Villager of Daming

Chapter 476 The Rizheng Gives a Banquet by the Luoshui River ([-]rd update)
Yu Yongzhong was a little frightened, he was able to be the magistrate of Henan Prefecture, of course it was not for nothing, at least His Majesty recognized it.

He knew the existence of Xiaqiu Village, and even knew that a group of boys and girls were the hands of His Highness the Crown Prince.

It is said that there is an expert in Xiaqiu Village who taught Xiaqiu Village and provided a lot of help to the court and palace.

The head of the village, Zhu Yichang, is not that tall man, and now he hears that the head of the village who is not a tall man can say such things, how did he learn it?
"It seems that the rich still don't believe in Bengong, anyway, the day after tomorrow, we will give a banquet by the river, let them see how powerful Bengong's village is."

Zhu Biao is very sorry, can he deceive others?I am a prince

He wants to let people see and see, and at the same time he directly refers to Xiaqiu Village as his own village.

Yes, that's right, it's yours, and no one can grab it.

"Listen to Your Highness's orders, Your Highness, I will take my leave."

Yu Yongzhong saw that the prince still wanted a banquet, so he had to go back and arrange it.

"Here, eat, um! Hey hey hey!" Zhu Wentian quickly made a set of pancakes and fruits, wrapped them in raw-edged paper, and handed them to Yu Yongzhong who was about to leave.

"Thank you Hanhan!" Yu Yongzhong took it in his hand, moved his hands away from each other, and wrapped them in raw edge paper that was also hot.

……

Two days later, beside Luoshui, a group of wealthy households and officials who had to come arrived early in the morning.

Generally, the banquet is given at night, and everyone chats while eating, and some people sing and dance.

Today is chosen at noon, so you must come early with an empty stomach, whether you like it or not, the banquet given by His Royal Highness will definitely be delicious.

When the people arrived, they saw that the place by the river where the waterwheel had stood was surrounded by curtains.

There is a weaver girl outside, who gins cotton seeds with a foot-operated cotton press.

At the same time, someone was holding a cotton bow to shoot cotton, and there were also three foot-operated spinning wheels and a foot-operated loom.

These people cooperated to weave the cotton into cloth, and the speed was not fast. The Weaver Girls were not in a hurry and worked slowly.

Those who come here know what it is, and they also know that if new cotton is used to make quilts, there is no need to flick the cotton, just waft the cotton piece by piece.

In four more days, it will be the solar term of cold dew. If it is not hot today, there is no need to build a shed. The small table and small chairs are set up.

There was tea, dried fruits, and fruits on the table, but everyone was not in the mood to eat them at the moment, and they all looked sad.

"Old Yang! How is your family doing recently? Your family has a lot of land, but you don't have enough livestock. How many are you borrowing?" Someone stopped a person to chat.

"Brother Jin, you are fine. Our family borrowed six horses from His Highness the Crown Prince. We originally wanted to borrow cattle, but they refused." The old Yang shook his head as he talked about the situation.

"My family doesn't want to borrow cows. Cows are easy to feed, but horses are difficult to maintain. Only ordinary people can borrow cows. We need to use fine feed, and that's what we should do."

The man surnamed Jin was full of smiles. He knew the inside story. Once the horses were working, they had to be fed well, and the cows could just eat whatever they wanted.

It is really good not to rent, and ordinary people have to get grain or soybean meal to feed them.

Therefore, try to lend horses to wealthy households to plow and bury the fields, so that they will not always be soaked in water and will not hurt the horseshoes.

Someone from the side came up to him: "His Royal Highness is willing to borrow it, which is already good! My livestock are not tired, and they can be planted early."

"The pond dug by the key family was filled with salt water for seed selection. The people in Xiaqiu Village gave advice. I heard that the salt water seed selection came from Xiaqiu Village."

Another person came to the side and had no objection to the prince and King Qin.

"Treasurer Tao, you don't have much land! Do you still care about this?" the person surnamed Jin asked with a smile.

"But I bought a new grain store. I sell seeds. The seeds I sell to the people are better than those they keep for themselves. I also use salt water to select the seeds, which are more expensive than grain."

Shopkeeper Tao spread his hands, look, I am in business and need this skill.

"Treasurer Tao is familiar with Xiaqiu Village? That's right, you have been to Yingtian Mansion, and wherever there is money to be made, you will go there."

Lao Yang wanted to inquire about the situation. Shopkeeper Tao was richer than them, but he was usually kind and no one saw him turn his face.

Shopkeeper Tao still had that harmless smile: "His Royal Highness's village, what is our business? Earning hard money requires calculations.

Xiaqiu Village occupies a street at Xuanjin Bridge outside the Xihua Gate of the Imperial City of Nanjing, all the way to the Kaiping Palace, that is, the Changfu, the natal home of the Crown Princess.

If the place opposite is not Wangchun Pavilion, it is also a business of Chang Mansion, and Xiaqiu Village can still be occupied.

oh!There is another place not occupied, Fuhua Building, which was opened by the cousin of General Xu Da.

Let's put it this way!In Yingtian Mansion, even if you offend the Minister or the Prime Minister, it is not a big problem. Your Majesty will look at the situation.

If you offend Xiaqiu Village, His Majesty will not care about you, because Xiaqiu Village never takes the initiative to trouble others.

No one else can enter Xiaqiu Village. There is a huge area, all belonging to Xiaqiu Village, outside the Chaoyang Gate.

If you can enter Xiaqiu Village, you can enter the Prince's Mansion, day or night.

When you go to Yingtian Mansion one day, remember not to speak ill of Xiaqiu Village, as long as people around you hear about it, you will be in trouble. "

"Treasurer Tao, as you said, Xiaqiu Village has money, so... you can find us... right?" The person next to him asked puzzled.

"You are worried because you are worried that His Royal Highness will rob you of your money, we are not worried, we are just waiting to do things with His Royal Highness.

Xiaqiu Village never works alone and is willing to bring others to make money together. There are five memorial arches at the entrance of the village personally gifted by His Majesty.

There is also the word bestowed by His Majesty, Great Ming Pillar.This time, Xiaqiu Village must want to bring us money, otherwise they can steal all our business at their own expense.

Listen to my advice, don't worry, there are only benefits.What His Royal Highness asked us to do, we must immediately support it. "

After Shopkeeper Tao finished speaking, he walked towards another group of people chatting together.

Not only him, but all the businessmen who have been to Yingtian Mansion this year to do business are looking for someone to say the same thing.

Sure enough, it worked, and the wealthy households who were anxious felt relaxed.

They didn't know that these businessmen who had been to Yingtian Mansion were found by the people of Prince Qin's Mansion for a private talk.

They naturally cooperate, one is to believe in Xiaqiu Village and His Highness the Crown Prince, and the other is to go to Yingtian Mansion to do business in the future.

Everyone was communicating, and they took a look at the work of the Weaver Girl who was working. Everything else was fine, but it was slow.

It wasn't until the second quarter of the sixth day that Zhu Biao and Zhu Sui didn't show up, and six quarters of an hour later it would be noon.

Everyone knelt and kowtowed, this couldn't be avoided, formally giving a banquet, there should be proper etiquette.

Zhu Biao said a few words, and Zhu Xi followed suit.

Then the head of the village came forward, cupped his fists and saluted: "You are all people in our country who can help the people in the local area. We have wanted to meet you for a long time, but we have never had the chance.

Today coincides with His Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin giving a banquet, so we dare to take this opportunity to discuss with you about the business partnership.

Let’s tell the story first, and you can decide whether it’s successful or not. It’s voluntary and not forced.

Let’s first see how the cotton is turned into cotton cloth. The big steps are four, and the small ones are many. "

Everyone: "..."

Are you bold?Your Highness the Crown Prince and His Highness the King of Qin gave a banquet, and you actually took the opportunity to talk about business?
