When Song Zhong, the envoy of Jinyiwei North Town, came with several of his men.
On the bank of Qinhuai River, there is Ping An Tea House.
"Boss, this is unbelievable. All the breakfast we prepared have been sold out, and there is nothing left."
"Yesterday, my boss told me to be more prepared. I was still a little worried. Now it seems that my boss is really good at predicting things."
Uncle Zhang said excitedly, almost no longer available under the teahouse.
But the teahouse hall was empty of seats.
Uncle Zhang had no choice but to invite the storyteller to the stage early.
Compared with the hot breakfast business, the storytelling and tea drinking business seems much duller, but the popularity of the restaurant is still there.
Therefore, many people are very curious about this newly opened teahouse, and they also stay with this in mind.
"Has the accounting office calculated today's income?" Zhu Ying asked.
"Not yet, mainly because there are still many people ordering food downstairs. It seems that our current servants may not be enough."
"Currently, the accounting office is still registering its residence, and now more and more noble families have begun to arrange for people to come over to order breakfast. Boss, I am a little worried that the delivery will not be delivered."
Uncle Zhang said with some worry.
Takeout has appeared very early on, but it was the exclusive preserve of wealthy families.
The delivery fee is much higher than that of later generations.
Even some boys running errands can get a wave of rewards if they occasionally meet their hosts who are in a good mood.
"If you don't have enough people, just hire them. Don't be afraid of too many people. We have many categories. When the time comes, let the chefs come up with a few matching set meals and give you a discount on the price."
"The good ones from the Xungui family just have face. If they give enough face, they will naturally not do anything wrong."
Zhu Ying gave detailed instructions.
It is said that food is the most important thing for the people, and China's food culture has begun to flourish since the early days of civilization.
Don't underestimate the food aspect, if Zhu Ying or the cooks below want to go to the palace and become an official.
There is no problem at all in going to Guanglu Temple to work as a boss with good food.
In later generations, he would be a serious civil servant. If he was lucky, the emperor would be happy, and he might be rewarded with a title.
"Yes, boss."
After hearing this, Uncle Zhang happily made arrangements.
In Uncle Zhang's opinion, the money came much faster. In just two hours, the tea house's income today was estimated to be about ten taels of silver.
It feels like earning money is much faster than working hard in the grasslands and the Western Regions.
At this moment, Uncle Zhang, including those who followed Zhu Ying, immediately fell in love with the capital of the Ming Dynasty.
........
Daming Palace, Huagai Hall.
Huagai Hall is behind Fengtian Hall and in front of Jinshen Hall.
Compared with the other two halls, this place is much smaller.
Its function is equivalent to Zhu Yuanzhang's imperial study room.
Usually after the morning court, Zhu Yuanzhang still had to continue working, discussing political affairs with many important ministers, including palace bachelors.
At this moment, Zhu Yuanzhang and Zhu Yunwen were the only two people in the Huagai Palace, and all the palace maids and eunuchs around them were screened away.
"Tell Grandpa what you thought when you heard your fourth uncle's words in the hall just now."
Zhu Yuanzhang said gently.
Currently, Zhu Yuanzhang is quite satisfied with his grandson Yunwen, and what impresses him most is his filial piety.
Zhu Yunwen is very similar to Zhu Biao, with a generous nature. When Prince Zhu Biao was seriously ill, Zhu Yunwen stayed by his bedside for several months. He was getting thinner and thinner, and his filial piety was touching.
In fact, on the second day after Zhu Biao passed away, Zhu Yuanzhang also summoned many important ministers at Donggemen to discuss the position of the crown prince.
At that time, he proposed: "The fourth child, Zhu Di, is very similar to us. What do you think of establishing the fourth child?"
No one dared to say anything about this important matter of establishing a heir apparent. If he said it right, he would be fine, but if he said it wrong, he would be punished by death.
Only Liu Sanwu stood up and said: "The emperor's grandson is now rich and he is the legitimate son. After his death, Sun Cheng is in charge of the rites. Now that King Yan is established, where will the two kings of Qin and Jin be placed?"
Liu Sanwu was a bachelor of Hanlin, and he was also an official. This was a person that even Zhu Yuanzhang dared to fight against.
Although Zhu Yuanzhang was known as a murderer, he did not kill indiscriminately. He was just discredited by many literati because he killed too many people because of corrupt officials.
The ultimate goal of most literati is to become an official. To be an official, you have to be greedy to some extent.
Zhu Yuanzhang killed corrupt officials so violently that naturally many people couldn't stand it.
In fact, although Zhu Yunwen did not participate in government affairs, he was supported by many civil servants.
After all, Zhu Di is very strong, very similar to Zhu Yuanzhang in character, and is also famous for killing corrupt officials in the vassal territory.
The ministers were afraid that after Zhu Yuanzhang left, there would be another Zhu Yuanzhang, and then the good days would never come to an end.
Now Zhu Yuanzhang is questioning Zhu Yunwen because he is worried that after his death, Zhu Yunwen's prestige will not be able to suppress his uncles who have heavy troops.
Then there was a drama of civil war.
After Zhu Yunwen heard this, he pondered for a moment and said:
"Reporting to Grandpa Huang, my grandson should first win his heart with virtue and restrain his behavior with etiquette. If it still doesn't work, cut off his vassal and change his territory. If it doesn't work in the end, we can only suppress it with a large army."
Hearing these words full of benevolence and righteousness, Zhu Yuanzhang was relatively pleased, but at the same time, a trace of undetectable regret flashed deep in his eyes.
In the previous sentence, he calls himself grandpa, which means that he wants his grandson Zhu Yunwen to call him grandpa like an ordinary person.
Regarding family ties, Zhu Yuanzhang, who was born as a commoner, valued family ties the most.
Just the word 'emperor' made Zhu Yuanzhang feel a little distant.
After all, he was not brought up by himself. If Xiongying's eldest grandson was still alive, he would definitely call us grandpa affectionately. '
Zhu Yuanzhang was suddenly absent-minded, and subconsciously thought of his eldest grandson who had been dead for ten years.
"Grandpa Huang, Grandpa Huang." Zhu Yunwen saw Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were a little dazed and shouted quickly.
Only then did Zhu Yuanzhang come back to his senses and said with a smile: "People are no longer useful when they are old. They always fall into memories accidentally."
Zhu Yunwen was relieved after hearing this.
If the position of the emperor's grandson has just been announced, but something goes wrong on the emperor's side before he can be canonized, the road ahead will not be easy.
However, it was also because Zhu Yuanzhang was absent-minded that he did not notice the trace of hatred flashing in his grandson Zhu Yunwen's eyes when he talked about his many uncles.
Facts have proved that after the death of Zhu Yuanzhang, the first thing Zhu Yunwen inherited was to cut down the vassal vassal.
And if it is the kind of direct and fatal reduction of vassalage.
"Get here first today. Get up early tomorrow and handle political affairs with us." Zhu Yuanzhang said.
Zhu Yunwen nodded and left.
Zhu Yuanzhang stayed alone in the Huagai Hall, looking sad.
"What's wrong with us recently? Why do we always think of our eldest grandson?"
"I'm really old. Maybe my eldest grandson misses us and calls for me to go over and accompany him."
"Xiongying, don't be anxious. Grandpa will come down to accompany you and grandma after he finishes handling the matters here."
"Grandpa will always be with you until then."
