Chapter 64: Build a one-stop service for Yonghang! (Please read on!)

"By the way, how many floors and rooms are there in Hua Man Pavilion?"

Ji Si Niang was confused by what she heard and she regretted not taking notes.

Hearing Ning Mu's question, she hurriedly said, "Sir, we currently have the Phoenix Tower, the Gardenia Tower, the Wenxiu Tower, the Yingyue Terrace, the Yingxiang Courtyard, and the Shangxiang Room, which is dedicated to servants and maids and a kitchen. There is also a vacant lot near the Qintang River. If we have enough silver, we can build two tall buildings."

"In addition, Wenxiu Building was basically vacant and unused before, and Yingyue Terrace rarely had guests. Occasionally, one or two talented people would ask to go to Yingyue Terrace to enjoy the scenery."

"Each floor is basically four or five stories high, and the rooms on each floor vary in size, but when all is added together, there are at least five or six hundred rooms."

The space was okay and somewhat consistent with what he had imagined.

It would be better if it could be bigger so that we could build a casino.

After thinking for a while, Ning Mu asked, "How much money is left in the account now?"

Ji Siniang was startled, glanced at Liu Qingmei, and said, "The boss took away 20,000 taels last time, and now there are 3,000 taels left in the account for maintenance expenses, and 5,000 taels for emergencies."

Ning Mu understood.

"Hang up a sign and say that Huaman Pavilion's business is being upgraded and the opening is pending. Then arrange twenty pretty prostitutes for me and I'll come and take them away tomorrow." Ning Mu said to Ji Si Niang.

Ji Si Niang was startled, and her eyes suddenly became strange.

Twenty...

Can your small body handle it?

But despite her doubts, she nodded.

After all, her boss Liu Qingmei didn't say anything, so she naturally obeyed.

I just don't know what the relationship between the boss and this handsome young man is, and why he would give such a big property to him to do whatever he wants.

This is a real gold-spending den.

Under normal circumstances, the income in a year is at least 20,000 taels.

Under special circumstances, such as when a certain courtesan becomes famous and wealthy men spend lavishly on her, it is possible that her monthly income may exceed one hundred thousand!
In the year when Ruyanhong was popular, the first rights alone were sold at a sky-high price of 80,000 taels!
This can almost be said to be unprecedented in the history of brothels!
After all, eighty thousand taels is enough to buy thousands of girls from poor families!

"Sir, Si Niang has a question."

"speak."

"I understand what the young master just said about the singing and dancing performances, but what are the so-called foot washing and massage, chess and card games, and scene customization?" Ji Si Niang asked in confusion.

Ning Mu smiled.

What he wants to create is Yonghang's one-stop service.

It is a high-end club with all-round functions and multiple functions.

It is a place where people don’t want to leave once they come here. It is truly a cozy nest and a den of spending money!

"It's okay if you have an idea of ​​these. It doesn't matter if you don't understand them for now. I will teach you slowly later." Ning Mu didn't explain in detail, and continued: "By the way, do you have a tailor shop connected to you? Or a ready-made clothing store that can do mass customization will also be fine."

Ji Siniang looked puzzled, but still nodded and said, "Yes, our clothes are basically ordered from Zhaoji in the west of the city."

Ning Mu asked, "How is your craft?"

Ji Siniang replied: "Not bad. Almost one-third of the brothels, art galleries, and wine shops in Yonghang get their goods from Zhaoji."

The women in brothels and art galleries were not like ordinary decent women. They simply did not have the spare time to tear a piece of cloth to cut and sew new clothes by themselves, so they could only find merchants who specialized in custom-made clothes.

"Okay, I see."

Ning Mu nodded and continued, "I think Jiang Fuling is pretty good. Has she ever received guests before, or had any connection with a talented person?" Ji Si Niang was stunned and couldn't help feeling sorry for Jiang Fuling.

It seems that Fu Ling can't escape the clutches of this young master.

She shook her head and said, "Fu Ling is the only prostitute in our Hua Man Pavilion who performs for money but never interacts with any men. Even when she plays the piano, she does so in the attic and has never met any man. It is precisely because of her mystery that many customers hope to gain her favor."

"Alas... She was originally a rich lady from Qingyang County, but her father was addicted to gambling. He gambled all his life and eventually sold his daughter. Fu Ling is proficient in music, chess, calligraphy and painting. She is a real talented girl. But she was buried in Hua Man Pavilion after all, so I usually protect her."

A hint of regret and struggle flashed in Ji Si Niang's eyes.

She wanted to continue to protect Jiang Fuling, but seeing the gentleman's decisive attitude, she dared not speak out.

If the young master gets angry because of her, wouldn't that mean everyone would lose the chance to survive?
"Okay, you can tell her what I told you, and ask her to follow me tomorrow." Ning Mu said with a smile.

"Yes, sir." Ji Si Niang sighed inwardly, but still nodded in agreement.

"By the way, give me all the information you have collected. I want it now."

Ning Mu looked at Ji Si Niang without any doubt.

Ji Si Niang was startled, confused at first, then her eyes narrowed deeply, but soon returned to normal.

Without waiting for her to speak, Ning Mu smiled and said calmly: "Don't tell me you didn't collect intelligence. Brothels, taverns, and art galleries are always a place where good and bad people mix together, and information is flying everywhere. You were previously a hidden chess piece of the Zhou Kingdom Blood Lotus Sect in Yonghang, and it was definitely not just to make money for them and cultivate pure essence for the Saint Girl to absorb."

Ning Mu stared at Ji Si Niang with a smile.

That smile, which was intimidating without even being angry and full of creepy threats, made Ji Si Niang feel uneasy.

After a moment's hesitation, she couldn't help but sigh and nodded, "Sir, please wait a moment. I will go get it now!"

……

"Xiaomu, what are you going to do?"

After receiving a whole box of information compiled by Ji Si Niang, Ning Mu and Liu Qingmei walked out of Huaman Pavilion.

Liu Qingmei couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

Ning Mu's series of words just now left her confused.

But she didn't interrupt.

She thought that it was still unknown whether the poison that Ji Si Niang and Jiang Fuling had poisoned could be cured, and it was possible that Hua Man Pavilion would no longer exist from now on.

Just let Ning Mu do it.

Ning Mu turned his head and looked at Liu Qingmei, and said, "Master, can you lend me the twenty thousand taels you took away earlier?"

"What do you want so much money for?"

Seeing that Ning Mu not only did not answer her question, but also wanted to take the 20,000 taels back from her, Liu Qingmei frowned slightly.

"I am very useful. The current means of livelihood of Hua Man Lou is too backward. I want to change the system. Master, rest assured, I promise that the money will not be wasted. Besides, Master, you still need to help the disaster victims, so you have to give me some capital."

Ning Mu chuckled and said to Liu Qingmei.

Liu Qingmei was speechless.

She wanted to refuse, but Ning Mu's assurance and the second half of his sentence made her soften her decision.

"Okay, I'll give you these 20,000 taels, and an extra 5,000 taels. This is all I can take out. If I want more, I'll have to use the Ye family's money. You know, the Ye family is in a difficult situation right now. I don't want to rely on the Ye family's power unless it's necessary!"
