Chapter 271

In the main hall, the entire building is made of vines, with intertwined roots and luxuriant branches. The interior is full of fragrance and surrounded by flowers. What is even more commendable is that there is a clear fountain in the center of the main hall, and the fountain keeps gushing out from the spring. , along the small corridors dug out of the ground, slowly flowing past the front of each seat in the hall, and before each water flow, there are two beautiful girls wearing thin gauze clothes kneeling in the water, constantly Pour the berry condensed milk in your hands into the water and stir gently.

As soon as Qing Xia entered the door, she smelled a charming fragrance of wine, mixed with the fresh body fragrance of a woman.Jin Shaohuang stood aside and explained lightly: "This is the white spring drawn from Canglang Mountain. It flows here through the diverted underground river. It absorbs the heat of the buried earth-flame jade shoots and is specially stored. The cold ice under the ice cools down, and it becomes the most suitable three-cold water for wine making. These berry condensed milks are the best for wine mixing, and it is not easy to collect them. Therefore, this white spring wine is full of fragrance and mellow. Since Master Xia is here, you can drink Have a good taste."

Qing Xia's heart sank, the Jin family is really rich and powerful, it's unbelievable that they want to modify the underground river after drinking.But on the surface, she didn't show a surprised expression, she sat calmly at the head, and Chu Li, Le Song and others were her followers, sitting on the table behind her.

Dongfang Li brought Yu Xian and others to the table, and sat down next to Qingxia, opposite Jin Shaohuang and a group of big families from the southeast.

The Jin family is indeed the richest man in the southeast, and all the people invited to dance are famous musicians in the southeast. Even the musician next to him who plays the pipa and guzheng is also a famous music theory master in the southeast.Many dignitaries and dignitaries at the banquet were all well-informed people, and with just a quick glance, they saw famous prostitutes and musicians who were hard to see each other, and they sighed secretly.Those rich and powerful families were better, and some officials who were fed by the emperor couldn't help being a little dumbfounded.

Feasts of flowing water were served one after another, and the charming girls were waiting on the sidelines. I saw that the banquet was full of all kinds of rare delicacies, such as elk, wild camel hooves, deer lips, leopard fetuses, and butter cicadas. Every time a dish is served, the servants will loudly announce the name of the famous chef who cooked it. The delicious taste makes people want to melt their tongues.

Even the corrupt officials who attended the banquet had never seen such a grand occasion, and they couldn't help sighing inwardly at the generosity of these southeast clans.

Seeing that Chu Li actually brought the girl in yellow into the banquet and sat behind her, Qing Xia couldn't help feeling a little troubled.He didn't pay attention to these delicious treasures, and unlike other officials who sighed after taking a bite, the absent-minded cup was dry, and the dish was eaten as soon as it came, so they didn't care about how many processes this thing had to go through.

A cup of Baiquan fine wine is brought from Canglang Mountain through the crustal river, heated by ground fire, cooled by ice, and taken out by a 67-year-old girl in Wenrun's small hands, soaked with 40 kinds of seafood, scented with [-] kinds of herbs, and then Supplemented with seven kinds of fruit juices of wild fruits and mountain delicacies, seven kinds of water and wine are added, steamed on site, filtered and moistened, and more than [-] processes are required to complete.Others sip it in small sips, wishing to compose a poem to lament with a sip, but she feels that her mouth is dry enough to quench her thirst.

The officials on the side couldn't help being in awe when they saw it, and secretly said that they deserved to be the governor, with this posture, vision, and courage...

"Grandpa, I'm going to sit at Lord Xia's table."

Qing Xia was worrying about it, when she suddenly heard Dong Fang Yu'er's sweet voice, she couldn't help but feel dizzy twice.Seeing that his granddaughter was interested in Qing Xia, Dongfang Li nodded as soon as he rolled his eyes, and said: "You young people have something to say, go and go."

Qingxia's head suddenly became as big as a fight, and just as she was about to say no, Dongfang Yu'er had already run to her side, and said with a red face, "Master Xia, you, you should talk to grandpa about business first, Yu'er, Yu'er Just sit behind you."

After all, he ignored Qing Xia's expression, passed through the crowd lightly, sat on the seat behind Qing Xia, and stood beside Chu Li with the girl in yellow, overjoyed.

This time, not only Qing Xia was stunned, but even Dongfang Li and Chu Li couldn't hold back their face.Dongfang Li looked at Chu Li in surprise. Although he felt that his temperament was more graceful, he still couldn't see where it was.But no matter what status he has, how can a small staff member of the governor's mansion be worthy of his granddaughter, he must talk to Yu'er carefully when he goes back, and she can't let her mess with life's major events.

Qing Xia turned her head, glanced at the girl in yellow and Dongfang Yu'er indifferently, then frowned and glanced at Chu Li, seeing Dongfang Yu'er filling another glass of water and wine for him with a smile, Qing Xia nodded slightly. He nodded without showing any signs of expression, just said softly: "Drink less wine." Then he turned his head.

"Since the adults took over the southeast, the climate of the southeast generation has been updated, the sea ban has been suppressed, the Japanese pirates have been suppressed, and overseas alliances have been made. The courage is amazing and the skills are superb. It is true that heroes have come out of youth since ancient times."

A clear voice suddenly rang in the ear, Qing Xia turned her head to look, only to see Jin Shaohuang toasting with a faint smile, and said gently to herself.

Qing Xia looked at his calm eyes and the gentle corners of his mouth, even though she knew in her heart that he was just an ordinary businessman, all of this was just superficial effort, not necessarily a shrewd mind in private, still felt a familiar aura lingering between snorts.No matter how guarded he was, he couldn't help but feel good about him at this moment, raised his glass and said with a faint smile, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Jin, it's rare for Mr. Jin to support such a large family business on his own in his weak years. "

"There are talented people from generation to generation, and the blue is better than the blue. Dudu Xia and Mr. Jin are in business and the other is in politics. They are the pillars of our southeast," Dongfang Li said loudly with a kind voice and a smile.

As soon as this remark came out, all the officials and merchants in the house raised their glasses to celebrate, and flattery and clichés poured out like water.

Qingxia cheered up, threw away all those emotions that shouldn't exist, developed the ocean-going fleet, wooed the southeast gentry, and bewitched the rich and powerful, so as to form a huge interest group with common interests, using all available property and connections, Consolidate the achievements of ocean commerce in the southeast and even the whole of China, and use their huge financial resources and relationship network to reduce the economic burden on the imperial court, so that shipbuilding, commerce, shipping, and navy can rely on the help of the people, so as to avoid the failure of the plan due to the heavy burden on the treasury. It's what she's working towards.Now that time is running out, she must put all her heart and soul into the face of the matter, maintain a good relationship with the wealthy businessmen in the southeast, and let them willingly spend money to jump on this big ship of long-distance voyages and commerce. The only thing is to see if she can show kindness and power at the same time.It can neither be used as a decoration by the government, but also needs full support and trust, relying on slow work.

Today is just a trial, for her, especially for Jin Shaohuang.They are all trying to find a suitable partner to jointly start the big ship of ocean trade. The problem is that they are not sure that the other party is the person they are looking for.

"Last night, I heard that Mr. Jin had donated a large number of Nanyang seeds, saying that they were high-yield varieties with a yield of two thousand catties per mu. Is this true?"

Before Jin Shaohuang could speak, Dongfang Li hurriedly said from the side: "Exactly, Mr. Jin also promised that if the people don't believe it, the Jin family can pay the people a year's harvest in advance. In this way, the harvest can be guaranteed even if the weather is not good today. The people will also have enough food and clothing.”

"Oh?" Qing Xia slightly raised her eyebrows, and said: "Young Master Jin is so generous, as the parent officer of Southeast, I really want to thank you for the people in Southeast, but I don't know if the yield per mu is really two thousand catties? If it is true what the young master said, the Jin family only relies on food this year to make a profit, it will be enough to attract the attention of the world."

As soon as this remark came out, the businessmen in the audience suddenly opened their eyes wide.They have also thought about the various situations here for a long time, and the only question now is whether the yellow seeds are really high-yielding varieties.If it is true, then the wealth of the Jin family will be taken a step further.

Jin Shaohuang was calm, and smiled lightly when he heard the words, and replied: "This kind of seed is a foreign species brought back from Nanyang by my family. The merchants in Nanyang once swore that they would produce [-] per mu. But everyone knows, Most of the Nanyang businessmen's words are not true, so Jin is not sure."

Everyone responded immediately, and some people said that Mr. Jin was too careless. Obviously, the reputation of Nanyang merchants in the southeast generation is not very good.Qingxia smiled when she heard the words, and said: "Since that's the case, why doesn't Mr. Jin try to grow it himself for a year, and then spread it out widely?"

Jin Shaohuang obviously had a plan in mind, and said with a light smile: "Chinese people have always been xenophobic. Even if Shaohuang tried planting for a year, it was proved that it would really produce [-] per mu. Without high profit guarantee, the common people would not try it boldly. Besides, The southeast has been in war for years, and it has finally come to peace. It is a good time to recuperate. Shaohuang boldly tried this method. Although there may be no harvest and heavy losses, once it succeeds, the people in the entire southeast will see this together. The harvest and benefits are hidden in it. At this time next year, the grain will be high, and the people will naturally have enough food and clothing, so there is no need to wait another year."

Master Yu Xian sighed, and said: "Young Master Jin is a generous man who cares about the country and the people, which is really admirable."

The others immediately praised Jin Shaohuang for his righteousness, his heart for the common people, and his righteousness.

Qing Xia sneered in his heart, and thought to himself that such a large deal, do you seem to be taking it all by yourself?With me here, how can your wishful thinking start.Immediately sighed, shook his head and said, "Mr. Jin is very benevolent and righteous. If there is a day when the grains are abundant and the granary is full, the people of the whole world should really set up a monument for you. Sooner or later, three sticks of incense will be dedicated to the son's longevity tablet in gratitude. Your goodness."
