If the policy is not good, these businessmen will feel that it is unprofitable, and if the policy is too good, they will think that this is a trap. This kind of mentality of looking forward to the front and back makes the negotiation meeting still in a stalemate, and no businessmen are willing to make the first move and express their requirements.

Liu Yu felt that he had used his own method wrong.

These businessmen felt a sense of fear of officials and felt that they could not communicate. No matter how they said that these businessmen were still full of concerns. Instead of talking like this, it would be better to let Sui Yu summarize their opinions without a name and submit them, and then summarize and count them.

Liu Yu immediately told him about another official sale and said in detail about the rank and position of the idle officials sold by the imperial court this time. Hearing that he could be an official, although he was just an idle official, these businessmen still showed greater interest. After becoming an official, they essentially transcended from the crowd of merchants.

"The highest fifth-rank official... how much money should I pay?" A middle-aged and polite middle-aged businessman couldn't help but tempt him to ask in public. Other businessmen also turned their ears to hear the answer.

Price is the most concerned issue for businessmen.

Liu Yu had no bottom of the psychological price of these merchants. He was afraid that they would not accept it if they said it was high, and that it would make the merchant feel that it would be the case if it was low. Fortunately, he had specially inquired about the money that a child from a noble family would have to spend to donate officials.

"The amount of money to be donated has not yet been determined. According to the principle of the higher price, it cannot be less than 10,000 taels." Liu Yu said.

It is not too simple to sell officials, as if they are selling goods in the market. If it is said that it is to pay donations, the amount of money donated determines who can become an official. Of course, if you cannot become an official, the money will be returned as appropriate.

The merchants looked very calm, making people unable to see the changes in their hearts. They looked at each other and seemed to be using their eyes to seek the meaning of others. Sui Yu, as a representative, asked at the end: "General Liu, I don't know when the donation will begin."

"After the national mourning period expires, the new emperor sacrifices to heaven, it should officially begin on the 21st of this month."

The first negotiation meeting of the Trade Department ended in such a depressing atmosphere. Liu Yu wanted to go back to report the progress to the emperor. He would inevitably be questioned by the officials who opposed the matter in court. He also had to be prepared.

Sui Yu personally sent Liu Yu out, with a little apology on her face: "General Liu, the little woman did not expect that they would not say much, so she could not get more pertinent opinions. She did not help too much, please forgive me."

Liu Yu smiled and said, "Miss Sui is very helpful to contact them. Now it is important to notify them of the news so that they can know the attitude of the court."

After sorting out the news, he submitted it to the emperor. Liu Yu came out of the palace and he was also preparing to take a break and go home for some leisure. In the past few days, he ran between the palace and the various yamen, and was almost exhausted.

When he arrived at the palace gate, he met Sui Yi who entered the palace to report the security of Chang'an City to the new emperor.

Sui Yi was the new prefect of Jingzhao. His whole body was full of energy and his face was full of glory. He probably felt that he could do whatever he wanted with Chai Hulu. When he saw Liu Yu, the smile on his face was like a flower.

"Brother Liu, I haven't gathered together for a long time. I'll treat you to the evening, so you must give me a look." Sui Yi came forward and said when he saw Liu Yu.

Now, for his own safety, Liu Yu has a ticket of followers around him, which is inconvenient to go anywhere, so he rarely goes to places outside his home to avoid inconvenience. However, when an old friend invites him, Liu Yu still has to give him some face, and he also needs to understand the feelings of the people around him about the new emperor's ascension to the throne.

"Where are you please?"

"There is a good place you must have never been to. I will go to the mansion to invite you to ask Li Mi and the others to join us."

Sui Yi pretended to be mysterious, and Liu Yu was used to it. Sui Yi inherited his father's fine traditions in terms of play. Of course, his play styles were not as good as Liu Yu's appetite, which was also what made Sui Yi depressed before. This time he was so confident that Liu Yu thought it would be a good place.

When we got home, three women at home were gathering together and embroidering.

The Han sisters started learning embroidery since childhood. Each needle and thread were very regular, and all flowers, birds, fish and insects were exquisite. Xu Xuanzhu's needlework was very rough. Her hands were more suitable for holding a sword, rather than a tiny embroidery needle.

"I said, Madam, our family doesn't rely on embroidery to support our family. Why do we learn this?" Liu Yu walked to the embroidery rack and looked at Xu Xuan Zhuzhu, who was carefully studying embroidery.

Xu Xuanzhu raised his head and smiled and said, "Husband, how do you see me embroidered?"

Liu Yu looked at it and couldn't tell what it was embroidered, and the Han sisters next to him were also covering their mouths and laughing secretly. Xu Xuanzhu said a little discouraged: "It's always hard to embroider. If a daughter's family doesn't even have basic embroidery work, she will be laughed at when she goes out."

"Who dares to laugh at my wife? I must break his front teeth."

It was a joy to be together. As dusk was about to come, Xu Xuanzhu was about to ask his maid to prepare supper, but Sui Yi came to invite him.

Only Sui Yi came, Li Mi and Hu Xuan were not there, and Liu Yu asked, "Do they don't have time?"

"Yes, but I'll take a seat first. You can't book a seat in that place. If you go late, you'll be taken first."

The dignified Jingzhao Prefecture Priest cannot even be positioned. Liu Yu couldn't imagine what kind of banquet venue it would be so ignorant. Could it be the official office of the official family? But think about it, because the national mourning period is not over, most entertainment venues are still suspended. If they are just restaurants, they will not have such strict requirements for customers.

"Can I take my wife there in that place?" Liu Yu asked.

"Do you want to take care of your sister-in-law?" Sui Yi smiled embarrassedly, "It's better to be good?"

If Sui Yi said "yes", then Liu Yu would not bring it. It should be an ordinary place. If he said "no", it would prove that it should be a secret place like Yin Cave. Taking his wife with him can also prove his innocence.

In fact, Liu Yu intended to take Xu Xuanzhu there, mainly to let Xu Xuanzhu meet his friends. These were his comrades-in-arms who fought side by side in the court, and if they were to invite them at home, they would be criticized. Making military generals with civil servants was originally one of the taboos of the court.

When Liu Yu returned to the inner hall and told Xu Xuanzhu, Xu Xuanzhu was a little reluctant and said, "Husband, it seems that it is not good for me to go out at night."

"It's okay, just meet a friend. If you change into men's clothes, no one knows that you are a daughter. Let's experience the prosperity of the night market in Chang'an City."

Speaking of play, no one is unwilling to do it, but everyone pursues different entertainment methods. Xu Xuanzhu also wants to attend some occasions with Liu Yu to increase his experience. Xu Xuanzhu can go out with Liu Yu, and the Han sisters seem unhappy. The two of them come together and beg to go with them.

Liu Yu didn't want to go out to go to a banquet to bring his family, so he said, "You two stay at home today and will accompany you when you come back tonight."

After comforting carefully, the Han sisters did not insist much. The newlyweds were like the taste, and they were even more looking forward to the slap in the bed.

Originally, Sui Yi had only prepared one more sedan chair, but now Liu Yu wants to bring Xu Xuanzhu with him, which is not enough.

Liu Yu said: "If you are not far away, you can walk."

Sui Yi smiled awkwardly and said, "If this happens, brother Liu and sister-in-law will go on foot."

Liu Yu was very curious about where he went. If it was not a restaurant but an entertainment venue, Liu Yu also wanted to know who dared to commit crimes against the wind. After all, during the national mourning, the government would be sentenced to heavy sentences. Even the top leaders of the highest security department in Chang'an City flocked to it. It seemed that the charm of this place was also extraordinary.

As night fell, lanterns gradually rose on the street. Because it was the national mourning period, the red lanterns had to be covered with a layer of white cloth, so the light would not be too bright, but it was enough to illuminate the streets. After walking a while, I arrived at a relatively secluded street intersection, Sui Yi pointed to a small way next to him: "Here."

Liu Yu looked at it and found that it was a newly built small building, surrounded by some low old buildings, but this one was brand new. There was a plaque hanging on the door, named "YaShe". From this name, I can't guess what kind of business it was doing inside.

Liu Yu first gave instructions to Lian Husheng and Lu Chu'er, and asked them to wait outside, and then followed Sui Yi into the Yashu with Xu Xuanzhu. At the door of the steel knife, a person walked out of the inside, probably the guest who had finished "consumption" and was about to go home. Although the guest was dressed in men's clothes, a gust of fragrant breeze blew by, it seemed to be a daughter. Liu Yu looked at the man's back for a long time, but still couldn't tell the man and woman.

Is it a man or a woman?

Liu Yu had goose bumps all over. There are very few women dressed up as men and went out to visit the night market these days, so it is no wonder he felt suspicious.

Sui Yi kept walking into Yashe. After entering, Liu Yu found that it seemed like a different world. The first thing that caught his nose was a bookish ink. The people standing tall were not tall, either young men or "young men" dressed in men. There was a man and a woman here. No wonder Sui Yi had to be so secretive before, and he said that it was not suitable to bring his wife.

Has Chang'an City come up with new tricks to attract customers due to the national mourning?

Liu Yu looked around carefully and found that this place was very different from ordinary brothels. Although there were two small buildings in the elegant house, you can see from the downstairs that there were a guest table, not even a private room, let alone a room. If it was a brothel, wouldn’t it be that there was something to do with the ladies here in public?

The young men here were discussing calligraphy and painting articles with the "Young men". Liu Yuzheng was curious and saw a guest table beside the railing upstairs. Li Mi and Hu Xuan were waving to the door. There was a woman dressed in a handsome dress next to him. There was also a portrait of calligraphy and painting on the table, which was discussing.

"Isn't this ordinary here?" Sui Yi turned around and said with a smile to Liu Yu, and had already passed over the stairs.

Liu Yu glanced at Xu Xuanzhu, and Xu Xuanzhu turned red. She originally pretended to be a man and thought no one would know, or no one would think of it, but she didn't expect that what Liu Yu brought her was a place for her daughter to pretend to be a young man. In this way, it seemed that she was intentionally asking for a woman to pretend to be a man. (To be continued. Please search for Astronomy, the novel is better and faster!)
