Spring and Autumn Confucian Heroes

Chapter 136 First Floor

Huan Chang heard the words, but his heart was shocked.

He had heard a long time ago that the monarch of Qi State was thirsty for talents and recruited heroes from all over the world.

Before that, Huanchang was located in the State of Lu after all, and the transportation was inconvenient, and he didn't know much about the specific situation of the State of Qi.

Now that I heard about the Jixia Restaurant established by the King of Qi, admiration suddenly emerged in my heart.

Regardless of rich or poor, high or low, or nationality, all talented people, whether they are willing to serve Qi or not, can eat at Jixia Restaurant for free.

This courage alone is enough to make people admire.

If those people with unrecognized talents were entertained at the Jixia Restaurant, they would probably be grateful to King Qi and serve Qi State from then on.

"Qi has been able to stand for thousands of years, and has always been a first-class powerful country. It is not without reason."

However, he frowned quickly.

"Brother, I have a question in my mind, and I want to ask for advice."

The Qi man was also enthusiastic, and said with a smile: "Little brother, if you have any doubts, you may as well ask."

Huan Chang said: "Just a small city in Qi State has such a large restaurant in Jixia, and it also provides free food and drink for people."

"There are countless cities in the Qi State. If every city is like this, even if the Qi State is rich, I am afraid that it cannot afford this kind of expenses."

Huan Chang's worry was not without reason.

In a wine shop in Nuo Da, the daily consumption of property is immeasurable, and this consumption is still protracted.

No matter how rich a country is, it is impossible to afford such consumption.

Unexpectedly, the man from Qi country burst into laughter when he heard the words, and said: "Little brother, you only know one thing, you don't know the other thing."

"Although your majesty is thirsty for talents, this Jixia wine shop will not give free to everyone. Only those who are truly talented can get this kind of preferential treatment."

"When ordinary people enter the restaurant, they still have to spend money for consumption, and the price is more expensive than outside."

"Therefore, Jixia Winery is not only a place for the emperor to recruit talents, but also one of the main sources of income for Qi."

Huan Chang was stunned.

He couldn't understand why the restaurant was still bustling with so many diners since the price inside the restaurant was more expensive than outside.

As if seeing the doubts in Huan Chang's heart, the Qi people said: "Not only the emperor needs talents, but also the rich and noble families of Qi."

"Jixia Winery is a place to find talents. Those rich and noble families, even domestic sects, will send people to stay in the winery. Once they meet talents, they can recruit them."

"These people are also one of the biggest sources of income for the restaurant."

When Huan Chang heard the words, he suddenly realized.

In this era, most of the wealth is concentrated in the hands of the rich and noble families, as well as those sects.

Moreover, no matter which city has rich households, they are fully capable of spending money in Jixia wine shop.

If things go on like this, this kind of atmosphere will still appear in the territory of Qi State. If someone's family is quite powerful, but they don't send people to stay in Jixia Restaurant for a long time, they will be looked down upon instead.

After figuring out the key point, Huan Chang asked again: "In this way, there are so many people competing with the country for talents. What the king of Qi has done is not making wedding dresses for others?"

The Qi people immediately laughed and said: "How can the charm of the Qi country be compared with that of ordinary nobles and sects?"

"But most of the truly great talents will be loyal to the government."

"Moreover, as long as those talents can stay in Qi State, whether they are loyal to the monarch or doing things for the nobles, the strength of Qi State will be enhanced."

It was only then that Huan Chang suddenly realized that he immediately thanked the man from Qi and walked towards the wine shop.

Apart from admiring the King of Qi, Huan Chang was also very curious about how the Jixia Winery judged which people were talents.

As soon as Huan Chang walked to the door, a waiter greeted him.

At this time, although Huan Chang was dusty, he still couldn't hide the heroic spirit on his face.

In addition, he has a handsome face, a murderous and bookish look on his body, and a sword on his back, so it is obvious at a glance that he is not very human.

The waiters at Jixia Restaurant had served countless people, so their eyesight was naturally extraordinary.

After seeing Huan Chang's extraordinary appearance, he immediately greeted him with a smile on his face, and said, "Young man, please come in quickly."

Huan Chang glanced at the black donkey and said, "Please sit the black donkey down for me, find a clean donkey house, and get some good wine and meat for it."

The waiter was also surprised when he saw the black donkey, which was stronger than a horse, with a shiny black body but no hairs.

Huan Chang's words made the waiter couldn't help but look at the black donkey a few more times.

Although this person is well-informed, he has never seen a black donkey who can drink and eat meat.

Moreover, the figure of this black donkey is indeed too scary.

It's just that this person has a high professionalism, and he didn't ask too many questions, so he did so immediately.

Huan Chang was led into the restaurant by another person, and a beautiful woman walked over with a smile on her face.

"Young man, please go to the second floor!"

In the originally noisy restaurant, the drinkers were quite surprised when they saw the woman stepping forward to greet a young boy.

After hearing the woman's words, the restaurant suddenly became quiet.

The drinkers on the first floor all set their eyes on Huan Chang. Some looked appreciative, while others were suspicious.

Taking a panoramic view of everyone's performance, Huan Chang frowned slightly.

"May I ask you, is there a difference between the second floor and the first floor?"

The girl's smile is still very bright.

She said with a little respect: "Those who can go up to the second floor are all talented and learned people, and all consumption in the restaurant will be exempted."

Huan Chang frowned even deeper, and said, "I'm new here, why are you so sure that I'm a talented person?"

The girl said: "To be able to have such martial arts at such a young age, I am afraid that among many famous schools, those true disciples cannot do it."

"Such a person can be regarded as a talent?"

The surprise in Huan Chang's eyes grew stronger.

He didn't expect that someone would see through his cultivation the moment he entered the restaurant.

"Jixia Winery really lives up to its reputation."

Huan Chang forcibly suppressed the doubts in his heart, and prepared to go to the second floor under the leadership of the girl.

"Where did the brat come from, and he is also qualified to go to the second floor?"

At this moment, a man with a face full of flesh came out, looking at Huan Chang with hostility in his eyes.

This person was nine feet long, with a hulking back, and he knew that he was not easy to mess with at first glance.

"It's him!"

When the diners on the first floor saw the man approaching, many of them exclaimed.

The man with a face full of flesh is quite famous in this county, not only because he is a martial artist in the realm of entering the house, but also because of his ruthless temperament.

For many warriors in the Qi Kingdom, being able to go to the second floor of Jixia Restaurant originally represented a great honor.

After this person broke through to the realm of burglary, he was still blocked when he wanted to go up to the second floor, and he was always aggrieved.

Seeing that Huan Chang, a brat, was able to go up to the second floor, boundless anger suddenly surged in his heart.
