It's already November, the climate in the north is gradually decreasing, and the hot pot brought by Qian Yuan last year began to become popular in the whole capital, almost every slightly high-grade restaurant has copper hot pot, hot base soup, thinly sliced mutton beef, hard frozen tofu, and unbroken vegetables.

However, those who are gluttonous or not bad for money still like to go to the Qianjia restaurant, although the price is a little higher, but the soup is delicious, the seasoning is varied, especially the newly launched shrimp slippery makes people droop, not to mention the thoughtful service...... Qian Yuan copied Haidilao by almost thirty percent.

But the best is not the Qian family restaurant, but the small kitchen of Suiyuan, it snowed yesterday, Feng Bao came straight to the door this morning, saying that Emperor Jiajing wanted to drink and brush the hot pot to enjoy the snow...... With this virtue, I still want to cultivate and become an immortal.

If only one Emperor Jiajing is supplied, forget it, but not to mention the twenty-four eunuchs, at least the big eunuchs such as Huang Jin and Feng Bao must be supplied, and then Yan Shifan, Dong Fen, and Zhao Wenhua...... Even the head of the household department asked his son to grab a share.

Therefore, Qian Yuan was very sorry to send the people from the Xu Mansion away, it was really gone, there was hot pot everywhere in the capital, and my father-in-law liked to eat it, one family a day, and I couldn't eat it all winter.

"It's really gone." Qian Yuan returned to the room and pointed to the steaming copper hot pot on the table, "The last one." ”

"Uh-huh...... Oh, it's hot! Yuwang's hand trembled, the shrimp held by the chopsticks slipped and fell under the table, and a little black dog came out of nowhere and took it away.

"Go, go!" Qian Yuan kicked the puppy away with a gentle kick, this is what his cousin has only been raising for a few months, and he also named it Luo Dahei......

"Is it really the last one?" Gao Gong said slowly: "The whole capital knows that you beat Xu Fan to ...... last year."

"If it weren't for my brother and sister's poetry, Zhancai wouldn't be ...... It's bad luck. Xu Wei gloated on the side, "A few days ago, Uncle Zhang was pushed back, and Xu Fan didn't keep his eyes open. ”

Qian Yuan sat down indifferently, saw the shrimp slip picked up in the hot pot, picked up the chopsticks and poked it down like lightning, and the specially polished very sharp chopstick tip poked the shrimp slippery, which he practiced in the bean fishing workshop.

It snowed yesterday, with the garden wrapped in silver, it was difficult for King Yu to go out of the house to find a high arch, the two came to Suiyuan together, it happened that Xu Wei was not on duty in Xiyuan today, and he was too lazy to go to the Hanlin Courtyard to order, the four of them sat down to eat hot pot, chatting while enjoying the snow.

"Yu Dayou transferred the general army of Zhejiang, this is logical." Gao Gong has little influence on things in the southeast, but he pays great attention to it, "But Qi Jiguang was promoted very quickly, and three years ago he was just a guerrilla." ”

This is reasonable, Yu Dayou emerged as early as the fourteenth year of Jiajing, and was appointed as a general in the twenty-eighth year of Jiajing, with deep qualifications and great achievements; And Qi Jiguang has been unknown until the beginning of this year, when he won two small victories in Taizhou, and became famous because Qian Yuan vigorously advocated for him in Beijing.

"Actually, Yu Dayou and Qi Yuanjing are a bit similar." Xu Wei stopped his chopsticks, "Both of them were born in Jiangmen, and they have ambitions since childhood, not only reading military books hard, but also reciting poems, and they are both good at training soldiers and planning battles." ”

After a pause, Xu Wei glanced at Qian Yuan, "If you talk about military training, I'm afraid that Qi Yuanjing is still above Yu Dayou, this time in Taizhou every battle will be won, and the Japanese will have little power to fight back, and then go to sea to defeat the Japanese again." ”

"Qi Yuanjing's poems are quite strong, and he has the voice of Yan Zhao." Qian Yuanman groaned: "Xiaozhu is temporarily sitting down, and there is an old alliance when you are worried. Calling the bottle to greet the guests, waving the bow to sit and talk. The cloud guard toothpick is full, and the star contains a sword. I don't want to be a marquis, but I hope the sea is flat. ”

"Four years ago, when the Japanese invaded Dengzhou, Shandong, Qi Yuanjing held the city for several days, and suddenly led his troops to fight, beheaded more than 100 Japanese invaders, and wrote this five words that night."

King Yu only cares about eating, he likes shrimp slippery the most, and Gao Arch whispers in his mouth, and his face shows appreciation.

"In this southeast rebellion, Lu Bo was defeated, Liu Yuan fled, Liu Xian tried his best to support, only one south and one north two good generals have quite a victory, Your Majesty clearly sees thousands of miles."

Qian Yuan is in a very good mood today, this time the Japanese invaded, although Yu Dayou was unable to go south in time to aid Jiaxing, but he won frequent victories in the Susong area, among which the Fujian Japanese invaders who came to pick up cheap in Qingpu were defeated, and Ye Zongman was only spared.

After Yu Dayou led the troops south, near Jiashan County and Xu Hai retreated from the main force of the Japanese invaders, the two sides confronted each other for half a day, Yu Dayou raided with a small force of cavalry, Xu Hai did not press the hole cards in his hand, and chose to break his tail to survive.

In this battle, Yu Dayou killed 500 Japanese and rescued 400 young people who were coerced, while Xu Hai escaped from Zhapu, Pinghu County.

The war report came to Beijing, Yu Dayou's reputation soared, many imperial histories of the Imperial Inspectorate, and many of the six departments wrote to the matter, Emperor Jiajing appointed Yu Dayou to be transferred to the chief military officer of Zhejiang, and the general army of Wusong was taken over by Dong Bangzheng, who stayed in Susong.

But what many people didn't expect was that Emperor Jiajing was appointed at the same time, and Qi Jiguang, a general of Ning Shaotai, was promoted to the deputy commander-in-chief of Zhejiang.

Qian Yuan calculated in his heart, no matter why you Hu Ruzhen looked at those two unpleasantly, Qi Jiguang had to be transferred to Taizhou this time, and it was impossible for Yu Dayou to transfer the general army in Zhejiang to stay in Songjiang.

Gao Gong, Qian Yuan and Xu Wei didn't pay attention to eating, and their brains never stopped turning, but King Yu didn't care, and ate the plate of shrimp in one go before putting down the chopsticks.

"Zhancai, this time the southeast has made great contributions...... Haha, it is said that the officials are quite scratching their heads. King Yu said with great interest: "This kind of thing has not happened in this dynasty, and Shu Jishi has frequently made military achievements. ”

"It's always a good thing." Gao Gong continued: "I only said it when I heard the exhibition a few days ago...... Still going south? ”

Qian Yuan nodded, "It's just that this time I narrowly escaped my life, uncle and aunt ......."

"Isn't there Hu Ruzhen and Wu Weixi in the matter of suppressing the widows." King Yu finally confided the true intention of this trip, "The fleet that Zhancai said before leaving Beijing last time ...... the fleet"

King Yu is really poor, after all, he is a prince without an official name, and many times the pomp has to be put out, but King Yu's biological mother has passed away, and there is no subsidy at all.

Just yesterday, Liu Hong, who is in charge of managing the restaurant, also said privately that Xu Fan is the most white person in the Qian Family Restaurant, followed by Yuwangfu.

"Xu Hai is dead, Wang Zhi is down, and the fleet can be started." Qian Yuan lowered his voice, "The minister has already made preparations in private, just in the area of Taizhou and Zhoushan, Your Highness can rest assured." ”

"Mainly silk, cotton, tea, porcelain." Xu Wei added: "It is forbidden to go to sea with food, gunpowder, and iron. ”

"There's no need to ban it, it's unstoppable, and it's a heavy tax." Qian Yuan shook his head, "If the fleet can transport grain into the port, it can be tax-free, and it can even promise tax-free for the next transaction." ”

"It's a pity that the city division has not been reinstated since it was abolished." Xu Wei sighed: "The southeast rebellion started because of this, the general rule is that Kou will turn into business, and if it is prohibited, the maritime merchant will turn into Kou......"

"But Xu Hai is a natural bandit leader, if he doesn't die, even if he restores the city, it's useless." Qian Yuan patted the table lightly, "So, next, the first thing to do is to kill Xu Hai and exterminate the main force of the Japanese under his command." ”

After all, Gao Gong and King Yu were far away in the capital and didn't hear anything, but Xu Weijiu had traveled in the southeast and had personally fought several times, so he knew very well the combat power of the Japanese under Xu Hai's command, and he carefully looked at Qian Yuan's face...... seems to be very confident, maybe this is why Qian Yuan insisted on going to the southeast again.

"Xu Hai died, Wang surrendered, and with the official and military warships trained along the coast, merchant ships can pass through the sea." Qian Yuan looked at Gao Gong, "In the future, everything will depend on Zhongxuan Gong." ”

Gao Gong was in favor of opening the sea ban, and he had the courage to do anything, so he agreed on the spot.

King Yu is also in favor of opening the sea ban, after all, the money, he has carefully calculated, if the sea is closed to trade, as long as the original smugglers pay fifty percent of the tax, the annual income is more than the ten years of harvest of the original city.

What's more, the fleet formed by Qian Yuan will be hung on the royal head in the future, just this income...... Yuwang has eaten meals from the Qian family restaurant almost every day for more than half a year, and a pair of eyes on his chubby round face have narrowed into a slit with a smile.

The heavy snow flying outside gradually stopped, and there were only leftovers left in the hot pot in the house, Gao Gong got up and was about to say goodbye, when suddenly King Yu's words made him pause.

"The princess is still ...... in a month," King Yu looked at Qian Yuan with hope in his eyes. Talent ......"

The other three were speechless, Gao Gong and Xu Wei were both orthodox readers, and they paid attention to "Zi Bu is silent and strange and confused", while Qian Yuan was a little ......

After two consecutive coincidences, now King Yu really regards Qian Yuan as a lucky star......

Finally, in the expressions of Gao Gong and Xu Wei crying and laughing, Qian Yuan arched his hand and said: "Your Royal Highness is blessed and lucky, and the princess will be able to give birth safely......"

"Good!" King Yu affectionately held Qian Yuan's hand and said goodbye.

Gao Gong looked strange, if it weren't for the fact that Qian Yuan was only twenty years old and had only been in the office for half a year, this would definitely be his biggest opponent.
