Chapter 136: The Genius Economy
You don't need so much for the King of Heaven concert!
Li Qing wanted to complain, thinking about it, the king of heaven was not as good as Tang Bohu, far from being comparable.
In this era of relatively closed information, it is not difficult to be famous in several provinces south of the Yangtze River!
In the same way, it can still come out like this, and it is definitely a person who is famous.
Perhaps due to the influence of later generations, Li Qing has always had a filter for Tang Bohu.
Rarely, he made a big mistake and took out two hundred taels of silver tickets and handed them to the little guy.
~
The private room is huge.
The owner of the restaurant opened up several private rooms and merged them into one large private room, which is naturally spacious.
There are a lot of people, but it's not crowded, after all...... In order to see Tang Jieyuan's demeanor, there are not too many people who are willing to take out a hundred taels.
However, there were nearly fifty people in total, and ten tables were set, and Tang Bohu sat at the central table.
There are men and women, and there are young ladies who have not yet come out of the cabinet.
Tang Bohu hugged left and right, drinking and flirting. Oiran was dressed coolly, and while pouring wine, he pressed him, and his shoulders were naked. Dew, the belt slipped, and Rao is in full view of everyone, and there was also the momentum of staging the Spring Palace.
However, this is such Tang Bohu, who is still treated by others.
Those who are wooed don't mind, those who marry daughters don't mind, and those who want to marry don't mind.
Man, romance is not a stain.
Especially men who have the ability.
At this time, Tang Bohu, acting on the spot, was merry and happy, and he didn't notice Li Qing and Li Xueer, full of bohemianism.
The people around him were constantly flattering, and the two seemed out of place.
After sharing a table, Li Qing drank while observing Xiao Xue'er's expression.
The little girl was very indifferent, neither angry, nor hateful, but quite calm, but when she saw the Oiran who took the initiative too much, her little face flushed and at the same time, she couldn't help but flash a trace of disdain.
It seems that the little girl is really indifferent to this Tang Bohu...... Li Qing was a little relieved, and at the same time, he had a little headache.
Even Tang Bohu couldn't get into her eyes...... Well, such a Tang Bohu is really unpleasant, but this also proves that the little girl is really picky.
I'm probably going to be an old girl...... Li Qing smiled bitterly.
"Hahahaha......"
Suddenly laughed, attracting Li Qing's attention.
I saw Tang Bohu leaning on the back of the chair, tilting his face, laughing non-stop, and his smile had a sense of madness.
When the Oiran gave him a glass, he stopped laughing, drank it with his lips, and looked up again, but there was not the slightest smile on his face, giving the impression that the person who had laughed just now was not him.
Tang Bohu said: "You are too exalted, Tang Yin is just a vain name, the good intentions of the young ladies Tang can not stand it, it is not hidden, Tang Yin has already married a wife." ”
Hearing this, the rich gentry and the ladies flashed a trace of regret.
However, this did not hit them.
"Talented and romantic, the little girl has admired Tang Gongzi for a long time, and the big girl is not left, I don't know ...... Tang Gongzi" The person who spoke was full of smiles, and his little girl who was waiting to leave the pavilion was also blushing, and her eyes were full of expectation.
Tang Bohu withdrew his hand holding the Oiran and said seriously: "That wife of mine is from the Qinglou!" ”
This time,
Everyone is not calm anymore.
The prostitute in the Qinglou is the wife, and her daughter is the concubine?
Although in this era when the daughters of large families are mostly used as bargaining chips, women's personal wishes are not important, but there are few people who are so ruthless.
Besides, they still have faces.
It's very cheap to let your daughter be a concubine, if the wife you serve is a prostitute...... It's a shame.
"Tang Dacai is going to take a career in office, how can he take a prostitute as his wife?" Some people persuaded him with good words, "The law of the Ming Dynasty can be clearly written, and officials are not allowed to take prostitutes as wives, otherwise, they will be dismissed from office!" ”
They are all 'big shots', how can there be no research on this aspect?
Although they are not officials, they are no strangers to officialdom, and they are quite familiar with the rules and regulations therein.
Tang Bohu shook it with a smile: "But I'm not an official yet." ”
"This is inappropriate after all, it is easy to be criticized, and I ask Tang Gongzi to think twice and stop the loss as soon as possible." Someone persuaded.
Tang Bohu shook his head amusedly, and as his gaze shifted, he finally saw Li Qing.
The smile suddenly froze, his face was full of surprise, and he stared at it for a long time before he was surprised:
"Is that you?"
Tang Bohu was surprised.
First, I didn't expect to see the old people here at this moment, and the second is that I haven't seen them for ten years, but the old people who have not changed at all because of these few faces.
At the same time, there is also a hint of joy at the same time.
In other words, he felt close to the people he saw when he met the good old days.
Li Qing witnessed his beauty, and at that time, he was arrogant; At that time, he was proud; Then...... Everything was so beautiful.
Tang Bohu got up, came to Li Qing's table and sat down, and said tentatively: "Li ...... Brother Li? ”
Good fellow, you will grow me by two generations...... Li Xue'er looked at Tang Bohu with an unkind look.
Tang Bohu noticed it, his eyes moved to her, and he was condensed again.
What a beautiful woman, so familiar...... Tang Bohu sneered: "We seem to have seen ...... somewhere"
"Who has seen you!" Li Xue'er rolled her beautiful eyes.
Tang Bohu touched his nose stupidly, smiled embarrassedly, and then looked at Li Qing, "Is it you, sir, in the first year of Hongzhi in Su... Zhou Wu County Wine Store ......"
"It's me." Li Qing nodded and said with a smile, "Congratulations." ”
Tang Bohu's expression darkened, and he said lonely: "What is there to congratulate, they can't see it." ”
Li Qing listened to Xiao Xue'er's story, and when she saw him like this again, she couldn't help but sigh:
"Look ahead."
"yes, that's what I told myself, but ...... How can you let go? Tang Bohu was bitter, he no longer smiled, and he didn't have the joy of Gao Xie Yuan, or perhaps, he wasn't so happy.
"By the way, what about the old man Zhu who is with you?" Tang Bohu said, "If you are free, can Xiaosheng invite you to have a drink?" ”
"He's gone." Li Qing said.
"That's a shame." Tang Bohu regretted, "I'm sorry. ”
"The past is over after all, people, we still have to look forward." Li Qingdao said, "You are a talented person, don't be humiliated by this talent, come to think of it, Lingzun Lingtang also hopes that you will glorify your ancestors." ”
"Hmm...." Tang Bohu nodded lightly and asked, "Sir, do you have any time?" ”
Li Qing looked at the crowd that crowded over and said, "Another day, you will be busy with yours first." ”
said, stood up, "Xiao Xue'er, you have also seen Tang Dacai, and the excitement has also come together, let's go back." ”
"Okay." Li Xue'er glared at Tang Bohu, and then walked out with Li Qing.
"This girl ......"
"What for?" Michelle Lee
"Have we seen each other somewhere?" Tang Bohu asked, he really felt that he had seen Li Xue'er, but he couldn't remember when it was.
"I haven't seen it!" Li Xue'er put down a sentence stiffly, turned around, and quickly followed Li Qing.
With the departure of the two, Tang Bohu was surrounded again, but he was no longer in the mood to act on the spot.
…
Jinling City is very lively, not only the restaurant where Tang Bohu stays, but also other restaurants, but not as popular as the one where Tang Bohu is located.
The rich gentry want to attract talented people and make political investments, and businessmen see the business opportunities and will naturally seize the opportunity to make money.
As long as it is the person on the list, they are the object of their competition, not only providing free top-notch service, but also giving a lot of money.
This situation has existed for a long time, and it has become a talented economy.
In this way, the talent naturally becomes a sweet and sweet, because this is more profitable for merchants than any festival!
Of course, talents also earn, not only can they eat for nothing, but they can also make a name for themselves and raise funds.
For ordinary families, the cost of the imperial examination is not small, and the most important of this is the cost of time.
For years, more than a decade, or even decades without income, it is a problem to survive, and even many people are in debt.
From this point of view, the rich gentry's investment in talents is not only disadvantageous, but not beneficial.
Of course, rich gentry are not stupid people with a lot of money, and if you want to get their investment, you first have to be a little famous and show your potential.
To put it bluntly, this has nothing to do with the financing, listing, advertising, and gimmicks of later generations...... It's essentially the same thing.
…
Walking all the way, watching all the way, Li Qing felt a lot of emotion.
I also looked a little bit away.
There are hidden dangers in some things, but there is a rationality for their existence.
It is not advisable to be too idealistic, and the ultimate idealization is often contrary to reality.
It's powerless, but it's also acceptable.

Li Qing returned to the Hou Mansion with the front foot, and Li Hong came back with the back foot.
"Ready?" Li Qing asked.
"Almost, there is still a batch of tea leaves that are being intensified, and it is expected that it will be ready to go in another ten days." Li Hongdao, "The route has been set, and capable people who are proficient in various Chinese languages have also been prepared. ”
"It's finally time to go to sea!" Li Qing was pleased, and then asked, "What about firearms?" Don't take the guy with you for the sake of trading. ”
Thinking about going to Japan to stir up the storm, it was called a shabby, every time it was a bare-handed siege, Li Qing fell when he thought about it.
He didn't want to happen again.
Especially since this is still a water battle, Li Qing's strength must be greatly reduced on the water.
It's good if you don't run into it, but if you really want to fight, without the blessing of firearms, how can you destroy the withering and decaying?
How can it be intimidating?
"Godfather, don't worry!" Li Hong smiled, "The ones are full of money, and the rich ones are very rich." ”
As the chief military officer in charge of the naval division, he naturally has to plan for the worst situation, tens of thousands of naval divisions have been cultivated, and the imperial court has spent a huge amount of money, how can he feel sorry for the investment of firearms?
Besides, the emperor has spoken, and this time, it is to show the prestige of the Ming Dynasty.
Li Hong said proudly: "Artillery, bows and arrows, firearms...... As well as spears, broadswords and other instruments used in close combat, everything does not fall, everything is sufficient, even if he encounters the same number of water forces, it is not a problem to beat him for three days and three nights. ”
"That's good." Li Qing put his mind at ease and asked again: "By the way, has the imperial court's appropriation arrived?" ”
"The emperor didn't allocate funds, but he gave me the authority to withdraw three million taels as funds in Yingtianfu."
Li Qing hurriedly said: "Go, hurry up and urge!" ”
Li Hong said: "The emperor's will, the household department still dare not give it?" ”
"I don't dare not give it, but I dare to delay." Li Qing said in a deep voice, "Don't be indifferent, go quickly, you will definitely go to sea in ten days, otherwise, I, the big ear scraper will whip you!" ”
