Why did Song Shan take the initiative to talk to Tan Qing? It was because he saw these people were so popular. Especially although he was talking to Tan Qing, his eyes never left the leader. This person gave him a very special feeling, even though he was wearing a rather tacky brocade robe, and his whole body was full of the smell of money. But as he looked around, there was a hint of majesty in his eyes, which made him feel frightened.
This is an aura that can only be developed by those who have been in power for a long time. This person's background must be extraordinary.
Businessmen like Song Shan understand the principle of multiple friends and multiple paths. You don't even need to be friends with the other party. Even if you just meet each other once, you may be able to get great benefits in the future.
Therefore, Song Shan would not miss such an opportunity. Only by casting a wide net can he catch more fish.
Song Shan laughed and explained: "If it wasn't the first time for the shopkeeper to come here, he wouldn't have spoken like this at all."
"Oh~ why did Captain Song say this?" Tan Qing neither admitted nor refuted.
After Song Shan heard this, he subconsciously glanced at Han Du and saw that Han Du had no intention of paying any attention to him. Then he looked back at Tan Qing and explained with a smile: "It seems that the shopkeeper has not heard of the specialties of this place, right? Since you have not heard of the specialties of this place, it is a bit strange to come here directly to make a sound. ”
Tan Qing suddenly narrowed his eyes. Seeing that the other party was trying to test, he immediately laughed indifferently and said, "What's so strange about this? My master just dropped by, thinking that it's not far away anyway. Just come and take a look.”
Song Shan didn't know if what Tan Qing said was true or false. If it was false, that would be fine. If it was true, then these people might not be considered mortals. There are three large ships like this, each with at least a hundred crewmen. A trip here would take more than ten days, and the consumption during this period is not a small amount. For a small maritime businessman like Song Shan, although he can afford it, he will not choose this way if it is not necessary.
Since he didn't know whether the other party was true or false, Song Shan would treat what the other party said as true. With the intention of forming a good relationship with the other party, he deliberately said: "So that the shopkeeper will know that Governor Jiang is really great. Originally, there was nothing special about Jeolla Province, not even Korean ginseng or leather goods. There was no ship owner willing to come. But since Governor Kang came, he somehow got in touch with Japanese merchants and got a large number of Japanese knives, Japanese fans and other specialties. Now he comes to the sea of Jeolla Province Governor's Palace. Businessmen all come here for these Japanese specialties."
When Han Du heard this, he immediately understood why this place was so prosperous. Japanese knives and Japanese fans were favored by high-ranking officials during the Tang Dynasty when envoys were sent to the Central Plains. So much so that these things are worth a lot of money in the Central Plains, and they have always been the favorite goods of merchants.
Hearing that Jiang Wei had contacts with Japanese merchants, Han Du suddenly felt moved. Not caring about chatting with Song Shan anymore, Han Du got ahead of Tan Qing, raised his hands and said, "Thank you Captain Song for letting me know. I happen to be interested in Japanese specialties. I wonder where I can buy them?"
Seeing Han Du being so polite, Song Shan was immediately flattered and quickly bowed in return, "My boss, you don't have to be so polite. What we Ming people want when we go out is to help each other. If the boss wants to buy Japanese specialties, he can only go to the Governor's Mansion. Yes. Because all the specialties from the Japanese country are sold by the Governor's Mansion."
"Thank you Captain Song for letting me know. We'll meet again later if we have the chance." Han Du immediately smiled and cupped his hands, and then led Tan Qing straight towards the Governor's Mansion.
Song Shan waited until Han Du and his party had gone away before he slowly realized what he was doing, and murmured to himself in confusion: "Who are these people? They look like they are walking in a hurry, and they don't look like they are aimless. Did you come here?"
Then, he shook his head and said, "Forget it, if there is a chance to meet again in the future, let's talk about it."
When Han Du arrived at the Governor's Mansion, the gatekeeper was stunned for a moment when he saw Han Du, and then he happily wanted to come forward to see him.
The soldiers in the Governor's Mansion all came from the navy, and there was no one who didn't know Han Du as long as they were generals.
Although the principal didn't know why the Marquis was wearing a brocade robe that businessmen liked to wear, he still recognized Han Du at a glance.
Just when he was about to step forward, Han Du made a gesture towards him. This gesture is a secret code among the navy, which means to silence him.
The principal quickly took back his steps and stood there at a loss, unable to advance or retreat.
Han Du walked slowly and slowly, patting the team slowly like other businessmen. When he reached the primary school, Han Du approached him and whispered: "Take me to see the governor."
The principal nodded secretly to express his understanding, immediately made the same gesture as usual, stopped Han Du, and said, "My boss, please come with me."
The other maritime merchants glanced at Han Du and others, then withdrew their gaze without paying too much attention. This kind of situation is simply too common here in the Governor's Mansion. Some of them broke the rules of the Governor's Mansion and were invited to have tea by the soldiers; some were invited by the Governor's Mansion and were invited.
Anyway, this situation has its good and bad aspects. At first, some people were curious whether these were criminals or the guests of the Governor. But after seeing too many of them, no one was curious anymore.
Han Du and Tan Qing followed Xiao Xiao to the backyard of the Governor's Mansion. Xiao Xiao stood outside the gate, smiled, turned around and saluted Han Du with a fist, and said apologetically: "I was rude just now, and I hope you will forgive me. Mr. Governor, please forgive me." Inside, I will take the Marquis in now."
Han Du smiled and waved his hand, "It doesn't matter, I can just go in by myself, and you can go and do your work."
"This," the junior colonel was a little embarrassed, so he had to explain: "The general has not yet had time to report to the governor, so it is better to let the general go to report, or let the governor come to greet the marquis."
"No need." Han Du waved his hand.
When Tan Qing saw what the principal wanted to say, he interrupted him directly, "Are you getting more prestigious now? Do you even dare to bargain with the Marquis? Don't you understand what the Marquis means? Hurry up and give it to us Get out of here."
"General, you misunderstood me." The colonel wanted to explain, but after seeing Tan Qing's eyes widen, he ran away in despair.
"This bastard used to be under the general's command. He used to be a clean and tidy person, but now I don't know why he became like this." Tan Qing complained, and then stretched out his hand to signal, "Master Marquis, please."
Naturally, there were government soldiers guarding the governor's door. Although these government soldiers did not know Han Du, they saw that it was the person brought in by the primary school, so they naturally did not stop him. But when Han came forward, he clasped his fists and asked, "Who is this person?"
"I am the Marquis of Zhenhai, Han Du."
Although Han Du's voice was soft, it was like thunder in the ears of the two soldiers. The two of them immediately knelt down and said, "My dear, my dear, the Marquis."
Han Du raised his hand and said softly: "Get up and tell Jiang Wei that I am here."
"Yes." The two people stood up immediately, and one of them turned around and hurriedly walked inside.
Han Du followed behind and walked directly in.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Jiang Wei hurriedly running out of the inner room. When he saw Han Du, he immediately bowed respectfully and said, "Students are paying homage to the sir. The sir will not inform the students in advance when he comes, so that the students can come before him." Just go and greet Mr.
Han Du waved his hand unceremoniously and asked the soldiers to retreat. Then he smiled and said to Jiang Wei: "Forget it, I'm here secretly this time. If I told you in advance, it would be bad to make a fuss."
Jiang Wei stood up with a smile and did not immediately ask what was going on. Instead, he quickly extended his hand to invite the gentleman in. "Sir, please come in and talk."
Jiang Wei led Han Du and Tan Qing to the inner hall and sat down. After letting the maid serve tea and cakes, he sent the maid away.
When the maid came in, she instantly caught Tan Qing's attention. Until the maid left, Tan Qing's eyes couldn't help but linger for a moment at the door where the maid left.
Before Han Du could speak, Tan Qing smiled and said to Jiang Wei, "Even the maids are so beautiful. Lord Jiang is really blessed."
Jiang Wei is not a childish boy. He had already married a wife and had children in the Ming Dynasty, and his sons are now teenagers. He didn't pay attention to Tan Qing's teasing, but said with a smile: "The reputation of Silla maids has been spread all over the world since the Tang Dynasty. Such maids are not uncommon here. If the general is interested, you can spend some money on it." With the money, you can bring it back to the Ming Dynasty. Moreover, these Silla maids are very willing to go to the Ming Dynasty now."
"Oh? There is such a thing. You are not telling lies.
Are you kidding us? "Tan Qing didn't believe it. If the maid here was of ordinary appearance, wouldn't this place be a blessed nest for a bachelor like him?
However, although Tan Qing didn't read much, he had heard of the reputation of Silla's maid. I also feel that Jiang Wei might not have lied to him, otherwise if there was no such fact, Silla Maid would not have left such a profound mark in history.
Thinking that such a maid could be bought with money, Tan Qing felt hot in her heart.
Jiang Wei smiled and sighed: "What did I do to you? Don't tell me that you are a general of the Ming Dynasty. You have a bright future. Even the sea merchants outside are willing to follow them to the Ming Dynasty. The number of Silla maids is not one or two." indivual."
Seeing that the two people were talking more and more outrageously, Han Du raised his hand to interrupt what Tan Qing wanted to say. "Okay, you two can discuss these matters in private. Now I want to get down to business."
Jiang Wei's expression became serious. He knew from the fact that his husband came secretly that he must be looking for him with something important. He quickly cheered up and bowed his body slightly toward Han Du, "Sir, please give me your instructions."
