At 3:30 in the evening, night falls.
The Qujiang Lake is still brightly lit.
There are many wine shops and brothels here, and merchants and officials like to come here for fun.
The tallest and brightest building is Tianxiang Tower.
Tianxiang Tower has three unique features. The first is the scenery.
Tianxiang Tower has seven floors and is about ten feet high. It is the tallest of all the buildings in Qujiang Lake.
From the top of the building, you can see the prosperous scenes of Qujiang Lake and even Luodu.
The second is the taste.
The chef in charge of the cooking in this building is the junior brother of the imperial chef of the current dynasty, and his cooking skills are superb.
In addition, the ingredients are also top-notch, and everyone who has tasted them is eager to come.
The third is the beauty.
The women in the building are all"thin horses" in the Jianghuai area, with faces like lotus flowers emerging from the water and waists like weak willows swaying in the wind.
And not only are they beautiful, but they are also very talented, and are proficient in piano, chess, calligraphy and painting.
Liu Shishi, who is known as the most beautiful woman in Jianghuai, is said to be as beautiful as a fairy, and everyone who sees her will fall in love with her.
However, these are all courtesans, and you can't become their guest by paying money.
In order to be welcomed by them, you must use all your tricks.
In this way, countless men's competitive spirit has been aroused, making it more popular.
Under the three wonders, countless dignitaries gathered here, enjoying sensual pleasures and singing every night.
Tianxianglou gradually gained the reputation of"the first building in Luodu".
Although Wang Xuan is also one of the dignitaries, this is really his first time here.
When Tianxianglou opened, he was invited, but at that time he was busy licking Chu Siyan, so he ignored it.
Thinking about it now, I regret it a little, and I want to slap myself.
Bucktooth Su greeted Wang Xuan to the top floor.
A figure leaned against the railing and looked out, and turned back after hearing the sound of the door opening.
When he saw Wang Xuan, he laughed immediately:
"Long time no see! Brother Xuan!"
Wang Xuan showed a barely perceptible smile on his face. Although he already knew who he was, he still frowned and pretended to be puzzled:
"Who are you......"
"You don't remember me? It's me! Third brother!" The man pretended to be angry.
Wang Xuan pretended to be enlightened:"You are Third Brother......"Your Highness, the King of Wu?"
The man with a mustache leaning against the railing and pretending to be cool was none other than the third son of the late emperor, the King of Wu, Ying Ziyue, who was granted the title of King of Jianghuai when he came of age.
"Calling him Your Highness the King of Wu is too strange. Brother Xuan, just call me Third Brother! Come, sit down and drink and eat!"
Ying Ziyue came over and took Wang Xuan's arm and sat down, pretending to be very familiar with him.
In fact, the two of them had not met many times, and when they were young in the palace, the King of Wu often bullied him with other princes, saying that he was a bastard without a mother.
The relationship was not good, and it could even be said to be somewhat bad.
Such hypocritical behavior was really funny in Wang Xuan's eyes.
"These are the dishes I specially asked the kitchen to make, they are all your favorites"
"And this wine, it's twenty-year-old girl's red wine, you can't get it outside."
Ying Ziyue was more attentive.
Wang Xuan accepted everything, eating and drinking.
It must be said that the dishes made by the imperial chefs were good, comparable to some of the top restaurants in his previous life.
Girl's red wine was also good, refreshing and sweet, it was indeed a rare good wine.
During the meal, Ying Ziyue kept complaining, saying that his palace's crops were poor, and the caravans that went out to sea suffered heavy losses due to a hurricane, and almost the whole palace had to sleep on the streets.
Wang Xuan kept responding, expressing sympathy and understanding in his words, and from time to time advised him to think more positively.
After three rounds of wine, seeing that Wang Xuan was still unable to get to the point, Ying Ziyue finally lost his temper:
"Brother Xuan, you have to help me, your third brother, this time!"
"Third brother, you are joking. How can I help?"
"Didn’t you buy a bet of two hundred thousand taels outside the training ground before?"
"Oh! I remember now, that's what happened?"
"I made this bet for fun, but I didn't expect my kid to be ignorant and get the odds wrong.......Can you please give me this money for my third brother's sake?......"
"I understand. Third brother has no money now, right?"Wang Xuan pretended to be enlightened.
"Right, right, right!" Ying Ziyue's eyes lit up.
"Well, this money......Third brother can give it to me a few days later, I am not in a hurry."
Ying Ziyue's smile froze. He had said it so clearly, was Wang Xuan really stupid or just pretending to be stupid?
He decided not to waste any more time:
"I'll be frank. Here are 200,000 taels of silver notes. I'll give you another 200,000 taels of silver notes. We're even."
Ying Ziyue slapped the 400,000 taels of silver notes on the table.
He was very confident that his conditions were already very generous.
Based on his understanding of this silly brother, he should accept it.
Wang Xuan's smile disappeared and his face became calm:
"Your Highness, King Wu, are you going to default on your debt?"
The atmosphere suddenly cooled down when the address changed from"Third Brother" to"King Wu".
Ying Ziyue didn't care and said with a relaxed smile:
"How could that be? Your 200,000 taels of silver are here, and I will give you an extra 200,000 taels."
"It doubled in less than a day. You should be satisfied with such good conditions."
He asked Wang Xuan to come over to talk in a nice way, because he didn't want to make things difficult for him. After all, they would meet again in the future.
If it was someone else, he would have defaulted on the debt long ago, and he wouldn't even want to pay back the principal.
If Wang Xuan didn't know what was good for him, at most he would report it to the emperor, which would make him embarrassed and get him scolded.
What could he do?
Seeing Ying Ziyue's unscrupulous look, Wang Xuan laughed:
"Hahaha!!!"
Ying Ziyue was startled by the laughter and became a little annoyed:
"What are you laughing at?"
Wang Xuan restrained his smile and said calmly:
"Sorry, I just think what His Royal Highness the King of Wu said is too funny."
Ying Ziyue was about to explode, but Wang Xuan's next words made him pale with fear in an instant:
"It is said that.....Your Highness opened a bank, right?"
"Where did you get the news?"Ying Ziyue's eyes flashed with panic.
This matter was very secretive, and he had not told anyone.
Especially since it involved some secrets, if the emperor knew about it, he would lose his head.
How could Wang Xuan know?
Is there a traitor?
"Your Highness, it seems that the rumors are true!"Wang Xuan smiled.
Yingzi became more silent, his expression uncertain.
After a while, he slowly said:
"I really don't have four million taels now. Give me two years, I won't default on the debt."
This time he was telling the truth.
The bank was still in its infancy and had to spend money everywhere. It had four million taels, but taking it out would definitely hurt its bones and even bankrupt it.
Wang Xuan shook his head. Ying Ziyue's expression was stern:"What do you want? Don't go too far. When the time comes, it will be a fight to the death and no one will benefit!"
He thought Wang Xuan was greedy and wanted more after finding a handle.
Wang Xuan said calmly:"Four million taels are not wanted by this prince, just consider it as my share!"
Ying Ziyue was stunned:"Do you know what my bank does?"
Wang Xuan certainly knew that this bank was Ying Ziyue's reliance on the throne, and it would become the world's number one bank in the future. The money it accumulated was more than the national treasury, and it controlled half of Daqian's economy and various important intelligence. It was with his help that Lin An's Qiufenglou became the world's number one killer organization, which was feared by everyone.
If he controlled the world's banks, he would definitely be able to plunder a lot of Lin An's luck.
Of course he couldn't miss it.
"Of course I know, money houses are all about making money!"Wang Xuan pretended to be careless.
"Is the Zhenbei Palace still short of money?"
"" Who would complain about having too much money?" Wang Xuan said with a smile.
It seems that Wang Xuan really doesn't know the details of Tianxia Money House. It is estimated that the news about Tianxia Money House was also learned by accident.
Since Wang Xuan wants to get involved, then let him do it!
In this way, the Zhenbei Palace may also be able to be used by himself!
Hahaha!
Thinking of this, Ying Ziyue felt more and more happy.
After weighing the pros and cons, he smiled and said,"In this case, I am willing to give up 10% of the business shares of Tianxia Money House. How about it?"
Wang Xuan shook his head:"70%!"
Ying Ziyue's face changed:"Impossible!"
If 70% is really given, does Tianxia Money House have to be named Wang?
"At most 20%!"
"70%"
"Thirty percent!"
"70%"
"40%! This is my bottom line!"Ying Ziyue's eyes were red, as if he was choosing someone to bite.
Wang Xuan smiled slightly and held his hand:
"make a deal!"
