Good Lucky Restaurant, its name is very vulgar, but it is perfectly rude. It is the largest and most prosperous restaurant in Changzhu now. The reason is that Good Lucky Restaurant takes root here first and seizes the opportunity very accurately. In just one year, it has changed from a small restaurant with only five or six small dining tables to a three-story restaurant today.

The restaurant owner Kong Lianshun is also a legendary figure in the local area. He is a local. During the pre-Ming Dynasty, the Kong family was a famous landlord in Changzhu. He had a wealth of wealth and a thousand-land fertile land. His life was very relaxed and comfortable.

The drastic changes in life began when the Qi State reached an agreement between the Ming Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty. At that time, the vicious Qi Army was seriously implemented the three-light policy before leaving. They snatched away everything they could, burned them all, and killed them directly, causing Taoyuan County to suffer a great disaster. To this day, the population has not yet recovered to the level of the pre-Yue period.

It was at that time that Kong Lianshun's family was surrounded by Qi's army to Changning. These wealthy families could take away their wealth, but could not take away their land.

As an enemy country captured the people and went to a foreign country, money was no longer a thing of their own but a source of disaster. Even though Qi State at that time issued a series of policies to stabilize the people who had been plundered by the former, it still could not withstand people's greed.

So the Kong family quickly fell into decline. Compared with those who were already poor, who could always find a glimmer of life in despair and find their own way of survival, the Kong family was completely adapted to a new identity. The huge turning point in life quickly caused the former family to fall apart.

After suffering for several years in Qi, Kong Lianshun finally fled back to the territory of the Ming Dynasty with some people from Taoyuan County who fled. However, the past time has turned into falling flowers and water. Today's Ming Dynasty is no longer the country that Kong Lianshun remembers. Everything that the Kong family once owned in Changzhu County was lost. He could not even get back the land that originally belonged to his family, because he no longer had the corresponding certificates of land deeds.

During the reunification of the Ming Dynasty, whenever the county governor of the Ming Dynasty peacefully surrendered to the Ming Dynasty, the gentry and landlords under their rule sold their land to the court under the general environment of land reform, and then took some money to start their new life, and most of them devoted themselves to the business world. However, Kong Lianshun could not get the money because neither Taoyuan County nor the Ming officials in Changzhu did not recognize the account. At that time, the county governor of Taoyuan County was so poor that he was smoking. Not to mention that he had no money, even if he had money, the county magistrate Ben Kuan could not have taken out a large amount of money to redeem the land of the Kong family. When the Ming army entered Taoyuan County, it was already deserted and the land was all unowned.

The Ming County District of Changzhu allocated land, houses, livestock and tools to Kong Lianshun in accordance with regulations, but how could this former master farm?

However, he was a little brave enough to directly approach the Changzhu County Magistrate and asked that the things allocated to him be converted into silver and money. He didn't want land, he just wanted money.

The Changzhu County Magistrate refused because in Changzhu, there was too much land, but the money was really short of money. However, he couldn't help but cry, make a fuss and hang himself. In the end, he chose to settle things and give money. He was all his own people, and he really couldn't farm. He gave these things to him, and it was a mess.

Kong Lianshun, who had received the money, opened a small restaurant in Changzhu.

At that time, in Changzhu, there were not many people who could afford restaurants. The most important one was a type of person, the soldiers of the Ming Dynasty. Although Kong Lianshun could not farm, he was not short of business. In view of the fact that most of the soldiers stationed in Changzhu came from Shayang County and other places, a chef who could make Shayang cuisine was specially hired.

The army has been stationed outside for a long time, and the soldiers are naturally homesick. Having a restaurant that can taste the taste of their hometown naturally became the first choice for these soldiers when they are resting.

Kong Lianshun's good luck came to the restaurant and gradually became famous in Changzhu. The soldiers of the Ming Dynasty had very high salaries, so they naturally enjoyed money when using them. Over the years, Kong Lianshun made a lot of money.

A year ago, Kong Lianshun, who heard that the Ming Dynasty would negotiate with Daqi to sign a peace agreement, made a quick decision to borrow a large sum of money from the branch of the Ming Changlong Bank in the county town, and then built the current luxurious and grand Good Luck Lai New Restaurant.

Fate once again favored this former down-and-out young man. Soon after his restaurant construction, the two countries signed a peace agreement, and Changning County became a window for the opening of Daqi to the Ming Dynasty. Changzhu, a small town located on the border between the two countries, immediately became a place of storm.

The current Haoyunlai Restaurant is a signboard and a landmark building in the local area. Because there is only one three-story building in Changzhu, even the county government is just a small courtyard.

Good reputation and good location make good luck come to the restaurant. In Changzhu, even the Daxiangtian family of the restaurant and inn industry cannot compete with Kong Lianshun.

The loft of Good Luck is decorated in a luxurious manner by Kong Lianshun. He used this place as his usual resting place. Sitting in front of the attic window, looking through the glazed window at the crowd coming and going on the street below and the guests entering the hotel continuously. This is Kong Lianshun's biggest hobby.

With the renovation and upgrading of the restaurant, there were fewer soldiers from the Ming Dynasty who came the most diligently, because now the price of Haolui’s restaurant is that even if they have extremely high salaries, they feel that they can’t bear it. Only those officers will still come to visit. Now Haolui’s customers are basically merchants from the two countries gathered in Changzhu. Haolui’s restaurant not only has a downstairs hall, but also is divided into small rooms with excellent compartments and small rooms. For merchants with strong sense of business confidentiality, these small houses are the best negotiating places.

Today, Kong Lianshun was not sitting alone in the attic, but next to him, and there was another person sitting. If there was a senior official from the Daming Eagle Nest at this time, he would definitely be familiar with this person. He was the old opponent of the Daming Eagle Nest and a senior spy detective Qin Li of the Ghost of Qi Kingdom.

Qin Li had been in the Forbidden Yue activities before and participated in all the actions against the Ming Dynasty over the years. Although the results were basically in failure, it is undeniable that he also brought great trouble to the Ming Dynasty. For example, the barbarians he planned to go down the mountain at that time, once caused the Ming Dynasty, which had just been established, to face the dilemma of fighting on three sides, and the Ming Dynasty was in turmoil at that time.

"Shopkeeper Kong, business is booming." Qin Li smiled like a flower, looking at Kong Lianshun in front of him with satisfaction. This person is another masterpiece of him. Now it seems that the investment at that time was completely worth it.

Don’t underestimate a restaurant. Since ancient times, restaurants, brothels, inns have been the best places for spy detectives to collect information. Countless secrets are sometimes spoken inadvertently in the midst of drinking and chatting. The speaker is unintentional, and the listener is intentional. Some fragmentary words fall into the ears of those who are interested. After being integrated and proved, a very good piece of information can be finally formed.

"Mr. Qin, I believe you are satisfied with my job this year!" Kong Lianshun was afraid and disgusted with the man in front of him. Unfortunately, he knew that he would never get rid of the entanglement of the man in front of him in this life.

"Satisfied, very good. Not only am I satisfied, Lord Cao Hui and Lord Cao are also praised for your work!" Qin Li said with a smile: "Shopkeeper Kong, you have been promoted to lieutenant. If you take another step forward, you will be on par with me."

"I don't have such ambition below. Just want to be safe and sound." Kong Lianshun looked at the patrol troops wearing black clothes and wearing the word "An" embroidered on his arms, and suddenly shivered.

Qin Li followed his eyes and asked, "Is this the new Ye'an army of the Ming people?"

"Yes. It is out of the jurisdiction of the army and is under the management of the Ministry of Justice. Together with local constables, they constitute local security forces." Kong Lianshun.

"Mingguo's move this time is very big. Are there any new discoveries here?" Qin Li asked.

"Mr. Qin, the one I have the most contacts here are merchants. There may be a lot of business information, but when it comes to major affairs in the court, how much do you think these merchants can know?" Kong Lianshun asked back.

"No, no, no, you are wrong." Qin Li's head shook like a rattle: "Shopkeeper Kong, it seems that you don't understand the group of big merchants in the Ming Dynasty! They are different from my big merchants in Daqi, and they are also different from the merchants you reflected in the past. Master Cao Hui said that the Ming merchants have formed a political force that cannot be underestimated. They can have an influence on the policies of the Ming Dynasty, and they are also working towards this. Emperor Ming Qin Feng tried his best to kill the old wealthy family, but the new and wealthy families have begun to take shape. Don't underestimate the merchants in your restaurant, carefully investigate their background. Maybe a businessman you don't care about will be a chess piece placed on the surface of a wealthy merchant, and the information you get from them may be able to analyze what the Ming people want to do next."

"I understand, I will carefully collect information about this in the future." Kong Lianshun said dullly: "Master Qin, do you know that the Ming people have upgraded the Eagle Nest from the past to the Ministry of National Security. This is comparable to the six ministries. They have greater power and longer tentacles."
