"The road of life is like a long road, the wind and frost on the road, the wind and frost are dry. In the world, there are a few directions for beautiful dreams. Find the love of the dream center, and the road follows the vastness of people..."

Accompanied by a singing voice, the shadow puppet ended, the curtains on both sides opened, the sunlight leaked in, the light in the theater was made, Yang Xuangan held an empty popcorn paper bag, and it took him a while to recall that it was now day.

"Brother Xiao Wu, please."

Yuwen Shiwu raised his glass beside him, and Yang Xuangan immediately picked up the cup on the table, and then faced Yuwen Shiwu across the air, and drank it all in one go.

"Yuwen Sima, this shadow play is indeed well-known." After drinking soda, Yang Xuangan suppressed the urge to hiccup and praised: "Changlefang is no less than the ones in Chang'an and Yecheng."

"Where is the remote place in Xiyang, the small Changlefang, how dare you compare with Chang'an and Yecheng's Lefang."

"Yuwen Sima should not underestimate himself. In my opinion, this Xiyang shadow puppet has excellent sound and smooth plots. If it is staged in Chang'an and Yecheng, there will definitely be no one who can do it."

"Oh, Xiao Wu said this, I dare not answer."

"Why do you have to punish Yuwen Sima so hard? How many cups should I get?"

"Three cups, three cups! No matter how much you have, you can't drink it!"

In the private room, Yang Xuangan and Yuwen Shiwu praised each other again. Although they had only been together for a few days, they were now sitting together like friends for many years, not to mention that they spoke in Guanzhong accents. They seemed particularly friendly in Shannan, which was full of Chuyin.

These days, the emperor has been attending lectures in the state school. In order to show his favorability, he specially designed to wear light clothes and follow the rules. This way, the imperial guards seemed a little redundant, and Yang Xuangan, as a little palace uncle, was naturally much bored.

As soon as people get free, there will be more social engagements. Yang Xuangan has no relatives and friends in Huangzhou, but he has Yuwen Shiwu, a "people from Guanzhong" and Yuwen Shiwu, who is a Sima of Huangzhou, is considered the host, so it is reasonable to invite his fellow villager Yang Xuangan to drink.

If we say it on the table, it is taboo to have too many contacts with the generals of the imperial guards. If we look at it, Yang Xuangan, who was born from the Hongnong Yang family and the son of an official, and Yuwen Shiwu, who was born from a slave, was originally apart from the noble and humble state, and should not be mixed together.

However, the situation is special now, and no one will use "internal and external" as an example. If you follow the official position, Yang Xuangan is the official of the fourth destiny, and Yuwen Fifteen is the Sima of the Eight Destiny (the number of households in Huangzhou exceeds 30,000, which is the Eight Destiny State). The rank is the six destiny, which is three levels higher than Yang Xuangan, which is enough to smooth out the differences in origin.

According to the instructions of King Yuwen of Xiyang, Yuwen Wen, Yuwen, he tried his best to establish good relationships with the people around the emperor, be a good host and make good relationships, and do not expect to become allies, at least not let the other party feel neglected.

So he treated him as soon as he had the chance, and his face was flushed for days.

Yuwen Shiwu is the best at eating, drinking and having fun. When he was still in Chang'an, the children of powerful men formed small circles, flying eagles and dogs all day long to find joy. Yuwen Shiwu followed the man Yuwen Wen to mingle in different small circles, and had never seen or played with anything.

Yang Xuangan, who is also in the social circle of powerful children, is also very proficient in food, drinking and having fun. Chang'an is a first-class metropolis in the world. He has never seen any world before, so the two veterans who play the show fall together and they instantly start to burn like dry firewood.

Yuwen Shiwu is the big boss behind Changlefang. He has taken various entertainment projects in his own industry, which makes Yang Xuangan feel like he is watching chess and awkwardly. Especially in this shadow play "A Chinese Ghost Story", various "special effects" are not available in other miscellaneous dramas.

If Yuwen Wen had not repeatedly urged the law and flesh business and strictly prohibited from having "Dong-style services", Changlefang's business would have been booming.

Although Yuwen Shiwu didn't know what "Dong-style service" is, the man said that he could not do it, so he would not do it. The man told him that he would do it well, so he would do it well. He was the most experienced in entertaining veterans like Yang Xuangan who acted in a show to make good relationships.

What is making good relationships? In fact, it is to make friends.

A gentleman is spared. He is too noble and Yuwen Shiwu can't play with it. He can detect that Yang Xuangan, the little Gong Bo, is active, and the active person, can save much more worries when dealing with him.

In short, Yuwen Shiwu wanted to reveal the "temptation" of King Xiyang to smart people. Such things can only be understood but not expressed in words, and only smart people can understand them.

What is "temptation"? That is profit.

Officials and families have great business and great expenses. They want to compete with others and show off their strengths, so they have to spend money. The servants have to wear silk and satin, and they have to use good fabrics to make steps when traveling. The food and clothing cost should not be worse than other families. This is all based on money, grain and cloth.

These expenses are not good by salary, and they are also a bit tight by fief. The ancestral cellars are hiding gold, silver and copper coins, so they cannot easily move their old capital, so they have to operate the industry.

Only by relying on the profits of operating the industry can the huge expenses of the family be supported, welcome and send off, call friends, and have fun in the air. This will cost a lot of money, grain and cloth.

The fastest and most profitable industry is usury, but there are many powerful people who release usury in Beijing and several metropolis. There are too many monks and few porridges, which lead to fierce competition. If you go to other places to issue usury, you can't compete for local tyrants. Therefore, how to operate other industries to supplement your household income is a problem that many officials must consider.

And the "temptation" of King Xiyang lies in this: cooperation and make money together.

Of course, Yuwen Shiwu could not say it straightforwardly. He asked Yang Xuan to feel that Chang Lefang was having fun, but he revealed some news from time to time during his conversation. If the other party understood, he would naturally understand it.

If you don’t understand, or pretend that you don’t understand, you will sober up that day and think that it’s not the case.

But Yuwen Shiwu was clearer, Yang Xuangan understood it. As for whether he would "cooperate" in the future, it depends on the opportunity, but Yuwen Shiwu was sure that the other party could not withstand the "temptation".

The commercial routes of Huangzhou merchants have been connected through Jiangzhou and Lingbiao. Even the specialties of Jiaozhou will arrive in Huangzhou along this commercial route, so the scale of Huangzhou's commercial route will become larger and larger.

The profit is quite large. If the industry under the name of various officials and families wants to take a sailboat and get a share of the pie, it is correct to find the King of Xiyang.

Of course, people who do business together should turn against each other at critical moments, but one friend will have more paths when doing business. This is a good fate, and of course the more you have, the better.

Yuwen Shiwu knew about the situation of Yang Xuangan and his son, so he had to work hard to win. The status of merchants has always been very low since ancient times, so it is necessary to "collude between officials and businessmen" or collude with local tyrants in various places. Only when Huangzhou merchants are in the business paths of various places can they have shelter.

He even invited Yu Wenhua and so there was no reason not to invite Yang Xuangan, who was "neutral" to come to drink.

After eating, drinking, having fun, I went through the finale, which was the gift that I liked.

Giving gifts is a skill. It is careless to stuff gold and silver into someone’s hands. It is simple and crude and has extremely poor effect. This way of giving gifts is as boring as not ordering wine and food at the music shop, and just stripping the little lady naked and pushing it down.

Yuwen Shiwu took out a set of books and said to Yang Xuangan with a smile: "Little Gong Bo, I found a set of hand-copied ancient books in the bookstore, which seems to be extremely precious. Now I am giving it to Xiao Gong Bo. This is a mere gift, please accept it."

Yang Xuangan pushed him again and again, but in the end he could not resist Yu Wen Shiwu's enthusiasm and "unable to do so" he accepted this set of "hand-copied broken copies". He quietly touched the books that claimed to be ancient books, and found that there was something in it, and he couldn't help but feel moved.

This is a thread-bound book that has only appeared in recent years. You really have the nerve to say it is an ancient book!

However, the many papers in the book are thought to be famous circulation coupons in Xiyang City?
