Chapter 110: Eating and Drinking......

Fujian Lingba Prefecture and One Prefecture, located in the southeast coast, is an important border town of coastal trade, and is also a place where smuggling is very rampant in the Ming Dynasty. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

After decades of development, Fujian gradually formed a large commercial group called Fujian merchants, which was also the largest smuggler in the Ming Dynasty.

Although the imperial court repeatedly ordered that "pieces of armor are not allowed to enter the sea", but in the last years of Hongzhi, the system gradually relaxed, and the southeast coast of the Japanese Kou has a rampant development trend, although it does not pose a threat now, but Chen Yu knows that in the near thirty or forty years, from here, it will bring great damage to the Ming Dynasty.

As the saying goes, the southeast coast is undoubtedly the sea resources that can sustain their livelihood, and the people here can also go to the sea to fish in the past, but after the imperial court destroyed this livelihood, there is no way, and the coastal fishermen can only take risks and sneak into the sea.

However, the risk of this behavior is very high, once caught by the imperial court, if there is no backstage support, the end will be very miserable.

At this time, some large families along the coast saw business opportunities, they took advantage of the loopholes in the imperial court, and the collusion between officials and businessmen gradually grew, and a large number of fishermen were enveloped, buying smuggled salt, pig iron, silk, etc. from the mainland, and selling them to the surrounding countries such as Ryukyu, Japan, Korea, and Franco.

Although these things are common in the Ming Dynasty, once they are resold to other countries, the profits are not exaggerated to describe as sky-high.

In this way, the merchants on the southeast coast gradually developed, and now there is a climate, and it is difficult to shake their position. It has developed into a group of super large households led by the three major families of Lin, Peng and Zhe.

By the time Chen Yu arrived at Quanzhou Mansion, it was already very late, but the mansion was brightly lit, and Chen Yu wanted to enter the post station to rest overnight. On the second day, I went to the mansion to meet with Jiao Fang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites, but what I didn't expect was that as soon as I entered the Quanzhou Mansion, there was an official wearing a crimson official uniform and a peacock on his chest to greet Chen Yu and his party from afar.

There were a few people in scarlet and blue official robes standing around this person, and when they got closer, Chen Yu saw the person's appearance clearly. He is burly, with a Chinese face, and his face is very majestic. If it weren't for the embroidered poultry in front of him, Chen Yu really thought that he was a tiger general.

When the man saw Chen Yu, he smiled and said, "But Chen Zhuangyuanlang? ”

This heartfelt smile made Chen Yu feel like a spring breeze and look at others. The level is much higher than that of the bastards in Guangxi. It is worthy of being mixed with the imperial court, Chen Yu also clasped his fists and said: "Xiaguan Chen Yu has seen Master Jiao. ”

can make so many high-ranking officials crowd among them, who else is there besides Jiao Fang, the left attendant of the Ministry of Rites?

This old boy is a ruthless man, during the Chenghua period, Peng Huating, a university scholar, pushed a bachelor, missed Jiao Fang, Jiao Fang and Yan Yuese found Peng Hua and said to him. If there is no Lao Tzu tomorrow, Lao Tzu will be waiting for you in front of the noon gate.

Peng Hua was still hesitating what this old guy was going to do. Jiao Fang added, "With a knife." ”

Peng Hua almost knelt on the ground without being frightened, Jiao Fang's personality Peng Hua knew very well, and put Jiao Fang's name on the second morning, and the matter came to an end.

Jiao Fang also looked at Chen Yu carefully, although there were many meetings at the court meeting, but after all, I didn't understand, this trip to Fujian, Liu Jin secretly told Chen Yu that he was his own person, although the short meeting could not know the character of this person, but Jiao Fang still nodded to Chen Yu secretly.

Not because of anything else, just by Chen Yu's eyesight.

After finishing the salute, Chen Yucai looked flattered and continued: "It's so late, how can the subordinate Jiao Shilang personally receive it?" It's a bad deal. ”

"It's all your own family, what are you going to be a good official? Besides, this time we are all on a mission, and it doesn't matter the size of the position. Jiao Fang said with a smile.

When Chen Yu heard the words "own family", he always felt weird, at this time, Jiao Fang deliberately pointed out these three words, which must have ulterior motives.

Peng Yue, the governor of Quanzhou Prefecture on the side, said with a smile: "The two adults don't want to greet each other, the wine and food on the government should be cold." ”

"Yes, come and wash the dust for Chen Qin, Lord Chen, please!" Jiao Fang said.

Where did Chen Yu dare to make a mistake, if there was no etiquette at all, he Chen Yu would not be mixed up in the imperial court, and hurriedly looked like he didn't dare, bowed down and asked Jiao Fang to go first.

Jiao Fang was also not polite, stroked his beard, and walked first, and the group followed him towards Fuzhi.

Although Chen Yu still doesn't know Jiao Fang's personality, first of all, no matter what kind of person he is, at least this person is better than Pan Fan, and of course, he is more of an official.

This banquet cannot be said to be a banquet, it should be called "the etiquette of the envoys of the DPRK", and only the officials of the Ming Dynasty can eat, drink, prostitute and gamble into such a learned game.

Of course, Jiao Fang is engaged in etiquette, so these things are naturally easy to come by, without thinking about it, when he was slightly drunk, Jiao Fang also symbolically said a little about reception etiquette to Chen Yu.

Chen Yu really didn't know anything about the ceremony, so he listened very carefully, and Chen Yu roughly summed up Jiao Fang's key points, in fact, there is no other, that is, it is necessary to follow the traditional etiquette of China for thousands of years, as well as the virtues that a big country should have.

Jiao Fang said that as long as you think about reception etiquette according to this point, then everything is not wrong.

However, how did Chen Yu listen to it, how did he think that this Jiao Fang was particularly able to fool, and the criteria for handling affairs for the government were also clear, worthy of being an old Jianghu, Chen Yu still had a little gain.

At least when it comes to etiquette.

Jiao Fang is right, one criterion is to follow tradition, and the other criterion is not to lose the face of the great power of the imperial court, as long as you grasp these two key points and deal with the reception etiquette around these two criteria, then you will not be wrong.

After figuring out the principles of doing things, Chen Yu's mind also relaxed, the next reception and other things will not seem immature, Chen Yu is just a criterion for dealing with things in Daming, he does not lack a strong aura at all, and now it is more of a feeling of being like a fish in water and a tiger with wings.

After a while, Jiao Fang, Peng Zhifu and others got drunk, and when people were drunk, they were very arrogant, especially officials like Jiao Fang and Peng Yue.

Eating and drinking are over, so why not do the remaining two projects?

At this moment, Chen Yu is also drunk and dizzy, where can he stand up to the puffing of these old guys? The group walked towards a painting boat by the lake with red faces and thick necks.

It is said that it is a painting boat, and what is not good is a kiln.

Jiao Fang is a reserved person, when he arrived at the door of the brothel, he actually stood still, said nothing and didn't go in, and even accused Peng Yue and others of corrupting the dynasty and the low style of the world, and Peng Zhifu was also confused by Jiao Fang.

Only Chen Yu knows, where is this old guy subtle? It's just hypocrisy!

Peng Yue was really frightened, and said tremblingly: "Xiaguan...... Xia Guan is drunk, how did he come to such a filthy place? I'm ashamed, I'm ashamed, I'm really drinking and making a mistake! ”

After all, he really wanted to pull Jiao Fang away.

Jiao Fang frowned at the moment, eager to kick Peng Yue, an unpopular old bastard, to death, but his mother's words were released, how could he pull down at this moment? Damn, the little brother is waiting for you down there, you old immortal playing this trick with Lao Tzu?

It doesn't matter, Governor Peng is not on the road, there are people in the Tao, at least Chen Yu is, he said with a smile: "This, Lord Jiao, the lower officials have never seen the world, I have been tired for many days, and I will receive the Korean envoys tomorrow, it is reported that there are female officials among the Korean envoys, and we have never studied the etiquette of getting along with female officials, so I am here to find inspiration, to find a way to get along with the female official, I believe that the world will understand our good intentions!"

Those who know me are worried, and those who don't know me say what do I want? The qualifications of the lower officials are dull, I don't know if this is the reason? ”

After Jiao Fang listened, that old face was suddenly as bright as a chrysanthemum, and his heart was also an official of the imperial court, this is the reason why people can win the emperor's favor, and you, the old Peng Hangmao, have been here as the prefect!

"Yes!" Jiao Fang said righteously: "That's the reason, what Master Chen said is right, so I'll go and find inspiration soon!" ”

After Peng Yue listened, he couldn't wait to slap himself in the face, damn, he has lived to the belly of a dog all these years, it is better for a young man to come to the house, a few bottles of wine really dizzy himself, Jiao Fang is also the right waiter of the Ministry of Etiquette, who engages in etiquette, these things naturally have to have a reasonable excuse to go, otherwise what kind of system?

But the psychology is to live the dead that Jiao Fang despises, I really don't want a fucking bear face, prostitution, prostitution, prostitution, I have to come to these fancy intestines!

"Yes, yes, what the two adults said is right, presumably the female official of the North Korean State must also be very beautiful, and the official will be the east later, and give the two big ...... Oh, sir, find the prettiest one! ”

Jiao Fang pondered for a while, and then said, "Hey, that's it, for the sake of the court, the old man will sacrifice it!" ”

Chen Yu and Peng Yue immediately stood in awe, and said in unison: "Master has worked hard!" ”

It's obviously a shameless thing, but the three of them have stubbornly turned it into a national event, such as national righteousness, etiquette, and conduct, and their skills are not unskillful.

Chen Yu naturally went to deal with it, and soon came out, he still had a trace of resistance in his heart on this occasion, although he had done it in his previous life, but now he is still a child after all, he can't do it!

After waiting for a long time, Peng Yue finally limped out, with a smile on his face.

After seeing Chen Yu, Peng Yue was very surprised, but there was no trace of strange look on his face, but he silently wrote down Chen Yu's secret illness in his heart, and went back to prepare for the cook to make some bull whips and sheep whips for Chen Qincha. (To be continued.) )
