After asking, Lian Zining had a very intuitive understanding of the current situation in the entire Beijing city.

It is true that as the manager Qin, I would not know many things, but one thing, from the perspective of the market, may not be able to find something that I can't see normally. What Lian Zining wants to know is the current trend of Beijing, some messy rumors, rather than the promotion of officials and the emperor's orders.

After talking for a while, my throat was almost dry, and I had been resuming the tea three times. Even Zining almost understood what he wanted to know.

He sipped the tea and asked, "What are the caravans coming this time?"

Manager Qin quickly took out a list from his arms and handed it to Lian Zining. He had held the list in his arms for a long time before he had the chance to take it out.

This list is very long, just like a small thin book. Lian Zining shook it open and saw that there were many things inside, and there were many, and there were probably not three or five hundred kinds. From the seeds of various grains that Xishenwei urgently needed to mine gold, silver, copper and iron ore, all of which were included. There were even three thousand sets of cotton armor and fifty sets of rotten silver plate armor, and one hundred sets of good vests. At the back of these things, there were small characters written. Lian Zining knew that it was Cheng Yu's handwriting at a glance.

It turned out that most of these armors were approved by Lao Taishan from the Ministry of War, while some were given by Zhang Yanchang, the Marquis of Shouning.

Lian Zining looked at it silently, but his heart was slightly moved.

It’s still my own girl who is careful. There are so many things. How long does it take to prepare for everything and how careful it is to be able to be completely clear?

The price of these things is of course not comparable to the various rare treasures, mountain goods, gold and silver that are constantly transported into the capital, but this thought makes people feel comfortable!

After a brief reading, Lian Zining put away the order and said, "Before coming, did Cheng Yu tell you something?"

Manager Qin quickly said, "I have something to say. My uncle doesn't ask the younger ones, but I want to say it. Before the younger ones came, the eldest lady told her that she would go to Fusang recently."

"Go to Fusang?" Lian Zining said in surprise.

"That's right. The young lady said, "Your Madam, there are so many rare things you transported back. Beijing City and the entire northern part of the country can no longer accommodate them, and the prices of some things have begun to decline. This small one is clear. The young lady now manages several jewelry stores of Lian's family, and there are indeed fewer customers in the store. The young lady said that Fusang people are stupid and have a lot of money. They are like gold and silver, and they are very respectful of the humanities of the Ming Dynasty. They have money and are willing to spend money. These things must be sold there at a price several times higher than that of the Ming Dynasty. We also have a foundation in Fusang, so it is convenient to go there."

When talking about Fusang, Lian Zining remembered the years in Fusang for no reason. That trip to foreign countries can be said to be the biggest turning point in his life, no doubt. If he had not obtained the jade seal of the First Emperor from the Wudao clan, he would have continued to be promoted step by step. Even with the care of Dai Zhangpu and Zhang Yanchang, he would probably have gone far away. Not to mention that he had obtained such a big situation in the Northeast, even if he had an official position, he would have been swaying between the third and fourth ranks.

Fusang, this is a noun that is almost forgotten in my impression. Before I knew it, I have been traveling to Fusang for many years.

Although there is still a force stationed there, and although there is still a city there, every season, gold and silver flow from there like a sea of ​​silver, turning into weapons, weapons, armor, supplies, food and wages, and constantly conveying blood to the Wuyi army.

Fusang scenery, thunder god of standa, white plum blossoms in front of the building, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Eri Nona, and Yagyu Soyan!

All of these seem to have been forgotten!

At this moment, something suddenly flashed through Lian Zining's mind, but it was like lightning, fleeting. He vaguely felt that he had captured a thought that would be of great benefit and help to his future unknown path, but this thought was gone in a blink of an eye. No matter how much he thought about it, he could not think of it!

After frowning and thinking for a long time, Lian Zining finally gave up this plan, but he was not very depressed. At the right time, he would naturally remember it.

He said to Manager Qin: "When you go back, you told Cheng Yu that she was going to Fusang. I won't stop this. However, a girl is away, but she has many inconveniences. Let her bring enough staff. If there is any inconvenience, go to Qinglan. Qinglan has a way. In addition, before leaving, go to the Beijing-nan camp to find Liu Liangchen and ask him for some capable staff. After going to sea, go to Weihaiwei first and ask them to send warships to escort. I will write you a letter later. I still have some friendship with the generals there, and they will not sit idly by."

Manager Qin smiled and said, "I have remembered all the young ones. My uncle and brother-sister love are so deep that it is really enviable."

Lian Zining smiled and waved his hand, suddenly changed the subject and said, "Cheng Yu is going to Fusang, I can't let her go empty-handed. Just so happen that this time I made some money."

He pointed to the "Dizhu Ming" by Taoist Shangu, and asked, "Old Qin, you are an expert, let's see how much is that word worth?"

Manager Qin had been thinking for a long time, and immediately quoted the price and said, "If you find a good buyer in the capital, it will be at least 200,000 taels of silver! If you take it to Nanzhili and Jiangsu and Zhejiang, you will have to add 100,000! If you get it to Fusang and find a famous name that loves calligraphy and painting, it will be 800,000 taels! But I heard that the prince of Sichuan Shu Prince's Mansion is very good at this, especially the word "六子子子子. If this word is sold to him, I don't know how much benefits it will be for you! Then it's not that money can be counted."

"Okay, this is the right thing to say." Lian Zining clapped his hands and cheered: "So you have seen it all, so you can just say it all!"

"Okay, you!" As soon as I said this, the shopkeeper Qin came to his spirit: "The utensils in your house are all high-quality items, and they are all old objects of age. In our industry, these things are all spiritual objects! The prices of these eight paintings and paintings are cut open. We just said that in addition to this one, each of the other seven paintings is not less than 70,000 taels of silver! Look at the things on the multi-guard grid. These ten pieces are all after the pre-Qin period and before the Mongol Yuan. The prices of most of them float between 80,000 and 130,000, and they are not much higher, and they are not as low as this price. As for these three pieces, they are all old objects from the pre-Qin period. They are the three dynasties of the Xia, Shang and Zhou dynasties. This thing can no longer be called antiques, but instead called treasures!"

"Especially this tripod!" Manager Qin walked to the Duobao rack and said with a mouthful: "If we are not blind, we can see that this tripod is the tripod that King Wu Ding of the Shang Dynasty led a five thousand army to conquer his queen Fu Hao and returned to the great victory of the barbarians. Therefore, this tripod is valuable. For the priceless treasure, it is no exception. As for how much it is, it is too small to say."

Lian Zining smiled slightly, pointed to the things in the house, and said with a smile: "This time I won a lot of money in the North, and these things are just a drop in the bucket. More mountain goods, animal skins and other rare treasures, when you go back this time, you will take all these things back. For me, this is a dead thing, and in Chengyu, this thing will live."

Manager Qin quickly responded and said for a while, Manager Qin took his leave. He was the kind of person who had great vision and naturally knew that he shouldn't stay here at this time.

—————————————————

Early the next morning, the caravan's residence was in a boiling state.

The place where they lived was a huge courtyard, and they walked half a mile away from the south gate of Zhenyuan Mansion and turned to the side.

The Zhenyuan Mansion has not been fully planned yet, and there is no one in it. Apart from the army, there are many empty spaces inside. In some areas, houses have been built. This place was originally used as military camps, but later it was re-planned and all the military camps were surrounded by the large campus, so it was naturally vacant, just for these caravans to live in.

At this moment, the yard was already full of people. Although it was early in the morning and it was just dawn, the rooms of each caravan had already lit lights, and the lights were bright and transparent inside and outside. The shopkeepers who came out of each house this time had already gotten up early. The young men who served had already held a wash water and a towel and waited outside the door earlier. He called him in and went in to serve these men to clean their faces and comb their hair and dress neatly. Some of them were more particular, especially those from the shopkeepers from the wealthy places in Jiangnan, who were spraying perfume on themselves and their clothes were all covered with incense for a long time before. At this moment, the big sleeves swayed, and they were rushing to the face.

Those shopkeepers from the north secretly cursed the rouge powder!

However, this is because the customs of the two places are different, but it is not the intentional show-off of these shopkeepers in the south, but the customs of the south are like this. The Six Dynasties are rich and rich, and the folk customs in the late Ming Dynasty were also extremely extravagant.

It is not easy to get these people up so early. On weekdays, they are all old men in their chambers of commerce. They are tall, familiar and have big faces. Even the boss behind them has to respect them. These men sleep late on weekdays and get up even later, and they have to sleep with two or three girls every night. This trip to the Northeast, the girls are gone, and they are bumpy all the way, and they sleep better than anyone else! They don’t see the hard bed crying and the whole body hurts!

The reason why I got up so early was that I came to pass the message last night. Today, at 6 o'clock in the morning of the next generation, I had to call everyone to have a meeting at the General's Mansion, and they had to go there on time.

This was a bit unexpected to everyone. Unexpectedly, Wu Yi Bo was so decisive. They thought this time they would have to be dragged out for three or five days as before. This is quite short. When they encountered the unkind ones, there were also ten or half a month. They had already saved some money to find people and others to make it convenient. Isn’t Lord Hong the last one the best?

But unexpectedly, as soon as I arrived here, I summoned everyone to discuss the matter the next day! I didn’t say it, but I looked at it a few times in my heart.

Of course, I don’t dare to neglect such a big thing, and I just got up early.

It seemed like they had gotten up a little early, so they stood at the gate of the courtyard with their sleeves wrapped around them. In the late autumn of the northeast, the morning wind was trembling, but no one complained that they could finish the errand as soon as possible, so they hurried back. This is what everyone hoped most.

Some of them stood by themselves, while others gathered together three or five, whispering, with a very strange expression.

Everyone was speculating on what methods Wu Yibo used this time.

Anyway, after all, I just took out money from everyone's pockets.

Just after two cups of tea, a team of Wuyi cavalry rushed over. They stopped at the gate of the courtyard and a small flag led by the leader was out of the line. The man was very young, that is, up and down, with sword eyebrows and eyes wide open. He clasped his fists to everyone and shouted: "Everyone, here are Chen Tong, a hundred households of the personal military camp under the seat of Master Bo, and he was ordered by Master Bo to take you to the general's mansion!"

"It's a labor!"

"Thank you, sir!"

...

Everyone thanked each other, and then got on the carriage and followed the cavalry toward the general's mansion.

The sound of horse hooves was so loud that everyone had never come to the newly built city of Zhenyuan Mansion. Although this city was recently in the jurisdiction of the four generals outside the pass and a Liaobei Governor's District, because of its master, can be described in four words: "Thunderous". They peeked out of the car window, and the hundred households smiled and ignored it when they saw it. Anyway, these people saw things that they wanted to see.

But the more people looked, the more shocked they became - on both sides of the street, there were only a piece of foundations, but there was not a single house, let alone the pedestrians on the road, except for them, there was not even a ghost.

After a while, I could see a large-scale house, which was probably the residence of a high-rise figure.

Although I couldn't see anything, I could hear the sounds of shouts and slogans from afar. I don't know how many people's voices gathered together.

This is also natural. In Zhenyuan Mansion, there are soldiers and soldiers. The soldiers lived in the barracks near the colonel. The officers each had their own houses and there was no civilian. What was strange if they could see!

Everyone also experienced the strangeness of Zhenyuan Mansion.

When the convoy passed by a house, a small oil-walled car drove out from the side door of the mansion, followed by two servants and two maids.

The owner of the oil-blocked cart was obviously very polite. She was about to cross the street, but when she saw everyone coming, a soft sound came from the cart. The coachman waved his whip and the best horse stopped. The cart stopped on the side of the road and made way for the passing team.

Seeing the small oil-blocked car, Chen Tong, the leader of the team, had a lit up his eyes. He immediately stepped forward and clasped his fists and said, "Chen Tong has seen Miss Bai."

The oil-blocked car was silent for a moment, and then an elegant and quiet voice came from it: "I have met Lord Chen, the little woman is polite. I am not convenient to meet, please forgive me."

Chen Tong laughed, and a handsome face was full of energy and said, "Where is the girl saying? Chen still has official duties, so he won't bother the girl. I will visit her again in the future."

The white girl said, "Mr. Chen, please be light!"

Chen Tong nodded and continued to move forward.

This scene attracted the attention of many businessmen. They looked at the door of the mansion with interest, and only saw two huge golden characters on the plaque at the door of the mansion: Dong Mansion.

When Chen Tong stopped and called on the merchants to get off the bus, he thoughtfully calculated it secretly, but found that it was almost at the middle of the hour of Mao. He couldn't help but sigh that this Uncle Wu Yi was really talking about it. It can be seen that it is small and big.

Under the guidance of Chen Tong, the merchants entered the mansion. The general's mansion was so strict and the huge majestic scale. The elite and brave soldiers at the door made them breathless. As soon as they stepped into the huge threshold with a knee-high height, the merchants who had seen the world couldn't help but jump and jump and thrust, and they took a lighter step. They felt a little tiptoed, which was a bit funny.

This is a natural awe for the superiors.

After passing through a long corridor with a foot of more than a mile, we came to a side hall, two-story hall, surrounded by hand-papered veranda, and there was a large pond in front of us. The tall and short lotus leaves inside had already withered, and bamboo planted around them. When the wind blew, it rustled, which was quite elegant.

It is also conceivable that it can create the style of the southern country in this northern region.

Chen Tong led everyone across the bridge, opened the door of the hall, and said, "Everyone, please sit down in the hall, uncle will come in a while."

After saying that, they left and everyone entered the side hall. Seeing that the layout here was like an ordinary person’s meeting room, there was a seat at the first place, and the left and right sides of the seat were each equipped with rosewood seats. Obviously, these seats were reserved for them.

Everyone gave in. They were in the same circle, and there were many people in this circle, but they only had a few business positions. In addition, they all knew who was doing bigger business and who was similar to their own business. Whose business ranked last in the hall. So in the end, they sat according to their respective business sizes and status, but the top position, so naturally no one dared to sit in it.

As soon as they sat down, a maid came in to serve tea. After a while, a loud laugh came from outside. Everyone stood up quickly.

He saw two people strode into the hall. The man in front was very young, in his twenties, with broad eyebrows and eyes. He was tall and handsome, wearing a soapy clothes, a cloak on the back, and his hair was tied with a jade hairpin. Although he was very young, he had the majesty that only those who held great power for a long time had. He looked very majestic and had a concise and extraordinary demeanor.

When everyone saw it, they naturally knew that the person in front of them must be the owner of this land, Wu Yi Bo Lian Zining.

He immediately knelt down and said in unison: "I have seen Master!"

Lian Zining smiled slightly, ignored them, walked straight past the crowd, came to the top and sat down, then said, "Get up!"

Everyone started to rush, but saw that there was still someone standing beside Lian Zining, who was actually the manager Qin who was walking with them all the way.

Seeing Manager Qin standing behind Lian Zining, the faces of many people in the hall immediately became a little gloomy - after all, they are from the Lian family, so how can they be unbiased? Judging from this attitude, it must be that this Qin surnamed Qin has eaten meat. We don’t know if we can get a bite of soup to drink!

I even made up my mind that if this time fails, I will never do business in the Northeast in the future.

Lian Zining looked at their expressions and knew the clues, but he didn't name them. He glanced at everyone and smiled slightly, "Everyone, I know the purpose of your visit to the Northeast this time, and you also know it yourself. I am here, so I won't talk nonsense. Let's go straight to the point!"

Everyone quickly pricked up their ears and listened quietly.

Lian Zining knocked on the armrest of the chair and said, "You are here just to buy corn here. The reason why I want to send out the news that everyone comes here is also the purpose of selling corn! Let's buy one and sell the other, which is the most suitable thing."

Lian Zining pointed to Manager Qin who was standing behind him and said:

"This is Lao Qin, I am the manager of the Chamber of Commerce. Along the way, everyone should know his identity. He is the one who I am. I am the one who is my own business. If I do not favor to help with the bank, I am afraid you will feel uncomfortable. I am not wrong with this, right?"

Everyone laughed at Zining, but his heart became heavier and heavier. Looking at this, people were obviously helping each other! Many people cursed in their hearts. Lian Zining was too shameless. At least they were hiding something, and they were still a little afraid. But you were so blatant that you said it out loud?

Are there any of our scholars and officials who are so shameless in the Ming Dynasty?

However, Lian Zining changed the subject and said, "But I helped Lao Qin, but it doesn't mean I won't leave you a way."

After hearing what he said, everyone suddenly felt a glimmer of hope. They looked at him with hope, but they didn't realize that the rhythm of their speech was completely controlled by Lian Zining.

Lian Zining said: "I ordered you not to buy in the roadside fields, so I can only come to Zhenyuan Mansion. I know that many of you must scold me secretly, so don't say anything beautiful, no one believes that nonsense!"

Everyone was a little embarrassed, so naturally no one dared to reveal it. Lian Zining paused and said, "In fact, it is normal to have this idea. If it were me, I would have to curse myself in my heart. But have you ever thought that I am also saving you troubles? If you are at the village, how much manpower will it take to collect corn from one household at a time? When I get to me, I can save all these things and take them away without saying a word!"
Chapter completed!
