"The prefect said that we women can hold up half the sky!" The waitress said with admiration: "If I hadn't been married, I would have married the prefect no matter what!"
Women can also hold up half the sky! !
Zhu Yuanzhang was greatly shocked.
Queen Ma's eyes lit up, full of relief.
In shock, Zhu Yuanzhang sat on the edge of the fourth floor. He only had to turn his head to admire the blockade outside the window. Looking down, he could have a panoramic view of the entire food street and beyond.
The dining environment is really good.
"I wonder who the owner of this grilled fish restaurant is? It's quite innovative." Queen Ma said in a good mood.
"No matter who it is, it must be related to Ouyang Lun." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.
It happened that at this time, several people at the next table were chatting.
"Let me tell you, the owner of this grilled fish restaurant is amazing!"
"Oh! What's so weird?"
"Who is the founder of grilled fish? Do you know it?"
"Our Lord Prefect! Who doesn't know this?"
"The owner of this grilled fish shop is the eldest disciple of the prefect! He was the first to learn how to cook grilled fish from the prefect!"
"I also know that he originally opened a fried chicken restaurant, but for some unknown reason, the fried chicken restaurant was confiscated by the government and he was arrested and sent to a labor camp for a period of time. Later, he came back and opened this grilled fish restaurant. This year he officially took over It’s called Royal Grilled Fish!”
"I heard that it has opened a hundred branches and was successfully listed on the stock exchange. Do you know how much Royal Grilled Fish is worth now?"
"How many?"
"150 cents per share, total value 150 million!"
"Good boy, you are a millionaire!"
"It is said that on the day of listing, the prefect even went to help with the platform. He directly bought 40 shares and cashed out 60 taels of silver!"
"Six hundred thousand taels. That's a mountain of silver!"
Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang felt more and more that the boss of the Royal Grilled Fish looked like the same person.
While Zhu Yuanzhang was thinking, the waitress brought up a plate of grilled fish and said, "Sir, this is the spicy grilled fish you ordered. Please eat it slowly."
Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "Is your boss here?"
"Here I am."
"Go and ask your boss to come over."
"Sir, if there is anything wrong with the taste of this grilled fish, I can help you solve it."
"It has nothing to do with the taste of grilled fish. I just want to meet your boss. If you tell him my surname is Zhu, he will know."
"Ok."
The waitress hurriedly ran to call someone.
After a while, Mao Xiang, led by the waitress, hurried over. After seeing Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma, he was dumbfounded.
“Boss Bizhu!!”
Mao Xiang quickly took two steps closer, clasped his fists and said softly: "Your Majesty, Mao Xiang, pays homage to Your Majesty and the Queen!"
"Your Majesty and the Queen are here, but I was unable to welcome you from afar. Please forgive me for your Majesty and the Queen!"
Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Mao Xiang and said calmly: "The legendary businessman of the Ming Dynasty, the disciple of the founder of grilled fish, and the owner of the royal grilled fish restaurant, please take a seat."
"I don't dare." Mao Xiang said in fear.
"You are quite courageous. Sit down." Zhu Yuanzhang said without doubt.
"Your Majesty has something to ask you. Don't panic. Sit down as soon as you are asked." Queen Ma said softly.
"I obey." Mao Xiang dared to sit down only after this. "Let me ask you, are you the one who cooks this royal grilled fish?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked solemnly.
Mao Xiang nodded first.
"Did you make a lot of money?" Zhu Yuanzhang asked.
Mao Xiang nodded again, "I've made some money. After excluding costs, one hundred stores across the country can earn about 10 taels of silver every month."
"But Your Majesty, these wealthy ministers have all invested in the construction of Jinyiwei, and the ministers and the brothers of Jinyiwei have never slacked off. They have done everything they need to collect information and do everything they need to do!"
"Making money is just a casual thing."
puff--
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang almost spit out the water he just drank.
Make money by the way, one hundred thousand! That's easy to say.
"I heard that the Royal Grilled Fish is now on the market? You've made a lot of money from it, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang said solemnly.
Mao Xiang said quickly: "Your Majesty, the Royal Grilled Fish was listed last month. 40 shares were sold and a profit of 60 taels was made. 40 of them belonged to the consort Ouyang Lun, and the remaining 20 were deposited by someone else." The 'Kaiping Silver Cabinet' is an account opened in the name of Zhu Laoba, and it is stamped with His Majesty's personal seal. Your Majesty only needs to return to the capital and go to the 'Kaiping Silver Cabinet Beijing Branch' in the capital to exchange it!"
"I have sent the deposit certificate to the capital together with the new memorial. I believe it will arrive in the capital by now."
After hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's expression softened, "So, this time the Royal Grilled Fish is on the market, Ouyang Lun earned 40, and I earned 20?"
"Yes, Your Majesty."
"That's about the same." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded. Although Ouyang Lun made a big profit, he still gained 20, which was better than watching Ouyang Lun make money.
This also convinced Zhu Yuanzhang that it was the right decision to temporarily give up conquering Yong'an Mansion and Ouyang Lun. If he could get 20 in income from time to time, it would be pretty good, and his internal funds would become more and more abundant.
Well, we still have to find a way to get more money from Ouyang Lun.
"Let's make [-] yuan a month. I'll hand over half of it, and the remaining half will be used as public expenses for your royal guards. Salaries and pensions will all come from this."
"Yes!" Mao Xiang didn't hide anything.
It’s good to be able to keep half of it. Besides, Royal Grilled Fish is still developing and making more and more money! After eating a meal of grilled fish, not only did he eat 20 silver, but he will also receive 80 silver every month from now on, with an annual income of up to [-] taels of silver. Moreover, these are not put into the national treasury, but into Zhu Yuanzhang's internal funds, and his mood instantly improves. alright!
Mao Xiang's eyes became more pleasing to the eye.
"Mao Xiang, let me ask you, apart from the development of Yong'an Mansion, what about other aspects? For example, Ouyang Lun's daily life and the daily life of officials at all levels in Yong'an Mansion? Do they bully the people and do random things?"
Zhu Yuanzhang continued to ask.
Mao Xiang shook his head, "Officials at all levels in Yong'an Prefecture do not bully the people or act recklessly. However, these officials often gamble in the Lucky Gambling House and live happily in heaven and earth. Apart from eating and sleeping, they spend about half of their time Soak in both places.”
Um! ?
Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes instantly darkened.
Mao Xiang continued: "Your Majesty, I have records here. I remember clearly when these officials went, when they left, and how much they spent."
After speaking, Mao Xiang handed over a booklet.
Zhu Yuanzhang looked over, his face became more and more gloomy, and he was trembling with anger!
"Yeah!"
"Is this the official atmosphere of Yong'an Mansion? There are actually officials from outside Yong'an Mansion here!"
"A group of collusion, a nest of snakes and rats, and a worm in the country!"
"Mao Xiang."
"The minister is here."
"Take my warrant and go to Funing Guard to mobilize troops. According to the list above, arrest every one of them!"
"Yes!"
