Nan Baoyi nodded, then shook his head.
She didn¡¯t want to show her timidity in front of him, so she changed the subject, ¡°I didn¡¯t expect that the imperial minister this time was actually nine thousand years old in Xichang.¡±
"Yes, he is actually a charming old sweetheart."
Xiao Yi said something that was neither yin nor yang.
Nan Baoyi choked.
She did mention that Gu Chongshan taught her archery skills in her dream, but he can¡¯t be considered an old prime minister, right?
The words of the powerful minister are really offensive.
She lowered her eyes and drank a few sips of almond tea.
The Fengfeng Banquet was about to begin. She looked around and saw that Governor Xue and Governor Cheng were not coming to the banquet. Instead, she saw many prominent businessmen from Shu County.
Especially the Shu Brocade merchants, several of whom had done business with her family.
She was curious: "Second brother, he is nine thousand years old and has a high status. Why is his reception banquet not hosted by Governor Xue and Governor Cheng personally?"
"No matter how high his status is, he is just an eunuch. Xue Dingwei and Cheng Taishou don't like him."
Nan Baoyi was silent.
??Also, although Gu Chongshan was in a high position and even the prime minister would call him "Nine Thousand Years Old" when meeting him, in private, the courtiers often insulted him as a rootless eunuch.
She added: "It's okay if the two of them don't come to receive us, but why do so many businessmen come? Does the imperial court intend to deal with us Sichuan merchants?"
"This time Gu Chongshan went to Shu County. In addition to verifying the robbery of the disaster relief bank, he also had to select royal merchants to be responsible for the annual supply of Shu Brocade to Shengjing City."
? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? ? Huang Shang
Nan Baoyi¡¯s eyes were sparkling.
Being an imperial merchant is great. In addition to getting high-value Shu brocade orders from Shengjing City every year, you can also avoid 70% of taxes!
?????????????????? And because the family¡¯s status has risen with the support of the royal family, other merchants in the business field not only dare not default on their goods and debts, but will even come to ask for cooperation!
In the previous life, the Xia family had been royal merchants, and later moved their family to Shengjing City.
¡° If her family can also become royal merchants, not only can they go to Shengjing City, but they can also establish relationships with the royal family, which will be very beneficial to opening a bank.
but¡¡
She hesitated, "Second brother, why didn't our family receive the invitation? Our family is obviously the largest Shu Brocade merchant in Shu County."
As soon as the words fell, a warm greeting came from behind:
"Jiaojiao!"
Nan Baoyi had a bad premonition in her heart.
She looked back slowly.
Her father came over wearing luxurious clothes and smiling.
"I was at the concierge a few days ago and I saw someone sending an invitation full of gold and jade." Nan Guang sat down with emotion. "I thought, such a good thing cannot be without me, so I came to the banquet on behalf of the family. You must be the best." Don¡¯t tell your grandmother that I secretly cut off the invitation, otherwise I will be scolded!¡±
He reached out and pulled off a chicken leg and stuffed it into his mouth, "Hmm this roast chicken is good!"
He hurriedly pulled off the other chicken leg and put it in Nan Baoyi's bowl, "Jiaojiao, eat it quickly, don't let anyone snatch it away!"
Nan Baoyi is talking.
She looked around.
Those sent to the banquet by other families are all ruthless figures in the family.
There are ancestors who have been running Sichuan brocade for more than 60 years, there are family members who know brocade well, there are big shopkeepers who are good at doing business all over the country
Everyone is gearing up and planning to run for the position of Huangshang.
Only their home
She looked at her father with disgust.
Nanguang gnawed on the chicken leg which was so delicious that he said with a mouth full of oil: "Jiaojiao, look what I'm doing, eat it quickly! Such a good banquet cannot be eaten anywhere else! Nephew, can you hold it in your sleeve pocket?" ?Put that plate of hairy crabs back, don¡¯t waste it!¡±
Nan Baoyi really didn¡¯t want to talk to him.
She said tactfully: "Second brother, what is the competition for the Huangshang election? The scale of the family's business, or the exquisiteness of Shu Brocade?"
"Donate money."
"Donate money?"
"The imperial court allocated one million taels of silver for disaster relief, and the old emperor felt distressed. He didn't know when the drought would end, and the old emperor was reluctant to continue allocating funds, so he wanted the wealthy businessmen in Shu County to pay for it. This time, the number of imperial businessmen will go to those who donated the most money. On the head of every merchant."
Nan Baoyi: ""
With a glimmer of hope in her arms, she tentatively asked, "Dad, when you came in, was anyone asking you to donate money?"
"Do you want to follow the etiquette? I will go along with it!" Nan Guang ZhenThere is something to say, "Twenty taels of silver are just a gift! Jiaojiao, don't imitate your grandma's lavishness. Let's go out to have a wedding banquet, and just a gift of twenty taels of silver is already a big deal."
??Twenty taels, silver
Nan Baoyi watched him gnawing the chicken legs with a blank expression, wanting to press his face into the rice bowl.
Just at this moment, a little eunuch sang loudly:
"The governor has arrived¡ª¡ª"
Gu Chongshan is an eunuch.
Although many people looked down on him privately, no one was willing to offend him face to face.
Except for Xiao Yi, whose status was high enough, everyone else stood up and saluted.
Gu Chongshan occupied a table by himself and sat with his sleeves fluttering in a cool manner.
He was too lazy to say anything, and poured himself a glass of wine as if no one else was around.
An older eunuch said in a loud voice: "My lord is here on the order of the emperor to investigate the case of theft of disaster relief money and select the Shujin Emperor Merchant. The emperor is grateful for the suffering of the people caused by the drought and asks all wealthy merchants to donate money for the disaster relief." The person who donates the most is the imperial merchant. To show fairness, our family will read out the amount of your donation in public."
All the Shu brocade merchants in the hall looked nervous.
They don¡¯t know how much the other party has donated, but there is no doubt that the Nan family has the best chance of winning the title.
How could a family that allocates 600,000 taels of money for disaster relief every year stand by and watch this time when there is a drought?
Nan Baoyi felt the sights from all directions.
Those eyes were full of fear, as if her family was a strong competitor.
Seeing her father devouring food, Nan Baoyi expressed that she felt very tired.
"The Wang family, fifty thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns!"
"The Li family, seventy thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns!"
"The Zheng family, one hundred thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns!"
With the singing of "Nai", everyone has different expressions.
The Ge family donated the least amount, with 20,000 taels of snowflake silver.
The Ge family felt very embarrassed and their cheeks felt hot.
Mrs. Ge's family happened to be at the next table, and she usually had a good relationship with the Nan family. She forced a smile to Nan Baoyi and said: "My husband lost too much money at the gambling house the day before yesterday, so money is tight. It's really embarrassing to say that Baoyi The family is rich, and this time the Nan family will definitely become an imperial merchant."
Nan Baoyi: ""
No, not only will her family fail to become imperial merchants, but they will also be ridiculed by everyone in the room.
Twenty thousand taels is already ten thousand times what her family donated!
She whispered: "Second brother, let's run away quickly?!"
"Don't slip away."
Xiao Yi drank watermelon juice slowly.
"Then I'll run away"
Nan Baoyi crouched like a thief, with his hands drooped on his chest like dog paws, preparing to apply oil on the soles of his feet.
Nan Guang finally realized something was wrong and quickly lowered his voice: "Jiaojiao, wait for me!"
Speaking, picked up the osmanthus crisadic duck and Wuxiang braised chicken, "I can't get it, Jiaojiao helps Dad!"
????????????????????The old eunuch has already read loudly to the last two families:
"The Zou family, two hundred thousand taels of silver with snowflake patterns!"
"The Nan family, two hundred thousand taels of snowflakes - oh no, twenty thousand taels - oh no, two taels, two taels?! Well, the Nan family, two taels of silver!"
Two taels? !
The whole place was in an uproar!
Various eyes fell on the Nan family father and daughter at the same time.
Nan Baoyi, who had just slipped out two steps: ""
In her hand, she was holding a whole sweet-scented osmanthus puff pastry duck that her father had given her.
And Nanguang Mao followed her with her waist bent, holding a whole five-spice braised chicken.
