Chapter 170: Huaibi


Chapter 170 Huaibi Wang Ge hopes that the Han family will open their Fanbao trading house to Shandong and Qingzhou, naturally not to seek any profits, nor to participate in the sea trade, but to take this line, if you need anything from overseas in the future, you can ask the Han family to help.In addition, the introduction of the Han family can also allow Wang Ge to have more room for operation.Just like Shouguang County is "sharing the cake" this time, if the Han family had come a long time ago, he would naturally have a way to let the Han family get a piece of the pie in the past, instead of just occupying those leftovers that others don't look down on, as they are now, although those leftovers were his goal at the beginning.Regarding Wang Ge's invitation, Han Tai naturally had no reason to refuse.The reason why the Han family only opened the trading house to Jiangnan was not that they were not interested in the market further north, but that further north, they did not have that connection, so they did not dare to set foot easily.During this time, Han Tai also more or less learned that although Wang Ge was only a head-catcher, he was not an ordinary head-catcher, and his words were quite effective in this Qingzhou City, and even in the entire Qingzhou Mansion.With Wang Ge opening his mouth, at least the Han family's business house should have no problem entering Qingzhou Mansion.Another thing that Wang Ge was still thinking about recently was how to exchange the gems he had obtained from the "small treasury" of Long Yitian, the leader of the "Little Seven Righteousness" thieves, for cash.The rest is okay to say, with the channels mastered by Wang Ge, it is not too difficult to lose a little bit and find a way to sell it.The biggest problem is the biggest ruby "Red Star".This gem is very rare, and there is only one in the entire Ming Dynasty, and the original estimate of Xiaohu Sun Hong's son was 30,000 taels.But these 30,000 taels does not mean that you can exchange them for gems.With the price of today's Ming Dynasty, 30,000 taels is undoubtedly an astronomical amount, and even if the average rich man has this net worth, it is unlikely that he can get this cash.Even if they could get this cash silver, most of them would not have paid such a large price for such a gemstone.After all, there are not many cases of puffers being innocent and guilty throughout the ages.Today's businessmen, who are not of high social status, are even more cautious about this kind of thing.At the beginning, after getting the "Red Bright Star" at a very low price, the old man Hui also didn't dare to make a noise, thinking about secretly hiding it as a family heirloom.But he didn't expect that Long Yitian still knew, tied up his only son, and took the "Chi Yao Xing" and several other gems treasured by Master Hui.So Sun Hong was interested in "Chi Yao Xing" at the beginning, also because he already knew where to find buyers.At that time, Sun Hong got the news that the Suwang Mansion was collecting all kinds of gemstones, and rubies were especially expensive.Some people have already sold it for 5,000 taels, and it is inferred from the quality that if the "Red Bright Star" is purchased by Su Wangfu, the price will reach more than 30,000 taels.And Su Wangfu is undoubtedly one of the few buyers who can take out this amount of silver and dare to take out this silver.However, there was an incident last year, Zhu Yuanzhang, the king of Qin, fell ill, Zhu Yuanzhang heard the news of his son's death, dropped out of the dynasty, and then promulgated the "Edict to the King of Qin", denouncing Zhu Zhang's debauchery, and listed his 28 major crimes, including favoring concubines, using the degree of arrogance, extravagance and waste, abusing the palace people, and plundering the population during the expedition to the west, etc., and finally gave the nickname "Sorrow".It can be seen that Zhu Yuanzhang was angry with the prince because of his misfortune, and since then, he has also admonished the kings, and the vassal king Yulu has changed the annual branch of rice to 50,000 stones, banknotes of 25,000 yuan, 40 horses of brocade, 300 horses of silk, 100 horses of lero, 500 horses of silk, etc., which were set by the ninth year of Hongwu.Obviously, Zhu Yuanzhang was very dissatisfied with the extravagance and waste of the vassal kings and the usurpation of the princes, so after that, the Su Wangfu no longer blatantly collected gems.After all, if you just collect a few gems, the value is almost more than a year of the vassal king, although the vassal king is more of a way to collect wealth and scrape, but this is too blatant, it is like sending the handle to Zhu Yuanzhang's hands.If it is an ordinary gem, Wang Ge may let people contact Su Wangfu in private, thinking that if he doesn't accept it on the surface, he should also accept it secretly.Since King Su is willing to spend such a large price to collect gems, he must be very obsessed with gemstones, or have his special uses.But the problem is that the "Red Bright Star" is too rare and valuable, and such a value, even if it is the Su Wangfu, it may not be necessary to think otherwise.If you don't have a strong enough background, send it to the door, and be blackened by Su Wangfu, don't be too normal.Although doing so will make the palace lose its credibility in acquiring gems, and no one will dare to sell the gems anymore, with the value of the "Red Shining Star", the palace may not be able to abandon its reputation.What's more, in the eyes of the people of Suwangfu, if you are a little more private, you may not be known.Therefore, Wang Ge finally thought about it, and decided to dedicate the gem to King Yan through Shen Pingjin, believing that with King Yan's means, there was naturally a way to exchange this gem for silver.And King Yan is now short of money, he offered this gem worth 30,000 taels, he has already recorded a lot of money in the merit book of King Yan in advance, even if he did not make an inch of merit in the battle of Jingyan in the future, the future Yongle Dynasty should also have a place for him.In a hidden windowless dark room in the backyard of the Hangji Pharmacy, Shen Ping looked at the huge ruby in his hand by candlelight, and was also amazed: "Such a big gem is really the only time I have seen it in my life, and you can get such a treasure, your luck is really ......

No, it really can't be said to be luck, you went to Shanxi twice, one to find the secret room of the King of Jin's other garden, and the other to find out the two major spies of Meng Yuan, and by the way, to inquire about the whereabouts of the left envoy of the Demon Sect, and subdued a group of subordinates to work for you in Shanxi......

Compared to the same spy of His Highness, I am a little ashamed of myself. ”"Big Bear, what you said is not quite right, everyone has their own use, just like in that valley, the old monk knew our temperament and talent, and took out three cheats for us to choose, that is, we will definitely choose the most suitable one for ourselves.With you watching me in Qingzhou City, I dare to go to Shanxi with confidence!

”"Well, anyway, I'm the only one who looks forward to you, and I'll do whatever you say.This gem, I will arrange for someone to send it to Beiping tomorrow. ”Watching Shen Ping put the "Red Bright Star" into the brocade box, Wang Ge explained: "I learned from others that King Su is collecting rubies at a high price, and with the quality of this 'Red Bright Star', it can be sold for at least 30,000 taels.You can also attach this message and send it over.However, you must find someone trustworthy to send, after all, the wealth is moving, 30,000 taels, which is really not a small amount. ”"Thirty thousand taels?!"

Shen Ping was a little confused, he only knew that this gem must be very valuable, but he never thought that it would be so valuable.
