After three rounds of wine and five dishes, the banquet was over. It was the Du family who hosted the noon banquet in the post house. The cooks and maids they transferred from Furong House made the reception feast sumptuous and delicious, and the guests were full of praise.

Since there are many officials and eunuchs accompanying them, it is impossible to bring them all to a noisy restaurant to dine. Therefore, as a rule, a welcome banquet is held in the post house. After completing their official duties, the merchants and gentry will privately invite the Jinling envoys.

Go to the banquet alone in the restaurant, separate from this public banquet.

After everyone moved to the front hall and took their seats, and fragrant tea was served, today's tribute party officially kicked off.

Du Qingyun, as the president of the Jiangzuo Chamber of Commerce, asked Gao Yuan, the transfer envoy of the capital, "Master Gao, can we start?"

Gao Yuan nodded slightly and said, "Okay, let's get started."

Du Qingyun stood up, first made an opening statement, and then summarized the Jiangzuo Chamber of Commerce's business in the past year, such as what new silk products have appeared; Tianshui Bi's printing and dyeing technology has made breakthroughs; how to expand the production of silk, and the price compared with Jiangbei Song Dynasty

The land is one-third lower. How can Runzhou's tea and vinegar become top-grade products, surpassing those of other places?

Gao Yuan and several eunuchs in the palace were delighted after hearing this. This Runzhou City is indeed a place with outstanding people and rich products!

After summarizing, Du Qingyun said: "As usual, the nine major families in Jiangzuo will introduce their tributes and lists first. In the past two years, my Du family has been the president, so I will speak on behalf of the Du family first.

Everyone nodded, agreed a few times, and entered into the process of self-recommended tributes.

Du Qingyun continued: "The Du family has always been engaged in wine-making. This year, they launched two new wines. One is called "Qunfeizui", which is specially brewed for the palace and the female relatives of powerful families. The wine is not strong and mellow.

Fragrant and fragrant. Another wine is also made by the royal family, called 'Chaolu Bai', which is perfected on the basis of 'Ganlu Bai' and is more suitable for the palace to drink..."

"Du's winemaking has been famous for centuries. Now that we have new wines, we will definitely make progress." Gao Yuan commented.

"Thank you, Lord Gao, for your compliment!" Du Qingyun smiled slightly, stepped back and sat back in his seat.

Next, the head of the Murong family appeared. The Murong family's main business is cloth business. Almost one-third of the textile cloth in Runzhou is processed in the Murong family's workshop. He raised his hands and said: "Master Gao, envoys, I

The Murong family has renovated the spinning wheel. Nowadays, the processing speed of silk fabrics continues to increase, and the quality is also better. For example, at the end of last year, they successfully processed a kind of fine yarn called 'Xinggu yarn', which is woven with pure silk and banana bones, which is cool and comfortable.

Now that we are entering midsummer, this new gauze material has entered the palace and the houses of Jinling dignitaries and has been made into outer garments. It is bound to set off a trend!"

Cao Zifeng, the eunuch of the Provincial Shangshe Bureau in the palace, and Wei Shan eunuch, the eunuch of the Provincial Bureau of Internal Affairs, all looked at each other after hearing this. The concubines in the palace like the silk fabrics of the Murong family very much, and now there is a new bone yarn.

, you can also ask for some rewards and praise when you go back to do business.

Next it was the turn of the Yan family. The Yan family in Runzhou is also engaged in cloth business, but mainly in printing and dyeing. The Yan family has improved the 'Tianshui Bi' printing and dyeing technology, and turned the light blue color into a uniform color.

It was a more pleasing and natural color. When I said it now, everyone praised it, and even the messengers in the palace smiled.

As we all know, the official and the queen in the Jinling Palace liked the color of Tianshui very much. As a result, the maids in the palace all wore colorful palace skirts of this color. Looking around, it looked like the blue sky washed away, which was particularly eye-catching and full of colors.

The beauty of sky blue.

Subsequently, several other big families also told about the tributes and new products reported this time. The Yu family's piano shop and various orchestral instruments are all top-grade in the Southern Tang Dynasty. The Pan family's balsamic vinegar, mature vinegar, spices, cooking condiments, etc.

There are also many specialties, including several kinds of tea from the Lu family, turbid wine from the Fan family, and gold and silverware are also signatures.

The main businesses of these big families have large annual output. In addition to Runzhou and Jinling, foreign trade is also the main force.

At this time, it was the Ding family's turn to introduce. Ding Yuexi stood up, glanced at Bai Susu with a sneer, and then walked into the center of the field.

Most of the merchants and squires present were fine people. As soon as they saw the head of the Ding family appearing, they knew that today's tribute selection was about to happen.

Ding Yuexi stood up, looked around, and said loudly: "My Ding family has been making porcelain for forty years. Celadon has always been the main business. Although there are many other porcelains, they are not included in the main business. But today

Times are different from the past. The Ding family's white porcelain has also been fired into high-quality products, and it is more detailed. The glaze color and printing have also made progress, and it is no less textured than the Ding family's celadon. Therefore, this time, the Ding family chose porcelain as a tribute to the court.

The family can definitely act as an agent, and the price of celadon and white porcelain can be bundled and purchased by another 20% compared to previous years. If all the family owners present choose to cooperate, the price will also be reduced by 20% compared to previous years!"

When everyone heard this, they all showed strange colors. Celadon and white porcelain were bundled and sold together. The output was huge, the price was reduced by 20%, and the profits were definitely compressed. The Ding family would rather make less money than destroy the Bai family.

.

Gao Yuan, the envoy of the capital transfer, Cao Zifeng, the imperial minister of the Shangshe Bureau, Wei Shan, the prime minister of the Internal Affairs Bureau, and others all looked surprised. After thinking about it, they realized that this was the Ding family who wanted to monopolize the porcelain business and took this opportunity to suppress the Bai family.

.

"Oh, how is your Ding family's white porcelain fired? Do you have a sample?" Eunuch Wei Shan asked.

Ding Yuexi smiled and said: "If I get back to Eunuch Wei, the Ding family's white porcelain is exquisite and has been fired. It can be inspected on the spot!"

After finishing speaking, Ding Yuexi ordered the servants waiting outside to bring in several pieces of white porcelain, including teapots, teacups, porcelain vases, porcelain bowls, plates, etc., and handed them over to the transfer envoy and the eunuch envoy to take a look at them.

Let the many family heads present see it, achieving the purpose of establishing prestige and publicity.

Seeing his brother-in-law's remarkable performance, Governor Yin smiled and nodded.

"Oh, it is indeed fine white porcelain!"

"Yes, it is no different from the Bai family's white porcelain. It is also the finest porcelain."

"In the future, the Ding family will take over the firing of celadon and white porcelain, and the scale of the porcelain business will double!"

"The price is now low. From now on, we can just buy porcelain from the Ding family. This is more convenient. In the past, it was a bit troublesome every time we went to the two houses to discuss business."

The merchants and gentry present were adding fuel to the fire, their reputation for the Ding family was constantly improving, and they intended to follow suit and suppress the Bai family.

Shopping malls are like battlefields. For many merchants, if the nine major families become eight major families, then the second-rate families will lose the oppression of a wealthy businessman family, and the first-rate families will also have more resources. Therefore, it is good to see that there is competition between the families.

In a fierce battle, it is best for both sides to suffer losses, and they will benefit.

After reading it, Gao Yuan nodded slightly. If the Ding family could really provide both celadon and white porcelain, the price would be 20% lower than before. This would be a good thing for the royal family and other merchants.

"The Ding family has made progress in the porcelain industry. I wonder if the Bai family has made any progress this year?" Gao Yuan looked at Bai Susu and gave the Bai family a chance to fight. If they fail to impress the Jinling envoys, then the Bai family will be eliminated.

Well, in the future, the Ding family will grow bigger and the Bai family will decline, which is unstoppable.

For a moment, everyone turned their attention to Bai Susu to see how she would make a comeback.
Chapter completed!
