The reason why Zhu Cijiong ran out for a private interview was not on a whim, in fact, he had long wanted to come to see the living standards of the people in Limin, but he had never been able to spare time.

is a huge empire, even if he doesn't have to review the folds, he still has a lot of things to deal with in a day, plus he has to accompany his two precious sons, so it is usually difficult for him to find time.

On this day, the capital and the local yamen were all on holiday, and the two baby sons were tired of playing in the afternoon and fell asleep, so he had to come out to see.

Since it was a private visit to Weifu, he naturally couldn't bring too many guards, so he only brought Cao Huachun and Wang Zhengnan with him, and the other Jinyi guards and Dongchang masters were on guard along the way in civilian clothes, and he was like a rich boy, taking two entourages to walk slowly on East Chang'an Street.

He visited a lot of shops along the way, learned about the prices of various goods, and secretly observed the purchasing power of ordinary people, and even secretly followed the butts of several ordinary people who came out to buy New Year's goods, and walked for a long time, just to see what they bought for the New Year.

Through an afternoon of observation, he came to the conclusion that the people of the capital are really rich, and ordinary people buy a dozen or twenty taels of New Year's goods without blinking their eyes, and they can take out dozens of taels if they have money.

This consumption power is already quite terrifying, you must know that the population of the Ming Empire is now more than 200 million, and every ordinary person can take out ten taels, that is, more than two billion taels!

Of course, the people in the capital must be richer than the local people, but they can spend more than ten or twenty taels to buy a New Year's goods, which is enough to prove that their spending power is far more than that.

Zhu Cijiong became happier the more he looked at the way, and unconsciously followed the flow of people to the vicinity of the four major generals, and it happened to be close to evening, and he was hungry, so he simply looked for the largest restaurant to see what level the rich people ate and drank.

But as soon as he entered the Chang'an Restaurant, he found another problem, he hadn't eaten outside, what kind of dishes should he order?

As soon as he asked Cao Huachun and Wang Zhengnan, these two people also shook their heads blankly, Cao Huachun basically ate in the palace, and Wang Zhengnan basically ate and lived with Jinyiwei, these two people left his sight for very little time, where did they have time to come out and eat and drink!

Zhu Cijiong was instantly moved, these two people spent almost all their thoughts on doing things for themselves, Wang Zhengnan didn't even get married, and he stayed with him all day long!

He decided to treat the two of them to a good meal, and Wang Zhengnan's marriage should be done for him as soon as possible.

As for this order, it doesn't matter if you don't know what to order, naturally there are foodies who will order, his mind turned, and he immediately thought of Luo Yangxing, this food is the same as Maitreya Buddha, it is definitely a foodie, this place is not far from the four major generals, simply, send someone to pass on him.

In this way, Luo Yangxing was invited over.

Luo Yangxing looked at the menu pushed by the emperor, and was instantly confused, he could eat and eat, but he didn't know what the emperor liked to eat.

Nervously flipped through the menu, he finally couldn't help but ask, "This, Huang Gongzi, what do you want to eat?" “

Zhu Cijiong has read this menu carefully, the price of the dishes is not very outrageous, there are a few taels of money, and the highest is only more than ten taels, just throw a hundred taels of dragon coins to order a table, but he is carrying a large stack of hundred taels of dragon coins in his arms.

He said indifferently: "You can order as you like, a few for a few dollars, a few for a few taels, a few for more than ten taels, and just pick up the delicious ones." “

How dare Luo Yangxing order casually, he turned to the most expensive page, thought about it, and asked carefully: "Does Huang Gongzi eat fish?" “

Zhu Cijiong nodded and said helplessly: "Eat." “

Luo Yangxing immediately suggested: "Why don't you have a steamed Songjiang sea bass, the best fish here is this." “

If it's delicious, it's delicious, what do you always ask, Zhu Cijiong is helpless, no way, who calls himself the emperor, he had to nod again and said, "Well, then let's have one." “

Luo Yangxing is indeed a foodie, this Chang'an restaurant was opened by his brother-in-law, and he has basically eaten all the delicious dishes in it, if he is allowed to call the shots, it is estimated that it will not take a stick of incense to order it all.

However, the emperor is here, how dare he make an assertion, the two of them asked and answered, and it took nearly a quarter of an hour to finish.

Ten dishes, almost a table full of music, Zhu Cijiong didn't want to waste, as an emperor, a guest, this dish is really too little.

At this time, the sky is gradually getting dark, but the business of Chang'an Restaurant is getting better and better, because there are also electric lights in it!

Zhu Cijiong looked at the bright lobby and couldn't help but praise: "Does the owner of this restaurant have a way, this electric light has not been sold to the people, he installed it, and it can still be connected to electricity, not bad, not bad." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, cold sweat broke out, the emperor wouldn't be talking back!

He struggled in his heart for a while, but he still stubbornly said: "Emperor, Huang Gongzi, this restaurant is actually opened by my brother-in-law, I see that he is idle all day, so I simply paid some money to help him open this restaurant, I found someone to install the electric lights for him, and I also found someone to pull the wires for him." I also saw that the restaurant was almost dimly lit at night, and if it was connected to the electric light, the business would be good, so I made the right suggestion to let people install this electric light. “

When Zhu Cijiong heard this, he looked at the goods curiously for a while, then slapped his face, and suddenly said: "It turned out to be you, I'll just say, where did this common people come from, your head is good, this idea is very good, very good." “

At this time, Luo Yang's frightened sweat beads fell, but the emperor really didn't look like he was going to clean him up.

He plucked up his courage and asked weakly, "Huang Gongzi, don't you blame me?" “

Zhu Cijiong shook his head and said, "Why do I blame you, you are not an official again, this is not a use of power for personal gain." Also, I'm thinking of starting an electrical appliance company, which sells electric lights, isn't that a good advertisement? “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he couldn't help wiping his sweat, but fortunately, the emperor was not talking back.

Zhu Cijiong only found out that this guy was already sweating profusely, and couldn't help laughing: "Hot, you just take off your coat, what kind of skin is this, it's a bit funny to wear it on you." “

When Luo Yangxing heard this, he hurriedly took off his mink coat and said with a smile: "This is sable fur, it is a bit nondescript to wear a rough person like me, but a woman is quite beautiful when she wears it, and it is very warm." “

Sable? High-end goods, Zhu Cijiong curiously reached out to come over, touched it, it was really soft and warm, but such a big coat, I'm afraid it would cost a lot of sable skin, he asked curiously: "How did so many sable skins come from?" “

Luo Yangxing explained: "These sable skins are all purchased from Siberia, and they are not very rare over there, but it is different when they arrive in the capital, they used to be thousands of taels, and they have not yet been in such good condition, and they have purchased a lot there, and they want to set up a workshop to do this, and they are afraid that the sales will not be good, so let me sum it up, I can't make up my mind, Huang Gongzi, what do you think?" “

This is a hidden sycophant, which means that the emperor understands everything.

However, Zhu Cijiong really eats this, it just so happens that he has faintly heard of this mink coat in later generations, at least tens of thousands, a thousand taels is almost tens of thousands of yuan, not expensive, the Ming Dynasty is in its heyday, are you afraid that people can't afford it?

Zhu Cijiong nodded smugly and said: "Well, this idea is very good, don't worry about it, in this prosperous era, there is absolutely no need to worry about sales." “
