"Your Highness, there is a gambling house in front, we can't go!"

Li Zhaotong anxiously grabbed Zhu Houzhao.

After teaching Zhu Houzhao the "Second Set of National Primary and Secondary School Students' Children's Radio Gymnastics - The Times is Calling", he was pulled by Zhu Houzhao to the chessboard street in front of Daming Gate.

This is the liveliest place in the whole of Beijing.

The location here is excellent, it is the center of the capital, and it is close to the imperial city, the military and political yamen, there are many people coming and going, all kinds of peddlers and pawns, scholars and nobles gather and shuttle here, and the business is prosperous.

At this time, the two passed by a gambling house called "Shouchang Gambling House", Zhu Houzhao saw that it was lively inside, and he was about to pull Li Zhaotong inside.

Of course, Li Zhaotong can't agree, Zhu Houzhao went out of the palace in microclothes, whether he slipped out or not, there must be Dongchang Fanzi or Jinyiwei secretly protecting him, so what Zhu Houzhao did would inevitably be known by Emperor Hongzhi.

If he followed Zhu Houzhao's wish and entered the gambling house, then Emperor Hongzhi would not be thunderous and angry!

"Why can't you go in?" Zhu Houzhao was puzzled.

Of course, Li Zhaotong can't tell him that it is the reason why His Majesty will be angry and cut people, this dog forcing the prince is extremely rebellious, if he says it, the dog forcing the prince must enter.

That can only be said euphemistically.

Li Zhaotong's eyes rolled, and he felt that he still had to start with money, so he asked rhetorically:

"Your Highness, do you have a lot of money?"

"No, this palace is very poor, and there are only one hundred taels on him."

"Then you are not suitable to go in, a hundred taels of silver in it, it may not be enough for you to play for a quarter of an hour, because this gambling house is a place to cheat money, you see, that guy with tattered clothes and a blue nose and swollen face was cheated out of all the money in it and was beaten."

It just so happened that a gambler was beaten out at this time, and Li Zhaotong pointed to the gambler and said.

"Oh, that's it, then you lend some money to Bengong, Bengong knows that you are rich!"

Zhu Houzhao felt that he would not be deceived, so he still wanted to enter.

“……”

Li Zhaotong's face was dark, and he really wanted to scold: Zhu Houzhao, Zhu Houzhao, it is worthy of you! Fuck it!

"Your Highness, let's go find and buy gifts for the Queen Mother and Her Royal Highness the Princess as originally planned! You are a poor ghost, don't ask your ministers to borrow money, you can't afford to pay it back.

In addition, if Your Highness really wants to enter, then you should go to your uncle, this Shouchang gambling house, nine times out of ten, it was opened by your two uncles, let them take you there, and you will not lose money. ”

"If you don't go to this palace, they are too picky, and when you go to this palace, I'm afraid you won't even be able to drink a bowl of water, let alone take me to their property to play."

"Then let's go, pick up a gift."

……

Li Zhaotong refused to borrow money from this dog thing, and Zhu Houzhao was forced by the situation and finally failed to enter the Shouchang gambling house, but he still remembered it.

Because he is a talented person, he will not be deceived!

Therefore, he walked silently with Li Zhaotong on this chessboard street for a while, and then he spoke:

"Li Er, you say, how should this palace make money and make a lot of money?"

"Do business!"

persuaded the prince to be forced by the dog, Li Zhaotong was in a good mood, and the good news about honeycomb coal in the past two days was wave after wave.

No, the vendors who set up stalls on the chessboard street to sell roasted cakes have already used honeycomb coal.

Looking at this scene, Li Zhaotong couldn't help but sink his mind into his mind, and admired the "+1", "+1", "+1" for a while...... number, into God.

Therefore, when Zhu Houzhao asked, he answered without thinking.

Then he regretted it, for the prince would surely trouble him.

Sure enough, Zhu Houzhao's right hand quickly put on Li Zhaotong's shoulder, and said flatteringly:

"Li Er, this palace knows that you will do business, quickly! Give Hongu an idea, Hongu wants to do business and make a lot of money! ”

"And then you're going to go to the gambling house and lose it all, right?"

Li Zhaotong replied quietly.

"Humph! This palace is only eight buckets high, how can I lose money, this palace wants to make my uncle who slammed the door bleed. ”

"Your Highness, it's good to be happy......"

"Of course Hongu is happy, hurry up and teach Hongu to do business!" Zhu Houzhao urged.

"Your Highness, are you sure you really want to do business?"

Li Zhaotong became serious, and he also added:

"Your Royal Highness, Emperor Taizu Gao is extremely disgusted with businessmen, if you are in business, you are not afraid of being impeached by the officials, and then reprimanded by Your Majesty?"

"I'm afraid of a fart, the dog emperor is not afraid, what am I afraid of?" Zhu Houzhao scoffed.

Li Zhaotong: "......"

"Since His Highness is not afraid, the minister really has an idea."

"Say it! Say it! ”

Zhu Houzhao was as anxious as a monkey, scratching his ears and cheeks, and the small movements in his hands did not stop.

"It's simple, butter cakes."

Li Zhao replied word by word.

For the cream cake, Li Zhaotong has long known that he can make money, but he has never been interested in money.

Because his father is Li Dongyang.

Li Dongyang: Who is that?

When the court is old...... Forget this, the salaries of officials in the Ming Dynasty are extremely low, if they are not greedy, unless they have a good family background, they are poor!

For example, Qiu Jun, who ousted Wang Shu, this is a poor man, Qiu Jun's dilapidated house often leaked rain, not to mention that he wanted to buy books, and he had to sell his belongings at a pawnshop to buy them.

And Qiu Jun is the elder of the pavilion.

Li Dongyang, the most important thing, he became famous at the age of four, and was fed fruits by Zhu Qiyu, the Jingtai Emperor, and was the youngest Jinshi and the youngest record held by Qiu Jun at the age of eighteen, and was famous all over the world for great writers, poets, and painters!

He casually writes a word on scratch paper, makes a dot drawing, and releases it, without waiting for him to die, he can be immediately bought and sold for a sky-high price!

So, with such a father, will Li Zhaotong still be short of money?

Not to mention, his mother is also the daughter of the late Chengguo Gong Zhu Yi, and the current Chengguo Duke Zhu Fu's sister-in-law! When I married into the Li Mansion, God knows how much dowry I brought!

Not bad money at all!

Li Zhaotong is a noble person, and what he values is how much beneficial things he can do to this society......

Well, a little selfish, he wants to continue his life with this.

Cream cake, in his opinion, can make money, but it can't last any life, so after making it, this food is only popular in Li Mansion and a few people who have a good relationship with Li Mansion, and it has not been taken out by him for commercial promotion.

Now Zhu Houzhao wants to make money, and Li Zhaotong doesn't want to use his brains more, so let's leave it at that!

"Cream cakes? It's very delicious to eat, much better than the waste made by Guanglu Temple. ”

Speaking of which, many people may think that in ancient times, it was the imperial dining room that was responsible for the palace food, but in fact, people with this view were misled by film and television dramas.

The Imperial Dining Room, which is a unique institution of the Qing Dynasty, has nothing to do with my Ming Dynasty.

The Ming Dynasty was responsible for the palace food, before Wanli was Guanglu Temple, and after Wanli was Neiku.

Why is this happening?

This is Zhu Yuanzhang's pot! The pot of the strict household registration system set by Zhu Yuanzhang!

In the Ming Dynasty, unless you study and take the imperial examination to become an official, the vast majority of the situation is what household registration can only do, in this case, the society has lost its creativity, and one generation is not as good as the next.

This is the case with Guangrokuji Temple.

And the people of Guanglu Temple are even more excessive! Because they are all iron rice bowls, then they have to add a word to the generation that is not as good as the generation-

Lazy!

Throughout the Ming Dynasty, except for the Zhu Yuanzhang period, Guanglu Temple had more than 6,000 people at the most, and more than 3,000 people at the least, and no one cooked deliciously!

This is by no means an exaggeration, "Wanli Ye Ed" records: Jingshi Xiang has a proverb cloud: Hanlin Academy article, arsenal sword gun, Guanglu Temple tea soup, Tai Hospital prescription, cover the name is not worthy of the name.

It can be seen that the cooking in Guanglu Temple is unpalatable, and even the people know it, so it is no wonder that Emperor Wanli would let the internal supervision department cook.

Zhu Houzhao scolded the people of Guanglu Temple for their waste, and he was not wrong.

Those people are really waste, as early as the Yongle period, they were waste, because the Guanglu Temple in the Yongle period would only make unpalatable canteen dishes, which are all recorded in history.

"Your Highness, the cream cake was invented by the minister, you compare the waste of Guanglu Temple with the minister, you are insulting!

The minister said, Your Highness, you might as well suggest that Your Majesty, let the internal supervision department take care of the food in the palace in the future! ”

Mr. Li Zhaotong looked displeased, and then sincerely suggested.

He was genuinely sincere.

Looking at the "memory", how many emperors in the Ming Dynasty were short-lived ghosts?

Zhu Gaochi, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Zhanji, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Qiyu, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Qizhen, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Jianshen, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Youji, short-lived ghost!

Zhu Houzhao, short-lived ghost!

Look! This series of them are all short-lived ghosts, and none of the emperors are absent!

Of course, these emperors have lived short lives one after another, and there must be other reasons, such as the Tai Hospital is also a waste or something, but it is difficult to say that the waste of this Guanglu Temple does not know how to cook is not a reason.

The way of health preservation, eating accounts for a large part of the proportion!

Therefore, Li Zhaotong, who really hoped that Zhu Youzhi and Zhu Houzhao would live for a few more years, was sincerely suggesting that Zhu Houzhao go to Emperor Hongzhi and tell the waste of Guanglu Temple to get out.

"Don't talk about those wastes, tell this palace how to make money with cream cakes!"

Zhu Houzhao doesn't want to think about the wastes of Guanglu Temple for the time being, he just wants to go to the sea to make money now!
