Shi Lance shook his head, trying to be as sober as possible, but in his mind, he was even more confused. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

"Your Highness, is it possible that if you buy a restaurant, the big family will sell us grain?"

Zhao Shuo smiled faintly. "If we buy a restaurant, the big ones will naturally not sell us grain, but the shopkeepers of the restaurant naturally have a way to get food."

This point was guessed by Zhao Shuo, and he didn't dare to say anything about other shopkeepers, but shopkeeper Li must be able to, otherwise there is such a young owner, and the Zhaocai Restaurant can survive until now, and it would have collapsed long ago.

"Your Highness, if the shopkeeper can get food, we have a good relationship with the shopkeeper and let him sell it to us, why do we want to buy a restaurant?" Familiar with Zhao Shuo, plus drinking wine, the stone lance gradually let go.

"Brother Shi, of course, to solve the problem, we must treat both the symptoms and the root causes, and solve it all at once. Buying food with the shopkeeper, not to mention whether it is feasible or not, I just ask how long such a deal can last. Zhao Shuo looked at the stone lance.

"This ......" Shi Lance patted his face, sobered up a little, and then began to think about how much grain could be bought for 100,000 taels of silver.

"It's useless to buy as much as you want!" Zhao Shuo interrupted Shi Yan's train of thought.

"Your Highness! How do you say that? "Shi Shu had already drunk too much, and he couldn't calculate how much he could buy, so after listening to Zhao Shuo's words, he simply gave up the calculation.

"Brother Shi, the silver taels copied in Zhang's Mansion are limited, whether it is used for military salaries or to buy military rations, it won't take long for it to be spent. Military salaries and rations were supposed to be supplied by the state, but in such an eventful season, many things could only be relied on by the generals themselves. ”

Although Zhao Shuo said it very implicitly, Shi Lance listened very clearly, because last month's military salary and food expenses were only topped by selling Zhao Shuo's briquettes!

"Your Highness, but what does this have to do with buying a restaurant!" Although what Zhao Shuo said was reasonable, Shi Lance still didn't understand.

"With a restaurant, you can solve the problem of food for the soldiers, and if you do a good job, the military salary may also be solved." Zhao Shuo said with a smile.

"Why is that?" Stone Lance asked, his eyes wide.

Zhao Shuo knew that the time was almost up, and immediately said his plan.

"Now the army can't buy food, and the soldiers need to eat, so let's let them go out to eat."

"In the future, the soldiers will be subsidized with a certain amount of Jianyan Tongbao every day, so that they can go out to eat, so that the food problem will be solved first."

"Your Highness, you may not know the current market, but with Jianyan Tongbao, I'm afraid it's not easy to spend." Shi Lance looked worried. "The last general is worried that something will go wrong."

"Don't worry, nothing will happen." Zhao Shuo motioned for the stone lance to relax. "Brother Shi, you should also know the reason why Lin'an City mainly uses silver for trading now."

Using silver to trade, he naturally felt that the safety of Jianyan Tongbao was poor, or in other words, he was skeptical that Da Song could survive this hurdle. If the Great Song Dynasty is finished, Jianyan Tongbao will lose its qualification as currency. Now that the Jin soldiers are strong, the south is full of smoke, and the uprisings are continuous, no one has a bottom in their hearts.

Of course, Shi Lance couldn't say these words, he just nodded.

"Is it convenient to trade in silver?" Zhao Shuo asked again.

Shi Lance shook his head, he really didn't know about this.

"Fluttershy, you should know that." Zhao Shuo asked sideways.

Fluttershy nods. "Your Highness, this is really inconvenient, big transactions are easy to say, some small transactions will be very awkward, to be converted into a few millimeters of silver, and silver is to be weighed to know how heavy, so in many places to do business, buyers and sellers often smash silver, a little bit of weight."

"Your Highness, even if it is inconvenient to trade with silver, but Jianyan Tongbao ......" Shi Lance said this, paused, suppressed the words behind him, and changed his tone. Your Highness, if the last general forcibly gives the soldiers Jianyan Tongbao and asks them to go out to eat, but they can't spend it with Jianyan Tongbao, this will be a problem. ”

"Don't you want our restaurant!" Zhao Shuo said lightly.

After finishing speaking, Zhao Shuo, who had a dry mouth, picked up the wine bowl again and drank it all.

"Our own restaurant, Jianyan Tongbao can naturally be circulated! And it can still cycle between you and me. ”

Shi Yan's eyes lit up, he was not stupid, he had completely understood what Zhao Shuo meant at this moment.

If the soldiers go out to eat, if other hotels don't charge it, they will naturally enter Zhao Shuo's restaurant in the end. And these Jianyan Tongbao, if Zhao Shuo can't spend it, he can transport them back to the stone lance for secondary use.

"Your Highness, although the method is good, but if it continues like this, I'm afraid the restaurant won't be able to hold on. After all, there are too many soldiers in the barracks. Although Shi Lance figured it out, he was still a little worried.

For this point, Zhao Shuo thought about it, he had to spend a lot of silver every day to buy ingredients, but what he received was Jianyan Tongbao that could not be circulated, and it was possible to return it to Shi Lance in the end, which seemed to be a loss, and it really didn't last long, but as a person who was familiar with history, Zhao Shuo knew that the Great Song Dynasty would be fine at this time, so this worry was almost negligible with him. Zhao Shuo believes that as long as he persists for a while, the situation will naturally improve by then.

"Don't worry, I'm here, it'll be fine." Zhao Shuo said with great certainty.

Shi Lance nodded, at this time, he could only trust Zhao Shuo, because he had nothing to do about the current situation.

"Your Highness, the restaurant ......"

"Brother Shi has to train every day, and the affairs of the restaurant are naturally handled by me, and when the time comes, Brother Shi will distribute Jianyan Tongbao to the soldiers, and then let them go out to eat." Zhao Shuo said.

"How can this work?" The stone lance was a little anxious.

Zhao Shuo handed over the right to operate briquettes to him for free, and now he has to take care of the food of thousands of people in his entire barracks for free. If he didn't do something, he would completely become a burden to Zhao Shuo.

"Brother Shi, between you and me, why do you care about this." Zhao Shuo said calmly.

When Shi Lance heard this, he became even more anxious. "Since His Royal Highness called the last general brother, how can the last general drag His Highness down like this, if His Highness does not give up, the silver to buy the restaurant will be let the last one come out."

Zhao Shuo stood up suddenly. "Brother Shi, what is this!"

"Your Highness, if you don't let the last general give this money, the last general will really feel sorry for it." The stone lance stood up and saluted.

"Your Highness, since Deputy Commander Shi said so, Your Highness will fulfill him, if His Highness doesn't want to go, the old slave thinks that it is enough to invite him to drink a few more meals every month." Gonggong Feng got up and came over and said.

Gonggong Feng was worried in his heart, he was really afraid that Zhao Shuo would not accept it with the strength of wine, so they would have to rely on Shopkeeper Li tomorrow, because they really had no money.

"In that case!" Zhao Shuo pondered for a moment. "Brother Shi, even if you and I buy the restaurant together, you and I will earn half of the income, so I will be sure-footed."

"Your Highness!" The stone lance fell to his knees. "Your Highness has broken the general."

"Brother Shi, why do you have to be like this, I ......" Before Zhao Shuo finished speaking, Gonggong Feng came up. Whispered.

"Your Highness, Deputy Commander Shi's money is not just for buying a restaurant. If His Highness shares the benefits with him equally, then the relationship with Deputy Commander Shi ......"

Zhao Shuo was stunned, and then realized that he was wrong, the silver given by Shi Lance was nominally to buy a restaurant, but in fact it was also a manifestation of loyalty. If Zhao Shuo's interests are equally divided, it will have some meaning of simple cooperation.

"Since Brother Shi said so, then I will redistribute it, and the benefits will be divided into two parts, the share given to Brother Shi, as an emergency, is used to pay the soldiers, if the country's military salary arrives, Brother Shi can pay it back to me. In this way, Brother Shi has no opinion. ”

After hearing this, the stone lance saluted again. "Your Highness."

In this way, a meal of wine solves all the problems, whether it is the silver taels that Zhao Shuo needs, or the food that Shi Shu is worried about now, or the military salary that he is worried about in the future, everything is solved.

Zhao Shuo was very happy, and Shi Lance was also very happy, so the two of them raised their glasses again to invite the moon and talked about the wine until the moonlight was hazy and they were both drunk.
