Chapter 310: Get your troops together and I’ll go meet them!

It was just after noon when Emperor Hongzhi came. By the time his dishes were served one after another, and by the time he was slowly and satiated, everyone in the restaurant had already left.

The busy restaurant became deserted, and several waiters were cleaning up the messy cups on the table.

Zhu Youtang covered his sleeves, wiped his mouth with a handkerchief, and greeted Xiao Jing: "Waiter, check out!"

"Hey, here we come."

One of the waiters responded and hurriedly ran over with a warm smile on his face, "Dear guest, how is your meal?"

Zhu Youtang nodded slightly and said with a smile: "Yes, your food is quite delicious."

"No, I'm not bragging to you. Even the royal dishes that the emperor eats are not as delicious as our dishes."

After saying that, the waiter paused for a moment and then continued: "Don't believe it, even the emperor and his elders have never eaten the stew that our distinguished guest just had. Do you believe it or not?"

"."

Zhu Youtang was silent for a while and said: "Trust."

He has never tasted it before, and the food in this restaurant is indeed more delicious than the royal meal in the palace.

Then he frowned and asked: "I want to ask you, how are you sure that the royal cuisine in this palace is not as good as the dishes in your hotel?"

"It's not that it can't be compared. What I'm talking about is the taste. Although the royal meal in the palace is exquisite, the taste is ordinary."

Hearing this, Emperor Hongzhi was extremely surprised, and then asked: "Have you ever eaten the royal meal in the palace?"

"Your distinguished guest is really good at joking. How can I be so lucky? I haven't eaten it, but my boss must have."

"My boss?"

"hold head high."

The waiter straightened his back and said with pride on his face, "The villain's boss is quite famous. No one in the eastern suburbs doesn't know it. He is Mr. Xia. Do you know Mr. Xia?"

"Know."

"It's easy to handle if you know. And that's not all. His Royal Highness has come to eat our dishes. He just came to eat them two days ago."

"." Emperor Hongzhi suddenly realized that since the prince had eaten it, the taste of the royal meal was ordinary, so this boy must have been the one who shouted out.

"Is the business of your restaurant always so good?"

"Not only our restaurant, but the rest of the restaurants in the eastern suburbs are also doing booming business. They are full of customers every day. There are also teahouses and cloth shops, all of which are doing booming business."

"Why is this?"

"What other reason could there be? These shops are all opened by Mr. Xia. Everyone is willing to spend money in these places, and they also have money in their pockets."

Hearing this, Zhu Youtang was confused. He really didn't expect that all the shops in the eastern suburbs belonged to that kid.

Give out the money as wages, and then earn it back through doing business.

Is this bitch's calculations too precise?

"Take the small ones as an example. A month's wages are one or two and a half cents. If you put them in other places, where can you find such high wages? I'm afraid you won't be able to earn a few taels of silver a year.

This man is willing to spend money when he has money, not to mention that it is the Chinese New Year these days and his wages are tripled. This business is surprisingly good."

After saying that, the waiter raised his smile again and said: "Honored guest, sincere favor, we collect a total of six hundred and twenty-seven dollars, and the twenty-seven dollars will be wiped out by the little boy. You can just give me six hundred dollars."

"Six hundred dollars is quite affordable." Emperor Hongzhi winked at Xiao Jing, Xiao Banban took out a money bag from his arms and took out a piece of broken silver weighing about one or two pounds, "Here."

The waiter at the shop took it, turned it in his palm, and took out a bunch of tools from his arms, such as scales, scissors, and pliers.

Before he even started weighing, Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and said, "That's all. If there's more, I'll treat it as your reward. I've spent a long time talking to you, but it's also wasted your time."

Hearing this, the smile on the waiter's face became real. He nodded and bowed and said: "Thank you, distinguished guest. Thank you, distinguished guest. I wish you a long and prosperous life!"

The corner of Emperor Hongzhi's eyes twitched, "The Dukes and Lords will live forever, these words sound really unlucky."

At this time, forty-five kilns have been built in the cement kiln factory. Just to the east of the shipyard, a large area is surrounded by a courtyard wall, and there are thousands of people working around it.

Some were wielding hammers to smash the transported limestone, while others were pushing carts loaded with coal to transport to the kiln.

It was so lively and lively that Emperor Hongzhi came rushing towards the cement dust. He watched those people throwing stones for a while, and then followed those pushing the coal carts, intending to enter the kiln to take a look.

At the gate of the kiln factory, several men were guarding there. The coal trucks went in quite smoothly, but when it was their turn, they were blocked at the gate.

Xia Yuan had also just returned from the imperial edict and was inspecting the newly poured cement floor with a large bowl in his hand. Zhu Houzhao was also holding a large bowl with meat on top and white rice on the bottom.

Eat on the go.

At this moment, a man ran over quickly and shouted: "Master, Your Highness, this is terrible, someone is making trouble in the kiln factory!"

Upon hearing this, Zhu Houzhao was immediately angry, "You are so outrageous, you dare to cause trouble in the eastern suburbs, you are so arrogant!"

As he said this, he wanted to throw down the big celadon bowl in his hand and have a rice bowl to add to the atmosphere, but then he remembered that the rice was not finished yet, so he held it back.

Xia Yuan just frowned, "What's the trouble?"

"That group of people insisted on entering the kiln, but our people were not allowed to enter. They even let the master and the prince pass. After a back and forth, they started to cause trouble, and the group even showed off their knives."

"You dare to bring a knife?" Zhu Houzhao was furious, "Go, gather all the soldiers and horses, and bring the guys to do something. I'm going to meet them!"

The man was stunned. Where are the soldiers and horses?

Xia Yuan's expression also darkened, "Didn't you hear that? What are you doing in a daze? Go, quickly gather people and call all the guards from the East Palace. You dare to show your sword, you are going against the grain."

With an order, the Dong Palace guards stationed in the eastern suburbs were called over. Xia Yuan and Zhu Houzhao, a group of hundreds of people, carried bowls and led the group towards the kiln factory.

If it is just an ordinary trouble, but you dare to show your knife, what is the nature of this?

When we arrived at the kiln, the place was already completely surrounded, with many strong men throwing rocks surrounding the group.

There are three floors inside and three floors outside. You can't see what's going on inside, you can only hear the noise inside.

"Bold! What do you want to do? If you blind your eyes, even my master would dare to offend!"

"What are you shouting for! You, an old bastard, speak the most rudely among all these people. I think you are blind! You don't even look at where this place is. You actually dare to cause trouble here. Just wait, wait."

His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Mr. Xia are coming over to see how they deal with you."

"Tell them to come here quickly."

"Hehe, you are quite a tough man. Just wait, you will cry later."

Listening to the noise inside, Xia Yuan always felt that the voices there were familiar. Before he had time to think about it, Zhu Houzhao was already angry. The man with the sharp voice was bold enough to speak, and there was actually a master who didn't know how to live or die.

Tell me and the master to get over quickly.

"Bold, so bold! Open the door for me, let me go in and teach these dogs a lesson!"

Seeing that the person coming was His Highness the Crown Prince, the onlookers quickly moved out of the way, and Zhu Houzhao walked in holding a bowl.

He walked with his head held high, striding like a meteor, and with a majestic air. When he saw the troublemaker surrounded inside, and when he met the eyes of Emperor Hongzhi there, Zhu Houzhao suddenly stopped in his steps.

"Why are you stopping? Let's go"

Xia Yuan followed him and was about to ask him why he stopped, but he saw the people there and stopped asking immediately.
