Lu Xiangsheng saw that everyone was coming, he smiled faintly and said, "Everyone, seeing that His Majesty's birthday is coming, in previous years, His Majesty was concerned about state affairs, so he did not have a birthday, but now that the four seas are peaceful, His Majesty has decided to celebrate his birthday."
My Xuanfu is deeply favored by the emperor, this birthday gift can not be worse than other places, this official heard that Zheng Zhilong of Fujian lost five million taels of silver, and five hundred thousand taels of gold to congratulate His Majesty on his birthday.The salt merchants of Jiangsu and Zhejiang are even more of the best Hetian beautiful jade, made into a screen of thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, ready to present to His Majesty the Emperor as a birthday gift.It is said that Yunnan Muwangfu specially purchased a large piece of superb lapis lazuli from the Western Regions, which is extremely rare, and the birthday gifts sent by other places are not listed one by one, I don't know what my Xuanfu should send?
”The Xuanfu officials and gentry and merchants all looked at each other, although they also respected His Majesty the Emperor, but they were a little reluctant to break the bank.However, everyone knows that if it weren't for His Majesty the Emperor, the Xuanfu would not be where it is today, and they would not be where they are today.It is necessary to break the fee, and it has to be greatly broken, and it cannot be worse than other places, otherwise it is too much to say.Qian Fatzi had been waiting for Lu Xiangsheng's words for a long time, he stood up hurriedly and looked around proudly.Qian Fat Man slowly spoke, "His Majesty the Emperor has a big birthday, and the subjects of the world should do their best to worship His Majesty, and I, Qian Baoyuan, am willing to cast a set of bells in gold and silver respectively and dedicate them to Your Majesty." ”As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked!
This fat man is so rich and rich, he actually sent gold and silver chimes to His Majesty the Emperor?
Do you know how heavy the chimes are?
How much gold and silver do you get for such a set?
I didn't expect this guy to make so much money in just a short period of time?
People are more angry than people!
Lu Xiangsheng nodded approvingly, the fat man can be said to have set a very good example, this gold and silver bell is sent up, His Majesty will definitely like it."
But?"
Qian Fatzi said with a sad face, "Governor Lu, the grass people have visited the gold and silver shops in Xuanfu, but none of them have been able to make chimes, this thing is too complicated.The raised dots on the surface of the chimes are said to be syllables, and most of the foundries do not understand music.And there's not such a big mold!
”Lu Xiangsheng smiled, "Your Majesty doesn't like bells and whistles, you just need to cast gold and silver into the shape of a bell, Your Majesty will definitely like it." ”Lu Xiangsheng knows Chongzhen too well, is this guy a person who likes music?
He loves nothing but gold and silver.As long as it is something made of gold or silver, he likes it, and even if you give him a gold lump, he likes it.Those salt merchants in Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the people in Muwangfu, are really stupid, they spent so much energy to prepare gifts, and they are really not as good as the gold and silver chimes of the fat man!
After all, it takes a process to exchange priceless jewelry for money, and gold and silver chimes can be used when they are smashed.Lu Xiangsheng was in a good mood, the fat man took the lead in offering such a good gift, and the rest of the rich gentry and wealthy businessmen would definitely not be stingy, and the birthday gift he offered by the Xuanfu at that time would definitely win the first prize.Huang Liangchen thought hard for a long time, and finally said, "I think it's really inappropriate to take the bell as a birthday gift, how can there be a bell for His Majesty the Emperor since ancient times?"
”Isn't that the same thing?
You're tired of being a fat man, aren't you?
Actually thinking of sending a bell to His Majesty the Emperor?
I'm afraid he'll give you a final first.Qian Fat Man was shocked, fortunately this Huang Liangchen reminded him, if this chime was sent up, wouldn't he be finished?
The fat man was about to break out in a cold sweat, Lu Xiangsheng comforted, "Boss Qian, don't worry, the gold and silver chimes can't be delivered, you can still offer gold and silver melons, it doesn't matter if it's a pumpkin or a winter melon, you can offer a few cars." ”Although Qian Fat Man was a little unwilling, he still said yes again and again.The fat man made a good example, and the rest of the people were embarrassed to give it too badly, and took out the treasures at the bottom of the box.And here Lu Xiangsheng is raising birthday gifts, and over there the caravan of Huang Liangxiang's family in Zhangjiakou has set off again, carrying dozens of people and horses, carrying a large number of tea bricks, raw silk, porcelain, sugar and other goods into the grassland.I have to say that this Huang Liangxiang is really unkind, Huang Jian died, he didn't even ask, and directly occupied Huang Jian's mother-in-law.As soon as Huang Ren and the guys came back, they were sent out by him to go out to do business, and now it's almost the New Year, and a black-hearted person like Huang Liangxiang did this kind of thing.The mighty caravan braved the cold to walk on the vast grassland, the grassland is boundless, making people infinitely open-minded.Huang Ren glanced at the mule cart in the middle, he revealed a little mysterious, the things in this cart were enough for the two brothers of the Huang family to rob the house and kill them, and even with them could pull the fat man off the horse.According to Jiang Xingkui's plan, the officers and soldiers were first lured to them by Yellowbeard, and then the contraband in the car was inadvertently exposed, so that the officers and soldiers could catch them.Then Huang Ren and the others slandered in unison, and the Huang brothers secretly colluded with the Jurchen tribes to sell prohibited items.Hehe, if the Huang family's dog profiteers don't die, he, Huang Ren, will kick his own head as a bow.The caravan trekked the grassland for half a day, and everywhere was white, if it weren't for the compass in his hand, he was afraid that he would have lost his way long ago.When Huang Ren looked at it, he saw a group of people in black cloaks, riding horses and stepping on the snow, because the horses were not good at running in the snow, so these people did not run fast.Huang Ren knew that these people were Yellowbeard's people, and they were estimated to be officers and soldiers behind them, and Yellowbeard would deliberately take them hostage and threaten the officers and soldiers.Then the officers and soldiers will inevitably have a fight with Yellowbeard, and then the contraband is exposed, Yellowbeard escapes, and they frame the Huang family profiteers according to the plan.Huang Ren ordered the caravan to stop and waited patiently.Moments later, Yellowbeard galloped over with the centaurs, and they confronted the caravan in silence.Huang Ren felt that the atmosphere was a little weird, he stepped forward, saluted to Yellowbeard, and greeted, "Huang Yingying, don't come unharmed?"
”Yellowbeard smiled, his eyes were as cold as snow, "Huang Ren, I want to borrow something from you, and I will return it when I am finished." ”Huang Ren asked strangely, "What does Huang Yingying want to borrow?"
Take it!
”Yellowbeard's cold voice came, "Your head." ”Before the words fell, the gang of horse thieves rushed up, and saw people killing, seeing horses cutting horses, and the means were extremely powerful, and the blood stained the snow red.Huang Ren was stunned, Jiang Xingkui's plan was not like this?
Why do these people say kill when they say they kill?
Huang Ren didn't have time to think, he took off the old sheepskin jacket on his body, only wore a sweater and pants, and ran desperately, forgetting that there were horses to ride next to him.Yellowbeard had killed all his men and the mules and horses, and he took the reins in one hand and rushed out.
