After the Lantern Festival, in fact, even if it is officially the New Year, and with the departure of Yang Xingwen and Chen Du and others, Cao Yi basically does not have so many intensive visits and entertainment, and he begins to slowly return to the previous dull and busy life. Although the atmosphere of the New Year in Jiangning City has slowly decreased, Cao Yi's reputation has continued to rise.

"Qingyu Case", "Jiangchengzi", "Linjiang Immortal", "Yongyule" four words are spreading in people's word of mouth at a faster and faster speed, among which "Qingyu Case" is the most popular, one is to talk about the content of the Lantern Festival, and the second is that this song is the least difficult to perform among the four songs, basically all the Qinglou in Jiangning City are singing this song. After all, compared with the other three songs, "The Case of Qingyu" does not have such high requirements for singing and accompanying instruments. But this also highlights Yu Youwei's super strength in disguise, and on the other hand, Cao Yi's ransom for Yu Youwei continues to become popular.

But among the many green buildings, after the former first Oiran Yu Xuanji redeemed himself and retired from the dust, Gongsun Yourou, who was not favored in the Eight Lines, suddenly emerged, and she cooperated perfectly with Yu Youwei in the three poems in the Lantern Festival, plus she was good at copper pipa, and when she practiced before, Yu Youwei also gave comprehensive and detailed guidance in the singing skills. So now, in the entire Jiangning City, it can be said that only Gongsun Yourou in Nixia Tower can interpret Cao Yi's bold trilogy: "Jiangchengzi", "Linjiang Immortal", and "Eternal Happiness" in place.

All of a sudden, those businessmen and magnates went to Nixia Tower to support Gongsun Yourou as if they had made an appointment, and when the whole city was only heard by you, it would naturally be sought after and loved by everyone. Nixia Lou and Gongsun Yourou were in the limelight for a while, and they became well-deserved celebrities in Jiangning City. Because of Yu Youwei's retreat, the eight heads of Jiangning Qinglou have become seven, but now Gongsun Yourou faintly, there seems to be a trend of becoming the head of the seven heads, and Nixia Lou has also been on a par with Jinfeng Lou in the near future.

This naturally made Li Yanhong, the mother of Jinfeng Lou, anxious, and felt a lot of pressure, and decided that she couldn't let the situation develop like this anymore, in addition to letting Wen Yixin quickly take the time to study and practice how to sing those three words well, she also began to release the news to the outside world. If Li's mother lives in modern times, she must be very good at rubbing hot spots to promote her own products. Now that Yu Youwei and Cao Yi are so popular, how can they make good use of it.

So there was such a news in the market, when Cao Yi in order to redeem Yu Youwei, in addition to paying a ransom of 8,000 taels of silver, he also wrote as many as 30 additional poems, the news said that Jinfeng Lou will sing a new word by Wen Yixin every day in the next ten days, which means that Cao Yi's new words will appear for ten consecutive days. At this time, this news can be said to have caused a sensation in Jiangning City in an instant.

Before the Lantern Festival, Cao Yi's wild and uninhibited wild name was recognized by everyone before

, originated from the song "Crane Soaring to the Sky" written by Cao Yi during the Oiran Competition. The words of this poem are simple, the whole article is straightforward, rarely used in the dictionary, there is no hidden that must be reached, and there is no difficulty in showing the feelings, especially the lower que, 'fireworks alley, according to the Danqing barrier. Fortunately, there is someone who is interested in visiting. And with the red leaning on the green, the romance is smooth, and the life is smooth. Youth is paid. endured the floating name and changed it to a shallow low singing. It completely depicts the life of the wandering skeleton, who does not love fame and fame, and is intoxicated with joy.

If it is placed in the Oiran Competition, others may still think that Cao Yi is a merry and talented person, but for such a long time, in their cognition, Cao Yi usually does not go to the Qinglou Hook Fence very much, let alone talk about the wild life of lingering in the square music, so everyone's comment to Cao Yi is exactly the same as the last sentence of this poem, "A talented lyricist, he is a white-clothed prime minister." Although Cao Yi is arrogant and proud of the world, he is serious and self-disciplined.

At the time of the Lantern Festival, Cao Yi's impression on outsiders has changed very well, easy-going, cordial, can chat with anyone, and talk politely and politely, and will not favor one over the other, and there is no such eccentric temper and arrogant character as before, he is indeed worthy of the title of Jiangning's first talent, and can represent Jiangning's style to a certain extent

They found that Cao Yi usually doesn't like to participate in the poetry exchange gatherings of various talented scholars, because he is a relatively weak person, low-key, not very showy, and not very interested in things with talented people. And since the Mid-Autumn Festival Poetry Club became famous, although the quality of Cao Yi's poems is very high, the quantity is very small, which is also known to everyone.

So now it is suddenly rumored that Cao Yi wrote thirty poems and handed them over in order to redeem himself for the former Yu Xuanji, and everyone didn't believe it at first, but since this news came out, Cao Yi has never come out to refute the rumors, and it seems that he has acquiesced to this statement.

What's more interesting is that some talented scholars in order to meet Cao Yi in the Drunken Immortal Building, asked in person if that statement was true, and it turned out that there were really groups of talented people coming to the Drunken Immortal Building every day to drink and party, just to be able to meet Cao Yi, and it turned out that there was really a wave of talented people who met Cao Yi and asked, and after Cao Yi admitted it himself, these talents came less.

At this time, the entire Jiangning City began to make a sensation with Cao Yi's admission, and everyone wanted to go to Jinfeng Tower to see what the first ten words were like for ten days. As for Cao Yi's later addition, "Those thirty poems are just games made up to meet the conditions for redemption, and they can't be true", it was ignored by everyone.

However, Cao Yi didn't care too much about this matter, according to him, "Even if the people outside are noisy, it won't have any impact on me, so let them say!" "And Cao Yi has been really busy these days, first of all, the restaurant in Yangzhou has been built properly, and the three of Red Sleeves, Raider, and Musk Yue have also been busy at the end of the year, and they have been busy training the management personnel of the Zuixian Building in Yangzhou.

First from

Jiangning Zuixian Building selects excellent waiters with leadership and management skills, so that when Yangzhou is ready to open, it will bring a group of backbones over, and then recruit local personnel from Yangzhou as waiters, and then this group of backbones will conduct relevant training for local waiters.

As for the training, they themselves have been trained from rookies who don't know anything to excellent employees now. Therefore, as for how to train other people, you should pay attention to everything in the process, and you can easily do it. Of course, in addition to the preparatory work of Yangzhou Zuixian Building, the one in Hangzhou is now under emergency construction, in addition to completely copying the scale and type of Jiangning Zuixian Building, Cao Yi also asked to increase the local elements of Hangzhou in the construction, what murals can be used in the three pools of the moon, Quyuan wind lotus and other graphics, and the dishes can be added to the local glutinous rice lotus root, West Lake Ulva vegetables, Longjing green cakes, etc., so that the Zuixian Building can be more localized to achieve rapid integration into the Hangzhou market.

This is only the relevant matters of the Drunken Immortal Building, as for the deployment of the Xinghuo Secret Camp, it also needs Cao Yi's side to control and guide. At present, the Xinghuo Secret Camp on the side of Taibai Mountain Villa has been changed to be called the Xinghuo First Battalion, while the one on the Ziji Mountain side is called the Xinghuo Second Battalion, which is now under urgent construction day and night.

Since he had one million taels of silver from the Shen family, Cao Yi is not short of money now, what he lacks is time for development, so he can only exchange money for time, use double the number of workers, pay double the money, and work in two shifts for urgent construction. Recently, Cao Yi also asked Yuan Qing, Liu Baiqing and others to step up their replenishment. The first battalion of Xinghuo is a scale of 500 people, while the second battalion of Xinghuo is too big, so the initial construction of the battalion will be built in a large-scale system, and the second battalion is initially planned to be a scale of 1,000 people.

First, at least half of the old people in the first battalion who had been trained very well were transferred to the second battalion to serve as the captains and commanders of each team, and then they were filled with new recruits. Therefore, looking ahead, whether it is the first battalion or the second battalion, there is an extreme shortage of manpower, so the work of supplementing personnel is still relatively heavy. The reason for this distribution is that it is hoped that the two secret camps can lead the novices through veterans, so that everyone can grow faster, and in the future, new recruits will be trained in this way in other camps.

Early in the morning, Cao Yi rode to Taibai Villa, and he had to agree with Yuan Qing, Liu Baiqing and others about the matter of the Xinghuo Secret Camp before going to Yangzhou. In this way, without him, the two secret camps can develop rapidly. Because at present, it is not appropriate to invest this million taels of silver in Zuixianlou and other businesses of the Taibai Chamber of Commerce, because the management personnel are very scarce, even if there are sufficient funds to expand rapidly, it is useless, and there is no reliable candidate to manage these industries.

But it is feasible to invest money in the secret camp, because whether it is the original Taibai Fifth Division, or the newly added Taibai Dark Guard, as well as the two major military departments of Dust Light and Shadow Killing, it will take a lot of time and money to continue to invest to see results, so if Cao Yi wants to see the results in two or three years, he must invest a lot of money now.
