"Saburo can make the final decision on these matters!"
Cui Mi said softly.
Regarding these external matters, unless necessary, Cui Mi would never intervene too much in management according to the teachings he had received since childhood.
…
"The king wants to open two seafood restaurants?"
Li Chang, Cui Hongmo, and Zheng Mingde were all surprised after hearing Li Xuan's words.
Now, winter is coming soon.
It's freezing cold and the roads are blocked by heavy snow. The fish in the sea are not only difficult to catch, but also inconvenient to transport.
This is the most appropriate time to open teahouses and restaurants in the Tang Dynasty to sell hot tea and spirits.
"Exactly!"
Li Xuan didn't know that these people were already thinking of ways to dissuade him, but continued.
"Winter is coming soon. It's freezing cold. You can't catch fish or shrimps in rivers and lakes. It's a time when fish and shrimps are scarce. As long as you can catch a large amount of fish and shrimps from Qingzhou Sea, transport them to Chang'an City, and then match them with
The fresh vegetables produced in the farm, even a pot of fish and shrimp are sold at sky-high prices, and the seafood restaurant will definitely be full of customers!"
"Hey, the fish, shrimps, sea cucumbers, scallops, abalone and other delicacies in the sea are nourishing to people after eating them. Especially those who are helpless and helpless in the face of their wives, they are of great use!
"
Hearing this, Li Chang, Cui Hongmo and others couldn't help but shine.
"Master, do those things in the sea really have such effects?"
"When did I lie to you?"
Li Xuan glared at Li Chang and others, "If you don't believe it, you can try it yourself first!"
"Hehe, don't be upset, my lord, I believe it."
Cui Hongmo and others said quickly.
However, looking at their expressions, Li Xuan knew what these guys were thinking.
"Um!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly, "You are free to do so. However, the most important thing to pay attention to when opening a seafood restaurant is to brave the cold wind to catch fish and shrimps on the sea and transport them. Therefore, you must prepare thick cotton clothes.
Cotton hats, cotton gloves, and even cotton shoes must be prepared!”
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde responded quickly.
After making sure that nothing was missing, Li Xuan slowly waved his hand.
He motioned to Li Chang and Cui Hongmo to start preparations.
Li Chang, Cui Hongmo and others also knew the temperament of their great king very well.
Therefore, he didn't stay too long, bowed his hands, and left quickly.
Soon, Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde took over the two buildings next to Jinwang Teahouse in the east and west cities, and began to renovate them according to what Li Xuan said.
At the same time, Cui Hongmo also sent people to buy two large ships and began to build a small ship port in Qingzhou.
This time, Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others are still allowed to invest in the seafood restaurant, with each holding 10%, Li Xuan 20%, and Cui Hongmo and Zheng Mingde, each holding 50%.
Two of the top noble families of the Tang Dynasty, plus several of the most powerful princes, and secretly supported by the saints of the Tang Dynasty, quickly completed the construction of the ship port.
As for the fishermen who went to sea to catch seafood, they were the old fishermen that Li Xuan took with him when he went fishing.
The convoys transporting these sea goods are also composed of retired veterans.
One month later.
The entire city of Chang'an was covered by a thick layer of white snow.
The streets and alleys in Chang'an City are even more lively than before.
Li Xuan took Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and a few other little bastards to Chang'an City and went straight to Dongshi.
We stopped in front of a four-story restaurant with windows all made of transparent glass, and the window frames and building were painted with bright red paint.
“Welcome to visit Datang Seafood Restaurant!”
As soon as Li Xuan and others got off the bus, a waiter in a clean blue shorts ran over and saluted Li Xuan and others.
However, after seeing Li Chongyi among the several people, the waiter couldn't help but look startled.
Immediately, he quickly glanced at Li Xuan, Li Chengqian and others again, remembering something, and his face was filled with fear.
"I have met His Highness the King of Jin, and I have met all of you gentlemen!"
"From the Prince's Mansion in Hejian County?"
Li Xuan asked curiously, and before the waiter in the shop could reply, he waved his hand.
"Okay, a new seafood restaurant has opened today. I'm just here to have a taste. Don't make any noise. Are there any private rooms in the building?"
"Go back to your Majesty, there is a private room specially reserved for you on the fourth floor. I will take you up right now!"
The waiter said quickly.
"Um!"
Li Xuan responded and walked up.
After stepping through the gate of the seafood restaurant, a hustle and bustle immediately hit you, and you were in a completely different world from the outside of the building.
Regarding this, Li Xuan had memories of his previous life, but it was nothing.
However, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others looked at the table in front of them, which was already full of diners eating enthusiastically, and couldn't help but widen their eyes.
"Master, the seafood restaurant just opened this morning. It's not yet noon. How come there are so many diners?"
Li Chengqian asked with surprise on his face.
“Because of the big opening discount today, any dish at the seafood restaurant is 50% off!”
Li Xuan said slowly.
"50% off?"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others could not help but change their expressions slightly, looking at the entire building full of diners, their eyes filled with distress.
"Master, at this rate, how much money will we lose today?"
"deficit?"
Li Xuan was stunned.
He stared at these bastards speechlessly, "I asked you to calculate the price of seafood restaurant some time ago, have you forgotten?"
"Vegetable price?"
Being reminded by Li Xuan, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and others were startled again.
There was something thoughtful in his eyes.
Immediately, his face was filled with joy again.
"Master, what do you mean?"
Li Xuan couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Humph, it seems that your brains have not been replaced by those of those sea fish and pigs! In this way, I can rest assured!"
Hearing this, Li Chengqian, Cheng Chusi and the others laughed subconsciously again.
Based on the price they set for the seafood restaurant some time ago, not to mention a 50% discount, even a 30% discount, they would not make a profit at most, but they would never lose money.
At this time, several young people who were sitting in a queue on the chairs at the door of the first floor noticed Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and others walking up the stairs, and couldn't help but have a flash of unhappiness in their eyes.
"Xiao Er!"
"This young man, what are your orders?"
A waiter who had been waiting on the side quickly walked over.
"Why do Yeye and the others have to wait in line here, while those guys can just go upstairs in a swaggering manner?"
The young man pointed at Li Xuan, Cheng Chusi and others who were almost on the fourth floor and said with an angry look on his face.
"Could it be that they look down on Ye Ye? Although Ye Ye and others are not powerful people like Wu Xing Qi Wang, Ye Ye and others are also from Jingzhaowei and Hedong Liu!"
"It turns out that he is not even Qi Wang, the fifth surname. No wonder he is so blind, even His Highness the King of Jin does not recognize him!"
Without waiting for the waiter to reply, another young man of the same age behind the young man mocked softly.
Hearing this, the young man looked angry and turned back: "What Jin..."
Then, his expression quickly changed and he turned into an apologetic smile.
"My dear friend, I'm sorry to say that I'm rude. I wonder who among the young men who came up just now is His Royal Highness Prince Jin..."
"That's His Royal Highness Prince Jin!"
"His Royal Highness King Jin?"
Liu Xiezhi looked shocked and looked up again, still a little unbelievable.
"But when I look at those young men, they all look young, at least in their prime years!"
