185 First Sight of Wanli
The fireplace mainly includes the mantelpiece, the fireplace core and the flue, the kind of modern fireplace is impossible, Yu Jin is the use of the ancient European fireplace, let people use copper pipes to conduct heat, simple and good.
The design is simple, but the charge is not simple.
Yu Jin divided the fireplace into two forms, the deluxe version and the ordinary version, the deluxe version is a beautiful masonry structure, there are bluestone and marble arch options, the ordinary version is a wood structure, there are two kinds of ordinary wood and mahogany, the fee ranges from 300 taels to 1,000 taels.
The officials of the Ming Dynasty are not high, but the gray income is very good, as if they are afraid of losing face, they don't pretend to be expensive, and there is only one requirement, that is, the sooner the better, and some are still arguing for the queue.
At this time, the benefits of pulling the two goods of the Xu family into the team are reflected, let them come forward if there is anything, the most important thing is to collect money quickly, no one dares to deliberately find ballast, and no one dares to grab business.
And these two goods also enjoy the feeling of the stars hugging the moon, and Yu Jin hid behind alone to make a fortune.
Yu Jin found out that the upcoming Tanzhe Poetry Meeting is mainly divided into three parts, namely flower appreciation, wine tasting and competition.
Flower appreciation is naturally to enjoy the scenery, Tanzhe Temple has a long history, after several rises and falls, since the Ming Dynasty, every emperor will allocate funds to maintain and repair the tower, the scenery here is beautiful, there are intoxicating scenery in all seasons, in winter, the plum blossoms behind the mountain will bloom particularly bright and beautiful, known as the last place to enjoy the plum in the capital.
At that time, the black-clothed prime minister Yao Guangxiao chose to live in seclusion here, that is, the later generations still kept the room where he lived that year, called the young master Zen room, it is said that Yao Guangxiao liked the plum blossoms here.
Whenever the plum blossoms are in full bloom, Yao Guangxiao will cook a pot of fragrant tea in the pavilion with the presiding master of Tanzhe Temple, and put a chessboard on it. Taste fragrant tea to watch the plum blossoms in the snow, hold black and white to talk about the world, when the interest comes, the beautiful scenery is against the poem, the inspiration is bursting, and the ink is splashed on the paper.
How fast.
After the story was circulated, many literati and scholars followed the example of the ancients. Slowly formed a rally, eight years ago, with the strong support of King Jing, it became prosperous, and finally became a major event in the capital's literary circle.
Literati gatherings, naturally indispensable to show off each other's literary talents, compete with each other, flower appreciation is just pure appreciation, but also brewing their own emotions, and wine tasting is a stage for a scholar to make a name for himself, which also has an allusion.
To say that you want to write poetry. The most famous is the poet fairy Li Bai, who wrote countless poems in his life, and he likes to write poems while drinking, known as a hundred poems about fighting wine, so the party set up this link, so that the participating talents can taste wine and appreciate poetry.
This wine is not a loose wine on the street, there are palace imperial wine sent by King Jing, aging wine sent by well-known wineries and newly launched new wines. Everyone knows that this is an excellent platform for publicity, which is conducive to expanding their own popularity.
On the day of the Tan Zhe Poetry Meeting. Many tourists also come here, including many girls in the boudoir, they also take advantage of the excellent reason to incense, to see if they can meet the best couple in their minds, and by the way, appreciate the masterpieces of the talents for the first time.
Whenever there is a good work, there will be a subordinate to copy it down and send it to the outside to post. Estimated for tourists and spectators to appreciate.
The fragrant wine and the flocking beauties made those talents greatly encouraged, and they all wanted to be brilliant, so the competition in the poetry club became more and more fierce.
After appreciating the flowers, after tasting the wine. In the end, there is a high and low score, which is the championship.
The poems written during the wine tasting are not limited to the subject matter, and some people even take a long time to prepare, and it is not excluded that some people buy poems at a high price, and then they will push an impromptu proposition of a respected person, and let those talented people compose poems on the spot, so that which one is high and which one is low, it is clear at a glance.
The poems with the highest evaluation have the opportunity to get a mysterious gift from the preparatory team, which is different every year, with a rich silver tael, a beautiful woman, a house, a set of precious four treasures of the study, etc., in short, everything is possible.
Yu Jin inquired about the whole process, and he had to marvel at the wisdom of the ancients.
It can be said that it is exhaustive and takes care of many people, if it is really good at the beginning, it is estimated that the scale will definitely not be large, the reason is very simple, not everyone has real talent and learning.
The safflower should also be lined with green leaves.
This year's Tan Zhe Poetry Club is already being organized, and those who read are starting to be busy, and those who have not been invited have done everything possible to support the relationship, and those who have been invited are racking their brains to think about how to be brilliant.
Only Yu Jin is an exception.
The above appointment has not yet been issued, Yu Jin is still a school book, and he needs to go to Yuwang's mansion every day to serve as Yuwang's secretary, Zhang Juzheng announced that after class, he will follow up the fireplace project in the renovation, and from time to time he will go to the outlying islands to check the production and security of the mirror.
This is a cash cow that cannot be slackened in the slightest.
It is said that women's money is the best to earn, and the popularity of Taisheng Mirror is getting higher and higher, many women are proud of owning a Taisheng Mirror, and some businessmen outside the fan also regard Taisheng Mirror as a treasure, and they have bought it at a high price, and the price is getting higher and higher.
I heard that some concubines in Yuwang's Mansion couldn't resist the temptation, and secretly sent the mirror that Yuwang gave them out of the palace for sale.
However, when the mirror was produced, the silver of Taisheng Commercial Bank was ready, but Yu Jin did not ship it for a long time.
I don't see Qing'er in a hurry, but King Yu is in a hurry
Presiding over the autumn festival was an inducement, and the Tatar mission was a start, and King Jing and King Yu competed twice, one win and one loss, which was considered a tie.
A tie does not mean that he will give up, King Jing is not willing to admit defeat like this, but will be more powerful.
After the separation, without the permission of the emperor, can not leave the fief at will, although it can not go to the capital, but does not prevent King Jing from contacting the palace people, in order to show his filial piety, King Jing continued to write letters to Jiajing and the palace, and sent people everywhere to Jiajing who likes alchemy to collect natural treasures, but also to the elders in the palace to write letters to ask for warmth, and then send all kinds of treasures, so that the people in the palace say that King Jing has filial piety.
Jiajing received a few rare materials from his son for alchemy, and he was also happy.
Constantly encircling courtiers and winning the hearts of the people, he also constantly created trouble for King Yu, bribed King Yu's allies, and hit King Yu's prestige, King Yu was unwilling to be restrained, and fought back with the help of Gao Gong and Zhang Juzheng.
The three armies did not move, the grain and grass went first, and Yuwang accepted a donation of 100,000 taels of silver from Zhejiang merchants again when preparing money and silver.
Needless to say, Xu Jie has contributed a lot.
"Yu Xiaoshu, how is the progress of the Taisheng Mirror on the outlying islands?" After a lecture, Zhang Juzheng was in a hurry to return to China to deal with affairs, and King Yu couldn't help but ask Yu Jin.
"It's going well, the tacit understanding of the craftsmen is getting better and better, and the output has been steadily increasing, and now it can make more than 300 noodles a day."
Hearing this, Yuwang said excitedly: "Now the price in the market is very good, some foreign businessmen, each mirror out of the high price of one hundred taels of silver, that day's output value is 30,000 taels, a month of three or four hundred thousand taels, God, Yu Xiaoshu, when are you going to ship?" ”
In order to reverse this situation, King Yu also personally visited Xu Jie, asked him to come forward to raise funds, and spent money every day like running water, and King Yu's eyes lit up when he heard the silver now.
If you have an output value of 30,000 taels a day, it is 30%, and you can get 10,000 taels a day.
Tens of thousands of taels of silver, or a day's distribution, Yuwang's eyes turned green when he heard it.
What you earn and what you reach for are two different things.
He is also a layman who does not understand the laws of business.
Now the outside Taisheng mirror is so expensive, there are two reasons, one is the exquisite workmanship, the quality is more breakthrough than similar goods, and the other is that the scarcity is expensive, the Ming Dynasty has a population of 10,000 people, and the gift is about 100 mirrors in circulation, which is seriously in short supply.
Coupled with the deliberate speculation of Taisheng Commercial Bank, it is not surprising that the price is high.
However, once more is put into the market, the relationship between supply and demand is stable, people's freshness decreases, and the price will fall.
Daming has a large population and more poor people, so how many people can afford it at such a high price?
Yu Jin understood King Yu's thoughts, and said that eating people is soft-mouthed and short-handed, even King Yu is no exception, so he has been waiting for Yu Jin to surprise him.
Now the finances of Yuwangfu are very bad.
Facing King Yu's hopeful gaze, Yu Jin shook his head and said, "Your Highness, Xiaguan does not plan to sell these Taisheng mirrors in the near future. ”
"Ah, why?" Yuwang said in surprise.
If you have money, you don't make money?
Yu Jin smiled slightly, looked left and right, and whispered a few words in Yuwang's ear.
Soon, King Yu's puzzled fat face slowly became relieved, and then slowly bloomed, hesitated, gently patted Yu Jin's shoulder and said, "Yu Xiaoshu is really resourceful, okay, this matter depends on your will, if there is a need, just find this king." ”
"Your Highness."
"Father"
"Father"
Suddenly, a childish child's voice came from outside the window, and as soon as he heard this voice, Yuwang, who was smiling at the beginning, smiled brightly, and the whole person seemed to have a glow all of a sudden.
Shao Lean, a beautiful young woman accompanied by four palace maids, holding a child to salute King Yu, King Yu laughed, took the child from the young woman's arms, and then asked: "He Niang, how do you bring San'er here?" ”
"Back to the prince's words, it was the little prince who was clamoring to see the prince, and he didn't agree no matter how he persuaded him, and the slave heard that the prince had finished teaching, so he dared to bring the little prince here." He Niang replied cautiously.
At this time, the pink-carved jade peck child in King Yu's arms hugged King Yu's neck with both hands, and said coquettishly: "Father, don't scold the nurse, it's the child who is crying and coming, Father, okay." ”
"Okay, good, good, my son is so good, he knows how to maintain the nurse at such a young age, hahaha, no punishment, no punishment." King Yu laughed happily and immediately agreed.
Looking at the little kid in King Yu's arms, who was pecking pink jade and dragging his snot, Yu Jin felt a thrill in his heart: this was the famous Wanli Emperor in later generations.
Big eyes, small nose, tiger head and tiger brain, looks pretty cute. (To be continued......)
