Chapter 40 A lot of greed (1)

"Your Majesty, please have your meal!"

After the last minister, Ling Han, left, Bashan came in with someone carrying a tray.

"Well, put it there!" Zhu Yunxi continued to pick up the memorial.

The bastard looked at the emperor and rubbed his waist while reading the book. He couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty, slaves shouldn't talk too much. But..."

Hearing this, Zhu Yunxi turned his eyes and looked at the bastard in confusion.

"You have been eating from time to time in the past few years. Now you are young and you can still carry it, but what if a few years later..." The bastard said and lowered his head, "You have been sitting here for a whole day, and you will not

Move. I look at you, my slave. Your back and legs are sore now much more often than before. I dare not interrupt on state matters, but your body..."

After saying that, he looked at Zhu Yunxi and said seriously, "Your Majesty, your health is important, don't be tired!"

After all, he is the person who has been serving him for more than ten years. He is caring and shows his true feelings without any pretense.

"I know!" Zhu Yunxi put down the book, stood up, moved his hands and feet, and sat down at the dining table, "What are we going to eat today?"

"Fried meat with cucumber, fried eggs with chives, and a portion of sea rice and tofu soup!" The bastard quickly handed Zhu Yunxi his chopsticks.

Green melon is cucumber. Slice fresh cucumber and kill it with salt to squeeze out the water. Use a thin piece of pork belly to quickly stir-fry over high heat. Add some soy sauce for color. It is most refreshing and oily when eaten in winter.

Zhu Yunxi took a bite. It was crispy and fragrant. He took a mouthful of rice and said with a smile, "It's hard to buy cucumbers in the winter. Where do they come from?"

Guanglu Temple originally set up a greenhouse on the outskirts of Beijing to supply vegetables for the royal family in winter. The concubines in the palace had their own daily routine. If they didn't have enough food, they could send people outside to buy it.

But Zhu Yunxi knew the virtues of the people in Guanglu Temple. They had to get one silver dollar to grow vegetables for a penny. So he had already issued an order to abolish them. All the food, meat, vegetables, etc. in the palace were sold every day.

In the early morning, the palace guards and the chief eunuch went out to do shopping together.

"Back to the emperor, Mrs. Chengenhou sent someone to the palace this morning. Their family has opened a few pieces of land in the village on the outskirts of Beijing and found good crops to grow vegetables!" The bastard said with a smile, "You can try it.

Try the tofu soup, this tofu is not from our palace, it is ground by Mrs. Chengenhou’s house, using beans from Liaodong."

After saying that, he served Zhu Yunxi a bowl of sea rice and tofu soup.

The soup is milky white, the tofu is trembling, and the fine Shandong dried shrimps are round and plump.

"Well, not bad!" Zhu Yunxi took a sip and said with a smile, "The black soil of Liaodong can grow the best beans in the world."

While he was eating, a little eunuch carrying a message came to the door of Nuange.

"Your Majesty, Lord Guo, Lord Yu, and Marquis Cheng'en are here. They are waiting outside."

Zhu Yunxi soaked the rice in the soup and said, "Come in!"

After waiting for a while, Guo Ying came in front, Yu Tongyuan in the middle, and Zhao Sili came in behind.

"I will see you, Your Majesty!"

"Have you eaten yet?"

Zhu Yunxi said with a smile. The three of them were all wearing military uniforms. It looked like they had just come out of the military camp. However, the first two old marquises wore military uniforms with a chilling air of remaining in battle for the rest of their lives, while his father-in-law Zhao Sili wore military uniforms.

But it seemed like he couldn't hold it up.

Then, without waiting for them to speak, Zhu Yunxi said to the bastard, "There are so many dishes that I can't finish them all. Give some to the three of them!"

"yes!"

Zhu Yunxi made rice with soup and piled vegetables on it and ate it with big mouthfuls.

The same thing happened after Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan thanked each other. The warriors ate very quickly, and for a while there was the sound of grunting and eating in the hall. Only Zhao Sili seemed to be unable to let go and ate in small bites.

"Marquis Chengen, please eat more!" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile, "This cucumber was sent by your wife this morning!"

After hearing this, Zhao Sili stood up quickly, leaned over and smiled, "If the emperor eats well, I will let her deliver it to you tomorrow. There are many young and old in Zhuangzi. She means to open a shop to sell fresh vegetables. I think the imperial official is the official

It’s shameful to do business, so I might as well give some to my relatives and friends every day!”

"Is it not enough to open a shop when buying vegetables?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

"This is the front room of my family, so I don't have to pay rent," Zhao Sili said.

"There is a serious shortage of front-end apartments in Jingli. Why don't you rent them out?" Zhu Yunxi said with a smile.

"I don't dare...anyway, there is nothing missing at home. If you rent out the frontage, you have to send someone to take care of it..."

He really didn't dare. Although the emperor didn't say anything to him about the last time he ran a restaurant with Cao Guogong, he asked his daughter to call the couple into the palace and give him a scolding.

At this time, Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan had finished their meals, and each of them drank a bowl of soup.

"You came out of the camp just now?" Zhu Yunxi also put down his job and asked, "How was it?"

"After receiving the order, I immediately entered the camp and beat the drums to beat the generals!" Guo Ying said, "Everything is as usual!"

"I looked at the arsenal and found that there were no omissions!" Yu Tongyuan also said.

"I also issued a military order that the entire army must not leave the camp within three days."

"Firearms, campfires, cannons, etc., no live ammunition left!"

The two old men were veterans who had been fighting for their whole lives, and they talked about how everything in the military camp was in order.

"Too cautious!" Zhu Yunxi said, "That's not the case!"

The two old military marquises did not speak. Zhao Sili swallowed his saliva and said, "Um... I went to the Shuntian Mansion Yamen in the morning, and then summoned the city defense soldiers, horse division and other officials to inspect the gate of the cell..."

He has never been a high-ranking official in his life, and he does not have the aura of Guo Ying and others. Moreover, he is afraid that he will not be able to do his job well, and he is a little frightened.

"Don't be cautious, and don't be timid when it comes to errands!" Zhu Yunxi said, "The defense of the capital city is of great importance. Since I leave it to you, I trust you. If you don't understand something, these two veteran military princes can help you."

"I... am scared!" Zhao Sili was already sweating on his forehead.

He was entertaining his son at home, who would have thought that an imperial edict would suddenly come and give him such an errand. In his life, the biggest official role he had was just to catch some petty thefts in the market, and suddenly he was in charge of the defense of the capital. He was really in a hurry.

"There is nothing to be afraid of. No one is born to be an official!"

Zhu Yunxi's seemingly unintentional words made Guo Ying and Yu Tongyuan think deeply.

"It seems that Marquis Chengen is in charge of the city defense and is not trying to catch a duck. Your Majesty has made up his mind to use this person frequently in the future!"

Veteran military princes like them were quite polite to Zhao Sili on the face, but in their hearts they looked down upon such foreign relatives who were feudal lords.

I traded the prince for his head, and the prince of yours traded it for his daughter. The quality is different!

"I am using you for normal appointment and dismissal of official positions!" Zhu Yunxi said, setting the tone for the three princes, "It was what it was before and it is what it is now. Don't make people panic and gossip!"

As soon as they heard this, they understood that everything should go as usual.

"I obey the order!"

Zhu Yunxi looked at them and suddenly asked, "Has the military register been ordered?"

Guo Ying's heart skipped a beat, and she leaned forward and said, "I've ordered the generals first, but I haven't read the specific military registers yet."

"I remember that the military register of the Beijing camp is from the number of soldiers in the 26th anniversary of Hongwu!" Zhu Yunxi thought about it, "Wu Dinghou is an old military affairs officer. Since you are in charge of the Beijing camp now, count the military register again and report the number of soldiers.

Ministry of War, please repay us with real results!"

"I owe you, idiot Cao, and I have to wipe your ass again!"

Guo Ying cursed secretly in his mind, stood up and said, "Old minister, I obey the order!"
