After Gu Heng figured it out, he took a nap. The next day, after breakfast, he called Xiaocui and other people in charge of Meilou to find out the current situation of Meilou and Gu Hengbo's characteristics.

It turned out that after Gu Hengbo came from a famous family, Mr. Liu Fang repeatedly delayed Gu Hengbo's marriage to him. He was depressed for a time. When he was walking, he accidentally fell and hit his head on the rockery. As a result,

coma.

Meilou, also known as "Mild Tower", is Gu Hengbo's property. Gu Hengbo usually takes care of it. The day after Gu Hengbo fell into coma, people in Meilou suspended the business of Meilou and claimed that Gu Hengbo was ill and needed to rest.

, wait until it is ready and then open for business.

Why did Meilou’s business suspend whenever Gu Hengbo himself had a problem?

It turns out that it is not only because Gu Hengbo himself is taking care of the eyebrow tower, but also because of Gu Hengbo's unique way of taking care of the eyebrow tower.

Combining the relevant information about Gu Hengbo that he had obtained before traveling through time, Gu Heng looked at himself in front of the mirror, who had been carefully dressed, and carefully analyzed Gu Hengbo's characteristics.

Gu Hengbo, also known as Mei, whose courtesy name is Meisheng and whose nickname is Hengbo. The most amazing thing about Gu Hengbo’s beauty should be his eyebrows.

These eyes are so full of autumn fire that they seem to burst into flames if they shake. When men see these eyes, their souls should be hooked. They wish they could turn into dust and sand or something and jump in and drown.

Those soft waves are so enjoyable!

What about the Emei in these eyes? It is far from enough to describe it with words such as "like distant mountains holding daisy". Others say the eyes speak for themselves, but Gu Hengbo did more than that. Those two willow-leaf eyes danced up and down.

It’s enough to express your feelings!

As his name suggests, Gu Hengbo had a charming personality and outstanding business ability. Therefore, with his outstanding talent and appearance, he became one of the "Eight Beauties of Qinhuai" in the late Ming and early Qing dynasties.

In terms of appearance, she is petite, exquisite and charming; in terms of folk art, she is "the best in southern opera"; in terms of painting, her "Orchid Picture" is still in the collection of the Palace Museum; in terms of talent, she is good at business and founded the Qinhuai Prostitute House.

Meilou", she was instantly famous; in terms of vision, she was one of a million, married into a noble family, and even became the only brothel woman in history to be awarded the title of "Emperor".

Thinking of this, Gu Heng quickly searched the memories in Gu Hengbo's mind. Fortunately, the memories of these talents are still there, which can be regarded as God's care for Gu Heng.

Gu Hengbo also lived a sober and transparent life, and lived a free and unrestrained life. She should be regarded as a "strong woman" who came out of Qin Lou Chu Hall.

The biggest difference between Gu Hengbo and other famous Qinhuai prostitutes is that she knows that compared to the affection of a man, the money in her pocket is more reliable. So since she entered the industry, she has been accumulating wealth while learning how to manage it.

It can be said that she is a rare sober one among many sisters. She has the spirit of a "modern girl", is dedicated to her career, and is determined not to let men become a stumbling block in her progress.

This sober brothel woman quickly saved up her first bucket of entrepreneurial funds. So she struck while the iron was hot and was promoted from a "grassroots famous prostitute" to "Bussy Gu Mama" at a young age, and established her own independent studio -

—Mei Lou.

The customers faced by Meilou are either rich or noble, and most of them are celebrities. In order to stand out among the many brothels, Gu Hengbo put a lot of effort into it.

First of all, she made great use of her personal brand effect. As far as she is concerned, she is proficient in literature and history, good at painting, proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting, and can sing a good song. It is no exaggeration to say that

, she herself is a walking sign.

On the basis of her strong personal charm, she also put a lot of effort into the hardware equipment of the Meilou. The Meilou is not only exquisite in architecture, but also has rich and elegant interior furnishings, which can not only highlight the distinguished status of the guests, but also satisfy these requirements.

The dignitaries had a tendency to be arty. For a time, literati and scholars flocked to it.

In addition, Gu Hengbo is good at sociability, and half of the famous prostitutes on the Qinhuai River are her good sisters of Gu Hengbo, such as Li Wanjun, Bian Yujing, Li Xiangzhen, Zheng Tuoniang, etc. With the blessing of these famous prostitutes, Gu Hengbo's

The "Mei Tower" flourished and soon became famous throughout Jinling City.

If a brothel wants to be unique, in addition to these, it also needs to have a unique business activity. The activity of Meilou is the "Literary Salon". It turns out that salons have existed as early as ancient China.

Among Gu Hengbo's many talents, "ink orchid" is a very high level of attainment. For a time, it attracted many literati. Gu Hengbo was also very discerning. She made great use of this advantage of hers to draw friends.

Created the first "salon".

Gu Hengbo did what he said, and quickly gathered sisters who were as good at painting as himself, including Fan Jue, Li Xiang, Wang Dan and others, and formed the "Orchid Club", making the style of "Meilou" very elegant.

.

At that time, it was the chaotic period of the late Ming Dynasty. Wei Zhongxian controlled the government and persecuted the Donglin Party members wantonly. The frustrated literati were naturally attracted by the elegant reputation of the "Orchid Society". Over time, this place became a place for them to talk.

The endless fame of "Mei Lou" also made Gu Hengbo a lot of money. But this only increased Gu Hengbo's confidence in choosing men. For Gu Hengbo, it was not enough.

Moreover, Gu Hengbo's charm alone is not enough to support Meilou. Meilou itself must have its own characteristics to attract customers. Especially when Gu Hengbo cannot welcome customers for some reason, the only method is to suspend business.

In addition, Meilou may also be used as a venue to attract talents from all walks of life. By then, talents in economics, government, military, technological innovation, etc. may be discovered and recruited.

You must know that in the late Ming Dynasty, talents from all walks of life emerged in large numbers, but it was a pity that there was no suitable platform for them to give full play to their talents.

So what to do?

If you have it, you can set up a guestbook in Meilou. It is similar to modern online chat. Only pen names are used instead of real names. The literati and poets who come to Meilou and like to talk about everything will probably like it very much.

Thinking of this, Gu Heng once again called Xiaocui and the core staff of Meilou to come to the room and told them how to set up the guestbook.

Gu Hengxian explained the reason why he wanted to create a guest book. Most of the guests in Meilou were scholars. He asked them to write only their pen names and what they wanted to write in the guest book. Others could browse through it and write whatever they were interested in.

Leave messages to communicate under the content, they will like this sense of strangeness and excitement!

Everyone agreed with this and asked Gu Heng to give instructions on how to do it.

Gu Heng thought that there were many plagues and food crises during the Chongzhen period, so when explaining how to classify the guest book, he should pay attention to that in addition to poetry, couplets, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, which most people are interested in, there should also be medical skills and agriculture.

In medicine, we must focus on plague prevention and control, and in agriculture, we must pay attention to productive crops and planting methods in different climates!

"Sister Mei, we all understand that you are engaged in poetry, couplets, music, chess, calligraphy and painting, as well as medical skills. After all, today's scholars are interested in these things, so why do you still want to do planting? I don't think any scholar would study these.

Crops." After giving the order, Haitang raised a question.

"Just because you don't see it now doesn't mean it doesn't have potential value. Don't ask so many questions yet, just do as you please." Gu Heng replied.

Although Haitang didn't understand, she thought that Gu Hengbo always had ideas and indeed had business ability, so she didn't say more.

There are also aspects of military affairs and current affairs, which we should also focus on to see if there are any military experts and current affairs experts!

In terms of technological innovation, we should pay attention to innovative talents in all aspects, especially in the field of firearms.

The other aspect is the economic aspect, which is the top priority! If the previous aspects are to be implemented and run normally, they cannot be separated from money, so we should pay attention to those who have good ideas and can make money in this area, or those who are very business-savvy.

people!

You can cooperate with them, help them realize their good ideas, and make money in multiple ways, so you don’t have to worry about running out of money!

There is also a post to seek some various types of craftsmen, focusing on outstanding craftsmen in different industries.

Gu Heng ordered this because he thought that there was no concept of mass production in ancient times, but if he could make good use of some craftsmen, he could mass produce some simple things, thus achieving the effect of high quality and low price, and making a lot of money through dumping!

Of course, Gu Heng did not tell the people around him the real purpose of doing these things.
Chapter completed!
