This time, what Pearl intends to do business with his own country is, of course, it will not be his own appearance, and Liu Huang, who is far away in Luzon, has settled there and changed his head, to do this. There is not much gold and silver in the imperial court now, and this pearl is known, so the idea of tea, porcelain, and silk was raised, which can be exchanged for gold, and of course, Liu Huang can also sell medicines on his side, as long as they want.

Since the last time someone sold guns to the Great Liang Dynasty, the pearl has had the intention of exchanging porcelain, silk, tea and treasure ornaments, of course, for treasures inlaid with gold and jade. Pearl prepared something for her country, but there was no room for anything, 40 cannons, 8,000 shells, 400 mortars, 60,000 shells, and 2,000 submachine guns. 100,000 rounds of ammunition. These are all things to protect the family and defend the country, and of course I am the beneficiary. However, in terms of the navy, for the time being, Liu Lan's fleet is eating at sea, there is no way, his hull skin is high-quality metal, it is difficult to break the general shells, the speed is fast, the steam engine is used as power, and the artillery worn is long-range and powerful, and if it is hit, the ship will fall apart. This navy was left by the pearl to his fourth and fifth children. The third child of their family will also be a Wenchen in the future. This guy is very interested in medicine, especially Western medicine, and has now begun to secretly do human dissection with pearls. Very talented, in Pearl's opinion, this kid is the material for this line of work. I memorized all the books given to him, and now I lack practical experience and inspection instruments, so I still have to take the Chinese medicine exam to make a judgment, so Pearl invited a retired old imperial doctor to be his master.

Now Zhao Qingyu buys more than 500,000 taels of gold from himself every year, plus various precious stones and rare ores, as well as firewood and tongkat ali. Although Liu Huang is in Nanyang, but unlike the territory under Zhao Qingyu's jurisdiction, Liu Huang's territory only has the young Tongkat Ali, all of which you can only ship back.

Pearls now give north-south links. They all use their own Dapeng birds, and now their family has grown to more than forty. It's just a waste of meat. This guy is too edible.

It didn't take long. Liu Huang sent a letter to Pearl, saying that the imperial court could come up with 500,000 taels of silver, and Pearl was happy, are you kidding me? They replied with porcelain, silk and tea in exchange. Pearl won't be polite to them. Shortly thereafter. An agreement was finally reached. Liu Huang's daughter-in-law, Qingfeng, has followed Pearl for many years. Of course, I knew the preferences of pearls, and personally selected 600 of the best materials for pearls, porcelain or something. It doesn't look as good as the one in my own kiln, so I don't want it, of course, I'm worried about being discovered.

The porcelain made by the pearl kiln is better, but it has not been paid attention to by the palace, and the pearl feels that this is the emperor's compensation for his own thinness, so what about her! Anyway, she is free now, and besides, she has already given him the lowest price. In the past three years, the most rapid development is the textile factory moving to Jiangnan and the porcelain factory in Jiangxi, the three kiln factories, plus the purple sand factory in Yixing, the inkstones and purple clay pots made are exquisite. If the pearl sees a good one, it will not be sold to the outside world. are all placed in the warehouse of the space. Now even the floors with electronic products have been cleared out and used as warehouses. Of course, each floor has its own store's warehouse, and there are many more places there. Pearl now owns more than 300,000 pieces of porcelain and purple clay pots, and more than 100,000 pieces of cloth. The jade ornaments have only been collected recently, but they can be put down.

On the 10th floor, where I bought antique treasures, I now tossed out a part of the pearl, and put the part of the paintings and the grandfather clock, as well as the antiques, and put them together, waiting for new things to be put in. The pearl also put two boats of red sandalwood and ebony, a dozen agarwood and twenty very large golden silk nanmu. Because the ranch is still very large, let the craftsmen work carefully, and make several sets of very delicate and beautiful furniture and daily utensils, even including small cosmetic boxes, of course, there are tens of thousands of lacquerware collected, this thing takes effort, and the price is not cheap, so the pearl likes to collect these.

The younger daughter grows more and more beautiful, in order to let her have a good body and good looks in the future, Pearl has spent a lot of effort to soak her daughter in Bagong De water every night, just three years old, began to learn to read and write. It's very hard. But the children in their family are like this, they don't like to study but become different, it seems that they never thought about it.

The parents didn't live together, the eleven-year-old eldest at the time, and the ten-year-old second, they couldn't have no ideas in their hearts.

The pearl asked Liu Huang and them to load the good things they bought from the emperor's inner library and transported them to the wharf warehouse in Zhuozhou. The place of the transaction is on their small island base, I believe that the emperor will not gap, plus after such a long time, if there is any problem, there is a way to prevaricate.

Pearl sold freshwater pearls and saltwater pearls to Liu Shopkeeper and Qu Wang, and they also earned a lot, not only Liu Qing and Chu Yan in the south sent new tea to Pearl every year, but Qu Wang Ye sent, Pearl and various families need these, but more are put in the space. Especially the tea leaves of the Dahongpao mother tree, which will not be given away at all.

Soon after Ming Qian arrived in Fujian, he made an excerpt, saying that he wanted the imperial court to open the wharf and trade with foreigners, and the tariffs should not be too high, mainly collecting rare ores from the other side for the manufacture of guns and other fires, and even sulfur was to be imported from abroad, and advocated the establishment of its own maritime army. This fold was printed and distributed with a great shock, divided into two sides, one side advocated the opening of the dock and increased taxes, and the other was worried about the invasion of foreigners and the insecurity of the country, plus that foreigners did not worship their ancestors and did not worship their ancestors, which was different from the Great Liang Dynasty.

It didn't take long for Ming Qian to get three folds in a row, one is that the current trade between the provinces and foreign countries, that is, the smuggling situation is very crazy, and the imperial court estimates that the loss of tax silver is tens of millions of taels. Second, the rise of foreigners' firearms had to be guarded against, and ores were needed, smelting technology was improved, and artillery and armies were built. Third, the precious metals that are most lacking in the beam, gold, silver, copper, and tin, but these things are available in the West, and they sell them at ten times the profit, and the tea, silk and porcelain produced by the beam are bought back and sold, which is dozens of times as much. Ming Qian listed a series of figures, and the emperor will circulate them to everyone. These opposing ministers also have their small abacus in their hearts, after seeing Ming Qian's performance, the opposition voice is almost gone, the reason is very simple, the establishment of the customs yamen, need a large number of officials, these officials not only need people from the imperial examination, but also need people who are proficient in general affairs and arithmetic. Secondly, the income is huge, they also have to support their families, some people plant mulberry trees at home, some people open silk factories, silk shops, people in the military department will not object, this is a good opportunity for their children and grandchildren to make contributions. So, everyone agreed.

When it came to the next year, the eldest Huairen finally came back, Pearl was very happy, this time Huairen was here to take the exam, and Pearl was busy for his son. When there were only two people left in the study, Huairen looked at his mother and asked,

"Mother, is it really impossible for you and your father?"

Pearl froze, she didn't expect her son to ask such a question, and said with a smile, "This is an adult's business, you don't understand." ”

Huairen said, "Mother, I'm fifteen years old, I'm about to get married, what do I not understand?" ”

Pearl didn't speak for a long time before she said, "I killed your couple's first love and killed a child who may be your father's child, will he forgive me?" ”

"What if my dad can forgive me at all?" Huairen said anxiously,

Pearl's face was very heavy, and he said, "Even if he can forgive, but I can't, for me, your father's behavior back then is already a betrayal, and I can't forgive." ”

|“ Mother, it's been so long, can't you let go? ”

"How many decades are there for a woman? I spent ten years proving myself to be a joke, and what a blow to me who had always been arrogant and striving for perfection? Maybe you want to say that I owe it to my children, to reconcile you with your father. But what about you? Can't you just not persecute me for the sake of my happiness? Speaking of this, Pearl smiled, smiled very miserably, and said leisurely, "It's not that I haven't deceived myself, but I found that maybe you can deceive all the people in the world, but no matter how long it takes and how many methods you use, there is no way to deceive yourself." ”

"Is it because Daddy secretly liked that woman?"

"Once the sea was difficult to turn into water, I will not worry about the past, I will only laugh it off, but I absolutely can't forgive, in his heart, there is another person's place. Even now, you can ask him, does he only have me in his heart? O man! Hum! What you can't get, it's always the best. I can say with certainty that up to now, in your father's heart, he still remembers who is Li Suxin, who is the Li Suxin who is better with him and only drinks green plum wine with her. ”

After Pearl said this, she waved her son out, this was the first time in many years that Pearl had told anyone about it, and it was still her own son. Seeing Pearl turn around, Ming Huairen saw that his mother's back was very desolate, and before leaving, he still said, "Maybe he is not like that......" Huairen was not sure. He also said, "Daddy has had a very hard time, he has been alone for many years, and he doesn't even have a concubine." ”

"I remember the woman saying, 'Don't take yourself too seriously,' and you remember that too! He has nothing to do with me except for children. Pearl didn't want to hear a word about him anymore. (To be continued......)
