Chapter 172: What conditions did Tang Cheng offer, Lao Tzu also gritted his teeth and admitted it.

There is no doubt that it is the level and grade of customers that determine the status of merchants in the industry, whether it is restaurants, inns, or places like Yueming Mansion and Daya Zhizheng Garden, it is not the boasting of the merchants themselves that determine its influence, but what kind of guests come here.

On the day of the opening of Daya Zhizheng Garden, it can be said that the top wealthy businessmen in Shannan East Road were wiped out, and Tang Cheng did this by virtue of his identity and position, which can be said to be unprecedented in all the merchants in Shannan East Road.

And when these top riches of the Dao are amazed by the luxurious furnishings of the Daya Zhizheng Garden, especially the garden like a stroke of genius, the impact on those merchants who were unable to attend the meeting is huge. Invisibly, Daya Zhizheng Garden has gone beyond the meaning of mere recreation, and in their view, being able to go to this place is a status symbol in itself. And you haven't even been to a place that so many big businessmen have praised endlessly? Hey, shame on you, it's really hard to say that you are rich!

At the same time, purely from the perspective of communication, the information can not only be disseminated more widely from the top down, but also the authenticity of the information is easier to believe. No matter how you look at it, the people in the market always like to pay attention to and relish the actions of the rich, who may not believe anything else, but when these people praise the beauty of a place in unison, no one will doubt it.

If businessmen are limited to their identities, word-of-mouth still has limitations. Then the observation of the first person in this way made the adults come to the opening banquet of Daya Zhizheng Garden, and this news itself is the best and most powerful advertising for Daya Zhizheng Garden.

The intensity of this advertising campaign is even far beyond the expectations of the initiator Tang Cheng, in such a typical official-based society where people are divided into three places, such as "official, good, and low", the observation envoy has far more influence than officialdom because of his status, and for businessmen. For Shilin, it can be described as an all-round shock for the people in the market. After all, due to the specific identity restrictions of the merchants, in their previous memories, people really can't think of the first person in this province to personally support the opening of the business.

Just overnight, the newly opened Daya Zhizheng Garden has become the focus of discussion in the entire Daocheng with a gorgeous image, and the most discussed by the people in the market is the strange name of Daya Zhizheng Garden, who is its owner? What kind of hard-tied relationship can invite so many rich people and observers when it opens? Gee. Even those rich people say that in a good place, how much does it cost to eat a glass of wine and serve a dish?

The merchants were fond of the meeting with the Observation Ambassadors in public, the elegant furnishings of the main garden, the elegant and stunning gardens, the graceful ladies, the skilful musicians, and, of course, the last. They will always unintentionally "reveal" the crystal jade plate, and unintentionally talk about what kind of privilege such a jade card has, the most unintentional thing to say is that this jade card is only engraved in the entire Shannan East Road has one hundred and fifty faces, when speaking of this, their tone is invariably light and casual.

Of course, Shilin was also discussing. In addition to discussing the background of the owner of Daya Zhizhengyuan, and talking about the miraculous musicians and maids who were rumored, they were most concerned about the song "Shu Dao Difficult" that was observed and praised by adults, and the proportion of admissions to the imperial examination was too small in these years. It's not easy to get ahead as a reader. As a result, the practice of scrolls and admonitions became the skills and life experiences that scholars had to learn. Aren't they those poetry leaders and high-ranking people! How do you do it? It's not just poetry.

And "Shu Dao Difficulty", which sang a song in Daya Zhizheng Garden, gathered all these two experiences. Oh, I heard that the person who wrote this poem is a scholar who has just arrived at Taoism, mother, can make an observation to make adults so appreciative, this Tang Cheng is really lucky. When discussing this news, many scholars were hot-eyed. It's envy and sadness, it's unreasonable, why can't I get such an opportunity if I'm so talented?

While envious and sour discussions, these people who also relied on pen and ink to make a fortune naturally became interested in the legendary "Shu Dao Difficulty", and they just couldn't wait to see what this poem was written about, and it was so highly praised by the observation of the imperial examination.

Because it is a singing poem, this poem is long, although the businessmen praise it. But it's a bit difficult to memorize all the long poems just by listening to them twice. In desperation, some are both curious. And because there was no first article and the scholars who were not angry in their hearts, they hit the idea to Daya Zhizhengyuan. , Sure enough, it is a place that even the wealthy businessmen praise, and the guys in this elegant Zhizheng Garden have a greater appetite than their counterparts in other places. I couldn't see it at all when I was idle thirty or fifty dollars, and it wasn't until I spent two times of reward that I finally got the whole poem out.

"It's dangerous! The difficulty of Shu Road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky ......", after getting this poem, the scholars are accustomed to "sexually" according to the rhythm of reciting poems on weekdays to "chant" and recite, after all, the poem is a rhyme, about the object of the battle, only by reading it can we better appreciate it.

However, soon these scholars found that it was not a thing, when they used the slow and logical way of the past, a chant and three sighs to recite this poem, reading and reading the breath is not smooth, this *** song line is always people can't help but read faster and faster, the louder the louder the reading, when the scholars finally adjusted the way of reading the poem to the end, they felt that the breath held in front of them finally spit out heartily, this feeling, this time, what a cool word!

One to ten, ten to hundred, when he first came to Daocheng to participate in the He Yuan Literary Conference, Tang Cheng looked forward to others reading poems and no one read them, but now he is looking for them in Shilin, grabbing them, and even spending money to buy them to read. It is in this strange situation that this song "Shu Dao Difficulty" quickly spread all over the literary circle of Daocheng, and quickly spread to the following states with its location advantage.

Although each of the scholars in the ranks consciously can find one or two "faults" in this poem, for example, the word "Fang" may be better refined as "phase", etc., but when it comes to the whole poem, it is really impossible for them to say that it is not good! You can still say that it is a worthless stone without carving a piece of jade, but in the face of the crystal jade that has already shone brightly. To insist that it is a stone is really indescribable.

Anyway, everyone is a scholar, and a scholar can still do this shameless thing of pointing a deer as a horse?

In a chic study room in Daya Zhizheng Garden, Tang Cheng looked at the stack of flying tickets that Laifu put on the desk, and casually went over to pull and pull, and saw that it was all consistent, two-run ground amounts, and the total number of about seventy or eighty was about seventy or eighty, after the pickling was finished. Tang Cheng said with a smile: "Since it's for you, you can keep it!" I didn't expect so many people to buy it."

Laifu knew Tang Cheng's temperament, so he didn't say anything more, and after thanking him, he put the stack of flying tickets into his sleeve, "There was someone else who asked just now." I am a long-term follower by the side of the big officials, and everyone knows that if you want to buy poetry, you have to come to me", said here. Laifu smiled and said: "But this is also a disadvantage, not to mention those who come to buy poetry, that is, the people in the garden think that I Laifu is a good person to buy when he sees money, but it has only been a few days, and I have heard such small words several times."

Hear the words. Tang Cheng laughed, "Okay, you don't have to deliver any more words, since I asked you to do this matter." Don't worry about that."

As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Meng Haoran, dressed in Confucian clothes, walked in from outside the door, "Brother Tang, you look for me."

Seeing this, Laifu went to prepare tea, Tang Cheng stood up and greeted him, "Haoran, I've been tired of you these days." How? You're used to living here, right? ”。

In addition to the pavilions and pavilions in this elegant garden, there are also study and guest houses built like those famous gardens in Suzhou in later generations, and on the second day of opening, Tang Chengsuo moved in from the inn, and Meng Haoran was the neighbor who was with him.

"Others have to pay at least fifteen yuan for a night, so they have to wait in line. Is this place still bad? Meng Haoran finished speaking. The two of them looked at each other and smiled. In the past few days, the business in Daya Zhizheng Garden has been booming. Had to let guests in in limited quantities, and on this midsummer night. The most favored by the guests is not the front building, but the back of the landscape painting-like garden, so that the guest houses designed in the garden are not enough, and the guests who have paid a fixed amount to stay in this garden for one night are lined up until nearly a month later.

"Okay, it's good that you live properly", after Tang Cheng invited him to sit down, he asked again: "How is it in the yamen?" Are you still used to staying? ”。

"Brother Tang, you have made a charter, we will do it according to the charter, and all the colleagues in it are also good", although the two are now subordinate to the superiors and subordinates, but since Meng Haoran was stopped by Tang Cheng for the first time called "adult", the two are still called as before in private, "I just didn't expect that young brother Zhang Xiangwen looks active on weekdays, but he is really good at handling official affairs."

Hearing this, Tang Cheng smiled, and gave Meng Haoran a cup of tea from the blessing, "My second brother doesn't usually look like he is in shape, but he can distinguish the priorities the most, and he can rest assured that he will leave everything to him." Well, I'm relieved that you can adapt to it in the yamen, I'm preparing to feast in the garden for the Taoist scholars, the superintendent and those Jinshi and Mingjing students, and after a few days, after this line is bridged, I will find a way to get you a place in Taoism, and then you and I can go to Beijing together to catch the exam."

Hearing this, Meng Haoran's whole body was shocked, but his face was clearly full of emotion, but he didn't say a word in his mouth. There is a cloud in the Analects: A gentleman should be quick to do and not to speak, especially in such a matter, the best way to treat gratitude is to repay it through action, but he can't say anything on his lips. Meng Haoran is obviously such a gentleman. After groaning for a long time, he calmed down before he said slowly: "Banquet Xuezheng and Superintendent? These people are the most discreet ......."

"Don't worry, I have this matter", turning his head to look at Meng Haoran, Tang Cheng smiled and said: "Young brother Xu doesn't know yet, we have another neighbor in this garden."

"Who?".

"Yu Envoy Jun", Tang Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea gently, "It seems that our Envoy Jun really likes this garden very much, although Lord Yu may not be able to come twice in a summer, but that guest house is left in his name after all."

Hearing this, Meng Haoran was silent for a while, and then sighed loudly: "Speaking of the same year, you and I were quite conceited and talented before, but I ...... since I met Brother Tang", said here. Meng Haoran shook his head gently, "People say that kung fu is outside the poems, the geography of mountains and rivers, and the world are all knowledge, compared with Brother Tang, the previous conceit is really ridiculous."

"You and I know each other, what are you talking about?" saw Meng Haoran's face with a sad look. Tang Cheng, who was ashamed in his heart, hurriedly changed his head, "By the way, this time I invite Haoran to come over just for poetry."

"Oh?".

"We have to sing at least two new poems every night in this garden, and the quality of this poem is even better, so why am I really scratching my head?"

"Since the beginning of "Shu Dao Difficulty", I have listened to all the songs and poems in the garden these nights, and Brother Tang has been thinking about it. The new poems sung in the past few days are all of the highest quality, Shilin I don't know, observe that those colleagues in the yamen are full of praise when they talk about these poems", speaking of this, Meng Haoran put down the tea cup in his hand with great interest. "Especially the song 'Green Ant New Brew Wine, Red Clay Small Stove, Late Weather Snow, Can You Drink a Cup?' It is even more widely mentioned. This is still a little wrong with the festival, and when this winter comes, I expect that this five words will become the most popular wine poem in Daocheng."

"That's it, that's it, Haoran don't want to say it again", Tang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, "A huge garden has to ask for poetry every day, for the reputation of this garden." It has to be a good poem, I really can't support it alone, no, even the old works have been moved out. ”

Tang Cheng's smile was bitter, and his heart was even more bitter. In order to realize his vision of the time and place when he first built the Daya to the Zhengyuan, good poetry can be said to be the most indispensable and important thing. This is especially true in the early days of this opening. It's easier said than done, but it's not easy to find so many good poems. He remembered a lot though. But many of them cannot be used right now. Aside from these, the classic works of those famous poets cannot be borrowed by one person. If you finish all the masterpieces of Li Bai and Du Fu now, this will ...... That's too much.

Thinking about ease, in fact, people who don't cross will never know the inner struggle of the time-traveler when he plagiarizes a masterpiece, especially in the face of an idol like Li Bai, who can be ruthless enough to destroy the radiant idol with his own hands? The two are together, the left one weighs, the right one thinks, hey, it's difficult!

"Haoran, no matter what, you have to go to the top from tomorrow night, you haven't written poetry recently? Isn't there any old work from before, ah, that's it, you can put more thought into tidying up later, through our garden, after your poetry is spread, it will also be convenient to move the Taoist quota", Tang Cheng waved his hand and signaled Meng Haoran to refuse, "In addition, you and I are not enough, Haoran, you think about who among those friends you have made before who writes poems well, and they are also recruited, but it must be good poems, needless to say for them, in addition, All poems adopted by the garden will be given with a pen."

"Okay, I'll write later. But according to the amount of medicine in the garden, two poems a day have to be good poems, and even if I can get in touch with some, it's not enough."

"Hold on, no matter what, it will have to last for two months", after gritting his teeth, Tang Cheng laughed ruthlessly: "At most two months, our garden's reputation in songs and poems can be officially established." Haoran, at that time, there will be a lot of people who want to come out and have to cry and shout to send poems. But during these two months, all the new poems that we sing in our garden must be of the best work."

When Tang Cheng was busy with Daya to the main garden, the Yueming Building next door was also very lively.

There are still so many people, and the one who is talking is also Su Sanhuan, who is the most anxious about "sex", and he stared at Yue Chaoqun with a reluctant expression: "Brother Yue, it's been a few days, and the Daya Zhizheng Garden next door is like a rake holding money, let's just watch it like this?" ”。

Su Sanhuan opened his mouth, and the other three also followed.

"Yes, Brother Yue, now those rich masters in this city are crazy, and those who open and close their mouths are all Daya Zhizhengyuan, and it will not be possible to go on like this."

"When it came to the Qinglou in Daocheng before, who didn't mention the Yueming Tower first? Now listen to it again, 'Yueming Mansion is far worse than Daya Zhizheng Garden', Brother Yue, can you bear it in this way? ”。

"This is not just about Yueminglou, this is a slap in the face of our entire Liulinfang, Brother Yue, you can bear it, we ......", when the boss was making a generous statement, the door opened, and a man dressed as a servant walked in.

So far. Yue Chaoqun, who had been slightly closed, sat up straight, ignoring the impassioned boss, but looked at the servant and said, "How is it?" ”。

"Leper Seven's leg was also broken, it was the third watch of the world last night, Xiao Di just went to see it", said this, the servant's voice trembled, "To Leper Seven." The twenty-three people who went with Scarhu that day did not miss a single one, and all of them had broken hands and feet."

Who is Scar Hu Su Sanhuan They naturally know what he is doing, and they know even better, they only heard that he was arrested before, and this is the first time they have heard of the news that they are all broken hands and feet, and all twenty-three people have broken their hands and feet, and none of them were spared! Time. The whole room was silent, and I heard the dry voice of the next person: "In addition, Wan Inspector asked me to give a message to the master."

After Yue Chaoqun's gaze swept over Su Sanhuan and the others, who were suddenly stunned, he returned to the servant and said.

"Wan Inspector said that he was also 'forced' as a last resort. Please forgive my father-in-law for his difficulties", after glancing at his master, the servant said in a dry voice: "Wan Inspector also said that I would like to ask my grandfather to be more patient these days, even if there is anything, it is equivalent to observing the transfer and then talking about it." Otherwise, it's okay for him to be embarrassed, but I'm afraid that Lord Linghu will have to follow suit, and if things really come to this point, everyone will have to be embarrassed."

Lord Linghu is the biggest reliance of Yueming Building, and he is also the biggest official in the backing of the Qinglou in Liulinfang, when he heard this, Su Sanhuan and the others still didn't understand what it meant? After being stunned for a moment, their faces suddenly turned white. "Yue ...... Brother Yue, what can Scarbeard do in it? ”。

"What moves? Then Tang Cheng didn't ask anything at all", hearing this, Su Sanhuan's four faces suddenly relaxed, and they breathed a sigh of relief, Yue Chaoqun glanced at them with disdain, and sneered: "You don't want to think about why he didn't ask?" ”。

Just this sentence, Su Sanhuan, who had just relaxed, and the four of them twitched again: "Brother Yue means that he knows who did it?" ”。

"One can invite all the rich and rich when it opens. The person who invited all the observers to the venue would be a fool? Which of you can make it this far? ”。 Yue Chaoqun played with the faces of Su Sanhuan and the others, and said word by word: "Since he is not a stupid person. Then why didn't he ask? ”。

"What to do, Brother Yue", when Su Sanhuan said this, there was a faint cry in his trembling voice, "What can I do?" ”。

"What's the matter, it's not like you can't bear it! Fight with him", Yue Chaoqun said coldly, with an indescribable ridicule.

It's still human talk!

After the four of them were stunned for a while, Su Sanhuan reacted the fastest, and when he got up, he came to Yue Chaoqun, "Brother Yue, you already know about this, you must have a way."

"You can't bear it, what can I do?".

As soon as they heard Yue Chaoqun's tone, several people who reacted immediately came up and said good things, and after a long time, they heard Yue Chaoqun say lightly: "Can you listen to my idea?" ”。

"Listen, my grandson doesn't listen", Su Sanhuan and the four of them really nodded like garlic at this meeting, "Brother Yue, don't mess with us, what kind of charter is it?" ”。

"If you can't do it, it's naturally soft ground, and if you can't beat it, you have to ...... talk".

"Talk?".

"Let me ask you, is your income in the past few days really as bad as you just said?"

"I didn't ...... It's not much less than it used to be."

When Yue Chaoqun heard this, he snorted coldly, "Do you know why?" ”。

This time it was another boss who answered, "Daya Zhizhengyuan is just a vegetarian companion, and there is no skin and meat business in it."

"When Scar Hu went that day, Daya Zhizhengyuan was ready to rejoice in the money, and later added thirty percent", the sudden remark made several people stunned, Yue Chaoqun ignored them, Gu Ziyan said: "Then since Tang Cheng knows who instructed Scar Hu Di to do it, he can abolish more than 20 people in prison Scar Hu, but Yueminglou can still do business as usual these days, what does this mean?" ”。

"What?".

"Idiot", after scolding fiercely in his heart, Yue Chaoqun said again: "This shows that he is a person who knows the rules and is willing to follow the rules when doing things." ”

"Those who know the rules understand that everyone is for money, and we sent Scarbeard for money, and the same is true for him when he abolished Scarbeard. Since it's all for money, there's no need for the courage to fight for blood, such a person can talk about it at any time", at this point, Yue Chaoqun stood up, walked to the window, looked at the garden opposite, and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can keep the article that you don't let Daya Zhizhengyuan open a skin and meat business, this time Tang Cheng will offer any other conditions, and Lao Tzu will grit his teeth and admit it, you all have to follow suit." If anyone feels that they can't help it, Scarbeard will be the end! ”。
