474 to open the big market to Beijing!

So they had to find the help of Cao Huachun, a famous "warm-hearted person" in the palace, and then found Cao Ruyi through Cao Huachun, and then went to the Yi Hotel together to find Chen Tao, the messenger of the short máo...... Chen Tao is very talkative here, saying that since you want to use it in the palace, there is still half a car left here for you to tow away first, but there is no more.

But the chief eunuch of the imperial dining room is experienced, but he knows that things are not so simple - this officialdom has always paid attention to "no examples, no prosperity, no examples, no waste". Your imperial dining room either does not buy fresh goods at all, and once you enter the first batch, if you have a precedent, if you break it again...... Although Concubine Yuan didn't say that she would continue to do so at the moment, when the time came, once the imperial dining room stopped supplying fresh goods, most of them would attract inquiries - why could you still come when it was cold before, but now it is not?

Even if you can put the blame on the short máo, if you can't find the short máo trouble, then most of this anger will still be sprinkled on your head - this is not good to be a slave, although there are many times when you can be a fox, but there are many times when you become a punching bag and are angry.

They had to be cheeky and ask Chen Tao, can they let Qiongzhou continue to deliver food in the future? Chen Tao is a little unhappy at this time - this is sent by the brothers in the rear to improve our lives, which makes people affectionate, and it is our duty not to let it. As a result, I didn't eat much myself, and almost gave it to you, and you still want me to ask for it again?

Finally, after Chen Tao's tempering in these days, he has been more tactful in dealing with people, and he did not refuse directly, only saying that he had already asked for it once, and he was embarrassed to cause trouble to his friends in the rear. If you have a demand, send someone directly to Qiongzhou Mansion to buy, as long as the price is high, presumably Hainan will be very willing to send a steady stream of vegetables.

When the two eunuchs heard this, they secretly pouted - although it was only five years of Chongzhen, everyone in the Forbidden City already knew that their emperor was an extremely frugal man. Not to mention anything else, even the daily clothes are sewn and mended by the palace concubine, the reason why Concubine Tian is favored is because she is particularly good at needlework, and there is no trace of the mended clothes, and the emperor's daily clothes are often sewn by herself.

Fresh vegetables are a good thing, but it would be unrealistic to agree to buy them today. They didn't have this extra money at all, and they couldn't have asked for money from above. Concubine Yuan's request was very simple, and if she really asked her for money, she would definitely be kicked back. They don't do anything to scold.

So the two eunuchs turned around and went to Qian Qianyi again, hoping that he could come forward to talk to the people of the Qiong Navy, and let those short máo show their loyalty and patriotism again, and make a tribute. As soon as Lao Qian heard this joke, my doctor had nothing to do to help you ask for food in the imperial dining room? Although he is now much more flexible in dealing with people and knows the importance of maintaining a good relationship with the eunuchs, it is impossible for him to do such a lowly thing, and it will not become the laughing stock of the entire Shilin! It is bound to be trumpeted and attacked by political opponents, and this kind of stupidity cannot be done.

However, of course, Qian Qianyi would not directly refuse the other party, but just smiled and said: It is inconvenient to go out of Beijing in the next day. But you can fix a book, and you might as well send someone to Hainan to talk to the people of Qionghai Town to explain the current situation clearly, and the leaders of Qionghai Town are reasonable and resourceful, and they will definitely be able to solve your difficulties.

Lao Qian's eloquence is so good, and after saying something, the eunuch and Cao Huachun, the head of the imperial dining room, were both dizzy and felt quite reasonable. So as soon as the two of them combined, they each sent a godson out and went straight to Tianjin with Qian Qianyi's letter of introduction...... The Ming Dynasty's control over eunuchs was relatively loose, unlike the later Qing Dynasty, which strictly stipulated that eunuchs could not leave Beijing, and violators were immediately beheaded.

…………

Originally, the port on this side of Tianjin was only used for the army and Cao Yun, because it was too close to Beijing, and the control was extremely strict, and it was basically closed to foreign ships. For a while, when Haicao was opened, it was still lively, but once the Grand Canal was restored to traffic and Haicao was closed, the role of Tianjin Port was greatly reduced. Moreover, in the Ming Dynasty, both officials and merchants, most of them did not have the habit of traveling by sea, so there were few foreign routes here.

But as the saying goes, there is no road in this world, and the more people who walk, the more people naturally form the road - and the same is true of sea routes. Since the ships of the Qiong Navy went straight from Hainan to Tianjin several times, the locals have also begun to face up to the convenience of this sea route. The two eunuchs arrived with a handwritten letter from the chief of the capital, and easily found a boat here and set sail, although the speed was not as amazing as the schooner of the Qiong navy, but they finally had a smooth journey to Hainan Island......

After getting off the boat, the two of them asked the head of the Qiong Navy everywhere, and heard that all the batches had been changed in just one month, and the two of them suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that there had been a coup d'état here, and they didn't know if their lives could be saved-like Wang Pu before, it seems that the people of the Ming Dynasty had similar ideas.

However, later, Julie and Lin Feng, who were familiar with them, were sent to come forward, and finally clarified the misunderstanding, and everyone officially sat down to negotiate. Cao Ruyi took out Qian Qianyi's letter and explained his intentions. Only then did everyone on Hainan Island know that the two boatloads of fruits and vegetables they sent to Chen Tao would actually cause such a huge storm in the capital, and also caused such a thing......

It was customary for the members of the committee on the island to gather to discuss the matter, although others also had the right to attend meetings and have their views. However, most people usually don't bother to come, after all, the power of the so-called "committee" is mainly to manage all kinds of chores and trivial matters, and if it is not their own business, there are not many people who are willing to waste time in this way.

There were a few idlers who were once interested in collective matters, but now they are full members of the committee. And most of the members of the previous committee members, because the old man said that he should try to train new members as much as possible, did not meet at such times - except for Hu Wen, who tried to attend such meetings as much as she had time.

As soon as the meeting began, Xiao Lang immediately expressed his opposition to the two eunuchs' demands - they didn't think about paying at all, and they still wanted to make this side "pay tribute". I always feel that the dignified tomorrow dynasty is not too much to ask you to shorten a few boats of vegetables, right?

As everyone knows, they are all people who are accustomed to thinking about problems with the mind of the market economy, and they have never been afraid of the authority of the Ming Dynasty. If it is the previous management committee, it is generally quite good for the Ming Empire, and some additional requirements for the Ming Dynasty may also be accepted. But most of the new electors in this term belong to the pragmatists, and the question is very straightforward: is there any benefit? Resolutely do not do anything that is not beneficial!

First of all, I asked about the attitude of the comrades in the agricultural group and the navy, after all, they are directly responsible for providing vegetables and related transportation. After some consultation, Wu Youfu and Wang Ruobin were indifferent to providing an additional batch of vegetables and fruits to the north - anyway, they were going to send supplies to Weihai in Shandong on a regular basis. At that time, it is only necessary to enlarge the size of the supply fleet a little and arrange a few ships to run a little farther, and it is easy to reach Tianjin.

Technically, it depends on whether it is worth it in terms of economy and politics, and there are two opinions among those who participated in the discussion:

"A little vegetable is worthless, but if you open your mouth like this, you will take yourself too seriously. Besides, our schooners can't do this kind of thing all the time, telling me to tell them to fuck off. ”

Xiao Lang made his attitude clear as soon as he came up, and he was echoed by several people, in their opinion, there is no need to be so polite to the Ming Dynasty, anyway, this is a dynasty that will perish sooner or later, even if you don't want to be an enemy of it, there is no need to respond to almost everything you want from the previous committee, stay on the island and develop with peace of mind, and wait for it to receive the inheritance after it is finished.

However, there are also people who think the opposite, such as Julie, Hu Wen, Lin Feng, and Shi Yisheng, who used to fight with the Ming Dynasty a lot, all advocate not treating the Ming envoys so bluntly - although these two eunuchs do not represent the imperial court, they can also be regarded as the emperor's envoys. At the moment, the relationship with them is not bad, and it is not in vain to spoil the previous efforts for this kind of xiǎo thing for no reason?

On the other hand, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, the business circle of Beijing is not so easy to enter. Although they have released ships to Tianjin several times before, their efforts to establish a formal commodity transshipment point there have been difficult to achieve. And now, since the Forbidden City has a demand here, it is just right to establish the trade route from Hainan to Tianjin to Beijing in a bright light.

With just a few boatloads of vegetables as a brick, you can enter the Beijing market, which is simply too cheap!

"If you can manage to sell them the vegetables instead of giving them away for free, then I'm fine!"

Xiao Lang rarely expressed Xiàn's reasonable attitude, and Julie also expressed Xiàn's Xiōng Chengzhu:

"Don't worry, I'll talk to them."

…………

When meeting with the two eunuchs the next day, Julie, who was in charge of the negotiations, really proposed to the two that it would not be difficult for the Qiong navy to transport vegetables and fruits from the south to Beijing, but they could not agree to pay tribute directly to the palace.

The reason is simple - these things are food, they are to be eaten, and they are for the nobles of the court. Thousands of miles from Hainan to the past, there are many intermediate links, and the people who handle it must be complicated, in case of rot and mildew, or who deliberately makes something bad in it, something happens, who will bear the responsibility at that time?

The two eunuchs were dumbfounded when they heard this—Qiong Haizhen could indeed justifiably refuse to pay tribute on this ground, and this was the most troublesome food in the tribute since ancient times. Didn't they pretend not to see the fresh food on the market for the same reason?

When the two were disappointed, they listened to Julie's words and suddenly changed, but ......

-- The Qionghai Trading Company can open up a market in Beijing to transport fresh goods from the south to be sold in Beijing, and the market will ensure that everything sold is fresh and hygienic, and after the goods are bought, you will naturally be responsible for their own safety.

The two eunuchs heard this idea was really good, but ...... We don't have any money!

Julie laughed and told them another piece of good news: you don't have to pay cash, you can keep an account of all the goods, anyway, according to the agreement with the Ming Empire, Qionghai Town has to pay a sum of money to the Ming Dynasty every year. When the time comes, settle the bill as soon as the year is settled, and the money will be deducted from there.

It's October 6th, and there are two days left to double.

Friends, don't pay for a monthly pass, hurry up and vote!
