Chapter 140 Beauty and Talent
When officials in Lantian County do things, they will calculate the gains and losses.
Except for people's livelihood, which is unstoppable every year according to existing proportions, the rest of the investments are basically large-scale investments in projects with the highest return rate.
Therefore, the territory of Lantian County looks like a large spider, Guanzhong is the body of a spider, Ningxia, Shu Shang, Shanxi, Henan, Hubei, Hanzhong, Shuzhong, Yunnan and Guizhou, and Lingnan are like the eight legs that spiders stretch out.
The secret spies spread across the Ming Dynasty were the web made of this spider spitting silk.
As for Emperor Chongzhen, Li Zicheng, King of Rebellion, and Zhang Bingzhong, the Eight Kings, were preys stuck on this big net. Although these preys can still struggle hard, sometimes they can walk around through the net.
As the spider continues to spit silk and weave webs, as long as the time comes, when the power of these prey is exhausted, it will eventually lead to death.
Yun Zhao even hopes that Jianzhou people can step into this big network... so that he can catch them all in one go.
However, Yun Zhao did not feel so sharp to outsiders, nor did he look cunning, nor did he deliberately pretend to be stupid and not crazy. People praised him all over the world, and at the same time, he slandered him like a tide.
Many of the negative factors here were brought to him by the book "The Record of the Three Kings' Competition for Beauty" produced by students of Yushan Academy.
Nowadays, the person from the Ming Dynasty didn’t know that Yun Zhao was a famous hungry ghost in the sex scene?
Chunfeng Mingyue Tower offers a very high price and strict personal guarantees. Inviting the famous Qinhuai Bayan to Mingyue Tower to perform on stage, they were rejected by those beauties.
Kou Baimen, who was the most courageous and the most stable backer, even said, "The body of a weak willow dare not dance with the wild beasts."
For this, Zhu Cunji, the Dahonglu of Lantian County, even gave Kou Baimen's backer, Zhu Guobi, a prominent hero, to rebuke him with a letter!
He also declared that if Qinhuai beauties are not there, he will go to Qinhuai!
Up to now, no one has regarded Zhu Cunji as a vassal king of the Ming Dynasty. He only thinks that he is now a senior official in Lantian County. For this reason, Emperor Chongzhen even deprived Zhu Cunji of his natal jade certificate.
For this matter, Zhu Cunji even had a banquet for guests for three days to celebrate that he had finally left the royal family.
Everyone could see that he was really happy, and he was definitely not pretending.
As the Grand Grand Lu of Lantian County, he had already begun to participate in the senior meetings of Lantian County. From these meetings, he gradually discovered that Lantian County was by no means a warlord who only controlled the 68 states in the world.
After visiting the Fenghuang Mountain Military Camp and the Yushan Arsenal, Zhu Cunji no longer had any nostalgia for the Ming Dynasty.
Nowadays, his two sons, one is in Ningxia Town, and the other is studying hard in the lower courtyard of Yushan. As long as these two children are willing to work hard, within ten years, Zhu Cunji's family will transform into an official family in Lantian County.
In this way, we can ensure that the Qin King's lineage can continue to live a life of wealth and glory.
Zhu Cunji may cry at midnight about this change, but after waking up from the dream, he will still firmly follow the path he is now.
Zhu Guobi naturally would not take what a vassal king in Shaanxi said seriously, but even Zhu Guobi dared not take it seriously.
So, at the end of March, six Qinhuai beauties led by Kou Baimen came to Chang'an with a trembling attitude of feeding tigers!
"The prosperity is endless to the eyes, and the charm of Chang'an is full of the world."
Kou Baimen covered his face with a round fan, and looked at the prosperous Chang'an street market through the car window. Although he was frowning, he still said in a good manner.
"Although this place is prosperous, it is a city of beasts after all, so the White Gate should not have too high expectations."
Gu Hengbo, the oldest middle-aged man, didn't look at the scene outside, and said coldly.
Kou Baimen smiled sadly, threw himself into Gu Hengbo's arms and cried, "It's all my fault. I have harmed my sister and other sisters."
Gu Hengbo smiled bitterly and said, "It may not be that it has harmed anyone. I thought I could entrust my life to meet Gong Dingzi in this life. I didn't expect that a wild boar spirit could scare Gong Xiaosheng, who had always thought of himself, to the point of being hard.
Baba sent his lover whom he vowed to the incense cart and traveled thousands of miles to the side of the beast."
Kou Baimen smiled bitterly and said, "Are I the same? Zhu Guobi is extremely rich and noble. At the command of the wild boar spirit, he sent me here? Sometimes, I deeply hate this way of life, so that I cannot be happy."
While the two were talking, a black-faced woman put her head into the carriage and said with a smile: "Girls are from outside, have you ever heard of Lantian perfume?"
Kou Baimen was about to send the woman off, but Gu Hengbo smiled and said, "Do you have Lantian perfume?"
The old lady laughed and said, "The family produces this thing. If girls want it, the old lady will take it."
As he spoke, he handed in a brocade box from the window. While following the carriage, he was looking forward to the business to be completed.
Gu Hengbo opened the box and a row of exquisite glass bottles appeared in front of him. These beautiful glass bottles contained colorful perfumes, and the bottles were covered with patterns of roses, magnolias and osmanthus.
It doesn't need to guess, it means various fragrances.
"Don't worry, girl, this thing is not fake. Only Yushan can produce these glass bottles, and only two thousand are produced a year."
Gu Hengbo said: "How much silver is needed?"
When the old woman heard that Gu Hengbo was not from Guanzhong, she laughed even happier and spread her hands and said, "Ten taels of silver per bottle."
Kou Baimen said coldly: "It must be fake."
After hearing this, the old woman was immediately unhappy. She was about to take back her goods and stop selling them, but Gu Hengbo gave the old woman ten taels of silver and took away the Magnolia fragrance.
The old woman's business was completed, but she no longer sold it to Kou Baimen. She left in a angrily manner with her own perfume box.
Kou Bai said: "My husband also gave me a set of perfume, and I heard that it cost him five hundred taels of silver."
Gu Hengbo said lightly: "This thing is only ten taels of silver in Chang'an, and it is still the official price, and there is no second price."
Kou Baimen's expression turned dark and he lowered his head and stopped talking.
Not long after, the carriage came to the Spring Breeze and Moon Tower.
The pavilion was burned by fire and after being continuously built, it became more and more magnificent at this time, but a large pool was built in front of the pavilion.
On the third floor of the pavilion, there is a huge kirin beast head hanging. A stream of white water spewed out of the beast head and fell into the deep pool. The sound of water overwhelmed the noise of the streets, which had a sense of quietness in the midst of noise.
Kou Baimen put on a veil, picked up the pipa and got off the carriage with the help of the maid, and was welcomed into the building by the female manager.
A group of people stood in the tall hall, but did not see the guests looking for pleasure. Only a beautiful glass lamp hung down from the roof. After being shined by a ray of sunlight, it emitted a brilliant light, and the huge hall was illuminated brightly.
Bian Yujing, dressed in a female crown, saw that there were only people like him and the manager of Mingyuelou in the hall, and seemed a little deserted, so he said to the female manager of Mingyuelou, "Mom, are you so deserted on weekdays?"
The former madam, the current female manager, smiled and said, "The girls are here, how can they let those stinky men come in? Chunfeng Mingyue Tower is not a place for flesh and blood trading, and the girls are worried too much."
Dong Xiaowan lifted her veil and asked, "Don't Yun Zhao come, either?"
The female manager sighed and said, "The Spring Breeze and Moon Tower has been open for so many years, and the county magistrate has never been here once. However, General Yun Yang often comes. Since the General got married, he has not come many times.
Girls, don’t worry, I know what you are thinking. The one who invites you to come to the Spring Breeze and Moon Tower is my Lantian Dahonglu, not the county magistrate.
The county master will never set foot in a place like Mingyue Tower on weekdays.
The girls came just to show their talents to the Chang'an scholars, not to entertain people through sex.
Nowadays, Guanzhong is the most reasonable place in the world, and even the county magistrate cannot take the girls away.
I can protect all the girls.”
The madam's words were in vain to Kou Baimen and others. How could they, who had become popular for a long time, believe in the guarantee of a madam?
Therefore, after being arranged to live, these people couldn't wait to visit the sisters in Mingyue Tower, especially the two girls Mingyue and Hanxing who were full of flags in Mingyue Tower.
At this time, Yun Zhao was discussing with Han Lingshan and others in the study room to strengthen the naval personnel. Just as he was about to take a break, he saw Zhu Kuanji, the Great Honglu, standing outside the window, constantly looking inside, as if something urgent was happening.
Liu Cheng whispered to Yun Zhao: "Zhu Cunji invited Kou Baimen from Jiangnan, Gu Hengbo, Dong Xiaowan and Bian Yujing."
Yun Zhao looked up at Liu Cheng strangely and said, "A group of singers come to Chang'an, don't you tell me such a thing?"
Han Lingshan's eyes rolled around and said, "All of them are beauties."
Yun Zhao curled his lips and said, "There are beauties in my family."
Han Lingshan said: "Beauties have different charms."
Yun Zhao rolled his eyes at Han Lingshan and said, "So you want a woman with two children?"
Han Lingshan said shamelessly: "Now I have three, a month ago, I just gave birth to a daughter for me."
Yun Zhao said with a bad taste: "I know, I heard that the child's surname is Yuan?"
Han Lingshan spread his hands and said, "If you speak like this, we can't continue to talk about beauty. Let me tell you, your brother-in-law has already run away."
Yun Zhao snorted and asked Liu Cheng to drive Zhu Cunji away.
"You're really not moved?"
Yun Zhao smiled, then took a new document and read it carefully.
The famous beauties on the Qinhuai River have arrived... The self-proclaimed talented men in the lower courtyard of Yushan Academy were moved by the news.
Including those old talented men who had half of the loess buried.
Yun Zhao, who returned to the back house, felt that the atmosphere at home was very strange.
Just as they were lying on a brocade bed, Feng Ying and Qian Duoduo walked in with the children.
Yun Zhang habitually rode on Yun Zhao's chest. Yun Xian was very angry about this, so he tried to put his butt and put his butt on his father's head.
Feng Ying sat on the left and Qian Duoduo sat on the right, firmly surrounding Yun Zhao in the middle.
"No matter what, I'm going to kill Zhu Cunji."
Feng Ying smiled and said, "You underestimate your husband."
Qian Duoduo sneered: "You are so proud of your husband. If I hadn't refuted it, I would have had a baby when you got married."
Yun Zhao once again moved his son's butt away from his face and said resentfully: "It's all my business!
However, Zhu Cunji's approach is correct. The prosperity of Chang'an needs to be known to outsiders. After these famous women arrive, the prosperity of Chang'an will be raised by a step, so it is still worth it.
They can do whatever they want. As long as they make the reputation of Chang'an wealth known to everyone in the world, we will make a profit.
In addition, you may not know that Rugao Maopijiang, Tongcheng Fang Yizhi, Yixing Chen Zhenhui, Shangqiu Hou Fangyu also came secretly."
Qian Duoduo frowned and said, "It's just a group of dandy people, what are they doing?"
