Chapter 555: Talking
On the way back, Chi Yue looked worried, Gu Han felt strange when he saw it, no matter what time it was, Chi Yue rarely had a worried expression, and seemed to be able to consider everything, but now she looked worried, and couldn't help but say strangely.
"What's wrong? Did today's events upset you? ”
Chi Yue shook her head and was silent for a moment before slowly speaking.
"No, I don't know whether I should answer Princess Ning'an's question or not, what is the situation in the neighboring country now, you should also know! I really didn't expect that there would be a big drought, and Princess Ning'an's step must be a last resort. ”
When Gu Han heard this, he immediately knew what Chi Yue was worried about, and immediately chuckled, the person he fancied was really not wrong, Chi Yue was still so kind.
"You have to answer Princess Ning'an's question, because it is impossible for the emperor to let Dasheng show weakness to its neighbors, and Princess Ning'an's purpose, everyone obviously understands, what I can investigate, the emperor can naturally investigate."
"Even if I don't know what the situation of the neighboring countries is like now, I understand that they are short of food, and the neighboring countries have asked us for food before, but the emperor refused."
At the beginning, Dasheng also had a famine, so there would not be no surplus food, but the emperor obviously would not be kind enough to lend grain to neighboring countries.
The neighboring countries are already rich in weapons, and the soldiers and horses are stronger than our country, if the neighboring countries are made stronger, then the great prosperous country will be in danger, so the emperor will not agree.
Even if a neighboring country is willing to cede land, it will not work.
When Chi Yue heard this, she couldn't help frowning and spoke.
"I also know this, so I feel worried, why is the emperor so cautious, he can exchange our grain for the other party's weapons and war horses, so that the two countries will not progress at the same time?"
What's more, the neighboring country itself is stronger than the Dasheng country, and now it is only poor, but it is not to the end of the road, as long as it survives this period, after all, drought does not mean that you can't grow food, but you can plant some sweet potatoes that don't need watering.
Not only can it fill its stomach, but the grain is also high, and I don't know how much better it is than wheat and corn, so the current disaster in the neighboring country is only temporary, and it will be fine after it gets through.
When the time comes, if he wants to attack Dashengguo, he will still attack Dashengguo.
But she heard that the emperor of the neighboring country was a good ruler and generous to others, and besides, if the emperor lent grain to the neighboring country, the people of the neighboring country would also be grateful to him.
After all, the emperor's reputation is very important, and if you want to be convincing, you must show convincing skills.
Gu Han also knew Chi Yue's thoughts, after all, no one knew the economic situation of neighboring countries better than Chi Yue.
"Sitting in that position, worrying all day that someone else is going to take your place, so it's not as simple as thinking about things like the rest of us."
"Besides, don't you already have a solution?"
When Chi Yue heard this, she immediately looked at Gu Han.
"How do you know?"
Gu Han scratched Chi Yue's nose dotingly, and said helplessly.
"Have you forgotten that although my property has been handed over to you to take care of, I can still receive news of some important things here, and I have stockpiled so much grain, don't you want to help your neighbors?"
"Otherwise, the grain in those big warehouses will be moldy."
From the time Chi Yue started, Gu Han had already understood Chi Yue's intentions.
When Chi Yue heard this, she looked at Gu Han with a smile, she didn't want to hide it from Gu Han, but she could know what she was going to do with one move, and instantly guessed exactly what she was thinking, Chi Yue was still very surprised.
"My restaurant is in a neighboring country, so how can I do it without food! I'm not that kind of to make this kind of loss-making business. ”
Chi Yue just felt that the emperor of the neighboring country was very good, and for the sake of the people, he began to save money, and even Princess Ning'an did not have a few particularly valuable jewelry.
What's more, Fumanlou was opened to neighboring countries, and Fumanlou in neighboring countries was opened by Princess Ning'an, but the raw materials were bought from her, and without those raw materials, it would no longer be Fumanlou.
So the two of them have cooperated indirectly many times, and in fact, Chi Yue didn't want to enlighten Fumanlou to other countries, but only later learned about the situation of neighboring countries and made up his mind.
And Princess Ning'an is definitely a good business partner, so Chi Yue thinks Princess Ning'an is good, such a good partner, she doesn't want to lose it easily.
The next day, at the banquet of the queen mother, Chi Yue and Princess Ning'an arrived at Fumanlou on time.
Since she knew that Fumanlou was Chi Yue's, the queen smiled and let Chi Yue order to eat, Chi Yue ordered the characteristics of the restaurant, the queen mother was still here for the first time, and she had always heard others say how delicious this Fumanlou was, but the queen had never eaten it, and now she came naturally to taste the dishes here.
"I've heard about the fame of Fumanlou for a long time, and today this is the first time I've come here, and I have a different taste when I smell it."
After speaking, the queen's eyes couldn't help but turn to Chi Yue and opened her mouth curiously.
"Bengong is really curious about how you came up with it, in just a short period of time, the restaurant has been transferred to other countries, it is really amazing, it is enough to see that the taste here is really delicious."
"But I've heard that the raw materials are all to be taken from your hands, so I don't know if it's true or fake."
The queen mother looked at Chi Yue thoughtfully, in fact, she had already taken precautions in her heart, before His Royal Highness King Rong married a civilian woman, the queen mother didn't think there was anything, but Chi Yue has such a big family business here, for His Royal Highness King Rong, it is a big help.
If you really marry His Royal Highness King Rong, it will be troublesome to raise tigers when the time comes.
The queen wanted to use Chi Yue to deal with Princess Ning'an, but after seeing such a big family business as Fumanlou, she became vigilant again.
In fact, the queen mother and the emperor have the same thoughts, on the one hand, they want to use His Royal Highness King Rong, and on the other hand, they have to find a way to guard against His Royal Highness King Rong, Princess Ning'an saw the defense in the eyes of the queen mother, and naturally understood what the reason was.
After all, the relationship between His Royal Highness King Rong and the emperor is still very tense, and the imperial power is like this, once someone has the ability to endanger the imperial power, the emperor will not think much about it, and will regard that person as an enemy.
At this time, the emperor doesn't care whether you are loyal or not, those emperors don't care about it at all, in the end, people are still selfish, after all, the emperor's first consideration is whether his position is firm.
Chi Yue didn't see the deep meaning in the queen's eyes, but Princess Ning'an was the first to speak.
"The queen is right, the raw materials are to be bought from Chi Yue, but the reason why Fumanlou can be opened all over the country at such a fast speed is because the restaurant is funded by us ourselves, and what we earn is our own silver, and Chi Yue is to make some material money."
When the queen mother heard this, she didn't know how to do business, but she didn't know anything, and she could manage the entire harem.
"You guys make money by yourself, Chi Yue just makes some material money, how can you say this!"
Princess Ning'an didn't hide it, after all, this kind of thing was known as soon as it was investigated, and she explained it at the moment.
"We belong to joining, and the word franchise is only known after I did Fumanlou, speaking of which, Miss Chi Yue is really a talent, and she can actually think of such a method."
"In fact, we pay a franchise fee, let people learn how to cook, and then build a restaurant in the style of Fumanlou, these are our own money, the franchise fee is equivalent to the silver for people to learn how to cook, and everything else is our own money, so Chi Yue can only earn a material fee, and other things are our own things."
The queen mother immediately understood, just to earn a little material fee, that should not be much silver, but because there are more Fumanlou, then there should be a lot of money, but it is definitely not to the point of being guarded.
The vigilance in the queen's eyes disappeared at this time, and she returned to her previous amiable appearance, as if the suspicion just now had not happened at all.
But I don't doubt Chi Yue, but now Princess Ning'an is helping Chi Yue speak, if Chi Yue can't answer the question tomorrow, it won't be good, this Princess Ning'an is worthy of being in business, and she really can talk.
These words can also be explained by Chi Yue herself, but Princess Ning'an jumped out at this time and helped Chi Yue speak, and Chi Yue would be in trouble if she had a good impression of Princess Ning'an.
The queen didn't let the two of them meet in private, because she was afraid that Chi Yue would take the initiative to show compassion to Ning Angong, and she would deliberately not be able to answer the question when the time came, so wouldn't Dasheng Guo want to show weakness to its neighbors.
The moment with a majestic opening.
"Princess Ning'an is also powerful, she has opened Fumanlou all over her country in a short period of time, this courage is really powerful, and this palace is not as good as Princess Ning'an."
"But Princess Ning'an is still very good, she has an enlightened father, unlike our Dasheng Kingdom, as a queen or princess, you can't go out to do business."
The queen mother knows the situation of the neighboring country, and now that she says so, the meaning is already obvious, that is, the neighboring country is already poor and let a princess go out to show her face, which shows how poor the neighboring country has become.
Princess Ning'an's expression remained unchanged and chuckled.
"It's my father who is more favored, this princess has liked to do business since she was a child, and at the beginning, she secretly went out to do business without telling her father, and her father used to eat more and oppose it, and even felt that this princess had no silver, so she actually directly allocated the silver to me, think about it, my father really loves me, in order to do so much."
The queen mother opened her mouth to ridicule the poverty of the neighboring country, and actually let the princess of a country show her head, so Princess Ning'an followed the words of the queen mother, and said that it was because her father favored her as a daughter, so she was allowed to do business on a special basis.
This can be seen how much the emperor loves this daughter.
