Rice Fields in the Red Chamber

Zhen Yingxi asked: "Brother, are you ready to go?"

Zhen Yingjia nodded, "Of course I'm going. I've already received definite information. The Grand Master Zeng of the Hall of Martial Arts has handed over the letter of appointment to the saint. The saint is already considering a successor."

The corner of Zhen Yingjia's mouth was smiling, no matter how beautiful the place is, it is still not as good as entering the capital with a sense of power.Although I really don't want to admit it, it is an indisputable fact that the Zhen family's current prominent status is due to their relationship with women.

Every time I heard this statement, not only Zhen Yingjia, but the entire Zhen family felt deeply insulted.However, the Zhen family is in the south of the Yangtze River. Although it can only cover the sky, it can't block the mouths of the people. If this is the case, it will always appear in their ears from time to time.

Especially in recent years, after the Supreme Emperor abdicated and the new emperor ascended the throne, the life of the Zhen family is getting worse day by day. If they don't think of a way, the Zhen family may really lose their lives.

However, the only solution that Zhen Yingjia can think of is to climb up and keep climbing up. Of course, it would be even better if she can become her confidant today.

In official circles, there has always been a saying that "non-Jinshi does not enter the Hanlin, and non-Hanlin does not enter the cabinet." With a person like him who was awarded an official by virtue of his kindness, before today, he did not dare to imagine that he would one day become an official. Court old.

However, today is different from the past, his meeting has come.

"I heard that Prince Zhaorui likes things made of this kind of glass the most, especially this kind of glass with high transparency. The more transparent the better. Tell me, there are several exquisite pieces in this auction. If you buy Come down and give it to Prince Zhaorui as a gift, how about it?"

Zhen Yingxi soon understood his brother's plan.

The Zhen family stood on the wrong team in this change of throne, and they have offended the saints of today thoroughly.However, on the bright side, those things have nothing to do with the Zhen family.

For this point, Zhen Yingjia is very sure, and coupled with the influence of the four kings and eight princes, Zhen Yingjia is very relieved.

To be honest, Zhen Yingjia doesn't look down on the present at all. Back then, although he was the heir and son, he was not loved by the Supreme Emperor. If he was not a filial child, the Supreme Emperor might not even remember that there was such a prince. .

It's a pity that the Zhen family doesn't have much contact with the army. Only Nan'an and Xining are the only ones who control the military power. These two families have been stationed in the border county all the year round. Every move is reported to the saint in detail. Don't move, otherwise, the person sitting in the Golden Luan Hall now doesn't know who it is.

Zhen Yingjia is still very at ease in her heart, the Supreme Emperor is still there, and Concubine Zhen is still favored by the Supreme Emperor, she is the most filial person nowadays, and has never refuted the Supreme Emperor's decision.

As long as there are these two, the emperor's liquidation?nonexistent!

It's just that Zhen Yingjia never expected that they had never really understood their current temperament!His thoughts are destined to be shattered.

"But Prince Zhaorui and our family..." Zhen Yingxi hesitated.

Speaking of which, the Zhen family and the one on the dragon chair, as well as the prince who is most valued today, all had blood-thirsty feuds.

Zhen Yingjia snorted softly, not taking these things to heart at all.

"At that time, it was Prince Zhong'an who was in charge. What does it have to do with our family? Besides, have you forgotten? Lin Huaijin, Marquis of Hain, is the nephew of the Rongguo Mansion. Our family and the Jia family are old relatives. I heard that this Marquis Lin is extremely loved by Prince Zhaorui and Lin Ruhai, and even Lin Ruhai's daughter has been given the title of county lord. This time Prince Zhaorui went south and lived in the Lin Mansion, which shows the relationship between the two. When the time comes, we will invite you Lord Lin Hou made some mediation, Prince Zhaorui thought he would slap Lin Hou Ye in the face."

Zhen Yingjia has always firmly believed that there is nothing that cannot be solved by interests, if not, then the benefits given are not enough!

As long as the benefits are sufficient, even close relatives and flesh and blood can go down.

After thinking about it carefully, Zhen Yingxi couldn't help but nodded, "It's brother after all, his insight is far beyond what we can compare."

Zhen Yingjia's expression was rather smug, and his brother's compliment really benefited him.

……

There are quite a few people in the whole of Jiangnan who have received this exquisite booklet of Wanbao Auction. After hearing the news about some of Prince Zhaorui's hobbies, many people are gearing up to win one or two exquisite items and send them to Prince Zhaorui or Princess Deyang. No matter what, there will always be a good relationship, right?

It can be regarded as showing his loyalty to today's saints.

In Suzhou Linfu, Qi Hui, who is in charge of managing Lin Mo's various businesses, is reporting to Lin Mo the preliminary preparations for the auction.

Qi Hui was originally the eldest son of Lin Mo's nanny Fang. After moving out of Lin's father's house, Lin Mo removed this nanny's slave status and allowed him to change back to his original surname—Qi, give him a name Qi Hui, who took care of his property specially.

Because of Lin Mo's move, the nanny's family was even more grateful to Lin Mo and cared more about his affairs.

Qi Hui is also up-to-date and capable, but within a few years, Lin Mo's business has become famous, and he himself has become a legendary figure in the business world in Jiangnan.

"According to the order of the Lord, the officials of the provinces in the south of the Yangtze River and the people in charge of the aristocratic families have received our brochures, and the tickets for the auction have also been sent over in the brochures. As long as you read our brochures carefully Booklet, naturally can find the existence of tickets."

Lin Mo was very satisfied with Qi Hui's ability.

"At that time, I asked you to reserve the remaining tickets, can you keep them?"

Qi Hui nodded and said, "I have kept it, the little one is about to ask for instructions, what should I do with these reserved tickets?"

Tu Qian was surprised and said, "Why are there so many tickets left?"

Lin Mo smiled lightly and signaled him to be calm and not to be impatient, "Tomorrow, let someone spread the word to the major merchants in the south of the Yangtze River, and tell them that the owner of the auction will hold a small auction first, and then auction off the rest of the Wanbao Auction It is also a warm-up for our Wanbao Auction.”

Looking at Qi Hui, Lin Mo smiled innocently, "Understood?"

Lin Mo was born with picturesque features, and with such a smile, not to mention Tu Qian, a mosquito-repellent young man who had been eyeing him for a long time, even Qi Hui, a straight man, was almost confused by this smile.

However, seeing his Master Hou laughing like this, Qi Hui shivered for no reason.

Scared!

He hurriedly nodded in response, and then went to work.

Tu Qian rested his chin, looked at Lin Mo giving orders, and looked in high spirits, and felt his heart beat a little faster.

"Auction tickets? Can those big salt merchants buy it?"

Lin Mo was not worried about this question, "Just wait and see."

Seeing his confident and calm appearance, Tu Qian couldn't help but look forward to it. There are no other salt merchants, and they have plenty of money.

"Did you bring those objects made of glass back from overseas?" If so, then this time, Huaijin paid a lot in order to make up for the military expenses of the frontier soldiers in the south of the Yangtze River. It is too much.

When he returned to the capital, it was time for him to have a good talk with Brother Huang.

Lin Mo laughed: "How is it possible? The large glass objects brought back from overseas will wear out too much, and the cost is too high, so it's not worth it."

He looked at Tu Qian with a half-smile, "Why didn't your lord say that I made these glass objects burn on the Dajin?"

Tu Qian raised his eyebrows, "You made it yourself?"

If the glass is really fired in Dajin, the price of glass is now comparable to gold, a glass workshop is really a hen that can lay golden eggs.

Prince Zhaorui's eyes lit up immediately.

"Did Ah Mo get the method of firing glass?"

Lin Mo smiled helplessly, "Aqian, have you never read Qi Hui's quarterly financial report?"

Although it was a question, Lin Mo's tone was extremely firm.If Tu Qian had read those financial reports carefully, he wouldn't have asked such thoughtless words.

Recently, news about the Wanbao Auction has been circulating among some big merchants in the south of the Yangtze River. Everyone knows that the owner of the Wanbao Auction is rich and powerful, and the things that are put up for auction are extremely rare and high-quality goods that can be handed down from generation to generation. Those people even came up with some kind of auction ticket.

That thing is like the postings that are common at the time, and only with the postings can you enter the auction and participate in the auction.However, few of these big merchants have seen the so-called tickets.

I heard that Wanbao Auction has produced a booklet called "Wanbao Auction Product Illustrated Book" for this auction, and the tickets are included in the booklet.

It is said that the people from Wanbao Trading Company only sent these pamphlets to the officials of the Jiangnan provinces and the heads of the major families, but none of them merchants have ever received them.

Many people can understand this move of Wanbao Auction House. After all, scholars, farmers, businessmen, and merchants are at the bottom of the list. No matter how much money they have, their status is still there, and no one can surpass them.

As soon as this matter happened, many big merchants dared not even leave their homes. They always felt that after they walked out of their homes, the eyes of people looking at them were always tinged with sarcasm.

So, in private, these businessmen tried every means, just to get a ticket for the auction.

According to the report from the dark guard, in Jiangnan, the tickets for Wanbao Auction have been sold to a very outrageous price on the black market, but there are still many people holding money and asking for nothing.

Therefore, when Wanbao Auction House released the auction tickets, the whole Jiangnan was shocked. At this time, people discovered that there is such an operation?

"President Shi, what do you think about those people auctioning off the tickets for the auction?" With these words, why are you so awkward!The corner of the mouth of the person who spoke twitched a few times, presumably because he was confused by the words he said.

Chairman Shi is a big-eared, fat man with a white face and silk all over his body. He is one of the vice-chairmen of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce. In a short while, the cost of food and clothing, if not hindered by the restrictions of status, I am afraid that even the emperor in the capital would not be able to compare with him.

It shows how rich the Shi family is.

Even the Xue family of the imperial merchant, who had the identity of Ziwei Sheren, was at its most glorious, it couldn't compare to it.

In the boundary of Jiangnan, stomping one's feet is enough to shake the whole Jiangnan business circle. Born in the rich and noble village of Yangliang, growing up in the misty and prosperous Jiangnan, his life has been smooth and smooth. Not only the adults in the Jiangnan officialdom, but also this President Shi has a very deep relationship, even in the capital, the Shi family is doing very well.

In Jiangnan, there has always been a leader of the chamber of commerce. Of course, it must be the absence of the president of the chamber of commerce.

It is precisely because there is an extra word "deputy" in front of the title, and it has been unable to remove the word "deputy" for many years, which has always been the deepest pain in the bottom of Shi Yuanwai's heart!He was always thinking about how to get rid of the word "deputy", and worked hard for it.

However, although he is only the second member of the chamber of commerce, there are quite a few flattering dogs around him. The thin and flattering man in front of him is his most loyal dog.
