Chapter 506

Wucheng Wang Ji Zhengyi is of the same generation as the current Emperor Ji Siyuan's father, Emperor Ji Zhengde, and is Ji Zhengde's cousin.

This man Jiang Chuan has some impressions. When he entered the capital, the courtiers went to the Chaoyang Gate to greet him. At that time, Ji Zhengyi was kind and kind, and his appearance of being neither humble nor overbearing left an impression on him.

Later, Jiang Chuan heard news about this person from time to time. It is said that because this person is kind, good at communication, and has noble virtues, he has won the reputation of a virtuous king.

Jiang Chuan was also interested in this person at the time, and after he asked Heibingtai to investigate, he concluded that this person was a Buddhist master who seemed to have no desires or desires and no harm, so he put him aside up.

But I didn't expect to hear this name again this time.

"Ji Zhengyi? Is this a virtuous king?" Jiang Chuan sat on a chair, tapping his fingers rhythmically on the table.

Seeing Jiang Chuan like this, Chen Zhaojun knew that His Highness still had some doubts about this matter.

"Your Highness, I can assure you that this news is absolutely true. And judging from the current details, this Ji Zhengyi is absolutely inseparable from this matter."

Chen Zhaojun said in a deep voice.

"This king is not questioning your ability to handle affairs. There are too many people in the world with human faces and animal hearts, and there is no shortage of Ji Zhengyi. This king is thinking, what is the motive of this Ji Zhengyi? Is it for himself? Or is there someone else? Authorization?"

Jiang Chuan stopped tapping on the table, looked at Chen Zhaojun and said.

"What does your Highness mean?" Chen Zhaojun asked.

"Go, check it out, no matter who is involved. I will give you three days, no matter what means, what the king wants is a clear result." Jiang Chuan got up, walked to the window and opened the west window , Looking at the tall ginkgo tree in the yard outside, said faintly.

……

Jiang Chuan didn't take this so-called virtuous king seriously.

These people are clowns, not worth mentioning.With his current strength and reputation, these people have no resistance at all.

In the past, Jiang Chuan might still have some scruples about his reputation, but now he doesn't have such thoughts at all.

Things have gone through a lot, and many things have been seen through, and I am no longer immature as before.

His current style is to be gentle to the common people, but simple and rude to these powerful officials is fine.

These people are cheap, rushing to leave and dragging backwards, it will be fine to clean up after a while.

……

"I'm sorry, guest officer, according to the king's order, our store only accepts the newly issued French currency, and we don't accept your silver. You should go to the bank to exchange it into legal currency before paying the bill."

"Hey! Do you do business like this? I'm talking about real gold and silver. How can I ask for a pile of waste paper instead of real money? I just ask, do you accept it or not? If you don't accept it, I will pay it back. It's over!"

"Crack!" A loud ear scrape sounded.

"Guest officer, did you see the sign on our wall when you entered the door? Please speak in a civilized manner, this is the rule of our shop!"

"Dare to hit me? Come on, tear down this dilapidated shop!"

Then, there was a burst of crackling, the sound of people falling to the ground and various screams suddenly sounded.

"Guest officer, please find out if you can afford it before you make trouble next time, so as not to cause trouble for everyone." A female voice with a slightly weird Zhongzhou accent floated down from the second floor.

Lying on the ground with his hands covering his cheeks, the fat man with a bloody mouth was lying on the ground, with an expression of anger and shock on his face.

An expression that wants to speak harshly but is not sure about the background of the other party is really aggrieved.

A good-natured person next to him stepped forward and reminded: "My lord, this one is really right. This place is really not something you can afford. If you are smart, pay the bill and leave quickly, lest you end up unable to leave even if you want to. "

The fat man was dumbfounded, and the troublemaker muttered a few more words in a low voice. The fat man's face suddenly changed, and his face turned pale with fright.

Looking at the pile of silver in front of her eyes, Maudai sighed and said, "Xiaolu, how many is this today?"

"The shopkeeper is already the fifth one. These people are really strange. Originally, they only need to exchange for legal currency to pay the bill, but they insist on being cleaned up at the end and paying several times more money before they are willing to leave. They are all donkeys."

A young woman in a green gauze dress is smiling as she counts the silver on the table.

"Okay, Xiaolu, you will take two people and bring 1 taels of silver to the bank to exchange for French currency. In addition, put up a few more notices, stating that all payments in this store must be made in French currency. If you pay in silver, you will need three times." Only then."

Maud thought for a while and ordered.

Although Heaven and Earth Restaurant has not been open for a long time, its current business can definitely be regarded as one of the best restaurants in the capital. It is almost full of guests every day, and the guests who come and go are either rich or expensive.

Since Jiangchuan began to issue legal currency and reform the currency system, the heaven and earth, as the property of the palace, naturally have to give full support.

The most direct way is to refuse to accept cash, including banknotes and gold leaves.

If you want to use these to checkout, you have to pay several times more, and the extra money is considered to be the handling fee for going to the bank to exchange legal currency in heaven and earth.

Some people must be unhappy at first, but the background of heaven and earth is there, and no one can afford it.

Those who dare to make trouble will be dealt with directly, and in the end they will have to pay several times more money to get out after being beaten.

Although the business has been greatly affected in this way, Jiang Chuan doesn't care, and others naturally don't care.

But heaven and earth can do this, but other shops cannot.

Hua Furong, a well-known clothing store in the capital, is a store specializing in the sale of custom-made high-end women's clothing. It is located on the most prosperous Lion Street in the capital.

That's right, it's on the same street as Bank of China's headquarters, and it's only about two hundred steps away.

As mentioned earlier, those who can open a store here are people with a deep background, and ordinary people can't get a store here.

This Hua Furong is naturally no exception, and it is said that the background of the owner behind it is as deep as the sea.

This Hua Furong's women's clothing is very popular among the women's family members of the wealthy families in the capital. The material is good, the style is novel, and the workmanship is extremely meticulous.

The status of Hua Furong's women's clothing in Beijing and even Zhongzhou is similar to that of Chanel, Gucci, and Louis Vuitton in later generations.

Hua Furong's storefront is very large, three times the size of an ordinary storefront.

Two young women who appeared to be the daughters of wealthy families walked into Hua Furong's store, walked around the store and picked out some clothes.

The female clerk in the store wrapped up the clothes attentively, and led the two female relatives to the cash register to pay the bill.

"Two ladies, the total is 230 four taels of silver." The shopkeeper behind the counter smiled broadly.

The slightly older female relative signaled a maid following behind to pay, but another younger woman said, "Master, the imperial court now enforces legal currency and prohibits the circulation of gold and silver. Do you still accept it in this shop? But there is no legal currency to exchange."

"Please rest assured, the two ladies, our store will remain as usual. There is no reason in this world not to accept gold and silver and waste paper." The shopkeeper still smiled and said, looking reassured.
