Although it is not enough for pedestrians to avoid the princess's carriage, there are still a lot of people in the car with the maids and servants in the back, and the accompanying guards.
And Changyu is not someone who would wrong him, so as long as he has the heart, it is not difficult to track her whereabouts.
Those who are more capable can even find out what she eats and how much she spends for every meal outside.
The censor felt that Princess Changyu wasted too much. As the princess of Dajin, she should respond to the emperor's call to be diligent and thrifty, but she ended up wasting so much.
As far as he knew, only a few months after her marriage, Princess Changyu visited all the restaurants in the capital, spending a lot of money...
The emperor pursed his lips in displeasure, no one would be happy to be scolded as a daughter in front of so many civil and military people in the Manchu Dynasty.
Advocating frugality is indeed a proposal from him and the empress. For this reason, he reduced the construction of palaces (see the Daming Palace, which has not been repaired for 20 years), and the Daming Palace is still in a state of suspension; Costumes worth a thousand bucks.
Because of the huge cost of the gorgeous cloth brought in from various places, the emperor and empress destroyed a batch in person at the beginning of his accession to the throne, in order to refuse the local donations.
In recent years, the country has been prosperous and the people have been safe, and the local government has only begun to donate it, but the queen never wears it, and it is not even used by princesses and princes. Instead, it is rewarded to people who have made great contributions to the country every year.
For example, during the New Year's Eve just a few months ago, the queen gave it to Mrs. Xiao, the wife of Xiao Yuanzheng; the year before last, she gave it to Princess Hengyang, the wife of General Ashina; wife...
Because the matter involved his daughter, the emperor couldn't speak up to defend his daughter himself, so he glanced at the lovers below, hoping that someone would support his beloved daughter.
Most of the people sat quietly, lowering their eyes to avoid the emperor's gaze.
Zhao Guogong thought about it. After all, Princess Changyu was his cheap niece. She had been raised under his sister's lap for so many years. Every time they met, she sweetly called him uncle, so she took the initiative to come out, saluted with the emperor, and then gave her a sideways glance. The censor said: "Your Majesty, I think that Chen Yushi is too busy to care about what the princess eats and drinks. Why don't you assign him some other errands."
"That's right, Princess Changyu's expenses don't go to the treasury, so you don't care what she eats and drinks, and where she eats and drinks."
Man Bao, who was halfway up, sat back down, intending to wait and see what happened.
Of course Chen Yushi didn't love them, and said with a sneer, "There is no small matter in the Tian family, and Princess Changyu is the daughter of the Tian family, so this is naturally not a private matter."
He also said: "What's more, people in the royal family shouldn't compete with the people for profit. Princess Changyu not only spends a lot, but also meddles in business travel and amassing a lot of money. If this behavior is not stopped, how can she know that she will not seize the power of the country in the future?" fiscal?"
Man Bao was stunned, what did Princess Changyu do
Seeing that no one spoke, and even Zhao Guogong frowned and remained silent, Chen Yushi lashed out at Princess Changyu angrily. Anyway, she is too extravagant and should be banned. Why does she always throw money away when she has food at home
Then what's the matter with the princess of a country intervening in business travel and competing with the people for profit? It should be banned.
Seeing that the situation was not right, Man Bao hurriedly stood up and went out, and after saluting, he asked Chen Yushi, "I don't know what Mr. Chen said about Princess Changyu competing for profit with the people and intervening in business travel?"
Everything else is subsections, what about eating out, who here has never eaten or drank outside
But it is not a good thing to compete with the people for profit and intervene in business travel.
Chen Yushi said with a sullen face: "I heard that Princess Changyu is going to open a Treasure Pavilion, and she announced that she will collect rare treasures in the world. Now the shop has been renovated and will open soon. Your Majesty, this is not appropriate. Please, Your Majesty." Advise Her Majesty the Princess."
Man Bao breathed a sigh of relief, she thought Chang Yu had done something outrageous, didn't she just open a shop
Man Bao glanced at Chen Yushi, saluted the emperor and said, "Your Majesty, I know about this."
The emperor tried his best to suppress his anger, and said calmly: "Oh? Zhou Qingzuo."
Man Bao said calmly, "Princess Changyu's Treasure Pavilion is located in Yongzhou New City."
She said: "Because of the newly built new city, there are few people and fewer shops in it. Princess Mingda owns a street of shops, but now there are only two out of ten shops that can be rented out. Seeing this, Princess Changyu took the initiative to rent one."
The emperor nodded quietly, motioning for Zhou Man to continue.
"At that time, Princess Changyu said that the streets in the new city were spacious and the houses were brand new, so it should not be so deserted, so she decided to set up the rented shop as a treasure pavilion, and put all the rare treasures she thought of in the world for sale in the pavilion, so as to attract people. travelers and merchants."
Chen Yushi: ...
Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs: ...
Man Bao continued to talk nonsense with his pure eyes open, "Your Majesty, in governing a country, a state, a county, or even a township and a mile, the good and bad governance depends mainly on taxation and population. heavy."
"Princess Changyu opened the Treasure Pavilion in the new city, first to attract people, and second, to pay taxes for the Ministry of Households. Why is it not good?"
The emperor nodded and asked Chen Yushi, "Yes, the princess's move is for the development of the new city, why is it not good?"
Chen Yushi: "Your Majesty, Princess Changyu is clearly out for enjoyment. You can tell from the fact that she eats and eats out on the 21st of January..."
Man Bao cut off his words and asked: "Chen Yushi, how many days do you eat out in January? How much does it cost?"
Chen Yushi felt that she was kneeling and licking the royal family and disdain to be with her, so he flicked his sleeves and said: "My salary is meager, my family is poor, and I have no money to spend outside, so I never eat outside."
Man Bao didn't probe into the truth of what he said, and couldn't find out for a while, she nodded and said: "I can understand my lord, your family is poor, and you should be more considerate of your family's meals at home, but Princess Changyu Not poor."
Chen Yushi frowned, and was about to speak at this point, but Man Bao had already continued: "Your Majesty may be poor, but the dowry for Princess Changyu is not dependent on Prince Wei, and it is okay to eat out every now and then."
She looked at the emperor and said: "Your Majesty, as far as I know, Princess Changyu does not eat extravagantly outside. Restaurants like Zhuangyuan Building and Jiufu Building rarely go once or twice a month, and most of the time they are in ordinary restaurants. I eat in the restaurant, and sometimes I eat with relish in the small stalls on the side of the road.”
"Another time, my servant went back and passed by the wonton stall outside the imperial city. Princess Changyu and her son-in-law had dinner there, and they even invited me to a bowl. It only cost thirty-two yuan, which is not extravagant."
Master Wei, who had been keeping his eyes slightly closed, opened them and asked aloud, "Eight Wen for a bowl, why did you ask for thirty-two Wen?"
After a pause, Man Bao answered this question first, "Princess Changyu packed a bowl in a food box after eating. She said it was good, and she will make it for supper tonight."
Ministers of Civil and Military Affairs: ...
emperor:…
Only then did Man Bao continue what he wanted to say, "Besides, I feel that the princess's eating and drinking outside is a matter of great benefit to the people. As Beijing officials, we should be happy and even strongly support it."
