Chapter fifty-ninth good luck

"A little bit to the right!"

"A little bit to the left!"

"Yes, a little higher, a little higher."

The four large characters "Huitong Trading Store" with golden borders are hung high, with red lanterns on both sides, and long couplets in regular style.

The sun shines in the sky, bright and beautiful, and everything is extremely festive at the transition from spring to summer.

In the teahouse diagonally opposite, in the second floor private room, Zhu Xu was standing at the window and watching.

Feng Zhu also smiled and flattered at Zhu Xu, "Your Highness, what do you think?"

"It's pretty good."

Zhu Xu also smiled. No matter what, the storefront seemed quite like that.

Wei Liangqing was busy and shouting loudly from time to time.

"Do you know who he has hired?"

Zhu Xu asked with a teacup in his hand and took a sip.

Feng Zhu shook his head and said, "I don't know. They all started last night. Wei Liangqing hasn't come to tell me yet. I guess there will be no shortage of people."

"Then let's wait and see."

Zhu Xu smiled more. After scrutinizing and knocking, Wei Liangqing must have used all his strength and surprise him.

Feng Zhu smiled on his face, but was secretly shocked. This little master seemed careless and casual in his work, but in fact everyone had their intentions, so he had to be more careful in doing things.

"Hurry up, move the chairs, move the tables, and serve the wine and food quickly."

"Clean the door, lay the blankets, and prepare the firecrackers."

"Dear neighbors and fellow travelers, today is festive, so why not come in and have a few wedding wine."

Wei Liangqing shouted at the door, and there was a surround him.

"Is this Wei Liangqing? I heard that he has gone to the official position..."

"Yes, I didn't expect that he would actually dare to open a money shop, aren't he afraid of being settled later?"

"Can't you tell me? It's obvious that someone supports me, otherwise how could it be so popular?"

People were talking about it, but few of them really dared to go in.

Wei Liangqing didn't really expect them to come in. He called someone and asked, "Are the carriage ready?"

"Big shopkeeper, ready."

This servant was sent by Zhu Xu. After a while of training, he acted quickly and well-behavedly, and quickly appeared in front of Wei Liangqing and said.

Wei Liangqing was in a good mood and said, "Okay, have you sent out the invitation? Is there any reply?"

The servant said, "It has been dispersed, not many people reply."

Wei Liangqing straightened his chest, looked up at the sky, and said confidently, "Okay, then let's start."

"Yes!" the servant agreed.

Not long after, red carriages rolled out from behind Huitong Trading Company and rushed toward all directions.

Gongs and drums are loud and firecrackers are ringing.

At the same time, the entire capital seemed to be disturbed. Wei Liangqing was originally a person of right and wrong. With his actions today, it is not an exaggeration to say that it was the focus of everyone's attention.

Ministry of Works Director's Office.

"Master, are you going today?"

"He has my handle in his hand, so he has to go."

Supervise the Censor's Office.

"Sir, are you going out?"

"Well, Lord Ni can't help but show his face. He will come out for a while after entering, and it must be nothing serious."

"Sir, be careful, don't give the people a clear explanation."

Honglu Temple.

"Sir, are you going to the banquet?"

"This, just walk around, just walk around."

"Yes, just go around casually."

Wei Zhongxian gained power, and I don’t know how many people curry favor with him back then. Now these are all handles, and Wei Liangqing is not ruthless in using them. Although their rank is not high, they are better than many people.

Yang Huaizhong Inn.

When the gatekeeper saw the big red carriage, he immediately entered the house and said to Yang Huaizhong, "Shopkeeper, the carriage sent by Wei Liangqing is here."

Yang Huaizhong has been almost done with Wei Liangqing these days, and he learned that Wei Liangqing is indeed in a mess.

Standing at the door of the room, he thought for a long time and said, "I won't go. Please let Manager Li go on my behalf and bring you 50,000 taels of silver."

"Fifty thousand taels?" The gatekeeper was shocked. They agreed to 300,000 taels at the beginning.

"Well, that's it. If Wei Liangqing asks about it, he will say that the money will not be turned on for the time being, and the others will be offered another day."

The gatekeeper hesitated for a moment and said, "It's the shopkeeper."

Pawn shop.

Qiu Yuehou looked at the big red carriage parked in front of the door, with a sneer on the corner of her mouth and said to the guy beside her: "You go to the counter to pay 500 taels of silver, get on the carriage, and go for me."

That guy was stunned. Is he suitable for such a big formation?

But Qiu Yuehou didn't talk much nonsense, and waved his hand and turned around and entered the house.

Such a scene is everywhere in the capital. Obviously, what you originally agreed to have changed your homage and will not come, and the money you promised was greatly reduced.

"Mr. Zhang, please come inside."

"Mr. Zhao, please."

"Oh, Lord Han, long time no see, please, please, please."

In front of Huitong Trading, people were coming and going, and Wei Liangqing couldn't stop smiling and greeted the guests who came inside.

Few people who had good faces came, all of them walked in with a stern face.

The Ming Dynasty's emphasis on agriculture and suppression of commerce can be said to be at an extreme, especially in the late Ming Dynasty, because the Qingliu official group expanded to the extreme, and the disasters year by year, the more important attention to tax revenue was paid to it, which also gave rise to greater pressure on business.

Especially in the court, anyone who is infected with the smell of money will resign from his post because of his worries.

Although these people are willing to come, they are all thinking of coming and leaving early and not giving people any help.

"Since you're here, you can't leave."

Zhu Xu held his hands behind his back and smiled at the people coming and going to Huitong Trading Company.

"Feng Zhu, take paper and pen, look at everyone in and out, write down their official positions and names, check them after they go back, and mark them clearly and present them to me."

Feng Zhu was stunned and then thought to himself, "Is Your Highness trying to catch these people for your own use?"

He thought so, then picked up the paper and pen and said, "It's Your Highness."

"Big shopkeeper,"

The guy who received the carriage hurried to find Wei Liangqing and reported: "Big shopkeeper, no one on your list comes, and, more than half of the money they invested."

Wei Liangqing was walking between the tables and tables. Hearing this, he frowned, walked to the side, and said, "Give me the account book."

The servant hurriedly brought the account book. When Wei Liangqing opened it, his face turned green and his hands holding the account book were trembling.

Originally, according to his plan and the 600,000 taels were basically not sold out according to his plan, but now it is less than 250,000 taels, which is half the discount!

"These killers!"

Wei Liangqing's face was distorted, and his eyes were red with hatred. He had already caused displeasure to the noble people recently. If this most important thing was not handled properly, he really didn't know what the noble people would think.

The servant asked, "What should I do if the shopkeeper?"

Wei Liangqing's expression changed and he gritted his teeth and said, "Look at what is in front of him first, and I will settle the score with them in the future!"
