Bi Ziyan walked around the streets like an ordinary person, looking at the customs here.
A group of people accompanied him, including officials from the six ministries of the cabinet and officials from the governor of Jiangsu, all of whom were cautious and restrained at the moment.
Shenlong Mansion is a very special place, he is the land of the Ming Dynasty, but it does not belong to the management of the Ming Dynasty, this is the place directly under the emperor's jurisdiction, the person who manages it is Bumu Butai, the unknown person is called Mrs.
Chen, and the person who knows some is called Chen Niangniang.
What is done here is very different from the ancestral system of the Ming Dynasty, there is no government, no army, and there are no complicated official positions of the Ming Dynasty.
It's more like a Jianghu organization, with the seven directors as the management, managing the huge Shenlong Mansion.
The location of Shenlong Mansion is probably the Shanghai of the later generations, in the circle of the Huangpu River, the hell is huge, and the geographical location is very good.
Bi Ziyan has passed, there are many architectural styles that are not Ming, at first glance it is extraterritorial, some he knows, most of the wooden ones are from the Japanese country, some are splendid, everywhere the rich should be Siam, some large Baotou, covering a wide area should be built by the Mongols.
There are also some churches, rather 'small' houses, most of which belong to people from the West.
As they were walking, a group of tall disciples passed past Bi Ziyan and the others, and said sideways, "How many Yiren are here?"
” An official from the yamen of the governor of Jiangsu stepped forward and said in a low voice: "If you want to enter my Ming Dynasty, you must have the permission of the Foreign Affairs Bureau, the identity document issued, and this document also has a time limit, according to the understanding of the lower officials, there are about 30,000 outsiders in the Shenlong Mansion, and the entire Ming Dynasty may exceed 50,000." ” Bi Ziyan's brows moved, and without saying more, he continued to walk forward.
In a small teahouse not far away, a young man in his twenties-five, with a big Malaysian sword, sat on a chair, next to a blonde and blue-eyed European, on the other side was a short Japanese man, and opposite was a thickly dressed Mongol.
The young man stretched out his right arm, his face was full of pride, and said loudly: "This is the silk of Dechun Fang, the cloud weaving method used, it took half a month, this piece of clothing is worth twenty taels, do you see my scarf?"
The craftsmanship of the Shanyou pottery family, sold for six taels of silver in Nanzhili, this boot, the unique skill of the Zhou family in Jiangxi......"
This young man showed off, he was up and down, and there were no less than fifty taels of silver!
The three people at the table immediately showed envious expressions, and the European said in broken Chinese: "Li Gongzi is worthy of everyone in Liangcheng, I heard that your Li family occupies half of Liangcheng, known as Li Bancheng......"
The Japanese people looked at the clothes and decorations on his body, his face was full of envy, he couldn't wait, and said in an expectant tone, "Li Gongzi, can you give us some of these, we are willing to buy them at a high price." ” The Mongolian man's eyes widened even more, and he looked at this Li Gongzi and said, "Li Gongzi, I am also willing to buy it at a high price, and I ask Li Gongzi to bring more ......."
Li Gongzi's small eyes narrowed, and he pulled a small box from behind him, and said, "Do you see this box?"
The best red sandalwood, do you see the jade inside?
This was a tribute in the previous dynasty, and now the emperor has canceled it because of the disturbance of the people, and then look at this piece of silk cloth, showing off both sides, this is the top embroidery ......"
The Europeans, the Mongols, and the Japanese looked at the small box on the table, they had dealt with the Ming Dynasty for a long time, and they could see at a glance that these three things were simply ordinary and worthless.
But the three of them were clear-minded, and the Europeans immediately said: "Li Gongzi is right, I want this set, twenty taels, one hundred!"
” "I want one hundred and fifty!"
The Mongols shouted without hesitation.
"For such a good thing, I want three hundred!"
The Japanese people are short, but they are rich and rich, and they have a sincere face.
In fact, this thing is not even worth five cents.
Li Gongzi's eyes were all smiles, and he said: "It's not a day or two that we've been doing business, today is to drink, come, drink, drink......"
Europeans, Mongols, and Japanese people also echoed each other, with smiles on their faces.
"Teahouse drink!"
A young man not far away listened to the resentment and cursed in a low voice.
This person happened to walk into this teahouse, and a group of more than ten people sat down at five separate tables.
Li Gongzi looked at Bi Ziyan and his party, his eyes lit up suddenly, he examined it, turned his head and said a few words to the three Yiren, and the three of them left happily and dispersed.
Li Gongzi took a sip of tea, listened to Bi Ziyan's whispered conversation at the table, his eyes narrowed slightly, he suddenly got up, walked over with a smile, raised his hand at Bi Ziyan, and said: "I saw the old gentleman in my later life, but I don't know that the old gentleman is from the capital?"
” The people around Bi Ziyan were just about to scold, but Bi Ziyan raised his hand quietly, looked at this Li Gongzi and said lightly: "Yes, come and do business." ” Li Gongzi had a big smile on his face, sat beside Bi Ziyan, squeezed out the original cabinet leader, and said angrily at Bi Ziyan: "Old man, I won't tell you, it's not the first time that you've done this, and even said that you're already late, since the second year of Jingzheng, I don't know how many officials came from the capital, and now they have long been tied to thousands of dollars and have millions of ......."
What kind of person is Bi Ziyan, he saw Li Gongzi's thoughts clearly, and still said lightly as usual, "I have heard a lot of such things in the capital, and I can't withstand the persuasion of a few old friends, so I went south, really, I can accumulate millions of family assets in just two or three years?"
” Li Gongzi approached Bi Ziyan, his face was full of mystery and excitement, and said, "Don't believe it, just say that Wei Langzhong, who is a member of the Apocalypse, came the year before last, did you see the courtyard in front of him, it is theirs, covering an area of hundreds of acres, there are more than ten single restaurants in Shenlong Mansion, dozens of large and small ships, the weaving mill employs hundreds of people, and every time he goes to sea, it is a profit of tens of thousands of silver, and it is really a daily gold ......."
An inexplicable expression appeared on Bi Ziyan's thin face, and he picked up the teacup in his hand.
Li Gongzi looked at Bi Ziyan's expression, and clearly saw the color of 'interest', and immediately said: "Old man, at first glance, he is a big official in the capital, are you interested in doing business together?"
You don't want to do anything, just help say hello, prepare a thousand taels of silver, and don't say anything else, I will guarantee you to earn 100,000 taels a year!
” Bi Ziyan knew a lot about the collusion between officials and businessmen, but he was very shocked in his heart. 100,000 silver a year, what a huge amount of money!
He is a 'first assistant', a month is one hundred and eighty taels of silver, plus two hundred and fifty taels of incorruptible money, and he can't earn it for thirty years without eating or drinking!
For businessmen, Bi Ziyan is extremely disliked, buying high and selling low, not producing, treacherous and slippery, ruthless and unrighteous, and now he is colluding with the eunuchs......
Misleading the country and the people!
For a moment, Bi Ziyan didn't know how many such words had turned in his mind, and his eyes became indifferent.

An official beside Bi Ziyan hinted to the guards not far away, and the two guards stepped forward and dragged Li Gongzi out directly.
Li Gongzi was stunned for a moment, and suddenly shouted: "Does the old gentleman think?
If you think it's less, I can give you more, as long as you show your ability, not to mention 100,000, 500,000 can also be earned, our family's boat goes out to sea, goes outside the border, every time it is hundreds of thousands of profits......"
Before he could finish speaking, he was thrown out by the guards.
Bi Ziyan's counterpart to the governor of Jiangsu, the head of the yamen, observed the words and immediately said: "My lord, don't listen to the words of such a scoundrel prodigal, it's nothing more than blowing the atmosphere, and you want to cheat the adult's money, don't take it to heart......" 1
