Three Envoys to the Southern Tang Dynasty (1)

In the south of the Yangtze River in June, the warbler sings and dances.

Zhao Pu, the secretary of the Criminal Department, with the portrait of the supreme leader of the Great Chu family of three, as well as the specialties of the Chu State, came out of Yuezhou, mighty, and went down the river, but in 5 days, he arrived in Jinling.

The first envoy to Li Tang was to make peace, and at that time, Li Tang's privy envoy Chen Jue accompanied him all the way, and the emperor's younger brother personally went out of the city to greet him; The second envoy Li Tang arrived in Jinling, and Feng Yansi, the acting privy envoy Wei Cen and others also came to the dock to greet him; But this time, Da Chu's official ship had already docked, Zhao Pu raised his eyes and looked at the shore, there were only a few people who were sparsely pulled, for one, he knew, it was Li Tang's Zhongshu Lang Chang Mengxi.

Zhao Pu smiled in his heart, it seems that Li Tang's Northern Expedition suffered a loss, and his anger came to my Da Chu's head. Why? Obviously, just from the official position, he is the secretary of the criminal department of the Chu State, at least Li Tang should also send a secretary to greet him, this is called waiting, but only one waiter was sent, and he was not the waiter of the Ministry of Rites, Chang Mengxi was followed by a few petty officials of the Ministry of Rites, and the one standing in front of him still knew him, that is, the envoy of the Chengdong Post Station.

Zhao Pu walked along the deck and walked slowly ashore. Chang Mengxi arched his hand and said: "Lord Zhao has worked hard all the way, Your Majesty, order me to come to greet you." ”

Zhao Pu bowed his hand and saluted back: "There is labor, there is labor." How is King Tang lately? ”

Chang Mengxi stopped, arched his hands in the direction of the palace, and said, "Your Majesty is well, I don't know how His Royal Highness the King of Chu is doing?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled slightly: "My king is also in good health." It's just that the concubine Niangniang is very worried about His Royal Highness King Tang. ”

After greeting each other for a while, the two of them sat in the eight-lift sedan chair, Chang Mengxi in front and Zhao Pu in the back, heading towards the Chengdong Post Station. After arriving at the post station, Chang Mengxi arranged Zhao Pu in the small courtyard on the left, and said that he had other things to do, so he said goodbye.

Zhao Pu knew that this was the deliberate snub of the Li Tang court, but he didn't care, but he was happy and relaxed. In the afternoon, he personally sat on the sedan chair and went straight to the most prosperous purple pomegranate street in Jinling City, on both sides of the street, there are rouge gouache shops, silk cloth shops, gold and silver jewelry shops, antique shops, calligraphy and painting shops, taverns and tea shops, the corners of the street, there are some shops that pinch Tang people, buy masks and other small toys, pedestrians rub shoulders one after another, the noise is abnormal, and it is very lively.

Zhao Pu at the left side of the street, saw a restaurant, which was full of seats, and the business was quite good, Zhao Pu immediately got off the sedan chair, looked up at the horizontal plaque of the restaurant - gold characters on a black background, and wrote "Purple Pomegranate Inn". He stepped into the tavern, and there was a little boy in a gray hat who greeted him and said kindly: "Objectively, you are here, do you want to stay in the hotel, or eat?" ”

Zhao Pu smiled slightly: "Your business here is good, is it a private room upstairs?" ”

Xiao Er said: "Listen to Mr.'s accent, come in for the first time at that time, our Purple Grenade Inn is a big inn in Jinling, this second floor is also the same hall as the first floor, a total of more than 3o tables, this box is in the middle courtyard, and the backyard is the inn." ”

Zhao Pu smiled: "Is your shopkeeper here?" I have something to discuss with him. ”

The child looked at Zhao Pu in surprise, but when he saw Zhao Pu dressed as a scholar, he couldn't see the calendar, and he didn't dare to offend. He pointed to the counter on the left and said, "That's our shopkeeper." ”

Zhao Pu turned his eyes to see a middle-aged man standing at the counter, with a short figure, wearing a dark green robe, a black belt, and a smiling face, looking quite kind. Zhao Pu walked over and said, "Hello, shopkeeper." There's something I want to discuss with the shopkeeper. ”

"If the guest officer has something to do, he may as well say that if he can help below, he will definitely help him below." The shopkeeper looked very bold.

What is the surname of the shopkeeper, what is his name, and who the owner is, Zhao Pu has long known clearly. He smiled and said, "In the future, if you want to charter this Purple Pomegranate Inn tomorrow, I don't know how many silver taels you need?" ”

The shopkeeper was stunned, the box room, that is a common thing, and the entire inn is only two or three times a year. Hurriedly gave Xiao'er a look, which means yes: Look at your lack of eyesight, what are you doing in a daze, the big customer comes to the door, hurry up and pour tea?

He hurriedly walked out of the counter and said, "Guest officer, do you want to hold a banquet here?" In this case, the amount of rent depends on what kind of food you order. Please follow me, sir, and we'll talk about it later. ”

Zhao Pu followed the shopkeeper to a small box on the left side of the middle courtyard, Xiao'er poured the best Biluochun, Zhao Pu casually took a sip, and said: "I want to charter for two days, and the rent is your front hall, as for the middle courtyard and the back yard, you can open as usual, these guests, of course, can pass through the front hall." There are only ten tables left in the front hall, and the rest you have to move them out completely tonight, and I will send someone to put some other items in the front hall, and I will give you 5o taels of silver a day as rent. What are you doing? ”

The shopkeeper's heart jumped, the inn's daily flow, the book income is only 2o taels, and he can really earn about 15 taels, this person actually gives 5o taels of silver a day as rent, he is naturally willing. However, for the sake of safety, he still asked: "I don't know what Mr. is going to put in the front hall?" ”

"The shopkeeper's rest assured that it will never make the shopkeeper embarrassed, it's just some local specialties."

"Then it's a deal." I heard that it was just some local products, and the shopkeeper was relieved and agreed.

At this time, Zhao Pu took out a silver ingot from his arms and said, "This is fixed silver." And when the rest of the money is done, he shall give it to himself. ”

The shopkeeper cushioned the silver that weighed 5o two, nodded again and again, and said with a smile: "Okay... Let's make a decision. ”

Zhao Pu saw that the shopkeeper had accepted the silver, and he took out another piece of paper from his arms and said: "The shopkeeper, you can forget, there is still a trouble, please ask the shopkeeper to copy the content on this paper again, and paste it at the door of the front hall of your inn, how about it?" ”

The shopkeeper took it and looked at it, and it said, "Give you a chance to make money, and achieve your dream of wealth." The rich side is no longer a dream. The Chutang business exchange meeting was held in Ziliu Inn from June 8th to 9th. Opportunity is always for those who are prepared, you ... You ready? ”

The shopkeeper's expression froze, and he asked suspiciously: "Sir, this... ”

"Hehe, if the shopkeeper is interested, you can also come and take a look. As for the government, it won't take care of it. You can rest assured that if the government comes to make trouble, I am willing to compensate ten times as much! ”

The shopkeeper nodded, but he thought to himself, it is better to report this matter to the owner. Otherwise, what if...

Zhao Pu saw that the shopkeeper's face was embarrassed, and said with a smile: "It's not a secret, under is the Shangshu of the Great Chu Criminal Department, and now he is ordered by the king to send Li Tang." In this matter, His Royal Highness the King of Tang is in accordance with it. "According to the sluggish style of Li Tang's official mansion, the psychology of watching the excitement is far greater than the psychology of intervention, and besides, Li Tang will definitely not intervene. If Feng Yansi wanted to expand externally, he couldn't bypass the Chu State, and without a good relationship between Chu and Tang, Li Tang didn't dare to send troops at all. As for Zhou Zong, it is not only the Chu State that is beneficial, but also Li Tang, presumably he will not intervene rashly. Anyway, I've only been promoting it for two days, and by the time they want to take care of it, I'll already close the stall.

Hearing what Zhao Pu said, the shopkeeper was relieved. This worry disappeared, curiosity was born again, and he couldn't help but ask respectfully, "My lord, you... Does Da Chu really have a chance to make money? ”

Zhao Pu smiled: "Yes." Of course there is, otherwise Lord Ben came all the way to Jinling, what would he do? It's not to lie to you. Of course, there are opportunities, it's up to you to seize them. ”

In the afternoon of the same day, the bustling area of Jinling was all pasted with "how big the heart is, how big the dream is"... With such eye-catching, but vague words, the entire Jinling became a sensation, and everyone knew that tomorrow at the Purple Grenade Inn, Da Chu was going to hold a financial event. Many people are looking forward to the next day with the intention of going and seeing.

The next day, the sun was shining.

The vicinity of the Purple Pomegranate Inn was soon impassable, just after the hour, the Purple Pomegranate Inn opened, everyone rushed in, but saw that the inn had completely changed, the front hall where many tables were originally densely placed, only more than ten tables were left sparsely, some of the altars and jars were placed on the table, some of the cloths were put in, some of the local products were put in, and some of the strange things were placed, and a giant picture of 6 feet wide and 9 feet high was hung on the side of each table, and the words Jingzhou and other words were marked on the top of the picture. The lower part is a portrait of some specialties, and at the bottom is the main road in Jingzhou. There were also 2 people standing next to each table. At the front of the hall, the fortune and longevity map of fortune and treasure was also covered by a large piece of paper with black characters on a red background, and these words were densely written on it, but they were some policies of the merchants of Dachu.

After everyone entered the inn, they walked to the table, and the person standing at the table immediately greeted politely: "Sir, hello, take a look at our Jingzhou specialties." I Jingzhou fertile field thousands of miles, is a rare good place, this Jingmi is famous far and near, or there are carved oil umbrellas, chic and emotional, not to mention, but also particularly cheap. . . If you go there to do business, our government also has special incentives... ”

It didn't take much effort, the first and second floors of the front hall were completely stuffed, and everyone had strange and difficult turns walking, watching, and listening in front of the various tables.
