Chapter 127: Song Jing borrowed silver
Song Jingdao: "The student wants to make a pair of stalks. ”
What's the difference?
In the Southern Song Dynasty's "Dongtian Qinglu", he refers to reading glasses.
In the previous dynasty, glasses had been introduced to the Ming Dynasty from the west, and the Francophone people wearing glasses could be seen in Guangdong.
Daming can't do this thing, so he can only trade it from the Franco merchant, and the price is very expensive.
"Old lady Zeng has a bad eye, and the student wants to make him one."
After living in Zeng's Mansion for a long time, Song Jing knew that the old lady Zeng had an eye disease and could not see things clearly, and his teacher invited many doctors to see it badly.
He had seen the Franc Merchant's Hammer, and when he wore it, he could see things clearly.
But it was too expensive to buy a pair of stalks, so he decided to make a pair for his master himself.
Yan Chengjin fell into deep thought, Old Man Zeng couldn't see clearly, he had cataracts, not presbyopia.
However, he didn't intend to dampen Song Jing's enthusiasm.
"Do you know how?"
"Students can go to Tianjin Wei to ask Franco." Song Jingdao.
The port is the place where the Furlong machine haunts the most, and there are often Franc people in Guangdong to do transactions, but it is too far away from the capital, and it takes too long to travel around.
The port closest to the capital is Tianjin.
Where did Song Jing plan to look.
Speaking of which, he is grateful and admires Yan Chengjin from the bottom of his heart.
At the beginning, he had never been far away, carrying a package alone, and came all the way to the capital, just to promote the improved silkworm method to the world and benefit the people.
At that time, he may have just relied on his enthusiasm.
But after improving the iron law, allowing Daming to trade a large amount of grain with neighbors and feed thousands of people, Song Jing found from Yan Chengjin that there were more things worth doing besides gaining fame.
How many scholars in the world are like Old Lady Zeng, who suffer from eye diseases, but they can't afford to buy them.
This thing can be done by Francis, and he wants to try it too.
"Don't go to Tianjin Wei, it's up to you, even if you look for ten days, you may not be able to find a Francois who knows how to be a stalker, go to Chang Ningbo, and say that the official asked you to find him." Yan Chengjin Road.
The main trade objects of the Francos and the Great Cannibals were not the gentry in the streets.
Rather, relatives and some officials.
Since the beginning of the previous dynasty, Zhou Yu has secretly had dealings with the Francois and the Great Cannibal, and with his ability, it is not difficult to find a craftsman from the Franco.
Although glasses are rare in the Ming Dynasty, they have long been available in the West.
Daming has a glass craft manufacturing process, and Song Jing is looking for a pair of people to ponder, and it should not be difficult to make it.
Yan Chengjin asked how he could take five hundred taels of silver.
Song Jing hurriedly excused himself and said, "As long as one hundred taels." ”
Yan Chengjin said righteously: "Don't be polite to this official, come, write this IOU." ”
Counting the equipment manufactured, it will cost a lot of silver, and when Song Jingzhen wants to do it, he will know.
Song Jing was a little dazed.
What is written on this "IOU" is not to ask him to pay back the money.
Instead, it was written: 'This project is developed by Yan Chengjin with silver, and it is owned by Yan Chengjin, and no one is allowed to make it without the permission of Yan Chengjin.
Song Jing didn't know why: "My lord, this is?" ”
At that time, Zhou Yu had to ask Song Jing, glasses are very valuable things, as long as they are manufactured, they will directly monopolize Daming and even neighboring countries, and it is a long-term big business that can be done for hundreds of years.
Zhou Yu often deals with Franco, how can he not see it.
Yan Chengjin also did this to protect Song Jing, and when he taught Song Jing three questions last time, he understood that Song Jing's brain was okay to read, read, do research, and play scheming basically belonged to the mentally retarded.
Let Zhou Yu come to sell it, it is estimated that the readers of the Ming Dynasty can't afford it.
Let him come......
Yan Chengjin has no interest in Zang, but the development of Zang can bring an artifact.
"When did this official deceive you, quickly write your name and give you five hundred taels, remember not to let Chang Ningbo be deceived."
Song nodded: "Don't worry, my lord, the student will never be cheated out of his money again." ”
Forbidden City, Kunning Palace.
Zhang Heling and Zhang Yanling's brothers also wanted to come and ask for a cook, but Queen Zhang listened to them crying, but she didn't want to pay attention.
"Yan Chengjin asked His Majesty for the imperial kitchen, and the palace heard that you are your domestic slaves as the imperial chef in the palace, and you can serve as an envoy without permission?"
"Isn't Yan Chengjin going to service......" Zhang Yanling was not angry.
Empress Zhang was slightly angry: "Get out of the palace!" In the future, without the summons of the main palace, you are not allowed to step into the harem. ”
Although she did not interfere in the affairs of the court, Empress Zhang also knew that they were doing mischief in the capital, and she knew that it was useless to say it, so she didn't want to see them again.
The Zhang brothers had no choice but to leave the palace in a huff.
At night, the capital is lit up.
The first restaurant in the capital changed hands one day, and the drunken immortal residence ten steps away seemed to be on the verge of bankruptcy.
Huang Baoshan is tired of becoming a dog, he has never made so many hanging ducks, there must be more than 2,000.
The shopkeeper of this restaurant is shrewd, not only has seats, but also develops a delivery service, and this stove has never stopped.
Wang Busui chicken thief, in front of the menu, added the word "imperial system".
The imperial one is naturally the most expensive.
A plate of "Qinglong Goes to Sea" at Yingke Song Restaurant can also be sold for a penny.
An imperial hanging duck, two taels of silver.
With the addition of the word imperial system, the gentry can accept this price, and even the gentlemen in the capital like to come to welcome the pine restaurant.
Yingke Pine Restaurant is famous.
Huang Baoshan wanted to meet the owner behind this restaurant, but Wang Busui always said that he would change the day, but he didn't see him until the end of the month.
After a month passed, Wang Busui sent Yan Chengjin 12,000 taels of silver.
Yan Chengjin sent it to Liu Qing, the government of Shuntian Mansion, Liu Qingle did not close his mouth, and also sent people to strengthen the security around the Yingke Song Restaurant.
The Drunken Immortal Residence hung up a signboard that changed hands.
The Zhang brothers knew that the imperial chef came here at the behest of Emperor Hongzhi, so they didn't dare to make trouble, so they simply sold the restaurant.
Hallym Academy,
After the palace sent the unicorn skin, Yan Chengjin was particular about dressing, if he wanted to enter the palace, he would wear the unicorn clothes, and if he went to the yamen of the Hanlin Academy, he would wear ordinary official clothes, and the two skins would change back and forth.
It's a bit more low-key.
Wang Shouren did the work of compiling and revising the classics.
Yan Chengjin tasted wolfberry tea, which can be described as very relaxed and comfortable.
Today, too, I consulted some historical books in the Han Garden, sat down until the evening, and left the palace on time.
It's getting late,
The sedan chair drivers were waiting by the dismount monument outside the noon gate, Yan Chengjin got on the sedan chair, and the sedan chair driver slowly lifted it.
Strange to say, in recent days, there seem to be more Jinyi guards, from Wumen to Xicheng District, there are no less than three teams of Jinyi guards all the way, and if there are more, you can never close your door at night.
Back in the alley in front of the house, Yan Chengjin opened the sedan curtain and found from the rearview mirror of the sedan chair that someone was following behind.
Fortunately, there is a secret post of the brocade guard in front of the mansion.
Yan Chengjin took out the big stick hidden in the sedan chair and shouted: "Someone is following this official and wants to do wrong, Jinyiwei, come out quickly!" ”
