Chapter 172: I also gritted my teeth and accepted what conditions Tang Cheng had offered.

There is no doubt that the level and grade of customers determine the merchant's status in the industry. Whether it is a restaurant, inn, or places like Yueminglou and Daya Zhizhengyuan, what determines its influence is not the merchant's own boast, but the kind of customers coming here.

On the opening of Daya Zhizheng Park, it was a time when all the top luxury merchants in Shandong East Road were caught in one go. Tang Cheng achieved this with his identity and professional skills, and it was unprecedented in all the merchants in Shandong East Road.

And when these top wealthy people in this path are all amazed at the luxurious furnishings of Daya Zhizheng Garden, especially the garden like a magical pen, the impact of those merchants who failed to attend the meeting is huge. Invisibly, Daya Zhizheng Garden has surpassed the meaning of being a place of leisure. In their opinion, being able to go to this place is a symbol of identity. And you have never been to the place that so many big merchants praise? Alas, it’s embarrassing, it’s really hard to say that you are a rich man!

At the same time, from the perspective of communication, information spreading from top to bottom can not only spread more widely, but also makes it easier to believe the authenticity of the information. No matter what perspective it is to look at it, the people in the market always like to pay attention to and talk about the actions of the rich. These rich people may not believe anything else, but when these people praise the beauty of some place in unison, no one will doubt it.

If merchants are limited to their identities and reputation spread, then the observation of the first person in this way allows the adults to personally visit the opening banquet of Daya Zhizhengyuan. This news itself is the best and most powerful advertising for Daya Zhizhengyuan.

The intensity of this advertising is even far beyond the expectations of the initiator Tang Cheng. In a typical official society in which a person is divided into three categories: "official, good, and cheap", observation makes his influence far exceed the officialdom due to his status, and for merchants, for Shilin, and for the people in the market. After all, due to the specific identity restrictions of merchants, people really can't remember that there was another one who could have personally supported the business when it opened.

Just overnight, Daya Zhizhengyuan, which had just opened, became the focus of discussion in the entire Daocheng with a gorgeous image. The most common people in the city talked about was the strange name of Daya Zhizhengyuan. Who is its boss? What kind of hard relationship does it have? It can even invite all the rich and observers to go there when the business is opened. Tsk. Even those rich people agree that how much does it cost to eat a cup of wine and a dish?

What merchants talked about was the meeting with the adults in public, the exquisite furnishings of the Yazheng Garden, the elegant and stunning gardens, the ladies with outstanding temperament and musicians with great skills. Of course, at the end, they would always unintentionally reveal the crystal-clear jade token, and unintentionally talk about the privileges of such jade tokens. The most unintentionally mean that such jade tokens are only 150 sides engraved on the entire Shandong East Road. When they talked about this, their tone was light and casual.

Of course, Shilin was also talking about it. In addition to talking about the background of the boss of the Daya Zhizhengyuan and the magical musicians and maids who were rumored to be magical, their most concerned about the poem "The Road to Shu" that was observed and praised by the adults. The proportion of admissions to the imperial examinations these days is too small. It is really difficult for scholars to come forward. Therefore, the scholars must learn local skills and life experiences. Who should they go to? They are those leaders in the poetry world and those with high positions and power! How to go to the poems? They are also poems.

And the song "The Dao of Shu" which was singing in Daya Zhizhengyuan gathered all these two experiences together. Oh, I heard that the person who wrote this poem was a scholar who had just arrived in Taoism. Damn, who could make an observation make the adults appreciate it so well. Tang Cheng was really lucky. When discussing this news, many scholars were both jealous and envious. It was unreasonable. Why couldn't he get such an opportunity with such talent like me?

While they were both envious and sour, these people from the same origin were naturally interested in the legendary "The Road to Shu" in the song. They were still eager to see what the poem was written, and they could actually get the observation of the imperial examination and the author was praised so highly.

Because it was a lyricist and the poem was long, although the merchants praised it well. It was a bit difficult to silently recite the long poem just by listening to it twice. In desperation, some scholars who were both curious and resentful because they were not the first in writing made their minds at Daya Zhizhengyuan. It was a place that even the rich merchants praised it. The men in Daya Zhizhengyuan had a greater appetite than their colleagues in other places. They could not see it at all until they spent two cents of rewards.

"Ah, it's so dangerous! The road to Shu is more difficult than climbing to the sky..." After receiving this poem, the scholars habitually recite it according to the rhythm of their usual chanting. After all, poetry is a thing that talks about rhythm and parallelism. Only by reading it can you better evaluate it.

However, these scholars soon realized that it was not a big deal. When they recited this poem in the same slow and sang three times in the past, they became unhappy as they read it. The song "Dog Day" always makes people unable to help but read it faster and louder the more they read it. When the scholars finally adjusted the reading method and read the poem in one breath, they felt that the breath that was holding in front of them finally came out happily. This feeling, this time, how can you say the word "good" is so cool!

One is passed on ten, ten is passed on hundreds. When I first came to Daocheng to attend the Heyuan literary gathering, Tang Cheng hoped that no one would read the poems, but now he is looking for them in the Shilin, rushing, and even spending money to buy them to read. This world is really unspeakable. It is in this strange situation that the song "The Dao of Shu" spread rapidly throughout the literary world of Daocheng, and quickly spread to the Shilins of the states below with its location advantage of the head of Dao.

Although each of you all can find one or two problems from this poem, for example, it may be better to refine the word "天" into "天", etc., even if you want them to say something bad about the whole poem, you really can't say it! You can still say that a piece of uncarved jade is worthless, but when facing the already shining crystal jade, if you force it to mean it is a stone, you really can't say it.

After all, everyone is a scholar, and scholars can still do this shameless thing that makes a horse?

In a unique study room in Zhizhengyuan, Tang Cheng looked at the stack of tickets Lai Fu placed on the desk and went over to scatter. He saw that it was all the same, two scattered quotas, and the total amount was about 70 to 80 scatters. After scattering, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Since it is for you, just keep it! Unexpectedly, there were so many people buying it."

Lai Fu knew Tang Cheng's temperament, so he didn't say anything more. After thanking him, he put the stack of flying tickets into his sleeves. "I just asked me. I was the only one who followed him. Everyone knew that if you want to buy poetry, you have to come to me." At this point, Lai Fu smiled and said, "But there is also a bad thing about this. Now, not to mention those who come to buy poetry, even the people in the garden think that Lai Fu is a greedy person who can buy money. But it's only been a few days, and I have heard such little words several times."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng laughed, "Okay, you don't have to hand over the word anymore. Since I asked you to do this, don't worry about this."

As soon as Tang Cheng finished speaking, Meng Haoran, dressed in Confucian uniform, walked in from outside the door, "Brother Tang, you look for me."

Seeing this, Lai Fu went to prepare tea by himself. Tang Cheng stood up and greeted him, "Haoran, you are tired of these days. How about it? Are you still used to living here?"

In addition to the pavilions and pavilions in this Daya Zhizheng Garden, like the famous Suzhou gardens in later generations, there were also study and guest houses. The day after its opening, Tang Cheng simply moved in from the inn, and Meng Haoran was the one who was with him.

"Others need to stay at least fifteen cents a night, so they have to wait in line. Is this place not good?" Meng Haoran finished speaking. Both of them smiled. The business in Daya Zhizheng Garden has been booming these days. They had to put guests in at a limited quantity. On this midsummer night, the guests most favored not the building in front, but the garden like landscape paintings behind. In this way, the guesthouses designed in the garden seem to be insufficient. The guests who paid the deposit to stay in the garden for one night were lined up until nearly a month later.

"Okay, as long as you live in a suitable place," Tang Cheng invited him to sit down, and then asked again: "How is it in the yamen? Are you still used to it?"

"Brother Tang, you have already signed the charter. We will follow the charter. All of our colleagues are good." Although the two are now superiors and subordinates, since Meng Haoran called "Master" for the first time and was stopped by Tang Cheng, they have still followed the previous name in private. "I didn't expect that Young Brother Zhang Xiangwen looked active by nature on weekdays, but he was indeed a good person when doing business."

Upon hearing this, Tang Cheng laughed and gave Meng Haoran a cup of tea that Lai Fu gave him. "Don't think that my second brother is not a regular person, but he can tell the most important things. He can rest assured that he has to leave it to him. Well, I feel relieved if you adapt to it in the yamen. I am preparing to invite local scholars and scholars in the garden, as well as scholars and scholars of the Mingjing Scientific Society. After a few days, I will find a way to get you a place for Taoism. When you introduce yourself, you can go to Beijing to take the exam together."

Upon hearing this, Meng Haoran was shocked, but his face was clearly full of emotion, but he didn't say a word. "The Analects of Confucius" says: A gentleman should be quick to act and speak slowly, especially in such matters. The best way to treat gratitude is to repay through actions, but he couldn't say anything on his lips. Meng Haoran is obviously such a gentleman. After pondering for a long time, he calmed down and said slowly: "Accusing a banquet for Xuezheng and Xueguan? These people are most proud of their identities..."

"Don't worry, I'm here for this matter." Turning his head to look at Meng Haoran, Tang Cheng smiled and said, "Young brother, maybe I don't know yet, there is another neighbor with a name in our garden."

"who?".

"Where is Yu's envoy?" Tang Cheng lowered his head and took a sip of tea, "It seems that our envoy really likes this garden very much. Although Mr. Yu may not come twice in a summer, the guest house was left in his name after all."

Upon hearing this, Meng Haoran was silent for a moment, then sighed: "It's said that you and I were the same year. I used to be quite arrogant, but since I met Brother Tang..." At this point, Meng Haoran shook his head gently, "People's words are beyond poetry, mountains, geography, and world are all knowledge. Compared with Brother Tang, his previous conceit is really ridiculous."

"You and I know each other, why are you talking about this?" Seeing Meng Haoran's face feeling sad, Tang Cheng, who felt ashamed, quickly turned his head, "By the way, I'm asking Haoran to come here this time just for poetry."

"oh?".

"We have to sing at least two new poems every night in this garden, and the quality of this poem is even better. How can I scratch my head for this?"

"Since the beginning of "The Road to Shu" I have heard all the poems in the garden these nights, and Brother Tang's talent and thoughts are pouring. All the new poems sang in the past few days are the best. I don't know what the Shilin is. When the colleagues in the yamen talked about these poems, they praised them all." Speaking of this, Meng Haoran put down the teacup in his hand. "Especially the poem "Green Ant New Wine, Red Mud Small Fireworks, I'm going to have a snowy night, and I can drink a cup without a drink?" There are many people mentioning it. This is a bit wrong with the season. When this winter comes, I think this five-character poem will definitely become the most popular wine-entering poem in Daocheng."

"Forget it, forgot, Haoran, don't say anything more," Tang Cheng shook his head with a wry smile, "In such a big garden, I have to ask for poetry every day, for the reputation of this garden. It must be a good poem. I really can't support it. I'm so unstoppable. Even old works have been brought out."

Tang Cheng smiled bitterly on his face and felt even more bitter in his heart. In order to realize his idea of ​​when he first built the Daya Zhizhengyuan, good poetry was the most indispensable and important thing. Especially in the early stage of opening. It was just easy to say, but it was not easy to find so many good poems. Although he remembered that many, many of them could not be used now. Putting aside these, the classic works of famous poets could not be borrowed by one person. If we finished Li Bai and Du Fu's representative works now, this... this is too much.

Thinking about relaxed, people who do not travel in time will never know the inner struggle of time travelers when plagiarizing masterpieces, especially when facing an idol like Li Bai, who can be cruel to destroy the shining idol with his own hands? The two are put together, one weighs the left and one thinks the right, hey, that's so difficult!

"Haoran, no matter what, you have to go up from tomorrow night. Haven't you written poetry recently? Then there are old works from the past? Ah, I'm just going to say that. You have more thoughts to sort out later. After your reputation is spread, it will be convenient for you to take advantage of our garden to make the best use of Taoism. "Tang Cheng waved his hand and told Meng Haoran not to refuse anymore. "Apart from that, it's not enough for you and me. Haoran, think about who wrote good poems among the friends I made in the past, and they also took them together. But it must be a good poem, so it's not necessary to make them famous. In addition, all the poems used in this garden are given with a smooth pen."

"Okay, I'll write later. But according to the amount used in the garden, two poems a day must be good poems. Even if I can contact some, this is far from enough."

"Stand for it, no matter what, you have to last for two months." After gritting your teeth, Tang Cheng laughed ruthlessly: "At most two months, our garden's reputation in poetry can be officially established. Haoran, by that time, a large number of people who want to stand out will have to cry and shout to send poems. However, in these two months, all the new poems our garden sang must be excellent works."

When Tang Cheng was busy with Daya Zhizheng Garden, the Yueming Building next to the yard was also very lively.

There were still a few people, and Su Sanhuan, who was also the most impatient, stared at Yue Chaoqun with unwilling expressions: "Brother Yue, it's been several days. The next door, Daya Zhizhengyuan, is like a rake, let's just watch it like this?"

When Su Sanhuan spoke, the other three people followed closely.

"Yes, Brother Yue, now the rich men in this city are crazy, and those who keep silent are all Daya Zhizheng Garden. If this continues, it won't work."

"When talking about the brothels in Daocheng, who wouldn't mention Yueming Tower first? Now I'll listen to it, 'Yueming Tower is far worse than Daya Zhizheng Garden', Brother Yue, can you bear this if you do this?"

"This is not only about Yueming Tower, but about slapping the entire Liulinfang in the face. Brother Yue, can you bear it, we..." As the boss made a generous speech, a man in servant dress walked in when the door opened.

At this point, Yue Chaoqun sat upright with his eyes slightly closed, ignoring the passionate boss, but looking at the servant and saying, "How is it?"

"Lao Ziqi's leg was also broken. It was the third update last night. Xiaodi had just visited it." Speaking of this, the servant's voice trembled, "At Lao Ziqi, there was no 23 people who went with Scar Hu that day, and all had their hands and feet broken."

Su Sanhuan and the others naturally knew who Scar Hu was. What he was doing. They knew even more. They had only heard that he had been arrested before. This was the first time that he had heard that he had been cut off his hands and feet. All twenty-three people had broken hands and feet, and none of them were spared! For a moment, the whole room was silent, and the servant's dry voice said: "In addition, Inspection Officer Wan asked me to send a message to the master."

Yue Chaoqun's eyes swept over Su Sanhuan and others who were suddenly stunned, and returned to the servant and "speak".

"Inspector Wan said he had no choice but to force him. Please understand his difficulties." After glanced at the master, the servant said in a dry voice: "Inspector Wan said that he would be more patient these days, even if there is anything, it would be equivalent to observing and transferring. Otherwise, it would be nothing if he made things difficult for him, but he was afraid that Lord Linghu would have to follow him. If things really came to this point, everyone would have to make things difficult for him."

Lord Linghu is the biggest reliance on Yueming Tower and the biggest official in the brothels of Liulinfang. When he heard this, Su Sanhuan and others still didn't understand what it meant? After a moment of stunnedness, their faces, who were still as dumb as a chicken, suddenly turned pale. "Yue... Brother Yue, what did Scar Hu call in it?"

"What move? Tang Cheng didn't ask anything at all." Hearing this, Su Sanhuan and the other two suddenly relaxed their faces, and they breathed a sigh of relief. Yue Chaoqun looked at them with contempt and sneered: "Don't you think about why he didn't ask?"

Just as this sentence, Su Sanhuan and the other two slammed again after just relaxing: "Brother Yue means he knows who did it?"

"Will a supporter who can invite all the wealthy people and all the observation envoys to go when the business is opened? Will he be a fool? Who can do this?" Yue Chaoqun talked about the faces of Su Sanhuan and others, and said word by word: "Since he is not a fool, why don't you ask?"

"What to do, Brother Yue?" When Su Sanhuan said this, there was a faint crying voice in her trembling voice, "What to do?"

"What should I do? You can't bear it! Just fight him." Yue Chaoqun's cold words were filled with indescribable ridicule.

This is still human words!

After the four people were stunned for a while, Su Sanhuan reacted the fastest. When she got up, she came to Yue Chaoqun, "Brother Yue, you have known this for a long time, you must have a solution."

"You can't bear it, what can I do?"

When he heard Yue Chaoqun's tone, the few people who reacted immediately came up to make a good speech. After a long time, he heard Yue Chaoqun's faint voice say: "Can you listen to my idea?"

"Listen, my grandson doesn't listen." Su Sanhuan and the other two were really nodding at this moment, "Brother Yue, don't rub us, what's the law of the matter?"

"If you can't be hard, you will naturally be soft. If you can't beat it, you have to talk about it."

"talk?".

"I ask you, your inputs in the past few days are really as unbearable as you said just now?"

"No...it's not much less than before."

Upon hearing this, Yue Chaoqun snorted coldly, "I know why?"

This time I was answering another boss, "Daya Zhizhengyuan is just a simple companion, and there is no flesh-and-skinned business inside."

"When Scar Hu went there that day, Daya Zhizhengyuan prepared the rejoicing money, and later added 30%." The sudden sentence made several people stunned. Yue Chaoqun ignored them and said to himself: "Since Tang Cheng knew who was instructing Scar Hu, he could destroy Scar Hu in prison for more than 20 Scar Hu people, but Yueminglou can still do business as usual these days. What does this mean?"

"What?".

"Idiot", after cursing fiercely in his heart, Yue Chaoqun said again: "This shows that he is a man who knows the rules and is willing to follow the rules when doing things."

"People who know the rules will understand that everyone is for money. We sent Scar Hu to go for money. He also deposed Scar Hu and the others. Since they are all for money, there is no need to fight blood and courage. Such people can talk about it at any time." At this point, Yue Chaoqun stood up and walked to the window to look at the garden opposite and said in a deep voice: "As long as you can defend the issue of not letting Daya Zhizheng Garden start a flesh-and-skin business, this time Tang Cheng offered other conditions, I will accept it. The fuck you must follow it. If anyone feels unable to bear it, Scar Hu will end up!"
Chapter completed!
