Tang Dynasty Mingyue Song Dynasty Pass

Chapter 167 Miss Bai's Wrist

After several waves of new products of Bai Susu were revealed, everyone was shocked by their skills. Whether it was the heads of the nine major families or the other 20 or so second-rate families, they were all far behind, and they were astonished.

Obviously, with these few new products, the Bai family was able to turn around and fight a beautiful counterattack. Not only could it destroy the siege and suppression of the Ding family and several major families, but it also successfully countered the Ding family.

Now the most troublesome and distressing thing has been replaced by Ding Yuexi, the head of the Ding family.

"Impossible, absolutely impossible. Qingbai porcelain is unheard of. It must be a fake. It is the Bai family's blindfold!" Ding Yuexi couldn't believe it was true. After grabbing a blue and white porcelain bottle, he fell directly to the ground.

"Crack!" A large blue and white porcelain vase handicraft was thrown into pieces.

This crisp sound startled the surrounding merchants and gentry, and they all looked over in dumbfounded.

Even Gao Yuan, Cao Zifeng, Peng Zeliang and others all looked over in surprise, and their faces showed displeasure when they found someone throwing porcelain there.

Bai Susu took the opportunity to raise her voice: "Patriarch Ding's move, is it because he is dissatisfied with this tribute meeting?"

She only had one sentence, but every word was heartfelt, which made Ding Yuexi's heart skip a beat on the spot, and cold sweat broke out on his back, because he had already felt that the eyes of Cao Zifeng and Wei Shan, the eunuchs of the palace eunuchs, were a bit cold.

In any era, don't underestimate the eunuchs. Even though the eunuchs in the Southern Tang Dynasty were not inflated and powerful, they were not something a businessman would dare to offend.

Since the Anshi Rebellion in the Tang Dynasty, the imperial court was suspicious of generals. Tang Suzong used Li Fuguo Dian to control the forbidden army, which was the first eunuch to control the army.During the reign of Emperor Daizong, eunuchs served as internal privy envoys, who accepted the edict and were in charge of secrets.In this way, mastering the forbidden army and secrets means that the eunuch system controls the court.

At that time, eunuchs had the right to appoint and dismiss generals, promoted cronies from the army to serve as Jiedu envoys, and extended their influence to the localities. The eunuch's monopoly not only had fierce conflicts with courtiers, forming a situation of incompatibility between the southern government and the northern divisions; it also endangered the emperor. Personal safety.In the late Tang Dynasty, Shunzong, Xianzong and Jingzong died at the hands of eunuchs; Muzong, Wenzong, Wuzong, Xuanzong, Xizong and Zhaozong were all supported by eunuchs.

In the Tang Dynasty, there were many political conflicts and purges around the issue of eunuchs, but they all ended in victory for the eunuchs. Later, at the end of the Tang Dynasty, Zhu Wen used force to kill the eunuchs in one fell swoop, which seemed to solve the hidden danger. In fact, it’s just treating the symptoms but not the root cause. After the fall of the Tang Dynasty, in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, in some southern countries, such as the Southern Han Dynasty, eunuchs still had great power.

After Li Sheng, the Liezu of the Southern Tang Dynasty established the country, he punished the abuses of the previous generation, and specially made many regulations on eunuchs, such as "middle officials are not allowed to pre-empt things." Therefore, throughout the 40-year history of the Southern Tang Dynasty, it is rare to see eunuchs interfere in politics , Clues of authority.

However, if the eunuchs sent from Jinling to be tribute envoys really wanted to get angry, they should go back and participate in the performance. Not to mention that the Ding family would not be protected, even Yin Zhengxiong, the governor, would not be able to offend him.

"Are you dissatisfied with us?" Eunuch Wei took the lead to ask.

Ding Yuexi was covered in cold sweat, and quickly bent over and cupped his hands and said, "Don't dare, Eunuch Wei, someone Ding dropped the vase by accident, and it was definitely Ding's fault that he surprised all of you adults! How about this? With Ding as the host, we will hold a banquet at Furong Tower tonight, and we will put the dust on your lords, and all the business trips from Jinling will also go to Furong Tower to have dinner tonight, and all expenses will be borne by the Ding family!"

After Gao Yuan, Cao Zifeng and others heard the words, their faces softened a little.The Patriarch Ding responded in a timely manner, and he made excuses but gave everyone a lot of face. Coupled with the relatives of the governor of Runzhou, they didn't want to delve into it.

Eunuch Wei said in a high voice, with a bit of coldness: "Since it is not intentional, then I will not ask you to blame. This time, the officials personally ordered me to supervise the selection of tribute. If anyone If you are dissatisfied, you can bring it up, if you have resentment and do things behind your back, don't bother me to go back and report to the Secretary of the Ministry of Internal Affairs."

Ding Yuexi was terrified and broke out in cold sweat, and everyone else kept a low profile.

As a merchant in any dynasty, although he has enough financial resources, he may be regarded as a fat sheep at any time and be caught and slaughtered.

Next, it was the turn of the other second-rate families to recommend their own tributes. There were medicinal materials, jade, wood carvings, pearl agate, etc., operating different businesses, and each stating the characteristics of the products of the family. Big discount.

When the tribute meeting ended, it was almost dusk, and merchants left the Guofu Posthouse in Runzhou one after another.

Before Bai Susu left, the heads of many families lowered their identities and spoke politely to the 17-year-old girl at the helm of the Bai family, expressing their family's desire to deepen cooperation with the Bai family.

At this time, Bai Susu used her business mind and skills, she didn't talk much but she covered everything, the spring breeze was warm, she didn't deliberately keep aloof, but she smiled lightly, accepted the favor of big and small families, and consolidated the alliance of interests in the business field relation.

When Bai Susu was young, Bai Fengxian instilled in her the business acumen of 'cooperation will benefit both, and division will harm both', 'there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests'.Therefore, she can accept the hypocrisy and goodwill of these patriarchs at the moment. As long as they can continue to cooperate with each other, the Bai family can make a lot of money, and the unhappiness and gaps in the past few days can be ignored first.

When Ding Yuexi walked past her, his eyes turned cold, and he snorted softly: "The future will be long, just wait and see!"

Bai Susu replied indifferently: "The gift of aconitine, the Bai family will definitely remember it!"

Ding Yuexi's complexion changed slightly, he turned around and left quickly, feeling increasingly uneasy and depressed.

The well-thought-out plan that was supposed to be seamless was planned three years ago, just waiting for today's critical attack to drive the Bai family into the abyss, beyond redemption.

But who would have thought that the new products of the Bai family would come out one after another, and even show their trump cards such as Qingbai porcelain, which would completely push back the Ding family.

It won't be long before the Ding family's celadon and white porcelain business will be affected, and they will be marginalized by the Bai family's celadon and white porcelain, and their business will shrink by at least half.

After getting into the carriage, Ding Yuexi coughed violently a few times, and was so angry that he coughed up a mouthful of blood. He leaned against the carriage and sighed helplessly.

Undoubtedly, in this tribute meeting, the Bai family was the most dazzling, shining brilliantly, overwhelming the other eight major families in Jiangzuo, making those second-rate merchant families far behind.

Bai Susu got into the carriage, Xiaotong served in the carriage, followed by the guards and servants of Baifu outside, and returned to the direction of Baifu.

"Miss, are you tired today?" Xiaotong asked with concern.

Bai Susu smiled slightly, and sighed: "I'm a bit tired physically, but I'm happy in my heart, so I don't feel anything."

Xiaotong asked curiously: "Has the Ding family finally been suppressed by us?"

Bai Susu nodded and said: "Yes, from now on, the Ding family will decline, and our Bai family will go against the trend. After three years, we are expected to become the head of the nine Jiangzuo families."

Xiaotong clapped her hands excitedly and said: "Really, that's great, the eldest lady is still very powerful, the Bai family is in your hands, and it will rise up in no time!"

Bai Susu shook her head and said, "It was my luck that I met him and helped me turn the tide!"

After hesitating for a while, Bai Susu suddenly said to the maid: "Xiaotong, I will tell Coach Li outside later to take all the servants back to the Baifu. Let's go to Su's residence, and it is enough to have Bailang escorting us."
