【Chapter 450】Push you down, ravage you, see what you pretend to be!
Xu Xingxia said slowly: "The specific situation is analyzed on a case-by-case basis. The basic principle is that as long as there are people who are willing to do business with us, we welcome them. Money or something can also be returned as appropriate. As for continuing to hate us, then, I'm sorry, I have to ask them to get out. ”
If there is Xu Xingxia, the Economic Department will naturally not be polite. They quickly posted relevant notices and released Xu Xingxia's words. As a result, there are many businessmen who are beginning to be moved. For businessmen, as long as there is profit, they have the positive surname to act. If this profit exceeds a certain amount, they dare to take risks.
The ban of the imperial court is actually nothing. Which one can call the wind and rain in the mall without the support of officials behind it? And the ban of the imperial court relied precisely on these officials to enforce it. As long as they turn a blind eye, everything can be easily covered up. For all this, officials at all levels are also familiar with the road, and there is no need for guidance at all. The key to all this is whether the businessmen are worth it.
In fact, without Ningxia Town, the losses of the Jin merchants were actually very large. The original market in Ningxia Town was almost monopolized by the Jin merchants, and the profits earned every year were really a lot. As we all know, the profits of the monopoly market have always been the highest. Especially a businessman like Sun Dakun, who has invested a lot of money in Ningxia Town, and now that there is no such market all of a sudden, it will definitely be fatal for their Sun family. If there is a chance to reverse such a fate, of course they have to seize it, and they will not dare to let go easily.
Later studies have shown that some Jin merchants, for the sake of profit, even privately sold contraband to Houjin wild boar skins. Many of the weapons and equipment of the Houjin wild boar skin were obtained through tortuous ways. Even a place so far away from the wild boar skin, the Jin merchants dared to make up their minds, let alone others. Xu Xingxia's current identity is indeed a thief. However, who can guarantee that he will not be recruited by the imperial court in the next moment? Since the imperial court can't beat it, it must be recruited. If Xu Xingxia agrees to Zhao'an, it will be another family.
So, after the notice was posted, gradually some Jin merchants sent their powerful people to quietly contact the Economic Department and test the tone of the Economic Division. Naturally, the people in the Economic Department did not refuse to come and talked eloquently. Subsequently, the two sides began a lengthy process of bargaining. Obviously, this process cannot be achieved overnight. And at this time, Xu Xingxia also had time to visit Zizhuyuan.
…… The house where the Lin family originally lived was located in the southwest of Ningxia City, called Zizhuyuan. It is said that a lot of purple bamboo is planted in the house, but I don't know if it's true or not. Purple bamboo, at that time, was the meaning of wealth and longevity, and many powerful families planted it. The Lin family planted purple bamboo, which is not very special. It's a pity that Xu Xingxia didn't see it with his own eyes.
In fact, Xu Xingxia had already come to Zizhuyuan last time, and together with Wang Qinian, he searched for the hidden treasures left by the Lin family. As a result, there is a lot to gain. The two or three hundred thousand taels of gold and silver left by the Lin family were all looted by the white-clothed army. For the Lin family, this must be a big blow. Two or three hundred thousand taels of silver, it's not so easy to earn! No wonder Lin Feirong took the risk to chase after Baihuze and asked Xu Xingxia to get these assets back.
The last time Xu Xingxia came to Zizhuyuan, there were white-clothed soldiers on guard all around, and none of the people of the Lin family saw it. When they arrived this time, there were not many white-clothed soldiers accompanying them, and the people of the Lin family were also waiting outside early. Maybe it's because the Lin family doesn't hire many people, or maybe they don't want to shine too much, at the gate of Zizhu Garden, there are only Lin Feirong and four other family members, and this kind of welcome ceremony is relatively simple.
Of course, Xu Xingxia won't mind this. According to his real surname, the fewer people the better! Being polite with a large group of people, in fact, there is no meaning, and it is too tired. The outside of Zizhu Garden is quite quiet, with a large open space separated from the hustle and bustle of the city. These open spaces are a symbol of strength. It would rather be left empty as a separation zone than used to build a house. Proper waste is itself a manifestation of luxury.
There is no need to report, Lin Feirong has already learned that Xu Xingxia has arrived. The commissioner is dispatched, how could she not know? Lin Feirong is rarely dressed casually, not as restrained as before, and she does not deliberately hide her figure. The weather in July, the autumn tigers are raging, and there is still a bit of a heat wave. Lin Feirong's body is also refreshing.
This eldest lady of the Lin family, born with a goose egg face, two willow eyebrows, a pair of eyes, is as clear as Qiu Bo, the nose is not high or low, as if it is made of jade, the cherry mouth is small, not enough an inch, the skin on the face, white and red, red and white, extremely moist, blown, a few sparse bangs on the forehead, the more infinite the style, it turned out to be a good strong man. He has black green silk hair, combed with a smooth braid, and a flower is inserted at the root of the braid.
She wore a light red Chunluo cotton jacket on her upper body, a dark silk skirt on her lower body, and a pair of delicate little feet under the skirt, not big or small, about four inches long, sharp and thin, very cute. Wearing snow-white socks, red satin embroidered shoes, walking, waist slender, enchanting steps, and makeup Yajie, it is really worthy of the four words of beauty and sweetness. Her dress at home seems to be purer and more approachable than outside.
Lin Feirong had a rare smile like a flower, and said with a pink face: "I thought that adults had never been free, but I didn't expect to come so soon." The little woman is not well prepared, please forgive me. The weather outside is hot, the sun is poisonous, and the sun is damaging the adults, but the little woman can't afford it, please go inside! Chilled sour plum soup has been prepared in it to relieve the heat for adults! Please! ”
Xu Xingxia smiled deliberately and said meaningfully: "The beauty invites, even if you are not free, you must come, how can you live up to the kindness of the beauty?" lived up to the kindness of the beauty, it was to thunder and thunder. I'm still young, I don't want to die yet! I had to come in a hurry! If you surprise the beauty, please forgive me, I will definitely pay attention next time! ”
These words were deliberately stimulated by Lin Feirong. I don't know why, Xu Xingxia actually doesn't have a good impression of this eldest lady of the Lin family. There is even a faint disgust. If the two parties are not interested, he is too lazy to deal with her. Because, from Lin Feirong's eyes, he could feel that this eldest lady didn't seem to be very cold to herself. If it weren't for the situation, it is estimated that she would not have taken the initiative to cooperate with herself.
Alas, speaking of which, it is also said that the people who pursue her, whether it is the son of the governor or the son of the chief military officer, seem to throw themselves a few streets away in terms of speech, erudition, grace, and understanding. As for appearance, it seems to be a lot more than himself. A rich lady like Lin Feirong, considering the eyes of the object, is naturally also a rich son, how can she consider a person from a poor military family? It's nice to be able to look at you twice. Perhaps, she is secretly laughing at herself now!
Lin Feirong seems to have long been accustomed to Xu Xingxia's slightly provocative words. She has a look, a figure, and a family background, and of course there are many men who try to beat her mind. Among them, there must be those who spit out frivolous words, and it has long been strange. There was no change on her face, and she said casually: "My lord said that I was laughing, where can I be considered a beauty?" The three beauties of the grassland are the real beauties! The adult has now hugged a beauty, I don't know when the other two will be brought back? ”
Xu Xingxia smiled and didn't say anything. This eldest lady of the Lin family is quite powerful, and she secretly sarcastically mocked her lust. However, she did remind him that for the great national integration, he had to find a way to snatch Namu Zhong and Wuyunna over. I just don't know, where are they now? Is it easy to get hands-on? Ahem, if you continue to do this kind of thing, I'm afraid that the people below will follow suit.
Under the guidance of Lin Feirong, Xu Xingxia entered the hall of the Lin family and sat down casually. In the last battle, Zizhuyuan was not very damaged, and the furniture decoration was not missing. After the Lin family moved back, they reorganized it, but it also looked delicate and elegant. After all, it is two women in charge, and the decoration is too complicated, which is easy to make people sad.
Xu Xingxia sat down and said straight to the point: "Is the glass business okay?" ”
Lin Feirong said with a smile: "I just got rid of 50,000 taels, and in a few days, I can still get rid of 50,000 taels." ”
Xu Xingxia nodded, looked around, and didn't see Mrs. Lin, so he said casually: "The beginning is good, as long as you keep it in the future." ”
Lin Feirong said softly: "If the adult is not a thief, the business is only better." ”
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, and said lightly: "If I am not a thief, the glass business, I am afraid that it will not be your turn to be the Lin family." ”
Lin Feirong was slightly speechless, and finally said: "My lord, I was wrong, please forgive me." ”
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly and did not speak. This eldest lady of the Lin family can also shrink and stretch, and when she understands that she said the wrong thing, she apologizes bluntly, instead of looking for other topics to cover up. Xu Xingxia's original evil feelings towards her disappeared a little. Alas, everyone is from different backgrounds and different social classes, and it is indeed too reluctant for you to ask others to accept you all at once. The legend of Cinderella has always been a legend, not a reality.
Of course, Xu Xingxia was not wrong. If he wasn't a thief, the glass business would have been monopolized by Liu Zhiqiang long ago. Liu Zhiqiang has the support of Li Maohui, the governor of Ningxia, behind him, how can the Lin family compete? Even with the help of King Qingfu, they couldn't grab the glass business. To put it seriously, with Li Maohui obstructing it, he Xu Xingxia and the Lin family may not have a chance to meet in their lives.
"Smack!"
"Smack!"
Xu Xingxia clapped his hands, called a chaser officer in, and whispered a few words. The officer quickly turned and went out, and then came in with a group of soldiers, carrying two large baskets. The inside of these baskets is wrapped with thick straw. On the inside of the straw, there are some white marks exposed. From the outside, it should be porcelain. Xu Xingxia waved his hand, and the officers and soldiers carefully placed the basket on the ground and withdrew collectively.
"These porcelains are white marble porcelain." Xu Xingxia said casually.
After a few months of exploration, Xu Fuqing and the others finally smashed out the bone china. There is no secret to the firing of bone china, you only need to know the proportion of raw materials. As for the details, the craftsmen will naturally try to figure it out. It's a pity that Xu Xingxia was not very satisfied with the previous batches of bone china samples and smashed them. Now he has taken out the sixth batch of samples. Basically, it's barely passing.
"Really?" Lin Feirong came up curiously, picked up the white marble porcelain, and examined it carefully. Obviously, she will not hide her feelings in her own home, or she feels that in front of Xu Xingxia, she does not need to hide her joys, sorrows, and sorrows. After observing the white marble porcelain for a while, the look on her face had clearly told Xu Xingxia: The white marble porcelain you said is nothing more than that! It's nowhere near as good as glass!
Xu Xingxia's bone china, which belongs to the first generation of products, will certainly not be very good. Especially compared to other high-end porcelain, it has not yet qualified for the competition. The porcelain of the Ming Dynasty has developed to a very peak level, and high-end porcelain is very valuable. Among them, there are two kinds of blue and white porcelain and thin porcelain, which are the most precious. The tributes used by the royal family are basically blue and white porcelain. And many of the decorations of the powerful are thin porcelain.
Although bone china has some characteristics and belongs to a new variety of porcelain, it is still somewhat deficient compared with high-end porcelain such as blue and white porcelain and thin porcelain. It's not that bone china is bad, but that Xu Fuqing's firing technology is not up to par and has not yet reached the highest level. Compared with blue and white porcelain and thin porcelain, the highest-end bone china is certainly not much inferior.
Lin Feirong put down the white marble porcelain and said a little disappointed: "These can only be sold as ordinary porcelain!" Isn't there anything better? ”
Xu Xingxia said: "Of course there is. I need time to figure it out, though. ”
Lin Feirong frowned and said, "When will the best samples come out?" ”
Xu Xingxia smiled slightly, did not respond positively, but staggered the topic and said, "Is your mother at home?" I have a personal matter and want to talk to your mother in person. ”
Lin Feirong said embarrassedly: "My mother has just arrived home, her body is a little tired, she needs bed rest, and she can't greet adults, so I ask you to forgive me." ”
Xu Xingxia said a little disappointed: "I see, it's a pity ......"
While talking, suddenly there was a bead curtain sound next to them, and the two turned their heads to look and found that it was Mrs. Lin who came out. This was the first time Xu Xingxia saw Mrs. Lin. This beauty, who has been behind the military household in Ningxia Town, I don't know how many times she has been in Yiyin, finally appeared alive in front of him Xu Xingxia. Her appearance was obviously a bit abrupt. And, it can be seen, she also dressed herself carefully. However, Xu Xingxia did not feel very excited.
Well, how to say it? Mrs. Lin is indeed beautiful. Beautiful, beautiful, glamorous, beautiful, fragrant, graceful and luxurious...... These words, falling on her, are no problem at all. In fact, she fully deserves such a word. Among the women Xu Xingxia has met, if you want to say that she has a mature and noble temperament, she is definitely in the first place. Zhu Zhizhi is still a little worse in terms of maturity and beauty.
She was wearing a black high-necked sleeveless long skirt, with a pink neck around a circle of black fabric, extending down the shape of her chest, and the towering and full ** raised the black elastic cloth high, with two bumps at the top. Her crisp breasts are really full, which is much better than her daughter's. The smooth back and shoulders are connected to the soft willow-like arms exposed, the slit of the skirt has extended to the waist, revealing the snow-white slender thighs, and the round and plump buttocks are upturned at an incredible angle, forming a ** curve with the slender willow waist...... Such a costume can only be seen in the family of a merchant. At that time, the social atmosphere was that men and women were not close to each other, and female surnames were confined to a narrow space, and there was no opportunity to show themselves at all. Only merchants, due to the need to do business, need to deal with people frequently, their attire will be slightly more open. It seems that Mrs. Lin's outfit, to be honest, was already relatively open at that time. If it is seen by a literati doctor, it may be accused of shamelessness and insult.
"I couldn't go out to greet Lord Xu, the concubine is really rude, and I ask your lord to forgive me." Mrs. Lin said softly. Her voice is still as good as ever, giving people a feeling of bathing in the spring breeze and drinking nectar. Especially in this hot season, it is as cool as drinking snow water to hear her voice. Faintly, it seemed to be an itch somewhere on the body, and she gently scratched it, and it was boundlessly comfortable.
With a gentle smile, Mrs. Lin sat down in front of Xu Xingxia, revealing her surname more and more. This is really rare for a woman in the Ming Dynasty! At that time, there were very few women who could read. Xu Xingxia is sure that Mrs. Lin must be the kind of lady who reads poetry and books to form such a special temperament. If she wasn't a daughter, she would only be afraid of the high school imperial examination and enter the cabinet to worship the prime minister, which is possible.
It's just that faintly, Xu Xingxia has a weird feeling, as if Mrs. Lin still doesn't agree with her eyes when she looks at her. It is estimated that because her husband used to be a Jinshi, he has read poetry and books and is very educated. She is a Qiu Ba, and she started by relying on rebellion, and she only knows how to fight and kill all day long, and it is normal for her to look down on herself.
Of course, such a feeling made Xu Xingxia very unhappy. If others don't like him, he doesn't like others. Etiquette is still exchanged, why do you want him to please the other party? His gaze inadvertently fell on Mrs. Lin's plump breasts, and he couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought in his mind. Paralyzed, you can't get used to Lao Tzu! Lao Tzu wants to push you down and ravage you! Let you give Lao Tzu a bunch of dolls again! Look you still despise Lao Tzu! When the time comes, let you and your daughter together, beg for joy under Lao Tzu, and see that you are still pretending to be tall!
