Emperor Sui Yang

Chapter 89
The title deed of Jinyang Building and the ship deed of the Five-Yaed Ship were sent to Yang Ming.

Yang Lihua wanted to get these two things from the Sinong Temple, it was just a matter of saying hello, just like a guard patrolling the street taking a basket of buns from a bun shop, we don't talk about money.

So here comes the question, how should Yang Ming take over?
He doesn't know how to do business, and he doesn't know how to maintain a former naval battleship.
It is necessary to find some suitable people to manage these two properties, but what Yang Ming lacks most is people.

When Chen Shuyi saw Yang Ming looking at her with disdainful eyes, she stuck out her tongue in embarrassment, put away the tea set, and pretended to think for Yang Ming.

"Back then, many officials and their children and relatives were captured in Daxing in Old Chen. There should be many experts who are familiar with ships. Do you know any of them?" Yang Ming asked.

Since ancient times, in China, the southerners are the most water-savvy and know how to maneuver boats. This is of course related to the developed water system in the south. I dare not say that all landlubbers in the north, but at least landlubbers account for more than 70.00%.

Chen Shuyi shook her head: "I don't know."

She really didn't know her. She was the eldest princess of the Chen Dynasty back then, and she rarely left the palace. Besides, she was young at that time, and she didn't even know the officials who often went in and out of the palace, let alone the generals of the navy.

Yang Ming shook his head helplessly.

"No, I remembered one," Chen Shuyi said suddenly, "Zhou Luohou was guarding Xiangzhou in those days and was the commander of the Baxia Navy. He knows about ships. You can ask him to try it out."

Thank goodness, you still know Zhou Luohou?

Yang Ming immediately drooped his face
This woman is so smart,

It's because I can't find anyone who understands ships to take over the five-ya, and I'm not looking for a navy general, so you actually recommended Zhou Luohu to me?

After he descended to the Sui Dynasty, he was awarded the third division of Shangyitong, and he was appointed as the chief of the navy in the 18th year of Kaihuang. He followed the Han king Yang Liang to attack Goguryeo. You want me to find him?
Chen Shuyi seemed to realize that she was wrong, so she had an idea and quickly made up:
"He can't go, but he must have such experts under his command. I heard that Zhou Luohou is in Daxing now. I can ask him."

That's right, his mind was about to turn, Yang Ming nodded and said: "If you can't handle it, don't come back."

Chen Shuyi "-_-||"

On this day, the housekeeper Chu Ji came to look for him, saying that it was Wang Yan, the steward of Prince Qin's residence, who was kneeling outside the alley of Prince Jin's residence, and said he was begging to see Yang Ming.

This was the first time after Yang Ming helped Yang Hao plead for mercy, an important person from Qin Palace came to him.

Of course, he would definitely not think that Yang Hao is a white-eyed wolf who helped him so much and didn't even say thank you in person, but just asked others to come over.

In fact, Yang Hao is currently in mourning period. He spends the first half of the year in front of the grave, returns to the palace for the second half of the year, and slowly takes off his mourning clothes for the next two years.

Since Yang Hao was still wearing mourning clothes, it must be inconvenient to come to Yang Ming, but he had already sent someone to express his gratitude, but that kind of gratitude was not very meaningful, but Yang Ming could only comfort himself, the bigger meaning should come later .

And the reason why the steward of the Qin Palace named Wang Yan knelt at the entrance of the alley was also because of this taboo.

He is wearing filial piety.

Yang Ming immediately left the palace, and outside the alley, he saw the head of the palace who was managing the Nuo family business for Yang Jun.

After seeing Yang Ming, Wang Yan kowtowed without saying a word.

dong dong dong.
His forehead hit the road paved with bluestone slabs heavily, and within a short time, Wang Yan's forehead was already bleeding.

Yang Ming just hurriedly said: "Forget it, get up."

Wang Yan refused to listen, but continued to kowtow.

Yang Ming turned his head to look at Xu Jing beside him, and said with a smile, "What is a loyal servant, that's what it is."

It means see, you have to be as loyal as him in the future.

Xu Jing hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Wang Yan up: "My master told you to get up, so you get up."

After Wang Yan got up, he turned his back first, wiped off the blood on his face, then turned around, and plopped down on his knees again:
"His Royal Highness has saved King Dongping's life, and is a benefactor of the whole palace. Wang Yan has nothing to repay him. He can only burn incense and pray for His Royal Highness every day, hoping that His Highness will live a long life."

Only a hundred years old?Hmm, quite a few.

In the Sui Dynasty, when the officials met Yang Jian and his wife, they never shouted long live, long live, Yang Yong was not nine thousand years old, and Yang Ming, the county king, was not thousand years old.

Yang Jian and his wife are more pragmatic people, knowing that they will not live that long.

Then, Wang Yan took the initiative to say: "The eldest princess sent someone to find the old servant, so the old servant has been recruiting the dismissed Jinyang Tower servants for the past few days. One of them, named Yu Wenlan, was in charge of managing the affairs of more than a dozen restaurants in Jinyang City, and he is good at managing them, and now he is willing to be driven by His Highness."

It has to be Yang Lihua, did you think of this for yourself?

"Okay, let this person come to see me at the palace," Yang Ming said simply.

Wang Yan yelled again: "The old servant will do it now."

Or the butler of the Wangfu is not an ordinary person. Before he left, he did not forget to wipe off the blood stains on the road with a damp cloth.

Is a fastidious person.

An hour later, Yang Ming saw that Yu Wenlan in the palace.

Don't think that those with the surname Yuwen must be nobles. Yuwen's family is indeed a common surname in Xianbei, but the real nobles are the Northern Zhou royal family. The rest are good and bad.

For example, Yu Wenshu's surname is Po Yetou, so it's not impossible for you to call him Po Yetou Shu. People like him are given the surname Yuwen.

But this Yu Wenlan was indeed from the Yuwen family of Xianbei, but the family has long since declined, and the surname Yuwen was not a glorious thing in the Sui Dynasty, so the family took refuge in Qin Wangjun and started a business for others.

Now the properties in Jinyang are being confiscated, and Yu Wenlan has become a big idler. Fortunately, the housekeeper Wang Yan knows that he is good at business and recommended him to Yang Ming. Otherwise, no one would dare to use him.

After the conversation, Yang Ming realized that this kid not only knows how to run restaurants, but also is good at running gambling houses and brothels, he can be called a versatile man.

"I don't ask about the daily accounts, but the annual bills, if I find out the problem, you can find a way to die for yourself,"

This sentence reveals a strong distrust.

If it weren't for the fact that Yu Wenlan was now a man without a master, Yang Ming wouldn't even use him.

Yu Wenlan is 38 years old. She has been in charge of the restaurant business for Qin Wangjun for six years in Jinyang, three years in the gambling house business, and three years in the brothel.

Wang Yan had given Yang Ming a file detailing Yu Wenlan's background a long time ago, so Yang Ming knew the other party's background very well. He should be of decent character, good at communication, quick-witted, and has no shortcomings except lust.

Of course, being lustful is actually not considered a shortcoming. Yang Ming would like to call it a hobby, a liking for women.

In the Sui Dynasty, brothels were not called brothels, which sounded too vulgar, but this place was an elegant place, generally called Baitang.

Although brothels were explicitly prohibited during Yang Jian's reign, when Yang Guang came to power, official brothels run by the government would blossom everywhere and be fully legalized.

There are also many nicknames for prostitutes, such as Xijiao, also known as Jiujiao, who is usually in charge of picketing during banquets. This kind of general knowledge reserve is relatively rich, and she will read a lot of time outside of work.

There is another kind called recorder, that is, the recorder of Fang Xuanling, the secretary of the palace. This kind of prostitute is relatively high-level, and most of the guests they receive are above the official position of Fang Xuanling, so it is called recorder.

The highest level is called a goddess, which can be understood as an oiran. Not only is she good-looking and cultured, but she also has to be good at various skills.

The old bustard is not called the old bustard, but Duzhi, which also evolved from the official name. Yang Ming doesn't know the specific meaning, so let's assume that he knows everything about this industry.

Everyone knew Yu Wenlan before.

Yang Ming didn't talk nonsense to the other party either. He knew very well that he had to keep a distance from the subordinates. Only by making them fear you would he do things honestly for you.

Of course, except for Chen Shuyi, she wants to save it for her own enjoyment in the future.
