No matter how many bandits are on the road and the people's livelihood is withering, Luoyang City is still prosperous.

There are many restaurants and restaurants on the side of the street, dart bureau martial arts, theater green buildings, high-gate mansions, more freshly dressed and angry horses, the life of wealthy families, and who can see Fanbang Hu merchants everywhere, foreign goods, a prosperous scene.

Whether it is Guan Yu, or Xiao Wu and others, they are all coming to Luoyang for the first time, and they have never seen such a prosperous world before.

This time I came to Luoyang to do important things, to promote Taibaijiu, and to praise Zhou Yi's reputation. In the future, I can't say that I want to be resident in Luoyang. Zhou Yi decided to buy a house in Luoyang, or rent a house. In fact, it is the same whether the house in Luoyang is bought or not, and it will be burned down by Dong Zhuo in a few years. However, in recent years, it is still necessary to find a place to live, and it is not convenient for a large group of people to stay in the hotel. Zhou Yi still has to find a stronghold in Luoyang City.

Luoyang's real estate market is far less hot than that of the first-tier cities in later generations, but it is also expensive. Fortunately, the reward of Zhou Yi when he was the marquis was still in Shaofu, and it was more than enough to buy an ordinary house with this money.

When Zhou Yi took the documents to Shaofu to receive the reward, the officials of Shaofu pushed back that there was no money in the account, so Zhou Yi was asked to wait for a while. Zhou Yi was depressed for a while. How can you encounter this kind of kickbacks and bribes in any era. For example, if you want to take a loan from the bank, you will give a certain rebate to the operator, and if you want to get the project money back smoothly, at least the goods must be in place.

Zhou Yi also knew the appetite of the Shaofu officials under various explicit hints from the Shaofu, and before the reward reached Zhou Yi's hands, he had to pay about one-third of the hardship fee first. This can make Guan Yu and Xiao Wu and others so popular that they can't wait to kill the officials of the Shaofu. Zhou Yi held down everyone, this kind of thing is indispensable in any era, and the officials in the Lingdi period have intensified in this regard because of the matter of selling officials and ten permanent servants.

The geese have been plucked, not to mention the money has been plucked once. When the Yellow Turban Rebellion was suppressed, Lu Zhi, who was the commander of the North Road, did not bribe Zuo Feng, the little yellow gate, and after Zuo Feng returned to the palace, he slandered Emperor Ling, causing Lu Zhi to be imprisoned. The power of the villain should not be underestimated. Villains can't do things, but villains can do bad things.

The gentleman suffers and the gentleman becomes a gentleman, and the villain has his own villain grinding. The villain's thing is the most disgraceful.

Zhou Yi actually wants to calm things down, if the officials of the Shaofu want a little less, Zhou Yi may also give it. It's just that the appetite of the Shaofu officials is too great, and Zhou Yi has no money to give it even if he wants to.

In fact, there is a deeper relationship here.

Zhou Yi, as the marquis of Guannei canonized by the imperial court, still received many people's attention when he came to Luoyang this time, and the family did not want Zhou Yi to stay in Luoyang, and the farther away from the political center, the better. Shaofu wants so many kickbacks, which inevitably has no intention of the above. Many people look at Zhou Yi's jokes, if Zhou Yi is obedient and regresses this time, those people will look down on Zhou Yi even more, and feel that Zhou Yi is easy to bully, so they will intensify their efforts and gain inch by inch until Zhou Yi is driven out of Luoyang.

went to meet General Zang Min, and when Zhou Yi sent the post to the general's mansion, he learned that General Zang Min had gone to Yizhou on a business trip and would not be able to come back in a short time.

I still don't believe it, at the foot of the imperial city, Lang Lang Qiankun can still call the villain in charge, Zhou Yi took Guan Yu Xiaowu and others to directly block the entrance of Shaofu, and no one is allowed to enter or leave. The officials of the Shaofu saw that this was okay, and no one had ever rushed to make trouble at the gate of the Shaofu, but they could not alarm the city defense army. summoned a group of splashers, and the gangsters came to trouble Zhou Yi and others. Maybe the officials of the Shaofu are used to being pampered and pampered, and they forget how Zhou Yi's reward was obtained, which was exchanged for war exploits.

On the battlefield, they all fight with their lives, don't fight too easily, and beat the gangsters with one hand to cry dad and call mom, taking advantage of the chaos, I don't know who beat the young government officials who embarrassed Zhou Yi and others with a blue nose and swollen face.

The dignified Shaofu, one of the Jiuqing departments of the Han Dynasty, became the biggest joke in the entire Luoyang City. The reward of the marquis represents the face of the Han court and the emperor, and let Shaofu and Zhou Yi and others work together to make chicken feathers.

Shaofu Zhongcheng had no choice but to come forward in person to express his heartfelt and deep apologies to Zhou Yi. To ask how deep the apologies are, the depth of a house. After listening to what happened, Shaofu Zhongcheng knew that Shaofu was being used by someone to test Guan Neihou's gun. In order to befriend Zhou Yi, when he heard that Zhou Yi intended to buy a house, he immediately used the privilege of Shaofu to assign a house under the name of the government to Zhou Yi as a Hou Mansion.

In this way, Zhou Yi not only got the reward he deserved, but also got a marquis's mansion by mistake. I have to say that it is indeed not simple to be a person who can be a young man, at least he is open-minded and cares about the face of the court. This matter was done, which not only demonstrated the magnanimity of the imperial court, but also made Zhou Yi and others satisfied. This is a confrontation between the officials of a wealthy family and Zhou Yi, who was born in a poor family. Although the number of participants was small and there were no celebrities, the first confrontation between Zhou Yi and the Luoyang nobles ended with Zhou Yi gaining a mansion.

Small win!

We are also people with real estate in the imperial capital, and Zhou Yi is still a little proud in his heart.

With real estate, there was no need to stay in an inn anymore, so everyone moved into the Zhou Mansion (except for a few first official positions in this era, no one used the title of the imperial court to open the mansion, except for the mansion rewarded by the imperial court, of course).

During the day, everyone took Taibai wine out to talk about cooperation with the owners of every inn, restaurant, green building, and theater, and at night, everyone got together to analyze the gains and losses of the day, as well as what was not done well. Listening to everyone's discussion, today we negotiated a restaurant again, and how many jars of wine do we need for a certain inn, Zhou Yi seems to have returned to the days of entrepreneurship in the future.

With the opening of the fame of Taibai liquor and the spread of "Will Enter Wine" through the ages, the entire Luoyang City knew that the Guannei Hou, who was canonized by the imperial court, launched a new liquor.

"You don't see, the water of the Yellow River comes up from the sky, and it doesn't come back."

"Life must be happy, don't make the gold bottle empty to the moon."

"The ancient sages were all lonely, and only the drinker left his name."

……

Now I'm afraid that even a reader or even a street child will recite a few lines of poetry about going into wine, and for a while, Zhou Yiwen was famous. Although Zhou Zhouyi insisted that the wine was written by Taibai, everyone still attributed the poem to the name of Guan Neihou.

Taibai liquor was instantly fried by the scholars to ten gold and one jar, and ten gold was half a year's expenditure of the well-off family of the Han Dynasty. This was something Zhou Yi didn't expect, he didn't see Guan Yu, Xiao Wu and the others saw that a jar of wine could earn so much, and they thought they were dreaming for a while.

It's really poverty that limits the imagination. There are really a lot of rich people in Luoyang.

When the business was on the right track, Zhou Yi handed over everything to Xiao Wu and the others. He and Guan Yu went to meet with officials and celebrities in the name of Guan Neihou. Let's see if you can get a recommendation and enter the official system of the imperial court. After all, the current Han still implements the probation system, and if you want to be an official, you have to be recommended. Although he can (buy) an official now, Zhou Yi doesn't want to take a path for the time being. Buying an official position and being a strong party has no effect on Zhou Yi's accumulation of contacts. (buying) officials also have side effects, which are easy to be ridiculed by the world, and have a great impact on fame.

Unexpectedly, none of those wealthy families, princes and ministers were willing to see Zhou Yi, and they were all porters who coped with things. Some time ago, Zhou Yi blocked the door of Shaofu, and now the sequelae have appeared, and the entire Luoyang officialdom thinks that Zhou Yi is an outlier, a poor son of shit luck, rude and barbaric.

It seems that finding someone to recommend this road will not work, and I have to think of another way.
