Chapter 81 Leaving Chuzhou
Jia Sidao left home this time because he actually wanted to do something in his career.
Now he is in his early twenties, but the family has gone downhill after the death of his father Jia She, and he is the concubine's son. At home, he wants money but no money, and he wants power but no power, so he has no conditions to have fun. .
Although his sister was a noble concubine, the Jia family did not receive many benefits from this relationship.
Jia Sidao heard Zhao Tai talk about it, so he announced his family name, hoping to get some benefits from Zhao Tai.
Zhao Tai knew that it was highly probable that Jia Sidao would rise to great heights.
He had a sister who was a concubine to the emperor, and was also very favored by the emperor. By making good use of this relationship, it would be difficult for Jia Sidao to prosper.
Although Zhao Tai is now on good terms with Zheng Qingzhi and Zhao Fan, they are both loyal ministers of the Song Dynasty and will not help Zhao Tai do business. Moreover, when Zhao Tai threatens the Song Dynasty, he will definitely fall out in the future.
Now Jia Sidao has a relationship with Concubine Jia, but has no way to cash out, while Zhao Tai has money in his hands, but has no backer to protect his business.
The cooperation between the two can be said to be like dry wood meeting fire, a lustful woman meeting a pervert. They hit it off immediately.
Jia Sidao was a relative of the emperor. If he was brought in to do business, no one in the Southern Song Dynasty would dare to touch Zhao Tai's business.
Seeing Jia Sidao's interest, Zhao Tai immediately said: "If Brother Jia is willing, I am willing to open a branch of Manchun Tower and Theater in Lin'an. By then, I can give 30% of the income from my business in Lin'an and 20% to Brother Jia." , 10% honor the imperial concubine. I wonder what Brother Jia thinks?"
Jia Sidao was just starting out and had never done any power-for-money transactions. After hearing Zhao Tai's words, he felt a stir in his heart, "Brother Zhao, you gave me so much, but I don't have much capital to invest."
Zhao Tai smiled and said: "Brother Jia doesn't need to pay. Brother Jia only needs to take care of Lin'an's business."
Jia Sidao didn't expect such a good thing to happen, "Why are you so embarrassed?"
Zhao Taizheng said solemnly: "I contributed the money, Brother Jia contributed the connections and connections, and everyone contributed. Speaking of which, if it hadn't been for Brother Jia's suggestion, I wouldn't have dared to expand my business to Lin'an. What does Brother Jia have to regret? "
Hearing what Zhao Tai said, Jia Sidao smiled and said, "Then I'm not welcome."
The two of them sat together, no longer interested in watching dramas, and loudly plotted how to develop business in Lin'an.
Before I knew it, Sun's class had been singing for two hours, and it was already midnight.
At this time, after singing the part of Jing Meng, Sun Erniang, along with everyone in an excited mood, saluted the onlookers on the stage.
"Dear guests, it's not early today, it will still be the same time tomorrow night, and we will present another performance for you."
The people in the audience were still not satisfied, they all shouted to sing another section and were unwilling to disperse.
It was the first time for Sun's family to encounter such a scene, and Sun Erniang didn't know how to deal with it for a while.
At this time, Zhao Tai, who was sitting in the audience, said to Jia Sidao: "Brother Jia, I'm going to take care of it. We'll talk about it later."
At that moment, Zhao Tai got up and left his seat, walked up to the stage, picked up a big speaker, and said loudly: "Dear guests, it is really late now, and your throats need to rest. If you are still not satisfied, we have a freshly released "Peony" here. Pavilion" is a limited edition of one thousand copies. Each copy only costs a certain amount of money, and everyone can purchase it and collect it."
Zhao Tai held up a newly printed copy of "The Peony Pavilion" and explained its contents to everyone in the audience. Those in the audience who were not short of money immediately paid for it. In a short time, a thousand copies were sold out.
People bought the books, eager to know what was behind them, and dispersed from the stage.
When Zhao Tai came down, Jia Sidao was a little shocked and said: "Brother Zhao will write the content of the drama into a book and sell it?"
Zhao Tai smiled matter-of-factly and said: "After this play is staged, it will spread very quickly, and other theater troupes will also be rehearsing by then, so I can only try to make as much money as possible before now."
Now that there is no copyright, Zhao Tai can only try to maximize profits from the beginning. He not only wants to earn tickets, but also prints "The Peony Pavilion" into three volumes, upper, middle and lower, and sells them separately, with the intention of harvesting more leeks.
Hearing this, Jia Sidao expressed his admiration for Zhao Tai and was full of confidence in doing business with Zhao Tai in partnership.

On the north bank of the Huaihe River, a Mongolian warship hurriedly docked.
As soon as the ship stopped and the soldiers on the dock set up the wooden bridge, several Mongolian soldiers came down carrying a naked man who was screaming in shock.
The soldiers on the dock were shocked when they saw a naked man being carried back, and they didn't know what had happened.
At this time, the Mongolian soldiers carrying Kuo Duan got off the pier, and the leading officer shouted loudly: "Call the medical officer quickly! Someone come and rescue Prince Kuo Duan quickly!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone realized that the naked man who had been rescued with an arrow stuck in his butt was actually a rich man.
At that moment, everyone did not dare to neglect, and hurriedly welcomed Kuoduan into the barracks. As soon as the two tables were put together, they threw him on the table.
Not long after, the medical officer and the senior generals of the Mongolian army came after hearing the news, and gathered around the naked body to take a closer look.
At this time, Kuo Duan was actually awake, but he really didn't know whether he should open his eyes at this time, and how to face the Mongolian soldiers who were watching him after opening his eyes, so he could only continue to pretend to be unconscious, feeling in his heart
Cursing Zhao Tai for making him so ashamed.
"How is it?" General Meng asked as he arrived.
"Report to the general, while the prince is unconscious, I am going to pull out the arrow first and bandage the wound." The doctor said after studying for a while.
General Meng heard the words: "Then why are you still standing there? Why don't you take action quickly?"
The medical officer quickly agreed, took out the knife from the box, and was about to get started. He leaned on the broad end of the table, and the corners of his mouth twitched. Seeing that he was not going to give himself a bowl of Mabo, he suddenly opened his eyes, and in the astonished eyes of everyone
, suddenly stood up.
~~~~~~
The purpose of Zhao Tai's stay in Chuzhou was to ambush Kuaduan.
Now that the plan is successful, Zhao Taibian no longer needs to stay in Chuzhou and is ready to go to Bianjing to finalize the aid treaty between Song and Jin as soon as possible.
This time he helped the Kingdom of Jin a lot, which was equivalent to helping Wanyan Shouxu continue his life. With such a huge achievement, Zhao Tai felt that he had to ask for the military governor Dangdang.
Only then will he have the territory and troops to truly start running his own business.
Zhao Tai thought that he would soon have his own territory and army, so his heart had already flown to Bianjing and he was unwilling to stay in Chuzhou longer.
That night, Zhao Tai summoned everyone and held a meeting in the theater, demanding that Manchun Tower and the theater expand in size, recruit talents with high salaries, and train a team. A few months later, he followed Jia Sidao to Lin'an to develop.
After the meeting, Zhao Tai left another piece for Sun Erniang, "The Legend of White Snake" that he had rushed out overnight in recent days, so that he could quietly leave Chuzhou and go to Bianjing early the next morning.
