Although Ruxian is famous in the capital, in fact, no matter how talented she is, she only learns in Qinglou. When she learns, she treats it as a hobby rather than a main business. She is still quite inferior to the big business of the era. The reason why she can do business so well is because Zhu Xiuchang is controlling the overall situation. The owner behind Yang Ji is this Princess Yongshou.

When she was in Anlu, Mrs. Qian was one of the best merchants in Anlu. After she arrived in the capital, although her power was smaller, her means were still there. Later, after the revival of the Jinyiwei, she grabbed a large part of the Jinyi power. In addition, the old ministers brought by Jiajing from Anlu became more and more powerful, and some networks of relationships were re-established, and business gradually became prosperous. When Yang Chengzu trained troops in the southeast to kill Japanese soldiers and destroy enemy soldiers, Yang Ji began to expand rapidly in the capital and even the entire north.

Yang Ji was involved in the fields of grain, restaurants, inns, mills, groceries, silks, cloths, ready-to-wear, and even jewelry, tea, medicinal materials. The scale advantage of this state-owned commercial organization has gradually shown that private shops are unable to reach in their operations.

In the field of grain, after taking over the four major grain merchants, the grain stores in the capital and northern Zhili have been monopolized by Yang Ji. Businessmen like Fan Chong classified all the shops under his name under Yang Ji and became franchisees.

With the franchise and shareholding model proposed by Yang Chengzu, Yang Ji swept away most of the northern grain merchants with the whale swallowing force. He swallowed up all the large-scale grain merchants. Those who were unwilling to be swallowed were found by the government. Even if they had a backer, they would not dare to take it on. In the end, they either admit defeat or change careers. Those who could persist were difficult to pose a direct threat to Yang Ji.

The most critical factor here is price. The purpose of Yang Ji was established was not simply to make money, but considering integrity. Yang Chengzu had to make food in the first place, not to make money in food, but to ensure that the people do not rebel and keep food in the nine sides.

Originally, the food in the north of the Ming Dynasty was not insufficient to eat. In another time and space, due to the opening of sea trade in the late Ming Dynasty, economic crops were widely planted in Jiangnan, and in the end, grain was transported from the north to the south for sale. Now grain relies on the transportation of Jiangnan. Once the grain transportation is affected, there will be a shortage of grain in the north, which is largely the manipulation of grain merchants and the hoarding of grain by major landlords in the north.

Due to the limitation of information dissemination, some landlords would rather rot or pile the grain into the wild and burn it, but they would not be willing to trade it. Yang Ji was well-informed and had official power. He signed contracts with many landlords in the north to ensure the supply of goods. Compared with the transportation of grain from the south and the north, this has greatly saved transportation costs and losses. With Zhao Jiuxiong's help from the Caogang, the freight costs are also lower. The most important thing is that Yang Ji did not expect to make money from grain.

Whether it is grain from the north or grain transported from the south and the north, after calculating logistics and labor costs, the profit per kilogram of grain was extremely low. For example, the capital, as the capital's capital's capital, had to maintain a situation of flowers and flowers. The capital's grain was sold almost 100 kilograms of grain, and the net profit was only one kilogram of grain. The grain transported to the Jiubian was just a deposit of money.

As for the people in northern Zhili and other places, although they cannot enjoy such low prices, the price of grain has still dropped a lot compared to the past. This decline is indeed beneficial for most residents. Those families who do not have the reserve of stones and are ashamed of Busu, can enjoy it more with confidence and boldness this time, without worrying about eating.

Except for the very few extremely poor people, most people will not starve to death. Without the danger of starving to death, they will not think of taking risks to rebel. For the vast majority of the bottom classes, this must be considered good governance, and for the court, it must be considered to be considered to be a contribution to a stable situation.

However, after the implementation of this good governance, even Yang Ji, who had a strong background, was hit hard. The reason was no different, and some people and their financial resources were cut off.

First of all, many of the officials are disliked by low grain prices. Due to the fixed salary of officials, the sharp reduction of grain prices is equivalent to a disguised reduction in income. Furthermore, most officials have to be regarded as spokespersons of the gentry and landlord class. In this low grain price operation, most farmers will not go bankrupt, or they will not be able to survive by borrowing usury, so that they will not sell land. How can they collect land if they do not sell land?

Moreover, this food price actually has an impact on the value of the land, making the value of the land less important than before. In their eyes, this is a typical evil policy, which is the evil of the evil that harms the people.

Some people also believe that such food prices are to support lazy people, which has a very bad impact on people's hearts, making the people become lazy and lose the motivation to create wealth, and ultimately the entire country will be ruined.

In the eyes of these people, those who did not sell their children, their houses, their land because of the price reduction, or those who did not take up a knife to go up the mountain to fight against the poor people in the court were not qualified to be considered human. The scope of their considerations did not include those humanoid creatures walking upright with their feet. Jiajing received a lot of impeachment memorials about Yang Ji. For the sake of merchants, they could make trouble in front of the emperor, which was enough to explain the problem.

In the local government office, there have never been any illegal attacks on Yang Ji's envoys. In the green forest, there were also many bandits and robbers and martial arts heroes who carried out targeted damage and smashing Yang Ji's shops, and even personal threats or injuries to Yang Ji's practitioners. Yang Ji's workshop was burned and there were casualties. In the past two years, Yang Chengzu killed Japanese pirates in the southeast and killed bloody corpses. Princess Yongshou was in the capital, with open guns and hidden arrows. The degree of danger was actually even higher than that of the battlefield.

Fortunately, her foundation is strong enough, and the emperor is behind her. She has a team that can fight and kill. Whether it is a lawsuit or a fight, she will not suffer any losses in the end. Anyone who uses methods to deal with Yang Ji will use more intense means to retaliate. Yang Ji almost stepped on the dead body and rushed all the way to face the attacks from both sides and secretly. How much effort the princess has put into this is hard to describe.

Yang Chengzu grabbed Zhu Xiuchang's hand and felt a little guilty, "Xiuchang, I...I'm sorry for you. These things should have been my job, but they put all the burden on you. Now, I'm back. Those people, whether white or black, use methods on the table or the way below, just come to me, take revenge and seek justice. No revenge or grievance. If you don't like anyone, you can pull him away!"

Zhu Xiuchang smiled with satisfaction and kissed him on the chest, "It's indeed my good husband. Once you come back, I can take a break. I am the wild woman you raise outside. What you should think about is how to make yourself more beautiful, drink tea at home, be a girl, and wait for the man to come back to spoil me. You have the ability to raise me. From today on, I will be responsible for causing trouble and help you smooth it out, and I will depend on you."

The two of them were lingering for a while. Zhu Xiuchang was a polite person in the end. He knew that if Yang Chengzu was left here tonight, he would have done too much. In addition, he was also looking for a corner in the middle. This time he came back from the south, and I don’t know which gods might come to worship the pier. Tonight, there might be some visitors who couldn’t push them away. In the end, he still reluctantly sent him out of the house, but just said in a low voice.

"In two days, I will go to Dengshikou to find you... I also want to inspect the new army this time. This is your opportunity. You will perform better. Although you can get credit for not making any contributions, you will always have some contributions to me. So, show your skills and don't embarrass me..."

At the entrance of the alley where Princess Yongshou’s Mansion was located, several men with hats looked at this far away. When Yang Chengzu came out, someone couldn’t help but say, “What are you thinking above? You can’t move. If you don’t take it, it will be in vain.”

"Take your mother's legs, just the men in Princess Yongshou's mansion. It's no trouble to kill our brothers. Ansheng looks at it, don't act rashly." Another man scolded him sternly, lowered his head tightly, for fear that Yang Chengzu would see it. As the person involved, Yang Chengzu didn't expect that someone had already begun to target him.
