Princess of the auxiliary country

"Everyone should try these dishes and drinks."

Huo Junyao greeted, and Emperor Zhaowu took the lead in moving his chopsticks, followed by everyone else.

"Come, Your Majesty, the Queen, and try this new dish."

As he said that, Huo Junyao stretched out his hand and slowly turned the table, and saw that the dishes were also turning.

This scene made Emperor Zhaowu and others a little surprised.

"Can this table also rotate? This is very convenient."

Huo Jinyan was a little surprised, and his brother-in-law Lu Tingfeng looked at the table curiously.

"It's more convenient. You can just turn it yourself if you want to eat whatever dish you want."

Everyone nodded repeatedly. This was indeed very convenient. Unlike in the past, when there were too many dishes and the table was too big, many of the dishes you wanted to eat could only be looked at.

After all, there are a lot of etiquette that need to be said at the dinner table, especially for banquets and the like.

He is even more reserved and doesn't have anything to do with it. He just stands up to pick up food.

It's not good to ask the maids to help with the dishes. After all, you have to follow the rules and etiquette. If you can be like a foodie, I'm afraid you will be laughed at.

So many times the dishes at banquets are just a formality, and you only eat very little.

Just when they were satisfied with their food and drink, the shopkeeper announced the opening of the restaurant on the first and second floors below.

Guess riddles, write poems, or pair pairs, flying flower orders, etc.

The winners were all happy, and the place was filled with excitement and laughter.

As for the private room, it is naturally the same, there are activities.

"It's quite lively down there."

Emperor Zhaowu heard the movement downstairs and spoke with a smile.

"There are some small activities in the restaurant, such as quizzes and so on. Since it is open, it is very lively and lively."

Everyone nodded, but they were not too curious about what was going on below and wanted to take a look.

After all, the status is here. If the emperor and empress go down, the atmosphere will probably not be lively.

After finishing the meal, Huo Junyao asked someone to prepare tea, using a glass set, as well as after-dinner fruits and so on.

Then he invited them to play in the chess and card room.

The group of people had a great time.

The guests on the first and second floors below were also enjoying themselves. When people left, people came, and it was quite lively with people coming and going.

As for the people on the second and third floors, they are also very satisfied with the food and wine of Shiweitian Restaurant. Although the minimum consumption of a private room is ten dollars, you can order food, drinks, etc., as well as high-quality tea and so on.

I ate, drank and enjoyed myself, and no one thought anything of it. On the contrary, I thought the food was really good.

"I don't know what's going on on the fifth floor? I'm actually going to start with Bai Guan."

"I'm not sure about this, but the emperor has said that it must be extraordinary."

Everyone was also quite curious.

"Then if we have free time some other time, let's go up and have a look?"

"sure."

Most of the people who can go to the third and fourth floors are powerful people and wealthy businessmen. Although there are many money, it is nothing to them.

On this day, people come and go at Shiweitian Restaurant, and everyone who goes there will say hello.

The food and wine are delicious and great value for money.

Soon Shiweitian's reputation slowly spread. In the future, many people will come to eat in Shiweitian, and the third and fourth floors will also receive some people every day.

There will even be people going up to the fifth floor.

Immediately after someone climbed up to the fifth floor and saw the glass gadgets, chess and cards and other services, the publicity spread.

Many people were shocked and couldn't believe it at all.

Glass bowls and plates, this experience is too exaggerated.

But people who had seen it swore that there were many people on the fifth floor.

Anyone who has been to the fifth floor will be shocked when they come out.

In addition to these, the rotating table and the comfortable chair have also been spread.

Many people have begun to imitate it. Some restaurants in the capital and even their own homes still have such tables and chairs.

It can be said that Huo Junyao started a big trend.

And under such a popular situation, Huo Junyao's daily income is also quite considerable.

As for those who work in restaurants, their wages are also very considerable, and everyone is happy anyway.

As for making trouble, there is no need to worry at all. No one dares to go to Shiweitian Restaurant to cause trouble.

Just kidding, that's a restaurant owned by Princess Zhaode. Who dares to mess with someone who is just waiting?
Even some people with high status did not dare to do so. After all, the emperor and empress had gone to the platform in person. Going there to cause trouble was not to give the emperor or empress face.

Therefore, even if the prince and the king of Qi went there, they were very calm.

While Huo Junyao was making a lot of money, he was still doing glass making.

On the third day after Emperor Zhaowu returned, he had already sorted out a good trade plan for wealthy merchants.

Fang Qiao, Huo Jingzhi, Shen Huan, Meng Xuancheng and others were also invited to discuss.

Everyone has always agreed with this plan. After all, it is indeed a good plan.

As for who should be arranged to go, this matter caused quite a stir.

As Emperor Zhaowu explained in the court, the ministers in the court immediately divided into three waves.

In the first wave, they naturally felt that this method was very good and needed to be managed by the Imperial Household Department. Among them, Chen Hua, the Minister of Household Affairs, was the most cheerful.

Just kidding, this is a good thing to make money, it must be handed over to the Ministry of Accounts.

The second wave was that people headed by the clan said that this should be handed over to the royal family. After all, the royal family also needed to feed a lot of people, and the imperial court already had the Ministry of Household Taxation.

The left and right Ministry of Household Affairs will allocate funds to the internal funds every year. It is better to hand over this business directly to the internal funds. In the future, the Ministry of Accounts will not need to allocate funds to the internal funds, and let the internal funds and the funds of the Ministry of Households be funded directly and independently.

The third wave is made up of some old antiques. They feel that the imperial court's business is really unsightly and a sign of self-destruction. They should not compete with the people for profit. Anyway, they disagree with this matter for various reasons.

For a while, Emperor Zhaowu also had a headache.

The first two options are quite reasonable. There is nothing wrong with the Ministry of Accounts being the purse strings of the court and responsible for making money and so on.

The second one is also reasonable. Although this business is profitable, it is hard to say how much it will be, but it is definitely not as good as the tax revenue. Anyway, the Ministry of Household Affairs has to allocate internal funds every year. It is better to just let the internal funds work on their own and make money. Making more money comes from internal funds.

This makes sense.

As for the third one, Emperor Zhaowu simply ignored it. What the hell, he knew it was beneficial and still organized it with some messy principles. It was simply a brain defect.

For this reason, we argued for a long time, and finally Huo Jingzhi suggested that the matter should be distributed according to shares.

The household department and the internal funds each have 50%. As for management, Emperor Zhaowu will let him find his confidants. After all, this is not only about making money, but also about collecting intelligence from other countries.

Of course, Emperor Zhaowu didn't say anything about gathering intelligence in the court, he just said that he wanted to make money from abroad to enrich the country.
