Master Li obviously didn't expect the official family to ask her this question, she thought for a long time and said: "The official family, the bulk transactions of the Great Song Dynasty are all traded in silver, I don't know if the official family knows?" ”

Zhao Huan nodded and said, "I naturally know that Dazai has recently minted a large number of Great Song Silver Dollars, about more than 20 million pieces, just to facilitate the common people's bulk transactions and use them on weekdays. I don't know what Li Xuanyi wants to say? ”

Master Li said with a smile: "The official family, prostitutes have been prostitutes since ancient times. Prostitutes are divided into official prostitutes on the 16th floor and civil prostitutes. These skins and flesh are settled in silver. ”

"Sweet Water Lane, which is counted as a large purchase of concubines, is the first of the sixteenth floor of the official mansion, and it is full of traffic every day in the evening, so it is not lively."

"The official family asked the concubine how she came up with the management method of Guanlan Pavilion, in fact, it was to apply the management method of this Sweet Water Lane."

"Oh? Let's talk about it. Zhao Huan glanced at Li Gang, Li Gang obviously didn't go to the Qinglou, he couldn't say why.

"When the concubine is in Sweetwater Lane, she is the top brand, that is, the Oiran."

"Because the business of Sweet Water Lane is prosperous, it can only limit customers, and there is a doorway for this limited customer, not to mention the joy of fish and water, if you want to enter this Sweet Water Lane, you have to pay five hundred taels of silver first, if you eat some wine, enjoy dancing, listen to music, and the cost of one night will be three or five hundred taels."

"When the concubines of Xuanhe came out of the cabinet in the fourth year, just to see each other, it cost more than 30,000 taels of silver."

"At that time, the first benefactor I saw was Wang Jinglong, the bird envoy of the Emperor Taishang. He spent more than 30,000 taels of silver to meet his concubine. ”

Zhao Huan asked with a little puzzlement: "Then you collect so much money, aren't you afraid that the guests will run away?" Isn't there still a prostitution building? ”

Master Li chuckled and said: "Official, I paid five hundred taels before entering the building, and it is all expenses to eat, drink, dance, and listen to music in the restaurant, if you are just looking for fun, you can't spend 30,000 taels of silver." But if you want to see Oiran, it's not a matter of money. ”

"The guest paid the entrance fee of five hundred taels of silver. And the past benefactors of Sweetwater Lane have to withdraw the brand of Sweetwater Lane to have a new brand, and it will take a long time to get the entry brand. ”

"I've waited and waited, and the money has been spent, so naturally I won't be willing to leave without enjoying anything. Therefore, most benefactors will not run. ”

Zhao Huan suddenly understood what Master Li said, which was actually a point of view in economics, called sunk cost.

Waiting for the brand is the cost of time, and the entry brand is the cost of money, these expenses are non-recoverable costs, and if there is no return, they will naturally not be reconciled.

Zhao Huan turned his head to look at the Wende Palace, looked at the brightly lit hall, and confirmed that he was in the Song Dynasty, and the woman in front of him was also a generation of famous prostitute Li Shishi.

And not the economists of later generations who are brainwashing him.

The business marketing theories in the West are actually not a new topic.

In this land, since the Qin Dynasty, the business road has been played for two thousand years, and it has long been perfected to the bones.

Master Li said with a hazy look in his eyes: "The official family is worried that the concubines are in the same stream as those ghosts, and it is understandable, what is Sweetwater Lane?" Brothel. The people I came into contact with were all over the world. But the official family misunderstood the concubine. ”

"After the concubine was found by Wang Jinglong, who was made by the bird flower, she was ordered by the emperor to leave Sweet Water Lane. It's just that the concubines came from humble backgrounds, and the emperor couldn't take the concubines into the palace and kept them outside the palace. ”

Only then did Zhao Huan realize that he seemed to have misunderstood the identity of Master Li.

That's logical!

Zhao Ji is an emperor anyway, and the woman he likes can still leave this woman in Yanliu Alley?

No wonder Zhao Huan didn't see the scandal between Master Li and those ministers in the official history, and the lover Master Li got out of prostitution since he left the cabinet.

Zhao Huan looked at Master Li and said with a smile: "Now there are two paths in front of you to go, one is to marry the Chen family, this is Chen Chong, the eldest son of the Chen family in Huaibei." The Chen family has agreed to find a man of the right age to give you the identity of a wife. ”

"The second way is to become a Shangguan and become a scholar of the Great Song Dynasty."

Master Li glanced at Li Gang resentfully, thought for a long time and said: "The official family is willing to let the concubine serve as a monk, and the concubine is grateful. ”

"Besides, the concubine has also been in Bianjing for a long time, tired, tired. Marrying into the Chen family as a daughter-in-law, the concubine was naturally happy. ”

Master Li's choice was unexpected by Zhao Huan!

This woman has always given him the impression of being scheming, and he thought that Master Li put ambergris in Li Gang's wine in order to maintain his power and status.

Li Bangyan thinks so!

From a man's point of view, naturally she can't understand her behavior, all men have misunderstood Master Li's original intention, she was just going to Li Gang.

Zhao Ji is now in power, Master Li is looking for a way out, and Li Gang is a good choice. This is very much in line with the logic of doing things.

But women do things, where is there any logic to follow.

"Then clean up and leave the palace on the sun." Zhao Huan nodded in agreement, the twisted melon, it is not sweet.

He originally wanted to give Master Li a Shangguan, but the purpose was actually to continue to set up a character for himself.

Hit out the signs that you won't treat any meritorious person badly, even if it's a woman.

The Ministry of Commerce, which is about to be established, is actually enough for the people trained by Chen Chong and Li Gang.

Master Li bowed his head and thanked him, and suddenly said: "The official family, the concubines are mostly serving the emperor in the palace, in fact, the Guanlan Pavilion has always been run by the Li family, if the official family wants to find someone with business talents, why don't you ask the Li family?" ”

"Everyone, Li? Which Lee everyone? Zhao Huan asked stunned, who is this?

Li Gang whispered: "Li Qingzhao." Official. ”

"In fact, the operation of Guanlan Pavilion was discussed by the concubines and the Li family. If the official family is really looking for someone who has a good way to make money, Li is a good choice. Master Li bowed his head and said.

"We'll discuss this later, and we'll discuss it later." When Zhao Huan heard that it was Li Qingzhao, he quickly stopped talking.

"The concubine retired." Master Li looked at the official's somewhat flustered expression, and said with a chuckle.

"Well, let's stand down." Zhao Huan pretended to be calm and waved his hand and said.

Master Li walked overnight, she didn't have many things, and she was in a hurry.

There is no curfew in Bianjing, and after Master Li left the palace, he left Bianjing City directly.

The moment she walked out of Bianjing City, she glanced back at Bianjing City, this bustling city was her past.

Some people want to go in, some people want to get out.

She showed a relaxed smile, this Bianjing City was like a cage that bound her, and now she finally left here.

The last time she left Bianjing, when the fireworks went down to Yangzhou in March, although she was gone, there was still a thread in Bianjing City to hold her.

Now that she has left Bianjing City, she is free.

Zhao Huan looked at Li Gang with a slight headache, this matter of Shangguan was Zhao Huan's head.

Why did he arrange for someone to enter the soon-to-be-established Ministry of Commerce?

The purpose is very simple, in order to control the financial power, the military needs a lot of financial support, although now the internal money is very rich, but the cannon sounds, the gold is ten thousand taels.

There are only soldiers, no money, then you will be directly lame.

Why was Shangguan accepted by Zhao Huan all of a sudden? Because this Shangguan is a minister, he can work in the outer court.

But Li Shishi did not accept Zhao Huan's appointment, and now Li Qingzhao has become a suitable candidate.

To choose or to choose?
