At this moment, Zhu Biao was sitting with his father on the second floor of the restaurant. The two of them were sitting by the window, so they could clearly see everything happening at the door of the Jiaofangsi.
The people sitting at a few tables not far from the two of them were all big-bodied and round-waisted people. Although these people were eating and drinking separately, if someone observed carefully, they would find that these people were not paying attention at all.
On the food and wine in front of me. But on the two people next to the window and at the entrance to the stairs.
"Dad, since we are all here, why don't we just go in and save him? Why are we still there and waiting here?" Zhu Biao smiled bitterly and asked in confusion.
Lao Zhu glanced at Zhu Biao dissatisfied, then looked back at the door of the Jiaofang Division. While looking at it, he said: "That boy is more cunning than a fox. If we go there now, what will we see? We just want to see him.
How can you make so much money? But don’t tell me, this kid has a lot of evil ideas, he can do anything like hiring a babysitter."
Wasn't he forced to do such a thing by your father?
Zhu Biao cursed in his heart and said softly: "Dad, he has to give you so much money every year. Is it too much? Do you want to reduce it for him?"
When Lao Zhu heard this, he couldn't help but turn his eyes back to Zhu Biao, frowned and said: "More, more! That's what he said himself, and we didn't force him. Besides, we have already arranged the money."
It’s useful, I can’t think of the young master now.”
Zhu Biao was dumbfounded when he heard this. This money has not even seen a trace, but it has already been used by his father?
At the same time, I couldn't help but frown and think about how tight the imperial court was, so that my father could spend this money that had no trace of it. In the past, when I handled government affairs, I only felt that everything was complicated and tiring.
It's unbearable. But now it seems that the pressure my father is facing is greater than I imagined.
Now that the money has been secured, if Han Du can't come up with the money, I'm afraid he won't get any good results. Now Zhu Biao has no way to help Han Du, he can only hope that Han Du wasn't
He is bragging, but he is completely confident. Otherwise, let alone meritorious service, it would be considered good luck to avoid being accused.
...
Just as Fu Yong was playing with the copper cards, Grandma Li's front was already crowded with people who wanted to enter the Jiaofang Division. Grandma Li quickly asked the servants to maintain order, and handed the copper cards to them one by one with a smile.
Everyone who wants to come through the door.
Fu Yong held the copper card and walked into the Jiaofang Department with his hands behind his back.
As soon as you enter the door, you come to a room, which is the size of two ordinary rooms. The walls around the room are covered with various silk and satin clothes, and rows of neat clothes are also hung in the middle.
Several maids stood at the door. The clothes of these maids were not the ones worn by Xiangxue and Yanxue. This made Fu Yong a little disappointed. He originally thought that all the women in the Jiaofang Department had changed into clothes.
It doesn’t look like the kind Xiangxue wore now.
Although the clothes worn by these maids were somewhat similar to ordinary women's clothes, Fu Yong found that there were differences upon closer inspection. The clothes they wore were more elegant and luxurious. Wearing them made their whole bodies look more elegant.
Come with confidence.
"This guest, this is the cloakroom. The emperor has granted permission that merchants can also wear silk and satin in the Jiaofang Department, so these clothes are prepared for the guest."
With the Emperor's permission, this was naturally Han Du's idea. Anyway, he had already obtained the imperial edict from Lao Zhu granting him full power, so he could do whatever he wanted. As long as he could get money, Lao Zhu wouldn't mind these details.
This era is a strange era. Businessmen are rich but cannot wear silk and satin. Therefore, almost all businessmen, although they have great wealth, can't help but show a trace of envy in their eyes when they look at the farmers.
.
This kind of envy is envy that farmers can wear silk and satin. Even if the farmers they see are just wearing ordinary linen clothes, they are still envious.
If you don't return wealth and honor to your hometown, it's like walking in brocade at night!
People are all prone to vanity, and they cannot show off their wealth. You can imagine how uncomfortable this makes these wealthy businessmen.
Han Du firmly grasped this mentality of theirs and did this in the Jiaofang Division. As long as he was in the Jiaofang Division, anyone could wear silk and satin. Just because of this, Han Du dared to
Make sure that you can tightly capture the wealthy businessmen in the world and make a lot of money.
Fu Yong was no exception. Faced with the temptation to wear silk and satin clothes, he had no resistance at all. He grabbed a piece of clothing and couldn't wait to ask: "How much does this one cost?"
A maid stood up and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't be impatient. I'll listen to the servants. The clothes of our Jiaofang Division are divided into three types: ten strings, twenty strings, and thirty strings. The one you are taking now."
The pieces are perfect."
One piece of clothing is worth ten pieces!
Fu Yong pondered to himself, if a good-quality dress outside costs ten guan, it is just a normal price. But the one he got is obviously not the best, and the best one should cost 30 guan. In that case, this
The price is not low. But thinking that I will be able to wear the silk clothes of my dreams right away and openly, I think it will be more expensive.
"I would like to explain that these clothes from our Jiaofang Division are not for sale."
"Not for sale? Then what price did you just say?" Fu Yong was a little dissatisfied after hearing this.
"My guest has misunderstood. These clothes in our Jiaofangsi are only for rent, not for sale. Your guest is a businessman, so these clothes can only be worn in the Jiaofangsi. Does the guest dare to take them home to wear? Therefore, the guest
It's better to rent these clothes and wear them in the Jiaofang Department. There is no need to buy them and bring them back. Not only will they be useless, they will also cause trouble."
The Hongwu Year was no different from the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty. In the mid-to-late Ming Dynasty, due to the gradual liberalization of customs, merchants wore some silk and satin at home. As long as no one saw them and reported them, no one would ask.
But it's different now. If that businessman had the guts, once he was discovered, his family would be ruined, and there would be no second possibility.
Is it really unfavorable to treat Lao Zhu’s butcher’s knife?
Fu Yong nodded after hearing this, the reason is this, but the Jiaofangsi's clothes start from ten pieces once worn, which is simply a sky-high price. For the business of Han Du, Fu Yong has nothing but admiration.
