Chapter 449: The Princess's Marriage Takes Place
This night, nothing happened, but Song Che slept very soundly. Until noon the next day. There was a knock on the door, and the voice of the captain came: "Official, madam, I will be in Hangzhou soon." Song Che opened his eyes and looked down at the woman in his arms, she should have woken up early, clinging to her arms, and her eyes were wide open.
The two looked at each other and smiled. Get up and disembark. Back in the Song Mansion, in the afternoon of the same day, Song Che summoned various jewelry stores, tea merchants in Hangzhou, and the Wang family shipping company to arrange for the purchase of pearls, tea, and merchant ships to transport goods.
Although the number of New Year's coins is large, it is more than enough to be prepared in a month with the production capacity of Jiangnan. Busy days, time flies.
Imperceptibly, the end of October. Cloth, tea, porcelain, and pearls from all over the south of the Yangtze River were continuously transported into the Song Mansion, and they were counted in the Song Mansion first, and then loaded on the ship after the logarithm.
In addition to silk, there was also an equal batch of coarse cloth. In addition to tribute tea, there is also an equal batch of coarse tea.
In addition to the famous kiln, there is also an equal batch of old porcelain. In addition to pearls, there are also stones of the same batch.
Yes, Song Che just gave him a steal day. The real thing is spread on the surface, the middle layer is filled with inferior goods, and the bottom layer is stuffed with gunpowder.
The more than two million New Year's coins will all be left in the Song family, not only that, but he will also take a large part of the country's money to buy New Year's coins.
This year's coin profit, less than three million taels in the account. Since he didn't intend to let Heqin succeed, why should he pay the dowry?
It's better to put it all in his pocket.
"Master, there is a person surnamed Jiang outside the house—"
"Brother Song!" Before waiting for the servants to come to sue, Jiang Yuntianfei rushed into the courtyard as usual, and it could be seen that he had been in the dust all the way, and he didn't even take off the armor on his body.
Jiang Yuntian grabbed Song Che's shoulders and said eagerly: "What should be good, how should it be good, the emperor wants to marry Qin'er to Dijon to make peace!" ”
"Don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, rest for a while, rest for a while......" Song Che put aside Jiang Yuntian's palm, which was like a thousand catties.
"How do you tell me to rest! Since hearing the news, I have traveled thousands of miles from Chengdu to Hangzhou every day, just to let you think of a way! Jiang Yuntian grabbed Song Che's arm, kept shaking, and said urgently: "You must have a way, right!" ”
"Ouch, my bone frame is about to be shaken apart by you......" Song Che patted the back of Jiang Yuntian's hand and said comfortingly: "Don't worry, I have already thought of a perfect plan, and the princess can't do it." Jiang Yuntian was overjoyed, and took Song Che into his arms,
"Good brother, I knew it was right to come to you!"
"Ahem...... Song Che coughed dryly twice, and said bitterly: "I'm going to be strangled to death by you!" Jiang Yuntian hurriedly let go of his hand and asked, "What's the plan, come and tell me!" ”
"I'll tell you when your stomach is full. In the past few days and nights, running for 4,000 miles, you are not afraid of death, and I am still afraid of your sudden death. Song Che asked his subordinates to prepare a table of wine and food in the small pavilion, and after letting Jiang Yuntian eat and drink the sea, he informed: "First of all, you rush back to the capital, let Gao Chen do me a favor, and find a way to make you the captain of the escort of this peace and send the princess out of the fortress——"
"What!" Jiang Yuntian spit out the chicken bones in his mouth and stood up from his position: "Didn't you say that there is a way to invalidate Heqin?" Why do you want me to guard? Send your beloved to the outside of the Saiwai, how tormented each other will be! ”
"You sit down first, sit down first," Song Che beckoned, and explained: "The envoys of the two countries have negotiated, peace is a sure thing, no one can change it, but the change lies in the middle of peace and kin, from Tokyo to Saiwai, there are nearly a thousand miles away, at least a month to walk, during this time, anything will happen——"
"For example...... Elope! ”
"You're eloping! There must be no such nonsense! What Song Che is most worried about is that this resolute Jiang Daxia has a hot brain,
"I've planned this game completely, you just have to do what I say, brother, why did I fall off the chain?" Jiang Yuntian wiped the grease stains on his mouth and responded heavily!
Turned around and ran out of the kiosk.
"Hey, it's never too late to rest for the night and then leave......"
"I am her now when I close my eyes, and the farther away I am from her, the more uneasy my heart becomes!"
"You must remember, these are extraordinary times, you can't go in through the window to steal with the princess, and you can't show too much affection, especially in front of Master Jia!"
"Got it! Got it! ”…… At the end of October, the New Year's coins were alive and well, and three large ships were loaded. Song Che was reluctant to say goodbye to his family and embarked on a business journey.
Three days later, at noon, the cargo ship arrived in Yangzhou. Jia Taishi had returned to Beijing half a month ago, leaving Chen Peng in charge of the transfer of New Year's coins.
This Chen Peng is greedy for money, lustful and lazy, in the month of preparing for the New Year's coin, he has not even taken a step in Yangzhou, and he has almost gained weight, which shows that he has not been drunk and dreamed of death this month.
"Lord Chen, you are a transshipment envoy, do you want to inspect the goods first?" Song Che asked, pointing to the cargo ship. Chen Peng just got off the table from Liao Heng's group's wine bureau, and he was staggering when he walked, he waved his hand and said with a smile: "Forget it, Boss Song can even rest assured that Master Jia, so there is no need for this official to do more," he burped, and turned around to say goodbye to Liao Heng and other officials of Yangzhou Mansion,
"Ladies and gentlemen, when you come to the capital in the coming day, you must come to me......" Liao Heng helped Song Che to help Chen Peng onto the cargo ship.
The two looked at each other and smiled, good friends don't need to say much, a word of care is worth a thousand words. The ship left Yangzhou Wharf and went straight to Bianliang, Tokyo.
He agreed with his relatives at the end of the year, less than two months ago, and the faster the time, the better, for this reason, Song Che specially hired a group of slender men to help the cargo ship around the clock, and the voyage that should have been half a month was shortened to five days.
On the eighth day of November of that year, the year-old coin cargo ship arrived in Tokyo. On the docks in Tokyo, the princess's phoenix boat, two official ships, and four frigates are all ready, and they are almost the New Year's coins as a dowry.
Heqin went all the way to the north, first took a boat to Beijing, and then went all the way out of the congestion along Hebei Road, the whole journey was 1,000 miles, and it was expected to take one and a half months, which was quite urgent.
After the cargo ship arrived in Tokyo, the dock was cleared by officers and soldiers, and then began to carry all kinds of supplies to the ship, and thousands of helpers were busy from noon on the eighth day of the new year to the early morning of the ninth day of the new year.
Song Che was not idle, first followed Chen Peng to the Du Branch, settled the silver taels of the year's coin, and then according to the shipment lists of various cloth merchants, jewelers, tea merchants, and ceramic merchants, the corresponding payment was settled, and then exchanged for flying money in the Jinju Academy, and finally asked the postman to escort it to the merchants in the south of the Yangtze River.
After all this, it was early in the morning. The thick night did not mean to break the dawn, and the howling cold wind became more and more bitter.
But there is no shortage of hard-working people in the capital. A small noodle stall has been set up outside the pier. Song Che ordered a bowl of wonton noodles, intending to eat the hot one, but found that the noodle stall owner was crying while cooking noodles.
Song Che asked him why he was crying? He said that our father-in-law is going to get married, and the people are reluctant. Song Che let out a long sigh, and for some reason, the cold wind was a little colder.
