As Shopkeeper Xu said, the city of Nanjing was bustling, and almost everyone was talking about one topic overnight, and that was the glassware of Nuanxiang Pavilion!
Just last night, a breathtaking drama took place on the banks of the Qinhuai River. The full-length mirror at the end was bought for a high price of 280,000 taels of silver!
As a result, Nuanxiang Pavilion earned one million one million taels of silver in one day. It can be said that the rich and powerful people in Nanjing were shocked by this incident after being amazed by the glassware!
In Nanjing, a land of gold and dust, it is not uncommon to see rich and powerful people with a net worth of millions, but that is also wealth accumulated over generations. Before the advent of glassware, who could have said that one could make millions in one day? Two pieces of silver, you will definitely be regarded as either a madman or a fool!
But this crazy thing is now happening, which makes many people envious and jealous, and also thinking about why the Duke of Wei got such a good thing!
However, given Wei Guogong¡¯s status in Nanjing, no one dared to come to ask what happened, but soon another news shocked the city of Nanjing!
?? Wei Guogong Xu Hongji has been appointed as the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, and the Prime Minister of Nanzhili will investigate the vacancies and military land occupation matters!
Now the nobles in Nanjing couldn't sit still at all, and rushed to the Duke of Wei's Mansion in a swarm. As a result, the Duke of Wei's Mansion closed the door and thanked guests, turning these nobles into headless flies!
Just as those nobles were turning around, a piece of news suddenly spread - the reason why Wei Guogong received such great benefits was because he dedicated all his land and shops to the emperor. Therefore, the emperor not only made Wei Guogong the Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing, , and also rewarded Wei Guogong with half of the shares of the Royal Trading Company. Those glassware are the unique treasures of the Royal Trading Company!
The news was brief, but the amount of information was enough. The distinguished nobles who had already become human beings immediately guessed that this was the little emperor from Beijing buying horse bones for a thousand gold, but they knew clearly that this was a trick used by the little emperor. , but the temptation is so great that people can¡¯t help but want to fall into the trap!
Just when those nobles had not yet figured out how to get the little emperor to buy their own horse bones, another news spread - the emperor was extremely dissatisfied with the nobles of Nanjing, and this time he wanted to force Wei Guogong to buy his own horse bones. Nanjing Xungui has thoroughly cleaned it up. If there are still people who are stubborn, then wait until they are the first!
This is undoubtedly a naked threat. Now there are only two options before the nobles of Nanjing. Either hold on to the benefits of one's own family and wait for the little emperor to confiscate the family and exterminate the family, or hand over those benefits and follow the little emperor to get promoted and make a fortune!
As for other thoughts, the nobles do not dare to have them. They have been raised like pigs for almost ten generations. Not to mention that they have lost their influence in the military. Even if they still have some influence, just compare with those in Nanzhili The difference between the official army and the Guards outside the city is such that I really don¡¯t dare to think about it!
Although the nobles are depressed and entangled, the popularity of glassware in Nanjing continues to rise. If a wealthy family does not have a piece of glassware, it will be shameless.
If a literati has a piece of glassware, it will become the focus of all his peers. Whenever he takes it out to play with like a treasure, he will naturally receive countless envious looks!
Although the girls on the Qinhuai River are not crazy about glassware, a glass mirror is enough to make those girls who are usually gentler than other ladies look like she-wolves!
"It is said that there is a three-foot-square dressing mirror in Yu Xiuniang's painting boat. Yu Xiuniang regards it as a treasure. It is not easy for even sisters who are familiar with it to see it!
There is also a literati poet who writes a poem saying:
The fairy lamp in Yaotai holds nectar,
Fragrant tea wrapped in jade divine craftsmanship.
If you ask, what is a treasure in this world?
The hibiscus shines in the clear water and clear pool.
This poem not only praises those crystal clear glassware as being made by the gods of fairyland, but also says that the glass mirror as clear as a clear pool of clear water also reflects beautiful flowers and couples, so the glass mirror has a very poetic name - Hibiscus. mirror!
Someone else took the lotus mirror as the title and wrote a poem:
If a daughter does not have beautiful appearance,
Don¡¯t see the person in the hibiscus mirror.
At first sight, I am ashamed,
Three see the face of the Flower Tower.
Although these two limericks were just a joke by busybodies, they were instantly popular in Qinhuai. If the girls on the boat did not have a glass mirror next to them, it was tantamount to admitting that they were not good-looking, so they did not even dare to look in the glass mirror. !
Therefore, the girls on the boat couldn't wait to get a glass mirror, so as toIt shows confidence in one's appearance. It is precisely because of this demand that the price of glass mirrors more than tripled in the second day of bidding in Nuanxiang Pavilion!
Although Nuanxiang Pavilion only sold thirty pieces of glassware on this day, the income was still as much as five hundred thousand taels of silver. This made those nobles who were already scratching their heads once again set their sights on Wei Guogong's mansion, but Wei Guogong still Thank you behind closed doors!
So these nobles turned their attention to Li Jinzhong, who came from Beijing to deliver the decree. Although no one paid much attention to this person at first, but now, if the nobles do not understand the importance of Li Jinzhong, they are really pigs. Got it!
But Li Jinzhong lived in the Nanjing Palace, and those nobles had no reason to ask for an audience. As for the Nanjing eunuch Lu Qingping, he only met a few people on the second day after the glassware appeared, and spread some rumors, and never again. Showed up!
Just as the honor of the city of Nanjing was there, there was no way to enter the ground, and when there was no door to the ground, Wei Guo Gong's government suddenly issued an invitation to all Nanjing Xungui. He asked the city to go to the banquet to celebrate the book of Wei Guogong as the Ministry of Military Affairs of Nanjing!
Now the anxious mood of Nanjing nobles finally found an outlet. They immediately prepared generous gifts and rushed to the Duke of Wei's mansion when it was time for the banquet!
This time, the Duke of Wei's government was well prepared. A total of ten banquets were held to entertain more than sixty dignitaries from all over Nanjing, but none of the other officials were invited!
After the banquet started, Wei Guogong Xu Hongji came out to meet everyone with a red face. Accompanying him were the two eunuchs Li Jinzhong and Lu Qingping!
As soon as Xu Hongji came out, he clasped his fists and said with a smile: "I have been favored by His Majesty to be appointed Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing. I have been very busy these days. I finally got some clues. I feel that this matter is not only a reward from Your Majesty to me, but also a reward from Your Majesty. We also value the nobles of Nanjing, so I invite you all to come and have fun together!"
Someone below immediately shouted loudly: "The honorary appointment of the Duke of the State as Minister of the Ministry of War in Nanjing is a great joy for us Nanjing nobles. We congratulate the Duke of the State on his longevity!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????Outside of the crowd!
Xu Hongji smiled and saluted: "I am here today thanks to your majesty's trust and the favor of all my colleagues. But apart from this matter today, Eunuch Li also has something to tell you. Please give me Eunuch Li!"
??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????
Li Jinzhong walked slowly and calmly, walked to Xu Hongji, cupped his fists and said, "Our Li Jinzhong is here to pay tribute to all the princes and uncles!"
Although everyone¡¯s status is far more noble than that of Li Jinzhong, Li Jinzhong is a person close to the emperor, and he controls their destiny this time. Naturally, these nobles did not dare to show off, and returned the favor one after another. The scene seemed quite noisy for a while!
Li Jinzhong pressed his hand and said with a smile: "I am ashamed to accept your kindness. Today I am using the Wei Guogong treasure to meet you. I just want to ask, do you want to be promoted and make a fortune?" (Remember this website address: www.hlnovel.com - Didn't finish reading?
