Chapter 172: The Book of Business
Chapter 173: Business Scripture
"How many days does Ye Tao have to go to Danyang?".
"Your Majesty, there are about three to four days left." Li Sishu on the side replied casually.
The environment they are in makes Li Sishu extra energetic and maintain his seriousness. Because, in the face of a lord who is taking a bath, even if it is him, it is difficult to maintain his seriousness all the time. The place where they are located is a completely Persian-style bath newly completed in this large bath that is unique in time and space.
Due to the fact that the foreign style is very unexpectedly loved by most customers, the newly built bath is no longer decorated with Middle Eastern and European styles, but completely uses almost the original Persian style. Designed by Persian craftsmen and supervised by them, the baths look very austere. The baths are divided into two parts, one is an ordinary pool, built of marble, with two giant lion statues on each side to decorate the pillars, which looks simple and imposing. The other part is a sauna. The sauna is circular, and the walls are decorated with reliefs of heroic epics. Leaning against the wall is a circle of chairs made of fragrant wood. In the middle is a stone rope made of red-hot pebbles as a steam generator, with a shelving of fragrant wood. On the side of the room, there is a semi-circular basin that always maintains a certain amount of water, and the water is left from the mouth of the lion's head above the basin and falls into the pool, and the pool is always half-full on the siphon principle, and the excess water is discharged.
When this bath was first opened, people from all walks of life in Danyang, who had long been attracted by the exotic style and various services of the big waves, came to see it, but this small bath seems to have deliberately combined the requirements for bathing and meditation, and the rough and solemn style can attract generals who have led troops.
In the beginning, people didn't know what a sauna was, and the people who came to this bath were just bubble baths. When finally someone couldn't help but be curious and tried a sauna. I was immediately hooked on this extremely refreshing experience. And then...... It has become a secret known throughout the country. And when Zhuo Mang also tried it once under the pry of his subordinates, he couldn't help but convey this feeling to Tan Xiaopei. …… Naturally, Zhuo Mang may be the only person who has the guts to talk to Tan Xiaopei about his bathing experience.
And when Tan Xiaopei tried it once in this extremely quiet bath, he couldn't help but come again and again. And when the weather gets colder and the business of big waves and sand becomes more and more violent, he knows that if it is sometimes a coincidence. He can even hold a court meeting in the big waves...... There are a few people missing.
Tan Xiaopei is naturally not the kind of nonsensical lord who looks for an opportunity to meet the minister naked, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have no intention of communicating with Tan Xiaopei about what kind of services they enjoy, but in this way, the business of the big waves and sands will become better and better. Tan Xiaopei naturally knows that as the lord of the country, he runs this kind of half-** all day long...... Well, most of the ** is weird, but until the new baths in the palace are built, he will only be able to do so.
After Ye Tao came back, he didn't have to go back to Yunzhou for the time being. If there's something over there, just ask them to send a book and ask for instructions. He and Xin'erdi have been married for a few months, even if they go back to Yunzhou, they will have to come back and toss it soon, which is too troublesome. Tan Xiaopei sighed.
"The old slave can save it, and the old slave will go back and order this matter." Li Sishu replied.
"Lao Li. Sometimes, I can't help but think about what kind of situation it would be like if I let go and let Ye Tao do whatever he wanted. Hey. You showed me the report of the housekeeping, actually...... That is, he killed someone according to Guan Huan's kid's will. But just those words, those small layouts, almost completely messed up the original arrangement of the Daoming Sect in the north of Xiling. It's so exciting. Tan Xiaopei praised: "He himself said it very easily, at the right time, in the right place, and doing the right thing." …… and the arrangements he originally made in the Road and Bridge Division of Jinglufu in Yunzhou, except for Xin'er, no one could explain why. Everyone waited until they saw the effect before they began to slowly understand the truth. Xin'er and I joked that the big river and the big waves pushed the front waves. The waves died on the beach, and now it seems that although I am not old, my mind really can't keep up with these young people. ”
Li Sishu saw that Tan Xiaopei was in a good mood, so he joked: "Your Majesty, doesn't Lord Ye think that he is not dedicated enough?" If Lord Ye knew, he would have to be humiliated. ”
Tan Xiaopei shook his head and said, "It's not that he is not dedicated, but he only dedicates himself to his own one-third of an acre." He does his job well. The rest depends on whether someone or something moves him. I haven't established the post of prime minister for too long. And Ye Taodi's qualifications are too shallow, otherwise. I really want to see what kind of things he will do if he comes to oversee the overall situation of Dongping. I have never been short of generals in Dongping, and I take a step back and say, I can still go to the battlefield and lead the troops, but I do lack a person who can control the overall situation. At the beginning, I said that if Xin'er is a man and has a good body, she must be a generation of male masters, and this is because of this. Ye Tao is already quite popular, he understands technology, has some experience in governing places, understands military affairs and attaches importance to logistics and supply, in terms of mobilizing people's hearts, his talent is too outstanding, and in terms of economy, although he has no experience in direct handling, but the general idea is still good, compared to many ministers in the DPRK and China. One of what he lacks is qualifications, and the other is the ability to prioritize and deal with the trade-offs and scheduling in a thousand things. …… If it is tempered, ten years later, the post of prime minister may be re-established for Ye Tao. ”
Such a topic, if it is other chamberlains, will inevitably find ways to divert the topic and avoid getting involved. But Li Sishu is different, in addition to the general manager of Ouchi, he is also an important person who assists in the management of the internal guards. Although he is not good at organizing intelligence activities, he sorts out a large amount of information that seems meaningful or meaningless, and then summarizes various conclusions from it to report to Tan Xiaopei. This is also why Tan Xiaopei mentioned his various thoughts in front of Li Sishu.
Li Sishu hesitated for a moment and reminded: "Your Majesty, this arrangement, even after ten years, will be equivalent to roasting Lord Ye on the fire." ”
Tan Xiaopei looked at Li Sishu strangely, frowned and asked, "What do you say?" ”
"Relatives, young, artisans and merchants, with no family roots...... And so on, isn't that enough? Li Sishu asked with a smile.
Tan Xiaopei nodded and said, "This is indeed a problem. ”
"Your Majesty might as well set your sights on those people around Lord Ye, maybe they are not people who can control the overall situation, but there is no shortage of people who can take charge of themselves. For example, the Du Feng Pond, which now manages this bathhouse, is becoming more and more interesting to do business. Now, he is the topic of conversation in Danyang. Li Sishu said with a smile.
"Oh? Topic person? Why haven't I heard of it? Tan Xiaopei asked curiously.
"Perhaps, this kind of thing makes people laugh when it comes up, but after all, it's a matter of sound and color...... The old slave was also occasionally seen in the recent reports of rumors in the market. Li Sishu replied.
Here's the thing, recently, in the two most high-end ** bath units in the big waves, the originally elegant but somewhat dull water diversion bamboo pipes were replaced with two cloud porcelain female statues, and hot water flowed into the bath continuously from the jugs held by the female statues. Maybe it's nothing, maybe it's just an addition to the two **units, which are often used for purposes other than bathing. Although the two female statues are not**, the kind of shape that is only covered with a light veil to cover ** and private parts is really no different from **.
For Guan Shi, the owner of the cloud porcelain industry, for the Ye Workshop and Jingdezhen, which has become the center of high-end porcelain manufacturing in Dongping, this is a very commemorative event. Because this is the largest single piece of cloud porcelain ever formed. In the new porcelain kiln jointly supervised by the Guan, the porcelain craftsmen who originally belonged to the Inner Palace, and the Yip's workshop, a single piece of clay sent from Baishi Castle was fired to produce a single piece of larger, more uniform texture, and more delicate touch, which is a remarkable technical achievement.
But for the vast majority of gossip lovers in Danyang, more attention is paid to the origin and forming method of these two great works: real people inverted molds. The two statues are the two most popular green buildings in Danyang, Yihong Courtyard and Nongcui Pavilion's top brands Li Xudan and Xu Tongtong's live-action original modeling, and the work is the only one. The details of exactly how the live-action inverted mold is carried out have been amplified countless times in the rumors, but in general, the whole process is not so erotic. Although the physical contact and the intentional teasing of the two top names inevitably made those young apprentices who were in charge of a lot of physical work in the whole process, the young apprentices blushed and caused a lot of jokes, and also feasted the eyes of the senior craftsmen who were guiding the work, including Ye Tao's second senior brother Suo Yong, but on the whole, it was relatively smooth and rational.
Du Fengchi never denied that this was his idea, and then he came forward to solve the problem of candidates, and Jingdezhen solved the technical problem. However, as for how Du Fengchi negotiated with the two Qinglou, which were already extremely prosperous, this idea that sounded very fantastical, and persuaded the owners of the Qinglou and the top brands to agree, it was a "trade secret". But after the two statues were installed, the reaction was striking. The bathhouse business is certainly the icing on the cake, and so are the two green buildings and the two top brands. The two special units are booked according to the day, and now not only is the reservation a problem, but the reservation cards at the top can be regarded as very "interesting" favors. And take the real person to the bath and compare the actual feel with the statue...... And so on, it is something that many boring and rich guys are imagining, planning, organizing, and promoting......
In Danyang, no one has ever had such an evil and wonderful business experience.
