Film and television started from Yan Jiecheng in the Siheyuan

On the west gate of Bingcheng, there is a commercial street called Zhengyang Street where Manchus and Han people gather.

If it hadn't been for Zhu Chuanwen's accident, after the old Zhu family moved to Bingcheng, they would have opened a Shandong restaurant on this street.

This is at least a second-tier international city, the most prosperous commercial street in the city center. Just think about its value.

Lao Zhu's family was able to buy a restaurant and warehouse on this street.

At least it shows that Zhu Kaishan is really capable.

Not only can you make money from farming, but your business skills are also good.

Those who run restaurants, hotels, teahouses and other businesses on this street are actually just minor players.

This street is also home to many big bosses who run big businesses such as silver houses, silk shops, banks, grain stores, etc. They are considered big bosses.

These people are already considered national capitalists and are fully capable and capable of investing in industry and setting up factories.

Zhu Chuanwen must have taken a fancy to the funds in the hands of these people.

Although Zhu Chuanwen was not prepared to put the money into his pocket arrogantly.

But these funds must also be used where Zhu Chuanwen hopes to create the value that should be created.

In extraordinary times, some extraordinary measures must be taken.

"Let's eat in this restaurant."

After wandering around for a long time, he saw a restaurant on the street that specialized in Shandong cuisine. Zhu Chuanwen said on a whim.

It is said that there are many Manchus and Han people gathering on Zhengyang Street, but this mainly depends on the number of bosses.

In terms of population, of course there are still more Han people.

These Han people are divided into people from Liao Province who have settled outside the Pass for several generations, and people from Shandong who have recently migrated outside the Pass.

No matter what type of person you are, in fact, most of their ancestors are from Shandong, and they can adapt to the taste of Shandong cuisine.

Shandong restaurants are located outside the customs and are not a rare cuisine.

"Come on, let's go in and have a look."

Zhu Chuanwen suggested and Zhu Kai nodded, which was enough to decide the family's itinerary.

"Braised prawns in oil, fish with vinegar and pepper, warm mandarin fish fillets, fried squid rolls with coriander, white fungus in clear soup, sweet-scented osmanthus meat... Let's start with these."

Looking at the menu, Zhu Chuanwen ordered one of the signature dishes first.

The cooks at this time will definitely not be worse than those of later generations. When the difficulty of becoming a chef is higher, most cooks are better than the small shop cooks of later generations.

When you need to practice basic skills for several years, it is definitely better than the short-term training in a chef school.

If you don't have any real skills, you will really get your store smashed.

Just say that restaurants opened on Zhengyang Street also have their own rules.

A small shop with one guise can cook various stir-fried dishes on the ground with two guises. With three guises, it can cook both northern and southern dishes. With three guises, the store must be able to cook whatever the customers order. .

Although Zhu Chuanwen chose a store at random, there were three disguises hanging outside this store.

"okay."

The waiter agreed that the service during this period was actually not bad.

Although not as eye-catching as the beautiful waitress, the emotional value is sufficient.

If you want, you can ask the waiter to perform a dish name, and he can perform it very well.

"Guests, this is the best service in the shop. I hope the guests can come and take care of the shop often in the future."

At this time, the restaurant manager also came over with a teapot.

"Shopkeeper, judging from your accent, are you from Shandong?"

Zhu Kaishan asked the shopkeeper.

Although the Northeastern accent is very contagious, people who are often exposed to the Northeastern context will have their accent changed.

But you can still hear some of the original accent.

When meeting fellow villagers, like Zhu Kaishan who has not been back for a long time, they can't help but want to chat more, even listening to the local accent is good.

"Several guest officers, I hear your accents, you are also from the customs." The shopkeeper replied.

"Yes, we are from Zhangqiu, Jinan Prefecture." Zhu Kaishan replied.

"I am from Caozhou, so we are still fellow villagers. Just wait, I will arrange two more dishes for you."

The shopkeeper obviously meant to give away two dishes.

Whether it's because Lao Zhu's family is a new customer or because he is a fellow villager, he is a very kind businessman and he is an old shopkeeper who is well versed in people and the world.

If the food tastes good, the business should be so good.

"Don't worry about it. The food we ordered is probably enough. If it's not enough, we'll have to wait and see. Shopkeeper, is the business going well here?"

Zhu Chuanwen stopped the shopkeeper who wanted to go out and ask the waiter to add dishes and asked.

"Have you just arrived in our Ice City?"

"I just came here not long ago."

"You also want to do business on Zhengyang Street?"

"Have some ideas."

"Our Zhengyang Street is bustling with traffic and people, so business should be easy. But it's not that easy for us Shandong people to come to Guanwai to grab food. You don't look like you have just arrived outside Guanwai. You’ve never seen this before.”

The shopkeeper's words were rather vague.

In fact, it is still a problem of bullying students. Even here in Bingcheng, the population has always been sparse and there are no indigenous people.

But outside the customs, they have always been considered one.

Outsiders from other areas still have an advantage when they arrive in Bingcheng over Shandongese who come from Guandong.

They will band together and bully foreign companies.

Even so, this land outside the customs is already considered the most friendly place to outsiders.

If outsiders simply want to come from outside the country, cultivate some fields, and maintain a living, they will generally not be targeted.

Only industries with relatively rich profits will be excluded.

"Didn't I hear that the current governor of the Black Province is a fellow Shandong fellow? Does anyone dare to bully us Shandong people?"

Zhu Chuanwen's face darkened a bit, and then he asked.

According to Zhu Chuanwen's expectation, he had become the governor of the Black Province.

According to the tradition of still strong nostalgia in this era, Shandong people should be able to get a little more respect.

Even if the strong dragon does not overwhelm the local snakes and cannot turn against the guests, it cannot be too weak.

Everyone should have a relatively equal status.

"Although the Governor is from Shandong, none of us can compare to the Governor. Aren't you from Jinan Prefecture? You and the Governor are real fellow villagers. Can you go to the Governor's Yamen?"

Zhu Chuanwen's identity was only exposed so far as Jinan Mansion.

No matter how detailed it is, people who are thoughtful will know it, but not just any restaurant owner will know it.

"That's right."

Zhu Chuanwen nodded, thinking about how to better solve this problem.

Although Zhu Chuanwen is a Shandong native, his subordinates are indeed more from outside the country.

Even the soldiers are mostly outsiders who have settled there for several generations.

Zhu Chuanwen is consciously recruiting less homeless people who have no home or job. These local people have houses, land, wives and children in the local area, and when they defend their land, it is easier for them to unleash stronger fighting power.

Even if they return from the army in the past few years, they will still be a considerable force in the war twenty years later when they can no longer carry guns.

"Okay, the food has been served. Dear guests, enjoy your meal." After the cold dishes were served, the shopkeeper was ready to leave. It was a big restaurant, and the shopkeeper couldn't just entertain the old Zhu family:
"If you really want to do business on Zhengyang Street, you still have to think twice."

Before the shopkeeper went out, he added something, which proved that the problem was really serious.

We can't just be afraid that Lao Zhu's family will also open a restaurant and compete with them.

"Chuanjie, have you seen that, we really need President Xia here, we need him to quickly integrate the business."

After waiting for the shopkeeper to go out, Zhu Chuanwen said to Chuanjie.

If you want to rectify the business environment, the first step must be to get Xia Yuanzhang to come over quickly.

Xia Yuanzhang was a local from outside the Pass, and he could represent Zhu Chuanwen's will.

He has always been an excellent candidate for handling merchant relations both outside and inside the customs.

It applies when you are in Yuanbao Town, and the same applies after arriving in Ice City.

"I will write a letter to my father when I get back and ask him to come to Bingcheng as soon as possible." Yushu said first.

"Yushu, the shopkeeper has to arrange things well before things can get better. No matter how urgent you are, it still takes time." Chuanjie replied to Yushu.

Xia Yuanzhang's career is mainly in the Yuanbao Town area.

Without arranging the shops and factories at home, Xia Yuanzhang would not be able to settle in Bingcheng just like the old Zhu family did.

Even if Xia Yuanzhang is now an official businessman, shops and factories are no longer the foundation of the Xia family, but the relationship with Lao Zhu's family is the foundation of success.

But Xia Yuanzhang couldn't just come to Bingcheng alone.

The talents and capital of the original chamber of commerce must also be transferred to Bingcheng, so that Xia Yuanzhang can really help Zhu Chuanwen.

"Just leave these things to Yuqing. Yuqing is not young anymore and should be responsible for it on her own."

Yushu is quite confident in his little brother.

"Yu Qing is of great use, so leaving him at Yuanbao's home would be overkill."

Zhu Chuanwen was the first to object to Yushu.

The Xia family's method of cultivating heirs has always been good, and Yuqing is indeed a good business talent.

And there are obvious signs that one is better than the other.

Xia Yuqing received a modern school education and is proficient in Japanese, Russian, and English. She is fully capable of becoming a rare foreign trade talent in this era.

Apart from not having studied abroad and lacking some knowledge, there are no flaws.

Bingcheng, an international commercial port, is actually the place where Yuqing is best suited to develop her talents.

Although Yuqing has always been playing behind Chuanjie and Yushu.

But Yuqing has always respected Zhu Chuanwen, who rescued him from the dead in Lushun.

He is definitely a confidant that Zhu Chuanwen can rely on for decades.

Don't waste anything on the Xia family's business.

"Then urge my father to hurry up. Don't let him delay big brother's affairs."

In addition to trying to please Zhu Chuanwen, Yushu also hoped that the Xia family would come over soon.

After settling down his family, Zhu Chuanwen focused most of his energy on official duties.

There are twenty or thirty embassies in a city.

When there are tens of thousands of foreign nationals, it is difficult to manage.

These foreign investors are making huge profits outside the customs.

It is indeed an eyesore, but Zhu Chuanwen really needs these people.

Even if we don’t consider the international situation, we must also consider the development of Ice City.

We can't drive people away, we can only find ways to keep as many benefits as possible abroad.

Bingcheng's foreign trade now only exports food and resources in exchange for industrial products.

This is an obvious economic plunder by foreign capital outside the customs.

Exchanging food and resources for technology and equipment is the right way to develop.

But foreigners have been bandits for hundreds of years and have rich experience in plundering.

We will not easily export technology and equipment.

This requires a long-term battle of wits and courage and various means.

Zhu Chuanwen still lacks an excellent diplomat.

Although Zhu Chuanwen even learned Japanese for future forms.

Now he is proficient in several languages ​​and can communicate with people from any country, but Zhu Chuanwen does not have the energy to do these things himself.

The better thing is that Bingcheng does not lack talents.

When Zhu Chuanwen was still trapped in Heidong, there was a flaw in recruiting talents from Bingcheng. Some people didn't want to be too far away from home, while others liked big cities.

But after arriving in Ice City, the talents of Ice City can enter my jar.

"Chuanwu, our parents hope you stay in Bingcheng. What do you think about making you the director of the patrol department?"

Half a month was enough for Zhu Chuanwen to transfer Chuanwu back.

"Brother, I don't want to be a patrolman. There are no battles to fight as a patrolman."

Chuanwu did not hesitate and refused directly. He had not considered a department director, who was also considered a high-level official in the province.

"Now that the whole Black Province is at peace, how can there be so many wars for you to fight? You think about fighting all day long, can you hope for something better? Don't you have no pursuits except fighting?"

If you count the fourth dimension of Chuanwu according to the game.

The military strength of Chuanwu may be eighty, the commander may also be eighty, the intelligence is probably forty or fifty, and in terms of politics, it may be zero.

I like fighting without any purpose, I just like fighting itself.

"It's not that I don't have pursuits. I do have pursuits, but what's the use of having pursuits? Can I achieve them just because I have pursuits?" Chuanwu shouted, and suddenly became depressed.

The only person who could make Chuanwu's mood change so drastically was a woman.

But Chuanwu was making himself uncomfortable.

After Zhu Chuanwen and Xian'er decided to get married, there was no possibility for Chuanwu and Xian'er.

When he had this kind of emotion, Chuanwu should have restrained himself long ago, so as not to cause the current situation.

"Not to mention your pursuit, you can't pursue anything serious." Zhu Chuanwen changed the topic. Chuanwu always gave up, and there was plenty of time to let Chuanwu slowly give up:
"I'm asking you to manage the patrol house. I'm not trying to trick you. This is really a heavy responsibility given to you. In the patrol house, you will encounter greater challenges and more enemies than you will in the army..."

To manage such a large city, the number of police officers must not be small.

When there are a large number of patrols and they are equipped with weapons.

The thousands of people armed in the city cannot be handed over to one person easily.

Giving it to the upright Chuanwu was a good choice, and it also comforted some of the Zhu Wei family in raising their second son.

Although Chuanwu is not that clever, the main task of the patrol is definitely not to investigate the case. If there is a real case, just find a few specialized investigative talents.

Maintaining law and order is the most important thing that security patrols should ensure.

Cleaning up the gangsters and gangs in the city is really suitable for a young man like Chuan Wu.
