Chapter 23: Chinese New Year's Eve Dreams
In the end, Li Xuanji successfully won more than 10% of the share of this year's customs materials.
The so-called export share is those special materials that are prohibited from leaving the country, such as tea, salt, iron, and other things that are prohibited from trading with the grassland forces.
Although Yunzhou County has been attached to the Great Song Dynasty for nearly 50 years, due to the special geographical location of Yunzhou County, the Great Song Dynasty has a limited share of all special materials entering Yunzhou County.
The four major families relied on their own main lineage to successfully win a large share of materials, which monopolized the trade channels of related businesses in Yunzhou County.
However, where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and the more forbidden things are, the more some people like to take risks and make high profits.
In addition to the materials used in Yunzhou County licensed by the imperial court every year, there are always some families in the customs who want to make more extra money, and they only need to get through the relationship between the customs when Yunzhou County is not attached.
But now, there is another Yunzhou County wrapped outside the Guan, so they can only cooperate with the four major families that have taken root in Yunzhou County to earn these profits together.
Those people in the customs were responsible for sending things out of the customs, while the four major families of Li Chen, Wang and Sun of Yunzhou County sent their own trade materials to the junction of Yunzhou County and the outer grasslands to trade with the foreign herdsmen tribes on the grasslands, earning huge profits from them that were far higher than those in the Guannai.
Among them, the proportion of two sides is two, one is added to five.
And this year, the Li family wants to take an extra layer, which means that the other three families will have to bleed to fill the deficit, after all, those people in the mainland who are short will not come out.
And there is a lot of profit in this, and the profit of just one layer has made the other three very heartbroken.
After discussing the distribution of benefits, the atmosphere of this place is finally lively.
When the light was staggered, everyone was drunk, and when the banquet was over, the guests left, and the Yunkelou regained its calm again.
It was late at night, and the lights in the building were extinguished one by one, only on the fifth floor of the topmost floor of the Yunke Building, at the railing of the window sill, a tall young man quietly held a cup of tea and leaned on the wooden railing, looking at the quiet street outside the building that gradually dimmed, and I didn't know what he was thinking.
"Master, all the conversations on the third floor have been sorted out today, do you want to take a look?"
In the room behind him, a slightly shrill inquiry sounded.
The young man slowly straightened up, put the teacup in his hand to the side, and immediately someone came up to take the teacup.
Stretching comfortably, the young man's dark eyes flashed a touch of sleepiness, and he yawned lazily.
The boy waved his hand:
"Forget it, don't look at it, coming and going is just those dirty things, the hour is not early, this king has to go back to bed first, you send these to be kept, and then take them out to see them off when they are needed."
"Yes! Rajah! ”
Wang Huaien respectfully responded, carefully handed the record book in his hand to the little servant on the side and asked him to take it down and put it away, and immediately arranged a sedan chair.
Not long after, an ordinary curtain sedan chair was lifted at the back door of the Yunke Building and headed towards the Yunwang Mansion......
"Lord Wang, why bother with such a trivial matter as you come in person, I want the slave to say, you just wait in the house, and the people below will handle things well."
"Idle is idle, come and watch them play monkey show and have fun, nothing serious.
Oh yes!
Wang Companion, tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, are all the things that should be prepared in the mansion ready? ”
"Don't worry, everything is ready."
"Where's the convoy?"
"The New Year's reward of the escort team will be issued this year, according to your previous instructions, from tomorrow onwards, the escort team will begin to take turns to rest, and the soldiers who take the initiative to be on duty during the New Year's Festival should be doubled for the month."
"Well, it's a good job, don't worry."
"The prince has won the award, this is what the slave should do, but the prince, there is something ......"
"Just say things, let go if you have a fart, when did you have such a mother-in-law and mother-in-law?"
"Hehe, the slave maid said ha, this time Li County Shou came to discuss that tomorrow is Chinese New Year's Eve, Wang Ye just came to the clan this year, do you want to hold a New Year banquet on Chinese New Year's Eve, call all the heads and brains of this Yunzhou County to gather and pay a New Year's greeting to Wang Ye?"
"Throwing a banquet? Is there a lot of money in the house? ”
"Uh...... Having a banquet should be ......"
"That's all the king's hard-earned money! Inform Li Yi that he will not do it!
If you want to do it, the Yunzhou County Shoufu will pay for it! A group of cows, ghosts, snakes and gods still want to eat the king's food, and they want to eat fart! ”
"Uh, Lord Wang, after all, this is our first year......"
"Do you want to deduct it from your money? Still a few decades of that? ”
"Uh...... The prince is wise, where are these moths worthy of eating the prince's feast! ”
……
The sedan chair faded away, and the street fell completely silent.
……
Cracking sound! Cracking sound! ……
Early in the morning, the entire Yunzhou City was woken up by the sound of firecrackers that resounded throughout the city.
Although Yunzhou County is a grassland county, most of the people in the county are herdsmen.
But there are also many Song people who come here to do business and emigrate.
Early in the morning of Chinese New Year's Eve, the entire Yunzhou City, as long as there is an urban area inhabited by Song people, sounded a deafening sound of firecrackers, and red cloth and red lanterns were hung everywhere.
Stalls were set up in the east and west cities, and all kinds of New Year's goods were displayed in a dazzling array of streets, and Song people crowded the streets with people to buy New Year's goods.
Children run around the streets with rattles and knocking sounds, while the adults behind them shout from time to time not to run, and bargain with the spitting knives of various vendors to get their favorite New Year's goods.
Compared with the past, today's Yunzhou City is the most lively day of the year, from morning to night, until the sun sets, the streets are quiet.
At this time, every household has lit up thousands of lights, and a tempting aroma comes out of each house, permeating the streets, and the whole Yunzhou City seems to have become a sea of fragrance, and there is a mouth-watering fragrance everywhere.
Chinese New Year's Eve, reunion dinner, fireworks after eating.
A series of New Year's processes are carried out in an orderly manner, no less than that of Kannai.
Yunwang Mansion, after eating the reunion dinner and giving New Year's red envelopes to all the subordinates, Zhao Jun threw off Wang Huaien and came to a gazebo in the front yard, and watched the people in the mansion not far away frolicking there and preparing to set off fireworks.
biu! biu! biu! Bang!
The flaming fireworks shot into the air with a scream, exploding into a sky full of brilliant fireworks, causing everyone to exclaim.
Immediately, more fireworks were lifted into the sky, exploding more beautiful fireworks over the Cloud King's Mansion.
The colorful fireworks were reflected in the pupils, and the corners of Zhao Jun's mouth rose slightly, looking at the familiar scene in front of him, and muttered in a low voice:
"Happy New Year, Hometown......"
