night

A silence

In this quiet night, several bloody killings occurred that scared the Shanxi merchants.

The Eight Great Imperial Merchants are the most outstanding representatives of Shanxi merchants. Once they died, the leader of the dragons. In one night, nearly thirty suppliers with close ties with them were destroyed.

Are they killed unjustly?

Of course it is not unfair. Poor people must have something hateful.

Even though these merchants knew that they were supplying goods to Dongkai, they were willing to cooperate with the eight royal merchants.

Doing such a thing is no different from treason. For many years, he has been eyeing the Ming Dynasty.

Not only do they often enter the pass and rob, but they also rob people. The entire Liaodong has been occupied by them. Don’t these merchants know?

If they hadn't provided support to Dongkai, Dongkai wouldn't have enough food to eat, so how could he have the strength to fight?

Under Qinglong, the Five Hundred Jinyiwei not only searched the Shanxi merchants, but also took down all the local garrison generals.

When Qinglong and others stood in front of the military supervisor and general, their good days came to an end.

It’s not that they didn’t resist, but when the soldiers discovered it, they had already become corpses and only sporadic battles occurred.

The soldiers who dared to fight Qinglong were all confidants of the garrison generals, but in the dark night, they were easily killed by the Jinyiwei.

Not all the soldiers were as unconscience as their bosses. One of them was a deputy general named Chen Yuan, who was an upright and loyal Ming soldier.

After knowing that the people who came were all commanders of the Ming Jinyiwei, he led more than 3,000 troops under his command and fell to Qinglong.

Although Qinglong is the commander of the Jinyiwei, he came on behalf of the emperor and he can make decisions on many things directly.

Chen Yuan naturally became the supreme commander of the Ming Dynasty.

In this way, Qinglong has received strong support from local garrisons.

Of course, those officials who colluded with Shanxi merchants were not spared.

If they dare to collude with foreign enemies and sell their country, and dare to make money from the national crisis, they should be prepared to be destroyed at any time.

Before many officials woke up from their dreams, they had already put cold embroidered swords around their necks, and their whole family was killed.

In three days, with the help of Chen Yuan, Qinglong, almost all the officials and businessmen in Zhangjiakou who had colluded with Dongkai were eliminated.

Quarantine was found to have 500,000 taels of gold and 13 million taels of silver, and countless fields, shops, minerals, etc.

For Chen Yuanhe's loyalty to the Ming soldiers, Qinglong made the decision and directly transported three million taels of silver to him as military pay.

As a result, all the soldiers who had not received military pay for a long time fell to the ground in tears and shouted long live in the direction of the capital.

As for the remnants of the bandits leading troops to support, it was impossible. The head of the general Jiang surnamed Shanxi had long been taken away by Cao Zhengchun, and it was in chaos.

In the local garrison tent, Qinglong and Chen Yuan were discussing the silver issues. There was too much silver. If it was transported back to the capital, I would be worried on the way.

Finally, Qinglong decided to transport all the gold and silver to the Fan family, and Chen Yuan moved the headquarters of the garrison to the Fan family.

Their main task now is to ensure the safety of gold and silver. They will temporarily put down other things and make plans after Qinglong returns to the capital to ask the emperor for advice.

The bloody storm has passed. After the local people learned that the families that were destroyed were all businesses that colluded with the East Caught, people gradually got rid of their fear.

Zhangjiakou has regained its prosperity again, but many people have discovered that the shop doors of those profiteers were locked, and people are talking about it for a while.

"Look at these shops, this one belongs to the Fan family, and that one belongs to the Wang family..."

"It's good now that they all die. I wonder if the food prices that were raised by them will fall."

...

On a bustling street, a five-story building is particularly eye-catching. Not only is the decoration magnificent, but the girls coming and going inside are even more beautiful.

If someone pays attention, you will find a phenomenon that the customers entering and leaving here are mainly male.

If you are looking closely, you will find that a large golden plaque is hanging in the middle of the main gate of the building.

There are three large golden characters on the plaque.

"Xiuchun Tower"

This is the most famous and top-notch romantic place in Zhangjiakou, which is where Chunhong and the others work (Xiuchun Tower)

It is worthy of being the place where Shanxi merchants made their fortunes, with people coming and going, and Xiuchun Tower is crowded with people. Most people cannot fill their stomachs, so of course they will not rely on consumption here.

The guests who can come here are either high-ranking officials or wealthy businessmen and their children.

Facing such powerful and wealthy customers all day long, the boss of Xiuchunlou will definitely not be an ordinary person, otherwise he would have been eaten by those people.

A family of Xiuchun Tower, it is not a dream to earn millions every year. Who makes money and powerful people like this?

A few days ago

In order to greet other imperial merchants, Fan Yongdou took eight golden flowers from Xiuchun Tower, and the reward for a day was 300 taels of silver.

Don’t underestimate three hundred taels of silver. Ordinary people will not earn anything for half their lives, but they will spend it in one day.

"Xiao Chunhong, sister, please see Mr. Wang. You haven't seen guests for three days. But they said that they have 50 taels of silver a day."

"No, didn't I say that someone will come to pick me up these two days, and I will definitely not give you less money when I fall."

In a luxurious big room, Sister Xiuchunlou was trying hard to persuade Chunhong to see the guests.

But Chunhong said nothing, she was waiting for Qinglong to redeem her.

Three days later, the boss was already impatient to wait, which made him earn a lot of money.

Chunhong was also very anxious. Logically speaking, if the adults hadn't forgotten, they would have come long ago.

Haven't come yet, has he forgotten his promise to Chunhong?

The eldest sister repeatedly persuaded her but failed, so she had to leave in disappointment.

Then, the owner of Xiuchunlou, Ma Quan, brought a young man to Chunhong's room in person. When he saw the boss coming, Chunhong felt panic.

Although the horse is not very good and the legs are still a little problem, this person's method is not simple.

Chunhong knew very well how powerful the boss was. Once a sister was unwilling to see the guests, but was later thrown down the stairs and killed by the boss.

Chunhong is proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, singing and dancing.

Although he is not the most beautiful girl in Xiuchunlou, he is the person who calls the most.

Seeing the boss come in, Chunhong hurriedly got up and poured him a cup of tea:

"Boss, why are you here? Please have tea."

"Drinking tea? Do you don't need to buy tea for money? Chunhong heard that you didn't see guests for three days. Do you know the consequences of doing so?

The items Xiuchun Tower will not be in vain. You will have to see them even if you don’t see them today, otherwise the consequences will be very serious.”

"Young Master, you can do whatever you want. I'll go back first. If she doesn't obey, you can do it."

After the boss said that, he glared at Chunhong fiercely, turned around and walked out of the room.

The prince who just came here was not tall and almost all grew into a circle and developed completely horizontally.

After the boss finished speaking, he walked to Chunhong with a smile, and his hands were placed on Chunhong's shoulders.

"Xiao Chunhong, I have heard of Daming for a long time. I have been waiting for you for three days. Today I finally got the chance to meet. I am very honored. I like a girl with personality like you."

Chunhong looked at him coldly and shook off his dirty hands with disgust:

"Young Master Wang, there are so many girls in Xiuchun Tower. Why do you have to bother Chunhong? I have seen someone now, please go back."
