Chapter 101 Starting from the bottom

The madam is just smiling.
Since the master of Liuli is in his hands, he will naturally do whatever he does.
"How much does the curtain-blocking ceremony have been harvested in a year?" Gu Liubai immediately asked a very practical question.
The madam looked at Gu Liubai and said seriously: "The boss respects me so much. How can I know how much harvest the curtain siege can produce in a year? I only know the income of the curtain siege in Youzhou."
Gu Liubai said: "Then you should be considered the shopkeeper of Youzhou? How much does it take to harvest in Youzhou in a year?"
The brothel thought that the words of the shopkeeper of Youzhou were interesting, so she said seriously: "All items are about 150,000 guan."
"So much?" Gu Liubai almost sprayed her face with a mouthful of tea.
The annual salary of the fourth and fifth rank officials of the Tang Dynasty is only about 8,000 guan!
Is the business of making money so big?
"The business in Youzhou is mainly about the rent of some shops, jade and bronze ware." The brothel said modestly: "The business harvest of curtain rituals in large cities such as Luoyang in Chang'an should be much higher than that in Youzhou."
“…!”
Gu Liubai was speechless to the sky.
It turns out that the rich man is me?
"In Youzhou alone, how many guan can I withdraw in a year?" He calmed down and asked.
"The accounts of the three bosses are calculated separately." The madam explained with a smile: "If you want to withdraw all of them, it will not be less than 40,000 guan in that year. If you don't withdraw, then it will still be included in your share. According to my business, 40,000 guan is invested in various industries, and at least two or three thousand guan a year will be released."
"Can you spend more money on your own bag?" Gu Liubai's first thought was that he really didn't lack money now. The second thought was, could he invest more money that others respected him and make money. After all, the other two owners of the Curtain-Closing Dharma Assembly must be of great significance. The business of making money is extremely guaranteed.
Facing the boss, the brothel was in awe, but when she heard him say this, she was able to be amused by him.
The corners of her mouth were unconsciously raised.
"There is no such statement. I guess the three bosses didn't think about filling in more money at that time, and if they wanted to make money, they didn't need to go through this source." She looked at Gu Liubai and said, "Then you just need to invest the extra money into some money houses or other industries under the Dharma Assembly, and you can omit the consumption of unnecessary links."
City can play!
Gu Liubai was in a heavy mood and thought that he seemed to be a little too young in front of those three original owners.
These questions are indeed a bit redundant.
"Only the master order can be recognized by the master order of a specific curtain siege, and you can naturally keep accounts and withdraw them at any time when you come to me, but if you are not a storekeeper, others will not recognize them." The madam knew that Gu Liubai knew nothing, so she took the initiative to mention: "The biggest function of the master order is that its owner will have many privileges in the curtain siege."
Gu Liubai immediately asked humbly, "What are the privileges?"
"Often any owner of a curtain order can submit an application for attending a curtain meeting. If you gather eight people, you can arrange a curtain meeting, but they have no right to decide the specific start time of the curtain meeting. This master order can be done." The madam smiled and said, "If you want to participate in the next curtain meeting arranged here, but the time is not coincidental, if you can't come back elsewhere, then you can postpone the curtain meeting, or you will say in advance the specific time of the next curtain meeting."
"The boss designated the start time, and the shopkeeper is responsible for the execution." Gu Liubai immediately concluded.
The madam covered her mouth and chuckled, "It's simple and clear to the boss say this. Even if there has been a table of people to eat, the boss will have to say that they can serve the food before they can serve it."
"What else?" Gu Liubai thought for a while. According to his mother's temper, the privileges that this master ordered were definitely not limited to this.
"You can participate in any curtain-covering ceremony." The madam's eyes circulated. "At the curtain-covering ceremony, if there is someone you don't like, you can also let him get out on the spot. You can even directly take back the token of this person so that this person will never be able to participate in the curtain-covering ceremony again."
"This is OK." Gu Liubai also laughed, kicking someone if he wanted to.
"At that time, the three bosses said that this was called supervision power." The madam said: "In addition, the three bosses also have the right to recommend and can sponsor some people to enter the curtain ritual. For example, this curtain ritual must be a member of the Dharma Assembly above the copper token to be qualified to participate, but through the sponsorship of this boss, even members who have just joined the association are qualified to participate."
Gu Liubai frowned slightly and said, "This is the right to promote the situation."
The brothel covered his mouth and smiled again, saying, "That's true."
Gu Liubai was very satisfied, "What a wonderful thing!"
He drank the tea in his glass like a good wine, looked at the brothel who continued to pour tea for himself, and asked softly: "Then this curtain-covering Dharma Assembly is so confidential. Is my boss qualified to know who are the members participating in the curtain-covering Dharma Assembly?"
"This is the foundation of the curtain ritual, and the three bosses will not move." The madam said seriously: "The boss only assigned the shopkeeper's business, and the shopkeeper obeyed the boss's command, but we are not involved in this confidentiality matter. The reviewer of the qualification to join the club said it was Master Xuanqing, but in fact, Master Xuanqing did not read the relevant information of all the members of the club, but only sealed them all. Unless this person later did something to damage the curtain ritual, Master Xuanqing would open the sealed case file and call out the person's true identity with at least three shopkeepers present. At that time, the curtain ritual will naturally notify all members of the Dharma Assembly and make him apart."
“…!”
Gu Liubai immediately felt that this was an amazing organization, but it was also a very terrifying organization.
Once someone’s true identity is exposed, it will be really not fun.
But the only thing that is fortunate is that since his mother arranged for him to come here to meet, it means that the madam in front of her should be a reliable shopkeeper?
"I haven't asked for advice yet." Gu Liubai felt that he had to have a good relationship with this shopkeeper.
The madam first showed a bright and charming smile, and then said seriously: "The boss can call me Yu Dao Niang or Yu Xuanji."
Gu Liubai was slightly stunned and said, "Are you a Kundao who has officially entered the Taoist ancestry?"
Yu Xuanji nodded and said, "I am in Taiping Temple, Yangzhou."
Gu Liubai thoughtfully and said, "Then we should get closer in the future."
Yu Xuanji didn't know that "closeness" was Zhou Lu'er's catchphrase. She thought the boy was very interesting. "The last curtain-covering ceremony was originally scheduled for seven days. If the boss had an idea and didn't want to wait, he could be in advance."
"If you are in advance, when is the fastest?" Gu Liubai was thinking in his heart, the faster the better. After experiencing this kind of curtain-covering method once or twice, the process will naturally become familiar.
"If you start making arrangements now, the fastest will be tomorrow afternoon." Yu Xuanji bit her lip lightly and looked at the boy in front of her with a teasing look, "Does the boss want to make such arrangements?"
"If it's convenient, then tomorrow afternoon."
Gu Liubai seemed not affected by her teasing. After saying this, he thought of an important thing, "By the way, this curtain-covering Dharma Assembly is so secret. How do you usually notify and contact the participants of the Dharma Assembly?"
Yu Xuanji looked at the boy who was not affected at all and was a little surprised.
Suddenly, she was shocked and knew that she had made a huge mistake invisibly.
I actually felt contempt because of this young man's age and his lack of knowledge about the curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly.
What kind of person are the three bosses? The young man who came with this token, no matter how young she is, can she easily touch and test?
While her thoughts were still flashing, although she still had a smile on her face, her tone became obviously cautious. "The curtain-blocking Dharma Assembly is a formal Buddhist temple Dharma Assembly. The method meetings in various places will be announced in the Buddhist temple. Members of the Dharma Assembly who want to participate in the Dharma Assembly can report it at any Buddhist temple. As for the time change of the Dharma Assembly, they will also be announced in all Buddhist temples. These Dharma Assembly members are either rich or noble, so they naturally have a way to know it as soon as possible."
Gu Liubai was stunned.
This is a great move.
What is absolutely secret is actually to publicly convey the information of the Dharma Assembly.
The shopkeeper of Youzhou is a Taoist nun.
But all the people who help manage and convey the news of the Dharma Assembly are Buddhist temples.
Yu Xuanji knew that Gu Liubai must have another problem, so she took the initiative to say, "After the time for the Dharma Assembly is set, the members who want to attend the Dharma Assembly only need to go to any Buddhist temple in advance. The Buddhist temple will naturally arrange a carriage and deliver it to the location I designated."
"Will there be no situation of identity exposure in this process?" Gu Liubai couldn't help but ask.
Yu Xuanji said seriously: "The staff we arranged are reliable, but the participants will naturally disguise themselves, making it impossible to identify their identity. The last link is that if someone dares to spy on the identity of these people during the process of participating in the Dharma Assembly, then shopkeepers like me will use the power of the Dharma Assembly and even provide rewards to allow all participants in the Dharma Assembly to deal with those who dare to spy on their identities."
Gu Liubai was silent for a while and said, "Then if my boss wants to spy on their identity, he will be dealt with by everyone?"
"No one knows that you are the boss." Yu Xuanji looked at Gu Liubai and said calmly, "Even if I know you are the boss now, if you leave this door, no one will know that you are the boss."
"This is fair." Gu Liubai sighed, "It is probably because of three bosses."
Yu Xuanji smiled and said, "I guess there are no three bosses, so this curtain-covering ceremony cannot be completed."
"Then I want to attend tomorrow's curtain-covering ceremony and go to the Buddhist temple to report?" Gu Liubai got back to the topic.
Yu Xuanji shook her head and said, "Since the boss decides to participate, then come to me directly. I will arrange the location of this curtain-covering ceremony directly with me."
Gu Liubai thought for a while and said, "So even if the rest of the people were sent here, you may not be receiving them personally. The pilgrims don't know that you will have anything to do with this curtain-covering method?"
"The venues arranged at the curtain sanctuary are different at each time. Those pilgrims will only feel that the curtain sanctuary uses this place as the venue for the Dharma Assembly and will not be associated with me."
Yu Xuanji nodded seriously and said seriously: "So, after leaving this door, I also asked my boss to help me keep this secret. Over the years, there has been no precedent for the identity of the Great Shopkeeper of the Curtain Mage Association to be revealed. I don't know what kind of result will be caused if the identity of the Great Shopkeeper of the Curtain Mage Association is revealed, but it will be very terrible."
Gu Liubai knew the terribleness of such an organization. He nodded and said, "This is natural."
"Don't expose your brands to others to the sight of others." Yu Xuanji smiled bitterly: "If you hadn't taken out your boss' token, just the way you used the pilgrim card to test it, I might have to secretly inform the other shopkeepers and try to deal with you together. They will secretly capture you. These pilgrims in the cover-up Dharma Assembly are all figures with great backgrounds, and the Dharma Assembly does not know the grudges between them. Never let people know your code name in the Dharma Assembly."
Gu Liubai nodded and said, "If I leave Youzhou and go to Chang'an, can you give me a list of shopkeepers like you along the way?"
"How could I have it?" Yu Xuanji subconsciously covered her chest and said in fear: "To be honest, I was shocked when you appeared in front of me with the silver token. Because our identity is also an absolute secret."
Gu Liubai frowned, "So you don't know who the other shopkeepers are, so I can only get in touch with you, the shopkeeper?"
"It is very easy for the boss to contact other shopkeepers. Just show the owner's order at the local Buddhist temple report office. The head of the Buddhist temple report office there will naturally notify the big shopkeeper there to contact you. The head of the Buddhist temple report office does not know what this kind of master order means, but according to their work procedures, they will report to Master Xuanqing, and Master Xuanqing will make arrangements. Of course, if you are in Chang'an, you can go directly to Master Xuanqing. When he sees the master's order, he can arrange any big shopkeeper wherever you want to see."
"Just..." Yu Xuanji said this, glanced at Gu Liubai, and stopped talking.
Gu Liubai had already seen what she meant and said, "Don't you think the other shopkeepers are as worthy of my trust as you?"
"I don't know them. I just thought that since you don't know anything about the cloaking Dharma, but this master asked the previous master to ask you to come to me with it, it naturally means that I know that I am worthy of trusting." Yu Xuanji said: "If the boss thinks that others may not be safe in doing things, then I naturally think you should still be careful. If you can't think of a problem, it's better to see Master Xuanqing first."
Gu Liubai knew that the two of them had the same idea.
He pondered for a moment and said, "Then you should be able to get me an ordinary token first?"
Yu Xuanji said: "This is certainly possible, and it is used to participate in the curtain-blocking ceremony, which is more secure."
Chapter completed!
