The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 217 Chain Stores

Cultivate spies?

It was the first time Liu Qinhu heard of this term, but he didn't understand what it meant to be a so-called spy.

He didn't ask, he knew he would know when he should know, all he had to do was obey the order.

"I only want elites. I will select outstanding personnel from you Fengying. I will train myself. You will also come over when the time comes. I want to see how the effect is. Let's do this first. You can go about your business."

Zhao Xu made it clear enough that Liu Qinhu didn't ask any more questions, and he honestly withdrew, and then went to arrange the matter.

Zhao Xu didn't know what Zhao Kuangyin was looking for him for. It was already very late, wouldn't this delay people's rest? Is this old man really real?

Zhao Xu now has a full face of resentment, as much resentment as he wants, this guy can really be funny.

After a while, he came to Zhao Kuangyin's bedroom. It is impossible for Zhao Kuangyin to be processing memorials at this time. In addition, he had drunk some wine, so he was going to rest in the bedroom.

This is not what he guessed by himself, but what the little eunuch who informed him just now told him to go to the bedroom to meet him.

From afar, I saw Zhang Dejun standing there. It was not easy to say that these eunuchs went to bed later and woke up earlier than the master.

It is quite hard for the master to wait on the side when eating, and to wait outside when the master is resting.

"Eunuch Zhang has worked hard. It's almost midnight, and you still have to be on duty here. It's really not easy."

Seeing Zhang Dejun, Zhao Xu immediately put on a smiling face, and he didn't mean to curry favor with the eunuch.

He was making a gesture.Let you feel that although I am the prince, I will not put on airs in front of you slaves.

You can see that those who are in high positions are more approachable and approachable, giving people a sense of gentleness and elegance.

Those small officials who are as big as sesame seeds are different. They are arrogant all day long, as if they don't know that they are officials.

This is tolerance, and Zhao Xu is like this now, he is willing to do things that don't cost money to buy people's hearts.

"Hey, my prince, the young one is a slave. As a slave, of course, he has his own responsibilities. The old slave can also feel honored to serve the emperor. This is also the smoke from the slave's ancestral grave. "

Come on, this old guy is also honored to serve the emperor, who is also the emperor, the real dragon emperor.

How many people want to see the emperor but can't even see him, he is serving by his side every day, it is reasonable for him to feel honored.

"Okay, Eunuch Zhang, I won't tell you more about whether the father is asleep or not. I'm going to see him."

This is the purpose of his coming. Seeing Zhao Kuangyin, talking nonsense with this eunuch almost delayed the business.

"Hey, look, I almost delayed my business. The emperor was just asking if you were here. By the way, the empress is also inside. Would you like me to let you in first?"

Just now Zhang Dejun was too busy chatting with the Crown Prince in front of him, and almost forgot the business.

"Hehehe, I don't need to go in by myself. Eunuch Zhang has time and I will ask you to drink."

"That's a good thing. I heard that His Highness has a lot of good wine. I have thanked the crown prince here."

Although Zhang Dejun knew that the prince might just be joking, he was also very happy, which showed that the master still attached great importance to him.

Zhao Xu smiled, and he opened the door and walked in. Inside, the Empress He Shi was pressing Zhao Kuangyin's head non-stop.

It looked like she was giving him a massage, but when the sound of the door opening sounded, she stopped, and He Shi's face was full of joy:
"So it's Xu'er who's here, hurry up and come to my mother."

They were all the people closest to him, and Zhao Xu was not too polite, and still called them according to the usual family members.

"Father, mother, it seems that the baby came at an inappropriate time and disturbed your two world, hehe."

"The stinky boy is almost becoming a father himself, why is he still the same, he is still as ignorant as a child."

Zhao Kuangyin immediately glared at his son, you are so brave, you dare to make jokes about your father.

"Father, look at what you said, even if I am full of children and grandchildren, am I still a child in front of you? Mother, do you think so?"

In order to avoid his father scolding him again, he immediately kissed his mother, this is called strategy.

He Shi smiled lovingly:
"You two are like children, Xu'er and you, now that you are also the prince, you can't learn to be cautious, so as not to make those ministers laugh at you."

He is always his own son, and while caring for him, he does not forget to educate him well, all for the good of his own children.

"Isn't it just because our family is here? By the way, Dad, why did you call me here so late? I'm your daughter-in-law who is accompanying you. You also know that your grandson is also here." They are about to be born, and I want to spend more time with them."

The implication of Zhao Xu's words is that I'm very busy now, so if you have something to say, hurry up and say, I'm going back to see your future grandson?
"Of course I have something important to ask you to come here. Besides, everything I am busy with now is not for you."

Zhao Kuangyin is also very angry, you are still angry here, what am I planning, isn't it to leave you a safe and peaceful Song Dynasty?

"Okay, father and son, stop arguing. I'll go to the kitchen and order some food for you two. Let's have a good talk."

The virtuousness of He Shi lies in the fact that she knows that there are some things that she should not know, and she will never ask more questions.

She knows that the harem cannot interfere in politics, and she can't see this precedent. As a queen, she should set an example.

"Mom, I like to drink the tremella and lotus seed soup you made the most, hehe."

"Okay, just wait, I'll come as soon as I go." After saying that, he walked out.

"Father can tell now, why did you come to me so late, there must be something important?"

Zhao Xu didn't believe that there was nothing wrong with Zhao Kuangyin coming to him. Not only was it a matter, it was a big deal.

"Today I went to see Zhao Pu and asked him about the feudal town. He gave some suggestions and I want to hear your opinion."

Then Zhao Kuangyinjie told Zhao Xu what Zhao Pu said in detail, and made some changes.

Zhao Xu also listened carefully. Zhao Pu is not Zhao Pu, but he still has the current economic acumen. He must be good at doing business.

"This wine is mine, and I am absolutely willing to push him to the whole country, but I have a request, that is, people from the imperial court should not be used for these things, and all of them are arranged by myself."

Zhao Xu suggested that this should be done.Zhao Kuangyin was a little puzzled, why did you say that, you don't want people from the government to get involved?

Perhaps knowing what Zhao Kuangyin was going to say, Zhao Xu immediately said again:
"I know what you want to say, I want to tell you that these officials must not be involved, not only for the present, but also for the future."

Zhao Xu knew that officials should never be allowed to participate in this kind of business, as it would be very troublesome.

It's easy to turn this business into something bureaucratic.This is something he doesn't want to see.

"Well, no matter what your reasons are, I agree. After all, this is yours. Although the throne will also be yours in the future, I always feel embarrassed."

"Father, that's not the reason. I mainly don't want to mix such commercial things with political atmosphere, and you will understand later."

"Also, I don't plan to implement his idea of ​​adding water, because it is very likely to cause problems, and it is not good for people's health."

Zhao Xu knew the dangers of selling blended wine, and he would never do it again. This Zhao Pu was really a profiteer, and he could think of such things.

"If this is the case, this kind of wine can only follow the so-called high-end route, and the effect will be much worse." Zhao Kuangyin heard that this did not cause a significant drop in sales.

"Who made my father's wine?"

"You." Zhao Kuangyin didn't understand what he was asking, but he answered him anyway.

"That's right. Since I can brew this kind of wine, I can naturally reduce their content to a disproportionate proportion. It's not easy to get a few more wines."

Zhao Kuangyin was relieved that the wine was brewed by him, and why he was worried about it.

"As for opening more Taoxianglou across the country, this idea is really good. I decided to open my Taoxianglou into a chain store and let it bloom everywhere."

Zhao Xu was so excited, why didn't he think of a chain store before, this Zhao Pu couldn't be time-traveling, right?

I can think of this method, this is a talent, I must find a time to have a good talk with him.

Here Zhao Kuangyin was confused again: "A chain store?"

"Yes, it's a chain store."

But Zhao Xu immediately realized that there was no concept of a chain store at this time, and he couldn't understand it at all when he explained it like this.

"Chain stores mean branch stores. Multiple places operate the same brand. Whether it's the business model or the same concept, they form an integrated service. What they have in common is the same name."

"You kid can't just talk about branch stores, but also set up chain stores as a whole, and see if you can do it, brat."

You always think that chain stores are so simple. If I am not afraid that you will not understand, I will tell you more about chain stores. Now I can only use branch stores to fool you.

As soon as he thought of the idea of ​​this chain store, Zhao Xu immediately implemented the chain store plan, and there were a lot more Taoxianglou in the whole Guao area.

The special feature is which hot pot attracts a large number of customers, especially some people come five times in one day.

When Zhao Xu heard the news, he couldn't laugh or cry. His wine named Wuliangye was sold out as soon as it appeared.

For this reason, Zhao Xu had to personally train a large number of wine-making talents, and went to various places to speed up the production of Wuliangye.

Later, his Taoxianglou chain stores continued to blossom with the continuous expansion of the Song Dynasty, and even later went overseas, which Zhao Xu did not expect now.
