The Son of Heaven called the name to see the new Dengdi Jinshi, which was called a roll call.

Therefore, it is undoubtedly taboo to let people roll call.

However, at present, the Ming Dynasty has always been unaccountable for this kind of taboo, even if someone is full of food and shouts "The prince will have a kind of Xiangning, eat his mother, wear his mother or something" is not in the way.

As long as you don't really want to eat, then be happy.

This is also the reason why the Wanli Dynasty was the most open era of civilization in history.

One word in a thousand words - loose!

Moreover, if you really think about it, Gonggong Wei is also a messenger, a person who works on behalf of the Son of Heaven, and he called all the merchants to roll their names in the past.

In fact, the doubts of the businessmen about the roll call are not because they are taboo, but because they are empty-handed.

You must know that folk red and white ceremonies are now popular roll calls, shouting that the old man came to mourn, and the minister came to congratulate the gift, the louder the tone shouted, the more it represents the status of the visitor, and also represents the value of the gift brought by the visitor.

So, is Grandpa Wei hinting at the big guy giving gifts?

The merchants have strange faces, this is possible, the eunuch is greedy for money and profit, and the world knows that this little eunuch surnamed Wei can get out of the sludge without being stained.

But like this, accepting gifts in public is too unlevel. But when they thought of this little eunuch openly instructing the officers and soldiers to seal the river and detain the boat, everyone had nothing to say.

If you really want to spend money to buy peace, just spend money, anyway, the big guy is also ready to bleed this time, but I don't know how much this little eunuch and everyone will have to release the boat.

Father-in-law Wei was wronged, he didn't think about receiving gifts at all, but really wanted to meet these businessmen in Jiangbei. You must know that the first order of the opening of the Wei Gong Maritime Special Zone was pinned on them.

This Beigu Mountain banquet is to some extent his father-in-law Wei is attracting investment. The difference is only that the others go out to solicit customers with a smile on their faces, and he is trying to force people to come in a different way.

But no matter what, his father-in-law Wei is also in a very positive posture now, and an approachable image can't run. Otherwise, it is not a matter to keep a tight face, make a murderous spirit, and scare people for a while.

"Godfather, you always sit, the child is on roll call!"

Zhao Baole was full of sneers, treating his godfather is really closer than treating his own father.

Gonggong Wei was relieved to see Lao Huai, and pondered that when he wanted to borrow someone's head in the future, Baole Wu'er would still put it back, not in vain to blind this father-son relationship.

"Silence!"

Zhao Baole held the roster, took three steps forward in five and six, and then looked around at the businessmen, and did not forget to owe his godfather a debt before the roll call.

"Now the roll call begins, and the people who call it shout yes, raise your hand, so that your father-in-law can see it!" As soon as Zhao Baole said the rules, he read the first one: "Zhenjiang Tianfeng Goods Company Hu Dabao!" ”

"In!"

Someone raised his hand in the crowd, and Grandpa Wei looked over and saw that it was an old man, but he looked very shrewd, and the goat's whiskers were quite conspicuous.

Intelligence shows that this Hu Shihai is one of the main affairs of the Hu family in Zhenjiang, and the Hu family has been doing porcelain trading since the Yongle period settled in Zhenjiang, and the business is very large, and there is a special porcelain kiln in Jiangxi. It has close ties with Fujian and Zhejiang maritime merchants, and the porcelain it transports can account for about 20% of the porcelain business, and it is a large household that does not deduct or deduct.

It is rumored that there are four richest people in Nanzhili, namely the Zou family in Suzhou, the Cha family in Haining, the Ruan family in Anqing, and the Hu family in Zhenjiang.

Whether it's true or not, to be investigated.

However, this Zhenjiang Hu family can't run away if they have money.

Gonggong Wei closed his head slightly, and Zhao Baole continued to read the next one: "Zhao Hengyou, Taizhou Zhao Ji Shop!" ”

"In!"

A middle-aged man raised his hand to signal, he didn't look like a businessman, but like a runner, with a strong energy.

Zhao Ji shop is also the largest merchant in this banquet, Taizhou now belongs to Yangzhou capital, Zhao family is the largest cotton cloth and silk dealer in Yangzhou.

Gonggong Wei snorted slightly, and Zhao Baole continued to read the list.

"Huai'an Jingsheng Zhou Tai Fook, Dantu Wan'an Commercial Bank You Zhengquan, Jintan Zhao Xin'an, Jiangdu Qian Heng...."

After the merchants were named one after another, they raised their hands one after another to indicate that they were all doing business in Jiangbei.

At the beginning, Grandpa Wei still looked at them one by one, either nodding approvingly or smiling, but the further he went, he didn't care about too many facial expressions, but always maintained a faint smile.

It wasn't until he saw an acquaintance that Gonggong Wei perked up and beckoned to the man. This person is Zhao Shengjie, the proprietor of Yangzhou goods who once called Wei Gonggong and Tian Ergeng to be scared in the Jinghai County prison.

Since the fall of Li Sancai, the governor of Caoyun has changed people, and once a son of heaven and a courtier, Zhao Shengjie's Yangzhou goods business has been a little difficult to do. However, his family's business has always been lucky, and it has nothing to do with sea trade, so it stands to reason that there is no need to come to Beigushan, but it was Gonggong Wei who specially asked someone to invite him.

Because, Zhao Baole, a green skin, can still contact too few wealthy businessmen, and most of the small and medium-sized households invited this time are invited. And if you want to know the situation of those big households, you have to point to this Zhao Dongzhu.

"Zhao Shengjie has seen Grandpa Wei!"

No matter what he thought in his heart, Zhao Shengjie was extremely respectful to Gonggong Wei. He was really afraid of this bold little eunuch, who was in Tianjin that day, if he hadn't begged for mercy quickly, he would have been dressed as an iron rod.

It was also because he was afraid that he came obediently, otherwise God knows if this little eunuch would bring a brocade guard to his house.

"Zhao Dongzhu is exempt." Grandpa Wei smiled, "This time, we specially invited you to come over, just to ask you Zhao Dongzhu to help us." ”

"Don't dare, but my father-in-law commanded, Zhao is duty-bound!" Zhao Shengjie secretly scolded this little eunuch for most likely coming to beat him in the autumn wind.

"Good, good."

Gonggong Wei was not in a hurry to say something, and motioned to Zhao Shengjie to wait a while, and let Gan'er Baole continue to sing. After singing about 20 more people, I finally finished reading the list.

"You are all traders in this riverside mansion, we brought you here, what is the purpose of this, let's not talk about it more, right?"

As he spoke, Gonggong Wei kept turning the two walnuts in his hand.

Originally, I wanted to play with two iron balls, but it was too heavy, too big, and troublesome to turn, so I just walnut will be enough.

Everyone was silent, didn't you dog eunuch invite us here to scrape our ground?

Seeing that everyone was silent, he didn't speak, raised his hand to signal, and Sanada hugged a bamboo basket and walked to the front of the crowd to put it down.

The baskets are all iron medals, and the front of the plaque is engraved with the words "Admiral Maritime Yamen Special Permission".

Everyone was confused, and they didn't know what Eunuch Wei meant by asking someone to make this basket brand.

"Let's not talk nonsense, from now on, if you still want to do business at sea, you can! But we have to go to our special maritime zone to do it, which can be regarded as a favor for us. ”

After speaking, Gonggong Wei pointed to the bamboo basket, "The cards in this basket, one by one, are willing to help us get the cards to Baole to make a record, if you don't want to, please go down the mountain." In the future, if you have a card, you can go to the goods, and you can't go without a license. We're done, is there any objection? ”
