C1095 The Boss Mi who Showed off his might (1/2)
The Prime Minister's Manor's banquet had already reached its climax. Wine and delicacies were being consumed like flowing water, and the fireworks outside had already been going on for three consecutive hours without end.
Outside the Prime Minister's Manor, more and more people were celebrating. Almost everyone was talking about the Chinese Statute Book and thinking about the terms of the Chinese Statute Book.
It was impossible for everyone to understand the profound meaning behind Chinese Statute Book. In fact, most people chose to trust Xiao Letian because of their blind worship towards him, so they naturally believed that a prime minister who brought them away from the Japanese Shimadzu Family's colonization and led them to a good life would not harm everyone.
Moreover, Xiao Letian had not lost a single time since he led his troops into politics. This was also the root of the people's worship towards him.
In truth,'s personal worship was only one of the reasons why the citizens accepted the Chinese Statute Book. More importantly, it was due to jealousy and envy.
Around 4am in the morning, the number one grain merchant in Ryukyu, Shopkeeper Mi, walked out unsteadily from Prime Minister's Manor. Two servants stood beside him and helped him into the palanquin, but Shopkeeper Mi pushed aside the servants and chose to walk home. He wanted to enjoy this moment of glory.
Along the way home, Keeper Mi didn't even know how he managed to walk on cotton and returned home. All he remembered was that he cried and smiled along the way.
All the people on the road who knew him were looking at him with respect. Some of them even bowed to him. The Keeper Mi was no longer an ordinary person. Although he was a baron, he was still a miracle for a businessman!
What were those red-crowned merchants of the Great Qing Dynasty considered? The imperial government had bestowed upon them a few useless heads. A mere sixth or seventh rank position, yet they were so excited about the Ancestral Hall burning incense. Hu Xueyan was the number one god of wealth in Jiangnan, but what rank did the imperial government give him? The substitute said! It was only a fourth rank post.
Mi Fei laughed until his teeth were bared, he muttered to himself and said, ”I am a noble too, hahaha …” The Mi Family's ancestor appeared! I want to rebuild my ancestral tomb, I want to beat the ground with limestone, I want to arch it with green brick, I can also put on the outside of my grandfather's coffin … This will anger those people who looked down on me back then to death! ”Hahaha …”
”And that Old Wang next door, he's comparing himself to me every day! Compared today, why don't you compare with me! The ceremony system of the sixth and eighteenth ranks will be introduced soon. When the time comes, my house will always be taller than yours, and the decorations will always be more beautiful than yours! ”
Wealth does not return to the village like silk clothes at night! Boss Mi completely understood the meaning of these words. As he got closer and closer to his home, he met with more and more familiar people, until finally, there were people who kneeled down before him.
First, the children and grandchildren of each family. They climbed up the long street and kowtowed to Keeper Mi as they greeted him, ”Greetings to your Lordship …” Give Lord Mi a question mark... Uncle, Uncle, you have to give me some rewards! ” The messy crowd of children roared, Mi Fei laughed until his eyes became slits.
”Reward! Reward!” Go to the store and bring out all the silver taels there, as a reward! ” The waiter of the rice shop was so excited that his face was flushed. Under the orders of the young master, he carried out the Dragon-striated Silver Coin that was as slow as a mountain with a big basket.
Silver coins rolled on the street, the adults and children all grabbed them, Mi Fei laughed while clapping his hands.
Next to Boss Mi was a silk shop. Shopkeeper Wang could be said to be the largest silk merchant in the Ryukyu. Normally, he would fight with Mi Fei for wealth, and even in the repair shop, he would stealthily push the eaves of the house an inch above Old Mi's, fighting for this Mi Fei who had brought him here.
But today, Manager Wang who was in front of Boss Mi had a completely different appearance. His face had a weird expression, as if he was seriously constipated, when he saw Mi Fei return, he ran over from afar and bowed while bowing.
