28. The commoner is handed over to the emperor
Hong Jing had seen a lot of high-ranking officials in his career, and had come into contact with quite a few big men who looked like human beings. But this was his first time with a person like Zhu Gui, who was as slippery as a loach.
realized.
Suddenly I have a feeling that in terms of being an official, five thousand years ago and 40,000 miles across, there is probably no one who is better than the big guys in this land. With the level of other places, no matter how you look at it, they are the big guys in this land.
Play the rest.
Even the Li Dynasty next door has been fighting back and forth for more than 400 years. In the eyes of real bosses, it may not be much different from a kid drinking at a player's house.
Fortunately, we didn’t end up in the hell difficulty zone!
He followed the smiling Huazhu back. He was a senior official who was qualified to sit in a sedan chair, but it was too luxurious to have a green sedan chair all year round in Yanjing. The sedan itself was certainly not worth much, but at least it was very useful for the income.
The accommodation is not worth much, but hiring two shifts of bearers is too expensive.
Even though Huazhu, the minister of the Ministry of Industry, is quite famous, he can make a lot of money all year round. But the top must be filial and the bottom must share the profit. The most important thing is that he is a collar. In ordinary life, if he is a slave of the collar, as well as relatives and neighbors of the same clan
When the autumn breeze comes to the house, he will help more or less.
It's the same as Grandma Liu entering the Jia family in "A Dream of Red Mansions". She is just her son-in-law. Wang Gouer's grandfather was an official together with the old man of the Wang family, and they accidentally joined the clan. According to Wang Xifeng, he didn't even know that such a person existed.
, but what’s the result?
First, the twenty taels that the old lady had used to make clothes for the girls in the house were immediately given to Grandma Liu, and then Ban'er was rewarded with a few coins.
According to Mrs. Wang's roommate Zhou Rui's family, she has been here twice before and has never been short of hers. It can be seen that this kind of autumn breeze is not something that can be done once or twice. The relatives and relatives who are not having a good life will always find them.
Come to the door from the head.
As a result, the dignified minister of the Ministry of Works and the chief minister of Zhenghuangqi North Korea not only did not own a sedan, he also did not even own a carriage. He usually hired a large carriage when he went out, but now he did not even hire one himself, and came here with Hong Jing
car.
"Brother, did you say it easily? Did you promise? Do you really mean it?" Hong Jinglai was on a mission and couldn't be as leisurely as Huazhu.
"Don't worry, I can still trick you, brother?" Huazhu hummed in a Yiyang accent leisurely, but stopped when Hong Jing came to ask.
"really?"
"Oh, if you see Master Zhongtang accepting it from you, then you should be relieved!"
"Do we still need to use other small military aircraft and large military aircraft?"
"There is no rush at this moment. Brother, please go back to the Korea Hall to draft the draft, and draft it for the Ministry of Rites and Honglu Temple. Once you receive it, send it to the cabinet and go to Tianting. We will talk about it later."
"Then it all depends on your orders, brother!" The position in the cart was a bit narrow, so Hong Jing simply handed over the toilet.
"We are close and affectionate brothers, how big of a deal is this?" Hanazumi said with a reassuring expression on his face.
Come on, Hong Jinglai has tried his best to get things to this point. Jin Zhichun is doing well. An earthquake broke his leg and he can't walk anymore. He is bedridden every day.
Full power was entrusted to Hong Jinglai, and all the burdens on him were relieved, and he felt very relaxed and at ease. In the past two days, I saw him instructing his family to go to Liulichang to buy cultural relics and ancient books, saying it was to entertain himself, and also
Those native products that were not carried in were made rich after being sold in Yanjing!
Thinking of this, Hong Jinglai also brought a lot of things with him, and entrusted them all to Lin Shangwo, who was both a general translator and an envoy merchant.
If you don't earn hundreds of thousands of dollars, you can't heal our little heart that is hanging on top of everything!
Due to special historical reasons, Zhu Gui, a Han official, lived in the outer city, while Hong Jinglai, an envoy, and Hua, a flag member, lived in the inner city. Although it was not a smooth trip, Hong Jinglai still wanted to take the people home.
After making an appointment to have another dinner in a few days when he was free, Hong Jinglai went back to the Koryo Pavilion directly.
Just as he was thinking about letting Jin Zhichun, who was better at writing poems and songs, prepare a manuscript for the petition after he came back, Hong Jinglai, who was consulting on the revision, saw Lin Shangwo sitting in the room with a beaming face, obviously waiting for Hong Jinglai to come back.
"Gelang, you are finally back!" Lin Shangwo was overjoyed.
"What are you so happy about?" Hong Jinglai came into the house, and Han Wushi came over to help him take off his coat, leaving him wearing only a sweater made of silk fabrics.
Speaking of being an envoy, there are many benefits. Jiaqing would give ice cubes to the envoys and deputy envoys every day. This was a great benefit in Yanjing, which was hot and stuffy, often dusty and smelled bad.
Nowadays, Guangqumen is jokingly called "Shawomen". Except for the windless summer days, Hong Jinglai usually has to take a car when he goes out, otherwise he is really afraid of getting a mouth full of mud when he returns home.
"Do you still remember the six thousand before..." Lin Shangwo gestured, his excitement not diminishing at all.
"Well, didn't I thank you?" Hong Jinglai took a sip of herbal tea, picked up a cattail fan and shook it.
Of course Hong Jinglai remembered the six thousand taels of gold clearly. After all, such a huge windfall made Hong Jinglai's personal wealth soar. At first, he just wanted to protect his friend Lin Shangwo, and the good deeds he did were rewarded a hundred times.
.
"I'm afraid you don't know who that family is!"
"Didn't you say they were Hui merchants from Yangzhou? They couldn't be the general merchants of Huaiyan, right?"
Huizhou merchants were really famous in the history of the Qing Dynasty. There is no need to talk nonsense. "No town can be built without Hui" is the best way to describe it. Since the Jianghui merchant who married the girl could handle the account reimbursement of the household department, he also
If you can pay six thousand taels of gold as a thank you gift, you must be a big businessman with abundant assets.
So Hong Jinglai asked this question!
The general merchants of Huaiyan really have assets in the tens of millions. Although it declined to a certain extent due to the abandonment of Huaiyan during the Jiaqing period, it is still a giant.
Soon after, Wu Bingjian, a wealthy businessman from the Thirteenth Industry in Guangdong, was dubbed "the richest man in the world" by Europeans. According to estimates, his wealth was only one-tenth of that of the previous Huaiyan General Merchant.
"Although it's not a hit, it's not far away..."
Lin Shangwo shook his head and said such words that made him lose his book bag. Hong Jinglai was almost amused by his appearance. You are a businessman, why are you pretending to be a strategist in the Warring States Period?
"How come it's not far away?"
"It's a long story, but it's also simple. This was told to me by several senior members of the medicinal materials industry association in Yanjing."
"You've learned how to tell the truth now, tell me now."
"Do you know Jiang Heting?"
"This is?" Hong Jinglai didn't know clearly.
"He is Lord Jiang Chunjiang who has been granted the title of Guanglu doctor of the first rank, granted the rank of Minister of Chenyuan by the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the title of Buzong envoy, and is rewarded with flowers and feathers."
