Queen Ma looked at Lan Yu with a smile.
She could tell that the court's control of tobacco was inevitable.
According to Lan Yu, nobles recognize this kind of thing.
The common people follow blindly, and they will unconsciously follow whatever the nobles think is good.
Finally, if tobacco is purchased in large quantities, people will inevitably start growing tobacco.
The value that cash crops can create cannot be compared to that of grain.
If there is not enough food to feed people, the consequences will be absolutely astonishing.
"Lanyu, please continue talking!"
Seeing that Queen Ma was about to relent, Lan Yu hurriedly said: "My Lady, a responsible organization with official background must be set up for this tobacco!"
"I named him the Tobacco Department, which is responsible for the sale of tobacco."
"Whether it is the cultivation, purchase or sale of tobacco, it must be stamped by the Tobacco Department before it can be executed."
"If people grow and sell it privately, the court will punish local officials. What kind of tobacco protection is this?"
"In this way, officials are afraid of punishment, so they will naturally try their best to control the local people. If the people are prevented from planting, tobacco can be completely controlled by the court!"
Queen Ma nodded and signaled Lan Yu to continue.
Lan Yu said: "That boy Fang, oh no, I want to say..."
At this moment, Zhu Xiongying suddenly spoke and asked in a sweet voice: "Uncle, is the Fang boy you are talking about Fang Jingzhi's eldest brother?"
Lan Yu quickly shook her head and denied: "Emperor and grandson, my uncle didn't say anything about Mr. Fang, my uncle was talking about himself!"
What is his uncle like? The smart little Zhu still doesn't know.
He stuck out his tongue at Lan Yu: "Uncle, don't try to lie to me, I am Sun Wukong!"
Queen Ma was helpless when she saw this, but she glanced at Xiao Zhu in surprise: "Xiongying, have you seen this boy Fang?"
Little Zhu nodded and said seriously: "I've seen it before. Grandpa Huang took me to see it. My eldest brother is very handsome and smart, and he can also make delicious Hongwu Beggar's Chicken."
As he spoke, little Zhu raised his head and said, "Grandma Huang, the story of Sun Wukong I told you was told to me by my elder brother."
Lan Yu licked her lips, "What the hell is Hongwu's beggar's chicken? Why haven't we eaten it at the good son-in-law's place?"
This guy is hiding something secret from his father-in-law!
Not sincere at all!
Hearing this, Queen Ma narrowed her eyes slightly and couldn't help but become curious about Fang Jingzhi.
There are so many magical things about this kid.
His Majesty actually brought Zhu Xiongying to see him, so he must be very optimistic about this person.
And this person must also know the emperor's views on businessmen, so he persuaded Lan Yu to do this business with him.
In this way...
"Grandma Huang, if it's your eldest brother's business, Xiongying thinks you can do it!" Xiao Zhu said.
Queen Ma looked down at him and asked lovingly, "Why!"
Zhu Xiongying thought for a while and said: "Because the eldest brother said that he admires Grandpa Huang and likes Grandma Huang very much!"
"And the eldest brother said that although Sun Wukong is very powerful, he must be put under a tight spell, otherwise he cannot be released from the Five Fingers Mountain!"
"My grandson doesn't know what this means, but he thinks that what he said is right."
Empress Ma smiled and nodded: "Since the emperor and grandson think it can be done, then we can do it and have a look!"
Lan Yu immediately answered: "Yes, let's try it, let's try it!"
The job this guy gave us doesn’t look easy!
Your Majesty doesn’t seem like someone who is easy to fool!
What else should I say when I see Lan Yu.
Queen Ma stopped it with a smile.
Outside the private room, the old soldier knocked on the door and signaled that the food was ready and if it could be served.
Queen Ma nodded, and Xiao Zhu immediately shouted excitedly: "Grandpas, you can come in!"
The old soldier outside was almost frightened to his knees by this sound.
What is this, how dare you do this.
When the emperor's grandson calls him "Grandpa," my mother will die.
"Your Majesty, you can't do it, you can't do it!"
Zhu Xiongying looked at Queen Ma with some confusion.
Grandpa Huang once said that when you leave the palace, you should call your elders "grandpa" when you see them?
Queen Ma patted Xiao Zhu's head lovingly.
Looking outside, the frightened old pawn smiled and said, "Grandpa pawn, you can bear this call from the emperor and grandson."
"You were injured because of Daming, and you are the elders of the emperor's grandson!"
"Since the emperor's grandson is not wearing a crown, he is your junior, how can he not bear it!"
When several old soldiers heard this, they burst into tears again.
This heart has been completely conquered by Queen Ma.
I wish I could rush to the north now, fight for these old bones, and bring two Yuan Ren heads to the emperor and grandson for drinking.
Naturally, Xiao Xiao Zhu didn't know this terrifying idea. He looked at the hot pot curiously and asked Lan Yu how to eat it.
First, he made a bowl of dipping sauce for Queen Ma, then Sapphire's, and finally sat down at the table with his own small bowl of dipping sauce.
Queen Ma was naturally very satisfied with this filial act.
He tenderly took a chopstick of mutton for him.
Lan Yu knew that the opportunity had come and it was time to show off again.
Using the one-two-three-step method of scalding mutton that he learned from Fang Jingzhi, he successfully pretended to be a trick in front of Queen Ma.
Queen Ma chewed the mutton in her mouth and nodded with a smile.
He praised: "Yes, the mutton cooked in this way is indeed more tender."
"Lanyu, how much does a table of dishes like this cost?"
Lan Yu shook her head and said, "Your Majesty, how could I know?"
"Anyway, the tobacco I sent to various noble families some time ago was exchanged for copper coins. Well, the prince also gave a lot."
"The money I got was exchanged for this restaurant. It's up to them whether they make more or less."
"These old guys can't stay idle. It's better if they can earn a living, which is easier than working in the fields!"
Queen Ma nodded, glanced at Lan Yu in confusion, and then said: "The young man surnamed Fang gave you this method of opening a restaurant, right?"
Lan Yu was enjoying her meal and nodded subconsciously when she heard this: "Yes, she is our good daughter..."
After saying that, he immediately reacted and shook his head: "No, we came up with it ourselves, not the idea given by our good son-in-law!"
Queen Ma was speechless and didn't know what to say about Lan Yu.
This guy seems to be very smart, and sometimes he is cute and silly. You can say that he is really stupid, but he is also very smart.
You really can't see it, this idea is definitely not something you can come up with.
If you can think of it, you will use the income from your own fiefdom to subsidize these veterans.
But it’s all thanks to people like Lan Yu!
The Ming Dynasty is now in a difficult situation and cannot spend more money to provide for these miserable old soldiers until they die.
If this tobacco can really be...
Queen Ma made up her mind.
Even if His Majesty objects, it doesn't matter. For the sake of these old soldiers, I will be Your Majesty's master for once.
But to talk to Lan Yu, it would be better to go directly to the young man named Fang to talk.
Having made up her mind, Queen Ma said: "Lanyu, I have already made plans in my mind about this tobacco matter. I will give you an answer in a few days!"
Lan Yu quickly said yes.
After dinner, despite the obstruction of the old soldiers, Empress Ma paid the money and asked Zhu Xiongying to write a large Chinese character for "Yuanyanglou".
Looking at Queen Ma and the guards walking away, Lan Yu suddenly felt that something was wrong.
The direction Queen Ma is walking doesn't look like she's going back to the palace, right?
Why does it look like it's going to Dinghuai Gate!
