Chapter 329 Wan Hu Lingzhu makes a pagoda
Zhao Yu looked at Saping who was kneeling respectfully in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but smile a little.
This Sapin is naturally real, not what anyone is pretending to be. As early as when he returned to Chuzhou from the Western Regions, the two brothers of the Sa family, Saping and Sa'an, came to visit him under the introduction of Shen Wansan and presented "Haiyi Zhi". Later, after he won Yingtian, Saping directly joined him as a staff member. This time he went north to the capital, and Saping volunteered to come with him, so the scene in front of him happened.
Seeing everyone's surprised and inexplicable looks, he waved his hand and said to Sapin, "Get up and speak." Some of these people seem to be your old acquaintances, so find a seat and sit down. ”
Hearing Zhao Yu say this, Sa Ping stood up, looked around for a week, and then his eyes fell on the still stunned Sijian Wei, and said with a smile: "Prime Minister, don't come unharmed." We haven't seen each other for seven or eight years, right? Back then, when the Prime Minister was an official in Fujian and governed the government, the friendship between us was quite deep, but after the Prime Minister moved to the capital, there were fewer contacts. This time, I should have gone to the Prime Minister's Mansion to pay a visit, but I just wanted to accompany the young master of my family, and I couldn't help myself. ”
Since the first time he saw Saping, his brain froze, and he subconsciously bowed his hand. When he heard Sa Pingyao's words back then, his face couldn't help but be slightly hot, when he was an official in Fujian, he was not a prominent official position, and he rarely had the opportunity to climb a top wealthy family like the Sa family. Even if he was fortunate enough to attend the banquet of the Sa family, he was only at the end of the table among the powerful people, and he could only look at it from afar. Because of this, after he returned to Dadu and relied on Pu Buhua's backer, he was still very heartbroken about the rich style of the Sa family whenever he remembered the events of the past. Therefore, when refuting Zhao Yu, he opened his mouth to say the name of the Sa family, on the one hand, he wanted to use this to elevate his communication skills, and on the other hand, he still subconsciously regarded the Sa family as an unattainable existence.
Even if his identity is no longer what it used to be, when facing Sa's children, he still has some lack of confidence in his heart, and he feels ashamed of himself. After listening to Saping's greetings and apologies, he hurriedly arched his hand and said: "Brother Sa is serious, we are all old friends for many years, where will we ...... Slow down, the young master that Brother Sa said, could it be this prince?"
As he spoke, his eyes flashed with horror again, and he looked at Zhao Yu, who was smiling and groaning.
After hearing this, Saping seemed to be quite proud and said: "Although my Sa family is not a Zhongding family, there are very few who are willing to serve it as the Lord. The young master of my family is naturally the prince of the Nanyang royal family. ”
Speaking of this, Saping bowed down to Zhao Yu with a respectful face. The appearance of the board and the eye made Zhao Yu feel sorry in his heart.
As soon as these words came out, everyone's eyes looking at Zhao Yu suddenly flashed with a layer of awe and curiosity. The Sa clan had a family of thousands of dollars, and they were a truly noble family that could be despised by princes, but they were willing to serve this young man as their lord and regard themselves as slaves! Such a sensational thing would not have dared to be imagined unless they had seen it with their own eyes!
Park Dabao didn't know much about the meaning of the Fujian Sa's represent, but he saw that his new acquaintance with this prince was only a slave under him, and he was already happy to be able to call the prime minister a brother and sister, and since then he has no doubts about Zhao Yu's identity. Thinking of the information he knew before, he looked at Zhao Yu again with a more eager look, where is this person, it is clearly a living God of Wealth!
But he still refused to give up, and continued to ask the bottom of the question: "But, how come I have never heard of the name of this Nanyang royal family?
On the way to Saping, he had heard Yang Xiao describe the situation here, and after hearing this, he smiled and said: "The Prime Minister doesn't know, the young master of my family has been settled in Nanyang for hundreds of years, and has always been low-key, but his influence is extremely far-reaching, which is in line with the old saying 'moisturizing things silently'." Those people in Nanyang, Tai half benefited from the Wang family, but they rarely knew about it. Even my family was only appreciated by the old master more than 20 years ago and worshiped under the royal family, as for those ordinary people, where would they have such an honor!"
Hearing Saping's words, everyone couldn't help but gasp again, they couldn't imagine what kind of behemoth this Wang family was, and even the wealthy Fujian Sa family was proud to worship under his door!
Seeing that the eunuch still refused to believe it, Saping continued: "Does the prime minister remember that one year, all the pearl ships from the South Seas disappeared, causing the price of jewelry in Fuzhou to rise several times?"
Wei Sijian carefully recalled for a moment before nodding and saying, "There is such a thing, didn't the explanation at that time say that the Nanyang storm blocked the sea traffic?"
Saping shook his head with a smile and said: "For people who are not qualified to know the inside story, it is natural to say this, the truth is that it was the birthday of the old master of my family, that is, the grandfather of Wang Gongzi's grandson, and the Tianbao Jiuru was happy, and the pearl merchants of the entire Nanyang discussed to celebrate the birthday of the old man, and the sea pearls collected in Nanyang throughout the year were preserved, and a blessing tower was built! You might as well imagine that such a majestic scene can be comforted by just one glance!"
When Saping said this, the entire attic was suddenly silent, and even the sound of breathing was gone, and the needle could be heard! The pagoda built by dozens of zhang high pearls, not to mention imagining that picture, just hearing this word, everyone was so frightened that they even forgot to breathe!
A chuckle broke the silence in the attic that lasted for a long time, but it was Zhao Yu who couldn't help laughing. Although he has been pretending to be in the city, there is always a limit, but Sapin is a boundless nonsense, but what he says as his identity cannot be believed by everyone. Dozens of feet high Zhu Pagoda?
However, Zhao Yu's smile couldn't help but smile, and in the eyes of everyone, it was his own proud handwriting that was talked about, and he couldn't help but feel joy in his heart. Originally, it was a thing that had no credibility, but once people accepted it, they would believe it and even subconsciously look for a reasonable explanation, just like Park Dabao couldn't help but lose his words and said: "No wonder the prince is so generous that he carries the treasures of the three ships to the north of Dadu, and it turns out that he has such a noble family background!"
With the evidence of Park Dabao's gaffe, everyone became more and more convinced of Saping's words.
Saping still sighed with a look of amazement: "It's a pity that the old man is kind-hearted and doesn't want to make the world unpeaceful because of his family's affairs." Therefore, the pearl pagoda was demolished after only half a month of construction, and all the jewels were transported to Middle-earth, which caused the price of jewelry in Fuzhou to fall by more than seventy percent. ”
A series of unbelievable things came out of Saping's mouth, especially when there was another contemplative supervisor beside him who subconsciously nodded in confirmation, and everyone only felt that the common sense of the past collapsed. It turns out that the real rich are not inexhaustible in fine clothes and food, but the thought of stirring the whole world! If the real rich reach this level, what is the difference between it and the supreme emperor? Even the emperor cannot have such an unparalleled influence in the whole world!
Saping was still unsatisfied, smacking his lips and continuing: "This time, I accompanied the young master to Dadu, and I should have visited all my friends one by one, but I haven't been able to find time so far, I'm really sorry. Now that everyone is gathered together, there is something that you might as well inform everyone in advance, so as not to catch you off guard and have no time to arrange. Next year is the old man's birthday, and this time it is finally the turn of the Han family to decorate. In view of the fact that the elderly were not happy with the people and money several times in the past, the Han family is ready to do the opposite. ”
Hearing this, everyone couldn't help but prick up their ears, wanting to hear what the Sa family had to do to build the scenery of the pearl tower.
After everyone's eyes looked at him, Saping spoke: "This time, the Han family doesn't plan to give any treasures to the old man, to be honest, with the financial skills of the Nanyang royal family, except for the stars and moon in the sky, there is nothing on this ground that they can't get." Therefore, this time, the Han family is ready to invest in the old man's favor, in view of the chaos in the world for a long time, the people are not able to make a living, starting from March next year, they will transport grain from the Western Regions and Nanyang to Middle Earth, and sell it at a price lower than 50% of the market price, so that everyone in the world can eat!"
Rao is people were already horrified, and after hearing the news, they still felt a thunderbolt slam on their heads. For example, today's chaos is largely due to the continuous famine and the extremely high price of food, and the people who have nothing to eat will naturally commit chaos, so that the situation will be corrupted. And if the Sa family can accomplish such a righteous act, the current erosive situation is bound to ease a little, and this is a great deal that truly blesses the world! Some people who are already worried about the country and the people can't help but wail in their hearts, if the old man of the Wang family can live this great birthday a few years earlier, the world's lonely anti-thieves don't know how many percent less!
After listening to what Sa Ping said, he retorted: "Brother Sa's words seem to be a bit out of bounds, do you know how many households there are in the world? Do you know how many roads and mansions there are in Shannanhaibei? If you want 50% of the market price of grain to be collected by all the people, can you mobilize so much grain? I don't mean to look down on your Sa family, but this kind of thing is definitely not something that can be done by one family, if you force it to do it, I am afraid that it will be difficult to achieve results if you are tired and your family resources are scattered!"
When everyone heard this, their originally agitated mood cooled down slightly, and they all stared at Sapin, wanting to hear how he answered.
Saping pondered for a moment before he said: "The Prime Minister doesn't know that the Han family has been planning for several years in order to prepare for this matter. It is true that Middle-earth has been suffering from famine for many years, and if you want to prepare so much food at one time, not to mention the Han family, even His Majesty the Emperor will not be able to do it. However, Nanyang is not the case, in the past few years, the wind and rain have been smooth, the Han family has made some transactions with Champa, Java and other countries, the people have reclaimed a large area of fertile land, and the rice harvest here is two or even three times a year, and the price of grain is more than several times cheaper than that of the Central Plains. At the same time, the Han family also invited several major families in Nanyang to promote this matter......"
Sapin talked eloquently, from the turnover and transportation of goods all the way to the adjustment of the harvest year. He was originally a big expert in hoarding business, and it was naturally very simple to let these ignorant Mongolian nobles not see the loopholes. In the end, everyone had already believed in this matter, and even the eunuch couldn't find the loophole in it, so he could only bow his head and be silent.
In the end, Saping smiled again: "Today, I will inform you that if you have the idea of preserving the value of the grain, you might as well postpone it for a while, and if there is any grain in the house, it is best to deal with it properly before the price of grain falls." Otherwise, next year's food prices will plummet, and I am afraid that you will suffer heavy losses. ”
When everyone heard this, they couldn't help but secretly call for luck, but fortunately they came to the church today to hear about this incident. Even if these Mongolian nobles are not good at business, they also understand this most simple truth. Food prices have been rising year after year, making it the most suitable commodity for hoarding for profit. Each of them had a large amount of food stockpiled. If you can't know in advance, you don't know how much you will lose when food prices fall sharply next year!
When Zhao Yu heard this, he couldn't help but secretly give Sa Ping a thumbs up. Sure enough, the annihilators are the experts in pitting people, and seeing the expressions of these people's undoubted faith, there is a lot of room for operation in this matter! )
