Fierce “Husband” - Chapter 216
Snowflakes fell, and the entire capital turned silver. This heavy snow has lasted for three days, and many parts of Yan country have been affected. However, with Hou Zhongyong taking the lead in donating 100,000 taels for disaster relief, the Queen’s Relief Fund allocated 500,000 taels, plus donations from various places, a total of 3,720,000 taels were raised for disaster relief. The first batch of 1,500,000 taels of silver has been allocated, and Murong Shizi is responsible for the distribution of this batch of disaster relief funds. These disaster relief funds – part of which are used as cash to distribute to the affected people and part – are exchanged for disaster relief materials. Now the reputation of the whole Yan Kingdom’s loyal and brave Hou Dashan can be said to spread thousands of miles.
The ancients did not have this concept of charity, although there were many people who had the title of “good people”. Shao Yunan is different. In his “last life”, he was a person who was enthusiastic about charity and public welfare. “In this life” he has money in his hands, and he gradually integrates into the country, and he supports Wang Shijing to do charity very much. It can be said that Zhongyong Houfufu is the biggest supporter of the Queen’s “relief fund”.
However, for many people in Beijing, the snow brought more inconvenience to travel. Despite this, there is still a lot of traffic outside the Yunlong Auction House. Since the “Hundred Days of Wrath”, Das Kingdom, Xianlu Kingdom and Dashan Tribe have formally allied with Yan Kingdom and signed many trade agreements. Das country exchanged patterned iron for Yan country’s tea and goat’s milk wine, but if they knew what Yan country was going to use patterned iron for, they would never sign this agreement. The three countries have established “embassies” in the capital of Yan Kingdom. As the contact point for mutual exchanges between the two countries, the embassy word was proposed by Shao Yunan.
Today, whether it is the ambassadors of the Three Kingdoms, the wealthy families in the capital, and the merchants from the other three countries who had been in the capital early on, all gathered here, just for the second opening of the Yunlong Auction House. After eight months, Yunlong Auction House finally made a move.
In Room 1, Wang Shijing, Prince Murong, Princess Wuzhen and Dai Zhanxiao were already seated. It was too cold outside and it was snowing again, so Shao Yunan had a miscarriage at home. As one of the bosses behind the Yunlong Auction House, Wang Shijing attended on behalf of the Houfu of Zhongyong. The Queen was also unable to come for the same reason, so Emperor Yongming naturally accompanied him in the palace. King Luo Rong and Guo Zimu were in the palace, Guo Zimu was too lazy to go out in such a cold day, and their wedding was approaching, so there were a lot of things to do. Prince Murong had just finished his work for a while, and Wang Shijing invited him over to relax. After King Luo Rong got married, he would go out to Beijing for disaster relief.
Both Dai Zhanxiao and Princess Wuzhen participated in the auction for the first time and were very curious. Dai Zhanxiao just came to join in the fun, and he had nothing to buy. Shao Yunan, the highlight of this auction, had already taken it to him.
After Princess Wuzhen and Dai Zhanxiao fought against the Hu people, Princess Wuzhen not only got closer to the Zhongyong Hou Mansion and Luo Rong Mansion, but also exchanged ideas with Dai Zhanxiao from time to time. Princess Wuzhen is a hero among the daughters, and Dai Zhanxiao is a general of the Yan Kingdom, but there is no shyness between the two of them, just like brothers, Su Chenyi is a little anxious.
After the embassy of the Dashan tribe was built, Princess Wuzhen moved out of Zhongyonghou Mansion. Princess Wuzhen voluntarily stayed in the capital of Yan Kingdom as an ambassador. Although she was capable and highly skilled in martial arts, she was a daughter after all and would have to marry sooner or later. people. Princess Wuzhen has three younger brothers, the father’s body is restored to health, and the three younger brothers have enough time to grow up, so Princess Wuzhen does not need to stay in the Dashan tribe. However, Shao Yunan and Guo Zimu knew the real purpose of her staying here – not wanting to be urged to marry. She is already 17 years old. I don’t know how many people want to marry her princess. Princess Wu Zhen doesn’t have a person with D Yi, and she doesn’t want to be a tool for a man to gain power, so she simply avoids it. If she didn’t go back, her father couldn’t do anything about her, and because she asked for the “elixir” for her father, her father couldn’t bear to force her anymore, and acquiesced to her to stay here.
The hall of the auction house was full, and all the private rooms were also seated. When the time came, the door of the auction house was closed, and Jiang Kangchen appeared. The affairs of the Wu family did not involve Jiang Kangchen in the slightest. He is now a celebrity in the capital and the confidant of the Queen. The affairs of the auction house will be handed over to him in full responsibility. And Wu Jiawei – the one who survived is Wu Jian. Wu Jian is still recovering from Zhongyong Hou’s mansion. As for the result of the Wu family, Wu Jian’s reaction was very silent.
The success of Yunlong Auction House’s first auction has allowed businessmen in Shikoku to see business opportunities. There are several times more good things in this auction than in the previous one, and all the patterned irons from the country have appeared. The matter of Hu’s mission has shocked the Three Kingdoms, and the people of Dasi are now extremely safe in the territory of Yan.
Wang Shijing also has nothing to buy, his main task is to keep an eye on the market. The auction of each product that was brought out was extremely hot, but when the main event came out, the atmosphere could not be described as hot. The tea and goat milk wine “from the essence of Xianshan treasure land” actually has the effect of nourishing and beautifying! Although the effect can never be compared with fairy fruit and fairy water, and it is impossible to rejuvenate, but as long as you insist on drinking it, if you have a minor illness, you will be able to jump around in a few days; if you have a serious illness, you can get out of bed after a few months; If you have acne, your skin will get better if you persist for a while… There are more and more news like this. Now one tael of green tea has been fried for a thousand taels, and a pound of goat milk wine is also a thousand taels. arrive. Those big businessmen who originally bought it back and prepared to be a second-hand dealer and then turned around to make a pen have not sold it, but kept it for their own use. No amount of money can buy longevity.
If it wasn’t for Emperor Yongming’s power just now, or for Shao Yunan’s crazy move, Zhongyonghou’s mansion would definitely be hacked every day. Now the security level of Zhongyonghou’s mansion is second only to the imperial palace, and even surpasses that of the General’s mansion. The old general took a hundred guards from the general’s mansion, and Wang Shijing also recruited three hundred retired veterans. The Hou mansion is rich and can afford to support him. In addition to the genius Jiang Moxi, the Hou mansion has many traps and traps. There are three mythical beasts, Brother Hu and Jin Xiaojin, even if they are thieves, they will never come back.
Jiang Kangning took out the goat milk wine first, and a jar of five catties of goat milk wine started at 10,000 taels. As soon as Jiang Kangchen’s words fell, someone raised a placard. Princess Wuzhen and Dai Zhanxiao were stunned, their hearts beating violently, and the Dashan tribe was rich, but Princess Wuzhen was still frightened by the madness of the bidders. In the end, the first jar of goat milk wine sold for a high price of 78,000 taels, which was 18,000 taels more than the first auction.
There are twenty jars of goat milk wine, and the average auction price is 80,000 taels per jar. Next is Xiushui Qimen black tea. This is the first time that black tea has appeared on the market. There are no ordinary products. All of them are “special products” from the Houfu of Zhongyong. Before the auction, Jiang Kangchen made a pot of black tea and gave it to everyone present. Not to mention the efficacy of black tea, the unique taste alone has made everyone eager to try it.
“Xiushui Qimen black tea, a specialty of Zhongyong Houfu, has only one season a year. The tea can be stored for three consecutive years, and the longer it is, the more fragrant it is. The auction starts at 1 tael, 500 taels, and the price is not less than 20 taels each time.”
Princess Wuzhen gasped, thinking of the half catty of Qimen black tea that Wang Shaozhengjun gave her, her scalp felt numb. This Qimen black tea is actually sold for two! It’s not that Princess Wu Zhen has no money, but she was shocked by this algorithm.
Princess Wu Zhen, who is considered a local tyrant, was horrified, not to mention Dai Zhanxiao. Compared with his younger brother Shao Yunan, Dai Zhanxiao is definitely a beggar. He rubbed his face and looked at Wang Shijing, who had a calm expression. He finally knew why the Marquis of Zhongyong was able to get 10,000 taels of silver as soon as he made a move. This is really rich!
The Qimen black tea Shao Yunan got from the auction house was picked and treated with spiritual spring water in the space. All the black tea he planted in the space is reserved for his family and friends to taste. Shao Yunan no longer sells the things produced in the space. The effect of these things is too good, so he still needs to keep a low profile.
Qimen black tea – a total of eight catties, a total of 970,000 taels of sky-high auction price. Then, Jiang Kangchen took out the most exquisite black tea, Dahongpao.
“Da Hong Pao, the emperor of black tea, is more effective than Qimen black tea, and its taste is even more unique. Because the output is extremely rare, I will not give you a taste. One or two red robes start at 1,000 taels, and each time the price increase shall not be less than one thousand taels. One hundred taels.” Jiang Kangchen paused for a moment, his tone rose, “Before starting the auction, I have to remind you all. Dahongpao black tea is only two kilograms in this auction, and the number of Dahongpao tea trees in the entire Dayan Kingdom is also high. It is extremely rare, and only a small amount has been found on the hills near Zhongyong Village. Now, auction, start!”
Dai Zhanxiao wiped his forehead: “Marquis Zhongyong, the Dahongpao that Yunan gave me, I’ll take it back for you.”
Murong Shizi swallowed: “Yeah, I’ll take mine back to you too.”
Princess Wuzhen just spoke, and Wang Shijing said, “You guys take them back to me, and I can’t sell them either. Those are really good things, and they can’t be sold. They are watered with essence water that has been raised for three years.” from space.
Gudonggudong, swallowing three times. Dai Zhanxiao and Murong Shizi looked at Princess Wuzhen at the same time, and Princess Wuzhen immediately made an oath: “I swear in the name of my father, and I will never say it!”
Dai Zhanxiao and Murong Shizi nodded in satisfaction.
Two kilograms of Dahongpao were sold for 800,000 taels of silver. Princess Wuzhen was a little dizzy, even though she didn’t pay for the money.
“Crazy, this is crazy.” Murong Shizi didn’t know how to describe it.
Dai Zhanxiao kept rubbing his arms and face, if it wasn’t for Shao Yun’an being his younger brother, even if he were a hussar general, he wouldn’t be able to afford it! What he drank was more than just tea, it was shining real gold and silver!
The people who participated in the auction all blushed and had thick necks, as if the money was not money at all, but stones that were picked up on the road! Wang Shijing was very satisfied with this auction, while Dai Zhanxiao was struggling. Should he bring the Dahongpao, Qimen black tea, and goat milk wine given by his brother back to Huxingguan? I don’t know how many people are waiting to rob him.
Wang Shijing was extremely satisfied, and the queen who was waiting for news in the palace was only more satisfied. Emperor Yongming is happy, and with so much money, he can already foresee the abundance of the treasury in the future. The Queen has decided that Yunlong Group will hand over a proportion of the tax and silver to the imperial court every year. Next year, red wine and green tea will be fully promoted as the special products of Dayang. With these two items alone, I don’t know how much tax revenue can be created for Dayan’s treasury every year. Emperor Yongming also accepted Shao Yunan’s proposal to establish a tea factory and brewery affiliated to the imperial court in Yongxiu County, and the proceeds were directly incorporated into the state treasury.
A series of business initiatives have been carried out one after another. Standing by the window of Jingyou Palace, Emperor Yongming’s heart is full of pride.
“The snow is a good year. Although the snow this year is a bit heavier, I can already see the prosperity of the coming year.”
The Queen looked at Emperor Yongming next to him, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
In the Marquis of Zhongyong Mansion, King Luo Rong, who accompanied Guo Zimu, looked seriously at Old Cen and Old Weng who were fighting on the chessboard. In the tea bowl in his hand was a steaming red robe. Old husband Cen is now living in the Zhongyonghou Mansion, and it has been snowing heavily these days, and Old Man Weng also lives here. The two old people have endless things to discuss every day, and they still have a lot of books that Shao Yunan brought out.
Guo Zimu and Shao Yunan were not here, they were talking about things in Shao Yunan’s room. Originally, he had been busy with Guo Zimu in the mansion and was busy with the wedding when he received news from the Marquis of Zhongyong mansion, so he came over with King Luo Rong. In the room, Guo Zimu looked at the clothes on the bed and forgot to respond. Shao Yunan looked at him with a smile and asked, “Do you like it?”
Guo Zimu was dumbfounded and nodded subconsciously: “It’s so… beautiful.”
“Nizi and I designed this together. We started making it after you and Uncle Murong’s wedding date was set, and I’m worried that I won’t be able to keep up. I requisitioned all the embroiderers in the palace, plus my family’s weaving. There are a total of 121 embroidered women in the embroidery workshop under the workshop.”
Shao Yunan raised his hand and put it on Guo Zimu’s shoulder, Guo Zimu couldn’t move his eyes.
“Brother Guo, not only do you want to marry beautifully, but you also want everyone to know that you are Uncle Murong’s wife. Let them be envious and jealous of Uncle Murong to the death.”
Guo Zimu slowly turned his head, breathing unsteadily.
Shao Yunan’s big belly pressed against him gently: “Dare you show your face that day?”
Guo Zimu suddenly stopped breathing, and then he nodded vigorously and said, “Dare!”
“Come and try, if there is something inappropriate, it should be changed quickly.”
Guo Zimu wiped his eyes and began to try it on.
King Luo Rong still didn’t know what kind of shock Shao Yunan was going to give him. When someone came to inform him that it was his turn to try on clothes, King Luo Rong put down the tea bowl and followed. King Luo Rong’s wedding dress was quite satisfactory, and Shao Yunan did not show him Guo Zimu’s wedding dress. Luo Rongwang was very curious, but was put off by Shao Yunan saying “there are still many places to be revised”.
Shao Yunan only wanted Guo Zimu to be beautiful and beautiful, how could he marry in a ghostly way, but he didn’t expect to attract strong dissatisfaction and protest from one person, which caused Yunlong’s service to become the most extravagant in the upper class of the capital. brand, there is no one!
