After the two of them entered the official's flower tea shop, they were suddenly very happy!

It turned out to be an upscale tea house...... The inside is very elegantly arranged, there are still flower stands in the hall, and some strange pine cypress and other things are placed on it, and the vase is used to insert the four flowers, hang some calligraphy and paintings, this store is quite well decorated!

It's completely the taste of the Great Song......

It's been less than two years since they've been here, and it's hard to imagine how much has changed...... This is the Lion City of Fine Orchid, which is thousands of miles away from the Great Song Dynasty!

At that time, a neatly dressed tea shop only Ying (waiter) took the initiative to step forward and warmly greeted the two distinguished guests.

The second captain and Wang Zhengmei listened to the introduction of the tea shop, and it turned out that this was really a "flower tea" workshop, which was really a distinctive tea shop------

Thousands of miles away, when the flower tea shop in Lin'an City is engaged in special management, it generally uses courtesans to directly attract guests, and those courtesans are all beautiful to welcome the door, compete for beauty and laugh, sing and twilight, and shake the hearts of guests. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Of course, the two of them knew that the consumption of such a place was not low, and they must not have been able to afford to go back then.

When you first come to the door there, there are people who come forward with a bottle of tea, although they only offer a cup of tea, but also thousands of dollars, which is called flower tea.

After entering the pavilion, you have just drunk a glass of wine, and you must first communicate with several times, which is called a branch of wine.

Then they called for the sale, and set up a banquet at will, and then those helpers and people who only responded also came, and it cost a lot.

Or if you want to recruit more prostitutes, even if it is only across the street, you will come to the sedan chair on the street, and the fee is expensive.

Let's put it this way, the courtesan is not considered other services, but the cost of accompanying the tea is not dozens of times!

Of course, no one there will ask "why is just a cup of tea so expensive...... It's a taste or a life.

The two of them, who were domestic boys back then, must have enjoyed it.

But that's not the case now...... In the past few years of going to sea, they no longer have the concept of money...... It was all printed by their master's house!

The teahouse only responded to a lot of words, and he enthusiastically introduced that the kaki here are of the same quality as those in Goryeo and Japan, no less than the ordinary counterparts of the Great Song Dynasty......

Wang Zheng frowned at that time, no wonder he didn't see the kaki first when he came in!

What can a Japanese kabuki look like?

The second captain smiled, it was rare to have such a place in the Lion City...... But how did they get the Japanese Kabuki, and why did they call the official flower tea shop? ?

The teahouse only responded to the inquiries of the two young guest officers immediately, and answered them one by one.

It turns out that this place is really opened by someone surnamed Guan...... It is said that there is the origin of the official eight or seven sisters-in-law!

Speaking of the official eight and seven sisters-in-law, even the second captain and Wang Zheng were taken aback!

The official eight and seven sisters-in-law were the "old and profitable" female underworld leaders more than 100 years ago, and her prestige continues to this day!

This girl's family name is Liu, and she is married to the local bully official Baqi in the Shunchang area, and is known as the official Baqi's sister-in-law.

Her husband died young, and she was a widow who made a fortune by her viciousness.

Her eldest son Guan Rixin and second son Guan Shisu were both backbone elements of the underworld, and even her grandson Guan Qiansan, who was only thirteen years old at that time, also ran rampant in the township as a group of small overlords who were afraid of evil.

In addition, Guan Shisu's wife-brother Yang Shiyi and the main accomplice Fan Twenty-three and accomplices Fu Daer, Fu Dasi, Fu Liusan, Cai Liuyi, Yu Xiaoda, Li Sheng, Ye Ba, Chen Xiaoliu, Fu Seventy, Yang Er and other local ruffians are eagle dog minions.

At that time, it was the boundary of three counties, and the power of a township was corrupted for more than 20 years.

As mentioned above, the Great Song Dynasty government implemented a salt monopoly system, and the official sister-in-law colluded with the illegal salt trafficking gang all the year round, and there was a salt depot at home.

The salt barons on Fujian Road and Jiangnan West Road mostly use her salt depot as a transit and a key point for wholesale sales of stolen goods.

Residents in the vicinity of her home were forced to buy her family's private salt.

The six or seven county commanders in Shunchang County all left their posts because they could not collect enough salt tax.

It also privately set up tax yards to intercept business travel.

At that time, Shunchang was an important place for the transfer and distribution of paper, pig iron, lime and other materials, and the official gang set up many checkpoints here, and there were regulations for collecting money, and tens of thousands of stolen goods.

Many traders from other cities were severely beaten and even robbed of their goods because they refused to pay this unexplained "commercial tax."

Of course, the ultimate fate of the official gang is to be destroyed in one fell swoop...... The official eight and seven sisters-in-law were held in Shinshu, and the children and grandchildren were stabbed separately, and all the minions were either apprentices or rods.

However, the remnants of this line of the official's sister-in-law have not been completely destroyed, and the prestige still exists!

In particular, the salt trafficking gang led by Fan Heilong, the descendants of Fan Twenty-three, the main accomplices, and the Fan Heihu brothers are even more famous.

The two of them have been fond of fighting since they were children, and later gradually entangled dozens of people to trade with the inland provinces with illicit salt, each carrying swords and other weapons!

At its peak, the number of members of this gang reached more than 1,000 people, which attracted the attention of the Great Song Dynasty government.

Later, the imperial court sent the forbidden army to encircle and suppress, and finally arrested the leader of the gang.

After the Black Dragon and Black Tiger brothers were corrected, the "middle-level leaders" elected Fan Ru, the cousin of the Black Tiger, as the leader.

This Fan Ru not only did not die down, but even formed an operational system of production, trafficking, distribution, supply, and security.

They also have prepared small boats at the mouth of the river, which are responsible for river transportation and terminal sales, and then hand over the money they get and distribute it to the gang.

The salt trafficking gang led by this person even established its own production and living bases on the coastal islands, and engaged in armed confrontation with the Great Song Dynasty government for many years...... The folk legends about them have become mythical.

Why are even underworld elements eyeing this trade route now??

After listening to this, the second captain and Wang Zheng calmed down, if they still had some scruples about underworld elements in the past, but now, in front of them, those people can be regarded as ordinary laborers.

The second captain touched the short fire gun on his waist and said, "Do you still make a living by selling smuggled salt?" ”

In fact, the two of them also knew that the salt industry on Liuqiu Island allowed people in the Great Song Dynasty to buy large quantities of sea salt, both openly and secretly, and they didn't care what they did with it...... Of course, they were allowed to be trafficked.

The teahouse only immediately bowed down and said, "Two little brothers, I won't be engaged in this business for a long time...... There is no salt ban in the Great Song Dynasty, there are many people involved in the traffickers, and there is no oil and water......"

Wang Zheng was amused for a moment, this is what our island owner is secretly promoting.

He then asked, "What do you do for a living now?" Aren't you going to rob your house?? ”

"How? That was done by the Tatar robbers...... I've been working in the Flower Tea Workshop and Qinglou for a long time! ”

"Oh! Isn't it forcing good people to become prostitutes?? ”

"The difference between the two little brothers...... It's all Korean and Japanese women, and they're all happy to be trained by us!

Please ...... in the pavilion behind the two little brothers. See it as you go! ”

Well, of course the two of them are going to the pavilion, and now they are also people with status...... There are not many guests in the whole hall, and there are still white people drinking tea!

The back pavilions are all made of green bamboo, and when the breeze blows, it is cool everywhere.

The whole backyard was filled with the fragrance of bamboo, and I don't know which pavilion still heard the sound of silk and bamboo.

The two followed the teahouse into a large room with "Listening to the Bamboo Pavilion", and saw that it was soft and the coffee table was complete, as well as two antique incense burners.

After the two of them sat down, they ordered the top tea house here. (To be continued.) )
