After everyone calmed down, Liu Haojia calmly said: "There are members of the Liu family who are members of Lord Long Live. Are you planning to steal money from Lord Long Live?"
Now everyone blushed and became silent! Some even wiped the cold sweat from their foreheads! Just at that moment, they had completely forgotten the existence of Emperor Wanli! This is the real benefit and wisdom!
But after a while, someone said: "Mr. Liu, we know how to make this glassware at home. Can we make it ourselves and use it ourselves?"
Liu Haojia nodded and said: "That's natural. But your shops will be located in other provinces in the future. Wouldn't it be troublesome to transport them back? How about this, you buy from me, and I will give you a low price? Anyway, you can't Just a few taels of silver!"
This is also true when everyone thinks about it. There is a cost to transport things back. It is more cost-effective to pay less and buy them from Liu Haojia at a low price. So this one is over.
Liu Haojia then continued: "Nanjing City and the surrounding areas are exclusive to the Xu family and will not be shared with others."
After hearing this, everyone was silent for a moment and began to talk actively, while an old butler sitting in the front row of the crowd straightened his back proudly! It seems that he is someone sent by the Xu family in Nanjing!
After the founding of the Ming Dynasty, Zhu Yuanzhang established his capital in Nanjing. But then he used the Lan Yu case and the Hu Weiyong case to massacre heroes. After the Jingnan incident, there were not many left of the founding heroes who were canonized by Zhu Yuanzhang!
After Zhu Di boarded the plane, he directly took all the nobles he promoted to the capital, while some of the nobles inherited from Zhu Yuanzhang's period stayed in Nanjing. In this way, the nobles of the Ming Dynasty were divided into two systems, the north and the south. In the capital, there is the Fengtian Jingnan Department, and here in Nanjing, there is the founding auxiliary movement department!
Although the nobles are divided into two families, the north and the south, the contact between them has never been broken, and even the marriage has not stopped. It is basically you who have me, and I have you! Therefore, as soon as the news that Liu Haojia was looking for ways to make money for the nobles spread, it quickly spread to Jiangnan, so the nobles from Jiangnan naturally sent representatives.
But since they have been divided into two factions, the north and the south, there are naturally conflicts among them, so a moment later someone said: "The Xu family has been in Jinling for generations and has been extremely wealthy! How can such a good thing be given to their family? And Mr. Liu, don’t forget, you are a noble person from the north who came from the capital!”
The old man sitting in the front row who had just straightened his back immediately turned his head and glared at the speaker! Several people around him also cooperated with him to refute others, but the two sides refused to give in and made sarcastic remarks to each other. It was about to start a quarrel!
At this time, Liu Haojia knocked on the table to signal everyone to quiet down, and then he said loudly: "If you want to do business in Jiangnan, can you avoid the Xu family? If you think you can avoid it, I don't care!"
As soon as he said this, everyone immediately fell silent. The old butler of the Xu family proudly turned around and exchanged greetings with several people around him, thanking them for their help just now. Then he stood up and saluted Liu Haojia and said, "Mr. Liu, you can uphold justice, and our Xu family can't help but be grateful! Don't worry, our Xu family will be rewarded generously!"
After Liu Haojia returned the gift and saw that everyone was silent, he snorted in his heart! It seems that they also understand that they cannot avoid the Xu family in Jiangnan! They have been entrenched in the south of the Yangtze River for more than 200 years, and they have penetrated everything from top to bottom. It can be said that the tree is big and has deep roots! If a real local snake is offended, the Jiangnan market will not be able to operate at all!
Liu Haojia then continued to read the list, and he divided the nobles who were eligible to participate in the entire Ming Dynasty into five batches, each in charge of five markets. I heard that the distribution is roughly divided along the north-south direction, but the market area in the south is slightly smaller and is only divided into two parts. Therefore, many northern nobles want to go deep into the south.
However, everyone has no objection to this distribution, because the economy of the north is indeed inferior to that of the south. Although the north is vast in area, it is far behind the south in terms of taxation and population. So this allocation is a very responsible way of allocation.
Moreover, Liu Haojia also took the relationship of each family into consideration, and tried his best to allocate people who are relatives or married to each other, as well as people who are close to each other, which will make their internal communication smoother and easier. Choose a person in charge.
After he finished reading, he said: "Now it has been allocated to you. If you have any objections, you can raise them as soon as possible and explain the reasons. Otherwise, this will be implemented in the future."
After speaking, he looked around. Everyone looked at each other, but no one stood up to raise objections. In fact, Liu Haojia also knew that he did not have the ability to conquer all nobles. The reason why people did not object was because he had the formula and process of glass in his hands.
Another reason is that even the nobles know that it is not necessary to keep entangled with each other. They just need someone to mediate. Liu Haojia has a sufficient status and is a close minister of the emperor. As long as his distribution is not outrageous, everyone can accept it. , so it’s just a donkey downhill slope!
After a while, Wei Guogong's old housekeeper stood up and said: "Since everyone has no idea, let's divide it according to this!"
After speaking, he handed over his hand to Liu Haojia and said, "Master Liu is indeed smart! This distribution plan is both fair and clear!"
But just at this moment, someone said loudly: "I have an objection!"
Everyone turned around in surprise and found that a middle-aged man in his forties was speaking. Everyone immediately recognized this person as the housekeeper of Uncle Wu Qing’s Mansion! This Wu Qingbo Mansion is actually Empress Dowager Li’s natal family and Emperor Wanli’s maternal family! The current Marquis of Wuqing, Li Wei, is old and rarely comes out to do things. Now the Li family has the final say on his eldest son, Li Wenquan!
The first Wu Qingbo, Li Wei, was a bricklayer. He later became successful because his eldest daughter, Li Caifeng, entered the Palace of Prince Yu during the Jiajing period and became a maid, and later gave birth to Emperor Wanli! This Li Caifeng is the current Queen Mother Li!
However, one thing to note is that Li Caifeng was sold into Prince Yu's Mansion by her father Li Wei, rather than joining! She was able to become King Yu's concubine in the end because she was pretty, right?
After King Yu ascended the throne, Li Wei, as the uncle of the state, naturally rose to the top and was awarded the post of Imperial Guard Tongzhi. When Emperor Wanli came to the throne, Li Wei was officially canonized as Wu Qingbo. After Emperor Wanli's eldest son was born, he was canonized as Marquis of Wu Qing, and his career was extremely smooth!
There are very few records about Wu Qingbo’s family in history, and those who are mentioned are all negative! Because Li Wei himself regards wealth as his life and follows money in everything, the descendants he taught will naturally not be much better!
