Chapter 175: Pleasure Devil's Nest?(1/2)
Liu Mingqi spent a few days in Songjiang Mansion, and it was the most interesting thing to come to Jiangnan this time.
It’s not that Songjiang Prefecture has such a good natural landscape. In fact, in modern times, this largest and most prosperous financial city in our country has no natural landscape.
Its unique charm, just like modern times, is brought about by various economic behaviors.
Not only are there various commodity trading areas here, but the division of labor is also very clear.
The wide range of goods brought by sea trade did not need to be sold anywhere else. The merchants in Songjiang Prefecture collected these goods on the dock and then shipped them to various towns as quickly as possible for sale.
Although the price won't make a lot of money, it can also make a group of rich people because of fast in and out.
And those suppliers.
The overseas maritime traders don’t have to look for whatever goods they want, so the merchants here can connect with them. They can provide whatever they want, and basically ensure that they are free and unrestrained.
In this era, except for a very small number of businessmen who can make it, most of them rely on their loyalty and reputation to do things.
It is a bit like the Shanxi merchants in "Qiao Family Courtyard", and it is also a bit like Hui merchants, Zhejiang merchants, etc.
If you have a bad reputation and bully others with your power, although others will respect you, they will definitely not want to do business with you.
People like this are just trading political resources. Once their backers fall, they will fall by themselves and there is no luck.
Although the Sima family in Zhenjiang actively licked Lin Zhenyuan, they did not deceive or had a bad attitude when they were doing passenger transport business, and they were as dignified as they were.
That's why they had the opportunity to wait until Liu Mingqi came to give her an idea.
Otherwise, they should be lying down in the first wave of "special actions to combat Lin Zhenyuan Group's illegal and criminal activities".
Of course, there are also those who cheat, but these are the kind who just leave after a vote, and they will never dare to stay in Songjiang Mansion for a long time.
Otherwise, even if the maritime traders do not report them, the local big merchants will sink them to the bottom of the Huangpu River.
Among overseas businessmen, there are also those who are greedy for small gains, but after being deceived several times, they have learned the lessons of their predecessors. Now there are few markets for scammers and profiteers.
Liu Mingqi thinks this is good.
After a quick trip, you can only see the prosperity of Songjiang Mansion Wharf.
But if you expand your stroll to the entire Songjiang Prefecture within 20 or 30 miles, you will find that there are various small workshops and small factories here.
They produce various daily necessities, most of which are loved by overseas businessmen.
For example, porcelain.
The porcelain produced in Songjiang Prefecture is simply a toad in the water compared to those from official kilns, folk kilns, and Jingdezhen.
But most of the people's maritime traders don't pick on it!
Those island countries overseas have almost hundreds of millions of people. How many people are rich?
How much high-quality porcelain can a rich man consume?
There are many people in Dakang who can’t afford these exquisite porcelains.
So those stupid and thick inferior porcelain, such as bowls, plates, basins, bottles, etc., have a huge market.
At least tens of millions of such porcelains are sold overseas in a year.
Songjiang Prefecture has a terrain advantage. Relying on the nearby local area, it can save transportation costs, it produces a large amount of porcelain.
Even if each porcelain is only one cent cheaper, overseas merchants will turn to purchase theirs.
In addition to porcelain, there are other commodities.
I have to say that these merchants from Jiangsu and Zhejiang are so so sophisticated that even if they cost a penny, they are willing to do it through large-scale production.
Of course, their production scale and output alone are far from meeting the huge demand.
Therefore, workshops and factories in other places can receive many orders, and everyone's life is very comfortable.
From the experience of Songjiang Prefecture, we can also see that the coastal areas have so many conveniences that the mainland cannot envy them no matter how they come.
Even if Chengdu is known as the unparalleled southwest, at most it is to go to Nanzhao and the caravans of Tubo will pass through them. The prosperity of the city is not as good as Songjiang Prefecture, which has only been open for one or two hundred years.
With more merchants coming and going, there are more workshops and factories, Songjiang Mansion naturally gathers great popularity.
Various food, drink, entertainment and entertainment here have gradually developed.
In and outside the city of Songjiang Prefecture, restaurants, gambling houses, poetry clubs, flower buildings, theaters, cockfighting, dog racing, competition venues... etc. As long as you can think of it, there is no saying that you can't find in Songjiang Prefecture.
The last time I went to Chengdu, a group of royal family members were satisfied enough, and they became even better in Suzhou City.
But this time when they came to Songjiang Prefecture, they all sighed that Songjiang Prefecture is really a paradise on earth and they wish they could stay here for the rest of their lives.
All the royal nobles have money.
Because they thought that there weren't many opportunities to play in their lives, parents gave them enough money and all of them were slapping their faces and pretending to be fat.
Of course, because the royal chamber received a lot of dividends last year, the three thousand royal chambers received enough benefits from top to bottom, and their income increased by at least one third. Therefore, even if they use up all of them now, they can still get subsidies after returning home to make up for this advanced consumption.
Liu Mingqi didn't go to everyone to spend money, but he was responsible for the itinerary of food, accommodation and transportation along the way, and the money was calculated in detail.
The boy was not very interested in going to the flower building to talk to the ladies and applauding love.
The simple boss around him is much better than these vulgar fans in terms of appearance and figure.
Originally, Liu Mingqi wanted to respect Boss Su, and wanted to wait for the trip to Jiangnan to officially marry Xiao Suqin into the house and integrate with her.
The plan cannot match the change.
Didn’t Liu Mingqi decide to kill the Japanese, avenge the 30 million compatriots in China, and prevent the people who are prosperous in this life from being abused?
The general is bound to be killed in the battle.
Since you are going to fight, you must be prepared to die in battle.
Liu Mingqi was afraid of death, but it would be fine if he was in the capital on weekdays. Now that he met, Liu Mingjing wanted to take people to do something for the people in Jiangnan, but he wanted to avoid it. Such escape made him feel very sad.
So he had to go with his teeth even though he gritted his teeth, otherwise where would he escape if Dakang encounters something more serious in the future?
Will it be safe to escape to the island?
Lao Pan, who later became a vicious internet celebrity, once said something that Liu Mingqi agreed with.
"When I went out to make a fuss, my father gave me a sentence: 'Don't cause trouble if you have nothing to do, don't be afraid if you have something to do."
Things are coming, is it useful to avoid it?
Life always requires facing something.
Although 99% of Liu Mingqi will be fine, what if?
If you die, you will die, and there was nothing to regret at that time.
But there is one thing that Liu Mingqi must not ignore.
My parents are now 39 and 37 years old, and they only have a son like themselves. If they are so young, they will have no descendants. How can this be done?
So he thought that he had to leave a descendant for his parents, right?
Therefore, Sister Su came to Songjiang Mansion a few days ago. At first, Liu Mingqi had not planned to become a real man, but after thinking about it, he took advantage of the dark and windy nights and directly dealt with Sister Su.
Xiao Suqin was naturally surprised and gave up half of it.
Then these days, the couple lived a shameless life at night. The beauty of it was really not enough to tell outsiders.
Of course, if you allow it to write it out, the genius named Jun Xiucai can still write hundreds of thousands of words of details.
However, the divine beast is fierce and can only live in purity.
...
There are so many things to play in Songjiang Mansion.
For example, this afternoon, Liu Mingqi went to watch a rugby game, and even a good man like Liu Mingjing who was determined to kill the enemy came.
Not only did he come here, but all the members of the Royal Rugby team trained, as well as the guards of the 200 royal palaces, a group of embroidered guards, etc., were all present, basically taking a side.
The ticket price is one tael of silver, and the best seat is twenty taels.
But Liu Mingqi and Liu Mingjing didn't think it was expensive at all, and everyone was interested in watching it.
In terms of level, the two rugby teams here are even one tenth of the Royal Rugby team... no, one percent of the level is not up to, but even the members of the Royal Rugby team themselves were full of surprise and cheering loudly.
Why?
The reason is very simple.
All the people who play rugby are women.
Women's rugby team.
Moreover, they were all wearing tights, although they couldn't be exposed, but they made the muddy body full of wrestling together. The men really felt pleasing to the eye when they saw it.
In fact, the prince of Prince Yi, the little prodigal son of the flower group, thinks that it is best not to wear them, which is more exciting.
Everyone next to him praised him. Fortunately, Bagu and Xiao Suqin and other women did not come here today, otherwise they would have to spit his saliva.
...
While a group of people were staring at them, they didn't know that there were two thin men whispering to discuss them in a low voice.
A thin man looked regretful: "The protection power of this King De and a group of royal families is too strong. Even if we fight to the death, we may not be able to catch them, right?"
