Daming: Playing stupid for ten years, I was broadcast live by sister Zhou

Chapter 101 Broke a good thing, stealing business
In a luxurious courtyard, a middle-aged man with a mustache who looked to be in his forties was resting his head on the lap of a beautiful woman.

Open your mouth and eat a grape brought to your mouth.

Fingers tap rhythmically on the soft pad, enjoying the melodious sound of the piano!

Squinting his eyes, his face was full of enjoyment.

The beautiful woman reached out to take the spit out grape seeds, and said in a coquettish voice: "Damn ghost, how long has it been since you came to my place?"

The middle-aged man raised his hand and wiped the woman's smooth chin.

He laughed and said, "Recently, I've been busy with official duties, so I really can't spare time! No, I'll come here as soon as I have time!"

The beautiful woman opened her outstretched palm and said angrily, "Hmph, I'm afraid I'm afraid of the tigress at home!"

The middle-aged man's smile froze on his face, and he paused with his hanging hands.

The beautiful woman has been following the man for several years, and she is too familiar with his every move.

He immediately understood that what he said hit his mind.

He said with a resentful face: "My family is from a humble background, it can't be compared to her father who is a subordinate of the Chief Secretary, who is a seventh-rank official!"

The middle-aged man smiled helplessly and said: "Who made her father the confidant of Lord You Buzheng? Even my position as an official depends entirely on the relationship of this old father-in-law!

Although he is only a ninth-rank official, it is a real fat job!
Otherwise, why would those salt merchants give me this house? "

The Salt Promotion Division is an organization in charge of the production and sales of salt.

Although the rank of the department is not high, it is a solid organization.

In order to get Yanyin, those salt merchants gave money, gifts and houses in various ways.

It's a real fat difference!

Although Lao Zhu made great efforts to rectify the administration of officials, he used a lot of harsh laws.

But the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty were too low to stand up.

The minimum wage given is only enough for the basic expenses of the family.

If you still need to hire servants and maids, basically the whole family can only eat porridge!

The later upright official Hai Rui relied on his salary to eat, and as a result, he couldn't even afford meat.

It was a rare time to eat meat, and it became big news and reached the ears of the emperor!
It shows how low the salaries of civil servants in Ming Dynasty are!

If you don’t get some extra oil and water, how can you support your family?
Let alone raising a concubine outside!

This is why the court laws are strict, but they are still repeatedly prohibited.

In the face of money and beauties, how many Ming officials can resist the temptation?

"Oh~!"

The woman sighed in her heart, her face was full of loss and helplessness.

She also knew that she came from a humble background and was given to this man as a gift by the salt merchant.

Let alone one day becoming a regular wife in this life, with that tigress at home pressing her down, she might not even have the chance to become a concubine!

Although this man made cakes every time, he said that he would divorce his wife and marry her after earning enough money in a few years.

But she knew in her heart that these words were just to make her happy.

It can't be true!

It is impossible for this man to give up his official career and official position!
Even if he could let it go, how could he let it go with the character of that tigress?
After getting along for a few years, if I really wanted to marry myself, I would have married a long time ago!
Saying these hypocritical things now is just perfunctory.

Before a beautiful woman is treated as a gift... no, she has seen all kinds of men!
And how could he be fooled by a few deceptive words?

I was secretly rejoicing: fortunately, my old lady has made a lot of money with the salt that I got from this guy in the past few years, and after a few years when I get old and faded, I will be abandoned and have money to take care of myself!
The two had their own thoughts, and tacitly did not mention the matter of divorcing their wives.

After a few glasses of wine, the middle-aged man felt like a fire was burning in his lower abdomen, and the hand on the snake's waist began to become restless.

The beautiful woman looked charming, and there was a low moan in her throat.

Just when the two were ready to go.

A maid hurried in.

Respectfully said: "Master, madam, shopkeeper Liu is here!"

The middle-aged man's face was flushed, and he waved impatiently: "Didn't you see that he was busy, tell him to get out!"

The beautiful woman pushed the man's head away, and said coquettishly: "Damn ghost, we'll talk about it later in the evening! Shopkeeper Liu came running suddenly, there must be something wrong!"

The middle-aged man was upset, and his resentment was written all over his face.

It's like taking off your pants and suddenly telling me it's inconvenient...!
Isn't this torture?
But seeing the resolute look on the other side's face, he could only sit up straight.

After the two of them finished tidying up their clothes, they signaled: "Let him in!"

quickly
A rich middle-aged man walked in quickly.

He saluted respectfully: "The villain pays homage to Mr. Chen, and Mrs. Chen!"

Although shopkeeper Liu is under the beautiful woman's subordinates, he also knows how to respect and order.

Especially knowing that a beautiful woman likes others to call her Mrs. Chen, she never misses it once.

Because he knew in his heart that even though he was a big businessman with money and background in front of outsiders, he was actually just a beautiful woman's white gloves!
So the attitude is very humble.

Don't look at the ninth-rank officials who don't take them seriously in movies and TV dramas, but in the highly hierarchical Ming Dynasty, they are the existences that ordinary people need to look up to!

Chen Wenchang waved his hands impatiently, naturally he didn't have a good look at this person who ruined his good deed.

Frowning, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Shopkeeper Liu welcomes and sends them every day, and what he is best at is observing words and expressions.

Annoyance could be heard just from the other party's tone.

Looking at the fruit and wine on the table, as well as the expressions of the two people's clothes, they immediately understood what was going on.

This is a good thing to disturb them!
He hurriedly went straight to the topic, and said respectfully: "The big thing is not good, another salt shop has opened opposite our salt shop!"

Chen Wenchang frowned, and a trace of anger flashed across his face.

"Just because of this little thing?"

At first, I thought that something big had happened, so I rushed to report.

In the end, he just opened a salt shop, which made him feel speechless.

While it was somewhat unusual for another salt shop to suddenly open in his area, there must have been a relationship behind it.

But I am in charge of salt!
Backed by the old father-in-law!
If you want to clean up a new store that doesn't even say hello and doesn't obey the rules, it's not just a matter of rubbing your fingers!
It's unforgivable to actually disturb my own good deeds because of such a trivial matter!
After hearing the report, Mrs. Chen also showed an angry look on her face.

The salt shop is an important way for her to make money!

Now that a shop is opened across the street, isn't it robbing her of money?
Immediately angry, he put on his shoes and went out.

He cursed angrily: "Dare to open a store to sell salt across from my old lady, and don't even look at how many catties I have, it's going against the sky!

Call all the nurses, and smash that shabby shop! "

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the official next to him.

That is the one who can really call the shots!

Seeing that he didn't object, he immediately understood.

He greeted twenty or thirty strong men with sticks and sticks, and rushed out.

Seeing this, passers-by all panicked and gave way.

These strong men are not so much nurses, but more like recruited hooligans!
