Chapter 1050 Night Drink
Pu Dehuan was very used to such things, so Xinxin went there immediately.

Unexpectedly, what he invited him to was not a tavern or a home, but a brothel.

This brothel used to be under the jurisdiction of the prison camp, serving officials and wealthy households on the island.So the prostitutes are of high quality.They are all the official servants and maidservants who were born in the northern provinces and two classes.

Although the announcement of the release of all the officials and slaves was announced, the work of the Military Control Commission has not yet been done in a very detailed manner, and there is no plan for how to deal with the prostitutes and prostitutes.So the boss in charge pretended to be confused and continued to operate.

In the first half a month, the business of the brothel was very bad—clients either ran away to death, or were caught or hid, but the situation has calmed down recently, not only the rich households and Confucian scholars outside the city continue to enjoy Since the low-level officials such as Liufang Xiaoli resumed their work, the business of prostitution has flourished again.

Pu Dehuan used to go in and out of the prostitute's house to run errands for the old men, and he never dreamed that he could enter the room as a guest-in the past, he would be hit by the old bustard's pipe a few times if he took a second look inside.

In the separate private rooms used to be enjoyed by officials such as shepherds and county supervisors, there are already rich food and wine: 24 kinds of kimchi dishes of various flavors are displayed in a dazzling array.The colorful decorations are really beautiful, half of them are vegetables, and usually half of seaweed.Jeju is a place that relies heavily on the products of the sea.

Huang Yunyu, who was hosting a banquet, was drinking surrounded by two heavily made-up official prostitutes, and there were two accompanying guests sitting in the banquet—Pu Dehuan recognized them, and one was Huang Yunyu's guy who was in charge of contacting the local people, named Cui Xuanze.The other is Zhao Minggui, a buddy of Jin Wanyi's subordinates.

He is not very familiar with Zhao Minggui - the people who belong to the leading rich man on this island, even a mere servant will be arrogant when he walks in the market, let alone a guy with some status like Zhao Minggui.

In the past, he just watched Zhao Minggui go in and out of prostitutes and taverns from a distance, and sometimes he also went in and out of prison camps.Don't talk about ordinary officials, even the Master Shepherd is polite when they meet.

There are also prostitutes serving wine next to each accompanying guest.Such an environment and atmosphere immediately made Pu Dehuan a little cautious.

Seeing Pu Dehuan coming in and looking at a loss, Huang Yunyu hurriedly greeted him:

"Didn't you see that Mr. Park is waiting? Why don't you hurry up and sit next to the master, so that you can take care of him!"

The two official prostitutes who had been waiting for a long time leaned closer immediately, their backs filled with warmth and fragrance.Pu Dehuan blushed immediately.Before his family fell down, he had also participated in banquets as a young master, but he had never participated in banquets where he openly invited prostitutes to accompany wine due to his age and status.The gorgeous clothes and strong fragrance of the prostitute's body made him feel distracted.

"Why are you still standing there in a daze? Why don't you hurry up and pour wine for Mr. Park!"

An official courtesan filled him with wine, with a look of humiliation on his face.

Pu Dehuan knew her: the head of the brothel, Zhao Aiyin - she is also the daughter of a middleman.Like Pu Dehuan, she was relegated to this place as a slave because her family was involved in party struggles, and became an official prostitute because of her good looks. Because she was literate and proficient in poetry, she soon became the taboo of officials.Lower-level officials rarely even have the honor of accompanying wine.As for people like Pu Dehuan, there are very few opportunities to even take a look at them from a distance.

Now, she was pouring the wine for him to apologize for laughing, Pu Dehuan couldn't help feeling elated, and drank it involuntarily.

The other was also an acquaintance: it was Li Wanji.He was originally included in the scope of marriage considerations - he didn't expect that she would become an official prostitute: no wonder she disappeared more than a month ago, so she had already entered a prostitute's house!
Seeing that her serving smile is still very stiff, and she is not quick to serve wine and food, she is indeed new to this job not long ago.

The wine is the best, and there is a good wine in the brothel, which is all brought from the mainland.It is exclusively for dignitaries and rich people to enjoy.Pu Dehuan thought, if he hadn't taken refuge in the "chief" in time, how could he have the enjoyment he has today!
A few people present exchanged glances, but they didn't get to the point, they just took turns persuading them to drink and said some flattering words.Pu De was happy in his heart, and the prostitutes who accompanied him tried their best to please him, and the atmosphere quickly became harmonious.

After three rounds of drinking, Huang Yunyu saw that Pu Dehuan had some alcohol, so he winked at the prostitutes.The prostitutes got up and left one after another, and some servants brought "big dishes" such as roast beef slices, ginseng and pheasant.

Only then did Huang Yunyu speak:
"Master Pu is reused by Master Kun, and the younger ones really admire it." He said, "I heard that Master Pu has another important task this time?"

Although Pu Dehuan is young, he is no stranger to this set.Although he didn't know the saying that there is no such thing as a free lunch, he was very clear about the meaning of this "banquet".As soon as the other party opened his mouth, he knew what he wanted to say.

Immediately he put down his chopsticks, chewed the beef slices and said, "Master Huang already knew about it. Then I won't explain it anymore: there is such a thing."

"This is a huge deal! Brother Pu is indeed young and promising." Cui Xuanze poured him wine with a smile.

Pu Dehuan laughed, he realized that since the other party mentioned his mission this time, it was obviously his idea to use this batch of bows and arrows and materials.

He quickly thought that the business group that Huang Yunyu served would come to Jeju every year to purchase a large number of bows and arrows. Obviously, he had taken a fancy to the bows and arrows and materials currently stored in the official warehouse.There are also people from Master Jin present——Master Jin is a great herdsman, and every year he sells a large amount of cowhide, tendons and horns, all of which are materials for making bows...

Thinking of this, he has completely understood.Pu Dehuan was a little uneasy - this is not a little thing, although he has no idea how many bows and arrows and raw materials there are, but bows and arrows are a large export product of Jeju, and it is by no means a small amount.

Pu Dehuan has no resistance at all to using the power in his hands to benefit himself.This was the custom at the time.But it's hard to tell if the matter is too big.So he suddenly became very cautious, and said vaguely:

"I wonder what Master Huang's plan is?"

"Then I'll tell the truth." Huang Yunyu said, pointing to the accompanying guest: "Master Park must also recognize these two, they are all people closely related to this matter, and they definitely won't talk nonsense."

Pu Dehuan nodded, thinking about it.

Huang Yunyu whispered his request in a low voice.

To put it simply, it is to ask Park Dehuan to erase part of the inventory when counting and reporting the data.

"...It's not difficult." Huang Yunyu said, "The chiefs don't use bows and arrows, and they don't have much interest in bows and arrows. They just want to use waste and sell them for a few dollars. They don't know how to make bows. As long as you move your pen lightly, Isn't it going to happen?"

The manufacture and trade of bows and arrows is a specialized business, not to mention outsiders, even Jeju locals, and people who are not in the industry can't figure it out at all. Pu Dehuan knows that Huang Yunyu's words are not exaggerated.

In terms of the busyness of Chief Feng and the others, they really don't pay much attention to this aspect-they pay more attention to such things as food, wood, and cloth.Huang Yunyu is right, the reason why the chiefs want to count these is just for "waste utilization".

The greedy heart surged up involuntarily.Working for the chiefs, his self-esteem has been greatly satisfied, and his life has certainly improved a lot. He is planning to build a bigger house in the next step, and marry a woman worthy of his status - all of which need money ...

"...After the matter is completed, I will give Master Pu [-]% of the benefits." Huang Yunyu whispered, and stuffed him with a small silk scarf bag.

The silk scarf bag was heavy, about silver.Pu Dehuan felt a fierce struggle in his heart for a while, but he didn't push it away.

"The little one also has something to ask for. As long as Master Pu can write a supernatural life, the little master will definitely be grateful!"

It was Zhao Minggui who spoke. He smiled like a flower, his eyes narrowed into slits, revealing his nakedness from time to time.

Zhao Minggui's master is Jin Wanyi, the biggest rich man on the island, who has a second-rank official title.

The richest owner of the largest bow and arrow shop in Jeju is the Kim family. In addition, the "Naruya Village" of the Kim family monopolizes the raw materials for making bows and arrows on the entire island and even most of North Korea.Of course, Jin Wanyi must fully protect the interests in this regard.

You can't expose Master Jin's dishes to this group of outsiders, and at the same time, you must underreport the quantity in stock.

"...My master's wealth and ability, I think Mr. Park also knows about it." Zhao Minggui said, "I definitely won't make Mr. Park work for nothing." He also presented a gift as he spoke.

After the banquet was over, Huang Yunyu still wanted to keep him, saying he asked Zhao Aiyin to sleep with him, so Pu Dehuan resigned again and again because he was in such a mood.

After Pu Dehuan left, Huang Yunyu asked someone to re-open the banquet, and continued to drink with Cui Xuanze and Zhao Minggui.

It was very late at night, the lanterns outside the brothel were put away, and the gate was closed and locked.Huang Yunyu took care of the bustard, told all irrelevant people to rest, no need to wait on her, and no prostitutes to accompany her to drink.The thick night shrouded the courtyard of the brothel, and the three men were drinking and talking in a low voice by the dim light.

The content of the conversation naturally revolved around what happened just now.It is indeed their original intention to make a lot of money in bows and arrows, but apart from this, these three people have other plans.

The sudden collapse of Li Dynasty's rule on Jeju Island has given the island's dignitaries a great opportunity to embezzle their interests.Bows and arrows are just their first step. These people and their backstage boss Jin Wanyi have even bigger ideas.

There are tens of thousands of official horses and a large number of cattle and sheep in the official horse farm on the island.Now that the government has collapsed, the newly arrived Kunwo has no time to take care of it. Moreover, they can't think of the use of horses, cattle and sheep for the Kunwo who robbed at sea, so now is a good opportunity to embezzle this large amount of wealth .

Even if the imperial court returned to the island one day, they could blame Kun Wo for everything.
