Yang Shida's power was indeed extraordinary. After half an hour, Liang Shifa said dejectedly: "Sir, I'm sorry, I'm useless. It seems that I can only go to Yangzhou."

Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "It's just a small frustration. It's only a few days to delay the left and right. But I don't believe that more than a hundred salt merchants in Yangzhou can be influenced by Yang Shida."

"That won't be." Liang Shifa said: "There are many salt merchants in Yangzhou, and there are also Shanxi merchants. These two families are connected to each other and have mixed forces. There are many eunuch husbands in the capital, as well as the nobles of Nanjing, such as the Duke of Wei and the Chengyi Bo family. Not to mention Yang Shida, even his brother, it is impossible to control the salt merchants in Yangzhou."

Min Yuanqi didn't know much about these things. He only knew that Yangzhou salt merchants were very powerful and did not understand the specific things.

The formation of the Yangzhou salt merchants and merchants was quite complicated. In later generations, those who were not professionals would not study them in detail. Yangzhou salt merchants had more and more positions during the Ming and Qing dynasties. During the Ming Dynasty, they colluded with eunuchs and nobles to ask for salt from the emperor and shared their weight. In the Qing Dynasty, they formed a monopoly. In order to give back to the benefits given by the court, salt merchants also donated hundreds of thousands or more taels of taels in military supplies and river work hours, which can be regarded as a small treasury maintained by the Qing court in disguise.

The Ming Dynasty was not as good as the Qing Dynasty's ruling mind. It was a big group of salt merchants who were extremely fat. The benefits of a penny could not be lost. The emperor was as poor as his pants, so these people would not donate a penny to the Emperor of Ming.

"Then go to Yangzhou." Min Yuanqi clenched his fists and said in a deep voice: "It's just a few more days to go."

...

Zhu Wanchun had been secretly looking at Min Yuanqi and the other two for a long time.

The three people in front of me are not very prominent among the bustling crowds. There are many people fleeing south in chaos in the north. Xuzhou is the primary place and Huai'an is also an important transfer center. The Shige troops have sent some battalions to garrison one after another. There are already many soldiers in the garrison in the city, and recently many have been transferred into the city to prepare to act as the garrison force on the second line.

This makes people feel uneasy, just like walking in a deserted grave at night. There is nothing, but I always feel that the cold air is always on my back.

The three soldiers in the garrison, the test hundred households among them was Zhu Wanchun's most interested in. The fight at the wharf had already reached Huai'an, and Zhu Wanchun also knew the details of Min Yuanqi.

The Min family, who had just started the job, had no commendable deeds before, just like a sudden meteor, emitting a brighter luster than ordinary stars.

As for Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa, Zhu Wanchun didn't care much. With the strength of the Zhu family in Huai'an, ordinary small-flag military officers looked almost the same as servants.

Even if Min Yuanqi's family background and official position are not enough, the Zhu family is a Dayan merchant family who can deal directly with the commanders and commanders of Dahewei and Huai'an Guard. The background is quite strong. Even if it is a military commander of the Qianmen, a senior civil and military official like Shanyang County, the Zhu family can still be shocked.

What Zhu Wanchun liked Min Yuanqi was the courage and personal force of this test household, and had great martial arts skills, and had to have courage and mind. Otherwise, it would not be difficult for the Zhu family to find a martial artist who was similar to Min Yuanqi when they went to the battleship.

Official positions, skills, courage, and mind are all added together, which is barely worthy of Zhu Wanchun's friendship.

And the most important reason is that the current situation is under the general trend, the importance of the warrior is becoming more and more obvious. The Zhu family also had some military officers before this, but that was a relationship established by each other with their interests, and there was no real friendship. While Min Yuanqi was still in the downs, he would make friends with him. In the future, he would be the real helper!

When Zhu Wanchun thought of this, he shook his head and sighed. The family had been passed down for a hundred years. His family came from Tongzhou, Shaanxi. Back then, he was the relationship of Ma Ziqiang, a Grand Secretary. After the Shanxi merchants grew up, they went to Huai'an to buy a salt-worn operation. In a blink of an eye, the family's capital had changed from 100,000 to one million. If it weren't for the current change of changes in the world, why would Zhu Wanchun have to work so hard?

After complaining in his heart with self-pity, Zhu Wanchun's face was already full of smiles and walked towards Min Yuanqi and the other two.

When I got closer, I felt that Min Yuanqi's demeanor and expression were different from ordinary people after all.

In terms of body shape, Min Yuanqi is one head taller than ordinary people, which is not surprising for the children of the general family. He has practiced martial arts since he was a child to strengthen his body, and he has also kept up with his diet. It is not surprising that he is tall.

Min Yuanqi was about 5 feet eight, and in later generations it was about 1.8283. In later generations, it was quite normal in later generations, especially among young people. In the Ming Dynasty, where men were on average 1.6 meters tall, it was quite outstanding.

Min Yuanjin was five feet six, and Liang Shifa was five feet five, both of which were higher than ordinary people.

Zhu Wanchun was only five feet three, and he was not in a good mood when he saw these three people.

In terms of appearance, the three flag soldiers were very ordinary. Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa both had yellowish complexions and were a little dark, and at the same time they were thick and big. At first glance, they knew that they were working very hard on weekdays.

Min Yuanqi's face was whiter, but his eyebrows were just ordinary, with thick eyebrows and big eyes. He knew he was a child of a general family. What made Zhu Wanchun feel good was Min Yuanqi's demeanor and expression. Although he was rejected by many salt shops, Min Yuanqi's eyebrows were a little anxious, but overall, he was calm and calm, no matter how embarrassed he was or even despised. Min Yuanqi's face had a faint smile, which made people feel quite comfortable.

Of course, Zhu Wanchun would not know Min Yuanqi's inner activities. After being rejected like this, Min Yuanqi was also anxious.

The two sides met quickly, Zhu Wanchun first bowed with fists and said with a smile: "I have met Min Baihu."

Min Yuanqi quickly stood up and looked at the person opposite him.

He is about a shorter than himself, but his body is moderate, he looks neither tall nor short, he looks quite handsome, delicate facial features, fair complexion, and his hair is not messy at all. He has Tang scarves on his head, and his robes are silk robes, jackets, and his tailor is quite suitable.

In addition, he also has a folding fan in his hand, which looks like a standard rich young man.

Min Yuan opened his hand and bowed. The person in front of him must have a good identity. It is not necessary to take out the sixth-rank official position of the hundred households.

Judging from the reserved expression of the person opposite, he feels that he is having sex with him at the close of the festival.

"I'm Zhu Wanchun..." Zhu Wanchun paused for a moment, and glanced at the small flag official named Liang Shifa from the corner of his eyes.

Sure enough, Liang Shifa's eyes lit up and he quickly clasped his fists and said, "The Master Zhu from Wanhetang has always been acclaimed for a long time."

Zhu Wanchun smiled very well. The little flag officer in front of him was indeed the same as he observed. He was the smarter and smarter among the three. Such a person could not know him, Zhu Wanchun, and the other party's attitude was also expected. As for the identity of the seventh-rank military officer, Liang Shifa and Zhu Wanchun of course ignored it intentionally or unintentionally.

"Wanhetang and the largest large-scale commercial banks in our Huaian Prefecture City have not only business in Huaian, but also in Andong, Baoying and Yangzhou." Liang Shifa introduced Min Yuanqi with a surprise expression. He had been to Wanhetang before and was rejected without any surprises, but the young owner of this large-scale commercial bank suddenly appeared in front of everyone. This was really a very surprising surprise.

Zhu Wanchun smiled and said, "Liang Xiaoqi has been awarded. My Wanhetang is still far from the big merchants in Yangzhou."

Although he is humble, he is still quite proud of his quarrels.

Zhu Wanchun raised his eyebrows and said, "Looking at you running for a long time, I must be tired and tired. I prepared a table in the restaurant. Please invite Lord Min and two small flags to enjoy the scenery?"

Min Yuanqi smiled happily and said, "Zhu Shaodong invited him, this is a good thing that he could not find. Let's disturb this."

...

The banquet was held in the Spring Festival Gala Building. Zhu Wanchun ordered a table of two taels of medium-sized tables, one tael of silver for the lower class, and five taels of silver for the upper class. After the four of them sat down, the restaurant started serving dishes, and soon the table was filled.

The wine is also a top-quality wine that has been steamed many times. Although it is not souvenir, its degree is much higher than that of rice wine and corn.

The dishes are mainly steamed, such as steamed duck, steamed goose, and sea cucumbers. Some roasted roasted, such as roasted clams, roasted lamb legs, and roasted venison.

Then there are side dishes such as wine lees, duck feet, wine lees, drunk shrimp, pickled crabs and other side dishes.

There are a lot of things, a table full of them.

"Please use it," Zhu Wanchun held the chopsticks, ordered the dishes on the table, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be polite."

Min Yuanjin's eyes were a little straight, but he pressed his hands on his knees and couldn't move.

Liang Shifa looked as usual, looked at Min Yuanqi with his eyes, then lowered his face and looked at the table attentively, as if there was something interesting and fun under the table.

Min Yuanqi nodded slightly. These two people, Liang Shifa, were smart and alert, and had self-control. It seemed that they were really determined to serve him. Min Yuanjin was a member of the Min family, and was not as smart as Liang Shifa, but he still controlled it at the critical moment.

"Young Master Zhu, don't be polite." Min Yuanqi said in a deep voice: "We came to the capital city to find food and drink, otherwise we would have gone to the restaurant long ago. With our salary, we can't be rich and rich, and it's not impossible to spend a tael of silver and have a good meal and drink... Let's not rush to eat and drink first, let's talk about the main business first."

Zhu Wanchun smiled, put down his chopsticks, and said, "Min Baihu is decisive in his work and cruel in his methods. He is a character. He comes to the city to concentrate on finding his next family, and is dedicated to his subordinates, and acts in a well-organized manner. This is also admirable. Enjoy the present, suppress it first, and will is also convincing."

Min Yuanqi had a heart attack and knew how hard Min Yuanjin and Liang Shifa had endured it.

He was from later generations and was still a civil servant with a little status. Not to mention the banquet in front of him, he was tired of eating ten times higher than this one.

It can be said that Min Yuanqi did not take the banquet in front of him seriously at all. He glanced at it and was more curious than his appetite. After all, it came from a banquet in the late Ming Dynasty. Just studying and analyzing this banquet can be enough to write a professional paper.

But for ordinary flag soldiers, even if they are a hundred households, there may not be many opportunities to attend such a banquet in their lifetime. The fragrance and a wide range of dishes are too tempting for the poor flag soldiers who eat coarse grains for most of their lives and cannot eat meat ten times a year. Even if it is a small flag and a general flag, the temptation is too great.
