Jinyi champion

Chapter 103
Under the guidance of San, Zhu Hao went to meet the troupe leader Long who had sung for them before.

Lu Song followed and asked puzzledly, "Who is that?"

Zhu Hao said: "It used to be that they sang operas on the stage, but after I bought a new troupe, they can only sing stage plays and so on, and their profits are not as good as before. That's why they want to talk to me about business."

"Is it related to the Zhu family...Jin Yiwei?"

Lu Song seemed to be asking, but it was more of a test, paying attention to Zhu Hao's reaction.

Zhu Hao looked as usual: "Lu Dianzhan is overly worried. It is impossible that the Xingwang Mansion has not investigated the details of this group of people, right? A group of actors traveling all over the world, can they have something to do with Jin Yiwei? Even if Jin Yiwei needs informants, why buy them? Do you think Jin Yiwei really has the ability to predict things like a god, so that the palace will invite them to perform in an opera?"

These words seemed to wake up Lu Song, this guy actually stopped and stroked his chin in thought, as if he was really considering whether there was such a possibility.

Zhu Hao looked up at the sky, and said angrily: "Even if the troupe enters the palace, what can they do? Be an assassin? Or have a chance to spy on some amazing information? Lu Dianzhang, the burden of protecting the palace falls on you!"

At the beginning, I was still reasoning, but then I gave up. The last sentence seemed to be encouraging, but it was actually ironic.

Do you, Lu Song, take yourself too seriously?

He himself is a spy of Jin Yiwei, but he guards against Jin Yiwei everywhere, and as a second or fifth young man who plots against the palace, he spares no effort to protect the palace?

What the lunatic is talking about is a guy like you who eats inside and out and doesn't even have a straight mind!

……

……

Zhu Hao and Yu San ran across a row to viciously compete, and now the bookstall, which is on the verge of bankruptcy, has reached the place where the official shop is.

Originally, there were not many people in the open space to the west of the palace, and it was far away from the Flower and Bird Market and the Morning and Evening Market in the city. Even if there were businesses in the surrounding area, they all made a living of "not opening for three years, but opening for three years".

However, after Zhu Hao took the lead in developing the open space into a local cultural and entertainment market in Anlu, the popularity of the surrounding neighborhoods skyrocketed. Following the rise of the catering industry, more than a dozen large and small shops opened, and some people even came to sell ready-made clothes, books, pens and inks. paper inkstone...

Since you have time to listen to books and watch plays, it means that your family is in good condition. Do you want to know more about clothes?Do you want to read the new storybook?Do you want to buy some arty four treasures of study?

So far, there has been diversion from Huaniao City, and some people have come to gather around the open space, as if they regard this place as an emerging market center in Anlu.

"Hello Yu San!"

"Isn't this Yu Daguan?"

"Third Master, the store has launched a few new dishes, would you like to try them?"

Wherever Yu San goes now, he is always a man of influence.

The shopkeepers of those small stores all know that because the bookstore opened by Yu San has driven the economic prosperity of the entire area, and Yu San himself has a rough background in the world, and he knows a lot of people of all kinds, making him like the local emperor of this block. , Wherever you go, you can be recognized by people, and you are courteous and flattering.

Zhu Hao, as the master behind the scenes, was unknown to others, so he followed behind and watched with a smile.

Lu Song was incredulous about the high-standard treatment San received...

What is the background of this kid?Is there such a wide network of people?It seems that passers-by have to put down their work and greet him when they see him?
Could it be Jin Yiwei?

Zhu Hao seemed to see what Lu Song was thinking, and explained: "You also know that this place used to be desolate, and you couldn't even see a ghost during the day. Look how lively it is now? It's all supported by him alone. of."

It was only then that Lu Song knew why Yu San had such a social status. He felt that others treated Yu San as his parents.

Lu Song cursed secretly in his heart, "Three teachings and nine streams of the market", and then ignored it.

……

……

Arrived at a teahouse.

Leader Long sat there sullenly, seeing Yu San coming was fine, but when he saw Zhu Hao following behind, he rushed out to greet Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao waved his hand: "Team Leader Long, you are too polite... How can you say that you are asking for a meeting today?"

Troupe leader Long cried: "I still want to ask you, my master. We sang well in the first place, so why did someone replace us? So many people asked me to sing in an opera before, but I didn't agree... It's all about the loyalty of the world. My master, you You can't cross the river and tear down the bridge!"

Yu San frowned: "Why do you speak so harshly? If you have something to say, why did you cross the river and tear down the bridge? There is no business for you right now, or what? You want to sing for others, and no one stops you!"

Of course, Team Leader Long knew that Yu San was very strong, so if he didn't fight with Yu San, or in other words, he wouldn't be able to compete with Yu San. The one who really had the final say had to be this kind-hearted young man who usually greets people with a smile.

Zhu Hao sat down with a smile, and was about to take the teapot to pour tea by himself. Leader Long quickly picked up the teapot, poured tea for Zhu Hao attentively, and put both hands in front of Zhu Hao.

Zhu Hao took the teacup with a smile, and said, "Team Leader Long, we are all businessmen, we are honest, your character is very respected, but if I want to do long-term business, I must buy a theater troupe to make a living... There is nothing wrong with that Bar?"

"Ha ha."

Leader Long smiled wryly, unable to continue.

"Earlier, I asked my third brother to discuss with you about buying your theater troupe. Didn't you agree? This is... it just happened to be suitable, and I let them perform some new plays, but I lost money. Squad Leader Long, you... Little Third Brother, have you paid Squad Leader Long a lot of money recently? If there is less, I will make up for Squad Leader Long from my share!"

Zhu Hao immediately looked at Yu San.

Yu Sanzhi proudly said: "No less, there are more. Now that the business is so good, no one has been treated badly!"

Zhu Hao said: "If there is no shortage, I will also make up for some tea money for Team Leader Long. They are all out to run the world, who will be easy? Team Leader Long, although you are not going to perform this play for the time being, there are many of you who should learn Learning, isn't the most important thing in this opera is to learn the technique, so that even if you set up a stage in another place, you can still gain a foothold?"

Squad Leader Long wondered: "That's the truth, but..."

Next to him, Lu Song couldn't listen any longer, and said with a dark face: "When people bought your theater troupe and you didn't sell them, and wanted to make money, you should expect to be replaced by others... Now they find their own theater troupe to sing, It also made you a lot of money, why are you not satisfied?"

Leader Long looked curiously at the tall and handsome man behind Zhu Hao, and muttered, "If you have money, you will hire bodyguards like others?"
Zhu Hao said with a smile: "Let me introduce to Squad Master Long. This is Lu Dianzhang from the Imperial Guard Department. Lu Dianzhang is a sixth-rank official. In terms of official rank, he is even higher than our local county magistrate."

Leader Long was taken aback when he heard that, he hurriedly took a step back, knelt down and kowtowed: "I have seen Master Lu!"

Lu Song couldn't help frowning when he heard the words, he immediately realized that he was being used by Zhu Hao again.

He didn't agree to do business with Zhu Hao, so Zhu Hao spared no effort to pull him out as a backer for the bookstore, and his official rank of sixth rank seems to be higher than that of the magistrate's seventh rank, but in terms of status, He is not even worthy of carrying shoes for the magistrate, the head of the local civil servants.

In terms of official establishment in the Ming Dynasty, the Yiwei Department of the Wangfu was only equivalent to a thousand households, and the Yiwei Zheng was only the fifth rank, which was equivalent to a thousand households. A battle is equivalent to a hundred households with the same rank, but the number of subordinates is not as many as a hundred households.

But where did ordinary people know the inside story of the "Wangfu Yiweisi", as long as they understand that this is an official, it is enough, enough to make him worship.

If it was spread out through Squad Master Long that he was a sixth-rank official in the imperial court, but he was just a follower in front of Zhu Hao... Then from now on, who would dare to make trouble for the three religions, the Dibao, Zaoli, etc.?
"Get up, I'm just accompanying him to the invitation party, nothing else is involved!" As the party concerned, Lu Song can see Zhu Hao's mind most clearly, so he wants to emphasize that he and Zhu Hao are not in the same group.

But no matter what he said, Zhu Hao's goal had been achieved.

Troupe leader Long got up from the ground, and he didn't dare to sit with Zhu Hao anymore, with a troubled expression on his face: "Boss, if you don't do this, I'll sell you my theater troupe too. Look... just give me a hundred and eighty taels of silver, and I can go back to take care of myself." year."

Zhu Hao smiled without saying a word.

Yu San said angrily: "Master Long, why are you so obsessed with your obsession? I thought you asked me to invite Xiaodong's house because you really wanted to sell the theater troupe, one hundred and eighty taels...why didn't you go for it? Look at the troupe you just bought. Have you passed it? There are so many people, you can get what you want, a play can support, the total is... In short, it is much cheaper than you."

Originally, Yu San wanted to tell the specific price, but he was a shrewd person, and immediately realized that he could not show his hole cards to others.

Leader Long certainly didn't believe Yu San's words, and said, "I have seen that team, and it is indeed fully staffed, but I guess it would cost two or three hundred taels of silver to buy it..."

Zhu Hao got up: "Master Long, I'm giving you three choices now, either sell your troupe to me for twenty taels... I guess you won't agree; or you can stay in the troupe and continue to sing, and you will have many chances to be on stage in the future , earn no less than now; in the end... find another job, don't stop me."

"Boss, you..."

Of course, troupe leader Long didn't want Zhu Hao to leave, and wanted to discuss with Zhu Hao about the troupe's operation.

Unlike the previous troupe leader Li, he was not in a hurry to sell the theater troupe, because he had few people, and it was difficult for a big family to invite a hall party, just to earn food and drink, and he didn't have the strength to do other things.

Zhu Hao said: "Lu Dianzhan, we're done talking about today's matter, please come and walk... Let's go back now!"

Finally, he used Lu Song again.

Lu Song wanted to refute, but this time he didn't know where to start, Zhu Hao was right.

It's time to go back to the palace. If Zhu Hao doesn't leave, he will urge him. Zhu Hao's matter is over, and if there is no result, it will be over. Trouble...of course it is quite troublesome. If you take advantage of it and return to the palace, if you don't give me some benefits, I will never end with you!

Who told you kid to be richer than me?
