It is November, and the climate in the north is gradually declining. Last year, the hot pot brought by Qian Yuan began to become popular in the capital. Almost every slightly higher-end restaurant has copper hot pot, hot base soup, thin slices of mutton beef, hard frozen tofu, and unbreakable vegetables.

However, those who are feasted or who are not short of money still like to go to Qianjia Restaurant. Although the price is a bit high, the base soup is delicious and the seasonings are diverse. Especially the newly launched shrimp slips make people feel proud, let alone the service is thoughtful... Qian Yuan copied Haidilao by about 30%.

But the best thing is not the Qian family restaurant, but the one produced in the Suiyuan kitchen. It snowed yesterday, and Feng Bao came straight here early this morning, saying that Emperor Jiajing wanted to drink and drink hot pot to enjoy the snow... With this virtue, he also wanted to practice Taoism and become an immortal.

If only Emperor Jiajing was supplied, it would be fine, but not to mention the Twenty-fourth Prison, at least Huang Jin and Feng Bao and the eunuchs would be supplied, and then Yan Shifan, Dong Fen, Zhao Wenhua... Even the Minister of Revenue Fang Dun asked his son to come and rob the portion.

So, Qian Yuan was sorry to send the people from the Xu family away. It was really gone. The capital was filled with hot pot. My father-in-law liked to eat it. He could not finish eating it all day in the whole winter.

"It's really gone." Qian Yuan went back to the house and pointed at the steaming copper hotpot on the table, "The last serving."

"Yeah...oh, it's so hot!" King Yu's hand trembled, and the shrimp slids held by the chopsticks fell under the table. A little black dog jumped out from somewhere and took it away.

"Go and go!" Qian Yuan kicked the puppy away with a light kick. This was my cousin who had only been raising it for a few months, and he also named Luo Dahei...

"Is it really the last one?" Gao Gong said slowly: "Everyone in the capital knows that you beat Xu Fan to death last year..."

"If my brother and sister-in-law hadn't been shocking, Zhan Cai wouldn't have... It would have been so unlucky." Xu Wei gloated on the side, "I pushed Uncle Zhang back a few days ago, and Xu Fan didn't keep his eyes open."

Qian Yuan sat down without any worries, glanced at the shrimp slides that were held up in the hot pot, picked up the chopsticks and poked them like lightning, and deliberately polished the sharp tips of the chopsticks to poke the shrimp slides. This was what he practiced at Doulaofang.

It snowed yesterday, and the Suiyuan was covered in silver. King Yu rarely left his mansion to find Gao Gong. The two of them came to Suiyuan together. It happened that Xu Wei was not on the Xiyuan today and was too lazy to go to the Hanlin Academy to order Mao. The four of them sat down and ate hot hotpot, chatting while enjoying the snow.

"It is natural for Yu Dayou to be transferred to the general of Zhejiang." Gao Gong had no influence on everything in the southeast, but he was very concerned about it. "But Qi Jiguang was promoted very quickly, and he was just a guerrilla three years ago."

This is reasonable. Yu Dayou made his mark as early as the 14th year of Jiajing. He became a general in the 28th year of Jiajing. He has experienced many qualifications and has made many military achievements. Qi Jiguang remained unknown until he won two small victories in Taizhou at the beginning of this year, and he became famous because of Qian Yuan's strong promotion in Beijing.

"Actually, Yu Dayou and Qi Yuanjing are a bit similar." Xu Wei stopped chopsticks, "They are both generals and have ambitions since childhood. They not only study military books hard, but also can recite poems and essays. They are also good at training troops and planning battles."

After a pause, Xu Wei glanced at Qian Yuan, "If it comes to training troops, I am afraid that Qi Yuanjing is still above Yu Dayou. He will win every battle in Taizhou this time. The Japanese pirates have almost no strength to fight back, and then went out to sea to defeat the Japanese pirates again."

"Qi Yuanjing's poems and prose are quite strong, and there is the sound of Yan and Zhao." Qian Yuan chanted in a man's voice: "Xiao Zhu is temporarily high, and he is worried that there is an old alliance. He called the jar to greet the guests, waved the steed to talk about war. The clouds protect the toothpicks, and the stars are full of swords. It is not my intention to be a marquis, but I hope the sea waves are calm."

"Four years ago, the Japanese pirates attacked Dengzhou, Shandong. Qi Yuanjing held the city for several days and suddenly led his troops to fight, killing more than a hundred Japanese pirates, and wrote this five-character poem that night."

King Yu was only concerned about eating. He liked shrimp slips the most, and Gao Gong chanted in a low voice, with admiration on his face.

"This time in the Japanese riot in the southeast, Lu Tong was defeated and Liu Yuan fled. Liu Xian tried his best to support him, but only two good generals, one south and one north, were quite successful. Your Majesty clearly saw Wanli."

Qian Yuan was in a good mood today. Although Yu Dayou was reluctant to go south to support Jiaxing in time during this invasion of the Japanese pirates, he often won in Susong area. Among them, Ye Zongman was defeated in Qingpu and was able to get a bargain.

Later, Yu Dayou led his troops south and met the main Japanese pirates who retreated to the east near Jiashan County. Half a day after the confrontation between the two sides, Yu Dayou raided with a small group of cavalry. Xu Hai did not push the trump card in his hand and chose to cut off his tail to survive.

In this battle, Yu Dayou killed 500 Japanese pirates and rescued 400 young and strong men who were trapped. Xu Hai fled from Zhapu, Pinghu County.

The war report was introduced to Beijing, and Yu Dayou's reputation rose to prominence. Many censors from the Censorate and many officials from the six departments all wrote letters. Emperor Jiajing ordered Yu Dayou to be transferred to the general of Zhejiang, and General Wusong was taken over by Dong Bangzheng, who was left behind in Su Song.

But what many people did not expect was that Emperor Jiajing also appointed him, and Ning Shaotai General Qi Jiguang was promoted to the deputy general of Zhejiang.

Qian Yuan thought in his mind that no matter why you, Hu Ruzhen, don’t like those two, you have to transfer Qi Jiguang out of Taizhou this time. Yu Dayou’s transfer to the Zhejiang general will not be able to stay in Songjiang again.

Gao Gong, Qian Yuan and Xu Wei were not focused on eating, and their minds never stopped rotating, but King Yu didn't care and ate the plate of shrimp in one breath before putting down the chopsticks.

"Zhancai, this time, it has made great contributions to the Southeast... Haha, the doctor of the Ministry of Personnel Examination Department is said to be very scratching his head." King Yu said with great interest: "This dynasty has not happened to this dynasty, and Shuji has made frequent military achievements."

"It's always a good thing." Gao Gong continued: "I heard Zhan say a few days ago... I still have to go south?"

Qian Yuan nodded, "It's just that this time I'm almost dead, uncle and uncle..."

"Isn't it Hu Ruzhen and Wu Weixi to suppress the Japanese? "Your King finally revealed his true intention for this trip, "Zhan Cai mentioned the fleet before leaving Beijing last time..."

King Yu is really poor. After all, he is a crown prince without a formal name. Many times he has to show off his appearance. But King Yu's biological mother has passed away and there is no subsidy at all.

Just yesterday, Liu Hong, who was in charge of the restaurant, said privately that the person who wrote white slips at Qian's restaurant was Xu Fan at most, followed by Prince Yu's Mansion.

"Xu Hai died, Wang Zhishou will be launched, and the fleet will be launched." Qian Yuan lowered his voice, "I have made preparations in private. Just in Taizhou and Zhoushan, your highness will be relieved."

"The main ones are silk, cotton, tea, and porcelain." Xu Wei added: "Food, gunpowder, and iron tools are forbidden to go to sea."

"No need to ban it, this is unbearable. Ke Yi is a heavy tax." Qian Yuan shook his head, "If the fleet can transport grain into the port, it can be tax-free, and even promises that the next transaction will be tax-free."

"It's a pity that the Maritime Trade Bureau has not been re-established yet." Xu Wei sighed: "The Japanese turmoil in the southeast has arisen because of this. If the general situation is to be changed to merchants, the maritime traders will turn into gangs..."

"But Xu Hai is a natural robber leader. If he doesn't die, it will be useless even if he re-establishes the Maritime Bureau." Qian Yuan patted the table lightly, "So, next, we must first kill Xu Hai and wipe out the main force of the Japanese pirates under his command."

After all, Gao Gong and King Yu didn't hear anything far away in the capital, but Xu Wei had been traveling in the southeast for a long time and had been in charge of his own. He knew the combat power of the Japanese pirates under Xu Hai's command. He looked at Qian Yuan's face carefully... and seemed to be very confident. Perhaps this is why Qian Yuan insisted on going to the southeast again.

"Xu Hai died, Wang Shinshou, and the official warships trained along the coast, merchant ships can pass through the sea." Qian Yuan looked at Gao Gong, "In the future, everything will depend on Zhongxuan Gong."

Gao Gong agreed to the opening of the sea ban, and was brave enough to take responsibility, so he agreed on the spot.

King Yu also agreed to the opening of the maritime ban. After all, it was money. He carefully calculated that if the maritime ban was opened and traded, only 50% of the original smuggling paid taxes, and the annual income was more than the original Maritime ban in Chengdu in ten years.

What's more, the fleet formed by Qian Yuan will be hung on the royal family in the future. Just this income... King Yu has eaten food from Qian Family Restaurant almost every day for more than half a year. His chubby round face and his eyes were narrowed into a slit.

The heavy snow was flying outside gradually stopped, and there were only leftovers in the hot pot inside the house. Gao Gong stood up and was about to say goodbye, but suddenly King Yu's words made him pause.

"The princess will have one month left..." Prince Yu looked at Qian Yuan with hope. "Zhan Cai..."

The other three were speechless. Gao Gong and Xu Wei were both orthodox scholars, and they paid attention to "their strange powers and magical powers" while Qian Yuan was a little overwhelmed...

After two consecutive coincidences, King Yu now really regards Qian Yuan as a lucky star...

Finally, in Gao Gong, Xu Wei's laughing and crying expression, Qian Yuan bowed seriously: "Your Highness has a deep blessing and luck, and the princess will be able to give birth to a child safely..."

"Okay!" Prince Yu held Qian Yuan's hand intimately and said goodbye Yiyi.
