Chapter 40

The madam was a little confused. He knew Liu Dutou, but he didn't know the identity of the person in front of him.

As soon as the young man arrived, he asked her if Manchun Courtyard was for sale, which was really surprising. If he hadn't been so polite and generous, she would have suspected that he was deliberately looking for trouble.

After hearing her words, Zhao Tai knew that she was unwilling to sell, so he smiled and said: "Don't refuse in a hurry. It doesn't matter if you don't sell. I can invest money to help you expand your scale, as long as you operate it according to my way.

I guarantee you will make twice as much as you do now."

The madam was suspicious. She had been in this business for many years and knew the market. How could she earn so much?

This young master is obviously an outsider. She just said she could earn ten thousand yuan, just because she hoped that he would quit in spite of the difficulties. She didn't expect him to actually utter arrogant words about doubling the profits of Manchun House.

After deducting expenses, her Manchun House can actually earn about two thousand gu a year. Even the best Lichun Courtyard in the city can't earn 10,000 gu. Wasn't he just kidding?

The old bustard was suspicious, but he didn't show it on his face, "Oh, the official has such great ability, why are you staring at our Manchun Tower?"

Zhao Tai knew that he didn't believe it, so he waved his hand and said, "I'll come back tomorrow and ask the person behind the scenes to meet with me. This is nothing to lose for you anyway!"

After Zhao Tai finished speaking, he stood up and glanced at Hu Zhen, who was still standing there. "Old Hu, why are you still standing? Go back with me!"

Hu Zhen heard the words and glanced at Manchun Tower, seeming to recall memories, and chased Zhao Tai with some reluctance, "Sir, let's leave like this!"

Zhao Tai looked at him and said, "Why do you still want to spend the night? What do you want to do? Drinking and sex are the best ways to weaken a person's will. If your great cause is not accomplished, stay away from these things."

Although Zhao Tai was prepared to engage in pornography, he knew that it was not a good thing.

Zhao Tai and Hu Zhen returned to the dock and boarded the ship. Zhao Tai returned to the cabin and began to write down his business plan.

The next day, after three strokes, Zhao Tai came out of the cabin. As soon as he stretched his muscles, Hu Zhen stepped forward and said, "Sir, Liu Boxian just came to see you."

Zhao Tai nodded, "Oh, are they at the dock?"

Hu Zhen said: "I'm gambling."

Zhao Tai nodded, "I have something to ask him about!"

After speaking, Zhao Tai washed his face and went to the pier, but Wanyan Chenglin stopped him, "Brother Zhao, why are you going?"

Zhao Taidao said: "The news from Lin'an won't be available for a while. I'm going to ask the Song people to find out about the situation in the Song Dynasty. Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be victorious in every battle!"

Wanyan Chenglin was moved, "Brother Zhao is really worried about Daikin."

"This is what it should be!" Zhao Tai said, then got off the official ship and came to Liu Boxian and others.

"Member Zhao!" Liu Boxian stood up quickly.

Zhao Tai smiled and said: "How come after one night, the brothers are still divided."

After hearing Zhao Tai's words, several Song soldiers immediately smiled and laughed.

Liu Boxian smiled and said, "Brother Zhao spent a lot of money yesterday."

Zhao Tai sat down at the table where they were gambling, and Liu Boxian asked, "How many games does Brother Zhao also play?"

Zhao Tai shook his head, "What's the point? Brother Liu has status and background in Chuzhou, so he should do something good!"

"Who doesn't want to do a career? It's a pity that they are short of money!" Liu Boxian sat down and sighed.

Zhao Taidao: "Brother Liu, I have a plan, are you interested in participating?"

Liu Boxian was a little worried, "What's the plan? Let's agree in advance, brother, I don't have any money."

Zhao Tai smiled and waved his hand, "Brother Liu doesn't need to pay. You know that although I am a Han, I am still an official in the Kingdom of Jin after all. It is a bit inconvenient to do business in the Song Dynasty. So I hope Brother Liu can help me see it then.

Do some business."

Liu Boxian asked tentatively: "What business is Brother Zhao going to do?"

Zhao Tai asked: "Brother Liu, does he know who is behind Manchun Building? I want to take down Manchun Building!"

Liu Boxian raised his eyebrows, "Brother Zhao wants to buy Manchun Tower?"

Several Song soldiers heard their conversation, which made everyone excited.

Zhao Tai nodded, "It's best to close the deal. If that doesn't work, let's see if the other party is willing to let me participate in the stock."

Liu Boxian said: "As far as I know, the owner behind Manchun Tower may be Song Hui, the county's chief secretary."

Zhao Tai asked: "Are you familiar with him?"

Liu Boxian said: "Although Lord Bo is not in the mainstream, he is a civil servant and has little interaction with us soldiers!"

Zhao Tai thought for a while, "Brother Liu will accompany me to Manchun Tower tonight."

In Manchun Tower, the master, Wang Hui, was sitting in the room, and the madam, Sister Hong, was standing in front of him.

This Hong sister was originally a young lady from a brothel in Yangzhou. She was bought by Wang Hui in her early years and was kept at home as a concubine.

A few years ago, Sister Hong was old and beautiful, and Wang Hui had a younger man around, so he asked her to open this brothel in Chuzhou City to make money for him.

"Official, I lied to the young master, saying that Manchun Tower can make tens of thousands of dollars. I wanted him to quit before the difficulties, but he said that if we can double the profit of Manchun Tower, it will only be 20,000 yuan!"

Sister Hong poured wine for Wang Hui and said with a sweet smile: "This is really making me laugh to death."

Wang Hui frowned, "I guess he's a young man from a wealthy family who wants to buy a brothel for his own fun!"

Sister Hong sat down next to Wang Hui, "Yes! I didn't want to alarm the officials at first, but I saw him coming with Liu Dutou and was afraid of offending them, so I informed the officials."

Wang Hui took a sip of wine and said, "Are they Liu Boxian's relatives? The Liu family is the descendant of Liu Guangshi. If they are targeted and want to take away my Manchun Tower, it will be a bit troublesome!"

As they were talking, someone outside the house said: "Sister, the young master and Liu Du came here again yesterday!"

Wang Hui heard this, looked at Sister Hong, and casually ordered, "Go and invite them in!"

Sister Hong bowed and hurried downstairs, "Oh, Liu Dutou and the officials are here again!"

Zhao Tai asked: "Is your boss here?"

Sister Hong led them up and said, "I'll wait for you two upstairs!"

Not long after, the door opened and Zhao Tai walked in. He saw a table set up in the room and a thin man in his forties standing in front of the table.

"Liu Dutou!" Wang Hui just cupped his hands slightly, then looked at Zhao Tai, "Who is this?"

Liu Boxian cupped his fists and said, "Master Wang, this is my brother, his surname is Zhao!"

Wang Hui's heart trembled, "surnamed Zhao?"

Zhao Tai only slightly raised his hand, "My surname is Zhao, my name is Tai, and my courtesy name is Guorui, and I am the eighth-generation grandson of King Zhao Defang of Qin!"

The old Zhao family has been in the business for almost three hundred years. There are descendants of the Zhao family all over the world, some of them are doing well, and some of them sell straw sandals like Liu Bei.

The current emperor is from the lineage of Taizu, and King Qin happens to be Taizu's son.

Wang Hui didn't know whether Zhao Tai was fake or not, so he bowed respectfully and said, "It turns out it's Mr. Zhao! I'm disrespectful!"
