Good son-in-law of the Ming Dynasty

Anyway, you Jinyiwei are all cowards, asking for money, asking the father-in-law of Dongchang to go, what are you doing to us little people?

It is not always true that they are ordinary people.To be able to raise such a large hall in a place like the capital where the head is raised and the head is an official, and the business is a business that comes in very fast, no one has a few adults standing behind him.

If you really make a fuss, you can find someone who has weight to speak for you.

Now, the whole Beijing city knows what kind of virtue Jinyiwei is, and no one takes this once majestic spy agency seriously.

Because of this, and after Hu Shun became the deputy Qianhu, his prestige was not established, and the people under him did not buy his account.When something happens, I don't work hard.

Because, after working for a month, only a few dozen taels of silver were collected in total.

However, 4 taels of money was required to be handed over to the Commanding Department of the capital, and this money had to be given.

Hu Shun also begged his father to sue his grandma, and the higher-ups took into account that he had only been in office for less than a month, so it was only reduced to [-].In order to keep his official position, he gritted his teeth and paid for it out of his own pocket, compensating all the wealth he had accumulated over the years.

Last month was finally dealt with, but what about next month?

It was not easy to get promoted to deputy thousand households, and others were promoted for a small sum of money, but Hu Shun was aggrieved by being an official, so he bankrupted himself.

Hu Shun scratched his head and couldn't think of any means to collect the fee signed by the merchant. He sat in a sad city, and Hu Jinxue was anxious when he saw it. "Flower Building".

He was planning to make a move here, but someone on the other side was afraid of causing trouble and rushed to report to Hu Shun.

Hu Shun also knew how powerful this was, so he hurried over to stop it, and then acted out the scene just now.

Hu Shun: "That's probably how things are, Mr. Su, look... how to deal with this matter?"

Su Mu rubbed his chin, and asked: "Master Hu, Xiaosheng just saw that the thugs in "Wanhualou" are very arrogant, do they have a background, or is his building owned by a minister in the court?"

Hu Shun smiled wryly: "Wanhualou has no background. The boss is just an ordinary rich man, and he is cautious in doing things."

"Then what are you afraid of?" Su Mu was puzzled.

Hu Shun: "Wanhualou has no background, but it can't help him do a good job in business. It is one of the two largest brothels in Tianshui Hutong, and the monthly money paid is ranked in the top two among more than 100 brothels. The signboard of Tianshui Hutong, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the leader of the line.”

"The other one is "Luoyi Pavilion"?" Su Mu asked thoughtfully.

Hu Shun praised: "It's rare that you understand, Ziqiao."

As soon as the words finished, Hu Ying at the door turned her head and looked at Su Mu warily.

"Master Hu, go on."

Hu Shun: "Therefore, these two brothels are familiar with people from Dongchang and Jinyiwei. Although Guo Shu'er was a thug in Wanhualou, he is the boss's nephew and also holds some shares. The owner of Wanhualou The boss is old and has no descendants. If there are no accidents, this person will inherit this building in the future. Although this person looks rough, he is cunning, knows many people, and is powerful. Now that Dongchang has taken over our Jinyi relatives At the beginning of the army, we blindly surrendered to the eunuchs and refused to sell our account."

Hu Jinxue yelled angrily: "This Guo thief is really hateful, uncle, you shouldn't have stopped me just now."

Hu Shun said with a bitter face: "It's okay if you beat him when you enter school. It's really embarrassing. He simply threw himself under the gate of Dongchang and never paid any attention to us again. He is the leader of the line. He doesn't pay. Others The restaurant and the building will follow suit. Including Dongchang, I am a small deputy, and it is not easy for the people of Dongchang to crush me to death."

Hu Jinxue: "They Dongchang are human beings, but we Jinyiwei are not human?"

Hu Shun: "The problem is that Jinyiwei is doing miserably now, and they really fought against Dongchang. In the end, it was not me, Hu Shun, who was unlucky because of the abusive temperament of the above. Besides, Wanhualou's business has not been very good recently, and there is no money. It's understandable."

Hu Jinxue was dissatisfied: "Uncle is thinking about that surnamed Guo. I see that Wanhualou is full of people going in and out during the day. It doesn't look like business is not good."

Hu Shun snorted: "You know what. If you don't believe me, go to their door and watch what kind of guests come in and out. They are just some ordinary guests, at least they are top-notch scholars, and they sleep for a few nights at most. Two silvers..." He looked at his daughter at the door, probably feeling that the words were a bit vulgar, and said: "The ones who are really willing to pay are not those dignitaries and dignitaries, Lin Mingshi. As long as there is a talented woman in your building, These people ran to join in the crowd like crazy. It costs a few dozen taels to play a tea circle. Drink a glass of wine and listen to a song, and it costs a few hundred taels to go out. Brothels rely on this to make money."

Su Mu was also fascinated by what he heard, and he suddenly woke up: Yes, Hu Shun's words are not rough, they really make sense.As he said, it was just a night of prostitution, and it was only a few dollars.But a high-end brothel like Wanhualou doesn't deal in flesh and blood business at all.What people sell is culture and taste.To put it bluntly, women are like that when they are naked, and they are not set with diamonds, so they are not worth anything.But culture is priceless.To put it bluntly, high-end brothels in this era are not brothels, but high-end clubs.Recently, Yunqing's title of oiran was taken away by Yanniang, and she has no business, even the entire Wanhualou.

Thinking of this, Su Mu interjected and asked: "But in the matter of Yanniang and Yunqing competing for the crown jewel, the business plummeted because Wanhualou was defeated?"

Hu Shun was stunned: "Zi Qiao, how do you know?"

Hu Ying at the door also snorted angrily, and tore a chrysanthemum into pieces with force.

Su Mu was taken aback by Hu Ying, and hurriedly said: "Don't get me wrong, don't get me wrong, I'm also hearing the story, so I'll ask you."

This Miss Hu is very loyal to her, but because of practical reasons, the two have not been able to get together until today.However, Su Mu is clear about her temperament. When she is gentle, she looks weak and shy. It really irritates her, and she dares to fight you with a knife.

Hearing what Su Mu said, Hu Ying's complexion looked better.

Hu Shun: "Zi Qiao, this matter is very difficult. If I don't collect the rules money this month, I will have to go diving. We all know your talent, please find a way to help me overcome this difficulty." .”

Su Mu thought for a while: "Actually, this matter is also very simple. As you said just now, Wanhualou and Luoyiguan are the leaders of Fengyuehang in Tianshui Hutong. Just persuade them to pay the fee, and other families will see it." , even if these two families have paid, there is no need to insist on nothing."

"It's easy for you to say, but the problem is that I can't handle these two at all!" Hu Shun sighed.
