   Chapter 3389 They are unlucky when they meet the fourth master

Yan Yan sighed and said with a smile: "The slave servant has followed the empress for many years, and she is considered to be well-informed and seen in the world, but today, seeing the wealth of these big families, she still feels that she used to be a real frog in the well. These few The big family is really rich!"

   Mu Jin also smiled and sighed: "Who said no, Ben Gong is the same as you, this time it's an eye-opener."

   You must know that this selection and presentation to the fourth master is only the tip of the iceberg, not the big one.

   It is conceivable how rich these Jiangnan nobles are!

  It's no wonder, they would rather stir the wind and stir the rain and collude with the courtiers behind the scenes to mess up the court arrangement and fight against the fourth master, rather than spit out the meat in their mouths.

   Such a big piece of meat, such a huge profit and benefit, it is enough to dazzle the mind and confuse the mind, where is it willing to give up?

  If the Supreme Emperor is still in power at this moment, maybe they will succeed.

   After all, the Supreme Emperor has always been gentle, and the older he gets, the better his temperament. These rich people in the south of the Yangtze River are very rich, and there is no reason to be caught for evil deeds on the bright side, and from time to time they will do some good deeds to accumulate reputation. In addition, there are people in the court who say good things, it is impossible for the emperor to be too high. Get hands on them.

   The most important thing is that it is impossible for Taishanghuang to know how rich they are and how profitable they are.

   When they meet the fourth master, they are unlucky.

   In fact, Mu Jin even guessed that the fourth master might be similar to himself, but underestimated them. He didn't expect their wealth to be so rich.

   If it was sent to me alone, there are five of the finest red corals that are more than four feet tall, and those under two feet cannot be seen.

  All kinds of rubies, sapphires, tourmalines, cat's eyes, emeralds and other uninlaid rough stones are packed in two wooden boxes with a length of more than two feet and a height of more than two feet.

  Mu Jin opened it with confidence, and the smallest one was the size of a thumb.

  Because many objects come from overseas, there are many Western self-ringing bells inlaid with gold and treasures, intricate and exquisite in workmanship and in different shapes, and there are 26 pieces sent to the fourth master. Some of them are almost taller than people. They are skillfully made of gold and precious stones to make various scene characters, controlled by exquisite gears and organs. When telling the time, the little people will dance, and the birds will chirp and dance. Huan is no exaggeration.

  There are also many kinds of spices, all of which are top-quality items. There are other kinds of jewelry, curios, calligraphy and painting, antiques, furniture and so on.

   Mu Jin teased that these things had to be transported back to Beijing, fearing that an extra large ship would have to be prepared.

  The Fourth Master looked at these things, happy and angry at the same time, and made up his mind. After the sea ban is lifted, he must send his confidant ministers in charge, and send courtiers to check the accounts every year. The temptation here is too great.

   Before leaving Hangzhou City, the Fourth Master ordered to hold a banquet to entertain local and surrounding officials and the famous families of the squires.

   is now in the aftermath and will not expand or involve anyone.

   As long as they are well behaved and keep themselves safe, they can keep their peace.

   Hearing the news of the Fourth Master's banquet, and receiving the invitation, everyone was really relieved, and their hearts were completely relieved.

   This turmoil is almost over. . .
