Chapter Eighty-Six: The Merchant of Goryeo
Wine, salt, and tea, the so-called three major songs of the Song Dynasty.
There is no doubt that the three major dynasties have increased the income of the imperial court, but they have also overdone the management of the market, restricted the development of the market, and affected the vitality of the market.
At present, Li Sanjian can only take measures to minimize the government's intervention in the market, within his own scope of authority, and with the permission of Song Law, to stimulate the vitality of the market as much as possible, but he cannot and does not dare to make fundamental changes.
"Li Zhizhou, there is a beautiful businessman who asks to see." Just as Li Sanjian was thinking about his thoughts and leading the horse to return to his house, a Xu official said to Li Sanjian.
"Lishang? Goryeo merchants? Li Sanjian asked.
"Exactly, not far away." The officer then pointed to a person not far away and replied.
Not far away, a middle-aged man in a strange costume stood in front of the door of the "Wind and Rain Pavilion" and was looking at this side.
Others looked at this person's strange clothes, but Li Sanjian didn't think it was very strange, white robes, Wenluo turbans, these clothes were indeed the clothes of Goryeo merchants.
Li Sanjian has never eaten pork, or has he seen a pig run...
"No, ... Wait a minute... Let's call him over. ”
Because Li Sanjian still had a lot of things to deal with in the prefecture, he didn't plan to see him, but at this time, Li Sanjian suddenly remembered something, so he changed his words.
The official answered, and brought this beautiful merchant over.
"Little Po Ping, Yin Mochuan, visit Master Li Fuzun, Master Li." Goryeo merchant Yin Mochuan walked up to Li Sanjian and saluted with the Han family's courtesy.
Yin Mochuan not only has a decent Han family etiquette, but even speaks Chinese quite fluently, not a Goryeo costume, and it is easy to be misunderstood that he is a Han person.
In fact, what Li Sanjian didn't know was that Goryeo did not have its own writing or language at this time, the official language was Chinese, and the characters used were also Chinese characters, and even the clothing was very close to the Han costumes.
"Excuse me, it turned out to be Yin Yuanwai?" Li Sanjian asked straight to the point: "I don't know what Yin Yuan is looking for this official outside?" ”
Po Ping Yin's? What is this? Li Sanjian secretly wondered in his heart.
When Yin Mochuan introduced himself, he bit the word "Po Ping" very hard, which seemed to mean some show-off, so Po Ping Yin should be a wealthy family in Goryeo? Li Sanjian secretly guessed in his heart.
"The villain has been doing business in the Great Song Dynasty for ten years, and he also has a lot of business in Quanzhou." Yin Mochuan replied when he heard this: "Li Taishou may not know that the villain still has a family in Quanzhou." Li Fuzun is the new Quanzhou Taishou, so the little one should come to the door to visit, but what kind of character is Li Taishou? The villain is humble, so he doesn't dare to be reckless, today he finally has the opportunity to see the dignity, it is really a blessing for three lives, today to see the Taishou, it is better to be made by the villain to go back to the east? Please Li Fu to appreciate the light. ”
Wife? Where did the home come from? Li Sanjian was unusually puzzled when he heard this, isn't Song Law's "Household Marriage Law" strictly forbidden inter-ethnic marriage? So where did this Goryeo chunky merchant family come from? Could it be that he was brought from Goryeo and settled in Quanzhou?
"Yin Yuanwai is so affectionate, so gracious, it seems that the official is really difficult to refuse, but this restaurant... Li Sanjian glanced at Xu Tingting, who was following him, and said.
Li Sanjian wanted to refuse, but firstly, Yin Mochuan spoke extremely decently and respectfully, and secondly, Li Sanjian was interested in Goryeo, so he first had to understand the situation in Goryeo, and this Goryeo businessman might be the breakthrough.
Li Sanjian was reluctant to go to the restaurant, it turned out that Song officials often went in and out of the restaurant, and they would be criticized by others, and even impeached.
Previously, Li Sanjian's "Wind and Rain Pavilion" banquet was just to announce some things, and it was not appropriate to return to the "Wind and Rain Pavilion" at this time.
In the "Wind and Rain Pavilion", Li Sanjian invited all merchants to a banquet with tea instead of wine.
"The villain understands, Li Fuzun, please!" Yin Mochuan nodded and smiled.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Li Fuzun, what do you think?"
In the spacious hall of Yin Mochuan's Quanzhou mansion, Yin Mochuan, who was sitting in the second seat, asked Li Sanjian with a wine glass.
In the hall, several dancers dressed in Goryeo costumes are dancing a Goryeo dance called "Fan Dance".
In the melodious and beautiful sound of silk and bamboo, the dancers are stretched and generous, whether it is a dancing fan or a holding fan, it looks light and graceful, giving people a beautiful and elegant feeling in the soothing rhythm, and it looks cheerful and lively in the brisk rhythm.
The dance is graceful, beautiful, and refreshing.
In addition to the dancing girl, the people in Yin Mochuan's family also secretly looked into the hall.
People in the business field inevitably have to deal with people in the government, but they generally deal with low-level officials, but today Yin Mochuan actually invited a Song Zhizhou into his home, and this Zhizhou also served as the secretary of Quanzhou City...
In the eyes of merchants, especially maritime merchants, the Governor of the Sho was an official who could decide their fate...
Therefore, at this time, Yin Mochuan looked flattered, and he was a little proud of being flattered...
The people in Yin Mochuan's family are also very curious, when they saw Li Sanjian, the man was ashamed of himself, and the woman was secretly blushing, the reason was self-evident, that is, Li Sanjian was young and handsome, and he was in a high position. 000 Literature
"This official has heard that the mountains and rivers of Goryeo are beautiful and the people are outstanding, but now it seems that this is really the case, what kind of mountains and rivers can raise what kind of people." Li Sanjian replied with a smile.
In fact, there will be beauties anywhere, and any landscape can raise beauties, mainly depending on how much.
No matter how many Goryeo beauties there are, is there more Great Song Wu? In terms of quantity and quality, Goryeo is far behind.
Li Sanjian disagreed, but on such occasions, Li Sanjian had to praise a few words...
"Hmph, they're Han, not Koreans." Xu Tingting on the side snorted and said.
"Uh... It turned out to be my Han woman... The Goryeo dance is also quite good... Li Sanjian said embarrassedly when he heard this.
Damn, you Han family little girl, what kind of Korean dance are you dancing? caused Lao Tzu to make a fool of himself in public, Li Sanjian secretly hated.
"It's not the Goryeo dance, isn't there a 'fan dance' in the Han family?" Xu Tingting shook her head again and said.
"I... You... Li Sanjian was "annoyed and angry", glared at Xu Tingting and said, "Their clothes are always Korean, right?" ”
"Hmph... Xu Tingting glanced at Li Sanjian.
"Haha, this little ... The grandfather's eyesight is extraordinary, Li Fuzun, they are indeed not Han, they were bought by villains, if Li Fuzun is interested, how about giving it to you? ”
"Excuse me!" Li Sanjian shook his head and smiled: "Thank you Yin Yuanwai." ”
I won't pick the time to send a beauty, Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, there is a "tigress" sitting next to him, how can he accept it calmly?
"Oh, so this kind of woman can't get into the eyes of Li Taishou? Also, such vulgar fans are indeed difficult to enter the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty. Or is Lee Taeshou interested in my Goryeo woman? If that's the case, I'll send two Goryeo women and Taishou on another day. Yin Mochuan said with a smile.
My Han woman is a vulgar fan, aren't you a Korean woman? Li Sanjian was secretly annoyed in his heart when he heard this, so he said impatiently: "Yin Yuanwai, I have also drunk this wine and appreciated the singing and dancing, you are looking for this official to come today, what are you talking about, can you say it now?" ”
"Hehe, Li Fuzun, don't worry." Yin Mochuan replied with a smile: "Li Taishou is the champion of the Great Song Dynasty, handsome, outstanding in writing, and is really a beautiful young man, such a person, not only admired by everyone in the Great Song Dynasty, but also in my Goryeo, the villain is also a long-term admiration for the name of Li Zhuangyuan, it is like thunder, today the villain can see the dignity, it is a blessing for three lives." ”
Yin Mochuan then took out a wooden box from his back cabinet, opened it and said to Li Sanjian: "Since Li Taishou will not accept these two Goryeo thousand-year-old ginseng, right?" ”
"Li Taishou, please smile!" Yin Mochuan then pushed the two Korean ginseng in front of Li Sanjian and said with a smile.
"Ginseng is a good ginseng, but Li has no merit and is not punished." Li Sanjian touched the Korean ginseng and said with a smile: "If Yin Yuanwai doesn't make his words clear today, this official will not dare to accept such a generous gift." ”
Where does Li Sanjian know the pros and cons of ginseng? Where can I tell if ginseng is good or bad? But the two ginseng in the box are big and fat, and at the same time, Yin Mochuan calls himself a thousand-year-old ginseng from Goryeo, so presumably Yin Mochuan shouldn't be fooling himself with inferior ginseng, right?
"What did Li Taishou say?" Yin Mochuan smiled when he heard this: "This is just a meeting gift, it is a little bit of Xiao Ke's heart, and there is nothing else to ask for." ”
"Huh? Since this is the case, this official accepts it, thank you Yin Yuanwai. Li Sanjian replied after a moment of silence.
If you dare to send it, why don't I dare to accept it? Li Sanjian secretly said in his heart, in this world, ginseng is a great tonic, but also an emergency thing, when people are dying, maybe a thousand-year-old ginseng has the effect of resurrecting the dead.
"Haha, Li Taishou doesn't have to be polite, come on, come on, Xiao respectable Li Taishou has a cup." Yin Mochuan was overjoyed when he saw this, and said with his wine glass.
So there was a banquet, and the guests and hosts dispersed happily.
。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。
"Husband, he has bad intentions." Since Yin Mochuan's residence came out, Xu Tingting said to Li Sanjian.
"How so?" Li Sanjian looked at Xu Tingting and asked with a smile.
"Nothing to do, either a traitor or a thief!" Xu Tingting replied.
"Haha, people are doing business, or a famous maritime businessman, your husband and I are promoting Quanzhou City, and it is normal for him to stammer with me." Li Sanjian replied with a smile.
"But... But how can you give such a valuable gift when you meet for the first time? Xu Tingting pursed her lips and said.
"That's it!" Li Sanjian patted Xu Tingting's shoulder and said, "I know it in my heart, I don't know what he means yet, and I can only see the move." ”
"The government respects the minister, urgent report, urgent report!" At this moment, a messenger from Quanzhou Prefecture rushed up from behind.
"Quick, quick, Wanting, you go home first, I'll rush to Changzhou immediately." After Li Sanjian read the letter, his face changed greatly, and he said to Xu Tingting again and again.
"Husband, what's wrong?" Xu Tingting was also taken aback and hurriedly asked.
"Don't ask, let's talk about it later, Wan Ting quickly get those two thousand-year-old ginseng." After Li Sanjian finished speaking anxiously, he turned over and rode away.
