Jia Zhen, Uncle of the Red House

　　Wang Youji was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly replied: "The prince is noncommittal, saying he knows!"

　　"Understood?" What is this statement?Jia Zhen widened her eyes and said to Wang Guerre: "This is a life-threatening matter. If His Royal Highness thinks that I have eaten inside and out, I will definitely not do it! Now I will arrest that Ma Hui and chop it up!"

　　Wang Guerjian looked at Jia Zhen who was about to run away, grabbed him quickly, and persuaded, "According to my humble opinion, the crown prince must agree."

　　Jia Zhen asked, "Why did you say this?"

　　Guerrilla Wang said mysteriously: "The prince and the prince have always been close, and even the emperor praised them for being friendly and loving!"

　　Jia Zhen changed her mind, then nodded and said, "In that case, I know what to do! Where is Ma Hui now?"

　　Wang Guerian said, "I'm waiting in the hall."

　　Jia Zhen proudly walked into the lobby with her hands behind her back.

　　Inside the hall, a middle-aged man came up to him and bowed his hands, "I saw the sergeant General when I got off Ma Hui!"

　　Jia Zhen saw that there was a striking scar on his face, and his face was full of flesh, which made him even more hideous.He sat down in the hall and sneered: "Isn't the owner of the caravan? Jia is a military general, and he doesn't go around with you. You can stand up to my yamen today, all because of the face of the person behind you. Otherwise, just because you don't kneel down when you see me, I can break your legs."

　　Ma Hui's ugly face suffocated, but he could not hide the anger in his heart by exhaling a few long breaths. TMD, the last person who dared to speak to me like that is in the moat.Jia Zhen likes to see him in a state of anger and helplessness.

　　Ma Hui squeezed out a smile and decided to admit his cowardice, "What the lord said is, how can the villain He De dare to get your attention? The villain has been ordered by a certain adult, and from now on the Tiger Gang will only be ordered by the adults. from!"

　　Jia Zhen looked at Ma Hui and said with a sneer, "The one who must have known my request, and now that you are here with me, that one must have agreed. Don't give me sloppy eyes, you have no right to refuse! From now on, there will be no Tiger Gang, and all the gang members have been selected to join the Jinwu Weinan Camp!"

　　Ma Hui's eyes were round, as if he was choosing someone to devour.Wang Jian beside Jia Zhen did not show weakness, took a half step forward and looked at him coldly.

　　Jia Zhen took a sip of tea and said, "To that lord, your role is to spend that little money every year, or you can still inquire about news, or even do dirty work. But don't take yourself too seriously. High, who is his old man? He wants to do big things! You are not a force on the table, and you are not in his eyes. Now I can give him more money, and he is upright, so why not? Why? So you'd better recognize the reality and don't have inappropriate thoughts. After all, this is something decided by two big men, and with your small body, you won't be able to jump up!"

　　Ma Hui's expression changed, and blue veins burst out on his face.Jia Zhen looked at him with a smile, her eyes full of playfulness.

　　Ma Hui saw that there were sergeants of Jinwuwei on the left and right, and he had no chance to do it, so he could only hum: "Although he is not reconciled, Ma will follow the order!"

　　Jia Zhen breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the words. He didn't want to do anything unless he had to. After all, the filial piety of the prince's family is not something that can be cleaned up casually.

　　After that, hello, hello, hello everyone.Jia Zhen kindly invited Ma Hui to have a light meal, and pretended to invite him to work in Nanying.

　　Ma Hui refused one by one, "I have my own arrangements for where I am going, so I don't have to worry about it. Besides, if I stay here, will you rest assured?"

　　Jia Zhen shook her head and said, "Don't worry!"

　　So the two looked at each other and smiled, and gave each other a label: What a villain!

　　Soon, an astonishing news spread among the merchants and hawkers in Nancheng: The Tiger Gang, which has always been famous for its fierce reputation, has actually disbanded!Everyone was celebrating with each other, but they didn't set off firecrackers to send the god of plague.In contrast to this, several heads of the carriage and horse shop sat together and looked at each other, feeling uneasy.The three major underworld organizations in Nancheng, Safflower Club, Tiger Gang, and Chamahang, all fell down. Chamaxing usually does not look like a mountain or dew, but at this time, it is so eye-catching that everyone is speculating about the new one. When will the generals attack them.

　　You must know that from the name of the car dealership, it seems to be a guild organization. In fact, it has mutated a long time ago and has become a tool for a few car dealers and horse dealers to suppress other small businesses, seriously hindering the healthy development of the entire industry.

　　Now a letter signed by Jia Zhen is placed in front of several people.After some heated discussions, they finally decided to ignore it!

　　The next day, Datong flood reported that there was trouble in Anhuamen!The people in the car dealership went on strike, and a lot of goods piled up, blocking the Anhua Gate!Jia Zhen sneered: "It's really shameless." He immediately sent letters to the lords and lords, asking them to mobilize mules and horses as soon as possible.At the same time, he ordered Wang Guerrilla to lead the troops to restore order, and he himself led the army to directly arrest several leaders of the car and horse shop. Even the reasons were ready-made: the White Lotus Sect was rampant against the party, and it was suspected to be implicated in Your Excellency. Please cooperate with the investigation!

　　History has repeatedly warned us not to reason with soldiers, especially soldiers with bad temper.

　　The result is obvious, after this combination of punches, the chariots and horses were arrogant for a long time and then vanished.A few of them huddled in the interrogation room of Jinwuwei South Camp, and when they were still imagining how to retaliate, a new car and horse shop was born, and even the shares of each family had been allocated.After twelve hours, when Jia Zhen released those people, they suddenly found that no one had rented their own carriages and horses.New rules, new faces, make them realize, it's over!

　　Jia Zhen's name was in the limelight for a while in Nancheng, but everyone who wanted to do bad things left Nancheng one after another, and there was no good fruit to eat on the knife edge of Jia Zhen.

　　Just when everyone thought that Jia Zhen's new official took office as three fires, and after burning out three social cancers, it would subside, and shops in Nancheng received an invitation letter from all walks of life. It is the new opening of Nancheng Commercial Exchange, and various merchants are invited to come to order and negotiate, and there are also some discounts.

　　Someone asked what is this exchange?The sergeant who sent the message would tell him, "This is a temple fair organized by our generals, and you will all go there in the future, and it will be called...the Commodity Circulation Center! Yes, that's the name!" Bai dangling the knife, reminding him, "That's fine, it's up to you to go or not. It's just that there have been rumors recently that Hong Hua will not change his mind, trying to make a comeback, just be careful!" not going?

　　Jia Zhen's methods have always been simple, rude, and extremely efficient.On the opening day, many shopkeepers were frowning, and the aisles were sluggish as if they were about to enter the execution ground.

　　This place was originally transformed from a restaurant, and in front of the door stood a circle of burly men with steel knives.There is a notice next to it, listing more than a dozen rules in small characters, and then writing the most important two in big characters, one is to pay [-] taels of silver to enter the door, and the other is to not make loud noises after entering!

　　The shopkeepers looked at each other in dismay, and smiled bitterly: "That's right? This Master Jia also wants money or not his life!"

　　"That's all, just give him ten taels of silver, and treat it as a beggar!"

　　"Anyway, don't let me come here for the second time!"

　　Everyone waited for a while and didn't want to go in first.The shopkeeper of a silk and satin village stomped his feet and said, "It's a knife to stretch your head, and it's a knife to shrink your head. If you don't go in today, I'm afraid Mr. Jia won't let us go. Let's go! I want to see, these ten Where did the two silvers go!" After saying that, he raised his foot and went in.The others also sighed, "Let's go!"

　　Once inside, it was a big disappointment, and it was said to be drinking tea, right?There aren't even a few stools, so they say it's a brothel, and there is no prostitute who comes out to say hello, so it's a restaurant, right?What about wine?In short, someone stomped their feet, and if there was not a sergeant next to him, someone would definitely yell at him.

　　At this time, many guys came out to greet them and walked to the shopkeepers with a smile: "Our place is different from others. After a while, everyone will know that your ten taels of silver are not in vain." Then he led them to the go ahead.

　　There is a hall on the left, and there are more than ten blackboards, each of which has words written on it.Everyone leaned over and looked at it. There were two scarlet letters on it: Yangzhou Prefecture, and then a few lines of boys. It was the price of the main local commodities. Next to it stood the names of Taiyuan, Youzhou, Luoyang, Chengdu, Wuchang and other prefectures.

　　The shopkeepers were suddenly shocked, and the shopkeeper of the silk and satin shop quickly asked: "Are these real prices?" The man next to him smiled and said, "We have contact with the Jinyi Army, and they were reported by fast horses, and the error is guaranteed not to exceed eight sky."

　　"That's kind of interesting!"

　　Going further inside, there are many small signs hanging on the walls along the left and right sides. There is a number on the sign, and the price of the item is written under the number.Some shopkeepers couldn't help taking it down, and the guy next to him led it away, so the further forward, the fewer people there were.

　　There are also several halls, with large books, silk, porcelain, etc. on the foreheads.A guy explained: "If there is a large trade, you can go in and discuss. By the way, we also charge for tea here." The shopkeepers thought about it, and a few people gathered together and entered the hall next to it.

　　Around the hall, there are many small cubicles, which are filled with pen, ink, paper and inkstone, and the guy on the side said: "If both parties have an intention in the hall, they can discuss in detail here. If necessary, we can also provide legal services. Of course, there is a fee for that too."

　　As they were talking, the two of them joined hands, walked over with a smile, entered a cubicle, and slammed the door shut.

　　Even the most stubborn shopkeepers left are starting to get excited.Someone asked: "How do I see people upstairs?"

　　The man explained: "The above is the suite. In addition to business, we also provide meals, sensual entertainment services."

　　Seeing that the people around them were busy talking about business, these few people heard quarrels and laughter from time to time, which seemed very unusual.A shopkeeper whispered: "I saw a silk seller over there just now, and the price is very suitable, why not?"

　　"Since I'm here, I want to see the shochu market!"

　　"I can also find what I want..."

　　Everyone looked at each other and smiled, each went to find his own goal.

　　People like them came in waves, and the once spacious building was crowded with people.

　　At this time, Jia Zhen, Chen Zhengqing, Ma Wu, Shi Wei, Feng Ziying, Chen Yejun, Wei Ruolan and the others were sitting in the upstairs suite, talking and laughing as they watched the man bring up boxes of silver.

　　"I'm afraid there will be [-] taels of kung fu at this time?" Chen Zhengqing was full of admiration for Jia Zhen's ability to make money.

　　Feng Ziying drank a glass of wine and said with a smile, "I think it's just a lot!"

　　As Shi Wei leaned over, "Big Brother Zhen's brain doesn't even know how it grew, but he woke up all of a sudden? Is it because he married a few concubines?"

　　Chen Yejun smiled and said, "I'll ask for a few more tomorrow! It's just that I have to ask Brother Zhen for advice. Is the younger the better?"

　　Wei Ruolan suddenly thought of something, "I heard that Taoism has a method of double cultivation..."

　　"Oh..." They had such an expression on their face.

　　Jia Zhen laughed: "Can you try it?"

　　Ma Wu next to him also jokingly said: "Don't say, Brother Zhen's aunt is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Last time, my housekeeper made a miscalculation of [-] taels of silver, and he forced me to correct it before sending it to me. It's really amazing! I don't know how Brother Zhen taught him?"

　　Everyone laughed.

　　Jia Zhen put down the wine glass and sneered: "If there is a way, I will be useful if I am born! I used to have no brains, but you think I have the same pig brain as you!"

　　They looked at each other and said almost at the same time, "Drink him!" Five or six people rushed up and poured several big bowls into Jia Zhen before they stopped.

　　After the laughter was over, they asked what the exchange would do in the future.

　　Jia Zhen said: "Only for the first three days of the opening, we will charge [-] taels of silver for tickets. In the future, we will implement a membership system, and only those who have paid can enter. I plan to divide the members into three categories according to the amount of their property, and the payment will vary. The silver taels provide different services.”

　　At this time Feng Ziying asked: "So many people don't know the bottom line, what if they cheat?"

　　Jia Zhen said: "We will register and check the identity of each member's hometown. If they dare to cheat, as long as he is still in the world of Dashun, he will not be able to escape!"

　　He paused, and then said, "I suggest that you set up properties around this area as soon as possible. When this place catches fire, it will definitely cost an inch of land! By then, you will be soft on the rent."

　　Ma Wu and the others couldn't sit still anymore, so they went out to buy a house and land.Jia Zhen smiled and said: "There is a saying that the hands are fast, the hands are slow, and you don't look too ugly, you will lose the face of the Duke and Hou Xungui! There is another word, these days, I, Jia Zhen, can do so many things, thanks to everyone's support! I All thanks here!"

　　After all, pick up the glass and drink it.

　　Not to mention how Jia Zhen and the others feasted, the Nancheng Commercial and Trade Exchange was a huge hit on the first day. People in the building kept making deals and leaving satisfied. These people took their experience with them. Ten, ten legends, businessmen in the capital all know that there is such a place, as long as you enter this building, there is no business that cannot be done!

　　As a result, those who wanted to do business and were curious rushed here, so that the building was overcrowded.

　　In the Prince's Mansion, knowing that the exchange was a great success, and it is estimated that the monthly income of hundreds of thousands of taels in the future, the prince was shocked and broke a Chenghua Dou Cai cup, which made him feel distressed for a long time.

　　In a certain palace, a certain king held a share distribution table and regretted it a lot. Why did he only need money and not shares in the first place?

　　In the palace, the emperor heard Dai Quan's report and thought he had heard it wrong. After confirming it again and again, Long Yan was overjoyed and ordered to turn over Jia Concubine's sign tonight.

Chapter forty-ninth first-class general Shenwei

　　In the courtroom, the pot was exploded at this moment, and anyone who could count a little could come to a simple conclusion: the turnover of Nancheng Trade Exchange reached [-] taels on the first day, and exceeded [-] taels on the second day. Twenty-five thousand taels in three days!Even if it is calculated at [-] taels per day, the monthly revenue will reach a terrifying [-] taels!Of course, the professionals from the Ministry of Accounts came out to refute the rumor, saying that the exchange is a new thing, and the high income in the first few days of opening can only mean that the merchants are pursuing it, and it will gradually decline in the future, but in any case, deducting various items Cost, net income of [-] taels per month can be expected.

　　[-] is quite amazing!

　　A year is [-] million!

　　You must know that the annual income of the imperial court last year was only [-] taels, and only one small exchange accounted for one-tenth of the imperial court's annual income!That's great?

　　The whole court, especially the officials of the Ministry of Household, were outraged and strongly demanded to take over the exchange.The emperor was at a loss when he saw the public opinion, and he took the opportunity to wave his hand, and it was settled!As a result, the Minister of the Ministry of Household and the imperial envoy of the Imperial Court of Justice personally led a mighty team to receive the exchange.

　　Fortunately, Jia Zhen had already foreseen this.In fact, he is very worried these days, for fear that the exchange will be messed up.Know that the idea wasn't his.He once read a book called "The Good Husband of the Ming Dynasty". The author is called Shangshan to beat the tiger's forehead. The name is strange, and there is such a section in it.Jia Zhen just painted the gourd just like that.

　　The exchange business has been booming in the past two days, which really scared Jia Zhen!He was timid, even if the Ministry of Household and the Supreme Court did not come to take over the exchange, he planned to hand it over as soon as possible, and he understood the reason for guilt.

　　He actively cooperated, with a smile on his face, and introduced the operation process of the exchange in detail, what should be done and what should not be done. He really knew everything and said everything.This made Master Shang Shu quite satisfied, and sighed that Ruzi could be taught!When it was over, Jia Zhen brought out another book. It turned out to be a memorial. It was called "Please choose a place to establish an exchange." According to Jia Zhen's intention, an exchange should be established in all major cities across the country. Management, implicitly or implicitly, even though there is no business tax in the name, it is actually a business tax!

　　Master Shang Shu hurriedly turned a few pages, and found that the memorial was well organized and the data was detailed. All the suggestions were practical. The old Shang Shu had a gray beard. So this exchange can still operate in this way?Suddenly there is a feeling that the hut is opened, and the feeling is enlightened!He thought silently in his heart, and felt that this method was indeed feasible!

　　Thinking of this, he couldn't stay still for a moment, and hurried back to Daming Palace to report the good news to the emperor.

　　The emperor was suspicious, and it took a while before he finished reading the thick stack of memorials.He put down his eyes, pressed his temples with his fingers, and asked, "What does Aiqing think about this?"

　　Huang Yong, the minister of households, has always acted vigorously and resolutely. He nodded affirmatively and said, "Your Majesty, this minister thinks this is feasible!"

　　The emperor was noncommittal, and asked again: "This book says that you can earn tens of thousands of taels of silver a year. I think it's an exaggeration!"

　　Huang Shangshu insisted: "Even if it is only five million taels, it is equivalent to a year's salt tax, and it is feasible!"

　　The emperor smiled and said, "I know what the emperor means! But I'm afraid that Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites will not be able to get through it!"

　　Huang Shangshu also smiled and said, "I have to fight him in a ring this time!"

　　"That's the case," the emperor ordered the little eunuch to pass the decree: "Let the ministers of the cabinet and the ministers of various ministries discuss matters in the Daming Palace."

　　The enlarged meeting of the imperial cabinet went very smoothly. Even though Qin Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites objected to the hat of not competing with the people, he was stunned by Huang Shangshu's sentence "Donglin at the end of the Ming Dynasty", leaving him speechless. Yan, his face was red and his ears were red, and he was about to lose his breath on the spot.You must know that when King Li Chuang conquered Beijing, Wu Sangui led Qing troops into the pass, the mountains and rivers changed color, and Emperor Taizu rose up with a brigade and a division, and fought for more than ten years to conquer the world and establish the foundation of Dashun.His old man has a famous saying: "Donglin is the one who destroys the world in the Ming Dynasty." It is equivalent to concluding the case for the Donglin party. Huang Shangshu's analogy with Donglin is undoubtedly accusing him of a certain party in Qin, who only cares about personal interests and ignores the righteousness of the court.Fortunately, someone Qin had a soothing personality, otherwise the old man would be killed by a head-on crash in the hall, and the matter of the exchange would definitely be in trouble.

　　In the end, everyone voted, and with a disparity score of [-] to [-], it was decided to set up exchanges in the five prefectures of Youzhou, Jinling, Luoyang, Chengdu and Guangzhou in addition to the capital.The emperor and the ministers were relaxed and happy, and they all looked forward to earning hundreds of millions of taels of silver next year.With enough money, the emperor secretly made up his mind to drive those old Russians to their hometown west of the North Sea!

　　The big thing is finalized, only the last small matter is pending, how should the court reward Jia Zhen who proposed and established the exchange?

　　Who is Jia Zhen?The great-grandson of Jia Yan, the Duke of Xianning, and a hereditary general of the third rank Weilie, only donated [-] taels of silver to a real vacancy after a year.It is said that he investigated the case of the White Lotus Sect a few months ago.
