Jia Cong's draft treaty can show that it is absolutely fair and just on the surface, and no one can find the slightest fault, and it can definitely fool the red-haired, yellow-haired, and blue-haired people.

But there is one thing, as he said to the crown prince Liu Hong, the volume, population, type and quality of the chickens in Daxia are here, and Xiyi only sees the huge market, but does not consider whether their things can be sold.

Maybe he can really make some money at the beginning, but once the novelty passes, and there is no patent protection now, it is estimated that it will not be long before the local craftsmen of Daxia can give him a one-to-one replication, and he can be better than the blue.

"In terms of tariffs, let the Ministry of Households and the Municipal Department carefully calculate, and the grain and other things needed by the people can be reduced or even completely exempted. For the rest of the luxury goods, take five taxes first, and the minimum shall not be less than ten taxes and one, which is enough to make Yi people rush to it. ”

Jia Cong paused, shook his head, and overturned his thoughts.

He asked for the draft treaty back, added a few strokes after the tariff paragraph, and handed it back to Nie Chaoyi.

"Let the Ministry of Household and the Municipal Department of Shipping, as well as a few adults who have gone to the West this time, discuss the tariffs carefully, and try to formulate a reasonable tax rate according to the principle of low taxes on the necessities of the people and high tariffs on luxury goods."

Nie Chaoyi was ordered to retreat, Jia Cong looked at the pair of birds chirping in the treetops outside the window, and couldn't help but smile and say to himself: "Foreign devils are plundering gold and silver everywhere, and in the end, they don't want to send the silver to the Celestial Empire one by one?" I'll give you a taste of sweetness first. ”

……

In the great summer dynasty, all nations came to congratulate.

The people of the capital are no longer surprised by Mao Yi of various colors.

Just after the New Year's Festival, temple fairs inside and outside the capital began one after another.

These temple fairs, which gathered merchants from all walks of life, became the main occasions for merchants to sell goods and sweep goods.

Jia Cong discussed with the Dragon Guards early, and sent clever people to buy the most luxurious, gorgeous, and nouveau riche things with the most luxurious, gorgeous, and nouveau riche at the same time.

In particular, the merchants of the Kingdom of France had long been dazzled by the gorgeous costumes of Great Xia, and spent money like water to pack a whole ship of the most luxurious silk and satin.

Jia Cong could imagine what kind of summer fever this ship of exquisite silk would set off after it appeared in Europa.

Just kidding, this is the Eastern Celestial Empire, where the legendary gods live.

When China and the West formally established transportation and commerce, the porcelain of Suzhou embroidery, Shu brocade, and Jingdezhen will definitely monopolize the entire Western aristocratic circle.

Under Jia Cong's teaching, Nie Chaoyi was enough to deal with the Yiren envoys in that circle.

On the second day of February, the dragon raised its head.

Early in the morning, Ningrong Street was once again tightly blocked by horse-drawn carriages.

The eldest daughter of Rongguo, Jia Yingchun is married today.

Including Lin Ruhai, the entire Ning Rongjia family in the court all took leave from the yamen in advance and stayed at home to watch the ceremony.

"The Book of Rites: Internal Rules" contains: "Ten out of five years. ”

There is also the system of "Etiquette and Ceremony": a woman is allowed to marry, and she is called a word.

The spring year has been fifteen, today and Lu, he can marry a big wedding on the same day, Liu Xianglian pulled a large cart of gifts at dawn, and guarded in front of the Rongguo Mansion where the gate was not opened.

Jia Cong angrily smashed the future second brother-in-law who kept smirking, and asked in a low voice, "I heard that the Liguo Mansion stuffed you with a woman again?" ”

Liu Xianglian chuckled in her heart, and hurriedly covered Jia Cong's mouth and hid aside.

Not far away, Master Yu, who was chatting with the guests, only glanced at it and didn't care.

"You have to believe me, I didn't do anything to be sorry for my second sister. It's true! ”

Liu Xianglian almost swore an oath, what he said was true, he didn't even look at those women, and directly let the servants drag them out of the house and throw them back to the Liguo Mansion.

Jia Cong pouted and said, "It's not a question of whether I believe you or not, Second Brother Liu." The propaganda of the Liguo Mansion in the capital, Liu Fang, as the patriarch of the Liu family and the eldest uncle of the second brother Liu, worries about your heirs and chooses a concubine for you to live with. ”

Hiss!

Liu Xianglian really wanted to pull out his mandarin duck sword and slash from the main gate of the Liguo Mansion to the back door in one go.

"It's up to me to do this, I should have taken care of the affairs of the Liguo Mansion before."

It's easy to say, and Liu Xianglian herself knows that as a branch of the Liguo Mansion, the relationship with the relatives of the Liu family is not something he can break if he wants to.

The Zhongshun Royal Mansion and the Ning Rongjia family could help him block the suppression of the Liguo Mansion, but they could not handle the internal affairs of the main family for the Liu clan.

In the end, it is up to him to do this.

Jia Cong spoke again: "I don't know if this is Liu Fang's overture or pure disgust, this matter must be dealt with in advance." To be honest, this move of the Liguo Mansion really occupies the ...... of righteousness."

"How could Liu Fang show favor to me? It is estimated that in his eyes, my nephew, who was born out of the house, was the culprit of his belittlement by His Majesty. ”

Liu Xianglian sneered: "That's all he can do, he can only use this kind of unworthy selfish deeds as a calculator." ”

"Second Brother Liu, don't underestimate this kind of bad move, if Liu Fang's wife holds the shelf of the elders and stuffs women in your backyard every once in a while, it will be disgusting enough. I don't want my second sister to marry you, and what kind of palace fighting and house fighting drama will be. ”

Jia Cong is extremely disgusted with this, the second sister's temperament is the most gentle and gentle in the four springs, let her go to the palace or marry in the courtyard of the deep house, and play house fights with any concubines, she will definitely not survive three chapters......

Liu Xianglian hummed dullly, but her left hand touched her waist but felt empty.

Today I came to attend my fiancée's ceremony, but I didn't bring my own mandarin duck sword.

Jia Cong saw that the future second brother-in-law was moved by murderous intentions, and hurriedly whispered: "I told my second brother-in-law this, I didn't want to ask my second brother-in-law to kill people. I don't want my second sister to become a widow before she gets married. It is said that the second brother-in-law is also the grandson of Old Man Liu, and the title of the Duke of Liguo does not necessarily have to be inherited in Liu Fang's branch, right~"

……

The spring festival and the ceremony invited the civil and military ministers of the capital, and even the palace gave congratulatory gifts.

Zhengbin is Cui Niangniang of Zhongshun Palace, and the Jia family also invited Baochai to be today's praiser.

At two o'clock, the old man was dressed in the crown of the Duke of the Kingdom, and stood with Mrs. Xing on the east steps of the Rongxi Hall waiting for the guests.

Yingchun is to change into clothes and shoes, sit in the warm pavilion and wait, the main hall is spread out mats, futons, ready wine glasses, rice, trays and other ritual utensils, and has sounded the music of big beads and small beads falling on the jade plate.

When Princess Cui arrived, Jia Yu and his wife came forward to greet them, and after bowing to each other, the guest of honor sat in the guest of honor, and the guest sat in the viewing seat.

When everyone was seated, the old man took a step forward and bowed to the guests: "Today's little girl is fifteen years old, and she will bow to her." Thank you very much for coming to the ceremony...... Second girl, why don't you come out to meet your relatives and friends? ”

Yingchun dressed in clothes and shoes, combed his hair and walked forward, and bowed to the surrounding guests.

"Jia Yue meets all the relatives and friends!"

Then she faced the west and knelt on the throne.

After washing her hands, Baochai combs her hair for the spring. After Princess Zhengbin Cui got up, Master Yu and Mrs. Xing got up to accompany each other, and washed their hands and dried them at the foot of the east steps. After giving way to each other, the guest of honor and the host return to their respective seats.

At this time, Yingchun turned to Dongzheng to sit, and there was a division to present Luopa and a hairpipe, and Princess Cui walked in front of Yingchun and chanted a greeting in a loud voice: "On the auspicious day of the month, the first Jiayuan is served." Abandon your young ambitions, and become virtuous. Shou Kao Weiqi, Jieer Jingfu. ”

After the congratulatory speech, Princess Cui knelt down to comb her hair for the Spring Festival, then got up and returned to her original position.

Baochai symbolically made a formal gesture for the Spring Festival, and then the Spring Festival got up, and the guests all congratulated the Spring Festival.

Then I saw Yingchun walking to the Huihui Pavilion, Baochai took the clothes from Youji's hands, and went to the room to change the plain clothes and skirts that matched the hairpipes on his head.

When Yingchun came out again, the clothes and shoes on his body had been replaced by a plain skirt.

She bowed down to the lord and Mrs. Xing on the right seat to thank her parents for their nurturing grace, which was a bow.

Then sat facing east, and Princess Cui once again chanted a loud greeting: "Jiyue Lingchen, Nai Shenerfu." Respect for the majesty, the grace of the soot. Eyebrows live for 10,000 years, and will always be blessed by Hu. ”

Baochai went to the hairpin for it, and Princess Cui put the hairpin on the hairpin for the hairpin, and then got up to reset the position......

Yingchun returned to the warm pavilion, Baochai took the clothes to assist, and went to the warm pavilion to change the curved deep clothes that matched the hairpin on the head.

After Yingchun came out in deep clothes to show the guests, he bowed to today's Zhengbin Princess Cui to show respect for the teacher and seniors, which was the second bow.

"With the right of the year, with the order of the month, the salty gar is served. Brothers are there, in order to become a virtue. The astragalus is boundless, and it is celebrated by the sky. ”

The eulogy sounded again, Baochai went to the hairpin to welcome the spring, and Princess Cui added a hairpin crown for it, and then got up to reset the throne......

Yingchun returned to the warm pavilion for the third time and changed the large-sleeved long skirt dress that matched the hairpin crown on the head.

When she left the room in a long-sleeved dress and a hairpin crown, she showed it to the guests again. Then face the portrait of Confucius, and bow to show the inheritance of the ceremony, which is the third worship.

Three plus three worship is cumbersome and complicated but very sacred, whether it is to welcome the spring themselves or the guests who come to watch the ceremony, all are solemn and respectful, this is the solemnity of the ceremony that has been inherited for thousands of years.

By the time the furnishings of the ceremony were removed, a liquor banquet had been set up on the west side, and Princess Cui invited Yingchun to the banquet.

The congratulatory speech said: "Gan Li is only generous, and I recommend Ling Fang." Worship and accept sacrifices, in order to determine the auspiciousness. The rest of the heavens, the longevity test will not be forgotten. ”

Greet the spring salute, take the liquor, and Princess Cui bows back.

I saw Yingchun kneeling and sprinkling some wine on the ground as sacrificial wine, and then holding the wine symbolically to his lips, and then putting the wine on a few tables, and the priest served rice, and after Yingchun took it, he symbolically ate a little......

At the end of the Jiao ceremony, Princess Cui got up again and faced east, and Jia Yu got up and faced west.

Just listen to the greetings again, saying: "The etiquette is ready, the moon is auspicious, and the word is announced." The word Kong Jia, the fashionable person is suitable. It is advisable to be fake, and it will always be guaranteed. ”

Yingchun replied: "Although Yue is not sensitive, dare not to sleep all night."

After thanking Princess Cui for herself, Yingchun knelt in front of Jia Yu and Mrs. Xing.

I saw that today's lord pardon was also moved, looking at the gentle and dignified girl in front of him, and there was a feeling of dryness in his throat.

After a long time, Jia Yu spoke up: "My son has grown up, and he will be filial piety and take mercy." Gentle and upright, frugal and humble. No overflow, no arrogance, no deception. The ancient precept is a formula, and it is observed. ”

Yingchun knelt down to worship his relatives, and said softly: "Although my son is not sensitive, I dare not accept it!" ”

……

A long hair, a hairpipe, carefully combed into a beautiful bun, solemnly hairpinned on the hairpipe.

In Jia Cong's view, the Spring Festival ceremony seems to be the beginning of Ning Rongjia's official farewell to the past.

At the banquet, Jia Cong let go of his mind for the first time and drank with the guests.

However, he really didn't drink much, and soon lay down on the bed in a daze, and fell into a deep sleep.

Daiyu led the two maids, laboriously took off Jia Cong's coat, wiped his hands and faces, and stuffed them into the quilt.

"Go cook some decanting soup, I guess he'll get up again and have a headache when he gets up......"

The purple cuckoo promised to retreat, and the snow goose also added charcoal to the furnace, quietly exited the inner hall, and closed the door.

At this time, Jia Cong had already fallen asleep, his brows were furrowed, and he vaguely shouted that the second sister would not cry.

Daiyu was stunned when she heard this, and then reached out to rub Jia Cong's frowning brow. However, Jia Cong's dream was not very good, and his brows quickly wrinkled again.

"Zhongshan wolf, you dare!"

Boom!

Jia Cong suddenly closed his eyes and kicked out, kicking away the quilt covering his body, and smashing his hands into fists, almost hitting Daiyu on the side.

At this time, Daiyu was thinking about the name of Zhongshan wolf, and was startled by Jia Cong's sudden action.

Maybe it was because of the pain in his hands and feet, Jia Cong, who was originally drunk and asleep, suddenly opened his eyes suddenly, the fierceness and anger in his eyes were like a sharp sword, even Daiyu was a little scared when he saw it.

"Brother Cong, what's wrong? Is it a nightmare? ”

She broke Jia Cong's clenched right hand apart and held it tightly.

Daiyu Wu Yin's soft inquiry woke up Jia Cong in a daze, looking at the familiar bed tent furnishings, as well as the faint fragrance coming from his nose, the tense heart and the anger in his chest finally dissipated.

Yes, today is the second sister's ceremony, and she will marry Ruyi Langjun Liu Xianglian in the near future.

That Zhongshan wolf Sun Shaozu had already been beheaded by his house and went to eighteen layers of hell.

"I had a dream, but I also had a heart."

Seeing Daiyu's face full of worry, Jia Cong thought for a while and said, "Didn't the world say that I was born with Su Hui?" I once saw the future in a dream, the second sister and the queen, married badly, and was mistreated to death by her husband's family......"

Yes?

Daiyu couldn't help but exclaim.

Jia Cong was full of sighs, and said faintly: "The sub-line is a mountain wolf, and the ambition is rampant. Golden boudoir willow, a load to sorghum. ”

"This means the second sister? Who is that Zhongshan wolf? ”

Daiyu believes that Jia Cong will not lie to her, and fate is such a mysterious thing, she still cares about these things after personal experience.

I only heard Jia Cong explain: "The Zhongshan wolf is dead, and it is Sun Shaozu who once intended to come to the house to ask for relatives and want to cling to the Jia family." ”

Bah!

It turned out to be this dog thing!

Daiyu still remembers that when Sun Shaozu saw that he couldn't get married, he even thought of a way to ruin the reputation of the second sister Yingchun, and he also beat the idea of the fourth sister to cherish the spring.

Fortunately, this dog thing was caught by the dragon guards and put in prison, and later it was found that this person was involved in serious crimes such as colluding with other places, leaking military aircraft, and slandering the imperial family, and he was beheaded at home.

Daiyu breathed a long sigh of relief and comforted Jia Cong softly.

"Dreams, after all, are dreams, don't worry too much......"

Suddenly, she changed her words, tilted her head and asked, "What about me?" What will happen to me in the future as you see it in your dreams? ”
