Chapter 97: 1 night changes to the sky
Nagasaki Tanbakan Suzukitei, a fierce battle without gunpowder smoke is underway.
"The conscience of the Mingren is very bad!" The three Japanese exchanged glances.
"Women are treacherous enough!" This is the idea of Mingren present.
Tambakan is a beautiful Japanese-style building. The houses are built in gardens, with ponds, springs and hills, and the birds and flowers are scented. The Shuyue Pavilion faces the water on three sides, with plenty of light, and the beautiful scenery, which is full of superior style.
Today, a bidding meeting was held here, and the Tokugawa shogunate purchased silk trafficked by Ming people for public bidding.
The Japanese people like the silk and fabrics made by Ming people very much. There are tens of millions of silks from China, including pure color or embroidered velvet, pure color amber weave, satin, tulle and all kinds of fabrics. They are sold out every year, Dr. Gongqing They are proud to wear silk for many years, while ordinary Japanese wear Chinese fabrics.
Therefore, the Tokugawa shogunate purchases a huge amount of silk every year, and they have a good "character", and they do not owe credit. Once the goods arrive, they will pay the silver immediately, deliver the goods in one hand, and pay the silver in one hand. It is very happy. People, seas and businessmen flock to each other.
In previous years, purchases were decided by the nobles in the shogunate, that is, high-ranking officials saw samples and price lists to make purchases.
There are steadfast patriots everywhere. Through their "cooperative efforts" with Mingren and Marine Merchants, the quality of the silk purchased is good, but the price is 50% higher than that of the same quality outside, or even more.
The highest level of the shogunate didn’t think about it correctly. If this continues, Yinshan will be emptied, so I changed the practice, that is, first choose the sea merchants to be shortlisted, mainly focusing on the quality, and then focus on the bright people and the sea merchants, open bidding, and the people with low prices win the bid!
Such annoyed Mingren Haishang, helpless, after all, silver belongs to Japanese
Everyone has to kill each other, otherwise they will show their magical powers, how great!
The bidding will be carried out by the three "pursuers" (that is, officials who handle errands) of the shogunate. All of them are proficient in Chinese. First, they invited the invited marine merchants to taste tea (in fact, it is also the tea that the marine merchants pay tribute). Rules: The highest price is 550 taels, the lowest price will get!
Participating marine merchants included the Prince Wang from Quanzhou. He is the youngest son of Quanzhou shipping boss Wang Zhidong. He is a rich second-generation man. He is luxuriously dressed. He has a pile of jade jade rings on his fingers, and a white jade pendant with mutton fat on his waist. He looks like a face. Applying powder, red lips and white teeth, looks good, extremely arrogant, and eyes high.
This guy had just arrived and was extremely arrogant. When he came in, he dashed and didn't pay attention to anyone.
There is a shipowner Yang Tiansheng who was born in Jinjiang and was also from Quanzhou.
There are also Lianchengxiu and Zuo Bogui from Yuegang. One is from Fuzhou, the other is from Zhangzhou, and Han Wenbai from Cantonese. These five people are all Ming people who came to Nagasaki and have great strength. A big player who can be on the table.
"Five hundred twenty one taels (a load)!"
"Five hundred and twenty taels!"
……
At first, Mingren’s price was still very high, and it was slowly declining. After all, no one wanted to let Japanese people buy my Da Mingming’s high-quality silk at a low price!
This is what the Japanese thought: "The conscience of the Ming man is very bad!"
In the end, interests prevailed, and various maritime merchants continued to cut prices, and the gunpowder was full of gas.
achieved the goal of the Japanese, this is what Mingren thought: "The Japanese are treacherous!"
After winning the bid, in addition to the guarantee of silver, you can also "even the shogunate bought our silk" as a live advertisement, sell more silk, and make a lot of money!
"Four hundred thirty seven taels!"
"Four hundred thirty six taels!"
The bidding reached this point. Lian Chengxiu, Zuo Bogui and Han Wenbai withdrew one after another, leaving Wang Gongzi and Yang Tiansheng to bid.
Although he was a fellow, he didn't give in at all. The stabbing was even more whistling. The Prince Wang made a quick bid. As long as Yang Tiansheng bid, he immediately reduced it by one or two.
In contrast, Yang Tiansheng was cautious and thoughtful, and was teased by the prince: "Uncle, can you do it? If it doesn't work, I'll help you!"
In fact, Yang Tiansheng is not old, but the prince is younger, and he speaks unscrupulously, saying that people are old and not counting, but also asking people if they can do something that hurts the self-esteem of men.
Yang Tiansheng said in a leisurely manner: "Prince Prince, how do you tell your father when you pay such a low price? In the past, his selling price was never less than four hundred fifty taels of silver. If you lose so much, your father will beat you up. Yours!"
The prince said nonchalantly: "My father asked me to come to Nagasaki this time, just to let me see the world. There is nothing to do with less money. As long as you get the business back, it will be done. Old man, if you can’t sell your goods, I’m afraid Your concubine has no money to buy cream powder and wants to blame you! If you see me..."
Ah ah, this young man had fancyed Yang Tiansheng’s little concubine before, and he wanted to ask Lao Yang to have his love (not for nothing, I would like to have a pearl), but what kind of green onion he is, Lao Yang treats him as a young man. The madman ignored him, and as a result, this young man took advantage of Lao Yang!
He is so hearty, everyone can only secretly sigh that he is not the rich second generation!
Yang Tiansheng really wanted to stabb the boy with a knife, but his father, Wang Zhidong, the boss of Quanzhou Shipping, was an old marine merchant with high respect. . . Hehe, the key is that his wealth is inferior to the country. If the silver cellar at home is opened, and the hidden silver will flow out like water, Yang Tiansheng can't compare to him.
I had to give up!
When the shogunate asked him, he shook his head, so the prince won the bid with four hundred and thirty-six two hundred and one hundred, and he will sell one thousand two hundred and fifty ten of raw silk.
is worth five hundred fifty thousand taels of silver, and the cost is only eighty eight thousand taels of silver. You can imagine what a huge profit.
……
That night, Yang Tiansheng, who returned to the premises, felt a little headache and fell asleep early.
He brought a full 1,300 dans of raw silk this time~www.wuxiaspot.com~ If he wins the bid, he will complete the task in one go, and now he has to find another buyer.
But he has a strong mentality. Today's things are done, and I will talk about it tomorrow.
However, in the morning, just after getting up, the family came to report: "Mr. Lian (Chengxiu) is here!"
Although they competed with Lian Chengxiu in business, they had a good personal relationship. Yang Tiansheng was a little surprised that he visited early in the morning and hurriedly said, "Please wait a while!"
When Yang Tiansheng came out, he saw Lian Chengxiu sitting in the sitting room while the other person was standing. When he saw him, Yang Tiansheng's face sank involuntarily.
Prince!
孰The following things made Yang Tiansheng unexpected!
pointed at Yang Tiansheng, the invincible prince knelt down to him!
Unless he recognizes people accurately, Yang Tiansheng almost suspects that the prince is pretending to be an actor.
Will Prince Prince kneel down to others? Look at his virtue, whether he kneeled to his ancestors during the New Year is a bit suspicious.
The prince slapped himself in the mouth and said: "Uncle Yang, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have a bad mouth. Your lord has a lot. Don't care about me as a villain. Just let me out as a fart!
He bowed left and right, his cheeks were red like big red apples.
Then the Congren who followed, gave ten boxes of gifts, and opened them to see that they were all Huang Chengdeng's gold!
The gift list says Jin Xiaowan ten thousand taels! One thousand tael per box!
Ru Zhanger Jingang couldn't figure it out, Yang Tiansheng asked in surprise: "Prince Prince, you are..."
Lian Chengxiu smiled next to him and said, "Congratulations, brother Yang, your son-in-law Yan Changwu defeated Fujian Navy in Taiwan, defeated Fujian governor Zhu Yifeng and coastal defense chief Yu Zigao, and wiped out a full 25,000 Ming army, destroying Two hundred and fifty warships of the Ming army were taken, and the loss of its own was insignificant!"
