The Song family's industry involves all aspects of basic people's livelihood, but it has not yet been involved in entertainment-related fields.

Yu Hongxuan has already opened bookstores and theaters all over the north, so Yu Yalan will naturally not make repeated investments to compete with his younger brother.

But entertainment is not just story books and dramas, many entertainment projects can also enrich people's daily lives.

Many wealthy businessmen are willing to spend money for happiness, and Yu Yalan, who urgently needs to expand her business territory, certainly doesn't want to let it go.

The northern regions have just recovered from the war, and the current consumption capacity cannot support the operation of a huge entertainment city. However, the Jiangnan region has always been rich and peaceful, and many literati, powerful officials and nobles regard fun as an elegant thing.

After Emperor Longhe moved the capital to Jinling, most of the dignitaries and wealthy people also moved to the south of the Yangtze River. Jinling is now richer than before, and almost half of the wealth of the Great Zhou Dynasty is gathered there.

Yu Yalan, who was financially strapped, was very greedy for this, and had been suppressing the idea of ​​secretly going to Jiangnan to make money for a long time.

However, the plan to go to Jiangnan to build an entertainment city is too risky. If you are not careful, your identity may be exposed, and you may even be profited by local dignitaries or Emperor Longhe.

The palace currently does not have many connections in Jiangnan, so it is simply impossible to protect such a huge industry.

But it would be a pity to give up easily, so Yu Yalan planned to brainstorm to solve related problems.

Song Xi read her plan carefully, and after thinking for a while, she said: "Actually, we don't have no connections in Jiangnan. My sister-in-law's father happens to be the prefect of Suzhou, and he has been secretly passing on Jiangnan's information to us in recent years.

The news can be regarded as the most reliable backbone of the palace in the south. Since it is imperative to build an entertainment city, we might as well discuss it with the sworn brother and his wife."

Yu Yalan's eyes lit up when she heard this, and she quickly sent someone to Xu's house to invite Xu Yongnian and his wife.

"If you didn't tell me, I would have almost forgotten that we still have such an ally in Jiangnan! The protection of the Suzhou prefect should be enough, but if it doesn't work, we can also give up some benefits. The more complicated the situation, the more suitable it is for fishing in troubled waters, and this entertainment city is definitely

It can be built!”

Song Xi chuckled and scratched her nose, feeling very happy looking at his excited wife.

"This is the right time to build the entertainment city. If it were later, it might be troublesome. We will send people to Jiangnan by then, so that we can deploy in advance and understand the situation in the south."

Yu Yalan nodded with a crooked eyebrow, and the two continued to discuss the details of the plan in depth.

Not long after, Xu Yongnian and his wife arrived, and the four of them sat together and talked about the construction plan of the entertainment city.

When they learned that Song Xi and Yu Yalan wanted to build a large-scale entertainment city in Jiangnan, Xu Yongnian and his wife were shocked and dumbfounded.

After reading the contents of the plan in detail, the two of them had to admire Yu Yalan's boldness and wisdom.

The current main enemies of the Song family are basically concentrated in the south. If they can build an entertainment city, they will definitely gain endless profits.

In addition to earning money to solve financial problems, what men value more is that they can use it to spread their business in Jiangnan.

They can send civil and military talents to Jiangnan to investigate and investigate clearly the details of the Jinling royal family and the major forces in the south. Song Xi has also trained many excellent spies over the years. With a disguise, he can try to sneak into the official circles of Jiangnan.

However, Jiangnan is far away from the capital, and communication is separated by the military blockade between the north and the south. If you want to promote this project and take care of the entertainment city, the construction details must be carefully planned.

The specific location of the entertainment city, the selection of management personnel and undercover talents, and the retreat of the entertainment city and its associates after the unfortunate exposure are all important elements that require careful planning.

Xu Yongnian frowned and thought deeply for a while, then suggested: "In that case, let's decide on the location of the entertainment city in Suzhou? My father-in-law is quite prestigious in Suzhou, and he has been favored by the Jinling royal family in recent years to protect the entertainment city.

The city should not be a problem. Of course, if you want to be absolutely sure, it is best to give 10% or 20% of the profits to the emperor. This will better block the covetousness of most powerful people, and it will also make it easier for us to place spies in the Jinling Palace."

Yu Yalan nodded in agreement, "We originally planned this, but... we were a little worried about Uncle Jiang's situation. It was not easy for him to send news on weekdays. If we use his power to build an entertainment city, would it expose the relationship between uncle and the capital?

Relationship? It is not difficult for our people to evacuate Jiangnan, but Uncle Jiang still has family relatives in Suzhou..."

Jiang Yuying on the side felt her heart warm when she heard this, and explained softly: "Brothers and sisters, don't worry, not many people in Jiangnan have seen me, even the relatives of the clan only know that there is a weak and sick third lady in our family, but if

My name and where I married are only known to my parents and brothers, and the Jiang family will not expose the details easily."

When Jiang Yuying was young, her health was so poor that she could hardly go out to see the wind. Later, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother invited countless doctors and eminent monks to treat her, and then they managed to find a slightly mysterious way to save her life - making a reservation with a boy with a specific horoscope.

Kiss the baby.

After years of searching and twists and turns, Jiang's father and Jiang's mother finally found Xu Yongnian, who was living anonymously in the Song family. The Jiang family discussed with Song Haocang, who was in great power at the time, and arranged a baby marriage for the two children with their consent.

.

After getting engaged, Jiang Yuying's health improved significantly, and her overall complexion and condition became stronger day by day.

Seeing this, Jiang's father bought a comfortable house in the capital and asked the Jiang family's confidant, Grandma, to take Jiang Yuying to live near the Song family.

Firstly, it was to facilitate the two children to keep in touch frequently and stabilize this hard-won marriage; secondly, it was also to protect Xu Yongnian's identity as the son of the guilty minister and prevent other political opponents from taking the opportunity to frame or cause trouble.

Since then, it has been difficult for Jiang Yuying to reunite with her parents and family in Suzhou, but the Jiang family's care and love for her has not diminished at all.

Jiang's father and Jiang's mother responded to almost everything their only daughter asked for, and even joined the Song family's service without hesitation for her.

Other members of the Jiang family far away in Suzhou have rarely seen Jiang Yuying as an adult, and they don't know what kind of family she married into. Therefore, the relationship between the Jiang family and the Song family has always been a secret that no outsider can know.

The hidden identity of the father is even more difficult to detect.

Yu Yalan breathed a sigh of relief after hearing this, and she and Song Xi looked at each other and both smiled.

With Jiang Yuying as the link between the two families, the entertainment city's background secrets can have an extra layer of security.

The four of them discussed the next arrangements in the study room, and on the way they also summoned many capable subordinates to help check for any gaps.
