Chapter 661 What gift did you give

The Pu family is the Pu family who helped Zhao Rong escape to the black-clad Pu Shougeng! But at this moment, he was not only the one who took charge of the Pu family, but also Pu Shouzi, who was kind to the magistrate of Quanzhou. At this moment, he has not yet become the Quanzhou Shipin Department as recorded in history.

At this moment, the owner of the sea ships in his family were not as many as thousands of ships that he had since become an official. Although there were hundreds of ships, it would be worth mentioning if it was compared with the "Whale-class Rapid Transportation Ship" with a load of 500 to 600 tons.

Especially at this moment, not only Jeju Island, Ferai Island, and shipyards on the three islands of Socotra are all working hard to produce. The ability to build ships with almost the world's strength is naturally not comparable to Quanzhou's ability to produce ships with Quanzhou's strength. Not to mention the changes brought about by the use of wind-powered band saws, wind-powered forging hammers and modular construction methods on the three islands. The same goes for the same sentence, different technological content means that it cannot be compared.

At this moment, all the Pu family ships were about 1,500 to 1,700, and there were not many sea ships with a load of more than 200 tons that could be voyed far away. However, the development of the Pu family was influenced by the influence of the Minami Wai Zhengshi.

Because the ship of Nanwai Zongzhengsi will not be charged a valuable donation fee except for registering in Quanzhou Maritime Warehouse, and there are also some service. This allows Nanwai Zongzhengsi's fleet to develop rapidly. The most disgusting thing is that because they have the blood of the Song Dynasty royal family, they are not willing to easily deal with the maritime merchants in Quanzhou.

But at this moment, what Pu Shougeng was thinking was not that simple. His subordinates held a box of matches and reached out to lift the glass lampshade of the lantern, lit the candle with the matches, and then put the lampshade down. At this moment, his mood was uneasy, which was precisely because of this.

The supper at the Pu family is rich. Recently, due to these changes, Pu Shougeng has shirked many social engagements. He needs time to think about the matter in front of him. Now he is 43 years old, and his wife is with his adult children and usually doesn't come here to have dinner.

Maybe everyone knew that he was feeling uncomfortable these days, so he didn't get bored by him. The only one who served him was the youngest concubine. Because she had experienced being a singing girl, she had the lowest status among the women in the family. Her son Pu Jinshu was older and had been sent far away to Persia. In her 30s, she was still just a concubine with a status of only a little higher than a girl.

Speaking of which, women of the Song people are beautiful, especially the care, attentiveness and a little bit of sadness revealed in their eyes, which often touches his heart. Compared with his brother who is in charge of the ancestral hall, Pu Shousu, he has long been much less indifferent to the rules passed down from his ancestors. Compared to his brother, he prefers to deal with officials, because of this hobby, he can maintain some traditions passed down at home.

At this moment, he held a glass of wine poured by a concubine named Xianglan and put it to his mouth, looking like he wanted to drink and stayed there, his eyes fixedly looking at the two items on the table. This was brought to him by the merchant Zhao Mingzhuo, and the rest of the family had to go to the street to buy it at a high price. At this moment, these two small things were completely shocked.

He could not guess where these things would come from. Zhao Mingzhuo had become an important figure in Quanzhou City because of these two small things and some exquisite gadgets. He also had crystal bottles and cups with wine on his table. This was the one Zhao Mingzhuo, who had gone from a small sea merchant with only a few ships to a sea merchant that everyone was trying to visit in a short time.

However, this guy was a little strange, no matter who he had seen. However, after the few small gifts he sent him, he did not see the handwritten letters or messages, which made Pu Shougen unable to figure out what he was planning. This is the problem that Pu Shougen was worried and thinking about in the end.

"Has he heard about me opening my joints? If that's the case, Zhao Mingzhuo would be considered a very well-informed person?"

Pu Shougen likes to deal with officials because they are guys who only recognize money. In a family like him, things that can be bought with money are not valuable things. At this moment, it has been agreed that he will only wait for the National People's Congress to be promoted to Quanzhou Shipinsi for three years, and the next time is the opportunity for him to take office.

The benefits of being an official are naturally infinitely lonely. Pu Shougen understood that nothing is better than being an official and a businessman in the Song Dynasty (this is true in all dynasties. The fundamental problem in China is that only the treatment of law can cure this disease). At that time, the status of the family will naturally be the same as that of the elder brother Gao, Pu Shou, and the affairs of the ancestral hall will naturally be determined by him, who has an official title.

As for Zhao Mingzhuo, although he was the royal family of the Zhao family, the distant branches were only under the care of the Quanzhou government at this moment. Moreover, these distant branches ate the money and food of Quanzhou, which naturally made local merchants dissatisfied with the increased taxes.

Although no one dared to conflict with them, no one of the people from the Zhao family who lived in Nanwai Zongzhengshi was willing to date more. After all, people who had no right to have a title can say nothing in the real world.

"What kind of person is that Zhao Mingzhuo!"

Tasting red wine and looking at the candlelight in the lantern, Pu Shougeng asked himself quietly. Faced with such a gift, but did not cling to him, Pu Shougeng couldn't help but become more vigilant in his heart.

Zhao Mingzhuo was nothing in Nanwai Zongzhengshi. At this moment, he was willing to only take 1/3 of his money and grain, and live outside Nanwai Zongzhengshi, and is not subject to the control of the department. As a businessman, he has a lot of freedom.

Although the sky was gradually getting darker, people who came to buy matches were still queuing outside his shop. As a maritime merchant, he did not open a store. But at this moment, these goods that could not be sold by others naturally had to open a store by himself.

As soon as this store opened, only crystal mirrors, wine and other things made the customers in the store look like crucian carp across the river. Later, after learning about matches and lanterns, they opened the door every day and immediately filled them with strings. However, he only had a ship of cargo, so he had to set a quantity every day, and only one box was sold out without selling it.
