Inside the dining room.

The ladies are lined up, and on the long table are exquisite snacks and tea.

Zhao Po introduced in turn.

"This is an egg waffle. Made from flour, eggs, milk, water, sugar, corn oil and starch, it is easy to bake after mixing the ingredients and putting them in a custom mold. It can be eaten with preserved fruits.

"It's fried fresh milk. Made with fresh milk, eggs, cornstarch and breading, it's crispy on the outside and soft on the inside.

"It's a pastry......

"Tart......

"Potato chips......

"Lotus Cake......

"Octopus balls......

"Okonomiyaki ......"

Song Jue tasted them one by one, praised them, turned his eyes to the most spectacular meal at the end of the table, and asked, "What is that?" ”

"This is the most special 'pen, ink, paper, inkstone' in the new product."

"Pen, ink, paper, inkstone?"

"Yes. Rice paper made from rice paste and various colors of ink made from sesame seeds, mung beans and red beans can be used for poetry and painting. ”

"Although the idea is good, the literati can be very picky about the texture of the ink, will this be counterproductive?"

"Please rest assured. In order to make the ingredients as smooth as possible to mimic the ink, the bran of the beans has been mostly removed, and the beans are roasted and then ground, and the ink concentration is determined by the diners. ”

Zhao Po replied with a smile on his face.

Pen, ink, paper and inkstone is a blockbuster new product, she and the spoon have been repeatedly modified and experimented many times, and the simulation degree of the ingredients is guaranteed.

"I'm very happy with the peculiarity and taste of the new product. Among them, the appearance of egg waffles is special, but it is indecent to eat a whole piece. Before serving, each drum bag needs to be separated. The same goes for other dim sums, so you need to pay attention to the size. The membership system is very feasible, and if there is any difficulty in implementing it, even if you come to me. I am relieved that the Sunrise Pavilion will be handed over to you, Zhao is the shopkeeper. Song Jue looked at Zhao Po, his eyes were bent in the shape of a half-moon, and he said with a chuckle.

A jade boy is smiling and encouraging to himself, how can it not be exciting?

It's a pity that Zhao Po was immersed in the joy of being hired and didn't feel Song Jue's hormones at all.

She saluted excitedly: "I will live up to the trust of Song Gongzi." ”

Song Jue continued: "In the future, I will come at the beginning of each month, the middle of the month, and the end of the month to review the profits and losses and services of the Risheng Pavilion with Shopkeeper Zhao, and make a plan." ”

"So often?" Zhao Po was taken aback, "The beginning of the month and the end of the month can be combined once, right?" ”

Song Jue showed a smile: "Sunrise Pavilion is the old signboard of my Song family, I have high hopes for it, but I can't be sloppy at all." ”

"However, our frequent meetings at the Sunrise Pavilion may hinder the placement of tables, chairs and plates, and affect the preparations."

"Makes sense." Song Jue thought for a while, "In this way, I bothered Miss Zhao to move to the Song Mansion." ”

"Huh?" Zhao Po was stunned.

"Every month, at the beginning of the month, the fifteenth and the end of the month, I will send a carriage to Zhao's house to pick up Miss Zhao. Tomorrow, the Sunrise Pavilion will be newly opened, and the shopkeeper Zhao will stay here, and the regular meeting will be exempted. After the regular meeting, Shopkeeper Zhao should be prepared. ”

How can "not ......" already be decided?

"Shopkeeper Zhao hesitated, could it be that he disliked the simplicity of the carriage of the Song Mansion?"

"No, no, no, the carriage of the Song Mansion is extremely comfortable."

"That's very good. As for the remuneration, what does Miss Zhao think? ”

"When the fifteenth gathering is over, it's not too late to talk about it when the year-end profit is determined."

"Miss Zhao means to discuss the salary at the regular meeting at the end of next month?"

"Yes."

"Very good." Song Jue smiled with satisfaction. "Tomorrow the rising pavilion will be newly opened, and there are many things to worry about the shopkeeper Zhao. Please go back to your house to rest early. I won't bother in the next place, and I will take my leave. ”

Song Jue left in a dashing manner, and Zhao Po stood in place with a puzzled face.

How can it feel like being calculated?

Following. Song House.

"How's the Sunrise Pavilion?"

"There were a lot of people going. Although it is not a full seat, there are many more guests than before. ”

"It's a rare day like this. Business will get better and better in the future. ”

"Yes."

A servant walked in: "Man Sizheng has arrived, and he is waiting in the front hall." ”

"Let him in."

Not long after, a man in a dark robe who was about thirty years old and had good facial features stepped into the side hall.

When he saw Song Jue, he raised his hand and saluted: "Song Sizheng." ”

Song Jue welcomed him to his seat: "Full of politics." How is the progress of the Baili Pavilion Lord? ”

Man Xiangchen shook his head: "It's not optimistic." You know that this dynasty has always emphasized literature over martial arts. A few years ago, there was chaos on the border of the Northern Regions, and the eldest princess was extremely brave, and after the cholera was quelled for the first time, the court became more and more complacent, and most of them felt that Da Yu's troops were strong and there was no need to worry. Besides, the new military officer system has seriously damaged the interests of the hereditary princely family, and those old things are naturally unanimously opposed by the banner. Although they have no right to vote, the ministers must sit firmly in this position, and they are indispensable to the recommendation and protection of the family, so they naturally do not want to provoke them easily. ”

"It took a lot of thought for the Lord of the Baili Pavilion to draft this new military policy, and it would be a pity if it was rejected like this."

"Isn't it? For the sake of the new military administration, the lord of Baili Pavilion interviewed many generals and personally went to several military camps. It's hard for him to get old. ”

Song Jue flicked his fingers on the desk and thought for a moment: "Didn't he talk to Si Zheng and the Marquis?" ”

"The lord of Baili Pavilion has found many ministers, and there are a few who have been moved by him. It's just that the number of people is far less than half, and it is useless for everyone to be the first bird. And after the approval of the cabinet, there is still the emperor's pass. There is little hope for the implementation of the new military policy. ”

"The most fundamental problem now is still in the Marquis of the Maison. No matter how horizontal they are, there is a person who they will never dare to provoke. ”

"You mean the emperor?" Man Xiangchen smiled, "The emperor himself may not approve it, how can he still come to help us?" ”

"The emperor will approve it."

"Oh?"

"The force is different from anything else. The emperor can allow the family to accumulate wealth, ignore the law of the country, and oppress the people, but he will never allow them to raise military horses. Because with the troops, they have the confidence to commit rebellion. ”

"But ......"

"But confidence is not enough. They also need the power of the Cabinet. And as you said, the cabinet ministers need to curry favor with the marquis in order to keep their official positions. How can the two be added together without being alarming? Of course, the number of soldiers in the hands of one or two military princes is far from the number of rebels, but you just said it. They are unanimously opposed. What if it is our high emperor who is unanimously opposed in the future? ”

"But the emperor also understands that they are just afraid that the new military government will ruin their mansion."

"That's right, it seems that this is indeed the case now, because the new military policy is being implemented by the master of the Baili Pavilion. The emperor is also happy to see the lord of Baili Pavilion deflated, after all, it is absolutely impossible for a courtier to respond to every call. Therefore, it is actually a good thing that almost no ministers dare to openly support the Lord of Baili Pavilion now. But what if this new military policy is pushed by the emperor? ”

"You mean, let's find an opportunity to tell the emperor about this?"

His Majesty didn't know any of these truths in his heart, but he just lacked someone to sort them out for him. This person is very important, it can't be you, it can't be me, it's someone close enough to the emperor. ”

"People close to the emperor...... The concubines in the palace are all born in a family, so naturally they will not help. Could it be...... Prince?! Man Xiangchen exclaimed, "But the prince never pays attention to the government, doesn't rash advice make His Majesty suspicious?" ”
