Daming: I can’t kill such a greedy prince-in-law?

Chapter 357: Queen’s Restaurant, Zhu Yuanzhang eats rice bowl (please subscribe!!)

Zhu Yuanzhang finally couldn't help but go to Queen Ma.

"Chongpachi, why do you have time to come to my place? Have all the government affairs between the DPRK and China been handled?"

When Queen Ma saw Zhu Yuanzhang, she immediately asked.

Zhu Yuanzhang waved his hand, "I have already taken care of the affairs in the court. I came here just to see what kind of women's and children's society you have set up!"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang added, "I heard that you are doing very actively! You don't even have time to find me."

Hearing Zhu Yuanzhang's sour words, Empress Ma also realized something, and immediately smiled and said: "Chongba, do you miss me?"

"Ahem, I am the emperor. Why do I miss you? Besides, we are an old married couple. If you have anything to think about, I will come and see. I am afraid that you will be deceived by that guy Ouyang Lun!" Zhu Yuanzhang hurriedly said Said: "That boy Ouyang Lun is very scheming and can easily be deceived!"

"Last time, Ji Gang fell into that kid's trap and spent a hundred thousand yuan on a trip to the clan mansion!"

"If he dares to fool you this time, I will have to destroy him!"

Empress Ma smiled slightly and said, "Chongba, it's my fault during this period. I have been busy with the preparations for the women's and children's society and training, and I have forgotten where you are."

"Actually, things have been sorted out a lot recently. Ning Guo and the others are gradually getting started, and I have some free time. Even if you don't come to me, I will come to you."

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to give himself a slap in the face and tell you to come here in a hurry. If he waited a little longer, he might be able to wait until Queen Ma came over, so he wouldn't have to be embarrassed here.

But there is no regret medicine in the world. Even if he comes, Zhu Yuanzhang can't just leave.

"Ahem, it's the same for me!"

"Just say what you want to say!"

Zhu Yuanzhang said awkwardly.

"Chongpachi, you came here so early, you probably haven't had lunch yet. Do you want to eat something?"

"Don't tell me, I'm really hungry." Zhu Yuanzhang touched his stomach and ate something in the morning. It was already noon and he hadn't had lunch yet. Deep down in his heart, he wanted to come to Queen Ma's place to have a meal. of.

"Okay, come with me!"

Empress Ma smiled and nodded, "Aren't we doing women's skills training recently? I'm not very good at other things, but cooking tastes pretty good, so I listened to that boy Ouyang's suggestion and opened a restaurant in Kunning Palace!"

"We can provide meals for the people in the palace! It will be opened soon. Please help me try the dishes!"

"Opening a restaurant in the palace??!"

Zhu Yuanzhang was stunned. He always felt that something was wrong, but he couldn't say it for a while.

"That's right, I actually had my own kitchen before, but I used to cook it for myself. At most, I would cook it for you when you came, Chongba, but now I have made some changes and remodeled the kitchen. , and also installed seats and some necessary decorations outside the kitchen.”

"In this way, a palace restaurant is formed. According to Ouyang's child, this is a private restaurant! It is very private. You can eat and chat!"

"The concubines and princesses in the harem can come to eat, and so can the maids and eunuchs."

Queen Ma said with a smile.

"Sister, your majestic Empress Ming became a cook. Wouldn't this be a bit embarrassing?" Zhu Yuanzhang finally felt that something was wrong.

The Queen opens a restaurant, which makes people laugh even if she says it.

How can a queen cook for others to eat?

"Chongpachi, first of all, I am just conducting an interview in the palace. The main purpose is to set an example for the concubines, princesses and maids, telling them that women can also support themselves with their own hands and do not necessarily have to rely on men!"

Queen Ma explained.

"You all have a salary, and the same goes for the palace maids. Just do your own thing well. There is no need to open a restaurant, right?" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned.

Regarding Zhu Yuanzhang's doubts, Queen Ma was not angry, but said patiently: "I, the concubines and the princess in the palace do have a salary, but if you think about it carefully, our contribution to the entire country is not much. In addition to managing the harem, I , I didn’t do anything else, how can I honor the world?"

"So I am now organizing the Ming Women's and Children's Society to provide help to all women and children in the Ming Dynasty. Someone has said that children are the future of the country. If these children know that their emperor loves and protects them from an early age, will he protect them when they grow up? Defending our country? Be loyal to you, the emperor?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes lit up, "Sister, what you said is so good! Children are the future of the country. As long as the children support the Ming Dynasty, the country of the Ming Dynasty will naturally be eternal! Is the person who said this so qualified? I don't know who it is. An expert? We have never heard of it. If this expert is still alive, we must ask him to come out and contribute to the Ming Dynasty!"

puff-

Seeing Zhu Yuanzhang's solemn inquiry, Empress Ma couldn't help laughing.

"Sister, why are you laughing?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked puzzled.

"Chongba, the person who said this is none other than your fourth son-in-law, that boy Ouyang."

"Well" when Zhu Yuanzhang heard what Ouyang Lun said, his face suddenly froze and he couldn't laugh anymore, "Huh, it's just nice to say it. This Ouyang Lun is at the same level as Zhao Kuo at most, just talking on paper!!"

Empress Ma did not continue to argue with Zhu Yuanzhang on this topic. She knew very well that Ouyang Lun and Zhu Yuanzhang, the father-in-law and son-in-law, despised each other now. It was more difficult for Zhu Yuanzhang to admit that Ouyang Lun was excellent than to kill him.

"Chongba, that kid from Ouyang also said that women in the Ming Dynasty can hold up half the sky. The power of women is far from being discovered yet. Women can not only care for their husbands and raise children, but they can also do many things, such as doing business, breeding, and engaging in all walks of life. , even joining the army! Joining politics!”

"If women's energy can be fully utilized, the Ming Dynasty will develop faster, and the prosperous age of prosperity you are looking forward to will come earlier! Isn't this what you want to realize and see the most?"

Hearing this, Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought.

There is no doubt that Queen Ma's words made Zhu Yuanzhang begin to re-examine women as a group. As the founding emperor who was born with mud legs, Zhu Yuanzhang's inherent thinking about women is to support their husbands and raise children, and nothing else. However, Empress Ma made Zhu Yuanzhang change this idea, because Zhu Yuanzhang knew very well that his woman, Empress Ma, was very capable. A woman who can handle both the hall and the kitchen has never made a mistake in managing the harem for so many years!

Even if Zhu Yuanzhang does this, there is no guarantee that he can do it better than Queen Ma!

And the food cooked by Queen Ma is indeed delicious. If she hadn't become a queen, she would have no problem opening a restaurant in any town.

It was the example set by Queen Ma that made Zhu Yuanzhang more receptive to new ideas.

Of course, the most important point to convince Zhu Yuanzhang is that women can do things like men and have more choices, which is equivalent to doubling the working population of the Ming Dynasty. It is foreseeable that all walks of life in the Ming Dynasty will usher in a new era. The bigger the development, the more money you make!

The national treasury will become richer and richer, the people's wallets will become richer and richer, and the prosperous age of Hongwu will be within reach.

Thinking of this, Zhu Yuanzhang decided not to object for the time being, and then look at the results of Empress Ma and Ouyang Lun.

"Sister, since you said so, let's not object for now. However, it's okay to let women do business, farm, or study. But joining the army or politics, isn't it too urgent?"

"The civil and military officials will definitely have their opinions when the time comes."

Seeing that Zhu Yuanzhang no longer objected, Empress Ma also smiled with relief and continued: "Chongba, that kid Ouyang also said that if I take too big a step, it's easy to pull my balls, so I won't change so much as soon as I come up. I'm still the same now." We will focus on training key members, and once we have enough manpower, I plan to send them to other provinces of the Ming Dynasty to form provincial women's and children's societies!"

"Specially provide help to local women and children, and gradually change other people's traditional concepts. As long as we persist, women joining the military and politics will not be an empty talk!"

"And if women are allowed to join the military or politics, not all civil and military officials in the court would dare to oppose it!"

"Well, it is true that many of our officials are henpecked." Zhu Yuanzhang said angrily: "Ouyang Lun said again, how come he is everywhere!"

"Chongba, this boy Ouyang is quite right. Liberating the women of the Ming Dynasty is definitely a major event, which is beneficial to the country and the people. Don't let your personal emotions affect your judgment." Empress Ma comforted her.

"Hmph, if he hadn't done a lot for Ming Dynasty, I would have captured him long ago. But I heard that since Anqing became pregnant, this boy seems to have become a different person. He no longer catches fish and stays with Anqing every day. Around me, this guy has some conscience." Zhu Yuanzhang muttered.

"Chongba, when it comes to this matter, I have to remind you that An Qing is pregnant with Ouyang's child, but he is also Zhu Chongba's grandson. You should go and take a look when you have time. If it weren't for the showdown between you and Ouyang, you two Who are you still sitting and drinking together? And during this period, Ouyang Lun helped you discipline your son and grandson, reform the clan, and solved the case of Chongning's murder. How many messes did he help you clean up? Yu Gongyu Privately, you should go and see it too!”

After hearing what Empress Ma said, Zhu Yuanzhang was very depressed, "That boy helped me discipline my son and grandson, but he slapped the third son in the face in public, kicked Yun Wen, and scolded my prince and grandson like a grandson. I didn't kill him." It’s okay if you kill him!”

"There is also the reform of the clan. Yes. I admit that this has solved a major hidden danger for the Ming Dynasty, but I spent tens of millions of taels in one breath. All of this money went into the clan house. This is nothing like going into Ouyang Lun's pocket. The difference is, now I’m still worried that the ten million or two dozen dollars will be wasted!”

One of Ouyang Lun's royal family reforms is to establish a royal family fund, which will be used by the clan government for investment and management and to pay for various expenses of the royal children. The starting capital is the salary of the royal children for the next twenty years. This money Naturally, the court had to pay for it.

Fortunately, Ming Dynasty now has a lot of money in the treasury, and it is relatively easy to take out 10 million. Zhu Yuanzhang was also attracted by Ouyang Lun's reform plan, and he directly waved his hand and paid 10 million in full!

But after giving it, Zhu Yuanzhang regretted it. Giving the money to the Zongren Mansion was not equivalent to giving it to Ouyang Lun!

Every time he worked hard to make some money from Ouyang Lun, he ended up losing ten million to Ouyang Lun. Unexpectedly, Zhu Yuanzhang felt very uncomfortable. Just when Queen Ma said this, Zhu Yuanzhang was no longer alive. I couldn't help but complain.

"Then Ouyang Lun is a big liar!"

"The murder of Chongning is even more outrageous. This kid just talked and then went to sleep on our dragon cave to solve the case. He smashed our dragon case with the national jade seal We're out of the pit! Where can we go to reason?"

"Sister, tell me. If officials acted like Ouyang Lun, would we still be alive?"

"Anqing is our daughter, and I will definitely go to see him, but not now. If I go, I will encourage Ouyang Lun's arrogance, and those who plan to give Ouyang Lun gifts will only become even crazier!"

After listening to Zhu Yuanzhang's crazy words, Empress Ma thought carefully and nodded, "Chongba, you are right. At this time, Ouyang probably doesn't want to be disturbed by others."

"." Zhu Yuanzhang was speechless, "Okay, we are someone else."

"Chongba, that's not what I meant. Don't think so." Empress Ma continued: "In addition, I have given some things to the clan mansion in your name, which are anti-abortion and nourishing supplements."

"You are the queen, you decide this matter." Zhu Yuanzhang nodded and did not object.

Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma came to the "restaurant" while chatting.

"Queen's Restaurant? Why is this name so weird, but I think it makes sense at the same time." Zhu Yuanzhang looked up at the plaque hanging on the door of the "restaurant".

"This plaque was sent by Ouyang Lun."

"." Zhu Yuanzhang's face turned dark and he walked in.

As soon as he entered the "restaurant", Zhu Yuanzhang was shocked by the scene in front of him.

The bright and bright hall was filled with seats, which looked very high-end. Many of the seats were occupied by concubines and palace maids who were dining.

When they saw the emperor and empress coming in, they quickly stood up and saluted.

"I have long said that there is no need to be restrained when eating in the Queen's Restaurant, just eat normally!" Empress Ma looked at Zhu Yuanzhang, "Chongba, am I right?"

"No problem, no problem. You can eat what you have. The queen and I are just here to take a look!"

Zhu Yuanzhang immediately spoke.

"In addition to these lobby seats for dining, there are also private rooms inside, which are more private, and the kitchen is inside."

"This Queen's Restaurant can also be used to train students in cooking skills. If you want to entertain ministers in the future, you can come to my place!"

Queen Ma proudly introduced.

"Sister, I have to say that your place is really good, a little bit worse than heaven and earth. Now we are all looking forward to the food you cook!"

Zhu Yuanzhang touched his growling belly, and then looked at Queen Ma.

The latter understood immediately, and then picked up a folder from the table, "This is the restaurant menu, you can order."

Zhu Yuanzhang opened the book and his eyes lit up.
