Chapter 631 Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium
Eunuch Wei is waiting to confirm the authenticity. These vague statements made him unhappy.
One of them said ashamedly: "Dad, we are very knowledgeable and talented. This Emperor Daojun's calligraphy and painting are really unsightly."
The other people were busy echoing each other, saying that they were clumsy and had no ability to identify the true or false.
This is the truth. How could Eunuch Wei, the calligraphy and paintings of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty, be able to identify the authenticity of the calligraphy and paintings of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty?
Everyone must!
But where did he come from?
One person saw Eunuch Wei's thoughts and suggested: "If my father-in-law really wants to confirm that the painting is true or false, you might as well visit Mr. Xiangguang."
"Who is Mr. Xiangguang?" Eunuch Wei was very famous. This name is interesting.
The man said, "It's Dong Qichang, Huating, Songjiang."
Dong Qichang?
Eunuch Wei was stunned for a moment. This is really a big shot. He is also Dong Qichang's disciple.
Because Master Wu learned the word Dong Qichang, and he learned it with Eunuch Wei.
If you really want to ask Dong Qichang to touch the palm of your hand, you can tell the authenticity of this painting, but Eunuch Wei will go to Fujian when he crosses the river, so he has no time to walk around Songjiang.
It should be noted that there is no Shanghai now.
I also thought that there was no big shot in Huai'an Prefecture, but Yangzhou was prosperous in the past several times stronger than Huai'an. Since ancient times, it has been a place where merchants gather. There are definitely more people in the calligraphy and painting world than Huai'an, and their level is also stronger. I simply went to Yangzhou to look for people, but I still couldn't recognize him and went to Nanjing to find him.
In such a large Nandu, Eunuch Wei didn't believe that he could not find many calligraphy and paintings.
So, these people were asked to go back and ordered people to go ashore to purchase some daily necessities, and asked the fleet to continue setting off.
Because there was an official road beside the canal from Huai'an to Yangzhou section, Eunuch Wei ordered the two infantry battalions to march ashore.
It is called "Liaoxuan".
He also chose a standard for each of the Second Battalions, and ordered a long-distance marching for 60 miles with weapons and twenty kilograms of grain.
When I arrived at the bid first, I would reward three taels of silver with both sides. Eunuch Wei would remember the merits once.
Under the heavy reward, everyone of the two-standard soldiers competed for the first place. Hundreds of soldiers on the road rushed forward, which led to the gentry and people around the world thinking that there was a robbery in the vicinity.
On the fourth day, the fleet arrived in Yangzhou, which was not far from Eunuch Wei’s hometown in his previous life.
However, the world has changed, and what you see along the way has no impression of your hometown.
Standing on the boat and looking at the direction of my hometown, Eunuch Wei was in a state of peace.
Five hundred years have become too many.
Who would have thought that the east seawall would be a mudflat, but hundreds of years later it would be a plain with tall buildings everywhere.
In the evening, Eunuch Wei never had a meal.
The next day, the fleet arrived outside Yangzhou City, but someone came to greet him early. It was the god brother Wei Guangwei.
Since the separation of Zheng Guotai Mansion, the two Dukes of Wei have not had any letters to each other.
Eunuch Wei only asked someone to send a letter to the inn before boarding the boat in Tongzhou, and walked and stopped on the road, which was at least one month longer than the normal fleet arrived in Yangzhou.
But I didn't expect that this kid brother was in Yangzhou so on time.
Eunuch Wei was happy in his heart. He liked this kind of sincerity.
Attitude determines everything.
Wei Guangwei is so capable that no one can do it.
Brother Gan is really sincere. In order to accurately learn about the time when Eunuch Wei arrived in Yangzhou, the Minister of Rites in Nanjing spent 200 taels of silver to buy news about merchants along the way, and even knew exactly where Eunuch Wei’s fleet had stopped for a few days and what he did.
"My father-in-law is worthy of being a hero in the inner court. Teng County saves the people from the fire and fire. His heroic deeds have spread to the north and south, and his subordinates are ashamed of their own inferiority!"
Wei Guangwei stepped forward and flattered Eunuch Wei. Eunuch Wei was also happy to hear that he was famous all over the country.
The guests and hosts arrived at the best restaurants and the best private rooms in Yangzhou City in a warm and friendly atmosphere.
Sister Xiuzhi and Tong Jia were on the left and right. As soon as they sat down, Wei Guangwei gave gifts to these two Eunuch Wei.
The top gold jewelry and rouge powder are combined in a box, and they are only called Xiuzhi and Tong Jia.
Eunuch Wei said politely, but Wei Guangwei was a little bit of a word and didn't respect him.
After the meal was ready, Eunuch Wei told the two of them to withdraw.
Sister Xiuzhi was a little reluctant. She thought that she was a big wife, so why couldn't she listen, so she was unwilling to go out.
However, Tong Jia retreated without saying a word.
Seeing this, Wei Guangwei smiled and was inconvenient to speak.
Eunuch Wei didn't say anything, but just looked at Sister Xiuzhi. Although this look had little meaning, she asked Sister Xiuzhi to go out in a bad mood.
There were only two Wei left in the house.
What we are talking about issuing maritime bonds in the south.
This matter was agreed at Zheng Guotai at the beginning, and later the specific handling was Shouning. Eunuch Wei had never asked much about it because he wanted to lead his army south.
"Who are you going to sell to first?"
Eunuch Wei did not doubt that Wei Guangwei dared to make small accounts. What he cared about was the actual profit. This god brother said at the beginning that there were many rich people in the south. Eunuch Wei liked to deal with rich people the most. If Wei Guangwei developed all the rich people in Jiangnan into his own customers, even if Jiangnan was the old nest of the Donglin Party, he might not be able to give them a "peaceful" evolution in the future.
People's hearts seek benefits, but by nature.
If the foundation of the Donglin Party can be shaped and their political foundation is broken, there may not be a big fight in the future.
On the way, Eunuch Wei also thought about the affairs of Jiangnan and Donglin Party. Rich people in Jiangnan can actually be called Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium.
Because of interests, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium chose the Donglin Party as their spokesperson, and the Donglin Party also needed the support of the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium due to economic reasons. The two hit it off, which led to the party struggle that lasted for decades in the late Ming Dynasty. But if the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium and Donglin draw a clear line, the power and influence of the Donglin Party would not be as huge as the original history. It would be easier to solve it by then.
But if the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Consortium and the Donglin Party are divided, they must have a cake with greater interests than their existing ones.
Otherwise, the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortium will still only focus on the land and the tax they swallowed. In order to protect vested interests, they will inevitably continue to support the Donglin Party.
Eunuch Wei’s consideration was whether the Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums could be allowed to participate in the maritime trade, so that the originally conservative but capitalist-oriented Jiangsu and Zhejiang consortiums would evolve into Western consortiums.
In this way, it can not only pry the foundation of the Donglin Party, but also strengthen the power of maritime affairs.
The sea trade is not something that Eunuch Wei can do alone.
He needs the joining of civil forces, even if it is a pirate, he needs it.
Therefore, he had to contact the rich people in Jiangnan.
Wei Guangwei, the real Donglin Party, is undoubtedly a good matchmaker.
However, what surprised Eunuch Wei was that his elder brother actually said he wanted to sell the bonds to the Donglin Party.
"Donglin Party?"
Eunuch Wei was really surprised and surprised.
"The old man in charge doesn't like Donglin, but," Wei Guang smiled, "Donglin is rich."
Eunuch Wei also laughed. He did not pour cold water from Wei Guangwei to dampen the other party's enthusiasm, because in fact, he was also curious about the effect of this idea that directly contacted the official owner.
Compared with direct contact with wealthy people in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, directly linking with the Donglin Party can save many steps and reduce a lot of trouble.
Eunuch Wei didn't care whether it was to be successful or not. He encouraged Wei Guangwei. Then he said something, and finally thought of something, and asked Wei Guangwei: "Does sir understand painting?"
Wei Guangwei was stunned for a moment and said, "The official understands a little bit."
Upon hearing this, Eunuch Wei was happy and hurriedly called someone to call Sister Xiuzhi and ordered her to take the picture of "Hidden Lotus and Golden Eggs".
Wei Guangwei looked at this painting for half a stick of incense, and his expression became very serious. Finally, he said to Eunuch Wei: "To know the authenticity of this painting, you must have to look at it by Mr. Jingyang, the Great Lord of Donglin."
