Bringing Military Supplies to Ming Dynasty

As soon as the news came out, many people flocked to them, especially wealthy businessmen who came to the information desk set up outside Fairy Abode for advice.

The person receiving them is Fairy Abode’s external Shopkeeper Yang Fu. With that three-inch tongue, but everyone who came, he was fooled by him for a long time, and he explained the benefits of the Membership Card.

For example, if you have a Membership Card that is a sign of your identity, you can enjoy higher First class services here and be looked at by others.

With the Membership Card, you can enter the box, or enter the private room on the second floor, and get in touch with more great characters.

With the Membership Card, once a friend comes here to receive it, it is equivalent to having an insignificant face. There is everything you can do here, which will make your friends dazzled and respect you more. Wait.

The important thing is that the money for the Membership Card is not given to Fairy Abode, but it is just stored here first, and consumption will save you the trouble of carrying a lot of silver. More importantly, with a Membership Card, you can also enjoy the benefits of discounts when you consume.

From high to low, there are four types: Platinum Card, Gold Card and Silver Card. This can be bought with money, and there is also the most advanced Paragon Card that cannot be bought with money. With this card, it is completely free when you consume it.

Of course, the identity of a person who can own a Paragon Card is extremely unusual. For example, now, the only person with this card is Yang Chendong, that’s all.

Platinum Card, with a one-time storage of 20,000 silver taels, you can enter Fairy Abode’s second floor private rooms and first floor boxes at will, and enjoy a 20% off preferential treatment when you spend.

Gold card, a one-time storage of 5,000 taels of silver, you can also enter the private room on the second floor and the private room on the first floor of the Divine Immortal Bureau, and enjoy a 10% discount when you spend.

Silver card, a one-time storage of 1000 silver taels, you can enter the box on the first floor, but not on the second floor, and enjoy a 5% discount when you spend.

As for non-members, I’m sorry, you can only enter the lobby on the first floor if you want to enter Fairy Abode, where there are hundreds of tables that can accommodate thousands of people at the same time. But no matter how lively the lobby is, if there is no Membership Card, even if the private rooms on the first floor and the second floor are vacant, they are not allowed to enter. This is the advantage of membership.

All Membership Cards can be consumed by deducting the funds in the card. In other words, as long as you have a Membership Card, you can come to Fairy Abode without a penny, raise your hand after eating and drinking, and hand the Membership Card to the service staff for registration and accounting. Just think about it. Pull the wind.

Of course, Membership Card also has a minimum guarantee limit, that is, when it is less than 10% of the original amount, there will be a reminder to remind you that you must top up again. Take a silver card for example, 10% of 1000 taels is 100 taels. When the balance in the card is less than a hundred taels, a service staff will remind you to recharge and continue using it. At the same time, you can recharge more silver at once. Upgrade your membership level. For example, if a silver card member is charged up to five thousand taels in one sex, it will be upgraded to a gold card member.

Of course, for those who refuse to recharge, once the amount in the card is consumed, the card will be cancelled after three months without money. If you want to do it, you need to apply again , If there is a deficit in the previous card, it also needs to be filled.

After Yang Fu gave a detailed explanation of the situation, many people were moved, especially those wealthy but low-profile businessmen. In Great Ming, the merchants are ranked third, which is worse than the ordinary people of Liangji, which is the so-called Liangjiazi.

People like them have money in their hands, but their social status is not high. How to deal with officials more and improve their social status has become the goal of many of them. Now Fairy Abode has given them such an opportunity. How can these unprofitable businessmen not be tempted?

Businessmen are smart. Because of this, some people have suggested that Fairy Abode’s membership system looks good, but aren’t there that many high-ranking officials and dignitaries who come here to consume? If it is only a businessman, it loses its original meaning.

In this regard, Yang Fu replied with a confident and smiling face, “my lord has already sent gold cards to all officials above the Third Rank in the capital, although it is the kind that has no deposit. Membership Card, but with the benefit of enjoying a 20% off discount, they will definitely come. Not to mention, when the Divine Immortal Bureau opens, even His Imperial Majesty, Empress and many civil and military ministers will appear With this kind of influence, why worry that no officials will enter here. There are also singing, dancing, wine and delicacies that you can’t see outside; the best environment and the most attentive service, how can it not attract people? “

As soon as I heard that even the current His Imperial Majesty would be here when it opened, the merchants suddenly became more confident, and those who paid for the card came one after another.

Now the Ming Dynasty has just experienced the famous “government of propaganda and propaganda.” It can be regarded as a country rich and strong, many businessmen are also rich in funds, but it is simply nothing to do with a Membership Card. If you have money, you can apply for a Platinum Card. If you have less money, you can apply for a gold card. Some people have tentatively applied for a silver card. They have to see if the Divine Immortal Bureau is as good as Yang Fu said. Get a better Membership Card.

In just seven days, the statistics of the first batch of registered members have come out. There are more than 40 Platinum Card Owners, with an amount of more than 800,000 taels; more than 200 gold card holders, with an amount of more than 1,000,000 taels; more than 400 silver card owners, with an amount of more than 400,000 taels.

In just seven days, it actually raised more than two million taels of funds. Once this speed of circling money came out, the entire capital was in an uproar. You know, because of the low taxes in the Ming Dynasty, basically 15 taxes per one (lower than the current ten taxes per one). The other is that the taxes in the Ming Dynasty are not considered as commercial taxes. Commercial taxes are theoretically owned by the emperor’s internal money (private money), but because there is no strict policy, the emperor only relies on Court Eunuch to collect it. So very unstable! For example, Emperor Wanli’s internal money is richer than State Treasury! Emperor Chongzhen is as poor as a dog!

So, the entire Ming Dynasty’s annual tax revenue was only four to five million taels, but Fairy Abode had obtained nearly half of the gold and silver before it opened, which is not surprising.

In the Imperial Palace, Wang Zhen laughed from ear to ear after receiving the report from the Dongchang detective. I was still worried about whether Fairy Abode could bring me enough money, but now it seems that I don’t need to worry at all.

At the moment, Wang Zhen told Dongchang and Embroidered Uniform Guard that no one should harass Fairy Abode in the future. On the contrary, patrols in the vicinity should be strengthened. Once someone is making trouble, they should be arrested immediately. .

As a result, Fairy Abode’s business brings it up a level. No one dares to mess around here, and no one dares to eat free food here. In a good environment, attracting people will only increase. more.

After several days of preparation, the day has finally arrived.

At this time, the capital is in the autumn season, and the weather is cool, neither hot nor cold. On the morning of October 6th, at the junction of Yang Sect and Great Ming gate, there was a lot of crowds and excitement.

It was reported to the current His Imperial Majesty Emperor Yingzong Zhu Qizhen before, so after the early dynasty, this originally fun His Imperial Majesty brought a group of civil and military ministers directly from the imperial city. Coming to Outer City, the target is directed at Fairy Abode.

Different from the usual His Imperial Majesty trip, Zhu Qizhen also brought Empress Qian Surname this time.

This is also specially invited by Yang Chendong. In his words, this is called His Imperial Majesty. It is true to have fun with the people.

Wang Zhen of course strongly supports this. Bound by interests, the greater Fairy Abode’s momentum becomes, the more he will naturally get in the future.

In the Empress palace, Surnamed Qian was a little excited. This is still the rare opportunity for her to travel with the emperor. For this reason, she, who has never been good at dressing up, just went through the boxes and found out a lot of gold and silver jewelry, and then asked the maid to help one after another to try, and finally chose a set of looks that seemed solemn enough, that is Wearing a Dragon Phoenix beaded and emerald crown, wearing a large red sleeved shirt, with a red dress, a red robe dress, a red jacket, and a Dragon Phoenix ornament on the first bun, and a woven gold Dragon Phoenix pattern embroidered on the dress.

Such solemnity is about to catch up with the post-closing attire. Only then did Surnamed Qian walk out of the Imperial Palace with satisfaction, come to the dragon’s lion, and go straight to Fairy Abode with His Imperial Majesty Zhu Qizhen. go with.

His Imperial Majesty travel, safety naturally requires careful consideration. Along the road, the Embroidered Uniform Guard and Dongchang Fanzi have long been full of people. The number of people dispatched has reached thousands, and the streets outside Fairy Abode are full of their silhouettes.

In this regard, Yang Chendong, who has already arrived at Fairy Abode, did not raise the slightest disagreement. Although the appearance of Fanzi prevented many people from getting close to Fairy Abode, this was originally not a place for ordinary people to consume. Besides, it is to have fun with the people. There are too many people here, and safety can’t be taken care of. If something happens, then this sign is completely broken.

The people can’t move forward, which makes Fairy Abode appear to be a lot empty. Here, there is a red carpet that stretches 100 meters long. It is very eye-catching when seen from a distance. This is the arrangement that Yang Chendong made to welcome His Imperial Majesty. He walked the red carpet all the way to Fairy Abode, enjoying the gaze of focal point of ten thousands. The audience was changed from ministers to ordinary people, and it was considered to have fun with the people. .

When the dragon of His Imperial Majesty arrived at the end of the red carpet, Yang Chendong was already waiting here in Tsing Yi.

No official clothes, only Tsing Yi, Entire Court seems to have only Yang Chendong like this. Others are afraid that they will not know his identity. Only this Young Master, no matter how others think of him, he still does what he wants.

“The minister knelt down to welcome His Imperial Majesty, Empress, absolutely years old, please leave me on foot.” Yang Chendong knelt on the red carpet and said in a loud voice.
