The salted fish couple is fleeing famine

Chapter 167 Preparation II

In addition to the princes, the clan representatives also asked to go through the back door, all of which were within the scope of the emperor's acquiescence.

Speaking of which, the clan of the Great Xia Dynasty did not know that they were cousins ​​after several generations.No one helped them in the previous games of the vassal kings.Although he didn't stand on the wrong team, he couldn't talk about making any contribution to the current king of Shu.

After the king of Shu ascended the throne, he got along with the members of the clan in an ordinary way, and they couldn't say much in front of the new emperor.This time, by the back door, I had to go around the bend to reach the Empress Dowager, so I had a chance.

Uncle Zhongqin would of course agree and gave them two quotas for ships. You must know that this time the merchants, the imperial court only gave them a total of fifty quotas.

The nobles of the family, the natal families of the nobles in the palace, all who could be dispatched were dispatched. Uncle Zhongqin was not seen, and the wives of the family also came out one after another. Cuihua was almost annoyed by the female family diplomacy, and Heiwa had to make a quick decision. .

Half a month later, the Maritime Trade Conference was held in the largest restaurant in the capital, Zhongqinbo was the host, and a hundred posters were invited to attend the conference.

The candidates for these posts were all carefully selected, among which ship merchants accounted for a quarter, merchants accounted for two quarters, and noble families accounted for the remaining quarter.

It's not yet the appointed time, but everyone came to the restaurant early, looked at each other, oh, there are many acquaintances.

"Master Diao, you haven't been out of the mountain for a long time, did you startle this time?"

All eyes turned to the old man who was over [-] years old. This is a leader in the business world, and they all went out in person.

"Brother Su, the children and grandchildren in the family are not up to date. I am old and have to let my old bones out to walk around. Why are you here?"

"I was meeting friends in the capital this month, no, I wanted to join in the fun!"

"That's really a coincidence, unlike us, who came here on purpose!"

People in the circle of this big wealthy businessman have met each other on some occasions, but it was the first time that they got together so neatly.

The helmsmen gather together, you come and go, playing the game, the second generation, there is no shortage of elites, listening to all directions and seeing all directions, but dare not make mistakes in places where big shots gather.

The aristocratic families formed their own faction, and most of the people who came here were the people in charge of the general affairs of the house, with haughty eyes, they were not the same kind of people as merchants.His attitude is also the most casual, as if he just came to drink tea and meet friends, and he can chat a few words calmly when he sees the same kind.

There are a few military generals in the noble family, their voices are the loudest, and the whole restaurant is the most lively as far as they say.The focus of their discussion is still guessing where they are going this time, whether there are gold jewels everywhere overseas, they are not good at doing business, and they are worthwhile grabbing land.

"We're going to sign up for the navy now, can we catch up?"

"I asked a long time ago, but it doesn't work. This time, I still choose people from the navy of Shieldfish Island. It's a pity."

"However, if the family can go overseas this time, we can also board our own merchant ship!"

"Hey, I think so too, otherwise, who would be interested in this business, we are not interested in making money."

Before keeping everyone waiting for too long, Uncle Zhongqin came in, followed by the reading group of six, who was arrested for part-time jobs.

The teenagers each held a thick stack of things that looked like books, and after they entered, they spread out and distributed a volume to everyone.

Everyone involuntarily stopped talking, stood up, and wanted to greet Uncle Zhongqin.

Uncle Zhongqin pressed down with both hands, and said loudly:
"Everyone, please take a seat. There are quite a few old men and nobles here today, so let's stop greeting each other. For those who can come to participate in today's Maritime Trade Conference, I believe everyone has better information than me.

Let me make a long story short, please open the booklet.

The home page is about the qualification requirements of merchant ships for this sea trade. For the merchants who finally get the admission tickets, we will ask the shipyard and the navy to jointly verify the capital. Only sea ships that meet the requirements can accompany them.There are also related requirements for the number of personnel and cargo weight of each ship.

From the second page of the brochure are the commodities needed for this sea trade, mainly in five categories: silk, porcelain, tea, artwork, and food.

If the products of the merchants are outside the five major categories, please apply separately. However, there are only two quotas for these other categories of products, and priority will be given to rare and rare ones.

There is also the quantity and specific requirements of the required products on the brochure. If you bring samples to Beijing, please hand them over to the Lifan Academy after the conference.And explain the name of the company, the quantity and price that can be provided, and we will publish the list within one month after comparing the options.

The list has been publicized for half a month. If there is no objection, please go to the household department to deliver the grain used for the escort fee. The household department will specially inspect and accept the grain.

After this chamber of commerce, anyone who seeks another way will be disqualified; malicious competitors will be disqualified.

This is the first sea trade. After the opening of this road, it may be once a year, and we will come and go frequently. I hope everyone will cherish the opportunity and compete fairly! "

Hearing Uncle Zhongqin's words, some were stunned, some secretly delighted, and some disapproved.

However, this brochure is indeed written very clearly. Those who got the brochure were already thinking about whether the samples they brought could meet the standards, and they were discussing with each other in low voices.

"It seems that the tea, silk and porcelain are the big ones, Mr. Diao, hasn't your tea garden been ruined by locusts this year? What's the share of this tea?"

"Hehe, you don't have to worry about that. Last year, we made a lot of brick tea in our tea garden. This brick tea, the more it is released, the more mellow it is! Can your family receive silkworm cocoons this year? And mulberry leaves for silkworm breeding?"

"Hey, who doesn't have any stock?"

The nobles frowned. Most of them have no specific industries. Within their sphere of influence, they have a lot of shareholdings, many of which are dry stocks. But when it comes to specific commodities, they may not be competitive, and they are not allowed to go through the back door? !
"Today, I will give you an hour to answer questions. If you have any questions, you can raise your hands and ask questions!"

"Excuse me, uncle, can the [-]% of the escort fee be converted into silver?"

"No, the sailors dispatched tens of thousands of people in this sea voyage, and the food and grass consumption is not low, and the imperial court does not have much food in reserve!"

"Uncle, if my product is insufficient, can I join forces with other merchants of the same product?"

"As for the quality of the product, yes, you need to guarantee each other. If there is a problem with the product, the merchants who joined forces must also bear the responsibility!"

"Uncle, if we encounter pirates, will the navy protect us merchant ships?"

"Of course, the escort fee is not in vain. It is also the duty of the navy to defend against the enemy and protect the interests of our merchants."

"Uncle."

"Uncle."

For a whole hour, Uncle Zhongqin answered the merchants' questions in a calm manner. Overall, both sides expressed satisfaction, and the court's attitude seemed to be very friendly.

Most of the people were more sympathetic, and those who brought samples hurriedly went to Lifan Academy to register, and those who didn't brought samples hurried home to prepare.

The few who didn't believe in evil and wanted to use money to open the way were unceremoniously disqualified by Uncle Zhongqin, and they were announced on the wall at the entrance of Li Fan Yuan.

This stabbed the hornet's nest of the nobles, and there were not a few people who applied eye drops in front of Xia Hongdi. The effect of this drug was the opposite. Not only did they not get the admission ticket, but they were also scolded by the emperor.

Both Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu heard the news, and after returning home from the palace, they taught Cuihua a lesson.

"Why did you announce those nobles?" Cuihua was puzzled.

"If I don't get tougher, our concierge can't handle sugar-coated bullets anymore. I'm not used to these people!"

"Kill the chicken for the monkey to see?"

"Otherwise, before I leave, can I still have a quiet life?"

"Kill the chicken but not the bird~" There is no cage to keep Hengheng, and every day it can still eat a handful of space pine nuts, Hengheng has been fully cultivated by green flowers, no one in the house cares, just love Go around the hostess.

"You stupid bird, believe it or not, I will pluck your hair?"

"You bad old man~"

"Daughter-in-law, I want to drink starling soup at night, and bamboo fungus soup!"

"Daughter-in-law, you are as beautiful as a fairy!~"

"Hmph, that's my grandpa's daughter-in-law!"

"Lai Han marries a fairy~"

"Hahahahahaha." The younger ones were laughing so hard that their father exploded with anger.

Heng Heng has replaced Xiao Liu's position, becoming the most amusing guy in the whole house.Apart from being chased by black tigers and panthers from time to time, and almost getting into the dog's mouth several times, it is like a fish in water in the Bo mansion.

I don't know how Zhao Leiting told Mr. Mou, or Mr. Mou said that he trusted the Great Xia Navy too much. Anyway, his father-in-law and mother-in-law agreed in the end, saying that they would wait for Zhao Leiting to return from the sea before getting married.

Apart from Zhao Leiting, Qin Ke also returned home with the twin brothers today, and he asked to go with him.

Qin Ke excitedly said to Hei Wa: "Uncle, my emperor uncle agrees with me to go, you have to agree!"

It's not just him, who doesn't want to go in the accompanying reading?

"Father, we're going too. We escaped the desert in the Yellow River, and we've been to Shield Fish Island. In terms of running experience, we brothers know each other the best!"

"Little bastard, stop daydreaming, what are you going to do with your studies?" How could Hei Wa agree, his daughter-in-law doesn't even have a good face yet.

"There is a gentleman from the Imperial College who will also accompany us, so we will not delay our studies along the way!" The two brothers looked at their father eagerly, with trust in their eyes.

"Then go and convince your mothers, I dare not speak up for you!" Hei Wa was incompetent.

Yuan Wenjie and Yuan Wenwu were in a dilemma. They wanted to count on their father, but their father was too afraid of their mother. This was a tough battle to fight.

Sure enough, before they could finish their request with stammers, they were rejected by Cuihua.

"No, mother disagrees, don't mention this matter again! No matter how many times you say it, my answer is that I disagree and there is no need to discuss it!"

Not only were the two brothers scolded, but Hei Wa was kicked out of the bed as well. The father and son received the same treatment.

The top of the mountain cannot be conquered in a day, the father and son said, let's grind it slowly.

Old Yuantou recently tried a lot of cork to make the life jacket that his eldest son said, but the floating effect was not satisfactory enough. The eldest grandson placed a large number of puzzle orders, and he was so busy that he couldn't find the north.

Father Hu brought Mrs. Zhang to the Uncle's Mansion, and together with Sister Yuan who looked worried, Cuihua received them. The news of them in the village still had to be delayed, and only then did they get the news.

"Isn't this about the navy? How did it involve the son-in-law?" Father Hu was puzzled. Isn't his son-in-law still building some low-rent housing now? How could he get involved in the Shanghai trade?

"Father, in addition to the navy, the imperial court also needs to send people to go. Your son-in-law wants to go by himself!"

"Brother and sister, why don't you persuade him, my brother can listen to you!" Sister Yuan was in a hurry, it was the sea.

"I didn't persuade you. Your brother is fake and obedient. At the critical moment, he has his own ideas. Sister, why don't you persuade him?"

"Then he is even more unwilling to listen to what I say. What's the matter?"

"Girl, can I change someone here?" Mrs. Zhang was so anxious that it has only been a few years since she stopped?
"Mother, this is the emperor's order, what do you think?"

I was so worried about these people, after Heiwa got off work, they took turns grabbing him and talking for a long time before Cuihua didn't help him, he deserved it!
Hei Wa: My daughter-in-law has been a hermaphrodite for too long, how can I break it?
