The Daifuku boat still had no way to dock, and the boat still picked up the people.

The white crane arrived in person, and Sang Song naturally had to greet him in person.

What's more, Sang Song already knew in the letter that the white crane carried the golden scroll of the canonization of the Ming Emperor and had the scepter of the Ming Emperor. If it weren't for the fact that he was familiar with Bai Minghe, and Bai Minghe signaled that this stay was short, I am afraid that the king of Nanzhang would need to come to greet him in person.

"Governor San, don't come here if you don't see you for many days!"

"Bai Gongzi is fine, I really miss Bai Gongzi these days." Sang Song greeted him with a smile on his face.

Bai Minghe signaled, Bai Hong walked to Bai Minghe with a gift box in both hands, and Bai Minghe picked up a gift list on it: "These gifts are for your Governor's Palace, and some of them are for King Nanzhang." I have visited many times, but I have not visited the king of Nanzhang, it is very rude, and before the New Year, I will definitely go to the capital of Nanzhang. ”

Sang Song took the gift sheet and thanked him repeatedly.

Regardless of whether the gift is expensive or not, Sang Song is a little flattered by this intention alone.

"Inside this box, it's a top grade. Only six copies of Daming went overseas. You have two copies of the South Palm, one of which is in the gift list. On the Siamese side, four servings were prepared. ”

"What is this?" Sansson took the box and felt that it was not heavy. Let the attendant open it with his hand and see that it is silk.

"This volume is called Hundred Birds and Phoenix. If you really want to talk about the value, you can't buy gold with a hundred times the weight. This is a hundred top embroiderers spend a year embroidering, placed in the palace, can be listed as the top grade of the bird and phoenix. It is enough to be called the pinnacle of embroidery. After Bai Minghe finished speaking, he opened it in front of Sang Song.

In fact, the white crane is a small one, only two feet long and one foot wide. But the tribute-level in the palace is as far as the Yangtze River.

But in the place of Nanzhang, the moment the embroidery surface is opened. How many people's eyes have been spent.

Daming Su embroidery, famous all over the world. No matter how Sang Song said it, he is also a Nanzhang nobleman, and it is false to say that he has not seen it. But such a boutique level was never brought out by the three treasure eunuchs back then.

"This, too, too precious."

"It's a friend. You're welcome to do so. Go back to your lady and he will love it. You can also have more face in the circle of noble ladies. The official also brought some small Su embroidery fans, which you can change back. As soon as Bai Minghe stretched out his hand, an entourage behind Su Hong immediately opened it with a beautiful brocade box, and there was only one fan inside.

This fan is gourd-shaped, with a wooden frame on the outer ring and a silk fan inside, and then embroidered with some flowers and plants.

Such work. For the ordinary people of Suzhou, some hands are fast, and one side can be embroidered in two days.

"Your Excellency!" Behind Bai Minghe, a man who was queuing up to get off the boat actually walked over quickly, knelt down and kowtowed: "The villain is dead, but in the words of the adults just now, he praised Su Xiu a lot." The villain didn't dare to say that Su embroidery was not good, but it was just one of the four famous embroideries in the world. Who is the first does not distinguish between the superior and inferior, and the villain dares to ask the adult to give Yue embroidery a chance to show. ”

"Although you are a little rude. But his heart is good. Compete for your hometown, but there is nothing wrong with it. ”

The white crane did not pursue it, this is a foreigner after all.

If this person dares to stand up, he must have full self-confidence.

Bai Minghe came out this time, because the Guangdong gang made trouble and delayed their own time, so there were not many goods from Guangdong among the goods this time. There really isn't a single embroidery.

I heard that Cantonese embroidery is different from Suzhou embroidery, and Suzhou embroidery is a woman's work. The Cantonese embroidery was created by the men of the Li nationality, and the embroiderers were mostly men. It is rare in the world.

Bai Minghe bowed his hand to Sang Song: "It's really rude, I will give Governor Sang the guilt on his behalf." ”

"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. Want to come to me. If I say that the soldier is strong in martial arts, I am afraid that many people will stand up and challenge him. They are all loyal and brave people, can Bai Gongzi give him a chance. ”

"Well said!"

Soon, someone sent solid colored silk, needles, threads. The man was carrying a full set of tools. The needle bag was lined up, and Sang Song's eyes were real, just this needle was large and small, and there were more than forty of them in various shapes. Because there weren't enough threads of all kinds, he only picked one type of black silk thread.

Seeing that he began to embroider by hand, his technique was skillful, and he couldn't see the hand shadow at all when his hands were flying.

This is in front of the Gentiles, in front of the most powerful official in Guangdong, Bai Minghe, to show Cantonese embroidery, one breath to bring it up, it is definitely a super level of play, the whole person fell into a kind of madness, can not hear the voice, can not hear the sound of the waves, let alone hear the exclamations around, only a kind of black silk thread, he wants to spell out a reputation for Cantonese embroidery.

The white crane took a few steps back: "What is the origin of this?" ”

"Chaozhou Weijunhu, the reason for choosing him is that he is especially good at matching dyes, and he always goes into the mountains to select materials by himself. Take him with you, and I guess I'll be able to find a few things that can make dyes. Chen Adaa said beside him, looking at the level of embroidery, Chen Adaa also approved: "This craft, I'm afraid it is the number one person in Chaozhou Wei." ”

"No, there are more embroiderers such as Chaozhou Weiyi, and he probably fights for a breath." Another whispered.

This sentence is spelled out, which means extraordinary play.

About half an hour later, two black swallows were embroidered about an inch and a half. Under the crazy play, his hands stopped but kept shaking, and two people came over to massage his arms. Sang Song could see that this person was desperate, and if he embroidered for a while, he was afraid that these hands would be useless.

Look at the pair of swallows again, lifelike.

There are only these four words to evaluate, and the rest of the superfluous words belittle this pair of Feiyan.

"My lord, I dare to fight for the first place in the world."

"Definitely." Lu Qiwen came over and shook the folding fan in his hand: "The four famous embroideries of Daming Su, Guangdong, Hunan and Shu have their own merits, just like spring, summer, autumn and winter, Meilan bamboo chrysanthemum, do you have to compare them?" I have to compare, I can only say that this time, the embroidery prepared in Suzhou is more attentive, Chaozhou Gang is half a step slower, and their embroidery has not yet been put into storage! ”

The one who embroidered Shuangyan knelt down to Bai Minghe again: "It's the villain's mistake, please punish the adult!" ”

"Don't be punished!" Sanson came over to persuade.

Sanson believed that the scene was accidental and definitely not pre-arranged. I can only sigh that these people under Bai Minghe have real skills, and if a character like this is placed in Nanzhang, it is estimated that he can be a big official in Nanzhang Palace, but here, it is obviously the most ordinary entourage.

"Ben Gongzi is not so stingy, go get a bottle of medicinal oil first, and then you go about your work."

Sang Song's heart is a service word, not a white crane, but a Ming Dynasty. Daming's real talent is full of talents, and any person who comes out has the ability to do it.

Thinking of this, Sang Song said to Bai Minghe: "Bai Gongzi, I don't know if I can go to watch your inspection today." ”

"I'm also going to invite Governor San to come with you, and if there's anything special and good, I'll be sure to prepare a lot for the next time. Again, I brought some very cheap fine linen cloth, so that the people of Nanzhang could wear good clothes. The price is absolutely fair, even ordinary people can afford to wear it. ”

In fact, during this period, the Ming Dynasty slowly began to use cotton fabrics to represent hemp fabrics. The price of linen fabric continues to fall, it can be said that a piece of burlap only costs two coins of silver, and the fine white linen is more than half a tael of silver, which is the price of one stone of rice.

Bai Minghe has not yet made an offer, and he will at least wait for mass production before he can set a price.

However, there is already a price point in my heart, and it is always very suitable to exchange a load of fine white hemp for a few hundred stone meters.

The two entered the yard together, the goods here have been divided into batches, and Daming's side mainly inspects the goods, and then grads. From afar, they listened to the shouting: "Two hundred stones of grass and fruit, add four to each stone!" ”

Immediately afterward, I heard another shout in Nanzhang language.

There is no silver here, and there is no gold as currency, and all the qiē is in rice as the middle price. One stone grass fruit is four and a quarter of a stone of rice, and ten stone grass fruit is forty-two and one and a half stone of rice. Here is a shout of adding four per stone, that is, to increase the benchmark price, the price of these two hundred stone grass fruits will be increased by 800 stone rice.

Coupled with the original price, this is already more than 1,600 stone rice, which is half a load of silk in the Ming Dynasty.

This shout attracted countless attention. Even Sang Song couldn't help but step forward to take a closer look.

Sang Song wants to go and see it, and the white crane naturally wants to follow.

Open the bag of spot checks, each grain is the same size, the same color, and the size is larger than the hundreds of stones piled next to it, which is obviously carefully selected, and the second mouth has been carefully selected in the process of drying. Inspectors are trained in advance to know when to increase the price.

This time, except for the one stone that was mixed with stone soil particles in the bag, the rest were all price increases.

It's the first time that the price has been doubled.

"My lord, this is first-class goods." The person in charge of the verification held it in front of the white crane.

"Very good, the goods are good, and your vision is good, go on." Bai Minghe praised it, and he didn't need to say too much. This grass fruit alone will be loaded with at least two boats, and the price of one stone of high-grade grass fruit in Daming is twenty times the price of rice. Of course, according to the amount of silver, it is almost a hundred taels of silver per stone.

However, Bai Minghe believes that with the large supply here, the price of grass and fruit will definitely drop, and it will drop significantly.

The Ming Dynasty has not monopolized commerce, and the businessmen of the Ming Dynasty have not yet joined forces with black hearts to monopolize and raise prices.

"Nanzhang Xiaomin Road greets the noble Bai Gongzi of Daming!" A Nanzhang merchant dressed in silk greeted Bai Minghe in very unskilled Chinese. Bai Minghe smiled and returned the salute: "Hello Lu Ba, thank you for preparing these high-quality goods." Bai Minghe waved his hand lightly, and Bai Hong immediately took out a small brocade box from the backpack carried by his entourage.

"Be careful!" The white crane opened the iron box and took out a sandalwood fan. The merchant thanked him repeatedly, and it was Sang Song who helped to say some words of thanks next to him.

Bai Minghe knew very well that the merchants who could pull goods here must be the servants of the noble family, or the side branch of the noble family. It is impossible for ordinary people to see themselves, and it is impossible for such a lucrative business to be given to ordinary businessmen. (To be continued......)
