Daming: I asked you to hang yourself, but I didn’t ask you to rebuild the Ming Dynasty

Zhu Youjian smiled and touched the heads of his two daughters and said:

"It is the duty of the imperial court to let every common person have jelly to cool down."

“I hope that in my lifetime, I can see that no one in the Ming Dynasty is left without food.

When they can buy jelly to cool down without any scruples, this will be our highest pursuit! "

Fan Jingwen frequently should be.

The emperor's wish is not his wish!

……

After eating the jelly, Zhu Youjian picked up his little daughter and walked towards the river.

Laohekou is a town built on the edge of the Han River. Although a city wall has been built along this side of the river, there is still a busy street on the outside of the city wall.

Twenty docks are located at varying distances outside the city.

Although the sky has turned dark, the Qi Shifeng lanterns hung high up exude a soft light, illuminating the lights outside the city brilliantly.

Here and in the town, it is a completely different scene.

There was a sharp contrast between the shirtless Lifu who was waiting for the ship to dock and wanted to make money by unloading the cargo, and the shopkeepers and wealthy businessmen who were walking with their hands behind their backs, followed by a number of boys of varying numbers and dressed in beautiful and luxurious clothes.

Zhu Youjian and Fan Jingwen walked towards Zuimanlou together.

This restaurant was set up by Jin Yiwei.

Of course, this is the controller in the dark, but on the surface he is a wealthy businessman from the north.

"How many guests are invited in? Are you going to eat in the lobby or go to the private room upstairs?"

Without waiting for Zhu Youjian to reply, the boy quickly introduced:

"We're full of drunks. Even though it's a newly opened restaurant, our wine and food are excellent. Whether it's delicacies from all over the world or delicacies from heaven and earth, we have them all here!"

“If guests want to feel the atmosphere of the city, dining here is the best choice for them.

If guests want to be quiet, the private seats on the third floor can isolate you from all the noise.

If you want to feel the atmosphere of the market but don't want to be disturbed by others, there are railing seats on the second floor, which will just meet your needs. "

The waiter spoke quickly and urgently, with a typical Guanghua accent.

Fan Jingwen looked at Zhu Youjian.

Zhu Youjian smiled slightly: "On the second floor."

"Okay! Please come over to the private seats on the second floor!"

The waiter extended his hand and invited the group of people to go up to the second floor.

Walking on the stairs, Zhu Youjian looked around and saw that the huge eighteen-bay restaurant was already full.

This shows the huge flow of passengers in Zuimanlou.

The layout of this restaurant was designed by Zhu Youjian himself.

Uncharacteristically, he used a huge screen to separate the entrance of the restaurant from the lobby.

In this way, the diners who come to eat will not be able to see the guests when they first enter Zuimanlou, and the guests who are eating will not be disturbed by things on the road in front of the door.

This unconventional design, coupled with unique ingredients and various dishes, made Zuimanlou quickly become famous.

This is a stronghold for Jinyiwei to collect intelligence.

In fact, the matter of opening a shop to collect intelligence is not unfamiliar to the Ming Dynasty's intelligence department.

For example, in the capital, Jinyiwei and Dongchang opened many kinds of shops, and even printing workshops.

These places where the three religions and nine streams gather together are one of the most important sources of intelligence for Jinyiwei and Dongchang.

After all, a few rumors among the public are often the truth of the matter!

……

The group of people went up to the second floor and saw that the second floor surrounded Zuimanlou with a huge patio in the middle.

Walls separate the railing seats into fan shapes. If you are on this side of the patio and really lean on the railings, you can hear the chatter of the diners in the lobby. If you open the outside windows, you can overlook the market and the river.

The layout is very clever.

The third floor is completely covered with flooring, leaving only three openings for stairs up and down.

From the outside, Zuimanlou has a triple eaves design, dark blue glazed tiles, and red lanterns hanging everywhere, making this restaurant look very majestic.

The design of the three-story restaurant made everyone think that it was just a three-story building.

Actually it is not.

The five-foot-high Zuiman Building has two floors above the three-story restaurant. The fourth floor is where Jinyiwei spies report back information, and the fourth floor is a sentry tower that looks out over the river and is also where intelligence is processed. center.

At the same time, once there is any abnormal movement on the river, the masters of the Jinyiwei can open the roof of the top floor, stand on it, light the smoke and fire the muskets to warn Guanghua County.

……

"Sir, this is our menu. You can choose your own dishes, or the chef can give you our menu for you to choose from."

The waiter took out a stack of menus placed on the flower stand and placed them one by one in front of Zhu Youjian and his party.

Zhu Youjian patted his little daughter who was lying by the window and looking curiously at the market, and asked:

"Ni, what do you want to eat?"

Zhu Yini, who was attracted by the lively crowd in the market, immediately turned her attention back when her father asked her what she was eating.

"Suck it~!"

The little guy drooled. She sucked hard and sucked the saliva on her red lips back into her mouth.

The big dark eyes suddenly brightened:

"I want to eat chicken drumsticks, stewed chicken drumsticks, suck it~ it's so delicious! suck it~~"

Zhu Yini's actions made everyone laugh.

Even Zhu Ainao, who was sitting calmly aside, couldn't help but smile.

"Okay, okay, here's a plate of chicken legs, stew them a little bit mushy."

Zhu Youjian gave instructions to the waiter.

The waiter nodded hurriedly and wrote it down carefully.

"媺娖, what about you? What are you eating?"

Zhu Youjian looked at Princess Kunxing again.

Zhu Ainao sat quietly and pursed her lips slightly when she heard this and smiled: "Father can order whatever he wants. Ainao is not picky about food."

The life she lives now is something she never dared to imagine in her 16-year-old life.

Ever since his father ascended the throne, the Ming Dynasty has been in many troubles. For the sake of the country, his father kept cutting back on the harem's funds.

Since the year before last, the Ming Dynasty Palace has almost stopped eating meat and fish...

March.

The intruders surrounded the capital. She saw her father wasting away day by day, and her mother sighed, but she could not relieve the worries of her father, the emperor, and her mother.

The intruders' offensive is getting more and more urgent, but the officials of the court are disloyal.

The queen mother told her that as long as the imperial city could not be defended, she would take her to commit suicide to avoid falling into the hands of bandits.

Unexpectedly, just when the outer city fell and Zhu Nuao was determined to die, her father actually flew out of the capital with her!

In the days that followed, even though her father left her in the care of Mr. Fan, even though she was wandering around the world and worrying about government affairs every day, her life was actually much better than that in the palace.
