Han Du saw it and nodded slightly with satisfaction. He raised his hands and pressed them, and said: "I, Han Du, am a merchant who came here from the Ming Dynasty to trade. This time we have brought goods unique to the Ming Empire. I am going to hold a dinner party in the manor to sell these goods the day after tomorrow. Please come and support me, I would like to express my thanks in advance!”
After saying that, Han Du handed over to everyone with a smile on his face.
Originally they didn't know what Han Du wanted to do, but after hearing Hader's report, they were all extremely surprised. You know, for a strongman like Tarrey, when dealing with them in the past, he never asked their opinions at all, and always directly drove the goods to the estates of a few big businessmen.
You have to buy it, you have to buy it, you have to buy it if you don’t buy it!
They still have a favorable impression of someone like Han Du who is powerful and doesn't buy or sell by force. Seeing Han Du's smiling face, people who were originally afraid of Han Du gradually calmed down. They all nodded and said that they would definitely support him when the time comes.
After letting out the news of selling goods, Han Du walked down from the middle position. Returning to Zhu Biao, he placed the wine glass in his hand on the long table.
Asked: "Everything that needs to be done has been done. Should we continue to stay here and finish the banquet, or should we say goodbye and leave?"
Zhu Biao also put down the wine glass in his hand and sighed: "It's better to leave. Since we have to hold a banquet to entertain these people the next day, time is still a bit tight. I haven't rested since I came down from the sea. I have been everywhere in the past few days. After running around, let’s go back and take a rest first and prepare for the banquet the day after tomorrow.”
Han Du nodded, turned to Hade and said, "Tell the Lord of the City that we are going back to prepare for the banquet the day after tomorrow, and we will leave today."
After finishing speaking, Han Du bowed slightly towards Hader when he conveyed his complaint to the city lord.
Zhu Biao saw the eyes that everyone was looking at him. The various meanings in these eyes disappeared, and were replaced by eyes filled with fear and fear.
Han Du followed Zhu Biao's gaze and glanced at everyone. He turned back and smiled at Zhu Biao: "Before today, they had never heard of the name of the Ming Empire; after today, they never dare to forget the majesty of the Ming Empire!"
Zhu Biao nodded and said with a smile: "Is this the way you said to make Ming Dynasty show its power?"
"Yes, isn't this bad?" Han Du nodded calmly and asked.
Zhu Biao shook his head slightly, "That's not what I meant. You did a good job in this matter. Everyone is arrogant at first and respectful at the end. We can do better here with the help of the power of the Ming Empire."
Han Du and others wanted to leave, so the city lord naturally did not dare to stop them in the slightest. He nodded directly and agreed, and personally sent Han Du and others outside the gate.
After Han Du and others left, the banquet could no longer go on. Everyone else wanted to go back and carefully consider everything they witnessed here today. Even the Lord of the City had the same idea.
As a result, the banquet naturally came to an end. After Han Du and others left, the others said goodbye to the city lord one by one and left.
A good banquet ended abruptly because of Han Du's actions.
...
Zhu Biao walked out of the door, turned his head and asked Han Du with a smile: "Since you are planning to sell the goods at the banquet the day after tomorrow, have you thought about how to sell them?"
"Don't worry, Your Highness, I have already thought about this." Han Du nodded and replied.
Zhu Biao glanced at Han Du and saw that Han Du did not continue, so he smiled and nodded and stopped asking further questions. Since Han Du didn't say anything, Han Du probably wanted to save the suspense for the banquet the day after tomorrow.
Although Zhu Biao was very curious, he still had the determination. It was just a two-day wait, and he could afford to wait.
...Since we are entertaining others, the manor must be decorated. And there are still a lot of chores. We can't let the navy officers do these jobs, right?
So, Han Du went to the slave market and bought a batch of slaves that day. Among them, there are also several housekeepers who are used to support their dignity.
Hard's manor is small, so one butler is enough to manage it. But Handu's manor is much larger than Hard's, and the area of the castle alone is larger than Hard's manor. Moreover, it is still built with several floors up and down according to the mountain.
If there was only one butler in such a manor, just the distance he walked every day to deal with affairs would be enough to tire him to death in a short time.
Therefore, Han Du bought six housekeeper slaves in one go.
Since we are decorating the manor, we invite others to the banquet. In order to leave an unforgettable impression on those people, Handu even moved some of the furniture and decorations on the ship to the castle.
In the midst of Han Du's busy preparations, two days flew by.
When it came to the banquet time set by Han Du, Han Du set the venue in the manor he just bought. Since the manor was some distance away from the city of Horumos, those invited to the banquet took carriages out of the city early in the morning and drove towards the manor.
The first person to come to Handu Manor was the Lord of Hulumos City. According to the unspoken rules of upper class society, he should come after everyone else has arrived.
Under the guidance of the maid, the city lord walked towards the upper level of the castle. When he came to the door of the banquet hall, he only took one look, and his expression suddenly changed. He actually saw these Ming people spreading silk that was more precious than gold on the ground.
The bright red and beautiful colors of silk are laid on the ground, which is indeed very beautiful. Before the city lord came here, he had never heard of anyone spreading silk on the ground.
'These merchants of the Ming Empire are indeed from the land where silk is produced. Even such precious silk can be used to pave the floor. '
After the original city lord took a few glances, he prepared to go around to both sides and enter from there. But he was stopped by the guiding maid, who motioned him to walk away from the bright red silk!
"Is this used to greet the outside and let us leave?" The city lord couldn't believe it, so he just spread the precious silk on the ground. Didn’t you realize that this is not just for watching, but for walking?
After receiving a positive reply from the maid, the city lord couldn't help but sigh in his heart. In the past, his life was considered luxurious. But compared to laying silk on the ground for stepping on, there is still a huge gap.
Facing such exquisite silk, the city lord stood there and hesitated for a long time, unable to make his move. In the end, seeing the people behind him getting closer and closer, he bit the bullet and stepped on it. The city lord seemed to feel the lightness and smoothness of the silk under the soles of his feet, and an indescribable feeling surged into his heart.
Walking into the banquet hall, the shape here is still similar to the banquet hall in his city lord's palace, but the surrounding decorations and various furnishings have undergone earth-shaking changes.
The first thing the city lord saw were two red wooden frames placed one on the left and one on the right. He had never seen such wooden frames despite his extensive knowledge. The wood he had seen before was cut down and dried in the sun before being used to make various tools.
But the wooden frame in front of him was an eye-opener for him. He could clearly see the clear wooden texture on the wooden frame and knew it was made of wood. But he didn't understand what kind of wood had such a bright red and shiny surface?
The red paint painted on the surface of the wooden frame made the city lord think that this was the original appearance of the wood, which greatly amazed him.
It’s not over yet, the wooden frame used as a foil is so exquisite, so wouldn’t the things placed on it be even more amazing?
Sure enough, as the city lord focused his attention on the wooden shelf, a completely white porcelain was placed on it. The porcelain is all white, and under the light, a transparent halo can be seen.
He raised his head and took a closer look at the edge of the porcelain, and found that it was as thin as a layer of silk.
It’s not like the city lord has never seen porcelain before. Even his city lord's palace has a lot of porcelain from the Ming Dynasty. But he had never seen porcelain that was so thin, so transparent and exquisite. But just by looking at it, he could easily tell that this kind of porcelain was much better than the ones he had bought before.
Even the city lord was a little undecided. Is the thing in front of him porcelain or other treasures?
The city lord was intoxicated by the exquisiteness of the porcelain in front of him. He came back to his senses after being called out by the maid several times, and continued walking inside with the slave. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the porcelain that was like a treasure. The city lord didn't know what kind of shock was waiting for him inside.
Sure enough, the city lord followed the maid in and soon saw a huge picture. It is not that there are no painters in Khrumos, but the paintings here are mostly portraits, and there are almost no paintings of mountains, rivers, lakes and seas.
But now the city lord went to see a light-ink landscape painting on the wall, which conveyed the artistic conception of thousands of mountains and green waters. It is obviously just a picture scroll, but it can make people feel as if they are really seeing a landscape.
"This painting..." The city lord stood in front of the painting and frowned. He didn't know much about such things. He couldn't say whether it was good or bad. But since it can be placed here, it should naturally be more valuable than the two treasures at the door.
The city lord followed the slave all the way inside and saw things he had never seen before. Although the shapes of the tables and chairs are weird, they are extremely comfortable to sit on; there is a row of screens, the hollow wooden frames are stretched with silk, and there are exquisite pictures embroidered on them.
The entire banquet hall was decorated by Han Du with a complete oriental style and Ming Dynasty charm. Although the antique atmosphere made the city owner a little uncomfortable, after sitting on the chair for a while, he actually felt peaceful.
While the city lord was immersed in peace of mind, others also walked in. Everyone was stunned when they saw such a strange decoration.
