Chapter 54: What a big wedding, what a big melon! (Ask for collections, ask for monthly passes, ask for recommendations, ask for follow-up)
"It's okay, it's okay...... It's okay to scold him for two sentences, and he is still Nong's son-in-law after all! ”
Although Zhuge Yangming is an old Beijinger, he has lived and worked in Shanghai for many years and can speak fluent Shanghainese. Seeing that Da Hei often has a temper tantrum, he persuaded him with words.
"Nong, what are you talking about?" Da Hei often heard Zhuge Mingyang's words, and almost turned his back on him, and no matter what the identity of the other party was, he directly questioned him.
Zhuge Yangming still looked happy, and he was not in a hurry at all. He is also a military advisor, of course he knows that Zhuge Weidao is already one of the eighteen military divisions of the Zhuge family. There is nothing wrong with this identity as the daughter of the big black family as a side room - this "side room" is a Japanese concept, smaller than the main room and larger than the concubine. It is definitely not a loss for the daughter of the Da Hei family to become a side chamber of the Zhuge family's military advisor who is only twenty-eight years old (two years later, Zhuge Weidao is twenty-eight years old). Even letting the son of Zhuge Weidao and Daheikong become the next head of the Dahei family is very cost-effective.
Anyone who is a big deal knows that it is very important to choose a good direction. If you choose the wrong route, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. If you choose the right one, you can get twice the result with half the effort, and you can even make money easily. Just look at how the Zhuge family has made money for more than 100 years!
Therefore, a Zhuge father who can pinch and calculate is really beneficial to the business of the Dahei family.
However, the identity of Zhuge Weidao's military advisor is kept secret for the time being, and Zhuge Yangming can't talk to Da Hei Chang Ming, so he can only stretch out two fingers while shaking the feather fan and say: "Two years, you let the little girl wait for two years, and I promise that I won't suffer...... Nong, you have to trust me! ”
"Two years? What is Nong looking for? Da Hei often waved his hand and said, "It's not like my daughter can't get married...... Nong knows that Shimazu Qiming, the lord of Satsuma Shimazu, has sent someone to Shanghai to propose marriage, and wants Akon to marry Qi Liang, the successor of the Satsuma Domain, to be a big wife! ”
"Hehehe," Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "a bunch of poor ghosts want to buy money...... This Shimazu has controlled Nong for millions and can't come out, and he still wants to ask Nong's daughter to be his wife, and Nong wants to agree to it! ”
"After all, he is the lord of a domain!" Da Hei often shook his head again and again, "And this Qi Liang's sister is still the general's wife, and she can't afford to offend!" ”
Hearing Da Hei Chang say this, Zhuge Yangming already understood that this big black profiteer already wanted to marry his daughter to Shimazu Qi Liang...... But this is not allowed!
So Zhuge Yangming's face sank, and even the accent of his speech was changed to a hard Beijing dialect: "Brother Chang, the cause of Ling Ai and my one hundred and eight uncle is calculated by the army division!" How can the cause calculated by the great army division be inaccurate? You have to think about it! ”
"Calculated by the Great Army Division?" Dahei was often taken aback, "Why hasn't anyone said it before?" ”
Daikoku is often a poor ghost samurai who is just a sword and a life, of course, there is no need to be afraid of the Zhuge family's great military division, but he is one of the four richest chaebols in Japan. And the Zhuge family can just jam the neck of the big black family and make their family want to die or live.
And the reason why this is the case is because the minting and trading of the big black family has long been made into the business of printing and issuing money. In fact, the so-called "silver yuan" of the Ming Dynasty is mainly paper money. Most of the real silver yuan and gold coins that are more expensive than silver yuan are now just stored in the central bank of the Ming Dynasty, which is used to maintain the "gold and silver composite standard" of silver yuan.
During the reign of Tokugawa Ieki, Japan also completed the reform of paper money and issued a banknote called "Nippon Sat". However, due to the shogunate's long-term financial suspension, and the previous record of issuing several bad coins, there was a lack of credit and reserves to support paper money. In desperation, the shogunate did not set up a central bank, but instead made the three major houses of the Daikoku family, the Goto family's gold seat, and the Tagawa family's money seat act as the "imperial banknote issuing bank" to issue the "Nippon Shogun", and at the same time, the Sumitomo family, which was mining, took a stake in the three major houses to strengthen the credibility of the three major banks. And the four major chaebols of Daikoku, Goto, Tagawa, and Sumitomo are still very hard in Japan...... Almost all the feudal lords owed them money, and the other wealthy merchants had to conduct various financial operations through the "za" and "sho" they started, so the circulation of the "nihon za" they issued was smooth in Japan. But Dahei is often the leader of this level of chaebol knows very well in his heart that it is not their four major chaebols that really determine the value of Japan's currency, but the financial market in Shanghai!
As long as the price of the bonds of the "three blocks" in the Shanghai stock exchange can hold up, then the "Japanese notes" issued by the three major blocks will not be run on - the banknotes of this era are all "redeemable" notes, that is, they can be exchanged for gold and silver from the issuing bank. Japan's gold and silver reserves are insufficient, making it difficult to cope with the run on paper money.
In order to maintain the price of the three major bonds, then the chaebols who control the three major must be supported by the Daming Capital Group headed by the Zhuge family and the Zheng family...... In the past hundred years, although the Ming Dynasty did not use force to conquer Japan, the financial and economic penetration and control have not fallen!
Seeing Da Hei's Chang Yes expression, Zhuge Yangming knew that this profiteer would not dare to go against the Great Army. So he let go of his face and said, "This is a heavenly machine!" Chang is a brother, this heavenly opportunity ...... I've already revealed it, it's up to you to listen to it or not! ”
After saying this, Zhuge Yangming stood up and arched his hand and said: "Brother still has a party at night, don't bother, say goodbye!" ”
Da Hei often saw that Zhuge Yangming was leaving, and hurriedly said: "Wait." ”
Zhuge Yangming stopped and looked at Da Hei.
Da Heidao: "I don't know when the wedding of Zi and Archduchess Natalie will take place?" The little brother wants to take the little girl to ask for a cup of wine. ”
Zhuge Yangming smiled: "Is it just to ask for a cup of wine?" ”
Da Hei Chang sighed and said, "The female is not staying...... Although Zhuge Daozi was unlucky, the little girl had no choice but to fall in love with him...... Why don't you let her go to high school in Beijing?"
"That's right!" Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "June 15, Xishan, Beijing, how about we go together?" ”
"Good!" Da Hei often said, "That's it!" ”
......
On June 15 of the sixth year of the Ming Dynasty, it is advisable to marry, sacrifice, pray for blessings, make alliances, and be auspicious.
The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and people were surging around the Xishan Palace at the foot of Beijing's West Mountain. Everyone crowded at the gate and looked inside with joy at the Archduchess Natalie, who was about to marry from here...... I can go to Xishan today to see this lively place, not to mention that he has a head and a face, and he is also a well-informed character. Of course they know who this Natalie is?
The original alternate queen is now married to the "stupid fox" of the Zhuge family, and this matter has the support of the queen mother...... Is there a bigger "melon" than this? This can be made into a drama to watch!
So although Zhuge Weidao doesn't want to make a big deal, it's okay to invite 2,000 guests in a so-so way. But there are so many people who can't help but want to come and drink the wine! The seven great families (excluding the Zhuge family) and the noble families in Beijing can all have a relationship with the Zhuge family, and they are all friends with relatives!
As a result, there are more and more names on the guest list...... If it weren't for Zhuge Weidao's wedding, which was a bit hasty, the guests who came to eat melons and watch the play in the end would probably have more than 10,000! But even though the wedding was held in a hurry and in a low-key manner, on June 15, more than 3,800 guests came to Xishan to drink! With the addition of their retinue, there are 17,800!
Zhuge Weidao's own Xishan Courtyard couldn't be opened, so he temporarily borrowed Zhuge Wei's villa to set up a small 2,000 table.
And the Empress Dowager Zheng did sell enough strength in this matter, not only transferred a large number of black eunuchs and palace maids from the palace to serve in Xishan, but also transferred hundreds of cooks from outside the palace, and also let people set up temporary kitchens in Xishan Palace, Wuxiang Houfu Courtyard and Zhuge Weidao's villa, and they were very busy.
In addition, she also lent her Xishan Palace to Natalie as a temporary maiden house, so that Natalie could marry from here.
She also took advantage of the opportunity to organize the wedding for her "godbrother" and invited all the family members of the eight great families to Xishan Palace as guests...... At this time, she was pulling the little emperor Zhu Xijin to talk about another big wedding with the head of the family in the main hall of the Xishan Palace.
