Daming Town Haiwang

Chapter 1930, Real wealthy marriage 2
"You are all pillars of the country. In the future, you will all be the right arm of the emperor, assisting the king at the top, and governing the people of the Li people at the bottom. Blessings, serving as an official, should benefit one side, have a long history, and it is not in vain to study hard for many years!"

Liu Jin checked the time and chatted with them for several hours. It was already late, so he also issued an order to evict the guests.

"Students must remember Liu Gong's teachings!"

Zeng Ziying, Sun Tianjing, Jiang Xi, Chen Peter, Li Xiangdong, Yun Tiantian, Ruan Wenhao and others also replied in unison.

This Liu Jin is quite different from the other officials he visited in the past. What he talks about is his family, country and world, and what he asks is the development of various places in Ming Dynasty, the living conditions of the common people, and whether the various tribes live in harmony. The problem.

"Well, you guys go back, there are still a few months before the test, prepare well, and strive for the title of the gold list!"

Liu Jin nodded, looking at the students in front of him, they were all about the same age as him, most of them were in their twenties and thirties, calling students in front of him, even if they were not embarrassed, he was quite embarrassed.

"Er Liu Gong, it's rare for me to have the honor to visit you once. Can you leave some calligraphy for me so that I can stay by my side and be alert to myself at all times?"

Seeing that Liu Jin had no time to pay attention to everyone, Zeng Ziying also said weakly after exchanging glances with everyone according to the previous procedure.

"My handwriting is ugly, so don't be ashamed, everyone please go back."

When Liu Jin heard it, he understood what they meant.

The officialdom of the Ming Dynasty is like this. The literati play these things in a devious way. They are obviously cashiers but they come up with various names. What kind of calligraphy, do you think everyone is Wang Xizhi? A word is worth a fortune.

In the final analysis, it is just a way to increase income in disguise.

In the past, the salaries of officials were very low, and it was difficult to support themselves. There was nothing to say in this way, but now, the salaries of officials in Ming Dynasty are quite good, much higher than that of ordinary people.

But this kind of atmosphere is still very prevalent, not only has it not diminished in the slightest, but it has become more and more intense. Whenever the imperial examinations are held, these officials in the court will make a lot of money.

Every day is very busy, there are endless people to see, and endless words to write, so that the prices of pens, inks, papers and inkstones in the capital have increased a lot during this time.

For such a phenomenon, Liu Jin is also very helpless, this has become a kind of atmosphere and an unwritten rule.

These students are also very happy, and they are trying their best to get some relationships, and sharpen their heads. Many times, even if there is no relationship, they will force all kinds of relationships to visit, and then they will give money.

Others can't control it, but Liu Jin can at least control himself.

"This~"

When everyone heard this, they immediately looked at each other in dismay. Liu Jin was indeed the same as the rumors said. These two men had no inscriptions or left ink treasures for others. It was true at all.

Of course, everyone knows that Liu Jin has a lot of money himself, and the money in his family is too much to spend. All the new schools in the world are built and run by Liu Jin with money.

The money spent on this matter every year is very huge, tens of millions of taels of silver, and such a huge expenditure is still increasing every year. If it is not for the huge industry under Liu Jin's command, it will not be able to support it at all.

Therefore, Liu Jin is not short of money, nor is he willing to collude with other people.

This eats people's mouths and has short hands. Other people's money is not so easy to take.

There is no way, everyone can only leave the Liu residence.

"Mr. Liu is indeed the same as in the rumors. He is upright and has a breeze in his sleeves."

"Brother Tian, ​​thank you so much. I was lucky enough to meet Liu Gong today, and we had a very happy chat."

"That's right, I still have to thank Brother Tian for today. Xiaoxiang Guan will treat me tonight, Brother Tian must not refuse."

"Uh, places like Xiaoxiangguan. Forget it. I have to concentrate on my studies. The exam is getting closer and closer. I have to step up my preparations. It is said that there may be more than 2 students who will come to take the exam this year." Although the number of admitted students has increased compared with last time, there are only more than 500 people, and the competition is still very fierce.”

"What? More than 2 people have come to the capital to take the exam this year?"

When everyone heard this, their faces changed drastically.

"Isn't there only more than [-] people in the past? Why did they increase so much all of a sudden?"

"Yes, more than 2 of the 500 people are admitted, which is too low. I'm afraid it will be difficult if I want to go to high school."

"So, now we must concentrate on studying and preparing for the exam. It's better not to go to that kind of fireworks place."

In Liu's mansion, in Liu Jin's study.

"Chen Xue is going to give birth in a few months, and Liu Xin's major affairs must be taken care of before she gives birth."

"Otherwise, the second child has already been born, and the eldest has not married a wife, so it is always a bit unpleasant. Zhang Lun came to the door today, probably because of this matter."

After all, the Duke of England and the Duke of Liao are the two Dukes of the Ming Dynasty, and they are the top rich and nobles of the Ming Dynasty, and they both have face.

The whole capital knew about the baby kiss between the two parties.

Otherwise, Zhang Lun's daughter, Zhang Yun, would have known how many people had come to propose marriage. This Zhang Yun is both talented and beautiful, and she is also the daughter of the Duke of England. I don't know how many nobles in the capital are jealous.

After thinking about this clearly, Liu Jin also began to quickly arrange it.

Soon, Liu Jin asked Duke Dingguo Xu Guangzuo to be his matchmaker. Xu Guangzuo was Liu Xin's uncle, so he was the perfect matchmaker.

Go through the process of the three books and six ceremonies, and then choose an auspicious day to get things done.

The marriage between the Duke of England and the Duke of Liao once again allowed the young and old in the capital to see the luxurious wedding of the real top wealthy family in Ming Dynasty.

Liao Guogong sent Ding Guogong a bride price worth tens of millions of taels of silver. The gold, silver and jewelry were all delivered in oversized boxes, and the boxes were delivered by car one by one.

When crossing the street, the boxes have to be opened, so that everyone can see the contents of the boxes. Box after box of gold, silver and jewelry is also an eye-opener for the old men who are used to seeing luxurious weddings in the capital.

In addition to gold, silver and jewellery, jadeite, coral gemstones, agate pearls, etc. are also full of boxes and boxes, heavy, and any one of them is enough for ordinary people to eat for a lifetime, but But it is the most common thing in it.

There are also quite a lot of antique calligraphy and paintings. Outsiders have never seen the works of famous masters in the past dynasties. This time, I can feast my eyes and see the true face of Lushan Mountain. Every pair of calligraphy and painting is worth tens of thousands of taels of silver. Some are precious and even national treasures, but this one is extremely valuable.

But these are not the most valuable things. Among the dowry gifts and betrothal gifts given by the Liu Mansion, the most valuable are some lands, streets, and shops in Beijing, Tianjin, and Songhu.

It’s not just a few rooms, a few rooms, but a whole street of shops, shops, and a large piece of land. Nowadays, the land, shops, and shops in the Beijing-Tianjin area and Songhu area have already been valued. The city is connected.

Like the shops in the new town of the Southern District, you have no place to buy them even if you have money, because all the land, commodities, shops, etc. here belong to Liu Jin and the prince, and they only rent and don’t sell them, and they can buy them if they have money No, a random store, if calculated according to the prices of stores in other areas of the capital, would cost tens of thousands of taels of silver.

This gift is a whole street of shops and shops, such a heroic spirit, the young and old in the capital can't help but take a deep breath.

This Nima is really too proud.

In addition to gold and silver jewelry, antique calligraphy and painting, jade and jade, real estate stores, etc., there are also a large number of stocks, and the stocks of major commercial firms, large and small, have packed several big boxes for you.

Any one of these is tens of thousands of shares, tens of thousands of shares, or even hundreds of thousands of shares. Calculated according to the stock prices of Daming's current listed firms, factories, workshops, etc., this is another extremely huge wealth.

As for ordinary things like silk and silk, cars, mirrors, watches, etc., it goes without saying that hundreds of people were hired to pick these things, and a long queue was formed.

"Tsk tsk, this Duke of Liao is indeed the so-called God of Wealth of the Ming Dynasty. This is really heroic. The dowry gift of tens of millions of taels of silver is really unprecedented."

"Isn't it? Did you see those gold, silver and jewels? All of them are big boxes that can hold adults. This box, one box, tell me how much silver and gold this box can hold?"

"In my opinion, a box can hold at least ten thousand taels of gold and silver. I counted some at that time, and there are hundreds of big boxes."

"Isn't it? There are also those antique calligraphy and paintings, gold, silver and jade wares. You didn't pay attention to them. Those jade wares are all the top jade wares, imperial green jade, top agate, and pearls the size of pigeon eggs. , Tsk tsk, any of these things are priceless."

"These are nothing. What are really valuable are those stocks, real estate and shops. I saw that there are 1 shares of the Egyptian Canal among them. The Egyptian Canal is now worth nearly 300 taels a share. This stock alone It’s worth 300 million taels.”

"I don't know how many stocks are in the box, and the real estate and shops, not one or two, but a street, a street of real estate and shops, God knows how much money it will be worth."

"It's really heroic, but it's just a drop in the bucket for the Duke of Liao, and everyone should keep their eyes open. In a few days, when the British Duke and daughter get married, this dowry thing It will definitely be an eye-opener for everyone!"
