Chapter 47: Shock
Li Cunxin still didn't believe in the matter of sweet potatoes, but since Emperor Jin transferred him over, it was obviously true, so Li Cunxin had to take it seriously.
Qin Han skimmed Li Cunxin, the Li family is the emperor's favorite minister, and Qin Han is very clear about the sweet potato, and the Jin Emperor's heart for Li Cunxin's promotion is obvious.
"Would you still be here if it was fake?"
Li Cunxin scratched his head, and Qin Han said the same. "Doesn't that mean that there will be no shortage of food and grass in the future?"
Qin Han glanced at Li Cunxin and said. "The army just eats this, how can it still have the strength to fight, but it can indeed relieve the pressure of a lot of grain and grass."
Hearing Qin Han's words, Li Cunxin smiled. "That's enough, it can reduce the burden of grain and grass, and in the future, if you go deep into the hinterland of the Liao army to fight, you won't have to worry about supplies."
Li Cunxin paused, straightened his face, and said. "Tomorrow, the county chief will take us to Tuntian's place, and I will call you then."
After talking to Qin Han for a long time, Li Cunxin left, and before leaving, he told Qin Han that he would not eat at home tomorrow, and let Qin Han grill the skewers.
Qin Han kicked Li Cunxin out of the hall, who ate barbecue in the morning.
The matter of Tuntian has almost been settled, and it is time to call someone for a meal when you have nothing to do.
……
There is a restaurant that has now been renovated, and the first floor is only redecorated with new tables and chairs, which looks more neat and beautiful. The upstairs rooms that were originally used as guest rooms have all been converted into private rooms, except for the Eight Immortals table in the middle, the walls of the entire private room are also hung with calligraphy and paintings, and green plants are placed, and the walls and floors look far from comparable to the hall on the first floor.
Gong Zisong accompanied Qin Han to visit all the private rooms, although he had seen it several times, he couldn't help but sigh at Qin Han's taste every time.
"It's all as you say, I didn't expect your taste to be so good."
Qin Han smiled, I have seen too much of the various pre-springs and marketing methods in the present world, and a small restaurant is not yet available, and it may not be conspicuous in the present world, but it is definitely at the top of the trend in the Great Jin.
The whole decoration is all about creating an elegant and quiet atmosphere, and the calligraphy and paintings are also hung for the sake of that. At this time, it was not a luxury that was popular, Shi Nong Industry and Commerce, Shi Ren as the top class represented the vane of all the trends of the entire Great Jin Dynasty, even if it was a merchant who sat on the gold mountain, there were also celebrity calligraphy and paintings.
Gong Zisong continued. "These private rooms are better with a few elegant names."
"By the way, in the future, the names of the dishes in these private rooms will also be replaced by those elegant.
"Gong Zisong seems to have been opened to a certain field, and his thoughts are like springs." It is best to invite some people who are proficient in blowing, playing and singing, thinking that not only the private room is elegant, but even the dishes eaten are elegant, coupled with silk and bamboo, and the walls are full of calligraphy and paintings. ”
The more Kyoko Song spoke, the brighter his eyes became, as if he was already in the middle of it.
Qin Han had another idea, he was now a bureaucratic class in the Great Jin Dynasty, although the Great Jin Dynasty did not have a law that officials could not do business, but no official went back to do business in person, most of them followed their relatives or supported others to go to the sea to do business.
Although Qin Han didn't have these ideas, once the yield of sweet potatoes was confirmed, it was appropriate to be promoted, and if he wanted to live a peaceful and stable life, he couldn't fall into the hands of others, and he couldn't be an outlier among all officials.
Moreover, the most important reason lies in Qin Han himself, Qin Han is lazy, not to mention the problem of restaurant management, Qin Han's head has an easier way to make money than this, and it is much more profitable than this, where is there still energy to manage the restaurant. However, after all, the restaurant is the place where I first grew up, and other meanings are far more important than economic significance. And there are some things that need to be in contact with the beggars or other people, you can't always be in the Chu family, and a restaurant is undoubtedly the best base.
Qin Han set his eyes on Gong Zisong, who was still saying his thoughts, and a weird smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, this is not a good coolie, he has no worries, and he has ideas, it is best to use it to catch strong men.
In fact, Qin Han is also very curious about the identity of Gong Zisong, from the very beginning when he learned that he could stir-fry, to the easy solution of Wang Laohu and the three of them, and now all kinds of ideas for attracting guests to the private room, it is obviously not something that an ordinary beggar can have.
However, whatever, what kind of identity Gong Zisong was before was his business. When Qin Han encountered something, it was enough for Gong Zisong to come forward.
Qin Han poked Gong Zisong and said with a smile. "Lao Song, I'll give you the restaurant."
"Okay."
Gong Zisong was still immersed in the planning, and just dealt with it casually, but after carefully recalling it, he suddenly reacted.
"What?"
Gong Zisong's shout shook Qin Han's ears, and he hurriedly took it out with his hand. "I said, I'll give you the restaurant, you just agreed, a gentleman's word, the horse is hard to chase."
"No, why did I agree? What's going on, the business of the restaurant is not bad. Gong Zisong was a little confused by Qin Han's sudden move.
Qin Han shook his head, looked at Gong Zisong, and said. "I'm an official."
"You're an official?" Gong Zisong was a little stunned, the news was a little sudden, and the day of this scientific expedition had not yet arrived.
Qin Han took out the official seal from his sleeve and threw it to Gong Zisong.
Gong Zisong caught it, took it in his hand and looked at it carefully, and after confirming it again and again, his face was full of surprise.
", Lao Qin, you are really an official, but how can you be an eight-rank military attaché."
Gong Zisong is very satisfied with the word groove, since hearing Qin Han's different meanings on different occasions, Gong Zisong also likes to say these two words.
Qin Han took back the official seal and said proudly. "Can you still be fooled? How about it, Lao Song, to consider the matter of the restaurant? ”
Speaking of the restaurant, Gong Zisong hurriedly shook his head and refused. "Don't think about it, although you can't manage this restaurant openly, but you can find your father-in-law, the Chu family is already in business, just a restaurant, just take care of it by the way."
Qin Han shook his head, looked at Gong Zisong seriously and said. "It's different, I believe you."
"This..."
"Moreover, I won't give it to you for nothing, I will take seventy percent of the income of the restaurant, and you will take thirty percent." Qin Han gestured his fingers at Gongzi and said.
Seeing Qin Han looking at himself fixedly, Gong Zisong was a little moved. Half a month ago, he was still a beggar who cheated on the street, but after meeting Qin Han, he had a comfortable life now. Qin Han's kindness to Gong Zisong is really not small.
Qin Han saw that Gong Zisong didn't speak, and knew that he had already wavered in his heart. "And, I'm teaching you a few new dishes, no, no, no, a dozen."
Hearing what Qin Han said, Gong Zisong was in a hurry. ", you still haven't taught me any dishes, hurry up, tell me quickly."
Gong Zisong hammered at Qin Han several times before letting go, but the expression on his face was serious. "Qin Han, thank you, you have been my brother in this life. Listen to you, I will accept the restaurant, and give you seventy percent every month, and you can rest assured that I can do it. ”
Gong Zisong promised Qin Han, not just because of the relationship between the two. There are some things that can only be done with strength, and the restaurant is a start.
"Hypocrisy, it's all brothers." Qin Han patted Gong Zisong's shoulder and said with a smile.
"Go and call Brother Seven, I don't know what happened to the beggars."
Handing over the restaurant to Gong Zisong was just a temporary idea, and finding Hong Laoqi was the main thing.
……
It's still the dinner table of the day, and there are still a few people at the table. After Qin Han found someone to inform Hong Laoqi, it didn't take long for everyone to arrive.
Qin Han didn't say nonsense, and directly threw the official seal on the table. "I'm now a military attache of the eighth grade, and I can be regarded as a person in the court."
Hearing Qin Han's words, Hong Laoqi and the others showed shocked expressions, this Qin Han actually became an official, and he was still a military attaché.
Telling Hong Laoqi about being an official is not for the sake of celebrating together between several people, but a kind of deterrence for several people. The establishment of the beggar gang came from two aspects, one was Qin Han's life-saving kindness to Hong Laoqi, and the other was that Qin Han aroused the ambition in Hong Laoqi's heart.
But these two aspects are far from enough, Qin Han doesn't want to become someone else's wedding dress with what he bothered to talk about. No matter how grateful Hong Laoqi was to Qin Han, Qin Han was always not so relieved. Taking a step back, even if Hong Laoqi is loyal to Qin Han now, when the strength of the beggar gang spreads throughout Anping and the entire northwest, maybe Hong Laoqi will not have other thoughts, but there is no guarantee that the people below him will not have other thoughts.
When Qin Han threw out the official seal, there was a little more awe in the eyes of several people. There will always be a gap between the government and the people, and the best manifestation of this is that the people do not fight with the officials.
The purpose has been achieved.
Hong Laoqi returned the official seal to Qin Han, raised the newly added wine glass in the restaurant, and said respectfully to Qin Han. "Congratulations to Gongzi Qin on becoming an official, and I wish Gongzi Qin a prosperous official fortune."
After speaking, he drank all the wine in his cup.
Qin Han also picked up the wine glass and drank it clean.
Hong Laoqi wiped his mouth and said respectfully. "Gongzi Qin is really a capable person, he followed Gongzi Qin's choice at the beginning, and it was really right, and he will have to rely on Gongzi to take care of him in the future."
Qin Han waved his hand and said. "Brother Qi is polite, they are all a family, so there is no need to be so polite. Oh, by the way, what's going on with the beggars? ”
It has been a few days since Zhang Shun was arrested, and Qin Han is also more concerned about Hong Laoqi's progress.
Hong Laoqi was suddenly overjoyed and reported. "After Qin Gongzi, Zhang Shun and a few small leaders were taken away, things went surprisingly smoothly.
What kind of word did Qin Gongzi say, yes, integration, that is, integration, his territory and his subordinates were integrated by us very smoothly, and basically didn't use any effort. Thanks to the fact that Gongzi left a lot of silver, those people followed Zhang Shun not very well, I heard that we have silver, and no one will resist if we can eat well. Now that we have begun to integrate several other small forces, I believe it will not be long. ”
Hong Laoqi's speed was somewhat beyond Qin Han's expectations, but it was also reasonable.
Qin Han took out a letter of silver again, handed it to Hong Laoqi, and said. "Brother Seven, part of this silver will be kept for future operations, and part of it will be found by some carpenters to make an eyebrow-raising short stick for each of the brothers in the gang."
Beggar gang, how can you be without weapons.
