Compared to Chongzhen's worries, the reactions of the merchants in the Ming Dynasty were completely different.

Qian Duoduo was a famous cloth merchant and grocer in the capital, and had a deep relationship with the Cao Gang. That day, he suddenly called the groom and the entourage in the mansion, but he wanted to leave the capital and go to the bitter and cold place in Qingzhou in person.

The accountant who was on the road with him was a little confused and said dissuadingly: "Why did the big boss come to Qingzhou Prefecture at this time? Didn't the demons over there cause trouble? I'm afraid there will be great dangers after being there."

Qian Duoduo snorted: "How can you not go if you ask me? The goods coming from Qingzhou caused a huge sensation in the capital. The supply was in short supply. Our cloth, tea and other goods could not be sold. If we don't go to Qingzhou to pick up the goods in person, can't we wait to close the door!"

"No matter who is in charge of this world, it is inseparable from us merchants. Why can't we get goods from Qingzhou?"

Qian Duoduo sighed, and he had no choice. The cloth business alone was soft and smooth, just like silk, but the price was not much more expensive than their linen. Even he was wearing Qingzhou cloth clothes bought from other cloth merchants.

In addition, Qian Duoduo bought a few sets of toilet paper, toothbrushes, towels, soaps and other daily necessities. Although one set costs a consistent amount of money, it can’t help but be useful. After a few days, Qian Duoduo felt that he could not live without these things.

If he was still afraid of the name of the Golden Wolf Demon and did not dare to go to the three palaces of Qinglaiden, his business share in the capital would sooner or later be occupied by other merchants.

The goods in Qingzhou are really excellent. Even if the Golden Wolf Demon is notorious, he plundered half of the wealth of the gentry class in the three palaces of Qinglaiden, and left, the merchants outside could not resist the temptation and secretly sent people to buy these goods for sale outside. Although the purchase price was a bit expensive, the selling price was higher, and the profit was at least 70%.

The merchants and gentry in the three prefectures also began to taste the sweetness of trade at this time. Some obedient gentry families took the initiative to send wealth. Now they have obtained a trade qualification certificate and can get a certain share of goods from the government every month. Although they have to pay 30% of the profit as tax, they are much better than the days when they used to dig food from the land.

I don’t know how many gentry rush to buy commerce qualification licenses, and the licenses issued every day, even sold a huge amount of 1,000 taels of gold.

Qian Duoduo was afraid of any mistakes on the road. After all, there were chaos everywhere at this time. Even the officers and soldiers couldn't help but rob, so he brought dozens of strong men out of the capital, which scared away many bandits and robbers and arrived at Qingzhou Prefecture without any danger.

As soon as he entered Qingzhou Prefecture, Qian Duoduo was surprised to find that the order here was even better than that in the capital. The streets were neat and the streets on both sides were very lively. Although the pedestrians were ragged, they did not have much food on their faces. They obviously had good food, and their eyes showed their expectation for life, which was a prosperous scene.

Suddenly, a thin, thirteen or fourteen-year-old child walked towards Qian Duoduo and the others, and said with a smile: "Are you merchants from outside?"

Qian Duoduo was a little alert, but the thin child, without much threat, walked out and asked in a deep voice: "How did you know?"

The child smiled and said, "You will know by looking at your dress. Nowadays, many merchants come to our Qingzhou Prefecture to buy goods every day."

"However, the share of goods sold every day is not large, and only stores with trade qualification certificates are sold in large quantities. It is difficult for you new merchants to buy these goods."

He continued with a smile: "I am very familiar with the situation in Boxing County. The store has stock and the goods in that store are cheap. I know very well. As long as you give me 100 cents, I can take you to buy goods from Qingzhou Prefecture as soon as possible."

"Really?" Qian Duoduo asked with interest: "Many merchants come here?"

One hundred cents are not much money, and one bun is three cents, which is similar to the thirty Chinese coins on the Earth plane. For Qian Duoduo, a giant who has a million yuan in wealth, it may not necessarily bend over to pick it up when it falls on the ground.

The child nodded: "Of course, every day, merchants are waiting in front of shops that own Qingzhou goods. I heard that these goods are very popular outside. Some people say that there are more merchants in Qingzhou Prefecture, but unfortunately I have never been to Qingzhou Prefecture."

Qian Duoduo asked someone to give the child a hundred cents. Seeing the child counting the money happily, and put it in his arms, he asked again: "By the way, it's not that the Golden Wolf Demon is causing trouble. Why do I see that everything is normal here? Don't you think the chaos just now?"

When the child heard him say this, his face changed. He immediately took out the copper coins in his arms and threw them on Qian Duoduo. He stared at Qian Duoduo and said viciously: "You are the demon! The Golden Wolf Immortal Master is very merciful and saves us from water and fire. Not only does he share our fields, but he also gives us free food every day. I won't make any money."

Qian Duoduo quickly smiled and said, "Look at me, I said it wrongly. Didn't we come here when we heard that the immortal master is compassionate?"

He bent down his chubby body himself, picked up a string of copper coins on the ground, and then took out a ingot of silver from his arms and stuffed it into the child's hand: "Little brother, don't be surprised. We are not familiar with the road in life, so we still need to lead the way for us."

The child looked at the silver ingot in Qian Duoduo's hand, hesitated for a moment before taking it, and warned: "Don't say bad things about the Golden Wolf Immortal Master here. If someone hears it, you will definitely be beaten to death."

He glanced at Qian Duoduo's strong followers with their waist-knife around him and said disdainfully: "Don't look at you too many people, the two soldiers from the patrol team can easily kill all of you."

Chen Dazhuang, a Green Forest hero who can hold 500 kilograms of stone mill, was the head of the guard hired by Qian Duoduo. Hearing the child say this, he was a little angry. Just as he was about to speak, a roar came from the corner of the street, which was very strange, like thunder.

The child shouted excitedly: "The patrol is here!"

Qian Duoduo's face changed and he hurriedly shouted: "Everyone, come to the side quickly, don't block the way."

They were already walking on the edge of the road, but everyone knew that the soldiers were cruel. Even if they met soldiers and horses in the capital and did not rush to dodge, they would deserve to be trampled to death by war horses.

Although merchants were rich, their status was very low in the Ming Dynasty.

The child smiled and said, "Don't be afraid, this road is enough for the patrol team to pass by. As long as you are here to protect the laws and regulations, the patrol team members will not cause trouble for you and will also protect your safety."

"You outside merchants can also invite our soldiers from Qingzhou Prefecture to escort the goods back, and the price is not very expensive."

While he was talking, two modified trucks rumbling out of the street corner. There were twenty riflesmen carrying live ammunition on the truck, looking at both sides with bright eyes. It was precisely because of the existence of these patrol teams that the public security in Boxing County has improved a lot, and some gangsters are obediently working on the farmland or working in the harder mines.

Once they commit crimes, regardless of their identity and background, they will be severely punished, commit murder and looting, and they will be shot on the spot, with no favor at all.

Such strict measures made the Qinglaiden three palaces unable to say that they would not pick up the remains on the road and not close their doors at night, but the crimes of committing crimes were reduced to the lowest level, which was much more stable than those of Kaifeng Prefecture at the foot of the emperor.

Chen Dazhuang originally wanted to refute the child's words, but when he saw two steel giants appear, they could walk without dragging them. It was really shocking that the steel plates and sharp spikes on the armored truck completely made him say nothing. If such a chariot hit him, they could not withstand even ten times more people.

Qian Duoduo was surprised and found that as the child said, these patrol soldiers were not as domineering as the Jinyiwei patrolled the capital. The people on the street were not afraid of them. Instead, they stopped and looked at these soldiers with awe and envious look. It was obvious that it was their yearning for them to become soldiers of Qingzhou Prefecture.

After the patrol team walked away, the child took Qian Duoduo and others to a nearby business shop with trade qualification certificates. When he saw the carriage in Qian Duoduo's team, he smiled and said, "The carriage is filled with silver."

"In our Qinglaiden Three Mansions, there is actually no need to take the silver out and go to the bank to exchange it as a golden wolf money. It is very popular to use the golden wolf money to spend anywhere in the Qinglaiden Three Mansions."

Qian Duoduo began to be a little alert, and then asked curiously: "Golden Wolf Money?"

The child nodded, took out a small piece of paper from his arms, and handed it to Qian Duoduo: "This is the golden wolf money. Only the immortal master can make it, and no one else can make it."

"This is one hundred coins, equivalent to one hundred cents. The largest gold wolf money is one thousand, which is equivalent to a consistent amount. I will go to the bank to exchange copper coins later."

Qian Duoduo took the golden wolf money and looked at it, and was shocked. This was a very thin piece of paper, with a strange and tough texture. There was a lifelike golden wolf on it, as if it was real.

The three-dimensional painting printed with the three-D technology is simply amazing in Qian Duoduo's eyes, and he wants to jump out of the paper. Qian Duoduo knows many scholars who are good at painting, but has never seen a master of painting who can draw such a real portrait, let alone draw it on this small piece of paper.

Daming also issued paper money, and many money shops also had silver notes. However, this was the first time I saw such a strange golden wolf, Qianduoduo. With his vicious eyes, he knew that other people could not imitate fake money.

When they arrived at Zou's Trading Company, many merchants were waiting outside. Qian Duoduo was seeing a large amount of goods being moved from the ox cart and sent to the trading company. Obviously, merchants outside were waiting to finish unloading, so they rush to buy these goods.
