Eight famous prostitutes have taken the stage, and the eight performances lasted for a month, making the Golden Hairpin Building the most widely discussed green building during this time, and it was also very successful as soon as it opened, but then the performance of the Golden Hairpin Building was not over, and other famous prostitutes will be invited to perform here.

However, it is no longer Li Biansha, Gu Zheng, Gu Xuma and other first-class famous prostitutes, and the next step will be to select those second-rate famous prostitutes with distinctive characteristics to perform, and Yang Chao's large-scale performance planned for two months until the end of the year will continue until it closes down during the Chinese New Year.

But there will be no special invitations to guests, but through that ledger, send a month's program list, interested guests can book a place in advance, must be booked ten days in advance, otherwise there may be no seats.

This model will be the fixed model of the Jinchai Building in the future, similar to the Grand Theater in later generations, with a program list and guests buying tickets to enjoy, rather than the opening of the first few days, according to the opening model of the Qinhuai River Qinglou, inviting celebrities to hold the girl's field.

When the mode is fixed, Yang Chao doesn't plan to care, what should be explained, what should be explained, what should be advised, and what should be told completely.

Then Yang Chao: "I have to concentrate on training in the future, and I don't have much time to come here." ”

Hearing that Yang Chao didn't have time to come, the two couldn't help but feel pity.

Yang Chao said again: "Brother Wang, I don't know if your family has anything to do with the shipyard?" Help me get a boat out of Longjiang Shipyard cheaply. ”

Wang Xiao said: "Brother Yang wants to buy a boat?" ”

Yang Chao said: "Nonsense, I'm the commander of the navy, if I don't have a boat, is it still called a navy." ”

Wang Xiao nodded: "It's a good time to buy a ship now, and the freight rate is the same every day." ”

Wang Xiao now has mastered the Wang family's grocery store, which is a big grocery store, although it loses money, but where is the volume, every year, every month, every day a large number of goods are needed, so the freight rate is a very concern.

River bandits are infested, and the freight cost of crossing the river alone is more than 30 percent higher than in the past, and it is still rising.

However, what surprised Yang Chao was that Yang Chao wanted to buy a ship, Wang Xiao immediately thought of the freight rate, and thought that Yang Chao was in business, this is really a born businessman's son, but unfortunately he is not a son-in-law.

After that, Yang Chao didn't care about the Jinchai Tower, and returned to the barracks, the army was far more important to Yang Chao than the Jinchai Tower.

However, Yang Chao also cares about the business of Jinchai Building from time to time.

Jin Hai Lou is naturally completely famous, there are four famous prostitutes gathered together twice, and most of them are very appreciative of the stage drama, this is still the first in Nanjing, it is difficult to think of being famous.

The only pity is that Jinchai Lou does not have its own top brand, and its attraction to those merry men is slowly declining, and some customers are gradually lost.

And because it is too famous, many people scold, and the most fierce scolding is those poor scholars who have no money, they can't afford to spend Jinchai Building because they have no money; The second is those talented people who are small but not very famous, because they were not invited to open the Golden Hairpin Building, so they have been indignant, causing trouble and spreading rumors, composing poems and satirizing, and doing everything they can.

Just like Vanity Fair in later generations, the more famous you are, the more you scold, and no one scolds you, so it won't be popular. If you want to enjoy fame and fortune, you have to accept slander, the world is so fair, there is never a good thing that only enjoys benefits and does not pay a price.

As soon as it opened, it made a great reputation, which is what the Qinglou industry needs most, how much reputation you can gather at the beginning, often sets the tone for your future, whether it is a first-class Qinglou, or a second-rate character, it depends on whether you can gather huge popularity at once.

From this point of view, Yang Chao has done a very successful job, and it depends on how Kang Cheng's follow-up operation is.

But to Yang Chao's surprise, the business is high and low, and the speed of low is very fast, although there are some fixed customers, there can be a thousand taels of silver every month, in Nanjing is second only to Meixianglou, Meilou and a few other green buildings, but Yang Chao's expectations are too far away, Yang Chao did not want to compete with Meixianglou these green buildings, but to set up a banner, to be a benchmark, but I didn't expect the benchmark not to say, really competitive, really can't compete in the world.

Kang Cheng thinks that Jin Hai Lou does not have its own town building girl, but the girl does, Liu Ru is and Dong Xiaowan are very good, but unfortunately Jin Hai Lou does not dare to use it, these two people can only hide and raise it now, and dare not let anyone know that they are hiding in Jin Hai Lou, otherwise they will cause trouble.

Yang Chao has never had a good idea, he can't let Gu Mei and others help every day, it's okay once or twice once in a while, but it won't work after a long time, and he has already used the fame of these famous prostitutes twice, so let them come together, and then invite one or two, it won't have any effect, to put it bluntly, Jin Hailou still has to rely on his own hard power.

It's a pity that Yang Chao can't put too much energy on the Jinchai Tower, so he can only let Kang Cheng explore it by himself.

For Yang Chao, military training is the most important thing at present.

Fortunately, there were no accidents in the barracks during this time, and the eight teams were training the recruits step by step, and they were still very excited.

A few months ago, they were still being trained, but now they suddenly turned into serfs and sang, and suddenly became a trainer.

So they pretended one by one, put on a majestic posture, beat and scolded at every turn, and the soldiers who beat grinned with their teeth.

It's not that they like to beat people, but Yang Chao has a promise, their promotion depends on the results of training, Yang Chao has always done what he says, and he has never given less money that should be given, and even rarely given late.

So they all believe that Yang Chao will decide who to promote as the flag general according to the training level, although Yang Chao did not say how many to promote, but everyone has a spectrum in their hearts, a hundred soldiers are at most three flag generals, and there is already a pig breeder and a vegetable flag general in the barracks.

If you can't figure it out, Yang will only promote one flag president, eight people compete for a position, and the vast majority of people are holding their breath.

The effect of the healthy competition between the officers is obvious, that is, the level of their military posture, rapid advance, not to mention ten days, Yang Chao feels that there are five days, and they can pass the test.

There are also unsatisfactory, the Longjiang Shipyard behind the barracks has never agreed to reduce the price, and the warship that no one has wanted has been missing, and it will not be sold if it is less than 1,500 taels, preferring to let the ship rot in the dock.

Yang Chao didn't care too much about fifteen hundred taels, but Yang Chao would often buy boats here in the future, so it was impossible to pay a high price.

The Wang family is in the canal business, and the scale of the Wang family's fleet is famous in the entire Jiangnan, and it must have something to do with the shipyard.

Unfortunately, the result was very unexpected, when the Jinchai Building was separated, Wang Xiao made it clear that the Wang family had nothing to do with the shipyard in Nanjing, because most of the Wang family's boats were built by themselves, and the Wang family had shipyards in Hangzhou and Huai'an, so there was no need to use other ships.

"My lord, why don't we want that warship, how about changing to a shallow ship, the price of a shallow ship is not high recently, and the shipyard is willing to sell it for a hundred taels of silver!"

Unable to buy a warship, Lao Zhang suggested that Yang Chao change to another ship.

Lao Zhang's words made Yang Chao very puzzled, shallow boats are the main style of Daming Cao boats, and they have always been in demand.

This kind of shallow boat usually pulls hundreds of loads of grain.

The volume of goods is not large, but the sales are very good, because the Ming court is the largest customer of this kind of ship, and the court has to allocate funds to buy hundreds of ships every year, but there is still a big gap.

Originally, millions of loads of grain in the south of the Yangtze River needed to be transported to the north by boat, but in the past few years, there has been a great drought in the north, and the imperial court will also purchase grain in the south of the Yangtze River, so the transportation volume is much more than the official tax grain.

Therefore, the shallow ships did not have to worry about finding a buyer at all, and even many officers and soldiers who transported troops actively raised money privately to build boats for the government, not because they were highly conscious, but because they were profitable, and the boats did not have to pay taxes when they went north, and the profits from carrying smuggled goods were very large.

Most of the time, transporting troops is actually just an extra sum of money to the shipyards, so that they can lengthen and widen the government-standard boats, which can pull more cargo than the official ships, and the extra part is the profit of the officers and soldiers.

Many shallow ships carry only 400 quintals on the books, but in reality each ship often carries 1,000 quintals.

The so-called road is one foot high and the magic is one foot high, and the imperial court is not unaware of this problem, so some ministers have suggested that the gauge of the cao ship be directly set as a thousand quintals, which restricts the entrainment of military and private goods, because if it exceeds a thousand quintals, it may not be possible to pass through some locks on the canal.

It's just that the imperial court acquiesced to this unspoken rule, thinking that if it was forbidden to carry private goods, I was afraid that the transportation of troops would have no livelihood in the future, and they would not honestly undertake the task of transporting goods, and even flee.

In addition, the vast majority of the entrainment is actually the entrainment of officials, and the entrainment of troop transportation is only a small part of it, so the opposition is very strong, and eventually this unspoken rule continues to prevail.

Therefore, the shallow boat has always been very popular, and there is no worry about sales at all, but Lao Zhang said that the price of the shallow boat has been reduced sharply recently.

"What, there's something wrong with the shallow boat?"

Yang Chao couldn't help but wonder if there was a problem with the quality of the shallow ships in the shipyard, so no one wanted it.

If it is a quality problem, Yang Chao will not ask for it.
