Chapter 107: The Princess's Mansion Night Banquet

The mansion of the princess of Chongqing is on the shore of the Chashi Sea.

And the mansion that the Xian family almost sold is also here.

The Šashi Sea is a place where the mansions of the powerful are gathered in Beijing, especially on both sides of the Khash Lake, which are large and small garden mansions, which can be said to be the golden area of Beijing, every inch of land is golden.

And the Xian family's mansion, the princess's mansion, lives next to each other.

Needless to say, the etiquette of the Ming royal family's marriage is naturally solemn. The ministers came. The ministers who had only heard of the reputation of the Xian family before were all present.

Xian Jing and Chongqing princess newly married Yan'er, naturally a lot of love.

Soon, the relationship between Xian Jing and Princess Chongqing quickly warmed up.

After all, there is no princess who remarries in the Ming Dynasty, and the fate of Princess Chongqing and Xian Jing was already connected when they got married.

And the princess of Chongqing is not a rude princess, and the standard of Xian Jing to the north may be a little shorter.

But in general.

is still good-looking, and although Xian Jing is not very knowledgeable, his means of dealing with people and things are better than many talents.

Be careful, and you will naturally be able to deal with the princess of Chongqing.

This is actually a portrayal of a large couple in ancient times.

The problem of love does not exist at all.

Xian Jing got the permission of the princess, so he borrowed the princess's mansion to invite guests, and it was not ordinary people who were invited. They are all leading figures in the business community everywhere.

The reason why the princess's mansion is used is because the subordinates of the princess's mansion are all brought from the palace.

The great merchants of all the places have nothing but money.

Except for a few Confucian businessmen, most of them are nouveau riche, so if you want to be like the Xian family, you haven't been making a fortune for many years. He was despised by the scholars in terms of taste.

There was once an incident where a great merchant spent a lot of money to buy a vase from the house of a scholar, which he regarded as a treasure and placed it in the ancestral hall.

Instantly it became a joke.

Without him, the places where the ancestors are worshipped are all made of bronze. This has been the case since ancient times, and no matter how precious this porcelain is, it should not be placed here.

This topic of ridiculing the nouveau riche has been the same from ancient times to the present.

Now let them enjoy the authentic palace night banquet, which is naturally on top of the excitement of these people.

So, that night, countless big businessmen came dressed up. I don't dare not give face to the horse.

After all, I hitched a ride with this colt, and if something happened later, I might ask this colt to take a hand.

And Xian Jing is also asking for people and greets him outside the second gate.

Every time someone arrives, they say a few words of greeting and let the next person welcome them in.

Every time someone passes, Xian Jing thinks carefully in his heart.

The Zheng family and the Lin family in Fujian are both leaders in Fujian businessmen, and the relationship between them is very complicated, with a lot of cooperation and a lot of fighting. In particular, the Lin family seems to be deeply involved in the construction of the Yizhou Mansion, and now the Lin family is already the number one surname in Yizhou Mansion.

In this way, the trade between Fujian and Yizhou is naturally controlled by the Lin family.

As for the Zheng family, they are better at running to the South Seas, and the one who sent Xian Jing to Beijing this time was the peripheral staff of the Zheng family.

Immediately, Xian Jing greeted again, the Wang family in Shaanxi, and the Zhang family in Shanxi.

The Shaanxi Wang family is the core member of the Shaanxi Business Gang, and it is said that this Wang family has always wanted to have a relationship with the court minister Wang Shu, but I don't know if it's true or not.

If it is true, it should not be preached everywhere, and if it is not true, Wang Shu did not come out to refute the rumors. But on the whole, it's true that they're fellow villagers.

After opening up the Western Regions, the Shaanxi merchant gang was very active. Although the development of the Western Regions is above the national level, it may be a loss. But for businessmen, the business opportunities are limitless.

The Wang family also brought a Hui merchant, saying that he was a big merchant from the Western Regions. The name is very hand-turning. Xian Jing didn't remember it, but this merchant from the Western Regions seemed to have come to worship the temple gate, and as soon as he made a move, he was a good 10,000 taels of congratulations, which was not much more than others knew.

As for the Zhang family in Shanxi, they were born as salt merchants.

However, after Zhou Chen's new salt law, the scale of salt merchants was limited. The Zhang family was very decadent for several years, but with the victory of the Ming Dynasty in Mongolia, the Zhang family seized the opportunity, and the Zhang family's trade reached Longcheng and Beihai. The entire prairie is full of camel caravans of the Zhang family.

is a premier merchant.

Then there is the Wang family of Hui merchants.

It is also a first-class family, and it seems that they have a hand in everything, overseas, salt merchants, cloth, and even horses, etc.

The volume is also quite large.

If these families hadn't married a princess, they would have to accompany the last seat when they met.

There are dozens of left, such as the timber merchants in Liaodong, the cloth merchants in Jiangnan, and so on. This time it can be said that it is a collection of Ming businessmen.

Combined, the silver taels that these people can use may not be worse than those of Shaofu.

It's just that if you want to surpass the Daming Inner Treasury and the Taicang Silver Treasury, it's difficult. The reason is very simple, during the Hongwu period, Emperor Taizu used his strong executive power to make a difference between rich and poor.

Of course, the balance between the rich and the poor in the land is still to be discussed. But the suppression of businessmen is very powerful. Whether Shen Wansan has someone else is another matter.

But something like Shen Wansan definitely exists.

After all, in Taizu's eyes, this kind of big businessman himself has original sin.

The commercial atmosphere in the early Ming Dynasty was very suppressive. Taizu Taizong's policy was basically the same, Emperor Taizong was a little more relaxed than Emperor Taizu, but that was also an adjustment based on the actual situation.

Emperor Taizong served as an envoy to merchants, and never showed mercy to his subordinates.

The time when a businessman really made a fortune was only forty years from the time of Hong Xuan to the present.

Forty years of wealth accumulation certainly allowed big businessmen to have some savings, but it was not enough to shake the system of the Ming Dynasty.

Not to mention, many of these businessmen are backstage.

For example, the surname of a timber merchant in Liaodong is Cao, and it seems that he is related to the late Fengguo Gong Cao Yi. It's just that these relationships are still hidden from each other.

Wait for everyone to arrive.

Xian Jing toasted first, and these people were happy for a while, needless to say.

It's just that the sound of singing and dancing outside has reached the backyard.

The princess of Chongqing is talking about it.

But because of the large-scale distribution of newspapers, the Three Kingdoms, Water Margin, and Journey to the West have all published scripts, after all, most of these three books are summarized from folk commentaries, some have been written, and some have not been written, but there are similar scripts.

Now there are already some down-and-out scholars who make a living from this.

The princess of Chongqing is also a fan.

Seeing this situation, the old mother beside the princess of Chongqing said: "Princess, the concubine is too disagreeable, and she brought some indiscriminate people to disturb the princess's purity, and the old slave will go and drive these people away." ”

The princess of Chongqing glanced at it and said, "Someone is coming." ”

Immediately two healthy women came.

Princess Chongqing twitched her eyes and said: "My mother has followed me for so many years, and it has been hard, but now that I am married, I don't need my mother." Go back and serve the queen mother. ”

As soon as these words came out, this old mother was very frightened.

The palace has never been a good place.

Zhu Qizhen didn't care much about the affairs of the harem, and even began to reduce the number of people in the harem, but it couldn't change the sinister situation in the harem.

Once you can pet the six palaces alone, you can go from a woman who can be despised by anyone to a concubine in the world.

This is a temptation that many people cannot refuse

If this does not change, the sinister nature of the harem will not be reduced.

In fact, it is not that the harem is sinister, but that the human heart is sinister.

This old woman is old, and in the palace, there is no future at all, if she stays in the princess's mansion, but she is a housekeeper, which is enough for him to retire with peace of mind, how can he not be frightened when he hears that the princess of Chongqing will send him back.

"Princess, the old slave knows that he is wrong." The old woman immediately fell to her knees and begged for mercy.

The princess of Chongqing grew up in this kind of place, and before leaving, she was taught by the queen how to take care of the house, so she was naturally not a white rabbit. She may not think that what the colt did was right, but the colt felt that she wanted to do it, and she had no intention of caring about it, after all, before she got married, the queen mother told her that she should not be too strong with the colt, after all, a woman is a woman's.

Therefore, she absolutely did not allow the colt to be criticized, no matter what the colt did.

The princess of Chongqing said: "Mother, why do you need to be like this, if you have anything to say to the queen mother." ”
