""In fact, early in the morning, the Xueerbao actually published an article about Jubaolou. Although it was only the size of tofu, it was enough to attract people's attention.
It’s not for anything else. It’s just because of this that I signed up for the Confucian scholar’s articles, and then there are some short stories. Suddenly, there is such a treasure building that will be opened in three days, and there are small words such as ten taels of silver to get started.
This sudden change immediately caused people to speculate.
What is this Jubao Building? Yes, I heard people say it is a tea shop. To enter a tea shop, you need to get a tattoo of ten taels of silver. This does not include the cost of ordering tea and pastries. Could it be that the person who opened the Jubao Building has someone?
sick?
Ten taels of silver is equivalent to half a year's expenses for an ordinary person. It's a joke that such a large amount of money is just to get into your tea shop.
But it was obviously very funny, but many people couldn't laugh. For example, the two brothers Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling who came out of the palace were really on the verge of crying. They had already told the emperor and sister about this matter.
Having said that, the emperor and his sister were still in a hurry to see the excitement, but now it was too late to distance themselves from the man named Liu.
They could almost imagine the scene that day. The huge tea shop was open, but it was deserted outside. Hundreds of waiters were hunched over in the tea shop chatting leisurely. As for their uncle, they stood there stupidly.
In this empty teahouse, I was teased by the emperor and my sister.
"This Liu Chengfeng is really hateful. This time, your name and my brother's reputation are in his hands." Zhang Heling almost cried. In the past, when the emperor looked at them, he would only say nonsense at most. But three days later, most of them
It will leave the emperor with the impression of a fool.
The Zhang family has gotten to this point thanks to the Queen's contribution, but on the other hand, it is also the Emperor's care. If the Zhang family's nephew is so stupid, will the Emperor be willing to pay attention to him in the future? I'm afraid even my sister will also be in the future.
Can't lift my head up.
Zhang Yanling also sighed, but felt that this person who published such an advertisement in the Xueer Newspaper really left people speechless. If it is a sales treasury, ten taels of silver can only enter the door, a young man, a dandy.
You can still find it. But for a tea shop, and the two brothers have been to this tea shop before, they dare to ask for ten taels of silver. This is not bad. This Liu Chengfeng is indeed a member of Jinyiwei. He is really no different from a robber.
.
"Brother, let's just go and admit our mistake to the emperor and my sister. We won't invest in this business anymore," Zhang Yanling said cautiously.
The problem now is no longer as simple as making money, but is related to the face of the Zhang family and other people's opinions of the Zhang family. Although these two brothers are usually stupid, they also know that they must not be looked down upon.
.Let alone let others treat our brothers as fools.
Zhang Heling smiled bitterly and said: "It's difficult to get away now. Hey... go and send a message to Liu Chengfeng, saying that His Majesty will be there on the opening day. Let him make preparations in advance."
Zhang Yanling had no choice but to nod and said, "Yes."
On the second day, there was still an article about tofu in the Xuehebao, and there was still news about the opening of the Jubao Tower. At this time, no one thought it was a joke. For scholars, the three of the Jubao Tower
The words made them turn off their appetites. However, those merchants started to pay attention to what this treasure gathering building was. They were actually able to board this school to report. And for two days in a row.
Not to mention, the word "Jubao" seems to reveal something. As for the "Jubao Tower", I don't know what kind of medicine is sold in the gourd.
Everyone secretly speculated, especially those who were very interested in getting started with ten taels of silver. If it was just an ordinary wine shop and teahouse, not to mention ten taels, even ten coins would be too much. What are the benefits of this Treasure House to attract people willing to spend ten taels?
Money goes in?
The louder the tone, the more expectations a lot of people have.
However, the Shouning Hou Mansion was in mourning. Zhang Heling's temper had been very bad these past two days, and he often got angry. So much so that the servants in the house hid away when they saw the Hou. Many people thought that Hou
I was unhappy because I was kidnapped by a Jinyiwei Baihu a few days ago. In fact, Zhang Heling also knew his own pain.
He had asked someone to send the money to Liu Chengfeng, but Zhang Heling did not show up again. He always felt that he would lose face if he stayed with the man named Liu for a moment longer.
On the early morning of the third day, Zhang Heling rarely got up early, but Zhang Yanling had already arrived. Zhang Yanling changed into an ordinary round-neck shirt and dressed normally. After waiting for Zhang Heling in the flower hall for a while, the brothers went out.
Instead of going to that teahouse first, go to Houjia at the Meridian Gate.
Along the way, a pair of brothers sighed as if they were going to the execution ground. The palace had allocated money to them from the inner treasury, and the money was also given to Liu Chengfeng. This means that the emperor listened to their words.
, before he was willing to spend his internal funds. The emperor is very frugal, and it is very rare to spend so much money. If the treasure gathering building opens, it will be empty, and this face...
It was dawn in the morning, and the sky was slightly bright. The dawn broke out from the heavy night fog and shed a ray of golden color. On the imperial road leading to the Forbidden City, Zhang Heling sat in the car and sighed heavily.
At the same time, many people got up early. For example, in Hu Chunfang, many people were ready to go out. Some of the businessmen staying in Hu Chunfang were staying in inns, some were in chambers of commerce, and some were still in business.
Some people have built a house here, and they are actually curious about the treasure house, because this land has been a bit mysterious since I bought it. So far, no news has been revealed, and in addition to going to school,
Many people want to see what is going on here.
For example, in the Huaiyuan Inn near Jubao Tower, most of the people living here are merchants from the south of the Yangtze River. When they transport goods to the capital, they must first stack the goods in the warehouse and then find buyers, so most people will
If you stay in this inn for ten days and a half, you can get some cash and then go back to your hometown.
The first person to come out was a businessman from Suzhou. His surname was Wu, and his name was one Chinese character. Wu Chengyuan had actually received the payment for the goods, and all the procedures had been completed. He felt relaxed and planned to return to Suzhou in the next few days. After waiting,
At the end of the year, he was selling goods again. He was engaged in raw silk business. The scale was not big or small. He came to Beijing several times every year. This time, he happened to hear the merchants in the inn discussing the treasure gathering building, so he also
I wanted to take a look. Anyway, I have free time these days and am in a good mood, so I just spent ten taels of silver to go in and have a look.
The coach was hired temporarily. Wu Cheng got on the coach. Before he told the coachman where he was going, the coachman already said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you going to Jubao Tower?" The coachman guessed right, and then laughed and said
: "Early this morning, all the people who hired cars were going to Jubao Tower. They have already sent a few of them. Haha, my guest, please sit down and we will arrive in just half a cup of tea."
Wu Cheng found it funny while sitting in the car. It seemed that there were quite a few people in the capital who wanted to see the excitement. He took a nap while sitting in the car. The driver called him. When Wu Cheng opened his eyes, he found that
Already reached the end of the land.
After getting off the car, I saw at a glance that the treasure-collecting building occupies a large area and has a large front door. Many people have gathered at the door. Wu Cheng approached him and someone behind him tapped him on the shoulder. Wu Cheng turned around and
Looking at it, I couldn't help but laugh, and saluted the person behind me: "It turns out Shopkeeper Liu is here too."
This shopkeeper Liu is Wu Cheng’s customer who sells raw silk this time. Although the two have no friendship, they are particularly affectionate when they bump into each other here. This shopkeeper Liu’s name is named after the Chinese character "Hai", Liu Hai. He is about forty years old, which means he has a big belly.
, the silk business in Yingchunfang is not small, but the scale is not small. Liu Hai said to Wu Cheng: "Brother Wu, isn't he here to join in the fun? Let's go and have a look together."
After squeezing out the crowd, he discovered that there were dozens of tall men standing at the entrance of the Jubao Building. There was even a notice posted on the wall. Wu Cheng squinted for a while and finally understood the meaning of the notice. Here is
He said that if you want to enter the building, each person must pay ten taels of silver. In addition, he also said some rules, such as no loud noises, no servants allowed to enter, etc.
Liu Hai smiled at Wu Cheng and said: "Ten taels of silver is worth a lot to enter this door. Tsk tsk... The owner of this Jubao Building does know how to do business. Isn't it a waste of money?"
Wu Cheng also laughed: "I'm not sure there are any real benefits in this."
The two chatted for a while, but they refused to enter. After all, it was only ten taels of silver. Ordinary people would definitely not dare to enter, but for businessmen like them, they had to hesitate for a while.
There are many people watching the excitement outside, but very few people actually go in. Occasionally, there will be a few who can't help but take money and go out, but most of them still have a wait-and-see attitude.
None of those who had gone in came out for the time being. Wu Cheng finally couldn't bear it anymore. In this trip, he still earned more than 700 taels of silver. The 10 taels of silver was neither too much nor too little.
The more mysterious the Jubao Tower was, the more it made him feel a little itchy, so he said to Liu Hai: "Shopkeeper Liu, how about going in and taking a look?"
Not to be outdone, Liu Hai stroked his beard and said with a smile: "Come on, let's just get tricked by the owner of this tea house."
The two of them laughed together, walked to the door, and went inside to the concierge. There was already someone like a clerk sitting behind the desk, collecting money, and then letting them pass.
As soon as they entered, a waiter came over with a smile, saluted the two of them, and said: "It's the first time for these two guests to come. According to the rules, the villain should take the guests for a walk and have a look. Please
…”
In fact, when they first came in, both Wu Cheng and Liu Hai were a little disappointed, because there was really nothing surprising about what they saw. If they said this was a tea shop, it would be a bit oversimplified. If they said it was a brothel, it would be a bit understated.
After enjoying the lights and the wine, when we entered this place, we felt a sense of heaviness, as if it was like a government office.
But since I spent money here, there is no reason to leave immediately. I have nothing to do, so I have to take a look first.
The waiter obviously saw what they were thinking. He smiled slightly and said: "Our tea shop is different from other places. You two guests must not underestimate it. Later, you will know the benefits of this Treasure House."
, I guarantee that these two guests, these ten taels of silver, will not be wasted."
