The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 556 Business Blueprint
"Thirteenth brother, am I wrong?"

Both Zhao Yougong and Gao Chong left, and Song Huizong was left alone with a sad face.Zhao Si, who disappeared for a long time without knowing when, appeared in the study, staring silently at Song Huizong's back, and sighed secretly: "If I knew today, why bother!"

"Brother Huang, don't blame yourself!" Even though Zhao Si felt that Song Huizong had treated Zhao Gou unfairly, he couldn't tell the truth. If he really said it, it would be a blow to Song Huizong. Someone comforted him, saying: "With Gou'er's temperament, I believe he will not give up everything easily, maybe he has other plans."

Song Huizong raised his head abruptly, and said, "Gou'er has other plans?"

"At the beginning, Gou'er didn't go the other way, so don't blame yourself, Brother Huang!" Zhao Si replied firmly, with a sonorous and forceful voice, which made Song Huizong feel better.

Song Huizong knew that he knew Zhao Gou very well, and he thought Zhao Gou would never really obey the imperial edict.Now Zhao Gou disappeared, which made him feel uneasy.Song Huizong never thought that Zhao Gou would really obey his will and put aside everything willing to be a commoner.

"Thirteenth brother, do you think I was wrong?"

Seeing his brother's staring gaze, Zhao Si hesitated for a while, then nodded and said yes, "Brother Huang, you are really wrong this time! At the beginning, I suggested to you, don't go this way, if you really go, you can't turn back , if you don’t believe me, you have to take a risk.”

"Don't say it's a baby, if it's another, I might not be able to accept it. I worked hard for the country and the country of the Song Dynasty, but in the end I deprived everything and became a commoner. This is very heavy for anyone. It's just that Brother Huang didn't follow my advice at all at that time."

"It's normal for Gou'er not to understand, even the boy in my family can't accept it, let alone Gou'er! If this matter really develops like this, I don't know if it will cause dissatisfaction among others, especially Gou'er. Whether my son's heart is loyal to Da Song."

"Even though the emperor is thinking about going to the Great Song Dynasty, and he has no choice but to do so, is it really worth it? If the Great Song Dynasty is in chaos, what will be left to future generations will be nothing but a dilapidated country. Can it be done?"

Song Huizong said bitterly: "I don't know! However, the ministers in the court and even the whole world are governed by rituals. Those old concepts deeply bind the people of the Song Dynasty. Even I, the emperor, can't do anything. If not, How did he unify the Great Song Dynasty and shock the world."

"I know Brother Huang's thoughts, but they don't know!" Zhao Si tried hard to persuade.

"We still can't let them know about this matter, the time is not yet ripe!" Song Huizong pondered for a moment, but he was still firm in his previous thinking, determined not to let them know his plan.It's just that he was still worried about Zhao Gou's safety, so Zhao Si secretly sent someone to investigate.

Zhao Si smiled wryly: "Brother Huang, you know Gou'er's abilities better than I do! Since Gou'er intends to avoid everyone's attention, so what if his wish is fulfilled! Not a single clue."

"In my opinion, it's better to let him disappear for a few months!"

"Thirteenth brother!" Song Huizong looked at Zhao Si sullenly.

Zhao Si quickly said: "Brother Huang, I have already investigated the situation of the Xingfu. According to the servants, Gou'er has been there before. Moreover, Gou'er also promised that Xing Huan will send his beloved daughter to the scene in two months. So it will not exceed two months at the most, and the son will definitely appear. At that time, it will not be too late for the emperor to show up, so let him do it during this period of time!"

"Really?" Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Si suspiciously. Seeing him nodding firmly, he was convinced, and then said: "Two months later, you will tell You Gong everything! If it really happens What unexpected situation, if he knows, he won't be helpless."

Zhao Si smiled bitterly and said: "Brother Huang, let's talk about this matter slowly!"

Song Huizong asked with some doubts: "How do you say this?"

"At the beginning, I told him not to go to Gou'er. Now that Gou'er has disappeared, I'm afraid he complained to me because of his bad temper. If I didn't tell him not to go there, I wouldn't As for making Zhao Gou disappear."

Zhao Si recalled that after that day, he met Zhao Yougong again, but he was rejected by Zhao Yougong, which made it hard for him as a father to speak.Now that Zhao Gou disappeared again, he knew that his son had been with Zhao Gou for a long time, and he dared to make some unexpected moves, and he didn't know whether it was joy or worry.

So, Song Huizong and Zhao Si looked at each other, both wry smiles.

The next day, Steward Wang and others all returned to the city, but their appearance changed a lot, and they mixed with the common people who entered the city together, and then came back in batches.

"From now on, I am no longer Zhao Gou, my name is Zhao Weiguo!" Zhao Gou saw that everyone had arrived, and then said: "From then on, there are no county kings or generals, only merchants. From today , everyone must remember that his previous appearance appeared in the capital, and everything needs to cover up his true identity."

"If the predictions are correct, someone will definitely track down my whereabouts. If the truth is revealed, all the plans may be disrupted. Butler Wang, how much money does the family have left?"

Steward Wang said in a deep voice: "Reporting to the young master, there is still more than 10 taels of money in the house!"

"How come there are so many?" Zhao Gou was taken aback. He thought he only had ten thousand taels of silver, so he muttered, "I didn't expect that I would become a corrupt official too!"

Steward Wang replied: "Part of the money was rewarded by the emperor, and part of it was the increased income from the brothers' opening of stores. This is the total. If some costs are excluded, there are also the expenses of each brother. I am afraid that there are eight or nine of them. Around [-]!"

"The previous store remains intact and continues to operate!" Zhao Gou nodded and said, "The next thing we need to do is to open a rice store and a restaurant. The previous restaurants are too small to be on the table. What I want to do is a big restaurant, famous far and wide!"

Steward Wang said puzzledly: "Young master, the restaurant run by the brothers is not small, and it is also very famous in the capital. Why did you suddenly open a new restaurant?"

"Food is paramount to the people!" Zhao Gou said with a smile, "Whether it is ordinary people, merchants, or high-ranking officials, restaurants are inseparable. This time, we bought a rice shop as the source of rice for the restaurant, and the rice from the rice shop Mainly Weizhou Gongmi!"

"The previous restaurant was no more than a place for three hundred people without accommodation. The restaurant opened this time not only has food, but also a place for entertainment and rest. That is to say, the decoration of this restaurant needs to be improved Wait, then naturally the price of food is not low, even a bowl of rice costs one tael of silver, people without status will not be accepted, and a membership system will be adopted."

"Membership?" Everyone looked at Zhao Gou in confusion.

"Membership means people with special identities. Here they are the best customers and provide the best service!" Zhao Gou briefly explained, and then said: "The restaurant is a place for information sources. Those who have identities Some people can collect more information here, but we only know it, and it is quite a hidden place for others.”

Steward Wang frowned, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master, I'm afraid no one would like rice for a tael of silver!"

Zhao Gou said with a smile: "Don't worry about that! If it is sold separately, of course you need so much, but the white rice is not sold at all, but given away. Because all the rice in it is high-quality rice , even the other ingredients are the freshest and the best, and some chefs who are good at cooking must be found here. The family background of these people must be clean. The most important thing is that the dishes in this restaurant are rare Let them experience what enjoyment is.”

Since it is necessary to do it best, the catering industry is still popular even in the feudal era.No matter who needs to entertain, those dignitaries will definitely entertain some relatives and friends outside, so these places are the places where the real source of information is, and it is also a place where fish and dragons mix, and it is a place to win people's hearts.
