Chapter 184 Cooperation and Planning

In Suyue's boudoir, the erotic scenes that made the two scholars envious and jealous of the two Huai scholars did not appear, because at this moment, not only her and Li Ling, but also Xu's mother, who is still charming. Of course, it is even more impossible to have an increasingly exciting scene of two people flying together, because in addition to them, there is also a smart middle-aged man sitting in front of Li Ling.

However, Su Yue, who should have been the master of this place, can only retreat aside and play the three people who are talking. However, her wonderful eyes are still full of curiosity and cannot be revolved around Li Ling.

The middle-aged man looked at the paper in his hand and gently read the content from his mouth: "Although the courtesan is good, there will be a time when he will be despaired. The carriage and horse are neglected, and they will no longer be the previous dynasty. Listening to my words can ensure a reputation. Poetry and lyrics are a general idea."

After reading it, he looked up at Li Ling again: "Every word written by Mr. Li is really beautiful, which makes people feel admirable. But... what you wrote is sincere?"

The writing content that can be found from the poems of the scholars is these few sentences. Li Ling is naturally not the poems about love and love, but the real benefits!

Because he knew very well that no matter whether it was Su Yue himself or the entire Hongxiuzhao, no matter how good the poems were for them, they were just embellishments. The durability of Su Yue's reputation as a courtesan is the foundation of everything.

The facts also proved that his conjecture was correct. This time, not only allowed him to win the Lianghuai scholars, but also met one of the bosses of Hongxiuzhao.

Li Ling picked up the teacup and drank the fragrant tea, which made the drunkenness in his mind disappear soon, and said softly: "If it weren't for the sincerity, I wouldn't have written these things. Do you think what I said is reasonable?"

"Of course, in the past ten years, I have produced seven or eight famous courtesans in Luoyang City. Even Yan Buhe, I, had fabricated three beauties with a reputation as Su Yue, but they did not last long. As time passed, they were all lost.

"It is said that since ancient times, famous generals are like beauties, and they are not allowed to see white hair on earth. But compared to famous generals, the flowering period of beauties is much shorter. As long as two or three years, as short as one or two years, they will be abandoned by those former benefactors..."

After hearing this, the originally ethereal sound of the piano suddenly stopped, and Su Yue's face became even more miserable, and her eyes were already red. The mother Xu next to her also looked sad, and she was hurt by the nature of her kind. She also remembered her own experience. Thinking about five or six years ago, she was also famous in Beijing.

Li Ling smiled: "Yes, people are fond of the old and old after all, especially in this kind of joy. Those kind guests who hold countless gold and silver only want to have a kiss and can speak sweet words when they are happy cannot always pursue a certain beauty. Even if you were a courtesan, as long as a fresh and more attractive beauty appears in the garden, they will leave without looking back. Those who can end up in one way or another."

After a pause, he looked at Yan Buhe again: "They wouldn't care how much price and effort you have paid to cultivate a courtesan like Miss Pixun. Boss Yan and the entire Hongxiuzhao. But the same is true for you. In order to get back all the money you invested before, you will use the reputation of Suyue's courtesan to get as much benefits as possible. In such a two-part approach, within one or two years, the courtesan, who was originally rushing to the courtesan, will soon become a commoner. I wonder if what I said below is reasonable?"

Yan Buhe was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that Mr. Li, as a talented man in Huaibei, would even be very clear about the inside story of my brothel."

"Haha, I just heard a little, and then made some inferences through human nature, which is not worth mentioning." Li Ling said in a humble manner. When he turned his eyes, he found that Su Yue was already tearful and her pretty and aggrieved look was really pity for me. Obviously, these words had deeply scared her.

Mother Xu finally couldn't help it and looked at Li Ling with a gaze and said, "Mr. Li, is the writing on paper real? Can my daughter be forgotten after a year or two?"

"Of course there are methods, but you also need to cooperate with me. I dare not say that if there are too many, I will have to make Miss Suyue one of the top beauties in Luoyang City for five years. I will not be forgotten quickly. I don't know if you believe me or not, and whether you are willing to cooperate with me." Li Ling said as he exchanged eyes with the three of them one by one, and finally fell on Yan Buhe. After all, he was the one who could make the decision here.

Yan Buhe looked at him with a smile and said, "What do you want to get from us?" There is no way to be a waste of money in the world. If you want to help yourself, you have to pay the corresponding price. He has been in the mall for many years and is naturally very clear about this.

"I don't want any gold and silver, nor have I ever thought about any girl from Hongxiuzhao. All I want is mutual benefit from the cooperation between the two parties. As long as you, Boss Yan, nodded and willing to cooperate, that's enough."

"It's that simple?" Yan Buhe couldn't believe it and asked cautiously: "There are no other requirements."

"It's that simple, but once the cooperation takes effect, I hope that Miss Suyue will obey my words for some of the next things. Of course, I can guarantee here that she will not suffer any grievances, but will only make her famous."

"Greater reputation? How easy is this?"

"Yes, my daughter is now a courtesan in Luoyang and is no longer comparable to the brothels in Huanchang. How could she become famous again?" Xu's mother also asked in confusion.

Li Ling looked at them with a smile: "That's the issue of your vision. I only stared at my own industry, but I never thought that those ordinary people who don't care about the brothels also knew about Miss Suyue's reputation? Even those square gentlemen and officials in the court knew that there were beauties like Miss Suyue. If I could do this, I think even in two or three years, even if there were a few more beauties in the brothels, I wouldn't be able to shake Miss Suyue's reputation, right?"

Su Yue and Xu's mother's expressions changed for it. Thinking that there was a day when there was a glittering light in their eyes, Yan Buhe fell into deep thoughts, and after a while, he frowned and said, "This is impossible! Even if I tried everything to create momentum for Su Yue, it would be impossible for her to be truly what you said and her name is known to the whole city." After all, for ordinary people, what kind of courtesans is too far away from their lives.

"If it's just like this now, this matter is of course very difficult. But what we need to do next can just make up for this gap." Li Ling said with a confident look on his face.

"But what kind of industry can do it to such a level."

"Newspaper!" Li Ling had no intention of keeping him indifferent, and directly expressed his thoughts.

"Newspaper? What is that?"

"There is a palace report in the imperial court. I think Boss Yan should know it?" Li Ling said with a smile. The so-called palace report is the official newspaper of the court. Every few months, the court will extract some major events into a book and distribute them to all parts of the world and go directly to every county government. In this way, county magistrates and other officials who are thousands of miles away from the capital can promptly know the court's recent trends and policies in a timely manner, and make relevant decisions.

Yan Buhe, who is in the capital and has a certain identity, is naturally very clear about this. After seeing him nodding, Li Ling said again: "The newspaper I mentioned is similar to this. However, the newspaper I run is aimed at ordinary people, and the contents are mainly novel stories and urban life. As long as Miss Su Yue appears in the newspaper as a character in some story and play a play half-true and half-false, I like to hear it. I think even if the people of Luoyang have never entered a brothel, they will know her beauty and what kind of person she is.

"And once you have this famous name, no matter how other brothels push a more beautiful person, they will not be able to compete with you. I wonder if the girl is interested in cooperating with me?"

Faced with Li Ling's direct questioning, Su Yue was naturally moved and wanted to agree, but she quickly reacted and looked at Yan Buhe. Everything about her was naturally subject to the other party's arrangements.

Yan Buhe pondered for a moment: "Can you really succeed in this newspaper?" It's not that he has not had enough vision, but that this thing has never appeared before.

Li Ling smiled: "I have found a bookstore for printing and publishing, but now it's just a little bit of content. And in my opinion, there are many people who know literacy in Luoyang City, but not everyone will be interested in those classics, history, and numerology. What I can give them is much more interesting than the words of the saints who educate the people and are closer to everyone's life. Who would refuse?"

Although he was not very profound about newspapers, Yan Buhe still saw something from Li Ling's confident appearance. He also laughed: "Mr. Li is indeed extraordinary, and his thoughts are far beyond ordinary people... But aren't you afraid that after you say this, I will make a newspaper first?"

"Haha, Boss Yan is joking. If you have Hongxiuzhao, you can't take advantage of this hard money with Hongxiuzhao? What's more, you're just like a mountain. Even if you know that there is a newspaper like this, you're afraid you can't take action."

Yan Buhe laughed: "Mr. Li is really quick to speak, okay, I have done this deal with you, let's cooperate! I just don't know when you plan to start?"

"This... I should have to wait a few more months. After all, I will have the imperial examination next time. Maybe I will become a court official and have miscellaneous tasks. I will be distracted after I get summer. However, now Miss Suyue is still famous as a court official, so I am not in a hurry."

Seeing the other party nodding, Li Ling was sure that his plan to save the bookstore seemed to be on the agenda soon! Yes, in fact, when he was determined to buy the Qin Family Bookstore that was about to go bankrupt, he had already figured out how to fight out of the siege of the bookstore in the capital, which was a private newspaper that had never appeared before!
