Chapter Seventy-Four: Wancheng is Developing
Yang Aruo touched his chest, where a mandarin duck purse was stored, containing a strand of black hair, and every time he drank with someone, he would unconsciously touch it. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At this moment, at the invitation of Zhuge Liang, he came to a small courtyard in Wancheng, and he was a little surprised in his heart, Zhuge Liang said that he was passing through Wancheng, why did he have such a luxurious residence here? But when I think of the other party's ability, I am relieved.
Zhuge Liang has always been gentle and elegant, except when competing with others. He had a wicked smile on his face at the moment, watching Yang Aruo pour this high level of wine as ordinary wine, he had a kind of bad taste pleasure, as expected, Yang Aruo was about to fall down soon, and he won this time because he drank ordinary rice wine.
"How do you know that I came to find that Yuan Yun, I haven't been able to figure this out, and now that the wine is drunk, you can tell me directly." Yang Aruo was a little unexpected, a few bowls of high wine in his stomach, and he could still ask questions.
Zhuge Liang suddenly became a little unhappy, it seemed that he had miscalculated the amount of alcohol of the other party, sighed secretly, and replied: "The one who can be unlucky by you Yang Aruo is naturally not an ordinary person, inside and outside Guanwan City, there are still two Yuan Yun, you are not looking for him, who else can you find?" In addition, I heard that when Zhang Xiu was alive, he interacted with the heroes of the rivers and lakes a lot, and now he is rumored to have died in the hands of Yuan Yun. ”
Yang Aruo frowned, the Zhuge Kongming in front of him, who was a few years younger than himself, was really smart, and he thought very highly of himself, everyone was twenty years old, he was good, he gave himself Kong Ming's words at the age of seventeen, and he was also an outlier, every time he got along with him, he felt that his brain power was not enough, fortunately, this young man was his friend, otherwise he would not be able to sleep, and he would definitely be stripped of his skin if he calculated it once.
"Brother Kong Ming, how did he know that Yuan Yun was a good person? I've inquired in the neighborhood, and the people around here call him a big worm, how can he be a good person? After Yang Aruo finished speaking, he glanced at Zhuge Liang with a lot of amusement, to see how the other party could explain this problem?
"Fools." Zhuge Liang replied very simply, without the slightest hesitation.
Yang Aruo almost choked on the wine, and choked on a sip before he said unhappily: "Brother Kong Ming is unkind to say this, the people are the most simple, how can they be said to be stupid!" ”
Zhuge Liang smiled and filled the other party's wine glass, and then explained: "It's really stupid, being fooled by Yuan Yun in the palm of his hand, and he doesn't know it, isn't it a fool?" ”
Yang Aruo's face was a little more ugly, and he poured it again, then slapped the table and said, "Yuan Yun fooled the people, isn't he a bad person?" Such filthy officials should be slain with one sword, and it is a curse to keep them. ”
Zhuge Liang smiled, but he didn't rush to answer, but filled Yang Aruo's wine glass, then shook the feather fan lightly, and continued with a smile: "Yuan Yun is a good person or a bad person, or a dirty official in your mouth, Brother Yang might as well stay and observe for a while, if you still don't change your mind, Liang will definitely no longer stop you." ”
Yang Aruo waved his hand and refused: "Now I still have someone to take care of in the Hanzhong realm, it is inconvenient to stay for a long time, I have to start tonight, Brother Kong Ming don't stop me." ”
Zhuge Liang no longer insisted on it, nodded and said: "Since this is the case, Liang will send Brother Yang to win and win." ”
Yang Aruo was very bold, the cup was a big mouthful, and in an instant, he only felt that his brain was suddenly a little muna, and then he glanced at the wine glass in his hand, and then woke up suddenly, this wine is very strong, it is definitely a first-class good wine, he drank so fiercely, where can he stand it? I wanted to regret it but it was too late, the surging wine rushed into my brain, and I wanted to hold on, but it was still dark in front of me, and I lay on the table.
Zhuge Liang was very satisfied with this result, these spirits brewed by Yuan Yun were indeed violent, he smiled and patted Yang Aruo, who was drunk and fell on the table, and then said to himself proudly: "This time the wine fight is still won by Liang, and a good man like Brother Yang just gave me money for wine." ”
After speaking, he knocked on the wine jug, Zhuge Jun immediately walked in, and when he saw the drunk Yang Aruo, he shook his head and sighed, this person is really, he was led by his second brother every time, and he still doesn't know the long lesson? It was not worth it for Yang Aruo, so he hugged his fists and asked Zhuge Liang, "What does the second brother have to explain?" ”
"Take my name sticker to visit Yuan Yun, and hand over this Yang Aruo to him, just say that we captured the assassin, Yuan Yun naturally knows how to deal with it." After Zhuge Liang finished speaking, he shook the feather fan and walked to the window with a smile, it was gloomy outside the house, and it seemed that it would be snowing heavily in the next few days.
……
Wancheng in the early morning with a thin layer of white mist, making the whole city look dreamlike, like a fairyland, and at this time the streets are already full of vitality, Cao Ang after the Wancheng, he cherishes it very much, in addition to Guo Jia constantly transporting grain and grass, he will also support some living materials.
At first, Cao Ang wanted to ship it for free, but at the suggestion of Yuan Yun, it was changed to trade between each other, and now there is almost nothing left in Wancheng that can be exchanged, but the human resources are very abundant, so some processing workshops in exchange for labor and materials were opened in Wancheng.
The labor of these workshops needs to report to the workshop very early, and then start a day's work, the processing of various handicrafts, the production of various agricultural tools, and even some expensive gold and silver production, so that the trade between Xudu and Wancheng has gradually expanded, and there are many workshop owners in Xudu, who will process some of their products into Wancheng, after all, the labor cost of Wancheng is very low, basically as long as you provide food and some living needs, you can recruit a large number of hired workers, and finally add freight, The cost is still cheaper than processing in Xudu.
When the two cities come and go more and more with each other, Yunji has opened the transportation service between Xudu and Wancheng, Yuan Yunguan is called the transportation department, in addition to ensuring the transportation and safety of goods, the transportation department also provides the recommendation and organization of labor, as for the source of labor, it has been taken over by the shopkeeper who has been doing the tooth shop all the year round.
Three months after the opening of the cargo transportation business, Yun Ji provided a new service, that is, the long-distance frame service, which was specially developed by Ma Jun and made a six-wheeled large frame as a vehicle, pulled by six oxen, and a car could seat more than 30 people, so that it was not difficult to go to Wancheng from Xudu, and some rich and noble people would even take their families to Wancheng for sightseeing.
For this closed era, it has always been the privilege of those literati to go out to see the world, and now if you have money, you can be vassalized and elegant once, so it soon became a popular trend among the rich in Xudu.
Private gatherings between noble ladies, if the ladies of any family do not know some of the landscapes and scenery of Wancheng, they will immediately become a laughing stock, and then these humiliated ladies will come home, they will torture their men to death, and the hard-pressed men can only pay to avoid disasters and send their families to Wancheng for sightseeing, as for the so-called landscapes in Wancheng, they are not much better than Xu Du, but these tourists who have spent money to sightsee are stubborn in their belief that Wancheng is beautiful and beautiful, and Xu Du is simply a bad mountain and rotten water, which is completely incomparable. After I went back, it was another tout.
And Wancheng has the arrival of these rich people, which has stimulated the local economy, so all kinds of shops and workshops have been opened one after another, and Yuan Yun's planned hotel business has also taken shape in Wancheng, even earlier than Xu Du's, because some large families who were killed by Zhang Xiu before, but left a lot of industries, so the land price and mansions in Wancheng are very cheap, and Yuan Yun acquired many courtyards in one breath to expand his hotel business.
Those rich and noble people of Xudu arrived in Wancheng, and found that they were not living in an official hotel, but a more elaborate and gorgeous hotel, for which it feels particularly fresh, plus this hotel provides a lot of services, as long as you get the bag to stay, you can come to the clothes to reach out for the meal to open the mouth, in and out of the service staff to serve around, the most surprising is the hotel's food, never thought that there is such a rich food in this world, those pasta changes a variety of tricks in front of you, each is not repeated, this enjoyment even at home is not.
The hotel also organizes some gatherings from time to time, gathers the guests in various courtyards according to their status, and then holds a barbecue meeting, the skilled chef sets up countless braziers, roasting all kinds of food, the supply of spirits makes it even in winter, it is still not afraid of the wind and cold, because the identity and status of the participating crowds are similar, there are naturally various topics to talk about, which has also become a kind of social gathering between them and making friends with each other, so it is very popular, so such a social occasion, In an instant, it became another popular trend, and it is estimated that when these people return to Xudu, they will have to blow it again.
And this kind of gathering Yuan Yun arranged very cleverly, next to some of the gathering places with noble status, there are always some people with a slightly lower status who are also partying, when they heard that there are people in the courtyard next door, they began to mutter, if they can get in touch with these people, maybe they can climb up higher, so with this expectation, they are more willing to come to Wancheng to party, anyway, a few days away, sitting in that comfortable car while playing and watching, plus food, housing and transportation although it costs some money, But it is definitely an acceptable range, so if you don't go to Wancheng every year, you feel that something is missing in your life.
Once the atmosphere is formed, then more and more people will participate, Yun Ji continues to expand the audience area, from the three officials of the imperial court, to the peddlers and pawns in the market, are willing to take their families to Wancheng to enjoy some leisure time in the year, which is called a vacation.
For the development of all this, Cao Ang is of course happy to see it come to fruition, and naturally opens the door to convenience, Guo Jia and others are always worried that Yuan Yun will make these things, whether they will be exploiting loopholes again, but seeing that Wancheng is gradually beginning to support itself, he can no longer oppose anything, so he can only send more people to supervise, and every time Yuan Yun sends a concert, they are even more careful and careful, and they will not be practical if they don't study it more than a dozen times, for fear that Yuan Yun will be swept away by hundreds of thousands of yuan like a gambling ball.
This immortal disciple is already very wealthy, and he has only been here for less than a year, so he has made the entire Xu Capital Yuan family the richest family, and his Yuan family is even richer, and the dividends of the salt farm alone have made them build seven or eight more warehouses for storing five baht coins in the back house, and the scale is about to catch up with the Cao Mansion, and this cloud record is slowly expanding, and the treasury may not be able to compare with it in the future.
At the same time, in order to show the kindness of the Yuan family, the imperial court also gave a special reward, the "Female Ring" written by Ban Zhao himself to Yuan Yun's eldest sister Feng Xuan.
After Yuan Yun learned about this matter, he only expressed one sentence: "Three from four virtues? Unlucky. ”
