Northern Dynasties Imperial Industry

Chapter 106: Wine and Meat

In midsummer, the climate has become hot and dry.

If there is no wind in the wilderness, the heat will steam you; if there is wind, the sand and dust will blind your eyes.

When the group arrived at Lishan Mountain and turned into the mountain road, they were finally spared the hardship of being exposed to the scorching sun. The gentle wind blowing through the forest blew into their faces, refreshing and pleasant. The tall bamboo trees were densely shaded, and they could listen to the music while leaning on the stubborn rocks. Songtao is also interested.

As the mountain road became more ups and downs, Li Tai was unwilling to use up any more horsepower. He dismounted and drank from a mountain stream, and then fastened the bridle carefully.

Yu Wenhu and others also had extraordinary horses on their mounts. Although they had many attendants, they all fed, drank and wiped their sweat by themselves. A good horse is humane. The better the owner treats it, the more loyal it will be. This will undoubtedly add more security when working together on the battlefield.

"Boshan, your horse is a good horse, but the old saddle and bridle are not eye-catching enough. Come to my house another day after you return and give you a new saddle."

Ever since he gave away the valuable sword, Yu Wenhu enjoyed the feeling of manipulating things and controlling people. When the group rested at the mountain stream, he pointed at Li Taina's Hexi horse and said with a smile.

Li Tai would not take the initiative to show off that his saddle was Daxingtai's face in front of him. After hearing this, he just waved his hands and said with a smile: "I regret not carrying the sword with me on the journey. If I dare to accept such a generous gift again, this person who has done it will I’m afraid the foal will have to hide in the stable!”

When everyone heard this, they all laughed in agreement.

Apart from anything else, Yu Wenhu was indeed very proud to give this gift. Dugu Xin's generosity lies in the fact that he has been famous for a long time and has been directly involved in Longyou Business Road. He has countless good things that he has seen, and it is also because of He Basheng's face.

People in Kansai are generally not so generous in dealing with people. For example, when Li Tai came to visit Hui Hui for the first time, he only brought half a car of wheels, but Gao Zhongmi added thirty taels of gold.

Yu Wenhu's hand was a sword worth two thousand pieces of silk, and he might be suspected of using his power to lower the price. After all, it was a treasured sword that had been passed down from generation to generation in the eldest son's family, and its symbolic significance was greater than its actual value.

However, when Nianhua learned the reason why Yuwenhu gave the knife, he quietly told Li Tai that Yuwenhu's gift was not a loss, which shows that Yuwenhu's real benefits will only be more.

The group of people rested here for a while, and another group of people came shouting. The servants who followed them called and learned that they were descendants of the Dou family from Chang'an.

"Let's continue on the road. The journey is not far. Let's have a good rest when we get to the villa."

However, Yu Wenhu had no intention of talking to the other party here. He asked everyone to get up and lead their horses to continue climbing. It was obvious that they had little friendship with each other.

This is normal. The Dou family, like the Changsun family, including the Yu family who was born in Yu Jin, all belong to the Gao family with the surname of Lu. They are not the same people as Yu Wenhu and others from Beizhen, who were poor and suddenly rich. Even if they are mixed together now, There is also some psychological distance.

Yu Wenhu has a very submissive personality, so Li Tai has to be careful when dealing with him every day. In addition, he knows how good Yu Wenhu will be at slaying dragons and slaying in the future, so he will show a little respect for him intentionally or unintentionally. Only then can he play Come together.

After walking for a while in the forest, we came to the manor that He Basheng received last year. It was very different from the desolate and crude manor that Li Tai saw when he first came. There were colorful flowers on the bamboo trees on both sides of the road in the distance. Wrapped in silk, the mountain road is decorated with gorgeous elegance.

This was naturally not the decoration plan proposed by Li Tai. In fact, he couldn't understand the way the ancients showed off their wealth. It would be more eye-catching if you put hundreds of beauties along the way to welcome guests, and you wouldn't be afraid of causing forest fires.

While he was complaining, two high platforms appeared in front of him. On the high platforms, there were hot-figured performers in costumes dancing, and there were many guests and entourage gathered below. They stretched their necks to watch with great interest, and clapped and cheered from time to time.

This was Li Tai's advice. The wine was fragrant and the alleys were too deep. Even if the young men in Chang'an City were interested in having fun, they didn't have the time or energy to search for fun places on their own. Most of them had to listen to the advice of their close followers.

So Li Tai told the Heba brothers that if they wanted to ensure that guests came to the club like clouds, they could not treat these servants as human beings. They are having fun here. Even if the owner doesn't want to come, he still has to encourage them every day.

Running a club, brokerage and public relations are essential operating costs, not to mention that even if these followers are entertained for free, this part of the expenditure can be squeezed back from their respective owners.

The Heba brothers are very attentive to the management of this club. In addition to two stages for actors and actresses to dance and music, they also built a pavilion hundreds of meters long nearby for people to rest and serve as a manor wall. In addition to free food and beverage supplies, there are also all kinds of fighting games such as Ai Pu and Zhi Shang.

As soon as their group arrived here, servants wearing colorful hakama ruffles came forward and led their accompanying horses to the stables.

Nianhua skillfully took the copper number plate handed over by the servant of the manor, and was still reminding a few people to put it away carefully. With this, he could enjoy free services in many clubs. However, he became discouraged when he thought that among his companions there was the big boss behind the club. , but soon turned to excitement and said: "We are going to the pool together today, I want to have fun here!"

After Yu Wenhu heard this, he also smiled and said: "That's right!"

The entrance to the manor is a huge screen wall, a triangular rolling billboard that was common in squares and stations in later generations. Every once in a while, the servants in the manor manually turn it up to form a new picture.

Even such a simple use of techniques has attracted many guests to stop and watch for a long time. Every time the picture on the screen wall changes, a series of exclamations can be heard.

After walking around the screen wall, the view suddenly opens up. The first thing that catches the eye is a bamboo mountain with a meandering water cup. Water is diverted from a high place and melons are cut into cups. All guests can have a drink here.

But the one who can get here is not just Jiu Mengzi who comes here to drink, because further ahead is an elegant bamboo building. The bamboo building is only three stories high, but the interior and exterior decorations are extravagant, with open doors and windows, Singing and dancing.

There is a circle of tents connected to the outside of this bamboo building, and all kinds of charming voices can be heard, making those who are not familiar with human affairs red in the face, and those who are knowledgeable in human affairs have their blood pumping.

The most attractive person is nothing but wine, sex and wealth. This is also the four-character motto that Li Tai taught the Heba Jingwei brothers. Anyone who walks into this kind of private club does not intend to be a person here, so there is no need to arrange for foreign teachers to teach English.

Isn't it easy to cater to the tastes of beasts? It's nothing more than dissoluteness.

Before entering the bamboo building, the guests have to walk into a hall, where there are beautiful maids to serve them to change clothes. Li Tai raised his eyes and looked at the three words "Jiajia Hall" written on the door of the hall, and couldn't help but feel happy again.

Although he came up with the idea, the brothers also fleshed out the details. As the name suggests, this armor-removing hall is to take off the protective disguise and settle down in a gentle countryside, which is not only lustful but also a bit playful.

Nianhua strode towards the armor-removing hall, but when he turned around, he saw that neither Yuwenhu nor Li Tai followed him. It wasn't until Yuwenhu patted Yuchigang's shoulder to signal him to accompany him that they rubbed hands and walked into the hall together.

"The young boy from Boshan endures his happy time?"

Seeing Li Tai stopped moving forward, Yu Wenhu asked with a smile.

After Li Tai heard this, he sighed and said, "I really don't have the determination like Brother Sabao. I'm afraid I'll know the taste by eating the marrow and then go wild, which is simply not close."

When Yu Wenhu heard this, he laughed loudly, patted him on the shoulder and sighed: "There are few people in the world who can overcome desires and restrain themselves. It is also a kind of wisdom for Boshan to keep a respectful distance. It is true that dissolute play is not good for the body and mind. People who surrender to desires will have limited achievements." You and I are still practitioners on the path of merit, so we really shouldn’t be immersed in it for a long time!”

Yes, our great cause of slaying the dragon has not yet begun, how can we easily lose our will!

Although there was a secret gimmick in his heart, when he heard what Yu Wenhu said, Li Tai couldn't help but feel a little impressed with him. No matter how indulgent Yuwen Huhui's desire for power becomes in the future, at least he is still an ambitious young man with ideals and ambitions, and at least he is not bad at self-management.

The two of them were walking leisurely in this clubhouse. Because they were still dressed in fashionable clothes, they were quite conspicuous. Soon, guests walking through each floor recognized Yu Wenhu and came in to say hello.

Not long after, He Bawei, who was wearing a feather cloak and wide robe, strode over. He hugged Yuwenhu and saluted him from afar. Seeing that the two of them had not changed into the clothes for the opera, he said a little uneasily: " Is the layout of the garden not in line with the public interest of the pool? If there is anything that needs to be improved, please speak up and correct it!"

"Very good, it's already very good! I'm here today. I don't have any intention of having fun. I just took a leisurely trip to Boshan and came here to take a look."

Yu Wenhu didn't want to have too much contact with the Heba brothers in public, so as not to expose his identity as the big boss behind the scenes, He Bawei quickly led the two of them to a quiet small building and asked the domestic slaves to guard outside.

When talking about the management of the manor, He Bawei was also very happy.

Li Tai saw He Bawei's appearance at the banquet asking for credit, and couldn't help feeling that He Basheng would be even more sad when he saw this scene. Although their family has lost its power, when it comes to reputation, it should at least be as good as any other family in the world.

The Heba brothers kept to themselves behind closed doors. Although they were not close to the masses, they could still maintain a certain aloofness. But now they were simply reduced to being Yu Wenhu's caretakers, but they were still enjoying it.

After Yu Wenhu inquired about the income of this period, he frowned: "The season is hot outside the mountains, how come the benefits are not as good as before?"

"After all, there was a new career in the past, and people in the capital flocked to it. Since the beginning of summer, although there have been many guests, the travel budget is not as generous as before. There are also some family friends who are greedy for pleasure and credit, and are hindered by feelings, so it is not easy to rush."

He Bawei replied slightly uneasily, and winked at Li Tai frequently, gesturing for him to give him a few words of help.

Li Tai was not involved in any financial transactions between them and turned a blind eye to it. He secretly thought that he still couldn't take the gifts from Dugu Xin here for consignment, otherwise the money would be misappropriated in minutes. It seemed that he had to start building another sales department. Network.

Even if he had the idea of ​​asking people to recharge the card to do activities, he still had to keep it for himself.

"You still have to be careful. If there is someone who bullies others, I will deal with it!"

Yu Wenhu beat He Bawei for a few words and then expressed his position, is it so easy for him to owe money?
