Why did Song Shan take the initiative to talk to Tan Qing? It was because he saw that these people were very popular. Especially although he was talking to Tan Qing, his eyes never left the leader. This person gave him a very special feeling.
In particular, although this person was wearing a rather tacky brocade robe, and his whole body was full of the smell of money. However, 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 must have extraordinary background.
Businessmen like Song Shan understand the principle of having multiple friends and multiple paths. You don't even need to be friends with the other person. Even if you just meet him 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 hadn't been 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. He turned back to Tan Qing and explained with a smile: "It seems that the shopkeeper has not heard of this place."
A specialty, right? Since you have never heard of this place’s specialty, it’s a bit strange to come here directly to do business.”
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 not. If it was false, it would be fine. If it was true, then these people might not be ordinary people. Each of these three big ships has at least hundreds of boatmen. Why stop here?
It will take about ten days, and the consumption during this period is not a small amount. Although a small maritime businessman like Song Shan 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 not, Song Shan would treat what the other party said as true. With the idea of forging a good relationship with the other party, he deliberately said: "So that the shopkeeper will know that Governor Jiang is a great person.
Originally, there was nothing special about Jeolla Province. There was not even Korean ginseng or leather goods, and no ship owner was willing to come. But since Governor Jiang came, he somehow got a way with the merchants of the Japanese country and made a fortune.
There are a large number of Japanese knives, Japanese fans and other specialties. The maritime merchants who come to the Jeolla Province Governor's Palace now are all here for these Japanese specialties."
When Han Du heard this, he immediately understood why this place was so prosperous. Japanese knives and fans were used in the Tang Dynasty along with the
When the Tang Dynasty envoys entered the Central Plains, they were loved by dignitaries. As a result, these things were valuable in the Central Plains and have always been the favorite goods of merchants.
Hearing that Jiang Wei actually had contacts with Japanese merchants, Han Du was suddenly moved. Without bothering to chat with Song Shan, Han Du jumped in front of Tan Qing and said, "Thank you Captain Song for letting me know. I happen to be very interested in Japanese specialties."
Interested, but don’t know where to buy it?”
Seeing Han Du being so polite, Song Shan was 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-general."
"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 primary school guard guarding the gate 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 he was a general.
Although the principal didn't know why the Marquis was wearing a brocade robe that businessmen like 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 was a secret code among the navy, which meant 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, lining up like other businessmen. When he reached the small 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 took one look at Han Du and others and then took it back.
Without paying too much attention, this kind of situation is simply too common in the Governor's Mansion. Some of them broke the rules of the Governor's Mansion and were invited to drink tea by the soldiers; some were invited by the Governor's Mansion.
Being invited over.
Anyway, there are good and bad aspects to this situation. At the beginning, some people were curious that these were criminals and the guests of the Governor. However, after seeing too many people, 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 courtyard, 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 go in by myself. 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 that the principal wanted to say something else, he interrupted him directly, "You have become 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 have misunderstood me." The colonel wanted to explain, but when he saw Tan Qing's eyes glaring, he ran away in despair.
"This bastard used to be a clean and tidy person under the general's command, but now I don't know why he became like this." Tan Qing complained, and then stretched out his hand to signal, "Please, Lord Marquis."
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. They just waited until Han came forward, cupped his fists and asked
Said: "May I ask who is coming?"
"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 men immediately knelt down and said, "My dear, my greetings to the Marquis."
Han Du raised his hand and said softly: "Get up and tell Jiang Wei that I am here."
"Yes." The two of them 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 running out of the inner room in a hurry. When he saw Han Du, he immediately treated him respectfully.
He bowed and said: "The students are meeting the sir. The sir will not inform the students in advance when he comes. It is better for the students to go and greet the sir."
Han Du waved his hand unceremoniously and asked the soldiers to retreat. Then he smiled and said to Jiang Wei: "No need to do it, I'm here in secret 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 out.
When the maid came in, she immediately 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. Master Jiang is really blessed."
Jiang Wei was not a childish boy. He had already married a wife and had children in the Ming Dynasty. Now his sons are in their teens. He didn't pay attention to Tan Qing's teasing, but said with a smile: "The reputation of Silla's maid, that's
It was spread all over the world in the Tang Dynasty. Such maids are not uncommon here. If the general is interested, he can spend some money and bring them 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're not telling us lies, are you?" Tan Qing didn't believe it. If the maid here just now had an ordinary appearance, wouldn't this place be a happy home for a bachelor like him?
However, although Tan Qing did not read much, he had heard of the reputation of Silla Maid. He also felt that Jiang Wei might not have lied to him. Otherwise, if there was no such fact, Silla Maid would not have been mentioned in history.
It left such a profound mark on it.
Thinking that such a maid could be bought with money, Tan Qing's heart felt hot.
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. From the fact that his husband came secretly, he knew that he must have something important to do with him. He quickly cheered up and bowed his body slightly towards Han Du, "Sir, please give me your instructions."
