Chapter 477: Visiting the Flower Building

Although Hongxiuzhao has a great reputation in Chang'an, it is Chang'an after all, and there is a curfew at night, so the door is open during the day, but during the day, it is mostly for people who watch singing and dancing and listen to music. If you want to do something shameful with the girl Hongxiuzhao, you usually stay overnight and don't leave until the market opens the next morning, so you usually come in the evening.

Ye Yun is also very familiar with the fireworks land. After all, Zi Lanxuan from Tianxing is such a place. He didn't know how long he stayed in Zi Lanxuan, so he was not unfamiliar with these places. Yan Lingji knew that Ye Yun was going to Hongxiuzhao and had no other emotions. She just asked Ye Yun if he would come back in the evening and left. She had already summoned many subordinates, and it was time to attack Li Peiyan.

Hongxiuzhao was still a little far from where Ye Yun was, but Ye Yun did not travel in a carriage, nor did he have the habit of riding a horse. Therefore, he put on his cloak and walked out of Ye's mansion, strolling towards Hongxiuzhao.

When Ye Yun walked towards Hongxiuzhao, Ning Que and Sangsang on the other side also set up their first store in Chang'an, which is Lao Bizhai in the original drama. It has a place to settle down, but this place is abandoned because Zhang Yiqi wants to expand the Transportation Department.

When Ye Yun was watching a TV series, he saw Sangsang scattering paper on the ground while cleaning the shop. There were only a lot of books scattered in the shop, and there were also a piece of furniture in it. Ning Que also said that the shop seemed to have been copied and checked, but Ye Yun, who had read many historical novels, knew that this situation was impossible.

Although the ancient Tang Dynasty was very prosperous, the manufacturing industry was still underdeveloped at that time, and papermaking was still at a relatively backward stage. Therefore, the price of paper was quite high and printing was not very developed. Therefore, many books were collected by wealthy families, and the books on the market were even more expensive, and the fine products of woodblock printing were sky-high. It can be said that books are precious items that preserve their value more than gold.

In the play, Ye Yun looked at it roughly. There were six or seven books on the table just for Sangsang cleaning, and each one was very thick. Not to mention anything else, you could buy hundreds of taels of silver for these books alone.

Don’t think that this is a fool. In the third year of Chunxi, the Southern Song Dynasty (1176), the Minister of Shuzhou, Ku Kezeng, "The Great Yi Cuiyan", had a confession from the sculpture at the end of the book. According to the statistics of the confession, the cost of each book was three sanctuary and two hundred and ninety texts.

In ancient times, one thousand copper coins were Yiguan. According to the exchange rate of one tael of silver and one hundred cigarettes, Yiguan was ten taels of silver. In other words, the cost of printing "Da Yicuiyan" was more than thirty taels of silver.

How much does the store Sangsang rent cost? Fifty taels, which means they don’t have to do anything. They can earn hundreds of taels of silver by selling those books. But is this possible? Obviously it is impossible, because the books are not heavy at all. As long as the previous shop owner is not a fool, he will never leave those books. That is a waste of money.

Although there are no books in the play, Ning Que and his team can make a big profit if they can rent a shop for fifty taels. After all, this is Kyoto, and it is also the layout of the front shop and the backyard, just like in the current imperial capital, they rented a big shop in a prime location for 50,000 or 60,000 yuan a month's rent.

When Ye Yun went to Hongxiuzhao, he happened to pass by the street where Ning Que and his friends were. When he passed by the shop under Ning Que, he also saw Sangsang who was cleaning up the shop. In Ye Yun's spiritual sense, he looked just dark in his skin, and the rest were no different from ordinary people, but his body exuded a terrifying aura that made people dare not look directly at.

In order to avoid being noticed by Sangsang, who had not yet awakened, Ye Yun's spiritual consciousness just swept it away, and then pretended to be nothing, walking past the store door, and walked straight to the direction where Hongxiuzhao was. When Ye Yun used his spiritual sense to scan Sangsang, Sangsang, who was cleaning the store seriously, suddenly felt something was wrong. He felt like someone was peeping at her just now, but the next second she threw this feeling behind her, thinking that she was tired of working.

"Red sleeve trick!"

Ye Yun looked at the gate in front of him that was towering like a signboard and thought to himself that this was a place that could make all the princes and nobles in Chang'an City polite.

The general shops are built along the street, basically only one shop, and a few are front shops and back yards. After all, this is Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty, and it is also the most prosperous city of the Tang Dynasty. I don't know how many princes and nobles live here, so the land price here is also ridiculously high.

However, this Hongxiuzhao is different. It is not a simple building, but a place similar to a garden. There are all small bridges, flowing water, pavilions and towers. Being able to have such a garden in Chang'an City shows the strength of Hongxiuzhao.

Hongxiuzhao is so famous that many talented scholars, princes and nobles often come in and out. However, although the door of Hongxiuzhao is open, not everyone dares to enter. If you don’t have some money in your pocket, you dare not enter. It is a veritable cave of consumer finance.

There will be many women at the entrance of the ordinary flower building or on the second floor, waving to the passing men with charming smiles, but there is no one to welcome guests at the gate of Hongxiuzhao. Therefore, Ye Yun walked in smoothly. After passing through the quiet bamboo forest path, an elegant building suddenly appeared in front of him. There were two very clever men at the door of the building, standing there with a respectful look on their faces.

As soon as Ye Yun walked to the door, the man on the right bowed and said respectfully to Ye Yun: "This young man is a little jealous. I wonder if it's the first time I've come to me for Hongxiuzhao?"

Ye Yun nodded and said, "It's my first time here, but I'm here at the invitation. Oh, by the way, my name is Ye Yun."

The man on the left heard Ye Yun's words and bent his waist lowered and said respectfully: "It turns out that the prince, Ye Jue Ye, had already given instructions, saying that Ye Jue Ye would come later, and said that we would definitely recognize him as long as we see him. Jue Ye is indeed a dragon and phoenix among people. Let's take Jue upstairs."

Ye Yun nodded and walked in after one of the men.

Following the man into the building, bypassing the huge screen opposite the door, the sight of a place similar to the hall, but there were no seats in the hall, and only a group of people sitting on the ground were drinking while watching the woman dancing with the red sleeves.

In the hall, there are people who don’t have much money or like lively, singing and dancing. Generally, people with status and status will find a private room alone, find a familiar girl to be closed and appreciate it alone, and if they are in love, they can still do something shameful.

The banquet that Li Peiyan set up was on the second floor, so the man took Ye Yun through the crowd and walked up the second floor from the stairs next to him, which immediately attracted the attention of many people in the hall. After all, not everyone can go up the second floor of Hongxiuzhao.
