Prince of Tang Dynasty

Chapter 169 Pass Token

Gao Ming thinks that Lu Zhi is a good person, at least he is a magnanimous person, if he had let other people's pets suck his head twice in a row, even if he couldn't breathe a sigh of relief, at least he would have to add some embarrassment to the other party. OK.

Thinking of this, Gao Ming couldn't help feeling a little emotional.

"Lu Zhi is a good comrade!"

Of course, comrades belong to comrades, and business belongs to business. These are two different things. Gao Ming can still distinguish this point, so when Lu Zhi sent someone to send money in the afternoon, Gao Ming accepted it very rudely.

The only regret is that I don't know if he was frightened. This time Lu Zhi himself didn't come in person, which made Gao Ming's good intention to invite him to drink tea in vain, so Gao Ming could only hand over the copper pass token to him. To Lu Zhi's cronies.

"This is the token Master Lu needs. There are twelve tokens in total. You can take them for me and give them to him. By the way, ask him to record the name and official position of the person who got the tokens and give them to me. I need to record them."

"Yes, His Royal Highness!"

After getting the token, Lu Zhi's cronies went back, while Gao Ming asked people to move all the money into the warehouse. Looking at these large boxes of money, Su Wan'er looked a little dumbfounded.

"Lang Jun, just a dozen or so bronze medals are worth so much?"

Looking at Su Wan'er who looked surprised, Gao Ming immediately put his arms around her slender waist, then shook his head and laughed.

"Wan'er, this is not an ordinary sign. Didn't I build a Datang Royal Club a few days ago? This sign is the token to enter and exit there!"

Hearing Gao Ming's words, Su Wan'er's eyes lit up.

"This concubine also knows about it. Now there are rumors in the palace that there is a small palace on Zhuque Avenue, which is an interesting place? I didn't expect this to be the work of His Royal Highness, it is really amazing!"

Petit Palais?
Hearing this address, Gao Ming was slightly taken aback, but when he saw that Su Wan'er was looking at him adoringly, he immediately laughed.

"Actually, it's nothing. Sir, I have something even better. Do you want to know?"

Speaking of this, Gao Ming immediately raised his eyebrows at Su Wan'er with a smirk on his face. Seeing his malicious appearance, Su Wan'er's face turned red instantly.

"His Royal Highness is necrotic, I don't want to know... oh..."

Before Su Wan'er could finish speaking, Gao Ming directly hugged her up like a princess, and now Su Wan'er was in a hurry.

"His Royal Highness, quickly put down the concubine, it's still broad daylight..."

"It's okay, it's good in broad daylight, I like open and bright ones, hahahaha!"

After finishing speaking, Gao Ming laughed and carried Su Wan'er into the bedroom, and then closed the door of the bedroom with a "bang".

The business was completed, Gao Ming was very happy, and Lu Zhi who received the token was even happier. At this time, he was telling several young Lu officials about his "Adventures in the East Palace".

"At that time, as soon as the old man entered the gate of the East Palace, he saw a big colorful tiger. The tiger was nine feet long, with eyes like copper bells. After seeing the old man, it opened its bloody mouth and rushed towards it."

When Lu Zhi said this, the eyes of several young Lu officials around him widened, and then they gasped.

"Hiss... I didn't expect the East Palace to be so dangerous."

"The lower officials have also heard that His Highness the Crown Prince raises ferocious beasts, but he didn't know that it was so frightening."

"That's right, Master Shangshu, and then?"

Seeing everyone's nervousness, Lu Zhi suddenly smiled, and then stroked his beard confidently.

"The situation was quite dangerous at that time, but how could the old man be afraid? Seeing the big tiger rushing towards him, the old man immediately yelled——How can you be a beast? As soon as the old man said this, the big tiger immediately fell to the ground It didn't dare to move anymore, and waited until the crown prince came down, then it ran away in a desperate manner!"

Hearing Lu Zhi's words, several officials of the Lu family immediately showed reverence on their faces.

"According to my guess, this big tiger must have been intimidated by Lord Shangshu's awe-inspiring righteousness, so he didn't dare to move."

"Master Shangshu is really a role model for my generation of scholars!"

"Extremely great!"

For a moment, the flattery was rolling like a tide, making Lu Zhi even blushed a little, and he smiled, then waved his hands, and heaved a long sigh.

"Hey, this old minister did it out of necessity. Although His Highness the Crown Prince didn't say anything, after all, he scared the tiger of His Highness the Crown Prince. It's not easy for me to go to the East Palace in the future. This is what I brought back from the East Palace. "

After speaking, Lu Zhi took out the twelve copper tokens and put them on the table, then nodded towards the Lu officials in front of him.

"This is the galloping horse card. Those who hold this token can enter the Datang Royal Club within a year, and can get a [-]% discount on the purchase of imperial wine and imperial tea, but remember not to lend or sell it to others. Others, otherwise the prince will..."

Lu Zhi didn't say the rest, but all the officials of the Lu family understood. They all shook their heads like a rattle, swore that they would never let Lu Zhi down, and said that they would definitely be down-to-earth in the future. He is an official and strives for the glory of the Lu family all his life.

After getting the bronze medal and showing their loyalty, these young officials of the Lu clan bid farewell and left Lu Zhi's mansion.

Lu Zhi didn't know that as soon as these guys walked out of the gate of his house, the reverence on their faces disappeared immediately, and turned into gossip.

"Hey, have you heard? It is said that Master Shangshu was quite embarrassed when he returned home, and his official robes were covered in dirt."

"Really? What's going on here?"

"Then there's no need to ask? It's obvious that he was intimidated by the tiger of His Royal Highness, hehe..."

It has to be said that the officials are all acting school, Lu Zhi would never have imagined that these officials of the Lu family who had looked up to him before were all acting.

Of course, these are not important anymore. For these young officials of the Lu family, after getting the pass token they want, they are in a happy mood, just as high-spirited as when they first entered the officialdom.

"It turns out that the galloping horse card looks like this, and it cost me a total of seven hundred guan!"

"You only spent [-], I spent [-], well, don't talk about it, let's go to the Tang Royal Club to have a look, I don't know what this little palace is like!"

"Wait, I'll go back and take a shower and change clothes, hehe!"

Several officials of the Lu family obtained the pass token by "going through the back door". A few passing tokens brought in nearly [-] coins again.

With the precedent of Lu and Wang's family, the other families can't sit still anymore. Although it is only a pass token, after all, everyone is the same person with five surnames and seven hopefuls. The treatment that Lu and Wang's family can enjoy is Wouldn't it be embarrassing if they couldn't enjoy it?
Gao Ming's access tokens are not cheap, but for aristocratic families, face is much more precious than money, so soon, people from the Li family and Cui family also came, and in the end, even the people from the Zheng family also took Came to the door with money.

Although Zheng Yunyin of the Zheng family had conflicts with Gao Ming before, Gao Ming would not be bothered by such a trivial matter. If he can't get along with Qian at this time, he will be out of his head.

Therefore, Gao Ming specially made up a round number and sold to the Zheng family forty royal club access tokens, and promised that they would only charge half of the original price for the replacement if they lost it, which left the Zheng family stunned.

In Gao Ming's view, this should be moved, and must be moved, there is absolutely no second possibility!
Gao Ming's pass tokens ushered in the peak period of sales. In less than two days, all the remaining copper tokens in Gao Ming's hands were sold out, and the money he earned added up to more than 20 coins. With such a high profit, Gao Ming really wanted to make several hundred more.

Of course, Gao Ming was just thinking about this matter, and didn't really do it. After all, the Royal Club is so big that it can't accommodate too many people.

The most important thing is that due to the limitations of technology and confidentiality, the speed of roasting tea and distilled wine is very slow. It is very difficult to supply the hundreds of people in the Royal Club. If we open another branch, we will definitely not be able to supply it. Gao Ming I don't want to smash the signboard I have built with great difficulty.

Although the copper tokens could no longer be sold, Gao Ming was not worried because he had other ways to make money.

For example, selling wooden pass tokens.

In fact, when Gao Ming heard the nickname "Little Palace" from Su Wan'er, he knew that the style of the clubhouse had almost improved, and now that all the silver and copper tokens had been released, it was about time. Cast wooden tokens.

And Gao Ming had already conceived it early on, the gold token is lifelong, the silver token is ten years, the copper token is one year, and the wooden token is only one day, which is equivalent to a consumable, and it is precisely this consumable , is the trump card for Gao Ming to make money!

Of course, even if it’s just a wooden pass token with a limit of only one day, Gao Ming will not send it out indiscriminately, otherwise it will be too ugly and easy to attract criticism, so Gao Ming chose a more tactful method - auction!
So, when everyone came to the entrance of the Datang Royal Club early that day, they saw such an announcement posted on the entrance.

"His Royal Highness is willing to have fun with the people, so ten wooden pass tokens that are valid for one day are issued every day for auction. The reserve price of each token is only one penny. Anyone who wants to enter can participate in the bidding, and the highest bidder wins. Remarks: Those who bid indiscriminately will be punished thirty times for despising the prince!"

As soon as this announcement came out, the entrance of the Royal Club suddenly became lively.

Seeing the people discussing a lot, He Gan Chengji suddenly smiled, and then asked someone to bring out the tray containing ten pass tokens.

"His Royal Highness has ordered that the Token of the Great Tang Royal Club, valid for one day, will now be auctioned. Whether you are a high-ranking official or a peddler, as long as you are a citizen of my Great Tang, as long as you have a penny, you can bid!"

As soon as Hegan Chengji said these words, the people at the gate of the royal club suddenly cheered.

"You can get in with a penny?"

"His Royal Highness is so kind!"

"His Royal Highness is wise!"

Amidst everyone's cheers, Hegan Chengji suddenly laughed, and then waved his hand.

"The first token valid for one day at the Royal Club of the Tang Dynasty has a base price of one penny, so just bid if you want it!"
