Back to the end of Ming Dynasty to be a warlord

Chapter 25
Ruan Dacheng may not really believe that Yang Chao has a solution, maybe it is the same as when Wang Xiao asked him for advice, but he just said casually that it is best if he has a solution, and the other party will not suffer if he has no solution.

Yang Chao knew this very well, so he came up with a solution as soon as possible, not for others, but for himself.

If I hadn't helped Wang Xiao think of a way at that time, nothing would happen afterwards.

Although Yang Chao didn't seem to get any actual benefits from Wang Xiao's gift, in fact, Yang Chao knew that he had established a certain connection with the Wang family, but it was not strong enough at present, but with future contacts, the benefits would increase. Point it out, and establish a relationship with the Wang family, which also leads to the relationship behind the Wang family. Once the time comes, it will show up.

What Yang Chao got was actually an opportunity with infinite possibilities.

And once there is an opportunity, Yang Chao will not miss it.

Walking home with many worries, Yang Chao was thinking about how to create momentum along the way.

There are many good ways to build momentum, and advertising directly in the media is the best way for later generations.

But what to do in the Ming Dynasty, posting small advertisements along the street, not only can't get the effect, but also lose the identity.

Guess Ruan Dacheng knew about it, so he had to strangle himself to save embarrassment.

Unknowingly, he walked to the house, the door was ajar, and Yang Chao was about to open the door and go in.

"Young Master Yang!"

A sudden call disturbed Yang Chao.

A boy was waiting in the shadows by the door.

"Suji?"

Yang Chao took a look, he happened to recognize the person who came, it was the Mr. Gui he met in Meixiang Tower that day.

"Young Master Yang still recognizes villains, Sansheng is lucky, Sansheng is lucky."

Mr. Gui bowed and bowed, with a flattering expression on his face.

"Is there something wrong with Suji?"

Yang Chao was a little puzzled.

Gui Gong said: "My girl is invited. I want to invite Mr. Yang to the meeting."

To do a meeting is to hold a gathering. There are many such 'meetings' in this year and month. The host invites many respectable people of the same way to gather, recite poems, discuss life and so on.

The history of meeting is very long. During the Eastern Jin Dynasty, Wang Xizhi gathered with people in Lanting, and finally collected poems written by talented scholars and celebrities during the period. Wang Xizhi wrote and wrote the preface at the same time.

The boy is the tortoise from Meixianglou, and the girl he is talking about is naturally Li Xiangjun.

How could Li Xiangjun invite himself for a meeting? Usually, the ones invited are not all famous scholars and talents.

The meetings held by Li Xiangjun are often very famous in Nanjing City, and within the next day, almost the entire literati circle spread: who attended this meeting, what poems were written at the meeting, etc.

It can be said that Li Xiangjun has great brand influence when doing meetings, otherwise there would not be so many young men and women who would be willing to associate with Li Xiangjun.

Those talents hoped to rely on Li Xiangjun's influence to make a name for themselves, and Li Xiangjun further improved his reputation by making friends with these celebrities and talents.

She's just an extremely important go-between, a top courtesan.

It is undeniable that in the era of underdeveloped media, the role played by a social butterfly like Li Xiangjun is simply inestimable.

So Yang Chao naturally wouldn't refuse, and when it came to Li Xiangjun, he already had an idea in his mind.

Immediately said: "Okay, you go back first. I will go home and tell my parents."

Guigong bowed again and left.

Only then did Yang Chao open the door and go home.

At this time, half of the door of the Mingtang was also closed, and Yang Chao could not see what was going on inside, but the family members should be eating at this time.

Yang Chao walked straight to Mingtang.

As soon as I got to the door, I suddenly heard talking inside.

"His father, the son left with an old man today."

said the mother.

"Ok!"

"His father, I heard that the old man was a fourth-rank official, what's his name?"

Mother said again.

"What's young lady's?"

the sister added.

"Ah."

No matter what is said, father is a word of 'um'.

The family members were having dinner, they probably thought that Yang Chao would have a feast if he went out with an old man, so they didn't wait for Yang Chao.

Yang Chao was about to go in when he heard his mother complaining: "Father, drink less, let's see how you drink."

Father said: "What's wrong with my drinking? What's wrong with drinking. I can't drink anymore."

My father used to be a teetotaler, not because he kept himself clean, but because he was reluctant.

Ever since the blacksmith shop was robbed by Xu Zhongxiao, my father started drinking, drinking every day, getting drunk every day.

And he has no energy all day long, as if he has lost his soul. He has lost his blacksmith shop, and he, a blacksmith, has no soul.

The mother cried: "Drinking, you know how to drink. Do you know that the family can't afford to eat? You know how to drink all day long. My son doesn't go to school. You drink all day long. These days, you haven't sent it."

My father shouted: "It's too early. What's the use of making friends with a rich man today and an old man tomorrow. The shop is gone! It's okay if you don't study. If you don't study, you will be a craftsman with me in the future, and you will lose your ancestors." !"

Father even choked up.

Yang Chao didn't have the strength to push the door at this moment. His father had been talking very little these days, drinking a lot, and his face was gloomy every day.

Yang Chao felt uncomfortable, and knew that everything was caused by him, but his parents never said anything wrong with him, and his father was still blaming himself for borrowing wine today.

Yang Chao couldn't go in to face his parents at this time, he sighed inwardly, turned around quietly, and went out again.

Going to Meixiang Building, the meeting at Meixiang Building is famous in Nanjing, and usually no matter how many talented people want to go, they can't go.

The meeting here is held on the first day, and on the second day all the talented scholars in the city know about it, and then they inquire about the poems written by the talented scholars at the meeting. Therefore, the poems at the Meixianglou Poetry Meeting are easy to be sung, which makes the talented scholars think more. Take your poems to Meixianglou.

Over time, a virtuous cycle has been formed. Meixiang Building invites celebrities and talents, which makes Meixiang Building more famous. more famous.

Just now when the servant came to invite him, Yang Chao had already figured it out. If he wanted to expand Ruan Dacheng's influence, he could only hold one meeting.

This kind of meeting is not only the patent of brothels, literati and inkmen will also do meetings, discuss political ideas, exchange reading experience and so on.

My purpose this time is to raise political funds for the Donglin Party, and I might as well hold it for a while. If it can achieve the effect of Meixianglou holding a meeting, it will definitely spread, so it will achieve the purpose of building momentum.

Just hold a political meeting in the name of Ruan Dacheng, and then everyone raises enough political donations, so can anyone deny Ruan Dacheng's role?

But a big difficulty lies in the meeting held in Meixiang Building, because the participants are all famous scholars and talents, and Li Xiangjun is also a famous prostitute in Nanjing, so there is such a high degree of attention.

To put it bluntly, this is the popularity of celebrities and the celebrity effect.

Ruan Dacheng doesn't have that many fans, at least not enough to make people chase after him.Moreover, talented scholars and beautiful ladies are naturally more likable. What is so attractive about a political meeting?

It would be perfect if you could combine the two...

Yang Chao thought all the way, he had already arrived in front of Meixiang Building.

Knock on the door and go in, and the servant leads him all the way to a living room upstairs.

At this time, there was no Li Xiangjun, and another person was waiting for Yang Chao.

"Brother Yang, you are here!"

This person has been waiting very anxiously.

"Brother Wang!"

Yang Chao was also taken aback, the person waiting for him was Wang Xiao.

Wang Xiao had already arrived at Meixianglou today, but he was still there now. It seemed that he had been waiting all day.

"Hey, talent is talent, my little brother is willing to bow down, I can't even pretend!"

Wang Xiao sighed, then asked Yang Chao to sit down, and spoke slowly.

The matter really made Wang Xiao very depressed.

Last time he got two poems by Yang Chao in Nanshilou, both of which were love poems by Tsangyang Gyatso.

Wang Xiao is not stupid, he didn't use these two poems directly to Liu Rushi, nor to Li Xiangjun.

Instead, he copied two copies himself, one for Liu Rushi and one for Li Xiangjun.

I thought that anyone would be moved by me, and it would be a good story to have a drink with me, and I would have the capital to go out and brag about it in the future.

Therefore, when he came to Meixiang Building, he did not look for other girls, put on a high posture, and told the waiter that he had written two poems and dedicated them to the two girls, Li Xiangjun and Liu Rushi. Just waiting in a room.

I thought that when the two girls saw the poem, they should immediately call out "great talent", and then they couldn't wait to invite him in to meet. Unexpectedly, the two girls really invited him in, but Li Xiangjun took his Poetry, the first sentence made him depressed.

Li Xiangjun said at the time: "Really, you copied it from Mr. Yang!"

Liu Rushi just smiled at the side.

The truth was revealed, but Wang Xiao was also a bachelor, so he admitted it openly.

Now Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun asked the young man to invite Yang Chao and let him go out and wait, while Wang Xiao waited for a whole day.

The boy also patiently invited Yang Chao for a whole day, waiting for Yang Chao at the door of Yang's house. It wasn't that the boy was serious, but Wang Xiao secretly gave him ten taels of silver, asking him to definitely invite Yang Chao, if he couldn't. Man, the boy dare not go back.

After listening to what Wang Xiao said, Yang Chao couldn't help laughing, but at the same time, he also admired Liu Rushi and Li Xiangjun. They can immediately associate with the author of the poem according to the style of the poem, which is far better than ordinary comments It is obvious that their literary accomplishments have reached a very high level.

That's why when Yang Chao arrived, Wang Xiao sighed depressingly. This kind of talent is talent, and it can't be pretended. Holding Yang Chao's poems by himself, he was recognized at a glance. It seems that there is no way to pretend to be someone else's ability up.

Wang Xiao sighed while talking to Yang Chao.

Soon, a girl came downstairs to invite Yang Chao to go up for a while, Wang Xiao followed with a stern face, and the girl ignored him.
