Sun Chengzong took a sip of tea, and the warm tea entered his belly, and he suddenly became more energetic.

Then, some memories seemed to emerge in his mind.

But... sitting here at this moment, Sun Chengzong felt that the past had lasted for thousands of years.

Is this the Qingpingfang that was the same as before?

After drinking all the tea, I passed the account as usual, but when asked about the money for the tea, Sun Chengzong was stunned for a moment.

"How many?" Sun Chengzong seemed surprised.

The guy said gently: "You have nine entourages, ordered nine cups of tea, some pastries, a total of sixty-five cents."

Sun Chengzong was really stunned.

However, it is understandable that he has been losing his composure today. Before he left the capital two years ago, he did not have visitors in the capital.

A tea shop like this is impossible without a hundred cents of money. Why did you turn around and the price even drop?

Isn’t it said that the prices in Beijing are higher?

"Why, are there anything unsatisfactory about the guest?" The guy asked patiently. He was used to such a scene. Many customers couldn't help but calculate it carefully when checking out. Moreover, he found that the more nobles and rich people he brought, they liked to do this, even if they had a penny, they would have to be very careful.

Sun Chengzong couldn't help but say, "It's shameful to say that I haven't been in the capital for a long time, so I don't know how much the price in the capital is. The price of your tea shop is low and fair."

As he said that, he ordered the old servant to pay.

The guy smiled: "You are so happy. You are the first to say that we are fair in the tea shop. In fact, everyone knows it in their hearts, but it just doesn't say it. Speaking of which, the price here is indeed low, but it is not that we are doing business at a loss."

In fact, the children of military households have the benefits of children of military households. After all, they have grown up in the capital since childhood. They are knowledgeable and talkative. The gang continued: "One of this is because Qingpingfang has a lot of customers, and in addition to merchants, they come to buy them. These people have more or less family resources, so naturally, they are willing to come to the tea shop to drink tea, unlike in some markets. It looks like there are many people, but there are very few who are willing to drink tea."

"Our tea shops are almost full from morning to night. It's raining today. If it clears up, the business will be better than this. There is more traffic in customers, and even if the door is opened to do business, it will be beneficial. Each customer earns ten cents per person, and ten customers a day will only earn a hundred cents. But if a customer earns only three cents, if a hundred guests come, it will be three hundred cents."

When Sun Chengzong heard this... he suddenly laughed. Unexpectedly, a guy understood even better than him!

He nodded in praise and said, "This makes sense."

At this time, the guy said again: "Apart from that, there are actually a few new tea shops here. Our boss dare not raise the price."

Sun Chengzong laughed again. He had never done business before, but this was all human nature.

The guy immediately lowered his voice: "Actually, the main thing is to do business here... The cost is low. Open a tea shop in other places. God knows what kind of people will come to the door. Today, I respect hundreds of people, and tomorrow I will ask for money. There are too many people who are fighting for autumn wind. Our Qingpingfang is different. The only thing that talks in Qingpingfang is the Jinyiwei Hundred Household Office and the Inspection Department. They have to collect the money, but they can clearly mark the price and only charge one portion of the money, and no one will invade it again."

"At first, everyone didn't believe it. When this shop was opened, I realized that the Jinyi lieutenants here were the most rules. Zhang Baihu said one sentence here, worth ten thousand words. Don't everyone say that in the Ming Dynasty, there is a nine thousand in the emperor? But in Qingpingfang, Zhang Baihu is the nine thousand in here. This tea shop is safe to do business. At the beginning of the month, you can roughly calculate the cost of the whole month, so the price is set to be lower. If you attract more customers, you will never lose money."

Nine thousand years old...

When Sun Chengzong heard this name, he was silent.

He couldn't help but wonder, why is there a hundred households named Zhang here?

Is it so powerful that only one Jinyiwei hundred households?

After Sun Chengzong passed the account, he was full of thoughts, so he came out of the tea shop and started walking.

At this time, the sky cleared a little, and the streets were even more lively. The shops here were all planned, and they were all sold along the shape of a field. There were no east and west markets. Some merchants placed the goods in front of the door and took up space to make it congested. Sun Chengzong had actually seen many congestions in this market.

The more the market is, the more chaotic it is. After all, if you can occupy land in front of the door, it is actually beneficial for merchants to put on some things.

But in East and West City, no one will restrain him.

But here, everyone is very conscious that this may... be the effect of the Baihu.

"Master...want to take a break here?"

"No." Sun Chengzong said: "Go to Dian Mao as soon as possible. Your Majesty has been waiting for a long time."

When Sun Chengzong walked out of Qingpingfang, he found that he seemed to have walked back to hell from the earth.

The streets began to get muddy again, even close to Qingpingfang. Because there were many people going to enter and exit Qingpingfang,... it gave many people to use their skills.

For the thugs, the abortion is a "fat sheep". There are no people there and there are money on them. It's simply better.

Who is Sun Chengzong? You can see all kinds of people at a glance.

So he whispered to the people around him: "Everyone should be careful, there are many sluts here."

The entourages were naturally alert.

The old servant couldn't help but say, "How did the master know?"

Sun Chengzong said: "Those rascals dare not cause trouble in Qingpingfang, this is a good place to start."

"Master, Qingpingfang has not seen each other for two years, it is indeed a good place, it is really eye-opening."

Sun Chengzong smiled bitterly in his heart, yes, he is the most powerful minister, even if he resigns from office, he is still an imperial teacher. Not to mention his impression, the old servant he is with is an ordinary person. In the eyes of the old servant, Qingpingfang is the place where he truly lives.

I'm afraid of comparison in everything.

In fact, after passing through Qingpingfang, it is a relatively prosperous inner city. Whether it is the road or other aspects, it is much better than the dirty outer city.

But after seeing Qingpingfang, Sun Chengzong's impression of this place was still very bad. He went all the way, and there was no order, and there was a mixture of people of all kinds, without rules, and no one managed the road...

Sun Chengzong almost pinched his nose and stepped on mud and water, and finally arrived at the Ministry of Personnel.

He was a special order from the emperor. After returning to Beijing, he needed to go to the Ministry of Personnel to click Mao as soon as possible.

In this department of the Ministry of Personnel, after a while, the Ministry of Personnel who had entered the palace to report, soon welcomed a eunuch, who was Wei Zhongxian, who came in person.

Wei Zhongxian smiled and met Sun Chengzong, and then saluted Sun Chengzong intimately: "Mr. Sun, don't be fine."

Sun Chengzong also smiled and said, "I am still in good health, I'm sorry for Eunuch Wei."

Wei Zhongxian said, "Your Majesty is listening to lectures at the Wenhua Palace at the lecture of all officials. When he heard that Mr. Sun was in Beijing, we volunteered to invite Mr. Sun."

Sun Chengzong smiled again and said, "Have Your Majesty been so studious in the past two years?"

The so-called teaching at the imperial lecture is actually to invite Hanlin officials to give lectures to Emperor Tianqi.

However, Sun Chengzong knew very well about Emperor Tianqi. Since he went to Liaodong and resigned, such lectures have been almost put on hold, and Emperor Tianqi doesn't like to listen to these.

How could he know that as soon as he came to Beijing, Emperor Tianqi immediately organized a lecture. Isn’t this obvious... to behave?

Wei Zhongxian was a little embarrassed, but just smiled, meaning, you know.

Sun Chengzong only shook his head: "Okay, then I'm going too."

Wei Zhongxian nodded: "Your Majesty also means this. Mr. Sun, should you change your clothes..."

"No need to change it." Sun Chengzong said: "I have changed one thing, and I am a little dirty. However, I don't have to be as elegant as a hall of elegance, but I don't have to wear rich clothes and wear in my heart."

Wei Zhongxian was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he nodded.

As he entered the palace, he had to walk. Sun Chengzong walked slowly with his hands behind his back. Looking at the countless palaces in the Forbidden City, he was both familiar and unfamiliar, and couldn't help but feel infinite emotion in his heart.

Wei Zhongxian was very kind. In fact, Wei Zhongxian and Sun Chengzong had never dealt with each other, but on the surface, they had always had a good relationship and even didn't know about it, they thought they were friends.

So the two of them couldn't help chatting a few times on the road, talking about the recent past two years. Of course, this kind of conversation often stops when it comes to the point and never goes deeper. They have a natural tacit understanding between them.

At this time, Sun Chengzong suddenly said, "I heard... a hundred households with the surname Zhang appeared in Beijing recently?"

Sun Chengzong said while looking at Wei Zhongxian with a smile.

Wei Zhongxian's face suddenly became embarrassed and said, "Ah... there is such a person."

Then... there was no sound again.

Obviously, Wei Zhongxian didn't want to continue talking.

In fact... I heard that it was the hundred households of Jinyiwei, Sun Chengzong's first thought was that this person should be Wei Zhongxian's confidant. Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian actually recruited such talents.

But when he saw Wei Zhongxian's attitude, Sun Chengzong felt even more suspicious.

Why do you look at it? It seems that you are not very good at dealing with it.

In this case... Sun Chengzong was excited.

He was still worried just now, but now he is walking with wind.

Fortunately, Wei Zhongxian is also a master, and he is skilled in archery and horses, but he can catch up with him.

Wei Zhongxian's mind was also very simple. The man surnamed Sun was indeed a grandson. He came to the capital and deliberately mentioned that little brat Zhang Jingyi, who was deliberately trying to embarrass us.

They each had their own thoughts and soon walked to Wenhua Palace.

Here... Emperor Tianqi smiled with a direct smile, like a good baby, listening carefully to the lecturers of the lecturers in the lectures to teach the ways of benevolence and righteousness, but his eyes glanced out of the hall from time to time, as if he was looking forward to something.
