Chapter 310 Three-level standards of heaven, earth and people

On the third day of November, there are dark clouds in the sky.

Early in the morning, it was dark from the daytime and the drizzle fell, causing the people on the streets of Bianliang City to walk with umbrellas. From time to time, you can see pedestrians falling on the road.

Fortunately, during our intense construction period, the weather was always clear, and at most it was just a little cold wind. Otherwise, once it rained, many things would be difficult to do, such as painting, installing window paper paste, etc.

The reason why we are so anxious to work is not just because we want to open the "Mengqiu Tower" as soon as possible, but because there is a beautiful young woman next to me who can watch the celestial phenomena at night. It was because Jeon Miyan calculated that there will be several days of rain today, so we are eager to build the "Mengqiu Tower".

Now it seems that my future wife and sister are still so powerful. Not only can you see the celestial phenomena on the top of Essay Island, but also the starry sky above the head of the Song Dynasty is her territory.

The opening time of "Mengqiu Tower" was chosen tonight. If we had the conditions, we wanted to choose when the weather was dry. However, Sister Quan said that in the next five days, we should not think of seeing the blue sky, so we simply went to the next night of the complete decoration in advance.

The architectural style and standards of the "Mengqiu Tower" of the Song Dynasty were planned by my sister when she was on the Heiyi Island.

Unlike me who can draw a tiger into a small cat, the elegant and outstanding girl has excellent painting talent. She has learned it very well whether it is Xiaoxuan's mother's ink painting method or Lauren's father's ink painting method. For example, the "Mengqiu Tower" in Liaoyang Prefecture is a masterpiece designed by her sister.

Considering that the land that can be bought in the capital of the Song Dynasty would definitely not be too large, this time my sister did not work hard on many small buildings, but reduced the number of small buildings and increased the number of floors of small buildings, making it into four five-story buildings of the same size.

If you are in Japan, three-story building may be the peak of ordinary buildings.

However, the Song Dynasty had great land and vast resources. The craftsmen had outstanding abilities, so five-story buildings were visible everywhere in Bianliang City.

Especially after decades of rest and recuperation, the craftsmen gathered in Bianliang City have honed their skills and their craftsmanship is extremely superb. They use materials such as stones, iron bars, golden nanmu, and various techniques, making even small buildings that look more than five feet tall are as stable as Mount Tai.

Although the size is similar, the styles of the small building are completely different. One is in the Japanese style, the other is in the Daliao style, the other is in the Jurchen style on the Longduan Mountains grassland, and the last is in the Dasong style.

When designing, my sister used a lot of imagination. It sounded different from the original national style, but after careful craftsmen, the construction effect was very good, either mysterious, rough, beautiful, or elegant.

If you stand in the open space in the center of four small buildings during the day, that wonderful appreciation will make people feel interesting, and it is not impossible to be poetic.

Since there is also a river next to Xiaotianshui Lane, my sister asked the craftsmen to lure the river in. The river water is winding around four small buildings, making it a cycle. It also cooperates with the appreciation habits of the Song people, plant lotus flowers, aquatic plants, and put various fish. Since there are many large and small fires that can be lit at night, there are no need to worry that the river will be cold and freezing.

Anyone who has seen four small buildings says that "Mengqiu Tower" is a very unique scenery, not the most beautiful in Bianliang City, but it definitely has its own style. Not only Uncle Zhao, Hu Yanming and others nodded in praise. Even after Zhao Xingyue begged me to bring her over, she praised her endlessly. By the way, she also had a great conversation with two beautiful sisters, and soon became a friend of handkerchiefs.

Even officials at the Daliao State Post Station five streets were moved and came to see the small buildings that were said to have the Daliao flavor.

After seeing this, several envoys and officials of the Great Liao Kingdom were so excited that they shed tears on the spot, saying that this was the taste of their hometown, and actively requested that four tables of banquets be arranged for them on the day of opening to comfort their homesickness.

As for the price...

We are determined to be higher than in Liaoyang Prefecture. The three levels of heaven, earth, and man are needed. The human level requires 888 taels of gold per table, the earth level is 1888 taels of gold per table, and the heaven level is 3888 taels of gold per table.

Such a high price is not something we just booked.

Because the price level of Bianliang City is much higher than that of Liaoyang Prefecture, especially the higher the place, the more money it costs.

In other words, it is easy to have a full stomach, but if you want to enjoy it, you have to spend a lot of money.

For example, in Liaoyang Prefecture, an ordinary red girl, that is, three taels of gold, the most popular ones, the rewards for one night, tea surrounds, and overnight subsidies, at most one hundred taels of gold. The most popular girl and her maids will definitely serve you to death, making you shout that the money is worth spending.

But in Bianliang City, the friends who have seen the prosperous brothels in the past few days were all sad, and almost all the money in their purses were emptied.

Moreover, although they went to the top ten brothels and top ten flower shops, they all looked for some of the most ordinary red girls. Even though their quality was much better than that of the average brothels outside, the price was so painful that they could not get it. They were 100 taels of gold every night, and they could not take it down at all.

In this way, the girls also looked for granted, not very enthusiastic at all.

I heard that among the top ten brothels and top ten flower shops, the highest-end girls usually have a golden gold of 800 taels a night. When it comes to competition, it is not surprising that three or five thousand taels of gold.

Not to mention the amount of money, it depends on the other person's mood. Once you are unhappy, you will leave after drinking tea and chatting, and you will not give face to the financial owners at all.

But that's it. The more than 100 most popular girls in the twenty brothels and flower shops were the most favored by men. They came over with a naughty look, without any dignity.

As soon as I heard about this, my price suddenly soared to the current standard.

Damn it!

If you play with women all night, you can be equal to the value of a delicious dish that my family has worked hard to make.

How much effort did we spend to get these precious ingredients?

No matter how precious it is, is it much more precious than the false intentions of those girls?

Facts proved my thoughts.

The envoys at the Liao Kingdom Post Station took a look at the three standards of "Mengqiu Tower", asked about the dishes and wine contained in it, and then tasted the "hero blood" personally. Without saying a word, they ordered an expensive four-table ground-level banquet.

Although the envoys all have their own backgrounds, I was still a little stunned by such generous actions.

I didn't know at first, but later I asked Hu Yanming that the envoys of the Liao Kingdom in the Song Dynasty were a group of people who were so fat.

The Great Liao Kingdom gave them not much salary, but in order to show their friendship with the Great Liao Kingdom, the Great Song Kingdom gave them subsidies ranging from 1,000 to 10,000 taels of gold every month. As well as ordinary soldiers and small officials, there were subsidies ranging from dozens to hundreds of taels of taels of food, clothing, housing and use.

The most important income is not just this. These noble envoys from the Liao Kingdom who came to the Song Dynasty all had a relationship with the Liao generals on the border. Many of the things sold by the merchants of the Song Dynasty were matched by them to pay some benefits, so that they could avoid taxes and secretly enter the Liao Kingdom.

With this introduction fee alone, each of these envoys has tens of thousands of dollars and tens of thousands of taels of gold recorded every month, which is a waste of money.

In Bianliang Prefecture, this is the same situation, and there are many third-rank or above officials from the Song Dynasty.

Their super generous salary is one aspect, and on the other hand, every household has a caravan, and they go to various places and even overseas to do business. The minimum monthly amount is more than 100,000 taels of gold, and the most are millions of taels of gold.

Even Zhao Wude said proudly that at least two-thirds of all the wealth in this world was concentrated in the Song Dynasty, and at least half of the wealth of the Song Dynasty was concentrated in Bianliang. We chose to open the "Mengqiu Tower" in Bianliang Prefecture, which was the most correct decision.

Uncle Zhao has been eating my delicious food these days, and he is full of oil. Even Zhao Xingyue said that it is all because the food we made is so delicious that she has gained a little weight.

Every day I give three tables of banquets to the Eight Virtues Palace. I didn’t expect that even if it was so rare, even Zhao Xingyue could eat every meal, which made me feel a little doubt about her identity.

But after thinking about it, I won’t go into it anymore. Whether she is the daughter of the supervisor or the daughter of the Eight Sage Prince, anyway, a little girl is innocent and can’t do anything bad, so let her play.

Only the Eight Sages Palace and the Imperial Palace did I insist on sending three and five tables every day, and the rest of the Huyan Palace and Tang Palace were only sent for two days before stopping.

There is no reason for this. Both families have problems of showing off. The young people and women at home have eaten delicious foods that they have never eaten before and drank the fine wines that were only available in the sky. They can't help but run outside and brag to their friends how good the things sent by "Mengqiulou" are.

There are countless princes and nobles in Bianliang City, with great honors and prominent ranks. There are no less identities than their two families, and even more noble than them.

Everyone was not very satisfied now. Why did this "Mengqiulou" only give it to them but not to us?

Or if we don’t give it, we can pay for it. Why is it not open for business now but is already giving it to others to try it, but it is not sold to other people?...)
