The sun never sets in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 272
After listening to Chu'er's calculation with a smile, Huang Sheng said: "Chu'er is not easy, she has made great progress! The calculation is perfect."

Britain is fair: "It seems that the son-in-law knows the result, but you can obviously increase the rent by at least five times, why do you want to do this?"

"Don't be impatient, uncle. Don't all the shops and houses have a finalized three-year contract? God knows what the price will be after three years!"

Huang Sheng didn't sell a single house, but he used the strategy of holding on to the property and waiting to maximize his profits. He also used the absolutely low rent to attract a large number of businesses to Wang Gongchang Street to do business.

I manage these commercial streets with the eyes of modern people, and make it a brand. It is a sure thing. People who come here to do business will feel that the business is getting better and better, and there is no harassment by gangsters and yamen servants.

Because there are no taxes and fees here, this is the decree of Emperor Tianqi to compensate the British Duke and the Huang family for resettling Wang Gongchang refugees.

That is to say, doing business here does not require any gangsters and white ways. Which businessman does not cherish such a comfortable business atmosphere?
Soon this place will become the most popular commercial street in Ming Dynasty.

All businessmen will love this place where they can make a lot of money. After three years, the businessmen should be making a lot of money, and they will definitely want to renew their contracts.

It's a pity that the Huang family doesn't rent out the shops and all the houses due to the shortage of funds, but only buys and sells them. So far, no merchant knows how much the shops they rent are worth.

When the Huang family is ready to sell, of course it will be settled according to the market price. I am not afraid that the original tenant will not buy it, because there are many wealthy businessmen who have missed the opportunity to open a shop here. Pavement value.

When the time comes, the Huang family will recover their investment and earn three to five times that.

Chu'er is not stupid, she looked at the young master with her beautiful eyes and suddenly smiled.Zhang Zhiji seemed to understand, he patted Huang Sheng on the shoulder and said: "My dear brother, you are too hurtful, and you want all the merchants to help you increase your popularity, so that you can sit on the ground and raise the price?"

"Zhou Yu fights Huang Gai, one is willing to fight and the other is willing to suffer! Besides, if they don't buy it, I won't force them, and they won't suffer a loss. It's as good as the money they have earned for three years."

The old lady sighed and said, "Oh, you're a genius! I don't know what Chu'er will become after following you!"

The little loli quickly ran over and snuggled into the old lady's arms and said coquettishly: "Young master said earlier that you can't lose money by doing good deeds. Only by doing so can you be able to help more people!"

Zhang Zhiji said: "Mother, the servants and children of the Huang family have all seen it. Their equipment and training money can't be dealt with by the court. They can't do anything without money."

The Duke of England pondered for a long time before saying: "It is a great blessing for a good son-in-law to have great wisdom! You can do it boldly, and the Duke of England will definitely advance and retreat with you."

It was rare for the old lady to speak to Huang Sheng and said: "You have to be careful, I know that you have always wanted to kill Jian slaves to avenge your country and your family, and you can't be rash when you become a family. I don't want you to honor your ancestors, but you are safe."

It seems that such a powerful son-in-law has finally convinced the old lady, and she has begun to care about Huang Sheng's safety.

Huang Sheng quickly stood up and saluted, obediently accepting the teaching.

Since the Huang family had no elders, all the etiquette required for the marriage was handled by the British government. Huang Sheng only had to wait to marry Meijiao Niang, since the Huang family had a mansion in the inner city of the capital anyway.

Huang Sheng and Wang Zhichen's memorial to impeach Yuan Chonghuan fell into disrepair, and it was estimated that Emperor Tianqi retained him. No officials discussed the matter at all, and there was nothing the great talents could do to defeat the big fool. It seemed that Yuan Chonghuan's official career would not be eaten by the people of the capital forever.

The Wang Gongchang Grand Theater, which can accommodate 200 people, has reached the finishing stage of the project. Huang Sheng believes that since the stage can be used immediately, it is necessary to hurry up and let Lan Caier bring the crew of "Blood Fire Liaodong" to adapt sex rehearsal.

Bureaucrats in feudal society are the happiest people, and the post of the imperial court is their own welfare.

Zhang Zhiji immediately sent Huang Sheng's letter to the Tianjin Wei office of the Huang family at an urgent cost of [-] miles, the content was to inform Lan Cai'er to bring the performance team of the Huang family to the capital to prepare for the performance, and the publicity team came to put up posters at the same time. All the completed publicity vehicles will be delivered.

At the end of March, Lan Caier rushed to the capital. She was not willing to delay for a moment, and led the team to adapt to the new stage.

Huang Sheng began to think about how to operate this play. First of all, he had to recover the investment, so the ticket income for each show had to be guaranteed, tickets should be used as favors, and poor people should also be able to see such a good show.

A good show that exposes the atrocities of slavery is meaningless without the masses, and the vitality of art must be established on a broad basis of the masses before it can take root and flourish.

No ordinary person can afford such a high ticket price, Huang Sheng has a solution.

While teaching the young recruits, he assigned social practice topics, and asked the youngsters to go from house to house for an hour every day.

Five hundred educated teenagers began to walk around the streets, and they became the most popular people in the capital.

Huang Sheng plans to sell about 20 tickets for each game, the price is [-] times the price of Huangjiawan Island, [-] taels for an ordinary seat, and [-] tickets for friends and officials of the capital for free.

There are also [-] seats on the back side that do not sell tickets. Before the start of each performance, [-] representatives of good citizens of the capital who have been cleaned up by the youth of the Huang family will directly enter the theater to watch the show.

In the first few performances, if the ticket sales were not satisfactory, there was absolutely no way to empty the venue, and the Huang family quickly entered the venue and sat down to watch the show.

This kind of arrangement means that there are both money-helpers and people-helpers, and this kind of good show will not be separated from the masses. Every time I come to watch the play, I don’t know how long they will talk about it, so that the publicity will expand Only then will the common people in the capital arouse their hatred of Jiannu.

In case Jiannu still breaks into the customs in the future, there will be many more good sons of the Han family who dare to protect their wives and children with Jiannu.

The Huang family began to spread the word again. Every day, there would be a publicity team beating and bluffing through the market, and Lan Caier would often lead a team to parade in an open carriage. For a while, the topic of conversation in the streets of the capital was a big drama that was about to start on April [-]th.

In the evening, eight four-wheeled carriages with lights appeared out of nowhere on the streets of the capital. This strange thing immediately attracted countless eyeballs when it appeared at several bustling intersections.

There is also the sound of music in the carriage, there are erhu, pipa, guzheng, what else?Many ordinary people in the capital don't recognize it. It's a violin, a saxophone, and girls from the Huang family who learn musical instruments all join the propaganda team and come to the capital.

Twenty of these girls were bought in the capital in the spring of the previous year. They were very excited. Not only could they show off their talents, but they could also earn [-] taels of silver a month including food and housing.

The little girls cherished this opportunity to work at the feet of the emperor, and they showed the skills they had learned to the audience seriously.
