At this time, Wu Jin heard that something was wrong, and stood up carelessly and asked: "What about Miss Xi'er, can she also regain her freedom?"
Li Xi'er smiled and said: "Hou Gongshun is right, that's exactly what it is. As long as a total of one million taels are sold, all the sisters present will be treated equally. One by one, they will all be removed from their humble status forever and regain their freedom."
When the nobles heard this, they all felt a little incredible: the entire harem, after several days of frantic efforts, could barely scrape together 600,000 taels of cash.
This Jietianlou is so big that it will sell for one million taels of cash in three nights. Among them, 300,000 taels have to be donated for free, so forget it. The key is to let these hundreds of courtesans go free, and the sacrifice in terms of interests will be far beyond the 300,000 taels.
Li Xi'er alone is the number one oiran in the capital, and if the operation is completed, the income will be more than 300,000 taels. Just say it casually and regain your freedom?
The remaining beauties No. 100 are all equally stunning. They can be sold casually, and each of them can easily sell for eighteen thousand taels.
Although the nobles have great wealth and live a luxurious life, this is the first time they have seen such a prodigal master.
What the nobles didn't know was that Zhu Qiyu and his princesses were also very helpless. They had ransacked the house for a long time, and what they got were the properties of Wang Zhen, Guo Jing and other eunuchs. In the end, among the shops and properties they got, casinos, Pawn shops and brothels account for the absolute majority.
The most troublesome one is Lin Xiangyu, the royal concubine of Prince Qi: How can the majestic Prince of Qi manage these industries all day long, but the emperor is the hands-off shopkeeper, does not care about any specific housework, and does not even want to hear about it. The concubine was even more outrageous than the emperor. She ignored all domestic and foreign affairs and didn't care at all. She only read the Tao Te Ching at home every day.
The other two princesses were talented and intelligent, but they were still too young, and they were extremely doted on by the emperor and the concubine. They just played every day and had no worries.
Anyway, no one cared or asked, so Lin Xiangyu tearfully disposed of all the tiring properties such as casinos and pawn shops under her name at a low price, leaving only clean properties such as restaurants and cloth shops.
Now taking advantage of the opportunity to raise funds, Lin Xiangyu decided to completely dispose of the last bad industry: the brothel.
The reason why dealing with brothels is last is because they are too difficult to deal with: things can be sold cheaply, but people cannot be sold cheaply.
Especially in these brothels, there are a lot of girls under the age of fourteen who have been trained since childhood. If they are sold to a new owner, wouldn't they be pushed into a pit of fire? Moreover, they were sold when they were young, so it is very difficult to find family members for them. And their families can sell them once, and they can sell them a second time.
So Lin Xiangyu finally understood Zhu Qiyu's helplessness. Zhu Qiyu was also helpless when facing his own woman: he couldn't sell it, he had nowhere to return it, and he couldn't give it away. Fifteen stunning beauties take turns serving her every day, but none of the donkeys are so hard-working. They simply don't respond to their calls every day, and the earth doesn't respond to their calls.
In the end, Lin Xiangyu came up with this extreme method, first using the name of fundraising to remove people's status and slavery. Then another floor was built next to Jietian Tower, called the Goddess Pavilion, for women who didn't want to leave and had nowhere to go.
In this way, the arduous task assigned by Zhu Qiyu can also be completed: using women to create an invisible intelligence network, independent of the current East Factory and the future West Factory, to monitor the capital and collect secret intelligence for the emperor.
Lin Xiangyu was right. The powerful people did not have the structure and vision of the new king, nor did they need to have it. Therefore, as soon as this plan was launched, the powerful people were immediately attracted to it.
Wu Jin heard that all the beauties present had to learn to be good, even the top lady Li Xi'er was no exception, so she continued to ask: "How can that be done? Even Miss Xi'er is gone, then who should I look for in the future?"
Li Xi'er smiled and said: "Don't be impatient. Next to Jietian Tower, a new building was built, named Goddess Pavilion, specifically for sisters who have nowhere to go. Both of the Nu family's parents died when they were young. Even if they regain their freedom, , and no one can defect to him.
Therefore, our boss refused to give up and was assigned to take charge of the newly built Goddess Pavilion. Dear nobles, if you are free, you can also come to the slave's house to drink tea and chat. "
After everyone heard this, they felt relieved. Since everyone is still there, there is no problem. The girls have regained their freedom. Maybe one of the young talents will perform well and win the heart of a beautiful woman. Not only will they not have to pay for their freedom, but they will also get a free dowry.
The issue of rules was resolved, and the auction of Jie Tian Building officially began. Since these rare treasures are truly valuable, and the starting price was set very low, we made it clear that we wanted to sell them at a fair price, and we didn’t want to extort everyone’s money.
Even if there is no such thing as fundraising, if you take a single shot of these treasures, not only will everyone not suffer a loss, but they might even make a small profit if they resell them. Therefore, the atmosphere at the scene was extremely warm, and treasures came onto the stage like running water, and were collected by everyone like flowing water.
The dignitaries in the capital spend money like water, but in Xuanfu, Shanxi, there is a prince who can't spend money even if he wants to. He is sitting in the hall, complaining to Yu Qian.
Alazhiyuan captured all the Xuanfu's fugitive troops, but Alazhiyuan was a man of very noble morals: he would only accept money for things he could do, and he would never collect money randomly for things he couldn't do.
So when Yang Hong offered a hundred thousand taels of silver as a ransom to redeem his eldest son Yang Jun, Alazhiyuan was not moved at all.
Yang Hong was helpless. He had been guarding the border in Shanxi for decades, and this was the first time he saw Mongolians who refused to accept money.
Alazhiyuan's reply was also very clear: It's not that I don't like money, but if you have a life to receive it, you have to have a life to spend it. If I accept your money, I will definitely die, so I have no choice but to apologize.
There was no other way. Yang Hong received news of Ala's rejection at night and had no choice but to pull Yu Qian over to discuss countermeasures.
Yu Qian listened to Yang Hong's talk and had nothing to say. He just spread his hands repeatedly to express that he could not help.
In the end, Yang Hong couldn't stand it any longer and begged plaintively: "Ting Yi, please say something. Yang Jun is also your nephew and junior after all. You can't just watch him die like this."
Yu Qian asked helplessly: "Where is the head? Brother Zongdao, please put the head out for me to take a look at."
Yang Hong asked curiously: "What kind of head?"
Yu Qian asked in a more curious tone: "What are you talking about? From the 40,000 Ming army in Yanghekou on July 15th to the end of October, the Ming Dynasty and Wala have been at war for more than three months.
Where are the Tatar heads you chopped off in more than three months, that is, in one hundred days? As the Minister of War and the Governor of Shanxi, I would like to see your beheaded head. Is this request too much? "
Yang Hong was choked and speechless.
Seeing this, Yu Qian continued: "You don't know that the new king is much harder to deceive than the emperor. Let me tell you the truth, not only Yang Jun will not survive, but even Brother Zongdao yourself will not survive.
As long as you lose first, the emperor will take action against you immediately. This is all obvious, and the emperor is too lazy to lie to you.
Do you know what the emperor calls you now when he mentions Xuanfu? "
"What is it?"
"Xuanfu Jiedu Envoy, Prince Yang."
When Yang Hong heard this, he actually stiffened his neck and replied: "King Yang is the name that the Mongols fear me and spread by word of mouth. It is not the king title I gave myself."
Yu Qian was completely speechless: "Brother Zongdao, stop playing around. The emperor is really annoyed by you. Your father is the Marquis of Yingyang. What he has done, the emperor knows many things clearly."
Yang Hong immediately retorted: "No, no, no, my father is just a small family who inherited his grandfather's official position."
