The first prince of Song Dynasty

Chapter 45

Zhao Kuangyin brought people to the prison of the patrol camp as early as he knew that Zhao Xu's life was not in danger.

He wanted to interrogate these assassins himself, and he wanted to find out who wanted to murder his son, and he had such a son now.

And he is even more promising than when he was young, and now he is already in the emperor's heart at a young age, and is deeply loved by His Majesty.

Now you want to seize the hope of my Zhao family, you want me to lose my beloved son, I don't care who you are, I will never let you go.

In a hurry, Zhao Kuangyin took people to the patrol camp, and the people in the patrol camp did not dare to stop him, everyone knew him.

Zhao Kuangyin impressed everyone so deeply in the Battle of Gaoping. Except for his son Zhao Xu, he was the most dazzling one.

So everyone is still very familiar with Zhao Kuangyin, and invited Zhao Kuangyin in very respectfully.

But when Zhao Kuangyin explained his intention, the top officer of the patrol battalion faltered. It turned out that the assassins were found dead in prison just now.

After Zhao Xu heard what Zhao Kuangyin said, his heart was full of anger. He didn't expect that there were still people who really wanted to die.

I asked myself that when I came to this world, I have never offended anyone, and I have always been conscientious in making contributions.

Relying on his understanding of history, he knew that Zhao Kuangyin would become emperor later, so he didn't make too many changes to history.

I am now working hard to build up military merits and establish prestige in the army, so that after the founding of the Song Dynasty, I can conquer the north and the south.

To complete the unification of the country and fulfill Qin Shihuang's last wish, I have never had any grudges with others when I came to this era.

That is to say, I learned a lesson a while ago, some cheating second-generation officials, they have the motive to assassinate me, but they don't have the strength.

In addition, people who can easily enter the patrol battalion are definitely not ordinary people. It seems that there are still people who secretly want their own lives.

In other words, he wanted to deal with his own Zhao family. In his previous life, he had no family members, only an old man who depended on each other.

Now I have grandparents and parents.There is even a fiancee, who already has a big family.

He absolutely does not allow any accidents to happen to himself or his family members. Now he has clearly felt that Qin Shihuang said that he who wants me to die must die first.

From this moment, this sentence has been deeply imprinted in Zhao Xu's mind. From this time on, Zhao Xu is still the same Zhao Xu.

He is still gentle and approachable, but this is only someone who is not malicious to his own people or to himself.

However, he didn't show any mercy to those who wanted to deal with him in vain. This may be influenced by Qin Shihuang or this incident.

It's only Xiande's second year now, it's still a long time before Zhao Kuangyin's prosperity, even though they are already senior officials of the imperial army.

But these things.As long as the emperor Chai Rong said a word, he could take it all back, and he would not have nothing by then.

Now that he still needs to protect himself, he must have his own strength. Maybe in his previous life, he only focused on conspiracy, but now he is full of conspiracy and conspiracy.

To build your own strength, you must first find the person you trust the most, otherwise you will not be at ease. Although a sharp blade is good, it can hurt the enemy, but it can also hurt yourself.

I can't decide for a while, although my two guards are sincere, but Dong Zhenhai is a big boss, and Liu Qinhu's ability is slightly insufficient.

After this time, the two are more obedient to themselves. Although they still belong to the front office, they have actually become their own personal guards.

But these two people are just warriors, and they are not good at other things. It seems to me that I need to look for talents in this area.

What I can do now lying in bed is to plan for the future and think about how to change myself in the future.

Now the most important thing for me is to make money. Only when I have strong financial resources can I do many things.

In addition, I have to master a lot of news and the news trend of Bianjing before I can take further actions.

Also, you must have your own secret armed force. This does not mean the army, and raising an army is rebellion.

This is serious, it is impossible for him to take this risk, but it is still possible to raise a few guards by himself.

At this time, most families have housekeepers. This is also allowed by the court, so I must decide.

After discussing with that Miao Xun, let him handle this matter. These days Miao Xun has been living in Zhao's house.

In fact, there was another reason why Zhao Xu trusted Miao Xun so much. In the past few days, when he was recalling some things, he found information about Miao Xun.

According to historical records, Miao Xun was a native of Hezhong and a minister in the early Song Dynasty.To be good at astronomical divination is to be able to see the sky.

But this is not the most important thing. The important thing is that this Miao Xun concocted a strange phenomenon in Chenqiaoyi, adding a mysterious color to Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe.

Later, this Miao Xun also became an official, but his official position was not high. It is reasonable to say that Conglong's contribution will not be small. '

But this Miao Xun is only recorded in a few words in later generations, which may have something to do with his own personality.

Hezhong is now Yongji, Shanxi, and he is not from Henan, but the hometown of Miao Xun who is with him is from Nanyang.

Zhao Xu came again, and Miao Xun asked him about his affairs. It turned out that he had stayed in Hezhong for a few years, so he was considered a Hezhong native, and his official registration stated that he was a Hezhong native.

According to Miao Xun later, the crown prince asked him: "Do you really regard Wu as the master?"

Miao Xun replied: "The last wish of the ancestors is the destiny, so I dare not refuse."

Then Zhao Xu handed him an idea of ​​opening a restaurant in Bianjing City, with the purpose of making money.

Zhao Xu mentioned a thing called hot pot, Miao Xun was very puzzled, Zhao Xu just smiled and said nothing, and asked him to quickly find someone to handle the matter as soon as possible.

In fact, the restaurants that Zhao Xu mentioned were different from the restaurants of this era. He divided his restaurants into high, medium, and low grades.

The entire restaurant is divided into three floors, and the bottom floor is the place where ordinary people eat, just like ordinary restaurants.

The second floor is where some rich people and some low-level officials eat and eat, and the third floor is where some top nobles and high-ranking officials go.

Of course, the cost of the three places is of course different. Of course, the lowest cost is very little. Even if the food is the same, the price is different.

Think about a bowl of Yangchun noodles, which are just noodles with a drop of sesame oil on top and sprinkled with ingredients, and the cost is only one or two yuan.

You are eating a bowl of noodles at an ordinary noodle stall.It may be five yuan, but I feel that it is not cheap.

But if you are in a five-star hotel, you don’t even think about eating the same bowl of Yangchun noodles for less than [-] yuan.

Why does the price of the same bowl of noodles vary so much? It is because the place where you eat is different and your status is different.

Do you eat noodles?No, it is a status symbol, and the high price clearly shows that he has status.

So Zhao Xu brought this differentiated strategy from his previous life here. He was not afraid that there would be no customers. In addition to running something similar to other restaurants, he also wanted to launch a brand new thing.

Hot pot, this past life was very popular.

Zhao Xu liked hot pot very much in his previous life, especially on hot days, when he was sweating profusely, eating spicy hot pot was even more refreshing.

And look at some scenes in those gangster movies, no matter the big brother or the younger brother, they all like to party.

The places they go to the most are not hotels or KTVs, but hot pot restaurants, especially the spicy hot pot in Sichuan and Chongqing.

It is even more comfortable to drink a beer after eating spicy hot pot, the feeling of spicy in the mouth is undeniable.

What's more, this is something common people can afford, and it's also a good place to collect intelligence. There are many people with a lot of talk, and of course you can get a lot of information.

Zhao Xu looked nostalgic and licked his lips from time to time.

After telling the specific method of hot pot, let Miao Xun take care of it, and he continued to recuperate.

A few days later, Miao Xun came back and said that he had found a restaurant for transfer, which could meet Zhao Xu's requirements.

At this time, Zhao Xu could get out of bed and walk around, so he asked his servants to carry him in a sedan chair to have a look.

But he didn't go in, he just took a look at the appearance and scale of the three-story building in the sedan chair, and it was not bad.

So I let Miao Xun take full responsibility for this matter, and I asked Zhao Kuangyin to write three words,
"Gourmet House"

In fact, this was still influenced by a TV series in later generations, in which there was a Taoxianglou in Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, which was said to be written by Taizu himself.

Although I don't know if it is true or not, but this Taoxianglou of my own is real, written by my father himself.

Although Zhao Kuangyin doesn't read much, the font is still good. Although it can't be regarded as a silver hook painted on iron, it is still strong and powerful.

Zhao Kuangyin asked why, Zhao Xu said directly that he wanted to open a restaurant, but Zhao Kuangyin didn't ask any more questions.At this time, it is not uncommon for officials to do business.

The Taoxianglou opened very smoothly. On the first day, Zhao Xu decided to come and open it for free. Sure enough, many people came in to taste it.

Who wouldn't want such a good thing for free?

In particular, I heard that they also have a hot pot called "Yipinxiang". What is hot pot, I heard it first.

Everyone is curious about new things, so naturally they attract a lot of people. Sure enough, the supply exceeds the demand on the first day.

This made Lao Song, the shopkeeper of the restaurant, very happy.Lao Song is an old man who followed Zhao Hongyin. Because he was injured that year and couldn't go to the battlefield, he always followed Zhao Hongyin.

This time, when he heard that Zhao Xu was going to open a restaurant, he came here bravely, because something went wrong with him.

I am very happy to see that the business is so good on the first day. Although the first day is free, it can be seen that everyone is still very satisfied.

Sure enough, the next day, there were already many people waiting outside the door, and Miao Xun was also arranged by Zhao Xu to sort out and collect information.

Since then, this place has become Zhao Xu's information distribution center, and it is so convenient to collect information.

　Second, I wish you all a happy Labor Day!
