Chapter 63: A Race Against Time
The main source of income of the Imperial Capital Tea House is divided into two parts, accommodation, tea and pastry fees, in the final analysis, they are all doing business for some regular customers, so when you go to the tea house, you must often invite a good storyteller or troupe to perform to bring people flow.
There is no saying that this industry will not open for three years and will open for three years, and it is difficult to ask for new changes to make money quickly.
"What business?"
Shopkeeper Sun looked at Zhou Huan with some confusion.
"A business that can make Ruyi Building very popular and make you a lot of money. ”
Zhou Huan patted the shoulder of the shopkeeper Sun and said.
"Big brother, if you are short of money, I still have a lot of silver here, but good brothers don't do business, it's easy to hurt feelings. ”
Shopkeeper Sun thought about it and shook his head, he went through a lot of things when he opened a teahouse, and he also encountered a lot of scammers, and many of them didn't want to deceive people at first, but really thought it was a good business, and then invested money into it, and finally ended up bankrupt.
"Shopkeeper Sun will listen to me first, even if there is a problem in this business, you will only lose a hundred taels of silver, but the profit is very remarkable. ”
Zhou Huan said his thoughts, and his idea was very simple, that is, to tell the story first, and then start a newspaper after becoming famous, and after running a newspaper, he would naturally be able to publish the newspaper to find Tang Yunniang or Chen Yunying.
In this era, the blessings of the Tuowu people, the logistics are very developed, the business environment is also very prosperous, but in terms of entertainment and culture, it is very barren, the scholars have the right to speak, their literary and classical Chinese cut off the communication between the upper and lower levels, the entertainment culture of the ordinary people is very little, except for a few official newspapers such as Di Bao and other government circulation newspapers, there is no cultural newspaper that can face the people.
This made Zhou Huan, who had no clues to find Tang Yunniang, really have nothing to say, so he decided to set up a newspaper to publish the missing person notice, or let reporters from all over the world help find Tang Yunniang.
Or at least become famous first, after becoming famous, it will naturally be easier to find Tang Yunniang.
Or at least make a sum of money first, so that you don't end up on the streets.
"Brother Wang, your idea is very good, but can this commentary be famous?"
Shopkeeper Sun flipped through the manuscript written by Zhou Huan, although the things in it were very exciting, he was a little unsure of his idea.
"This matter is not in a hurry, I want to trouble Shopkeeper Sun to do me a favor, follow me to Baiyun Temple, and meet the real person stationed in the Wudang faction. ”
Half an hour later, Zhou Huan and Shopkeeper Sun came to Zhenwu Palace, that is, the base camp of the Wudang faction in the capital. Although the Nine Great Sects sound like a lot, they are actually mainly disputes between Buddhism and Taoism, and the Wudang faction, as the head of Taoism, will build the Zhenwu Palace very magnificently.
"Isn't this the shopkeeper Sun, how can you come to the Zhenwu Palace to incense today?"
A smiling figure came from not far away, this is a sworn enemy of the shopkeeper Sun, the owner of a famous teahouse in Beijing, who beat him ten years ago, and then used that money to carry forward the teahouse.
"We're here to see the pure real person of the True Martial Palace, don't you know he's here?"
Zhou Huan heard that Shopkeeper Sun had said about this person, Zhou Huan smiled and said to Zhike.
"This gentleman, a pure and real person, is doing his homework and has not seen any outsiders for the time being. ”
Zhike replied very kindly, and then Zhou Huan handed over a token.
"This is a token that Jinfeng Zhenren left to my family back then, and he said that he could get help from the Wudang Sect with this. ”
Zhou Huan put the token in Zhike's hand, and Zhike's attitude suddenly became respectful.
When Chen Yunying left, he gave Zhou Huan a token and a letter of recommendation, asking him to find the Jinfeng Zhenren of the Wudang faction, and afterwards Zhou Huan inquired that Jinfeng Zhenren was the uncle of the Wudang faction, and his status in the sect was very high.
"What is the name of this little brother, the contemptible surname is Li, the eighteen-character Li, the boss of Tianxiang Building. ”
The fat shopkeeper saw what Zhou Huan took out and the attitude of the customer, and he also seemed enthusiastic.
Jianghu factions often need the help of secular figures, and secular characters also need the help of Jianghu sects when they encounter problems, but the exchange of favors sometimes takes too long, or what if someone wants to leave favors to their children?
So each major sect has specially minted a token token, which can only be used by the high-level, and those who get it can go to each major sect for help, this kind of token is difficult to obtain, and Boss Li's level is not accessible at all.
"I'm here to talk to Qingjing real people, Boss Sun is my partner, and I still need Boss Li to support me when the time comes. ”
Zhou Huan snorted, and at the same time found that Shopkeeper Sun's body took half a step back and stood behind Zhou Huan, from a psychological point of view, that is, he put himself in the position of subordinate.
Think about it, Boss Sun has seen a lot of people in the rivers and lakes, but his identity can't climb up to the super faction like the Wudang faction, if he knows that Zhou Huan has a relationship with the Wudang faction, then he will definitely agree to Zhou Huan's request as soon as possible.
"Shopkeeper Sun, this business we want to do, two people can't eat, someone must shelter and help, I have an old relationship with the Wudang faction, you have no objection to asking them to draw a share in the middle, right?"
The brothers settle the accounts, Zhou Huan is now alone in the imperial capital, even if the shopkeeper Sun is reliable, but his relatives and friends are not necessarily, when the time comes, he secretly arranges an accident for Zhou Huan, who will Zhou Huan talk to?
What's more, this business really needs the support of different sects.
Soon Zhike led Zhou Huan into the Zhenwu Palace, Zhou Huan browsed the structure of this Taoist temple, although it was clean, but many places were a little dilapidated, which made Zhou Huan breathe a long sigh of relief, because this kind of Wudang faction is what Zhou Huan wants.
Among the nine major sects, Wudang Shaolin has the best reputation and the strictest restraint on disciples, unlike other sects that try to make money, and even develop to the point of unscrupulousness.
On the other side, the Pure Daoist of the White Cloud Temple looked at the token in his hand and frowned.
This is the token left by the Golden Wind when he traveled the world, and the unique logo of the Wudang faction on it cannot be faked, and anyone who can take out this kind of token in the rivers and lakes can go to the Wudang faction everywhere for help, and what do the people who come here want to do this time?
The capital is different from other places, there are many dignitaries and dignitaries here, and if you are not careful, there will be a big turmoil, and I only hope that the people who hold the token will not let the people of the Wudang faction go to rob the law field.
"Master, this is the information of those two people. ”
Taking advantage of the gap between the two of them drinking tea accompanied by Zhike, the disciples inquired about the news of Zhou Huan and the shopkeeper Sun from the local neighborhood, which made the pure Taoist breathe a sigh of relief and sigh again.
This is definitely an autumn wind, it must be, will it be five hundred taels of silver or one thousand taels of silver at that time?
Touching his beard, the pure Taoist sighed slightly.
A quarter of an hour later.
If you think that with a token of a sect, you can get other people in this sect to help selflessly, then you can go to other leaders for help under the banner of a certain leader in the real world and see what the effect will be?
Especially this kind of trivial trouble and the busyness of money!
"The business of storytelling, and the printing bureau needs to help with printing? From the beginning, you need to invest three thousand taels of silver?"
When the pure real person heard Zhou Huan's request, he kept shaking his head.
"Let's talk about this later, Mr. Wang. ”
"This is the token that Goldwind Zhenren left to my family, and now it is useless to stay on me, I am willing to mortgage it to Zhenren, I only hope that Zhenren will give me a chance.
In this matter, I will give the Wudang faction 30% of the dry shares, and at the same time guarantee that Xuanwuguan can earn more than 5,000 taels of silver within a month, and I can sign the paperwork for this, how about it?"
Zhou Huan put the token in his hand in front of the pure real person and said with a smile.
This token was put outside, and tens of thousands of taels of silver could be exchanged, but at this moment, what Zhou Huan needed was not money, but a race against time.
He wants to find Tang Yunniang!
