Xue Song tasted the wine and food last night, and there was really no problem. Yibo Restaurant is located in the middle of Nanshi. There is no problem.
"So that's what it is!"
Li Mo understood.
As long as the most basic things are OK, the rest will be much easier to handle.
Journey to the West now has a certain audience base. If "Water Margin" is released in the future, there will be many people and merchants coming and going in Nanshi. Water Margin will definitely be their favorite, and the restaurant will not be short of customers by then.
"Lang Jun, what about listening to books today..."
Xue Song asked.
In the middle of the night yesterday, he also informed a group of servants about what the book club was doing.
"It starts at noon today, so Xiaohai should have no problem making announcements in the West Market. By the way, Erhou, Duan Chong, you guys will decorate the lobby on the first floor first!"
Li Mo glanced around.
In fact, some tables and chairs do not need to be moved. You only need to leave some space at the door. After all, no matter how big the lobby is, the space is limited, and there will always be people who can't grab a seat.
After that, he walked to the counter and drew a simple layout diagram with a pen.
This layout is the same as that of cross talk halls on Earth. The only difference is that the performance stage is replaced by a long table.
"Yes, Langjun!"
After getting the layout plan, Erhou and others immediately started working.
"Mr. Lang, there is one more thing!"
When Erhou and others went to rearrange the hall on the first floor, Xue Song pulled Li Mo aside and lowered his voice.
"Oh? What's the matter?"
Li Mo raised his eyebrows.
"Mr. Lang, have you ever seen the magnificent Zuixian Tower opposite?"
"Um!"
Li Mo turned around and glanced outside the restaurant door.
Compared with Zuixian Tower, Yibo Tower looks extremely shabby and dilapidated, and it is difficult not to notice it.
"Do you know who the owner of that restaurant is?"
Xue Song narrowed his eyes. Today, his body has recovered to about 7788 and he can do some things.
"who?"
"It's Xu Shan, the landlord of the book club!"
"Xu Shan?"
Li Mo's face turned cold.
He really didn't expect it to be such a coincidence.
"Lang Jun, according to my brothers, this Xu Shan is very special. In addition to being the owner of the Zuixian House, he also has a large manor outside the city, which houses many people in the world."
Xue Song nodded.
When he has free time today, he must go to the manor outside the city to investigate and see how many trump cards Xu Shan has.
My body should be able to fully recover in two or three days. If the strongest in Xu Shan's manor are only sixth-grade warriors, then I can give them some clues in advance.
"Even if he is not simple, the matter of driving us here cannot be easily solved."
Li Mo clenched his fists.
That is to say, I took over Yibo Restaurant by chance, otherwise I would definitely be reduced to telling stories on the street today and staying in an inn at night.
As for Xu Shan owning a manor outside the city, Li Mo was no longer surprised after hearing that Zuixian Tower was Xu Shan.
Regardless of whether it is the Eastern Capital or the Western Capital, wealthy businessmen and dignitaries have the habit of building manors on the outskirts of the city. There is no need for land deed approval! You can build as many manors as you can. Whoever builds it will own it. The only requirement is that it cannot be occupied.
The farming land of the common people can be close to mountains or rivers.
Of course, this is the rule,
Some high-ranking officials and dignitaries quietly occupied it in private without anyone daring to say anything, not to mention that some princes in the court also had their own fiefdoms.
"Lang Jun, then we..."
"Since Xu Shan is on the opposite side, let's grab his customers first! Let his Zuixian Tower have no business and cut off his financial path! As for the people he keeps in the manor outside the city, wait until we find out the details.
It’s not too late to think of countermeasures.”
Li Mo narrowed his eyes slightly.
With the current strength, it may not be realistic to uproot Xu Shan, but it should still be possible to steal their business.
"Yes, Langjun!"
Xue Song nodded heavily.
I have to say that my master's behavior is really to his liking, and he will treat it as such if he is bullied.
........
At three o'clock in the morning, Luoyang, the eastern capital, became increasingly lively, and various hawking sounds were heard in the western market.
The front door of Moran Book Club was not as lively as it was two days ago. Under Zhao Hai's vigorous publicity, many common people, literati, and scholars who came to listen to the book went to Nanshi first. After working for an hour, Zhao Hai saw the destination.
When they arrived, they tore up the door of the club and closed it, packed up their things and rushed to Yibo Building in Nanshi.
In addition to helping there, he also wanted to find out where the owner of Xuanyang Paper Mill lived, so he wouldn't stay here long.
When Xu Shan and Jiang Yunyi stood in front of the book club with seven or eight boys, there was nothing inside except a pile of discarded manuscripts.
"Boss Jiang, except for these manuscripts, the place is yours!"
Seeing this situation, Xu Shan smiled at Jiang Yunyi.
Li Mo's actions made him a little surprised. He originally thought that Li Mo would be entangled, but he didn't expect it to be so straightforward, but it just suited his heart.
"It's natural! Thank you very much, Boss Xu. I will definitely not forget Boss Xu's kindness when my family Chaowei becomes a clerk."
Xu Shan was satisfied, and Jiang Yunyi was even more satisfied.
Along the way just now, he didn't see Li Mo, which meant that he had completely left the West City.
In this way, today's copy of "Liu Yi's Biography" will definitely sell well.
How can you not feel happy when your worries are easily solved?
"Then I'll have to ask Boss Jiang to take care of me from now on!"
Xu Shan waved his hand and signaled his servants to start moving the manuscripts.
The reason why he wants these unsellable copies is to move them all to Zuixian Tower for the drinkers to watch for free. There are always a few people who like free things, which can attract diners.
Far better than disposing of them as toilet paper.
"Don't worry, Boss Xu!"
Jiang Yunyi smiled.
But after a pause, Jiang Yunyi suddenly thought of something, turned around and asked,
"I heard that Boss Xu also raised some people in the world in his manor outside the city... I wonder if this is the case?"
"Um?"
Xu Shan frowned, wondering why Jiang Yunyi said this.
"Don't worry, Boss Xu. I just want to give Boss Xu another great benefit. You know that I am interested in the temple and am not interested in people in the world."
Waving his hand, Jiang Yunyi smiled.
There are big and small merchants. The wealthy merchants may be able to run the world and have good connections in the court at the same time, but the medium-sized merchants can only choose one. It's not that they don't want to operate both, but regardless of whether they want to run both.
It costs a lot of money to run it all the way, and I can't afford it at all.
Xu Shan likes the world. What he likes is the court, nothing more.
"Oh? What a great benefit? Boss Jiang, let's hear it!"
Seeing this, Xu Shan's expression changed slightly, and he became interested.
"I heard that a seventh-grade swordsman came to the west of the Eastern Capital City recently. If Boss Xu can recruit this person to his command... then..."
