Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 102
Chapter 107
"On the night of the bridal chamber, when the title is named on the gold list!" This was originally the most proud, unforgettable, and romantic thing in life.But for Liu Mo, the wedding night in the bridal chamber was the most painful, most uncomfortable, and almost collapsed torture in her life.

Ran Ming was like a dead pig, sleeping very deeply, pressing down on Liu Mo, and Liu Mo couldn't push Ran Ming away no matter what.When she was crushed to death by Ran Ming, Ran Ming finally turned over.Liu Wei has not had time to rejoice.As a result, Ran Ming directly broadcast live.

Ran Ming's vomit sprayed all over Liu Wei's body. The smell can be described in ordinary words. Not to mention her a rich lady, even a beggar on the street can't stand it.

Liu Wei couldn't take it anymore, and she vomited heavily, almost vomiting gall.

Then Liu Wei teased her maid, and together they took off Ran Ming's clothes, fetched hot water, wiped Ran Ming's body, and took a bath.

After finishing these things, it will be dawn!

Liu Wei didn't close his eyes that night, and his bones were about to fall apart.Liu Wei hurriedly dressed and dressed, according to the regulations, she needs to go to your in-laws to offer tea to say hello.However, the titles of in-laws in this era are different from those in later generations, and it is easy to confuse people.Father-in-law is not called father-in-law, but uncle, and mother-in-law is not mother-in-law, but uncle.

After waking up Ran Ming, Ran Ming didn't know anything about his masterpiece last night.

While Ran Ming was washing up, Li Shi came to the front hall. She saw that Liu Mo's eyes were bloodshot, and the two dark circles were very obvious. Then she saw Liu Mo's walking posture and posture, as if she had just recovered from a long illness. patient.Mrs. Li knew Ran Ming's fighting power. Although he was a veteran and old, he still couldn't stand it.What's more, Liu Wei is a virgin and a yellow-haired girl.

Seeing Liu Mo's haggard appearance, Mrs. Li was slightly displeased, and said to Ran Ming: "Hey, husband, why don't you know how to love my sister? How can her thin body cause you so much trouble?"

Liu Wei was sure of this, and his face flushed to the base of his neck.

Ran Ming's mind was blank about what happened last night. He didn't know what happened last night, but it seemed that he had already changed his clothes when he got up early in the morning. He drank too much last night. Not a lot.Ran Ming said: "I know my mistake, I must pay attention next time!"

Liu Wei was about to cry, but she was newlywed, even if she was in pain, there was nothing to say, but she wasn't hurt by sex, but tired and tormented.

After Ran Ming brought Liu Mian into the palace to offer tea to Empress Ran Min Dong, Empress Dong formally issued a document to Liu Mian, making Liu Mian the side concubine of the Chu Kingdom and Li Shi as concubines.According to the Jin Dynasty system, Ran Ming was a one-word prince, who could have one side, three concubines, and eight concubines.The two returned to the Prince Chu's mansion, and they were newly married for three days, and the couple stayed at home.However, Liu Wei felt wronged and wanted to cry. In the three days after the newlyweds, the husband and wife were either loving each other, or sitting together reciting poems, or walking hand in hand.In ancient times, couples almost never met each other before they got married, so they relied on these three days of emergency time to cultivate their relationship!
However, Ran Ming plunged headlong into the study room after Liu Wei came back from greeting Empress Dong, and kept writing and drawing in it. No one was allowed to enter. When he was hungry, he asked the maid to bring food in. When he was sleepy, he slept in the study room. inside.

During these three days, Liu Wei didn't even see Ran Ming's face.On the first night, Ran Ming wrote a letter and handed it to Liu Xing, the groom who married Liu Mo, and asked him to bring it to Liu Yuan. She didn't know exactly what Ran Ming wrote.

After three days, it is the day when the new husband returns home according to the ceremony.This day, Ran Ming came out of the study in good spirits. For the first time, he put on the airs of a feudal king and prepared a full set of ceremonies for the feudal king.

In ancient times, the vassal king was second only to the emperor, and the emperor's chariot was the emperor's imperial car.It is composed of the seat, the pavilion and the disc, and the main color is azure.The rank of the vassal king is one level lower than the emperor, a little smaller, and the color is also bright yellow. The difference is that the emperor is in the shape of a dragon, and the vassal king is in the shape of a python. The scale is much smaller as a whole.Although the size is small, there are many people who use it. All three hundred guards of the Chu Palace were dispatched, and two hundred eunuchs Gong'e were dispatched collectively. In addition, more than 100 Liu's children and maids of Liu's family also followed!
The overall team has nearly 800 people and more than 20 large carriages.Along the way, they walked towards Liu's Restaurant in a mighty way.At this time, Liu's restaurant has all closed down, and it has been used as a separate courtyard of Liu Yuan in Yecheng.

According to the characteristics of this era, when the son-in-law returned home, he had to throw a banquet to celebrate. Today, Liu Yuan also threw a big banquet. Not only did Liu Qun, who had no contact with the concubine for decades, attend the banquet, but also Liu Yuan's relatives , Merchants who usually have business dealings, all also participate, or send representatives to come!

Liu Yuan was born as a merchant. According to regulations, he was not qualified to build the Yimen Gate. However, his daughter became the concubine of the King of Chu, and [-] gold and [-] shi of grain were given to Ran Ming. Ran Min was not careful, and with a big wave of his hand, Ran Min rewarded Liu Yuan as Marquis of Zhongling.

Of course, Ran Min is not a faint king, he can be given a title, but he doesn't have any rights. The only advantage is that all Wei officials below the marquis have to salute Liu Yuan according to the system.The state of Wei will also give Liu Yuan a salary of six hundred shi every year.

The salary of six hundred shi was only worth about a hundred gold. Liu Yuan never cared about such a small amount of money. What he valued was his status. You don't need to look at him directly, but now, even the majestic sixth-rank school captain of the city gate, when seeing him, he has to bow obediently and respectfully, kneel on one knee, cup his fists and shout, "see you for the humble rank!"

Liu Yuan's vanity was greatly satisfied. This time, Ran Ming put on a vassal guard of honor for the first time to go back and forth, which shows that Ran Ming attaches great importance to Liu Wei.

Ran Ming's guard of honor came to Liu's restaurant, in front of Liu Yuan's other courtyard.Hundreds of people including Liu Yuan, Liu Qun and others knelt in unison and said in a loud voice: "I (Caomin) wait to attend the meeting with His Royal Highness, Madam!"

In the feudal era, first the rulers and ministers, then father and son, Ran Ming walked down the chariot hand in hand with Liu Mian.Then respectfully and respectfully gave Liu Yuan another child's etiquette.Liu Yuan smiled and helped them up, "Both are good children, as long as your husband and wife are harmonious and happy, that will be the greatest comfort for us elders."

Liu Yuan was very satisfied that he could let the only vassal king of Wei State kneel down and salute to him, Liu Yuan had something to be proud of!

At this moment, the attitudes of the original merchants around Liu Yuan also changed instantly. At this moment, they found that the distance between Liu Yuan and them suddenly widened.Originally, everyone was ordinary people, the most humble merchants, but now Liu Yuan not only won the Marquis, but also received such attention from Ran Ming.

It was Liu Mo who entered the backyard, while Ran Ming entered the banquet hall in the front hall together with Liu Qun and Liu Yuan.

The guests are divided into the host and the guest, and sit down in turn.Liu Yuan has everything in his face.Because of the arrival of the King of Chu, the merchants who came here with a sense of purpose hurriedly changed the gift list, just like Wang Cheng, a leather goods dealer who often had business dealings with Liu Yuan, originally offered a gift of [-] gold, which is not supposed to be a gift. count less.Now he just went to the accountant and said that he just made a mistake in the gift, the hundred gold was right, the mistake was that he forgot to put the gift slip in the box of pearls!
The accountant told Liu Yuan that there were twelve South Sea pearls in the brocade box, each of which was the size of a pigeon's egg and perfectly round. As a merchant, Liu Yuan naturally knew what Wang Cheng meant.As soon as these twelve pearls were placed, the value of the gift money changed from one hundred gold to more than ten thousand gold.

Merchants are actually the most realistic people in the world. They know that Ran Ming does not reject merchants in Qingzhou, and takes great care of them.Now that Liu Yuan is marrying a daughter, and they are so valued by Ran Ming, they don't dare to offend Liu Yuan, and want to sell to Ran Ming indirectly!

Liu Yuan is an only daughter and has no son, so the family wealth will definitely belong to Ran Ming in the end, so presenting a big gift to Liu Yuan is also a way of expressing his opinion to Ran Ming.

Finally, those merchants had enough of showing their attitudes, and the gift money Liu Yuan received rose from [-] gold to [-] gold, nearly twenty times.

Liu Yuan was very satisfied and said, "Serve the wine!"

After exchanging pleasantries, the meat scene gradually came!
As expected, Ran Ming saw that the dishes were full of flavors, and after drinking for three rounds, he raised his wine glass and said, "Gu Wang is very grateful to all the gentlemen for coming to Ming's wedding banquet. Gu, today I borrow flowers to present Buddha! Toast to everyone!"

However, at this moment, Liu Qun, who was accompanying the main table, said: "Your Highness is talented and witty, I admire you!"

It was only then that Ran Ming remembered that borrowing flowers to offer Buddha is a very common polite saying in later generations, but in this era, there is no such idiom, and it may not appear until after the Song Dynasty.

However, Ran Ming did not explain that these merchants themselves did not have many learned people.

Ran Ming continued: "Actually, Ming also has something to discuss with you!"

"His Royal Highness, King Chu, you are very polite. If you have anything to do, you can just ask the grassroots to do it. There is no need to discuss it!" The person who spoke was Zhang Xun, the most famous chariot merchant in the world.Zhang Xun's surname was not Zhang, but Nie.His ancestor was the very famous Nie Yi.Mayi's plot failed, and Nie Yi's descendants had to change their appearance and become the current Zhang family.

Ran Ming said: "The country cannot be solid without farming, the country cannot be strong without industry, and the country cannot be rich without business! Therefore, merchants and merchants are also important matters for the country, and we must not slack off! However, you have made indelible contributions to the country, but your status is a bit embarrassing, so Ming thought that if you want to make a fortune, why not cooperate with us!"

Zhang Xun asked curiously: "Cooperation, how to cooperate?"

"How to cooperate law?"

"It's very simple! Learn from each other's strengths to make up for our weaknesses!" Ran Ming smiled and said, "During your work in the Ministry, you often encountered bandits who blocked the road and robbed you, didn't you often encounter difficulties from the government? You often suffered heavy losses due to poor news, right? Don’t you often miss good opportunities to make money because you don’t have enough financial resources?”

What Ran Ming said is the truth, especially in this troubled world, even if you hire enough bodyguards and pay enough commissions, but because of the great hunger in the world, hungry people, refugees everywhere, and Hu Qiang and Han Weak, so the trade route The most unsatisfactory, often ten shipments go down, at least five or six accidents.

Even if there are more bodyguards, the profit will be much less!
Zhang Xun was a fur merchant, and his goods were sold long-distance. Every year, he bought fur goods from Hu people and nomads, and sold them all the way to the south of the Yangtze River. From the south of the Yangtze River, he transported rice, tea, and silk to the north.Due to the raging war and the rampant theft of refugees, he lost the most.

Zhang asked, "I don't know what your highness King Chu has to say?"

In fact, Ran Ming also knew that what Zhang Xun meant was the common meaning of all the people present.

Ran Ming said: "It's very simple. We will cooperate to form an alliance. Each of you will still operate your own business area and be responsible for your business scope. I will escort you. If there are bandits along the way, I will let the army protect you and wipe out the bandits. , the government will make troubles in various places, and the lonely king will come forward to deal with them. If you are in the Wei state, you can pass without hindrance. If you make things difficult for others, you can borrow the money you need after receiving the fastest and most accurate price information!"
