Chapter 490: It's hard to find a talent and take a girl
The popularity of the restaurant, which lasted for almost ten days, slowly cooled down.
This situation is a normal phenomenon, and it is unlikely to continue to be popular for a long time.
In fact, the situation is similar to that of later generations, no matter how popular it is when it is first launched, there will always be a moment when it cools down.
Whether it is the shop in Liufu that sells toothbrushes and toothpaste, or the current skylou. This is actually the same as cutting Filipino vegetables.
At this hot time, those customers are attracted to come, and then, after spending their money, it is naturally impossible for them to continue to spend.
No one's money is endless.
No matter how much those guests like the wine and food of Tianlou, how much they like Diao Chan, and how much they like the songs launched by Tianlou. But if you are shy in the wrap, then there is no way to enjoy it anymore.
Therefore, the group of guests whose economic strength cannot keep up, they will definitely not be able to come to Tianlou every day to cheer, and slowly, there will only be a group of guests who are not short of money. And this group of guests will gradually become regular customers who must go to the sky tower every day.
In fact, it will be similar in the later generations. A restaurant often relies on a group of regular customers to make a living.
Of course, on the basis of this group of regular customers, it will definitely attract other customers every day, but it will definitely not be as hot as the opening time.
In the future, there will be a long time when this situation will be maintained.
But this is not to say that it is not popular, it is not that Tianlou can't make money, it's just that it can't be like these days, with a turnover of hundreds of millions every day. However, there are not hundreds of millions, but at least there will be a tenth, or a fraction. In general, it must be profitable, and in a month, the net profit will be hundreds of millions.
Liu Xian also took this situation into account, so he agreed with the emperor to give him 20 million yuan a month, which is actually quite suitable. No more, no less, and the emperor will not say dissatisfied. After all, this is a huge amount of money for nothing.
The business of Tianlou has slowly been on the right track.
Liu Xian doesn't have to run to the sky tower every day.
Zhang Ning and Zhou Cang have quietly escorted a batch of money back to Liulin City, this time back to Liulin City, she will come to the capital again after the New Year, she still has to go to Quyang to inspect the industry there, mainly to contact those of the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro who have secretly contacted, to meet and talk with the Yellow Turban leaders who returned to Liu Xian.
It's almost December, the time of the real winter. Whether it is the Montenegrin army or the Taishan army, they have almost stopped looting during this period, and they will not go out of the mountain again until the next spring, after the heavy snow covers the mountain and lifts the seal.
On the Montenegrin Army, many Yellow Turban leaders have been contacted, and they are now lurking in the Montenegrin Yellow Turban Army. They intended to return to Liu Xian, but because the time had not come, Liu Xian did not accept them at the first time, and he had not officially met and talked with them. Now that Liu Xian is in the capital, it is even more unlikely that he will meet them.
Therefore, Liu Xian asked Zhang Ning to find a chance to meet them, mainly to reassure them and tell them to stay in the Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army and wait for the opportunity to summon them.
In addition, Liu Xian naturally didn't want to accept a group of Black Mountain Yellow Turban Army who had done all the evil things at that time. Therefore, Liu Xian also gave them a lot of advice and asked them to rectify the Yellow Turban Army under them. The first thing for them to do is to be as self-reliant as possible, and let them develop some farming operations in the mountains. Their military horses were originally some farmers, and everyone was proficient in farming, and Liu Xian gave them some advice on how to open up land in the mountains and what crops to cultivate.
Asking them to really rely on their own farming in the mountains can solve their food problems, but as long as they are engaged in farming, this is tantamount to transformation. Change the image of their Yellow Turban Army, which is not engaged in production, only looting. In terms of food, Liu Xian can actually provide them with some secretly, and they don't need to loot.
But what Liu Xian needs is an attitude from them. They have not yet formally surrendered to themselves, but they can do what they seem to be suggesting but are actually orders, and that proves that they really want to follow them. If they don't do any of this, how can they prove that they really want to submit to themselves? Especially Liu Xian's suggestions, it is indeed for the sake of their survival.
Anyway, Liu Xian will not accept the submission of those really vicious Yellow Turban Army. Liu Xian doesn't need those black sheep.
Liu Xian's attitudes and ideas explained to Zhang Ning, and asked Zhang Ning to make it clear to those Yellow Turban leaders who had the heart to submit to him.
Anyway, it is impossible for Liu Xian to let the Montenegrin Army develop, and he will not let the Montenegrin Army surrender to Cao Cao in the end as it did in history.
When the time comes, Liu Xian will send troops to exterminate the Black Mountain Army. In history, the imperial court has sent troops to exterminate it many times, and Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao have sent troops to attack, but they have all been helpless against the Yellow Turban Army of Montenegro. But Liu Xian is not the imperial court, not Gongsun Zan and Yuan Shao. If they can't do it, it doesn't mean that Liu Xian can't do it.
Liulin City and Beihai have also sent the latest information. It was also mentioned that the Yellow Turbans had stopped their raiding operations and had returned to the mountains. In other words, the threat of those Yellow Turban Army to Liulin City and Beihai is temporarily lifted today.
At this time, Liu Xian can be regarded as idle.
But Liu Xian would not let himself be idle, and came to the capital Luoyang, mainly to loot money. Now he has done quite well in this regard, and the money he has earned has actually exceeded Liu Xian's expectations, and Liu Xian can already do a lot of things with this money. At the very least, if you want to recruit and expand the army when the time comes, you can let it go.
Liu Xian doesn't want to be idle, so what to do? Naturally, it is necessary to start recruiting talents, looking for talents to accept for their own use.
Liu Xian's people who can be used in his hands are really stretched, and he even has to let Zhang Ning escort a woman to escort the money. If you have enough people under your command, then you definitely don't have to work hard for your own women.
However, recruiting talents, this is really hard to find, and you can't get the talent you want all at once.
After all, those people would not take the initiative to come to meet him or something, and he was still a businessman. Even if Liu Xian is very famous in the capital, he has basically heard of Liu Xian's name. But there really won't be anyone who takes the initiative to come to the same place, and occasionally someone wants to worship the Marquis of Wuyong's mansion, but they are all guys who plan to eat and drink.
What made Liu Xian most constrained was that Liu Xian couldn't open the door of the mansion and openly recruit diners like ordinary magnates. Liu Xian's identity as the young master of the Plains Palace, who was scrunched by the emperor, doomed Liu Xian to not be able to openly recruit talents.
Therefore, there is no way, Liu Xian still has to let people investigate everywhere, or through some information collected through Tianlou, as well as Liu's shops and other places, to see if there are some suitable talents in Luoyang, or somewhere in Luoyang. As long as he got a certain amount of information, Liu Xian personally came to the door to ask for a meeting and persuaded them to use it for himself.
Therefore, Liu Xian couldn't rush these things even if he wanted to. 510 Literature
There is no way but to get people's attention.
In the evening of this day, Liu Xian remembered Ying'er from the draft workshop, because Liu Xian had obtained the emperor's permission to select some beauties from the draft workshop. Liu Xian felt that it was time to solve the matter of coming to Ying'er.
If you can't find a talent for a while, let's accept the beauty for your own use.
Liu Xian knew that even if the emperor allowed him to select a few beauties from the draft workshop, if he came to Ying'er, he would probably have to take some time. I'm afraid it's not so easy to take Lai Ying'er away.
Lai Ying'er is now the pillar of the draft workshop, the most popular lady, if it is given to Liu Xian, then wouldn't it fuel the flames of Liu Xian's skybuilding? A Diao Chan has already made them feel threatened and powerless to fight, so that Tianlou has one more Ying'er, then they will surrender directly, and they don't have to think about using Miss's talent to attract guests. If you go for Miss's talent, everyone will go to the sky.
If Liu Xian chose to come to Ying'er, then they would definitely report to the emperor. In this way, even the emperor would not want to see Lai Ying'er being taken away by Liu. At that time, if the emperor summons Ying'er into the palace with a holy decree, then things will not be easy.
Therefore, Liu Xian felt that it was better to solve Lai Ying'er herself first, at least if she was willing to leave. Then he didn't give a chance, and the emperor summoned Ying'er into the palace.
Liu Xian took Zheng Bo and Wang Yue into the draft workshop.
The young lady who had received Liu Xian didn't see it, but the old bustard who knew Liu Xian, when she saw Liu Xian, she was stunned, and immediately twisted her ass with a smile on her face.
"Ouch, isn't this the little marquis of Wuyong? What's the wind blowing today? Actually came to our draft workshop? ”
"Hehe, it's the winter wind blowing now, but since the winter wind has arrived, the spring breeze is not far away." Liu Xian smiled and said, "It seems that the business of the draft workshop is good today." I saw a lot of carriages parked outside. ”
"The little marquis said to be funny, if you want to say that the business is good, who dares to compare with the little marquis's skytower? Speaking of which, the slave family really has some opinions about the little marquis, and our business is going to be robbed of Tianlou. Now the guests are all discussing the Diao Chan girl in your Tianlou, she has completely stolen the limelight of Miss Ying'er from our talent show. ”
"Haha, is there such a thing? In fact, our Tianlou does not mean to steal the limelight. You should also know that Tianlou doesn't have a young lady at all, so no matter what, it's not as attractive as you here, those young ladies and girls can see and touch. ”
Liu Xian exchanged a few polite words with her, and then changed the topic and said, "Well, give me a private room, and then invite Miss Ying'er to come over to catch up on the old days." She had congratulated Xiaohou, but I haven't had a chance to thank her yet. ”
"Okay, little marquis, please come with the slave family. But...... Please wait a while, now Ying'er is receiving a distinguished guest, and after seeing him off, she will come to see the little marquis. ”
"Distinguished guests? Isn't Miss Ying'er generally not going to receive guests casually? How this time? ”
Liu Xian asked as he walked upstairs with her and walked to the private room.
"It's true that Miss Ying'er doesn't usually receive guests casually, but there are some distinguished guests who have to come forward to receive them. Also, we will have a show here, and if there are guests who can impress Miss Ying'er with their talents, then Miss Ying'er will also be happy to make some really talented guests. ”
The old bustard said: "Today, a guest wrote a poem for Ying'er, a very good poem. So, Ying'er invited the guest to tea. ”
Coming to Ying'er in the talent show, it is under the banner of selling art and not selling oneself. Her reception, in fact, is to drink tea and chat, and perform singing and dancing talents for the guests alone. Generally speaking, guests do not dare to force Ying'er to come to the talent show.
This, in fact, is equivalent to giving some guests the opportunity to pursue Ying'er. It gives a certain amount of thought to those who are really rich and talented. If it is really high enough to be unapproachable, and even the guests refuse to receive it, Lai Ying'er will not be able to mix in the draft workshop, at least the draft workshop will not let Lai Ying'er do this.
Under normal circumstances, no one can completely ignore those guests like Diao Chan in the Sky Tower.
"Wrote a poem for Miss Ying'er? And moved Miss Ying'er? This distinguished guest is definitely not an ordinary person, I wonder if you can tell me the name of this distinguished guest? ”
"Naturally, this person is actually a celebrity in our capital, and he is quite talented. He is Cao Cao and Cao Mengde. ”
"What? Cao Cao? ”
Liu Xian didn't expect that Cao Cao would be in the capital at this time, and he was still in this draft workshop.
Could this be fate? Is this Cao Cao still with Lai Ying'er?
No, perhaps, this Cao Cao is afraid that he will come to Ying'er to meet him a long time ago. After all, Lai Ying'er has been popular in the capital for three years, and with a lustful guy like Cao Cao, how could he not know the name of Lai Ying'er? How can you not come to see the truth?
"Little Marquis, is this just this private room? After a while, the slave family will let Miss Ying'er come over again? At this time, the old bustard led Liu Xian to a private room.
"Well, okay, the old rules, bring up all the delicious food and drink in your Qinglou, let's appreciate the talents of those young ladies in your talent show."
"Little Hou Ye, don't laugh, I'm not satisfied with you, in fact, we also learned those songs of your Tianlou Diao Chan girl. Therefore, the current performance is also based on singing those songs. There is no way for the guest to ask for ...... The little marquis won't blame these young ladies for singing the song of Diao Chan girl, right? ”
"Haha, how could it be? Isn't it just for people to sing songs? It doesn't matter who sings it. ”
"Thank you a lot, little marquis. The slave family will arrange it now. I also went to urge Miss Ying'er for the little marquis. ”
"No, come over when she can, don't embarrass Miss Ying'er."
"Yes!"
The bustard stood outside the door, answered respectfully, and was about to close the door and leave, when the door of the private room next door opened.
