Chapter 124 Eating

"Emperor, the most lively place in Daxing County is ahead!"

Zhang Jing sat on the shaft of the carriage and smiled at Zhu Yijun inside the carriage.

After lifting the curtain of the car, Zhu Yijun looked outside and found that it was really lively. Because it was close enough to the capital, and with it being Chixian, which is attached to the capital city, it naturally has more advantages than other places.

Since the Yuan Dynasty, Daxing County was the Dadu County of Yuan Dynasty, which was affiliated with Guochi County and belonged to Dadu Road.

In the early Ming Dynasty, Daxing County was under the jurisdiction of Beiping Prefecture. When Beiping Prefecture was changed to Shuntian Prefecture, Daxing belonged to it. In the 19th year of Yongle in the Ming Dynasty, the capital was moved to Beijing, and Daxing was Yiguojing County. At that time, the capital was expanded and Daxing County was completely included in the scope of the capital.

Although there is a small county town, it is already the capital.

Although the small county town was preserved, it actually had no practical significance. Daxing was still a county supporting the Shuntian Prefecture.

Zhu Yijun chose to implement the civil service system in Daxing County, which is actually related to this. The relationship between Daxing and the capital is not far away, and it is really suitable to say that it is not in progress. Once Daxing takes effect, he can promote it to Shuntian Prefecture.

After getting off the carriage, Zhu Yijun started strolling with Zhang Jing and others.

In fact, although it is quite lively, it is still much worse than that of the capital. In the Ming Dynasty, Daxing was already the suburbs of Beijing, but after all, it is a county and there are still many people living in it.

Zhu Yijun didn't feel tired when he was walking around, but he felt quite relish.

Since he traveled through time, he has been busy for more than ten years. It is really the first time he has come out to walk around like now.

"Your Majesty, let's find a place to eat!" Zhang Jing looked up at the sky and found that it was almost noon. He couldn't help but speak to Zhu Yijun, "I see there is a restaurant in front of me, it looks good."

Zhu Yijun looked in the direction Zhang Jing pointed at and found a restaurant not far away.

The two-story building along the street is now at mealtime, so it looks quite lively.

After looking at Zhang Jing, Zhu Yijun said angrily: "That's the restaurant of your Dongchang? Are those who come in and out? Are they not the people arranged by your Dongchang?"

Zhang Jing shook his head awkwardly and said, "You can't hide anything from the emperor. That's indeed the restaurant of the Dongchang. However, those people were not arranged by me, so I dare not deceive the emperor and the emperor!"

Zhang Jing knew very well about Zhu Yijun's bottom line. It doesn't matter that the restaurant is from Dongchang. After all, for the sake of the emperor's safety, it is acceptable to go to Dongchang's restaurant for dinner. But if everyone is replaced by Dongchang and act in front of the emperor, Zhang Jing would not have the courage to do it.

Because Zhang Jing knew that if he really did this, he would be done.

Zhu Yijun nodded and his expression calmed down: "Okay, I've been walking for a whole morning and I'm hungry, so let's go there for dinner! Let me try your Dongchang's craftsmanship, but I have heard that this Dongchang restaurant is quite famous."

Zhang Jing hurriedly led the way in front and said flatteringly: "The people below are not aware of it, they are just swearing."

As for why Dongchang opened a restaurant here, Zhu Yijun knew it very well. He put all the civil servants and reforms here, so it was normal for Dongchang to keep an eye on it. Although he trusted Xu Wenchang and Hai Rui, this was Dongchang's responsibility.

When the group entered the restaurant, Zhu Yijun found that it was quite lively. It seemed that Dongchang’s meals were very good, but it was not a false statement!

Seeing that Zhang Jing was going to greet the private room, Zhu Yijun waved his hand and found a corner to sit down: "Since you are coming out, don't lock yourself up anymore. It's lively and popular, it's pretty good."

After Zhu Yijun said this, Zhang Jing naturally didn't dare to say it. He hurriedly asked Zhang He behind him to serve him, and he went to watch the cooking himself.

I was bored, Zhu Yijun sat there drinking tea, his eyes swept through the lobby, wanting to see if there were any interesting things or interesting people. Soon Zhu Yijun discovered an interesting person, an old man in his fifties.

He was drinking there with his head shaking his head, looking leisurely and contented.

"Go and invite that person over here!" Zhu Yijun ordered Zhang He beside him: "Just say I'll invite him to drink!"

The old man was very happy. After receiving the invitation, he came to Zhu Yijun with his wine pot and his wine glass. He smiled and bowed to Zhu Yijun, and then sat down opposite Zhu Yijun.

Zhang Jing had prepared the dishes at this time, and the old man was not polite, so he picked up a chopstick and put it in his mouth.

Then his eyes lit up, he took a sip of wine, and then he spoke, "Isn't the owner of this shop?"

Zhu Yijun didn't care about the old man's performance, but just held the tea cup and sipped the tea, smiling at the old man. When the old man spoke, Zhu Yijun put down the tea cup in his hand and asked with a smile: "How can I see it?"

"I've been here for so long. The food has never been so delicious. Look at the appearance of these guys and look at the careful posture of the shopkeeper Qian over there, it's not difficult to guess."

Zhu Yijun immediately smiled and said to the old man: "Sir, I have such a good eye. I am indeed the owner of this shop. I wonder what sir is calling me?"

"Old Hermits!"

Zhu Yijun smiled and bowed, "It turns out it's Mr. Qiu. I'm lucky to meet you, and I'm in Xiabai Zhantang."

"What do you want to ask? For the sake of this wine, ask!" Qiu Li nodded, lowered his head to eat, and said to Zhu Yijun.

"How do you know I have something to ask for in detail?"

Mr. Yau curled his lips and said, "Who would invite others to dinner if you are fine? You should be a noble person. If you want to come here, you will naturally have something to ask. But you have a shop here, and they don't know what they want to ask, and I can't guess what you want to ask."

"Then I won't go around the corner!" Zhu Yijun nodded and said with a smile: "I heard that the county magistrate of Daxing County is Hai Rui?"

"Do you know Hai Rui too?" Yau was stunned, then asked with a smile.

Zhu Yijun nodded: "Of course, no one has ever heard of Hai Rui's name, it is definitely well-known!"

"It's Hai Rui!" Qiu Li said in admiration: "I heard that Hai Rui has the name of the blue sky before, but I didn't realize that there would be anything. There are many people in this world who are famous and unreal. Besides, this official can do it without being greedy."

"When Hai Rui first came to the county government office, something happened, and many yamen runners stopped doing it."

"At that time, I thought Hai Rui was just like this. Although the clerks were not good, what should I do if I lost them? Unexpectedly, when civil servants came later, Hai Rui really managed Daxing County."

Zhu Yijun immediately became interested and asked with a smile: "Sir, please tell me carefully!"

Seeing Zhu Yijun looking interested, the old man started talking.

"If you want to say what Hai Rui did before, it is in line with the praise of his honest officials. You can clean up the backlog of cases and make decisions for the people. You don't want to eat or take them. You have opened up several clerks in the yamen and punished the bullies on the street."

"It's just that the good times didn't last long. A lot of yamen run away in the county yamen, and several clerks stayed at home to pretend to be sick."

"If it were Hai Rui when he was young, maybe he wouldn't have anything left. He could do it himself. I've heard that he used to do most of the yamen alone, but now he's old."

"I'm still thinking about how long Hai Rui will be tired and fall into office, but who would have thought that those civil servants would come later?"

"Although these people are young, they can't handle many things, but with Hai Rui teach them, they are familiar with them quickly. It took only a long time for Daxing County to be different. The bullies on the street arrested the verdict, and these civil servants did not eat and did not charge money, and were busy with their affairs all day long."

"I don't have any official power and no airs. I don't know how many times stronger than the previous clerks."

"The Yangjianyuan has been opened, and many elderly people who are not young have been taken over. I heard that the food is pretty good. I heard that there are still many civil servants going to the countryside, claiming to travel every inch of the mountains and rivers of Daxing County."

"What I didn't expect most was that those civil servants could still farm. They brought the people who could not help farming. I lived so old and had never seen it before. Maybe this was a great cure!"

Zhu Yijun listened to the words of Aoi, but he had some conspiracy in his heart.

If things have come to this point, then we can proceed to the next step, give Daxing a pillar industry, start to enrich them, and implement a new commercial tax policy. Before collecting land tax, we can collect the commercial tax first.

Relying on Daxing’s leading industries is not enough to enrich the people and requires new economic growth points.

As Ao Li said, Zhu Yijun listened, the meal was very harmonious. It was not until after eating that Ao Li said, "I know you are a noble person, and I don't know what you are asking about these things, but what I want to tell you is to be kind."

"It is not easy for the people to live such a life. For the people who are prosperous, think more."

Looking at the Ao Li who was leaving drunk, Zhu Yijun sighed, stood up and said to Zhang Jing, "Let's go, let's go to Daxing County Office!"

At this time, the Daxing County Government was also having lunch, and there were crowds of people in the kitchen.

The creativity of this kitchen is still based on the martial arts hall, a large room, long tables, chairs, benches, and a large pot of dishes made by the chef at the window. No one has a wooden plate, so he can eat anything to eat.

"What should I have for lunch today?" Xu Wenchang came to the window with a tray and greeted the chef inside with a smile.

"Rice, pancakes, and steamed buns!" the chef said with a smile: "As for the dishes, there are two, fried potato slices and green radish soup."

Xu Wen nodded long. He had long been accustomed to the food in the kitchen. After all, Hai Rui always gave him so much money. He only ate meat every seven days, and usually carrots and vegetables. This was the result of his own efforts, otherwise it would become a meal of meat every month.
