Originally, Wang Xian didn't have anything to do during the busy year, and his only task was to be locked in the study to endorse the book, but who knew that the people who came to visit and deliver New Year's goods were almost endless......

The first to come was Wang Gui's father-in-law, who came to see his in-laws, but mainly on behalf of the Fuyang Tea Chamber of Commerce, to give Wang Xian some New Year's gifts.

At the end of the year, Wang Xingye was even busier than home, so he had to entertain Hou Xian, and specially called a banquet from Zuiyue Lou to have a drink with him.

Hou Yuanwai is now the vice president of the Fuyang Tea Chamber of Commerce...... One of them, but also got a lot of benefits, the tea is not worried about sales, and I also ate a few pieces of good tea gardens. What makes him even happier is the rise in status. Originally, the Hou family was just a handful of wealthy families in Fuyang, but now he has become a squire with a head and a face, and whoever sees it has to call President Hou, and that kind of pride can't be bought by any amount of money.

All of this was brought to him by Wang Xian, not to mention drinking water and thinking of the source, in short, he was grateful, in addition to the gifts from the Chamber of Commerce, he also prepared a thick New Year's gift to thank him......

Although he didn't read what was written on the gift list, Wang Xian saw that he used twenty of the guys who picked up the gift, so he knew everything. The smile became more and more cordial, and the tone became more kind: "I should have gone to see the old man, it is really a sin to let the old man come in person." ”

"Your Excellency will see you when you say so," Hou Yuanwai said with a bright smile: "If you go back to the county, you will definitely be alarmed, and it is appropriate to come over with old decay." ”

"Let an uncle come."

"Lord Zhilu Dao doesn't want to see them, how can the old man add to the blockage of the adult during the New Year?" Hou Yuanwai said with a smile.

"What the old man said, how can I be so atmospheric?" Wang Xian shook his head and smiled: "The past has long passed, invite them to come for the New Year, and I will invite them to drink." ”

"That's a good feeling, sure enough, there are a lot of adults, and I'm a villain." Hou Yuanwai said happily, he knew that this was Wang Xian giving him face.

After drinking, Wang Xian sent the Hou Yuan to the dock, watched him get on the boat before returning home, and saw the old lady blooming.

Wang Xian couldn't help but sigh secretly, the old lady was so open-eyed when she saw the money, but when she picked up the gift sheet and looked at it, she was indeed taken aback. I saw that the Hou sent 20 pairs of chickens and ducks, 100 catties of fresh pork, 50 catties of beef and mutton, 20 catties of anchovy, 20 saury, and 20 catties of yellow croaker, and 100 catties of miscellaneous fish...... There are also 20 catties of dried vegetables and dried fruits

These are worth almost a hundred taels of silver, and Lao Hou is really bloody. However, compared to the New Year's gift sent by the Tea Industry Chamber of Commerce, it is a big deal. The number of annual gifts of the Chamber of Commerce is not much, but everything is worth 50 pairs of large prawns, 50 abalones, 20 catties of sea cucumbers, 10 pairs of shark fins, 5 pairs of bear's paws, 20 deer tongues, two pockets of hazel, pine, and almonds

"My good son," said the old lady with a smile from ear to ear, "why are those guys you training so ...... Thanksgiving? ”

"Hehe, this is the ability...... Wang Xian smiled and vaguely past, how can it be so simple, the so-called things have a reason, they naturally have something to ask for.

More exaggeration is yet to come.

The next day, Li Yuanwai, the president of the Silk Industry Chamber of Commerce, and his nephew ...... The rich and handsome Li Yu Li Xiucai also came to visit Wang's house, and the New Year's gifts were not much, only two cars of high-quality silk, but the attitude of the uncle and nephew was extremely respectful, and the whole meeting has been introspective, especially Li Yuanwai, who scolded himself so much that he was squirming blood, and said that the ghost was obsessed with you, and I woke up now, I really want to strangle myself......

"Let the past pass." used to be a big dog on the top, and Wang Xian was really a little ...... talking to himself so humbly In addition to being cool, he also made a full gesture, and said magnanimously: "I only realized when I left Fuyang, it turns out that we are all fathers and villagers who break bones and tendons, what's the point of fighting in our nests?" We should join forces to fight the world and break out of the world in the Ming Dynasty."

"Yes, yes," Li Yuanwai nodded again and again: "Before, we were indeed sitting in the well and watching the sky, and there was nowhere else in our eyes except Fuyang, it was the adults who formed the Chamber of Commerce, so that we began to look at the world, only to find that we were really narrow-minded and must change our past wrongs."

"Same change, same change"

Wang Xian left them for a meal, and when he was leaving, Li Yuanwai stuffed an envelope into his sleeve and said, "A little heart, you must accept it." ”

When he got home and opened the envelope, Wang Xian opened his mouth wide, it turned out to be a hundred acres of paddy fields in Hangzhou, and his name was written on the field deed...... Only then did Wang Xian realize that silk was a disguise, and sending the field was the real chapter

One acre of paddy field in Zhejiang is the cheapest to get twenty taels of silver, and one hundred acres is two thousand taels The Li family really spent money in order to obtain his understanding......

Another day, Wang Gui came again, but he accompanied his original owner, now the president of the Fuyang Paper Chamber of Commerce, to give Wang Xian a New Year's gift. Paper industry is the pillar industry of Fuyang, the financial resources of the Chamber of Commerce are not comparable to the first two, although Wang Xian has not been offended before, but the shot is still generous

Obviously, the Zhilu Dao Silk Industry Chamber of Commerce has already sent all the New Year's goods, and they can only bother to prepare gifts...... Silk embroidery, feathers, silk, leather each a car, as well as Duan inkstone, Hui ink, lake pen, bloodstone, Hetian jade and other sè play. Of course, Fuyang Yuan book paper is indispensable

This is a gift for Wang Xian's father and son to visit their boss's house for New Year's greetings. The silk and satin leather sheets are for the boss's daughters, and the stationery and stationery are for the boss's children. The reason why we have to prepare so much is naturally because there are many yamen in Hangzhou.

This is really empathetic, last year Wang Xian followed Wei Zhixian to Hangzhou to pay New Year's greetings, and people knew that they were from Fuyang, and the opening was: "Kyoto champion Fuyang paper, ten yuan books to take the Jinshi." When will you help us buy some so that the puppies that don't make it at home can also be auspicious? ，

As a result, Wei Zhixian didn't prepare any gifts at all, and when he turned around empty-handed, everyone laughed at him for two hundred and five, which made him so embarrassed. Wang Xian went back to the county and quickly bought five cars, and made a special trip to Hangzhou to make this matter come to a conclusion.

With these, Wang Xianye and his wife don't need to prepare gifts for the New Year, and the Yuan book paper they bought last year is not a tribute because it is not a tribute level, and it is rare and expensive. Yuan book paper is the official documents of the imperial court and the paper used for the imperial examination, and the tribute level is used for the emperor to write and paint, the price can be imagined. This time, the Paper Chamber of Commerce spared no effort to produce a car of tribute-level for the Wang family, as well as four cars of high-grade paper, and its intentions did not need to be said at all. I believe that in the hands of Wang Xingye, a gift-giving maniac, these treasures will definitely play a super role

After Wang Gui returned to Fuyang, he turned back for the third time in two days, and this time he represented the Fuyang County Provincial Salt. At the beginning, Wang Xian obtained the approval from the cheap brother Yang Tongzhi to allow Fuyang County to buy quotations with silver. This is actually very ridiculous, because although the imperial court was sympathetic to the people and stipulated that 'the two Zhejiang remote towns, where the officials and merchants are not good, 'the mountain merchants are allowed to pay eight cents of silver per 100 catties and give tickets for salt, and although Fuyang is indeed a mountainous area, it is only thirty miles away from the provincial capital, and it is connected by the Fu Chūn River, so it is not a remote town

But the big guy of the two Zhejiang Salt Transportation Divisions said hello, and Fuyang was counted...... Unchecked power is bound to create all sorts of absurdities, and there's no need to make a fuss. And Wang Xian really didn't think about making money at the beginning, he just wanted to knock on something from the cheap brother as much as possible to relieve his anger.

As soon as the Fuyang County Salt No. was established, the price of salt immediately dropped by half, and the smuggling salt dealers were directly unable to do it, but the people did get benefits, and they could eat cheap official salt with peace of mind, and they no longer had to worry about being arrested for buying illicit salt.

Behind the benefits of the people, the county and the salt merchants have also made a profit. In less than a year, Yanhao made a profit of nearly 10,000 taels of silver, and the county took 40% of the money, and the remaining owners shared it, and Wang Gui also had a share in it......

Of course, Yanhao's New Year's gift can't be compared with the Chamber of Commerce, the Chamber of Commerce is a dozen or even dozens of merchants united, such as preparing gifts for Wang Xian, the Chamber of Commerce has a showdown, and the burden of each one is not too heavy. But there was only one salt number, and only five hundred taels of silver were taken out with all his might...... Well, this' is what the old lady said, Aunt Wang has been hung up by the previous families, and she doesn't feel that five hundred taels of silver is too much.

However, Yanhao also put some thought into it, and they ordered a batch of New Year's bills to the gold and silver store in Hangzhou early. Five hundred taels of silver bought a hundred gold and silver bills, some in the plum blossom type, some in the begonia type, some in the pen ingot Ruyi, and some in the Eight Treasures Lianchūn. The goldsmiths of Hangzhou City, the level is no less than that of the capital, and the shapes created by each piece of the money are realistic and lifelike, which makes people love it.

The original intention of the firm to give this gift was to let the Wang family use this as New Year's money for the New Year, which was high-end and high-grade, and had a lot of face.

But they overestimated Aunt Wang's generosity, and she only gave two of the last 100 New Year's bills to her little granddaughter, and the remaining 98 were sent back to the shop by her and made into gold and silver cakes......

Before and after, Lu Yuanwai and Zhou grain merchants also came, and the two naturally came on behalf of the county grain number. Although it is only one child missing, the county grain number is much stronger than the salt number...... Because of the merit in the disaster relief, the province handed over the errand of transporting grain from Huguang to Fuyang County Grain Number, and in the year of the disaster, the province imported more than 2 million stone grain from Huguang, and the net profit of the grain number exceeded 200,000 taels

Although Wang Xian has no shares here, but Zhou Liangshang and Lu Yuanwai are his irons, it is said that the draft does not forget to dig wells, and to get rich does not forget to lead the way, how can he lose Wang Xian? However, the two of them brought a bag of Dongzhu over, which was worth no more than a thousand taels of silver...... Although it is really a lot, it can only be regarded as a drop in the bucket compared to what they earn.

But Wang Xian invited the two of them to the study to talk, which was a treatment that no one in front of him could enjoy, so that the old lady secretly scolded this kid for making friends accidentally and unrepentant...
