As soon as Chai Zhewei saw the other party's expression, he knew he was right and exclaimed: "Brother-in-law, how did you guess it? Are you really a god, able to count?"
Xiao Rui knocked the kid on the head and said, "If you look closely, every detail of each person's past is hidden in every detail. You can see that his diet tends to be light, which is very inconsistent with the land of Youzhou in the north, which shows that he He is a southerner. Although he has been doing business in the north for many years, his accent still has a bit of Jiangsu and Zhejiang flavor, and he is most likely from Huzhou."
Bang! The wine bottle and glass in front of Shen Fu fell to the floor. This guy was already stupid.
"You, who are you? Are you a human or a ghost?"
Chai Zhewei's eyes widened: "No way, are you all right? Hey, haven't I already told you my brother-in-law's identity? He is the county guard. Now that I want to recruit you, shouldn't you tell me your origins?"
After a long time, Shen Fu calmed down and sighed: "As Mr. Xiao said, I was born in the Shen family of Wuzhou. My father Shen Faxing, Yu Wenhuaji killed Emperor Daye. My father was the governor of Wuxing County at that time, so he raised troops to kill him. I killed Yuwen in the name of supporting the soldiers and establishing myself. Wude was defeated and died in the third year of the war. I had no choice but to go to Youzhou and join the merchants incognito."
Xiao Rui suddenly realized that after traveling for three years, he had heard countless anti-king stories among the people. Among them, Shen Faxing, who proclaimed himself King of Liang in Suzhou, was one of them.
"As expected, you are a queen from a famous family. So, you are the son of the late Prince Liang, Shen Lun?"
Shen Fu felt that his expressions were not enough, "You are only twenty years old, and my father's deeds were all ten years ago. How do you know? Even my name? Who are you?"
Chai Zhewei said disdainfully: "Hey, what? Do you think we are here specifically for you? Who is my brother-in-law? If you want to recruit talents, you don't have to show up at all. You can just say a casual word and the people who come will line up outside the city gate. "
Xiao Rui slapped him over and said, "You're quite good at bragging. Then go back and help me write a recruitment list. I'll see if anyone comes to sign up."
Chai Zhewei stuck out his tongue and quickly ducked aside.
"My Excellency, Xiao Rui, the newly appointed Chief of the Governor's Office of Youzhou, Shi, will temporarily handle all important military and political affairs for Anle."
who? ? ? Who do you say you are?
The following title, Shen Fu, no, it should be called Shen Lun, he didn't hear a word, because when he heard the word Xiao Rui, he was already stupid.
"Could it be that it was Xiao Yushi who carved a stone tablet at the Chang'an City Yushitai and vowed to wipe out the injustices of the people of the world?"
"What? Am I really that famous?" Xiao Rui touched his nose and said with a Versailles-style humility: "For various reasons, I was promoted two levels from the Yushitai and came to Youzhou to become a long history."
"Is it really Xiao Yushi?" Shen Fu was so excited that he bowed his head.
Xiao Rui grabbed him and said, "There's no need for this. Let's eat, Brother Shen. Don't scare the other guests and delay the shopkeeper's business. What about your proposal just now? Brother Shen, would you deign to come over and help me?"
Shen Fu suppressed his excitement and nodded heavily: "You have a thunderous name, and you are from a top noble family, but you can open up a way for the poor people in the world to survive. You are the only one in the world. If you can really reshape the business order of Anle County , why not give Shen’s broken body to you?”
Xiao Rui smiled, "As expected of a businessman, I negotiate the price first and then provide the chips. If I am unable to restore order, will you refuse?"
this……
"My rank is not high. I will give you the treatment of an eighth-grade official for the time being. I am under the jurisdiction of the Metropolitan Governor of Youzhou. As for the specific affairs, I will open a special restaurant in the city in the near future. Please be aggrieved and be the shopkeeper first."
ah? As a restaurant manager? Then what kind of official salary is there? Has anyone ever seen an official doing business in person?
"For the time being, I will be of great use after running the restaurant. In the future, if you win the Anle Chamber of Commerce, you will be the new president appointed by the government."
On this day, Shen Lun felt dizzy, as if he was in a dream. Years later, when he recalled this day, he was extremely lucky that he just explained a notice to others and it could change his fate.
"Brother-in-law, aren't we going to the Chamber of Commerce?" Chai Zhewei was confused, why did he go back to the county governor's office now?
Xiao Rui sighed: "Before going, I originally planned to discuss with the people of the Chamber of Commerce with emotion and reason, and let them cooperate with my next actions for the sake of national justice. Now it seems that it is simply impossible, and This Anle City is so unfair, it’s time to help them change their rules.”
"Great, brother-in-law, do you want to kill everyone again like you did in Chang'an? I can also participate this time, tsk tsk..."
Xiao Rui knocked over with a loud bang, "What are you thinking about? You come from a famous family and should be well-rounded in both civil and military affairs. How come you are like a reckless man who only knows how to fight and kill? You know, the world of martial arts is not about fighting and killing, but the world of martial arts. It’s human nature!”
Chai Zhewei grinned from being knocked down and complained in a low voice: "We are not knights wandering around in the world."
"You kid, when will you get the idea? Well, it seems that you have to be patient and spend some time. I'm new here and don't understand the details. It's not okay to rush ahead greedily. It's my fault for being impatient." Xiao Rui said with emotion: "However, my uncle sent Su A general guarding peace has both advantages and disadvantages.”
When Chai Zhewei heard that he still had problems with his father, he quickly asked for advice.
Xiao Rui explained patiently: "The advantage is that peace can be maintained, and no one dares to make trouble in Anle. But the disadvantage is that he does not know how to manage politics and wastes Anle's trade resources. A prosperous city cannot earn money for the court every year. If a profit of 100,000 taels is made, then the county guard here is useless."
ah? One hundred thousand taels?
Chai Zhewei said with a bitter face: "Brother-in-law, are you wrong? There are people coming and going here. Although it is prosperous, but you want to make a hundred thousand taels by collecting the head tax for entering the city? One hundred thousand taels is not enough."
Xiao Rui laughed and said: "So your kid is almost like General Su, and you don't understand anything. The first thing I have to do next is to cancel Anle's city entrance tax and raise the prosperity here to a new level."
"What? Cancel the head tax? Then, where will the food, drink and supplies for the defenders here come from? Youzhou's treasury has no money to allocate them." Chai Zhewei was anxious.
Xiao Rui had a habit of reaching out and hitting again, but held back halfway, "Children, stop talking if you don't understand. Pay attention and learn carefully. This lesson in Anle City will make it easy for you to govern the entire Youzhou in the future."
"Didn't you say that you can just ask if you don't understand?" Chai Zhewei retorted weakly, but unfortunately Xiao Rui ignored him.
Back at the Sheriff's Mansion, although Su Lie didn't understand Xiao Rui's decision, out of trust and the suppression of his official position, he was a soldier and would only follow orders seriously. The day the notice was posted, the whole city was shocked. The people celebrated with their hats and celebrated grandly. Without wasting any opportunity, Xiao Rui's restaurant opened with simple decoration and instantly became famous!
Chang'an Zuixian Tower - An Le Semicolon!
Although it is a semicolon, it is five times larger than Chang'an Zuixian Tower. Chef Xiao Rui alone has trained thirty chefs, and the seats are packed every day, which shows how popular it is.
