Chapter 129: Zongzheng Society (Third Watch)
Within a few days, the "heaven and earth" had already caused a sensation in the entire Bianliang City.
The Qinglou, which integrates literature and art, health care and great health care, undoubtedly leads the fashion and trend of Qinglou culture in this era, and makes those big health care enthusiasts flock to it.
And the cheongsam, stockings and high heels created by Zhao Hao led the trend of Qinglou clothing.
Even the seven sons of the Cai family were full of praise and lingered, which undoubtedly gave Zhao Hao a lot of publicity, which made countless rich sons come here.
For a time, in front of the door of "heaven and earth", there was a lot of traffic and an endless stream.
Especially in the first half month of the opening, there are queues for health care almost every day.
At first, it was only some rich sons, gentlemen and wealthy businessmen, and some officials below the fifth rank came to visit, and later even the big people above the third rank also came.
Even, even a super Confucian like Zhou Bangyan heard all the fun of "heaven and earth", and secretly came to experience it.
Zhou Bangyan is sixty-two years old, and as a lifter of Dasheng Mansion, it stands to reason that he can't play the big sword, but the rhythm and dance performance of the cheongsam beauty is very impressive to him, and the gentle and considerate, soothing and invigorating massage technique makes him feel comfortable and energetic.
That night, Zhou Bangyan, who had passed the age of the sixtieth year, stayed in the "heaven and earth" at night, not for the wind and moon, but for health care.
That night was the most restful and solid sleep Zhou Bangyan had ever slept in half of his life......
In the Song Dynasty, prostitutes were neither advocated nor forbidden. With Zhou Bangyan's publicity, those officials who love Fengyue also dressed up in disguise and secretly went to the "heaven and earth" to be greedy for a while.
The booming business has made Zhao Hao a lot of profits. The daily turnover is more than 2,000 yuan, and in addition to various expenses, the net income is also more than 1,000 yuan. I have to say that big health care is indeed a profiteering industry, ancient and modern, so wildfires are inexhaustible, and the spring breeze blows and grows.
According to this trend, it only takes a month, Zhao Hao can return to his capital and have a slight surplus, and in a year, it is not a problem to earn two or three hundred thousand yuan, and he does not need the support of Jiangnan's parents at all, and he can live a good life. As for the rich fortune of the imperial court, it is almost negligible.
But Zhao Hao's purpose is obviously not here, opening a green building to make a lot of money means little to him, everything is just to lure the snake out of the hole...... It's kind of leading the dragon out of the hole.
He didn't know when Zhao Ji would come to the "heaven and earth", but he knew that unless Zhao Ji changed his sex, he would inevitably come to the "heaven and earth". And his rule that each person is limited to one domestic slave must not be suitable for Zhao Ji, who is the Supreme of the Ninth Five.
Dignified Emperor, even if he comes to the Great Health Care, he has to search in advance, and he has to bring a few masters and a few close servants with him, otherwise if the assassin wants to assassinate, wouldn't it be easy? Therefore, if Zhao Ji came to the "heaven and earth", he would definitely have a rumor first, so as not to catch himself off guard.
It's just that what makes him extremely frustrated is that "Heaven and Earth" has been open for half a month, and Zhao Ji not only did not visit his Qinglou, but even Yanglou Street rarely came, only occasionally military horses escorted the carriage and secretly connected the teacher and girl into the palace.
Zhao Hao waited for half a month, after all, he was annoyed, and he didn't want to check in again every day in the "heaven and earth", leaving Liang Hongyu alone to stick to it in case someone was in trouble.
As the children of Zhao Hao's clan, ordinary people dare not come to make trouble, after all, although the children of the clan cannot hold the real power in the court, they have many privileges. Ordinary yamen can't ask the clan to ask the guilty clan at all, even if it is the main secretary of the big sect, you have to ask the emperor to ask the guilty party, so the general deflated three, the evil and the young, etc., dare to provoke the children of the clan, it is simply looking for death, even if you are killed on the spot, you can only consider yourself unlucky.
However, at the feet of the Son of Heaven, there are not only powerful people in the clan, but also Zhao Hao is not the only clan. There are thousands of people like him who have seven suits with the bloodline of the official family.
Nowadays, the business is booming, and the people who are not familiar with the place are inevitably jealous and troublesome. Leaving Liang Hongyu, a heroine in the middle of the women, to guard, she felt a lot more at ease in her heart.
"Liang Hongyu, 88 in force, 84 in intelligence, 92 in command, 52 in politics, 75 favorability towards the host, 78 loyalty to the host."
A generation of women heroes, if it weren't for his daughter, would be a great general, but because of his crossing, he missed Han Shizhong, and now he is only reduced to guarding the Qinglou for him, but after all, it is much better than being a prostitute, Zhao Hao has never regarded her as a person.
In the early morning of the next day, Zhao Hao had just finished breakfast and was about to take Fang Baihua and others out for a stroll, and by the way to see if there was any movement on the "heaven and earth", the old housekeeper came in a hurry and handed him a post.
Zhao Hao took the post and read it in a hurry, with a hint of suspicion on his face.
Zhao Yue, the son of the clan, made an appointment for Fan Lou tonight.
Since Zhao Zhongshu left Bianliang that year, the branch they left behind in the south of the Yangtze River has rarely interacted with the clan, and only every year before the official family's birthday, they routinely transport a 100,000 birthday program to the official family to celebrate their birthday. If it weren't for the rich birth outline, the official family would have almost forgotten that there was such a clan, and as for the children of other clans, there would be almost no contact...... Anyway, Zhao Hao is the first time.
Since Zhao Hao entered Bianliang, after reporting under the Zhongshu Gate, he later went to Zongzheng Temple to register, and he has never been in contact with the sect again.
Even if it was in Zongzheng Temple that day, it was only a stick of incense that came out, and he didn't even finish a bowl of tea, and the old man in charge of registration didn't seem to be interested in him, after all, he was a disciple of the clan who had reached the seventh suit with the official family, and there were more than 1,000 people in Bianliang City, which was extremely ordinary.
Unexpectedly, all of a sudden, someone invited him to drink tea, or to Fanlou, one of the most prestigious buildings in Bianliang, which surprised Zhao Hao.
After some inquiry, Zhao Hao also found out the details of Zhao Yue.
Zhao Guangyi gave birth to Zhao Yuanyan, Zhao Yuanyan gave birth to Zhao Yunliang, and Zhao Yunliang gave birth to Zhao Zongjiang. Zhao Zongjiang gave birth to Zhao Zhongyi, Zhao Zhongyi gave birth to Zhao Xiaoliang, and Zhao Xiaoliang gave birth to Zhao Yue.
Going around and around, this Zhao Yue, like him Zhao Hao, is also a disciple of the clan who has reached the seventh suit with the official family, and now he has just passed the year of the weak crown, and he is now the chief official of the main sect.
The main division is the highest body that manages the affairs of the clan, and the rank of the chief priest of the large official is naturally different from that of ordinary officials, which is the rank of the seventh rank. The children of the clan in the same year as Zhao Yue, and the official family outside the three suits, most of them are the eight grades of the record of the military, soldiers, cavalry Cao and other sanitation officials, this Zhao Yue can also be regarded as the leader among the sons of the middle sect outside the three suits.
As for the sudden appointment with Zhao Hao tonight, whether it is sympathy or something else, it doesn't matter to Zhao Hao.
If you can make friends, you will make friends. If the other party has bad intentions...... For a man who wants to become the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, the other party is like an ant.
Among the 72 main stores in Tokyo, Fan Lou is the most famous, and many love stories recorded in Song Dynasty books take place in Fan Lou. Fan Lou is also known as Fengle Building, Alum Building, "three floors are high, the fifth floor is facing each other, each has a flying bridge railing, light and dark are connected, the bead curtain is embroidered, and the lamp and candle are shining." Because the alum tower is too high, so that when you climb to the top floor, you can "look down at the forbidden middle" and see inside the palace. This is probably something that has never been done before.
Fan Lou is also very large, Zhou Mi "Qi Dongye Yu" said that Fan Lou "is the first of the Jingshi wine shop, drinking more than 1,000 people", can receive more than 1,000 guests. A Song poem said: "I remember how happy my youth was, and I went to the Fan Tower in the middle of the night." "It can also be seen that this Fan Lou is open all night.
In front of the restaurant, it is tied into a tall and beautiful colored building with fir wood and various patterns. The red and green decoration on the window edge of the near faΓ§ade is called Huanmen. In addition, there is a decorative fence called a pistol and several gardenia lamps with gold and red gauze in front of the door.
Zhao Hao, under the escort of Fang Baihua and Zhao Ling, entered proudly.
Enter its door, the main corridor has been about 100 steps, the north and south patio two corridors are small pavilions (boxes), the lights on both sides are brilliant, and colorful, and up and down to take pictures, it looks extremely magnificent. There are hundreds of beautiful women with light makeup, gathered on the main corridor, waiting for the call of the drinkers, looking like a fairy, and the KTV of later generations, as long as you pay money, you can accompany you to flirt and have a good drink.
Like later generations, each pavilion (box) has a name, and Zhao Hao, under the leadership of people, came to a large pavilion called "Yuanfeng Yuan".
This kind of large pavilion is not much in Fanlou, and the area is about twice the size of ordinary small pavilions, but it is divided into two rooms, inside and outside, and the middle is separated by beaded curtain screens.
When Zhao Hao saw Zhao Yue, Zhao Yue was in front of the table in the outer pavilion, with two house slaves standing behind him, and two good-looking wine prostitutes sitting next to him, and a pair of hands were wandering around restlessly, which made Zhao Hao frown slightly.
This kind of person is not worth befriending, and he is not a character......
That Zhao Yue's face is handsome, but a little more frivolous and worldly.
The children of the clan, starting from the generation of Taizu, the concubines and concubines must be quite beautiful, after the genetic modification brought by generations of beautiful mothers, to the beginning of their fathers' generations, they are all extraordinary in appearance and handsome, so there are really few children of the Great Song Dynasty who are not handsome.
When Zhao Yue saw Zhao Hao coming, he was very enthusiastic, and after some greetings, he pushed a drinking prostitute next to him to Zhao Hao, but was gently pushed away by Zhao Hao, and Zhao Yue didn't care, so he simply hugged left and right.
After serving the wine and food, the two drank for three rounds, and chatted for a while, Zhao Hao finally couldn't help it, and asked, "I don't know if my brother invites you, but there is something important to talk about?" β
Zhao Yue paused for a moment. smiled: "Brother Xian is really anxious...... I heard that Brother Xian opened a green building on Yanglou Street, but is there such a thing? β
Zhao Hao's eyes flashed, he already knew a rough idea, and smiled indifferently: "This is indeed the case." β
Zhao Yue smiled, smiled very strangely, signaled the two drinking prostitutes to withdraw, moved his body over, and said in a low voice: "Brother Xian, do you know that within the Jingshi, all the four businesses of Qinglou brothels, gambling halls, and pawnshops are all taken care of by Zongzheng?" β
"Oh? Does the Soshoji belong to the Soshoji Temple or the Great Soshoji? Zhao Hao asked coldly.
In the Song Dynasty, there were two institutions that managed the clan: Zongzheng Temple managed genealogy, population statistics and other documents and statistics; The one who really manages the affairs of the clan is the main secretary of the great sect.
Zhao Yue said with a smile: "Zongzheng Temple and the Great Zongzheng Division are both in the open field, but the Zongzheng Society is in the secret and does not belong to each other. β
Zhao Hao frowned slightly: "Then such as the Red Building, Qingyue Building, etc., are they all taken care of by Zongzheng?" β
Zhao Yue said: "Qingyue Building, pay 30% of the profit every month, leaning on the Red Mansion...... In the past, it was also to be paid, and the rest of the Qinglou had to be handed over at least 30% of the benefits, so it ......"
Zhao Yue looked at Zhao Hao, smiled, and didn't continue.
Zhao Hao's expression did not move, and he still asked indifferently: "How many percent do I want to hand in?" β
Zhao Yue looked at Zhao Hao, gritted his teeth, and finally said in a deep voice: "Originally, three percent was enough, but because the virtuous brother lived in Jiangnan for a long time and contributed very little to the Zongzheng Society, the king of Jinkang County and the same knowledge of the great sect of business, I hope that the virtuous brother can hand over forty percent of the benefits." β
Zhao Hao smiled, smiled brightly, and said in a deep voice: "Forty percent, will it be too little?" β
