"You said that these poems are all from Li Zhonghua's hand?" After reading a few poems, Li Shimin asked in surprise.

"This question is also a question that Lao Chen wants to know, if these poems are written by Li Zhonghua, then this person's talent is very remarkable." Wang Jue said very cautiously.

"Even if he writes, it can only be said that the poems he writes are good, and the real talent is not just a few poems." Li Shimin said noncommittally.

"Having said that, the minister still suggested that His Majesty should cherish talents and let them study and do business, and the minister is worried that in the end, I am afraid that his talent will be buried."

"If he is really a very talented person, as long as he takes the imperial examination, the court will not bury his talent.

If I only rely on such a book of poems, I will promote him exceptionally, how can I explain it to the readers of the world?

In the future, if you don't want to do learning, but only want to write a few good poems, you can take a shortcut and seek a half-official position, isn't it misguided? ”

"What Your Majesty said is very true, but the minister has not thought it through." Wang Qi saw that Li Shimin did not agree, so he had to say helplessly.

"Wang Aiqing is a scholar of the Ministry of Rites, and she has a heart of love for talent, but there is nothing wrong with acting as a talent.

For Li Zhonghua, you only need to pay attention, pulling out the seedlings to help him grow, sometimes it is not a good thing for him, continue to wait, maybe he will bring us more surprises. ”

In fact, Li Zhonghua's every move has always been under Li Shimin's control, and long before the decree was issued to reward Li Zhonghua, the investigation of Li Zhonghua had already been launched.

Li Zhonghua appeared in Chang'an almost suddenly, and there was no information about what happened before he appeared in Chang'an City.

Subsequently, Li Zhonghua took Yang Xue's family and fled Chang'an in a hurry and arrived in Shuangliu County, Yizhou, Jiannan Province, where he was registered.

If he hadn't taken action, he solved the smallpox epidemic, and then on the way back to Chang'an, he rescued Li Ke, the king of Shu, and returned to Chang'an, saving the eldest grandson queen, and made great contributions one after another.

He could be sentenced to death for a single crime of unknown origin.

Such a person, no matter how capable he is, Li Shimin will not use it with confidence.

Yan Wenli is the housekeeper in Li Zhonghua's mansion, and he is also the person Li Shimin clearly placed around Li Zhonghua, with Li Zhonghua's cleverness, Li Shimin believes that he will definitely not be able to hide it, and Li Shimin has never thought of hiding him.

As for secretly, Li Shimin also arranged manpower.

However, what made Li Shimin feel incomprehensible was that no one could tell how the distilled spirits were made, whether it was in the open or in the dark.

Obviously, Li Zhonghua did not believe that the imperial court selected slaves from Sinong Temple to be sent to his mansion.

However, Li Zhonghua pretended to be indifferent, not only laughed at the slave selected by Sinong Temple to give him, but also did not replace Yan Wenli, the housekeeper.

This impressed Li Shimin very much, and even more recognized Li Zhonghua, who was not only smart, but also very scheming.

Li Shimin was originally worried. Li Zhonghua will join the camp of Li Ke, the king of Shu, and give him advice in a vain attempt to compete for the crown.

But up to now, except for the few days when he first arrived in Chang'an, Li Ke, the king of Shu, went to him and wanted to return a few courtesans, Li Zhonghua did not take the initiative to visit the palace of the king of Shu.

Li Zhonghua didn't know about this at all, fortunately he didn't have a close relationship with Li Ke, the king of Shu, otherwise he didn't know how he died.

Although King Wei also gathered a lot of staff around him, it can be said that there are many talents, but Li Shimin will not restrict his development and growth, if Li Ke, the king of Shu, has the heart to compete for the crown, it is something that Li Shimin will never allow to happen.

The reason is very simple, because Li Ke, the king of Shu, was not born to the eldest grandson empress, and at the same time he had half of the royal blood of the previous dynasty.

Time passed quickly, and the preparations for the opening of the restaurant were ready, and the date was set for the Mid-Autumn Festival on August 15.

Prior to this, Li Zhonghua engraved tens of thousands of advertising leaflets and sent people to distribute them throughout Chang'an City, claiming that with this advertising leaflet, you could taste a cup of new Chinese wine for free, which was worth the same amount of money.

He also introduced the new Chinese liquor, which used to be a tribute liquor for the imperial palace, and the production was very limited, and it was never sold in the market.

Before the opening, an unprecedented job fair was held to recruit young and beautiful girls to serve as waiters, greeters, and cashiers in large restaurants.

However, there are very few people who come to apply.

Except for some people who are forced by life and have a hard time, as long as their lives are still passable, no one is willing to apply.

In the end, Li Zhonghua had to go to the market and buy some women who were sold into slavery.

Li Zhonghua personally trained the first batch of waiters and ordered work clothes.

In order to motivate them, they were told about the rules of job promotion, as well as the basic salary at work, performance appraisal, and bonuses for good work.

The most important thing is that after they earn money, they can apply for redemption at any time and turn into a good name.

As for the chef, as well as the staff in the kitchen, they must sign a confidentiality agreement and keep the kitchen secret for ten years.

As long as people have hope, life will be meaningful.

After hearing Li Zhonghua's promise, everyone studied very seriously, and whoever can learn better will be promoted to foreman immediately.

The higher the promotion, the higher the salary you get, and the sooner you can redeem yourself.

When the day of opening finally arrived, many ordinary people with advertising leaflets walked to Pingkangfang to taste the new Chinese liquor that was said to be only available to emperors.

There are the faces of Chi Jingde, the Duke of Hu, Cheng Jin, the Duke of Hu, Qin Shubao, and Wang Qi, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites.

Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, the court does not need to go to court, and everyone has time for all civil servants to rest.

Because there are too many people with advertising leaflets, it is impossible to put them all into the restaurant, and for this reason, Wang Qiangrose, who is in charge of the overall situation, is so anxious that she will cry.

At this time, a welcome guest suggested to Wang Qiangrose that the wine be moved outside to the courtyard so that those who came with advertising leaflets could taste a glass of wine for free. The rest of the people who want to order food in the restaurant will be strictly restricted from personnel, number plates will be issued, and they will enter in batches.

Wang Qiangrose happily accepted this welcome suggestion and ordered her to organize other welcome and waiters to guide customers outside.

A jar of wine was carried outside, and all the people lined up to receive a free glass of wine with an advertising leaflet.

The scene is fragrant, and those who have tasted the free wine are praised one by one, and they feel that it is not enjoyable, and those who want to drink again can only receive the number row and wait for the time to enter.

Li Zhonghua has evaluated the reception capacity of Chang'an Restaurant, which can accommodate 1,000 people at the same time.

But there were more people coming today than expected, which made Li Zhonghua sigh that he still underestimated the consumption power of the Tang people and was not prepared enough.

It's good that those who just want a free glass of wine are being kept out, otherwise they are really worried, what kind of stampede will happen?
