As September comes, the autumn air is clear and cool.

The chrysanthemums outside Kaifeng City are blooming all over the mountains and fields, which is very beautiful. The people in Kaifeng Prefecture will not waste such beautiful scenery in vain, and they will go out of the house and take their families to travel out of the city.

On the Jinshui River, pleasure boats slowly passed by the river and lined up in long lines. When it was dusk and night, most of the pleasure boats on the river were anchored to the shore, but the boats were still brightly lit, and the sound of silk and bamboo like fairy music floated on both sides of the Jinshui River and did not go for a long time. The gentle evening breeze in the golden autumn makes people feel particularly comfortable.

Among these many pleasure boats, a small, extremely inconspicuous boat belongs to the Du family of calligraphy and painting in Kaifeng Prefecture City. It was the one who had oppose Wu Haogu before, but later changed his mind and presented Fan Zhongyan's genuine calligraphy book, and asked his granddaughter to worship Wu Haogu as his teacher from Du Yongde and his family.

Don’t underestimate the financial resources of the Du family. Although the Du family has received more than one-tenth of the nine months in the past year of Yuanfu, the Du family has received more than one-tenth of the Republican business. However, the Du family has a family of calligraphy and painting merchants for more than 160 years! Although there are still masters who need to offer sacrifices behind them, the masters are often blinded by agents, so the money they get may not be as bad as those who are hacked by agents!

In addition, the Song Dynasty only came out of the turbulent times of the Five Dynasties 160 years ago. Antique artworks were not valuable at that time, and the real estate in Kaifeng Prefecture was not valuable compared to now.

Therefore, when it comes to "net assets", the wealth of the Du family in Kaifeng's calligraphy and painting is far greater than that of Wu Haogu, who is now even if Pan Qiaolian's dowry is included, it cannot be compared with it.

By the way, like some of the big cities in later generations, the social wealth of Kaifeng Prefecture in the Northern Song Dynasty was mainly in the form of real estate. A Kaifeng Prefecture City covers an area of ​​about 27 or 8 square kilometers, and the total land value is at least 2 billion yuan! It should be enough to buy several Liao Kingdoms...

However, the real gold, silver and copper coins in Kaifeng Prefecture are of very limited relative to the real estate value, and the total value will not exceed 100 million coins, which may not exceed the total value of the antique calligraphy and paintings collected by the wealthy families of Kaifeng Prefecture.

In other words, once Kaifeng Prefecture falls or there is a risk of falling, most of the wealth owned by the wealthy merchants in Kaifeng Prefecture will disappear. Because once a city falls into war or is threatened by war, the real estate prices will inevitably avalanche! The prices of antique calligraphy and paintings will also plummet, and then you will buy gold in troubled times.

From this perspective, the "capitalists" in Kaifeng Prefecture are really "dwelling with the city". If they bring the Jurchen cavalry to rob Kaifeng Prefecture, or to rob Kaifeng Prefecture themselves, they will not be able to achieve the purpose of "profit-oriented"... Doing so will only make them bankrupt! Only the prosperity and development of Kaifeng Prefecture is truly in line with their interests.

From another perspective, it is precisely because Kaifeng Prefecture, the best city in the world, is too rich and comfortable, and it is too easy to get rich. Even if you don’t do anything, you can make sure to make money when you put it in! Therefore, the "capitalists" in this city are all used to making money comfortably.

In the words of later generations, the "capitalists" in Kaifeng Prefecture lacked wolf nature. They were pet dogs kept by the power of the Song Dynasty. In fact, many Kaifeng capitalists are behind the captive generals! They were originally made money by orders!

Of course, as the capital of the Song Dynasty and an inland metropolis with inconvenient transportation, Kaifeng Prefecture cannot become a wild wolf-like capital.

Now, Jiehe Commercial City, a future commercial capital that looks a bit "barbaric", suddenly appeared in front of the wealthy merchants in Kaifeng who were used to enjoying comfort. They were really unexpected!

As the leader of the Kaifeng Painting and Calligraphy Business, which has a close relationship with Wu Haogu, and Du Yongde, the new director of the Hanlin Painting Academy, naturally received an invitation from Wu Haogu to invest in Jiehe Shangshi! But not just investing in the Chamber of Commerce, but only a 10,000 yuan investment would not cause a headache for Mr. Du, who has a net worth of millions.

This time, Wu Haogu hopes that Du Yongde can invest in the construction of a "street" in Jiehe Commercial City, a commercial street selling cultural supplies, books, art and antiques!

To build roads and build houses, you have to find a way to invest in Kaifeng Prefecture. This is not only a matter of how much investment is, but also a special business mind. With this energy and capital, you can make money differently in Kaifeng Prefecture? What are you doing in Jiehe Commercial City? It is still so close to Liao Kingdom...

"Wenyu," in the Du family's pleasure boat, Old Man Du frowned and asked his granddaughter, "What did your master think? Why did you invest in Jiehe Market? Isn't his stern Republican business very profitable now?"

"Grandpa," Du Wenyu smiled, "I'm a master who is very wise. Haven't you understood these days?"

"I don't understand, I don't understand." Old Man Du shook his head, picked up the wine glass, and took a sip of the "Erguotou" sent by Du Wenyu, "Good wine! It's really good wine..."

"This is also brewed by the master of slaves." Du Wenyu followed Wu Haogu for several months. In fact, he didn't really spend much time together, but he was already a admirer of Wu Haogu.

Old Man Du frowned, pondered for a while, and asked, "Granddaughter, grandpa asks you something, you must be honest."

"Um."

"Are you his person now?"

"Yes." Du Wenyu nodded, "I am now a teacher's student."

"Not this," Old Man Du waved his hand, "That aspect."

"Which aspect?" Du Wenyu blinked and asked naively.

"It's...it's about men and women, do you know?"

"What is the matter between men and women?"

"Just holding hands." Old Man Du asked, "Have you held your hand?"

"No..." Du Wenyu's pretty face turned red, she already understood what her grandfather was talking about.

"Why haven't it?" Du Yongde gently turned his finger's wine glass, "He is not interested in you?"

"Grandpa!" Du Wenyu stomped his feet and said coquettishly, "I don't like him. I'm like a wood, and I'm still controlled by Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing!"

Seeing his granddaughter's expression, Du Yongde laughed, "I didn't expect Wu Dalang would be afraid of his inner self. But it's no wonder that he married Pan Qiaolian, the fierce woman, and received a dowry of more than 300,000 yuan. He was always afraid of it for a few days.

By the way, isn’t he going to Qingzhou in a few days? Have he brought a woman with him? If he didn’t bring her, you might as well serve him along the way. In the past few months, can he really become a monk?"

Du Wenyu's eyes lit up and she nodded repeatedly. She knew that her master had a very strange habit of never visiting prostitutes. Even if she socialized with others, she asked Meiji to accompany her to drink two cups, that's all. If it weren't for the death of Pan Qiaolian and Ximen Qing, Du Wenyu would have thought that his master had something wrong with...

Old Man Du smiled and said, "This time you follow him and touch the bottom of Jiehe Commercial Market. If he treats you well, Jiehe Commercial Market is really good, then my old Du family might as well follow some."

...

Wu Haogu's good apprentice Du Wenyu probably wouldn't have thought that her teacher, who never seeks prostitutes, would step into a brothel under the protection of Lin Wancheng. It was not a high-quality brothel, but a brothel called Yihongyuan located in the gathering place of the North Xiang Military Camp in Kaifeng Prefecture.

Oh, it is the brothel of the beloved Yan Po'er of Liu Wuji.

"Dongweng, why doesn't it look like it is open?"

When he walked into Yihong Courtyard, Lin Wancheng found that the brothel was empty, and he did not see the prostitute or the turtle slave. The lights were bright, otherwise Lin Wancheng would have thought he had entered the "haunted house".

While I was talking, I suddenly heard the sound of footsteps at the stairs.

Two women walked down from the upper floor, one of whom was half-old Xu Niang Yan Po'er, who was used to being bold and bold. She wore an almost transparent gauze zipper, and inside was a small strapless bra. Two big meat balls were swaying. The woman behind her was about her early twenties, wearing a green Su-embroidered long skirt, and a green zipper outside, with a graceful and charming posture. Her chest was also as bulging as Yan Po'er, with a faint touch of delicate whiteness, melon-shaped face, willow-leaf eyebrows, and a pair of bright eyes that were rippling in autumn, making her look even more charming... Looking at her appearance, she looked a bit similar to Yan Po'er walking in front of her, and I don't know if she was a sister or a mother-daughter?

"I'm not open to Yihong Courtyard, so I'm deserted."

Yan Po'er heard Lin Wancheng's words and answered on the stairs.

"No more?" Wu Haogu was stunned, "Can you and Liu Xiaoyi be married?"

Wu Haogu was invited by Liu Wuji to Yihong Courtyard. Yihong Courtyard is now Liu Wuji's property, and this fake Taoist priest who used to be in Panlou Street has now gone up. Together with Guo Jing, they are all the royal Taoist priests of Duan Zhao Ji.

"Big wedding?" Yan Po'er laughed, "How dare a woman like me think about this? Your good brother is now a celebrity of King Duan, so don't you find a good one?"

The truth that men become bad when they have money is not only applicable to Wu Haogu, but also to Liu Wuji. When he was poor in the past, it was good to have a woman. Although he was a little older, his appearance was not bad.

But now, haha, the celebrity of Duan Zhao Ji! Zhao Ji doesn’t know when he will become an official! How few people are there to send Liu Wuji to flatter? These days, I wonder how many daughters of Kaifeng merchants have come to Huaxian Temple to seek marriage!

Why can Liu Wuji, a young man, still like Yan Po'er? Oh, actually, he doesn't like him. Yan Po'er is really a very charming woman, a mature woman. For men who like mature women, it is the best! It is said that even King Duan Zhao Ji held hands with her...
