"My lord, I beg you, you can't close the Xiuchun Building, otherwise some of the sisters will starve to death. Now that the army is in chaos, many of them have nowhere to go."
"Oh, what do you say?"
Qinglong has nothing to do about it. He doesn't understand what's going on here, so he can only ask Chunhong for advice.
Chunhong smiled sweetly:
"Since you men need it, let the Xiuchun Building continue to open, such a good opportunity to make money, do you want to give up, sir?
As long as you don't bully others, those who are willing to leave are free to leave, and those who are not willing to leave stay. "
Chunhong wakes up the dreamer with a word, Qinglong looks at Chunhong, and suddenly has an idea:
"How about this, Xiuchun Building is entrusted to you to manage, since the people here are very rich, we have to earn money, remember, you have to hand in the money you earn, you only get your salary.
If you agree, let’s do it for the time being. After I go back and report to the emperor, I will send someone to inform you. Don’t worry about safety issues. The local garrison will help you. "
Qinglong's words immediately moved Chunhong's heart.
She knew that Xiuchunlou was making a lot of money, and she could still take care of those sisters, but could she just do it by herself?
"My lord, Chunhong is worried that she won't be able to do well,"
Seeing that the carefree Chunhong suddenly felt a little awkward, Qinglong laughed:
"Haha, it doesn't matter. Anyway, we didn't pay the capital. If I can earn 10 taels of silver a year, I can apply to the emperor and give you a hundred taels of reward."
As Xiuchunlou's famous ""artist""
Although Chunhong didn't know how much money Xiuchun Building could earn, she estimated that her annual income should not be less than one million taels of silver.
Since this is a gathering place for Shanxi merchants, the most expensive head card in Xiuchun Building costs about 300 taels a day, and there are other teams of nearly a hundred people.
When the business is good, there will definitely be a lot of money. Don't believe it, someone who loses their fortune will invest money here.
Chapter 63
As a die-hard fan of Zhu Youjian, Qinglong would be really happy if he could guarantee that so many people would not be unemployed and could earn money for the emperor.
Qinglong entrusted Xiuchun Building to Chunhong and paid her a good salary.
"Chunhong, Daming is in need of money everywhere now, I hope you can manage the Xiuchun Building well, and you can count it as your own contribution to Daming.
If you really make a lot of money, on behalf of the current emperor, I can give you a salary of 300 taels of silver a year. "
300 taels of silver a year is nothing to those wealthy businessmen, but it is absolutely astronomical in the eyes of ordinary people.
Hearing that her salary was so much, Chunhong refused decisively while being happy.
Although she can earn a lot of money, it doesn't belong to her. She used to be just a tool for others to make money.
It's different now, her life was saved by an adult, if she doesn't have a life, how can she get any money, it's impossible for her not to pay back.
Chunhong knelt down in front of Qinglong:
"My lord, Baimen can't repay your life-saving grace. You don't need so much wages, as long as you have enough to eat..."
Qinglong smiled slightly, reached out to help Chunhong up, and then corrected her:
"Xiao Chunhong, remember, I didn't save your life, if the emperor didn't send me here to kill those so-called yellow merchants and distribute land to the common people.
It's impossible for me, Qinglong, to meet you, it's just a matter of lifting a finger.
Besides, you also have a lot of credit for being able to take down Xiuchunlou, a money-making den in the East.
After I go back, I will report to the Holy Majesty and will not treat you badly. "
As Qinglong said, he pointed in the direction of the capital, and Chunhong hurriedly turned to pay respects in the direction of the capital:
"The daughter of the people knocks on the white door to thank the Great Ming Sage, and wish the emperor long live long live long live long live!"
Qinglong didn't pay attention at first, but when Chunhong changed his words suddenly, he realized it.
"Xiao Chunhong, what did you call yourself just now, what did you call Baimen, it confuses me."
Chunhong smiled lightly, and did not answer Qinglong's question directly:
"It's nothing, the little girl felt a little bit for a while."
Speaking of this, some people may see who Chunhong really is. She is actually Kou Baimen, one of the eight beauties of Qinhuai.
It was brought to the capital by Cheng Guogong Zhu Guobi, and later sold to a Shanxi merchant at a high price. As a result, the Shanxi merchant suddenly fell ill and died.
After Jin Shang's death, she was kicked out of the house by the former spouse of Jin Shang.
Unfortunately, he was met again by Ma Quan, the boss of Xiuchun Building.
After Ma Quan forcibly obtained her, he sent her to Xiuchun Tower to make money for Dongyao.
In order not to be sold around by others, Kou Baimen often uses makeup to make himself less noticeable.
Even so, in Xiuchun Building, she was almost the most beautiful girl in the world.
If Ma Quan didn't die, he really didn't know what he would think when he knew that the woman he sent to Xiuchun Tower was actually Kou Baimen.
The matter was over, and she didn't want to mention it again, so she just regarded herself as Chunhong forever.
Qinglong was summoned by Zhu Youjian, and he didn't like going out to romantic places.Recommended reading../../
So I am not familiar with Kou Baimen, nor have I heard of it, so I didn't continue to ask.
……
"My lord, what do you think we should do if we catch a kidnapper from the East?"
Qinglong and Chunhong talked about good things, and as soon as they went downstairs, Chen Yuan stepped forward to report.
Look back at the man with the money rat tail in luxurious clothes.
"What's his name?"
"My lord, this man's name is Kong Fugui, from Shandong."
Qinglong frowned, then waved his hand:
"Kill them, check the other people, let go of all the guests who have nothing to do with Dongyao, don't embarrass them, tell them they can come at any time."
"Yes"
