Jiang Zhi has been stuffing himself in the Pujing Nunnery, at most talking about Buddhism with the women who came to Shangxiang and eating fasting, and then he took care of the lives of nearly 100 little girls. Xu has some kind of talent, Jiang Zhi does certain things in an orderly manner, and the little girls of Pu Jing'an quickly learn to live together.

But after listening to the reason why Xiao Jiang Lan worked hard to make money, Jiang Zhi finally stepped out of the threshold for the first time, went to the back house of the Ma family to thank Liu Susu and others, and then took over Xiao Jiang Lan's money-making channel.

Li Xiang didn't see Jiang Zhi, who was called an evil sect by Ma Rulan and guarded against by Liu Susu in every way, it's funny to think about it, Su Su would actually guard against a little girl who has just passed ten years old...... He booked a private room on the third floor of the Fan Building, and was having a drink with Lin Dayou and some martial artists at the command level of the forbidden military camp to discuss cooperation.

There are different opinions about when Fan Lou was built and who the first generation of controllers was, but there is no doubt that Fan Lou is the first restaurant in several countries, including the Great Zhou.

The Fan Building is divided into five buildings, southeast, northwest and middle, which are connected by a flybridge corridor, each floor is divided into five floors, and the floors are connected by stairs. The flybridge and corridors are carved and painted, and they are extremely luxurious.

Every night, the surrounding walls of the Fan Tower and the four sides of each floor are lit up like day. Merchants and gentry drink and feast all night in it, dignitaries and nobles are staggered in it, and talented and beautiful people wander and play in it, as if in the heavens on earth.

Fan Tower is dozens of meters high, standing on the observation deck of Fan Tower at night, you can see the lights of Bianjing at a glance. Because it was too high, the palace in the west had no secrets, so the west side of each building in the Fan Tower was completely closed.

Fan Lou buys tens of thousands of catties of koji from the government every year, and the brewed wine can be consumed by his own family, and the resale has become a small head. Several of the famous wines produced by Fan Lou are highly sought after, and three of them are for personal use only.

In the Great Zhou, in addition to the popular restaurants to have good wine and food, excellent Qing people are indispensable, and Fan Lou has basically achieved the best in the Great Zhou in this regard. Every year, Fan Lou buys a large number of little girls from Renya, and then teaches them to play and sing, teach them singing and dancing talents, teach them how to talk and behave, and even invite the Master to teach them poetry and scriptures.

The general kabuki in the Fan Building are dressed in gorgeous clothes, bright and moving, and have a variety of styles. The famous Qing people are even more amazing, not only in appearance, "looking like a fairy", but also versatile, and they are also experts in poetry. Liang Hongyu, the most popular prostitute today, is rumored to have a lot of dealings with General Han Shizhong, which has provoked countless talented people in Bianjing to scold him. If it weren't for the fact that today's Great Zhou would not be able to lack a brave general like Han Shizhong, this alone would make General Han unlucky, after all, who would convince a martial artist?

The main building in the center of the Fan Tower could not be entered without a certain identity, and the top floor of the main building only received the emperor and foreign envoys. The private room booked by Li Xiang is located on the third floor of the West Building, which is already a rare and good place, and the use fee for the private room alone is 100 yuan. Listening to the sound of silk and bamboo orchestras and staggered chips outside, Li Xiang secretly said, there are so many rich people in Da Zhou? It seems that I still need to work harder, otherwise I will always be a dirt bun.

There is a pair of grandchildren in Li Xiang's room who perform drums and erhu, and several elders listen in a rough manner, such a scene always reminds Li Xiang of Zhenguanxi and Lu Tishi, and I don't know if there is Lu Ti Ha, a flower monk who causes trouble everywhere in this time and space? After the performance, Li Xiangduo gave the little girl the usual money, and then closed the door and started talking.

Through Ma Rulan, Li Xiang contacted several warriors who were closest to Ma Dutong back then, and five commanders of the forbidden military battalion accepted Li Xiang's invitation. There are also two commanders of the forbidden army who limit their face, one sent his henchmen, and the other sent his own staff. Wang Xiaojiu is the son of Wang Jue's family, and after following Wang Jue back to his hometown, he was soon sent to Bianjing to preside over the Wang family's business.

A commander of the forbidden military camp who looked very unwilling said: "Brother Li Xiang, you are both the son-in-law of Commander Liu and the disciple of Mr. Qingshi, and you will be called Brother Li Xiang in the next coarse person." The charcoal stove and charcoal balls are very good for me to use at home, but can we keep this business? To put it mildly, the eating appearance of those wealthy families in Bianjing is ugly. In the end, the conductor subconsciously lowered his voice.

The staff member sent the proprietor to come on behalf of his command, and he was also puzzled: "Mingyuezhuang's ability to run a business, the proprietor below admires it very much. In the mountains, you can let the men under your command eat meat, and now the Mingyue set is even more prosperous, but the proprietor under also wants to ask, how can it last for a long time? ”

Li Xiang was prepared, got up and poured wine for everyone, and said calmly: "The kid also thinks about this issue, but I don't know if it's comprehensive, so let's take a closer look." The commanding envoy's henchman was about to ask a question, when he heard Li Xiang's words, "The samples of the charcoal furnace and the charcoal ball have been used for many days, and there is no need to say much about the prospects, so the key is to open the market and keep the market." ”

"The problem of opening the market has its own boy to deal with, and the surname of the Great Xiangguo Temple has its own knowledge at the trade conference, so it should not be a big problem. In case of failure, the kid has a backhand...... As for keeping the market and operating the financial resources in the growth period, to be honest, the kid never expected us martial artists to keep good things. ”

Hearing this, a battalion commander with a strong figure was about to shoot the case, but was held down by the battalion commander with an unsatisfactory face. Li Xiang was taken aback, and he was still angry, so he stopped selling Guanzi, "The kid asked something ugly, when did the martial artists of the Great Zhou keep good things?" ”

A sentence was asked, and the martial artists and staff present drank and blushed, and the fierce battalion commander even clenched his fists. Yes, a few years after the founding of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the literati began to tie up the martial artists like dogs.

Li Xiang breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, it seems that these martial artists have already been smoothed out by the scholars and doctors of the Great Zhou, so that Mingyuezhuang will not suffer. "Once the charcoal furnace and the charcoal ball are popular in the world, with the thousands of people in the Great Zhou, can you imagine how big the financial resources are?"

Everyone present fell into deep thought, and then reacted one after another, the benefits in it are simply immeasurable! But then these people became even more depressed, the benefits are great, but how much can they keep?

Li Xiang was like a cunning fox, and he slowly seduced: "Once the charcoal stove, a money-saving appliance that combines heating, cooking, and boiling water, is popular in the big cities of the Great Zhou, not to mention that the gentry and wealthy merchants from all over the country have grabbed the market, the market in Gyeonggi Province will not get much, right?" ”

Including the staff, Li Xiang saw the expression he wanted from the faces of these people, and he was unwilling! Wang Xiaojiu, who had been educated in the clan and had been influenced by Wang Qi, was not too excited, but he admired Li Xiang's methods, and he was very curious about who Li Xiang's demagogic skills learned from. The head of the house? No, Mr. Qingshi's name is so loud, how can he teach his disciples these things? Let's see how Li Xiang solves the problem of keeping his financial resources, Wang Xiaojiu thought in his heart, and then poured a sip of pear blossom brew.

Li Xiang opened a curtain like a trick, some things had already been written on the blackboard, he held chopsticks like a primary school teacher, and said while pointing: "If you want to keep your own financial resources, you must first know who is the opponent who robs us?" ”

On the blackboard, the distribution of forces in Bianjing and the Great Zhou was clear at a glance, and Li Xiang first pointed to Bianjing, "Let's look at Bianjing under our feet first, that is, Gyeonggi Province." Within a radius of 300 miles in Bianjing City, there are no five million, and there are always three million people, and the people of the Great Zhou are almost the richest here, and most of them have some spare money in their hands. As long as this market is opened, then ......"

"But the question is, can a martial artist with a short background really keep his financial resources instead of being a stepping stone for others?" Li Xiang saw that except for Wang Xiaojiu and the commanding staff, everyone else was nervously clenching their fists or pulling their beards, and he was very proud, and then continued: "To solve this problem, we must first understand who our opponent is. Find out who can cooperate, how to confront the people who grab jobs, and who can be wooed......"

Li Xiang held the chalk in his hand and began to write and draw on the blackboard, and the hot-tempered battalion commander shook his head, trying to see a little clearly. Wang Xiaojiu and the staff member glanced at each other, and they both saw the surprise in each other's eyes, and they both saw the value of the blackboard and chalk, although they couldn't see it clearly.

"What are the forces in Bianjing? First of all, the royal family, this should not be said much, anyway, behind the Fan Tower and the most lively Pan Lou at the feet, cough cough...... Then there are the high-ranking officials and rulers of the three provinces and six ministries, and the energy of the Bianjing government does not need to be said...... The big families from all over the country basically have a foot in the business district of Bianjing, and the wealthy businessmen they support control the business in many places, and the energy is also very great...... Finally, there are the Gentry of Gyeonggi Province within a few hundred miles of Bianjing City, who ostensibly compete with us for the charcoal stove and charcoal ball business, and it is these people who set up workshops to steal our food! ”

"Hey!" The fierce and anxious battalion commander suddenly exerted his strength and smashed the solid wood table board with a loud noise, and then the next few rooms were quiet for a while, and soon the steward on duty on the third floor of the west building knocked on the door and entered. Li Xiang covered the blackboard and apologized to the steward again and again, and sent the steward away after agreeing to a high amount of compensation, the battalion commander who caused the trouble was very embarrassed and scratched his head in disdain, Li Xiang just shook his head and continued.

Wang Xiaojiu and the staff gradually saw a little way, it seems that there is a missing link on the power distribution map given by Li Xiang? Although the energy of that class has been continuously suppressed, it is only if it is done to make money...... The eyes of the two lit up, waiting for Li Xiang to reveal the answer.

Li Xiang nodded, thanked Wang Xiaojiu and the staff for their cooperation, and then looked at the rest of the martial artists. Sure enough, they were all confused, and Li Xiang lamented in his heart, no wonder he couldn't fight the big clans and gentry......

"There is still a missing link in Bianjing City, a role is missing, and that is the key to our breakthrough." Then Li Xiang looked at the thoughtful warriors and said the answer, "Jiangmen!" ”

The battalion commander, who had always been anxious, stood up in shock, stammered and couldn't speak, and the battalion commander with an unsatisfactory face trembled with his hands, and subconsciously pinched off a few chopsticks. Wang Xiaojiu and the staff member looked at each other and smiled, guessed right!
