Chapter 45: Push

The wife of His Royal Highness Kujo, the governor of Zhenxi, lit a candle, and the fragrance of osmanthus soon appeared in the main hall illuminated by the candle. Kujo raised his hand, which also exuded a faint scent of osmanthus flowers.

The latest goods brought by the merchant group of the Song Kingdom included candles and several kinds of incense pancreas. The candle is of extremely high quality, and it does not feel greasy when touched by hand. Compared with the tala wax used by the Japanese aristocracy, the condition of the candle is much worse than that of this candle. Raising his hand to reflect the candle, Kujo could see the tips of his fingers appear translucent red. The butter candle is even less bright, and a thin Song candle is brighter than a thick butter candle. And the price of one butter candle can buy three Song Guo candles. In terms of burning time, butter candles are also far inferior.

Aside from the bright light, His Highness Kujo felt that his hands had never been so clean since he was born. There is no greasy feeling at all, and after using fragrant pancreas, it is difficult to remove the inside of the nails.

In addition to candles and incense pancreas, Song merchants also brought a kind of body lotion. As a male, His Highness Kujo has little interest in this thing, but His Highness's mother is old and has very dry skin. The old lady immediately fell in love with this pure and transparent body lotion. His Highness Kujou could clearly see that his rough skin had regained some of his delicate appearance.

These are good things, and of course there is a price for good things. A lot of the money earned from selling wood and charcoal was spent, and His Highness didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Trees will grow continuously, and the people will be obliged to pay tribute to the priests every year. It's just an extra piece of coal, it's not a big deal.

Compared to these, what is difficult to find in this world is enjoyment. Just like the perfume sent by the Song people before, as long as a few drops are used, the body can bring an elegant fragrance in two or three days, which is more refreshing than any kind of bathing and changing clothes. Now I use a bristle toothbrush, with pancreas that do not emit aroma. That feeling really makes people feel as if they have washed away all the filth and the whole person has been reborn.

As a normal human being, the feeling of His Highness Kujo in Jinsai is no different from the feeling of the high-ranking officials in Heiankyo. So there is a saying in Heiankyo that it is not enough to set up a merchant hall of His Royal Highness Zhao Jiaren of the Song Kingdom in Kobe. If the merchant house of His Royal Highness Zhao Jiaren could be set up in Heiankyo, the shogunate would be able to collect taxes better.

"When the cotton cloth was delivered to Kobe, it was bought by local merchants. These black-hearted merchants resold them to Heianjing, and they made several times the profit. Your Excellency, we have actually lost money on these trades. "The adults of the royal family talked eloquently about Heiankyo, who was in charge of taxes.

Since he can manage taxes, he will naturally see a lot of all kinds of ghosts and ghosts. His Excellency took a sip of the liquor from the Song Kingdom, and then tried his best to suppress the urge to grin. When I drink this spirit at home, I grin and exhale as much as I want. If you want to maintain your image in front of everyone, you can only endure these small actions that can relieve people's pressure.

"What the hell are you going to do?" Ask those royal families in a calm voice.

"Can you make cotton a franchise?" The royal family put forward their own opinions.

This suggestion was reasonable, but he did not think that the Imperial Family would really want all the cotton taxes to go to the Kujo Shogun of the Kamakura Shogunate. If the royal families do this, they are not the royal family.

"If it's a cotton franchise, who's going to do it?" Pursue continued to ask.

"You can let those merchants in Kyoto sell cotton cloth." The royal family said.

Feng Xing wanted to snort coldly, but finally held back. Kyoto merchants, probably those merchants at the behest of the imperial family. Buying and selling is a technical job, and the greed and domineering of the royal family will only allow them to oppress the local people. It's the same this time. Already able to think of what would happen if the cotton cloth franchise was held, the Imperial Family used the privileges in his hands to recommend merchants, and in order to obtain concessions, the merchants had to give benefits to the Imperial Family in addition to paying taxes to the Shogunate. In the end, the price of cotton cloth, which is much cheaper than silk, has become more expensive.

Before and after thinking, he felt that he couldn't follow the ideas of these royal families. At this time, Feng Xing felt a little drunk, and his head was dizzy and comfortable. Compared to the spirits of the Song Kingdom, the sake of the Wa Kingdom is like water. With the urge to wash and sleep, Feng said, "I know, I'll tell you the result later." ”

The banquet dispersed, and the crowd dispersed. Facing the empty house, Feng Xing felt that the pressure in his heart was greatly reduced. He asked his subordinates to steam another plate of sausages sent by Hu Yuelian, the representative of the Song Kingdom, and grilled a fish, which was served with fried soybeans, radish puree and garlic puree.

"Hiss~~~" no longer has to maintain the image, and after taking a sip of wine, he gasped. After eating a few crispy fried soybeans, I only felt that it was full of fragrant.

If the cotton cloth trade was not controlled by the shogunate, it was run by merchants over whom the shogunate could control. Now the generals are also short of money, and since the Song Dynasty copper money flowed into the Wa State in large quantities, the previous system of paying tribute in various places has been greatly impacted. The trade based on copper coins began to flourish, and the shoguns began to use copper coins as rewards. He was uneasy and fascinated by this monetary model, which was different from the traditional system.

On the third day of the fifth month of the second year of Jiading, Heianjing asked Hu Yuelian to move the merchant hall to Heianjing, and the merchant hall could also stay in Kobe, and the Kobe merchant hall could only be a port commercial station, and no longer had the power of the merchant hall.

After the news spread in Heiankyo, the local royal family and the priest were very happy. Most of the high-ranking officials did not have the power to collect tribute from large areas as Zhenxi did, which meant that they did not have the financial resources to directly purchase the luxury goods of the Great Song Dynasty as Zhenxi Minister.

Once the Song Kingdom Merchant Hall is moved to Heianjing, the number of tributes that will be sent each time will be even greater. Even if the tribute is not much, these upper echelons of the Japanese kingdom will find a way to send more. For the shogun, the great use of tribute was to reward his subordinates. The more he receives, the more he will reward. In this way, the royal families can get their beloved luxuries.

Although things may sound pitiful, there are many things that people can't pay special attention to. After all, pies don't fall from the sky. All of this is possible through your own efforts.

Hu Yuelian was surprised by such a change. She didn't know what the people behind it were thinking. She just knew very well that the goal given by Zhao Jiaren was to set up a merchant hall in Heianjing.
