Tang's dining table

After Di Renjie's investigation into Yong Wangxian, Yun Chu discovered that Wen Wen was right.

What kind of person in this world most wants to get rich?

Definitely the poor.

And a once rich man who was once rich but later lost all his money will have a desire for money a thousand times more intense than a poor man.

Because the poor have always been poor and have become accustomed to the life of a poor, they will not feel too uncomfortable if they persist.

A person who was once rich and then became poor has tasted the benefits of being rich. Even if he is now only slightly poorer, he still feels that he is in hell.

And the most terrible thing is people like Yong Wangxian who always feel that they can get up from where they fall.

If this kind of person doesn't take advantage of him, Yun Chu will feel sorry for the suffering he has experienced.

After blowing up the Liushui brand, the punishment Yong Wangxian himself received was the bamboo whip given by Li Hong, and then a warning from the emperor, and nothing else.

However, the officials of Prince Yong's Mansion were in bad luck. From Wang Taifu to Chang Shi, to the left and right horses, and the guests, almost all of them were dismissed by Li Hong and sent to prison. It can be said that Li Hong this time , the people in Prince Yong's Mansion were cleaned up very cleanly.

Originally, every spring was often Yong Wangxian's proudest moment. At this time, he would organize grand spring poetry gatherings, calling on all Tang Dynasty poets except Yunchu to participate in the grand gathering and sing together to praise the Tang Dynasty. prosperous times.

At the poetry meeting held in Prince Yong's Mansion, there were ladies like clouds, scholars like rain, high-ranking officials and dignitaries coming in an endless stream, and prodigal madmen even more able to show off their talents.

Even Yun Chu was stunned when he heard about the scale and grand occasion of the poetry gathering organized by Prince Yong's Mansion.

Not only will the so-called banished immortal be selected at the poetry meeting, but since this title was given to Yunchu by the people of Chang'an, the leader of the poetry meeting has become the "Poetry Immortal", who is a real immortal in heaven, unlike Yun Chu. The banished immortal who was kicked down from the sky by the Heavenly Court.

What makes Yun Chu envious the most is that in addition to selecting poets, they also select oirans in December. The twelve oirans selected will also spend the night with the twelve selected 'poetry fairies'. They can be said to be talented men and beauties. complement each other.

Every year when the poetry meeting opens, it is an unprecedented event, often making the whole of Chang'an go crazy. The twelve poetry immortals will enter the eyes of the emperor under the recommendation of Yong Wangxian, and the twelve oirans will obtain many achievements in the next year. The money is enough to buy a quiet house on both sides of Zhuque Street.

At last year's poetry competition, Wang Bo's poem "Send Du Shaofu's Appointment to Shuzhou" won the first prize in one fell swoop.

Everyone says that this poem is the best farewell poem that appeared in Chang'an after Yun Yuchu's "Farewell Di Da".

It's just that "Bie Di Da" written by Yun Yuchu is high-pitched and passionate, with lofty will, just like a general going out to the fortress, and it is better than the previous one, while "Send Du Shaofu to Shuzhou" written by Wang Zi'an is more emotional and detailed than the former. In terms of love, the former is like a roc flapping its wings, while the latter is like a yellow bird returning to its nest. It can be said that each has its own merits.

That time, the person who slept with Wang Bo was the most beautiful peony courtesan in Chang'an... It is said that this girl was born with a beautiful body like cotton...

Even Yun Chu felt sad when he heard the news. It was not impossible for him to compose a poem like "Sending Du Shaofu to Shuzhou".

It’s gone this year... It has disappointed countless poets who deliberately came to Chang’an to participate in the poetry festival and wanted to make a name for themselves. It has also made the beauties who have tried their best to win one of the twelve oirans in the past year secretly sad.

Yunchu also regretted that without the poetry club, Changan lost many opportunities to make money.

If Yong Wangxian hadn't regarded Yun Chu as a traitor, he would actually have wanted to sponsor such an event.

Li Xian not only has no money this year, he will have no money within ten years that can be waited and seen. Although his fiefdom can get a lot of money every year, the money cannot reach him at all. He still has There is such a big hole for Liushui brand that needs to be filled.

Seeing that the date of the poetry meeting was about to pass, Yong Wangxian was as anxious as a tiger trapped in a cage. He lost his temper anytime, anywhere, smashed things, and punished the eunuchs and palace people.

Seeing a palace servant being dragged out to be whipped again, Helan Minzhi, who had just returned from wandering outside, put down his tea bowl and sighed: "It's not good for Your Highness to be so anxious."

Yong Wangxian said angrily: "The Poetry Festival is the best opportunity for me to recruit talented people from all over the world. Now that I am trapped in a mere amount of money and can't make it, do you think I should be angry?"

He Lanmin said: "If His Highness is in such need of money, come here..."

Yong Wangxian glanced at He Lanmin and said, "Do you want to give alms to me?"

He Lan Minzhi smiled bitterly and said: "It is dedicated to His Highness."

Yong Wangxian shook his head and said: "If it is known that I can't even pay for a poetry meeting, it's okay not to hold such a poetry meeting!"

He Lanminzhi smiled and said: "Since His Highness is unwilling to accept the tribute from his ministers, and is unwilling to rely on his status to plunder it, then the only way to plan for now is to find a clever way."

King Yong said wisely: "How to get it cleverly?"

Helan Minzhi took out a beautifully printed album from his arms and handed it to Yong Wangxian.

Yong Wangxian unfolded it and found that it was actually the Nancheng reconstruction project that Yunchu was implementing. If nothing else, just the color rendering of the Nancheng reconstruction project made Yong Wangxian, who had such a discerning eye, fall in love with it after just one glance.

"The clouds are rising from the water, and the flowers are blooming and the moon is full."

"Live in the light, live in happiness, live in wealth."

"A city, a building, a pair of people."

"Live in prosperity and enjoy the world away from home."

…

After reading the words, King Yong said wisely: "With such a residence and such words, can those country bumpkins understand it?"

He Lanmin said: "How can a house worth hundreds of thousands of dollars be enjoyed by ordinary people? These words are not for them, but for rich nobles."

Yong Wangxian shook the album in his hand and said, "Did Yunchu and the others make this?"

He Lanmin said: "Of course it was done by Wannian County Yamen."

Yong Wangxian took another look at the album in his hand and said, "These are called Lu Zhaolin and Yang Jiong. They also wrote two small poems on it. They seem to be pretty good."

Helan Minzhi saw that Yong Wangxian had misunderstood the meaning, so he pointed at the renderings and said, "Your Highness, do you think a house like this can make money?"

Yong Wangxian sniffed and said, "Sure, there are two large mansions with four entrances here, which are almost comparable to Yong Wang's Mansion. No, they are even worse."

He Lanmin said: "What I mean by cleverness is the Nancheng reconstruction plan. Speaking of which, Yun Chu's economic ability is unmatched by anyone in the world.

He built the common people's foundations into two-story or even three-story small buildings. In this way, a lot of free land was saved. The common people's small buildings were built more crowded and in poorer locations, but they could be used for anything. Those who build mansions and shops are selling all the land. Your Highness, the land in Chang'an is so valuable. You can earn 20% just from the land alone. This is still free.

Not to mention the value of the house after it is completed, if Yunchu doesn't earn more than 20% from the huge amount of material purchases, a certain family will not believe it. "

Yong Wangxian looked at the album in his hand blankly, and after a long time he sighed and said, "I have no money."

He Lan Minzhi smiled and said: "Your Highness has no money, but someone does."

Yong Wangxian shook his head and said: "Father loves me, I can't ask for more than I want."

Helan Minzhi smiled and said, "How is the Queen?"

Yong Wangxian sighed and said: "My mother doesn't love me, she only loves Li Hong."

He Lanmin said: "After all, they are mother and son..."

Yong Wangxian waved his hand feebly and said: "Let me think about it."

He Lan Minzhi immediately said goodbye and left Prince Yong's Mansion, but did not immediately return to the Duke of Zhou's Mansion that he had bought back. Instead, he went to the busiest teahouse on Zhuque Street.

Since Yunchu pioneered the use of fried tea and canned tea, the number of teahouses in Chang'an has increased at a speed visible to the naked eye, and it has become a good place for the scholars in Chang'an who have no money to drink.

The real estate theory that He Lan Minzhi just peddled to Yong Wangxian was just what he heard in the teahouse.

Seeing that Yong Wangxian was interested, Helan Minzhi wanted to hear more so that he could continue to talk to Yong Wangxian.

His goal was not whether Yong Wangxian could make money. He just wanted to use the Nancheng Renovation Project to sever the relationship between Yong Wangxian and the Queen. If they could make their mother and son become enemies, he would have achieved his intended goal.

Helan Minzhi has always believed that Wu Mei was the culprit that caused the death of his family. If Wu Mei could not be made to feel pain, Helan Minzhi thought that his thoughts in this life would not be clear.

Although he had just drank tea, Helan Minzhi still wanted to drink the cans of tea here, not only because the tea here was good, but also the dried fruits that went with the tea were first-class.

While waiting for the water to boil, Helan Minzhi put a piece of yellow rock candy in his mouth, closed his eyes slightly, and listened to the idle businessmen outside the screen who continued to talk about Yunchu's Nancheng reconstruction project.

"Let me tell you, all the county magistrate's family property has been thrown into the bottomless pit of Liushui Brand. If my sister, King Naha, hadn't come back, the Yun family would probably have to live a life of eating chaffy vegetables."

"So what, the house in Nancheng is sold out, and the county magistrate's family property can be restored to its original state in one day. This is truly a natural gift. I will be useful, and I will come back after all the money is spent. This kind of thing is the only thing we can do To look up to.”

"Let me tell you, the history of the County Lord's fortune back then started with the old city reconstruction project. The first thing to be renovated was Jinchangfang. At that time, the County Lord didn't have much money in his hands, so he just relied on what he said. Many Chang'an merchants invested money to help him complete the renovation project. In the end, he didn't spend a penny, but he became the biggest winner of the renovation project."

"You know shit, let me ask you, have those merchants who believed in the county magistrate and invested money in it made any money?"

"Earn it."

"Have the people whose houses were knocked down got new houses?"

"got it."

"Isn't this what it is? Is there anything wrong with the county magistrate taking his share of the money?"

"No, you said that if His Majesty decrees to preside over the Nancheng reconstruction project..."

"Shut up, Your Majesty is someone we can say whatever we want? Besides, Your Majesty is the Lord of the world, how can you do such a thing to compete with the people?"

"I think taking it from the hands of the county magistrate doesn't count as competing with the people for profit, right?"

"You're such a bitch, you just don't want to see the county magistrate being well, right?"

"That's crazy. What do you mean, my talents are destined to be useful, and I will come back after spending all the money? Is it easy for us to make a few pennies? Why does he have as much money as a mountain of gold rolling into his house just by talking?"

After hearing this, He Lan Minzhi took a sip of the yellow rock candy in his mouth and felt that this person was right.
