Chapter 9 Wake Up

The business was negotiated, but in the end, the shopkeeper Shi still couldn't twist Yang Feng and made a transaction according to the price Yang Feng said. Then the shopkeeper Shi sent several mates to follow Yang Feng to the Laifu Inn and transported Yang Feng away with two boxes of mirrors. Finally, after inspection, Yang Feng brought a total of 137 mirrors of different styles, with a total of 3,580 taels of silver.

The mirror was sold, and I was worried about looking at the pile of silver placed in front of me. You must know that there were no banknotes in the Ming Dynasty. In the early Ming Dynasty, the imperial court issued treasure notes for a while, but the founding emperor Zhu Yuanzhang did not know that the issuance of banknotes required reserves. In layman's terms, if you issue the usual banknotes, there must be one or two silver in the treasury, so that the banknotes will not depreciate.

But Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a beggar, didn't know about this. When he issued treasure banknotes, he had no idea of ​​"reserve gold" in his mind. As long as he was short of money, he would print and issue treasure banknotes crazily. So by the end of Hongwu, the treasure banknotes depreciated by more than a hundred times, and in the end, the treasure banknotes became synonymous with waste paper. During the Zhengde period, the imperial court had to stop printing and issuing treasure banknotes, and the people returned to the era of using precious metals as currency.

3580 taels of silver are not light. According to the Ming Dynasty's algorithm of 16 taels per pound and 590 grams per pound, 3580 taels of silver can weigh 132 kilograms. Although this weight is not too heavy for Yang Feng, who has improved his body a lot, he is not stupid. Just carrying a large bag of silver on the street, the fool knows what the consequences will be. You must know that there are no police uncles here to protect you. What? Please protect the people from the Five City Military and Mahals who are responsible for public security. Brother, you are not burned out, right?

The shopkeeper Shi next to him didn't say anything, but just looked at Yang Feng with a smile on his face, and others didn't know what he was thinking. But who Yang Feng was. His eyes turned and he saw the shopkeeper Shi who was watching the fun. After looking at the dazzling array of antiques on the containers around him, he felt moved. Then he couldn't help but scold him for being a pig, and he couldn't even think of this.

He bowed to Manager Shi: "Boss Shi, I'll sell you the mirror, but it's time to buy something from you next."

"Oh... Mr. Yang is also interested in the gadgets in the store?"

Manager Shi couldn't help but look at Yang Feng in surprise. The reason why he didn't say anything just now was that he really didn't want to help, but just wanted Yang Feng to speak on his own initiative. But now Yang Feng did speak on his own initiative, but as soon as he opened his mouth, he wanted to buy something from him, which was far beyond his expectations.

"Shopkeeper Shi, you are too modest." Yang Feng rubbed his nose and said, "If the things you have here are considered small things, then I really can't think of anything else that can be considered big things. Although I have lived in Nanyang for a long time, I admire Daming very much. This time I came to Daming to hope that after selling these goods, I could buy some good things from Daming. It just so happened that you are in this business again. Isn't this just right?"

"Oh, this is great." The smile on the face of Shopkeeper Shi's smile suddenly showed a hint of "surprise" that could not be concealed. Yang Feng did not leave any face when he was talking to him about business. He only asked as much as he spoke. Now he actually wanted to buy antiques in his own store. Isn't this just to send them to his door and let him slaughter him? You must know that antiques are not as good as others, and the price fluctuations are very large. If you don't slaughter a knife, Shopkeeper Shi felt that he was sorry for the trust of his boss.

Just as Manager Shi was sharpening his knife, Yang Feng said with a smile: "Shop Shi, I will tell you the truth too. The antiques are seven orifices, so when I buy things, you will say as much as you want in terms of price. I will never bargain. If you are satisfied, I will continue to cooperate with you when you come to the Ming Dynasty in a few days."

"hiss……"

As soon as Yang Feng said, the smile on the face of Shopkeeper Shi, who had originally planned to slaughter Yang Feng, immediately froze. Why? Because Yang Feng said beautifully, I told you openly that I know nothing about antiques, so I will never bargain if you say so much later. It is difficult for Shopkeeper Shi to cut the knife. If Shopkeeper Shi really cuts his sword to death, the sign of Donglai Yinlou will be foul. More importantly, they also said that he will bring goods from Nanyang in a while, so that Shopkeeper Shi will be even more unpleasant to speak up.

After carefully looking at Yang Feng for a while, Shopkeeper Shi said helplessly: "Young Master Yang is so experienced at such a young age. I really admire you. So, if you like something, just tell me, I promise to give you a fair price!"

"Shishangguard Gao Yi!" Yang Feng flattered quietly, as if asking casually: "Shishangguard, I love Xuande Lu, I wonder if the shopkeeper can get a lord."

"Xuande Furnace?" Shopkeeper Shi was startled when he heard this, opened his eyes wide and looked at Yang Feng for a long time before smiling bitterly: "Young Master Yang, you really know how to ask for the shop. Xuande Furnace is a tribute from the palace, and very few people are living among the people. Even if there is one, it is a sky-high price. You should change the request."

"Is Xuande Furnace that difficult to get?"

"What do you think?" Manager Shi rolled his eyes rarely.

"That's how it is."

Yang Feng scratched his head. Before coming, Yang Feng searched the information online and found that the Xuande furnace of the Ming Dynasty was extremely popular in later generations, and the prices of rare and imitations were very different, so he thought about getting a few of them back from the Ming Dynasty. Otherwise, since he came to the Ming Dynasty, if he didn't get a few Xuande furnaces back, he would be different from going to Beijing and not going to Tiananmen Square to pay homage. Who knew that he was slapped in the face as soon as he spoke, and now he was a little embarrassed.

Looking at the slightly contemptuous expression of Manager Shi, Yang Feng said helplessly: "Okay, I wonder what good introduction does Manager Shi have."

Shopkeeper Shi thought for a while and said, "Mr. Yang, since you are going to go back to Nanyang, I don't have to ask for Xuande Furnace. There are still a few good gadgets here in the shop. Please come in with me..."

One hour later, under the introduction of Shi Jiangui, Yang Feng spent more than 2,800 taels of silver to buy a few gadgets. Yes, in Shi Jiangui's opinion, he could only buy some gadgets for more than 2,000 taels of silver. After buying these things, Yang Feng also entrusted Shi Jiangui to get a road sign for himself and buy a house in Nanjing.

Shi Jianguan was not surprised when Yang Feng asked. In his opinion, if Yang Feng wanted to do business in Nanjing for a long time, a legal identity and a house were necessary, and it would be abnormal that he would not have it. Moreover, Yang Feng asked Donglai Yinlou to do such a private matter for him, which was also a good attitude towards Donglai Yinlou.

Yes, in the opinion of Shi Zhangguan, Yang Feng's move was to show his favor to Donglai Yinlou. Otherwise, as long as there is money in hand, Yang Feng would not be able to buy a house. Do you have to owe Donglai Yinlou a favor for such a small matter?

Since the person has shown goodwill, Shopkeeper Shi naturally would not take this kind of thing. He smiled and said, "Since Mr. Yang has this need, Donglai Yinlou will naturally do his best to do it for you. Just rest assured."

Donglai Yinlou is still very efficient. Two days later, Yang Feng finally had his own way of enlightenment and had his first house in his life.

This house is located on Chaotiangong Street near Shichengmen. It is a typical house with three in and four openings, about 300 square meters. Yang Feng spent more than 400 taels of silver to buy the whole house. If it were exchanged for later Chinese coins, it would be less than 300,000 yuan. After hearing this price, Yang Feng couldn't help but talk. It was not too expensive, but too cheap. You should know that this is a house near Mochou Lake Shichengmen. In the 21st century Nanjing, if you want to buy such a large house in this place, you can buy a bathroom at most 300,000 yuan, and it only has a property rights of 70 years. How can it be passed on forever like now?

After getting all this done, Yang Feng finally returned to modern society with satisfaction with the antiques he bought in the Ming Dynasty...

When it was just dawn that day, Zhang Sicheng, who had not yet woken up from his sleep, was woken up by the cell phone on the bedside table.

When the phone rang for five minutes, Zhang Sicheng, who was really unable to pretend to be dead, finally grabbed the phone and pressed the answer button and roared fiercely: "I don't care who you are. It's better to give me a reason not to get angry, otherwise I will definitely block your phone number, I promise!"

"Brother Zhang, it's me." Yang Feng's awkward voice rang on the phone: "I really have something important to find you. I will go to your store in half an hour. I will show you some small things here. I promise it is definitely a good thing. You will definitely be happy after seeing it."

"You'd better guarantee that everything you say is true. If you dare to lie to me, you know my temper!" As soon as Zhang Sicheng finished speaking, the phone was hung up.

Listening to the "beep" sound from the phone, Yang Feng couldn't help but smile bitterly. After returning to modern times last night, he was so excited that he couldn't sleep all night. Finally, he finally called Zhang Sicheng until seven o'clock, but forgot that this person was so angry that he was so angry that he hit the gun.
