Da Ming started to ascend the throne

Chapter 59
夜

Silence

In this silent night, there were several bloody killings that made Shanxi merchants fearful.

The eight imperial merchants are the most outstanding representatives of Shanxi merchants. When they died, there was no leader in the group, and nearly 30 suppliers who were closely related to them were wiped out overnight.

Were they killed wrongly?

Of course not wronged, poor people must have something to hate.

These merchants knew that they were supplying Dongyao, and they were willing to cooperate with the eight imperial merchants.

Doing this kind of thing is no different from betraying the country. For many years, the Eastern Captivity has been eyeing Daming.

Not only do they often enter the customs to rob, but they also rob people. The entire Liaodong has been occupied by them. Don't these businessmen know?
If it weren't for them to provide support to Dongyao, Dongyao would not be able to eat enough to eat, so how could he have the strength to fight.

Under the leadership of Qinglong, the Five Hundred Jinyi Guards not only raided the Shanxi merchants, but also killed the generals of the local garrison.

When Qinglong and others stood in front of the supervising army and the chief soldier, their good days came to an end.

It's not that they didn't resist. By the time the soldiers found out, they had already become corpses, and only sporadic fighting had occurred.

The soldiers who dared to fight Qinglong were all the confidantes of the generals in the garrison, but in the dark night, they were all easily killed by Jin Yiwei.

Not all soldiers are as heartless as their superiors. One of the lieutenants, Chen Yuan, is an upright and loyal Ming soldier.

After knowing that the person who came was the commander of Daming Jinyiwei, he led more than 3000 soldiers under his command and bowed down in front of Qinglong.

Although Qinglong is the commander of Jinyiwei, he is here on behalf of the emperor, and many things can be decided directly.

Chen Yuan, of course, became the supreme commander of the Ming garrison.

Since then, Qinglong has received strong support from the local garrison.

Those officials who have colluded with Shanxi merchants are of course not immune.

If they dare to collude with foreign enemies and betray the country, and dare to make money in the country, they should be prepared to be wiped out at any time.

Many officials hadn't woken up from their dreams, but cold embroidered spring knives were wrapped around their necks, and their entire families were killed.

In three days, Qinglong, with the help of Chen Yuan and his troops, wiped out almost all officials and businessmen who had colluded with Dongyu in Zhangjiakou.

50 taels of gold and 300 million taels of silver were confiscated. In addition, there were countless land stores, minerals, etc.

Regarding the rewards for Chen Yuanhe's loyalty to Ming Dynasty soldiers, Qinglong made the decision and directly dispatched 300 million taels of silver to him as military pay.

As a result, these soldiers who had not been paid for a long time fell to their knees with tears streaming down their faces, facing the direction of the capital and shouting long live.

As for the support of the remnants of the rogue bandits, that's also impossible. The head of Shanxi's general surnamed Jiang was taken away by Cao Zhengchun long ago, and the interior is in chaos.

In the local garrison camp, Qinglong and Chen Yuan were discussing the money issue. There was too much money, and if they were transported back to the capital, they would not be at ease on the way.

In the end, Qinglong decided to transport all the gold and silver to Fan's house, and Chen Yuan moved the headquarters of the garrison to Fan's house.

Their main task now is to ensure the safety of the gold and silver, and put aside other things for the time being, and make plans after Qinglong returns to the capital to ask the emperor for instructions.

The bloody storm has passed. After the local people learned that the families that were exterminated were all merchants colluding with Dongyao, people gradually became free from their fear.

Zhangjiakou regained its prosperity again, but many people found that the doors of the shops that belonged to those profiteers were locked, and people talked about it for a while.

"Look at these shops, this one belongs to the Fan family, that one belongs to the Wang family..."

"It's good now. They are all dead. I don't know if the price of food they raised will fall."

……

On a bustling street, a five-story building is particularly eye-catching. Not only is the decoration resplendent and magnificent, but the girls walking in and out of it are even more beautiful.

If someone pays attention, you will find a phenomenon that the customers who come and go here are mainly male.

If you look carefully, you will find that there is a large golden plaque hanging right above the gate of the first-floor building.

There are three large golden characters on the plaque.

"Xiuchun Tower"

This is Zhangjiakou's most famous and top-notch Fengyue place, which is where Chunhong and the others work (Xiuchunlou)

It is worthy of being the place where Shanxi merchants made their fortunes. People come and go, Xiuchun Building is overcrowded, and ordinary people can't fill their stomachs, so of course they don't come here for consumption.

The guests who can come here are either dignitaries or wealthy businessmen and their children.

Faced with such powerful and wealthy customers all day long, the boss of Xiuchunlou will definitely not be an ordinary person, otherwise there would be no scum left by those people.

It's not a dream for a Xiuchun building to earn millions a year. Who makes rich and powerful people like this place?

some days ago

In order to greet other imperial merchants, Fan Yongdou took the eight golden flowers from Xiuchun Tower, and his daily reward was 300 taels of silver.

Don't underestimate 300 taels of silver. Ordinary people can't earn it in half their lives, but they spend it in a day.

"Xiao Chunhong, sister, please go see Mr. Wang, you haven't seen any guests for three days, but they said, 50 taels of silver a day."

"No, didn't I say that, someone will come to pick me up in the next two days, and I will definitely give you money when it falls."

In a large luxurious room, the eldest sister of Xiuchunlou is trying to persuade Chunhong to meet the guests.

But Chunhong said nothing, she was waiting for Qinglong to redeem her.

Three days passed, and the boss was getting impatient, which made him lose a lot of money.

Chunhong was also very anxious. It stands to reason that if the adults hadn't forgotten, they should have come by now.

Hasn't come yet, has he forgotten his promise to Chunhong?
The eldest sister repeatedly tried to persuade her to no avail, so she could only leave angrily.

Then Ma Quan, the owner of Xiuchunlou, brought a young man to Chunhong's room in person. Seeing the boss coming, Chunhong panicked.

Don't look at Ma Quan's not-so-good looks, and he still has some problems with his legs, but this man's methods are not simple.

Chunhong is very aware of the power of the boss. Once a sister was unwilling to see customers, but was thrown downstairs by the boss and died.

Chunhong is a master of piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, and is proficient in singing and dancing.

Although she is not the most beautiful girl in Xiuchun Building, she is the one most named by everyone.

Seeing the boss coming in, Chunhong hurriedly got up and poured him a cup of tea:
"Boss, why are you here, please drink tea."

"Drink tea? Don't you need money to buy tea? Chunhong heard that you haven't seen any guests for three days. Do you know the consequences of doing so?

The item Xiuchun Tower will not keep you in vain. If you don't see me today, I will see you again, otherwise the consequences will be very serious. "

"Prince, you can do whatever you want. I'll go back first. If she doesn't obey, I'll do whatever you want."

After the boss finished speaking, he gave Chunhong a hard look, turned around and walked out of the room.

The prince who just came here is not tall, and almost has a round shape, completely developed horizontally.

After the boss finished speaking and left, he walked up to Chunhong with a playful smile and put his hands on Chunhong's fragrant shoulders.

"Xiao Chunhong, I've heard your name for a long time. I've been waiting for you for three days. I finally meet you today. It's a great honor. I like a girl with character like you."

Chunhong looked at him coldly, and shook off his dirty hands with disgust:

"Master Wang, there are so many girls in Xiuchun Building, why do you insist on pestering Chunhong? Now that I have met her, please go back."
