After obtaining the business status and taking Fangshan, Huang Xiongying is ready to show his ambitions.

However, if you want to develop Fangshan, the money you need is not a small amount.

Therefore, Huang Xiongying's top priority is to start a business in wine and salt, so that he can have enough money to become a coal boss.

In fact, being a salt merchant is much more profitable than digging coal.

But Huang Xiongying didn't want to use salt to make money in the long run.

Because salt, for this era, is not only about people's livelihood, but also about the country.

The imperial court needed to control the whole society by controlling salt, and the salt tax revenue was huge, an extremely important part of a country's fiscal revenue!

If private control is allowed to buy and sell salt, it is easy to cause adverse effects and is not conducive to social stability, but if the official control is even easier, it is easier to stabilize salt prices, stabilize the market, and stabilize society!

Therefore, Huang Xiongying sold salt through the relationship between Cao Guogong and Li Jinglong, and took the line of the official government to sell salt through the official government.

In other words, Huang Xiongying is responsible for salt production, and the terminal sales are still the government.

And Li Jinglong's role is actually like a middleman, and in the name of Cao Guogong, the government does not dare to suppress Huang Xiongying's price.

Huang Xiongying's plan was to use salt to make some money, and then hand over the method of salt production to the imperial court.

After all, salt is too involved, and if it is handed over to the imperial court, it can be regarded as doing something for the benefit of the country and the people for the Ming Dynasty.

As for the sake of wine, I don't pay so much attention to it.

Alcohol is not a necessity like salt, and the control of the imperial court will not be so strict.

The liquor made by Huang Xiongying is made according to the Moutai liquor making method given by the system, which can be called the best.

This thing was originally a luxury in later generations, and only the powerful could afford to consume it.

It is even rarer in this era.

If you want to earn, then make the money of the powerful, because the powerful have a lot of money, and it is easy to earn.

With the Guo brothers, Huang Xiongying walked out of the small courtyard.

If you have alcohol, you also need to find a shop with a better location, and sell it or rent it to sell it.

Ying Tianfu, Datong Street.

Yingtian, as the capital of the Ming Dynasty, is the most prosperous place in the world.

Datong Street is close to the Forbidden City, the street is wide and straight, the ground is paved with bluestone slabs, and it is one of the most lively streets in Tianfu.

On both sides of the street, there are about three storey shops with various signs.

Grain, cloth, sugar, wine, and all kinds of rouge gouache......

The sound of small stalls and hawkers, and the endless stream of pedestrians, make everything here look so lively and lively.

After walking a little half a street, I saw a shop with a transfer sign.

Huang Xiongying walked in with the Guo brothers, and in the shop, a little girl who looked like she was fourteen or fifteen years old was sitting at the counter bored.

"Childe, what do you need?"

The shop was originally selling rouge powder, and the little girl saw Huang Xiongying, who was dressed as a brother-in-law, come in, although she felt a little strange, but she hurriedly greeted her.

Huang Xiongying didn't rush to answer, but looked at the whole shop.

The whole shop is quite elegantly furnished, with antique decoration, surrounded by calligraphy and paintings.

It doesn't look like buying rouge gouache at all, but like selling calligraphy and paintings.

It seems that the owner of this shop should be a lover of literature and art.

Huang Xiongying is quite satisfied with this clean and elegant, full of literary and artistic decoration.

Retracting her gaze, Huang Xiongying looked at the little girl: "I want to buy your shop." ”

"Oh, that's it, but ......"

The little girl's face was embarrassed: "But my young lady is still playing the piano in the private room, it's inconvenient to disturb, and I can't make a decision, why don't you wait here for a while, son?" ”

Huang Xiongying listened carefully, and could indeed hear the sound of the piano coming from the private room on the second floor.

"Yes."

Huang Xiongying nodded, he felt good about this shop, and it didn't hurt to wait.

The little girl hurriedly invited Huang Xiongying and the Guo brothers to sit down, and then brought some snacks up, the courtesy was quite thoughtful, and it seemed that they were the descendants of a large family.

Huang Xiongying had nothing to do, so he listened carefully to the sound of the piano coming from the private room.

The sound of the piano is melodious and tactful, sometimes like a clear spring dripping, and sometimes like a spring rain, showing the superb skills of the fuqin people.

Now that he is at the full level of the way of music and rhythm, he can naturally hear the mystery.

Seeing that Huang Xiongying listened carefully, the little girl said with some pride: "You are really lucky to be able to hear my young lady stroked the piano, you know, how many sons and brothers can't hear it after all their efforts!" ”

Huang Xiongying smiled when he heard this, and said: "Good piano and good music, it's a pity that ......"

"What a pity?"

The little girl's brow furrowed slightly.

"It's a pity that this song is not suitable for your young lady." Huang Xiongying said with a smile.

After listening to Huang Xiongying's words, the little girl was unhappy, and pouted: "Then you should tell me, what's not suitable?" ”

Huang Xiongying said: "Your young lady has superb piano skills, but she pays too much attention to skills, and she has not been able to pour her feelings into it. ”

"I think that your young lady is not very old, and she has not yet experienced love, so she can't control this kind of resentful song, but it is understandable."

Huang Xiongying said it politely, but she didn't expect the little girl to look at each other angrily:

"I don't know how to pretend to understand, our young lady's piano skills are the best in Beijing, how can you be appreciated by mediocre people? Hum!! ”

Huang Xiongying smiled and didn't speak.

He knew that this little girl didn't know the way of music at all, and it was useless to talk more.

The little girl saw that Huang Xiongying looked like you didn't understand and didn't bother to tell you, so she was so angry that her teeth itched, and she said angrily: "Let's go, our shop doesn't sell you people like you who don't learn and don't know how to do it, and you are still self-righteous!" ”

Guo Zhen on the side heard this, and said angrily: "Our son-in-law is both talented and beautiful, you are really eyeless!" ”

The little girl raised her head slightly, the corners of her mouth curled, and sneered: "It looks like a talent, but it's a pity that it's an embroidered pillow!" ”

When Guo Zhen heard this, she was immediately furious, pointed to the little girl and argued:

"You ......"

Before the words were spoken, Huang Xiongying pressed down Guo Zhen's hand: "Forget it, this son is not as knowledgeable as a little girl, let's go." ”

After that, Huang Xiongying turned around and left the shop with the Guo brothers.

The little girl looked disdainful and waved her little fist behind her......

Not long after Huang Xiongying's front foot left, a woman with bright eyes, jade flour cheeks, and beautiful eyes walked out of the private room.

"Chan'er, what's wrong? What was the noise out there just now! ”

It was Xu Miaojin, the daughter of Xu Da, the Duke of Wei, who spoke.

Xu Miaojin is Xu Da's third daughter, and she is also the sister-in-law of Zhu Di, the king of Yan.

Xu Miaojin was not only born like a fairy, but also talented, proficient in poetry and songs, especially praised for playing the piano well.

Zhu Di is like Zhu Yuanzhang, he just likes his sister-in-law.

Later, after the death of Empress Xu, Zhu Di immediately issued an order to summon Xu Miaojin into the palace and wanted to establish Xu Miaojin as the queen, but Xu Miaojin wrote a letter of "Letter of Rejection of Emperor Yongle" to ruthlessly refuse.

But that's all for later......

"Hmph-"

At this time, Chan'er snorted lightly: "Miss, don't say it, someone just came, saying that he wanted to take down our shop, but he said that Miss played a bad tune, I couldn't get angry, so I quarreled with him." ”

Xu Miaojin smiled when she heard this, and asked with some curiosity, "What did he say?" ”

She is very confident in her piano skills, but the playing just now is indeed a little disagreeable with her, but she can't say what is wrong for a while.

"That son said, that piece is not suitable for Miss, although Miss's piano skills are superb, but there is no emotion, and what Miss is not old and does not know love, and is worried about giving new words or something, you say that you are not angry, and you don't know how to pretend to understand!"

Chan'er is still angry when she thinks about it now.

I didn't want Xu Miaojin, but the whole person was slightly stunned.

No feelings, worried about the new words?

Yes, that's what it feels like!

Wake up the dreamer with a word!

I thought about it for a long time and couldn't get the gist of it, but that person could hear the subtlety, and it seemed that he was also a person who was proficient in music and rhythm!

In ancient times, there were mountains and flowing water to meet bosom friends, and colorful clouds chased the moon to know themselves!

Now that someone can understand her piano sound, it really makes her feel like she has met a confidant.

is the so-called broken liver and intestines, where to find a bosom friend at the end of the world!

Every time she strokes the piano in Jingshi, all she gets is praise and flattery, which makes her tired of listening, and it is so rare that someone can point out her shortcomings!

Only by knowing your own shortcomings can you make it possible to go further!

Chan'er was stunned when she saw Xu Miaojin, and couldn't help but say:

"Miss, you don't need to be so angry, we ignore this kind of person......"

Before Chan'er finished speaking, she was grabbed by Xu Miaojin's arm, "What about that person?" Where did it go?! ”

Chan'er was stunned and said dumbfoundedly: "...... I chased you away......"

"Ran away?"

Xu Miaojin was a little anxious: "When did he leave?!" ”

Chan'er scratched her head in confusion: "Just when you just came out......"

Without waiting for Chan'er to finish speaking, Xu Miaojin lifted Luo's skirt and ran out of the door.

Pity.

The figure of that man had long since disappeared into the vast sea of people......

Chan'er chased after her, breathed a sigh of relief, and asked, "Miss, what's wrong?" ”

Xu Miaojin shook her head and sighed: "Chan'er, you may have driven my bosom friend away this time." ”

"Bosom friend?"

Chan'er looked confused, when did Miss find a bosom friend, why didn't she know?

Xu Miaojin glanced at Chan'er and said, "It's really rare that person can hear the shortcomings in my piano sound, but it's a pity that I don't have the opportunity to have a good exchange with him!" ”

"Huh?"

Chan'er's mouth opened slightly.

She not only drove the person away just now, but also scolded the person for being an embroidered pillow, but she didn't expect that person to be regarded as a bosom friend by the young lady?

It seems that he really has no eyes!

Thinking of this, Chan'er had some grievances on her face, and comforted Xu Miaojin by the way: "Miss, don't worry, that person wants to buy our shop, and he will definitely come back." ”

Xu Miaojin nodded with some regret.

Chan'er, on the other hand, was determined to get that person back.

You must know that there are not many people who can make Miss fall in love, and he is also a handsome son, I heard that not long ago, King Yan expressed his intention to marry Miss, but Miss was sad.

If there is really such a young lady who can take a fancy to someone, if nothing else, at least King Yan will be able to explain.

No, I'm going to get that boy back anyway......

……

Huang Xiongying took the Guo brothers around again, and finally fell in love with a shop, but the shop was not for sale, only for rent.

After finishing their work, the three of them went home directly.

When Huang Xiongying returned to the small courtyard.

I saw two more people in the small courtyard, one was naturally his grandfather, and the other was an old man who looked older than his grandfather......
