I want to ruin the country

When the emperor said that it would cost another 1,000 taels of silver to buy a membership, Wenqing and Sushun were confused again and asked,

"What is a membership? It costs one thousand taels?"

Yining smiled and said,

“Membership is not a thing, it’s just an artificial threshold!

Only members are eligible to eat here or enjoy some high-end services. Otherwise, no matter how rich you are, you will not be served!"

"why is that?"

"That's called a gimmick. They artificially set up a small circle. The people in that circle are either rich or noble, and they are all celebrities. This way they can highlight their superiority and gain more face!"

"What about those who are not members?"

"People who are not members are inferior, they are country bumpkins, they are nouveau riche, and they will be looked down upon!"

Yining laughed and said,

"Do you think these rich people will be willing to pay to get in? Otherwise, they will be the ones who will be embarrassed!"

The two people understood it. Although they didn't know whether this method would work, they felt that it was quite mean. It was just to make these rich people compete with each other!

They found it very interesting. They wondered what was wrong with the emperor's brain to come up with such a wicked trick!

What they didn't know was that Yining had been thinking of a lot of dirty tricks in his mind these days, with the purpose of emptying the pockets of the rich people in the world and giving the money to the poor.

Then, when the time is ripe, we will carry out public-private partnership to completely eliminate the gap between the rich and the poor. This is the path taken by teachers in later generations. Yining wants people to enjoy his benefits in advance.

The two people asked,

"Hurray, is there anything different from other restaurants?"

Yining said proudly

“Of course, membership alone isn’t enough, you have to make a reservation in advance every time you come to dine!

For those who come to consume at the last minute, you have to pay at least 30% more!"

The two were surprised.

"Do you want more money?"

Yining raised his head and said,

"Of course, that's called style!"

The two of them were confused again.

"What is Faner?"

"It means being unique and special! Do you think a hotel like this will make money?"

Two people shook their heads.

"do not know!"

Yining said again,

"Our big hotels will issue these members a certificate. Their membership cards are recognized by all our big hotels. They can eat wherever they go and enjoy the most thoughtful service. Isn't that attractive?"

Su Shun asked,

“It’s not only attractive and convenient, but also gives you face!”

Yining said with a smile,

"Hey, that's right. I guarantee you'll make a lot of money, and the palace will never have to worry about money again!"

When the two men saw the emperor's eyes glowing green, and his eyes were full of greed, they thought he didn't look like an emperor at all, he was just a profiteer!

But this is really good. By laying off half of the people, the palace's expenses will be reduced by half. This is cost-saving. If the restaurant can really make money, it will increase revenue!

The emperor is both increasing revenue and reducing expenditure. He is truly a genius in business!

In fact, it is really useless to keep thousands of people in the palace. However, after thousands of years, who would dare to say it if the emperor doesn't say it himself?

Wenqing said,

"Your Majesty, what you said is true, but this matter is somewhat shocking. Can I reserve my opinion?"

Yining was very happy.

"You can keep your opinion to yourself. You can disagree, but the Ministry of Internal Affairs is under your control. I don't care. How about you just provide these people with food, drink, and shelter?"

Wen Qing was horrified. His family had been officials for generations and they had a lot of savings, but if they had to support thousands of palace maids and eunuchs, he felt that he still could not afford it!

Besides, even if he can afford it, it’s not his responsibility!

The current emperor does not play by the rules. Can he stop him?

Since it can't be stopped, then just use the Eight Immortals table to cover the manhole cover and just follow the square to make the circle.

He chuckled,

"Your Majesty, I will not hold back. I will do whatever Your Majesty says!"

He had no objection, and Su Shun had nothing else to say.

Su Shun was not a legitimate son, but a concubine's son, and was destined not to inherit the title, so he had to move out of his home and make a living on his own when he came of age. When he lived in Picai Hutong for the first two years, he could just barely make ends meet.

Although the situation is better now, if he has to support the entire palace for the emperor, not to mention that he is unwilling, even if he is willing, he cannot afford it.

Su Shun bowed and said,

"Your Majesty, I agree!"

Yining said again

"This matter must be completed within a month, and the selection process must follow the steps I just mentioned!

One month later, all the selected people left their jobs. Those who had to leave left, and the rest were arranged to attend training classes for unified training.

Once restaurants are built in various places, we will put them on the job."

Man Hing Road,

"Your Majesty, are we responsible for selecting locations for restaurants in various places? I'm afraid we can't do it all."

Yining Road,

“Of course you can’t handle it all by yourself, so you need to ask local officials to recommend a location, or let them find a place directly. They certainly know where the best location is in their territory!

Whether it involves demolishing houses or buying and selling land, we must deal fairly. We cannot use our royal status to force purchases and sales. If anyone violates this, they will be beheaded!"

Man Hing Road,

"It seems that Your Majesty has already made a plan for how to build the hotel?"

Yining nodded.

"I'll provide the design and our treasury will pay for it. Let them build according to the blueprints. You'll set up an inspection team. If anyone tries to take a penny from this, I'll kill their entire family!"

Su Shundao,

"Your Majesty, you are so thoughtful!"

Yining Road,

"It's not okay to be inconsiderate. Everything is prepared, otherwise it will fail. We should think of what they can think of in advance.

These eunuchs and palace maids have been in the palace for so many years. Even if they have no merits, they have worked hard. How can we not find a way out for them!

Wenqing was also very happy.

"Your Majesty, if that's the case, the work shouldn't be difficult!"

Yining Road,

"There are always more solutions than problems."

The two agreed, and Yining said,

"One more thing: no more eunuchs will be recruited within three years. Even after three years, it's uncertain whether we'll still recruit eunuchs. This must be announced to the world to prevent anyone from making mistakes!"

Wenqing was puzzled.

"Your Majesty, if we don't hire eunuchs anymore, who will serve in the palace?"

Yining Road,

"We have these eunuchs now, they will be enough for a few years. We can worry about the future later!"

What Yining really meant was to eliminate the eunuch industry in the future. It was too cruel!

Not to mention eunuchs, even brothels and red-light districts must be eradicated at the appropriate time. This is what I learned from my teacher!

Wenqing and Sushun didn't know what the emperor was thinking. They thought the emperor was just afraid of spending money. Wenqing asked again,

"Your Majesty, you don't have to recruit eunuchs. The selection will be held soon!"

"Draft?"

Yining remembered that the two empress dowagers, the East and the West, entered the palace through selection in the past two years.

As for the Eastern Queen Mother, she was okay. As for the Western Queen Mother, hmph, he didn't want to leave trouble for future generations, so he waved his hand and said,

"There are so many important things waiting to be done. Don't choose now. I'll decide when I'm in the mood!"
