Ye Sanniang's Yihongyuan was in a hurry to open, but there were only five or six carpenters in the carpentry bureau, so she took a carriage with her turtle boss to Jinping County to purchase tables, chairs, beds and other furniture.
Before leaving, Ye Sanniang couldn't help complaining to Zhu Renxia: "Mayor, our Chang'an Town is as prosperous as Tongren Prefecture, but the roads are too bad. Can you organize Minzhuang to repair the roads?"
"I also have this plan, thank you, Shopkeeper Ye, for reminding me."
Watching Ye Sanniang and her men gradually move away, Zhu Renxia made up his mind to build the road.
He immediately held a meeting of core members to make arrangements for road construction.
"We have the 'immortal mud' sent by Tianzun in our warehouse, but we haven't had time to repair the roads. Now because of the war, merchants from all over the country will not come to our Chang'an Town for the time being. We just took the opportunity to repair the roads."
After some planning, the first company and the fourth company were left to take charge of the security of Chang'an Town, while the other five companies were all pulled out to build roads.
The second, third and fifth companies were responsible for building the road from Chang'an Town to Yinma Town, while the sixth and seventh companies were responsible for building the road eastward from Chang'an Town.
The process of building roads requires first using a shovel to smooth out the uneven roads and compact them. Finally, mix sand, gravel, and "fairy mud" presented by the gods with lime, mix them evenly, and finally spread them evenly on the road, waiting. After drying, carriages and horses can pass through.
"This is what Tianzun told us when he gave us the fairy mud. He said that all roads in the fairy world are like this, strong and flat. After they are repaired, they will be smooth."
Following Zhu Renxia's order, the strong men of Chang'an Town went out one after another and set up checkpoints on both sides of the road to allow passing merchants and travelers to detour.
Under the winter sunshine, the villagers were busy waving hoes, shovels and other tools. As they sweated, the originally bumpy road gradually became smooth and wide.
In order to protect the gold in the warehouse, Zhu Renxia specially added a task to Junzi Company and ordered them to dispatch four people to guard it during the day and eight people to guard it at night. They rotated day and night, and no one was allowed to approach without permission.
Moreover, these guards do not need to participate in training, are not subject to the Warehouse Bureau, and report directly to the mayor. This prompted the people from the Warehouse Bureau and the Gentleman Company to restrain each other and avoid theft.
The fifth person was ordered to intercept fifty kilograms of gold, put it into a box, and prepare to go to Tongren Mansion to exchange for silver.
Although Chang'an Town was closer to Liping Mansion, it was plundered by the rebels. There were only a handful of merchants in Liping Mansion who could afford five thousand taels of silver.
Moreover, Liping had just been baptized by the flames of war and was currently under tight security after the new prefect took office. Bringing such a sum of gold into the city would probably cause unnecessary trouble.
If the government ends up targeting Chang'an Town, it will be even worse than the loss.
"Tongren Mansion is less than two hundred miles away from Bozhou. I don't think it's safe. I might as well go to your hometown Guilin to exchange money."
Before the team was ready to go out, the fifth place player changed his mind and planned to change the destination from Tongren to Guilin.
Chang'an Town is four hundred miles away from Tongren Prefecture and five hundred miles away from Guilin Prefecture. Although it is more than a hundred miles away from Guilin, it is undoubtedly safer because it is far away from Bozhou, where Yang Yinglong ruled.
Zhu Renxia thought for a while and readily agreed to the fifth place's suggestion: "Then go to Guilin. Not only is it safer than going to Tongren, but this is the fiefdom of the Jingjiang Prince's Palace. There are more wealthy merchants, so it is easier to exchange money."
The fifth person added: "Fifty pounds of gold is not a small amount, so I hope that Brother Sanli can accompany me on the trip."
"Don't you need me to go?" Jin Zhu asked, pointing to his nose, "In the past, all errands like running errands belonged to me."
The fifth man shook his head like a rattle: "I don't dare to use you, I'm afraid I won't have to meet the rebels, and I will be pissed to death by you, my aunt, on the way."
"snort……"
Jin Zhu rolled her eyes in anger, "My aunt doesn't want to accompany you yet!"
Zhu Renxia said to Jiang Guanjun: "Fifth brother is right. It is really unsafe to carry fifty pounds of gold on the road. I have to ask Third Uncle to accompany him on a trip to Guilin."
Jiang Guanjun happily agreed: "Anyway, the people have been building roads recently. There is no need to practice these days, so I will accompany the fifth master on a trip."
At that moment, Jiang Guanjun took Xu Le and selected fifteen agile masters, all riding horses, and surrounded the fifth place's carriage out of Chang'an Town and headed east to Guilin.
At noon the next day, Ye Sanniang hired a dozen carriages and brought back a bunch of beds, tables and chairs from Jinping County. It was obvious that she was determined to win the flesh and blood in Chang'an Town and had invested a lot of money.
The fifth one was on a business trip, and Zhao Jinlian lost her support, so she could only suppress her ambitions and stay dormant for the time being.
"Haha... Sirs, our Yihongyuan will be tidied up today and will be open tomorrow and the day after tomorrow. You are welcome to come and play then!"
Sitting on the carriage, Ye Sanniang kept saying hello to the Minzhuang people who were building the road, and warmly invited them to come and support them.
"Madam Ye, please hurry up. When the time comes, I'll look over your sign first when I come in!"
Platoon leader Wang Sanhan's mouth watered, and he stretched out his hand to grab a handful when the carriage passed by.
Ye Sanniang smiled "chichi": "As long as the uncle has money in his pocket, the girls will have a lot of fun!"
Wang San patted his chest and said: "Haha... I am a platoon leader. I am paid one tael of silver per month and can earn work points every day. It is enough for me to prostitute you bitches!"
"Oh... this man's words are really unpleasant!"
Ye Sanniang shook the flower handkerchief in her hand, "Without these bitches, why would you stinky men sleep with old sows? Don't just talk, you are welcome to come and prostitute when the time comes!"
In the evening, the scholar named Xie Yangxin brought back eight carpenters. He replied to Zhu Renxia: "Report to the mayor, I am lucky enough to have successfully hired eight carpenters."
"Very well, thank you for your hard work, sir. We in Chang'an Town need literate people like you."
Zhu Renxia was very satisfied with Xie Yangxin's performance, praised him, and asked him to continue returning to the college to assist Xu Youliang in teaching.
Because these carpenters were hired on a temporary basis, Zhu Renxia did not allow them to enter the inner city. Instead, he asked Zhao Yun to arrange for them to be sponsored by private houses in the outer city. During the day, they went to the carpentry bureau to work with the Chen brothers.
The carpentry bureau suddenly increased from five people to thirteen people. Zhao Yun specially hired a peasant woman to cook for them and provide food and shelter for these carpenters.
After several days of preparation, Yihongyuan finally opened with all the gongs and drums.
After dark, red lanterns are hung up in Yihongyuan to welcome the clients of Chang'an Town.
But because many people don't have money, the business is not as hot as Ye Sanniang imagined.
For this reason, Ye Sanniang went to look for Zhu Renxia anxiously: "Mayor Zhu, your people are carrying wine jars and pork to our Yihongyuan for prostitution. This is not a solution. You can't give them Do you want to give out money?”
Zhu Renxia comforted him: "Fifth Master has already taken the gold to Guilin to exchange it. It is estimated that he will be back in three or two days. If you really don't want to accept these supplies, then let them pay on credit for the time being. When Fifth Master comes back, we, Chang'an The town will open the exchange of work points for silver."
For Yao sisters, what they eat is youth food, leaving them idle feels like losing money.
Ye Sanniang had no choice but to agree: "Since the mayor said so, I will let these people write IOUs first. If they don't accept the debt, you, the mayor, will have to make the decision for me."
"OK!"
Zhu Renxia nodded in agreement, "Those who do not keep their word will be expelled from Chang'an Town."
"Well, with your words from the mayor, I feel relieved."
Ye Sanniang happily returned to Yihongyuan, waved her sleeves, and announced to her clients: "If you don't have any money at the moment, you can sign a note and come to settle the account within half a month."
After the news spread, Yihongyuan's business suddenly boomed.
Singles who have not touched a woman for more than half a year, or even longer, are coming, almost crossing the threshold of Yihongyuan.
Because there were too many people coming in and out, the gates of the inner city wall could not be closed and were simply left open all night.
That night, Yihongyuan was under fire, and all kinds of gasping and groaning sounds continued until the fourth watch in the morning.
Early the next morning, according to Ye Sanniang's statistics, each of the fifteen kiln sisters received an average of twelve customers, and made a total of more than seventy taels of silver in one night. The average prostitution money each time was about four hundred cash.
A quarter of the more than seventy taels of income were broken silver and copper plates, and the rest were all IOUs.
The kiln sisters looked at the IOU written in black and white with some worry: "Mom, this is the first time we have heard about the establishment of a written note for prostitution. The people in Chang'an Town won't turn their backs and refuse to admit it, right?"
Ye Sanniang vowed: "I'm not afraid, so what are you afraid of? This Chang'an Zhenguang gold has hundreds of thousands taels, how can it be short of our mere dozens of taels of silver? Just clean yourself and try to seduce these stinky men. That’s fine, I’ll leave the debt collection to my mother.”
