2 should be Sun Dan's first Spring Festival in this world. Zhengde Sixteen was stunned. Chinese New Year's Eve has arrived.

The snow tightened for a while, and the warm winter was replaced by a harsh cold.

Emperor Zhengde has been in very bad health lately. Sun Dan hadn't been to him for several days. On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, Bi Yun brought two brocade robes over, saying that they were given to Sun Dan by the emperor.

Bi Yun repeated the emperor's words: "It's been cold recently, and Brother Sun's body is not good, so if you are cold, you have to wear more clothes on weekdays." ”

Touching the robe, Sun Dan felt some emotion in his heart. In general, Emperor Zhengde is still a good person, and he is sincere to people. It's just that it doesn't have a good reputation in history books, and it was written in a mess by the literati. If you have the opportunity in the future, you might as well write something for this emperor to help him correct his name.

Sun Dan asked Zhengde how his health was, and Bi Yun said with tears in his eyes: "The general Cheng is groggy during the day, and his stomach hurts badly. Recently, the palace has been busy with the New Year, and it is estimated that it will be busy until after the fifteenth. Sun Dan, you won't go in until then. ”

Sun Dan nodded: "I also have some things to do at home, and I haven't been able to enter the palace recently." ”

After Bi Yun became a concubine, Sun Dan prepared to go back to the Marquis of Huichang Mansion for the New Year.

After all, he is a child of the Sun family, and according to the rules, he should go back to greet the two patriarchs and the three ladies. Since you want to go, you naturally have to take Zhiniang with you.

Zhiniang is a person with a kind personality, and her husband said that he wanted to go back to Sun's house, but she didn't say anything. I was only a little worried, and a big family like the Sun family didn't know what to say or what gifts to bring when they saw the patriarch and the wives who lived in the family. This thought made her feel so sad that she couldn't sleep all night.

At dawn, I looked at Zhi Niang's dark circles. Sun Dan smiled dumbly: "It's just going to have a meal, everyone is lively, and you can't be nervous like this." I'll go shopping with you later. If you come across something you like, just buy some and send it over. When the mind arrives, you don't need to be too particular. ”

Sun Dan is also a rich man now, but he and Zhi Niang are both casual people, and they don't pay much attention to food and clothing. Still wearing old clothes. After going to the street, Sun Dan discussed with Zhi Niang that the Sun family was a wealthy family, no matter what things were sent over, it was not uncommon for people to buy something, and they were worried about what to buy. encountered gold, this guy is elusive, although he is the shopkeeper of the Lu family, he has not appeared much in this month. Even Sun Jia, who goes to the Huguang Hall every day, has only seen him twice.

The golden face was beardless, and his face was a little unhealthy blue, and when he saw Sun Dan, he said that he had been looking for him for a few days. I asked him what he had been up to lately.

Sun Dan said that it was the New Year, so he stayed at home all day and didn't go anywhere.

Jin was a little anxious: "I said that you go out every night, why haven't you gone out recently?" ”

Sun Dan was a little alert, and only replied: "The place I went to is also busy for the New Year!" Why did the shopkeeper Huang ask about this? ”

Jin Jin was relieved: "That's too, people are also going to celebrate the New Year." By the way, Brother Sun, the palace sent a lot of orange inserts, and I brought ten baskets to you, but you are not at home, no, I will find it. ”

Sun smiled lightly: "It's just in time, I'm thinking about what to send to Sun's mansion, it's just right for me." ”

The shopkeeper Huang ordered someone to send the orange nan over, Sun Dan opened a box and looked at it, and now it was all ordinary red nan, and he suddenly lost interest. This thing was all over the mountains in the south of the later generations, and it couldn't be given away for two cents and a pound, so it could only rot on the branches in vain. However, for the people of the Ming Dynasty, it was a novelty.

thanked him and was about to move out. The gold suddenly pulled Sun Dan to a secluded corner of the street. whispered, "There is something I need to talk to you about, it's very important." ”

Seeing his solemn face, Sun Dan felt strange in his heart, and glanced at the side again, there were several people on guard beside him as if nothing had happened, intentionally or unintentionally stopping the idle people.

Sun Dan asked: "What's the matter?" ”

"It's not about money tickets."

"Hehe, I know, it's time to pay dividends. Didn't Sun Jia say that you have at least six thousand taels of dividends. What's wrong, is there anything wrong with the data? ”

"That's not it." Shopkeeper Huang gritted his teeth and said hatefully: "I got a piece of news that someone also wants to make money tickets in the capital." ”

Sun Dan was shocked: "Who is it and what is the strength?" "The profits of the money ticket business are greater than the ancients imagined, and the wealth is moving. It is certain that once the great benefits contained in the cash ticket are there, there will definitely be people who will jump out to compete with the Lu family bank. Besides, there are many rich people in the world, and as far as the sixteen big businesses in the capital are concerned, the strength of each one is not weaker than the Lu family and the Xingwang Mansion. If they are interested in competing. Things are a bit troublesome.

"I heard that it is a businessman surnamed Ping from Qingzhou."

"I haven't heard of any big business names in Qingzhou, what are you afraid of?"

Although this surnamed Ping is not strong enough, he somehow contacted six Shanxi businesses in Pingyang, preparing to make new money tickets after the Chinese New Year. The Jin merchants in Shanxi are well-known and wealthy, and naturally there is no shortage of cash. Moreover, the most troublesome thing is that this businessman surnamed Ping has a meritorious reputation, and he is the son of Shandong Zhengde for 12 years, and has a close relationship with a powerful figure in the officialdom. Heard. His advisor was Mao Ji, an assistant minister to the cabinet. Jin gritted his teeth even more: "The official* businessman * colluded with us this time to make a big trouble." ”

Gold, in fact, is Xingwangfu Huang Daban Huang Jin's heart is so anxious that it seems that there is a fire burning. Don't think about it, this businessman surnamed Ping from Qingzhou was sent by King Jianghua to the capital to operate.

If you want to do that big thing in the capital, you not only need a wide range of contacts, but also invest a lot of money.

Recently, after the Lu family went to the bank, they had more money, and it was much smoother to buy or win over key people in the capital. vaguely pressed Qingzhou down.

But it's a pity that this inexhaustible source of wealth of Xingwangfu was found in Qingzhou. King Jiang Hua was also moved, and he was also ready to get a money ticket in the capital to accumulate funds for the event. Although King Xing has a noble status, the prince of the Ming Dynasty cannot directly participate in politics, so he is naturally inferior to a powerful figure like Mao Ji, a cabinet minister. Moreover, although the Lu family is rich, it is not as good as the Jin merchants.

The Lu family was originally a firm in the south, and this time it attracted people to join the shares, and most of the shareholders were Huizhou businessmen in Huizhou, and the benefits fell into the hands of the southerners. When Jin Shang saw the benefits of money tickets, how could he not be jealous and hateful, and naturally went to King Jianghua.

In this way, the balance of power began to tilt in favor of Qingzhou.

Huang Jin was originally an ambitious person, and when he thought of this, the corners of his mouth burst into a big bubble.

"I see!" Sun Dan also felt that the obituary was a bit serious, and he couldn't imagine going to the level of political struggle. One lower

In business, it was his knee-jerk reaction to defeat competitors and monopolize this huge market. If this new opponent is allowed to grow, with the shallow financial knowledge of the ancients, it is very likely that the money ticket will become a tool for collecting money. In the end, it will inevitably harm the entire industry. Turn money bills into unattended waste paper like treasure money.

Sun Dan: "Shopkeeper Huang, Lu Bing doesn't know about this." Where is he now? ”

Huang shopkeeper: "Lu Bing knows, he has been inquiring about the news of the enemy in the past few days, to see which Jin merchants are involved, and how much silver has been invested." He also didn't think of a good way. No, let me ask you and see if you can come up with any charter. ”

"Now I'm also blindsided, what can I think." Sun Qi smiled bitterly: "Anyway, we have to wait for Lu Bing to find out the situation first." It's too early to come up with an idea. ”

"That's too." Huang Jin nodded, and then said gloomily: "These Jin merchants are really hateful. If they fall into my hands, they will be swallowed alive. Brother Sun, when we engage in Jin merchants in the future, we have to rectify those guys who see money. ”

"Jin merchants are famous, don't be ashamed to ask for money. There's a chance it's time to clean it up. Sun Dan said.

The reputation of the Jin merchants in history was very bad, especially in the last years of the Ming Dynasty, a critical moment for the survival of the nation. These greedy scumbags actually continued to export grain and iron tools from the Central Plains to the Later Jin regime. In exchange for windfall profits. It is also because of the material support of these unscrupulous businessmen that the Houjin army invaded the south again and again, and only then did the corpse mountain in the Central Plains suffer blood. Only then did there be Yangzhou ten days, Jiading three massacres.

Sun Dan believes that it is natural to make money with peace and mind, but it is not okay to betray the nation and be a traitor. If this Jin merchant group can be killed in advance, it will also be beneficial to the country.

He asked the shopkeeper Huang: "Old Huang, when are you going to get a new ticket number over there?" ”

Shopkeeper Huang: "I am preparing, and it is estimated that after the fifteenth day of the New Year, it will start." ”

"Okay, I'll think about it first and see if I can come up with a good idea."

"Okay, little brother Sun, you have a quick mind. I should be able to figure out a good way to clean them up.

Sun Dan smiled bitterly: "I'm just saying." As for what the method is, whether it is useful or not is another matter. ”

Yu Huang's shopkeeper broke up, and Sun Dan carried the bucket and rushed to Sun's mansion in the afternoon.

Red lanterns were hung all over the yard, and the faint sound of firecrackers rang out constantly.

It was the first time for Zhi Niang to enter the house, and she felt very fresh when she saw everything.

She gasped and said to Sun Dan, "Sun Lang." Why is this yard so big, and how many people can it live? ”

Sun Dan: "The Sun family has three rooms, and the master is a boy." Add together a total of two or three hundred people, you say how big a place. Don't envy them. In the future, we will also start to buy a house of this size. ”

"Well, how much does it cost, how can I say that it will cost tens of thousands of taels?"

"More than that, more than that. Thinking about the Sun family's house in the capital, this year's maintenance alone cost more than four or two. If you really want to buy a house like this, you have to spend two or three hundred thousand. ”

"So many" then I can't bear it. Sun Lang, let's still be hospitalized, although the place is enough, as long as you and I can meet every day. ”

"Even if we change to a big house, we see each other every day, you and I are husband and wife!"

Big families, especially big families like the Hou Sun family of Huichang, celebrating the New Year is not an ordinary thing. The stewards of the manors from all over the country gathered in the capital, and crowded into the mansion with a year's account book and local products, which was very lively.

And they brought a hundred sheep, fifty pheasants, two hundred ducks, and sixty pigs. Someone brought more than a dozen buckets of fresh Yellow River carp; And some people brought more than 100 catties of dried fruits of various colors......

Because Sun Dan was thinking about the money ticket, he asked Zhiniang to go to Sun Jia to play temporarily, and he chatted with Sun Zhong in the tent, waited for the reunion dinner to be dark, and then left.

As he was chatting, he saw a man rushing in from outside, stretching out his fist and slapping him on the shoulder.

A surprised voice sounded: "Brother Dan, I finally saw you, I miss my brother." ”

Sun Dan looked at it, and it turned out to be Sun Hao: "Yo, Lord Sun is back." ”

Sun Hao: "Don't come." Shaomu, who is my Sun Hao, you don't know yet. The sesame mung bean is the size of the official, and it burns charcoal. Just now we all ate the Nanzi you sent, and everyone said it tasted good. By the way, my father and second uncle are meeting guests in the lobby, and the guests have heard your name. I want to see you by name. ”

Sun Dan asked, "What kind of guest is here?" And why are you seeing me? ”

Sun Hao: "It doesn't matter much, just a few colleagues from my father's rite department, as well as colleagues from the second uncle's household department." By the way, the person who wants to see you by name is a Shandong Juzi surnamed Ping. What is it called Pingqiuli, he is a student of Mao Xiang. He said that when he was in Qingzhou, he heard that the Sun family in Shandong had two talented people. I've always wanted to see each other, but now that I finally have the opportunity, I naturally refuse to let it go. ”

"The surname is Ping, a native of Qingzhou?" Could it be him, saying Cao Cao, Cao Cao will arrive, and Beijing City is too good.

"Yes, this Pingqiuli is not an ordinary person." Sun Hao smiled: "You sent Nanzi into the mansion just now. It just so happened that this Pingju and the officials of the household department and the Ministry of Rites were all guests at my house, and after eating oranges, they all said that it was not easy to eat this fresh fruit on such a cold day. I asked where it came from, and when I asked, I found out that it was sent by you, Brother Tan. Hearing your name, this Pingqiuli suddenly said, "Could it be the Sun Dan Sun Jingyuan who wrote the "Chuan Qing Collection"?." Let us bring you over. Although this Pingqiuli is a lifter, he is quite famous. Some are Mao's protégés, and the future is limitless. He is twenty-two years old. He became famous. Originally, he was going to be a junior and enter the Hanlin Academy. Unfortunately, his father died that year, and he had to go home to serve the mourning system, which was delayed for a few years. This person has been studying in the capital for a long time, and he is very familiar with the officials of various ministries and institutes. The face of the people is extremely wide. ”

Sun Hao was a little excited, rubbed his hands and said, "Brother Dan." You're a big cow. Xiao Yang admires you very much, and now, Pingqiuli praises you again. Needless to say, Bachelor Xiao Yang will enter the cabinet sooner or later. That Pingqiuli is also going to enter the Hanlin Academy. You have to be willing to do this, and I also feel that there is light on my face. ”

Sun Dan smiled lightly, whether this Pingju person is a friend or an enemy, he wants to see himself, but he is afraid that he doesn't want to be as simple as it seems on the surface: "Okay, I'll go and meet this Pingqiuli." ”。 If you want to know what will happen next, please log in to the heart. , more chapters, support authors.
