"Thirteenth brother, am I wrong?"

Zhao Yougong and Gao Zhong both left, leaving Song Huizong alone to blame himself and look sad. Zhao Xiang, who disappeared for a long time, appeared in the study, stared at Song Huizong's back silently, and sighed secretly: "I knew why I had to do it today!" ”

"Brother Huang, don't blame yourself!" Even if Zhao seems to feel that Song Huizong is unfair to Zhao Gou, but he can't tell the truth, if he really says it, it will definitely be a blow to Song Huizong, so he can only speak out to appease, and said: "With Gou'er's temperament, I believe he will not easily abandon everything, maybe he has other plans." ”

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

"At the beginning, Go'er didn't go the other way, so don't blame yourself, brother!" Zhao seemed to answer firmly, and his sonorous voice made Song Huizong feel better.

Song Huizong knew that he knew Zhao Gou very well, and in his mind, Zhao Gou would never really obey the holy decree. Now that Zhao Gou had disappeared, it made him feel faintly uneasy. Song Huizong never thought that Zhao Gou would really follow his will and give up everything to be a common man.

"Thirteenth brother, did you say that I was wrong?"

Zhao seemed to see his brother's intent, hesitated for a while, but nodded yes, "Brother Huang, you are really wrong this time!" At the beginning, I advised you, don't take this road, you can't turn back if you really go, you don't believe you have to take a risk. ”

"Don't say it's a structure, I don't necessarily have to accept it, I tried my best to work hard for the Great Song Dynasty Jiangshan Society, but in the end I was deprived of everything and reduced to ordinary people, which was a heavy blow to anyone, but the imperial brother didn't follow my advice at that time."

"It's normal for Gou'er not to understand, even that kid 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 other people to be dissatisfied, especially whether Go'er's heart is loyal to the Great Song Dynasty. ”

"Even though the imperial brother is for the sake of the Great Song Dynasty, he has no choice but to do this, but is it really worth it? If the Great Song Dynasty is in chaos, what will be left to future generations is nothing more than a broken country, can they really do it? ”

Song Huizong said bitterly: "I don't know! However, the ministers of the DPRK and the central government and even the whole world are etiquette, and those outdated concepts deeply bind the people of the Great Song Dynasty, and even I, the emperor, cannot do anything. If not, how could he unify the Great Song Dynasty and shock the world. ”

"I know what the imperial brother thinks, but they don't know!" Zhao seemed to persuade hard.

"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 thoughts, and resolutely did not let them know his plan. It's just that his heart is still worried about Zhao Gou's safety, and he asked Zhao to secretly send someone to investigate.

Zhao Ru smiled bitterly: "Brother Huang, you know better than me about your ability!" Since Gou'er deliberately avoided everyone's sight, what if he got his wish! Even if we send someone to track it down, I'm afraid we won't be able to find any clues. ”

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

"Thirteenth brother!" Song Huizong looked at Zhao Qi angrily.

Zhao Qi hurriedly said: "Brother Huang, I have already investigated the situation in the Criminal Mansion, and according to what my subordinates said, Gou'er has been there before. Moreover, Goo'er also promised Xing Huan to marry his beloved daughter Fengguang back in two months, so it won't take more than two months at most, and Go'er will definitely appear. At that time, it is not too late for the imperial brother to come forward, let him do it during this time! ”

"Really?" Song Huizong glanced at Zhao Yi suspiciously, and when he saw him nodding firmly, he was convinced, and then continued: "Two months later, you can tell Yougong everything!" If something unexpected really happened, he wouldn't be at a loss if he knew. ”

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

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

"At the beginning, I told him not to go to Gou'er. Now that Gou'er is gone, I'm afraid that with his stinky temper, he complains to me. If I hadn't asked him not to go there, I wouldn't have made Zhao Gou disappear. ”

Zhao seemed to recall that day, he saw Zhao Yougong again, but he was rejected by Zhao Yougong, which made him a father really unspeakable. Now that Zhao Gou has disappeared again, he knows that his son has been following Zhao Gou for a long time, and he dares to make some unexpected moves, and he doesn't know whether he is happy or worried.

So, Song Huizong and Zhao Ru looked at each other, and they both smiled bitterly.

The next day, Steward Wang and the others all returned to the city, but their appearance changed a lot, mixed with the people who entered the city together, and then returned 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 now on, there will be no county kings or generals, only merchants. From today onwards, everyone must remember that their previous faces appear in the capital, and everything needs to be concealed to their true identities. ”

"If that's right, someone will track us down. If the true face is revealed, I am afraid that all the plans will be disrupted. Steward Wang, how much money do you have left in the house now? ”

Steward Wang said in a deep voice: "Back to the young master, there are still more than 100,000 taels of money in the house!" ”

"How can there be so many?" Zhao Gou was taken aback, he thought that there were only 10,000 taels of silver, and muttered: "I didn't expect me to become a corrupt official!" ”

Steward Wang replied: "Part of this money is rewarded by the emperor, and part of it is the income increased by the brothers from opening shops, which is total. If you remove some costs, as well as the expenses of the brothers, I am afraid that there will be about eighty or ninety thousand! ”

"The old store is still open!" Zhao Gou nodded and said, "Next, what we have to do is to open a rice shop and a restaurant." The previous restaurants were too small to be on the table, so I want to make a big restaurant, famous far and wide! ”

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

"The people live on food!" Zhao Gou said with a smile, "Whether it is ordinary people, businessmen, or high-ranking officials, they can't do without restaurants. This time, we acquired a rice shop as a source of rice for the restaurant, and the rice in the rice shop is dominated by Ulju Gong Rice! ”

"In the past, the restaurant could only accommodate about 300 people, and it was not yet a place to stay. The restaurant opened this time not only has a place to eat, but also a place to spend time and rest, which means that the decoration of this restaurant should be high-quality, so naturally the price of meals is not low, even a bowl of rice costs one or two silver, and people without status are not accepted, and a membership system is adopted. ”

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

"Membership is a special status of people, where they are the best guests and give the best service!" Zhao Gou explained briefly, and then said: "The restaurant is a place where intelligence comes from, and those who have identities can collect more information here, but we just know it, and it is a rather hidden place for others. ”

Steward Wang frowned, and said in a deep voice: "Young master, a tael of silver and white rice, I'm afraid no one wants it!" ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "You can rest assured about this!" If it is sold alone, of course, it will take so much, but the white rice is not sold at all, but given away. Because all the rice in this is high-quality rice, even the other ingredients are the freshest, and the best, and find some good cooking masters, these people's family backgrounds must be innocent, and the most important thing is that the dishes in this restaurant are rarely eaten, so let them experience what it is to enjoy. ”

Since you have to do it, you have to do it best, and the catering industry is still popular even in the feudal era. No matter who needs to socialize, those dignitaries and nobles will definitely entertain some relatives and friends outside, then these places are the real sources of information, and they are also places where fish and dragons are mixed, and they are also places to win people's hearts.
