Bamboo Garden and Lingxian are the most upscale places in Wuyi, before Li Ze opened Lingxian, Zhuyuan was the main place for the magnates in the north to communicate, and later Lingxian opened, this piece was naturally transferred to Lingxian Restaurant. Zhuyuan didn't have the courage to compete with Lingxian, and its focus gradually shifted to the rich. As long as you have enough silver dollars, you can get the highest level of enjoyment here.

In fact, when it comes to the excellent service and exquisite food, Lingxian is far from being comparable to Zhuyuan, but who makes the backstage boss of Lingxian Li Ze?

Of course, if wealthy officials want to enjoy it, they will still choose Bamboo Garden.

Generally speaking, the vast majority of officials in the Tang Dynasty are rich, and officials like Wu Jin are rare after all.

Bamboo Garden is a real wealth.

After entering Chang'an, they directly found Wang Mingyi and bought the best manor from him. This manor used to be a royal courtyard, and the most rare thing is that a small and a half of this mansion is far into the Xuanwu Lake.

After Li Ze entered Chang'an, royal palaces like this and more mansions of nobles and wealthy people who had no owners were all sent by Li Ze to the Department of Commerce for auction.

There are no strings attached, in short, the highest price wins.

In order to get this house, Zhuyuan paid a price of 500,000 silver dollars to scare off all the competitors.

After getting it, the Bamboo Garden excavated the peninsula into the lake and turned it into a real island, and on the island, there is only one building, that is, the theater of the Bamboo Garden. All the maiko, kabuki, and musicians who got from the palace lived here.

After stepping on this island and entering this theater through the covered bridge across the lake, Qian Biao had to admit that in front of these big businessmen from Wuyi, he was really an out-and-out bun.

The flamboyance of the merchants in the north surprised Qian Biao a lot.

But he knew that the center had always been short of money.

Aren't these people afraid that one day the court will suddenly turn its face and come to catch a turtle in a Weng?

With this doubt, under the guidance of Jiang He, Qian Biao walked into a box, while the other Hunan delegates were led to the scattered seats below by the theater staff.

Standing on the edge of the box, you can get a better view of the big stage below. Qian Biao looked up and counted about one, and there were about eight or nine such boxes in the entire theater. Below, there are scattered seats, and the entire Grand Theater can seat about four or five hundred people.

Even the scattered seats are in the form of a staircase, and the large stage is at the bottom, surrounded by these staircase-like clusters, around which there is a semicircular trench, which is now full of musicians, who are busy adjusting their instruments.

The layout of this stage is completely different from some of the stages Qian Biao has seen before, and at the same time, it is refreshing, but it also takes into account that everyone can clearly see the performance on the stage.

People from big places are really different. Qian Biao said silently in his heart.

In fact, the rise of Wuyi is only a matter of more than ten years, and before that, Qian Biao didn't know where Wuyi was.

"Governor Qian, don't look at this theater is very big, but the construction and decoration of the house are all designed by the master, ensuring that no matter where you sit, there will be no obstruction in your line of sight, and there will be no corner where you can't hear the singing, and the end is amazing!" Jiang He laughed.

"It was an eye-opener!" Qian Biao nodded again and again: "I'm afraid this investment is extremely big, right?" ”

Jiang He smiled: "Isn't it just big? But you see, this theater is staged every ten days, and the ticket for each performance is ten silver dollars, and after one performance, it is almost five thousand taels. A month is fifteen thousand, and a year is a hundred and tens of thousands of silver dollars. Moreover, which one came here and only watched two performances? Eat, drink and be merry, this is a one-stop service. Generally speaking, when you step through this door, you will have a few hundred silver dollars out of your pocket. ”

Qian Biao smiled: "I didn't bring so much money today!" ”

"Today we only watch the play, and we will leave after watching it!" Jiang He smiled: "But the governor is only afraid that he must also be prepared, I am afraid that at this time, someone will already come to visit you." ”

"The president of the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce you are talking about?"

"I'm afraid it's not just him!" Jiang Hedao: "There are many well-informed people! It is this bamboo garden that will also reveal the news that some important people are coming to certain people, and some people are willing to pay a lot of money for these news. ”

Qian Biao's face changed slightly: "I don't have anything worthy of their investment." ”

Qian Biao didn't know anything else, but he knew that Li Ze was extremely disgusted with corruption, even a big man like Shen Congxing, if he made a mistake, he would inevitably be stabbed at the mouth of the vegetable market, compared to Shen Congxing, is he a ball?

Jiang He shook his head and said, "They are not here to bribe you, they just want to get to know you in order to get a chance." And such an opportunity is a win-win outcome for the local community and for them. ”

Qian Biao stared at Jiang He, "Jiang Langzhong, you seem to have something to say?" Are you trying to introduce me to someone? ”

Jiang He laughed: "Governor Qian is really powerful, but I was also entrusted by the boss of Zhuyuan, in order to let me bring you this sentence, they gave me a VIP card for one year." With this VIP card, I can come and eat and drink for free for a year. ”

"Who's so big?" After understanding the consumption level of Zhuyuan, Qian Biao was also surprised.

"Yelu Fengze!" River and river channels.

Sure enough, he is also an extravagant figure, the head of the Boxing Trading Company, and the representative of the interests of the Khitan people in Datang.

"My Hunan is now only controlling more than a dozen counties around Dongting Lake, where can a character like Yelu Fengze look down on us?" Qian Biao groaned. He has now turned into a local magistrate, around Yueyang, years of war, economic exhaustion to the extreme, if a super businessman like Yelu Fengze is willing to go to Hunan, he can't ask for it. But this person suddenly begged to come to the door, so he couldn't help but think about it, what he had that this guy could plot.

Merchants, no profit can not afford to be early.

But it doesn't hurt to see it, the initiative is in your own hands anyway, as long as you stand firm, you are naturally not afraid of what these people will do.

"Then let's meet!" Qian Biao said with a smile: "Jiang Langzhong has worked hard for a certain run, and he can't let your VIP card this year be disappointed." ”

"See you together?" Jiang He laughed a little narrowly.

Qian Biao was slightly flustered, and then he also reacted, isn't there still a businessman from Zhejiang? See you then. No matter what they want to do, if they are more present and they are all above the mall, competition will naturally form, or they can also profit from it.

"Then I'll arrange it!" Jiang He smiled and got up.

A moment later, a young man with a lofty spirit and a middle-aged man with a rich state appeared in the box at the same time.

The young one is naturally Yelu Fengze of Boxing Trading Company, and the other is Yang Zhong, president of the West Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce.

Boxing Trading Company is a rising star with fierce momentum, while the West Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce has a long history and profound heritage.

However, what Qian Biao didn't expect was that although these two were not on the right path with each other, when facing Qian Biao, they never mentioned business matters, just asked for warmth and picked up some interesting things about the countryside.

However, between the seemingly casual conversation between the two, Qian Biao also understood the intentions of the two.

Boxing Trading Company started as an animal husbandry, and now has two pillar industries, one is textiles and the other is shipping. Yelu Fengze had just returned from the Western Regions, and where, he had reached a huge agreement with Xue Ping. Boxing Trading Company was originally mainly engaged in wool weaving, because they were Khitans, so they had a unique advantage, almost monopolized the wool textile industry of the Tang Dynasty, and now, they have extended their hands to cotton spinning. This time I went to the Western Regions to discuss this matter with Xue Ping. Xue Ping will vigorously promote cotton cultivation in the Western Regions, while the Boxing Trading Company will set up several large cotton mills in the Western Regions, and he will order all the cotton grown there. After completing this huge business layout, he extended his hand to the silk industry.

Hunan embroidery is as famous as Suzhou embroidery, Guangdong embroidery, and Shu embroidery, and Yang Zhong of the Zhejiang West Chamber of Commerce found himself, but he was afraid that he was also aiming at this.

The goal of the two is the same, so naturally there is competition.

Nowadays, Guangdong embroidery, Shu embroidery, because of the commercial blockade of the Tang Dynasty, can hardly leave the country half a step, and Hunan embroidery is also very small production, the popular is Suzhou embroidery, Zhejiang West Yangzhong layout in advance, want to include Hunan embroidery in the bag, and Yelu Fengze is to step into this industry, naturally also want to take the lead and compete with Suzhou embroidery.

After figuring out this, Qian Biao was very happy, as long as they asked for something, then they could ask for more. Although he now only controls a dozen counties around Dongting Lake, if he really wants to operate these dozen counties vigorously in a very short period of time, he can not only demonstrate his ability to govern the locality, but also form a great siphon effect on the places controlled by Ding Taiyi in Hunan. That's a big credit.

As soon as I thought of this, I was relieved, knowing that these two people were just here to recognize the door, and when they looked back, they would inevitably come to visit separately, and then it was a good opportunity to talk about conditions. With the addition of these big financiers, it is natural to accelerate the rapid recovery of Hunan.

In the current Tang Dynasty, one of the biggest criteria for the assessment of Fumin officials is the wealth of the common people. An official who can make the pockets of the common people bulge quickly is a capable official, a good official.
