It turns out that since Nanxun Town is a distribution center for lake silk, it has various teeth stores, so it only buys lake silk and resells, or takes the lead in making wires to collect benefits from it. Lake silk is a bulk business, and it costs tens of thousands of dollars. This is why there are too many wealthy dealers in Nanxun Town.

With such a great benefit, it is naturally impossible for everyone to do business in a regular manner. Those who are rich and powerful start to do some forced buying and selling, or raise or lower prices without authorization, or conduct extortion under various names. These people are commonly known as domineering.

This situation has been recorded in the original history, such as the "Taicang Prefecture Chronicles" and "Nanxiang Town Chronicles" during the Chongzhen period. In fact, even in the era of highly developed civilization in later generations, this situation still exists.

In Nanxun Town, there is naturally a sphere of influence between the two great men and the surname Chen and Wang. If these domineering people do not have these two major surnames behind them, they will not be able to gain a foothold in Nanxun Town.

At the beginning, the two surnames used these tyrants to make countless ill-gotten gains. Later, they began to grab each other's business. They waited on the edge of the river. When they saw the ships of the lake silk coming, they immediately intercepted them, snatched them, made white strips, or coaxed them to grab them. Even later, they were not satisfied with waiting for the rabbit in the town, and later they even went down to the village to grab the lake silk.

This situation caused both surnames to fight several times. Of course, it was a situation encountered when robbing the lake silk in the countryside. In Nanxun Town, everyone was decent and didn't take action.

Later, the imperial court opened the sea. When the wealthy merchants from all over the country came, the price of lake silk also rose a lot. The two major surnames agreed that if you have money, you can't make money together and you can no longer be the same as before. The rule set was that you could not send people to the countryside to rush to collect them, so that nearby lake silk could consciously concentrate in Nanxun Town. After arriving in the town, you would do whatever you like, and each rely on your ability.

Of course, there are other factors here. Because there are many people who run a business in the town, such as those from the capital, those from Nanjing, etc. They also don’t allow the tyrant to grab the business and think about it.

It is precisely because of this agreement that the originally remote Chen Youming's family became popular because it was the first in the entrance of the town. The ship transporting lake silk from the river, as long as it enters the town from this side, must first pass by his doorstep.

The surname Chen wanted to open a tooth shop in his house. If he adds some methods, his business will definitely be better than other families. However, Chen Youming was always excluded by the master's family and suddenly asked for his family, he would give him a pitifully little compensation. He had a wife and children to raise, so he naturally disagreed.

Unexpectedly, the master not only did not take the extra money for the same tribe, but instead asked for reasons that Chen Youming broke the valuables and asked him to pay for it. Now he even added his son's affairs. He was just a friend, so he could not afford to pay so much money.

After explaining the causes and consequences, Chen Youming said with great guilt: "Just because of the villain, Chen Youtong had already held a grudge against the master. He is the youngest son of the patriarch and he usually takes care of the domineering matters. Being worried about by him will probably affect the master's purchase of lake silk!"

In his opinion, no matter what background this master is, since he brought people to Nanxun Town, he must have come for Husi. Although this master should have a good background, the Chen family is a local snake, and there are also people behind the Chen family. If you really want to fight, you won or lose, but you are always bad to this master. Therefore, he feels very guilty.

Emperor Chongzhen smiled and said without any mind: "It's okay, I don't plan to buy lake silk. I just come here to take a look and ask you to take me to visit Nanxun Town later! How about it?"

When Chen Youming heard this, he felt relieved and quickly responded. As for his own troubles, although he really wanted to solve them, he didn't know the identity of Emperor Chongzhen after all, and he said that the other party was just his tenant. The Chen family was a giant, so he just let it go.

Emperor Chongzhen turned around and walked in, chatting again: "Does the appointment of those people ignore the matter of the domineering?"

Logically speaking, this is the countryside, and the government only goes to the county level, and local disputes are resolved by the appointment chief and these gentry. Some people will definitely make trouble for these conflicts, and the appointment chief will definitely come forward.

After hearing this, Chen Youming smiled bitterly: "The appointment is not suitable for the head of the Chen family, and it is definitely unfair to sentence the sentence. Otherwise, the onion would not have been cut off!

"That's true!" Emperor Chongzhen thought to himself as expected.

When he wanted to say something else, he saw Concubine Tian greeting him, wearing women's clothing, and said to Emperor Chongzhen with a smile: "Master!"

In order to facilitate the journey, Concubine Tian disguised herself as a man. Now she doesn't have to rush to, so she naturally changes back to women's clothing. Suddenly, her face shocked Chen Youming, whom she saw for the first time.

Liu Xingzuo, who was following behind, hit him without a trace, and didn't care too much. With the appearance of the imperial concubine, it would be strange if it was not eye-catching!

Chen Youming was hit like this and immediately came to his senses. He was a little embarrassed. He lowered his head and followed him for a while. Thinking of Chen Youtong's character, he was a little hesitant, but he still held back.

"After eating, I guess the shops are open. Let's go out again at that time, it's still early!" Emperor Chongzhen said with a smile when he knew that Concubine Tian was thinking of going shopping.

As for breakfast, there are naturally people who worry about it. The couple just want to eat it.

"Young Master..." Chen Youming suddenly whispered, then hesitated a little and didn't say anything for a moment.

When Emperor Chongzhen heard this, he turned to see him like this, and couldn't help but ask curiously: "What's wrong? If you have something to say, you might as well say it bluntly!"

Chen Youming's face changed a few times, and finally said, "Young Master, there is another reason why Chen Youtong has been making things difficult for the villain. The villain was inconvenient to say that now... now..."

He stuttered a few words, and when he saw Emperor Chongzhen showing a little impatient look, he still said the rest: "I'm a little pretty and attracted people's attention!"

Emperor Chongzhen was a little surprised when he heard this. He turned to look at Concubine Tian and suddenly came to his senses. Chen Youming said this at this time, probably because he saw Concubine Tian’s women’s clothing, so he kindly reminded him.

After understanding this, Emperor Chongzhen couldn't help but sneer: "I want to see who has eaten the courage of Bear Heart and Leopard!"

After saying that, he ignored it. Obviously, he did not take Chen Youming's reminder seriously, which made Chen Youming secretly worry. This lady's appearance is far better than her daughter-in-law, this...ah...
