Chapter 328
Sister’s surname
Seeing everyone's tea cups that were so shocked, Mr. Tu was at ease. He touched his beard and showed Zhuge Liang's demeanor. Liu was beside him quickly said, "I'll let the servants clean up." Tu Ranxuan stretched out his crutch, and Liu was stunned for a moment and quickly supported him. He slowly said, "No need, go to the main hall! I think that uncle Zheng will arrive suddenly."
Liu Wei turned around and called out, and a little maid ran from behind, holding a sable cloak in her hand. Liu helped Old Master Tu and walked to the door, put the cloak on him, and helped him to go to the main hall. The patriarchs and hall masters behind him were all surprised. The profit of 400 times was too scary. He was willing to behead his head for 300%, let alone 400% of the profit was astonishing as this.
When they arrived at the main hall, the servants of Tu Mansion quickly ignited the fire brazier, and the tea-filled tea-filled tea. Suddenly, the cold air in the main hall was driven away. Everyone drank a few sips of tea absent-mindedly, and they couldn't help but continue to ask Tu. The old man scolded: "I'm confused, the wealthy merchants in Fujian and Zhejiang have been offended by the uncle Zheng. If he wants to make money for today, he must join forces with us. Now he is just testing us. This is the old trick of the Chanyuan Alliance. How can I not see it? Hum!"
The Chanyuan Alliance means that the Prime Minister of the Northern Song Dynasty, Kou Zhun, asked Emperor Zhenzong to lead the army in person, and then sat down to negotiate. It is known in history as the Chanyuan Alliance.
In the words of great men from later generations, this is called seeking peace through war.
Old Master Tu predicted that Zheng Guojiu must have bluffed and wanted to hit us, but in the end he still asked us. As for scholars, such a huge profit, he could lose face and other things!
The officials of the Ming Dynasty were all good at making money. Old Master Tu was the governor of Nan Zhili, and he promoted the military horses of Jiangnan. He was even more expert in making money. He was very capable of making money!
Everyone was told by Mr. Tu, and then they suddenly realized that they were flattering one after another. Sure enough, there was an old man in the family who was like a treasure. Mr. Ran Xuan was indeed the white jade pillar of the eight families, and the purple gold beam of the sea.
Why is Mr. Tu so keen on business? It’s not that I can’t understand that the business atmosphere in the middle and late Ming Dynasty was very strong, and this book was already bad, so I won’t say much.
Why did the salt from the Ming Dynasty make money so much from Fusang? At that time, there was a technical gap between the salt fields of Fusang and the salt fields of the Ming Dynasty. There was a total of two eras. Fusang was still the Qin and Han dynasties that were passed down from boiling sea into salt, which was very time-consuming. The Ming Dynasty became powerful at this time. After emitting salt into braised salt, it was directly poured onto a large iron plate that was burned red. Historical records at that time showed that a thousand kilograms of salt could be produced in one day and night. In the late Ming Dynasty, a more fuel-efficient pot was used, and the cost was getting lower and lower.
So, technology is productivity, nothing wrong!
Although Fusang is an island country, it still lacks salt. During the Warring States Period, the Imakawa family once gave advice to the Hojo family to impose a salt embargo on Takeda tigers. After the history of the Fusang country, Imakawa's move is really an unprecedented [economic sanctions] method. Later, something very famous in Fusang history happened. The rational Echigo-nodor Uesugi Kenno sent salt to Takeda tigers, and said that the people of the enemy country are also crowded, and the victory or defeat should be determined on the battlefield, and no cruel means should be taken.
It is no secret that the exchange rate of gold and silver for Fusang is 1 to 4 and the exchange rate of gold and silver for the Ming Dynasty is 1 to 10. The Ming merchants and Folangji merchants who went to Fusang to do business all use this loophole. The profits are scary when they enter and exit. Therefore, Old Master Tu is saying that this is a profit of 400 times.
Everyone thought about it and felt that for the sake of 400 times the money, face and other things seemed to be able to be lost. The world was huge and the money was the largest.
At this moment, there was a commotion outside, and the old god Tu Ranxuan was touching his beard, "I guess that uncle Zheng is here."
The door of the main hall suddenly opened, and the cold air outside suddenly rushed in. The few people near the door shook a chill. Luo Zizhang, who was standing at the door, didn't care, "Xuanweng, Zizhang stayed up to his entrustion."
When Luo Zizhang went to invite the good official, Wang Qinian arrested another group of people from the Eight families. When he heard that Luo Zizhang came to invite the uncle on behalf of the Eight families, he turned against him immediately and said that he dared not to come to see the Grand Governor. The good official smiled and stopped him, saying, "I heard that Mr. Tu in the Eight families is already over 80 years old. A junior like me is here to visit him." He winked at Wang Qinian and took the people to the Tu Mansion.
When he arrived at the Tushima Mansion, the manager at the door naturally asked him to enter, but stopped the rest of the people. Wang Qinian and Shui Renchen immediately threw several gatekeepers onto the street and led the Jinyiwei into the Tushima Mansion and went straight to the main hall, causing chaos in the turmoil.
When he arrived at the entrance of the main hall, although the manager was slapped by five or six people at the door, Wang Qinian did not dare to take it at this time. He bent down tremblingly and pushed open the door and asked the official to come in.
Standing at the door, the good official glanced at the threshold. The Tu Mansion is one of the most prominent clans in Ningbo. The name of the Tu Tian Guan family is not a waste of time. The threshold is about a little lower than in the palace. It is to be at the height between the calves. The good official looked at it and said lightly: "This threshold is too high, and I am a little tired today..."
When Wang Qinian heard this, he immediately turned to Shui Renchen and turned to the Jinyiwei below and shouted: "Come on, let's take a break from the threshold that hinders the Grand Governor's Road." More than a dozen Jinyiwei rushed over like wolves and tigers, and pulled the knife from his waist and slashed it in a crackling moment.
The threshold is old mahogany, but I can't hold back so many knives to cut them randomly. I immediately dismantled the threshold so that it could be used as firewood. The person inside jumped up, and the fat man was about to jump up first. Everyone next to him grabbed him, lowered his throat and said, "Do you want to be the chicken that kills chickens and scares the monkey?"
Fatty Zhang was not stupid. He understood it as soon as he heard it, so he sat down with resentment. Luo Zizhang, who was closest to the door, seemed to have not seen it. He looked up at the beam of the room, as if there was a peerless beauty on the beam of the room.
After the Jinyiwei took off the threshold, Omanami, behind the obedient official, stood on tiptoe and untied his fox fur and held it in his hand. Then, the obedient official then held the hilt of the famous sword pressing on his waist and walked in.
His press cut was originally Oda Nobunaga's love knife, and the work of a famous craftsman from Fusang during the Northern and Southern Dynasties. When Nobunaga burned Hiei Mountain, he found a monk from Yanli Temple hiding under the cabinet and a knife went up. As a result, the monk was split in half by Nobunaga and the cabinet, so it was called press cut. However, now he had already changed his clothes, with a green shark skin sheath, a green shark skin hilt, and a bronze mat wrapped in silver foil, which looked extremely simple and elegant without losing its luxury.
It was very popular to wear Japanese swords in the Ming Dynasty. The court also made Japanese swords themselves, and they often made thousands of people with tens of thousands of people. Some people directly made swords into Japanese swords. This is what Qi Shaobao said in his book [Japanese swords]. It was a relatively fashionable thing in the Ming Dynasty. However, the good official acted the opposite way. The Japanese swords were replaced with the Ming Dynasty. The Japanese were poorer. Even those famous swords had no good equipment. When they were famous, they naturally had to pack them. Although it seemed a bit vulgar to wrap them in gold and jade, it seemed a bit inappropriate to use swords to kill people. However, the current status of the good official, and with an ordinary sword, it would be ugly.
Not to mention anything else, he was wearing a white fox fur, looking like a handsome young man with a black wooden sheath hanging around his waist, and there was no decoration. That would be too unpretentious. It was like a superb suit hand-sewn Italian suit in later generations, but he was wearing a pair of 20 yuan rubber shoes on his feet, which was a laughing joke.
Liu Weiwei's eyes lit up beside Mr. Tu, but he never expected that the notorious uncle Zheng Guojiu was such a miserable young man, as if he was just like a handsome young man from the story novel.
How is the good official dressed up today? He was covered with a white jade crown on his head and a snow-white ink-shaped bamboo-embroidered arrow sleeve robe. Outside the arrow sleeve is an emerald green back. He buckles a bow on his chest. The fork on the back is split at his waist. He was hung with a sword with a green shark-skin sheath on his waist. He was kicking a pair of soap boots under his feet. He stood there like a green bamboo moving in the wind. He really looked like an immortal.
"Zhu Zi Yule" says: "Today, I have reached the highest level and often wear white silk backs." The emperor set an example, and it is conceivable that the popularity of the Han nationality's clothing is popular. In the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang brought Zhu Xi to the altar and talked about Zhu Zi everywhere, which was even more vivid. However, there was no such thing as wearing the backs to the taste of a good official.
Even the group of the eight-prominent tribe leaders who were watching the forced demolition of the threshold had to secretly praise, "What a shame."
He walked to the main hall with the hilt of the sword. The good official Xuan said, "It must be Mr. Ran Xuan. I have met Mr. Ran Xuan in Zheng Guofan."
The ancients said that swords and shoes went to the hall, which was an extremely high standard in ancient times. Fusang learned a lot. However, the Ming Dynasty was different from Fusang after all, and she wore a sword into the main hall of other people's house and stood up high. This was really provocative and rude.
Tu Ranxuan couldn't help frowning. Xuan Shou's long eyebrows moved slightly and slowly said, "Did uncle Zheng treat the elders like this?" He was in his eighties, so it was natural to say this. The clan leader next to him looked at each other and wanted to talk, but if this person was stunned and took me a big shackle, it would be a shame, let's forget it. Anyway, Xuan Weng always had the final say in this joint matter. So, like sparrows on the canopy, suddenly some sounds disappeared.
The obedient official and Mr. Tu looked at each other for a moment, and the obedient official laughed, "Whenever there is peace of mind whenever there is something big, Mr. Ran Xuan is indeed doing big things. He is calm, and he admires it very much." As he said that, he bowed to the ground, and gave a full greeting.
Tu Ranxuan snorted, then said to Liu Weiwei beside him: "Go and help him get up."
Liu Weiwei walked to the side of the good official, gave a blessing, stretched out his soft horn and helped the good official's arm. The good official took advantage of the situation to hold Liu Weiwei's hand, straightened his waist, and said with a smile: "Thank you, sister, my surname is my sister? But is the maid in the mansion?" Liu Weiwei's cheeks turned slightly red, and she pulled her hands hard, but she couldn't pull them out. Her face turned redder at the moment. Several pearl hairpins on her head swayed and collided gently, making a subtle tinging sound, which was extremely pleasant.
Everyone around was stunned, and the fat man almost even had his eyes bulging out. This is, he openly teased Ran Xuan Gong’s concubine! Liu’s clothes and heads don’t look like maids no matter how hard he looks! This is simply lying with his eyes open!
Pulling Liu's hand, the good official smiled and faced Tu Ranxuan and said, "Mr. Ran Xuan, you might as well give it to the boy if you see this sister being kind! The elder dare not refuse!" He talked to himself, and then he divided the concubine of the old man Tu's family into his name.
Everyone took a breath of cold air, but they didn't expect that Old Tu, the man above, didn't move his face and said lightly: "If you like it, why don't you give it to you?" But he cursed in his heart, little bastard, you want to test me, you are still a little tender.
