The business in Jiangnan is prosperous, but accompanied by economic activities, huge population mobility often forms.

The soldiers were in and out of Nanjing, and the soldiers could not check them carefully one by one. Hou Xun took out the door sticker, and the soldiers guarded took a look and put him in the city.

The Liang State sent a large number of scouts and works in the northern Ming and Qing dynasties to inquire about the news about the northern Ming and Qing dynasties, and the same was true for the northern Ming and Qing dynasties.

Before Hou Xun came to Nanjing, Luo Yangxing, the commander of the Beiming Jinyiwei, informed Hou Xun of the location of the Beiming Jinyiwei's stronghold in the city of Nanjing.

Hou Xun entered Nanjing City, walked through the bustling streets, looked at the bustling business, and couldn't help but snorted coldly: "It won't take long to be luxurious and luxurious, and you will definitely be as peaceful as a martial arts."

In Hou Xun's eyes, although the Liang State is rich and powerful, the Jiangnan regime has been unable to remain strong for generations. It is inevitable that the ambition will be consumed by the prosperity of Jinling, lose its enterprising spirit, and finally settled for pleasure and could not escape the fate of being destroyed.

This was Hou Xun's sour sentence, walking through the streets and alleys in the city, and coming outside a restaurant on Taiping Street.

"Changchun Tower!" Hou Xun looked at the plaque and the hanging flags, and couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: "It's this place, it's really a big vague place in the city!"

At noon, several nearby restaurants were crowded, and this restaurant was no exception. The lobby was full of guests, and even the private rooms on the second floor were booked out.

Since Gao Huan implemented a five-year plan, invested nearly 10 million taels and carried out various construction and procurement, anyone who wanted to do something on the ground in Nanjing could get a job.

The renovation of the old city of Nanjing City and the construction of the Lu Shi Yamen, the Navy Yamen, the martial arts lecture hall, the Engineering Science Hall and other buildings attracted tens of thousands of migrant workers.

This is just a direct involvement in construction, and the supporting furniture production, acre brick firing, lime firing and other industries have all absorbed a large number of hired workers.

When these people have jobs, they have salaries and need to spend money.

Of course, they are not the main force in Nanjing City's consumption. The real main force is the 200,000 imperial guards and relatives stationed inside and outside the city, as well as students from various schools.

These people are not engaged in agricultural production and cannot be self-sufficient in life. They need commercial activities to solve the problem of food, drink, accommodation, transportation, and clothing.

Now Nanjing has a population of up to 600,000 or 700,000 people, and the population is also frequent, so it is almost profitable to do any business.

In Nanjing City, Changchun Building can only be considered medium-sized and not very conspicuous. At first, the business was not good, and the owner seemed to have no intention of operating it. However, since mid-last year, a large area of ​​civilians on the south side of the restaurant was renovated in the old city. A large number of migrant workers arrived, and the original people suddenly had a lot of money, and the restaurant's business became more and more popular day by day.

Hou Xun stood outside Changchun Tower for a moment, then walked into the restaurant, preparing to get on the line with the detailed work here.

At this time, as soon as he walked into the door, the waiter in the store warmly greeted him, "How many guests?"

When Hou Xun saw the waiter, he deliberately showed a sun and moon ring on his hand, but the waiter did not pay any attention and explained enthusiastically: "If the guest wants a private room, there is still one left now. If he wants to have a meal in the lobby, he still needs to wait for a while!"

Hou Xun frowned slightly, touched the ring on his hand, and felt a little confused.

Before he left, Luo Yangxing told him that as long as he showed this ring, the Jinyiwei in the Jiangnan region of Beiming would know his identity.

Those Jinyiwei who were hiding the shadows would take the initiative to approach and look for opportunities to meet him with the secret code.

At that time, as long as there is no problem with the secret code, the secret works of the Jinyiwei who hide the shadows will contact him and recognize his identity.

At this time, Hou Xun had been led into the lobby, and saw that it was extremely hot and full of guests.

In the lobby, it was crowded with diners on every table, a group of people without seats, waiting on long stools, and the business was booming.

Hou Xun frowned and felt that he had really walked into a restaurant. However, Hou Xun shook his head. He had been in Nanjing, and he would not make any mistakes in the address given to him by Luo Yangxing.

At this time, Hou Xun looked at the shopkeeper who lowered his head and skillfully fiddled with the abacus, thinking: "Maybe the level of the waiter is too low!"

Hou Xun saw that the waiter was still waiting for his reply, so he said in a deep voice: "Arrang a private room!"

The main people who eat in the lobby are civil servants working nearby. Hou Xun is a person with status and is not short of money, so he naturally chooses a private room.

"A private room!" The waiter shook his towel, happily led Hou Xun to the second floor, and pushed open a room.

Hou Xun sat in the private room, accepted the waiter's recommendation, ordered a few dishes, and ordered a pot of good wine.

"Customer, please wait! The food will be served immediately!" The waiter asked professionally: "Customer, do you have any foods to avoid?"

Hou Xun said in a deep voice: "Is your shopkeeper surnamed Wu? Please let him come here!"

The waiter was stunned. Their shopkeeper was originally surnamed Wu, but later changed his surname to Sun. Everyone in Nanjing called him Shangguillo Sun.

The person in front of him actually knew that the shopkeeper's surname was Wu, could he come from the north?

When Hou Xun saw the waiter's expression, he smiled slightly and revealed the ring again.

When the waiter saw it this time, he was obviously excited and finally remembered his original identity, the small banner official of the Beiming Jinyiwei.

The waiter did not dare to be negligent and quickly bowed and said, "Please wait for a while, I'll call the shopkeeper!"

The waiter carefully left the private room, closed the door, and then hurried downstairs. Soon, the middle-aged man who was busy planning to take action hurriedly walked up and pushed the door and entered the private room.

The shopkeeper is Wu Sanxuan, who is a distant relative of Wu Sangui. He is currently a Qianhu, a Jinyiwei Guard of the Northern Ming Dynasty.

After the fall of the Chongzhen Dynasty, the Jinyiwei of the Ming Dynasty was basically paralyzed.

Although many senior officials of the Jinyiwei such as Luo Yangxing surrendered to the Qing Dynasty, the Qing Dynasty did not trust the Han people and had their own intelligence system. The Ming Yiwei who surrendered to the Qing Dynasty was not valued and basically lost the ability to collect intelligence and arrest prisoners.

After the Qing Dynasty supported the Northern Ming Dynasty, Luo Yangxing and other Jinyiwei were assigned to the Northern Ming court, and the Jinyiwei gradually began to recover.

However, since the Northern Ming Dynasty court had only one province in Shandong, it was already unable to make ends meet with the income of more than 100,000 Northern Ming troops, so for a long time, the Jinyiwei could not get any resources.

Wu Sanxuan arrived in Nanjing three years ago and established a stronghold, but the Northern Ming Dynasty seldom allocated funds to him.

That was when Beiming not only refused to provide funds for collecting intelligence activities, but also often owed money, which made Wu Sanxuan and his brothers in the stronghold once had no food to eat.

In recent years, Wu Sanxuan has tried every means to maintain his stronghold, but there are still many brothers and spies who have left the organization because they have no financial income, which has also shaken Wu Sanxuan's heart.

In the past two years, the funds provided by the Northern Ming court have been renewed, but the amount of money and salary has not reached the average living standard in Nanjing.

Nanjing is prosperous, and the detailed works of Beiming are attracted by the ears and eyes, and they also want to live a better life and make more money.

Half a year ago, a group of people who came to Taipingfang and participated in the renovation of the old city walked into Changchun Tower in order to find a place to eat and opened another door for Wu Sanxuan.

Most of these civilians engaged in manual labor were refugees from the north. The wine and food in Changchun Tower were just right to their appetite. After they had eaten it, they paid for the meal and brought a lot of people the next day, which made Wu Sanxuan make a big profit.

With the booming restaurant business, Wu Sanxuan and his fine works in the stronghold soon discovered that opening a restaurant made a lot more money than their salary.

For a time, Wu Sanxuan led a group of subordinates to start working hard and making money. The restaurant also went from providing food to the villagers to providing high-end ingredients in the private room.

With the current business so popular, Wu Sanxuan and several subordinates have discussed renovating the restaurant, then listing the next store, expanding its business, and opening a branch.

If Hou Xun hadn't appeared today, everyone would have forgotten their detailed identity and would have been addicted to making money.

At this time, Wu Sanxuan walked into the elegant room, closed the door, looked at Hou Xun, and asked with a heavy expression: "Who is the guest?"

Hou Xun gently stroked his long beard and exposed the sun and moon ring on his fingers, "The sun, moon and stars are in the north."

Wu Sanxuan's face changed and he quickly saluted: "Wu Sanxuan, a thousand households of Jinyiwei, has met the adults."
