Retrograde for thousands of years

Chapter 62 Race against time

The main sources of income of the Imperial Tea House are divided into two parts: accommodation, tea and cake fees. In the final analysis, they are doing business with regular customers. Therefore, the tea house often invites good storytellers or opera troupes to perform to bring traffic.

There is no saying in this industry that it will last three years without opening and three years after opening. It is difficult to make money quickly by seeking new changes.

"what business?"

Shopkeeper Sun looked at Zhou Huan with some confusion.

"A business that can make Ruyi Building very popular and make you a lot of money."

Zhou Huan patted Shopkeeper Sun on the shoulder and said.

"Brother, if you are short of money, I still have a lot of money here, but good brothers should not do business, as this will easily hurt feelings."

Shopkeeper Sun thought for a moment and shook his head. He had experienced a lot when opening a teahouse and met a lot of scammers. Many of them did not want to deceive people at first, but really thought they were a good person. business, then put money into it, and ended up going bankrupt.

"Shopkeeper Sun, listen to me first. Even if there is a problem with this business, you will only lose 100 taels of silver, but the profit will be great."

Zhou Huan expressed his thoughts, and his idea was very simple, which was to tell stories first, and then start a newspaper after becoming famous. After running a newspaper, he would naturally be able to publish a newspaper to look for Tang Yunniang or Chen Yunying.

In this era, thanks to the blessings of the military people, logistics was very developed and the business environment was very prosperous, but in terms of entertainment culture it was very poor. Scholars had the right to speak, and their classical Chinese texts separated the communication between upper and lower levels, and the entertainment culture of ordinary people Very rarely, except for a few government newspapers such as Di Bao, there is no cultural newspaper on the market that can be targeted at the common people.

This left Zhou Huan, who had no clues about finding Tang Yunniang, really speechless, so he decided to start a newspaper to publish a missing person notice, or ask reporters from various places to help find Tang Yunniang.

Or first become famous at a minimum. After becoming famous, it will be easier to find Tang Yunniang.

Or at least make some money first so as not to end up living on the street.

"Brother Wang, your idea is very good, but can this storytelling be famous?"

Shopkeeper Sun flipped through the manuscript written by Zhou Huan. Although the content in it was very exciting, he was a little unsure.

"Don't rush this matter now. I want to ask Shopkeeper Sun to do me a favor and come with me to Baiyun Temple to meet the real person stationed in the Wudang Sect."

Half an hour later, Zhou Huan and Shopkeeper Sun arrived at the Zhenwu Palace, the headquarters of the Wudang Sect in the capital.Although the nine sects sound like many, they are actually mainly disputes between Buddhism and Taoism. As the leader of Taoism, the Wudang sect built the Zhenwu Palace very magnificently.

"Isn't this Shopkeeper Sun? Why do you come to Zhenwu Palace to offer incense today?"

A smiling figure came from not far away. This was a sworn enemy of Shopkeeper Sun, the owner of a famous teahouse in the capital. He had tricked him ten years ago, and then used the money to develop the teahouse.

"We're here to meet Master Qingjing of Zhenwu Palace. Didn't you know he is here?"

Zhou Huan heard shopkeeper Sun talk about this person. Zhou Huan smiled and said to Zhike.

"Sir, Master Qingjing is doing his homework and will not see any visitors for the time being."

Zhike replied very kindly, and then Zhou Huan handed over a token.

"This is a token left by Master Jinfeng to my family. He said that he could get help from the Wudang Clan with it."

Zhou Huan put the token into Zhike's hand, and Zhike's attitude suddenly became respectful.

When Chen Yunying left, he gave Zhou Huan a token and a letter of recommendation, asking him to find Master Jin Feng of the Wudang Sect. Afterwards, Zhou Huan inquired and found out that Master Jin Feng was the uncle of the leader of the Wudang Sect. The status in the army is very high, and this token is Taoist Master Jinfeng's token, which gives Zhou Huan room to operate. "What do you call this little brother? My surname is Li, the eighteenth character is Li, and I am the boss of Tianxiang Tower."

The fat shopkeeper also became enthusiastic when he saw what Zhou Huan had brought out and his attitude of knowing his customers.

Jianghu sects often need help from secular figures, and secular figures also need help from Jianghu sects when they encounter problems. But the exchange of favors sometimes takes too long, or what should I do if someone wants to leave favors to their children?
So each sect has specially forged a kind of token, which can only be used by high-level officials. Those who get it can use it to go to various sects for help. This kind of token is difficult to obtain, and Boss Li's level is not accessible at all.

"I'm here to negotiate a deal with Master Qingjing. Boss Sun is my partner, and I will need Boss Li's support when the time comes."

Zhou Huan laughed, and at the same time found that shopkeeper Sun took half a step back and stood behind Zhou Huan. From a psychological point of view, this meant that he had put himself in the position of subordinate.

Think about it, Boss Sun has met a lot of Jianghu people, but his status cannot reach that of a super sect like the Wudang Sect. If he knew that Zhou Huan was related to the Wudang Sect, then he would definitely agree to Zhou Huan's request immediately. Huan's request.

"Shop Manager Sun, the business we are going to do cannot be sustained by two people. We must have someone to protect and help. I have an old relationship with the Wudang Clan. Do you have any objection to asking them to take a share in the middle?"

The brothers have settled the score, and Zhou Huan is now alone in the imperial capital. Even if shopkeeper Sun is reliable, his relatives and friends may not be reliable. When the time comes to secretly arrange an accident for Zhou Huan, who can Zhou Huan talk to?

What's more, this business really needs the support of different sects.

Soon Zhike led Zhou Huan into the Zhenwu Palace. Zhou Huan browsed the structure of the Taoist temple. Although it was clean, many places were a bit shabby. This made Zhou Huan let out a long sigh of relief. The Wudang Clan is what Zhou Huan wants.

Among the nine sects, Wudang Shaolin has the best reputation and the strictest discipline on its disciples. Unlike other sects, which find ways to make money, it even develops to the point of unscrupulousness.

On the other side, Taoist Taoist Qingjing, the master of Baiyun Temple, looked at the token in his hand and frowned.

This is a token left behind by Master Jinfeng when he traveled around the world. The Wudang Clan’s unique symbol on it cannot be faked. Anyone in the world who can produce such a token can go to the Wudang Clan for help everywhere, and this time What do people want to do?
The capital is different from other places. There are many dignitaries and dignitaries here. If you are not careful, there will be a big disturbance. I just hope that those who hold the token will not let the Wudang faction rob the dharma field.

"Master, this is the information about those two people."

While the two were drinking tea in the company of Zhike, the disciples inquired about Zhou Huan and Shopkeeper Sun from local neighbors, which made Taoist Qingjing heave a sigh of relief.

This is definitely a trick. It must be, will it cost 500 taels of silver or 1000 taels of silver?
Touching his beard, Taoist Qingjing sighed slightly.

After a quarter of an hour.

If you think that with a token of a sect, you can get other people in the sect to help selflessly, then you can go to other leaders for help under the banner of a certain leader in the real world and see what the effect will be?
Especially such a trivial trouble and having to pay for it!

"In the storytelling business, do you need the printing bureau to help with printing? Do you need to invest 3000 taels of silver from the beginning?"

When Master Qingjing heard Zhou Huan's request, he kept shaking his head.

"This kind of thing should be discussed later, Mr. Wang."

"This is the token left by Jinfeng Zhenren to my family. It is of no use to me now. I am willing to mortgage it to Zhenren. I only hope that Zhenren will give me a chance.

For this matter, I will give Wudang Sect 5000% of the shares, and at the same time ensure that Xuanwu Temple can earn more than [-] taels of silver within a month. I can sign a document for this, how about it? "

Zhou Huan put the token in his hand in front of Master Qingjing and said with a smile.

This token was placed outside and could be exchanged for tens of thousands of taels of silver. But at this moment, what Zhou Huan needed was not money, but a race against time.

He wants to find Tang Yunniang!
