Daming One Piece

Chapter 114 Baby (Second update, please recommend, please collect)
That night, the Zhonghua Guild Hall in Hoi An was extremely lively, and Li Guinan and other wealthy merchants in Hoi An held a banquet here to clean up Shi Yiwen and his party.

Cleaning the dust banquet is a common ceremony, but at the banquet, everyone talked and talked, and in the end the topic still revolved around the matter they were most concerned about-grain trading.

Of course, Shi Yiwen understood everyone's thoughts, after drinking for three rounds, he said.

"When I went back this time, the grain was directly transported to Liaodong. You may not be clear about it. At present, the Liaodong army is short of food, so this batch of grain not only made a lot of money, but also relieved the urgent needs of the imperial court. You can be said to have contributed a lot! If I have a chance in the future, I will definitely report your contributions to the imperial court one by one."

It was said that Li Guinan, Sun Chuan, Cao Yinfei and others were all very happy. For these local tyrants, they don't care about money, they have money, what do they care about?
Of course it's fame.

In fact, businessmen are very easy to coax, as long as they are hypocritical, start from the reputation, just like those Chinese businessmen in Nanyang in the late Qing Dynasty, who were rewarded with a red cap and appointed as a consul or other official position, which one did not immediately pay for it? Silver pays off.

But everyone likes fame, likes false fame, Daming didn't learn this point!
Daming didn't learn it, it's okay.If there is a chance in the future, let's use it.

Isn't it just taking pictures of cats and tigers!

However, he had to find an opportunity to resolve his identity.Just pulling a tiger's skin as a banner is not a long-term solution.

This matter, I have to think of a way later!
Report the credit to the court!
This is a great thing for Guangzong Yaozu!Feeling happy, Sun Chuan said hastily.

"Mr. Shi, when you returned to the Celestial Dynasty, we dispatched the stewards of various families to purchase grain in various places in Annan. Although it was a bit hasty, there are now no less than [-] shi of grain in each warehouse. Look at this... "

Before Sun Chuan could finish speaking, Shi Yiwen, who came back to his senses, said.

"Sun Dong's family can rest assured that the company will purchase all the grain at the price."

Shi Yiwen said directly.

One hundred thousand shi of grain is not too much.

Three two-masted ships can hold [-] shi, and the smaller "Black Pearl" can hold [-] shi. The remaining [-] shi of grain can be loaded into the space. The warehouse on the edge of the supermarket is still empty. A small place can hold tens of thousands of shi of grain at least.

Become!

It seemed that this business would definitely last for a long time. When Sun Chuan and the others were delighted, they even began to think about how to maximize their profits.

For a while, everyone was in a state of confusion, and each had various thoughts.Looking at their expressions, Shi Yiwen didn't expose their thoughts, human beings are always driven by interests.

Food, but that's just the beginning.

Shi Yiwen said.

"What about this time? In addition to continuing to smuggle food, I also brought some goods. In addition to the artillery and gunpowder I ordered last time, I also brought a thing. Please keep an eye on it."

When the voice fell, he nodded to the entourage by the door.The servant by the door shouted into the courtyard.

"Xu Ye, go and carry the young master with his things."

"Yes."

Outside the guild hall, someone responded loudly. Immediately, more than a dozen clerks carried their hands on their shoulders, and at an extremely slow pace, they carried over half a person's height and covered under the red silk.

Everyone looked at the things being carried in, and they all stood up one after another.Suspicious eyes.

"What the hell is it?"

Li Guinan was puzzled.

"Long eyes? Could it be something new?"

"Could it be a baby from the palace!"

"In the palace? That's for the emperor!"

For a while, there was a murmur of discussion around the table. On the one hand, they were a little curious. On the other hand, it was because of Shi Yiwen's background. He was a big shot from the capital, and he was sent by the emperor. Someone would have doubted his identity if he was in Jiangnan, even if he was in Guangdong, there would be doubts. After all, there are Ming officials there.But it's different here. Apart from a group of local tyrants, what kind of officials are there?

Yes, Song Yunjie is an official, but this official dreams of hugging golden thighs, and then changing from a "barbarian official" to an official of Ming Dynasty.

In other words, this place is full of ignorant local tyrants with their own ideas, so naturally they don't have any doubts about Shi Yiwen's identity. The most important thing is that, in their opinion, every time this person brings something Not ordinary!

Although they are here in the name of a private person at the moment, after all, they are here on behalf of the old man of the emperor to run errands. Now that they have a good relationship with him, if the old man of the emperor rewards them for their merits in the future, how can they treat them badly.At that time, even if it is to let a meritorious memorial archway be erected, it will be a matter of honoring the ancestors!
After the things were brought in, he followed Shi Yiwen and walked over. He first smiled and bowed to everyone, and then laughed again.

"You may have seen this thing before. It's rare, but it's quite rare. It's common, but I dare say you haven't seen anything like it!"

Seeing everyone's curious eyes, Shi Yiwen pulled down the red silk cloth with his own hands, and when the red silk fell, the baby underneath was exposed.

"ah!"

Everyone was stunned for a moment, and some even took half a step back involuntarily for a moment. They stared at the things in front of them with wide eyes, all of them looked surprised, and some even screamed out loud. "

What was reflected in front of them were surprised faces, not only their appearances were clear, but even every hair on their faces could be seen clearly.

This is... a mirror!
"Mirror, mirror..."

Li Guinan and the others opened their eyes wide in surprise, they even rubbed their eyes involuntarily, and then looked at the glass mirror in front of them in a large carved mahogany frame in astonishment.

Glass mirrors are not uncommon in this era.

After all, as early as a century ago, Venetian craftsmen invented the glass mirror. Under their strict secrecy, the glass mirror is a very rare treasure until now. A few dozen years ago, a French queen got married and was given by Venice. The gift, a mirror the size of a book, but this little mirror was the most expensive thing at the time, worth 15 francs.

Is it expensive?

Very expensive!

That was more than half a century ago. Now, such glass mirrors are much cheaper. After all, even the Venetians know that they can’t just sell them at high prices, but should lower their prices appropriately.

At present, a large mirror the size of a book probably needs... well, 500 taels of silver!
And how big is the mirror in front of them?
