The trade fair at Xiaoxiaochang ended, and all the major businessmen were very satisfied with today's results. I initially discussed business with missions from various countries.
This is also Xu Qin's way to make them feel more comfortable when paying money.
On the next day, we will start collecting money and demarcating territory in the market. Because the market now only has a gate. In fact, it is just two pillars.
These merchants have to build the shops inside the market, and those who pay first can choose the location first. And although these shops are in the market, they belong to the merchants themselves.
Xu Qin really went to great lengths to save money, but the merchants themselves were also willing.
Although businessmen in the Ming Dynasty may not have the concept of special economic zones, their sense of smell is keen.
The Qianqian was built here, and it was the decree of the imperial court. It was established by His Majesty. This place will become a trading place for various countries, everything will prosper, and the shops here will be very valuable.
Therefore, businessmen will only worry about the small area given to them, and no one will worry about their own shop being too big.
Xu Qin was very unhappy in front of Zhu Di, but after Zhu Di left, he returned to his shop and ordered a bottle of good wine to drink to celebrate.
When I was drunk, it was already dark. The merchants in Xiaoxiaochang left one after another.
Xu Qin also got into the carriage with Xu Fugui's help, and reclined in the warm carriage, feeling drowsy.
The carriage walked along the street towards the Duke of Wei's mansion. Luo Zhong was originally going to follow with fifty people. Xu Qin sent them back.
Because tomorrow is the most important thing, with Xu Fugui and a few guards here tonight, nothing big will happen.
The carriage drove along the street, and with the sound of horse hooves clicking on the road, Xu Qin felt like he was falling asleep.
Suddenly there was a shouting sound outside, and Xu Qin woke up. Tuck the handle as underneath.
There was a crossbow somewhere, and he quickly cocked it.
After waiting for a while, Xu Fugui knocked on the carriage compartment.
"Young Master, this is Yunhe." Xu Fugui said quietly.
Xu Qin opened the carriage and lifted the curtain, and a cold and weak woman got in.
It was Yunhe, the oiran from Mianyue Tower, with a broken and bloody mouth. His feet were bare, and he was only wearing a large cloak, but underneath were small, close-fitting clothes.
"Young Master, I never thought I would be alive to see you..." Yun He saw Xu Qin's miserable smile, and his strength and weakness on the verge of death made people feel heartbroken.
"Yunhe, who bullied you? Why are you so embarrassed?" Xu Qin quickly hugged her cold body and asked.
Yunhe shook his head desperately, just snuggling in his arms, feeling very hard.
"I am very satisfied to die in your arms..." Yunhe fell unconscious after saying one word.
"Go back to Duke Wei's mansion and don't stay." Xu Qin ordered, putting down the crossbow in his hand.
As the carriage moved forward, it happened to encounter Mianyue Tower's old madam Mei Sheng and a group of thugs chasing him.
Seeing that the curfew was about to begin, the old madam frowned and sweated profusely.
"Master Xu, did you see a woman running past you on the way here?" Mei Sheng looked at the carriage of Duke Wei's mansion, and Xu Fugui happened to ask quickly.
"Woman? It's freezing and snowy at night. The woman who came here, Mei Sheng, is the girl from Mianyuelou running away?"
Xu Fugui knew what was going on at a glance. It seemed that Yunhe had run away from Mianyue Tower. And it was in the young father-in-law’s car.
But he had to pretend to know nothing and asked with a surprised look on his face.
"Hey, don't mention it. I'll wait for Mr. Xu to drink some other time." Mei Sheng said and quickly led others to continue chasing.
Xu Qin heard it clearly, but because of his identity, he didn't need to pay attention to an old madam like Mei Sheng.
When we get to Mianyue Tower, we can agree with each other and make harmless jokes. But the gap outside is between heaven and earth.
The carriage entered the Duke of Wei's mansion. Xu Qin personally carried Yunhe back to the back house. I saw many maids and women along the way.
But no one dared to talk. Xu Miaojin's running a family was like leading an army to fight. Anyone in the inner house who dared to talk nonsense would have been beaten to death.
When the four girls saw the young father-in-law holding a woman, they couldn't help but be shocked. Moreover, the woman looked almost naked and had injuries on her body.
However, he looked at Xu Qin even more strangely.
"That look is not from me. This is Yunhe from Mianyue Tower." Xu Qin said.
At the same time, he put Yunhe on the bed and covered him with a quilt.
Yun He always held onto Xu Qin's clothes and refused to let go. I was afraid that I would disappear as soon as I let go.
The four maids hurriedly made Luo hot soup, washed her face, and treated her wounds.
Only then did he realize that Yun He was clutching a sharp hairpin with his other hand. There was blood on it.
This shocked the four maids. What kind of woman was she? She was so desperate.
Xu Qin had already made a rough guess, and couldn't help but sigh that he was indeed a big scumbag. He reached out and took the hairpin out of Yunhe's hand.
Yunhe finally woke up.
"My mother arranged for me to pick up guests today. My body belongs to my young father-in-law. I didn't want other men to touch it, so I stabbed him and ran out."
Yunhe said tremblingly, so shocked that the four maids covered their mouths and almost screamed. This is all for the young father-in-law.
They couldn't help but look at Xu Qin.
Xu Qin reached out and touched the scar on the corner of her mouth, feeling very uncomfortable and moved in his heart. I never thought there was such an infatuated woman in the world.
Knowing that she had experienced misery and loneliness, he still used that poem to tease her. Now Yunhe was gambling with his life.
It was conceivable that if he refused her to get in the car today, there would probably be another sad corpse in Yingtian Mansion.
She would rather die than let Mei Sheng take her back. That hairpin can hurt others, and I'm afraid she can also commit suicide.
"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one can hurt you again." Xu Qin said, gently stroking her forehead.
Yun He then smiled sadly, and the wound on his lip tore open again, leaving blood stains.
"It's Wei Chun. I stabbed him there, and he will no longer be humane." Yun He smiled sadly.
Xu Qin almost burst into tears from laughter, what a silly woman.
"You are awesome, you did everything I wanted to do for me." Xu Qin said with a smile.
"Would it cause trouble for you? His brother-in-law is the King of Han. If it doesn't work, just hand me over. I can see you one last time, so it's worth dying."
Instead, Yun He was worried about causing trouble for Xu Qin.
"What a crazy woman. She talks nonsense, let alone the King of Han, even the prince can't take you away. Don't worry, have a good sleep and leave the rest to me."
Xu Qin said softly. How could a woman live up to her absolute tenderness if she was willing to die for herself?
Yunhe was really exhausted and fell asleep under Xu Qin's comfort.
The four maids were already crying with tears in their eyes. There were really such infatuated women in the world who would rather die for the young father-in-law.
That night Yunhe slept next to Xu Qin, and Xu Qin comforted her all night, but she always woke up in her sleep.
After seeing Xu Qin, he fell asleep peacefully. Xu Qin had no choice but to sing her lullabies and children's songs, finally letting her fall into a deep sleep.
The next day, Xu Qin took Xu Fugui and thirty tough guards from his family directly to the hunting ground outside Dinghuai Gate.
He came early, and those merchants came even earlier.
Today is the time to pay the deposit and allocate shop locations. A total of more than 60 shops have arrived. Each family's price ranges from five to one hundred thousand taels.
The proportion of payment is half of the treasure notes and half of the white notes. During the Hongwu period, copper coins were prohibited from circulation, and treasure banknotes were mainly used.
It's just that Comrade Zhu Yuanzhang didn't learn enough from the Mongols. The Yuan Dynasty issued treasure banknotes based on the silver from the national treasury.
Comrade Lao Zhu acted according to his mood, which caused a large amount of devaluation of treasure notes during the Yongle period. Now it has reached the point of thirty to one.
The Ming Dynasty government also tried its best to recover the treasure banknotes. Half of the deposit paid was the treasure banknotes.
Mr. Xia is responsible for paying the deposit, verifying the silver and treasure notes, and Xu Qin is just a mascot.
Covered in a fur cloak, I was lying on a deck chair basking in the sun. I didn't sleep well last night, so I just needed to catch up on my sleep now.
Luo Zhong and other five hundred Shenji Battalion soldiers came just for this more than one million taels of silver.
On the one hand, it is for these businessmen to see, and on the other hand, it is also to ensure the safety of these people.
All of a sudden, the place was filled with mountains of gold and silver, white silver, yellow and orange gold, and bundles of treasure notes, piled up into a huge mountain.
After the recuperation of the Hongwu Dynasty, the merchants of the Ming Dynasty had begun to take shape, and anyone could come up with money.
In addition, this is a once-in-a-century opportunity to go overseas, and every family must fight for it even if they lose everything.
After the deposit is paid, the market will officially start trading tomorrow. In addition to the gifts given to the Great Emperor Zhu Di by foreign envoys.
The rest will be sold here to Ming merchants, or directly exchanged for goods from Ming merchants.
The Ming Dynasty also levied a 10% tax on this link.
Xu Qin was resting happily when a yin and yang blocked his face.
"Young Master, the Dai family members have arrived." Xu Fugui said in a low voice.
Since Xu Qin promised his aunt to give the Dai family a chance, he naturally met the Dai family. It just depends on whether the conditions satisfy you.
"I met my young master in the next generation, Deqing." Dai Deqing was neither humble nor overbearing, and had a graceful demeanor.
"I heard that your two Huai salt merchants also have gold and silver in their homes?" Xu Qin asked, imitating Zhu Di's accent.
When it comes to extortion, people from Lao Zhu's family are experts.
"I don't dare. It's just a hard life accumulated over generations. It can't be compared to the young master. He can swallow the ocean with just a wave of his hand."
Dai Deqing was very polite, constantly devaluing himself and simultaneously promoting Xu Qin.
"I like Su Mingquan. Please bring me the deed of betrayal. I'll take care of the business of going to sea."
Xu Qin had no shame at all in seizing concubines. People in the Song Dynasty had the habit of giving concubines to each other. He wanted to try it with or without the Ming Dynasty.
His shameless face did not turn red, but Dai Deqing felt relieved. If you like a woman, just say it.
Su Mingquan was indeed rare among women, but she was a concubine after all. How could a pure and flawless virgin be more attractive.
"Back to the young master, Aunt Su is my father's concubine. Even if you ask my father, I'm afraid he won't be able to agree. If word of this spreads, it will harm the reputation of the young master. We, on behalf of the family, are committing a grave sin."
Dai Deqing said, pulling out a small box from his sleeve.
"This is a small gift from the family to the young master, a pair of virgins, and a courtyard in Nanjing City. As for the other things, it is as usual. Please accept it with pleasure."
Dai Deqing said with a smile.
"Haha, it's not rare. I want Su Mingquan. I don't care about reputation." Xu Qin looked like a bastard eating a weight.
"Twin sisters!" Dai Deqing said softly.
Damn it...
Xu Qin suddenly sat up from the recliner.
"Seriously?" Xu Qin swallowed.
"How dare you deceive the young master? The Dai family spent a lot of money to find it, and it was specially reserved for the young master."
When Dai Deqing saw Xu Qin's performance, he knew it was done.
"Forget it, I'll leave Su Mingquan to your master. I won't be respectful." Xu Qin was so excited that his mouth watered.
Sisters, or twins. Sorry, Mrs. Su, please wait. Don't be anxious.
"Young Master, the list of candidates has been announced. But how did this family get in?" Dai Deqing had to ask clearly.
"Have you ever thought that our Majesty is so generous that the amount of reward is ten times the amount of tribute. But the remaining things cannot be sold for that much money. What do they use to buy things?"
Xu Qin asked.
"Can I ask someone to borrow it? Young Master said that the Dai family can do loan business?" Dai Deqing asked.
"More than that, we lent them money and we can't wait for them to repay it on their own initiative, so do the Dai family have to send someone to go to sea with them? How will they bring the money back after they go out? Do they have to take a boat with them? Your Dai family has a boat, right? .”
Xu Qin said lightly.
Dai Deqing was so excited that he could still operate like this.
