Chapter 201 The Lifeline of Huang Magistrate

Huang Tiren and the Heng Palace had some quarrels and relatives, so he did not agree directly: "But in the past it was all the business of the Heng Palace. I think the Heng Palace will still come to Dengzhou to collect silk this year."

Liu Peng went straight in one go: "I just want the Ming Mansion to approve a review. As for the Heng Mansion that cannot arrive at our Dengzhou Mansion to collect silk, that is the future matter! Anyway, the Ming Mansion was already a Taoist minister at that time, and it was no longer in Dengzhou Mansion, so it would not be too difficult!"

Huang Tiren didn't expect that even a small deputy officer knew the news that he was going to be transferred, and his expression became strange: "We are going to finish the Ming Dynasty, and the Ming Dynasty is going to finish the Ming Dynasty!"

He frowned: "The news that I am transferred to Daochen, I learned that I had received an urgent letter from a friend in the capital last night. As a result, you, a young deputy, came to the door today and told me that you already know that I was transferred to Daochen. The administration of the Ming Dynasty has reached this point, and it will definitely be over sooner or later!"

When Huang Tiren said this, Liu Peng was certainly embarrassed. Fortunately, Huang Tiren quickly changed the subject: "Your matter is not difficult to deal with. But although I have left, I still have a Taoist minister in Shandong Province. Why should I offend Prince Heng's Mansion for Brother Wanchuan!"

Of course he knew that this was a big deal, at least tens of thousands of taels of big deal. The Heng Palace would not give up such a big deal at all. Even if he let it go temporarily this year, he would definitely make a comeback next year. If he agreed to Wang Daoyi, he would definitely offend the Heng Palace. However, Liu Peng also had his own set of rhetoric: "So Mr. Wanchuan specially asked me to take a mountain cocoon silk as a thank-you gift!"

Speaking of this, Liu Peng took out the silk silk cloth he brought with him and placed it carefully on the table. Huang Tiren disagreed. He had done all the officials in Beijing and foreign officials over the years. When he first received the gift, he felt a little embarrassed and had to refuse and kneel down crying three or five times. Now that others don’t give him gifts, he feels that they have objections to him, and often they charge dozens or hundreds of taels.

But he didn't know that the money he collected as a prefect was at least a few hundred or thousands of taels, and there was only a scholar named Huang Tiren. Others thought he was too easy to bully, so they just used 180 taels of silver to fool him. In fact, the housekeeper of the Huang Mansion could receive this number. Everyone knew that as long as they went through the Huang Mansion and other families, the matter would be finalized. Huang Mansion would just give some ideas at will.

However, for Huang Tiren, Liu Peng's mountain cocoon silk was too lighter, so light that he felt that Wang Daoyi looked down on him too much. Liu Peng touched the mountain cocoon silk material and said, "The reason why Mr. Wang asked me to only use this mountain cocoon silk is because although the gift is light, it has the style of a humble gentleman, which is suitable for the character of Mingfu."

Huang Tiren has always regarded himself as a scholar with a swallow-chin. As the saying goes, "Three thousand guests are drunk in the hall, and one sword is cold in the frost and the fourteen states are cold." The scholar is very enthusiastic. When he heard Liu Peng say this, he was so happy in his heart. He couldn't help but touch the material of the mountain cocoon. This mountain cocoon is different from the lake silk. It feels much thicker but more elastic. It looks not ostentatious but can withstand the wind, dust, snow and rain. Even if you wear it for twenty or thirty years, it will not be too ostentatious. It is not like the lake silk that is too ostentatious. As soon as you wear it out, someone will point fingers, which is what Liu Peng said, "It has the style of a humble gentleman."

Therefore, Huang Tiren's mood inexplicably improved. He felt that the mountain cocoon silk that Liu Peng gave was very considerate. He was the humble gentleman in ancient books as gentle as jade. He couldn't help but smile, but his tone was still a little stiff: "Mr. Wanchuan is so careful. Since he knows that this mountain cocoon silk is a good thing, can he have to take it out even if he just packs?"

This is to blame Wang Daoyi and Liu Peng for their gifts being too light and insincere, but Liu Peng laughed: "Wang is always thinking about the people of Dengzhou..."

Speaking of this, Liu Peng made a long story short and introduced in detail to Huang Tiren the method of Hengwangfu to acquire mountain silk and the advantages and disadvantages. However, no matter how long he made a long story short, it took him half a quarter of an hour. Huang Tiren also suddenly realized: "So that's the case, but I read too little books."

No wonder everyone thinks that Huang Tiren is a scholar who is easy to fool. When others hear that the Heng Palace has taken so many benefits and profits, they must have thought, "Why don't you tell me half of it after I made so much money for the Heng Palace?" However, Huang's idea was that "I read too little books."

But although he knew that the Heng Palace had taken such a big advantage in this business, Huang Tiren felt that he should not intervene too deeply: "Mr. Liu, you and Brother Wanchuan are for the sake of the people of Dengzhou. The Heng Palace is not authentic enough, but after all, they have some friendship with me, and I am the one who will leave immediately. Don't worry about collecting silk, but I will never give you any signs."

Liu Peng said, "Huang Ming Mansion, this mountain cocoon silk is a good thing!"

I know that this mountain cocoon silk is a good thing, but no matter how good it is, I haven't seen you give me a few pieces. If you give me ten and twenty pieces, I will leave soon. Maybe I will help you get this matter done, but you only send one mountain cocoon silk over. Why should I offend the Heng Palace for a mountain cocoon silk? You must know that the Heng Palace has some friendship and some relatives with me at least.

"I know mountain cocoon silk is a good thing, and it is thoughtful to wear it on your body. It does have the spirit of a gentleman. But taking money is like killing a parent. I have to be an official in the Shandong ground in the future. I don't want to be too stiff with the Heng Palace. You also know that Governor Hong was transferred to Nanjing when he offended the Heng Palace!"

However, Huang Tiren's words always make people feel that "sending a few more mountain cocoon silk may help you." However, Liu Peng's next sentence made Huang Gongfu understand that he is not just about giving a few mountain cocoon silk, or why the white family only gave one mountain cocoon silk: "But these mountain cocoon silk are prepared to be sent to Songjiang Prefecture, and are preparing to dock in Shanghai County!"

Huang Tiren's breathing became rapid: "Songjiang Mansion?"

"Yes, we sent it to Shanghai County, Songjiang Prefecture. Our Dengzhou Prefecture does not have enough looms. Even if we have a loom, we can't make good materials. We have to send it to Songjiang Prefecture. We can only deliver it to Shanghai County first. Only the weaving houses there can eat these thousands of thousands of mountain cocoon silk."

Huang Tiren is a famous scholar in Songjiang Prefecture. He is from Shanghai County. Since the Huang family has had a father and son, he is naturally the top famous family in Songjiang Prefecture. If there is any dilemma in the local area, he will ask Huang Tiren for help. Regardless of whether it is reasonable or not, Huang Tiren is a scholar and is a scholar. He will definitely come forward to help the people in his hometown.

People in this time and space have a strong sense of hometown, and they all pay attention to returning to their roots. Even those Huizhou people who have been living in Shandong for generations have even been unable to even speak Huizhou dialect and have never returned to their hometown in Huizhou once in their lifetime, and still regard Xin'an as their real homeland. Although Huang Tiren is away from home, he knows his destination best and is preparing to return to Shanghai to retire, so he also attaches great importance to the interests of Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County.

So he immediately asked, "Are you really going to send it to Songjiang Prefecture?"

"I originally planned to go to Suzhou Prefecture, but Songjiang Prefecture is more convenient to be by the sea. Moreover, Ming Prefecture is Shanghai, and it is suitable for both people and land. So after discussing with Mr. Wang, I thought it would be better to transport it to Shanghai County!"

As long as the mountain silk is transported to Songjiang Prefecture, the weaver households in Songjiang Prefecture and Shanghai County can smile, and the local famous families behind the weaver house can be happy.

In recent years, Songjiang Prefecture and Suzhou Prefecture have competed very fiercely in the silk industry. Suzhou has completely crushed Songjiang Prefecture with its scale advantage. Shanghai weavers often suffer from the closure of rice-free pots.

The best raw silk in the world are the Hu silk in Zhejiang, Hangzhou Prefecture and Jiaxing Prefecture are also the top-notch raw silk. However, Songjiang Prefecture is clearly only a short distance from Zhejiang, but the raw silk in Zhejiang is more expensive and more enjoyable because Suzhou Prefecture offers more money. In addition to some of the raw silk being left locally for processing, six or seven out of ten are sent to Suzhou Prefecture. Shanghai's weaving peers are often forced to close their business due to no rice.

Huang Tiren spent the first half of his life in Shanghai, and there were more than a dozen looms under his name. Naturally, he knew the special significance of a stable supply of raw silk to Songjiang Prefecture. However, Suzhou Prefecture's weaving industry is the best in the world, and the most looms are the best in the world, so he naturally could open a higher price to take away all the raw silk from Zhejiang, which made Songjiang Prefecture's weaving industry breathless.

However, Wang Daoyi and Liu Peng gave an extremely heavy gift. They had to transport thousands of dans of raw silk to Songjiang Mansion a year, which was enough to maintain how many looms? Huang Ti Ren couldn't learn the calculation well and could not calculate the clear number for a while, but they also knew that it was definitely an amazing big number. The weaving industry in the entire Songshan Mansion had hope.

Although this mountain silk is not as good as mulberry silk, it is ultimately the most precious silk. Not to mention thousands of tons or hundreds of tons are transported to Songjiang Prefecture, it can solve the current urgent needs of Songjiang Prefecture. For Songjiang Prefecture, this is a great thing.

Although Huang Tiren himself may not get much benefit, for Huang Tiren, this surprise is better than giving him ten or hundreds of mountain cocoon silk. As for the relationship between Heng Palace and him, how can he achieve the amazing achievements of Deze Township?

He immediately changed his statement: "Brother Wanchuan cares for the countryside. This is a big deal. However, Prince Heng's Mansion will not come to Dengzhou Prefecture to collect silk threads within three to five years. I'm afraid he will have to trouble Brother Wanchuan for another three to five years. It's best to keep doing it!"

As the saying goes, the political situation is over. He is the one who leaves office soon. Even if he does not leave this month, he will leave next month or next month. What can really affect the silk collection this season, but he really wants to transport all the mountain silk from Dengzhou to Songjiang Prefecture.
