Chapter 104 The Head of the Chamber of Commerce (Second Update)
Chang Feng looked at the four women.
He half-jokingly said, "Can I have them all?"
Master Sun hurriedly said, "Of course you can."
Chang Feng said, "I'll fight with you. Look at this bed in the bedroom, I can't sleep with four women."
Master Sun answered, "The small one will let someone change a big bed for you."
"It's a minor oversight. The top guards of the brocade clothes are all men of steel and iron bones. Naturally, the bed-warming maids should have a few more. The bed should be large, too."
Chang Feng waved his hand: "It's a haha. Don't take it seriously. I'll pick one."
After speaking, Chang Feng's finger pointed at the Yangzhou thin horse.
In fact, Liu Xiaoyan was six months pregnant. Chang Feng was honest for six months. It's been a long time since I couldn't hold it back.
Leaving a thin horse in Yangzhou is not only to give Governor Zhao face, but also to comfort himself.
Master Sun said, "Xiao Cui stays. The rest goes down."
After the three women had gone, another maid came in with a tray.
In the tray is a bowl of soup.
Master Sun smiled, "I'm afraid I won't eat well on a bad day. I will serve you a bowl of Wuyang soup for a supper."
Chang Feng asked, "Wuyang Soup? What kind of name is this?"
Master Sun explained: "It is a tonic soup stewed with more than a dozen precious herbs such as seal whip, deer whip, horse whip, donkey whip, bull whip, and more than a dozen precious herbs such as Yin sheep weed."
Serving the Qincha, they are really considerate of home. Not only for women, but also for tonic soup.
After Master Sun finished explaining, he arched his hand and said, "Please enjoy it slowly. The little ones quit."
Master Sun sent money to Chang Feng to send to a woman, but Chang Feng only kept the woman and did not keep the money.
Of course, the other five chincha also enjoyed the same treatment.
Yang Tinghe didn't ask for a woman or gold.
The two uncles of the small country asked for gold and women. However, they are young and don't know how to do things. Leave two women behind and draw Wang Ba to play on the women's faces.
It's a bit of a tyrannical thing.
Xu Fatzi asked for a woman, but he didn't ask for gold. And left all four women behind! The beautiful name said, "Learn from Shennong to taste the herbs, and try the medicinal effect of Wuyang soup."
Li Guang was a eunuch. asked for gold, not to mention, but also left a charming and bewitching woman.
Although you can't do it, it's also excellent to get over your hands and mouths. Otherwise, why are so many eunuchs looking for the right food?
Chang Feng held back for six months. With a thin horse on the side, the earth naturally shook the mountain.
But the skinny horse didn't go red.
Chang Feng didn't care. I was worried about one thing: "Your name is Xiaocui, right?"
The skinny horse replied, "Yes."
Chang Feng said, "Xiaocui, what if you are pregnant with my child?"
Xiao Cui said softly, "Don't worry. We can't conceive."
At noon the next day, Chang Feng and others boarded the official ship. Continue south.
More than ten days later, the official ship arrived at Hangzhou, the end point of the Beijing-Hangzhou Canal.
As in Shandong, when he arrived in Hangzhou, Governor Huang of Zhejiang personally greeted him.
Governor Huang took over the car, in addition to officials from Zhejiang, there were also many gentry from Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Many of these gentry had held official positions.
Chang Feng and others entered the Hangzhou Post House.
Chang Feng instructed the accompanying Xiaoqi Qian Ning: "The Sea God Pearl has shown me prison. It was the treasure of the town temple given by the emperor to the Mazu Temple. You can't get out of the spread pool."
Qian Ning said, "Master Chang, don't worry. I will take men to watch over it day and night."
Hangzhou is a rich township and a gentle mound. Governor Huang's reception was ten times more extravagant than that of Shandong.
Everyone was tired of boats, and planned to rest in Hangzhou for five days, and then go east to Ningbo, and change the official ship from Dinghai County to go to Oysters.
During the idle period of Changfeng and others. Not only officials, but also gentry and businessmen came to pay a visit.
On this day, Chang Feng was tasting Suzhou and Hangzhou pastries in the side hall. A wrestler said: "Thousands of households, Ma Baolu, the head of the Hangzhou Chamber of Commerce, asks to see."
Chang Feng frowned: "A businessman also wants to see the deputy envoy of the Qin Mission? Missing
!」
Shinong industry and commerce, business is the last. No matter how rich the merchants of the Ming Dynasty are, their status is also lowly. You can't even wear silk, you can only wear cloth.
Lux said: "Qianhu, the Jockey Club has handed over the teacher-student post of the first assistant Liu Ji."
Chang Feng was a little strange: "It's actually Liu Ge's student? Let's meet then."
Liu Ji has always been a cabinet leader, and his face still has to be given.
The fat-headed, big-eared Jockey Club was the first to enter the small hall. He was followed by four men, carrying a large wooden box.
The head of the Jockey Club saluted Chang Feng.
Chang Feng said, "Sit down."
The head of the Jockey Club sneered: "In front of the errand, how can there be a student sitting?"
Chang Feng asked, "You claim to be a student, are you famous?" Is it a human background? Show talent?"
The Club began: "The student is a prisoner. The master is Liu Gelao."
Chang Feng was relieved. Lifting people and showing off talents are to be tested based on real talents. The status of a prisoner can be donated with money.
Empress Zhang's father, Zhang Luan, failed to pass the township test repeatedly, and went bankrupt and donated his identity as a prisoner.
As for worshipping Liu Ji as a teacher. It's nothing more than a matter of giving more silver.
Chang Feng said, "Oh. Disrespectful. I didn't expect the head of the Jockey Club to be a talented prisoner."
"What kind of business are you doing in Hangzhou?"
The Club's first reply: "Salt, tea, silk business."
Chang Feng said secretly: Good guy. These three businesses are the most profitable in Jiangsu and Zhejiang.
And you must have a deep relationship with local officials to do it. Otherwise, you won't be able to get the salt and tea citations issued by the government, and the silk tickets issued by the Weaving Bureau.
Chang Feng asked, "Why did you come here to find me today?"
The Jockey Club was the first to bow his hand: "The tutor wrote to the students that Chang Qianhu was a sought-after young talent in the DPRK. Let the students take good care of it."
"The students don't dare to slack off, so they are here to send a sum of Chengyi."
After speaking, the head of the horse club opened the wooden box.
Chang Feng glanced at the wooden box and exclaimed in his heart: This person is so generous!
The wooden chest was full of silver ingots. Roughly speaking, there are about two thousand taels.
Chang Feng said: "Even if the feudal officials send Cheng Yi to the Qin Mission, it is only a few dozen taels."
"The Jockey Club's first shot was 2,000 taels, so angry. I don't dare to take it."
It was the club's turn to be surprised: "Chang Qianhu can estimate the total number of trippers with a casual glance?"
Chang Feng took a sip of tea: "Do you think that I am so sensitive to the amount of silver, and I am used to collecting money on weekdays?"
"You misunderstood me. I'm in charge of raiding the house in Jinyiwei. I saw that the skill of knowing the number of silver was practiced by copying the family."
The head of the Jockey Club hurriedly said, "That's not what the student meant."
Chang Feng said, "You gave me two thousand taels of silver at a time. You think you have a request for me, right?"
The Club's first gamble vows: "Never! The students just admired Chang Qianhu's demeanor and sincere filial piety."
Chang Feng said, "You take the silver back. I suppose you are afraid that I will trouble you, so you sent me so much silver."
"As long as you abide by the law and do business, no one can trouble you."
The Jockey Club first touched a nose of ash.
Chang Feng suddenly remembered that Huaien had warned him "not to offend the gentry of Jiangsu and Zhejiang".
So Chang Feng's tone softened a little: "Although I don't take the silver. But seeing the head of the Jockey Club today is also fate."
"Governor Huang gave me three taels of West Lake Shifeng Longjing Tribute Tea. Come on, let's make it. I'm the first to have a tasting with the Jockey Club."
West Lake Shifeng Longjing is the best in tea. It refers to the tea produced by the eighteen imperial tea trees on Shifeng Mountain. It's only one hundred and twenty pounds a year.
The Jockey Club drank the tribute tea given by Chang Feng and looked flattered.
