Chapter 14: Wang Ya's Request
Three days passed quickly, and Yang Liu also rushed over from the Yong'an generation, according to his words, now the Yang family's refined salt shops have spread all over the Hedong, and with a slight wave of his hand, the Wang family can be put to death. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Of course, for his brother's love to brag, Wei Yu Chengxi will not debunk it, where is it so simple for the Wang family's century-old family to collapse him. But the two of them still kept praising the ability of the willow, making the willow fluttering.
Later, Dian Wei, who was still an honest man and a simple man, said a faithful word: "The hundred-legged insect dies but does not stiffen, how can the century-old family of the Wang family collapse so easily?" ”
In the surprised eyes of everyone, Dian Wei touched his head and pointed at Wei Yu and said: "This is what Zhong Dao often talks to himself, and I think that what I said is crepe, so I forcibly memorized it." There shouldn't be anything wrong with using it here, right? ”
Then Wei Yu was drunk, Cheng Xi held back his smile, and Yang Liu wanted to cry without tears.
The three of them are all well-known families in Hedong, and the people in the bazaar who are Dian Wei, a majestic man, naturally avoid them. Of course, Xiao Ru didn't come with them, because the Red Pavilion they went to today was a place that was not suitable for women.
At the end of the alley of the bazaar, a decorated attic appeared in front of the three of them, a group of famous dignitaries and nobles came in and out of this room, and those women in bright and beautiful clothes kept twisting their waists, and sent wine to the mouths of their benefactors, which was the most famous green building in Anyi and even Hedong, the Red Pavilion.
The three of Wei Yu got off the horse and entered the Red Pavilion surrounded by their own servants, which can be said to be the first time Wei Yu experienced the ancient Qinglou, although he was already prepared in his heart, but he couldn't help but be amazed when he arrived in front of him.
In fact, the word Qinglou is just Weiyu's own name, Qinglou in the late Eastern Han Dynasty should also refer to the emperor's residence of another name, brothels were really named Qinglou to the Southern Liang period.
The earliest ** in China was invented by Guan Zhong, and the 700-member female lu he established at that time was the beginning of Chinese prostitution. Its main purpose was to maintain social stability, increase fiscal revenue, and even more importantly, Guan Zhong also used prostitutes to dedicate to the enemy to deceive people's minds, and it achieved miraculous results.
So far, all countries have followed suit, and the prostitution business has developed. In addition to court prostitutes, private prostitutes have appeared in the long history of the pre-Qin period, and have made great progress in the Six Dynasties period, until the Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties.
To put it bluntly, there are two kinds of private prostitutes in ancient China, one is attached to the teaching workshop, called city prostitutes, and the other is a veritable private prostitute who has not been recognized by the imperial court. In fact, the development of private prostitutes in the Han Dynasty was not very good. Only powerful people in the local area can start a business by virtue of their connections, and most of them are geisha, and the skin and meat business is not the mainstream.
Wei Yu blinked, estimating in his heart that the three of them had been in and out of such Fengyue places before, and Wang Ya's greeting post explained that he was going to come to the Red Pavilion, so he naturally had some special emotions.
In this red pavilion, most of the people on the first floor are individual guests, and most of the matching women are just rouge fans. The second floor is a special cave, respectively, set up some private rooms that are not closed, one is to provide guests with a sense of concealment, and the other is not to close the door is also convenient for the guest door to watch some Qing Wanzi song and dance performances. Of course, these few private rooms are for those children of the family who can afford to spend a lot of money.
When the three of them arrived at the door, they handed over a salute to a servant wearing the royal costumes, made their identities clear, and led them to the small box on the second floor.
A man had already stood in front of the door, and when he saw the three of them, he immediately hugged his fists and said: "Brother Zhongdao, Brother Shaowen, Brother Ziyi, I haven't seen the three brothers for many days and they are still so radiant."
There is a lot of inconvenience here, please forgive the three of you for not going downstairs to greet you. ”
Wei Yu looked up at Wang Ya, it was the first time he recognized the man who had poisoned him, and nodded silently without answering.
"Where, where." Compared with Wei Zhongdao's silent Yang Liu's disdain, Cheng Xi still had to stand up and say politely, "It's an honor for the three of us brothers to be invited by Brother Linglu today, but it's not a matter to stand and talk, Brother Linglu, please." ”
Wang Ya's eyes were obviously a little unhappy, Cheng Xi opened his mouth and closed his mouth to call Wei Yang and the two brothers, obviously to tell him that the Wei family, the Yang family, and the Cheng family are wearing a pair of pants now.
The four of them sat down separately, the old bustard of the Red Pavilion still knows how to flatter very well, at least at this moment, several people have girls who often accompany each other, Wei Yu looked at the one that his Aunt Hong chose for herself, and couldn't help but sigh a little, waved her hand or didn't want anyone to accompany her.
"Brother Zhongdao, why didn't you ask the girl to accompany you today, isn't it because you don't want to entertain you?"
Wei Yu arched his hand and said: "We can see Brother Linglu's hospitality, but Yu is seriously ill and his body is weak and he can't stand this wine. ”
Wang Yamian knew that Wei Yu had something to say and didn't answer, but just looked at Dian Wei, who was sitting next to Wei Yu, and asked, "I don't know what this strong man is called?" ”
"A certain Chen Liudianwei, the word is evil." Dian Wei had long known that this was the person who poisoned Wei Zhongdao, and his eyes swept Wang Ya very fiercely.
Wang Ya was swept away by Dian Wei and not only shuddered, but also had to flatter a few sentences, "The evil brothers are really heroes and heroes, and the princes have let us do this cup." ”
After half of the wine, Yang Liu looked a little irritable and said, "Brother Linglu, the Ming people don't say secret words, what do you want to say about the three of us invited today?" ”
"What did Ziyi say?" Wang Ya no longer pretentiously stood up and said: "Ya has not returned from a trip in April, but I don't know that Brother Ziyi has opened a store in my Pingyang, I don't know what the Yang family means like this?" ”
"Huh." Yang Liuyin smiled and replied, "Don't you know what you mean about Wangling Road, this Hedong family should be united, there is a way to do business together, and everyone to make money together, and the Yang family's salt shop is agreed by your old lady." Let's put it this way, if your Wang family wants to open a store in my Fenyin, our Yang family will also raise their hands in favor. ”
Wang Ya was half angry by Yang Liu's words, and just wanted to reply to Cheng Xi.
"Ziyi is like this, and I ask Brother Linglu to forgive me. But we can't talk about things like this. If Brother Linglu has any difficulties, just ask. The three of us will do what we can. ”
Wang Ya sighed, he invited the three of them today to see how much confidence the three of them had, and by the way, to see the meaning of the family behind the three of them.
"The green salt business is the economic lifeblood of my Wang family, I think everyone knows it, and now the three of you have proposed a method of refining salt, so our Wang family's business will definitely be impacted.
Ziyi said it well just now, the Hedong family is a big circle, both prosperity and loss, such a method of refining salt, Ya asked everyone to come here today, just to know if the three of you can teach this refined salt method to my Wang family? ”
"Linglu's mind is a little big..."
"Our royal family is willing to give ten thousand gold..."
"It's not a matter of money..."Yang Liu slapped the table, "Once Wang Linglu refined salt is promoted, the people of the world will definitely know his method of purification." But now at this time, your opening of your mouth has already involved the issue of our family's heritage. ”
Wang Ya shook his head, he was prepared to have a low profile before coming, "In this way, let's take a step back, I don't want the purification method of refined salt, our Wang family directly buys a first-hand supply from the three of you, but the purchase price can't exceed the cost price of green salt production, I don't know what you think?" ”
Cheng Xi pressed Yang Liu, who was still talking, and set his eyes on Wei Yu. Refined salt is everything that Wei Yu provides, and the Wei family needs to call the shots.
Wang Ya also looked at Wei Yu with the gaze of the two, "Brother Zhongdao may have a misunderstanding about Ya, but that is just a private matter after all. My Wang family is now asking for such a source of goods is already very talkative, and it won't be long before the families in Hedong and even the world will find this thing, and at that time, it wasn't my Pingyang Wang family who came to talk to you. ”
"When the time comes, as long as our Wang family fanns the flames a little..."
Wei Yu didn't want to speak, but in the face of Wang Ya's threat, Wei Yu could only get up, "Brother Linglu, why did you take out our hole cards to threaten us?" To tell you the truth, even if the three of us don't give you the right to sell refined salt now, you can't do anything to us. If according to what you said in Linglu, the world's families gather together to discuss the issue of refined salt, I don't think you will be able to share the big share with your royal family's status, right? ”
After drinking a glass of wine, Wei Yu continued to speak, "The right to sell refined salt can be given to you, and we can also provide the same price as the cost price of green tobacco, but not now." ”
Wang Kai was already standing outside the box, but Wang Ya's eyes pressed him down. "I don't know when Brother Zhongdao is talking about?"
"After the autumn grain hoarding! Your royal family does not charge gold or silver for buying our refined salt, but can only exchange it for grain at an equivalent price, even if all the families in the world come here, we will be this condition. ”
After Wei Yu finished speaking, he did it and poured a glass of wine for Dian Wei, this brother had already made a move just now when Wang Kai wanted to make trouble. The two halberds that Wei Yu made for him had already been covered by him, and as long as Wang Kai made a move, he could immediately wash the Red Pavilion in blood.
Wang Ya was thinking, he was trying to control himself, trying to hide his joys, sorrows, and sorrows in his heart. In fact, the purpose of his visit today has been achieved, and the initial stage is just a sky-high price, and then bargaining is an important process of this investigation.
Wang Ya had long known that with the promotion of refined salt, the manufacturing method of refined salt could not become a secret at least in front of the world's families, but it would take time after all. He didn't think about spending a high price to buy a method, the most important thing for him was to get the right to sell refined salt before other families.
Food and land are the foundation of a family, if the Wang family says that it is not as good as Hedongwei in terms of money, but if it is said that it is definitely the gate of Hedong. At present, it is almost November, and the hoarding of autumn grain has come to an end, and Wang Ya only needs to endure for more than ten days to be able to get refined salt from Wei's hands, so that his own crisis, including the crisis of the Wang family, can be resolved. So he was very satisfied with Wei Yu's proposal.
The goal has been achieved, Wang Ya took Wang Kai and other generals to leave in advance, for him, the current Wang family still has a lot of things waiting for him to deal with.
Wang Kai put on a robe for him, and Wang Ya slowly spoke, "Ah Kai, tell me the truth, if you face the Dian Wei just now, how sure are you?" ”
Wang Kai hesitated a little, but he still blushed and said, "There is no point." ”
Wang Ya stopped talking, and got into the carriage directly, and didn't forget to look at the box upstairs when he left, but finally put the curtain down.
Although Wang Ya always felt that something was wrong, at least there was no flaw in this matter on the surface...
