It was the old man's intention to summon Zhang Shan to Beijing.
Dozens of monks were killed and temple properties were seized, which involved not only a few temples and monks, but also those big families who had their fields linked to temples and were tax-free.
Zhang Shan was the prefect in Hangzhou. He learned the lesson he had learned in Fuzhou and acted mercilessly as soon as he took office. The temple monks in the south of the Yangtze River were more shrewd than other places. In addition to fields, population, and incense money, they also worked with businessmen.
, local wealthy families are doing business together.
There was a street-like storefront purchased by a joint venture, a fleet of boats on the canal, a rice noodle shop, a grain and oil shop, and even a flying ticket bank. When these properties fell into Zhang Shan's hands, they were all confiscated.
Such an approach naturally aroused dissatisfaction, and some ministers from the south of the Yangtze River began to complain.
"Third Master, the Zhejiang Guild Hall has arrived!"
In the crowded market, Fu Rang, dressed in casual clothes, said to Zhu Yunxi in a sedan chair.
Zhu Yunxi lifted up a corner of the sedan chair, and the bustling scene of the summer capital came into view. The busy government affairs for many days had made him feel tired, and the beautiful scenery in front of him suddenly made the pressure in his heart disappear.
"Go to Qingchun Tower!" Zhu Yunxi said lightly and lowered the curtains of the sedan chair.
The Zhejiang Guild Hall covers an area of about four acres and is divided into two parts separated by a road. In the front are inns where people from Zhejiang in Beijing stay, and in the back are various teahouses, restaurants, and wine shops.
Due to the prosperity of Zhejiang and the large number of officials at court, the business was very prosperous. Qingchunlou is the leader in Zhejiang cuisine in the capital. It is said that even the waiters who cut Dun'er were brought from Zhejiang.

At this time, just after dinner, there were not many customers in the restaurant. Zhu Yunxi's sedan had just settled outside the restaurant, and a well-dressed waiter and a waiter with a pure white towel on his shoulders hurriedly greeted him.
.
Although the sedan outside is inconspicuous, the curtains on the sedan are made of fine dyed Songjiang cloth. The four bearers have steady legs and broad shoulders. At first glance, they are Lianjiazi.
Looking at the few entourages leading the way in front of the sedan, the Tibetan capital cannot hide their rich and well-informed demeanor. Although these people are dressed inconspicuously, as long as they put on some good clothes, they are the master.
.
Then, a young man dressed as a scholar came down from the sedan chair. Although he was smiling, his gestures were full of nobility.
The most indispensable thing in the capital is the princes and nobles. Maybe this is the son or young prince of a wealthy family.
The headmaster of Qingchun Tower did not dare to neglect, and jogged two steps far away. First, he turned sideways and bowed slightly to give way to the direction of the noble young master. Then he clasped his fists and said with a smile, "This guest, please come in!"
Zhu Yunxi took a look at the exquisite surroundings. This street and the surrounding buildings are all in the typical Zhejiang style, calm and refined, low-key and exquisite, and have a unique charm.
"Second floor, private room!" Fu Rang said to the head of the hall with a bluffing face.
"Please come in!" The waiter still bowed, turned around and glared at the waiter, "Hurry up and lead the way!"
Zhu Yunxi walked in the room, with guards on both sides, stepping on the restaurant's floor with waterproof and oil-proof wax, and slowly went upstairs.
"Tianzihao elegant room, VIP..."
"What are you talking about? Go aside!" Before the guy could finish his voice, Fu Rang pushed him away.
Afterwards, several guarding door gods stood outside the door. Fu Rang opened the door first and had a look before inviting Zhu Yunxi in.
The private room is very large, with a floor height of almost one foot. Standing at the window, you can just see the outer city walls of Yingtian Mansion, as well as the busy docks and canals.
The merchant ships on the canal are like racing cars in later generations. Under the command of people, they are slowly docking one by one. Countless workers on the dock are as busy as ants. The cars and horses are moving diligently, and the goods are piled up.
Since the post was converted into mail, the original post outside the capital has become even busier. The post was originally next to the canal, and endless warehouses were built along the canal to store goods.
With these warehouses and the care of officials, merchants traveling to and from the capital no longer have to endure exploitation by the Japanese, nor do they have to worry about the storage of goods, let alone the safety of the goods.
This means that the warehouses near the wharf are never enough. In addition to the government warehouses, a little further back, many people have also turned their homes into warehouses and a place for businessmen. Government officials eat
Meat, they followed the soup. The logistics industry has begun to show its signs in the Ming Dynasty.
"Not bad!" Zhu Yunxi praised, not knowing whether he was talking about the scene outside the window or the environment of the restaurant.
Zhu Yunxi was the only one who sat down at such a large table. The waiter personally poured the best West Lake Longjing tea, leaned over and asked, "My guest, what do you want to use?"
"What are your specialty dishes? Pick something light!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
The waiter stood up straight and opened his mouth like he was singing, "If you like something light, the fried spring bamboo shoots are the best this season. There are also three shredded razor clams, Longjing shrimps, and West Lake water shield soup. If you like fish, little
The West Lake vinegar fish served in the store is one of the best in Beijing. The master chef and the live fish are all from Hangzhou, so you are guaranteed to be satisfied!"
After saying that, he smiled again, lowered his head and said, "I wonder if this is the first time for our distinguished guests to eat our Zhejiang cuisine. Zhejiang cuisine may look heavy in color, but it actually tastes fresh when you eat it!"
Zhu Yunxi gently shook the folding fan, "Okay, that's all, come up quickly!"
"Okay!" the waiter agreed with a smile, carrying the teapot and walking out, running up the stairs while singing, "Tianzihao Yajian, four items on the dried fruit plate, four items on the fresh fruit plate, four items on the dessert,
Wait first!"
Everyone in the restaurant, from the shopkeeper to the waiters, are all sharp-tongued. Their words are not only fast but also rhythmic. They sound like singing, which is particularly pleasant to the ear.
In this era, doing business is a craft, and being a clerk is even more craft. Not everyone can be a clerk. The shopkeeper must first look at the appearance of the junior and whether he is smart or not. Then he will be an apprentice for three years to hone his character.
.Those who are slightly evil-minded and those who cannot bear the hardship will not be left behind.
There are more rules in the kitchen: three years as an apprentice, three years as a side dish, three years as a chopping block, and ten years before you can take over the cooking duties. And often, once you do it, it lasts a lifetime.
Food is something that comes into the mouth, and the most taboo thing is uncleanness. The most taboo thing is that the cooks and waiters at home are not caring. An old shop has been operating for decades, relying on caution and good craftsmanship, and it has gained a golden brand.
Business people earn hard-earned money from business, not money that is unconscionable.
"Eating here is much more interesting than in the palace!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.
However, no one responded to his words. Only Wang Shai smiled, and the other guards still looked around with piercing eyes.
"We're out of the palace, relax a little, don't be so tense!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip of tea, "Otherwise, I won't be able to enjoy this meal!" He said, smiling again, "This tea is good, better than in the palace.
So good!”
"What do you think, Your Highness?" Wang Sha came over and said with a smile, "Then when the servants go back, they tell the monks and supervisors to let them go and buy it!"
"Don't bother, it's just that I don't think it tastes good until I've tasted it. I'll just buy some when I go back later." Zhu Yunxi drank tea and said with a smile.
If he really opened his mouth to let people in the palace buy it, it would be a big deal.
At this time, the waiter of the restaurant outside the door came in carrying another lively fresh fish.
"Dear guest, look!" The fresh fish couldn't help twisting and struggling in the hands of the waiter. The waiter smiled and said, "This is grass carp brought from the West Lake. Look at the color and the scales. It's already in the clear water.
After being hungry for two days, I vomited the earthy smell. This fish weighs exactly one pound. After you take a look at it, the little one will be sent to the kitchen!"
Zhu Yunxi found it more and more interesting and said with a smile, "Hurry up and do it, I'm already hungry!"
"Wait a minute!" The waiter exited facing Zhu Yunxi, and said as he walked, "Try the snacks first. The shop invites a master from Suzhou to make them. They use fine frosting sugar."
Zhu Yunxi picked up a piece, which was soft and fragrant in the mouth, and said with a smile to Wang, "This plate of snacks, give everyone a few pieces to cushion their stomachs!"
Wang Shai agreed with a low eyebrow and went out with the snacks to distribute. The guards were like pigs eating ginseng fruits, stuffing them into their mouths and swallowing them without even chewing.
"What a waste of natural resources!" Zhu Yunxi shook his head and scolded with a smile, but couldn't help but eat it without haste.
While eating, he stood by the window again and looked at the scene outside the window.
"Today I know what it means to steal half a day's leisure!" Zhu Yunxu said in his heart, "No wonder many emperors don't like to stay in the palace and want to go out to play. How can you not love such beautiful scenery and style!"
At this time, Fu Rang said outside the door, "Third Master, Zhang Shan is here!"
