I want to ruin the country

Chapter 50: The big head rushes down, won’t it fall down?

Yining explained,

"Because a restaurant is just a place to eat, and we also have guest rooms where you can stay overnight!

So, ours is a combination of a restaurant and an inn, so it’s called a grand hotel!”

Since ancient times, some inns have been able to provide meals, so they could understand this concept, but they did not quite understand the word "international".

The two people asked,

"Your Majesty, what does this international mean?"

Yining Road,

"International means the whole world, including Asia, Europe, Africa, North America, South America, and Latin America!"

Wenqing asked,

"With all these states, isn't there Western Europe?"

Yining smiled bitterly, finally understanding why Bian Zi Chao was beaten so badly!

As a senior official of the country, you don’t even know how many countries there are in the world, let alone how many states there are. It’s so sad. It would be unfair if you don’t get beaten!

"Master Wenqing, don't you know what states there are in the world? Su Shun, tell him!"

Su Shun was also a little unsure.

"Your Majesty, I only know about Europe, America, and the Russians. I don't know if what I said is correct."

Yining even wants to hit someone, what should he do?

He wanted to explain the world geography to them in detail, but there was not even a globe. He was afraid that they would not understand if he drew a flat surface, so he had to say,

"Forget it. I'll tell you later when I have the chance. For now, I want you to remember that we live on a big round ball. Below us are Europe and America. It's daytime for us and nighttime for them. It's daytime for us and nighttime for them. Do you understand?"

Wen Qing said blankly,

"Living on a big ball, won't they fall off with their heads down?"

Yining was very happy.

"We also rushed down headfirst, how come you didn't fall down?"

"Aren't we facing the sky?"

"Okay, okay, I won't talk to you anymore. You should study hard when you have time!"

The emperor was unwilling to speak, and Wenqing did not dare to force him, so he could only pretend to laugh twice to hide his embarrassment!

Yining continued,

"Let's continue talking about the hotel. In the future, more and more foreigners will come to our country. Our word 'international' means we welcome guests from all over the world. Do you understand?"

"understand!"

Yining Road,

"Those who can cross the ocean to come to China are all wealthy people. How can we be fair to them if we don't leave all their money behind?"

This is easy to understand. The two nodded to show that they understood. The emperor wanted to make money from foreigners.

Yining said again,

“There are also post houses all over the country, which cost the country a lot of manpower and material resources, but the officials still don’t have enough food and accommodation!

In the future, when there are hotels everywhere, there will be no need for the government to spend a lot of money to maintain post stations! "

Su Shun said hurriedly,

"Your Majesty, the post station serves more than just providing food and lodging for officials. The court's reports, military intelligence, and government affairs all rely on the post station for transmission!"

Yining smiled,

"I know it will soon be useless, and there will be something more advanced to replace it!"

"What to replace it with?"

Yining Road,

"Even if we use post horses to deliver messages, it would cost much less for just two people to raise a few horses!"

Su Shun nodded.

"That's true! Is the more advanced thing the Emperor mentioned carrier pigeons?"

It is possible to send messages by carrier pigeon, but Yining wanted to develop electricity first and then the telegraph. These things are relatively not too complicated!

But Yining couldn't tell anyone about anything too shocking! Lest Sushun and Wenqing think the emperor was crazy, he had no choice but to say,

"You will know then!"

Wenqing was thinking about laying off the chef and asked,

"Your Majesty, I am a little distracted. Please tell me more about the chefs!"

Yining Road,

“The laid-off chefs were divided into first, second and third grades. The best ones were assigned to restaurants in the capital, and the rest were assigned according to the level of the cities.

Select those eunuchs and palace maids who are smart, capable and have good character and keep them for me. I will make important use of these people.

The rest of the literate and capable ones can be trained to become hotel managers or accountants, and the rest of the illiterate ones can be made waiters or handymen!"

"Let eunuchs and palace maids work as waiters?"

"So what? Initially, these people's monthly wages will be one level higher than those in the palace, and later on, they'll be paid according to the hotel's performance!

If they don't want to work, they can go home and each of them will be given 100 taels of silver as resettlement allowance. Do you think this arrangement is okay?"

Wenqing was anxious.

"Your Majesty, one hundred taels per person is absolutely unacceptable. Thousands of people would mean hundreds of thousands of taels. Even if I sold my slaves, I wouldn't be able to come up with that much!"

Yining waved his hand.

"I'm selling it to you. Even an old cat with crackling eyes needs someone to want it!"

"What should I do?"

"Don't worry, I'll take care of the money. All you have to do is support me!"

Man Hing Road,

"How can the emperor get money, or do you have some private money saved?"

Yining rolled his eyes.

"Nonsense! You don't know if I have any private money, but I have a way to get it. I'll tell you later!"

The two of them stopped talking. The emperor's train of thought was a bit complicated and they couldn't keep up!

Yining continued,

"By the way, if the treatment is good, how many people do you think would be willing to leave?"

Su Shun grinned and said,

"I think His Majesty has thought very carefully about them. I can't guess how many people have left, but it's unbecoming for the royal family to open a restaurant!"

Yining curled his lips and said,

"What do you mean by disgraceful? Otherwise, what are we going to do with these people who are laid off?"

Wenqing asked,

"Your Majesty, can you make money by opening a restaurant?"

Yining curled his lips.

"If the restaurant run by our emperor's family doesn't make money, who else can make money?"

When the two heard that the emperor was going to force a sale, they were shocked!

Looking at the toothache expressions of the two people, Yining laughed in his heart, scaring the two people!

He said again,

"We'll find the most prosperous place, build the tallest restaurant, and make it a local landmark!"

“What is a landmark building?”

Yining felt that communicating with them was really tiring.

"A landmark building means that when you mention this restaurant, you will immediately think of that place, such as Tengwang Pavilion, Yueyang Tower, and Yellow Crane Tower. Do you understand?"

The two suddenly realized,

"Understood!"

Yining said again,

"The decoration inside our restaurant must rival that of an imperial palace. The main theme is luxury and extravagance. We want it to become the leading den of luxury in the area!"

The two nodded in understanding!

Yining became more and more excited as he spoke.

"With top-notch facilities, the Royal Hotel, and the prestigious Imperial Chefs, do you think anyone would want to come?"

“People are definitely flocking to it!”

Yining continued,

"That's not all. If you want to spend money at our hotel, you have to pass the qualification review. If you are not a wealthy person, you are not eligible to spend money here!"

"Ordinary people can't come to eat?"

Yining touched his nose and said with a chuckle,

"Of course. After passing the qualification review, you must pay a deposit of one thousand taels of silver each year to become a member."
