Chapter 618 European Refugees
When Liu Jun entered the store, he ignored the gentlemen and talented men at that table. Although these people were either the top scorer or the second place, Tanhua, the most time was also among the top ten in the second place.
There was no boss's wife in the store, so Liu Jun went straight back.
This German store is located in the Henglan next to Qianmen Street. The street and alley is the storefront, with many tables and chairs in the lobby, and a large counter facing the door. A strange old goatee sat at the counter, burying his head and pulling his abacus.
When she saw Liu Jun come in, a big and plump buttocks, blonde and blue-eyed ocean horse came up. She was wearing a Hanfu skirt with a cross-collar collar, but the original implicit Chinese dress was always a bit too tight and broken. Her chest was raised high, her waist was very thin, and her buttocks were very high.
"Welcome, what do you need to order?"
Liu Jun couldn't help but smile when he heard the unique Chinese language. This taste was so foreigner, but it could be expressed. This is Beijing dialect.
"Where is Lina?" Liu Jun asked directly.
The smiling Yangma immediately looked at him with a scrutiny look when he heard someone ask Lina.
"I am her partner." Liu Jun had no choice but to add.
"Are you a official from Guo?" asked Yangma tentatively.
Liu Jun nodded, and the Yangma hurriedly said, "Wait, I'll report to Sister Lina." The Yangma twisted his butt and went back to report the news.
After a moment, Lina trotted out. As soon as she saw Liu Jun, her face immediately showed a look of joy, without any concealment.
"I thought I offended you somewhere and made you hate me, so I refused to come in the future?"
“There are many business matters at the end of the year.”
"Go upstairs." Lina took Liu Jun's hand and walked upstairs. Liu Jun knew that the upstairs was originally where Lina lived and also served as a temporary warehouse to store some ingredients.
"Last time after listening to your opinion, I felt that the accommodation upstairs was a waste. I cleaned up some of it and decorated it into a private room. In this way, the store can receive more customers, especially some customers who like quietness and can be undisturbed. Please help me see what else needs to be improved. If possible, it will be officially opened in two days."
Liu Jun followed Lina upstairs, and the ocean horses followed. Both Western women were very plump and beautiful, especially with an exotic style. The foreigners in the capital are not rare now. There are many foreigners, and everyone is gradually getting used to these barbarians.
When the boss lady pulled Liu Jun past Wu Weiye and the others to the upstairs, these young talents were all a little surprised.
"Isn't the private room upstairs not open? Why can this brother go upstairs?" Zhou Zhong has always been a little arrogant. They had heard that there was a restaurant run by Western women here, full of extraterritorial style and unique cuisine. After everyone found this place, they found that it was really good. There were indeed blonde and blue-eyed barbarian women in the store, which were quite delicious.
These people are also considered romantic and talented men. All of them are from officials or landlords. They are all talented and rich. When they saw a private room upstairs, they wanted to go upstairs, but the beautiful boss said that the upstairs had not been decorated and would not open for the public for the time being.
But now the boss’s wife personally pulled a young man upstairs, and everyone couldn’t help but eat.
Zhou Zhong was even more dissatisfied and stood up and stood in front.
"Everyone, the upstairs has not been officially opened yet." Liu Jun bowed.
"Did you think we're easy to cheat? If you don't have business, what are you going to do?"
Zhou Zhong's nostrils were facing the sky and snorted coldly. He was once a talented man from Jiangnan and was also the president of Fushe. The imperial examination was also very smooth.
He first worked as a Shujishi in the Hanlin Academy and then as an editor. Now he has entered the Zhongshu Department and is a Zhongshu Sheren, so he has become more and more conceited.
"I am friends with this store owner, so I'll help her take a look." Liu Jun replied.
When Zhou Zhong saw that Liu Jun was in his twenties, he looked pretty good in his dress as a scholar, but his attitude was not too humble or arrogant.
"My brother, who is from Taiwan? I'm a student in the current examination, but I don't know if I can pass the exam and which one will be ranked?"
I was a little unpolite when I said this. Even Huang Zongxi and others felt that it was inappropriate, so how could they ask such questions?
"This brother has invited me to Huang Taichong, Yuyao, Zhejiang. These are also undergraduates in the same year, and those seniors are all fellow villagers in Jiangnan. Now they are all officials in Beijing. I will introduce one or two to my brothers."
"It turned out to be the top scholar who won the three yuan in a row. Not to mention that the few are the seven gentlemen of Fushe, but are these five people the five talented men in Jiangnan?" Liu Jun pretended to be surprised and admired after hearing Huang Zongxi's brief introduction.
Zhou Zhong's face was indeed a little better.
Everyone looked at Liu Jun and waited for him to introduce himself. Liu Jun actually didn't want to report his family. Of course, his real identity is hard to say, and it is not convenient to say that his fake identity is Guo Wende, a Hanlin editor, and a Jinshi in the 13th year of Chongzhen. The people here are famous scholars, and there are people from the Hanlin Academy. Once they report their identity, wouldn't they reveal their feelings?
Therefore, Liu Jun pretended not to know and refused to report his identity.
"Everyone talks slowly, I'll go upstairs first."
"Wait, I think I'm very destined to be with my brothers. Why don't you let everyone go upstairs and help me give me some advice?" Wu Weiye smiled. He always felt that this young scholar was not simple, and he seemed to be a little familiar, but he couldn't remember it.
In fact, he was a small military officer and had very few opportunities to meet the emperor. Even if he saw the emperor, many people must be present. At most, he would look at him from a distance. As a minister, he would not dare to look at the emperor's face unrestrainedly.
He never thought that the seemingly ordinary scholar in front of him would be today.
Zhou Zhong also snorted with his nostrils facing the sky, "We are willing to show this shop, you should be glad."
Chen Mingxia next to him immediately said to Liu Jun, "This brother Zhou is a member of the Secretariat. He usually drafts the imperial edict for the emperor. If he helps to give some suggestions, it will definitely be useful."
Zhou Zhong was not humble either, and looked arrogant.
Liu Jun just smiled but said nothing. The Zhongshu Sheren sounded very high-end, elegant and upscale, but in fact he was just a scam of ordinary people who didn't understand the tricks.
The Zhongshu Sheren of the Han Dynasty also followed the Ming system. There were several types of Zhongshu Sheren, including the Zhongshu Keshen, the Zhongshu Sheren in the east room of the Wenhua Hall, the Zhongshu Sheren in the west room of the Wuying Hall, the Zhongshu Sheren in the cabinet, and the 5 types of Zhongshu Sheren in the cabinet, all of which are from the seventh rank.
Zhou Zhongzhu was from the Zhongshu Kosai. The Zhongshu Kosai was not called a subject because it was all outside the Meridian Gate and was connected to the official offices, so it was used to be called a subject. The Zhongshu Kosai had twenty Zhongshu Kosai people. No matter how long it was, only one of the elderly was the handwritten by the handwritten by the elderly, and the rest were from the seventh rank officials.
Zhou Zhong was not the oldest in the Zhongshu Department, so he was naturally not a palm print.
He was only one of the twenty Zhongshu Sheren in the School of the Central Secretariat. In addition to the Zhongshu Sheren, the Great Han Dynasty also had four Zhongshu Sheren, including the Zhongshu Sheren in the East Room of the Wenhua Hall.
The Secretariat of the Five Yamen each has different divisions of labor.
The people of the Central Secretariat were responsible for writing edicts, edicts, silver books, iron vouchers, etc. The people of the Wenhua Hall were responsible for writing books according to the orders. The people of the Wuying Hall were responsible for writing bookmarks, books, and albums according to the orders. The people of the cabinet were responsible for writing edicts, books, and albums. The people of the cabinet were responsible for writing edicts, edicts, and translations of edicts, as well as foreign documents, exposing posts, commemorating merits, and reviewing and bookings. The people of the house were responsible for writing edicts, edicts, edicts, lists, treasures, jade letters, sermons, steles, memorials, memorials, and posts. As well as the edicts and talismans of the royal palaces. In short, these people were only writing edicts as usual, and they did not have any important powers.
To put it bluntly, the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat is actually a secretary. And he is not that kind of important secretary, but just ordinary secretaries who can't even see the emperor at all.
It’s similar to those in later generations such as the General Office of the Municipal Party Committee and the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. When people outside heard this, they actually worked in the General Office of the Provincial Party Committee. That’s amazing, the leader. They contacted provincial leaders all day long.
In fact, many people are just the most ordinary clerks, writing some text reports, and even doing odd jobs and pouring water. This is the case with Zhou Zhong. The Zhongshu Department is just writing imperial edicts.
During the Tang and Song dynasties, the Zhongshu Sheren had the right to draft edicts on behalf of the emperor, and the Zhongshu Sheren was an important position at that time. Compared with that time, the Zhongshu Sheren is like the difference between the secretary-general and the secretary, the chief of staff and the staff.
It is said that the staff officer does not lead the leader. No farts are loud. Zhou Zhong, the sanctuary of the Central Secretariat, thought it was so awesome without knowing it. In fact, the real farts are not loud, and they usually cannot even see the emperor. Their yamen is directly outside the Meridian Gate, not in the imperial city, and even beyond the square outside the Qianqing Gate where the Han Dynasty's most core yamen is located.
Lina is very good at doing business. She has been in the Great Man for a long time. She only knows that the status of the sixth and seventh rank Beijing officials is not low, and she does not know whether the Zhongshu Sheren is truly in power. She is afraid that Liu Jun will conflict with these people, so she hurriedly asked Dayangma to take Zhou Zhong and other seven gentlemen and five talented men to go upstairs together.
She followed her upstairs and said a few words, then went downstairs directly because Liu Jun was too lazy to go upstairs together.
"How about I'll pour you a beer and some hot dogs?"
“Okay.”
Liu Jun chose a table to sit down. Lina personally brought him dark beer and hot sausages.
She sat opposite Liu Jun and poured herself a glass of dark beer.
"I really thought you wouldn't come?"
Liu Jun smiled, picked up the dark beer and drank it, put down the wine glass. He looked at her and asked, "Have you thought about opening a branch?"
"If you are willing to work together, I will open it."
"Then let's open it. I'll borrow the loan from the bank. How many of them can we separate?"
"How many companies do you think are good to open?"
"I think we should open two new stores first, Dongmen Street and Ximen Street each. These two streets are the most prosperous and have many customers." Liu Jun was very attentive to this matter. He handled military and national affairs all day long when he was in the palace, which made people tired, but opening two small stores at this time made him very interested.
It is said that people have five levels of needs, and eating, drinking, defecation and urination are just the most basic physiological needs.
This is like a hobby. Usually, work is just to make money to meet physical needs, while amateur hobby is to be spiritual needs.
"We will open two new stores first, so there will be no pressure. We will take out the loan first, then recruit some people, and then look for store rentals. We also have to carry out unified style decoration. In this way, after the fifteenth day of the first lunar month next year, we should be able to officially open. By the way, I bought a small courtyard house in Caishi Street."
"I will listen to you about opening a store. I will go to Caishi Street with you. I will go to buy vegetables and also check out your new home. Next time I have time, I will send you pig's feet and beer." Lina said with joy.
As they were talking, a large group of people suddenly rushed in from outside, all of whom were red-haired Europeans, including men and women, and many others were carrying large bags and even holding their children and daughters.
"Lina, I'm taking the person back." A loud voice rang out at the door, and then a blond man with a big black bear squeezed in.
