When the Ministry of Household announced the selection of new imperial merchant qualifications, the merchants in Shangjing City were boiling. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Many people have inquired about the inside story, and the current major imperial businessmen even met together to discuss what countermeasures there were.

However, it was found that there was no countermeasure, and if you wanted to run for the imperial business, you had to act according to the rules of the household department.

Of course, there are also people who find Yan Chuan, and few people know that this new imperial merchant campaign is from Shu Hongxuan, but they all feel that Shu Hongxuan will definitely have a more detailed inside story.

Yan Chuan avoided it under the pretext of being busy, of course he knew the inside story, after all, Shu Hongxuan was his own grandson, but even if he knew the detailed rules, he still had to act according to the rules, in this case, instead of having time to connect everywhere, it was better to find a way to make the best of his goods to run for the imperial businessman.

This is Shu Hongxuan's suggestion to the Yan family.

Yan Chuan is ready to use a thousand gold silk as the last killer feature, but of course the royal family can't only wear a kind of silk with a thousand gold silk, and other fabrics must also be prepared, just this time there was a problem in the Yan family's workshop, Yan Chuan rectified it well, and changed a new rule - as long as the workers in the workshop, whether they are weaving and dyeing masters or apprentices, as long as they can make better fabrics than the materials owned by the Yan family now, they will be rewarded with one thousand taels of silver, and the monthly silver will be correspondingly increased every month.

Since someone can buy the Yan family's weaving and dyeing master, then he will promise higher conditions, and for a while, the apprentices and masters in the Yan family's workshop are all full of energy.

After the Chongyang Festival in September, the election of the imperial merchants kicked off in Shangjing.

Merchants from all over the country who knew the news of the imperial merchant election through various prefectures and counties all gathered in Shangjing, and when the Ministry of Household Affairs and the Ministry of Internal Affairs counted more than 200 merchants who were qualified to participate in the election, they were all surprised by this number.

The admission ticket of 300,000 taels of silver, although it is said that if the election is not successful in the end, the deposit will be given back to the merchants, but there are more than 200 people who can afford this deposit, which shows how prosperous Daxia has become.

Emperor Chengde had been following this matter for a long time, and when he learned that there were also so many powerful merchants, he suddenly looked forward to how much more money the treasury would have at the end of the year when the household department liquidated the year's taxes - this was the first year that the new law was fully implemented, and the first year to see how much support the new law would have for the state treasury.

The selection of the imperial merchants lasted more than a month, and it was completely ended at the end of November, and the Yan family finally won the qualification of the imperial merchants, but there were businessmen like the Yan family who finally sat firmly on the qualifications of the imperial merchants, and naturally there were also those who were removed from the imperial merchant qualifications, and a few were happy and a few were sad, but the biggest winner was Emperor Chengde.

The Imperial Merchants are under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and this time the Imperial Affairs Office has recorded as much as one million taels of silver because of the auction of the Imperial Merchants, which is equivalent to one-seventh of the treasury silver in previous years, so how can it not make Chengde Dile happy?

Because of this success, Emperor Chengde felt that the future selection of imperial merchants would be done in accordance with such rules, and the selection method of the Great Xia imperial merchants has continued in this way since then.

Only the historical records of later historians are now in existence, and it is known that the auction method that lasted for hundreds of years, and even later derived from this, was from the hands of Shu Hongxuan, a scholar who was trusted by two emperors of the Great Xia Dynasty at that time.

In the new year, Shu Hongxuan was already seventeen years old.

At the age of seventeen, he should have been actively preparing for the imperial examination, but he had become a celebrity around His Majesty.

If Mei's is the mother-in-law, it's okay, but she has to refuse to tell him about it, which is a matter of one sentence, but she is a step-room, in order to prevent others from making irresponsible remarks about her, after the New Year, Mei's began to look for a daughter-in-law for Shu Hongxuan.

In order to have a good excuse to see the ladies of each family, Mei took Shu Yanqiao, who didn't have to go to girls' school, out and went to a banquet every few days.

When Aunt Fang and Shu Yanqiao were informed by Mei's eldest girl that the eldest lady was going to take the third lady out, the two mothers and daughters were a little frightened, and it was never the case for them to take Shu Yanqiao, a concubine, out alone.

When Shu Yanqiao followed Mei with 120,000 caution and every word and deed in a proper manner, she found out that Mei was really attending the banquet.

It's just that she hasn't noticed it at the first banquet, and when she went out with Mei for the second time, she slowly discovered the clues.

When Mei went to the banquet, the conversation with the ladies of each family was all interested in their daughters, and the wives of each family seemed to have a tacit understanding with Mei, and would always ask their daughters to come out to meet guests.

She seemed to vaguely understand this kind of discovery, but she was not very sure about this kind of thing before she came back, and after she came back and secretly told Aunt Fang, Aunt Fang knew that this was the eldest lady who was going to say goodbye to the eldest young master.

After the two mothers and daughters discussed, taking advantage of Shu Yanhua's rest day, Shu Yanqiao brought apricots to visit her.

"Hello big sister." Shu Yanqiao was well-behaved.

Shu Yanhua beckoned to her, "The third sister is here?" Come to the eldest sister, I heard that you have been going to banquets with your mother recently, and it just so happens that my grandfather's family has sent me a few horses, you can see which one you like, take it back and let your aunt make you a dress. ”

Shu Yanhua has Qiu'er, a little expert in finding out the news, even if she has to go out to go to school every day, but the basic situation of the family is still known, although she was surprised that Mei's would be so generous to take Shu Yanqiao, a concubine, to frequent banquets, but she didn't think much about it.

It's just that after listening to Qiu'er say that the clothes that Miss San had worn twice last time she went out to the banquet, she had an idea in her heart, she was also going to ask Shu Yanqiao to come over on today's day off, but she didn't want her to come here first, so it was just right.

Shu Yanqiao raised her eyes to look at this big sister who has not been close to her since she was a child, and saw her standing at the table in the hall, wearing a lotus-colored regular dress, with a simple pearl hoop on her head, wearing the same set of pearl earrings on her round ears, the light transmission in the bright room is very good, the sun shines through the window, shining on her, dyed with a layer of misty light and shadow, her lips hang a warm smile, and her eyes are full of spring flowers.

She looked at it and there was a moment of sparkle.

"Big sister, you're so beautiful!"

This sentence is obedient to what is in the heart, without thinking through the brain, and blurts out.

After saying this, she came back to her senses, slightly ashamed, and saw that the girls around her were looking at her with a kind smile, so she made up her mind.

"Poof"

Shu Yanhua covered her mouth and smiled, stepped forward, took her hand, and praised with a smile: "My third sister is also very beautiful, come, take a look at the materials here, which ones you like, take them back." (To be continued.) )
