The people of Qingcheng are rich, and the merchants are even richer to the point of oil, and over the years they have formed extravagant habits such as fighting for wealth. Although Hu Jiuling is pragmatic by nature, some things are still not exempt from vulgarity.

It is indeed a difficult problem not to want to violate their own principles, but also to cater to local customs, and at the same time to give the merchants who come to Qingcheng from all over the Great Xia an impression of deep financial resources, and at the same time to deter them. But there is nothing difficult in the world, only afraid of people with hearts, although this matter is difficult, but it is difficult to defeat Hu Jiuling, who has extremely strong execution.

Isn't it simple and luxurious? It couldn't be easier!

Early in the morning, when the merchants from the south and north of Great Xia came to the Jianhu Wharf, they were stunned by the scene in front of them.

Gold! The entire dock is full of gold. Not to mention that the nine-foot platform in the center is full of golden colors, and even the road extending from the high platform is paved with gold bricks.

This is the method that Hu Jiuling came up with. Isn't it extravagant, isn't it just that it costs a lot of money, and my Hu family can always use all the gold, right? As for simplicity, when it is used up, all the gold will be moved back to the Hu family's treasury. In fact, the whole process is to move out the gold that has been deposited in the warehouse for many years and is about to grow hairy to breathe.

The effect of ventilation is that those businessmen from other places are completely intimidated by the Hu family's amazing financial resources. It is said that those big salt merchants in Huainan are rich, but now it seems that the Hu family, the imperial merchant who pays tribute to silk, should not be underestimated. It was gold, and the gold they held in the palm of their hands on weekdays was taken out so casually to pave the way. Stepping on the gold-brick avenue, they felt light and fluttering.

And the local businessmen in Qingcheng secretly screamed - vulgar!

The ancestors have been rich for generations, and the local merchants have long since changed from the original gold and silver to the current heritage, which is more elegant and tasteful than anyone. For example, Zhang San took out a box of gold ingots, which was not as good as Li Si's famous paintings. A painting is not as good as gold and silver, but when everyone's work is swung to that point, the whole style is immediately improved.

When they don't know what the nine-tailed old fox is doing? This glittering gold is just put out to see, and in the end it must not be included in the Hu family's treasury? Get so much gold, vulgar! It's just vulgar!

While chattering about the vulgar, they inevitably thought of other aspects: With so much gold, will it be violated?

Why is there only one dragon chair in the world? Is it only the emperor who can afford it? No! Although the dragon chair is expensive, but the slightly more prominent princes and nobles still take out the gold to make a chair, why is such a magnificent thing unique in the world?

That's the rule!

Shinong, industry and commerce, each class is invisibly divided into many small classes, and there are rules for which identity can be used and what. Although Hu Jiuling is the head of the meeting, he is just a businessman in the final analysis, can he use so much gold?

"Daddy."

Standing in the middle of the high platform, Ah Yao condescended to have an unobstructed view of the surrounding situation. Although she didn't squint on the surface, her eyes inevitably focused on Shen Jinshan's henchmen before.

They are the ones who are most likely to have an accident today!

Noticing that one of them was suspicious, she said in an invisible voice with her hand tugging at the side under the wide sleeve of her coat.

"Huh?"

As expected, Daddy's kind and gentle voice did not appear, and Ah Yao subconsciously turned her head and saw a handsome and uncast face. The sun rose in the east, and a slight redness hit him in the face, and the halo shone on him like an ordinary god.

At this moment, she couldn't help but feel confused in her heart, how could she resist being cold and ignoring him before? Such a handsome young man, no matter what he did wrong, he could forgive him lightly just by seeing that face.

Once this thought arose, it took root in Ah Yao's heart. Mo Daru, Daddy and even Lu Jingyuan have taught her that when looking at people, don't just look at the surface, the most important thing is to look at the heart. She was ashamed of her thoughts, and she kept it in her heart. It wasn't until later that I entered Beijing to see the eldest princess and the queen mother, and heard them talk about Brother Jing's childhood.

"When he was young, he was a demon king of the mixed world, and he was born so good-looking, so that people knew that they should be punished, but when they saw that face showing innocence, they couldn't do it."

At that time, she already knew about Brother Jing's arrogance, silently made up for his innocent expression, and when she met the first two distinguished people, she had a sense of sympathy.

Of course, this is all an afterthought, not only A-Yao at this moment, but also Lu Jingyuan, who turned his head to look at her, also felt the same way.

This girl is really suitable for red, she is dressed in red under the morning light, immature with a hint of charm and publicity, so beautiful that she can't be seen. With such a beautiful person who is completely in line with his heart, how did he endure not seeing him in the past few days?

Thinking of this, his mind was inevitably restless. The hand under the sleeve of the dark color was clenched into a fist, resisting the urge to embrace her into his arms, and turned his head resolutely, and he saw the group of people walking towards the high platform.

The leader is dressed in a gorgeous crown dress to the extreme, and the momentum around him is even more extraordinary, and he knows that he is not a mortal at a glance. Seeing him, the merchants who came from all directions in Great Xia around the high platform fell silent one after another, and sat down respectfully. Don't say that these businessmen have seen a big scene when they go south and north, even if they haven't seen a big scene, all of them who come today are engaged in the silk business, and they can see the delicate patterns on the clothes of the people who come clearly. This clothing and this embroidery, it is impossible for people without a certain status to wear it.

The person who comes must be from an extraordinary background!

This is everyone's cognition, and only Lu Jingyuan recognized the identity of the person present.

"King Jing!"

Standing under the glittering high platform, Lu Jingyuan, who was dressed in a dark robe, looked at King Jing who was walking slowly, and there was a bit of-for-tat in his voice. Although the status of the person who came was higher than his, he did not have the slightest intention of saluting at this moment.

The expression on King Jing's face as he walked to the steps instantly cracked, and at this moment he finally understood the state of mind of his younger brother King Ping.

But he's not the fool of King Ping!

Quickly stabilized his expression, he was in his official hat, and smiled warmly at the unruly young man on the high platform.

"This king passed through Qingcheng, and when he heard that there was a grand event here, he stopped the boat and came to join in the fun, but he didn't expect to see the Marquis of Dingbei. Where there is trouble, look at Haihan. ”

Stretch out your hand and don't hit the smiling person, a dignified prince has already lowered his posture like this, and ordinary people have long borrowed the slope to get off the donkey. But Lu Jingyuan is not an ordinary person, in the face of King Jing's actions, he does not dodge or avoid accepting it all, but when he speaks again, his mouth seems to be quenched:

"Now that you know it's going to be a nuisance, don't come. It's all coming, it's all disturbing, one by one, the king put on a high posture, but what Haihan is talking about, who of these businessmen present dares to really investigate your mistakes, it's extremely hypocritical. ”

Mo Daru's eyes, who were quietly mixed in the crowd, lit up, and the words of the little marquis simply spoke his heart. Many of his previous apprentices who were crooked and cracked were forcibly stuffed in this way by those in power. said that he would discipline strictly, but those princes, especially the gentlemen and princes, did not have an unprincipled and spoiled backer behind them. He doesn't care, and he doesn't.

Some people like to bully people with their power, but they even make a polite gesture.

The old monk Kukai, this apprentice, taught him well.

The previous little marquis's efforts failed to win the slightest recognition from Mo Daru, but today's poisonous tongue was crooked, and he went straight into the heart of A-Yao, the master, so that he couldn't help but start to slowly change his opinion of him. So much so that when the two got married, he turned against him and began to admonish Hu Jiuling.

is not afraid of power, upright, the little marquis is really good.

Mo Daru, who has been away from Beijing for a long time and is attached to the mountains and rivers in the south of the Yangtze River, has completely forgotten what kind of bad reputation the little marquis had before. Although he is only a marquis, and his title is far inferior to that of King Jing and King Ping, who are the sons and daughters of the Emperor Taishang, he has never been afraid of these people.

Why not be afraid? King Jing, who was disturbed in public and couldn't come to the stage, was bitter in his heart, who is the prince and who is the prince over the years?

Yu Guang looked at the magnificent outfits around him, he was originally attracted to this place by the rich benefits mentioned in the letter of the Shen family's daughter, but after being humiliated by Lu Jingyuan so mercilessly, he had a little more anger when he acted again.

"Since the Marquis of Dingbei has already said this, the king also has something to say. Reasoning, Qingcheng is just a county seat under the rule of the state capital, why is a county silk market open, and the pomp used is so high. So much gold, but it's against the rules? ”

Here it comes! The few businessmen who were envious, jealous and hated the Hu family were excited. Since the Shen family lost power, these businessmen have been carrying their tails between their legs, and their lives are not sad. But on the eve of the opening of the Qingcheng Silk Market, they suddenly received news from the Shen family and asked them to act cheaply that day.

It wasn't until they were still in the clouds, but with King Jing's duties, they finally understood.

Although they have never seen King Jing, they have heard of it. He was the most talented of the emperor's sons, and when he was not on the throne, his reputation was even louder than that of Jinshang, who was the prince of the East Palace. After retiring to accompany the capital over the years, he was very relied on by the emperor, relying on the accumulation of the emperor in the past few years, the power behind him should not be underestimated.

In short, this is a very reliable person.

Shall we go on it?

Just as these people exchanged glances and were about to move, the sound of drums came from the dock that only came when the government officials arrived. Everyone followed the prestige, and three people in court clothes appeared at the same time, and the two messengers who had previously tried Wu Youliang's plot against the rebellion walked here accompanied by Zhizhou Pan Chengdong.

Behind them was a whole set of gorgeous and unusual dependences carried by the soldiers of the state.

Seeing this scene, King Jing sighed in his heart.

Sure enough, after saluting respectfully, Pan Chengdong, as the introducer, walked up to the Hu family's father and daughter. Because of the relationship between Mo Daru and the Hu family, he has a close relationship with the Hu family, and he can speak more casually.

"The tiger father has no dog daughter, and the camouflage military uniform donated by the Hu family girl has made great contributions in this northwest war, and the sacred heart is happy, not only promoting him to the county king, but also allowing him to rely on the princess."

War in the Northwest? How had she never heard of it?

In a daze, A-Yao, who was promoted from the county monarch to two levels in a row, and jumped straight to the county monarch, faced Pan Zhizhou, who came to congratulate him, and the whole person was completely stunned.
