Chapter 1089: Reception
The group stopped at the entrance of an inn called Fuyuan. Jiang He jumped out of the car first and opened the door for Qian Biao and others.
"Governor Qian, we're here."
Looking at the inn, Qian Biao looked puzzled: "Don't you stay in Guanyi?"
Jiang He shook his head: "The Guanyi has been cancelled by Li Xiang's order. This time, all the representatives who came to Chang'an stayed in different inns. But the Governor was worried that the inns that were included in this reception have been carefully examined, and there is absolutely no problem with safety."
Speaking of this, he lowered his voice and said, "There is absolutely no problem with internal security."
Qian Biao understood what the other party meant. The inner guards must have installed people in this inn.
"Just why did you need to cancel the official post?" He still didn't understand.
Jiang He smiled and said, "Two considerations. One is that Chang'an City was destroyed by the pseudo-liang and was in trouble. These inns and other inns in the past were facing bankruptcy. This is also a meaning to bring them back to life. The second one is that Li Xiang felt that the official post was too expensive, and he had to support people and pay for reception. All of this money can be saved to do other things."
Qian Biao was silent. Everyone said that Li Xiang was a money skeleton, and it seemed that it was true. Even this little money was calculated.
"But the cost of this reception was paid by our Ministry of Rites. In the future, Governor Qian will have to pay for it himself when he comes to Beijing. Of course, you can get reimbursed after you go back to Hunan." Jiang He said with a smile.
"Will this cause some people who go to Beijing to falsely report their expenses and fall into their pockets?" Qian Biao immediately discovered the problem.
"How is that possible?" Jiang He's head shook like a rattle: "The Ministry of Personnel is determining a reimbursement standard. According to different levels, all business travelers have fixed reimbursement fees every day. This fee will vary according to different places. For example, the standards in Chang'an and Wuyi are higher, while other places are lower. If you can't use it, you can fall into your own pocket. If you use it more than you can, you can pay for it yourself."
Qian Biao suddenly realized: "This is not bad, and it also invisibly encourages everyone to be thrifty."
As he spoke, the shopkeeper of Fuyuan was already in a panic and greeted him from the inside. The person who came here was the governor of a province, a real big man. In the past, how could such a big man stay in his inn? If he had flattered him, he would have a long-term business in the future.
Listening to the shopkeeper's accent, Qian Biao was stunned: "Shopkeeper, are you from Hunan?"
The shopkeeper nodded and bowed: "Governor Qian, my grandfather came from Yueyang, Hunan and opened this Fuyuan in Chang'an. Now it is the third generation. It is definitely a time-honored brand. The chefs here are made classic Hunan cuisine! Keep it to your taste!"
Qian Biao nodded with satisfaction: "Dr. Jiang, I'm worried."
"No need to worry or worry. In fact, the preparatory team of the conference has conducted detailed investigations in advance, and basically searched for inns and restaurants according to this idea. Speaking of which, Fuyuan spent a lot of money to receive the governor and his group this time, and the entire inn was renovated. The shopkeeper, I heard that you have paid back the loan?"
"Governor Qian is a noble person. Being able to live in a lucky fate is our blessing, so we naturally have to work hard." The shopkeeper said repeatedly.
Jiang He smiled and said, "Governor Qian has been entertained. Before leaving, I will leave you with Mo Fu in the inn. You will make money! In the future, people from Hunan to Chang'an will be pouring into you!"
The shopkeeper looked at Qian Biao with hope.
Qian Biao smiled slightly, "Let's talk about it when you leave!"
The shopkeeper’s great joy, this is a door!
"Shopkeeper, go and stare at the back. Governor Qian and his group have been working hard for a long journey. You have to prepare hot water and dinner, and it will start early." Jiang He waved his hand and said.
The shopkeeper agreed to go happily. Jianghe took Qian Biao and his party to the upper floor.
"Governor Qian, Fuyuan only welcomes your Hunan delegation during the conference." Jianghedao: "You are the only one living on the third floor, and there is also a special reception room. During this period, other guests are expected to visit you. On the second floor, there are other delegation members living on one room, two people living on the second floor. At the same time, there is a large conference room on the second floor, which facilitates the entire delegation to discuss matters together. On the first floor are security personnel and logistics service personnel living on the first floor, so I live on the first floor."
While talking, the waiters in the inn had already begun to arrange other personnel to check in, while Jiang He led Qian Biao to the third floor.
Unlike the simplicity of the second floor, the decoration of the third floor is obviously about to be on a large stairs. The aisle is covered with thick carpets, and it is silent on it.
"Governor Qian, this is a suite, the inner room is your bedroom, the outer room is your guard, and the next door is your reception room." Jiang He bowed slightly: "I won't disturb you. I'll invite you again at dinner. Tomorrow I will arrange for you to visit some newly opened new factories, as well as Chang'an University of Political Science and Economics and other places."
Qian Biao took a deep breath and said, "Dr. Jiang, when will I be able to pay homage to Li Xiang?"
Jiang He smiled and said, "After every delegation enters Beijing, we will report it to the Secretary-General. When we can see Li Xiang, we can only wait for the Secretary-General's notice."
"I understand." Qian Biao nodded.
I'm afraid it's not my turn all of a sudden. After all, my name is not true. Although it is the front line of defending the enemy, the two sides are at peace at the moment. There is really nothing impatient to let Li Ze see him first.
"Chang'an is not comparable to Wuyi now. Although the curfew has been lifted at night, there is really no place to see. The Business Department of the Ministry of Revenue repairs houses everywhere, making it a mess." Jiang He smiled and said, "If Governor Qian wants to relieve his fatigue, there is a place to go. That is, Zhuyuan, which just opened a new store in Chang'an, they made a big deal. They found Taichang Temple to buy all the palace maids and musicians in the palace who were good at singing and dancing. In Zhuyuan, they can enjoy the authentic colorful dress dance, Qin Wang's Breaking Formation Music and other large-scale singing and dancing. However, the consumption of the Governor must pay for it yourself."
Qian Biao was stunned and came to his senses for a while: "The palace maids and musicians in the palace?"
Jiang He smiled: "His Majesty the Emperor is diligent and frugal. He thinks these things are too expensive, so he has to take them away. However, these people are used to staying in the palace and don't know what to do when they go out. So, Zhuyuan spent a sum of money and took over them all. But don't get me wrong. The new law of the Tang Dynasty clearly stipulates that the Tang people will never be slaves. So, after Zhuyuan took them down, they all signed employment contracts with them, which are once every five years. During the contract period, there is a salary to get. If the contract expires, you can stay and stay at your own expense."
"Since that's the case, why does Zhuyuan have to spend a lot of money? With their reputation, and this is to share the worries of His Majesty for Li Xiang!" Qian Biao said.
Jiang He smiled and said, "Because several families want it! Since everyone is fighting, they naturally have to talk with money. Whoever pays more money will be the one who will not want to take down these people? Especially the authentic Qin King Breaking the Formation Music, I wonder how many people want to see it!"
Qian Biao immediately realized that Xiang Li, isn’t he a descendant of the Qin King?
"After eating tonight, I will also take our Hunan representatives to open our eyes." Qian Biao immediately said: "I pay out of my own pocket. I treat you. Doctor Jiang must be pleased with me."
"I can't ask for it!" Jiang He smiled and said, "Then I'll contact Zhuyuan now and think of a way. Usually, I have to make reservations when I go to Zhuyuan. Especially this period of time, it's even more intimidating."
During dinner, Jianghe hurried back. Ten silver dollars a ticket made Qian Biao very shocked. Although he spent more than 200 guan at once, it didn't matter. Compared to being able to show his face in a place like Zhuyuan, 200 guan was still cheap. Jianghe looked young, but it was obviously unusual.
"I'm very lucky. Tonight, a business group from Zhejiang is willing to give us the ticket. Governor Qian, this favor must be returned to you, and I can't repay this favor." Jiang He smiled and said, "The president of the business group left a ticket for him, saying that he wanted to pay a visit to you, Governor."
Qian Biao smiled and said, "Zhejiang is rich, and I can't even ask for these storied figures in the business world."
After going downstairs, Jianghe arranged for everyone to sit down, eight people at a table, even Qian Biao was the same, sitting with everyone at the Eight Immortals table.
"Eight dishes and one soup are very simple, so everyone should give it up!" Jiang Hetuan bowed: "But the official reminder, you should go to Zhuyuan tonight, so you don't have to eat too much. There are exquisite meals and snacks there, all included in the fare. We have to keep our stomachs and go where to eat."
Everyone responded with a loud bang.
In Yueyang, a silver dollar can make a good banquet. Here, a ticket for entry costs ten silver dollars. I will have to take a look at what is particularly strange.
As Jianghe said, dinner is indeed simple, with eight dishes and one soup, four meat and four vegetables, no wine, and the rice is full.
Of course, everyone didn't care about food, and Qian Biao was even more so. He cared more about talking to Jianghe and learning more about the situation in Chang'an.
Jiang He didn't agree with what he wanted, and talked freely. After asking carefully, he learned that the doctor in front of him was a student of Chang'an Political and Economics College, and studied under Zhang Hui. This time, he was specially transferred to the Ministry of Rites for the Yixing Society Congress, and temporarily appointed a seventh-rank doctor. When the conference was over, he still had to go back to study.
This is not ordinary.
