao Cangtou said bitterly: "Mr. Fang is too good, but the government has investigated it seriously recently."

Fang Xing nodded, and Xin Laoqi took the lead in getting on the boat.

After a while, Xin Laoqi appeared on the second floor of the pleasure boat and said, "Master, it's safe."

Fang Xing nodded and then got on the boat.
Chapter completed!
