Liao town is a special case in the border towns of the Ming Dynasty, in terms of the size of the area, Liao town is not smaller than any inland province, in terms of production, Liao town is fertile, rich in products. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Although the imperial court in other border towns allocated a large amount of money and grain every year, they also arranged for officials to collect taxes, while everything in Liaozhen was taken care of by the military towns, the imperial court did not collect taxes, and it was their own business whether the military towns collected or not, and Liaozhen did not govern the local civil officials, all of them were governed by military generals.

With such good conditions and such a preferential policy, the generals of Liaozhen are all rich and armored, and as for Sun Shoulian's position, "entering the inner circle of Li Chengliang, the chief soldier of Liaozhen, it can be said that the country is rich and rivaled."

Li Chengliang is the general soldier, "Li Jiazi's nephew and Yizi's henchmen are deputy generals, each guarding a city and guarding one side, this is actually the local emperor of the soil, and he can do whatever he wants."

Because of this, the generals of Liaozhen are reluctant to leave Liaozhen on weekdays, and the local area may not be as colorful as outside, but they are better at their own territory, and they can do whatever they want, which is also a great joy.

Since Sun Shoulian met Wang Tong, he took the line of Tianjin Wei, and the gold and silver poured into the sky were pouring towards his family, and his business was getting bigger and bigger.

And because of Wang Tong's relationship, he was originally a guerrilla, and he was also promoted to a general, and he was extremely beautiful for a while.

Sun Shoulian is in Liaozhen, because he has opened up the line of Tianjin Wei for everyone and helped everyone make a fortune, this God of Wealth is naturally polite "Sun Shoulian is in Tianjin Wei, he is also the interface between Tianjin Wei Business Group and Liaozhen, in fact, many of Sun Shoulian's own industries are already considered to be the periphery of Sanjiang Commercial Bank."

However, it is precisely because Sun Shoulian has such a net worth and status that he "came to Beijing at the end of November" that people wonder.

It's almost the end of the year, people with this status have to go to Shangguan's side to do something, to put it bluntly, at this time, "all the military leaders in Liaozhen are on the side of Liaoyang, and they are at the Li family's banquet" to give gifts to the Li family, although they are confidants, "This year, my brothers have to settle accounts, and the commander of the army can't see you once a year, so you can't behave well at this time."

This is the case everywhere in the world, but Wang Tong's department is more special, firstly, the system is effective, and secondly, everyone knows that "if you want to be developed, the key is to do things, and if you do a good job, Lord Wang will naturally not be treated badly in his eyes."

However, this Sun Shoulian is obviously not from the department under Lord Wang, "He is a standard Liaozhen general, and because of this, this Sun Shoulian is really a little strange when he comes at this time."

Now the sea is also frozen, from Liaozhen to Jingshi "must take the land route" Sun Shoulian's defense of the city is close to Goryeo, the road is even farther, if he comes to the Beijing division "I am afraid that I will not be able to go back to Liaoyang."

Moreover, officials of this status have rules and manners, "From Liaozhen, when a person enters the realm of Shuntianfu, he should send his relatives to come and say hello" Both the guest and the host have a preparation.

This sudden visit, there are too many unruly places, but it is a guest from afar" Wang Tong has not heard anything about what happened to Sun Shoulian here, since he came, people still have to see it.

After hearing the report from outside, the expressions of the women in the house were different, that is, Song Chanchan couldn't see any emotions, Wang Tong spent more time outside and less time at home, it was rare to have such an opportunity for the whole family to get together, and it didn't take long for the gathering to be interrupted by outsiders.

Among Wang Tong's wives and concubines, "Song Chanchan is the oldest, but she is only thirty, she is well-informed, and the rules of the official face and private are very clear, her own man is the Marquis of Dingbei, and she is the commander of the Jinyi Weidu" is a high and powerful position, and she can't take care of private affairs, this is normal.

Others don't think so, Zhang Hongying is a little older, but she has been a housekeeper in the inner house, and she has no knowledge, and the rest of Han Xia, Zhai Xiuer and Lu Ruomei are even younger, it is rare for everyone to be so happy together today, but some people don't have long eyes, which is really angry.

Han Xia is also a tough character, but as an eldest woman, she always has to take a piece out from time to time" Zhang Hongying on the side said directly: "It's rare to have a free time, why is this person like this?" When she said this, Zhai Xiu'er and Lu Ruomei on the side both nodded, and Han Xia also looked in agreement, this is also when everyone heard that Sun Shoulian's official position, he is just a general, and such a person is too blind.

In Wang Tong's eyes, his wives and concubines are too worldly, and there is nothing to blame for playing a little temper, he just laughed and laughed, or Song Chanchan stood up and said: "Sisters, the master's business is important, don't delay his business." Originally, because of her background, Song Chanchan's ranking among wives and concubines was not high, and her words at home had no weight, but when everyone went to Naturalization City, she stayed behind, and after coming back, she found that Wang Tong discussed many things with this Song Chanchan, plus this Song Chanchan is known to know what to do with others, and her words have gradually gained weight.

Hearing Song Chanchan say this, the girls in the house didn't say anything, they all got up and prepared to avoid, at this time, there was someone outside to report, and the tone was a little strange, and said: "Master, Lord Sun said that he was not in good shape" to go back to the inn to tidy up first, and come back tomorrow to visit, first present the gift list, the gift is already on the street in front of the door. ”

Wang Tong's housekeeper is now a person from Sanjiang Commercial Bank, this person was Wang Tong to Tianjin Wei, the initial selection of a group of people, deal with decent, eyebrows and eyes transparent, people in front of the smart, know the general situation, this is all there, the official visited the Shangguan "actually reported first and then went back" and then left a gift list, such a way of advancing and retreating is really strange, no wonder this housekeeper has a little different tone.

After all, most of the ladies in the house are young people, and when they hear this guest, they don't know how to come" Everyone stayed with a smile, and even Song Chanchan was smiling.

Wang Tong blamed strangely, but he didn't want to inquire, his status was precious, and this Sun Shoulian had been an officialdom for many years, and he suddenly came to see himself at this time, "Be careful, maybe there are also concerns."

"Bring in the gift list!"

Looking at the gift list, it is a pleasure, maybe there will be some new things, there are many young people in the house, and they are all women who have been in the house for a long time, and these things can make them the most happy.

The housekeeper outside agreed, "The gift list was handed in by the waiting maid, Wang Tong frowned when he saw this gift list, the bronzing red leather folded book, this is the usual regulation, but this folded book is too thick, it looks like a book.

Open the gift list" Wang Tong's brows furrowed even more, and the first item was the so-called "two thousand taels of sand gold from Liaodi......

Gold and silver are common all over the world, but this sand gold is a material that has not been smelted, and the price is lower than that of gold ingots or something, but the real rich and noble people "really have a lot of people who like the original appearance of this just dug out, saying that it is a joy, and some people say that the sand gold in Liaozhen has a cold atmosphere, and there can be no fire when smelted into utensils."

There are many reasons, but how can two thousand taels of sand gold cost nearly twenty thousand taels of silver, and now the silver from the Wa Kingdom and the Francois people has come in a lot, and the price of silver has fallen a little "in Tianjinwei", twenty-five thousand taels of silver is not impossible to exchange.

Sun Shoulian has been rich and noble for a long time, and he naturally can't look down on this money in his eyes, although Wang Tong is not obvious, "but Sun Shoulian is not a rich word in front of him."

But gold is gold, more than 20,000 taels of silver, how to say it is also a huge amount of money, and this is the first gift list, this is a thick book!

Tiger skins five, "bear skins ten, leopard skins, not to mention things like old ginseng skins, these specialties are the biggest things, as for the pearls produced in Liaodong, the good horses of Liaodong are also ordinary, and in the end, there are two Haidongqing "Ten Korean girls."

Although Liaodong is rich, but when it comes to the new things, it is really not as good as the Guannei, if you take embroidery and exquisite utensils to give gifts, it is really laughing and generous, this gift list is also a racking of brains, and the selection is a special product outside the Guan, "Food, clothing and use are all complete."

This Haidongqing is only available to the savage tribes further north, and several of these wild things can only be found in the inaccessible old forests, in addition to some Goryeo things, this Goryeo girl as a maid is nothing "Although there are not many Jingshi, but it is not without it among the wealthy families" After all, it is different from the Han people, and it is just a fresh difference.

Wang Tong's wives and concubines are all literate, "gather around Wang Tong to look at this gift list, in terms of naturalism, Wang Tong is too many contemporaries, whenever he sees something strange on the gift list, after asking, most of Wang Tong can answer, but also happy.

Seeing the end, Zhang Hongying couldn't help but complain: "What is this person giving is not good, what kind of Korean girl is sending!" ”

However, most people's focus on the hanging point is not here, after reading this thick gift list, Han Xia groaned and asked softly: "So many gifts, how much silver do you need?" ”

"The things on this list, if they are sold to Sanjiang Commercial Bank, 150,000 taels are about the same" If it is not known, there will always be 100,000 taels of silver. ”

Wang Tong smiled and said, "The female dependents in the house have been by Wang Tong's side for a long time, and their vision is much higher, but the rules of gift-giving in Beijing, such as the relationship between Sun Shoulian and Wang Tong, will not exceed five thousand taels during the New Year, and it is a little strange to give such a heavy gift list."

"No wonder the gifts are placed on the street" dare to love that our house can't fit it. ”

Wang Tong joked with a smile, but except for Han Xia, who couldn't help laughing, the rest of the women all looked at each other, and Song Chanchan said in a low voice: "Master, will this Sun Shoulian have anything to ask the master?" ”

"Wait for him to open his mouth."

Wang Tong smiled lightly.
