The merchants' eyes are now green. What is the concept of "Merit Family" written by King Yan himself? With this character, he can declare himself a great charity in Peking City.

Although the King of Yan is not as great as the emperor, in this Beiping City, the King of Yan’s handwriting is definitely much more useful than the emperor’s handwriting. This is called the Emperor of Shan Gao.

This policy is good. With this signboard of a great charity, your business will be better in the future. Not only will you make fame, but you will also open up the way for money in the future. This is a killing two birds with one stone.

But before this, they have to make sure that it is the authenticity of this matter. Why doesn’t Jin Zhong announce it himself, but instead ask a little kid to announce it? Are you afraid that something will happen in the future and it will be denied?

Although the merchants were attracted by interests, they did not mean that they were idiots. So a businessman asked, "I said, Xiaomao, who are you? Why are you announcing this policy? How are you sure that His Highness Yan would give me a handwritten letter?"

When someone asked a question, many people naturally agreed, so the platform immediately turned into a vegetable market, chattering non-stop.

"As for who I am, you don't know, so I won't say it. As for you, how can I be sure that Your Highness will give you a word? Because I got the word Your Highness gave you, and the word Your Highness gave you a word Your Highness. If you don't believe it, you can ask Lord Jin and Lord Zhang, and they can testify to me."

"Yes, Hu Ye's words are the truth. I can testify to this." Zhang Yu said loudly.

Zhang Yu is still very influential among these people, so once Zhang Yu said it, no one doubted the authenticity of these words.

"I'll pay a thousand taels!" After Zhang Yu's confirmation, one of the merchants immediately shouted.

This roar did not scare Hu Ye. Grandma, these businessmen are not ordinary rich. When Zhou Kai offered his reward for his head, it was only 1,000 taels. At that time, someone was trying to rush up and cut his head regardless of the brave old money.

Now a businessman takes out a thousand taels, which hurts Hu Ye very much. It seems that he underestimates the merchant's wealth.

But Hu Ye's shock had not passed, because the next voice was raised to two thousand taels, and then another five thousand taels popped up. Hu Ye looked back and saw that Jin Zhong, Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu were already stupid. Their salary was only one hundred taels a year, which was the treatment of third and fourth rank officials. In other words, these merchants could only take over the work of the court for decades whenever they took action.

Hu Ye knew that it was no longer possible to expect them to calm the scene now, so he had to bite the bullet and go on.

"Friends, be quiet, the person who contributes the most will definitely be on the list of good people, but those who can make the list of good people do not have to pay a lot of money. You also know that a few days ago, His Highness of the King of Yan made a northern expedition and drove away the remnants of the Northern Yuan Dynasty. Although he won the stability for several years for Peking, his military rations were consumed severely. So His Highness of Yan also said that donating grain can also be on the list of good people." Hu Ye explained.

It would be fine if Hu Ye explained, but as soon as he explained, the audience turned into a vegetable market. One person said five hundred stones of grain, the other immediately said one thousand stones of grain, and then one rose to two thousand stones.

If this continues, it will definitely turn into a fight. The reason is that you can't pay more food than me, or you'll despise me.

Hu Ye quickly came to the underside of the gongs and drums, and beat the gongs and drums to the sky, which calmed down the noisy businessmen.

"Don't argue. Whoever wants to pay as much money or donate as much food, can go to Master Jin to register, and then send these things to the Yan Prince's Mansion every afternoon. Then the next day, the palace will post a list of good people at the nine city gates. The list is changed every day, so if everyone finds that they have been surpassed, they can still continue to pay donations the next day."

Hu Ye smiled treacherously. He now felt that he was even more profitable than the group of businessmen in the audience. Not doing business in his previous life was really a disgrace to his talent.

"Five days later, Your Highness Yan will write "Meritorious Family" for the people on the list. Of course, as long as you pay the money, your name will appear on the merit monuments of the two dams. Even if you only pay a penny, you will also contribute to this major project."

"Okay, please line up now. Those who take the money and food will go to Lord Jin to ascend the throne. Those who work hard will go to Lord Zhang to register. When the construction starts, someone will naturally notify you." Hu Ye arranged.

Chinese people always don’t like to queue up, whether in the Celestial Empire or the Ming Dynasty, they always like to crowd together. They didn’t see that two merchants were fighting to write their names earlier. The other one couldn’t stand it and joined the battle group. So the people behind consciously bypassed them and joked that if they had three opponents in front of them, the fool would wait behind them.

Hu Ye shook his head helplessly as he looked at the registration scene in a mess. The problem that the civilized society in the twenty-first lifetime has not been solved, can he still solve it? So Hu Ye shook his head and came to Jin Zhong's side, watching Jin Zhong write messages.

It would be fine if I didn't look at it, but Hu Ye was shocked.

"Zhang Dagou, the cloth business. He pays 3,000 taels of money and 500 stones of grain."

"Li Sicheng, the grain and oil business. He pays 2,000 taels of money and 2,000 stones of grain."

"Sun Tao, the money shop business. Pay 8,000 taels of money."

"Lin Aotian, the escort business. He paid 5,000 stones of grain."

...

...

...

The strangest thing is that Hu Ye actually saw a brothel owner paying 10,000 taels of money. Hu Ye couldn't help but sigh that no matter what era, such a business is so profitable.

Jin Zhong felt numb to numbers. He never thought that he was a fourth-rank official at least. But in the eyes of these people, he was just a pauper and no one else would look at him directly, which hurt Jin Dashen.

Ignoring Jin Zhong's trembling hands, Hu Ye came to Zhang Yu again.

The atmosphere here has improved a lot. The people are waiting to register one by one. They are not as profitable as there, but only ten cents a day. They feel that there is no need to hurt the harmony for ten cents. So when they see someone who goes to the line, they just smile.

Hu Ye felt that this simple folk custom needs to be promoted, so he asked Lao Qian to throw the person who was in the lineup to the end of the team, which made him the most annoying.

Soon, the registration of the people on the Merit Platform was completed. Just as Jin Zhong and Zhang Yu were about to finish the work, they found that many people were coming, so they found another account book. There were too many people just now and they had already used up one account book.

When Jin Zhong and Zhang Yu finished work, it was already dark, and they realized that their group had not eaten yet. Hu Ye felt that it was wise to eat two steamed buns before he left, otherwise it would have become a pile of mud.

If you find a accountant to record it, it will definitely not take so much time. However, Zhang Yu and Jin Zhong are not writing and keeping books. They are very trembling when writing, especially Jin Zhong, who writes more numbers. It was originally a matter of one thing, but the guy just wanted to show off and wanted to write traditional Chinese, so he recorded a person's message, which took three people a lot of time.

Fortunately, there are not many businessmen today, otherwise Jin Zhong would not finish writing even if he fought until tomorrow. This hurt Hu Ye very much. Why did it be so troublesome to remember counting in ancient times? So Hu Ye felt that it was necessary to promote Arabic numerals in the Ming Dynasty, and at least it could solve the problem for many accountants.

After packing the account book, Jin Zhong took two steps in a dizzy way, and he was a little dizzy. Hu Ye was wondering, just like this, how could he become the Minister of War in the future? Isn’t this a negative teaching material for soldiers across the country?

Zhang Yu is worthy of being a long-standing battlefield. Even after sitting for a day, he was full of energy when he stood up, but his arms were trembling. He would be willing to ask him to pick up a horizontal knife to chop people, but he felt that a brush was heavier than ten horizontal knives. If Zhu Di had not given the instructions before, he would not have been a temporary accountant even if he had been beaten to death.

So these two people have a feeling now, that is, they will not be the accountant's gentleman tomorrow, even if Zhu Di ordered it, it would not work. This is not a place to stay.

He asked someone to send two account books to the Yan Prince's Mansion. Jin Zhong and Zhang Yu took Hu Ye and Zhang Fu to a small shop and asked the stall owner to come with four bowls of mutton noodles.

In Hu Ye's impression, don't the third-rank officials of the court all sit in high-end restaurants and enjoy the peerless beauty? Why did you come to this small shop where birds don't poop? Even if you two are very poor, you don't have to eat mutton noodles worth five cents a bowl. Are you slapping Zhu Di in the face?

Although Hu Ye was reluctant, the truth was not always in the hands of a few people, so he had to pick up a pair of chopsticks that he had not changed for a long time and started to eat noodles.

Although the taste is good, I always feel that there is something missing. After taking another sip of the soup, Hu Ye finally found out that there is no chili. He has lived in Sichuan for more than ten years and has long been with chili. Especially the pickled chili, even if there is no vegetables, Hu Ye can only eat this pickled chili.

However, it will take more than two hundred years for the pepper to be introduced to China. Hu Ye can only sigh to the sky now, feeling that life seems to be missing a great joy.

Hu Ye's sighing to the sky naturally made the other three people misunderstand, especially Zhang Yu said proudly, "Boy, my subordinates have a good cooking skills, this bowl of mutton noodles is comfortable to eat."

"Is this called comfort?" He put away his sighing. Apart from trying to let Zheng He sail as soon as possible, Hu Ye couldn't think of any other way to get the peppers. Now, he could only bear it. So after instigating a mouthful of noodles, he said, "It tastes good, it's okay to fill his stomach, but it's not worth it to be comfortable."

"Boy, you are just a clever man. We are not so particular about it. This boss is my former subordinate, and he was useless in the battle again. So I asked him to retire from the army and do some small business. Whenever I have time, I will come to take care of his business." Zhang Yu pointed to the busy stall owner and said.

Hu Ye looked at the stall owner and found that his upper limbs were very strong, and he seemed to have been in the army. Finally, he knew why Zhang Yu and Zhang Fu had such a high reputation in the army. Which subordinate would not support his subordinates in this way?

However, when he turned around and looked at Jin Zhong's pouting expression, he knew that Jin Zhong was not very satisfied with the mutton noodles. Obviously, he was often threatened by Zhang Yu and came to this stall to eat noodles.

Hu Ye looked at the shop again and found that there were not many customers, and he seemed very deserted.

"Hey, since he is Uncle Zhang's subordinate, I will help you." Hu Ye put down his chopsticks and ate it with this taste. There are few repeat customers in this shop. At most, passers-by are greedy for a cheaper meal to eat a bowl. In order to prevent Zhang Yu, his former subordinate, from being unemployed, Hu Ye decided to help him improve the taste.
