Ancient promotion routine

Just when Zhang Yanjin hesitated outside the main hall because of the emperor's words, Eunuch Xu laughed.

"It turned out to be Eunuch Xu." Seeing Eunuch Xu, Zhang Yanjin smiled and shouted. .

"Hey, Mr. Zhang, you don't need to be too polite. The slaves are still carrying the emperor's order, and they are helping Mr. Zhang!"

Eunuch Xu smiled lightly, although his words were modest, but now he was very close.

"Eunuch Xu is serious. Thanks to the emperor's respect, he entrusted me with the important task of building roads, but now..."

Just as Zhang Yanjin was about to speak, Eunuch Xu stretched out his hand to stop her.

"Master Zhang, walls have ears..."

Zhang Yanjin didn't care, he had nothing to say to others, and he was not one of his own, so he never cared whether others heard him when he spoke.

It's just that Eunuch Xu said so, so he quickly looked around, only to see that there was no one else nearby except for a few little eunuchs with blank expressions guarding the palace gate and the guards a few hundred meters away.

"Eunuch Xu, aren't these all your people?"

"Master Zhang, my people, all the people in this world belong to the emperor."

Zhang Yanjin's eyes were dark, and he always felt that there was something in his words.

At this time, Eunuch Xu laughed again and said: "But, these monkey cubs have been in my hands for a day, and they have to listen to my orders, but who can tell where their hearts are? Are you right, Mr. Zhang ?”

Eunuch Xu made a short sentence, but Zhang Yanjin's heart was full of turmoil: Everyone in this world belongs to the emperor, so the emperor is not willing to let the black hands behind this matter surface?But as long as it threatens your own foundation, you can't bear it!

Is that what Eunuch Xu meant?

Zhang Yanjin looked carefully at Eunuch Xu's slightly aged face again, feeling very upset.

……

"Zhang Yanjin's goods were robbed by bandits? And let him redeem it with 10 taels of silver!"

When Zhao Guogong Chu Chigong heard the news that Chen Su wanted to borrow troops, he slapped the table on the spot.

"It's the opposite! It's the opposite! These thieves, when I was a bandit, they were still playing with mud, how dare they come and smash my place?"

Chen Su listened to Zhao Guogong's official speech for a while, and then he spoke indistinctly for a while, the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Master Guo, now those mountain bandits want us to redeem the goods, please lend me some soldiers so that I can destroy these bastards!"

"Chen family boy, it's not that I don't want to help you with Zhang Yanjin, it's because I don't have military power in my hands now! If you really want to borrow soldiers, you can go to the Minister of the Ministry of War to get them."

"No... not that old man, you can just lend me a few hundred soldiers, just kill a few little thieves, you don't need to find the Ministry of War."

"Hey, boy from the Chen family, go back and tell Zhang Yanjin that his restaurant has reopened now, and it's still a membership system. It's a pity that my old Chu is not a member!"

After hearing this, Chen Su twitched his mouth, and said speechlessly, "Old man, thanks to the fact that you and Ning Guogong have been friends for many years, you don't want to help Zhang Yanjin at all, and even took the opportunity to blackmail the members of the restaurant here!"

"How do you talk, boy, who said I don't want to help, but now I have no strength. Look at my old arms and legs. What do you think of me? Could it be possible for me to help you fight the war? That's right. I am very interested in becoming a member of this restaurant, if you say that I will do publicity for you, it will be hard not to be popular!"

"Father..."

Chen Su wanted to say more, but was interrupted by Zhao Guogong waving his hand.

"When you go back, tell Zhang Yanjin that the restaurant business looks simple, but who cares about it? If you want to do it well and in the long run, sometimes you have to learn to endure. If you are competitive in everything, you will be in trouble. It's accumulating more and more!"

Chen Su looked at the majestic Zhao Guogong, and felt that the old man was a little different from before, but he refused to borrow troops, and he had no choice but to leave angrily.

Back at Duke Ning's mansion, Chen Su didn't dare to be careless, and directly told Zhang Yanjin what Duke Zhao had said.

"Zhao Guogong really said that?"

Zhang Yanjin couldn't believe it. Old man Zhao was able to say such amazing words. It was a thousand miles away from what he knew about him before.

"Zhao Guogong persuaded me not to continue the investigation?"

Zhang Yanjin pondered for a long time in her heart, which undoubtedly added more doubts to this simple robbery of cement.Zhang Yanjin struggled for a while, and then said to Chen Su cautiously: "In this case, you should go to the cement factory first, and work overtime to produce a batch of cement and transport it to the capital. The construction on Gongfu Road must not be delayed. Before the frost falls, you must As for the batch of cement, I will wait for my uncle to come back and discuss with him before making a decision.”

Chen Su got used to running errands recently, so he turned his head and left without talking nonsense, leaving only Zhang Yanjin in the room, wondering why Zhao Guogong stopped him from investigating the truth of this case. For the case, I believe that as long as we go to Xiangyun Mountain and catch a few robbers, we can get some key clues. Is it possible that Zhao Guogong will know who is behind this incident?

Before Zhang Yanjin could start working, it was already time for the opening of Tianyilou. On this day, there were firecrackers on Chang'an Avenue from noon to night, and it was extremely lively.But what is even more controversial is that after the opening of Tianyilou, customers were not allowed to enter the store, and even many dignitaries were turned away.

Seeing the embarrassment and anger of some adults who had just been politely invited out of the store, a group of ordinary people who were watching the excitement at the entrance of the restaurant were extremely excited.

Zhang Yanjin was standing on the second floor of the first floor, looking down at the tens of thousands of pedestrians on Chang'an Avenue.

"Zhang Yanjin, just now Saburo, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, wanted to come to eat, but he refused to pay the 5000 taels. I was kicked out by surprise." Standing beside Zhang Yanjin, Li Ying said with a guilty conscience.

"Well, very good. This is the desired effect." Zhang Yanjin said lightly.

"But...but there are more and more people like this, I'm afraid..."

"Afraid it will affect our business?"

Zhang Yanjin asked back with her hands behind her back.

"Yeah, it's been open for a day, and there's not a single person in charge of membership, but I've driven away dozens of officials and eunuchs. If this continues, I'm afraid our restaurant..."

"Hehe, losing money? If you are afraid of losing money when you enter the stock market, there is no need. I will send you some money after I have dealt with the loss of cement in two days. We must ensure that our restaurant is becoming more luxurious and bustling every day. The flowers at the entrance must be replaced every three days, and they can be purchased from the peony garden. There is another one. This day, a small garden open to everyone can be considered in front of the gate on the first floor. By the way, in the middle We're making a big fountain!"

Hearing Zhang Yanjin's words, Li Ying's face turned green. If he is not in charge, he doesn't know that Chai Migui is expensive. When he didn't take care of this restaurant, he thought that although the restaurant was luxurious, at most it would only cost 10 taels of silver to pay for it, but After looking at the running water in recent days, I realized that it was only the firecrackers and flowers placed outside the door today.

It cost 3000 taels of silver! !

If this is changed every three days... how much would it cost!

"Zhang Yanjin, it's just that... this kind of burning of money, I'm afraid..."

Li Ying wanted to talk about what to do if the money burned out, but thought that Zhang Yanjin was the big one, so he hesitated to speak.

"Money is not a problem. The cement factory has made some money recently. I will transfer it to you as soon as possible. Also, Gongfu Road is about to be completed. On the day of completion, I want to invite the emperor to cut the ribbon. Our restaurant happens to be in the middle of Gongfu Road. , I think simply set the ribbon-cutting place in front of our restaurant, if the emperor is interested in our restaurant, and people around the emperor come over, you remember to present the gold membership card to the emperor."

"Okay, I'll write it down." Li Ying tried his best to keep up with Zhang Yanjin's thinking, but sometimes he found that although he claimed to be a smart person, there was still a big gap between his thinking and Zhang Yanjin's thinking in terms of management.

Seeing that Li Ying still didn't understand, Zhang Yanjin reminded: "Well, I want to emphasize again, what our restaurant should do is to amaze the rich people, make them want to come, and take pride in being able to enter our restaurant. , instead of coming to our place to consume."

……

in the palace.

Li Mingrui got the secret report and handed it to Emperor Sheng Yuan hesitantly. He said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, the matter has been found out. This time... it is not a family."

Emperor Sheng Yuan put down the notebook, and he frowned.

Seeing Li Mingrui hesitating, his face also changed slightly: "Is it from me?"

Li Mingrui nodded with difficulty.

"Who?"

"It's... King Zhao."

Emperor Sheng Yuan slowly put down the pen in his hand and got up, turned around and said, "Does Zhang Yanjin know about this now?"

"Return to the emperor, because you want Mr. Zhang to finish repairing the Gongfu Road before the frost, so Mr. Zhang rushes to work day and night, and has not started to investigate this matter until now!"

The emperor breathed a sigh of relief and said, "That's very good, let the Ministry of Punishment know that if Zhang Yanjin goes to them to assist in the investigation, let them fool you."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Wait," the emperor seemed to think of something again, and said again: "When you go, you should be more tactful, and don't say it's what I mean!"

"Yes, Your Majesty, I have made a note!"

"Well, let's go down."
