Chapter 163: The Tribute Society

After three rounds of wine, five flavors of food, the banquet has ended, the people of the Du family who hosted the noon inn banquet, the cooks and maids they transferred from the Furong Building, will be a sumptuous and delicious banquet, and the guests are full of praise.

Due to the large number of officials and eunuchs accompanying him, it is impossible to pull all of them to the noisy place of the restaurant to eat, so according to the convention, a reception banquet is set up in the post house. After the official mission was completed, the merchants and squires would privately invite the Jinling envoy to the restaurant to have a separate banquet to distinguish it from this public banquet.

After everyone moved to the front hall, they sat down one after another, and after the fragrant tea was served, today's tribute meeting officially kicked off.

Du Qingyun, as the president of the Jiangzuo Chamber of Commerce, asked Gao Yuan, the capital transfer envoy, at this time: "Lord Gao, can you start?" ”

Gao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Yes, let's start." ”

Du Qingyun stood up, first made an opening remark, and then summarized the business of the Jiangzuo Chamber of Commerce in the past year, such as what new silk weaving products appeared; Tianshuibi's printing and dyeing technology has made a breakthrough; How the production of silk expanded, the price was one-third lower than that of the northern part of the Yangtze River, and how the tea and vinegar of Runzhou became the best products, surpassing the products of other places.

Gao Yuan and several palace supervisors all showed a happy look after hearing the words, this Runzhou City is really outstanding and rich in products!

After Du Qingyun summed up, he said: "According to the usual practice, the nine major families of Jiangzuo will first introduce their own tributes and lists, and in the past two years, my Du family has served as the president, so I will speak first on behalf of the Du family."

Everyone nodded, echoed a few times, and entered the self-recommendation tribute process.

Du Qingyun continued: "The Du family has always been mainly engaged in winemaking, and this year two new wines have been launched, one is called "Qunfei Drunk", which is specially brewed for the ladies of the court and powerful families. Another liquor is also an imperial brew, and the name 'Amorning Dew' is based on 'Manna White', which is more suitable for the imperial court......"

"Dujia liquor, famous for a hundred years, has produced new brewing, and there will definitely be progress." Gao Yuan commented.

"Thank you for your praise!" Du Qingyun smiled slightly, stepped back and sat back in his place.

Next, the head of the Murong family appeared, the Murong family is mainly engaged in the cloth business, and almost one-third of the textile cloth in Runzhou is processed from the Murong family's workshop, and he said: "Lord Gao, the envoys, my Murong family has transformed the spinning wheel, and now the silk fabric continues to improve the processing speed and improve the quality, such as at the end of last year, a kind of spinning yarn was successfully processed, called ' Awakening bone yarn', with pure silk banana bone and weaving, cool and suitable, seeing that in midsummer, this new yarn material entered the palace and Jinling magnates' mansion, made a coat, is bound to set off a trend! ”

Cao Zifeng, the eunuch of the Provincial Shangshe Bureau in the palace, and the eunuch Wei Shan, the eunuch of the Provincial Government Bureau, all moved their eyes after hearing the words, and the concubines in the palace liked the silk fabrics of the Murong family very much, and now that there is a new bone yarn, when they go back to pay the errand, they can also ask for some rewards and praise.

Next it was the turn of the Yan family, the Runzhou Yan family is also to do cloth business as the main business, but it is mainly in the printing and dyeing industry, the Yan family has improved the 'Tianshui Bi' printing and dyeing technology, and the light blue tone to a more pleasing and natural color, at this time, everyone has praised, even the messenger in the palace has a smile.

As we all know, the official family and queen in the Jinling Palace are very fond of the color of Tianshui Bi, which causes the palace maids in the palace to wear neon dresses and palace skirts of this color.

Subsequently, the rest of the big families also said that the tribute and new products were reported, the Yu family's piano shop, all kinds of orchestral instruments are the top grade in the Southern Tang Dynasty, the Pan family's balsamic vinegar, aged vinegar, spices, cooking condiments, etc. are also very special, and several teas of the Lu family, the Fan family's turbid wine, gold and silver are also signboards.

The main business of these major families is a large annual output, in addition to Runzhou and Jinling, foreign trade is also the main force.

At this time, it was the turn of the Ding family to introduce, Ding Yuexi stood up, glanced at Bai Susu with a sneer, and then walked in the center of the field.

Most of the businessmen and squires present were elites, and as soon as they saw the appearance of the head of the Ding family, they knew that today's tribute selection was coming.

Ding Yuexi stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "My Ding family has been committed to burning porcelain for 40 years, has always been based on celadon, although other porcelain has been studied, but not placed in the main business, but now is different from the past, the white porcelain of the Ding family has also fired a fine product, and more detailed, glaze and printing have also progressed, no less than the Ding family's celadon texture, therefore, this time the court tribute to select porcelain, the Ding family can be a complete agent, celadon and white porcelain bundled purchase, the price can be reduced by two percent compared with previous years. If the owners present are purchasing and cooperating, it will also drop by 20% compared with previous years! ”

When everyone heard this, they all showed different colors, celadon and white porcelain were bundled and sold together, so the output was huge, the price was reduced by two percent, and the profit compression was definitely a lot, this Ding family would rather make less money, but also to collapse the Bai family.

Gao Yuan, Shang She Bureau, Feng Yu Cao Zifeng, Inner Government Bureau, Cheng Wei Shan, and others were all surprised, and after thinking about it, they also understood that this was the Ding family's desire to monopolize the porcelain business, and they took this opportunity to suppress the Bai family.

"Oh, how is your Ding family's white porcelain firing, do you have samples?" Father-in-law Wei Shangong asked.

Ding Yuexi said with a smile: "If you go back to Father-in-law Wei, the white porcelain of the Ding family is meticulous and has been fired, which can be visually inspected on the spot!" ”

After finishing speaking, Ding Yuexi instructed the servants waiting outside to bring in a few kinds of white porcelain, including teapots, teacups, porcelain bottles, porcelain bowls, plates, etc., and handed them over to the transfer envoys and eunuch envoys for inspection, and at the same time, they also let the heads of many families present see them in their eyes, achieving the purpose of establishing authority and publicity.

Yin Tingshi saw his brother-in-law's performance, which was remarkable, and nodded with a smile.

"Oh, it's fine white porcelain!"

"Yes, it is no different from the white porcelain of the Bai family, it is also a fine product in porcelain."

"In the future, the Ding family will take over the firing of celadon and white porcelain, and the scale of the porcelain business will be doubled!"

"The price is low, and we will buy porcelain from the Ding family in the future, which is convenient, and every time I go to the two to talk about business, it is a little troublesome."

The businessmen and squires present added fuel to the fire, and their reputation for the Ding family was constantly improving, and they intended to follow the trend to suppress the Bai family.

Shopping malls are like battlefields, for many businessmen, if the nine families become eight families, then the second-rate families will be less suppressed by a giant family, and the first-class families can also have more resources, so they are happy to see a vicious battle between families, and it is best to lose both, and they will benefit.

After reading it, Gao Yuan nodded slightly, if the Ding family can really provide celadon and white porcelain at the same time, the price will be twenty percent lower than before, which is a good thing for the royal family and other merchants.

"The Ding family has made progress in the porcelain industry, I wonder if the Bai family has made any progress this year?" Gao Yuan looked at Bai Susu, giving the Bai family a chance to fight, if they couldn't impress the Jinling envoy group, then the Bai family would be out, and the Ding family would become bigger in the future, and the Bai family would decline and be unstoppable.

For a while, everyone's eyes looked at Bai Susu to see how she turned the tables.

However, most people are not optimistic in their hearts, and they all feel that the Bai family is going to be planted this time.
