Fan Tower is actually a huge building complex, with wide verandas connecting the courtyard gates in front of the four buildings. The tall and elegant square walls also separate the heaven and earth of Fan Tower from the mundane world of Tokyo City.
It was common for officials, literati, and poets in the Song Dynasty to have sex with prostitutes. Not only was it allowed by the policy, but it was also considered a refined thing. As long as officials did not engage in prostitution, they would not be condemned. Although Fanlou was just a restaurant, its prosperity
The main thing he relies on is not the food, but the dancers who accompany him to the banquet, sing and dance.
In the Song Dynasty, it was not as convenient as it was in later generations to publish a collection of poems. The literati wrote the poems and filled in the lyrics, and they also relied on these geishas to spread the poems and become famous. The two parties were mutually beneficial, and it became a tacit understanding to kill two birds with one stone.
But it would be a mistake to say that the food is vulgar. The buildings are full of people walking back and forth, bringing all kinds of delicacies to the private seats. There is even a food supply here, such as crispy roast duck and Beijing sauce.
There are all kinds of signature delicacies such as shredded pork. As for the fruits from the north and the south, there are countless candied and dried fruits. The richness of dairy products even amazed Ye An.
Sitting down in the booth called Sifang Fengyu, Xiaosi immediately came up to serve him. It is said that this is one of the best booths in Fanlou, comparable to the Sifang Pavilion of various departments in the Song Dynasty, with delicacies from the east, west, north and south.
, beautiful people and beautiful things are all there.
Yang Ruoruo, the courtesan of the Song Dynasty who was holding the pipa, moved her jade fingers slightly, and the beautiful melody poured out. In this bustling building, she could hear it clearly and without any clutter. Ye An wanted to open the partition wall several times to take a look.
What kind of soundproofing material was used?
However, Cao Yi was not surprised and invited Yelu Han to have a drink with him and asked Ye An to talk: "This time, Yelu Envoy invited us because of the business of our company in Liao. As the big owner of the company, you, Ye An, will naturally have a good relationship with Yelu Envoy."
Let’s talk in detail!”
After speaking, he said to Yelu Han: "All matters of our business, big and small, are decided by Yehou. If Yelu envoy has any questions, just tell him."
As a military general, Cao Yi has a straightforward personality, but behind this straightforwardness is also his own thoughtfulness. He knows where his shortcomings are, so he delegates all the discussions about Yeluhan to Ye An, a smart man, and he is not fooling around.
Eat Haisai and flirt with the beauties waiting by the side.
Ye An watched helplessly as the servant of the Qing Dynasty fed a piece of cake to Cao Yi with a sandalwood mouth. He wondered if he would be beaten to death by Qin Mumu if he did this...
Yeluhan looked at the young man in front of him curiously. There were many legends about Ye An whether in Tokyo City, Liao Dynasty or Dangxiang.
The reason why Ye Luhan considers it to be a legend is that there are some exaggerated contents in it, especially the Battle of Huanzhou where Ye An became famous. A young official who can be regarded as a teenager was actually able to appease the deputy envoy, even in
Huanzhou defeated Li Deming.
Is it that Li Deming is too fragile or that Ye An is too defiant? Or is someone deliberately making it up to support him? Ye Luhan believes that the last one is the most likely.
The reason why Ye An became successful all stemmed from the mysterious family behind him. Whether it was his special family education or the auspiciousness he dedicated to the Song Dynasty, they were all inseparable from this family.
As an envoy of the Liao Dynasty, Yeluhan was extremely sensitive to news about the Song Dynasty. The news he received about Ye An over the years surprised him, especially what he did in Ganliang, which was even more incredible.
Many news about Li Deming's death point to Ye An, and Qingtang's attachment is inseparable from Ye An.
Yeluhan was not surprised that such a talented and beautiful person was just a mere prince of Yunzhong in the Song Dynasty. He was too young, and the court of the Song Dynasty liked to polish young people the most.
But none of this can explain why his Puhui Company became another behemoth in the Song Dynasty. Especially in terms of making money, Ye An seemed to have a different kind of magic power and could stand out no matter what he did.
Yelu Han picked up the wine glass and said with a smile: "Ye Hou has such a family at such a young age, Han is really envious!"
Ye An also picked up the wine glass and responded with a smile: "Messenger Yelu, thank you. Ye An is just a master of economics. However, economics is true in enriching the country and benefiting the people. If Messenger Yelu is willing to listen to the boy's story about the family..."
Yeluhan smiled and raised his glass and said: "I am willing, Han is willing to listen attentively!"
In fact, Yeluhan is already thirty-eight years old this year and is much older than Ye An. Ye An said helplessly: "Mr. Yeluhan doesn't need to be humble here..."
Yeluhan smiled slightly and said, "My nickname is Jingshan."
"Ye An, Ye Changsheng."
Although Cao Yi next to him seemed to be enjoying the food and beauty, he was actually focusing on this. In his opinion, this was a courtesy between literati, and it would be better for the two of them to just come up and announce themselves.
"Economics cannot be separated from the market. The prosperity of the market is the prosperity of a country's economy. Only with the economy can there be people's livelihood. With people's livelihood, people will naturally be stable. When people are stable, they can work and produce. In this way, a virtuous cycle will be formed, and the national strength will be stronger.
To become strong and prosperous. This is the role of economic principles."
Ye An's words definitely sound correct, but this is just a general principle. The real economic operation has special laws, and people hundreds or thousands of years from now are only scratching the surface.
However, it was enough to deal with the ancients who knew this era. Yeluhan was very interested in asking questions. He believed that young people like Ye An are the most passionate. Once they get involved, they will discuss their opinions and opinions in detail without any hesitation.
.
Then he said: "Then why have all the dynasties emphasized agriculture and suppressed business? As Chang Sheng said, what the economy needs most is businessmen, right?"
Ye An paused for a moment, raised his eyebrows and said, "The benevolent see the benevolence, and the wise see the wise."
"Oh?!" Ye An's point of view surprised Yeluhan, and asked curiously: "I would like to hear the details."
Cao Yi next to him didn't care at all. Ye An was the founding prince of the Song Dynasty. If he wanted to make money for Puhui Company, he would never do anything to know about foreign enemies.
"Some people say that merchants are not engaged in production, but just transport goods from one place to another and earn the price difference. This is really ill-gotten wealth. This is a big fallacy!" Ye An stood up slowly, as a person in the shopping mall.
The "old hunter" knows how to set the trap.
Sure enough, after hearing Ye An's words, Yeluhan's expression became solemn and he poured tea for Ye An himself.
At this time, Ye An was not humble. He picked up the tea cup and took a sip: "Merchants are not engaged in production, but they transport goods from one place to another to provide the needs of the people. During this period, they hire people to move and drive carts."
Naturally, we have to pay these people money, which is equivalent to feeding these people, but it is also the cost of the merchants. Aren't these costs considered the expenses of the merchants? The most important thing is that with merchants, the excess goods produced by the people in a place can be
Only when there is a market can money be exchanged. Commodities circulate from one place to another, and merchants earn the price difference. People in one place get money, and people in another place get what they need. Is this a bad thing? In the trading of goods
The country also received tax revenue during the process...Does Mr. Jingshan still think there is anything wrong with the businessman at this time?"
Ye Luhan has been fooled by Ye An's theory of businessmen. People's cognition generally stays in the current era. Very few people can transcend this era to see everything. Therefore, Ye An's theory of businessmen is perfect.
He was convinced and convinced that he had found the secret to the prosperity of the Song Dynasty.
