Wei Yang raised his head and drank all the wine in the cup, then picked up the wine jug and poured himself a glass, and then said: "Ziqian should know how to open the Chinese method, right?" ”

Xu Jin nodded, "Kaizhong Law" is a good law for the Ming Dynasty to solve the food supply of the garrisons in border towns, and it is actually a good governance for the country to retreat and the people to advance, and to benefit the people. In his previous life, Xu Jin had learned about the Chinese method when he read the "History of the Ming Dynasty", and since he joined the household department, he has carefully studied this method, so he is very familiar with it.

Wei Yang sighed and said: "Since the third year of Hongwu, my dynasty has implemented the method of opening up the central government, and the results have been remarkable, and it has provided sufficient food to the major border towns in the north. It is a pity that today, Kaizhongfa has existed in name only, and merchants from all over the country only need to pay silver to the salt transportation department to obtain salt guides, so naturally there are no merchants to transport grain to the border towns. Those salt merchants sharpened their heads one by one, and asked the road door to find connections, the purpose was to obtain salt introduction, and the salt transportation division became a hot sweetheart. ”

Xu Jin's heart moved: "Could it be that this Oiran Contest is related to salt introduction?" ”

Wei Yang nodded and said: "Two Huai and two Zhejiang are the largest salt producing places in my Ming Dynasty, and the Yangzhou Salt Transportation Division sends 800,000 salt imports every year, all of which are divided by Jin merchants, Hui merchants and Fujian merchants. The Jin merchants had a large share and had always taken a large share, followed by the Hui merchants, while the Fujian merchants had the smallest share. Due to the uneven distribution, the three major merchant gangs inevitably fought openly and secretly, and there were even bloody incidents of armed fights. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but say with a strange look on his face: "So the government plans to decide the distribution of salt through the Oiran Competition?" It's an ingenious idea! ”

The method was proposed by the three major merchant gangs through consultation, and the government naturally did not want to have a civil unrest under its rule, so it acquiesced. The representative of the Jin merchants is Wang Luzhu of the Cui Building, the representative of the Hui merchants is Wang Cuiqiao of the Xiuchun Building, and the representative of the Min merchants is a rookie, whose name is Dongye Lily, and it is estimated that there is something extraordinary, otherwise the Fujian merchants would not be able to launch the competition for the Oiran. ”

Xu Jin said with interest: "The surname Dongye is rare, by the way, how is the Oiran Contest compared?" How is the distribution of salt introduced? ”

Wei Yang shook his head and said: "I don't know the specific rules, but it's nothing more than appearance, talent, popularity, and wealth." As for the share of salt, it is said that the one who gets the oiran has 60 percent, the second one has 30 percent, and the second one has 10 percent. ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but suddenly said: "It turns out that the difference between each other is so big, in order to win the Oiran, it is not surprising that some people take risks, Wang Cuiqiao was kidnapped today, it is indeed possible that it was a competitor." ”

Wei Yang said with emotion: "The wrestling between the powerful giants in the three places involves complex interests, and several weak women were pushed to the front of the stage, which seems to be infinitely beautiful, but in fact it is on the cusp of the storm, and it is strange that they can end up in a good situation."

It is said that Miss Cuiqiao plans to retire after the Oiran Contest, and Xu Dong, the behind-the-scenes boss of Xiuchun Building, also agrees to give her back her freedom, provided that she wins the Oiran Contest.

Wang Cuiqiao is a smart and kind good girl, but it's a pity that she has fallen into the dust, and she wants to get out of the country without a backer, which is a little whimsical, if Ziqian is convenient, she might as well pull her. ”

Xu Jin smiled: "Could it be that Senior Brother is interested in Miss Cuiqiao?" If that's the case, I don't mind if jade becomes a good thing. ”

Wei Yang hurriedly said solemnly: "Ziqian, don't speculate, although Miss Cuiqiao is beautiful, and she is a rare strange woman in the world, but senior brother, I only have the intention of appreciation, and I have no covetousness." ”

Xu Jin had to dispel the idea of matchmaking, the senior brother is a humble gentleman who is consistent on the outside, he fell in love with auspiciousness at first sight, and immediately took down the jade flute and played a song, now since he said that he had no intention of Wang Cuiqiao, it must be unintentional, so he diverted the topic and said: "Wang Cuiqiao This woman is indeed peerless, if there is no one in terms of appearance, but it is a bit too much to call it a rare strange woman in the world?" ”

Wei Yang smiled and said: "Senior Brother Xu, if a woman's ambition is to travel around the world, perform and collect styles, and compose and sing music with one mind, do you think this is a strange woman?" ”

Xu Jin couldn't help but be moved: "Wang Cuiqiao's ideal is to travel around the world and become a generation of singers? ”

"Singing everyone? This title is unheard of, but it is quite appropriate, and Miss Cuiqiao does deserve the title of singer. ”

Wei Yang continued leisurely: "I have been in Yangzhou for almost two years, but I have also seen Miss Cuiqiao a few times, last year's Oiran Contest was held in Suzhou, Miss Cuiqiao with a self-created song "Red Bean Song", won the Oiran in one fell swoop, the song is simply ...... The aftermath of March is still in my ears.

After the Oiran Competition, Senior Brother and I were touched by Tang Yin's light, and I was fortunate to sit at the same table with Miss Cuiqiao. At that time, someone asked Miss Cui Qiao what she would do if she was free, and she replied: Travel the world, compose and sing music. Now I think back to the look in her eyes when she spoke...... It makes us and other men with eyebrows ashamed. Ziqian thinks that such a woman should not be a strange woman in the world? ”

"Absolutely!" Xu Jin nodded sincerely.

In the feudal society where male power is supreme, women have always been subordinate to men, following their fathers at home, marrying their husbands, and their husbands and sons.

Especially those Qinglou women who eat youthful meals, after they are old and decrepit, which one is not in a hurry to find a lover to rely on and pray for a stable second half of their lives? Like Wang Cuiqiao, the one who wants to wander around after letting go is really an anomaly!

You must know that in ancient times, there was no such thing as copyright patents, there was no profit driven, if it was not for the great enthusiasm for singing, how could a weak woman have the courage and perseverance to wander around and engage in songwriting?

Not to mention that in ancient times when transportation was backward and safety was not guaranteed, even in modern times, how many female singers would go to wander to create and purely pursue art? Therefore, if Wang Cuiqiao really travels and writes songs after she is released, she will definitely be a great woman in the world, and it is not impossible to become a generation of singers. Of course, it may be greater to become the wife of a certain thief, and Cai and Li, who pursue "poetry and distance", are a lesson from the past.

Wei Yang raised his glass and drank it all again, his white and handsome face was already red at this time, and most of the pot of Huadiao wine was drunk by him, obviously intentionally seeking to get drunk.

"Ziqian, I'm going to get married!" After instructing Xiao Er to serve another pot of wine, Wei Yang said with a hint of drunkenness.

Xu Jin was also slightly drunk at this time, and said when he heard this: "Then congratulations to the senior brother, I don't know whose daughter it is?" When is the wedding? I'm also going to prepare a congratulatory gift. ”

"Kunshan Mao family, the eldest granddaughter of Master Mao Chengmao, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites!"

Xu Jin couldn't help but smile bitterly in his heart, Mao Cheng can be said to be his sworn enemy, but the marriage between the Wei family and the Mao family is normal, Wei Hanwen, the right attendant of the Ministry of Industry, is Yang Tinghe's protégé, and Mao Cheng is also Yang Dang, and the two can be regarded as a good match.
