Zhao Yuan frowned and shouted: "What are you doing in a daze, and you still don't accept the order?" ”

Li Chuan reacted at this time, and hurriedly threw himself to the ground, while slandering in his heart, while pondering, the emperor's reward came too easily, although Zhao Yuan was promised 200,000 taels of silver a year, but he came down without giving a reward.

Zhao Yuan took out a bright yellow scroll, unfolded it and read it in a frustrated manner.

“…… Given the same background, admire this! ”

Li Chuan didn't listen to a word in front of him, but he understood this sentence.

Born in the same jinshi?

Such a special is not an official, to give a degree of bird use, and this year is not a few hundred years later, the Jinshi who was admitted by the ability to be admitted to the professional class and the Jinshi given by the emperor are not the same thing at all, those Jinshi who were born in the professional class, they look down on the Jinshi who has just been educated by the emperor, and the great scholars would rather not be able to pass the Jinshi examination for the rest of their lives, rather than the same Jinshi given by the emperor.

But the question is, the emperor's decree has been issued, can he still refuse?

Of course, refusal can be refused, but it is estimated that no one can bear the charge of non-compliance.

Li Chuan could only pinch his nose to thank him, he was depressed for a while, and began to comfort himself again.

The same Jinshi is the same Jinshi, anyway, Master Li can't pass the exam, and now we are also people with academic qualifications, although we may be blinded by those imperial examination jinshi, but after all, with academic qualifications, we can also enjoy treatment.

What treatment?

Tax-free treatment, of course.

The scholars of the Ming Dynasty had privileges, as long as they had the fame of showing their talents, they could see the officials without kneeling, and they did not have to pay all kinds of taxes to the imperial court, and even the labor was exempted, not only Li Chuan got benefits, but even the Li family's dealers got benefits.

In these years, the landlord's family has all made a contract, and they are all slaves of the landlord's family.

Without fame, the landlord is a joke, and he has to pay taxes to the government according to the acres of land, and even have to pay labor.

And the labor is drawn according to the household, and the dealer who has signed the deed still can't run away.

Now that he has a degree from the same jinshi, Li Chuan has finally turned positive and become the real exploiting class of the Ming Empire, and all taxes and labor can be exempted, and for the Li family, it can be regarded as a glorious lintel.

You must know that Master Li's biggest wish is to take a fame and become a real squire.

Zhao Yuan observed the words and looks, and saw that Li Chuan's eyebrows seemed to be happy, so he showed a smile imperceptibly, turned around and sat down, and said with a worried face: "The world is difficult, there is a great drought in Shanxi, the hungry people have no food, the hungry people are hungry everywhere, and the people are cannibalistic, Your Majesty has broken his heart." Since you have received the emperor's favor, at this difficult time for the country, you should share your majesty's worries. ”

Damn, I'm waiting here!

Li Chuan slandered in his heart, but said with righteousness on his face: "This is the obligation of our scholars, and we should share the worries of Your Majesty!" ”

Zhao Yuan smiled and said: "Our family really didn't misunderstand you, and it was in vain to speak well for you in front of Your Majesty." In this way, Your Majesty urgently needs silver money for disaster relief, you first pay half a year's silver to our family, and then pay the rest at the end of the year. ”

Li Chuan immediately complained bitterly: "It's too much, I can't take out 100,000 silver now." ”

Zhao Yuan sneered: "How did our family hear that your goods were sold for more than 300,000 taels of silver?" ”

Li Chuan distinguished: "Those silver are not all profits, as well as the principal and borrowed money, and they will have to be purchased in the future, and those Western goods are not cheap, at most they can only take out 50,000 yuan, and the rest will be given at the end of the year." ”

"No way!"

Zhao Yuan didn't listen to his nonsense at all, and said: "I'm fat, dare to talk to our family about the conditions!" One hundred thousand taels of silver, not one of them is missing. If your majesty's disaster relief is delayed, you will not be able to cut off ten heads. ”

Li Chuan can take out 100,000 taels of silver, but he can't give it too happily.

The desire is endless, and if it is too easy to obtain, who knows if 200,000 will become 400,000.

After grinding for a while, seeing that Zhao Yuan refused to let go, he responded with a bitter face to avoid embarrassment.

Zhao Yuan achieved his goal, and his face turned cloudy and clear, and it was rare to have a smile.

After Emperor Chongzhen ascended the throne, he was much stricter than Emperor Tianqi, and he didn't learn that Emperor Tianqi sent eunuchs to loot the world, so he lived a very poor life, and Zhongguan didn't dare to let go of his hands and feet in the local area.

Zhao Yuan had the strength to eat milk in Changzhou Mansion, and he collected more than 100,000 taels a year.

Now Li Chuan will give him 200,000 yuan a year, and Zhao's father-in-law still attaches great importance to Li Chuan, so he did not hesitate to eat like an ugly person and sent out a speech, telling some people in Changzhou Mansion that this is my person, who dares to cut off our family's financial route, our family will fight hard with him.

After agreeing on the delivery date, Li Chuan was about to say goodbye, when he suddenly remembered something again.

"There can be porcelain in the palace given by His Majesty in the Father-in-law's Mansion, and I am willing to buy it at a high price."

Li Chuan thought of a way to get the imperial porcelain, so he asked Eunuch Zhao.

Zhao Yuan's face sank, and he reprimanded: "If you dare to talk nonsense again, our family will cut off your head first!" ”

"This ......"

Li Chuan was a little confused, and he couldn't understand why this old gelding was angry.

It wasn't until I got out of the Zhao Mansion that I figured it out a little.

The emperor gave the royal goods, that is, grace, even if it was just a night pot, the courtiers or eunuchs such as domestic servants should be well treasured, passed on as heirlooms for future generations, not just can be taken out and sold for money.

"Looks like we've got to think of something else!"

Li Chuan is a little regretful, if he can get the emperor's imperial porcelain, it will be millions to say the least!

Last time, I swept a lot of goods in Changzhou Mansion, and all the ginseng had been sold, and only half of those porcelains were sold, so he had no interest in ordinary porcelain, so he stayed in Fucheng for one night, and returned to Jiangyin the next day.

When I arrived in Zhuangzi, Wan Youqing, the agent of shampoo, came to the door.

"Brother Li, look at what I brought you?"

Wan Youqing's face was happy, and he asked someone to bring up a large bottle as if offering a treasure.

"It's ......"

Li Chuan's eyes widened, a little incredulous.

"Blue and white porcelain!"

Wan Youqing said proudly: "This is the blue and white porcelain you want, Wan Mou took a lot of effort to buy it from a Suzhou merchant, Brother Li is still satisfied with it, if he is not satisfied, Wan Mou will find a way." ”

"Is this really blue and white porcelain?"

Li Chuan didn't have much research on porcelain, so he couldn't tell the truth at all.

The only thing that can be seen is that this bottle is definitely not from the Ming Dynasty.

But the bottle was a bit big, and it was almost shoulder-high on the floor.

Wan Youqing said: "Blue and white porcelain. ”

"How much?"

Li Chuan asked, he was not afraid that Wan Youqing would take a fake to fool him.

Not to mention that there are no imitations at all these years, Wan Youqing will not dare to fool him if he wants to sell his Western goods.

"Money is something outside of the body!"

Wan Youqing said generously: "It's just a piece of blue and white porcelain, as long as Brother Li likes it, it should be a little bit of Wan's heart." ”

"That's disrespectful!"

Li Chuan nodded, and then instructed Li Changyue: "Take a lighter of the kind I have collected and give it to Brother Wan!" ”

Li Changyue agreed and took a windproof lighter.

Wan Youqing was a little helpless, this year's first flower celadon is nothing, far less valuable than hundreds of years later, originally he wanted to give favors, as long as Li Chuan accepted it, he would definitely take care of him after the arrival of Western goods next time.

But Li Chuan returned the gift, so he didn't owe him favors.

However, after seeing the lighter brought by Li Changyue, Wan Youqing's hands trembled a little.

This lighter is not the kind of stall that has two gold coins, but Li Chuan specially prepared a gift, a thirty gold coins, full of prices, not to mention priceless treasures in this era, it is definitely hard to find.

At least Wan Youqing seems to have more than enough lighters for ten blue and white porcelains.

But if someone really wants to exchange ten pieces of blue and white porcelain, Wan Youqing will definitely not change it.

"Brother Li, I don't know when the next batch of goods will arrive?"

Wan Youqing asked what was in his heart, which is also what all suppliers want to know.

Li Chuan said: "I don't know about this, those Westerners only know when they come." ”

Wan Youqing was helpless, and had to say goodbye after sitting for a while.

Sending Wan Youqing away, Li Chuan immediately asked people to carry the blue and white porcelain to the study.

"Be careful, or you won't be able to afford to sell you!"

Li Changyue was frightened when he saw it, and reminded him repeatedly. This bottle is worth a lot of money at first glance, I am afraid that Zhao Tiezhu and Bao Laosan will slip their hands or something, in case the bottle is broken, the young master's lighter will be given away in vain.

"Don't worry, housekeeper, you can't fall!"

Zhao Tiezhu couldn't help but mutter, it's just a bottle, and it's not the kind of floor tiles in a big box, he can easily pick it up alone, and the housekeeper has to let two people carry it, so he loves to command blindly.

"Dare to talk back, lift me up!"

Li Yuechang snorted, if it weren't for Zhao Tiezhu being carrying the bottle, he would definitely give this thing a kick.

Zhao Tiezhu didn't dare to fight back, and carried the bottle into the study with Bao Laosan in a sullen voice.

Li Chuan confessed: "In the future, no one will be allowed to enter the study without my permission." ”

"Yes, young master!"

Li Changyue agreed and immediately went down to confess.

When the family went out, Li Chuan immediately put the blue and white porcelain vase on Taobao for sale.

Haosheng referred to it, and he marked the price of 80 million.

Such a large blue and white vase, let alone seen it, I have never heard of it.

There are also blue and white porcelain sold on Taobao, but they are all high-tech imitations, none of them are real, the real blue and white porcelain is not sold on Taobao, Li Chuan has only heard that a piece of blue and white porcelain has the least tens of millions, hundreds of millions are normal, and the size of this bottle is too large, it is rare, after weighing it again and again, he conservatively marked 80 million.
