Luqiao Town is not far from Jining, and it is not much prosperous. Once the inn is opened, the business will definitely be good. Moreover, with the Beggars' Sect, you are not afraid of all kinds of local tyrants.

As for the capital, let alone the prosperity of the world, where the business is bad, and there is also support from the Queen of Hang and his family, it would be good not to bully others.

"Xiao Duan, you just said that I have given you two big gifts in a row, and I will give you the third big gift next. Do you dare to ask for it?" Zhou Qinchuan deliberately made a furious Xiao Duan.

"A soldier died for his confidant. If Manager Zhou respects me so much, how could I retreat?" Xiao Duan could hear that this so-called third gift was not simple.

"Okay, I'll talk to Gao Qianhu, and let you be the West Factory Centre. In the future, if you have smart and reliable friends under your command, you can also let them be spies and be responsible for the West Factory while doing business, and the Queen and the Queen are inquiring about the news with us. How can you bear it?"

This is the original intention of Zhou Qinchuan to invest and let Xiaoduan open a branch. The inn is welcomed and sent to you every day, which is an excellent place to inquire about the news. According to later generations, it is a natural intelligence station.

Of course, Zhou Qinchuan had something to say, and what was more important was the last few words. The inn not only had to work for the West Factory, but also had to inquire about the news for Empress Hang and the Olawei. I believe that with Xiao Duan's intelligence, he should be able to understand the profound meaning.

"Dare not to serve you." Xiao Duan was slightly stunned when he heard this, but soon he looked solemn and clasped his fists, obviously understanding.

"When the branches in Luqiao and Jingshi are almost done, go to Datong to open a third branch, the faster the better."

"Yes." Xiao Duan answered very happily, without asking at all why he wanted to open a branch on the northwest border of the empire, which made Zhou Qinchuan, who was interested in explaining, lose his place to use his skills.

As a major town on the nine borders, Datong has always attached great importance to the military pressure on the grassland.

However, Zhou Qinchuan's focus was not here. What he cared about was the movements of Datong General Shi Biao.

As one of the three great contributors to the Sect Rebellion, Shi Heng is still a good Marquis of Wuqing. Since he wants to help Xiao Ji to throne, Zhou Qinchuan naturally has to be on guard against this person.

Moreover, during the Datong period, when Shi Biao, the nephew of the Olawei and Shi Heng and the general of Datong, had become dirty, he needed to be more cautious about his uncle and nephew's secret tricks.

Opening an inn in Datong is mainly used to deal with Shi Biao, but it is too early to do it. Let’s wait until Xiao Duan gains a foothold in Datong.

As for Shi Heng, the people in the capital are responsible for paying attention.

At this point, Zhou Qinchuan's purpose of going to the inn has achieved all his goals. Next, he specifically explained to Xiao Duan how to open a branch.

For example, find someone to design the logo of Zhao's Inn, which is uniformly used on the doors of branches in various places.

For example, the guy dresses uniformly, the linens in the room, that is, the same style of bedding and sheets, etc., use external consistent forms to initially create the brand of Zhao's Inn.

After a fooling around, Xiao Duan and Su Yourong were amazed. Even Qin Qi and Zhao Zitong, who were ignorant of business, were not aware of it.

Then, under the leadership of Zhao Zitong, Zhou Qinchuan and others went to Uncle Dong's grave and gave the old man who had lived with him for several months.

In the evening, Zhou Qinchuan refused Xiao Duan and others' kindness to stay, and left the inn with Zhao Zitong and returned home.

......

In the hot summer, a large number of people suddenly flooded into the Jinxiang Wharf, which had always been deserted. For a moment, flags were everywhere, people shouted and neighed, which was very lively.

Although the Hanghou was unwilling to bother the local area, the scale and formation of the imperial carriage still alarmed the prefect of Jining. At present, officials from all over the state served him in front of him and horses.

For matters such as providing a station, searching for ships, guarding and escorting, etc., there are no need for people from Hangzhou Hou to come forward, and local officials will arrange it.

After delaying for three days in Jining, they finally collected all the ships needed by a large group of people. In order to ensure the safety of the Empress's Driving, the Jining government specially requisitioned the Jinxiang Wharf, which was a bit remote from the Prefecture and was usually not crowded.

At the same time, idle people are prohibited from entering and leaving, and Jinxiang Wharf is made into three steps and one post in five steps.

Although Queen Hang doesn't like this kind of disturbing place, as if she is facing a great enemy, she shudders when she thinks that Xiao Ji was assassinated before and is lost for two years, so she does not have the kindness of the local government.

The group of people slowly arrived at the dock in a carriage like an iron barrel.

“Well…”

The guard clamored and tightened the reins in his hand. The carriage stopped steadily. The curtain was lifted from the inside, and a small figure jumped out of the carriage.

"Ji'er, why are you so naughty? Be careful to sprain your ankle." A female voice came from the carriage.

"It's okay, mom, I can ride a horse, let alone a carriage. I want to see the big boat earlier, but I haven't taken it yet."

Xiao Ji replied indifferently. When he looked up, he happened to see Zhou Qinchuan who had changed into a beautiful armor and turned into a guard, standing in front of him.

"Brother..." Xiao Ji was about to call out the name he had already called, but saw Zhou Qinchuan shook his head slightly, and couldn't help but relieve the previous explanations from the adults, and swallowed the words behind him.

What my mother and her second uncle had to consider, but the elder brother repeatedly emphasized that in the future, unless there are only him and sister Yourong and sister Qin Qi, you must not call him "brother" if someone is present.

Since that's the case, just be obedient.

Xiao Ji blinked at Zhou Qinchuan, and saw his brother smiling when he saw him reply. The corners of his mouth were slightly raised. He raised his hands like a little adult, walked to the river bank, looked at the double-decker boat close to the river bank and sighed, "What a big boat, it looks so beautiful."

Zhou Qinchuan also looked at the pleasure boat behind him. He said that he had no knowledge like Xiao Ji, and when he first met such a ship, he was also amazed.

Many of these ships are divided into two floors. In addition to the decoration of gold and silver, they have independent rooms, windows and doors. Compared with later passenger ships, the difference is not much smaller than that of later generations.

But Su Yourong is different. She is good at Jiangnan and has seen a lot of knowledge. She knows that because the northern section of the canal is shallow, it is impossible to pass through large ships. Such two-story pleasure boats are not available in Yingtianfu area.

The waterways in the lower section of the Yangtze River are deep and wide, with large ships on three or four levels abounding, and the luxury on the ship is no less than that of later generations. I was shocked by Zhou Qinchuan and sighed that he underestimated the ancients.

Hang Yunxian slowly got off the carriage with the help of Yan'er. She actually wanted to have fun like Xiao Ji. She was just the queen of the mother's etiquette and should not lose her etiquette. With so many military soldiers at present, how could she allow her to be presumptuous?

When he heard Xiao Ji say that he had never taken a boat, he sighed that the boat in front of him looked good. Hang Yunxian felt sad. The child still couldn't remember the little things he had done before. How could he have not taken a boat? He came to Tai'an to visit his relatives three years ago and crossed the Ji River but took a boat.
