Liu Jun entered the store, and didn't pay attention to the gentlemen and talents at that table, although these people are either champions or top eyes and tanhua, and at the last time, they are also in the top ten of the second class.

I didn't see the proprietress in the store, so Liu Jun went directly to the back.

This German store looks in the alley facing Qianmen Street, which is a storefront, and inside is a lobby with many tables and chairs, and a large counter facing the door. At the counter sat an old man with a strange goatee, who was pulling an abacus with his head buried.

Seeing Liu Jun coming in, a big Yanma with plump breasts and fat buttocks, blond hair and blue eyes greeted him. She was wearing a cross-collared Hanfu skirt, but the originally more subtle Han-style dress was worn on her body, but it always felt a little too tight, her chest was high and straight, her waist was very thin, and her hips were very high.

"Welcome, what do you need?"

Liu Jun couldn't help but smile when he heard the unique Chinese dialect, this taste is too foreigner, but it can be said, this is Beijing dialect.

"Where's Lina?" Liu Jun asked directly.

As soon as the smiling Yanma heard that someone had asked Lina directly, he immediately looked at him with scrutinizing eyes.

"I'm her partner." Liu Jun had to add one more sentence.

"Are you Guo Guanren?" The Great Yanma asked tentatively.

Liu Jun nodded, and Yanma hurriedly said, "You wait, I'll report to Sister Lina." The Yanmar twisted his ass and went back to report the news.

In a moment, Lina trotted out, and as soon as she saw Liu Jun, her face immediately showed a look of joy, and she made no secret of it.

"Where did I think I offended you and made you hate me, and you won't come in the future?"

"There has been a lot of business at the end of the year."

"Go upstairs." Lina took Liu Jun's hand and walked upstairs, Liu Jun knew that the upstairs was originally Lina's accommodation, and it also served as a temporary warehouse to put some ingredients.

"The last time I listened to your opinion, I felt that the upstairs accommodation was a bit wasteful, so I cleaned up some of him. It has been renovated into a private room, so that the store can receive more customers, especially those who prefer quiet, without being disturbed. You can help me see if there is anything that needs to be improved, and if you can, it will be officially open for business in two days. ”

Liu Jun followed Lina upstairs, and Yanma also followed. The two Western women are very plump and beautiful, especially exotic. It is not uncommon for foreigners in Dahan to be in Beijing now, and there are many of them. Everyone is slowly getting used to these people.

When the proprietress pulled Liu Jun past Wu Weiye and them to go upstairs, these young talents felt a little amazing.

"Isn't the upstairs private room not open, why can this brother go up?" Zhou Zhong has always been a little arrogant, and they also heard that there is a restaurant opened by a Western woman here, which is full of foreign style and has a unique flavor. After everyone found here, they found that it was really good, and there were indeed blonde and blue-eyed Yiren women in the store, and they were quite tasteful.

These people are also considered merry talents. All of them are either eunuchs or landlords, and they are all talented and rich. When she saw that there was a private room upstairs, she wanted to go upstairs, but the beautiful proprietress said that the upstairs was not well decorated. It is temporarily closed to the public.

But now the proprietress personally dragged a young man upstairs, and everyone couldn't help but taste it.

Zhou Zhong was even more dissatisfied, and stood up directly to block the front.

"Ladies and gentlemen, it's not officially open upstairs yet." Liu Jun gave up.

"Don't you think we're easy to deceive? It is not open. What do you go up for? ”

Zhou Zhong's nostrils turned to the sky, and he snorted coldly, he was also a famous genius in Jiangnan. He also served as the president of the Fusha Society, and the imperial examination was also very smooth.

He first worked as a scholar in the Hanlin Academy, and then as an editor, and now he has entered the Chinese calligraphy department as a Chinese scholar, so he has become more and more conceited.

"I'm friends with this shopkeeper, I'll help her take a look." Liu Jun replied.

Zhou Zhong saw that Liu Jun was also in his twenties, dressed as a scholar, and he looked good, but that attitude of neither humility nor arrogance made him unhappy.

"May I ask where is the brother Tai, but I am a member of this exam, but I don't know if I can be ranked in the middle school, and how many places are on the list?"

These words are a little unkind, even Huang Zongxi and the others feel inappropriate when they hear it, how can there be such a question.

"This brother is invited, in Yuyao, Zhejiang, Huang Taichong, these are also the same year as undergraduates, and those seniors are all fellow villagers in the south of the Yangtze River, and now they are all officials in Beijing. I'll introduce you to my brother. ”

"It turned out to be the champion of Lianzhong Sanyuan, don't say that a few are the seven gentlemen of the Fushe, and these five, are they the five talents of Jiangnan?" Liu Jun listened to Huang Zongxi's brief introduction, but pretended to be surprised and admired.

Zhou Zhong's face really looked a little better.

Everyone looked at Liu Jun and waited for him to introduce himself. Liu Jun actually doesn't want to report his family, of course his true identity is not easy to say, and it is inconvenient to say his fake identity, his fake identity is Hanlin editor Guo Wende, Chongzhen thirteen years of Jinshi. There are all famous scholars here, as well as people from the Hanlin Academy, and when they report their identities, won't they be exposed?

Therefore, Liu Jun pretended not to know and resolutely did not report his identity.

"Slow talk, I'll go upstairs first."

"Wait, I think it's very close to my brother, why don't you let everyone go upstairs and have a look, and also help give some advice?" Wu Weiye said with a smile, he always felt that this young scholar was not simple, and he seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.

In fact, he has a small military department, and the opportunity to see the emperor is really rare. Even if it was a scene of seeing the emperor, there must be many people present, and he would at most look at it from a distance. As a courtier, he didn't dare to look at the face of the Son of Heaven presumptuously.

He couldn't have imagined that this seemingly ordinary scholar in front of him would actually be today.

Zhou Zhong also snorted with his nostrils facing the sky, "We are willing to show this store, you should be happy." ”

Chen Mingxia next to him immediately said to Liu Jun, "This Brother Zhou is a member of the Zhongshu House, and he usually drafts the edict for the emperor, if he helps to make some suggestions, it will definitely be easy to use." ”

Zhou Zhong was also not modest, with an arrogant look.

Liu Jun just smiled and said nothing, the people in the middle school sound like they are very high-end and high-grade, but in fact, they are ordinary people who don't understand the doorway.

The Han Dynasty also follows the Ming system, and the scholars are divided into several kinds, including the scholars in the middle of the book, the scholars in the east room of the Zhiwen Huadian, the scholars in the west room of the Zhiwu Yingdian, the scholars in the cabinet and the scholars in the cabinet system, all of which are from the seven products.

Zhou Zhongzhu is a member of the Chinese Book Branch, and the Chinese Book Department is not called a department, because it is outside the noon gate with the six subjects. The government offices are connected, so everyone is used to calling them sections. There are 20 members of the Chinese Calligraphy Division, regardless of seniority, only one of the elders has a palm print, and the rest are from the seventh rank of officials.

Zhou Chong is not the oldest in Chinese calligraphy, so naturally he is not a palm print.

He is only one of the twenty Zhongshu people in the Zhongshu Department, and in addition to the Zhongshu Department, the Dahan also has four Zhongshu people in the east room of the Zhiwen Huadian and other four Zhongshu people.

These five Yamen scholars have different divisions of labor.

The Chinese calligraphers wrote the edict and made the edict. Silver books, iron coupons, etc. The Wenhua Hall is a member of the house, and he is in charge of writing books. Wuying Hall is a person, and he is in charge of writing books, books, and albums. The cabinet is in charge of the civil affairs and the official edicts, translating the edicts, and unveiling foreign documents and posts. The military department discipline merit, survey base book. The person who makes the house is in charge of the confidential documents such as edicts, edicts, edicts, books, treasures, jade, sermons, tablets, inscriptions, and unveiling posts, as well as the base books of the royal palaces. In short, the actual task of these people is to write the edict as usual. In addition, there is no important authority.

To put it bluntly, the Zhongshu Sheren is actually the secretary. And it's not that kind of important secretary, it's just those ordinary secretaries, who usually don't even see the emperor.

It is similar to those general offices of the municipal party committee and the general office of the provincial party committee in later generations. When outsiders heard about it, they actually worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee, which was amazing. Leaders, contact with provincial leaders all day long.

In fact, many of them are just the most ordinary clerks, writing some written reports, and even pouring water on miscellaneous errands. This is the case with Zhou Zhong, and the Chinese calligraphy department is only writing edicts.

In the Tang and Song dynasties, the Zhongshushe had the right to draft edicts on behalf of the emperor, and the Zhongshushe talent at that time was an important position. Compared with that time, today's Zhongshu people are like the difference between the secretary general and the secretary, the chief of staff and the staff officer.

It is said that the staff officer does not have a commander, and the fart does not make a sound, Zhou Zhong, a Chinese scholar, outsiders do not know how awesome it is, but in fact, the real fart does not make a sound, and he usually can't even see the emperor's face. Their yamen is directly outside the noon gate, not in the imperial city, and it is even more impossible to touch the square outside the Qianqing Gate where the core yamen of the Han Dynasty is located.

Lina is very good at business, she has been in Dahan for a long time, and she only knows that the status of the sixth and seventh grade Beijing officials is not low, and she doesn't know if the Zhongshu Sheren is a real power position. She was afraid that Liu Jun would conflict with these people, so she hurriedly asked Yanma to take Zhou Zhong and other seven gentlemen and five talented people upstairs together.

She followed upstairs and said a few words, and then went downstairs directly, because Liu Jun was too lazy to go upstairs together.

"How about I pour you a beer and some hot dogs?"

"It's fine."

Liu Jun chose a table to sit down, and Lina personally brought him dark beer and hot barbecued sausages.

She sat opposite Liu Jun and poured herself a glass of dark beer.

"I really thought you wouldn't come?"

Liu Jun smiled, took a big sip of dark beer, put down the wine glass, he looked at her and asked, "Have you thought about opening a branch?" ”

"If you're willing to partner, I'll open it."

"Then open, I'll take the loan from the bank when I go back. How many are we separated? ”

"How many do you think it's good to open?"

"I think let's open two new stores first, one each on Dongmen Street and Ximen Street, these two streets are the most prosperous and have many customers." Liu Jun is very attentive to this matter, and when he was in the palace, he dealt with military affairs all day long, which was boring, but opening two small shops at this time made him very interested.

It is said that people have five needs, and eating, drinking, and Lazar are only the most basic physiological needs.

It's like a hobby, where work is more about making money to meet physical needs, while hobbies are for mental needs.

"Let's open two new stores first, so it won't be too stressful. We will first take the loan, then recruit some people, and then look for a store to rent, and we will have to carry out a uniform style of decoration, so that after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, it should be officially opened. By the way, I bought a small courtyard house in Caishi Street. ”

"I'll listen to you about opening a store, I'll go to the vegetable market with you when I turn around, I'm just going to buy vegetables, and by the way, I'll also see your new home, and the next time I'm free, I'll send you pig's feet and beer directly." Lina said with a happy face.

As he was talking, a large group of people suddenly poured in outside, all of them red-haired and yellow-haired Europeans, both men and women, and many of them came in with large bags and small bags, or even children and daughters.

"Lina, I've brought someone back." A loud voice rang out in the doorway, and then a blond hunk man as big as a black bear squeezed in.

Looking at this large group of foreigners, men, women and children, Liu Jun always felt that these people were a group of European refugees? (To be continued.) )
