The land deed of Jinyang Tower and the ship deed of Wuya Ship were sent to Yang Ming.
When Yang Lihua wanted to take these two things from Sinong Temple, it was just a matter of saying hello. It was as simple as a guard patrolling the street taking a basket of buns from a bun shop. We don't talk about money.
So the question is, how should Yang Ming take over?
He doesn't know how to do business, let alone how to maintain a former naval battleship.
We need to find some suitable people to manage these two industries, but what Yang Ming lacks most is people.
When Chen Shuyi saw Yang Ming looking at her with disdain, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, put away the tea set, and pretended to start thinking of ideas for Yang Ming.
"Many officials and their children's relatives in Jiuchen were taken captive to Daxing back then. There should be many experts familiar with ships among them. Do you know any of them?" Yang Ming asked.
Since ancient times in China, southerners have been the most water-savvy and know how to operate boats. This is of course related to the developed water system in the south. I dare not say that all people in the north are landlubbers, but at least more than 70% of them are landlubbers.
Chen Shuyi shook her head: "I don't know."
She really didn't know her. She was the eldest princess of the Chen Dynasty back then and rarely left the palace. Besides, she was so young at that time that she didn't even know the officials who often visited the palace, let alone the navy generals.
Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.
"No, I remembered one," Chen Shuyi said suddenly: "Zhou Luohu was guarding Xiangzhou and the commander of the Baxia Navy. He knows about ships. You can try him."
Thank God, do you still know Zhou Luohu?
Yang Ming instantly drooped his face...
You woman is so clever,
I couldn't find anyone who knew enough about ships to take over this Wuya, and I wasn't looking for a navy general. You actually recommended Zhou Luohu to me?
After he surrendered to the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the title of "Shangyi Tongsansi". In the 18th year of Emperor Kaihuang's reign, he was appointed as the naval commander. He followed the Han Dynasty King Yang Liang to attack Goguryeo. You asked me to find him?
Chen Shuyi seemed to realize that she had made a mistake, and she had an idea and quickly made up for it:
"He can't go, but he must have such experts under him. I heard that Zhou Luohu is in Daxing now. I can go and ask him."
That's right. When his mind started to spin, Yang Ming nodded and said, "If you can't handle it, don't come back."
Chen Shuyi "-_-||"
...
On this day, the housekeeper Chu Ji came to see him, saying that he was Wang Yan, the steward of the Prince of Qin's Mansion. He was kneeling outside the alley of the Prince of Jin's Mansion, saying that he was asking to see Yang Ming.
This was the first time that an important person from the Qin Palace came to Yang Ming after he helped Yang Hao plead for mercy.
Of course, he would never think that Yang Hao was a white-eyed wolf who helped him so much and didn't even say thank you personally, but just let others come.
In fact, Yang Hao is currently in mourning period. He spent the first half of the year in mourning at the grave, the second half of the year returned to the palace to keep vigil, and in the next two years he slowly took off his mourning clothes.
Since Yang Hao was still wearing mourning clothes, it would definitely be inconvenient to come to Yang Ming. However, he had already sent someone to express his gratitude, but that small amount of gratitude was not very meaningful, but Yang Ming could only comfort himself. The greater meaning should be later. .
The reason why the steward of Prince Qin's Mansion named Wang Yan knelt at the entrance of the alley was also because of this taboo.
He is wearing mourning clothes.
Yang Ming immediately left the palace and saw the palace manager who was managing the Nuo family business for Yang Jun outside the alley.
After seeing Yang Ming, Wang Yan kowtowed directly without saying a word.
Dong Dong Dong...
His forehead hit the road paved with bluestones heavily, and within a moment, Wang Yan's forehead was already bleeding.
Yang Minggang said hurriedly: "That's all, get up."
Wang Yan refused to listen and kept kowtowing.
Yang Ming turned to look at Xu Jing beside him, smiled and said: "What is a loyal servant? This is what it is called."
I mean, you see, you have to be as loyal as him in the future.
Xu Jing quickly stepped forward and pulled Wang Yan up: "My master tells you to get up, just get up."
After Wang Yan stood up, he first turned his back and wiped the blood off his face, then turned around and knelt down again:
"His Highness has saved King Dongping's life and is a benefactor to everyone in the palace. Wang Yan has no way to repay him. He can only burn incense and pray for His Highness every day, hoping that His Highness will live a long life."
Only a hundred years old? Yeah, yeah, quite a bit.
In the Da Sui, the hundred officials saw Yang Jian and his wife, and never shouted that long lives and long lives, Yang Yong was not a nine thousand years old.
Yang Jian and his wife are relatively pragmatic people and know that they will not live that long.
Then, Wang Yan took the initiative and said: "The eldest princess has sent people to find the old servant, so the old servant has been recruiting the Jinyang Tower servants who were dismissed in the past few days. Fortunately, he has fulfilled his mission and now seventy-eight percent of them have been found. The palace One of them, named Yu Wenlan, was once responsible for managing the affairs of more than a dozen restaurants in Jinyang City and was good at business. Now he is willing to be driven by His Highness."
It has to be Yang Lihua. Did she think of all this for herself?
"Okay, you ask this person to come to the palace to see me," Yang Ming said simply.
Wang Yan rang his head again: "Old servant, I'll do it now."
Either that or the palace steward is not an ordinary person. Before he left, he did not forget to wipe the blood stains on the road with a wet cloth.
He is a fastidious person.
An hour later, Yang Ming saw Yu Wenlan in the palace.
Don't think that people with the surname Yuwen must be nobles. The Yuwen family is indeed a common surname in Xianbei, but the real nobles are the royal family of the Northern Zhou Dynasty. The rest have a good life and some have a miserable life.
For example, Yuwenshu's real surname is Poyantou, so it's not impossible for you to call him Poyantou. People like him are given the surname Yuwen.
But this Yuwenlan's ancestor was indeed from the Yuwen family of Xianbei, but the family had long declined, and the surname Yuwen was not a glorious thing in the Sui Dynasty, so the family took refuge in Qin Wangjun and started business for others.
Nowadays, all the properties in Jinyang have been confiscated, and Yu Wenlan has become idle. Fortunately, the housekeeper Wang Yan knew that he was good at business and recommended him to Yang Ming. Otherwise, no one would dare to use him.
After the conversation, Yang Ming found out that this guy not only knew how to run a restaurant, he was also good at running a gambling house and a brothel. He was a versatile man.
"I don't ask about the daily accounts, but if I find out the annual accounting details, you can find a way to die for yourself."
This sentence reveals a deep distrust.
If Yu Wenlan hadn't been ownerless now, Yang Ming wouldn't have used him.
Yu Wenlan is now thirty-eight years old. She has been running the restaurant business for Qin Wangjun in Jinyang for six years, the gambling house business for three years, and the brothel business for three years. She is also a well-known figure in Taiyuan, and she has raised several famous prostitutes privately. .
Wang Yan had already handed over a file detailing Yu Wenlan's background to Yang Ming, so Yang Ming knew the details of the other party very well. His character should be decent, he was good at communication, he had a flexible mind, and he had no shortcomings except for lust.
Of course, being lustful is not actually a shortcoming. Yang Ming is willing to call it a hobby, a fondness for women.
In the Sui Dynasty, brothels were not called brothels because they sounded too vulgar. This place was an elegant place and was generally called Baitang.
Although brothels were banned during Yang Jian's reign, when Yang Guangyi came to power, official brothels operated by the government would bloom everywhere and be completely legalized.
There are also many nicknames for prostitutes, such as Xi Jiu, also known as Jiu Jiu. They are usually responsible for picketing at banquets. They have a relatively rich general knowledge reserve and read a lot in their spare time.
There is another type called Lushi, which is the Lushi of Fang Xuanling, who records affairs in the palace. This kind of prostitute is relatively high-end. Most of the guests they receive are above the official position of Fang Xuanling, so they are called Lushi.
The highest level is called a goddess, which can be understood as an oiran. Not only is she good-looking and well-educated, but she must also be good at various skills. These types of people are basically protected, and it is difficult for ordinary people to taste them.
The old bustard is not called Lao Bustard, but is called Douzhi, which also evolved from the official name. Yang Ming doesn't know the specific meaning, but for the time being, he understands that he knows everything about this industry.
Yu Wenlan used to be a know-it-all.
Yang Ming didn't say any nonsense to the other party. He knew that he had to keep a distance from the people under him. Only by making them respect you would they do things for you honestly.
Of course, with the exception of Chen Shuyi, she wanted to keep it for herself to enjoy in the future.
