Chapter 56 Bargaining with the Little Emperor Again
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) simply lay down on the ground.
The little emperor was furious.
"Master Xiao Jia, you can be regarded as a noble prince of the Qing Dynasty. Please pay attention to your image!"
"If your life is gone, why should you pay attention to your image?"
"Why are you dead? Did I force you?"
"Your Majesty, you want to test your minister's wisdom. You don't have to make fun of the lives of millions of people in Yangzhou... Your Majesty, you are a wise king through the ages. This is really unbecoming to you!"
"beauty?"
"It just doesn't mean handsome and suave, of course it means more wise and powerful..."
"Don't put such a high hat on me... Tell me, what conditions do you have to offer in exchange for me... Get up for me..."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) stood up from the ground, patted the dust, and said: "Your Majesty, Holy Ming... Everything in this world has its cause and effect, and if there is gain, there will be loss. Exchange is the best and most reliable relationship.
.I recently discovered that pirates are rampant along the southeastern coast and that all countries are not in power. I think this is because we do not pay attention to maritime affairs... Two of my apprentices have recently been fishing and catching shrimps at sea, but they are always bullied by some small foreign countries.
So in order to support these two idiot apprentices, I sincerely ask the emperor to approve the establishment of a navy."
"Tell the important point."
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) said in amusement: "That's right... that's right... there are treasures in the sea, and the sea fish alone is enough for all the people of the Qing Dynasty to eat for hundreds of years... To make a fortune, of course you must have force to protect...
…”
When it comes to "getting rich", the eyes of this precious jade (burning small stone) light up. Isn't your billions of wealth and your eldest wife's billions of wealth not enough?
It is better to be greedy for money than to be greedy for power.
Seeing the turn of events on the emperor's face, Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) immediately added: "I understand, but it's still the old rule. The boss named Huang accounts for 40%. There can't be more. If there are more, there will be no profit..."
The little emperor could only smile bitterly, "I'm sure. Later, you can report it to the Ministry of Personnel and the Ministry of War, and prepare a report. Now can you tell me your rescue plan?"
"I believe that the living habits of the people in Yangzhou need to change..."
"Are you going to eat dirt instead?"
"It's not necessary to eat local food. You can definitely eat fish and seafood from the sea. Of course, there is also some good rice, very, very good rice..."
"Have you already made a plan...to wait for me here?"
"Isn't this also part of your plan, Your Majesty? Otherwise, why would you summon me to come?"
"Okay, that's it. I'm a little tired. Please step back first."
"I excuse myself."
After Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) retreated, the little emperor sat on the chair for a long time before he said: "Eunuch Liang, is there really so much wealth in the sea?"
"If our guess is correct, Mr. Jia still wants to find overseas fairy mountains... The art of immortality has always been infinitely tempting."
"My father-in-law knows this guy better. Father-in-law, I blew up my father's golden coffin... Without the golden coffin to gather the yin energy, will he really die?"
"It all depends on fate..."
In three days, the Yangzhou magistrate's office sold a total of 500 "promissory notes" for sea fish and seafood.
Each ticket costs ten thousand taels, which only wealthy families can afford.
The little emperor held a "promissory note" with a big seal's head on it, and said with emotion: "Little Jia still knows how to do business. Five hundred promissory notes will bring back five million taels of silver, even if it is nothing."
Those low-grade things were distributed to the people for free, and he still made a profit... Father-in-law, how do you think his head grew?"
In the eyes of the Manchu people, seafood and seafood are always inferior goods, and only the wild animals and delicacies are worthy of the banquet.
This may also be an important reason why they do not pay attention to the ocean.
Chef Li Dafu of Yangzhou's "Yi Yuan Lou" has long received news from his boss that he is only allowed to cook sea vegetables these two days.
If you don't know how, someone will teach you.
When Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) appeared in the kitchen wearing a white coat and a tall chef's hat, Li Dafu almost fainted.
You are a young and handsome boy wearing a kitchen hat that is one and a half feet tall. Are you kidding me?
Even if you are followed by people from the Yangzhou Magistrate's Office, I am not afraid of you... You also don't want to think about who is the big boss behind "Yiyuan Building"...
The boss of "Yi Yuan Lou" is of course Xue Baochai, the famous wealthy lady in the capital...
Wait a moment, something seems wrong... Who are you? Are you Jia Baoyu?
Are you the wealthy Marquis Jia Baoyu?
Oh my god... isn't this a flood that has washed away the Dragon King Temple?
You are the boss's boss. Even if you are wearing a chef's hat that is one and a half feet tall, even if you are wearing a chef's hat that is three feet tall, they will not care about you.
But is a place like the kitchen allowed for someone like you?
Li Dafu looked at Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) constantly throwing various grass roots, bark, and wolfberry into a big pot. What was he doing?
Is this making medicinal soup?
A five-foot big pot was placed in front of the gate of "Yiyuan Building", and various fish and shrimps were piled into a hill and placed on the long table. You can take it if you want to eat it. They are all prepared for the common people, just once.
There was a long queue at "Yiyuanlou".
Li Dafu tasted the fish and shrimp, especially the sea cucumber. It was really delicious after being boiled like this...
This is hot pot, seafood hot pot.
Within one day, the practice of eating hot pot became popular in Yangzhou City.
The magistrate of Yangzhou also boasted about Haikou, saying that there were endless seafood and sea fish... Officials know how to deceive people, where can I find it?
They also asked everyone to wait at the boat dock.
On the first day, no ship came, and on the second day, the ship still did not come. On the third day, the sun was almost setting, and there was still no movement of the ship.
While everyone was yelling and cursing, there was a commotion downstream...
As a huge sea horn sounded, and then a series of sea horns sounded throughout Yangzhou City.
There is really a large fleet coming in!
Moreover, the ships were more than thirty feet long, forming a huge long queue that was more than thirty miles long.
Xue Pan was the first to jump off. After nearly a year of cruel experience at sea, Xue Pan has become a strong man.
His dark face shone with confidence, and his eyes were as firm as two sharp swords.
Followed by Nian Tuyao who also looked like a nigger.
When relatives meet, they are extremely jealous.
Xue Pan and Nian Tuyao were hugged by Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) before they had time to kneel down.
"If someone bullies you, just fight back. You bitch, why are you complaining?"
"He... he is now my in-law, and my woman is pregnant... The doctor said the two boys were the ones who happened to marry two girls from their family, so I gave in to him..."
"Haha...this is your family matter...hahahaha..."
Unexpectedly, Nian Tuyao finally made the Japanese emperor's female singer. This is like a young cow eating old grass.
Xue Pan finally had a child, and the princess gave him twins, a son and two daughters.
Then came Nian Tuyao's rambling report.
Baoyu (Ran Xiaoshi) smiled as he watched baskets upon baskets of various wet and dry seafood being carried ashore and piled up into hills.
