Among the smart guards selected by Marlin, one was the smartest, one was Henry and the other was Hart. The two of them had fake falls, basically at the level of the actor.
The most important thing is that these two people not only deliberately lost to Zhengde, but also made the smart Zhengde unable to see any flaws at all. At the same time, these two guys will also hold their momentum. When they fight with Zhengde, they look really desperate and there is no sign of letting go.
So, Zhengde was very happy and asked:
"Master Ma, these two generals are very good. What are their names?"
"Henry, Hart..."
"General Heng? General Ha? Haha, is it the second general of Hum and Ha?" Zhengde suddenly burst into laughter.
Marin also reacted - isn't it? According to Chinese, aren't these two people just the two generals Hum and Ha?
At this time, the famous "The Romance of the Gods" has not been created yet, so there are no two concrete generals of General He Ha. However, people call the two guardians in front of the mountain gate of the Buddhist temple "Hengha Two Generals". So, when he heard Ma Lin say this, Zhengde, who had heard of the legend of General He Ha Two, couldn't help laughing.
Then, Marin and several other guards retired gloriously, and Zhengde's sparring training was only Henry and Hart, two "Hum, Ha, and the other,"...
Just so happened that Marin had to do things, so he went to do things...
What is Ma Lin going to do? Of course, he is going to bribe Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong, Ma Yongcheng and Qiu Ju and other eunuchs...
The last time he bribed Liu Jin, Ma Lin also gave each of these eunuchs 2,000 taels of silver. But for the confidants of the Emperor of Ming Dynasty, this number was indeed a little small. Therefore, Ma Lin planned to add 8,000 taels to each of them and raise 10,000 taels. This is also in line with the identity of several people.
Just so happened that Marin had told several companies before that it was not enough money and needed to spend time raising the remaining part, which made sense.
Seeing that Liu Jin had fallen, Zhang Yong and several others began to emerge, and Malin could not save this money. So Malin sent someone to the boat in Dagukou to withdraw the money.
Just as Marin was accompanying Zhengde to practice his martial arts, the money had already been transported from Dagukou. After Henry and Hart replaced Marin's sparring position, Marin took the opportunity to escape and sent some silver to several companies.
Logically speaking, he gave Liu Jin 60,000 taels of silver, and it was not too much for the other people. Fortunately, Ma Lin suggested that Liu Jin make fake books and destroy the actual bribes account book. Therefore, Zhang Yong and others actually didn't know how much Ma Lin bribed Liu Jin. Therefore, Marin was so at ease that he gave each person more than 10,000 taels of silver.
You know, these are several eunuchs. If each person gives 60,000 taels like Lao Liu, Ma Lin would not be able to bear it. Therefore, each person gives 10,000 taels.
Moreover, these guys are not like Liu Jin, who can blackmail officials from all over the country. Therefore, it is good to give them gifts of four or five thousand taels of silver. Malin's family gives each family 10,000 taels, which is definitely not a small amount. Moreover, Liu Jin's affairs have just passed and are still in the limelight, so these eunuchs dare not do too much.
The eunuch is indeed a kind of greedy creature. When Zhang Yong, Gu Dayong and others saw the 8,000 taels they had added, they all changed into smiles and looked at Malin with a kind look.
Zhang Yong was determined to compete with Liu Jin, so he pretended to be careless and asked Ma Lin how much money he gave Liu Jin. Ma Lin naturally said 20,000 taels casually, and Zhang Yong was indeed a little unhappy.
Zhang Yong has now taken over the position of Liu Jin as the eunuch in charge of seals, but Ma Lin actually gave Liu Jin twice as much money as he gave him. Can he be happy?
Fortunately, Ma Lin was prepared for a long time. He told Zhang Yong that he had only given 10,000 taels, but Liu Jin used his power to forcefully blackmail him 10,000 taels, and he was helpless... Then, Ma Lin deliberately said good things and described Zhang Yong as a "good eunuch in the Ming Dynasty in the new era who was very wise and understood the righteousness of the great Ming Dynasty, and Zhang Yong didn't care about it...
Speaking of which, although Zhang Yong is also greedy, his appetite is not as big as Liu Jin. Moreover, this guy cares a lot about reputation. At the beginning, Yang Yiqing was able to fool Zhang Yongcheng with the crappy excuse of "fame left in history". If it were a realist like Marin, he would definitely criticize Yang Yiqing for his face. But this trick was useful to Zhang Yong, because Zhang Yong loved fame very much...
Because of his reputation, Zhang Yong naturally could not speak out as shamelessly as Liu Jin. According to historical records, when Zhang Yong was exposed by Qiu Ju in the seventh year of Zhengde, the reason was that he embezzled 7,000 taels of silver. It can be seen that Zhang Yong's appetite was too small compared to Liu Jin...
...
After dealing with the gift-giving problem of several eunuchs, one of his subordinates suddenly reminded:
"Duke, you seem to have forgotten something..."
"What?"
"Perfume!"
"Oh, I almost forgot!" Malin slapped his head.
These days, he was busy with other things, and a series of exciting things such as Liu Jin's fall, almost forgot the perfumes prepared on the boat.
Then, Marin quickly sent someone to Dagukou and brought 1,000 bottles of perfume. Among them, 500 bottles of rose fragrance and lavender fragrance were each.
But perfume is currently unfamous in the Ming Dynasty, so Marin first has to help the perfume open up the market and make a name for itself. Otherwise, no one knows this thing, who would buy it?
But how to open up the reputation of perfume? Marin had already thought about it - to find the top brand in Qinglou...
In ancient times, the top players of Qinglou were very famous. They were somewhat similar to later stars. Although they had a humble identity, they could not resist the praise of them...
It should be pointed out that there is a fundamental difference between the women in Qinglou in ancient times and the ladies in later generations. Moreover, not all female branch offices are qualified to be called Qinglou...
Only by cultivating a group of high-end women who are both good and good at sex and building luxurious entertainment venues can one be qualified to be called Qinglou. Whereas low-end women who sell their flesh directly are called Kilnzi.
The kilns are a place where flesh and flesh are directly traded, not about art. Because those Yao sisters don’t understand art or even illiterate. Naturally, they are all peddlers and the prices are relatively cheap.
Qinglou is similar to the existence of a high-end and high-end school in later generations. Moreover, it is more advanced than a high-end school.
No matter how high-end academy is made in later generations, its behavior is still a place to trade flesh and blood. The only difference between it and a low-end sauna is that the price is higher, and women are all very beautiful.
In ancient times, the female women in Qinglou were not ordinary sister Yao, but were all talented women. They were all basic qualities such as chess, calligraphy and painting. Singing and dancing were even more specialized.
Moreover, what is even more terrifying is that all the top players in Qinglou have high literary literacy. To put it bluntly, many of the top girls in ancient times are better than many literary professors today, and they are able to speak out and be good at writing poetry...
In short, the top players in the Qinglou in ancient times were actually a group of poor beautiful female academic masters...
Generally speaking, the top brands in Qinglou are not only good at selling their skills. Of course, if you are unparalleled in talent and attract the favor of the top brands, you can also be a guest of the curtain.
Of course, they are also a good family for youth. After they are in their twenties, even if they are older and less lustful, they need to find a way out. If they were famous and had high incomes in the past, they could find a good family to marry like Du Shiniang. Of course, they could not be the wife. Unless you are willing to marry a mountain village man.
Moreover, the so-called concubines in ancient times were those who were older and weak Qinglou women, and it was absolutely impossible for those Sister Yao who directly did flesh and blood business. Sister Yao who directly did flesh and blood business would probably be laughed to death by people all over the world if she took them home as a concubine.
