Chapter 168 Donate one penny for every cup sold!
Xiao Yunzhou's words stunned the cabinet's Fu Cha, the Ministry of Revenue, and the Imperial Kitchen.
"Royal... milk tea shop?"
They understood every word.
But put them together, they couldn't understand a bit.
"The emperor wants to do business? Officials don't compete with the people for profit, let alone the emperor?" Fu Cha was the first to object.
Xiao Yunzhou waved his hand, that was already old news.
Who said that the royal family can't do business.
"What do you mean I compete with the people for profit?"
"My Jingguo money bank, my official salt, are they competing for profit?"
Fu Cha was stunned by the question.
Xiao Yunzhou shrugged, "You can't think of it, I thought of it, I can only lead some people to get rich first."
"!"
"..."
The entire Imperial Study was silent because of Xiao Yunzhou's pretentious words.
Now Jingguo is different from before - the emperor, Xiao Yunzhou, has understood what commodity economy is.
"Only by making money make money can the people of Jingguo become rich!"
"I ate those 500 cattle and sheep, and you ate them, but the people didn't get a penny. This is called competing with the people for profit!"
"I let them make money to make the people rich, do you understand?"
Xiao Yunzhou is now very reasonable, and he doesn't hesitate to teach the cabinet Fu Cha Lord.
"So, Your Majesty, this milk tea..." When Jiang Li, the Minister of Revenue, heard about making money, his eyes were already shining.
Soon, Xiao Yunzhou asked Wei Zheng to prepare something for them to taste.
"This is the delicious snack that the little princess found when she was playing."
"It's just the beginning of spring, and fruits are scarce. Only the palace has some tribute." Xiao Yunzhou said and looked at Jiang Li, "But it's going to be spring soon, so let fruit farmers in various places increase high-quality production as soon as possible. Those nearby can send fresh fruits to the capital, and those far away can open fruit tea shops in the local area."
Jiang Li, the Minister of Revenue, drooled when he heard it, "Great, great!"
The cattle and sheep transported by Wu Yunguo were useful, and the milk they produced was used for milk tea.
Then, it led the tea merchants, tea farmers, fruit farmers, and fruit merchants of Jingguo to become rich together!
How could this be a simple snack shop?
"The milk tea shop that the little princess came up with directly revitalized the lives of the four groups of tea merchants, tea farmers, fruit farmers, and fruit merchants in Jingguo!"
There may also be porters and peddlers who transport tea, vegetables and fruits to Beijing. If they plan well, a small cup of milk tea can feed countless people.
"The little princess is really smart." Jiang Li flattered willingly.
The corners of Fucha's mouth twitched when he heard it.
But Xiao Yunzhou was still very proud and nodded, "Isn't it? She just pushed Minpin's spoon and made milk tea, hehe."
As he said, he looked at the steward of the imperial kitchen.
The Imperial Kitchen Manager Liao blushed immediately, "I'm incompetent..."
"That's what I said, but I know you're not convinced." Xiao Yunzhou stood up and approached, "Well, I have another task for you."
"On the way back to the palace from the Beijing suburbs, I heard a commoner talking about pancakes and fried dough sticks."
Xiao Yunzhou was thinking about what the little princess wanted to eat.
I have milk tea.
I have roast duck.
They all tasted very good, and the pancakes and fried dough sticks must be good too.
"The latter seems to be fried dough, and the former seems to be something wrapped in a pancake."
"There is also tofu pudding, which is said to be scooped out hot, like a piece of snow, with two flavors of salty and sweet. You can also study it."
Xiao Yunzhou said, and imagined.
This tofu pudding, the little princess can eat it even if she has no teeth.
The elderly and children among the people must also like it.
In the future, we can open a royal breakfast shop...
"Imperial Kitchen, you guys should get it done earlier, let me see your ability."
Manager Liao was sweating and his back was stiff.
Youtiao?
Where is this food?
How come he has never heard of it.
But the emperor said there is, so he has to make it!
"I will study it as soon as possible and not let the emperor down."
Xiao Yunzhou hummed, and finally looked up at the cabinet and the Ministry of Revenue.
"This milk tea shop was thought up by the little princess. You adults can't compete with children for credit. In the future, when this milk tea shop makes a profit, how much do you think should be given to the little princess?"
"???"
"!"
...
Opening a milk tea shop is much easier than Jingguo Money Bank, and there are not too many complicated techniques.
The imperial kitchen sent a master who is good at tea and snacks to ask Concubine Liu and Concubine Min about the taste of milk tea that day, and he roughly knew it in his mind, and refined the ratio of milk to various teas and sugar, and determined more than a dozen small ingredients that can be added.
The names of several milk teas were also given by the cabinet's Shen Mian, the second assistant, the top scholar of that year.
Soon, the capital of Jingguo was quietly opened overnight.
At the same time, next to the milk tea shop, a breakfast shop with the size of the imperial character was opened.
For a moment, the people in the capital of Jingguo were dumbfounded.
"Royal milk tea shop?"
"Imperial breakfast shop?"
What is this?
The emperor has also started doing business?
But soon, the faces of the people were not angry but happy.
A red list was posted outside the milk tea shop, and the Ministry of Households still sent a special person to explain it.
"Dear uncles and aunts, young talents..."
"The royal milk tea shop uses a batch of milk and goat milk that Wu Yunguo Khan has recently sent to Jingguo."
Everyone understood as soon as they heard it. This is a tribute, and the emperor took it out to share with them!
The emperor is kind-hearted!
The faces of the people all had smiles.
But the official at the door had not finished speaking, "And the tea used in this milk tea is produced by tea farmers in the Liangcheng and Mingshan areas who are poor and whose tea sales were not good last year. The emperor saw the hardship of the tea farmers. In order to improve their lives, the imperial court purchased large quantities and opened this milk tea shop to provide tea farmers with a guarantee in the future."
When the people in the capital heard this, they were stunned.
The surrounding farmers who went to the city to go to the market were even more unable to move.
"What? The tea farmers couldn't sell the tea, so the emperor bought it? The emperor bought it?"
"Is there such a good thing?"
"Then we won't be able to sell our vegetables?"
"We have a lot of cabbage!"
The official from the Ministry of Household Affairs at the door of the milk tea shop was dumbfounded. He looked at the old man carrying two loads of cabbage and said, "Brother, don't worry."
“I am a tea farmer now, but I will be something else in the future.”
"The Emperor will definitely find a way so that everyone can eat and make money!"
[Oh, Uncle Jiang Li is really good at getting things done. The person at the door of this milk tea shop is very talkative. 】
Xiao Chuchu was taken out by Xiao Yunzhou again and paid a private visit incognito.
Sure enough, as soon as she thought this, the common people and farmers in front of the milk tea shop who were originally reluctant to accept the emperor's sales were all a little excited.
"Then let's just wait!"
"After the tea farmers, please remember to ask the emperor to arrange for our cabbage."
"Oh, then we have to support this milk tea."
Some people in the capital who live relatively well-off lives are ready to pay to try it.
The official at the door of the milk tea shop smiled gently, pointed to the red list at the door of the shop, and said,
"From now on, for every cup of milk tea sold in this milk tea shop, the imperial court will allocate one penny to support local tea farmers to cultivate tea leaves with better color, aroma and taste."
“Every month in the future, we will announce the amount of funding and where it will go.”
"!"
"!!"
The people and farmers were all stunned.
Even the passing pair of 'beautiful and talented man' and the little maid stopped in shock and their eyes were shocked when they heard this.
In dramas, there are always only corrupt officials who covet people's money and rice.
When will the imperial court take the initiative to pay for it, fall it on an individual, and then make it public to the people? !
[Hey, this is modern charity]
Xiao Chuchu nodded repeatedly.
[Hey, the system said that the collection progress of Chu Sisters’ Flowers has increased by 4%? 】
Xiao Yunzhou suddenly raised his head and looked to the left and right.
