Brocade clothing as the country

Chapter 1086 The first thousand and eighty-five out of a public heart
The capital is the capital of the Ming Empire. The nobles of the royal family, high-ranking officials and wealthy businessmen all live here. There is no shortage of luxurious and enjoyable things, and everyone can afford any valuable things.

This jewelry shop is one of a kind. The goods here are made of gold, silver, pearls and jade, and they are exquisitely crafted. The price of each piece is very high. The silver deposits in the shop and the money flowing in and out of the shop are not small. Number of.

If it is the jewelry stores in Beicheng that serve honorable and high-ranking officials, the price of jewelry, the daily flow of water, and the amount of gold and silver stored on the cabinets are even more extraordinary.

Since Tianjin Wei opened the sea, some jewelry from the West, Arabia, Tianzhu, and even Japanese styles began to appear on the market.

In terms of exquisiteness, these things may not be better than Daming's goods, but they are more exotic, and in the eyes of wealthy families in Daming, many of these foreign things are particularly shameless, that is to say, they are especially suitable for extravagance and lust, so These foreign styles also have a market and are quite popular.

There are quite a few shops dealing in this kind of jewelry, and the four largest are the four. These four are all run by the natives of the capital. Some of them are dignitaries and some are eunuchs.

But the people involved knew that the nobles and eunuchs were all famous names, and there were some rich businessmen who were gangsters and gangsters to partner with them.What they have to do is to share dividends and get money, and act as a front at critical times.

It's not that no one has had a crooked mind. For example, they want to take advantage of the situation to swallow the other party's members, but they often find that there are some huge monsters behind the other party. They can't see these huge monsters clearly, but they are enough to crush them to death, or After being cleaned up or warned, these people also survived, and they did not dare to ask about the operation and accounts of these shops if they did not go at all.

Jinyiwei and Dongchang are also concerned about such shops, but the news from these two places is that a certain official and a certain honorable family member often come and go.

This is also normal, isn't the jewelry store just doing business for these people, not for the women's family business of these wealthy families, could it be that men go there?The focus is only here, not more or less, but if you understand it further, it will be completely different.

For example, Mrs. Ru of a certain servant bought two pairs of silver bracelets in this shop. The silver bracelets are worthless, and the two pairs are not worth much. It was packed in a gold box, and on the gold box were red tassels, and jade bibs were hung on the tassels.

The gold box and jade bi are extremely magnificent, but the shop was painted and made into wood, and the things were sent to the inner house of the servant's mansion. The servant, Mrs. Ru, lost his temper and returned the box, but it was returned. At that time, it was the real wooden box, and the matter was not over yet. Next, the golden box and jade bi, if my wife found a family member to pawn it in a pawnshop, then the pawnshop offered such an expensive thing, and the jade bi was an ancient thing, so it was given to the pawnshop again. A very high price.

This entry and exit, everything is logical, but a large amount of money fell into the servant's mansion without a trace.

Of course, normal business is also done, but if you look at the accounts, basically you don’t make any money, and the profits you earn are probably subsidized by others.

But there is no law in the world that says that business can only make money but not lose money. The accounts are clear. Two pairs of silver bracelets are sold and the cash is paid. Who can say that there is a problem.

Several jewelry shops, one or two businesses, are very secretive. At the level of servants, they are very careful in doing things. They are also worried that their handles will be caught by these jewelry shops. They were all sent to watch, or entrusted, and spies from Jinyiwei, Shuntianfu, and the Ministry of Punishment were used to see that there were no clues, so they slowly felt relieved.

Everyone is not a fool, and they know that with this money, something will come to them one day, but there is no reason to take money for nothing, and the money is better than anything else.

These jewelry shops often have first-class people in charge, either to solicit business, or to relax at home. There are also many places like brothels and Chuguan. Some instructions and reports are handed over and rotated unconsciously in such places. , into the hands of those who should arrive.

In mid-September, a large number of goods were shipped from Tianjin Wei. People who saw it were all amazed at the real big deal. The ruts were so deep on the hard ground, and there must be gold and silver treasures inside. something that matters.

After each family purchased the goods, according to the rules of the industry, they posted a post to the acquaintances, saying that there are a lot of new styles in the industry, and the grandmas of each family are invited to come and have a look and choose what they like.

After coming, they naturally came back with a full load, and after a lot of tossing according to the routine, the legitimate money fell into the pocket. In a Zhuangzi in Tongzhou, the capital, all the 30 taels of silver originally saved were all withdrawn at once.

*****************
When getting up in the morning, the officials who are eligible to go to court are waiting at the Daming Gate. In the past, they would come here before dawn. Now Emperor Wanli has strict rules, and the rules of the ancestors have also been changed. You can come here after breakfast. , but it was a little later when I went back, which was also in line with everyone's wishes. There were a few calls from the old-fashioned people who were ignored and passed.

Nowadays, there is also a scene in front of the Daming Gate, where a few envoys from North Korea knelt and cried in front of the gate before dawn, begging Shangguo for rescue.

Every time the palace sent eunuchs to comfort and even provide meals, but they never gave specific promises. At the beginning, the bosses looked at it fresh, but later they felt bored and didn’t pay attention at all. They kowtowed and cried Go, let's talk about ours.

The content of the private chat is actually related to North Korea. The military merits of Daming have become more and more important in recent years. After so many big mistakes, why didn't they fall? There are two generals with more than a dozen lieutenants. It is because Li Rusong has made great contributions over the years. As for Wang Tong, he is so conspicuous, needless to say.

With this obstacle, whoever will be the commander-in-chief of this army, the various forces will move very tightly, and the Li family is very active up and down. Sometimes I help, but other times there will definitely be rewards. Wang Tong basically does not act, even some neutral ones are unwilling to act, so it may not be good to remember!Then again, if Wang Tong really wanted to come, they would not be willing to pick up the fight, after all, there are too many competitions and conflicts with each other.

"Old Wangge seems to be silent."

".Cifu Shen has always been said to have shown a little bit of flair, but I don't know who was warned by someone, and he shrank back again."

Everyone who is familiar with each other gathers together and discusses in a low voice. This is said here, and there are also people saying:

"I heard that the Li family went to look for Shen Shihang? Asking Shen Shihang to speak out is of some importance, but Shen Shihang is very modest now, and it is impossible to see behind closed doors!"

". Tsk tsk, his Li family is really willing to spend money."

"Think about it, if the Li family doesn't take charge of this matter in this situation, not to mention whether their status is stable or not, I'm afraid they won't be able to earn any money. Can you not be in a hurry?"

"There is a fart in North Korea, that is, Korean ginseng and Korean paper. I don't care about that place, so I don't care."

Wang Xijue was on the other side, and he didn't get out of the sedan chair. After a servant waited on him and drank the ginseng soup, he closed his eyes and rested in the sedan chair. He didn't move, which didn't mean others didn't move. After a while, someone came over and whispered:
"Mr. Ge, some people say that Pan Jixun from the Ministry of Industry showed his tone, saying that Wang Tong is suitable to be handsome, and he wants to say it at the court meeting."

Hearing this, Wang Xijue opened his eyes slightly, closed them again, and said softly:

"It's ridiculous. His eyelids are so shallow. Others helped to print the book, and he forgot everything. We, as courtiers, can participate in such matters. It is the emperor's decision. Let him be more cautious."

The people outside the sedan chair quickly agreed, and then left again. Only then did Wang Xijue open his eyes, and said in a cold voice:
"Confused!"

*****************
Those who are eligible to participate in the court meeting have made up their minds, don't say anything about who is handsome, wait and see, but if they get the benefits, or they have a choice, let the people below wave the flag and shout, it's not necessary for them Jump out so early.

But there was a surprising change in the court meeting on this day. The two servants of the Ministry of Punishment and the Ministry of Households were both Shangshu. Negligence, there is an army of Japanese pirates in North Korea at the moment, even if the court is sure, it must treat it with the attitude of a lion and a rabbit, and there must be no negligence in the slightest.

There was also Shangshu, the left deputy of the Metropolitan Procuratorate, who said that the elite mobile forces that Daming can produce at the moment are the various units of the Tiger's Mighty Army. The precedents of Huacheng and Jianzhou are not a problem in North Korea.

These few people may not understand the art of war and military affairs, and what they speak is a well-regulated layman's language, but they are considered to have no faction in the court, at least they have no contact with Wang Tong's faction, and they don't even have much business in Tianjinwei and Songjiang. industry.

They said this, and from the perspective of the memorial itself, there was no bias, they just cited one example after another, just discussing the facts.

Therefore, although the number of people who said this was not many, it gave people a feeling of "out of public interest", which had a great influence on those officials who were watching or had some sense of justice. Originally, most of the ruling and opposition parties were talking about Li Rusong as the commander in chief. , and now all of a sudden, each has its own support.

But the key problem is that the emperor has not made a decision yet. Of course, no one has noticed the adults who are talking, and the family members often go to the jewelry store——
