Start by scolding the empress

Chapter 73 The first day in the city

Hearing what Chen Yi said, General Zhang felt that the blood that had been deposited in his heart for a long time was revived.

Someone can understand them, appreciate them, and use their own strength to help them. This recognition makes Zhang Xiangjun suddenly feel that everything he has suffered before is worth it.

It seems that they have regained the unshirkable belief at the moment when they first put on the military uniform. As long as there is one person who needs their protection, they will never take a step back. This is the dignity of soldiers.

Although Chen Yi didn't know what General Zhang had imagined.

But looking at General Zhang so excited, even said that he was so moved that he couldn't express it.

In a trance, Chen Yi had a glimmer of understanding.

These evocative and admirable soldiers have suffered so much wronged that they have not even received the respect and attention they deserve.

At this time, Chen Yi missed his original world unparalleled.

It turns out that such a comparison with Chen Yi's original reality is so good, everyone is equal, the country is peaceful and the people are safe, it is so beautiful and rare.

Chen Yi may have lived in it before, and he didn't have such a deep understanding.

But at this moment, such an ordinary sentence from myself made the general who had experienced vicissitudes of life opposite him burst into tears.

Chen Yi suddenly felt a little sore in his heart. In the original world, everyone was willing to discover and praise the loveliness of these soldiers and the greatness of selfless dedication.

In this era of starvation and wars, who has the mood to pay attention to others, to praise others, and to affirm the efforts of others?

Chen Yi took a deep breath, and suddenly felt that coming here was not just a joke.

He came with responsibility, or in other words, with hope.

At this time, Chen Yi made up his mind. Although it is not the original world, here he has the opportunity to recreate the original world.

Isn't that enough?

Chen Yi smiled again, and patted General Zhang on the shoulder.

"Ping An, let's work together to create a truly stable and prosperous country, so that the people can see the efforts and dedication of the soldiers from their busy lives."

General Zhang opened his mouth, only to realize that he was speechless at this time, so he could only nod fiercely.

That's how the matter came to an end.

Early the next morning, Chen Yi went to the street with two guards.

They didn't keep a low profile when they came this time, so naturally, it's not surprising that other people knew their identities. Chen Yi didn't think about acting low-key.

With two guards, they asked about the price of grain and checked the quality of grain in one grain store after another.

Turning a blind eye to the little tail following behind him.

After a day of shopping like this, Chen Yi had a rough idea of ​​the prices and quality of basically all the grains on the market.

The tails behind also followed for a day, and they went back to tell their masters one after another at night.

These grain merchants have doubts in their hearts, and at the same time they are very jealous of Chen Yi and the others. They have acted in a high-profile way along the way, and coupled with the affairs of the court, they are not completely airtight.

So these grain merchants knew exactly how much the empress gave to buy grain. They thought that General Zhang and the others would buy grain in the imperial capital, so they didn't take them to heart at all.

But a letter came from the imperial capital saying that Chen Yi and his party did not buy any grain and grass, so these merchants had some thoughts in their hearts.

It is precisely because of this that people are arranged to follow up.

It's not that they are greedy for the money in Chen Yi's hands and the money given by the empress, they don't pay attention to it.

The monthly salary given to his subordinates was more than the 500 taels a month. What they really paid attention to was Chen Yi, who was unfathomable, or would often do shocking things.

After Chen Yi came, he looked around at the price of the grain, and he was not in a hurry to leave.

This strange behavior will naturally make grain merchants vigilant.

You must know that the previous Imperial Bank, this idea was thought up by Chen Yi, although at that time it was mainly aimed at the clan, it did not have no influence on businessmen like them.

What Chen Yi wanted was this kind of effect, that is, to make them be very vigilant against themselves, but Chen Yi never thought that his influence here would be so great. Chen Yi knew it himself, but he didn't expect so much attention.

However, he didn't take it to heart. Anyway, the decision is finalized. In the current situation, it must be done if it can't be done. You can't just leave empty-handed.

So on the second day of staying here, Chen Yi took two guards out again.

This time, instead of going to the grain store, he went to visit the owner of a well-known local grain merchant. The first person Chen Yi went to was Xu Caishen, who had the most grain in his hand.

This God of Wealth is not called casually. This name can be said to have been passed down from his ancestors. His real name is Xu Wenjie, which is worthy of his name.

The family is well-run and well-mannered, but by the fourth generation, it has gradually gone downhill, and it does not have the glory of its ancestors. It can only be said that it has just maintained this reputation.

The one in his ancestors who was called God of Wealth was his grandfather. At that time, he was really rich and famous, and he was a celebrity that even the emperor knew, so he was really kind and generous.

When the first emperor came to power, he helped the first emperor a lot.

In the current generation, although it is still developing well, it lacks the support from the imperial court, so naturally it is not as good as before. On the surface, it is the largest businessman here.

But his deadly enemy and him are no different.

To be honest, it can be called the number one, and it is also because of the reputation passed down from the ancestors that it overwhelms the opponent.

And this person's deadly enemy is not simple, his name is Zhang Hengrui.

The power behind the Zhang family is naturally backed by the royal family. Behind this rival is the descendant of the current Concubine Zhang. This Concubine Zhang is a small concubine in the former Queen's Palace.

Because she was good at protecting herself wisely and didn't participate in palace fights, she was allowed to save her life in the end until the Empress ascended the throne.

Naturally, she was classified as a concubine and is still being raised in the palace. This family is run by the children of the concubine's brother's family. Now that the concubine is still there, there are naturally people to support her.

So the Zhang family took advantage of this momentum and directly became the second largest grain merchant.

If Xu Caishen's family hadn't had the plaque bestowed by the late emperor, it might not be able to gain a foothold in Daoxiang City and maintain its previous glory.

After Chen Yilai, he investigated everything clearly, so he came to the door specially today.
