Chapter 116: Li Xiangdie
During the Sui and Tang dynasties, Yangzhou's green building industry was very developed, and even Chang'an City may not be comparable, it is rumored that Yang Guang dug the Grand Canal because he wanted to see the flowers of Yangzhou, maybe the flowers of Yangzhou are really beautiful, but it is more likely that the women of Yangzhou are beautiful.
To be honest, Sun Xiangfu, who has never seen a woman since he left Chang'an, was very itchy when he saw these invitations, men, even if he didn't cheat on his spirit and **, he was also curious, and he really wanted to see what the Oiran-level beauties looked like in this period.
But reason told him that these people were not looking for him, maybe someone was using their name to talk to him about business.
Yangzhou, related to himself is Lu Quanyou, who has opened the workshop of the Food Supervision Division and the farm outside the city, this name was given to him by Sun Xiangfu, and in Xingfu Village, he was called Lu San.
However, his mission to Yangzhou was only to take the villagers to farm, Sun Xiangfu did not send him a letter, and he didn't even know the specific time when Sun Xiangfu came to Yangzhou, so it must be that the Food Supervision Department was targeted.
Soon, Lin Wenfu was called over by Sun Xiangfu, and after some inquiry, Sun Xiangfu learned about the situation.
It turned out that the drama that became popular in Chang'an was passed on by the people of Yangzhou, especially after a Chang'an prostitute named Li Xiangdie introduced the singing section to Yangzhou, which suddenly made the people of Yangzhou crazy, although Sun Xiangfu did not go to Yangzhou, but Yangzhou already had many of his fans.
Several powerful partners have purchased more than 10,000 acres of granges outside Yangzhou, and the news that they want to open the Wangjianglou branch in Yangzhou cannot be concealed from Yangzhou officialdom at all, and even, when they bought the land, they used their relationship.
When the conspicuous ship of the Happiness came to the dock, and Lin Wenfu, a hot figure in Yangzhou, greeted him at the dock recently, the news spread quickly, and someone went to Lin Wenfu to inquire here, and they knew that the chief officer of the Food Supervision Division, the popular drama of Chang'an, and the actor Sun Zhengming of the White Snake Legend arrived in Yangzhou.
If you want to ask why Lin Wenfu has become a hot figure in Yangzhou, it is not because Huainan is rich in soybeans, but last year, the newly arrived governor of Yangzhou, Shi Wushitong, ordered all large households to plant at least half of their fields with soybeans, and two more crops a year.
This food supervision department is currently the only institution in Yangzhou that collects a large number of soybeans, so many soybeans in the hands of large households, of course, they want to sell a good price, otherwise, Yangzhou does not raise horses, so many soybeans do they want to sell themselves to the north, so there is a lot of relationship with Lin Wenfula, among these people, especially landlords and businessmen.
Yangzhou is different from the city culture of Chang'an and Luoyang, the waterway here is developed, more business-oriented, it is a stop for overseas countries to enter the Tang Dynasty and go to Chang'an, there are not so many Hu people in Chang'an, but there are more Nanyang, Goryeo Japanese people.
Sun Xiangfu, who was specially dressed up, took his fifty guards to wander around the street, and then went to a place called Chunjiang Tower.
"Jun Mai, you said that I had a private meeting with the four major Oiran in Yangzhou, if Xiu'er knew about it, would she be angry with me?"
"Well, you don't have to think about this! Definitely, or else, if you have a business, you can talk about it, this woman! I'll help you get there? ”
"It's better to see each other together, but afterwards! You've seen me, haven't you, you know? ”
"I don't know ······ very well"
"You must understand."
The two chatted like this, and after a while, they arrived at Chunjiang Tower.
"Hey, this person's costume is so strange, is he Xu Xian?"
Upstairs in Chunjiang, with the arrival of Sun Xiangfu with a large group of guards, it suddenly became lively, he was specially dressed, naturally shirt, trousers and leather boots, with politeness on his head, he took a paper folding fan in his hand, just a pair of sunglasses to shade the sun, he can return to the Republic of China period, who called Yangzhou in late April is already very hot, if he is on the boat, Sun Xiangfu will definitely wear silk shorts shirt and slippers.
Of course, Sun Xiangfu wears this dress is useful, he wants to open the market for this new dress, promote the leather goods of the Animal Husbandry Division and the fashion of his own ready-to-wear shop, lead the trend culture, and promote it to Yangzhou, before the 50,000 pieces of leather goods from the Animal Husbandry Division, in Luoyang but a piece did not get off the ship, one is because Luoyang is too close to Chang'an, there is no need for that, and the other is that the city culture does not allow.
It's different to come to Yangzhou, it's far away from Chang'an, and it's different from Hu Feng in Chang'an, there are a lot of people from Nanyang countries here, and they wear more short fights, they may take these outfits as the latest popular things in Chang'an, so Sun Xiangfu didn't come empty-handed today, a few pairs of high heels worn by women are the gifts he brought to the Oiran in Yangzhou.
"Do you remember the little girl?"
Chunjiang Lou is not a traditional restaurant, but the leader of Yangzhou Qinglou industry, usually welcomes guests is dressed up in flowers, today, there is a new Oiran Li Xiangdie personally greeted guests, but let those onlookers feast their eyes, and her dress, is once appeared on the stage of Wangjiang Lou a half-back long skirt, in Chang'an, Nie Sanniang's ready-to-wear shop is sold.
"Uh, this official hasn't been to the Qinglou in Chang'an, the girl's name?"
From Sun Xiangfu's point of view, Li Xiangdie is not a beautiful posture, because his aesthetic concept is somewhat different from that of people in this era, due to the prevalence of Hu Feng, the Tang Dynasty, especially Chang'an, is to be beautiful with big men and plump women, and Sun Xiangfu prefers a small jasper type like Yu Xiuer.
Li Xiangdie deliberately made a look of complaint when she heard this, but in her heart, she was happy, and she didn't recognize it well!
"The drama of Wangjiang Tower, Xiangdie has not missed it all the time, but she doesn't want to fall into the eyes of Lord Sun."
Every time the drama starts with so many guests, besides, in Sun Xiangfu's opinion, Li Xiangdie is not a beauty, and she usually nests in a private room with Wang Lin and others, Sun Xiangfu remembers it.
"Hey, Wangjianglou is crowded, the official really can't remember it! It's not too late to meet the girl today! Sun Xiangfu said, he had already followed Li Xiangdie's footsteps into the Chunjiang Building, but he didn't want to be empty inside, so he actually cleared the scene for him.
"My lord, I've seen it before and after, it's safe."
After a while, Zhao Long came to Sun Xiangfu's case, and after whispering a word, the iron tower stood behind him, and in inverse proportion, it was Xi Junmai, who sat down to eat and drink on the table next to Sun Xiangfu without any image, looking very irresponsible.
"Bang bang."
After Li Xiangdie poured a glass of wine for Sun Xiangfu, she raised her hand and clapped her hands three times, and suddenly, a group of girls dressed in exposed hemispheres and thighs entered and began to dance with the music.
"Well, there's plenty of foreplay." Sun Xiangfu secretly praised in his heart, then squinted his eyes and began to appreciate this tempting dance, thinking about it, those gentlemen in Chang'an City usually visit the Qinglou, and they are also these projects.
Xi Junmai, who was sitting in the first place, even pulled one of the girls into his arms, and while getting his hands up and down, he let the girl pour wine into his mouth, with a very enjoyable expression.
"My girl from Chunjiang Building, can she still be in the eyes of adults?" Li Xiangdie, who was adding wine to Sun Xiangfu's dishes on the side, asked Sun Xiangfu in a low voice after more than half of the dance.
"Although kitsch is a little kitsch, the foundation is good, and they have a fatal temptation to some special groups."
Sun Xiangfu said this, Li Xiangdie's face showed a hint of pride, Yangzhou's Fengyue team's ability to absorb gold is no worse than Chang'an, which is also one of the reasons why she gave up Chang'an and ran to Yangzhou, however, these are not the key points she wants to show Sun Xiangfu, with a sexy dance, immediately a few people holding pipa yaoqin and other musical instruments began to perform.
"Hey, the soundtrack in the Legend of the White Snake is played with great charm."
Sun Xiangfu glanced at Li Xiangdie, who was becoming more and more proud, with some surprise, you must know that the soundtrack of the White Snake uses a variety of musical instruments to play together, late and early, and what parts are played, there are very detailed arrangements, this Li Xiangdie actually wrote down the whole by ear, and her musical attainments are really not shallow.
"How about it, if the adult's Wangjianglou comes to Yangzhou to open a branch, the little girl's group of artists should be the best candidate for cooperation!"
"You're waiting for me here! I wondered, why is everyone staring at the Wangjiang branch, who is your master? ”
"Is this heavy?"
"It's very important! When I choose partners, I generally want to be honest, reputable, and innocent. Sun Xiangfu looked at Li Xiangdie, who was about to put his chest on his body.
"These are not problems, the proprietor of our Chunjiang Building is a big family living in Yangzhou, the Zhu family." Li Xiangdie seems to have expected it.
"Zhu, Zhang, Gu, Lu's Zhu? That's the head of the four major families in Yangzhou! Sun Xiangfu was a little surprised when he heard this.
Farm and Wangjianglou want to develop in Yangzhou, Sun Xiangfu naturally also collected some information about Yangzhou, these four clans not only control nearly half of the land in Yangzhou, but also master the restaurant, salt, tea, silk, shipping and other businesses, in Yangzhou business circles, they are the only existence.
However, Sun Xiangfu is a little worried, often this kind of partner who can meet your needs suddenly appears, all with a purpose, these four must have a purpose.
"That's right, it's not just Chunjiang Building, no matter if you are a guest in that restaurant today, there will be people from the four major families to receive you, and the industries of the four major families have always been one and the same." Li Xiangdie continued to say in Sun Xiangfu's ear.
Hearing this, Sun Xiangfu understood what Li Xiangdie meant, and the four major families in Yangzhou also didn't want the newly opened Wangjiang Tower to touch their interests, so they wanted to cooperate with Sun Xiangfu, and let Sun Xiangfu see their strength first.
"If you want to cooperate with Wangjianglou, the people you have trained are not enough, you should know that a drama performance in Wangjianglou, in front of and behind the scenes, hundreds of people work together at every turn, so ······"
"Adults don't need to worry, as long as you nod your head, Yangzhou Fengyue Field, thousands of singing and dancing artists can be picked by adults, and there is no need for adults to pay a penny, Wangjianglou Yangzhou branch can be opened, and the scale is guaranteed to be not less than Chang'an." Li Xiangdie seemed to have eaten Sun Xiangfu and said in one breath.
Sun Xiangfu was secretly frightened when he heard this, the courage of these four families is not small, and the strength is even stronger, dare to open a large restaurant in Yangzhou, which has a population of less than half of Chang'an, which is not less than the scale of Chang'an Wangjianglou, this is to have more confidence in the source of customers!
