It is said that when Na Lü Buwei came to Zhao State, he immediately recruited people to open a north-south warehouse, specializing in selling special products from the north and the south, so that the north and south could communicate with each other, and it was also convenient to transmit information and receive instructions.

Lü Buwei took advantage of the convenience of business exchanges, and often came into contact with some powerful people of Zhao State, Lü Buwei was a person who was good at dotting, and often used treasures and property to deliberately make friends with them. Lü Buwei took advantage of the situation to expand his business rapidly, and opened restaurants, pawnshops and brothels.

The brothel was pioneered by the Qi State Guan Zhong in the Spring and Autumn Period. At that time, in order to quickly gather people's wealth to enrich the treasury, Guan Zhongte recruited young girls, taught them songs and dances, and taught them articles, so as to please all kinds of people, so that they could spend money happily, so that the Qi country could quickly become rich and strong, so as to achieve the overlord of Qi Huan, during which the state-run brothel contributed a lot. Later, other countries followed suit, and private brothels began to appear.

Because of this, Lü Buwei is wealthy, he is generous, and he is generous, and the princes and magnates are eager to him, and he is in the limelight for a while.

On this day, a strange person came to the pawnshop, the whole person shrunk in a wide robe, wrapped so tightly that people couldn't see their faces clearly. When he came to the cabinet, the strange man took out a jade pendant from his arms and said softly: "Shopkeeper, how much do you think this can be?" The shopkeeper glanced at it and shouted: "A piece of inferior jade pendant can be used as ten knife coins." The strange man was shocked when he heard this, and shouted: "This is a palace thing, a rare treasure, how can it be worth only so much, at least a hundred sword coins." The shopkeeper said impatiently: "Go, go, where did the hillbilly come from, take a broken jade stone as a treasure." The strange man was anxious, grabbed the collar of the shopkeeper and shouted: "You are a hillbilly, you say that such a valuable thing is broken jade, you have no eyes."

The shopkeeper was furious, summoned two big men to pull the strange man out of the pawnshop, and in the pushing, the big man accidentally ripped the strange man's robe open, and the strange man showed his face, which turned out to be the proton of Qin State.

Qin Guo is powerful, although he is allied with Zhao Guo, he still often bullies Zhao Guo, Zhao Guo dares to be angry and dare not speak, he can only sprinkle his anger on this poor proton, and Qin Guo didn't take this low-born proton to heart at all, so this Ying Yiren is not pleasing on both sides, of course, life is more and more embarrassing, and in the end, he can only rely on pawning his belongings to get by, which is really pitiful and lamentable.

"Stop." Lu Buwei came in and shouted, the shopkeeper saw that the big boss was coming, and hurriedly ordered someone to leave, Ying Yiren breathed a sigh of relief, patted the dust on his body, and was about to walk out of the pawnshop. Lu Buwei suddenly stopped and asked, "Does this brother want to pawn the object?" Ying Yiren replied stupidly: "So what?" Lü Buwei asked again: "I don't know what Brother Tai wants to pawn?" How much money do you want to get? Ying Yiren said unhappily: "When you carry a jade pendant, this jade pendant was originally left by my mother and is worth a lot of money, and now because of urgent use, I have to pawn it, I wanted to get a hundred dollars for emergency, but I never thought about ......."

"Shopkeeper, go and get five hundred dollars and this brother quickly." Hearing this, the shopkeeper and Ying Yiren were stunned at the same time. The shopkeeper took the money bag and secretly whispered to Lu Buwei: "Boss, this jade pendant is worth a maximum of fifty dollars, don't let this old liar cheat it." Lü Buwei didn't answer, but just took the money bag and handed it to Yingyiren and said: "In Xia Lü Buwei, if Brother Tai has any difficulties in the future, you can find me." Ying Yiren hurriedly replied: "Under Ying Yiren, thank you Brother Lu for your righteous help, and you will repay it in the future." Lu Buwei smiled and patted Ying Yiren on the shoulder, and tucked the jade pendant into his arms. Yingyiren was grateful and thanked him.

The lights are on at the beginning of the month, and the moon is on the eyebrows. At this time, in Lü Buwei's living room, there was a merry young woman. The young woman took out a letter and handed it to Lü Buwei, who respectfully accepted the letter with both hands, held it in his hand, and carefully opened it to read it carefully. After reading it, he knelt down to the south and bowed loudly: "The minister respectfully obeys the decree of the Lord." And when he had finished speaking, he got up and greeted the woman, and was very attentive.

This woman is the special envoy Xia Ji sent by Chen Xiang, who went to Zhao to hide in Lü Buwei's brothel this time, and assumed the pseudonym 'Zhao Ji'.
