Yesterday I posted one less chapter, and I made up for it today. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

――――――――――

Jin Mao, the head of the nylon hall, met the emperor, this is the thing that the entire nylon hall is looking forward to, although they hired a murderer to smash the machine, but there is no pressure, after this matter is clear, they feel relieved, they are not afraid of the government's investigation, involving countless people, the government will only raise high and gently put down, this is their hundreds of years of experience.

Sure enough, even the emperor has come forward, the emperor has come forward, and they are not worried about you, which means that the attention of the government means that the six ministries and the prime minister dare not care, so the emperor can only be the last appeasement, and the only thing that worries them may be to find a few leading sacrificial flags in the end.

So there are also some people who are panicked, if you want to sacrifice the flag, Jin Maocai, the head of the line, can't run, isn't the head of the line, isn't it used to do this, isn't it used as a scapegoat, but the problem is that if the government takes more than one scapegoat, so a few heads and faces, and Xingdong, who has the highest status in the nylon hall on weekdays, are also a little nervous.

As soon as Jin Maocai entered the palace, they couldn't sit still, but at this time, in order to prevent the melon field and Li Xia, everyone closed the door tightly and was very low-key, but the subordinates were all going to the Jin family and constantly inquired about Jin Maocai's news.

As soon as Jin Maocai went home, these people quickly learned the news, not only that, but they also received an invitation from Jin Maocai, and Jin Xing first invited all the Xingdong of the Nylon Hall to be in the Nylon Hall.

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, the head of the gold bank had the intention to entertain, indicating that the head of the gold bank came back safely, and it also showed that the government did not pursue it, of course, at this time, I am afraid that a sum of money will be obtained, the first is to the head of the gold bank, and the second is probably the meaning of the head of the bank, such a big thing, even the emperor was alarmed, and it is indispensable to spend money afterwards, which requires everyone to pay together.

Therefore, when the people went to the meeting, they all carried a stack of banknotes or silver tickets, and when they arrived at the nylon hall, they found that it was not only the heads of the banks who came to the party, but also almost all the big merchants of the nylon hall, from cocoon merchants to silk merchants, all the businesses of the nylon hall, not only the head of the line, but also all the famous big merchants.

Everyone couldn't help but slander, Jin Xingshou had just met the emperor, and he was engaged in such a big battle, which was too arrogant, either he was really happy, or he encountered a big event, otherwise he would not let almost all the big businessmen come.

Nylon hall this kind of business hall, is a special building, he is not only a place for businessmen to gather, but also with a religious nature, all walks of life in the hall, are worshipping different industry gods, this tradition was popular in the Song Dynasty, such as the opera industry, the Tang Ming Emperor is enshrined, the carpenter line is dedicated to Lu Ban, even the Qinglou will be dedicated to Guan Zhong or Liu Yong, there are also other gods, such as the Shanxi Hall of Commerce such a regional chamber of commerce, he worships with Wuxing is a god, Guan Gong, Jin Shang said that Guan Gong is a native of Shanxi, Therefore, the guild halls built in other places worship Guan Gong, so sometimes some local guilds are also called temples.

Because the hall is still a sacrificial temple, so there is no need to abide by the regulations of the house, the merchant has money, began to compare, many halls in order to show the strength, the scale is even comparable to the palace, the wall of the Shanxi hall is nine zhang high, and even many places are carved dragons and phoenixes, if the house has long been demolished by the government, but there is a statue of the martial saint Guan Gong sitting in the town, the government does not dare to care, otherwise it is not a saint.

The god worshipped in the nylon hall is Zhang Qian, the Zhang Qian who went to the Western Regions, the Chinese like to put various myths on the heroes who have achieved fame, legend has it that when Emperor Wu of Han sent Zhang Qian to find the source of the Yellow River, Zhang Qian took a raft to the Tianhe, and a woman gave a stone. After Zhang Qian returned to the court, he showed this stone to Yan Junping of Shanbu, and Yan was surprised to tell him that this was the stone that the Weaver Girl used to support the loom! Shortly thereafter, Zhang Qian created the silk weaving industry.

This is obviously a folklore, deliberately to the silk weaving industry to worship Zhang Qian'an a name, under normal circumstances, the silk weaving industry to worship the gods are the ancestor, is the concubine of the Yellow Emperor, the legend of the ancestor invented silkworm raising. As for the reason why Zhang Qian was revered by the silk weaving industry, it is estimated that the biggest relationship is that Zhang Qian made great achievements in the process of opening up the Western Regions in the Han Dynasty, so that the Han Dynasty opened up the Silk Road, so he was loved by the silk weaving industry.

Under the plaque with the words "Han Bo Wangzhang Hou" written next to the statue of the god in the main hall of the nylon hall, there are several tables according to the custom, but today's table is one more table than in the past, and the other three tables are already full, but the other table is not yet sitting.

Everyone is very curious, who is this invited, when the nylon hall gathers, there is also a habit of inviting outsiders, and in the past, there were thirteen lines of merchants to come.

But today I don't know who it is, the other party didn't come for a long time, and Jin Xingshou didn't show up for a long time, and slowly everyone felt that the atmosphere was a little wrong, and they guessed wildly, originally called so many people to come, everyone thought it was okay, but now this situation, it doesn't look like it's okay, call everyone here, or it's nothing to celebrate, if there is something, it's definitely not a trivial matter.

Just when everyone was panicking, suddenly a few members of the Jin family entered with a few guests in green clothes, and suddenly everyone was even more uneasy, because these people were wearing soap clothes from government officials, and these people were officials.

Fortunately, the officials did not come to arrest people, they were invited to the fourth table, this is the upper seat, these officials are distinguished guests, yes, they can settle this matter, of course, they want the government officials to help, please them, it seems that these people have made efforts.

Everyone's hearts just let go, but suddenly they became nervous again, they saw that the old man Jin came out with a few sons, the old man Jin was still dressed in brocade clothes, and it was difficult to hide the magnanimity of seeing the wind and waves, but his sons were all sad, and the most uncomfortable thing was that these sons were all wearing filial piety clothes.

When Jin Xing had the first banquet, his son was dressed in white, which was too unlucky, unless there was a funeral in his family, but if there was a funeral, then he should not attend.

No one knew what was going on, but they didn't dare to ask, today's atmosphere was obviously wrong, it was getting weirder and weirder, and even a few officers had strange faces on their faces, but they didn't dare to ask.

Old Man Jin took a big stride, not at all like the momentum of a ninety-year-old man, and kept throwing his hands to familiar friends with a smile on his face, and only after turning around did he enter the seat.

Old Man Jin gently picked up a glass of wine, and when others saw it, they hurriedly raised their glasses, and passed it from table to table, and when it reached the merchants who were sitting down near the door, they had already stood up. When everyone raised their wine glasses, Old Man Jin slowly stood up, and others didn't dare not get up.

Old Man Jin didn't drink, but turned around and bowed to the statue of Hanbo Wanghou, and spilled the wine on the ground, this glass of wine was for Zhang Qian.

The floor in the back hall of the nylon hall was immediately wet, and the color of the blue brick floor became heavier.

"Thanks to the care of the Marquis of Bowang, although life is not good now, I can live the last days of business. I hope that Zhang Hou will bless him again and reopen the Silk Road, and my descendants will not dare to cut off the blood and food offerings for thousands of years. ”

After speaking, he turned around and signaled to everyone.

But no one sat down, so Jin Maocai sat down alone, and his sons stood at the table.

Others don't sit down, they just wait for him to speak.

Jin Maocai was not restrained, and sat down and said.

"The old man is able to face the saint today, the family is very lucky, and the silk merchant is very lucky. However, the general trend of the world, how can people resist. Even if it is holy, it cannot go against the heavens. ”

When everyone heard this, it seemed that the situation of the face saint was not very good, and they did not dare to speak.

Jin Xingshou continued: "The machine reels silk, the flood beast, how can manpower resist. ”

Finally someone spoke, and a silk merchant who was sitting next to Old Man Jin, who also looked like an old man, asked.

"Didn't the Holy One reprimand the leader?"

Jin Xingshou shook his head: "At an old age, how can you be afraid of being reprimanded." What I am afraid of is nothing more than cutting off the food and clothing of future generations, and breaking the rules of the silk industry for the ages. ”

"Ladies and gentlemen, this road is forgiven to the old man and can't go down with the big guys."

Jin Xingshou's tone suddenly became depressed.

"Why did the head of the line say this, the big guy still relies on the head of the line."

Another silk merchant said.

Jin Xingshou shook his head: "The big guy carries love, but he is old and incompetent." The old decay will not be able to stop the factory silk in the future, and I advise you to put out the plan to go against the trend. ”

Hearing that Jin Xingshou had given up the previous agreement that everyone had agreed not to buy factory silk and not to be with the machine silk reeling factory, several silk merchants who were boycotting the factory silk and suffering the most serious damage stopped doing it.

"Leader, everyone listened to your initiative and launched a boycott. Although they dare not say that those foreign factories have nothing to sell, they can only do business with foreigners. Today you said you didn't block it, what is this? ”

Jin Xingshou saw a few angry descendants, but he was not angry, and he couldn't be angry.

sighed and said: "From now on, not only will you use a machine for silk reeling, but also a machine for weaving." ”

Guangzhou silk industry, in the past, all relied on hand, there are silk workshops, there are also some weavers at home weaving, some silk merchants themselves also run workshops, but also receive the products of family workshops, and some are to buy raw silk for weavers to weave, and then underwrite, in short, this line when you have me, I have you, there is no boundary.

But as soon as they heard that they still had to use machines to weave, then whether it was a big satin merchant in front of the workshop and a shop behind the factory, or a small satin merchant who bought a bag, they couldn't sit still.

"What do you mean by this, don't you want everyone to watch them grow big in the future, and everyone will wait for death together?"

Jin Xingshou shook his head: "Don't be impatient, there are many storms in the old scriptures, but this time it is extraordinarily big and fierce, listen to me, I'm afraid I won't be able to pass this hurdle this time." If you don't want to die, learn to follow the general trend. The old man has already explained, and in the future, my Jin family will also open a silk factory, and if the big guy wants to buy shares, the old man is welcome. ”

Suddenly, the silk merchants and silk merchants were a little angry, and they didn't care about the old man Jin's decades of prestige, so they made a loud noise, some of them quarreled with the head of the gold bank, and some of them quarreled with each other.

A few young people even rushed up: "Okay, if you don't go with us, you said that you should boycott foreign factories, but in the end you are going to open foreign factories, you have to give us an explanation today, and you have to give everyone an explanation." ”

Jin Xingshou's son was also annoyed, and was about to rush up to fight with a few young merchants, but Jin Xingshou waved his hand.

"The explanation is to give an explanation to the big guy. I also have to give an explanation to the government. ”

said to the few errands who were already frightened and didn't dare to speak: "The previous things were all done by the old man alone, and he had nothing to do with everyone present, and the old man did things alone. Ladies and gentlemen, please take a moment, and I will come with you after the old man changes his clothes. ”

Several errand servants hurriedly surrendered their hands and said that Jin Ye would take care of himself.

They are only the lowest level of Nanhai County, although the government has given an alternate official status, a serious nine-rank official, but I know that this is just a statement, what is the difference between it and the past officials, but Jin Xingshou is a person who can see the emperor, and he can't afford to offend.

Therefore, today the Jin family suddenly took the initiative to come to the official office to turn themselves in, saying that they were invited to get people, they thought it was a beautiful difference, and after they came, they were smart enough to realize that the situation was wrong, and the leader had already decided that if the other party did not cooperate, this person would not be arrested today.

The businessmen didn't make a fuss when they heard it, and the emotional matter was not settled, these errands were not here to eat, but to arrest people, and the old man Jin took everything down.

Everyone stopped talking, and saw Old Man Jin slowly walking into the ancestral hall accompanied by several sons.

A quarter of an hour later, there was a sudden cry from inside, and Jin Guangli, the eldest son of the old man Jin, walked out, his eyes were red, and he invited the leaders and servants to enter.

Everyone seemed to feel that something had happened, and no one dared to say anything, so they walked in honestly.

They didn't see Jin Xingshou, but they saw a coffin placed behind the statue of the god, a thick coffin made of fragrant nan wood, with detailed carvings on it, which was very fine.

Several sons held the coffin and cried bitterly, but the old man Jin was already lying inside, but he closed his eyes, his face was still ruddy, but it slowly turned white, this turned out to be dead.

A few heads with heads and faces were stunned for a moment, it turned out that Jin Xingshou said that he couldn't go down with him, not that he wouldn't do business with them, but that he would also set up a factory to reel silk and weave thick, but that he wouldn't go on the road of life.

The errand officer was also dumbfounded, it turned out that the old man Jin said that he wanted to change his clothes and go with them, so he changed his clothes and changed his shrouds.

Mr. Jin started from scratch, he didn't marry until he was forty, and he had his first son at fifty, and the eldest son Jin Guangli was only forty years old this year, but Mr. Jin knew that it was difficult to start a business, and he didn't have half a point of relaxation because of the old man, but he hoped that his son could keep his family business, and the requirements for the boss were extraordinarily strict. In addition to the old man Jin's Mao Ji silk shop, he also opened a Guangji silk village on his own.

Jin Guangli is also very sad, but unlike his younger brothers, he can still take people and things.

Suppressing the grief and indignation in his heart, he explained to the heads of the line: "This coffin was prepared by my father thirty years ago, and it is only used today. My father has a last word, and in the future, the descendants of the Jin family will not be the head of the line, and the nylon hall will rely on you in the future. The Jin family will set up a silk factory and a silk factory in the future, and if there is a place where you will be offended by mountains and rivers in the future, I hope that for the sake of the face of the deceased father, everyone can raise your noble hand. However, if everyone is interested in buying shares, the Jin family will not refuse. ”

Several leaders have a great friendship with Jin Maocai, speaking of which they are all Jin Maocai's juniors, many of them have been favored by Jin Maocai to get to the point where they are today, and suddenly witnessed Jin Maocai from a living appearance to a corpse, and felt frightened in his heart.

Jin Guangli explained to the servants again: "When my father was on his back, he said that he didn't want to go to the court at this age, and he was afraid that his body and bones would not be able to stand it, so he took the first step. ”

The errand officer hurriedly said that there was no such reason, and he went out of the ancestral hall, they secretly scolded in their hearts, they thought it was a beautiful difference, to arrest people in this kind of luxury business, not only is it a face-showing thing, but the other party's family also has to be a good life, although the government prohibits it, but often turns a blind eye, this kind of money can still be collected, but I didn't want to encounter this kind of thing.

It's a lie to say that the body can't stand it, I'm afraid it's true that this kind of big family looks down on talents, Jin Maocai is a person like this, at this age, he doesn't want to be humiliated in the hands of a knife and pen official, and the example of intentional suicide is not this one, just let their brothers meet, and they can only sigh that they are unlucky.

But I still have anger in my heart, a businessman and the like, what is the spirit, I really regard my own family as an official eunuch, phew, what kind of elephant is a pig with a green onion in his nose!

After the officer left, several of the leaders slowly calmed down and knew what was going on.

It turned out that before Jin Mao entered the palace, he was ready to die, and he planned to argue with the emperor face to face, but he was afraid that he would be connected to his family, and even sent his youngest son to Hong Kong in advance.

After returning from the palace, he confessed to several sons, left a last word, and did not intend to live. At this time, he invited all the Xingdong of Nylon Hall, and also invited errand officers, and at the same time, several sons wore filial piety clothes.

The coffin was prepared thirty years ago, the shroud was prepared ten years ago, and the cup of poisoned wine was prepared before entering the palace, and it was all used at this time.

Xingdong sighed, in the end, the old man Jin gave up his life for the sake of the big guy, this matter of Nylon Hall can not be ignored, this is not only the private matter of the Jin family, but also the official business of Nylon Hall.

Although the Jin family was not short of money, everyone still decided to give the old man Jin a large funeral. Not only all the Xingdong have to come, but also the silk households and weavers who have business dealings with the nylon hall must also be found, in the end, the old man Jin has won three years of silver for the silk households, which is a great achievement, so big that in the end they want to build an ancestral hall for the old man to be worshipped.
