Spread rumors with one mouth, refute rumors and break your legs.

The first thing Zhu Qijin did after he got on the business trip was to calm public opinion and appease the people......

It took more than ten days to finally settle down the people.

Han Wangfu.

Li Qing, Li Hong, and Zhu Qijin negotiated trade.

"Speaking of which, this king and Li Zongbing are also old acquaintances, and they were in the Yongqing Marquis Mansion in the past...... Mr. Li still remembers, right? Zhu Qijin had already remembered this incident, and he came up to get close.

His purpose is very simple - they are all acquaintances, and give a friendship price.

Li Hong naturally understood this, and said with a smile: "Oh? Is it? The official doesn't remember this, King Han said so, so he should have it. ”

"It's not just a fact!" Zhu Qijin hurriedly helped him recall, "You forgot? At that time, we almost had a misunderstanding, speaking of which, Mrs. Ling is still my niece......"

Li Hong's face darkened: Thank you for helping me remember!

Although it was a misunderstanding, it also caused Li Hong to have a bad impression of this guy, especially the so-called 'elder' of Zhu Qijin, and he was even more repulsive.

But this is also a fact, Li Hong is unhappy, but he can't refute it.

"Let's talk about business first." Li Hong interrupted his balabala and said, "Ming commodities go to sea, it has always been a public price, King Han rest assured, how it was in the past, and how it is now." ”

Zhu Qijin's heart eased and nodded happily: "Da Ming is benevolent, the emperor is benevolent, and General Li is ......."

Before he finished speaking, he heard Li Hong continue: "A horse of silk is fifteen taels of silver, what does the King of Han think?" ”

"Huh? This ......" Zhu Qijin was dumbfounded.

This is the price you were ten years ago, and it is still the price set by the imperial court, and the price of silk for private merchant ships is only twelve taels; At present, it is even lower to ten taels, and a silk horse is five taels higher than the market price...... Zhu Qijin was annoyed in his heart, but when he thought of the battleship group on the coastline, he was busy suppressing his anger again.

I have no choice but to break the fortune and eliminate the disaster.

Zhu Qijin pinched his nose and nodded: "Fair." ”

"Since the price of silk Han Wang has no objection, what ......about tea, porcelain, and spices?"

"The king has no objections."

"Well, that's good."

Li Hong smiled, Zhu Qijin MMP.

Agree on the price of the commodity, and the next step is the transaction value.

Zhu Qijin said boldly: "13,000 pieces of silk, 500 catties of tea, and 3,000 pieces of porcelain...... Don't let the Ming soldiers work hard, and the king sent people to unload the goods. ”

He felt that it was very interesting, and he spent 100,000 taels more than the market price for the same amount of goods.

Li Hong said: "King Han is stingy, Jiaozhi has a population of no less than eight million, what is this enough for?" ”

"Uh-huh...... Li Zongbing didn't know that Jiaozhi didn't dare to compare with the Ming Dynasty, and the people here were not rich...... Ahem, green water flows, we're not a hammer deal, don't you say? ”

After a pause, he added: "The things of the Heavenly Empire, how can Jiaozhi enjoy them exclusively?" ”

Zhu Qijin smiled and said: "Jiaozhi is close to Daming, but there is no shortage of Daming goods, there are good things, or close to others' good, who are we with whom...... Going back to the roots, we are still a family. ”

There's nothing wrong with that!

Zhu Qijin has clan blood, Li Hong is a descendant of Li Wenzhong, and it is really a family to trace the source.

According to the generation, Li Hong should call Zhu Qijin a cousin.

However, after so many generations of cousins, they are no longer close now, not to mention, Hanhan's vein is exiled to Jiaozhi, and it is not even officially recognized by the Ming Dynasty.

Li Hong doesn't want to be cheap Zhu Qijin, otherwise, the cannon will not be in vain?

"A little more." Li Hong does not bend and twist, and goes straight with a single knife.

“…… They are all their own people, and since Li Zongbing said so, then add two thousand pieces of silk. Zhu Qijin was helpless.

Li Hong twisted his eyebrows and said, "In this way, let's make a good calculation, what about silk, 20,000 horses, 5,000 pieces of porcelain, and nothing else will be added." ”

Why don't you go and grab it?

Zhu Qijin almost couldn't help but lift the table, "Mr. Li, what this king said has exceeded the number of purchases in previous years, no matter how much, I really can't eat it." ”

"King Han is humble."

“…… I'll add another two thousand horses of silk, and any more will not do. Zhu Qijin gritted his teeth and said.

"Let's take a step back." Li Qing played a round, "There are still 3,000 pieces of porcelain, and 20,000 pieces of silk, so it's decided." ”

You're going to be compromised...... Zhu Qijin glared at Li Qing hatefully.

Without waiting to speak, Li Hong set the tone, "That's it, it's okay for the official to suffer a little loss." ”

Zhu Qijin is full of slots: Are you at a loss? Silk alone is enough to extort 100,000 taels from me, where are you going to suffer?

But what about him?

On one side is the battleship cannon, and on the other side is the temptation of longevity, no matter how annoyed Zhu Qijin is, he has to pinch his nose and admit it.

"Alas...... So be it. Zhu Qijin nodded with a wry smile and added: "This is all over the amount, within a year, the goods of the Ming Dynasty will not be able to eat Jiaozhi." ”

"Well said, well said." Li Hong smiled and nodded, anyway, he brought out all the inventory of the Ming Dynasty, and the imperial court would not go to sea to trade again in the short term.

"King Fang Cai said that they are all his own people, and this official thinks it is true." Li Hong suddenly changed his posture and said affectionately, "The ship needs supplies, and the King of Han wants to give a preferential price!" ”

Hearing this, Zhu Qijin almost sweared.

Co-authoring are you going to do it again, and you want to?

"There aren't many supplies needed, so King Han doesn't need to be in pain." Li Qing said a human word.

Zhu Qijin felt a little better, forced a smile, and said: "Little things, it's all my own family, haha......"

Forget it, hundreds of thousands of taels of silver have been smashed out, it's not bad...... Zhu Qijin comforted himself.

…

After signing the transaction documents, Li Qing no longer cares about these trivial things, and wanders around in Jiaozhi......

Unloading, collection, replenishment, payment...... It takes time, at least more than ten days, just take this opportunity to relax and experience the feeling of being down-to-earth.

Zhu Wanqing's mother and daughter also got off the boat, but in order to avoid suspicion that they were all men's attire, their long hair was hidden in their hats, fake beards were glued to their lips and chins, thick black short eyebrows were drawn, and their breasts were wrapped inside, which did not attract attention.

"It's winter, and it's pretty warm here." Li Xue'er was surprised, "Mother, do you feel it?" ”

Zhu Wanqing nodded: "That's true, don't say that Jingshi is much warmer than Jinling, it's really weird......

Well..., one side of the water and soil raises one side of the people, and the temperature difference between the north and south of the Ming Dynasty is not small, but there is nothing strange about it. ”

Li Xue'er said happily: "If you can travel thousands of miles a day, then it must be excellent to come here for the New Year every New Year's Day." ”

"You're a daydreamer." Zhu Wanqing sneered and shook her head, and when she saw Li Qing coming, she hurriedly stepped forward and said, "Uncle Li, how long will Brother Hong be busy?" ”

"Ten days." Li Qing quipped, "What, miss him?" ”

"Uncle Li, you're so annoying." Zhu Wanqing glanced at him with disgust, and was teased in front of her daughter, she was very uncomfortable, and said instead: "Uncle Li, I have an idea." ”

"Isn't this the right place to build a workshop?"

Zhu Wanqing was surprised, and then admired, "Uncle Li, you are really a god." ”

She nodded and asked, "Is that okay?" ”

"No, you can't." Li Qing shook his head, "Da Ming himself hasn't developed yet, why are you cheap outsiders?" ”

Zhu Wanqing said: "If we don't do it, others will do it in the future." ”

"No one can do it!" Li Qing is categorical and unquestionable.

"Why?" Li Xue'er was puzzled and interjected.

Li Qing said lightly: "This is the Daming granary I booked. ”

“？”

Li Xue'er looked confused, but Zhu Wanqing realized, "I know Uncle Li." ”

"Mother, what do you know?"

"Adults talk, children don't interject."

Li Xueer: (╯▽╰)

Zhu Wanqing asked, "Uncle Li, do you have a belly case?" ”

"The key to this matter lies in Zhu Qijin, and I will talk to him in depth in the future." Li Qingdao said, "Anyway, I will come often in the future, and it shouldn't be difficult to promote this." ”

After a pause, he changed the subject: "Are you still used to it on the boat?" ”

"At first, I didn't get used to it, but gradually I didn't feel uncomfortable." Zhu Wanqing smiled bitterly, her tone was inevitably resentful, "It's just ...... Brother Hong is very busy, and he doesn't know how to care about it. ”

"It's the first time he's going to sea, and when he gets used to it, he'll be free." Li Qing couldn't help but laugh and said.

Li Xue'er: "I'm quite used to it. ”

"Wanqing, do you have a place to stay at night?" Li Qing cares.

Li Xueer: "......"

"No, Li Hong, who has no conscience, has completely forgotten me." Zhu Wanqing snorted and said, "Uncle Li, you have a good relationship with that Zhu Qijin, help me arrange it, I don't want to sleep on the boat all the time." ”

"No problem."

"And me." Li Xueer added.

Li Qing glanced at her coldly, and said lightly: "Your mother naturally lives with your father, what is the matter with you?" ”

"I, I want to ...... too"

"Sleep wherever you want, and no one cares if you sleep on the sea." Li Qing put aside the next sentence, turned around and continued to enjoy the scenery.

Sue.. State.

Tang Bohu packed his luggage, took the coil, and set foot on the road to Beijing.

The test will be in March next year, and it stands to reason that there is no need to be in such a hurry, however, not everyone is in a hurry like Li Qing, and usually, they have to rush to Beijing several months in advance.

Candidates in remote places will even be more than half a year in advance.

Leave early, not to be in a hurry, but also to avoid overwork, injury and illness; At the same time, it can also sharpen the gun in the process of rushing.

Tang Bohu is confident, but not arrogant.

As the saying goes: there are people outside the world, and there is a sky outside the sky; Daming is so big, there has always been no shortage of talents, and he, the head of the four great talents in Jiangnan, is also difficult to come out on top.

It was the winter moon, but Tang Bohu's heart was hot.

Over the years, the Tang family has fallen into the middle, but the old Tang left a very thick foundation for his son, although Tang Bohu is not good at management, and often fights righteousness and squanders money, he still has a lot of family assets.

hired a carriage, Tang Bohu was unhurried, leisurely, holding a book, and studying every day......

The farther north, the colder the weather becomes, and Tang Bohu, who has lived in the water town south of the Yangtze River since he was a child, felt the wind chill when he was not careful.

As a last resort, Tang Bohu had to recuperate first and postpone his entry to Beijing.

However, it was such a delay that caused him a lot of trouble.

For no other reason, the identity of the great talent of Jiangnan was recognized......
