Under the protection of Yuan Yichen, the magistrate of the county, Ximenqing was freed and began the plan to build the Ruyi Pavilion. www.biquge.info Ximenqing is a profiteer, and his operation is different from that of others, most of the girls in the Qinglou of other people's families are voluntary, perhaps because of the middle of the family, but also because of the persecution of the traitors, anyway, they all enter the Qinglou voluntarily. However, in order to save money, Ximenqing bought 60 women between the ages of 16 and 20 from the poor countryside at a price of 10 taels of silver, and sent thugs to forcibly sell themselves in the Ruyi Pavilion.

In less than a month's effort, the 60 women bought by Ximenqing were forcibly opened, and Ximenqing made a lot of money from budding. There are many Qinglou guests who like this tune, and they all like a woman's first time. Usually a woman is up to 10 taels of silver at a time, and the cheap one is only 2 taels, but the budding woman is much more expensive, and the most expensive one sold by Ximenqing is 1,000 taels of silver, and there are still people who take the bait, the first time of 60 women, Ximenqing has earned 30,000 taels. Although Ximen Qing has a black heart, he does not delay Ximen Qing to make money, and in terms of business, Ximen Qing is still a successful businessman.

There are not many people who go to congratulate the opening of the Ruyi Pavilion, which makes Ximen Qing very annoyed, although it is a partnership with the county, but Yuan Zhixian can not come forward publicly, so the opening makes a lot of money, otherwise, tens of thousands of taels of silver will be there. After the opening, Ximenqing thought of a way to take turns to entertain the bosses on the trade street, and invited 60 of the 1,200 bosses on the trade street every day, one by one.

When the banquet is invited, it is naturally in the Ruyi Pavilion, after the wine and food are full, it is implied that these bosses will live in the Ruyi Pavilion, there are 60 Qinglou girls in the Ruyi Pavilion, each of them is at least 10 taels of silver, Ximen Qing treats guests, each person spends less than 2 taels of silver, but to live in the Ruyi Pavilion, it is 10 taels, or even 100 taels, a month, 1200 bosses, except for a small part, are unwilling to associate with Ximen Qing, basically eat in the Ruyi Pavilion, and leave hundreds of taels of silver in the Ruyi Pavilion. This made Ximenqing earn more than 20,000 taels of silver, but these bosses were very disgusted by Ximenqing's practice, and they all went to the county yamen to complain, asking the county to come forward to stop this kind of matching. Long Xiao asked Zhang Cheng to come forward and warned Ximen Qing once, and Ximen Qing stopped this disguised looting of people's wealth.

There are also more than 1,000 grocery store owners in the county seat, and they were originally among the invitations of Ximen Qingxin, but because the county came forward to stop them, those small bosses saved a lot of silver. The bosses of those grocery stores are indeed small businesses, if each person comes up with 10 taels or a few hundred taels, it is indeed a difficulty, and later the small boss heard that it was the county Cheng Da who stopped Ximen Qing's forced hospitality, and they all expressed their willingness to pay an extra tael of silver every month, and there is the protection of the county Cheng Da.

When the big bosses in the trade street heard about it, they unanimously discussed that each family would pay an extra 3 taels of silver, that is, 5 taels of silver per month, and they would also be protected by the county lord from bullies like Ximenqing. In this way, the income of the county will increase by 4,000 taels per month, which is also something that Long Xiao did not expect. So, Long Xiao asked Zhang Cheng to recruit another 20 fast catchers, and arranged 10 fast catchers in each street on the trade street and grocery street to protect those merchants day and night. Thousands of merchants suddenly felt a sense of security, and if a ruffian like Ximenqing wanted to forcibly extort silver, he had to ask the county lord if he was willing.

So, Ximen Qing had a strange trick to make money on ordinary people. Ximen Qing set up a gambling plate in the Ruyi Pavilion, as long as 10 taels of silver will be gambled once, as long as the bet is won, you will get a huge sum of 10,000 taels of silver, that is, the bet is not successful, and it will also be chic in the Ruyi Pavilion once, and the Ruyi Pavilion Qinglou girl spent **, this measure at the beginning, it greatly stimulated those people who want to get rich. Anyway, it's 10 silver, even if you don't win the bet, you can still get a chance to **.

In this way, there are hundreds of people who try their luck in the Ruyi Pavilion every day, Ximen Qing looks, so many Qinglou guests, the girls of the Ruyi Pavilion can't receive it at all, not to mention that some beautiful girls are not willing to pay 10 taels of silver at a time, some are 50 taels of silver at a time, or even 100 taels of silver at a time. Ximenqing spent another 1,000 taels of silver, from a remote poor place, bought 100 girls, exclusively for these gamblers, Ximenqing's Ruyi Pavilion, all of a sudden boom, although there are not many high-end Qinglou customers, but the victory is in the crowd, nearly 200 people come to try their luck every day, Ximenqing earned 2000 taels of silver every day.

After operating like this for a month, he earned 60,000 taels of silver for Ximenqing, and Yuan Yichen, the county magistrate, got 30,000 taels, and Yuan Yichen had a great impression of Ximenqing, and invited Ximenqing to his home many times, and invited Ximenqing to his home, and Ximenqing was even bolder. However, a month later, no one gambled at all, and no one could get 10,000 taels of silver, so people's enthusiasm decreased, and they no longer went to Ximenqing's Ruyi Hall to gamble. So, Ximenqing found two supports, each with 10 taels of silver, and was dashing in the Ruyi Pavilion, and also gambled 10,000 taels of silver, which immediately spread all over Shenwu County. People flocked to the Ruyi Pavilion to try to gamble on their own, and the business of the Ruyi Pavilion was booming again.

Ximenqing saw that this trick was good, and consciously let the gambling plate produce a person in the gambling every month, that is to say, there is a bet of 10,000 taels of silver every month, and the business will be fixed, even if Ximenqing takes out 10,000 silver every month, the daily turnover is still about 2000 taels of silver, and Ximenqing's Ruyi Hall has become a unique phenomenon in Qinglou Street. So much so that other Qinglou restaurants also followed Ximen Qingxue, and there were dozens of gambling plates on Qinglou Street, so Ximen Qing's business would not be so prosperous.

Yuan Zhixian still got 230,000 taels of silver per month from the Ruyi Pavilion of Ximen Qing, plus the Ximen medicine shop, Yuan Zhixian could get 50,000 taels of silver every month. Yuan Yichen's wealth increased dramatically. In terms of the county government, there are tens of thousands of taels of silver per month contributed by the county Cheng, and it is no longer the time for Yuan Zhixian to borrow 10,000 taels of silver with interest. At this time, Yuan Yichen really realized the feeling of 100,000 snowflakes and silver in the Qing Governor's Mansion in three years. However, Yuan Yichen was still not satisfied, because he wanted to obtain more silver and go to the capital to bribe the officials of the Ministry of Officials in order to win a bigger official position for himself.

Ximenqing is because of the support of Yuan Yichen, the magistrate, and he is smooth sailing in Shenwu County, although he is not as powerful and profitable as Long Xiao, but, in the eyes of general, Ximenqing is also the landlord of Shenwu County, with both an official background and local forces, Ximenqing is like a local tyrant in Shenwu County.

Ximenqing's selfish desires have been extremely inflated, although he didn't dare to show off his might in front of the county Cheng Longxiao, but in front of the county magistrate Yuan Yichen, he was a little fluttery. Because Yuan Yichen wants to count on him Ximenqing to make money and make a fortune, the magistrate can only serve Ximenqing well. Ximenqing felt that his family's house was not big enough, so he wanted to expand it. However, there are private houses all around, and Ximenqing needs to buy private houses if he wants to expand.

Ximenqing checked it, there are 12 families around his house, according to Ximenqing's plan, as long as these 12 households are merged, his house will be shielded around it, and it will be connected with the front and back streets. Ximenqing discussed with the 12 heads of households, each of them contributed 1,000 taels, and bought the house, and there were 10 families who saw that the silver given was about the same, the key was that they couldn't afford to provoke Ximenqing, and they didn't want to be neighbors with Ximenqing, so they moved happily, but there were two more families who didn't move, Ximenqing raised the price by 500 taels, and they didn't want to, Ximenqing was anxious, and found a few green skins on the street to beat the owners of these two families, and also released the words: as long as you don't move, you will see and beat once.

When the two families saw that it was not good, they took the lawsuit to the magistrate's yamen and sued Ximenqing. When Ximen Qing heard this, the two families sued themselves to the magistrate's yamen, and they laughed. Ximenqing found Yuan Yichen, the county governor, to discuss countermeasures, and Yuan Zhixian sentenced the two families to move out, and Ximenqing compensated each family with 800 taels of silver. When the two families looked at it, they were naturally not convinced, it was originally 1,500 taels, but now it is 800 taels, so they brought the lawsuit to the county yamen, and Long Xiao tried the case.

Ximenqing was the most frightened to deal with the county, because Long Xiao didn't buy his account at all, and when Ximenqing saw it, he asked the county to come forward and find Long Xiao to discuss. Long Xiao sold a face to the magistrate, but asked Ximenqing to compensate each family with 3,000 taels, otherwise there was no need to talk about it, and Ximenqing had to compensate each family with 3,000 taels of silver.
