Ming dynasty grand dude

The price of one grain starts at $[-], which is still a start! !

If it is made into a string of [-] pieces that Housekeeper Xiao Zhou took out, they will be the size of a thumb belly, and they will all be scroll beads...

It is estimated to start at 20 knives, after all, this is a bunch!

Young Master Zhang could feel the fiery gazes of Miao An and Ashikaga Tsuru beside him without even looking back.

Women... After all, seeing beautiful jewelry, I can't move.

"Let him come and see."

Young Master Zhang smiled and said softly to Housekeeper Xiao Zhou: "You also need to worry about returning gifts, don't make it appear that we are taking advantage of others."

Butler Xiao Zhou naturally smiled and said respectfully, while looking at him, Young Master Zhang sighed.

"You can also accept the share he gave you! When returning the gift, just return your share."

"Uncle Zhou is also getting older, this time I will go back and bring him some things to show my filial piety."

Hearing his little father-in-law's words, Zhou Jinshan's eyes turned red and he nodded quickly.

Leaving behind the pearl chain, they bowed and retreated. Miao An and Ashikaga Tsuru rushed to see the housekeeper Xiao Zhou cheering when he left the room.

The two girls picked up the golden bead chatteringly and marveled, Miao An said that she would bring one back to the old lady.

Ashikaga Crane said that he would bring one to Empress Zhang, while Grandpa Zhang smiled wryly.

He doesn't like to take advantage of others, he doesn't have this habit.

But the era of the Ming Dynasty pays attention to human relations and etiquette, so it can only do enough in return.

For example, if you accept this Nanyang gold pearl from someone else, then you have to return the high-grade Dongzhu to him in return.

The value of the top-grade Dongzhu is not much worse than this Jinzhu, especially in the current low productivity.

According to Qing's "Neiwufu Zouan":

In the 25th year of Qianlong's reign, a total of 110 oriental pearls were captured by Dasao Ula, and only 23 of the first-class oriental pearls were captured.

In the 26th year of Qianlong's reign, [-] oriental pearls were captured, and only [-] of the first-class oriental pearls were captured.

It was so precious that when Heshen was given to death, one of his crimes was "possessing Dongzhu privately".

In the entire Qing Dynasty, Dongzhu was worn with grade requirements.

But he basically doesn't need to worry about this, and housekeeper Xiao Zhou will know how to deal with it.

"Du Du~" There was a knock on the door, and then the housekeeper Xiao Zhou's voice came: "Master, Mr. Zhou Tong has arrived."

Miao An and Ashikaga Crane heard the knock on the door, put away the pearls and hurriedly stood behind Young Master Zhang.

"Come in!"

Young Master Zhang shook his head helplessly, seeing that they were all standing up, he ordered Housekeeper Xiao Zhou to lead them in.

Seeing Hong Zhoutong's appearance, although Young Master Zhang was a little curious, he was not displeased.

He has seen too many cruel and weird-looking people, but the yellow waxy face and dead fish eyes can't scare him.

"Plop~!" What Zhang Xiaogong, Zhou Jinshan and others did not expect was that Hong Zhoutong immediately knelt down on his knees when he came in.

Seeing that Hong Zhoutong was actually "Bang bang bang..." Mr. Zhang, he kowtowed directly!

Zhang Xiaogong was confused, what's the matter? !

"Mr. Zhou Tong, please hurry up, what are you doing..."

Butler Xiao Zhou came back to his senses now, and hurried to help Hong Zhoutong.

Seeing that Hong Zhoutong couldn't bear to die, he kowtowed again in a trembling voice: "This old man is willing to guide the sea route for the country, clean up the obstacles in northern Guangdong, and clear away its thieves..."

"I just ask the little father-in-law to leave a way out for the old man and the other seven families!!"

Hearing Hong Zhoutong's words, Zhang Xiaogong couldn't laugh or cry: "Mr. Zhoutong is serious, the army is going to Qiandongnan to suppress the rebellion..."

"Young master, don't lie to me, the Jinmen Fort is probably just the first batch of forts, isn't it?!"

But Hong Zhoutong stood up slowly with the help of housekeeper Xiao Zhou, trembling.

"The three major shipyards launched two new treasure ships, and raised another four thousand sailors..."

"I'm afraid the navy of the imperial court is practicing day and night, so why not go into the sea to clear them at any time?!"

"You and these thousands of troops are all elites, and now you are opening mines first and then setting up docks, and you are gathering Foshan blacksmiths to open a foundry branch with the ability to cast cannons..."

Hong Zhoutong's voice was trembling: "I'm afraid the old man and other merchants in northern Guangdong are already minced meat on your chopping board..."

Grandpa Zhang blinked at his pair of red phoenix and peach blossoms, and sighed inwardly.

These seven families were able to stay out of the circle of gentry and merchants in northern Guangdong, and not be cleaned up by those people, not only because of their ancestor Yu Ze!

I just moved a little bit, and people have already seen the clues.

It is true that this kind of behavior is not like a temporary thing at all, combined with the dynamics of the Navy and the situation in Jinmen.

I knew what I was going to do in an instant. What is talent if this is not a talent? !

"Didn't the pier have already said that you are going to buy shares?! How can you say that you want to start?!"

Young Master Zhang looked at Hong Zhoutong with a smile, neither admitting nor denying it.

Hong Zhoutong's face turned bitter, and his sallow face twitched a few times.

Then he sighed and said: "It is because I saw that you never had the intention to kill, that this old man dared to take the risk to see you and ask for a way to survive..."

"If you had the will to kill, the old man would have already taken the Qi family to sea overnight..."

Hearing Hong Zhoutong's words, Zhang Xiaogong smiled faintly: "Dayan's number is fifty, and its use is nine out of forty."

"The number of days is more than enough, how dare I stop the road?!"

However, Young Master Zhang paused, looked at Hong Zhoutong and said softly: "Although the Hong family's seven families have bad deeds, they are not guilty of death..."

"Since you came here to beg this time, I will give you a chance..."

With that said, Young Master Zhang looked at Housekeeper Xiao Zhou: "Let's lead Mr. Zhoutong to find Xie Yutian and the others!"

Chapter 3: Taking the lead in accepting donations from Hong Zhoutong, the business gentry collapsed like an avalanche

The next day, seven families including the Hong family in Yangcheng announced that they would return all the more than [-] mu of "abandoned land" cultivated by officials and soldiers over the years.

This action directly stunned the entire circle of gentry and merchants in Yangcheng. No one thought that Hong Kun and Hong Zhoutong would have such courage!

Without even thinking about it, they returned all the Guantun Ertian that had been occupied by generations.

Zhang Xuanying, the governor of northern Guangdong, and Zhao Lifu, the procurator, took over the field booklets in front of the gate of the government office and praised Mr. Hong Zhoutong for his righteous deeds.

Then the plaque of "Loyalty and Filial Piety Heirloom through the Ages" was carried out and presented to the grateful Hong Zhoutong.

It was also at the scene that Zhang Xuanying, the chief executive, and Zhao Lifu, the inspector, announced that they would prepare to build a new port.

The preparatory matters will be in charge of Mr. Zhou Jinshan, who came from the capital and successfully built the Chaobai River Wharf Square City.

Hong Zhoutong announced at the same time that the seven companies headed by the Hong family will invest 60 taels of shares and prepare to build a new terminal.

As soon as the news came out, Tong Shang and others were almost so angry that they belched on the spot.

The black fat man Bozhang directly smashed the vases of three Song Dynasty official kilns at home, and the boy merchant lost his anger on the spot when he heard the news.

O mother wah!Hong Zhou and you bastards are too fancy, aren't they? !

You just finished talking to me yesterday, so why don't you just donate the fields today!

Isn't this putting me on the fire? !

All fortresses are most afraid of being breached from the inside. Once the first person does this, others will be coerced into it whether they want to or not.

For example, Tong Chengchun, a boy merchant, just woke up in the arms of his 16-year-old Xinna concubine and ordered people to prepare chariots and horses tremblingly.

With a howl at the top of his lungs, the housekeeper asked the housekeeper to clear out all the fields and acres of the family. It doesn't matter if you give more.

We must send this field and this money to others within today!

Tong Shang, Tong Chengchun, an old guy, is bleeding from his heart. It's all the painstaking efforts of the Tong family's ancestors... swallowed up.

Just send it out like this, I am sorry for my ancestors!

However, if they don't do this now, then soon they won't even be able to find the way to send it off.

When the old boy merchant arrived at the government office, his heart was full of shit!

Liu Bozhang, a black and fat dog critic, actually ran faster than labor and capital, and now he is flattering in front of Chief Executive Zhang Xuanying like a pug.

Taking a closer look, the old boy merchant galloped through a million mud horses in his heart!

Those bastards who agreed to stretch at my home yesterday, are all here now!

One or two can actually run faster than me. If you say that they are just getting ready, you will believe it!

This ticket must have been prepared yesterday when I went back, so I rushed here when I got the letter today.

Next door to Mahler!While the old boy merchant was cursing in his heart, his old face turned into a daisy with a smile: "My lord chief executive..."

"Oh~! Duke Cheng Chun is here?! Come, come, come... I'm waiting for you, we're missing you for the launching ceremony!"

But seeing that Zhang Xuanying also supported Tong Shang with a smile, he sighed softly: "Mr. Cheng Chun actually donated 15 mu at a time, it's a big deal!"

"As expected of my virtuous leader in northern Guangdong, I thank Duke Chengchun for his great righteousness on behalf of the empire!!"

Hearing this, Tong Shang couldn't help but smile:? ? ?

? !When did I say I would donate 15 mu? !I……

But looking at Zhang Xuanying's green eyes, and then looking at Zhao Lifu's eager expression on the side.

Tong Shang quickly showed a smile that was uglier than someone blowing up an ass with a sky-piercing monkey: "Old...old..."

"This old man is grateful for the care of the empire, and his heart is filled with emotion!"

Now Tong Shang is not only bleeding from his heart, but someone dug out his heart and threw it on the ground, then smashed it to his face with an oil hammer.

The whole body was so cool, so cool, and I almost fainted on the spot.

But the old guy is so stubborn that he doesn't dare to faint. If he faints now, no matter if it's true or not, he will have a deadly enmity with these two!

Not to mention that there are more than [-] elites of the capital brought by Jade Chihu, and there is not a clean spot in his Tong family.

If Zhao Lifu, the inspector, really started to dig deep, and the Jade Chihu led the army to support him...

The entire Tong family collapsed in an instant, and everyone who could run away had to be admitted.

These days are unbearable, and for the first time, Tong Shang deeply understands what it means: the hearts of the people are like iron, and the laws of the government are like furnaces!

That is when people really want to train you, there is no room for you to move and dodge.

"It is said that Cheng Chungong will invest 200 million silver this time?! A big deal!"

At this time, that Zhou Jinshan also stood up and said with a smile: "I can make the decision, how about giving Cheng Chungong [-]% of the shares on the pier?!"

Two... two million taels? !The old boy merchant trembled, and he almost collapsed when the soles of his feet gave way.

Fortunately, that fat black man Liu Bozhang finally came to his senses at this time, and quickly supported him so that he didn't fall to the ground.

"I'm old...I'm going to invest 200 million taels..."

Tong Shang regained his composure, his face twitched uncontrollably and his smile reappeared in the world: "It's just that it will take some time to prepare..."

"It's nothing~! It's nothing~! If the money is not in your hand, you can talk, there is cash in the capital."

"The wharf is about to start construction, and it needs to be assembled within three days!"

Housekeeper Xiao Zhou waved his hands with a smile, and said softly: "You can get some silver in exchange for the shop."

Shop... When the shop was pushed out, the child merchant suddenly felt dizzy.

Damn it!This is to dig out all the foundations of my Tong family...

"The house is also available, so you don't have to worry about money..."

The smile of the housekeeper Xiao Zhou, at this moment, to Tong Chengchun, the Tong Shang, looked like an evil ghost crawling out of the hell...

"I heard that your mansion is the most luxurious residence in northern Guangdong. The screen is carved with large pieces of sea yellow, and the red coral tree over six feet is not even in the palace..."

Hearing these words, Tong Shang couldn't help feeling cold all over his body, as if he had fallen into an ice cave...
