The back door of my house can last until the end of the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 21 Going to Qin Xianglou at Night
The sun made another circle in the sky, Sun Jie dressed neatly, and took a black square scarf, and went to Qinxianglou.

The ancients attached great importance to hats and crowns. When a man becomes an adult, he is called a crown, that is to say, he must wear a crown after he becomes an adult.

It is considered impolite to attend formal occasions without wearing a crown.

Ordinary people, most of them wrap their hair in a bun with Putou, which has been shown to wear a crown.

In the streets and alleys of the Ming Dynasty, all adult men must wear crowns and hats on their heads, and even ordinary people must wear Putou.

In the shoddy modern film and television dramas, there are almost no scenes of going out with a bun on top.

There are three categories of crowns: crowns, hats, and scarves.During the Han and Tang Dynasties, these things had strict rules corresponding to the corresponding classes. Later, the gentry withdrew from the stage of history, and the number of poor families began to increase, and these rules gradually disappeared.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang stipulated that the Sifang Pingding scarf should be used as a special hat for Confucian scholars, and the sustainable time is not long. From the middle of Ming Dynasty, there are not many restrictions.

Ordinary people can also wear square scarves, but because the price is relatively expensive, not many people wear them.

The square scarf on Sun Jie's head was of such a tight texture that the inside could not be seen.Even if you can see the inside, it doesn't matter. Since I was able to come to Ming Dynasty, except for the first time, I will wear a wig for the next few times.

Qinxiang Building is located in the east of the city, not far from Nanmen Street.

This is a four-story wooden building, and it is the most luxurious restaurant in Xi'an Fucheng.

It is really not easy to build a four-story wooden building in this era.

Sun Jie brought Chen Hu downstairs, only to find that the place had already been taken over by Sun Chuanting, and those standing outside were basically Sun Chuanting's personal soldiers.

After the proper Hongmen Banquet, Sun Jie handed over the invitation card in his hand to the soldier who guarded the gate, and led him to the top of the building.

Walking on the wooden stairs, the stairs creaked.

In order to prevent fire, there are no candles or lanterns to illuminate the stairwell.

Only one soldier walked cautiously in front of Sun Jie, holding a lantern.

Came to the fourth floor and stopped outside a large room.

Under the leadership of the soldiers, Sun Jie walked into the room.

There were a lot of people in the room, most of them were prominent gentry and landlords in the prefectural city of Xi'an.

They sat inside in twos and threes, yelling loudly according to their respective social interactions.

Sun Chuanting hadn't arrived yet, and the scene was a bit noisy.

Sun Jie led Chen Hu and stood in a relatively remote part of the room.

There are no electric lights of the later generations, and there are only some candlesticks in the room, which can only barely illuminate the room. If you are a little far away, you can't see people's faces clearly.

"My lord, there are so many people here. Judging by their clothes, they are all rich. These people are really rich!" Standing behind Sun Jie, Chen Hu whispered.

"Are there few rich people in Xi'an Prefecture? This is an important town in the northwest, so of course there are many rich people! Stop talking and see what's going on!" Sun Jie whispered.

Chen Hu closed his mouth, his eyes kept scanning the people around him, his face was a little more vigilant.

More and more people came, and it didn't take long for the room to look a little bloated.

The noise became louder and louder. From the beginning to the end, Sun Jie just watched quietly.

Few of the people in the room knew him. When they were singing big dramas before, there were many wealthy landlords who knew about Sun Jie, but basically they had never seen what Sun Jie looked like.

Although many of these people went to Honey Pavilion to buy brown sugar for their wives, at that time, Sun Jie had already handed over the things in Honey Pavilion to Wang Bi.

"Boom!"

There were dense footsteps outside, and Sun Chuanting, dressed in civilian clothes, with his hands behind his back, walked into the room under the guard of seven or eight armored soldiers.

The noise in the room disappeared instantly, and there was no sound.

Almost everyone's eyes were on Sun Chuanting, and Sun Chuanting passed through the crowd and came to the main seat.

The guards around him stood on both sides of him, their eyes were like tigers, and they glanced coldly at these people in front of them.

"He is Sun Chuanting? Isn't this the person who came to look for that day? No wonder, no wonder he was able to say those words that day, so he is Sun Chuanting!"

When Sun Chuanting walked through the crowd, Sun Jie recognized him at a glance.

Seeing Sun Chuanting sitting on the main seat, Sun Jie was even more puzzled.

"Then why did he come to my place before?" Staring at Sun Chuanting, he kept guessing.

Sun Chuanting, who was sitting at the top, said, "Last year, the bandit Gao was captured in Zhouzhi Heishuiyu, and the power of the bandits was greatly damaged. If they hadn't established slaves and invaded the bandits, they would have been wiped out in one fell swoop.

Although the arrogance of the bandit soldiers has subsided, there are still remnants of evil.In Heshui, Chengcheng, Qingyang and other places, the Sixth Brigade of the Rebels, Guotianxing, Huntianxing and Datianwang are still in chaos.

The official decided that two months later, he would send out troops to fight, wipe out the remnants of the bandits in one fell swoop, and restore peace to Shaanxi.

Then, use superior forces to attack the Li thieves, Zhang thieves, horse thieves, and Gezuo thieves. "

The Li thief is Li Zicheng, the Zhang thief is Zhang Xianzhong, the horse thief is Laohui Hui Ma Shouying, and the Gezuo thief is the Gezuo Fifth Battalion.

Now these people have become popular, especially Li Zicheng and Zhang Xianzhong, who will take Daming's last breath in the future.

When Sun Chuanting said these words, none of the businessmen present seemed to speak, but just listened quietly.

They already knew Sun Chuanting's purpose today, so they didn't talk so much nonsense.

They just waited quietly for Sun Chuanting's final words.

Sun Chuanting looked around and looked at the people who didn't respond, and raised his voice a lot: "Everyone, I am the governor of Shaanxi, and I have the responsibility of guarding the land. Why desperately?

Dear elders of Sanqin, although I, Sun Boya, are from Jin, Qin and Jin have good relations. I hope you will donate one or two for the sake of the country and the people! "

After the voice fell, the room was still silent.

Sun Chuanting had already expected this scene, he stood up and said with a sneer: "Hehe, if you don't speak, it means you agree.

That being the case, the official is not welcome.All the people present, every family and every household, gave out 500 liang of silver, [-] shi of grain, [-] pieces of cloth, [-] horses, [-] mules, [-] flatbed carts, and [-] catties of iron..."

"hiss!"

Sun Jie gasped, no wonder people in the Xi'an Mansion called Sun Chuanting Sun Yan Wang, he was so cruel, too cruel, ruthless to thieves, and even more ruthless to gentry, no wonder it went to Chongzhen.

These conditions, taken individually, are not considered harsh, but taken together, they are simply unbelievable.

How should I put it, these conditions are very difficult for Sun Jie, who has been in business for a few days, but for these gentry who have been moths for hundreds of years, it is very common.

"Damn, my lord, you are dying!"

Immediately there was a gentry, howled and stood up.

"My lord, you are dying. You are not paying donations. You are dying. You didn't do it!" the gentleman yelled loudly, with a painful expression on his face.

Driven by him, these people at the scene also began to cry, talking about how difficult their family has been in recent years, how many disasters their family has suffered in recent years, and how many people they have to support.

Where would Sun Chuanting care about these things?He slapped the table in front of him with a thunderous sound, instantly silenced the surroundings.

"All of you shut up for me!"

Sun Chuanting was murderous, and said in a cold voice: "Just now you were asked to mention it yourself, but you didn't say anything, but now I have made a request for you, but you want to refute it, what is your intention?
Could it be that the Great Ming Dynasty, the land of the Three Qin Dynasties, and the prefectural city of Xi'an all belong to this official alone?If you can't put down the thieves, will your life be better?

Don't forget that none of the gentry in the counties where Yan'an Mansion was breached by thieves survived.Those thieves don't care if you are a well-educated person or not. They kill people, so why would they care about this?

These soldiers of this officer are all disciples of Sanqin, and they may even know you. If they have no food to eat, the consequences will be dangerous.Have there been few mutinies in recent years? "

The situation at the scene became more and more strange. Sun Chuanting walked back and forth in the hall with his hands behind his back, yelling non-stop.

The gentry and landlords in the hall didn't dare to say anything, although they were very angry, but at this moment, none of them dared to touch Sun Chuanting's bad luck.

"We all know what the adults said, but those things are really too much. Money and food are not bad, and we can still get them together, but we really can't get the mules and horses.

There are a few mules in the fields outside the city, but they are usually used to pull goods. There are a few cows, but they also need to plow the land. As for the horses, there are not many of them. The horse administration is corrupt. After so many years, we really can't get it! "

"Yes, yes, it's not that we don't support it, it's just that the family is so meager that it's hard to survive, so we have to keep some food for living."

"How about this, we will pay for the food and silver, and the rest will be waived!"

"Yes, yes, the latter ones will be spared!"

The gentry present began to bargain.

Sun Chuanting was able to slap the table again, and shouted: "Do you think I am playing house with you? Military and state affairs, how can it be such a joke? I am still discussing with you!"

She scolded fiercely, but the corners of her mouth were slightly raised, revealing a smile that was not noticed by outsiders.

The room fell into a brief silence again, which didn't last long, and several gentry began to test Sun Chuanting's bottom line.

This time, Sun Chuanting was not tough and let go.

Seeing this, everyone started bargaining again.

Well, the scene became lively all of a sudden, Sun Chuanting blushed and had a thick neck, arguing with several representatives of the gentry, spitting all over the place.

Sun Jie, who was standing at the back of the crowd, understood it: "As expected of Sun Chuanting, this move is psychological warfare, and this move is to advance as retreat, so slippery!
First use high pressure to persecute them forcefully, these gentry will definitely refuse, and then forcefully threaten, the gentry is forced by coercion, dare not refuse, but is unwilling, let them fall into a dilemma, then let go a little, let the gentry see hope, and then Push the boat along the current, and go down the slope to the donkey.

This move is really smooth.I am afraid that only 500 taels of silver and [-] stone grains are Sun Chuanting's real purpose, and the others are just for pressurizing!
Sure enough, there is not a single idiot among those who can go down in history!
I'm afraid those gentry also know Sun Chuanting's bottom line. "

After intense bargaining, the content was finally finalized.

Except for silver and food, the rest can be deducted.

The price of 500 taels of silver per family remains the same, but the grain is increased from [-] shi to [-] shi.

This result was just right, just within the tolerance range of the gentry.

After finalizing it, Sun Chuanting hurriedly asked seven or eight accountants who had already prepared to be called to the room.

Immediately register the names of these gentry present, record and verify.

After recording it, Sun Chuanting will take the account book and ask for it one by one.

Those gentlemen who have finished recording, how can they still have the heart to eat?They slipped away one by one, for fear of encountering something again.

In fact, Sun Chuanting did not prepare meals for them.

The number of people in the room kept decreasing, Sun Jie didn't move forward, and finally he was the only one left.

He brought Chen Hu to those accountants.

Sun Chuanting was standing behind these accountants, and he looked at Sun Jie who came over with a smile on his face.

"Didn't expect that!" Sun Chuanting asked with a smile.

"I really didn't think of it. I should have thought of it at the time. My lord is definitely not an ordinary person!" Sun Jie cupped his hands and replied.

Sun Chuanting stroked the beard on his chin and said, "Actually, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect you to dare to come!"

"Since I came to Shaanxi, the Palace of the Prince of Qin has hardly provided me with any help, it just gave me some money in a symbolic sense, which is not enough.

You are a member of Prince Qin's residence. If you come here tonight, aren't you afraid that Prince Qin's residence will blame you in the future?Come here privately, or something like this, don't you have any worries?
I thought you would not come, so I would hand over the invitation to Prince Qin's Mansion.Now that you are here, it proves that you did not hand over the invitation to Prince Qin's Mansion. "Sun Chuanting looked at Sun Jie with great interest.

The shop belongs to Prince Qin's Mansion, so naturally, Sun Jie should also belong to Prince Qin's Mansion.

The people in Prince Qin's Mansion are stingy by nature, how could they ask their subordinates to come over this kind of matter?This time when Sun Jie came, Prince Qin's House definitely didn't know about it. If Prince Qin's House knew about it, would it be okay?
"I'm the owner of Mi Tang Pavilion, so I still have some rights. If the Qin Palace punishes me for this matter, then I have nothing to say.

What adults do is for the country and the people.Although I am a commoner, I also have blood.I don't have any big skills, I can still take out some of my belongings! "Sun Jie straightened his face and looked serious.

Sun Chuanting nodded, feeling more and more that the young man in front of him was not ordinary.

To be able to give flour to the actors in the West Qin troupe, to be able to pay them at half price, to come here in spite of the punishment of the Qin Palace, and to say these words again, as expected, they did not misunderstand the person.

"Aren't you afraid that the Qin Palace will check the accounts? 500 taels of silver and [-] shi of grain, this is not a small amount. How can we cover it up?" Sun Chuanting asked again.

Sun Jie said: "The palace has been passed down for hundreds of years, with a large number of people and complicated things. I will try to find out in a short while. I'm afraid it will not be easy. I have my own way."

Sun Chuanting was taken aback for a moment, and then burst out laughing.

"Hahaha, I didn't expect you to be a frank person!"

Of course, Sun Chuanting could understand the implication of these words. Isn't this just taking advantage of loopholes and undermining the wall?

When Sun Chuanting encountered this kind of thing in the past, he hated it deeply, but now that it happened, he felt that it should be like this!

"Although you are a business traveler, you have extraordinary knowledge and a kind heart. If you meet other people's standards, you may be discovered by the palace.

You are loyal and loyal, and the world is chaotic now. No matter what your status is, anyone who can contribute to the imperial court is a talent.

For food, just leave it alone, and for silver, you can give as much as you can, after all, you are just a small owner of the palace! "
