"The road of life, the dream is like a long road, the wind and frost in the road, the wind and frost are dry, in the red dust, the dream has a few directions, looking for the crazy dream center love, the road is boundless..."

With a burst of singing, the shadow puppet show came to an end, the curtains on both sides were opened, the sunlight leaked in, and the light in the theater was great, Yang Xuangan held the empty popcorn paper bag, and it took a while to recall that it was daytime.

"Little Wubo, please."

Yuwen 15 on the side raised his glass, Yang Xuangan immediately picked up the cup on the case, and after the cup was separated from Yuwen 15, he drank it all.

"Yuwen Sima, this shadow puppet show really lives up to its reputation." Under the soda stomach, Yang Xuangan resisted the urge to burp and praised: "Changle Fang, compared to the music Fang in Chang'an and Yecheng, it is not much better." ”

"Where is it, in the remote place of Xiyang, the small Changle Fang, how dare you compare with the music Fang in Chang'an and Yecheng."

"Yuwen Sima Mo wants to be vain, in my opinion, this Xiyang shadow puppet show, the sound and light are excellent, the plot is relaxed, if it is staged in Chang'an and Yecheng, there will be no one like it."

"Ouch, Xiao Wubo said so, I didn't dare to answer."

"Yuwen Sima is so twisted, how many glasses should he be punished?"

"Three glasses, three glasses! I can't drink any more!"

In the box, Yang Xuangan and Yuwen Fifteen praised each other again, although they had only met for a few days, but now the two of them are like friends for many years, sitting together and drinking and talking, not to mention that the two of them speak with a Guanzhong accent, in this Shannan, which is full of Chu Yin, it seems very cordial.

In the past few days, the Son of Heaven has been listening to lectures in the state school, and in order to show his closeness to the people, he deliberately traveled lightly and simply, so that the guards were a little redundant, and Yang Xuan, who was a little palace uncle, was naturally bored.

As soon as people are free, there will be more entertainment, Yang Xuangan has no relatives and friends in Huangzhou, but there is a "fellow villager in Guanzhong" Yuwen Fifteen, and Yuwen Fifteen, who is Sima of Huangzhou, is considered the host, so it is reasonable to invite fellow villager Yang Xuangan to drink.

If you look at the words on the table, it is taboo for foreign ministers to have close contacts with the generals of the Praetorian Guard, if you look at the background, Yang Xuangan, who was born in the Yang family of Hongnong and is the son of an official eunuch, and Yuwen Fifteen, who was born as a domestic slave, are originally different from the noble and low, and should not be mixed together.

However, now the situation is special, no one will talk about "internal and external secrets", and if according to the official rank, Yang Xuangan is the official of the fourth life, and Yuwen fifteenth is the Sima of the Eight Lives State (the number of households in Huangzhou is more than 30,000, and it is the Eight Lives State), and the rank is six lives, which is three levels higher than Yang Xuangan, which is enough to erase the difference in origin.

Yuwen Fifteen followed the instructions of Yuwen Wen, the king of Xiyang, to have a good relationship with the people around the Son of Heaven as much as possible, to be a good host, and not to expect to form allies, at least not to let the other party feel left out.

So he treated him to a treat every chance he had, and he drank all day after day.

Eating, drinking, and having fun, this kind of thing Yuwen Fifteen is the best at, when he was still in Chang'an, the children of the powerful formed a small circle, flying eagles and lackeys all day long, looking for fun, Yuwen Fifteen followed Lang Lord Yuwen Wen in different small circles, nothing has been seen, nothing has been played.

Yang Xuangan, who is also in the social circle of the children of the powerful, is also very proficient in eating, drinking and having fun, Chang'an is a first-class metropolis in the world, and he has never seen anything in the world, so when the two veterans who are acting on the scene meet each other, they instantly burn like dry firewood.

Yuwen 15 is the big owner behind Changle Fang, and all kinds of entertainment projects in his own industry have been walked over again, which makes Yang Xuan feel quite like watching chess, especially this shadow puppet show "A Chinese Ghost Story", all kinds of "special effects" are not available in other acrobatic plays.

If it weren't for Yuwenwen's repeated orders, it was strictly forbidden to do leather and meat business, and it was strictly forbidden to have "Guan-style service", and the business of Changle Fang would still be hot.

Although Yuwen 15 didn't know what "Guan-style service" was, but Lord Lang said that if he couldn't do it, he wouldn't do it, and Lord Lang explained that he wanted to do a good job, and he had to do it well.

What is a good relationship? It's actually about making friends.

The friendship of gentlemen is avoided, it is too clear and high, Yuwen fifteen can't play, he can detect that Yang Xuangan, the little palace uncle, has an active mind, and a person with an active mind is much easier to deal with.

In short, Yuwen 15 wants to reveal the "temptation" of the Xiyang King to smart people, this kind of thing can only be understood but not spoken, and only smart people can understand.

What is "temptation"? That's the benefits.

The eunuchs have a big family and a large cost, and if they want to compare themselves with others, they have to spend money, and the servants have to wear silk and satin, and they must use good fabrics to make obstacles when traveling, and the degree of food and clothing can not be worse than that of other families, which are all piled up by money, grain, and cloth.

These expenses are not enough to rely on the fortune, and it is also a little tight to rely on the food estate, and the ancestral cellar of gold, silver and copper coins is easy to move, so it has to run the industry.

Only by relying on the profits from operating the industry can the huge expenses of the family be supported, and a lot of money, food and cloth will be wasted to usher in the send-off, call friends, and have fun.

The fastest and most profitable business is usury, but in the capital and several metropolises there are many magnates who lend usury, and there are many monks and few porridges, which leads to fierce competition, and there is no competition for usury in other places, so how to operate other industries to supplement the household is a problem that many officials and eunuchs must consider.

And the "temptation" of King Xiyang lies in this: cooperate and make a fortune together.

Of course, Yuwen Fifteen couldn't say it directly, he asked Yang Xuan to feel that Changle Fang was having fun, but he just revealed some news from time to time during the conversation, and if the other party understood, he would naturally understand.

If you don't understand, or pretend you don't understand, you will wake up the next day and treat it as if there is no such thing.

And Yuwen Fifteen can be clear, Yang Xuangan understands, as for whether it will "cooperate" in the future, it depends on the chance, but Yuwen Fifteen is sure that the other party can't withstand the "temptation".

The trade route of Huangzhou merchants has passed through Jiangzhou and is connected with Lingbiao, and even the specialties of Jiaozhou will arrive in Huangzhou along this trade route, so the scale of Huangzhou's commerce will become larger and larger.

Purchasing goods from Xiyang and transporting them to other places for resale, the profit is not small, if the properties under the names of the official eunuch families are intentional, they want to take a share of the pie on a tailwind boat, and it is right to find the king of Xiyang.

Of course, people who do business together, should turn their faces or turn their faces at critical times, but one more friend in business will have one more way, this is good karma, of course, the more the merrier.

Yang Xuangan father and son, Yuwen fifteen understands, so we have to work hard to fight for it, from ancient times to the present, the status of businessmen has always been very low, so it is necessary to "collude with officials and businessmen" or collude with local snakes, Huangzhou businessmen in various trade routes, there will be asylators.

He even invited Yu Wenhua, and there was no reason not to invite the "neutral" Yang Xuangan to drink.

After eating, drinking, and having fun, the next step is the finale, which is the favorite gift-giving.

Gift-giving is a skill, with gold and silver stuffed into people's hands, simple and rude, the effect is very poor, this way of gift-giving, and to the music without ordering wine and food, listening to music directly to the little lady stripped naked, pushed down as boring.

Yuwen fifteen took out a set of books, and said to Yang Xuangan with a smile: "Little Gongbo, a certain set of hand-copied ancient book fragments found in the bookstore, which seems to be precious and abnormal, and now it is given to Xiao Gongbo, this is just a small gift, please smile." ”

Yang Xuangan pushed again and again, and finally "couldn't resist" Yuwen Fifteen's enthusiasm, "reluctantly" accepted this set of "handwritten fragments", he quietly touched these books that claimed to be ancient books, and found that there were things in them, and he couldn't help but move in his heart.

This is a thread-bound book that has only appeared in recent years, and you are really embarrassed to say that it is an ancient book!

However, the many papers sandwiched in the book are supposed to be famous circulation coupons in Xiyang City, right?
