Chapter 38 Wang Ning'an's Dream
"The child has learned a lesson." Changsun Chong said.
"Yes." Changsun Wuji nodded, "Your Majesty said that before the scientific examination, Wang Ning'an will study in Chongwen Hall, and you will meet often. Remember my words, don't offend him, and if you offend him, you must never offend him.
On the day of turning over, don’t raise tigers to cause trouble.”
"Yes, Dad."
The sky was getting dark, the red lanterns were hanging high in Xianliyuan, and it was extremely lively. The talented people who had had enough wine and food came here one after another, looking for the soft and crisp laughter of the woman, and the fragrance and charm outside the house suddenly brightened their eyes.
When the women saw this, they stepped forward to greet them with smiles and lay in the arms of the talented men. The talented men laughed tacitly, and the women also giggled, which was intoxicating.
Wang Cheng stood not far from Xianli Courtyard. When he saw the talented people coming out of Xianli Courtyard in an endless stream, he immediately grabbed a person. This person did not look like a talented person, but more like a wealthy nouveau riche, and said: "
Is this young man going to Xianliyuan?"
"Aren't you talking nonsense? If you don't go there this late at night, what am I doing wandering around on the street? I'm full of food and have nothing to do." The nouveau riche said feeling very unhappy.
Wang Cheng did not get angry, he smiled slightly, took out the guide, and said quickly: "Sir, this is the guide for visiting Xianliyuan published by this book. You can find the girl you like according to the introduction in the guide, or you can choose from
Find different girls in the guide and enjoy the service of different women."
Under Wang Cheng's sweet words and men's understanding eyes, the upstart was a little moved, but he said cautiously: "Are you telling the truth? It's all introduced in this booklet?"
"Of course, sir, think about it, if you knew that every girl has a favorite, wouldn't it make girls like you more? Wouldn't it be particularly useful for you to be surrounded by girls in front of your friends?
face.
Besides, this guide only costs a small amount of money. To you, it’s just a reward. Even if I lie to you, it’s just a reward. What’s more, everything said in the guide is true.
If you are satisfied, you can go to the Liuwei Bookstore next door. I will be the clerk of the Liuwei Bookstore.
The Guide to Xianliyuan is just the first one released. There will be guides to other brothels in the future. If necessary, you can go and have a look. In addition, we will update it regularly. As long as there are new people in Xianliyuan, we will immediately
renew."
The upstart said: "It's quite thoughtful. Okay, I will buy a copy."
"Thank you, sir."
The nouveau riche took away a guidebook and gave Wang Cheng a few pieces of silver. The total amount was about two or three taels, which was worth more than two copper coins.
In the Tang Dynasty, copper coins were the common currency. Silver and gold were rarely used, but this does not mean that they were not circulated. Some people also used them, especially officials and businessmen. Copper coins were too heavy and inconvenient to carry.
Wang Cheng looked at the silver in his hand and said, "Sir, you gave me too much."
"If you have more, I'll reward you." The upstart said nonchalantly, and he couldn't wait to enter Xianliyuan.
Wang Cheng held the silver in his hand, with a smile on his face, and said: "Young master is really right, there are really many good guys at the door of the brothel."
Then he started looking for other people to sell the guide.
"Young Master, I can tell at a glance that you are a talented man. You have spent a lot of money on a girl in Xianliyuan. I have a guide to Xianliyuan here, which details the preferences of the girls in Xianliyuan.
, Young Master, you can do whatever you want."
…
Wang Ning'an looked at the account book given to him by Wang Zhong in the bookstore. This was the detailed information of Cheng Zhuang given to him by Cheng Yaojin.
"Master, where is Wang Cheng?"
Wang Zhong didn't see his son and was a little curious about what he was doing.
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "I asked him to sell books, Uncle Zhong, don't worry. By the way, Uncle Zhong, is there any extra land near Chengzhuang? Does anyone want to sell it?"
Wang Zhongdao: "There is land, but it is not for sale."
For this answer, Wang Ning'an expected it. After flipping through the account book, he said slowly: "Uncle Zhong, I brought you from Yanchang County, so you are one of my own. I will leave Chengzhuang to you.
Ten acres of land is not much, so you should be able to manage it."
"Please rest assured, young master, I will take care of Zhuangzi in an orderly manner."
Wang Ning'an nodded. He had no intention of managing Zhuangzi's affairs at this time and left it to Wang Zhong for the time being.
He picked up the pen and started writing again. After a while, he handed the written content to Wang Zhong and said: "Uncle Zhong, Zhuangzi was given to you by the Cheng family. Those tenants are all veterans of the Cheng family. They may not cooperate with you."
, you should be more patient.
You can buy the things on paper tomorrow and give them to the tenants, especially Quyuli. You must deliver them to them."
Wang Zhong looked troubled and said: "Master, so many things will cost a lot of money. We don't have much money on hand anymore."
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "Don't worry, Wang Zhong will bring you the money."
"Master, I'm back."
Wang Cheng's people hadn't seen it yet, but the voice arrived first.
Wang Ning'an smiled slightly and said: "If you talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there. You really can't talk about people behind their backs. Let's go and have a look."
He walked over first, followed by Wang Zhong.
Wang Cheng walked into the bookstore, saw Wang Ning'an and said: "Master, look, this is the money earned today."
Wang Zhong saw Wang Chengjiang put a baggage on the table and saw the broken silver and copper coins inside. He asked in shock: "You brat, you brought so much money, at least a hundred dollars."
Wang Cheng smiled and said: "Of course I make money. It depends on the young master's idea. It's a pity that I am alone."
If you are too busy, you will make more money.
Master, why don't we invite some people?"
Wang Ning'an thought for a moment and said, "It's really time to invite some people. I'm afraid something will happen to you alone."
He thought for a while and said: "Uncle Zhong, you take eighty guans and buy gifts, and build a private school in the village. When you have time, teach the children of Zhuangzi to read. If you don't have time, hire a teacher."
gentlemen.
In addition, I will hire a tenant with good skills to teach the children to read. Then I will ask some people with good skills in Zhuangzi to come to me. It doesn’t matter if they are missing arms or blind. Tell them that the wages are negotiable. "
"Sir, if this happens, no one will farm the land." Wang Zhong reminded.
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "Uncle Zhong, are you still worried that there will be no one to farm the land?"
"This..." Wang Zhong was silent for a moment, and finally nodded: "Okay, I know what to do."
Wang Cheng asked: "Master, why did you do this? Since we have so much money, we should buy more land."
Wang Ning'an smiled and said: "Young master, I am making a plan. I am not familiar with the place in Chang'an. I can always rely on others, but I have to rely on myself.
Why did I shamelessly ask Uncle Cheng for a Zhuangzi? It’s because the people in Zhuangzi are safe. You, Master, and I have countless ideas in our minds. If we want to turn our ideas into reality, in addition to having people, we also need to have the power.
, and even more so, you have to be rich.”
Wang Cheng scratched his head in confusion.
Wang Zhong understood, he held up his hands and said: "Young Master is a great talent, I will definitely do my best to assist you in achieving great things."
Wang Ning'an smiled and nodded: "Uncle Zhong, don't worry. When the time comes, I will let Wang Cheng establish his own business. He likes to be a general. Next time there is a war, I will let him go to the battlefield. If he likes to be a rich man, I will let him
Become a rich man."
"Thank you for your kindness, young master. Quanzi and I want to serve you all the time." Wang Zhong refused.
Wang Ning'an nodded and said: "It's still early, don't worry. It's getting late today, let's go and rest."
"It's young master, you should go to bed early." After Wang Zhong said that, he took Wang Cheng and left.
In his room, Wang Cheng asked in confusion: "Dad, why did you reject the young master?"
Wang Zhong slapped Wang Cheng on the back of the head and said angrily: "Since your great-grandfather's great-grandfather, our whole family has served the young master. How come you want to start your own business now?"
I tell you, if you dare to have such an idea, I will break your legs immediately."
Wang Cheng shrank his neck, nodded vigorously, and said, "I understand, Dad."
Wang Ning'an lay on the bed, looked at the beams, and said: "Datang, I finally have my own foundation. Don't worry, I won't let you perish in just three hundred years. I want you to live forever and let the world know
