Chapter 395: Staying in Jingdezhen
On the vicissitudes of the ancient road, Li Ling took his family and thousands of cavalry all the way south, and his body was full of billowing smoke and dust. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
After Li Ling dealt with Dongying's affairs, he returned to the Ming Dynasty.
Now there is only one mainstream voice in Dongying, Dachang Qianzhuang, although the wars are more frequent, but the benefits to the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are also greater!
As soon as Li Ling and the others entered Jiangxi, they felt that something was wrong, and it seemed to be a little desolate compared to several neighboring provinces.
There are often no people on dozens of miles of roads, which is far from Zhejiang, and it is too far from the land of fish and rice in everyone's eyes.
"This King Ning is really, and he can't take care of the big fart well, so depressed, it can be seen that he usually doesn't scavenge the people's fat and people's ointment!"
Xiaoba has been following Li Ling to the south and north, and he can be regarded as seeing a lot of the market, but he doesn't dare to agree with the rule of Jiangxi, which is the south of the Yangtze River, it is clearly the northwest!
"King Ning is really a vegetarian? As soon as I entered Jiangxi, I heard many rumors, and the people said that there were bandits everywhere, although King Ning was cut off from the three guards, but there were also many guards in Jiangxi, what did these soldiers eat! ”。 Ma Qiang also began to complain.
Li Ling came to Jiangxi on an errand this time, he thought it was a rich and prosperous place, so he brought Yuemu Zhou and his wife over, how did he know that Jiangxi was such a broken place!
Ma Qiang regretted it a little!
After entering Jiangxi for a few days, Li Ling really didn't find any semicolon of Dachang Qianzhuang, it seems that what the emperor said is true, Jiangxi officials are indeed secretly boycotting Dachang Qianzhuang, maybe the mastermind behind it is really King Ning.
Seeing that the scattered silver on the few people ran out, they had to think of a way.
I don't know why, Dachang Qianzhuang can't enter Jiangxi, and the branch of Shengning Qianzhuang can't go to other provinces, as if the two sides have agreed.
Li Ling originally thought that Shengning Qianzhuang also received silver tickets from Dachang Qianzhuang, but after asking, he learned that the two silver tickets in Shengning Qianzhuang were not equivalent at all, and the silver tickets of every twelve taels of Changzhuang were exchanged for ten taels of silver or the silver tickets of Shengning Qianzhuang.
"Isn't this a pit man? What should merchants from other places do when they come to Jiangxi to do business? Do you have to endure such a big price difference? ”。 Xiao Bayi was very angry when he heard the guy introduce the customer like this, and he lost some silver taels for no reason, how could he not be angry?
"Don't say it here, it's this exchange ratio in the whole Jiangxi, if you don't like a loss, you can not change it!" The guy laughed coldly twice, and then said to Xiaoba: "Don't you know that the other merchants all brought silver into Jiangxi?" ”。
The guy looked at Hachi with a pitiful expression, as if he was laughing at him for wanting to be a businessman who didn't know anything.
"You ......".
Xiao Ba was speechless for a while, he was a dignified military attache of the court, and he was despised by a young man who ran the hall in Qianzhuang.
"Forget it. We admit it! ”。 Li Ling quietly pulled Xiao Ba aside.
Fortunately, the grain and grass of the Li Jiajun were exclusively supplied by the imperial court, otherwise it would be a troublesome matter for the army to enter Jiangxi.
Li Ling ignored the young man, walked straight to the windowsill and said to the bookkeeper: "Please exchange six hundred taels of silver tickets for me, of which one hundred taels will be cash!" ”。
Without saying a word, Li Ling handed over six silver tickets of one hundred taels of Dachang Qian Zhuang from the window.
"Still a fat sheep!". Mr. Bookkeeper took a deep look at Li Ling, there was really no one as happy as him, this was a loss of one hundred taels of silver, so he admitted it?
The shopkeeper's eyes rolled, but he didn't know what he was thinking.
"Hachi, let's go!"
Li Ling frowned as he held four Ningsheng Qian Zhuang silver tickets of one hundred taels of silver and one hundred taels of cash.
He finally understood why Shengning Qianzhuang couldn't get out of Jiangxi, this silver ticket was extremely rough, and even the anti-counterfeiting marks were set arbitrarily.
It's easy for others to imitate such a silver ticket.
In Li Ling's eyes, this silver ticket was like a blank piece of paper, and everyone could cut it into the same size.
Li Ling was very skeptical that no one had imitated such a bill.
Qian Zhuang guy is still a clever person after all, and he knows what he is thinking when he sees Li Ling's expression.
"Why, do you think we can't deceive you? In Jiangxi, this is a silver ticket, if you dare to use a fake, it is a sin to kill your head! ”。
The young man cocked his mouth almost to the sky, as if the silver ticket was something very remarkable.
"Ah Cai, don't be rude to the guests!". The bookkeeper in the window scolded the young man and continued to say to Li Ling: "This master doesn't know, although our silver ticket is not as exquisite as Dachang Qianzhuang, it also has its own uniqueness!" As long as the silver ticket issued by our bank, there is a string of twelve-digit numbers printed at the bottom, if someone takes out the silver ticket and the number of the stub does not match, he will be unlucky, so it is possible to lose his life! ”。
Mr. Ledger changed his previous indifference to Li Ling and explained to him amiably.
Li Ling somewhat understood, maybe Qian Zhuang would not check every silver ticket, but the sin of counterfeiting silver tickets was too great, and no one was willing to take this risk.
He is even more convinced that the people behind the money bank have great power.
Mr. Bookkeeper's inexplicable change of attitude made Li Ling's heart a little furious, this money bank is a little weird everywhere, it is better to leave quickly.
"This son, dare to ask you if you are in a long distance, I wonder if you have heard of our bandits here?"
When Li Ling was about to leave, Mr. Bookkeeper suddenly asked him.
He had already heard about the bandits in Jiangxi, and Li Ling even knew that most of these bandits had been subdued by King Ning, and these bandits would be the main force when he pulled the flag to rebel in the future!
However, Li Ling came over with thousands of elites, and who else dared to rob them without opening his eyes?
This matter is already a public matter in Jiangxi, but I don't know what Mr. Bookkeeper asked him to do here?
"Childe, do you want a guide? Ten taels of silver for one person, officially on sale, as long as you take it, the robbers on the road will never dare to touch you, more than ten people are eight percent off, I don't know if two are interested? ”。
Mr. Bookkeeper secretly admired himself as a genius, and his brother-in-law had not completed the task for two months in a row.
If he can't sell another 20 road guides this month, he will not only be teased and scolded by his superiors by his colleagues, but he is afraid that he will not even be able to keep his errand.
Li Ling, the fat sheep, has a lot of silver, I hope he has more companions and buys a few more road guides!
"This gentleman can't help it, I have too many companions, I can't afford this silver!". Li Ling very unceremoniously declined the kindness of Mr. Bookkeeper and left with Xiaoba!
"I don't know what to do!". Seeing Li Ling go out, the smile on the bookkeeper's face immediately froze, and he said to the young man: "Ah Cai, you go out to inquire about the whereabouts of these two people, and let the people in front of you 'take care' of them. ”。
Mr. Bookkeeper sent the guy away, but he began to curse Li Ling and the others in his heart. If you don't give yourself face, it's better to let them work as coolies for the rest of their lives!
In less than half an hour, the young man hurried back, and he immediately said to the bookkeeper: "Sir, the big thing is not good, they, they are followed by thousands of people!" ”。
The young man followed Li Ling and a few people out of the city, and he finally saw the Li family army stationed outside the city, he had a long eye to see how many people there were, but there were too many troops, and he couldn't count it with his money bank's guy's brain!
Mr. Bookkeeper wanted to blame the guy for acting recklessly, but he was also stunned after listening to the other party's report.
He blurted out the name of an official position: "Governor of Zhejiang, he is Li Ling!" ”
On behalf of the imperial court, the governor of Zhejiang inspected the military affairs of several provinces, and it is not an exaggeration to say that he was a minister of the Qincha.
Mr. Bookkeeper had already received an order from his boss to report the news of this group as soon as he had it.
I didn't expect Li Ling to really pass by his territory, this is a credit from God!
"Ah Cai, you hurry up to the backyard and invite the shopkeeper here to let him watch the business, I have important things to do!"
The bookkeeper gave a few admonitions, and left the bank without waiting for the young man to answer.
Li Ling brought enough silver taels, and it was easier to inquire about the news from the people, as long as a few taels of broken silver were rewarded, no matter what news he wanted to know.
After a long time, he realized how terrible the bandits in this place were, and almost every village had been kidnapped by bandits.
These people haven't even been home for years, and everyone speculates that they may be dead!
"It's disgusting!". Ma Qiang punched the wheel of the car and said hatefully: "Thieves are rampant, don't King Ning ignore it?" ”。
He thought in his heart that when he arrived in Nanchang, he had to ask the eldest young master for a group of men and horses to exterminate these thieves!
"Ma Qiang, you are too nonsense, what should you do if you disturb your mother!". The carriage shook for a while, and Zhou Shiyu, who was sitting inside, stopped doing it, and she began to reprimand her husband.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!". Ma Qiang hurriedly apologized.
He usually only remembers that his father-in-law died for the eldest young master, and if the two quarrel, his colleagues may not necessarily help him.
"Yu'er, don't mess around!". Zhou began to scold his daughter, how could a wife say that her husband was not.
Zhou Shiyu blushed and smiled silently, she was content to be able to marry a husband who understood her.
"Young Master, we haven't had a good rest since we entered Jiangxi, either we have encountered such trouble or encountered such trouble, in front of us is the famous Jingdezhen, why don't we rest here again?" Xiao Ba followed Li Ling's saddle and waited for so many days, and he was also tired.
Li Ling agreed, and he also wanted to take a good look at Jingdezhen.
There are even porcelain from the north on the wharf of Ningbo Prefecture, but there is a lack of porcelain from Jingdezhen, which is very puzzled by him.
This is far from his impression, as far as he knows, there is more than one company in Jingdezhen that can produce porcelain, there are official kilns and private kilns.
But with so many porcelain factories, why didn't they sell porcelain to Ningbo?
About twenty miles away from Jingdezhen, a checkpoint blocked the way for pedestrians, and before Li Ling and the others could step forward, they saw an old man and a sentry blocking the road theorizing.
"I said Daddy Sun, don't embarrass us, you can go out if you want to, but you have to buy a road guide, otherwise there will be a death in the middle of the road, how can you let us take this responsibility for such a big thing? Brother Sun An is missing, you are gone, how can I explain to Sister Die'er? ”。
"I said that when you were young, you ate our family and took our family, and now Daddy, can't I let you help? Could it be that you also think that our family is down, and you can't draw a line with us? ”。
The soldier on the sentry card and the old man Sun obviously knew each other, and the sentry wanted to sell the guide to the old man according to the rules, but he was refused.
"Good boy, you also know the situation of our family, where am I going to steal ten taels of silver for you now?".
Father Sun was angry but decided to break in, but of course the sentry disagreed, and the old man was overturned to the ground by the sentry between the two of them.
"Daddy Sun, why bother, I am also acting on orders, don't make trouble for me!" The sentry hurried to help Father Sun.
"Young Master, are we bringing the army over to break through this checkpoint?" Xiao Ba didn't know if these sentinels would ask them for directions, so he asked Li Ling for instructions.
"Let's do it when the opportunity comes!". Li Ling didn't think that these sentinels would deal with him, judging from the way they treated Father Sun, these people were not particularly evil.
Several people slowly walked to the front of the level.
"Who are you? What happened to Jingdezhen, and who was in the carriage? ”。
Li Ling was intercepted as soon as he walked in front of the checkpoint!
"This is my young master, and there are all female dependents sitting inside, we want to take Jingdezhen to find relatives!"
Hachi stepped over first and said the lines he was thinking.
"Let's go in, people in Jingdezhen are not allowed to go out of Jiangxi, but there is no obstacle to enter!" Unexpectedly, the sentry did not stop Li Ling and the others, and generously let them enter Jingdezhen.
"Daddy Sun, go back too, don't make yourself uncomfortable, it's still the same sentence, don't plan to go out if you don't buy a road guide!" The sentinel drove Daddy Sun back again.
At the age of fifty or sixty, it is not very convenient for Daddy Sun to walk after being thrown to the ground!
Li Ling asked people to find a docile white horse, helped Father Sun to the horse, and returned to Jingdezhen together.
Along the way, Father Sun introduced the situation in Jingdezhen to Li Ling.
Jingdezhen now has an official kiln as the Imperial Imperial Ware Factory, and there are six other private kilns.
With horses to travel, Li Ling soon walked to Jingdezhen.
It's just that it's not the same as he remembers, there are no busy crowds, and there are no porters coming and going.
"Let a few laugh, the current emperor is Mingjun, naturally unwilling to use gorgeous porcelain, since his old man succeeded to the throne, this Jingdezhen began to decline!". Father Sun explained helplessly to everyone.
Although Li Ling felt that Father Sun had something to say, he didn't continue the topic anymore!
