Chapter 123: Rencheng and Wang Qiang became good friends
Before Wang Qiang got into the car, he sent the Yao family to move a box to the car, and then followed Rencheng into the car.
"Lieutenant Renxian, the first time we met, it was not a respect, please smile!"
Rencheng, who was still with a straight face a second ago, squinted at the box between the two of them and snorted.
"You're welcome! Boss Wang! ”
At this time, Rencheng's carriage went out of the city unhurriedly.
"May I ask Boss Wang, how did you meet Hall Master Liu of my family? My master Liu is a good person! ”
Wang Qiang smiled, "Really? I think so too, both of us were soldiers at the border of Yanguo, he is a cook, and I take care of him. ”
"Then are you still working as an official in Yanguo?"
"No, this was all ten years ago, I retired a long time ago and went back to my hometown to do some small business."
Rencheng's long neck reached forward and twisted again.
"Oh, 500 million silver, that's not a small deal! Don't be kidding me! ”
Wang Qiang smiled,
"These, not all of them are my own, they are all made up by some good buddies! People believe me, I'm just running errands. ”
Rencheng gave a thumbs up on his right hand.
"Admire! There is responsibility, but, I won't tell you, our Jicheng is currently waiting to be prosperous, and the imperial court appropriation has not yet arrived, I estimate, our Lord Lin, seeing that you are so sincere to invest, your heart will be beautiful, your boss Wang is the timely rain of our Jicheng people! ”
Wang Qiang turned his head and glanced at it, "You are a fast talker, easy to make friends!" ”
"yes, it's over!"
Wang Qiang smiled again and continued,
"We are working together for a win-win situation this time! If this Renxian lieutenant can help me connect with Lord Lin smoothly, please believe me, after earning money, you will definitely have a credit! So please, man! ”
Rencheng shrunk his neck and nodded again,
"Understood, worthy of being a big boss, speak in place!"
Wang Qiang asked quietly again,
"Excuse me, Lieutenant Ren, what do you think of my friend Liu Bancheng?"
Rencheng snorted again,
"He? What does he say? ”
Wang Qiang said, "Let's have a long time in the future, we are good friends, just say what you want, don't hold it!" ”
Rencheng smiled.
"Okay, since Boss Wang regards me as a friend, I'll tell you about you as a friend!"
"What about your friend, it seems to me that it can only be said to be correct. Why? ”
"When he first came to the Prime Minister's Mansion, he was actually an ordinary cook. But the prime minister just took a fancy to him. It was time for him to be correct, a few days after he arrived here, Qiu Ye had a problem, and the prime minister replaced Qiu Ye, the hall master who had been with him for more than 30 years, and let Liu Bancheng be the hall master! Do you say that his point is right or not. ”
Wang Qiang nodded.
"However, although he is very upright, this good job and this fat difference have made him blind in vain!"
Wang Qiang said, "Why? Go on. ”
At this time, the carriage had already come to the suburbs, Rencheng rolled his cuffs and asked Wang Qiang,
"Let's not talk about Liu Bancheng first, let's talk about our Xiangcanteen first, may I ask Boss Liu, do you know our Xiangcanteen?"
Wang Qiang shook his head,
"Our Xiang Canteen, but it has a history, it came into being together with our Liang Kingdom! In other words, on the day when Liang Guoding was the capital of Xu Yang, there was the existence of Xiang Dining Hall! ”
"Do you know what the role of the Sogakudo is?"
Wang Qiang shook his head again,
"It is to provide catering services for the main officials of our Daliang country. Therefore, the Xiang Dining Hall is the Xiang Dining Hall of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and it is also the Xiang Dining Hall of Liang Guo! Do you understand the importance of this place? ”
Wang Qiang nodded.
"You, don't just nod, let me ask you, guess who the first hall master of the Xiang Dining Hall is?"
"Prime Minister He?"
Rencheng sneered and laughed, "Alas, it's a little interesting, I see that you are a good person, a little observant!" ”
Wang Qiang also smiled,
"I heard that the prime minister was reused by the imperial court because he was the master of the Xiangdian Hall and did a good job!"
"Yes, but that's later!"
Benevolence is still unfinished,
"As a result, listen to me, Liu Bancheng, this kid didn't come for a few days, and the prime minister gave this fat shortage to your Liu Bancheng for nothing, you didn't know it at the time, our Lord Lin Zongren, as well as the nephew of the Empress Dowager Jingxue, Gao Hu, and the scheming Xiangfu guest Chen Fenglong, etc., there are many people who are worried about this position! Because as long as you can do this hall master and step on the platform of Xiangcantang, you will serve the big people all day long, and after that, you will be the same as the prime minister, and you will be prosperous and glorify your ancestors! It's obvious. ”
"But several of them did their best, used all the relationships they could use, and interceded with the prime minister, but the prime minister made it clear that he would use this Liu Bancheng!"
"What is the reason?" Wang Qiang was puzzled.
Rencheng also frowned and said, "Where do I know where to go!" ”
"But since Liu Bancheng took office, the sky has changed."
Wang Qiang readjusted his sitting posture, twisted his head, and stared at Rencheng in front of him.
Rencheng said,
"It turns out that the operating expenses of the Xiangcantang have been allocated by the imperial court on time every year."
"It's just that later, the prime minister's mansion has a surplus every year in the expenses allocated above, so the prime minister used the saved expenses to start recruiting customers by himself."
"At first, our old Liang Wang Nian Prime Minister had a meritorious service in founding the country, just to fight for one eye and close one eye, but I think he is still uncomfortable in his heart!"
"Do you think, spending the king's money and pulling his own team, can people be comfortable?"
Wang Qiang said,
"The prime minister recruits and cultivates doormen, isn't it all for the Liang family's great cause, it is said that over the years, there are not a few doormen who have entered the high-level of the court from the Xiangcantang, isn't this also a disguised contribution to the court?"
Rencheng smiled, "Let's just say that!" ”
"Listen to me, later, other government officials also began to learn from the prime minister to attract guests, and all built buildings and halls to open canteens, you are like Yaofu, when they built a health hall, they took advantage of Liang Guo's absence in Xuyang, and started construction overnight. You said that King Liang is such a smart person, he has so many eyeliner, can you not know? ”
As a result, he didn't expect that the prime minister saw that the Yao family's health hall had been built against the wind, and he also wanted to have a quick knife to expand the Xiang dining hall. As a result, when Liu Bancheng was cleaning up a beauty salon in their backyard, he offended Princess Renxian. If this matter is put on ordinary people, it will be extinguished if it is taken to solve it, but this Liu Bancheng has to use the laws of Liang Guo to go online. As a result, they told the emperor, and they added oil and vinegar. Do you know that she is the mother of King Liang, so King Liang was angry when he heard this, and immediately stopped the expansion project of the Xiang Canteen, and at the same time stopped all the buildings and halls that the government wanted to build or were under construction, and at the same time cut off the supply to the canteens, and the imperial court no longer allocated half a dime of funds.
Wang Qiang sighed and said, "The life of the Xiang Canteen is not easy!" ”
"That's it, but anyone who has been on an errand in Liang Country for a long time can understand a law."
"What pattern?"
Rencheng said, "It's not a rule, that is, this kind of thing Lao Liang King has also proposed before, not allowing the construction of buildings and halls, and he has been ruthless in words, and has cut off everyone's food, but all the ministers understand that as long as this limelight is over, everyone should build, eat, and drink, and there will be no delay at all." ”
"But your Liu Bancheng is different, he took it seriously, in order to ensure that the service standards of the Prime Minister's door customers are not reduced, he began to reduce internal expenditures and generate external income."
Wang Qiang said, "Isn't this idea very correct to listen to the king's greeting, open source and reduce expenditure?" ”
Rencheng patted Wang Qiang's shoulder,
"Brother, what is right, do you know, in order to save money, he stopped all the "Friday service" of the Xiang Canteen at that time, and even the usual service items for the prime minister were also stopped! This involves more than 500 people from the government and the opposition! ”
"You must know that more than 500 people have been enjoying the benefits of Xiangcantang for free for nearly 30 years, who can stand this cut-off!"
Wang Qiang nodded, "This is a bit too much!" ”
Rencheng was even more interested,
"That's where it goes! Listen to me! ”
