Chapter 408: Disdain Silver Street

Since I was full of wine and food, I had no intention of listening to the nonsense of the scholars next door here. Several guards protected Jiang Feng and walked downstairs.

A guard opened the bag and took the silver to check out, but brought out an iron sign with a simple "three" engraved on it. The shopkeeper at the counter was a middle-aged man with a gentle face. After seeing this sign, the smile on his face quickly deepened a little, turned his head and asked the clerk beside him and said:

"Why didn't the distinguished guests of Sanjiang Trading Company take them to the yard behind, but went to the private room, which was very noisy there, wouldn't they neglect these people?"

The informant was stunned when he heard the shopkeeper's words. He looked forward with a very rude look at the sign, and then explained with a wry smile:

"Shopkeeper, you've wronged me. The guests didn't take out this sign at all. I don't know. There are two empty yards in the back!"

Jiang Feng and the guards were also stunned. The guards were unwilling to say anything. They took out the money and settled the account. The shopkeeper and the guest apologized and insisted on giving a 20% discount. This was the attitude of the store owner. Jiang Feng naturally did not care about this little money, nor did he continue to say more. He threw the money on the cabinet and turned around and went out with the guard. The service here was indeed much better than that day.

As soon as they left the door, a servant brought horses and other things over and waited at the door. This still made Jiang Feng quite amazed. He didn't have such a detailed idea back then. The group of people boarded the horses, and the guards were all bears and tigers. Although the group was dressed in civilian costumes, there was a kind of momentum between Gu Pan, but someone said coldly behind:

"There are so luxurious that these lowly people are so luxurious, and their discipline is corrupt and their discipline is corrupt!"

The sound was just heard in the restaurant's private room. It should be one of those scholars. Jiang Feng didn't take these people seriously at first, but the young and energetic people under him were furious and looked over. There were sixteen or seventeen people standing on the steps of Huifeng Tower. Seeing his clothes and dressed, sixteen or seven scholars and about ten servants. Jiang Feng's guards glared at him, and these people looked back without showing any weakness.

Jiang Feng looked over lightly. The people on the steps were full of provocative expressions. Who was there? The attitude and demeanor of scholars? The momentum developed by Jiang Feng's years of killing career was revealed. Seeing Jiang Feng and others wearing civilian clothes and being from other places, scholars who wanted to make trouble while drinking were drinking and immediately trembled in their hearts. The momentum developed on the killing field was something these dandy scholars could bear.

Of course, scholars who can come to places like Huifenglou for banquets are not children of ordinary families, but are usually children of officials from somewhere.

Jiang Feng took the horse and walked towards the way he came. He had to go through the steps after walking like this. The few people who felt guilty when they saw Jiang Feng's eyes. They found that the horse was rushing towards him. For some reason, they were actually scared. The person standing in the middle actually shouted out:

"My father is the prefect of Kaifeng Prefecture..."

The horse flew past him, and several people were so scared that they retreated one after another. Two of them evaded and fell directly on the steps, showing a lot of ugly appearances. Jiang Feng just turned his horse's head and left this street. He never thought about what to do to these scholars from beginning to end, and he didn't bother to do anything, but these people were so scared.

When Jiang Feng's guards saw these people in such ugly shapes, they all laughed loudly and followed their masters to run out quickly, and their anger was swept away.

At the beginning of the middle period of the Ming Dynasty, the so-called scholars had become another synonym for landlords and gentry. This is normal. Only the whole family of farming land may not guarantee food and clothing. How can you be willing to take out a complete labor and get out of business? As for the imperial examination, there are very few so-called miracles of poor scholars in high school. The more official the family is, the richer the family, and the more full the connections in the officialdom, the greater the advantage in the imperial examination.

After decades of metabolism, the people in the official imperial examination were basically children of landlords, gentry and family members of official families. Businessmen were unable to participate in the imperial examination because of their identity. Standing in that class, they naturally or unnaturally had to speak and defend their class.

These scholars from landlords were very disgusted and hated the business that was gradually becoming popular, because after all, the profits of the Ming Dynasty were still a few bureaucrats and most nobles.

Even if there are occasionally a few truly insightful heroes, they are flooded by the vast number of mediocre talents. Jiang Feng, who is galloping on the streets, is still thinking that the scholars whom he meets today who are full of benevolence, righteousness, morality, but act vulgar may be just a special case in this place of the capital.

There may be so-called outstanding talents in other places, and they will be found by themselves. However, most of the characters in the world are like this, but Jiang Feng miscalculated this. After all, he was influenced by the legendary novels he read without traveling through time, thinking that searching for talents is a breeze.

However, he did not expect that there were very few scholars like Liu Shunhua. You should know that there were no more than twenty people in the world who entered the Hanlin Academy, which was already the top scholar. What's more, Liu Shunhua started his career in poverty and had a very strong intention of utilitarianism and gambling.

Although the changes in Nancheng are quite large, the main road still looks the same. Jiangfeng will not get lost by galloping on horseback. There have been people familiar with the terrain of the capital leading the way. After turning a few streets, they will reach the place where they will settle this time. Jiangfeng is not unfamiliar with this street.

The money house that exchanged gold and silver in the iron box that day was on this street. At that time, this street in Nancheng was already a concentrated place for large commercial banks and money houses, and now it is even more extraordinary. The whole street is surrounded by blue bricks and black tiles, and the street is covered with stone strips, which looks very solemn.

There are not many portals on the street, only about twenty, each of which looks upright and elegant. The servants and men standing at the door are different from ordinary downtown areas. They do not shout loudly to attract customers. They all have a smile on their faces and respond gently and politely, and have a kind of demeanor.

Jiang Feng controlled the horses to walk slowly, looking at the street, thinking in his heart that this is really similar to the modern bank street, the difference is the building.

The money shops on the street are really familiar with Jiang Feng. On that day, Jiang Feng's money turnover was carried out through the Xu family, the Duke of Wei in Nanjing. In recent years, maritime trade was carried out with merchants from Jiangnan and Jiangbei, Japanese merchants, and Western merchants.

Moreover, after such a long period of dealings, I felt that it was becoming more and more convenient and inseparable. Su Guanyue was the first to think that this would not work. After all, Su Guanyue was personally circulated by his father who was a minister in the Ministry of Revenue and was extremely sensitive to such financial and income. She suggested to Jiang Feng that if this continued, it would be equivalent to the fact that Huazhou's finances were in charge of the Datong Money House, which would be hard work but made wedding clothes for others.

After saying this, others may not feel anything, but Jiang Feng vaguely felt that what he said was reasonable. This is because Su Guanyue and Zhao Xiucai planned to build a Huazhou Money House. In the current maritime trade, Huazhou Money House and the Grand Pass are about 46% separate businesses.

In fact, this feeling is not an unfair worry. Jiang Feng may not remember it, but in modern times, he has more or less heard of banks manipulating all companies. Of course, this is a prototype in Europe a hundred years later.

Next to the Grand Pass is Sanjiang Trading Company. The industries under the Jiang family army, Huazhou or outside the pass, have various industries. They are not at the sea, but at the Ming Dynasty.

After all, the largest market in the world is the Ming Dynasty itself. Various specialties outside the pass have become popular all over the country in the era of the Beijing Commercial Group. An important part of the profits of the manor outside the pass is on this. Jiangfeng's Huifeng Manor also has its own agent in the pass. "Sanjiang Commercial Bank"

However, the existence of this business is not only for buying and selling goods, but also for other purposes. For example, Sima, who was engaged in the capital, was mostly a client or shopkeeper of Sanjiang Trading Company. Therefore, he always acted in a low-key manner. These people only knew that this was a shop opened by a wealthy family in Liaoyang, but they didn't know anything else. Because of his low-key manner, when the wealthy and prosperous Beijing Trading Company was destroyed, Sanjiang Trading Company existed safely. After the inspection of the land, the internal and external passes were almost cut off, but the demand for specialties outside the pass is still quite large.

Sanjiang Trading Company took this opportunity to develop slowly. It has quietly monopolized the exchange of goods inside and outside the pass, and has become a large number of big deals in the capital.

The big shop naturally has a yard that hosts guests on the 12th floor, so the shopkeepers of Huifeng Building will question their guests after seeing this brand. Huifeng Building has always attached great importance to winning big customers like Sanjiang Trading Company. Naturally, they don’t know what the origin of the owner of Sanjiang Trading Company and Huifeng Building have.
