Royal first lucky star

"Waste potatoes!" Pei Yun said.

The Queen Mother asked: "How can potatoes be wasted?"

Pei Yun explained: "If you can get potatoes, there will be lazy people, homeless people, and villains who will come to pick them up, eat them, throw them away, and grow them whatever you want, which is a waste of potatoes!"

After hearing this, the queen mother was amazed at Pei Yun's thoughts: "Yun'er, what you said is very reasonable!"

Pei Yun nodded: "Yeah!"

Emperor Longqing asked: "What do you say?"

Pei Yun said: "Let them spend money to buy it!"

The sixth princess who finally understood said: "Yes, buy it with money!"

Princess Seven followed and said, "One tael of silver!"

The Eighth Prince said: "One tael of silver!"

"Six seven eight, you just talk nonsense." The queen mother deliberately gave six princesses and three people a look.

The six princesses and the three fell silent.

Pei Yundao: "If you have no money, you can exchange grain. A catty of grain can be exchanged for a catty of potatoes."

The Empress Dowager looked at Emperor Longqing and said, "Emperor, what Yun'er said is feasible."

Emperor Longqing already understood what Pei Yun meant when he said that potatoes were wasted.

Distributing potatoes for free, inevitably some people who are not suitable for planting will get potatoes, eat them and throw them away, etc. It is indeed a waste of potatoes. If the threshold for distributing potatoes is raised, potatoes can be better sent to growers. Plant potatoes on the largest area, and the court can also earn some income.

wonderful!wonderful!

He didn't even think of this wonderful method, so he looked at Pei Yun with admiration involuntarily, and said: "I also think it's feasible!"

"Well, it's a good job!" Pei Yun answered.

The empress dowager thought about it later, she hugged Pei Yun and said, "Yun'er is really smart, not only can save potatoes, but also increase the court's income!"

Emperor Longqing nodded.

Pei Yundao: "I'm smart, I'll give my father some money back."

The Queen Mother said: "Yes."

"Father, you score half of my points!" Pei Yun looked at Emperor Longqing and said.

"Share, give you half?" Emperor Longqing asked with a twitching corner of his mouth.

"Well, I have an idea!" Pei Yun said.

The queen mother nodded: "That's right, it's half of Yun'er's score."

"I'll share half of it. I'm also in the potato business." Pei Yun said seriously.

"Are you in the potato business?" The Queen Mother and Emperor Longqing were surprised together.

"Uncle Li can't go out to sell potatoes in the future, so I will hire a cook to help me do business and earn money, so that the common people can earn money with a few dishes of potatoes." Other vendors followed suit, promoting the commercialization of potatoes.

"You really know how to think!" Emperor Longqing commented with a smile.

"Well, I want to earn money!" Pei Yun said.

Emperor Longqing had to admit that what Pei Yun said, whether it was wasting potatoes or doing potato business, was indeed very beneficial to the cultivation and development of potatoes. He said: "Okay, I will share half of the money you earn!"

Pei Yun said happily: "Thank you, father!"

Emperor Longqing smiled helplessly.

Pei Yun got into the arms of the queen mother.

Emperor Longqing chatted with the queen mother again, and then returned to the Hall of Wende to discuss with the ministers about distributing potatoes and express Pei Yun's thoughts.

Several ministers exclaimed wonderfully.

Emperor Longqing inexplicably felt a sense of pride as a father, and then he and his ministers drafted a distribution document for Tudou. Pei Yun also paid attention to Tudou's affairs, that is, he can't leave the palace now, and can't see the situation outside the palace.

Fortunately, Lao Li can still go out of the palace for the time being, so he waits for Lao Li's return in Ci'an Palace every day, and asks about the situation outside the palace.

Everything was about the same as what he had imagined. Although he and the six princesses were out of the palace for only four days, the effect of their tossing was very good.

In addition to Jinfu Tudou's continued fever, the owner of the steamed stuffed bun shop, Aunt Yao, Aunt Zhang, Uncle Wu, etc., are constantly spreading the public opinion on Tudou. With Zhang Chao's storytelling, Tudou spreads to ten and ten to hundreds. Now it is in the limelight. .

"Everyone in the market is talking about potatoes." Lao Li said.

Pei Yun nodded: "The potatoes are on fire."

"Isn't it, the person who is holding your book and telling the story."

"Zhang Chao." Pei Yun said his name.

"Yes, it's him." Lao Li said in a friendly manner, "Many people go to that Fulai restaurant to eat in order to listen to the book."

"Really?" Pei Yun was pleasantly surprised.

"Yes, Fulai Restaurant is full of people every day, the boss is very happy."

"Not bad." Pei Yun was very satisfied.

Lao Li continued: "That storyteller named Zhang Chao talks several times a day."

"That's going to make a lot of money, right?"

"It's for sure. I heard that his thatched hut was leaking. Now that he's going to rebuild the house, he's going to make a lot of money." Lao Li reconciled with his noodles, put them aside to wake up, and went to the side to wash his hands.

Pei Yun followed up and asked, "Then have you ever listened to books?"

Lao Li washed his hands and said: "No, but I heard the guests discuss the story of the heartbroken man, Qin Sanniang and the heartbroken brother. I'm busy by myself, so I didn't listen too much. Anyway, it's very popular now."

"Well, Uncle Li, if you work hard for a few more days, when I choose the right person to learn from you, you will not be out of the palace every day." Pei Yun said.

Old Li smiled and said, "Ninth Prince, you are being polite."

"Then you are busy, you go to the emperor's grandmother."

"Ninth Prince, walk slowly."

Pei Yun left from the small kitchen.

Walking in the courtyard of Ci'an Palace, just as he was thinking about how Zhang Chao could vividly describe what the book said, he suddenly heard an angry voice: "Pei Yun!"

Pei Yun turned his head and saw that it was Emperor Longqing, holding a stack of papers in his hand, judging by the thickness, it seemed to be a storybook or something.

"This, this, this." Emperor Longqing forgot the name of the book angrily, opened it and glanced at it and said, "Did you ask someone to write this "The Heartbroken Man and Pretty Lady"?"

Pei Yun opened his mouth a little.

"I see that you are getting more and more courageous!" Emperor Longqing was furious.

Seeing that Emperor Longqing was about to rush up to beat someone, Pei Yun immediately turned around and ran with short legs.

"Where are you going?" Emperor Longqing shouted.

"Grandmother! Grandmother! Father wants to beat me!" Pei Yun thumped and ran towards the Nuan Pavilion.

"Yun'er! Come back to me!" Emperor Longqing said in a low voice.

"Grandmother! Father wants to beat me!" Pei Yun sneaked into the Nuan Pavilion quickly.

Emperor Longqing followed angrily: "Stop for me!"

The Empress Dowager just woke up from her afternoon nap, she was sitting in front of the couch drinking water, when she heard a commotion outside, and immediately saw a small dumpling coming in, she didn't need to guess, she knew it was Pei Yun, but she was holding a teacup in her hand.

"Be careful, Empress Dowager." Nanny Liu quickly took the tea bowl.

The queen mother said: "Yun'er, be careful, it's scalding carefully."

"Grandmother, Father is going to beat me." Pei Yunang said with a small face.

"He dares!" The queen mother said subconsciously, and then asked: "Why did he beat you?"

"Because of the storybook." Pei Yun said.

"It seems that you were the one who wrote it!" Emperor Longqing stepped in. He also happened to be out of the palace to take a look at the situation of Tudou. He didn't expect a storyteller to be particularly famous. He listened curiously, and the more he listened, the more familiar it became. , so I asked someone to write out the book silently, which is similar to the cooker's diary compiled by Pei Yun before, with the addition of potato's non-sugar, and it turned out that it was really compiled by Pei Yun.

Pei Yingqi, Han Zhengming and the Sixth Princess, who were "summoned" by Pei Yun, walked in sleepily and greeted Emperor Longqing.

Emperor Longqing was furious and kept silent.

The queen mother stretched out her hand and said, "Get up."

Pei Yingqi and the other five stood aside obediently.

The queen mother asked: "What storybook?"

Emperor Longqing said: "Almost everyone knows the storytelling book in Fulai Restaurant."

The queen mother said casually: "It's good to know, it was originally to promote potatoes to get rich."

"Mother, do you know?" Emperor Longqing was surprised.

"I know, the queen mother asked Yun'er to do it."

Emperor Longqing asked, "Have you read the content?"

The queen mother asked: "Isn't it just a story about getting rich?"

"Then look at the title of the book first." Emperor Longqing suppressed his anger and handed over a stack of papers.

The queen mother took it over and read: ""The Heartbroken Man and Pretty Lady", also known as "One Woman Chooses Two Husbands", also known as "The Cook's Intestines Are Green", and also known as "The Temptation of the Sister-in-law"."

Every time he heard a name, Emperor Longqing's face turned black.

The six princesses and the three couldn't understand.

Pei Yingqi was a little embarrassed to hear that.

Han Zhengming suppressed his laughter.

The Queen Mother asked in surprise, "Who named this book?"

"Ask Pei Yun!" Emperor Longqing said.

Pei Yun raised his small face, and the information revealed in his clear eyes was - I took it.

The Empress Dowager was heartbroken, and then said: "It's quite good."

Emperor Longqing was stunned: "Mother, you..."

The six princesses and the three still couldn't understand.

Pei Yingqi didn't understand what was going on.

Han Zhengming lowered his head, feeling like he couldn't hold back his laughter.

The Empress Dowager also knew that Emperor Longqing wanted face very much, so she said: "Qi'er, take your younger siblings out to play."

Pei Yingqi left with Han Zhengming and Princess Six.

Seeing this, Pei Yun wanted to go out too.

"You are not allowed to go." Emperor Longqing said.

Pei Yun leaned obediently in the arms of the Queen Mother, thinking: "What can you do to me?"

But in the eyes of the Empress Dowager, it was the grandson who was wronged and sad, and immediately said: "Emperor, why are you so fierce?"

Emperor Longqing forced himself to be calm and said: "Mother, you don't know what he wrote in this book."

The Queen Mother really didn't know: "Tell me about it."

"Okay, let me say." Emperor Longqing said angrily: "Say, there is a fairy fruit in the sky called a potato, which fell in the world. A little prince in the world found it and gave the potato to the little prince of the palace. The little prince took it and played with it. , suddenly heard a voice behind the rockery."

"What noise?" asked the Queen Mother.

Emperor Longqing glanced at Pei Yun and said, "The chef is having an affair with the prince's concubine."

The Queen Mother was very surprised: "And then?"

Emperor Longqing felt that telling such a story would be demeaning, but he had to let the queen mother know, so he said: "The little son was so scared that the potato dropped, but he fell in love with the concubine."

The Queen Mother was surprised.

Emperor Longqing continued: "My concubine only has the cook in her heart. She pretended to seduce the young prince to keep the cook. The cook picked up the potatoes and said they were fairy fruits. He seduced the little maid everywhere, but no one paid him any attention. He threw the potatoes back home."

The Queen Mother instantly became interested: "And then?"

"Then his wife, Qin Sanniang, and her four children planted potatoes. Unexpectedly, the potatoes really grew. One potato grew three thousand catties."

The queen mother commented: "It's too exaggerated."

Emperor Longqing said: "Qin Sanniang thinks potatoes are delicious, so she encourages them to sell potatoes. When she finds out that the cook hooked up with the concubine of the palace, she made her belly bigger, so she reported on the cook, triggering a major corruption case."

The Queen Mother opened her eyes wide.

"The cook ran away, and Qin Sanniang took the children to seek refuge with the cook's brother Orion."

"Sell potatoes together?" asked the Queen Mother.

"Yes, I got rich. Qin Sanniang also married Orion. The two of them fought the earthquake together. One day, when Qin Sanniang was feeding the wild dogs with leftovers, she found a beggar who was robbing the wild dogs for food. Take a closer look." , it’s the cook, she beats the wild dogs away.”

The queen mother answered, "Give the leftovers to the cook?"

"Throw it away!" Emperor Longqing said through gritted teeth.

"Well done!" the Queen Mother praised.

Emperor Longqing looked at the Empress Dowager in disbelief: "Empress Mother, you—"

"It's a fabrication." The Queen Mother snapped.

"But man—"

"It's a fabrication!" The queen mother continued to rush.

"But now people say that the cook is Jin Yun's father." Pei Yun's aliases are Jin Yun and Wen Yun.

"It's a fabrication!" Pei Yun said.

"That's right, you have to fabricate the twists and turns to attract people." The Queen Mother really thinks that "The Temptation of the Sister-in-law" is very attractive, so she has to take a serious look at the book when she turns around, and now comfort Emperor Longqing, saying: "Look Potatoes are so booming now, everyone is scrambling to exchange two catties of grain for one catty of potatoes, and this is all thanks to Yun’er’s creation of public opinion.”

Emperor Longqing knew that Pei Yun had made great contributions, so he did not use his power to punish Pei Yun. He wanted to beat him up himself to relieve his anger, but Pei Yun ran away, and the Queen Mother protected him in every possible way.

"Besides, no one knows that Jin Yun and Wen Yun are Pei Yun, the Ninth Prince of Wei, and no one knows that you are a cook." The Queen Mother said.

"Yes." Pei Yun answered.

The Queen Mother continued: "Besides, what's the point of sacrificing your name for the common people? You care about the common people."

"That's right." Pei Yun said.

Emperor Longqing felt much more comfortable.

The Empress Dowager persuaded: "Turn back and fill the stomachs of the common people with potatoes. They will only thank the emperor for his kindness and praise you for being a good emperor."

"Yes!" Pei Yun answered.

Emperor Longqing felt much more comfortable.

The queen mother said: "Yun'er, quickly admit your mistake to your father."

Pei Yun whispered: "I stand in the arms of the imperial grandmother and admit my mistake."

The queen mother asked puzzledly, "Why?"

Pei Yun squeezed into the Empress Dowager's arms as it should, and said: "In the arms of the emperor's grandmother, the father would not dare to beat me Liao hard."

The queen mother smiled and protected Pei Yun: "You are a smart one."

"En." Pei Yun looked at Emperor Longqing.

The Queen Mother said: "Admit your mistake quickly."

"Father, I won't say it next time. My father is Fu Liao. I will give you a hand-to-hand hand. Don't be angry." Pei Yun stretched out his fleshy little hand: "Slap lightly, just one blow."
