When Han Du saw it, he nodded slightly with satisfaction. He raised his hands and pressed them, and said: "I, Han Du, are a merchant who came here from the Ming Dynasty to trade. This time we have brought goods unique to the Ming Empire. I plan to bring them in the evening the day after tomorrow.
, a dinner will be held in the manor to sell these goods, everyone is invited to come and support me, I would like to thank you here first!"
After saying that, Han Du held his hands towards everyone with a smile on his face.
Originally they didn't know what Han Du wanted to do, but after hearing Hard's report, they were all extremely surprised. You know, strong men like Tare had no idea when they traded with them in the past.
After asking their opinions, they all directly drove the goods to the estates of several 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 liked Han Du who was powerful and didn't buy or sell by force. Seeing Han Du's smiling face, people who were originally afraid of Han Du gradually calmed down and nodded in agreement.
, they will definitely come to support me when the time comes.
After letting out the news about the sale of goods, Han Du walked down from the middle position. He returned to Zhu Biao and put the wine glass in his hand to one side of 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 have some 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 Hard 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 name 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 have done a good job in this matter. Everyone is arrogant at first and respectful at the end. Only by relying on the power of the Ming Empire can we do better here."
Han Du and others wanted to leave, so the city lord naturally did not dare to stop him at all. He nodded and agreed, and personally sent Han Du and others outside the gate.
After Han Du and others left, the banquet could not 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, who 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. Since Han Du didn't say anything, Han Du probably wanted to leave the suspense to the banquet the day after tomorrow.
.
Although Zhu Biao was very curious, he still had the determination. It was just a matter of two days, and he could afford to wait.
Since we are hosting a banquet for others, the manor must be decorated. And there are also a lot of chores. We can't let the navy officers do these jobs, right?
So, Handu went to the slave market that day and bought a group of slaves. Among them were several housekeepers who were used to support his dignity.
Hard's manor is small, so one housekeeper is enough to manage it. But Handu's manor is much larger than Hard's. The area of the castle alone is larger than Hard's manor. Moreover, it is still located on the mountain.
It is built on several floors.
If there was only one butler in such a manor, just the distance he had to walk 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 he wanted to decorate the manor and invite others to the banquet, Handu even moved some of the furniture and decorations on the ship to the castle in order to leave an unforgettable impression on those people.
In the midst of Han Du's busy preparations, two days flew by.
When it comes to the banquet scheduled by Han Du
During this time, because Han Du set the location in the manor he just bought. Since this manor is some distance away from the city of Horumos, those who were 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 Horumos City. According to the unspoken rules of upper class society, he should only come after everyone 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 laid on the ground are indeed very beautiful. Before the city lord came here, he had never heard of anyone spreading silk on the ground.
‘These merchants from the Ming Empire are indeed from the land where silk is produced. Even such precious silk can be used to pave the floor.’
Originally, after the city lord took a few glances, he was about to go around to both sides and enter from there. However, he was stopped by the guiding maid, who motioned him to walk on 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 he think that this was not just for seeing, 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 with spreading silk on the ground and stepping on it, there was still a huge gap.
Facing such exquisite silk, the city lord stood there hesitating for a long time, unable to put his foot down. Finally, seeing the number of people behind him getting closer and closer, he bravely 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 with his extensive knowledge. The wood he had seen before was all cut down and then dried.
Once done, it is used to create various tools.
But the wooden frame in front of him was an eye-opener. He could clearly see the clear wooden texture on the wooden frame and knew that it was made of wood. But he did not understand what kind of wood it was.
Will it have such a bright red and shiny surface?
wooden frame surface
The red paint on it made the city lord think it 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 was completely white, and under the light, a transparent halo could be seen.
I raised my 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 has never seen porcelain that is so thin, so transparent and exquisite. But it's just
After just one glance, 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 was called out by the maid several times before he came back to his senses. He followed the slave and continued walking inside. As soon as he entered the door, he saw the porcelain like a treasure. The city lord didn't know that there was something else inside.
What kind of shock awaits him.
Sure enough, the city lord followed the maid in and soon saw a huge picture scroll. It was not that there were no painters in Horumos, but the paintings here were mostly portraits, and there were almost no pictures 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 was obviously just a picture, but it made people feel as if they were 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 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.
Value is.
The city lord followed the servant all the way in and saw things he had never seen before. Although the tables and chairs were strange in shape, they were extremely comfortable to sit on; there were a row of screens, and the hollow wooden frames were stretched with silk.
There are also exquisite pictures embroidered on it.
The entire banquet hall was decorated by Han Du in a complete oriental style, with Ming Dynasty charm and antique atmosphere. Although the city lord was a little uncomfortable with it, 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. Seeing such a strange and charming decoration, everyone was stunned.
