Previous page        Return to Catalog        Next page

    Unexpectedly, with Wang Kuang's advance, the status of these families in the eyes of the officials in the court rose a lot. Look, the Marquis of Jian'an did not even need to ask for their opinions, but he could make the decision and help them advance so much.  , is there any need to guess the relationship between these families and Marquis Jian'an?  The Sun family is the founder of Marquis Jian'an's prosperity, the Huang family of Changxi is the in-laws of Marquis Jian'an, and Xinghua Village was previously rumored to be a disciple of Marquis Jian'an, but none of them has been confirmed, but today it can be confirmed that he is a disciple of Marquis Jian'an.  That's right.  (.) The Jiang family, aren¡¯t they the Jiang family who contributed a lot during the flood?  There is also King An Yi, who didn't expect to have such a deep relationship with Marquis Jian'an. Well, after returning home, he must explain to his subordinates that he should try his best to build good relations with these families.

    At the same time, many officials had a better understanding of Wang Kuang's net worth. In the past, it was said that Marquis Jian'an was rich and the richest man in the Tang Dynasty. But no one had an idea of ??how rich he was. But now  , Wang Kuang threw out 1.5 million yuan without blinking an eyelid. How rich is this?

    What is the concept of 1.5 million yuan?  It can provide food and clothing for a million people in Chang'an for ten years, and the food is not bad. The meals include fish and meat, the clothes are warm enough, and there is shelter; 1.5 million guan can make at least  Thirty large ships; 1.5 million guan, enough to save all the officials, scribes, government officials, and soldiers in the entire Tang Dynasty for one year's salary; 1.5 million guan is guaranteed to destroy Goguryeo, Tubo, or Parthia  Or the owners of Dashi were so confused that they couldn't come up with the money, but it was more than the combined income of several small countries in the past five or six years!

    Nowadays, Fulai Inn and Fulai Stores are almost all over the world. Except for the border areas where Wang Kuang refused to let them go on the grounds of unsafe conditions, there are at least one Fulai branch in every state, such as Yangzhou.  These wealthy places are almost owned by one county. In some places, even in the town, you can see a big sign with the word "rich" hanging high at the entrance of the town.  I just want to remind the merchants who come and go: there is no need to rush anymore, there is Fulai Inn and Fulai Store here.

    In the past, because of the Jianlin Restaurant in Chang'an, Fulai in the Guanzhong area had almost no involvement, but as people all over the world have more and more money.  Correspondingly, the same situation as in Jian'an began to appear in Chang'an. Some families simply stopped having meals at home and had three meals a day at Jianlin Restaurant or had them delivered to their homes. As a result, there were too many customers.  Few seats.  Long queues began to form again. Jianlin Restaurant had already opened three branches in Chang'an, and Shanwaishan had also opened several branches. However, it turned out that it was still a drop in the bucket and could not meet the demand. Only then did Fulai Inn officially appear in Chang'an.

    Someone has to say, since there are so many people eating, are other restaurants stupid?  Why don't you open a few more semicolons?  This is true.  If there were no Jianlin Restaurant or Shanwaishan in Chang'an, it would be no problem to open more of the others.  But the problem is that no one can shake Jianlin Restaurant's number one spot in the Central Plains, and Shanwaishan's second position is much ahead of third place. The turnover of just one Shanwaishan restaurant is higher than the combined sales of at least eight of the following restaurants.  There are more, but Shanwaishan is less than half of Jianlin Restaurant!

    This is why over the years, those restaurants have worked hard to attract the top ten in every world competition to their names with high salaries, while those with less strength cannot afford to recruit the best, but they can be in Jian'an  Those who showed up for the world competition were almost the leaders of each state.  So these people are also popular.  In this way, every restaurant in Chang'an has its own dishes and banquets.

    Of course, it's not that those restaurants have no living space. Each restaurant has different positioning and target market. If the entire catering industry in Chang'an is compared to a pyramid, Jianlin Restaurant and the Fulai Inn that later moved in are the top layer.  The second floor is undoubtedly firmly occupied by Shanwaishan.  After years of selection, the remaining restaurants have each found their own position.

    Jianlin Restaurant and Shanwaishan almost serve the big shots, the wealthy, the royal family and the top nobles, as well as those related to the royal family. Of course, those who are extremely rich and can afford the money will be treated the same. There is no  Because you don¡¯t have a title or title, you won¡¯t be allowed in. All the services are the same. In Wang Kuang¡¯s words, when you come to a restaurant, there is no distinction between high and low when it comes to food. Who dares to take the position?  To oppress people with their wealth, I'm sorry, I don't serve you at Jianlin Restaurant and Fulai Inn!

    As for Shanwaishan, it mainly serves middle-level officials and middle-level nobles. When Jianlin Restaurant and Fulai Inn cannot receive so many guests and are too busy, those at the top will choose to dine at Shanwaishan.  A supplement, after all, this is the second-ranked restaurant.

    ??This is the case. For example, in the Fang District in the southeast corner of Chang'an, almost all the households are poor. No one will stop them from going to Jianlin Restaurant. As long as you can afford to eat, as long as you are well-dressed, you can sit down.Come down to order food, and Jianlin Restaurant is not all expensive. The first floor is also a lobby with densely packed tables. Occasionally, there are also students who come here because of their reputation. As long as they spend a few tens of pennies, you can eat.  For wine, there are also meats and vegetables, and a bowl of rice for you.

    Just because of Wang Kuang's reputation, Jianlin Restaurant and Fulai Inn have become a very high-end status mark in everyone's eyes. If you feel that your wealth is not enough, you will not go to these two restaurants unless you are particularly greedy.  place.  They will choose restaurants and restaurants that match their wealth and status to spend their money.

    It can be said that Jianlin Restaurant and Fulai Inn can bring an income of one million guan to the Wang family every year, while Shanwaishan is not as good, but it still has as much as 200,000 to 300,000 guan.  But Wang Kuang¡¯s source of income is not mainly from these companies. The real big source is from amber candy, marching cakes and cans. The combined income of these items to the Wang family is far more than one million yuan. If it had been  Wang Kuang wants to control the business of Marching Cake Shop. If he wants to eat alone, it is possible to earn tens of millions of guan in a year. Of course, these tens of millions of guan will not all come from the Tang Dynasty, such as the Anxi Dashi, etc.  If you want to buy these products, the price will be much more expensive than what people in the Tang Dynasty buy. Although they are not the biggest consumers, they account for at least 40 to 50% of the profits provided to Wang Kuang.

    Therefore, when everyone in the court was deeply shocked by Wang Kuang's wealth, they also asked themselves, if it were them, holding so many hens that could lay golden eggs, would they also be like the Marquis of Jian'an?  Same, would you like to take out most of them?  The answer is obviously no, it would be good if they can come up with 10/20. Therefore, it is very strange that no one is jealous of the Jian'an Wang family having such huge wealth. Of course, even if they are jealous,  I didn't dare to say anything. Which of the big shots in the court has not received any benefits?  Who dares to risk being drowned in spit?  No one dares.  Especially when King Li Tai of Wei was overthrown so easily by Wang Kuang, and after the emperor and Changsun Wuji didn't even say a word of favor, no one dared to do so.

    The reason why Wang Kuang dared to do this was because he only dared to do so in the past two years. The world is rich and everyone has some money, so he dared. Moreover, he also has a purpose of doing this, which is to make the government and the public aware of the recruitment that will start next autumn.  Students should pay more attention to emerging disciplines such as the Academy of Astronomy and the Academy of Astronomy. As you can see, this was built under the leadership of me, Wang Kuang. If you want to live a good life and have your own chance to get ahead, you must  Seize it, the opportunity is given to you, it¡¯s up to you whether you can take it or not.

    A total of 2.8 million yuan is almost enough to repair Yong'an Palace. The reason is simply because the foundation has been laid, the planning has been done, and many materials are ready-made. The difference is that in terms of design  , without changing the overall basic structure, it is necessary to make slight improvements to the building. For example, in order to waterproof, the ground must be dug again, and the waste from the kerosene mill of the Ministry of Works is so thick that it can even burn in winter.  Spread a thick layer, and then put a thick layer of lime and charcoal on top of it to isolate the poisons that may be brought by the waste. On top of it, there must be at least three feet of solid rammed soil.  Then the stones were laid, the soil was compacted, and the gold bricks were laid. This was equivalent to raising the height of all the palaces in Yong'an Palace by seven or eight feet. In this case, there was no need to worry about any moisture intrusion.

    In terms of fire protection, all wood must be soaked in water glass and then painted. Although it is not completely fireproof, it can effectively prevent the spread of fire. The poisonous gas is the hot melt gas of sodium silicate crystals, but when it is mixed with  After water forms hydrates, it will no longer volatilize, and it will no longer be toxic. Of course it will volatilize after a fire, but if the fire cannot be stopped, what is the toxicity?

    And because of the mass production of steel, all major palaces will use steel bars sandwiched between the sidings. In this way, if one day, a bold thief dares to come to Yong'an Palace to do evil.  The only way they want to attack is the doors and windows, and the doors and windows are also made of steel bars. Therefore, if the royal family is in the room, the doors and windows are very safe once they are closed. And if a thief breaks into the palace, it is also the doors and windows.  Once it is closed, they have no choice but to capture it. Of course, in order to prevent the thief from sneaking in and locking himself and the target of the assassination together as soon as the doors and windows are closed, each palace has a back door. The location of the back door is only  Only an emperor can know this. Xu Guoxu knew how to arrange it and did not need Wang Kuang to worry about it.

    Before the New Year's Eve, Yong'an Palace began to be busy in full swing. Old Man Wei personally went to work and wandered around the construction site all day long when he had nothing to do, supervising the progress of the project. He was worried and wanted to repair Yong'an Palace one day earlier.  It would be best if a tall building could be erected overnight.  (To be continued)
