Chapter 277

Nan Baoyi nodded and shook his head.

She didn't want to show her timidity in front of him, so she changed the topic, "I didn't expect that the imperial envoy this time was actually nine thousand years old in Xichang."

"Yes, it's a pretty old lady."

Xiao Yi said something insidiously.

Nan Baoyi choked.

She did mention that her shooting skill was taught by Gu Chongshan in his dream, but she was not an old lady, OK!

What you said, Mr. Quan, is really wrong.

She drooped her eyes and drank some almond tea.

When the banquet was about to begin, she looked around and saw not only governor Xue and prefect Cheng coming to the banquet, but also many big merchants in Shu Prefecture.

In particular, Sichuan brocade merchants, several of whom had business contacts with her family.

She was curious: "the second brother, 9000 years old and of high status, why didn't he see governor Xue and prefect Cheng personally entertain him at his reception banquet?"

"No matter how high I am, I'm just a eunuch. Xue Dingwei and Cheng Taishou don't like it

Nan Baoyi is silent.

Also, although Gu Chongshan was a high-ranking and powerful man, even Cheng would say "nine thousand years old" when he met, but in private, those courtiers often abused him as a rootless eunuch.

She added, "if they don't come to receive them, why are there so many businessmen? Is the imperial court going to deal with our Shu merchants? "

"This time, Gu Chongshan went to Shujun to verify the robbery of the relief silver, but also selected the emperor merchants to be responsible for the supply of Shu Brocade in the capital city every year."

Emperor Shang

Nanbaoyi has bright eyes.

It's good to be an imperial merchant. In addition to getting high-value orders of Shu Brocade from Shengjing every year, you can also get 70% tax exemption!

Moreover, because of their backwardness to the royal family and the rising status of the family, other merchants in the business field not only dare not to default on their goods and debts, but also take the initiative to ask for cooperation!

In the previous life, the Xia family had been an imperial merchant, and later the whole family moved to Shengjing.

If her family can also be a royal businessman, she can not only go to Shengjing City, but also establish a relationship with the royal family, which is very beneficial to the establishment of a bank.

But

She hesitated. "Second brother, why didn't our family receive the invitation? Obviously, our family is the biggest merchant of Shu brocade. "

The voice fell to the ground and a warm greeting came from behind:

"Jiaojiao!"

Nanbao Yi has a bad feeling in her heart.

She looked back slowly.

Her father, dressed in luxury, came over with a smile.

"I was in the porter a few days ago when I ran across an invitation card full of gold and jade." Nanguang sat down with emotion, "I thought, this kind of good thing can't be without me, so I specially came to the banquet on behalf of the family. Don't tell your grandmother that I cut off the invitation secretly, or I will be scolded

He reached for a chicken leg and put it in his mouth This roast chicken is good

He quickly pulled off another chicken leg and put it in the bowl of Nanbao clothes, "Jiaojiao, eat quickly, don't be robbed!"

Nanbao clothes chat.

She looked around.

Those who are sent to dinner by other families are cruel characters in the family.

There are ancestors who have operated Shu Brocade for more than 60 years, masters who are familiar with brocade, and big shopkeepers who are good at running business all over the country

All of them are ready to run for the emperor.

Only their family

She looked at her father with distaste.

Nanguang chewed the chicken leg, and his mouth was full of oil: "Jiaojiao, what do you think I do? Eat it! Such a good banquet can't be eaten anywhere else! Nephew, can you hold it in the sleeve pocket? Put that plate of crabs back, don't waste it

Nanbaoyi really doesn't want to pay attention to him.

She said mildly: "second brother, what is the competition between the emperor and the merchant? The business scale of the family or the delicacy of Shu brocade? "

"Give money."

"Give money?"

"The imperial court allocated a million taels of silver for disaster relief. The old emperor was distressed. When the drought ended, the old emperor was reluctant to continue funding, so he wanted to let the rich businessmen in Shu county pay for it. This time, the number of imperial merchants will fall on the merchant who donates the most money. "

"Nanbaoyi":.... "

Holding a glimmer of hope, she tentatively said, "Dad, when you came in, did anyone ask you to donate money?"

"Do you like it? I'll follow you Nanguang said, "with two taels of silver! Jiaojiao, don't follow your grandmother's extravagance. Let's go out to have a wedding banquet, and we'll have a gift of two taels of silver. It's very good. "

Two liang, silver

Nan Baoyi looks at him gnawing chicken leg without expression, and wants to press his face into the rice basin.

Just at this time, a small eunuch sang loudly:

"the governor arrives -"

GU Chongshan is a eunuch.

Although many people look down on him in private, no one is willing to offend him in person.

In addition to Xiao Yi's high status, others got up to salute one after another.Gu Chongshan occupies a table by himself, and sits in a cool posture.

He was too lazy to say anything about the scene and poured and drank himself as if nobody else was around.

An older eunuch said in a loud voice, "my Lord came here on the order of the emperor to check the case of silver theft for disaster relief and select the emperor merchant of Sichuan brocade. The emperor is grateful for the people's suffering from the drought, and asks all the rich merchants to donate money for disaster relief. Those who donated the most were imperial merchants. To be fair, we will read out the amount of your donation in public. "

The merchants of Shu Brocade in the hall are all nervous.

They don't know how much each other has donated, but undoubtedly, it is the Southern family who are most expected to win the first prize.

How can those families who have to allocate 600000 taels of relief silver every year stand by in the face of the drought?

Nanbaoyi feels the sight from all directions.

Those eyes are full of fear, as if her family is a strong competitor.

Looking at Dad's wolfing posture, Nan Baoyi said he was tired.

"Wang family, 50000 taels of snowflake silver!"

"Li family, 70000 taels of snowflake silver!"

"Zheng family, 100000 taels of snowflake silver!"

With the singing, people's expressions were different.

The least donated is Ge family, 20000 taels of snowflake silver.

The Ge family felt humiliated and their cheeks burned.

Mrs. GE's wife happened to be at the table next to her. She usually had a good relationship with the south family. She reluctantly said with a smile to nanbaoyi: "my husband lost too much money in the gambling house the day before yesterday, so I'm a bit short of money. It's a shame to say The rich and noble family in Baoyi's family will surely become the emperor's merchant at one stroke. "

"Nanbaoyi":.... "

No, her family is not only unable to become an imperial businessman, but also ridiculed by the whole audience.

Twenty thousand taels, ten thousand times as much as her family donated!

She whispered, "second brother, let's go quickly!"

"No way."

Xiao Yi drank watermelon juice slowly.

"Then I'll slip away myself..."

Nanbao is like a thief with cat's waist and his hands drooping like dog's paws on his chest, ready to grease his feet.

Nanguang finally realized that something was wrong and quickly lowered her voice: "Jiaojiao, wait for me!"

"I can't take it. Jiaojiao helps Dad!" he said

In the hall, the old eunuch has read aloud to the last two families:

"Zou family, 200000 taels of snowflake silver!"

"Nanjia, two hundred thousand taels of snow - oh no, twenty thousand taels - Oh, no, two, two?! Well, Nanjia, two or two patterns of silver! "

Two two?!

There was an uproar!

All kinds of eyes fall on the father and daughter of the south family at the same time.

Nanbao clothes, which just slipped out two steps:.... "

In her hand, she also held a whole sweet scented crisp duck that her father gave her.

And Nanguang cat with waist behind her, is holding the whole spiced stewed chicken.
