Wang Jian is also busy every day, not busy training soldiers, then naturally there are battalion commanders in charge, he is responsible for making money, the ammunition for the daily drill is the same as fireworks, no matter how rich he is, he can't stand such a trick, but he has to practice like this, in order to improve the proficiency of the soldiers as soon as possible. There is also the issue of the overall planning of military funds such as food and silk, and he threw this large pile of messy stalls to Shen Sihai, while he concentrated on trying all kinds of ways to make money.

Three days later, the Haitian Grand Feast was held as scheduled, and the venue was in the largest restaurant in Jinan, Wangyue Tower.

In the evening, there was a majestic and solemn atmosphere in the Mochizuki Tower, and the two streets near the Mochizuki Tower had been sealed off by heavily armed brocade guards. Even so, the area around Mochizuki Tower was still surrounded by countless ordinary people, who looked at the merchants who went to the banquet across two streets, wanting to see if there were any acquaintances they knew.

"Look, it's coming!"

Then came a carriage or two, and out of it came a man with a fat head and big ears, and a man with a large garment and beautiful decorations, and at first glance he looked like a rich man.

"That's the shopkeeper Li in the west of the city, and I went to his house to buy oil two days ago."

"That's right, it's the shopkeeper Li, I didn't expect his family to be so rich, I borrowed money from him a few days ago, and he was still crying poor with me."

A businessman next to him saw the crowding scene, and couldn't help but say: "I knew that the emperor would really come, even if I sold the fertile land outside the city, I would have to get a seat!" ”

In the envious eyes of everyone, after a while, twenty well-known merchants in Jinan City came.

The Mochizuki Tower is lit up with lights, and the entire banquet hall is divided into three floors.

Wang Jian, as the emperor, sat on the dragon chair on the top floor. On the second floor opposite him were officials at all levels headed by Zheng Yuqiao, the governor of Shandong, and on the bottom two sides were twenty wealthy businessmen who had been seated.

Wang Jian looked at these people below, and only felt that they were very cute, all of them with fat heads and big ears, as beautiful as golden ingots.

Since ancient times, a wealthy merchant is a fat sheep under the rule of the imperial power: for the emperor, no matter how rich the merchant is, it is deposited with you, and he can take it at any time if he wants it. Just like Shen Wansan, the richest man in the founding period of the Ming Dynasty, as well as the pockets of later generations, the same is true, the richer you are, the more people stare at you, the more restrictions you will receive.

Don't look at these wealthy businessmen who are arrogant in front of outsiders, but in front of Wang Jian, the sacred majesty of the Son of Heaven is inviolable, and they immediately feel a strong pressure, so that they don't dare to talk nonsense, and they are all very restrained like a little lamb.

Wang Jian picked up the wine glass and drank it all, and said with a smile: "You don't have to be restrained, I am happy with the people today, and I will drink happily." He clapped his hands, and a group of singers entered, dancing to the music.

With the singing and dancing of a group of beauties, the tense atmosphere began to ease, and the atmosphere of the banquet began to rise under the drive of Wang Jian and Yan Yuese.

Wang Jian raised the empty wine glass in his hand and said, "What do you think of the wine glass in my hand?" ”

Everyone was far away and couldn't see it really, they watched it for a long time, and they only felt that since it was the emperor's royal thing, it must be extraordinary, and they couldn't see why. Even if a few businessmen who knew the goods saw a way, they didn't dare to peep at the imperial weapon, but just applauded vigorously and patted the horses.

Wang Jian was speechless: Lao Tzu raised the wine glass not to let you pat yourself, Lao Tzu wants silver, money, do you understand?

He said: "Wang Chengen, take it down and open your eyes to everyone here!" ”

Wang Chengen took the wine glass in Wang Jian's hand and showed them to the wealthy businessmen one by one.

Liang Si carefully took the wine glass, only to see that the wine glass was decorated with red, green and yellow blue and white patterns, and several chickens were depicted on it, they were pecking at a centipede, the picture was vivid and interesting, vivid.

Liang Si's family is well-off, and he has also collected a lot of porcelain, but he still can't help but sigh: "Your Majesty, this thing is exquisitely made, colorful, and in excellent condition, it must be an official kiln thing, and it is definitely a rare best in the world, and it cannot be obtained unless the Son of Heaven!" He looked at it for a long time, and reluctantly handed the wine glass in his hand back to Wang Chengen.

Wang Chengen sneered on the side: "Hmph, even if you know the goods, this is the imperial wine glass of Emperor Chenghua!" ”

When everyone heard this, they were a little excited, and the collection of porcelain was exquisite: "Rather save into a kiln, not be rich." It can be seen that the status of the Chenghua official kiln in their minds, not to mention the wine glass that the emperor drank himself!

Wang Jian saw that the wealthy businessmen were all greedy, his eyes rolled, and he smiled with a smile: "Since all Aiqing likes it, then I will cut my love and give it to you!" ”

As soon as Wang Jian finished speaking, everyone was short of breath for a while, and they stared greedily at the Chenghua chicken bowl cup in Wang Jian's hand, and they all wanted to keep it for themselves, this is a cup that the two emperors of the Ming Dynasty used personally, and the value is naturally needless to say, maybe it is also stained with dragon energy, and it is more suitable to buy it back as an heirloom.

Looking at the greedy eyes of everyone, Wang Jian pretended to be embarrassed again: "It's a pity, it's a pity, there are so many of you, I only have one wine glass, as the Son of Heaven, I can't be partial, it's really embarrassing for me!" ”

As soon as Wang Jian's voice fell, someone couldn't wait to speak: "Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to offer 50,000 taels of silver, and ask the emperor to give this thing to the grass people!" ”

"I'm sorry, old Guo Tou, is the emperor's wine cup worthy of you? Don't be afraid of losing your longevity, Your Majesty, the grass people are willing to give 100,000! ”

"I'll give 200,000!"

"The grass people are willing to give 300,000!"

Wang Jian was overjoyed: These guys are really successful businessmen, and sure enough, they are all human spirits, and they clearly understand what I mean by selling cups, but they take into account my royal face, and propose that they take the initiative to donate silver taels to contribute to the Ming Dynasty and ask for my reward. In this way, the act of buying and selling wine glasses became an act of reward from the emperor.

"Okay, since you like this cup so much, I also wish for the beauty of adults, you can donate whatever you want, and if you donate the most, I will give him this glass!"

As soon as Wang Jian's words fell, everyone began to fight for each other, and the competition was very fierce for a while.

Wang Jian smiled and watched the competition among the wealthy businessmen, and listened to the numbers jumping up suddenly, and they were all laughing from ear to ear.

In the end, after fierce bidding, this Chenghua Doucai chicken bowl cup was pocketed by Liang Si at a sky-high price of 600,000 silver taels.

Liang Si excitedly took the wine glass from Wang Chengen's hand, and he couldn't wait to pick up the wine jug next to him and pour wine into the cup. In the envious eyes of everyone, he drank the wine, and suddenly felt that the aroma entered his nose, surrounded by fairy energy, and the whole person was as wonderful as ascending to immortal.

The wine cup is a royal cup, is it used by a merchant in Liang Si?

How could Wang Chengen tolerate Liang Si being so unreasonable, it was simply a humiliation to the Son of Heaven, he shouted angrily: "Presumptuous! ”

Liang Si was taken aback, he suddenly woke up, realizing that what he had just done was a crime of disrespect, and he felt that he had fallen from the clouds into the abyss.

He was so frightened that he hurriedly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "The emperor forgives the sin, the grass people... The grass people got carried away for a while, begging the emperor for mercy, begging for the emperor's mercy! After speaking, he knelt on the ground and trembled, begging the emperor for forgiveness, and the surrounding businessmen and gentry were too frightened to speak.

Wang Jian looked at this old guy who wanted to be his "father-in-law" a few days ago, and thought to himself: "This is a good reason to raid the family." But he thought again: "Well... This old guy just drank some of my saliva, and he wasn't idle and disgusting. If you raid his house because of this, it will inevitably kill some chickens and eggs. It will inevitably scare these businessmen, and if they want to do anything in the future, they are afraid that no one will dare to come. ”

Wang Jian thought about it like this, and exchanged a wine glass for 600,000 taels of silver, which was enough. You know, 600,000 taels can create a lot of young thieves' love.

"Liang Si's enthusiastic donation is also a contribution to my Daming. Wang Chengen, according to me, this matter is settled. ”

Liang Si was forgiven, and immediately said gratefully: "The grass people thank the emperor for not killing him, and he is willing to donate another 50,000 taels." ”

Wang Jian earned 50,000 taels for no reason, and he happily raised his glass: "Okay!" The shopkeeper Liang is loyal to the monarch and the country, and I respect the shopkeeper of Liang for the people of the world. ”

Liang Si hurriedly replaced a new wine glass, and he didn't dare to use the chicken bowl cup anymore.

When everyone saw that Liang Si had committed a capital crime, the emperor not only did not blame him, but comforted the frightened Liang Si with gentle words, and they all became more and more debauched.

After this small episode, the atmosphere of the banquet also reached a climax.

In the midst of everyone's eagerness, Governor Zheng Yuqiao secretly glanced at a businessman named Wei Zhonghui under his command, Wei Zhonghui is the owner of Jinan Chengxi Winery, his family is well-off, and his home-brewed autumn dew white is a must-have in the wine, and it is a famous wine in Jinan Mansion. Xu Youren, a writer in the Yuan Dynasty, once drank his family's autumn dew white, and was full of praise, and wrote a poem on the spot, "The autumn dew and white wine are hot, and the bedroom is happy." ”

Wei Zhonghui came out to toast and said: "Your Majesty, the little people are fortunate to be blessed by heaven, I really feel that the emperor's grace is good, may the Ming Dynasty survive forever, and the country will be prosperous!" ”

With Wei Zhonghui taking the lead, the merchants and officials below also made an appointment, and the horses were patted one after another, toasting Wang Jian in turn.

Wang Jian was already good-looking, and he was in a happy mood when he was touted, so naturally he did not refuse.

However, he had a small amount of alcohol, and he couldn't stand the toasts of his subordinates, and soon he got drunk.

It wasn't until Wang Jian was drunk that it was already late, and the Haitian feast dispersed in a row of peaceful atmospheres.

Originally, Wang Jian was going to listen to Yuxuan, but in Zheng Yuqiao, he said that Tingyuxuan was too small for the emperor to live, so he arranged a new garden, which was bigger and more comfortable than Tingyuxuan.

Led by several maids, the drunken Wang Jian, supported by Yao'er, sat on the dragon chariot and came to the palace newly arranged for him by Zheng Yuqiao - Qiuliu Garden.

After passing through a long corridor with winding paths, you will come to the inner courtyard, which also has a pond. In June, the weather is already early summer, and a few lotus plants in the pond are already in full bloom, and the reflection of the weeping willows ripples in the shimmer of the moonlight, which also looks a little poetic.

It's a pity that Wang Jian didn't have time to enjoy this beautiful scenery, and he just wanted to find a place to sleep beautifully. He came to a row of bedrooms in the east of the garden, but the door of the master bedroom was closed. Without waiting for Yao'er to push the door, Wang Jian kicked the door open, and the door slammed, and then he heard an exclamation of "ah" in the house. Wang Jian thought that he had drunk too much and had auditory hallucinations, shook his head and walked in.

When he entered the inner room, he saw two candlesticks on the table, and the candles on them were burning. The whole room is not like an ordinary bedroom, but like a woman's boudoir. There was a faint fragrance in the room, and on the bed of the moon cave there was a young girl in white who was sitting quietly, her hands folded flat on her lap, thinking that the exclamation was her utterance.

Because she sat sideways, Wang Jian only saw a side face, and the wine immediately woke up halfway. He only felt shocked: the facial skin was fair and translucent, a slender willow eyebrows, a pair of phoenix eyes drooped so that the eyes were not very big, but very bright, because of the sideways, her nose appeared more erect, and the whole person was more moving between breathing and breathing.

Wang Jian recognized at a glance that the person on the bed was the brocade book he had only met a few days ago-Wang Qianqian.

I haven't seen her for a few days, but she is becoming more and more bright and moving.

Wang Jian thought that he had entered the wrong room, and he was abrupt about the beauty, and he scratched his head and was a little embarrassed.

Just when Wang Jian was about to raise his legs and go out, the maid behind said: "Your Majesty, please go to bed with peace of mind, the slaves and maids have retired." With that, he withdrew.

Yao'er grew up in the inner palace since she was a child, so she naturally understood Zheng Yuqiao's intentions, and she also sensibly retreated and closed the door with her hands.

Wang Jian was also completely confused: What do you mean, this is to sleep. I didn't expect such a good thing!

He was suddenly excited, and the dragon's heart was happy.

But it didn't take long for Wang Jian to hesitate again: It's hard, it doesn't seem appropriate, but he is not good at this chat to cultivate feelings.

Just when he hesitated, the king on the side of the bed said lightly: "Your Majesty..."

Wang Qianqian was lying on the inside of the bed, leaving Wang Jian cold. At this time, Wang Qianqian was also short of breath and nervous, as a talented woman who had read poetry and books since she was a child, she really didn't know how to serve men, and more importantly, she was not voluntary, but forced by Zheng Yuqiao.

Wang Jian didn't understand the details, and under the urging of alcohol, she came to the bedside like a big bad wolf meeting a little white rabbit: This was her own volition, not me.

Anyway, the matter has come to this, Wang Jian simply climbed onto the moon cave bed, supported his head with one hand and looked sideways at the beauty.

Just when Wang Jian wanted to make further moves, Wang Qian woke up suddenly, pushed Wang Jian away and exclaimed, "Don't!! The strength was so great that he almost pushed the defenseless Wang Jian out of bed.

Wang Qianqian looked aggrieved, looked at Wang Jian with tears in his eyes, covered his chest tightly with both hands, and kept shaking his head.

Seeing that she was frightened, Wang Jian had to stop his movements extremely depressed, and he asked gently, "What, you don't want to?" ”
