Liulichang, Boguzhai.

"This is Mr. Zhu of my family, the owner of the ten transparent glass cups." Shi Kefa introduced according to Zhu Yinglong's instructions.

The shopkeeper of Boguzhai is a middle-aged man in his thirties, with a square face and a full heavenly court. His eyes were often shrewd. He saw an extraordinary businessman. Seeing Zhu Yinglong and Shi Kefa, he quickly put down a piece of ancient jade in his hand, greeted him with a smile, clasped his fists at Zhu Yinglong and said, "I have seen Mr. Zhu in the Shenxi River!"

"Can Manager Chen borrow a step to speak?" Zhu Yinglong whispered.

Chen Xi naturally understood that there was something important to talk about, and hurriedly said, "Please, Mr. Zhu, there is a quiet room behind, which is just right to talk about it in detail."

The three of them sat down and Chenxi invited someone to serve fragrant tea. Zhu Yinglong also liked to drink tea in later generations, but he was short of money and could not afford good tea. When he arrived at this time and space, he had the opportunity to drink a lot of good tea. To be honest, the so-called tribute tea he drank was not much better than the tea in later generations, because he always drank a cow drink. Seeing the tea floating in the tea cup, it was green and beautiful. The smeller also had a light tea fragrance. After taking a sip, he felt sweet and had endless aftertaste, which was very different from the tea he had drunk in the past. He said in surprise: "Shopkeeper Chen, what kind of tea are you?"

Chen Xi was shocked and said somewhat complacently: "This is a kind of tea made in the underworld. It is named Green Robe. It is brewed with Jiangnan spring water. It is a bit negligent to serve guests. Please forgive me for Mr. Zhu and Mr. Shi."

Zhu Yinglong suddenly realized, why did I drink differently? It turned out that it was brewed with spring water from Jiangnan, so he praised it greatly. The relationship between the two sides was much closer, especially Zhu Yinglong's later generations only took a little business experience and made Chen Xi prosper. At the same time, Zhu Yinglong also had a deeper understanding of the status and situation of the merchants of this era. They were all very rich, but they had no status. After most merchants got rich in business, they generally liked to make land. In addition, officials and royal relatives left by the Ming Dynasty enclose land, land annexation, and 80% of the land was concentrated in the hands of these people. Among them, Shang People only account for a small part. Although they have money, they cannot buy land, and their property is often not effectively protected. The Ming Dynasty's law punishes false land taxes very heavily. As long as the high-ranking official takes a fancy to your land, the land will be gone. But even so, land is still the wealth that the entire society values ​​the most. The offshore trade in the Ming Dynasty was quite developed, and there were many pirates. On the coast of Fujian, there were dozens of pirate organizations of all sizes. The biggest one was Zheng Zhilong, who married a Japanese wife, and was rampant in the Taiwan Strait. He was simply a small prince.

Shi Kefa still didn't want Zhu Yinglong to have too much contact with Chen Xi, and he was quite restless. Zhu Yinglong also knew that sometimes the concepts could not be changed in an instant. Chen Xi gave Zhu Yinglong a good impression, and Zhu Yinglong also needed a commercial talent to help him. He thought Chen Xi was a good candidate, but he had not made a rash decision yet. Instead, he made an appointment to meet each other again on the auction day. Zhu Yinglong wanted to know about Chen Xi first.

It was rare to come out, and Zhu Yinglong pulled Shi Kefa into the most famous time-honored restaurant in the capital: Zuixianlou. Zhu Yinglong is a regular visitor. He ran with Xu Yingyuan a few days ago. Zuixianlou is a place where he often goes. The shopkeeper and workplace know him, but I don’t know that he is just a dementia prince who is circulating in the capital.

"Master, you haven't come yet." A guy I met immediately recognized Zhu Yinglong and greeted with a smile.

"A pot of good wine, two pairs of bowls and chopsticks, the dishes are the same!" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"You wait, I'll deliver it to you right away." The guy ran in happily.

Zhu Yinglong and Shi Kefa found a secluded table to sit down. Shi Kefa asked softly: "The prince seems to be very interested in the shopkeeper Chen?"

"Yes, is there any problem?" After drinking the 'green robe', drinking ordinary tea, it feels boring, but it is better to quench thirst.

"Does your prince want to do business?" Shi Kefa finally asked the question he had guessed for a long time.

"Where did you see it?" This sentence has already answered Shi Kefa's question.

"The prince and the shopkeeper Chen just now listened to the words of the prince. He didn't miss a word. The prince wanted to do business. I'm afraid that no one of the merchants in the world would be your opponent!" Shi Kefa said.

"Oh, Brother Xian is treating me with a high hat. I am just a mortal. There are so many talents in the world. How can I compare with the world?" Zhu Yinglong said with a smile.

"Kefa has a question and I would like to ask the prince." Shi Kefa suddenly asked seriously.

"Brother Xian, please say that I know everything and say everything." Zhu Yinglong also took it seriously. He vaguely guessed that this question was related to whether Shi Kefa would become a loyal person to him.

"Kefa wants to ask the prince, your knowledge and strong memory are far beyond Kefa. But you are not as old as a young man, and you are in the palace. Where did you get your vision and knowledge?" Shi Kefa stared at Zhu Yinglong and said. The more he came into contact with this young prince, the more Shi Kefa felt that his knowledge was so shallow. He even found that the books he had studied hard for more than ten years were useless, in addition to some inspiration in life, many of them were useless. Instead, the Master believed that strange skills and tricks were closely related to life. This is a completely alternative prince. How did he know these things and where did he learn these things? This has always been a mystery in his heart.

"Does Brother Xian believe in the divine right of the king?" Zhu Yinglong did not answer positively, but asked back.

"Kefa naturally believed it!" Shi Kefa said affirmatively without thinking.

"Does Brother Xian believe that my Ming Dynasty will destroy the country?" Zhu Yinglong asked calmly.

"Prince..." Shi Kefa trembled all over, as if he had been punched, and his voice was trembling.

"Tell me, do you believe it?" Zhu Yinglong looked straight at Shi Kefa. He had already expected Shi Kefa's situation and he was waiting for his answer.

"This, Kefa dare not say this." Facing Zhu Yinglong's forcing eyes, Shi Kefa had already had a cold sweat behind him.

"But I firmly believe that my Ming Dynasty will one day perish." Zhu Yinglong said very calmly.

"Prince, you can't say this..." Shi Kefa was even more surprised, but fortunately there were no people around him.

"I have been studying hard in the palace for many years and came to a conclusion that if I want to not destroy my country in the Ming Dynasty, there is only one way to go, which is reform. Can Brother Xian help me?" Zhu Yinglong said solemnly. He dared not tell him these words in the palace that in this well-connected restaurant, even if someone monitors them, as long as they are not around, their conversation will not be eavesdropped on for a moment. So he took a risk, and the purpose is naturally to subdue Shi Kefa for his own real use.

"This dynasty stipulates that the vassal kings are not allowed to interfere in politics without decree. The prince..." Shi Kefa was completely shocked, his tongue was a little knotted, and his speech was not easy. How could he not see the powerful ambitions shown by the prince.

Zhu Yinglong gave Shi Kefa time to consider it. After the wine and food came, Zhu Yinglong had a lot of fun eating. Shi Kefa tasted like a wax and was confused in his heart. His mentor taught him to be loyal to the emperor and patriotism, but the current monarch was not the young prince in front of him. If he accepted the invitation from King Xin, Emperor Tianqi had no descendants. It is okay for King Xin to inherit the throne in the future. If King Xin could not inherit the throne, according to King Xin's tone, he seemed to be planning a great rebellion. If one thing failed, he would become a rebellious minister. This would be the one who would destroy the nine clans. Do dozens of lives could be held in his hands, so how could he dare to agree easily?

"Young Master Zhu." Suddenly, a thick voice sounded next to Zhu Yinglong.

"Are you?" Zhu Yinglong looked at a strange face in surprise, a little familiar, but he couldn't remember where he had seen it. However, the other party did not reveal his identity, which showed ten thoughtful people.

"Young Master Zhu doesn't remember it was gone. That night..." the young man reminded him as if he was beating.

"Oh, you are the Jinyiwei Baihu who beat Zuo Qianhu?" Zhu Yinglong suddenly remembered that when he beat Zuo Qianhu that night, the middle-aged man was the one who attacked him.

"Young Master Zhu still remembers it?" the hundred households said happily.

"How could I not remember, come, sit down and have a drink?" Zhu Yinglong was first impressed by his courage to beat Zuo Qianhu, who did evil, and secondly, he was very smart and flexible, and knew how to hide his identity for him, so he called his friend to add another pair of bowls and chopsticks.

"I dare not!" The Baihu refused, but was still pulled down by Zhu Yinglong and sat down.

Zhu Yinglong was worried that he could not find the inner supporter in the Beizhen Fushi. Unexpectedly, all this person came to his door. If this hundred households dared to stand up and beat the Zuo Qianhu, he must be a man or a hundred households. He belonged to the kind of person who could approach the repeated offenders. This was the candidate arranged by God, so how could Zhu Yinglong let it go?

The hundred-husband sat down and suddenly whispered to Zhu Yinglong: "Thank you, the prince, for protecting the loyal and kindness, I am very grateful."

Zhu Yinglong was shocked, and looked at the Jinyiwei Baihu in plain clothes in surprise, and said in surprise: "What did you say?"

"Your Majesty, don't be nervous. Lord Xiong had kindness and villain many years ago. The reason why the subordinate followed Zuo Qianhu was to help Miss Xiong, but he didn't expect the lady to have a rescue from the prince." The Jinyiwei Baihu said.

Before Zhu Yinglong could let go of his wariness, he pretended to be surprised and said, "Where is Miss Xiong in this palace? Did the Baihun make a mistake?"

"The prince forgives his crime. His surname is Zhou and his name is Huai'an, but his family is in ruins. Lord Xiong and his father were good friends during his lifetime. After his father passed away, I was only ten years old. Thanks to Uncle Xiong's help, and I like martial arts by nature. Lord Xiong recommended me to be the Jinyiwei. The Xiong brothers and sisters were afraid of implicating me, so they did not inform me of the prison, so..." The Jinyiwei Baihu, who was named Zhou Huai'an, explained.

Zhu Yinglong's head was instantly short-circuited when he heard the three words "Zhou Huaian". Except for Wei Zhongxian and Zhu Youjian, the characters in "New Longmen Inn" are really in history, the rest of the characters are all fabricated. I didn't expect that he actually met a man named Zhou Huaian in this time and space, and he was also a Jinyiwei Baihu. Apart from lamenting coincidences, there were probably no adjectives to describe his feelings at this time.

It is a coincidence that the book is written. Zhou Huaian's appearance undoubtedly brought a major turn to Zhu Yinglong's plan to replace the pillar. Zhou Huaian is a hundred households of Jinyiwei under the Northern Fushi Department. He should be able to contact the court's serious offenders like Xiong Tingbi. If he was to implement this plan to replace the pillar, it would be the most suitable candidate. But be careful of sailing the ten thousand-year-old ship. Zhu Yinglong did not tell Zhou Huaian immediately about this plan, but just asked Zhou Huaian's address and sent someone to find him.

Before leaving, Zhou Huaian secretly told Zhu Yinglong that the eunuch party seemed to have suspected that he had sheltered the assassin who robbed the prison that night, but there was no evidence, and he had sent additional personnel to monitor his whereabouts. Fortunately, the person in charge sent to monitor today was Zhou Huaian. Zhu Yinglong, who walked out of the restaurant, was sweating and a layer of cold sweat appeared on his back. He recalled that he always felt surveillance in the mansion these days, and felt chill in his heart. It seemed that he had underestimated the eunuch party's ability.

"Prince, are you still going to Boguzhai?" Shi Kefa saw that Zhu Yinglong's expression was wrong and asked carefully.

Zhu Yinglong thought for a while and finally decided to go. He was also one of the bidders who invited him to participate. Now that he has the support of Zhou Huaian, I believe he will know how to do it. Since he wants to do big things, how can he be afraid of one's head and one's head?

The auction was held in a teahouse very successfully and the publicity was also good. At least half of the wealthy businessmen and corrupt officials in the capital have arrived. Although ten transparent cups are not rare treasures in the eyes of people in this time and space, they are also rare treasures. They actually sold an average price of nearly 10,000 taels and a commission of two percent, which is more than 2,000 taels. Ordinary families will not make so much money in their lifetime, which makes Shen Xi happy and cannot stop. Zhu Yinglong does not appear.

At the auction, he knew most of the people inside, including Wei Zhongxian's minions, Xu Xianchun, Tian Ergeng, Wei Guangwei, Cui Chengxiu, Zhou Yingqiu and others. Moreover, these ten cups of Zhu Yinglong were like the ones who came to cheat these bastards. The more they cheated, the happier he would be. It would be better to turn the gold, silver and jewelry of Wei Zhongxian and his minions into glass, and then on large-scale production, the things in their hands would become worthless, and they would vomit blood and hit the wall.

"Shopkeeper Shen, how much money can you earn in Boguzhai in a year?" Zhu Yinglong secretly met the shopkeeper of Boguzhai under the arrangement of Shi Kefa after the auction.

"It's about 20,000 taels." Shen Xi told frankly, seeing the huge benefits Zhu Yinglong brought to him.

"If I give you ten times, how about Manager Shen, who was not willing to do anything to me?" Zhu Yinglong asked.

"Ten times?" Shen Xi lowered his head and said to himself.

"I know that Shen Wansan's descendants do not like this little money. This is just a fraction of the money. Manager Shen? Well..." It is not easy to check the details of the shopkeeper of a small antique shop. Just ask Zhou Huaian and you will know what is in the archives of the Jinyiwei, the largest spy agency in the Ming Dynasty?

"Who are you?" Shen Xi said in a terrifying manner. It is impossible for ordinary people to know that he is a descendant of Shen Wansan. From the beginning, the gentleman named "Shi" handed over ten precious and transparent glass cups to his hands. However, he was attracted by the huge interests and thought to himself that he was just a needle-threading thread, and there would be no big deal. How could he know that he was still wrong? He was outrageously wrong. In the end, the trouble came to him.

"My surname is Zhu, and my name is Youjian." Zhu Yinglong said with a stern look.

Chen Xi knelt on the ground with a thud. Although his invitation was sent to the Xinwang Mansion, he didn't know whether Xinwang would come. Moreover, Zhu Youjian was wearing casual clothes, and only a few officials might know him. Chen Xi naturally didn't know him anymore. He hurriedly said, "The villain Chen Xi has no idea about Mount Tai, and he doesn't know that the prince is driving. The villain should die. The commission of the two thousand taels of silver is not needed."

Zhu Yinglong felt funny. Did he come to him just to covet his commission and shouted: "Chen Xi, get up for me. I am not looking for you for commissions. I am looking for you because of something else."

"Prince, you said!" Chen Xi felt relieved.

Zhu Yinglong thought to himself that the businessman has been in a low position for thousands of years, which has led to such a low self-depreciation consciousness as now. Think about how glorious Lu Buwei of the Qin Empire was, but since Lu Buwei, the status of merchants has been declining day by day. It is really regrettable. If our ancestors could pay enough attention to the importance of industry and commerce, then the so-called sun-don-set empires in the West would be changed to the sun-set empire. I put a little thought: "I want to buy your Boguzhai..."

As soon as Zhu Yinglong said this, Chen Xi's face turned into a pitiful bitter gourd and said, "Your Majesty, you can't!"

"You hear me finish my words." Zhu Yinglong said unhappily, "I bought your Boguzhai and I will run it by you. I will give you 200,000 taels of silver every year. But you have to do things for me. Do you understand what I cannot do?

There will be no stuffing in the sky. Chen Xi did not understand this truth. However, the annual income of 200,000 taels of silver may not even be taken by Shen Wansan when he was alive. However, there are endless temptations in Chen Xi's eyes. The 200,000 taels of silver he earns every year is a big deal. Apart from the silver that is turned over in the store, he really doesn't have much money. 200,000 is enough for him to open Boguzhai for ten years. If he is not moved, then there will be ghosts. The royal princes secretly do business and resell smuggling and private salt. The court also turns a blind eye. Although the risks are a little greater, King Xin is still the younger brother who is long alive today. It is better to take a gamble and surrender to the big tree of King Xin to enjoy the cool.

"Prince, the villain agreed." Chen Xi said the decision, as if he had moved the huge rock pressed on his chest.

"Okay, Manager Chen, you will be my king's member from now on. A hundred thousand taels are enough to buy your Boguzhai?" Zhu Yinglong also breathed a sigh of relief and said happily.

"Enough, enough..." Chen Xi also said happily, "One hundred thousand taels is enough to buy two Boguzhai, why isn't it enough? It seems that his move is right.

Zhu Yinglong now left the silver notes and took away the land deeds of Boguzhai, the house deeds and the employment agreement that was almost considered a contract for selling his body. Chen Xi confusedly signed the peace agreement that sold his body to work for Zhu Yinglong, although the reward was so scary.
