"Your Highness, I still don't understand why the restaurant was chosen in Anyifang?"
In the carriage, Di Renjie asked puzzledly.
Since receiving 200,000 yuan in dividends from Li Xiaogong, Li Ke's pockets can be said to be very deep.
However, when he saw the best location for opening a store selected by Di Renjie and others, he rejected them all.
Facing his inquiry, Li Ke smiled and asked: "Old Di, how many restaurants are there in Chang'an City that are booming now?"
Regarding this aspect, Di Renjie naturally asked Zhao Ming and others to investigate.
After thinking about it in his mind, he looked at Li Ke.
"Back to Your Highness, there are four restaurants with the most prosperous business, namely Babao Restaurant in Shanhefang, Xingsheng Restaurant in Chongrenfang, Changchun Restaurant in Yongningfang, and Juxian Pavilion in Qunxianfang."
"In addition, there are ten restaurants that are doing decent business."
"So Lao Di, you haven't found any problems with the locations of these four restaurants?"
Chang'an City is very large, with a total of fourteen streets running from east to west, and eleven streets running from south to north. All streets are horizontal and vertical, with no arcs.
The overall outline of Chang'an looks very square and square, which is very consistent with the concept of a round sky and a round place.
Because of this, Chang'an City was cut into 108 squares, and there were two east and west square markets, which were also the two largest markets.
The Imperial City is located in the north of Chang'an City, where officials work every day. Officials in ancient times implemented a shift system very early.
It doesn't mean that you can go home directly after you go to court.
Further north of Huangcheng is the Taiji Palace where Li Shimin lived. Geographically, it is located in the north of Chang'an City.
It represents that the emperor sits at the center and is in charge of the world.
The two sides of Taiji Palace and the Imperial City are also divided, called Miyagi City.
The only people who can live here are some ministers, officials and nobles from aristocratic families.
At this point, if you look from a high place, you will find that Tai Chi Palace faces the Imperial City, and the main entrance of the Imperial City is the Suzaku Gate.
Zhuque Gate faces Mingde Gate in the outer city of Chang'an in the distance. The street between the two is also called Zhuque Street.
At the same time, this street is also the north-south central axis that divides Chang'an into two.
When Li Ke first saw the floor plan of Chang'an City, he was particularly surprised.
Because the entire city of Chang'an is so symmetrical!
In contrast, the Song Dynasty after the Tang Dynasty did not do a good job in urban planning because its economy was too developed.
At least not that intuitively.
The restaurant Li Ke bought was actually on this street, but not so far forward.
When Di Renjie was mentioned in this way, he immediately discovered that these four restaurants were all located in extremely crowded areas.
Shanhefang is facing the Zhuque Gate, and next to Chongrenfang and Yongningfang is the East Market.
The only one in the outer city is Qunxianfang, next to Jinguangmen and West Market.
Looking at the other ten restaurants, they are actually all next to the main roads.
"Your Highness, do you think we will be targeted?"
The location chosen by Di Renjie and others was also a square facing Zhuque Street, named Xingdaofang.
This is located on the right side of Zhuque Street. Two streets away is the East Market, which is also an area with a large flow of people.
"It's not that we will be targeted, but we will definitely be targeted. With our dishes, it's only a matter of time before it becomes popular."
"Besides that, I have another concern."
Li Ke pointed at it and sighed.
"This is what Your Highness means..."
"I'm afraid that my father will find out and think I'm a disgrace to the royal family. Lao Di, have you ever seen any prince run away to open a restaurant?"
Li Ke spread his hands, feeling helpless.
These words also made Di Renjie nod. According to royal etiquette, Li Ke's current behavior is indeed inappropriate.
Especially because of the shortage of manpower, he had to go into battle himself.
If this reached Li Shimin's ears, it would be hard to imagine what Emperor Taizong would look like.
"His Highness's words, I understand. If we choose Xingdaofang, it will really lead to a big mistake."
Di Renjie said guiltily.
"It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter. In the final analysis, you still don't understand the situation, Old Di."
Li Ke didn't mean to blame the other party. On the contrary, the current situation made Di Renjie overuse his talents.
He still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.
When he thought of this, Li Ke had the idea of sealing it off.
After all, those who live in Longtan Tiger's Nest in Chang'an are afraid of doing anything.
In his own fiefdom, he can really do whatever he wants, as long as he doesn't rebel.
No, no.
You have to wait a little longer, earn enough money in Chang'an first, and then take the money directly to the fiefdom. Wouldn't it be wonderful?
After all, developing a local economy requires a lot of money.
Counting on the imperial court to allocate funds to local areas?
It's better to go to the rooftop and drink the northwest wind, at least you can feel it.
The carriage went south along Zhuque Street and soon arrived at Anyi Fang.
The restaurant is located directly opposite the entrance of Anyi Fang. As soon as you enter, you can see the signboard of Yuelai Inn.
Compared with the prime location near the Imperial City, the house prices in Anyifang are relatively cheaper. Li Ke only spent 30,000 yuan to buy the entire restaurant, including some vacant houses around it.
Li Ke also has his own ideas about these vacant houses, but they won't be completed for a while, so he is not in a hurry.
"Master Li, you are here!"
"Gather everyone together. After today, our Yuelai Inn will be open for business."
"Okay, Mr. Li."
As soon as Li Ke and others entered the restaurant, the waiter ran over diligently.
As for the original staff of the restaurant, Li Ke did not fire them. Anyway, it would be too troublesome to recruit them again after they were fired.
Of course, the shopkeeper and other core staff put on their own royal guards.
Soon, a large group of people gathered in the lobby, including the waiters, the cooks, and even the grandma who was sweeping the floor.
Apart from anything else, Li Ke was still a little excited.
Isn’t this considered starting a business?
After everyone gathered together, Li Ke, as the new boss, naturally drank a lot of chicken soup for the soul.
As long as you do well, you will be rewarded and so on.
I thought that if these words continued, the people below would at least identify with me more, not just as if they had received chicken blood.
But he didn't expect that the people below were still in a lackluster mood, which made Li Ke a little confused.
"Sir, you don't know something. The pie you painted just now was already painted by the previous boss."
Seeing that the atmosphere was not right, the former shopkeeper came to Li Ke's side and whispered in his ear.
Good guy!
It turns out the problem lies here.
Li Ke couldn't help but twitch his lips. It seems that drawing big cakes is really an ancestral tradition and has been around since ancient times.
However, he didn't just come here today to draw cakes. He simply stopped fussing and asked Zhao Ming to bring out the money.
"Give me money!"
