At the critical moment of the copper price war, Zhao Zhen spent almost all of his time in the queen's palace, and the news outside the palace, in addition to sending secret reports through the Imperial City Division, also sent news from the Cao family to confirm each other and ensure that they would not be deceived. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

To calm the price of copper and win the key battle, the Cao family has made a lot of efforts, and the relationship between Queen Cao and Zhao Zhen has quickly warmed up, almost to the time when they just got married, Queen Cao also lived up to expectations, and she was really pregnant.

People in their thirties, in later generations, can be regarded as advanced maternal age, let alone the Great Song Dynasty. Since she knew that she was pregnant, Empress Cao was extra cautious, and she suppressed all kinds of rumors, and no news leaked out.

Knowing that the fetus was stable, she showed her mouth outside, and all the people around her were changed, in order to ensure absolute safety, she found two nieces who had given birth from the Cao family, and worked in shifts day and night, serving closely.

All for the sake of the baby in the womb.

Seeing that Queen Cao's belly is getting bigger and bigger day by day, Zhao Zhen is full of joy, no matter how busy he is, he has to run over to take a look, ask his wife's physical condition, lie on his stomach, listen to the movements of the fetus, if the little guy raises his foot and kicks it, Zhao Zhen can be happy all day!

The bitter and sweet, the bad days have finally passed, the queen is pregnant, and the Runan Wangfu has also played a horse's foot, and it can't be deceived.

The rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty are still mine, and they are also my children.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen's heart was warm, he wanted to leave the child a peaceful and prosperous world, a country and a peaceful country, and a rich treasury!

Coming out of the queen's palace, Zhao Zhen just looked at it from a distance, and did not go in, so he turned around and came back.

"Sage, the imperial doctor said that the queen is in good health, and the fetus is also healthy, you can rest assured, it doesn't hurt to take a look more."

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "Then how can I do it, what should I do if I am cold and collide with Zitong and the child!" Besides, after so many bad things, I can't be too slack, in the past twenty years, the people below have seen that I am a good bully, and they have become more and more unruly......"

Zhao Zhen sighed and suddenly asked, "Chen Banban, how is the disarmament matter, and how many people have been settled?" 10,000, or 20,000? ”

More than 40,000 old and weak people have been laid off from the forbidden army, and according to Zhao Zhen's estimate, it is already very good to be able to settle half of the people.

Chen Lin grinned, "According to the report below, it is said that Lord Wang is recruiting!" ”

"Recruitment? What do you mean? ”

"It's just that the more than 40,000 people are not enough, and he is still recruiting workers on a large scale."

When Zhao Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed, "Chen Banban, aren't you playing sloppy for Wang Ning'an?" That's more than 40,000 people, not more than 40,000 bricks, how can it be said that the arrangement is arranged? Not enough manpower? Did Wang Ningan dislike them for being unruly, dismissed everyone, and recruited people again? ”

I have to say that the boss has become diligent, and the people below have a hard time.

Even Wang Ningan and Zhao Zhen are not at ease.

Chen Lin hurriedly said: "If the official family is not at ease, the old slave will go and invite Lord Wang to ask about the situation." ”

"Don't." Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "Wang Qing and they have a lot of things, and they are all very busy, but I am an idler...... That's it, Chen Banban, you just accompany me, go to the street to see, seeing is believing! ”

Chen Lin was also startled when he heard it, when he was young, Zhao Zhen had a private visit, and he had hardly left the palace for more than ten years, but now when he saw it, the emperor was indeed different from the past.

Changing into the clothes of the people, and taking a lot of masters of the Imperial City Division to protect them in the dark, Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin came out from behind the palace, went around a few streets, and came to the Royal Street.

It's a shame to say that Zhao Zhen hasn't seen the country under his rule for a long time.

As far as the eye can see, Zhufang Lane, horse shop, Zhuxiang medicine shop, tea shop and wine shop are all beautifully decorated and have different styles. At night, the lights and candles shine like a fairyland.

Even during the day, you can feel extremely prosperous, and all the doors have official music sheds. Thousands of streets and alleys, all prosperous and noisy. At the mouth of each alley, there is no place to go to the music shed, and there are more small shadow theater sheds to prevent the visitors and children of the square from losing each other, so as to attract them.

Deep alleys, embroidered forehead bead curtains, clever new makeup, gorgeous competition, spring love, wine and happiness, elegant and happy, inch yin pity, the scenery is vast, and I don't feel even better.

Bao riding horses, incense wheels, Wuling is young, full of songs, thousands of households, sheng spring is not thorough, the city people sell jade plum, nocturnal moth, bees, snow willow, Bodhi leaves, Ketou Yuanzi, patting the head of Jiao and so on fragrant flowers and herbs, attracting countless people to buy, weaving into a garland, wearing on the head, full of life.

If you are hungry, there are big millet rice, roasted meat, dried preserves, lettuce shoots, mustard melons, Yitang melons, Weizhou white peaches, Nanjing golden peaches, water goose pears, golden apricots, Xiaoyao plums, red lings, sand horns, medicinal papaya, water papaya, ice and snow, cold water lychee paste and so on, all of which are stacked with green cloth umbrellas as bed benches on the street.

There are also sand sugar mung beans, crystal soaps, yellow cold dumplings, chicken heads, ice and snow fine steamed dumplings, hemp drink chicken skin, fine rope cold powder, vegetarian sticks, strings of cooked ringo, fat and hemp dumplings, Jiang beans, mutton small steamed buns, turtle sand stuffing, etc., all of which are delicious.

Looking at the wind pavilion water pavilion, the high-rise buildings, the snow sill ice tray, the floating melon and the sinking plum, the flowing cup qu swamp, the bud and the new lotus, the song of the far away, the whole night.

……

Looking at the prosperity and wealth in front of him, Zhao Zhen actually had the urge to cry.

This is his country, the peaceful and prosperous world that he single-handedly governs! Seeing this, Zhao Zhen was both relieved and worried, full of flowers, cooking oil in a blazing fire, after all, it could not last long.

Even if it is the prosperity of the Han and Tang Dynasties, it will inevitably flourish and decline, not to mention the Great Song Dynasty, which has a weak foundation for the founding of the country.

Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen became more and more concerned about disarmament matters, and said that it was difficult to move an inch without money, and disarmament was the basis for the next change.

Zhao Zhen was walking, and he happened to see a restaurant on the side of the road, and there were a few men dressed in cyan shorts at the door, pushing a cart and running quickly.

Zhao Zhen smiled and said, "Chen Banban, is this made by that kid?" ”

Chen Lin said: "It looks like." ”

"Well, go in and sit for a while, doesn't that kid like to be pragmatic, but I want to see if he is bragging!"

Zhao Zhen and Chen Lin walked over, and a young man hurriedly greeted them.

"Two guest officers, can you reserve a seat in advance?"

Zhao Zhen shook his head, "Could it be that there is no reservation, there is no place?" ”

"No, no, no!"

Xiao'er hurriedly laughed and said, "Guest officer, there is a private seat on the first floor, do you want to sit down?" ”

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, "It's in the lobby." ”

"Okay!"

Xiao'er found them a table by the window, obviously there was no dust, and he also had a white towel to wipe it, very attentive and exquisite.

Zhao Zhen ordered a few dishes casually, and while he was busy in the kitchen, he called the young man over and asked with a smile.

"How is your business here?"

"Okay, don't mention how good, follow the fire!" The young man said: "Although our Jingu Restaurant is not as good as Fan Lou, Yipinju, Tianxiang Pavilion, it is also a famous restaurant in the capital." In the past, there were no seats unless you made a reservation in advance. ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "There was no one in the past, but today we have it, are we blessed, or is your store's business not as good as before?" ”

The young man hurriedly shook his head, "Of course you two are blessed, but the business under the cover is better." ”

"What's the reason for that?" Zhao Zhen said curiously.

"Of course, there's food delivery."

Seeing that the business was not busy, the young man opened the conversation box and chatted with Zhao Zhen and them.

Food delivery has been available for a long time, but it is usually the guy in the store who delivers it, or the other party sends a family member to pick it up.

But this is not very convenient, after all, when the meal is eaten, the guys are busy and can't leave easily, so they must reach a certain amount before delivering the meal.

The recent launch of the food delivery business has changed dramatically.

First of all, the food delivery staff will first go to inns, hotels, workshops, shops, docks, and wealthy families' homes, wherever they need to order food, collect orders in advance, and then place orders in various restaurants, and then send them to each other after they are done.

The people in the capital eat and drink well, that's not bragging, no matter how expensive the restaurant is, it is full of guests, and there are many people who can't squeeze in, so they have to leave disappointed and deal with it casually on the street. Since there is a special food delivery, the situation is completely different, place an order for the restaurant in advance, and do not need to occupy the location of the restaurant, what you want to eat, directly to the hand, it is very convenient.

This is a good thing for the restaurant, the shipment has increased, the number of places occupied by the restaurant has decreased, and there is no need to waste their valuable human resources, which can not be found with a lantern.

At first, there were many restaurants who were suspicious and unwilling to mix, but within a few days, when they saw that other people's orders were received every day, and the shipments doubled, they were all red-eyed.

Even the street stalls are involved, for fear of falling behind.

It's also a good thing for ordinary guests, not every household can order a table of dishes, and not everyone can afford to have a servant who can help with the food and drinks. But it doesn't mean that these people don't want to eat delicious meals, and the pace of the capital is too fast, business opportunities are fleeting, many people can't go to restaurants to delay time, and some people don't like the noisy scene of people being crowded and crowded.

All in all, the delivery man helped them.

One or two hours in advance, write down the things you want to eat on the list, and there will be a food delivery person to take it away, and when it is time to eat, the meal will be delivered on time, and after eating, there is no need to clean it up, and there are special personnel to take it away.

From start to finish, I don't have to worry about anything, it's so sweet.

Once launched, it was a huge hit.

Zhao Zhen smiled, "Sounds good, how do those delivery people earn, do they have a profit?" ”

Xiao Er stole a look, lowered his voice and said, "It's a big profit!" Truth be told, the little ones want to go and deliver food! ”

According to the regulations, you can get two coppers for sending a meal, and an average of 200 copies a day is 400 Wen! 12 times a month.

"More than 100 a year, which is twice as much as the forbidden army!" Zhao Zhen said meaningfully.

"More than that!" The young man said: "Guest officer, eating in a restaurant, premises, tables, chairs, and benches, all of them must be counted as money!" The actual price of food delivery is at least 20% off for a dish, and some are only half the price, or even 3% off! ”
