Section 18, Panyu Wharf (II)
Ambergris, this superb spice was troubled by Lu Qianqian in the East City, and almost overnight, the entire Panyu City knew about it, and An An thought that this Lu Qianqian was also a black line. www.biquge.info It can be said that as soon as he took out the little ambergris, the whole process was in this woman's calculation, but An An inadvertently cooperated, no one expected that this woman was bargaining, so she simply made the matter public, and directly caught An An off guard. No, since returning to the secret base of the Chen family, Chen Yu began to meet guests, and now they are still in the front hall, the Sun family, the Li family, and the named merchants of Panyu City Road, all came over to ask, most of them in addition to the friendship, they just want to ask directly, their purpose is very simple, either agree to their price request, or directly rob it, this is called salute before the soldiers.
The sweat beads on Chen Yu's forehead have not been done at all, even if it is early autumn at the moment, and the temperature in the middle of the night is more than ten degrees, but at this moment he feels more and more anxious and uneasy, especially the Nanhai County Shou also sent a master to ask, is the purpose, I also want to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, who knows that the wind of fighting for wealth is rampant in the capital now, and all this today is not so weird, after all, there is a fight in the sky, the underground suffers, and the wealthy are fighting for wealth, and the dependent families and officials below will naturally try their best to curry favor, and the best ambergris is a spice that can not be found, in the words of the scholar: This thing is only in the sky, and it is rare to smell it in the world。
An An naturally knew these truths, and wealthy politics prevailed in the Western Jin Dynasty. Under the gate valve system of sharing political and economic privileges according to the level of the family's rank, the wealthy families chased fame and fortune, despised and industrious, and competed with extravagance to boast about it, and the world style sank day by day. Shi Chong (249-300), the son of the official eunuch, was known as Ji Lun, and his nickname was Qi Nu. A native of Nanpi (now northeast of Nanpi, Hebei). Situ Shibao's youngest son. In Jingzhou, he plundered merchants and became rich. History, its "abundant wealth, magnificent room". There are hundreds of concubines, all wearing gold and jade, gorgeous clothes, as for the food, all of them are selected at that time, and there are countless treasures and fields.
Even in the toilet of the Shi family, there are often more than a dozen maids, and beautiful clothes and makeup are lined up. It is also equipped with spices such as nail decoction powder and agarwood for the use of visitors. After the guests went to the toilet, they put on new clothes before letting them out. As a result, many guests are embarrassed to go to the toilet. Every time Shi Chong invites guests to a banquet, he often asks the beauties around him to toast the guests. If the guest has not finished drinking, kill the toasting beauty immediately. Prime Minister Wang Dao and Zhendong General Wang Dunzeng went to Shi's house together, Wang Dao has always been unable to drink, always barely drunk, so that he gets drunk. But Wang Dun insisted on not drinking the toast, and Shi Chong killed three beauties in a row, but he still didn't drink. And said without changing his face: He killed his own family, what does it matter to us. What is jaw-dropping is the battle for wealth between Shi Chong and the nobles Wang Kai, Yang Xiu and others.
Wang Kai, the word Junfu, is a native of Tancheng in the East China Sea (now Tancheng, Shandong). The son of Wang Su, Marquis of Wei Lanling, and the uncle of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. Officers to generals. repeatedly fought with Shi Chong: he washed the pot with caramel and dry rice, and Shi Chong used candles as firewood; He used purple gauze to make a walking barrier for forty miles, and Shi Chong used brocade to make a walking barrier for fifty miles. Shi Chong used spices and peppercorns to make mud and smear the walls of his houses; Wang Kai used terracotta red stone grease to paint the walls. Once, in order to help his uncle win, Emperor Wu of Jin gave Wang Kai a coral tree, two feet high, with branches and branches, which is rare in the world. Wang Kai proudly showed it to Shi Chong, who knew that Shi Chong held the iron Ruyi in his hand and smashed the coral tree. Wang Kai was immediately dumbfounded, and while deploring the treasures, he decided that Shi Chong was "envious, jealous and hateful", and couldn't help but change his face and scolded sharply.
Shi Chong said disapprerovingly, don't hold a grudge, I'll pay you right away. So he ordered his men to bring out six or seven coral trees, three or four feet high, with a sleek and uncommon splendor and shining brightly. And like Wang Kai's strain, he has a lot of family collections. In the end, Wang Kai lost himself. Another noble relative, Yang Xiu (?-278), was a native of Taishan Nancheng (now Zaozhuang, Shandong). The cousin of Sima Shi's wife, he has been with Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty since he was a child, and he has a close relationship. The official is in charge of the forbidden army for thirteen years, and he is deeply favored. He likes to have fun, drink and feast, and spend his days and nights, mixing men and women from his cousins' clan. He spends money lavishly and pays attention to pomp and circumstance. The charcoal is deliberately crushed, and then the charcoal chips are kneaded into the shape of a beast before it is used to burn warm wine. This kind of struggle for wealth has made the nobles in the capital Luoyang compete to follow suit.
There is also a noble relative Wang Ji, whose name is Wuzi, a native of Jinyang, Taiyuan (now Taiyuan, Shanxi). Son of Situ Wang Hun. Married Princess Changshan, the daughter of Sima Yan, Emperor Wu of the Jin Dynasty. The official is in the middle of the servant. He likes to raise horses and is known as a "horse fetish". In the north of the city where there are many people and land is expensive, he bought land to build a horse riding and archery range. The walls of the racecourse were all arranged with money turns, and it was called "Golden Ditch" at that time. He fought with Wang Kai to get rich, using a bet method. Wang Kai has a cow called "Eight Hundred Miles", with mixed coat colors, and travels eight hundred miles a day. is regarded by Wang Kai as a treasure of the heart, and often cleans up the horns and hooves of the cow very cleanly. Wang Ji came to the door and paid 10 million (equivalent to 1,000 taels of gold) to Wang Kai, asking for a bet on shooting "800 miles".
Wang Kai relied on his baby to run very fast, and he didn't wait to aim and left, so he agreed and let Wang Ji shoot first. Unexpectedly, Wang Ji bent his bow and arrows, hit with one shot, and ordered his entourage to quickly take the heart of the ox. In the blink of an eye, he cut off the heart of the cow and left. Under the hierarchical gate valve system, it is inevitable that the privileged class will use their power to seek personal gains, seize social resources, and squander social resources, and it is inevitable that there will be farces and ugly dramas of competing for the rich and rich. Needless to say, extravagance became one of the reasons for accelerating the demise of the Western Jin Dynasty.
This is also the reason why Chen Yu was in a cold sweat, and An An could still practice his "Three Yuan Sutra" in bed with peace of mind, after all, he was also a strange commodity at this moment, and if he wanted to harm him, he naturally wanted to protect him, after all, everyone in this era was in danger, and no one could have imagined that such a good thing could not be on An An's body, kill him, and no one would get it. So the next day, someone provoked, and someone sent guards to the door of this Chen family's mansion, which was no longer a secret, and it can be said that it was more lively outside than inside.
"Yo, Chen Jiabao, who has thousands of armor soldiers, is now a shrunken turtle in our Panyu City, no matter what, dare to come to our Panyu City to do business, and I'm afraid that we won't kill you, come out, we Nanhai people pay the most attention to honesty in business, and they will definitely not take advantage of it." A sharp-mouthed voice shouted at the door.
"Yo, I don't know what's going on, how did our Chen Jiabao bring in the father-in-law of the imperial court. Santael, don't invite this father-in-law to the house for tea. An An opened the door of the mansion with three taels and two taels, and after a night of pranayama, he not only successfully eliminated the harm caused by Lu Qianqian's Meishu to himself, but also seemed to have a magnificent sea of qi, and his whole body was very comfortable, and he was about to practice his "Annan Ten Styles", but he didn't expect it to be noisy outside. I was suddenly angry, but I didn't expect to meet a voice that was neither male nor female as soon as I went out. An An didn't know that tens of thousands of grass and mud horses had emerged in his heart, how could he be so unlucky.
