Chapter 21: Ribbon Cutting

The beggars left in a hurry, and Li Si immediately took his leave and left, Liu Han knew that he didn't want to 'deal' with Qiuge Lufan and them, so he didn't keep it, and let Liu Tie send him away. -Uncle Haha-

Qiu Ge was a little curious, and asked him how he got in touch with the Cao Gang Fengyulou, the Cao Gang came to a helmsman, and the Fengyulou was actually ordered by the gang leader, listening to Li Si's tone, the gang leader Xiao Yu didn't come because he had something, if it was okay, he would come to congratulate him in person.

Xiao Yu, the owner of the Wind and Rain Building, is famous in the imperial capital, even if these noble clans know his name, if nothing else, just say that he is a cold "door" martial artist, and he is "mixed" in the imperial capital, and his ability cannot be underestimated.

Liu Han 'mixed' after a few vague words, and after a while, Xue Mi also came, the current Xue Mi is not what he was a few months ago, as a yellow 'door' and 'servant' Lang often accompanies the emperor, although the official position is not high, but the status is prominent, Xue Mi is so proud, and his momentum is naturally different from the past.

"Brother, I came here on purpose, ha! It's 'quite' lively!" Xue Mi laughed loudly, Liu Han was naturally very face-saving, and Xue Mi felt that he was very 'excited' everywhere, Xue Mi was very satisfied, and patted Liu Han on the shoulder: "How is it?

Last time Liu Han sold the marble stone to him, after he took it back, although his father didn't say anything, it was obvious that his father and the prince's attitude towards him had changed subtly compared to before, and now that the emperor had just died, the prince let him serve as the middle book supervisor, becoming a new star among the upstarts in the imperial capital, and the future is limitless.

"Of course there are good things," Liu Han smiled all over his face, not caring at all about Qiu Ge's somewhat disdainful eyes: "However, I have to cut the ribbon first, Brother Xue, I'm waiting for you, Brother Qiu has already come." ”

"No way, no way, I finally asked for leave, His Majesty won't let me go, can I go? Xue Mi was very sorry, Qiu Ge couldn't help it, and said: "Brother Xue, don't delay, hurry up and cut the ribbon when you come, so many people are waiting." ”

"Okay, okay, okay, this begins. Xue Mile hehe, said very casually, Liu Han hurriedly ordered to bring the prepared things, four promotion ladies came over with trays, Xu Yuan announced the start of the ribbon cutting, accompanied by hundreds of firecrackers, Xue Mi stood in the best position in the middle, Qiu Ge Rufan was next to him, Liu Han himself stood on the outside, and the four of them cut the red silk together.

"Our store is officially opened!"

Xu Yuan shouted loudly, and the crowd of onlookers rushed inside, there is not much such a scene today.

Liu Han invited Xue Mi and them to the backyard, and each of them gave a piece of 'fine' carved 'jade' pendant, Xue Mi picked up the 'jade' pendant in his hand and looked at it carefully, he was a little surprised: "Brother Liu, your master is good, this carving is no worse than Ming's 'jade' Zhai!"

"That's nature," Liu Han was full of confidence: "My craftsmen and masters are all brought back from the Western Regions, they are all the best craftsmen, whether it is design or workmanship, absolutely first-class level, and they have been in the Western Regions for more than ten years, absorbing the cultural factors of the Western Regions, you see this 'jade' pendant, from the shape to the direction of the knife work, it is all the Western Regions genre, full of foreign flavors, Brother Xue, take this thing, whether it is a lover or a child, it will definitely not lose face." ”

Xue Yu nodded after pondering carefully, Liu Han said well, at least on the 'jade' wear, the 'jade' pendant of Ming 'jade' Zhai is full of Jiangnan flavor, graceful and 'refined', and the one in his hand is ingenious, with a kind of exotic style, and the two can be said to have their own merits.

"Apart from this, what other good things are there?" Xue Mi was in a good mood, put away the 'jade' pendant, and asked directly.

Miss Promotion's tea came over, and Liu Han served tea to Xue Mi: "Today, it's an opening, to be honest, the goods outside are relatively ordinary, it's not that they don't take it out, it's impossible for nobles to buy things like outside, good things are sold inside, this is the practice of making jewelry." ”

"Don't sell it, the good things are there, I'll take a look first. Xue Mi took a sip of the hot tea, yes, it is the Shifeng in the Ming Dynasty in the south of the Yangtze River, and it is considered the best grade in the tea.

Liu Han picked up a brochure for the auction and handed it to Xue Mi: "In a few days, I will hold an auction, all the jewelry is the 'fine' items selected by me, Brother Xue can come and see it then, but the price will not be cheap." ”

Xue Yu smiled, opened the booklet casually, and slowly looked at it, in fact, these booklets were given to the three of them, but none of them had read them, they all put them aside casually, and they only read this booklet for the first time today.

"Brother Liu, this hundred birds and phoenixes look 'very' interesting. Lu Fan said, this booklet is all hand-painted, naturally there will be no clear photos, and the craftsman is not a great painter, only its form is painted, and there is no shock of standing in front of the 'jade' screen at all.

"This is the auction of the three finale of the article, a hundred birds towards the phoenix 'jade' screen, this 'jade' screen is I in Guzang acquisition, just the purchase price is 200,000 taels of silver, the whole screen is made of a piece of white 'jade', the phoenix used 'jade' stone agate pearls, there are hundreds of pieces, the rest of the birds are all a variety of pure 'color' 'jade' stone production, the carving is 'fine', the whole screen took up to eight years. ”

Liu Han introduced it eloquently, Xue Mi and the three of them couldn't help but be moved, Qiu Ge wanted to go out of the city immediately, go to the garden to see the hundred birds and phoenix 'jade' screen, Liu Han resolutely refused, he told Qiu Ge that in order to maintain mystery, all the jewelry participating in the auction can only be seen on the same day.

"You see, I'm going to buy it soon, what should I do? Promise or not? Brother Qiu, Brother Xue, Brother Lu, understand, understand, let's see when the time comes. ”

Liu Han apologized repeatedly, which did not make the three of them unhappy, but Xue Mi had a feeling that Liu Han never cared about his own face, and most of the people who encountered this kind of thing were thinking of something beautiful, but Liu Han was very frank and did not mince words.

"It seems that this is a frank and sincere person, and he can 'communicate' more. ”

Xue Mi thought in his heart, Qiu Ge teased a few words from time to time, and the room was happy.

After staying for a while, Xue Mi took the lead in saying goodbye, saying that he still had to go to the palace, His Majesty the Emperor was very diligent, and it was estimated that he would stay up until late tonight.

Qiu Ge and Lu Fan wanted to pull Liu Han to Baiyi Garden, but Liu Han refused, he had to stay here when it opened today, and if there was anything to deal with immediately. The two of them no longer forced him, hooked their shoulders and backs, and walked away in a coquettish manner.

Liu Han looked at their backs and muttered in his heart, these two guys shouldn't be two good friends.

Liu Han stayed in the store until the evening 'door' rested, and then settled accounts with Xu Yuan.

"Owner, we have succeeded, there are 3,874 pieces of jewelry sold today, with a total of 180,000 taels of funds and a ,.。。 profit , profit, 56,000 taels of silver!" Xu Yuan quickly dialed the beads, and the last 'wave' moved, he shook the beads fiercely, and the abacus made a loud noise.

"Damn, there are a lot of rich people in the imperial capital, in the past, we had to return so many funds, and there has never been, but it is the imperial capital!" Xu Yuan sighed with emotion, although the Western Regions were rich, they were really poor compared to the Great Jin.

"Hmph, now I understand, why do I have to go back to the imperial capital, the imperial capital, the imperial capital, the richest 'gate' valve in the world is in the imperial capital, the wealth of the world is in the imperial capital, this is a golden mountain! ”

Liu Han smiled and sighed, the wealth of the imperial capital is because the emperor has concentrated all the wealth of the world in the imperial capital, and out of this prosperous city, the wilderness is full of homeless people, who are not clothed, unable to eat, and wail in the cold wind to survive.

In the structure of the imperial court, the Zhongshu Jian belonged to the Inner Dynasty, which was equivalent to the emperor's secretary team, and worked within the palace. Huang 'Gate' and 'Servant' Lang, this official is not big, he used to be mostly a eunuch, and later changed to a scholar and a eunuch to serve together.

When Xue Mi returned to the palace, it was already afternoon, and the atmosphere in the middle book was solemn, and a few small yellow 'doors' were hiding in the corners of the garden, and they didn't dare to come out, looking at the big 'door' of the imperial study in horror.

"What's going on?" Xue Yu also grabbed Xiao Huang's 'door' and asked, Xiao Huang's 'door' was served by a eunuch, and he usually did some 'errand' work.

"Your Majesty is angry," Xiao Huang 'Gate' said in a low voice, Xue Mi couldn't help but be a little stupid, he was fine before leaving in the morning, but after walking for a while, he was angry.

"I heard that there was an accident on the Jizhou side, and these guys have only stopped for a few days, and then they started making a fuss again, I see, they should kill a few, and everything will be fine.. ,”

"Who is so short-sighted, and dare to stir up trouble at this time!?"

Xiao Huang 'Door' explained the matter quickly in a low voice, and from his explanation, the key parts were extracted and reorganized, and Lian guessed that he finally understood.

Soon after he left, Pan Lian of Shangshutai came over with a few ministers, and after a while, first Peng Zhu and Pan Lian were arguing, then Peng Zhu and Gan Tang were arguing, and then the emperor also joined in, for one thing, land.

"Emperor Taizu has a clear order, and there are also regulations on the law of the Great Jin Dynasty! How much land can each person and household occupy! This violates the decree of Emperor Taizu and violates the law of the Great Jin Dynasty.

The emperor was almost roaring, and when Xue Mi heard these words, he felt a little bottom in his heart.

Taizu's edict, the law of the Great Jin.

At the beginning of the founding of the country, the Great Jin Dynasty ordered that each man should be given 70 acres of land, and the 'female' son would be given 40 acres of land, the Ding man would be given 50 acres of land, and the Ding 'female' would be given 30 acres of land.

Emperor Taizu felt that the land annexation of the previous dynasty was annexed, and ordered that the field should not be sold or transferred under any circumstances, and if the man died, the field must be recovered by the government, and after the man became a man, the court would grant the field.

This is for the common people, and for the scholars, the imperial court also stipulates that officials and scholars do not have fields, but they have a job to divide the fields, and the first-grade officials can occupy 50 hectares of land, and there is no lower grade in the future, less than 5 hectares, and this post does not 'pay' taxes, and in addition, they can shade their relatives or subordinates according to their positions; in addition to the officials who do not 'pay' taxes, the scholars do not 'pay' taxes, and the land occupied by the scholars is not distributed according to the male, but stipulates the number of fields that the scholars can occupy.

Emperor Taizu artificially avoided drastic land annexation, the scholars got special treatment, the people also had a way to live, and the country was stable.

But this national policy has been implemented for hundreds of years, and gradually it has changed.

The land annexation is becoming more and more intense, there are more and more displaced people in the world, and the successive emperors know that something will happen sooner or later if this continues, so the successive emperors want to re-census the land, but every time they just start, they are flocked to persuade the ministers of the court and the central government, and the local government is also pushing back and obstructing, and they are not willing to implement it at all.

As a result, things were delayed in this way, and there were more and more displaced people, and the treasury became more and more empty.

The new monarch succeeded to the throne, and the civil and military ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were waiting for the first knife of the new monarch, but everyone didn't know that the first knife was cut on the land.
