Chapter 398: A New Measure for Blue Sea and Silver Sand

In a few days, Concubine Wu Hui was not having a good time, the emperor has always lived with Queen Wang, although Queen Wang has just returned from Huayuan,.

It wasn't until Wu Feng saved the money again and ran back to the capital like an eight-hundred-mile rush that Concubine Wu Hui knew that things were in trouble and waited for the emperor's punishment with fear.

As a result, what she waited for was only a punishment of half a year, on the grounds that she took the things in the palace and sold them.

This is natural, raising money to deal with Zhang Xiaobao, the Wu family has money to contribute power, and it takes a lot just to use it for other people's handling fees, as well as intelligence officers who run back and forth, as well as various gatherings held from time to time to attract people, all money.

Concubine Wu Hui, who was temporarily relieved, looked at the scenery of the flowers blooming when the warm breeze blew outside, and asked the palace maid who was waiting beside her, "Is there news from the house again?" ”

"Back to Niangniang's words, Wu Feng came back and got sick, the doctor saw it, said that he was scared, and he would raise it for a while, Wu Feng said that he thought of a good way to make Datang Qian Zhuang lose money, especially after waiving any handling fees, but he didn't dare to do it again, for fear of losing his head."

The palace maid replied and put a small foot warmer at Concubine Wu Hui's feet, and the foot warmer was marked with the mark of the sect between the sea and the clouds.

Concubine Wu Hui has long been accustomed to using the things of the Zhang and Wang families, even if she hates to death in her heart, she will not fight against it in terms of enjoyment.

Hearing the palace maid's reply, he bowed his head and said: "I'm scared, I must have been scared in Suzhou, let him tell the plan, this time he doesn't have to do it, change it to Wu Yu to arrange, the palace still doesn't believe it, he Zhang Xiaobao is busy with the affairs of Jili Prefecture, while busy buying and selling, and he has to take care of the two evil obstacles of the queen Wang, and he can also free his hands to deal with one attack after another." ”

"Yes." The palace maid turned to leave, and another palace maid took her place and stood beside Concubine Wu Hui.

The news quickly spread to the outer house, and after hearing it, Wu Feng, who was lying on the sickbed, sighed helplessly, and called Wu Yu to the front to admonish.

"This action, be careful and careful, exchange a large amount of copper money for silk, can suppress the price of silk, and then store the silk in the bank, take it with zero, then the money is more and the money is less, and then the money is exchanged for silk, if it is a few times, I have more money and the money is accumulated."

Wu Yu nodded, "I know, it is to use the money to reduce the price of the silk, save the silk in the money bank, and then withdraw the money, I can earn it every time, I can do it." ”

Wu Feng became even more anxious when he saw Wu Yu's indifferent appearance, and said: "It's easy to do, but it's hard to hide." ”

"What's so hard? I am not in a hurry to withdraw the money, prepare more money for silk, and then take it little by little, spend three months, accumulate a few times, and then take it out together. ”

Wu Yu felt that he finally had the opportunity to go out and do something, and he was very excited, it can be said that the birth calf is not afraid of tigers.

Wu Feng regretted telling the plan a little, motioned for Wu Yu to sit on the couch, and said weakly: "Don't underestimate Zhang Xiaobao, the people who underestimate him have been cleaned up by him, this confrontation, don't you see something?" ”

"See what? Zhang Xiaobao found out our moves, but we still won, Niangniang didn't suffer any losses, but Zhang Xiaobao let the money village lose some of its income, the first person to save money will not charge any fees, and after a while, other people who save money will not be charged, no matter how powerful Zhang Xiaobao is, is it not a passive loss? ”

Wu Yu carefully analyzed this incident, thinking that his side had taken advantage, and thought of the trick of exchanging silk for money immediately, and said: "When I change to a certain amount, I will tell others about this method, and see how he Zhang Xiaobao can deal with it?" ”

Wu Feng felt that he had no strength anymore, he looked at Wu Yu with hatred of iron and steel, and sat up strongly, he felt that his head was buzzing, and he almost fainted, leaned against the wall next to the couch, and said to Wu Yu who showed a concerned look:

"Zhang Xiaobao didn't take his mother in his eyes at all, just like an adult watching a child play that kind of small trick, what to do and what to do after easily resolving it, I waited for a way to come up with a solution, it was a joke for Zhang Xiaobao at all.

Do you really think he couldn't think of any other way to decide not to charge a storage fee? It was all the money banks in Datang that moved together, and they were not affected in any way after the move, if he really came up with it temporarily, how could he make all the money banks so stable?

It shows that he has such a plan for a long time, but he didn't take it out and use it, so that he could use it by taking the opportunity of our hands, I am really worried that the plan of saving silk for money will be hit by the same blow, be careful, step by step, do not be reckless. ”

"Really? Well, I'll be careful. Wu Yu asked uncertainly and agreed.

The sound of the waves, the clear water.

Zhang Xiaobao, who has returned to Jili Prefecture, began to direct the people below to be busy with spring ploughing, and this year, as last year, a variety of soybeans and less rice will be planted, and when will the problem of the river be solved, when will all rice be planted.

It's good to grow soybeans and raise land, but as for the yield, it doesn't matter, and the tax paid last year was not much, just a meaning, and the surrounding state capitals are the same.

Most of the Andong Governor's Mansion has been handed over, and the Raole Governor's Mansion, the Songmo Governor's Mansion and the Bohai Governor's Mansion are still holding on, unwilling to set this precedent, and once the tax is paid, Li Longji's absolute rule will be recognized, which is different from paying tribute.

Wang Juan was not ready for battle, and continued to train her army, and looked forward to the opportunity to have a skirmish, so that she could use it to train her soldiers, and soldiers who had never seen blood were always recruits.

In addition to what Xiaobei and others have to do every day, they now have another project, that is, to watch their younger brothers and sisters, the two little ones cried for a few days after leaving their mother, and then gradually got used to it, and it was better.

Usually I just feed, sleep, and occasionally when I wake up, I look at the world curiously with my eyes wide open, and I alternate between crying and laughing.

"Why are they crying and laughing?" Xiaobei said curiously with his chin in his hand.

Xiaozhu was drawing the two little ones with her paintbrush on the side, even if they didn't look like them, they were still serious.

The big man didn't know how to answer, he was silent, Zhang Qiang, Zhang Gang, and Zhang Fang were also attracted by Xiaobei's question, and they were trying to think about it, while Xiaohai continued to mumble various mathematical terms.

Only Xiao Yuan held a tea bowl with honey water in it, and drank it from time to time, looking like an old pedant, and occasionally took two sentences from the book to show his erudition and strong memory.

Becky's question was answered by two little guys, with a muffled single tone coming out of their mouths.

It wasn't until a ray of sunlight shone in with the door that the room returned from the quiet to the lively.

Zhang Xiaobao brought his medical doctor over to see the two little guys, and like Xiaobei and them, they had to check once a day, so as not to cause unimaginable consequences due to negligence.

Xiaobei watched the doctor examin, pulled his brother's clothes and asked the question just now.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it, and did not say that crying and laughing are the easiest emotional actions for people to express, but said to Xiaobei: "Because they know that there are happiness and disasters in people's lives since they came to this world." ”

"Oh~! So that's the case, so don't cry when we encounter sad things in the future, and laugh all the time? Becky seemed to understand a little, but it didn't seem to be able to fully understand.

"Cry when you should cry, laugh when you should laugh, shouldn't Xiaobei also check today?" Zhang Xiaobao touched his sister's head and said.

Xiaobei nodded vigorously, "Well, once every three days, good three days, brother, when will Xiaolu come back?" ”

"It's coming soon, I guess I'll be back in a few days." Zhang Xiaobao looked to the north as he spoke, the people who were sent out to the Mohe River last year did not know whether they were adapting or not, according to the estimation of the distance, they should have returned, it is estimated that the road is not easy to walk, and the time is delayed on the road.

This time I came back not only to bring back a large amount of ginseng, but also mink and a variety of local and road animals and plants, those that can be artificially bred will be artificially reproduced, and those that cannot be bred will see if they can be processed to find a better market.

"Then I'll wait, they say there's going to be a war here, isn't that true?"

"Are you afraid? If you don't fight, it's far away from here, and no one dares to fight. ”

"Don't be afraid, I still have stumbling blocks, brother, I'm old, can I have a family and a five-grade official." Xiaobei remembered that he had been rejected when he asked for a family.

Zhang Xiaobao thought about it for a while, nodded and agreed, "Okay, then Xiaobei wants to find the family by himself, and I won't give the money to support the family, use your money, do you want to find it?" ”

"Think about it, I'll tell my brother when the time comes." Becky shook her head triumphantly and said.

At this time, the doctor also checked the two little ones.

"Little boy, everything is normal, whether to give Xiaobei and little lady them a check."

"Well, check it out, they've been eating less sugar lately, let's see how the teeth are." Zhang Xiaobao nodded in response.

When Jili Prefecture was peaceful, wherever there were water and clouds and blue sea silver sand restaurants, it was chaotic.

Bihai Yinsha fought a price war, and the prices of wine and vegetables fell again and again, robbing a lot of business in Shuiyunjian.

Just when everyone thought that Shuiyunjian would also reduce the price, Shuiyunjian suddenly raised the price of wine and food, and found a lot of female guys who were responsible for ushering in the delivery.

The interior of the restaurant has been reduced, but there are some extra things in it, such as small bridges and flowing water, such as the reflection of the pool and the moon, all of which are made in the restaurant.

As a result, those who paid attention to this matter found that not only did the trading of Shuiyunjian not decrease, but more wealthy people were willing to go to Shuiyunjian, and it seemed that eating in Shuiyunjian was superior to others.

Some of the people who know about this situation are happy, and some are very angry.

Concubine Wu Hui naturally belonged to the angry group, and she planned to use the merchants of Jiangnan Dongdao to weaken Shui Yunjian, but who knew that she had achieved Shui Yunjian, and immediately asked people to tell Wu Feng to find a way.

Wu Feng's illness was almost over, but he was still a little weak, so he got up and brought Jiang Lan to discuss with him.

"I don't know what to do with the military steward?" After the two of them sat down in the study, Jiang Lan asked out loud.

"What else can I do, Shui Yunjian didn't lose money, but made more money, this is different from what I thought at the beginning, can you think of a way again?" Wu Feng was helpless when he received this errand, and said to Jiang Lan when he asked people to bring refreshments.

Jiang Lan also frowned when she heard this, thought about it in her heart, and said: "This is not easy to do, behind Shui Yunjian is Song Jinggong, the first person on the top list of Monopoly, if you want to compete with him in business, one is troublesome to calculate, and the other is not enough money." ”

"You have no money?" Wu Feng asked.

"Yes, but it can't all be used against Shuiyun, now the price can't be lowered, this is useless for Shuiyunjian, my Jiangnan Dongdao businessmen add up, and they will be able to equal the money of Zhang Wang's two families, Zhang Wang's two families have countless money, if you really fight hard, it will kill a thousand enemies and lose eight hundred.

The military manager can't let me wait for the Zhang Wang family to fight for nothing, right? At the beginning, it was said that I made money, but now I have invested more and earned less, and I can't afford to fight anymore. ”

Jiang Lan looked like she had been deceived, as if she was complaining and helpless.

Wu Feng also looked a little embarrassed, but he didn't care, but now some merchants in Jiangnan Dongdao led by Jiang Lan have already boarded the thief ship, and they can't get down if they want to.

Listening to Jiang Lan's complaints, he asked, "Then what should I do now?" I can't watch the water and clouds grow again. ”

"Now, now, since we want to deal with Shui Yunjian, then we can't just wait for us to help, isn't there anyone who resents Shui Yunjian? It's better to find more people and join forces, and then I will find some way to divide a part of the business to those who are willing to unite. ”

Jiang Lan pondered for a moment and proposed.

"It's okay, I'll contact you, and let Zhang Xiaobao know the consequences of offending her mother when the time comes." Wu Feng agreed, and picked up the tea bowl again.

Jiang Lan also took a sip of tea, put down the tea bowl and left.

Wu Feng began to be busy wooing other people, wanting to deal with Shui Yunjian together.

A few days later, Wu Feng brought Jiang Lan here again and went to a courtyard, where a lot of people had gathered, and they were all talking and laughing in a bunch.

As soon as Wu Feng entered the courtyard, everyone stepped forward to greet him.

"Come on, come on, let me introduce you to a person, the owner of the blue sea and silver sand, the Jianglan Jiangdong family, you see, the Jiangdong family, this is the Feng Dong family of Jintao Pavilion, this is the Zheng Dong family of the treasure house, this is the Wang Dong family of the Pin Ming Yuan, this is the ......"

Wu Feng began to introduce everyone.

Compared to Jiang Lan's Bihai Yinsha, other people's family property is less, and if they don't gather everyone, they really can't cooperate with Bihai Yinsha.

The merchants looked at Jiang Lan and were more conflicted, jealous of Jiang Lan's blue sea and silver sand, and admired the blue sea and silver sand, and they didn't know how to speak.

Fortunately, there was Wu Feng circling around, and gradually, the distance between everyone and Jiang Lan was shortened, serving wine and food, everyone started eating, talking about Fengyue, talking about the north and south of the river, until the evening, when the banquet was removed and replaced with tea and fruit, Wu Feng began to get into the topic.

"Everyone, I came to you today, in fact, you also know in your hearts, that is, to unite to deal with Shui Yunjian, as we all know, Shui Yunjian has not robbed other people's transactions over the years, and it is a wine bar, a dock and a supermarket, and there is no place for the original merchants, and then let them develop, how can we survive?"

"The military steward's words are not bad." Jiang Lan echoed, "My people from Jiangnan Dongdao came here just to make some money, but Shui Yunjian immediately began to suppress us, if we let it go, there will be endless troubles, we should work together." ”

The businessmen immediately followed suit, saying that it was all bad in the water and clouds, they didn't dare to say the Zhang and Wang families directly, for fear that someone would betray them, so that the Zhang and Wang families would know, only for the water and clouds, it was bought and sold, and there was no need to worry about the Zhang and Wang families using other means.

Saying that, many people understand in their hearts that it is not that Shui Yunjian has done too much, but that they and others have not grasped the opportunity.

When Shuiyunjian expanded, it was always the businessmen in the same industry in the same industry in the early place to ask about cooperation, but after reading the contract, some people thought that they could take advantage of it more, and even hoped that Shuiyunjian would not cooperate with it after coming over and get benefits from it.

As a result, I saw what it means to cross the river with a raptor, and one by one I didn't lose anything, and I only earned a little less than before, but after watching the other people who cooperated with Shui Yun earn more one by one, my heart was unbalanced.

I wanted to pay for the things produced by the local people who cooperated with Shui Yunjian and snatch the business, but I couldn't succeed because there was a contract.

Then go to the water and clouds to cooperate, the conditions of the water and clouds are more harsh, people live a face, trees live a skin, and they can't agree to cooperate when they block this breath, so they can only hate in their hearts.

Now that I have finally found an opportunity, it doesn't matter what I say, what matters is whether I can suppress the water and clouds.

After a while, after the grievance meeting was held, everyone unified the caliber of action, that is, the goal was to defeat Shuiyunjian, as for whether it could be defeated in the end, it didn't matter, let's try to fight first.

"Steward Wu, I don't know what to do?" Feng Dongjia of Jintao Pavilion saw that he had said a lot, but he didn't have a way to actually act, so he asked out loud.

Wu Feng didn't know what to do, so he turned his head to look at Jiang Lan, "Let's let the Jiang Dong family talk about it." ”

Jiang Lan was not polite, coughed, and said, "It's okay, let me talk about it, you can help me think about whether there is anything missing." ”

"I think so, if you want to deal with Shui Yunjian, you must first knock out his signboard, that is, Shui Yunjian Wine Hug, otherwise as long as there is a place where Shui Yunjian Wine is embraced, it will be very difficult to move him to other deals, do you think so?"

"Yes." Several people nodded in response.

Jiang Lan continued: "If you want to deal with the wine between the water and clouds, you naturally have to rely on the blue sea and silver sand, which is also the wine and sand, and snatching the business between the water and the clouds is a success." ”

Speaking of which, Feng Dongjia interjected, "Jiangdongjia, the blue sea silver sand wine is good, but the recent price reduction doesn't seem to have any effect, not only did it not suppress Shuiyunjian, but it made Shuiyunjian's trading better, many people feel that eating in Shuiyunjian is superior, is it possible to continue to reduce the price?" ”

As if someone had been told about the sore spot, Jiang Lan's face was slightly red, and he explained: "You also know that behind Shui Yunjian is Song Jinggong, who is the first on the top list of Monopoly, and behind Song Jinggong is Zhang Xiaobao, the youngest son of the Zhang family, who is above the list.

With the skills of the two of them, it is too easy to get back a game, Bihai Yinsha was not prepared at the time, and suffered a little loss, and now he has thought of a countermeasure, but there is a lack of money, so he needs everyone to work together. ”

"I wonder what the Jiangdong family has come up with?" Seeing that the other party said calmly, Wang Dongjia admitted the shortcomings of his side, so he asked.

"This ...... Grading, the blue sea and silver sand are divided into three levels, the highest level is on the third floor, followed by the second floor, and finally the first floor, which can earn both rich people's money and ordinary people's money.

Bihai Yinsha decided to combine the two together, you are a shareholder of Bihai Yinsha, expand trading, I am willing to give up the first, second and third floors of the three, I only need to have one floor, the other two floors are used to buy shares. ”

Jiang Lan explained.

"I don't know how to do that?" Zheng Dongjia asked again.

Jiang Lan took out a few pieces of paper from his arms, put them on the table, and said: "Except for the capital and the central city of Gyeonggi Province, other places are discounted, such as Jichang in Cizhou, Kannai Province, where the blue sea and silver sand are worth three thousand guan, if you take out three thousand guan, then each will account for fifty percent."

The first floor, the second floor, the third floor and the third floor are allocated to two, three or four, and those who want the first floor must take out twenty percent of the money, the second floor will take out thirty percent of the money, and the third floor will be forty percent, and the additional one percent will be used to deal with public relations, that is to say, if I want to occupy the first floor, I need to take out 1,200 yuan, and if I want to occupy the third floor, it will be 2,400 yuan, and the additional one percent will also be paid, which is the number of six hundred divided by nine, and more detailed on the paper. ”

Everyone listened to Jiang Lan's words and began to circulate those few pieces of paper, which was written very clearly, when they took the money, they were together, and when the time came, they would be counted separately, including the cook, and if they still wanted to use the original blue sea and silver sand cook, they would have to pay another money.

The shares of the people in each wine bar shall not exceed the original value of the wine bar, that is to say, Jiang Lan will have a controlling stake, and part of the money invested by the people will be used for decoration and part of it will be used for advertising.

In order to show sincerity, Jiang Lan does not charge any signboard fees, otherwise the name of Bihai Yinsha alone would be worth a lot of money.

Later, the money invested will be used to buy the surrounding houses, and build more courtyards for people to rest, and the proportion is equal to the second, third and fourth floors.

The third floor is high-end and has to make the best meals, the second floor is in the middle range and can be a little worse but the view must be there, and the first floor is low-end, which has the nature of fast food and can be tasted slowly.

In this way, the low-end earns ordinary people's money, the second floor is the same as the noble guests in the Shuiyun room, and the third floor is a boutique and higher than the Shuiyunjian.

The three-story building is left to the businessmen to choose first, and the rest of Jiang Lan is then wanted, as for the blue sea and silver sand in Gyeonggi Province, others need to take more money, and when they occupied the place, they only spent less on public relations.

A group of merchants began to sum up, how much money each person should take, which floor to occupy, and discussed and discussed, and finally everyone found that the third floor of the blue sea and silver sand could not be occupied.

One is that the third floor is small, there may not be so many guests, and the cost is large, and the other is that if you want to stand on the third floor, you must have good cooks and ingredients, otherwise others will not go to the third floor.

Totaling and summing up, everyone reached an intention first, and immediately went to prepare money, occupy the first and second floors, and prepare a separate place for Jiang Lan in a position on the second floor, so that he could do something else, so that the arrangement of shares would be reasonable.

In order to take revenge, everyone raised money very quickly, and within a few days, a large amount of money was delivered to Jiang Lan's hands, and the shopkeeper was sent over to see how to spend it.

As the saying goes, there is no impermeable wall in the world, and when Wu Feng and Jiang Lan were preparing, they didn't know who else had spread the news.

Gao Lishi, who has been paying attention to his son, knew about this matter, but today he sent a lot of things from Jili Prefecture, which contained ingredients, and Gao Lishi asked people to make them and bring them to Li Longji.

Li Longji has been in a very good mood recently, one is that Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan sent people from the north to come back, saying that the land there is good, there are almost no people in the local area, and there are many resources.

The other is that the two of them bought a large piece of land in the Xincheng Prefecture Governor's Mansion, not far from the Andong Metropolitan Protectorate, and found a lot of coal there, which could be used for smelting, and large pieces of amber and coal essence to be sent over to make ornaments.

In addition, since Datang Qianzhuang has become more stable since Suzhou, there are more people willing to save money, and Zhang Xiaobao is gradually diluting other people's shares.

If you have more money, you can expand externally, and now what you have to do is to turn the recruited soldiers into compulsory soldiers, in fact, the money spent on the two is about the same, but the difference between compulsory soldiers and recruited soldiers is that they have stronger combat effectiveness.

Don't look at the cost of waiting for a few years to let them go back to find a job, but when they fight, they know what to fight for, and a warrior with faith is invincible.

With so many good things gathered together, Li Longji deliberately found Empress Wang and Concubine Wu Hui in Xingqing Palace during the meal, and the two women had their own calculations in their hearts, and they were harmonious on the surface.

The dishes had already been arranged, but when they were eating, everyone suddenly found that there was an extra dish, Li Longji looked at the extra dishes and turned his head and asked Gao Lishi with his eyes.

"Your Majesty, I just sent it for a short time, frozen tiger meat, Xiaobao said that this is the tiger meat of the Siberian tiger, it tastes good, and it can also nourish the body, so it was delivered, and there is a complete tiger skin and tiger bone tiger whip."

Gao Lishi explained, and motioned for the little eunuch to bring a piece of it.

"Okay, tiger meat is good, what have Xiaobao and Juan been busy with lately? Lux is clear? Li Longji said happily.

"Back to Your Majesty, Xiaobao and Juan Juan sent a letter saying what kind of steel-making furnace they wanted to build, and found a lot of craftsmen to go to the New City Governor's Mansion, and also sent 3,000 soldiers to escort them, but they failed several times and still didn't succeed, and they are working hard, if they succeed, my sword soldiers will be even better."

Gao Lishi replied again, and then frowned, embarrassed: "Your Majesty, I heard that Bihai Yinsha has found many merchants to deal with Shui Yunjian, and they are decorating on a large scale, I don't know if Xiaobao and Juan Juan can still divide their hearts to take care of it." ”

"And this?" Li Longji was stunned for a moment, and he was also worried.

At this time, Concubine Wu Hui explained softly: "Your Majesty, Xiaobao has a good ability, and it is no problem to deal with a mere blue sea and silver sand, but it really can't be done, Your Majesty can make a decree to let the officials who have blue sea and silver sand everywhere help Shui Yun for a while, if Bihai and Silver Sand don't listen, send troops to seize him." ”

"Your Majesty, by all means, send troops to do it, where is the water and clouds?" Colliers hurriedly dissuaded.

"It's the concubine who said it's bad, and it really can't send troops to take care of it, oops, so how is it good, Xiaobao and Juan Juan didn't send anything to the concubine." Concubine Wu Hui also hurriedly followed.

How could Li Longji not know that Concubine Wu Hui was insincere, but no one was inclined to anyone, especially not to Concubine Wu Hui, otherwise Xiaobao and Juan Juan would not be in a hurry.

"Write to Xiaobao and let him know." Li Longji could only be reminded.

At this time, Queen Wang also spoke, "Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Xiaobao doesn't need to be reminded by others for this kind of trivial matter, she has her own way, Your Majesty just watch it." ”

Concubine Wu Hui was surprised by what she said, didn't Queen Wang protect Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan, and at a critical time, a reminder was stronger than anything else, the two of them were in Jili Prefecture, and if they got the news, they would be one step too late.

Gao Lishi also glanced at Queen Wang and didn't say anything.

Li Longji hesitated and nodded, agreeing with Queen Wang's statement.

Everyone began to eat again, only Queen Wang ate the most calmly, she knew what was going on with the blue sea and silver sand, and guessed from the words of Zhang Xiaobao and Wang Juan on the way back to Beijing, and secretly said that I don't know who is going to be unlucky, Xiaobao, this child, always likes to make sets for people, but don't teach Jun'er and Pan'er to be like this.

A meal is eaten plainly in each heart, and each goes back to its own place.

As soon as Queen Wang returned to her palace, she immediately found a group of palace maids to play, and Concubine Wu Hui sent someone to ask Wu Feng how the news leaked and kept his idea secret.

Gao Lishi still wrote a letter to Zhang Xiaobao and asked him if there was a way.

When Zhang Xiaobao received the letter, he was thinking about refractory bricks with Wang Juan, and if he wanted to build an open furnace and a blast furnace, he would not be able to do it without refractory bricks, and the failure again and again made both of them almost lose confidence.

"I said, how did you build a steel mill during the Industrial Revolution? Let's move it and still don't understand? Zhang Xiaobao was a little deflated.

"It is developed by many industries, don't worry, little by little, craftsmen still need time, and then think about how to make refractory bricks." Wang Juan was not in a hurry, he was thinking hard.

"That's a lot, just use clay, and then mix it with furnace ash and slag, and let the craftsman try the proportions himself, I don't believe I can't get it."

Zhang Xiaobao was so desperate that he sent this recipe to the craftsman.

Wang Juan also pressed his temples, took the unopened letter sent by Gao Lishi, tore it open and looked at it, and said to Zhang Xiaobao: "The fish is hooked, wait to see the excitement, look, there are really a lot of people who hate us." ”

"Oh? Someone has united? Good; After this time, it is estimated that many people will be honest, and there is no news from the Governor's Mansion of Xincheng, what is the reaction of the other party? ”

Zhang Xiaobao took the letter and asked with two glances.

"What else can I react to, I'm not happy, I feel like I've suffered a loss, I want to buy the land back, dream, it's an open-pit mine, it's easy to dig up, and it's easy to use to make steel."

Wang Juan handed Zhang Xiaobao another letter from there.

Zhang Xiaobao waved his hand and didn't answer, just knew it, and asked, "Is it time to send troops along the coast?" Let's go to North America and bring the good stuff back. ”

"Don't worry, train for another half a month, and then send a thousand people to explore the way, and your potatoes and buds will be available soon." Wang Juan didn't know if this trip would be successful, this can be said to be the first time that Datang went to explore North America, the distance was far away, and he hoped that the people sent out could overcome all kinds of difficulties.

Under the attention of many people, the renovated blue sea and silver sand reopened, the crackling firecrackers rang non-stop, and the people who cheered also lined up in a long line.

The people gathered around to see the excitement, and the people who ate among the water clouds were also curious, this was another war between two restaurants, but they didn't know who won and who lost.

Wu Feng was waiting for success, and Concubine Wu Hui was also looking forward to being able to breathe a sigh of relief.

For three days in a row, the business of Bihai Yinsha was very good, and there were also many female guys recruited here, especially on the third floor.

The grades were separated, and each made their own money, and Jiang Lan and the other businessmen were very happy.

But with the arrival of the fourth day, there are gradually fewer people who come to eat on Bihai Yinsha, to be precise, there are fewer people eating on the first and second floors, and the people who go to the third floor are still like that.

This situation made the businessmen who cooperated with Jiang Lan wonder, how could this be the case?

With all kinds of puzzles, Zheng Dong's family stopped a guest who had come to the restaurant for dinner a few days ago.

"Master Wan, what have you been busy with lately?" Zheng Dongjia asked without words.

"I'm not busy, just like before, you're busy, I'm wandering around." Master Wan was obviously perfunctory.

"Don't, it's noon, why don't you come in and have some food, I'll please." Zheng Dongjia was about to pull the other party into the restaurant as he spoke.

The other party saw that Zheng Dongjia wanted to pull himself in from the door, and struggled hard, but he really didn't have the strength to say: "Zheng Dongjia, don't be embarrassed for me, I'll just find a place to eat in front of me." ”

"Master Wan, why don't you want to come to Bihai Yinsha to eat?" Zheng Dongjia asked puzzled.

"Who said they didn't want to come? From the outside stairs to the third floor, I am still willing, but the cost is too big, I can't always come to eat every day, as for entering from this door, it is still forgotten, spend the same money, to eat in other restaurants is superior, in the blue sea and silver sand on the first floor and the second floor of the meal is inferior, I don't have nothing to find guilt. ”

Master Wan finally told the truth, and after speaking, taking advantage of the stunned work of Zheng Dongjia, he finally broke free of his clothes and hurried to the front, fearing that Zheng Dongjia would chase after him again.

Zheng Dongjia stayed where he was, looked back at Bihai Yinsha Restaurant, and thought about what Master Wan said just now, and suddenly realized.

"I see, the first and second floors are not low, if you really want to go to the low end, you have to continue to reduce the price, down to the level of a small restaurant, but in that case, even the capital can not come back, just the money spent for decoration is not a small amount.

If the price is raised, the level of the cook is not good, how good is it for people to go to the third floor or the water transportation room to eat? Why come to the first and second floors of Bihai Yinsha? What can I do? Stairs, yes, the outside stairs are best to be demolished, so that others don't know which floor to go up to when they enter the restaurant, okay, let's go to someone to discuss. ”

Zheng Dongjia muttered to himself, figured it out, turned around and left to discuss with his partner, otherwise he would have to pay for death.
