Concubine Ji glanced at Mo Linchuan, slightly puzzled, it stands to reason that Mo Linchuan doesn't need to help her at this time, if her plan is not feasible, it will only implicate him, but Mo Linchuan looked as usual, and smiled faintly after noticing Concubine Ji's gaze.

That's it, the shopkeeper sighed: "You say, I believe the girl can see the reason for it, and she must not be an idle person." ”

Concubine Ji was puzzled by her voice: "Why was this staircase built in the first place?" ”

"This tavern has existed for decades", the shopkeeper recalled with his eyes: "At that time, although there were a lot of taverns in Jimo, most of them were ordinary hotels, and the accommodation conditions were not good, and some wealthy merchants would rather hurry than stay for one night, so I thought about finding another way, and after careful consideration, I sold two-thirds of the family property to build such a tavern specially opened for dignitaries. Now Tianyi Tavern has almost become the first choice for Jimo nobles to stay, and later taverns can't compare even if they follow suit. Speaking of this, Shopkeeper Zhang was slightly relieved.

"However, the carved staircase is not changed, once there is a rivalry with the family, as long as you grasp this weakness, the status of Tianyi Tavern will definitely not be guaranteed." Concubine Ji was directly provocative.

Zhang's shopkeeper looked solemn: "What the girl said is exactly what Zhang is worried about, Tianyi Tavern has been developing very well over the years, but recently some of the magnates who often come have not come, I sent people to inquire a little puzzled, and found that these nobles are going to an old tavern in the south of the city, this is nothing, but the king told me that this old tavern has changed hands unconsciously at some point, and it looks dilapidated on the outside, and it is full of exquisite and gorgeous decorations inside, which makes me secretly frightened." After the shopkeeper Zhang finished speaking, his face was still worried.

Mo Linchuan's long eyelashes blinked slightly, his handsome face became more and more exquisite, and Concubine Ji comforted: "Shopkeeper Zhang, don't worry too much, if you really want to rob your family's business, you won't be so cautious and cautious, maybe there are some things that we ordinary people can't know." Concubine Ji deliberately opened the topic and brought Shopkeeper Zhang into a misunderstanding.

"This ...... Girl, you mean? Shopkeeper Zhang seemed to think of something, suddenly understood, and then looked shocked, the power of the Jimo Imperial Court is clear, and the internal forces of several big families are competing for me, and the old tavern that changed hands is likely to be bought by some of the forces that secretly joined forces, as a place to contact on weekdays.

Concubine Ji nodded with satisfaction: "Shopkeeper Zhang is a person who understands, and he is worthy of developing Tianyi Tavern to this point." ”

"Hey, I should have thought of it a long time ago", Shopkeeper Zhang suddenly brightened: "I have heard that the court magnates pay attention to confidentiality when discussing confidential matters, such a family is not obvious but has a prosperous interior, and it cannot be operated without the support of those people." ”

"It's good that Shopkeeper Zhang understands, presumably it is the large number of people in Tianyi Tavern and the powerful people that make these people secretly find another place." Concubine Ji noticed that when she finished saying this, Mo Linchuan's face was calm and she breathed a sigh of relief.

The shopkeeper Zhang arched his hand: "Girl, what you said is right! Fortunately, I didn't find fault with the uncle, otherwise I don't know how many big people I offended. Shopkeeper Zhang remembered the last time his guys were angry and wanted to come to the door to find fault, and at this time, cold sweat slowly oozed from his back.

Concubine Ji nodded: "This tavern shouldn't want to be exposed to the public, as long as the shopkeeper doesn't provoke you, it will naturally be safe." ”

Shopkeeper Zhang took a deep breath of turbidity, and a heart that had experienced vicissitudes of life was beating non-stop today.

"That's natural, the old man is also a person who knows the times, and now he knows that this tavern has an extraordinary origin, so he should avoid it in the future."

"Drip ~ Side Quest 2: Mo Linchuan's favorability has increased by 2%, and the current favorability is 92%." The mechanical sound of the system sounded in Ji Feiyin's mind.

Concubine Ji subconsciously looked at Mo Linchuan with her afterglow, her eyes were as clear and gentle as a stream, and she didn't see the gloomy color just now, it seems that her guess was right, Concubine Ji was clear in her heart, the new owner of that tavern was only afraid that it was the handsome son of Zhilan Yushu next to her, it stands to reason that there is no need to buy a tavern to find out about the situation in Jimo, Mo Linchuan is a person with means, so it seems that there must be someone in the Jimo court who colluded with Shangqi, and that tavern should be a stronghold for them to contact. Today's incident, Concubine Ji skillfully used a lie to coax the shopkeeper Zhang over, looking at Mo Linchuan's expression, she should not be extinguished.

"Let's talk about this staircase", Concubine Ji changed her head and returned to the topic: "This staircase is a feature of Tianyi Tavern, naturally it can't be demolished, I will make an idea for you, you don't need to destroy the staircase, you don't need to repair it in the future, and you can attract more distinguished guests." ”

"Tell me more, girl." Concubine Ji's words just now have already made Shopkeeper Zhang admire, and now he believes in Concubine Ji.

"Build a large vat high on the roof, facing the sixth, fifth, and fourth floors...... Connect four pipes, remember, as long as four, do not need to connect the first and second floors, and then install the pipes to the guest's room, and equip the pipes with switches, so that guests can open the water themselves when they want to use water, although it costs some money to build, it is definitely worth it. Concubine Ji said slowly but firmly.

"Great idea!" , Shopkeeper Zhang was overjoyed: "In this way, there is no need to carry water upstairs!" ”

Concubine Ji smiled: "Water flows to a low place, the unchanging law of nature, so there is no need for manpower." ”

"Yes, everyone used to send water and gave me back pain, but now it's better." Shopkeeper Zhang sighed.

Concubine Ji smiled because she smiled, and she could be regarded as indirectly repaying the king.

"Due to the strong sunlight in summer, the water in the tank can be used without boiling, but in winter, the wind is biting and the weather is cold, so hot water is still to be delivered at this time." Concubine Ji reminded. After all, there were no solar water heaters in ancient times, so they could not rely entirely on sunlight.

Shopkeeper Zhang waved his hand indifferently and said with a smile: "That's much easier than cold water and hot water, I thank you for the guys in the store, the girl is really wise." ”

Concubine Ji smiled modestly: "How dare you, it's just some whimsy occasionally." Shopkeeper Zhang wanted to praise a few more words, when an elegant voice suddenly asked

"Why don't you install water on the first and second floors?" Mo Linchuan was puzzled.

Concubine Ji smiled: "Rare things are expensive, if they are fully loaded, they may not be unusual, maybe the guests will feel tired after a long time, but if only the third floor and above have this kind of facilities, not only will they not get tired, but the guests will definitely rush to grab it, right?" After saying that, he winked mischievously.
