At night, on the inland river of Hangzhou City, there are bright painted boats floating, feasting and feasting.
As an important economic center, Hangzhou's nightlife culture is not much worse than that of Beijing, and in some respects it is even more 'advanced'.
But if you really want to talk about nightlife culture, Yangzhou is actually the most powerful.
The famous, or notorious Yangzhou thin horse, is said to have had a basic prototype training system since the Northern Song Dynasty, and it was only developed after the Ming and Qing Dynasties.
There is no way, Yangzhou has always been a gathering place for salt merchants. These people are extremely wealthy, and if they have too much money, they will make some weird, even bottomless things to satisfy their empty souls.
If the rich merchants in Hangzhou still need to go to sea to earn profits, these salt merchants can eat well by lying on the salt grains.
And there is also a chain of contempt among wealthy businessmen.
Most merchants discriminate against salt merchants, thinking that they can only concoct table salt, relying on the salt monopoly privilege issued by the imperial court to do business, without any technical content, they are pure nouveau riche.
It is probably equivalent to the feeling that modern e-commerce companies secretly despise coal bosses, similar to this feeling.
Hong Shizhong was a salt merchant from Yangzhou.
Three ships of yellow salt and one ship of green salt brought to Hangzhou City are exaggerated profits.
Although Hangzhou is close to the sea, the technology of drying sea salt was not popular during the Northern Song Dynasty, and few people in Hangzhou City had the privilege of "selling salt".
Even though it is a harbor city, it still has to import salt from outside.
It only took a few days to sell out the four boats of salt. Hong Shizhong bought two expensive treasures in the Qizhen Pavilion in Hangzhou City, and then came to the Xiangyang Palace.
Ordinary salt merchants are not qualified to ask to see the prince, but after Hong Shizhong handed over a token, he was qualified to enter.
After half a stick of incense, Hong Shizhong saw the King of Xiangyang. Even though he was sitting, his back was curved, and his face was even full of charming smiles.
"My lord, Xin Wang ordered me to bring a letter to your old man." After speaking, Hong Shizhong got up, bent down and handed over a light yellow envelope respectfully: "I said that I would like to read it when there is no one around."
King Xiangyang was taken aback for a moment, and then said: "This king knows, is there anything else?"
"My lord! I brought two skinny horses from Yangzhou. They are the best goods in our Yangzhou in the past three years. I feel honored to see my lord's face this time, so I thought of the best goods. Naturally, I have to give A true gentleman will do."
Thin horse King Xiangyang was slightly taken aback.
Although Yangzhou Shouma is not very famous at this time, it is already quite famous among some dignitaries who have hobbies in this area.
He thought for a while, and said: "You have a heart, after dark, send it in through the side door. By the way, what's your name?"
"The villain's name is Hong Shizhong." The salt merchant was very happy, he knew that he had successfully connected with King Xiangyang.
"I remember it." King Xiangyang picked up the teacup.
It was time to see off the guests, Hong Shizhong immediately got up and left.
After coming out of Xiangyang Prince's Mansion, he was very happy.
Those who can get the salt monopoly generally have a background in the capital.
Behind him is King Xin, and now he has successfully joined the line in Hangzhou, and the road will be wider in the future.
This person is happy, even his body seems to be a little lighter.
He walked staggeringly, returned to the hotel where he was temporarily staying, and led the two beautiful little girls out, planning to buy them some better clothes and dress them up.
Although generally Yangzhou thin horses are raised with rich clothes and fine food when they are cultivated, and there are also various literary and artistic talents, but that is only for ordinary dignitaries. If they are sent to the King of Xiangyang, their clothes should be more better.
The two little girls followed behind Hong Shizhong timidly, their expressions full of bewilderment.
They already knew their fate, and they were probably going to be given away, so they were in a state of anxiety.
Hong Shizhong took them to the best cloth store in Hangzhou City. As soon as he entered the door, he was surprised by the rainbow silk hanging in the back of the hall.
It's as if the rainbow has been plucked and placed in this shop.
Hong Shizhong looked at it well, and then praised: "As expected of a fairy family thing, it is full of aura when you look at it."
The shopkeeper was standing behind the long counter. Hearing this, he smiled proudly.
Now almost all the rainbow silks on the market have been eaten up, and his horse is extremely precious.
He is not afraid of such a good thing.Looking at Lu Sen vividly, there was some expectation in his eyes.
The two of them knew their fate, and they would sell it to others after all. And there is a high probability that it will be sold to an old man, or an ugly man.
The gentleman in front of me, with fluttering white clothes and jade-like skin, when he smiled lightly, seemed to smell like the warm sun in the spring snow, which made people feel very comfortable.
So, if you really want to sell someone, just be bought by this beautiful gentleman in front of you.
Hong Shizhong looked Lu Sen up and down, and then Yang Jinhua out of the corner of his eye, feeling his scalp tingling more and more.
In Yangzhou City, he was considered a well-known wealthy businessman. He often went to high-ranking officials' residences, and he also went to the capital to pay respects to the nobles.
The young man in front of him, in addition to his dusty aura, also has an aura of nobility, the kind that is beyond words.
"My lord, the two of them are indeed toothbrush. I brought them back from Yangzhou." Hong Shizhong folded his fists and bent down, and said cautiously: "But it has been promised to the King of Xiangyang."
Lu Sen frowned slightly.
Yang Jinhua next to him asked: "Officer, are these two little girls really special?"
Lu Sen nodded, and whispered in Yang Jinhua's ear: "It's luck, these two are also the fish that slipped through the net."
Yang Jinhua was slightly surprised.
Although she, Bilian, and Meier have also been in contact with the "immortal method", they have also asked Lu Sen before, and know that the three of them are "forcibly blocked" under the supervision of heaven. Certain limitations.
Every bit of progress on the fairy road will cost more resources.
But people who are born to slip through the net are different. When they practice, they will make rapid progress and will not consume many resources.
But this is actually what Lu Sen said to the outside world.
The real reason ishe is now lv3, in addition to the increase in personal attributes, there are more recipes, and a "teacher and apprentice" function has also been unlocked.
And judging from the darkened parts of the system functions that are not lit up, this master-apprentice function should eventually evolve into a "martial art" function.
This is nothing unusual, after all, many online game systems have similar functional blocks.
The name is not the same.
Now Lu Sen can accept 6 apprentices, but the problem is that the conditions are very harsh.
Only when a person's fortune reaches a certain value, the system will consider him qualified as a teacher.
In Lu Sen's 'spouse' candidate column, there are at least two to three thousand character cards, but none of them can meet the standard. Even the stronger Marshal Mu, Fuyuan is only two-thirds of the system requirements .
Not to mention other people, the vast majority of people are less than one-third.
But for these two pretty little girls in front of them, Fu Yuan not only met the standard, but also surpassed it by a lot.
In Lu Sen's eyes, the outlines of these two girls were even marked 'highlighted' by the system.
There are many benefits to accepting apprentices. One-fifth of the spiritual energy obtained from apprentices' cultivation will be directly provided to Lu Sen. At the same time, each time an apprentice is recruited, the area of ??the home system will increase by two acres.
In addition, every time Lu Sen takes an apprentice, he can also get a bonus in attributes.
etc!
It can be said that, privately speaking, Lu Sen definitely wants to take apprentices.
As for Yu Gong accepting apprentices is also an important part of Lu Sen's plan.
He originally thought that it would be difficult for him to find an apprentice, and he thought that in a year or two, he would hold a grand audition here in Hangzhou.
However, I didn't expect that when I went out for a walk by myself, I would meet two of them.
And they are still twins.
Hearing that it was related to the official's plan, Yang Jinhua stood up and said: "This official, my family's official is very interested in the two little girls, can you part with them?"
"I just said that these two girls have been given to the King of Xiangyang." Hong Shizhong said cautiously: "Please forgive me."
When the two 'skinny horses' next to him heard this, their eyes darkened immediately. Although King Xiangyang had a good reputation, he was already an old man, so how could he compare with the handsome man in front of him.
"I heard it." Yang Jinhua smiled and said, "We will talk to King Xiangyang about this."
"Please don't embarrass me." Hong Shizhong said hypocritically: "If I break my promise and let people know, how will I do business in the future?"
Naturally, Lu Sen and Yang Jinhua would not be fooled by Hong Shizhong's performance. They glanced at each other and smiled.
Lu Sen said: "Don't worry, King Xiangyang will not refuse what I offer."
Hong Shizhong's expression became curious.
Lu Sen took out a Zhao token, put it in front of the shopkeeper, and said, "I want this piece of rainbow silk first, can you give it up?"
Lu Sen didn't want to reveal his identity, so he wanted to borrow this rainbow silk first.
When the shopkeeper saw the token, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes, and then he smiled and said, "Please, sir."
Hong Shizhong looked at the rainbow silk placed in front of him with a very good-looking expression.sp; Hong Shizhong's expression became curious.
