Xu Kun walked very slowly, and finally arrived in Nanjing. Although Jinling City is also one of the most prosperous places in the world, compared with Suzhou and Songjiang, it is a little more domineering and three points less gold-dusted smoke. And the most fashionable things in the world are from Suzhou and Songjiang, so there is a saying of "Su style", which makes Xu Kun anxious, and he only feels that his quality of life has dropped a lot.

So, today I sent someone back to get an incense burner, and tomorrow I sent a book to ask someone to send a jade cup, which really made the slaves on this side of Songjiang busy for a while.

Xu Sheng naturally took this opportunity to pack up aggressively. Others thought that he had a letter from Master Kun and wanted to send it to Jinling, so naturally he wouldn't ask more. However, no one knew that these things were sent to Xu Yuanzuo.

Xu Yuanzuo is such a smart person, he only let him pile up a rented empty room, and then turn back to his new house in Songjiang, unaware.

This house faces the river and is close to the water gate, which is a secluded place in Songjiang. There are only two courtyards in front and back, and a small two-story building in the middle. A kitchen in the backyard and a side room. It's about the same as Juri's house, and it's very affordable.

Cheng Zai was originally worried that Xu Yuanzuo was too small, but Xu Yuanzuo was very satisfied. The main thing is that the wharf through the backyard is for its own exclusive use, and the owner also half sells and half gives away a small boat, which is a Shaoxing-style foot rowing boat. Xu Yuan Zuoquan is a game, and he has a lot of fun, and he looks good for most of the day.

Such a house with a pier and a pleasure boat near the river cost a total of one hundred and sixty taels of silver. If converted according to the price of rice, it is less than 50,000 yuan.

The furnishings in the house are naturally moved from Xu Kun's private house, and the wood and workmanship are naturally first-class.

Xu Yuanzuo spent two hundred taels himself. I bought a large relief bed of Hainan Huanghuali from Suzhou, which is almost like a small room. It is only because of this that he knew that in this era, people who are particular about it have begun to distinguish between Qiongzhou yellow sandalwood and Jiaozhi yellow sandalwood, the former is the sea yellow of later generations, and the latter is the slightly inferior price of Yue Huang.

The boss met with a big customer. Desperately popularize the difference between the two types of wood. Xu Yuanzuo combined with the statements of later generations to verify, and asked Cheng Zai to recommend an expert palm, so he bought it. It sounds like Xu Yuanzuo is very cautious in spending money, but judging from the house, this bed is a high-end luxury, and he only paid the full amount after only seeing it twice, which is really a local tyrant.

In addition to furniture, Xu Kun collected guqin, famous paintings, inkstones, porcelain, and rare books...... It is also a high-end luxury item of this era.

Xu Yuanzuo was a little surprised when he began to see the guqin, and a Ming qin could be sold for hundreds of thousands of millions in later generations. But how much was the Ming Dynasty qin worth?

After asking, I realized that I had more knowledge and less culture. The master of the same era could sell a high-grade qin for hundreds of taels of silver. If it is a fine piano cut by the late master, it can easily exceed a thousand taels. If you want to say that the famous piano in the Tang and Song dynasties may be worth tens of millions in later generations, it can be considered to be still available no matter what. But now, it is passed down from father to son, and it won't even let outsiders look at it.

In contrast, Wen Zhengming and Tang Bohu's calligraphy and paintings are almost the same as New Year's painting calendars.

Xu Yuanzuo has this in mind. I know why Xu Kun, who is not an elegant person, will make a cabinet for hanging the piano. The three pianos here are all cut by the senior masters. No matter which bed you have, you can replace it with ten sets of Xu Yuanzuo's new houses.

After accepting the popularization of guqin knowledge, the inkstone also refreshed Xu Yuanzuo's three views, and the Song book was sold at a high price.

……

"Now it looks like it's quite hidden in the city." Cheng Zai went to Songjiang again and was a guest at Xu Yuanzuo's new house. Looking at the furnishings of the house, I just sighed in my heart how strong the heritage of the old house is.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled but did not speak.

Cha Cha served tea to the host and guest, and Ying Ying bowed and withdrew.

Cheng Zai stared at Chacha's back for a long time, and then said, "This maid is well-behaved." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said indifferently: "If Brother Bo Xi likes it." I gave it to my brother. ”

"No, how can you win people's love?" Cheng Zai knew that this was Xu Yuanzuo's private house that was not open to the public, and all the good things were placed, and he thought that this maid was also Xu Yuanzuo's heart, so he naturally didn't dare to accept it.

Xu Yuanzuo smiled and didn't force it, how could there be a hard stuffing gift?

"Jinglian." Cheng Zai took a sip of tea and said in a low voice: "The Yuan family is in a hurry now. ”

Hai Rui is located in Songjiang Mansion, and the first fire is to clear the acres of fields.

Zhen Zhenji is a clean official, but he is not a stupid official, how can he not know that once he attacks the wealthy family in Songjiang, don't count on the taxes in the autumn and summer this year. The prefect is unwilling to take the lead, and the following prefects are willing to work hard?

Shanghai's Zhang County Decree said that there were floods at both ends in three days, as if there was really a flood, and that the river must be dredged first, and there was no mention of measuring acres of land at all.

The Huating Zheng County Order was also prepared for a long time, emphasizing that private teeth were rampant, which seriously affected the court's commercial taxes and the pitiful profits of small merchants, and it must be strictly investigated. For this reason, he sent almost half of the county government office. Hai Rui looked at the empty Huating County Ya, who can he pull to work?

As soon as Zheng Yue's side moved, Xu Yuanzuo naturally had to follow suit. In the final analysis, the scribes in Huating County can help build a shelf and strengthen their momentum, but the technical work of auditing can only be handed over to technical talents. Xu Yuanzuo pulled out five of Xia Wei's account rooms and divided them into five groups, one with two apprentices, with a group of people from the county government, and went to work in the name of an official.

Zheng Yue was a little unhappy when he saw few people at first, but after seeing their work efficiency, he couldn't help but admire.

On the other hand, the Yuan family was not happy.

The family's private tooth shop and boat port were blocked and inspected by the county officials, and a lot of silver was stuffed into it, but it still failed to settle down.

"So does Yuan Gong know that it's my people who are helping the county government check the accounts?" Xu Yuanzuo asked, but his heart was clear: I must have known, so I asked Cheng Zai to talk about it.

"Yuan Gong has heard a little." Cheng Zai generously admitted: "So what Yuan Gong means: three percent of dry stocks." ”

Xu Yuanzuo tilted his head slightly and said, "Let's do this...... Sixty percent. ”

Cheng Zai thought that he was in Yuan Ying's heart in Xu, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with Xu Yuanzuo's lion opening his mouth, but said: "If it is sixty percent, I am afraid that the Yuan family will not be willing." ”

Xu Yuanzuo said: "It is appropriate for him to give me thirty percent." But I have to give some to Renjutang. ”

"Renjutang?" Cheng Zai didn't understand very well why he had to share the money in his pocket with others.

"The new Renshoutang, in addition to the tax package, must also have some support for the industry, otherwise how to benefit the township? And I think it's more appropriate to use Renshoutang to register and ask for an official tooth license. Xu Yuanzuo slowly rolled out. (To be continued......)
