Chapter 54 What a big marriage, what a big melon! (Please collect it, vote for me, recommend me, and read more)

"That's okay, that's okay. Just scold him Yi a few times. After all, Yi is still Nong's son-in-law!"

Although Zhuge Yangming is an old Beijinger, he has lived and worked in Shanghai for many years and can speak fluent Shanghainese. Seeing Dahei's constant temper, he tried to persuade him.

"Hey, what are you talking about?" Dahei Chang heard Zhuge Mingyang's words and almost lost his temper. He didn't care about the other person's identity and directly questioned him.

Zhuge Yangming still looked cheerful and not anxious at all. He was also a military advisor, so of course he knew that Zhuge Weidao was already one of the eighteen military advisors of the Zhuge family. With this status, it would be appropriate for a daughter of the Dahei family to serve as a concubine.

There is nothing wrong with this - this "side room" is a Japanese concept, smaller than the main wife and older than the concubine. The daughter of the Dahei family can become a daughter who is only twenty-eight years old (two years later, Zhuge Weidao was twenty-eight years old)

)'s side room as the military advisor of the Zhuge family is definitely not a loss. It is also very cost-effective to even let the son of Zhuge Weidao and Daheikong become the next head of the Dahei family.

Anyone who does big business knows that it is very important to choose a direction. If you choose the wrong route, no matter how hard you try, it will be in vain. If you choose the right route, you will get twice the result with half the effort, and you can even make money easily. Look at the Zhuge family for more than a hundred years

Come and find out how you make money!

Therefore, having Zhuge's father who is good at pinching and calculating is really beneficial to the Dahei family's business.

However, the identity of Zhuge Weidao's military advisor is kept secret for the time being, and Zhuge Yangming cannot tell Dahei Changshi clearly. He can only wave his feather fan and hold out two fingers and say: "Two years, you let the little girl wait for two years.

I promise you won’t suffer any loss. You must believe me!”

"Two years? Why are you so happy?" Dahei Chang waved his hand and said, "It's not like my daughter can't get married. As you know, Shimazu Saiaki, the lord of Satsuma and Shimazu, has sent people to Shanghai to propose marriage.

Sora marries Qi Liang, the successor of the Satsuma clan, to be a big wife!"

"Hahaha," Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "a bunch of poor people want money from me. This Shimadzu has controlled me for millions and still can't pay it out. They also want to marry my daughter. It's a big deal if I agree."

Got it!"

"Yi is the master of a vassal after all!" Daheichang shook his head repeatedly, "And this sister Qi Liang is also the eldest wife of the general, and she cannot afford to offend her!"

Hearing what Dahei Chang said, Zhuge Yangming already understood that this Dahei profiteer already wanted to marry his daughter to Shimazu Qi Liang, but this was not allowed!

Then Zhuge Yangming's face darkened, and even his accent changed to a strong Beijing dialect: "Brother Chang, the fate of your love and my 108th uncle was calculated by the great military advisor! The great military advisor calculated it.

How can the cause and fate be inaccurate? You have to think clearly!"

"Did the military advisor calculate it?" Daheichang was shocked, "Why has no one mentioned it before?"

If Daikokusuna was just a poor samurai with one sword and one life, of course he wouldn't have to be afraid of the Zhuge family's great strategist, but he is one of the four richest chaebols in Japan. And the Zhuge family can just stop the Daikoku family.

Neck, let their family live or die.

The reason for this is that the minting business of the Dahei family has long been a business of printing and issuing banknotes. In fact, the so-called "silver yuan" of the Ming Dynasty are mainly paper currency. Most of the real silver yuan and gold coins are more expensive than the silver yuan.

, are now just reserves piled in the Central Bank of the Ming Dynasty, which are used to maintain the "gold and silver composite standard" of silver yuan.

Japan also completed the paper currency reform during the Kansei years of Tokugawa Ieki's pro-government and issued banknotes called "Nihon Notes". However, due to the shogunate's long-term financial difficulties in making ends meet, there were several records of issuing bad currency before.

Therefore, there was a lack of credit and reserves to support banknotes. In desperation, the shogunate did not establish a central bank. Instead, the Daikuro family's Ginza, the Goto family's Kinza and the Tagawa family's money bank served as the "royal banknote-issuing bank."

to issue "Japanese Notes", and at the same time let the mining Sumitomo family participate in the three major banks to strengthen the credibility of the three major banks. However, the brands of the four major chaebols, Daikoku, Goto, Tagawa, and Sumitomo, are still very strong in Japan.

. Almost all the feudal lords owed them money, and other wealthy merchants had to conduct various financial businesses through the "seats" and "houses" they started, so the "Nihon Notes" they issued still circulated smoothly in Japan.

. But Daikokusune, a chaebol leader of this level, knows very well that what really determines the value of the Japanese currency is not the four major chaebols, but the financial market in Shanghai!

As long as the price of the bonds of the "Three Blocks" can still be maintained on the Shanghai Stock Exchange, then the "Japanese Notes" issued by the Three Blocks will not be run - all banknotes in this era are "cashable"

Paper money can be exchanged for corresponding gold and silver at the banknote-issuing bank. However, Japan's gold and silver reserves are insufficient and it is difficult to cope with a run on paper money.

To maintain the prices of the three major bonds, the chaebols who control the three majors must get the support of the Ming Capital Group headed by the Zhuge family and the Zheng family. In the past hundred years, although the Ming Dynasty did not use force to conquer Japan

, but financial and economic penetration and control have not been lost!

Seeing Dahei Changshi's expression, Zhuge Yangming knew that this profiteer would not dare to go against the great military advisor. So he calmly said: "This is a secret! Brother Chang, this secret. I have revealed it.

It’s up to you whether you want to listen or not!”

After saying this, Zhuge Yangming stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Brother, I have a social event tonight, so I won't interrupt you and say goodbye!"

Daheichang saw Zhuge Yangming about to leave and quickly said: "Wait a minute."

Zhuge Yangming stopped and looked at Dahei.

Da Hei said: "I wonder when the wedding between Zi and Grand Duchess Natalie will be held? I want to take my daughter to have a wedding drink."

Zhuge Yangming smiled and said, "Are you just asking for a wedding drink?"

Dahei Chang sighed and said: "There is no way for a girl to be admitted to college. Although Zhuge Daozi is unlucky, but my daughter is deeply in love with him, why don't I just let her go to high school in Beijing."

"That's right!" Zhuge Yangming said with a smile, "June 15th, Beijing Xishan, how about we take a trip together?"

"Okay!" Dahei Chang said, "That's it!"

The fifteenth day of June in the sixth year of Taiping in the Ming Dynasty is a time for marriage, sacrifices, prayers, and alliances for good luck and good fortune.

The sound of crackling firecrackers sounded, and crowds of people crowded around the Xishan Palace at the foot of the Xishan Mountain in Beijing. Everyone crowded at the gate and looked inside with joy. Grand Duchess Natalie, who was about to get married from here, could come to Xishan today to watch the excitement.

Not to mention having a good reputation, he is also a well-informed person. Of course they know who this Natalie is?

The original candidate queen is now married to the "silly fox" of the Zhuge family, and this matter is also supported by the Queen Mother. Is there anything bigger than this? This can be made into a drama.

!

So although Zhuge Weidao didn't want to make a big deal, he could just invite two thousand guests casually. But there were so many people who wanted to come to have a wedding banquet that he couldn't bear it! The seven major aristocratic families (excluding the Zhuge aristocratic family) and the noble families all over Beijing

, they can all be friends with the Zhuge family, and they are all close friends!

Therefore, there are more and more names on the guest list. If Zhuge Weidao's wedding was not held in a hurry, the number of guests who came to watch the theater might have exceeded 10,000! But even though the wedding was held in a hurry and low-key,

On June 15th, the number of guests who came to Xishan to drink still exceeded 3,800! Including their entourage, the number was 17,800!

Zhuge Weidao couldn't even open his own Xishan Villa, so he temporarily borrowed Zhuge Weixue's villa to set up a small two thousand table.

And Empress Dowager Zheng did work hard on this matter. She not only transferred a large number of black eunuchs and Japanese maids from the palace to serve in Xishan, but also transferred hundreds of cooks from inside and outside the palace, and also had people working in the palace.

Temporary kitchens were set up in Xishan Palace, Wuxiang Houfu Courtyard and Zhuge Weidao's villa, and they were very busy.

In addition, she also lent her Xishan Palace to Natalie as a temporary natal house so that Natalie could get married from here.

She also used the opportunity of organizing the wedding for her "godbrother" to invite the heads of eight aristocratic families to Xishan Palace as guests. At this moment, she was dragging the young emperor Zhu Xijin to talk with these heads of aristocratic families in the main hall of Xishan Palace.

About another big wedding.
