Chapter 801: The pressure of being a eunuch is so great
As soon as he entered the Dragon and Phoenix Store, Xie Hong happened to hear this discussion. γReading.comγ
When he was in college in his previous life, he often talked with a few die-hard friends in a fast food restaurant, pointing out the country, and his heart was full of longing for his own future and enthusiasm for making the country better.
"Brother Xie, this matter should be confidential, so that it can be ...... in front of the public Wouldn't it be terrible if it was found out to the Japanese people? Xie Hong didn't care much, but showed a look of remembrance, and the fat man saw it in his eyes, but he was very worried.
The fat man is still the commander of the East Factory, and with the change of the government, the factory guard is also advancing with the times.
The first is the shift of the center of gravity, Jinyiwei originally had the function of collecting military intelligence, in the war against Annam, the war against the north, have shown their skills, and now according to the change of national policy, Jinyiwei is working hard in the transformation, and the military intelligence bureau of later generations is becoming more and more similar.
The East Factory began to return to its original appearance. The establishment of the East Factory began in the eighteenth year of Yongle, and the purpose of Cheng Zu was to worry that the Jinyi Guard would be difficult to control, or that it would be infiltrated by civil officials, and later generations did not know, but all in all, the East Factory was set up to balance the Jinyi Guard.
When it was first established, although the scope of investigation in Dongchang was wide, they only had the power to monitor and arrest people, and the captured criminals had to be handed over to the Beizhen Fusi for interrogation. In Xie Hong's view, Dongchang during the Yongle period was very similar to the FBI in later generations, both of which were directly under the command of the supreme leader, and they could also intervene in anything, and they were also only focused on cases.
While sighing at the wisdom of the ancients, Xie Hong turned out the old system of the East Factory, and after a little improvement, it was re-implemented. Therefore, Gu Fatzi has a lot more things to take care of than before, which also makes him a little nervous.
The Ming Dynasty and the Wa State have just resumed exchanges, and according to common sense, it is unlikely that the Ming Dynasty will have the Wa State to do it carefully, and the latter will not have time to arrange it at all. Moreover, although the appearance of the Japanese and the Ming people is generally similar, there are many differences in details, and the Japanese want to send fine work into the Central Plains, which is also very conspicuous. As for the Han annihilation who surrendered...... Just think about the treatment of the Ming maritime merchants in the Japanese country, and there should be very few people who have that kind of thought.
However, if the Japanese state is a far-sighted person, there is still a good chance to set up an espionage network. Nowadays, the Fengyue place in the capital is full of widows, it is difficult to say whether there are any annihilation among these people, in line with the principle of being careful and not making a big mistake, Gu Dayong raised concerns.
What can be said in the restaurant, can be said in the Qinglou, these scholars have only just come to the capital, and they can break Xie Hong's strategy for the Japanese in one word, so wouldn't it be easy for the Japanese to find out about this plan?
"As long as you learn the basics of economics, and then you are willing to think, you can easily see the truth in it, and it is not complicated at all, not to mention that the governor of the academy will mention it? But it doesn't matter, Brother Ma came back with a message, saying that the Japanese kingdom is going well, and in addition to the Osaka Special Zone, six ports have been opened, and there are countless daimyo who have this intention......"
Patting the fat man on the shoulder, Xie Hong said with deep feelings: "The Japanese people have already got the sweetness, so in the short term, they will definitely not think about the long-term, after all, the immediate benefits are real." You have to know how difficult it is to build an industrial system from scratch, not to mention anything else, smelting alone is a difficult hurdle for them to overcome. β
He smiled, his expression full of ridicule: "There is not enough steel, and trying to build an industrial system is just a fool's dream." Some people may see the problems of the economic system, but in the Wa country, a person with such insight will definitely not be able to lower his status, and when he sees the national crisis, he will definitely be able to see the benefits he can obtain from it......"
"The same reason, Brother Gu, think about what those scholars did? Don't you understand? Xie Hong's last reminder was like an empowerment for the fat man, and he suddenly woke up.
"No wonder Long Live Lord was always talking about conspiracy Yang Mou a while ago, making people look at the pit, but they can only jump into it, this is Yang Mou! Awesome, awesome. β
"It's just humanoid, it's nothing, let's hurry up and see the emperor." Taking out the pocket watch and looking at it, Xie Hong frowned, "At this time...... The emperor won't be in the kitchen again, right? β
"It's definitely true, Long Live Lord said that the store should be low-key, and people can't see through the collection, so it's generally in the back kitchen, and only when the business is hot, will they go upstairs and say what to appreciate the results." Gu Da had a bitter fat face, like a large bitter gourd, and he felt that the generation gap between himself and Zhengde was getting deeper and deeper.
A broken restaurant, no matter how hot the business is, can there still be a big court meeting, and there are many people in front of the Taihe Palace? Grandeur than that? Why is there such a sense of accomplishment? The fat man really couldn't understand it, so he was very depressed.
The layout of the dragon and phoenix store is very modern, and when it comes to the back kitchen, this feeling is even stronger, this time not because of the layout, but because of a certain equipment, yes, it is the most common equipment in the summer of later generations...... The three blades rotate rapidly, giving the illusion of being one, but the 'whirring' wind blows the smoke from the kitchen, making the vision much clearer, and at the same time reminding the viewer that the blades are spinning rapidly, well, this thing is an electric fan.
"Big brother, you came just in time, let me tell you, this teppanyaki is really very popular, dozens of copies were sold early in the morning, and by noon, there were hundreds or thousands of copies, okay, great, big brother, you said, should I register a patent for this thing?" The kitchen was very stuffy, but Zhengde was still so energetic, of course, the electric fan over there was mainly blowing at him.
"Forget about the patent, this thing has no technical content at all." Xie Hong pouted, such a simple way of eating, the Ming people would not look at it. The reason why there was no such thing in the past was mainly due to the limitation of objective conditions.
In the folk, meat is quite a luxury thing, there is no corn and fodder in this era, and the pig grows very slowly, so the butcher is generally more cattle, in the story of Fan Jinzhongju, Fan Jin's father-in-law is the butcher, when Fan Jin was still a showman, he often despised his son-in-law.
Now there is more meat, mainly because of the mutual market between Liaodong and Duoyan Sanwei, so a large number of livestock have been traded to the Ming Dynasty, so the idea of teppanyaki can be realized. As soon as the price of meat is low, it is too simple to imitate this thing, and it is completely impossible to protect the patent.
"That's it......" Zhengde blinked and sighed in disappointment, "Speaking of which, there are no products with core competitiveness in this store, two days ago, Dayong told me that there are already stores in Dongcheng that have started selling bean paste buns, and I asked Ma Yongcheng to buy a few back, which is not worse than ours at all." β
Are you sighing? If you have the opportunity to travel to the next generation to see, the cottage ability of the Chinese people is quite remarkable, and what is the mere bean paste?
muttering to himself in his stomach, Xie Hong coughed twice and said with relief: "Ahem, opening a restaurant, the core competitiveness is not in the dishes, the main thing is to look at the brand effect, the layout of the store, service, decoration, these are all integrated, and when the chain operation reaches a certain scale, you can form a sufficient brand effect." β
"Is it just to open a branch?" Zhengde thought for a while, looked at Xie Hong, and said eagerly: "According to what you said, big brother, what you are doing now is fast food, which should be more suitable for places with a higher pace of life, is this the case in Tianjin?" Can I open a branch in Tianjin? β
"It should be possible, but this kind of thing doesn't need to bother the second brother, you can go out in person, just find someone, well, for example, Brother Ma is good, he has accumulated a lot of experience in Houdefang, and now he is just the right person for you to be the shopkeeper." Xie Hong saw through Zhengde's intentions and immediately recommended a suitable candidate.
"Actually, the current capital is also very fun, you see, the previous hot air balloon, as well as the latest electric fan made by the School of Physics, don't you like it very much? Let me tell you, inside information, there are several new inventions coming out recently, and it would be a pity if you were not in the capital. β
"That's just as well." Zhengde thought about it, and the unevenness on his face gradually faded, but he glanced at the electric fan, and said with some unhappiness: "This electric fan is very interesting, but it seems to be no different from letting people fan the fan, you see Xiao San'er sweating profusely, it seems to be more tired than fanning the wind with a fan." β
"Well...... When it's not an emergency, let's make do with it first. Xie Hong glanced at the third father-in-law and turned his head very unsympathetically. There were too many geniuses in the Ming Dynasty, and after Xie Hong guided them, the energy of various fields sprung up like mushrooms all of a sudden. At the moment, the School of Physics is already facing a split, and it is a large-scale split, and electrical power is one of them.
Although the time is still short, no one has achieved results in the means of power generation, but with the inspiration of Xie Hong's hand-cranked generator, various applications of electricity have come into being. This electric fan was designed by a certain clan that loves carpenter's work, referring to the oar technology of sea ships.
As an invention, this technology is commendable, but the practical surname is very low, after all, the current generator is too backward, and after Xie Hong saw it, he just sent it to the palace, wanting Zhengde to see it fresh.
However, whether a thing is good or not depends on the person who uses it. The third father-in-law is best at slapping horses, and when it reaches his hands, the electric fan immediately emits a dazzling light.
"Hooray...... Slave...... Maid ...... Not tired. Hearing the conversation here, the third father-in-law, who was panting like a cow, raised his head, he kept shaking the handle in his hand, and showed a flattering smile to Zhengde.
Is this all right? It's not good to say that it's not good to ask for it, but I'm not tired, wow, the pressure of being a eunuch is really great! Xie Hong shook his head and sighed, the work of eunuchs is really not possible for ordinary people, the requirements are too high.
