Afternoon.

It's about four o'clock.

In the study, Wang Chen is writing a barter plan.

Knock knock.

There was a knock on the door.

Wang Dalang's voice came from outside, "Mr. Wang, I brought the people back." ”

Who did you bring back?

Wang Chen, who was concentrated, didn't react for a while, and said casually: "Come in." ”

The door creaked open.

Wang Dalang was the first to walk in, followed by two women, one in a long red skirt and the other in an emerald green skirt, one tall and one short.

It was Liu Qihong and her maid Yun'er.

Today's Liu Qihong is not the same as in the past, in addition to the iconic red makeup, all kinds of gold and silver jewelry have disappeared on her head, looking very elegant, she stepped forward and bowed: "The concubine has seen the master." ”

is worthy of being the first beauty in Tongzhou City, even if she is plain and elegant, she still looks abnormally beautiful, Wang Chen nodded, stretched out his hand and pointed to the wooden chair in front of the desk and said, "Miss Qihong, please take a seat." ”

Liu Qihong hesitated, showed a smile and said, "The master is above, Qihong can stand and grind for you." ”

Yo.

You're getting into character so quickly, huh?

Wang Chen knew that Liu Qihong had lowered his status, but he liked this woman a lot, so he still insisted: "I don't need to grind to write with a pen, sit down." ”

"Yes. Liu Qihong sat down on the chair very obediently.

At this time, Wang Dalang stepped forward and reported: "Mr. Wang, it took a total of 2,000 yuan to redeem Miss Qihong's body. ”

"Huh?" Wang Chen wondered, "So cheap?"

It stands to reason that Liu Qihong, a woman with such a strong ability to absorb gold, is not surprising even if she spends 10,000 yuan.

Wang Dalang explained, and said: "Wanhualou is a green building directly under the jurisdiction of Tongzhou Mansion, when I went to redeem Miss Qihong, Tongzhou Mansion knew that it was you who asked for it, and sold a little face, otherwise don't say 2,000 guan, even if it is 20,000 guan, Tongzhou Mansion will not release people, after all, Miss Qihong is the first beauty in Tongzhou City." ”

"That's a big deal. Liu Qihong smiled gently, "It's not that I'm worth 20,000 yuan, but the government generally doesn't let people go easily, and if it's a normal situation, the concubine is worth up to 1,500 yuan." ”

It's only worth fifteen hundred dollars?

You must know that Lin Yuantu spent 10,000 yuan on you a year!

Wang Chen immediately thought about it and understood, how much consumption is one thing, and how much is worth to redeem oneself is another, like the first prostitute Li Shishi in the ages, it is said that the price of redemption is only equivalent to eight million RMB in modern society, which is almost equivalent to eight thousand yuan in the early Northern Song Dynasty.

And Chen Yuanyuan's redemption price is 6.5 million RMB of purchasing power, which is about 6,500 yuan now.

These two are both top prostitutes in ancient times, and they are very famous.

For example, Dong Xiaowan is a little less famous, the redemption price is only 3,000 taels of silver, and one tael of silver in the Ming Dynasty is equivalent to 600 yuan in purchasing power in modern society, and 3,000 taels is equivalent to 1.8 million yuan.

And Liu Qihong's real redemption price is about 1,500 yuan, which is equivalent to 15.6 million RMB, which is actually not far from Dong Xiaowan's price, as for why it cost 2,000 yuan in the end, Wang Chen can understand that Liu Qihong's ability to absorb gold is so strong, the government must make some money, and it is normal to charge 500 yuan more, well, it is equivalent to spending 2 million RMB to buy the first "actress" in Tongzhou City.

Wang Dalang handed the deed of sale to Wang Chen.

Wang Chen took it and glanced at it, and suddenly smiled, "Miss Qihong, do you want to be a good person?"

Liu Qihong blinked and said, "What do you mean by this?"

Wang Chen laughed, and learned to tear the deed of sale the TV, "You are free to ...... from now on"

Before he finished speaking, Liu Qihong said with a stunned face: "Master, what are you doing?"

Wang Chen was stunned for a moment and said, "Aren't you free if you tear up the deed of sale?"

Next to him, Wang Dalang cried and laughed: "Mr. Wang, who did you listen to? The deed of sale is generally in triplicate, one for the buyer, one for the seller, and one for the guarantor, and it is useless to tear off any of them alone, besides, if all three copies are torn, the Qihong girl will become a black household, and there will be no identity certificate at all." ”

Wang Chen almost fell headlong.

Your sister, buddy is out of the ocean again.

He showed an embarrassed but polite smile, and said in a low voice: "I'll see if the paper of the deed of sale is strong, hey, it's not strong at all, it will break if you tear it." ”

Liu Qihong and Yun'er couldn't help but cover their mouths and laugh.

However, Wang Dalang suggested: "If you want Miss Qihong to become a good person, we can spend some money to the government to make her a good family." ”

And this operation?

Wang Chen said without hesitation: "Cheng, help me say hello to the yamen, and turn Miss Qihong and Yun'er into good records, and I will spend as much as I want." ”

"I'll do it, you give me the deed of sale of Miss Qihong. Wang Dalang stretched out his hand and said.

Wang Chen handed over the deed of sale torn in half.

Wang Dalang turned around and went out and closed the door of the study with his hand.

At this point, there were only three people left in the room.

Yun'er, who has always liked Wang Chen, was moved all of a sudden. Tears dripped down, and she said, "Master, thank you, Yun'er never thought that she would be able to recover her good status one day." ”

Liu Qihong's eyes were also full of complicated looks, and only after a little sound did he say: "Master, whether Qihong is a good person or not, I will follow you in this life." ”

The Qinglou woman sincerely wants to escape from the sea of suffering, and generally meets several conditions, first of all, psychologically, Liu Qihong already has this, and secondly, she can find a man worthy of trust, when she decided to follow Wang Chen, she was actually not sure whether Wang Chen was really worth entrusting, and now seeing that Wang Chen was not only willing to spend money to redeem her, but also willing to help restore her good status, Liu Qihong was moved in her heart.

Normally speaking, a woman in a Qinglou who has been a top brand will have a lot of private money, and Liu Qihong is no exception, originally she wanted to keep this money for the rest of her life, even if Wang Chen was not good to her, she still had something to rely on, but now, seeing Wang Chen so interesting, she was moved, and did not hesitate to take out a stack of flying money from her sleeve and put it on the desk, "This money was saved by the concubine in Wanhualou for several years, and now it is handed over to the master." ”

Wang Chen frowned and said, "What are you doing here?"

Liu Qihong said very seriously: "There is a total of 15,000 yuan here, but the concubine is all her wealth, since I have decided to follow the master, then I will not leave any way back, just look ...... I only hope that the master can treat the concubine well. ”

"Girl......" Yun'er sighed.

Wang Chen waved his hand, "Put the money in, I don't want your money." ”

Joke!

If you take your money, will you be able to hold your head up in the future?

"But ......" Liu Qihong wanted to say something.

Wang Chen interrupted with a cold face: "If you put the money away, I won't keep you." ”

Seeing this, Liu Qihong didn't dare to say anything more, so she had to put the money away and said very obediently: "I listen to the master." ”

Seeing her so obedient and well-behaved, Wang Chen was a little unaccustomed for a while, but his heart was satisfied, he wanted to say that he would come to my room tonight, and it is estimated that the other party will not refuse, but no matter what, concubine also needs a certain process, since Wang Chen decided to respect the other party, he must go through the concubine process and then go to the other party, so he simply did not mention this matter for the time being.

The three of them chatted in the study.

Suddenly, Liu Qihong asked: "Master, when you first came in, the concubine saw what you were writing, did you have a peerless term?"

"It's not. Wang Chen shook his head and briefly said what he was going to do, Liu Qihong will be his own woman in the future, and there is no need to hide this kind of trivial matter.

After listening, Liu Qihong said thoughtfully: "I have a suggestion. ”

Wang Chen was curious: "What suggestions?"

"Since the master wants to sell things along the road, everything is precious, why don't you go first before the soldiers and horses move the grain and grass?" Liu Qihong raised his red sleeves.

Wang Chen didn't understand, "The soldiers and horses have not moved the grain and grass first?"

"Yes. Liu Qihong carefully explained: "According to what the lord said, the first stop of this trip is Chuzhou, I wait for hundreds of people along the way, inconvenient to move, Tongzhou is more than 500 miles away from Chuzhou, it will take three or five days to estimate it, take advantage of this time, you can send a person to ride lightly, spend some copper money to build momentum, just say that you have a treasure, when we rush to Chuzhou, those dignitaries and nobles will definitely take the initiative to find the door, one, you can make friends along the way, and second, you can sell at a good price, what do you think?"

That's right!

Advertise first!

How did I not think of that?

Wang Chen patted his head and reacted, and began to calculate in his mind, if he passed through eight big cities, and if he wanted to sell his things well, he definitely needed to let out the news, otherwise how would others know that they had good things?

Wait until you get to those cities to publicize, it's too late!

couldn't help but look at Liu Qihong with an appreciative look, and said with a smile: "Qihong, you are really smart, I accepted this suggestion, and went back to the account room to get a hundred yuan to buy some gold and silver jewelry." ”

"Thank you, sir. Liu Qihong looked very happy, she was not happy because Wang Chen rewarded a hundred yuan, but she was happy that she felt that she had found a way to please Wang Chen - to give Wang Chen business ideas. Liu Qihong feels that as long as she can maintain this "value", Wang Chen should not give up from the beginning.

Wang Chen didn't think so in his heart, the most capable person under him was only Wang Yuncang, followed by Wang Wenxiu, and now he has added Liu Qihong, who has a bright head, a good thing, in this way, he doesn't have to worry about many things, and he can completely leave them to these three people to take care of.

After determining Liu Qihong's idea, Wang Chen asked Yun'er to call Wang Yuncang over and instructed him to handle this matter.

I'm going to travel tomorrow.

I hope that the "soldiers and horses go first" plan given by Miss Liu Qihong can work, but she is too short of money in her hands, so Wang Chen continues to make some good things to cash.

After the matter was told.

Wang Chen got up and said, "You and Yun'er pack up and set off with me tomorrow morning." ”

Liu Qihong then stood up, "Later, I'll go to the pharmacy to buy more medicinal herbs and bring them with me." ”

Wang Chen wondered, "What are you doing with medicinal herbs?"

"The road is far away, if someone is sick on the way, the concubine knows a little about medicine, and if there are medicinal materials, she can be rescued in time. Liu Qihong explained.

Oh, I almost forgot.

You are the descendant of the former imperial physician.

There is a doctor by his side, at least the health problem is more or less guaranteed, Wang Chen is very satisfied, and said: "I have you to thank you." ”

"It is the honor of the concubine to be able to share the worries of the master. Liu Qihong smiled sweetly.

Wang Chenxin said that the best way to share your buddies' worries is not to be a doctor, nor to come up with ideas, but to use the stunts you learned in the Qinglou on me in an all-round way...... Ahem, we'll talk about that later.
