Chapter 104: Traitor
Fu Chunjian snorted coldly.
"We have entrusted the blessing of this prince, but the people have suffered a lot. If we fight for the throne entirely based on political achievements or military merits, it would be in line with the original intention of choosing the capable emperor. But now, the dispute over the throne has completely changed. The prince who can finally sit on the dragon throne is not a scheming, sinister and cruel person. Such a person is even worse than a mediocre emperor who is worried about the world. At least, a mediocre and not stupid emperor has hope to benefit the world if he meets the assistance of his wise ministers."
"When a person like Emperor Gan Wei is extremely scheming and may have some ambitions in the early stages. But after becoming emperor, he had to think about how to eradicate the remaining forces of the losers, how to balance the heroes and not let them get bigger and not let them get cold, how to control the ambitious prince... When he has time to consider how to become a wise monarch who has been passed down through the ages, he has turned into a pile of dead bones."
"There were several famous prosperous eras in the Han Dynasty. They all ascended the throne early, and before they ascended the throne, they did not meet an emperor with a comparable prince and a long life."
Lin Dong was stunned and immediately said in a angrily voice: "Speaking of this, Emperor Ganwei has also ascended the throne for forty years."
Fu Chunjian smiled bitterly: "If he could live for another twenty or thirty years, it would be a prosperous era."
Lin Dong was amused and crying, and this inference was incredible.
The battle for the throne is not something you can do. After a moment of silence, Lin Dong said, "Director Fu, how is the new policy being implemented?"
"A few small items have been issued that will not touch the fundamental interests of the big players." Fu Chunjian said.
"Only a few small items?" Lin Dong said in confusion: "According to this progress, how long will it take to push it!"
Fu Chunjian said helplessly: "There is no way. The more you push it at once, the greater the resistance you will be. And it comes from all the rich merchants and households. Only by letting those rich merchants and households who are operating properly understand these new policies will harm their interests, but a good time is the right way. If there are no rich merchants and households willing to support the new policies, these new policies are not a good thing for Xilan County."
Lin Dong nodded. He knew the role of businessmen in a society even better than Fu Chunjian, who is proficient in governance. He could easily understand this thoroughly.
"By the way, the injury of County Magistrate Zhou is not serious? In order to make Liu Chuanxiang not doubt whether there is any trick in it, I ordered Jiang Zhen to take action and make a real sword."
Fu Chunjian shook his head: "It should be fine if you take care of the internal injuries for a year or two, and it should be fine. The same is true for broken legs, but it's just that it's not very convenient to move."
"It's really hard to make money, so it's hard for the magistrate of Zhou." Lin Dong sighed.
Fu Chunjian smiled and said, "Since I have decided to use evil to control evil, I naturally have to have this enlightenment. This little pain is nothing."
"Well, no matter whether it is successful or failure, no matter where County Magistrate Zhou will eventually go." Lin Dong said with a burning look: "I believe that future generations will definitely give you a notarized evaluation."
Fu Chunjian smiled casually: "If you cheat and cheat people who dare to do anything, you don't care about what future generations say. You just want this method to benefit the more people, the better."
Lin Dong laughed: "This mentality is good. As long as you do it step by step, even if you fail, the people of Xilan County will not be able to bear much suffering. If you succeed, it will not only be because of the benefits of Xilan County. No matter what reputation he has, he can just close his eyes and enter the coffin with peace of mind."
Fu Chunjian couldn't help but praise: "Shopkeeper Lin is very insightful!"
"It doesn't hurt your back when you stand and speak. Anyway, if you succeed, the business of Linji Inn will get better and better. If you fail, you are the two of you who are scolded. It doesn't matter if you are the shopkeeper of me."
“…”
After talking until the moon rises to the willows, Lin Dong realizes that he has gained a lot of knowledge, and Fu Chunjian gets up to say goodbye.
After Fu Chunjian left, Lin Dong was not idle either. He recorded the layout of the backyard of the new inn inn in detail. The next morning, he arranged for Liu Hao to go to Qiufeng City again.
Huang Wanren returned with his servant at night and three days later, and finally gave Lin Dong an answer.
The plan to defeat Fenglin Restaurant can cooperate.
Although Lin Dong was anxious, he couldn't urge him day and night. It took two days before Huang Wanren chose the address to build a restaurant.
Huang Wanren has been doing business for decades and naturally knows that the more urgent the purchase of land, the higher the cost. The negotiation speed of you taking a step back today and I taking a step back tomorrow... If Lin Dong hadn't been afraid that Huang Wanren would be suspicious, he would have wished he would pay a high price to buy the land for him.
Helplessly, the emperor is not in a hurry, and it is in vain that the eunuch is anxious to die. Lin Dong could only slowly survive the days when his experience value could not be increased.
One morning, Lin Dongshang planned to practice the 180th Zhoutian again, and the bang sounded outside the door.
"What's up?"
"Shopkeeper, it's me..."
A slightly dry sound rang outside the door.
Master Chen?
Lin Dong stood up and opened the door.
Standing outside the door was Chen Yeyuan, one of the three chefs of Linji Inn.
"Master Chen, are you asking me for trouble?" Lin Dong said in surprise.
"Yeah!" Chen Yeyuan's face, which was not wrinkled due to his fat figure, lowered a little.
"Come in and talk!"
Chen Yeyuan was the first chef Lin Dong hired after taking over Lin Ji Inn. Although he was a few days later than Wang Liuzhi and the others, he was not as loyal to him as they did, but he was also one of the elderly people at Lin Ji Inn. In addition to the older generation, Lin Dong respected him. Seeing that he wanted to speak but stopped, he knew that he had encountered something unspeakable, so he couldn't help but smile and welcome him into the room.
When Chen Yeyuan sat down at the desk and poured him a cup of tea, Lin Dong sat down aside and said as relaxedly as possible: "Master Chen, when you came to Linji Inn, there were only five guys from the inn. If you were in the sect, you would be an elder-level figure. If you have any problems, I will definitely help you if I encounter any difficulties at home."
Chen Yeyuan mustered up his courage and looked up at Lin Dong, but it only took a few seconds before he lowered again: "Shopkeeper, I..."
Lin Dong had to guide him slowly: "Is it because the family needs a lot of money, or is it because the family is in trouble?"
Chen Yeyuan held the teacup and shook his head without saying a word.
Helplessly, Lin Dong had to wait slowly.
Perhaps he couldn't stand the depressing atmosphere in the room, or finally made up his mind. After a while, Chen Yeyuan took a sip of tea, raised his eyes, and gritted his teeth and said, "Shopkeeper, Fenglin Restaurant can prepare stewed turtles with similar taste to ours so quickly because I took them 100 taels of silver and told them the seasonings and heat."
"What?"
Lin Dong stood up in shock. Fenglin Restaurant launched the stewed turtle with maple tung leaves. It was nearly a month after Linji Inn launched this signature dish. If someone was sent to Qiufeng City to buy tung leaves as soon as possible, it would take only 20 days to go back and forth.
In more than ten days, with the strength of Fenglin Restaurant, it was not a combination of ingredients to hide the bitter and fishy smell. Therefore, Lin Dong never suspected that there would be a traitor in the inn.
But unexpectedly, Chen Yeyuan actually came over and told himself that he was a traitor!
"Prince, shopkeeper, I'm sorry..." Seeing Lin Dong's expression like this, Chen Yeyuan lowered his head again.
The cold light in his eyes flashed, and Lin Dong said coldly: "Why tell me?"
"I, I..."
Chen Yeyuan hesitated for a moment, and said weakly: "The day before yesterday, the people from Fenglin Restaurant came to me again and asked me to find out what ingredients the shopkeeper added to the Fengtong Leaf Stewed Turtle, so that this dish can strengthen its physique after eating it. If I can't find out, he threatened me to tell me that I would betray the shopkeeper. I checked for two days, but the shopkeeper didn't put any ingredients at all..."
"I know that I am a ruthless person and I am afraid that I will take revenge on you, so I can only come and ask me for my forgiveness?" Lin Dong sneered: "This abacus is really good! I can't find the ingredients, and I can't escape from the city of Zeland. I'm desperate, and I hope I'm nostalgic about it?"
Chen Yeyuan's body trembled and he hurriedly knelt on the ground. He had no doubt about what he saw and heard for more than half a year. Lin Dong was really angry and could do it even if he killed him.
Looking at Chen Yeyuan who was trembling, Lin Dong took a deep breath and said coldly: "Old love is old love, betrayal is betrayal, and you will give you a chance to redeem it. Tell the people in Fenglin Restaurant that the ingredients are seventh-level Fengling Grass and Wanhongguo. After finishing, spit out all the silver, and then go to Wang Liuzhi honestly and tell him which leg you want to be broken!"
Chen Yeyuan was shocked, but he did not dare to touch Lin Dong's anger anymore. He trembled and turned around like a soul-losing loss.
"etc!"
