The merchants in the Ming Dynasty, especially those in Beijing, have backgrounds. Whether they sell food, rice, oil and salt, silk cloth, or even restaurants and cars, there are real bosses behind them. These bosses are either court officials or royal relatives.

Originally, the merchants in the capital had already been divided, and everyone had their own backend unless the backend was down. Other times, they would basically make their own money without damaging the river. However, Yan Fei suddenly built a department store, and all walks of life were hit hard in an instant.

Yanfei's department store sold almost everything, not only with excellent quality but also with extremely cheap prices. The people of the Ming Dynasty were not fools, and after their reputation spread, they would naturally come here to buy things. Even merchants from Tongzhou and other places came here to take a large number of wholesales back and sold. This kind of thing not only reduced the living cost in the capital city but also made other merchants unable to do business.

Cutting off people's wealth is like killing their parents. Yan Fei made a lot of money but offended almost all the imperial officials and royal relatives. After instructing the gang to make trouble, he was arrested and shot, and sent servants to make trouble and were arrested and shot. These people finally began to use the power in the court to impeach Yan Fei crazy.

In a very short period of time, the memorial to impeach Yan Fei filled the desk of Emperor Chongzhen's imperial study. There were even royal relatives like Zhou Guozhang and cried into the palace.

Emperor Chongzhen was in a bad mood. He was so angry that he had just met his father-in-law. The father-in-law, who had given his face when he called for donations before, shamelessly listed a lot of Yan Fei's guilt, and actually asked the emperor to reward Yan Fei's property, especially the department store.

Even Emperor Chongzhen was very surprised. How could he be so shameless as a human being!

In addition to this unreliable father-in-law, the emperor's relatives have frequently entered the palace in recent days, and they have said similar things. They all hope that the emperor will punish Yan Fei and reward him with his property.

Emperor Chongzhen, who came to the imperial study, was even more angry when he saw the piles of memorials on his desk. He picked up a memorial in dissatisfaction and opened it. The expression on his face gradually became strange because this memorial was actually speaking for Yan Fei.

Not only this book, but there are even a whole stack of memorials that speak for Yan Fei. These memorials are basically low-level officials and those from the Qingshui Yamen.

When the merchants in the capital look for a backer, they must look for a real big backer, such as the royal relatives of the Ministry of Dojo. If they really don’t work, they have to find a manager of the Six Ministry. There are so many officials in the capital, most of them cannot get the benefits.

Yan Fei had known that he would encounter such a thing, so he gave gifts to these people early. In addition to the initial poverty alleviation and relief, he also sent shopping vouchers printed in the modern world to these people when the department store opened.

Not only are these papers printed with ten, twenty, fifty, and one hundred exquisitely made, they can buy goods of corresponding amounts of silver when they are taken to the department store. Moreover, these things cannot be used as evidence of accepting bribes, after all, they are just papers with numbers written on them.

The Chinese New Year is coming soon. The wife of the family took those beautiful pieces of paper to the department store and brought back fresh and rare vegetables, beautiful fruits that she never thought of in the past, excellent texture, thick and cheap cloth, buckets of oil, skewers of frozen meat, candies that were popular in Beijing, candies for children, and other various good things.

This year finally came a fat New Year that has not been celebrated for many years. Don’t you know where it came from while eating, wearing, drinking, using and playing?

So when Yan Fei was impeached, these small officials wrote letters to speak for Yan Fei.

Yan Fei, who was watching the fun in the military camp, received a very surprising guest. Wang Chengen, the chief supervisor of the Ming Dynasty Palace and the eunuch of the Sili Supervisor.

Yan Fei will never discriminate against disabled people. He does not have much sense of eunuchs because in the modern world this species has long disappeared. His sense of eunuchs comes entirely from the information collected by the two history graduates in the company.

Yan Fei knew that Wang Chengen was a loyal minister. At the last moment, Emperor Chongzhen was the only one who was by his side and he also hanged himself to the country with the emperor. It was because of this Yan Fei that the chief supervisor received the Grand Inner.

"Mr. Wang, why do you have time to come to me today?" In Yan Fei's luxurious military tent, Yan Fei, who had a smile on his face, greeted Wang Chengen, who was pale and beardless, and sat down on the sofa.

"General Yan is really enjoyable here." Wang Chengen, who was still wearing fur, was so hot that he was sweating profusely after a while. He didn't care about etiquette and started to take off his clothes. "The earth dragons here are better than those in the palace."

"Ground Dragon? I don't have ground dragons here." Yan Fei was stunned, then pointed at the cabinet in the corner. "I use air conditioner."

"Huh?" Wang Chengen had never seen any air conditioner. He was puzzled and stood by the cabinet and looked at the beautiful material blowing the warm wind. After a while, Wang Chengen turned around and looked at Yan Fei with a strange look. "General Yan, why don't you pay tribute to Your Majesty if you have such a treasure?!"

"Qibao?" Yan Fei was stunned by him. When did the air conditioner that almost every household in the modern world become Qibao? Then didn't Gree become the world's strongest company?

"I'm talking about General Yan." Wang Chengen said twice, looking around at the leather sofa, glass coffee table, bright table lamp, fully automatic direct water dispenser, a wide range of wine cabinets, a 60-inch curved TV and even a microwave oven in the corner. "We know that General Yan is an overseas resident, but I didn't expect that General Yan really doesn't know about the officialdom of our Huangming. You have so many rare treasures but don't know how to pay tribute to His Majesty, so it's no wonder that you were impeached by so many people."

Yan Fei laughed but didn't explain anything. He didn't need to tell Wang Chengen that he wouldn't care about these things at all. If the Ming Dynasty court did too much, he wouldn't mind taking his army to break through the capital!

In Yan Fei's eyes, the Ming Dynasty court was just a partner who could cooperate with, not his superior.

"Mr. Wang." Yan Fei sat down on the sofa, picked up the teacup and took a sip. "What's wrong with coming to see me today?"

"I heard that General Yan opened a shop in the city." Wang Chengen sat down leisurely on the sofa opposite Yan Fei, and touched the soft sofa. "There are a lot of fresh fruits and vegetables inside, right?"

"Yeah." Yan Fei nodded, "Not a store, it's a department store."

"Why don't you send so many fresh fruits and vegetables to the palace in this winter?" After wandering around for a long time, Wang Chengen finally expressed his purpose. "The Holy Emperor is rich in the world, and some good things need to be paid first."

After Yanfei's department store opened, the living standards of the entire Beijing city were greatly improved. Not only the ordinary people bought things here, but also the wealthy families came here to buy things.

It would be good for ordinary people to buy rice, flour, grain and oil. They would cut two taels of meat home to satisfy their cravings. However, wealthy families bought all kinds of vegetables and fruits. These are good things that are not visible to Beijing in winter.

You should know that in winter, there are some vegetables in addition to pickled vegetables, and the yield is extremely low, and there is no surplus except for barely supplying royalty. Not to mention fresh fruits.

A few days ago, a concubine in the harem prepared a meal for the emperor when the emperor arrived. There were no big fish and meat, but mostly vegetables, tomatoes and cucumbers, etc., which were absolutely not available in winter. Emperor Chongzhen had a great appetite, and after the meal, he also served orange bananas and watery grapes.

If there are still some vegetables in Wentangjian, then fresh fruit is definitely a rarer product than gold in Beijing in winter. In the past, he could eat at most candied fruits or something. Emperor Chongzhen, who suddenly ate fresh fruits, was in a good mood. He not only praised the concubine for staying there that night.

After the news reached Empress Zhou, the queen was said to be so angry that she ate every day. After calling Wang Chengen over, she scolded him, accusing him of being unfavorable for his work, the concubine could eat good food at home and sent it to the palace, but the royal family didn't know at all!

As a slave, Wang Chengen can say anything else? He dares not say anything or can't say anything. This is why he came to find Yan Fei today.

Normally, this matter is not difficult. It would be impossible to send a few eunuchs to the department store to buy them. But the rules in the palace are not calculated like this.

In addition to the emperor's family, there are tens of thousands of eunuchs and palace maids in the palace. Of course, these people dare not have conflicts with the royal family, but the competition among eunuchs and palace maids is as fierce as that in the workplace.

If the things purchased from the department store are only supplied to the royal family, then the other eunuchs and palace maids will definitely be dissatisfied with the buyers and cause trouble. After all, there are so many things in the department store, why don’t you buy more for everyone to eat?

How much does it cost to eat with tens of thousands of mouths?

Not to mention that the palace now does not have that much expense, even if Wang Chengen has no courage to ask the emperor to open his mouth. So Wang Chengen thought of a solution, which is to let Yan Fei give away a large amount of free gifts in the name of imperial tribute!

Yan Fei, who finally figured out these, laughed and raised his legs leisurely lit the cigarette, "Give it for free? Then wouldn't I lose money?"

Wang Chengen was stunned, and then looked at Yan Fei in surprise, "The imperial tribute is a good thing that many people can't ask for. As long as it becomes a tribute, are you afraid that no one will buy it?"

"I'm not afraid that no one will buy it now." Yan Fei spread his hands and said, "The business is very good, and some people are buying it."

Wang Chengen had nothing to say. He did sell out without the title of tribute. This is why so many people wanted to move to Yanfei.

As forcing Yan Fei to pay tribute, it is a joke. The Ming Dynasty is in turmoil now, this move is okay to deal with small vendors, but who is Yan Fei? He killed hundreds of thousands of people in one battle!

Now Yan Fei is not only holding heavy troops in his hand, but also being in the emperor's heart because he can win battles. Once he is really forced to force him to get into trouble, who can resist and who dares to resist?
