Asked carefully, listening to Meng Yuanyi, but did not think that the price of rice in Luoyang had risen several times, and white rice had become a popular food in the city, but the inventory was limited, so only a few larger wine inns had it, and the royal family of the initiator, the hotel under its industry did not launch because the rice rose and could not afford it, and it did not get any light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 infoWhite rice is so popular, I think it must be someone in the royal family intentionally or unintentionally, who leaked the method of rice cooking, but this is not the time to pursue it, Zhou Bian just secretly made up his mind in his heart, he still has to strengthen the management of the palace in the future, so as not to lose his monopoly position in his own inventions, and in the future, he can use these inventions to make money to revitalize the royal family. However, seeing that what he did by accident was so popular, Zhou Bian also had a lot more confidence in his next plan.

After Meng Yuan gobbled it up, and then drank and ate enough, until he was satisfied, Zhou Bian smiled and the two walked out together. Naturally, Fan Yu went to settle the bill, and returned after a while, only to see Fan Yu's two colors pale, Zhou Bian couldn't help but ask curiously, but heard Fan Yu mutter, "My mother, a meal actually cost two hundred yuan, and a few days ago, they spent less than a hundred yuan on playing with Xiu'er for a few days." ”

Meng Yuan on the side also heard it, and his face was immediately embarrassed, and he couldn't help but bow his head and salute Zhou Bian, "Little boy, so-and-so."

Unexpectedly, he was interrupted by Zhou Bian, "Brother Tai doesn't have to mind, it's just a hundred dollars, it doesn't matter." "But there is still a little pain in my heart, two hundred dollars here can buy four loads of grain, or pay three months' wages to the workers in the depot. However, although this Meng Yuan is suspected of eating and drinking, fortunately, he can also speak, judging from his embarrassed face just now, he still knows shame, so he is not so annoying.

After lunch, everyone walked around the city again, but at this time Zhou Bian found that the lunch was worth it, it turned out that Meng Yuan was extremely familiar with Luoyang City, and he knew one or two about the market prices of various goods, and even the products of various countries could be ranked higher or worse.

This afternoon, I walked around the bustling streets, and listened to Meng Yuan's introduction, this Lu Hao Chu Jin, Zhao Tieqi salt, all kinds of goods have a rough look, plus the iron shops, stonemason shops, grain shops, terracotta shops, every Zhou Bian did not let go. After a few hours, Zhou Mi and Fan Yu couldn't walk, but when they saw that the king was still excited, they had to keep up.

In the blink of an eye, night fell, the lights were on, Zhou Bian touched his stomach, and he was hungry again, and happened to see a restaurant in front of him, with lanterns on display, and those who hurriedly entered the building were all dressed in Chinese clothes, so he said, "Brother Tai is also hungry, why don't we be in this restaurant at night, and then talk about the wine carefully?" ”

Meng Yuan said with a smile, "I nagged the little boy at noon, but in the evening I had an appointment with a friend, I guess he had been waiting for a long time, if it wasn't for the little boy's reminder, I would have forgotten it, and I was guilty of sin." Why don't you say goodbye and see you again in the future? ”

didn't think about it but was rejected, Zhou Bian took a closer look at Meng Yuan, only to see that Meng Yuan's eyes were in a trance, and then think about it carefully, according to this person's character of knowing etiquette, he will not let his friends wait so late, thinking that it is mostly a lie, it must be that Zhou Bian was slaughtered at noon, and he couldn't bear to eat it again at night, thinking of this, Zhou Bian couldn't help but have a good impression of this person, and he didn't break it, so he replied, "Since Brother Tai already has an appointment, it is not good to force the invitation again." It's just that I talked with my brother today very happily, and I was happy in my heart, but I don't know where to go next time, looking for my brother to reunite? ”

Meng Yuan bowed his head even more, "If you want to come and live without a fixed place, but if you are still in Luoyang, you will visit the Taimiao Temple every ten days to show your awe in your heart." This restaurant is not suitable for the little boy, and I hope that the little boy will choose another family. Don't leave it at that, please stay, little boy. ”

After saying that, he saluted Zhou Bian respectfully and turned to leave. Zhou Bian watched Meng Yuan leave, but heard Fan Yu complain on the side, "Childe, what kind of person is this, deceive Childe to eat and drink." ”

"Hehe, we also know a lot with him, and besides, this person is a scholar, he must be so down, and he can help one or two, which can be regarded as accumulating virtue." Zhou Bian said and looked back, only to see that Fan Yu was still unconvinced, and was about to speak, so he continued, "Okay, this son knows." Now we are also hungry, I see that this restaurant is not as luxurious as the one at noon, and I don't know why I can't go, but my son wants to take a look. ”

After saying that, he led the two of them into with their heads held high. After half a ring, I saw the three of them withdraw in embarrassment, and a beautiful young woman behind her chased and scolded a few steps, but saw that she couldn't catch up, but she squeezed out a smile to meet another son. The three of them went straight out of a mile before they stopped, Zhou Bian looked over, only to see that the other two were also red, almost able to squeeze out blood, presumably he should be like this, so he smiled, "Hehe, it turns out that this is a place to drink flower wine, and Meng Yuan didn't make it clear, so I was so embarrassed." ”

But I couldn't help but itch in my heart, anyway, it was legal in ancient times, and after a few years, I had the courage to go in and have a look, but I didn't know how to drink this flower wine in ancient times.

Another half an hour passed, and after the three of them solved their stomach problems, they returned to the Rifle Inn at night. There were no pedestrians in sight on the street, but from afar he saw a lucky old man bending over and guarding the door, Zhou Bian's heart tightened, as if every time he went home late in his previous life, a sense of guilt suddenly rose in his heart, and he arched his hand at the prison guard, "Lord Steward, I'm really sorry, I'm too late to come back, and I'm worried about you." ”

"The old slave has nothing to do, that's why he came out and waited. King, don't underestimate that this Luoyang looks calm, but in fact, it is also a place where all parties compete. Usually there will be no trouble, and Zhou Gong will naturally not sit idly by and watch a small movement, but if there is a big force behind him, Zhou Gong will not be able to control it, and my royal family will not have an advantage in Luoyang. Still, the superintendent revealed his concern.

"It's okay, the king has his own preparations." Zhou Bian smiled softly at the prison guard, and then shouted behind him, "Come out, it's okay." ”

After that, I saw a few people flashing out of the dark shadows in a small alley next to the street, all dressed in strong suits, with long swords at their waists, just like the common marchers on the streets of Luoyang, but the difference is that they are all chest and back, walking step by step, a few people walked out and even the pace was the same, the prison guard looked carefully, but it was Li Yuan and other kings' personal guards, Fang knew that Zhou Bian had already prepared when he went out, only two people were taken in the open, but there were several other people in the secret, but he didn't find it all the way, and he couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Bian opened his mouth and scolded with a smile, "How can you not teach it, I said a long time ago, hide in the crowd, don't walk such neat steps, the five of you all walk on the street with the same steps, it is difficult not to attract attention, what else do you talk about secretly protecting your master?" ”

Li Yuan knew that Zhou Bian had an easy-going temperament, so he smiled and said, "I'm used to it, we were all walking casually all day, pretending to be like real scholars, but as soon as I heard the son's shout, I couldn't help but walk in the form of a queue again." ”

"That being said, it is still necessary to pay attention later. But how many others? ”

As he was talking, I saw three people walking by the street in front of Zhou Bian, it was Cai Wu and others, who arched their hands and said, "Childe, after discussing with Li Yuan, I decided to protect Childe in two groups, so that it will not attract attention, and I haven't had time to talk to Childe, but I don't know what Childe thinks?" ”

Zhou Bian nodded and said, "Very good, I will do it in the future." Let's go, let's all go in, stand in the doorway like something. ”

After that, he went into the inn, and everyone hurriedly followed, but Zhou Mi stayed at the end, and looked around vigilantly, and saw that there was no figure, so he turned around and flashed in.

After the guards settled down, Zhou Bian left the prison guard alone, "Lord Steward, this king has already made a decision, is Lord Steward willing to fully support this king?" ”

"The wisdom of the king is rare in the world, and he has a civil and military heritage. Not to mention anything else, the BMW car alone made the old slave admire, and the old slave often wondered whether the king was given to me by God for the Great Zhou, which is the blessing of my Great Zhou. The king is sent, and the old slave will never dare to slack off. The superintendent bowed.

Zhou Bian smiled and said, "Come on, there's a bunch of nonsense in front." No matter what the king wants to do, he can't do without money, and I am also deeply aware of the poor manager of the Great Zhou, and the king came to Luoyang to enrich my Great Zhou. ”

"Zihei, they are all the king's most loyal courtiers, and they have all served the royal family for decades. If the king has any decision, but it doesn't hurt to do it, Zihei and they will definitely go all out like old slaves and obey the king's orders. ”

"That's very good. The king has three requests, and the chief should remember them all. First of all, all the five inns were closed and reorganized, and the men in each inn who were innocent and loyal to the royal family were selected and sent here to be taught by the king himself, and the rest of the people who were willing to leave were given money, and those who were unwilling to leave were left to do chores. Second, the grain bank was ordered to stop buying other grains and buy wheat and sake in large quantities. Finally, the king still needs money to make some iron pottery and the like, but it is important that the king himself will order these utensils, so it is important to find an iron shop that we have a good relationship with, and to tell them in advance that the things that the king has made must not be revealed. In addition, you need to remember that everything must be done carefully, not to be publicized, not to be noticed, and not to be known all over the street. ”

"King, the old slave remembers, but this last one is a little difficult, just if you strike iron, you can not go far, but the pottery is difficult, the pottery shops in the city are owned by Zhou Gong, I am afraid that it will be noticed by Zhou Gong's subordinates, can you come from another potter from Cheng Zhou?" There are also potters in my royal family, but it takes more than two days to transfer them. The supervisor was not ambiguous, and agreed without asking too much.

"Just do what you say, remember, safety first, what we are doing now is related to the income of the royal family, and even related to the future revival of the royal family. As for the question of time, it can be done as soon as possible, and there is no need to rush too much. Zhou Bian nodded and agreed.

Now the prelude to the reorganization of the royal family industry has been officially opened, Zhou Bian is still very confident in the effect, now not fast, only stable, Zhou Bian did not want to get rid of the poverty of the royal family all at once, just want to go step by step solid, go steady, in order to go far.
