Chapter 1216 Full Moon Banquet

   "Go and buy." Ye Muyu ordered: "A town arranges two people to exchange news, and always pay attention to the situation of the war in the Northland."

   This is another big expense.

  After getting the order, Steward Luo went down to do this matter.

  Ye Muyu took 10,000 taels to set up a scout team.

   This is an upfront cost only.

  But she doesn't feel distressed, money can be earned at any time, but news delivery is the most difficult these days.

  After receiving a letter from his hometown Chuxing, Ye Muyu smiled visibly.

  This time, the yield of potatoes in the seven villages in my hometown is as high as 2,200 catties per mu.

   All in all, there is a full output of more than two million catties.

  Ye Muyu wrote back, asking Chu Xing to store all the potatoes and not to sell them, but to wait until needed.

  She found Mrs. Chu and Liu, found a few cooks, and opened a food shop on North Street, selling potatoes for food.

   In less than half a month, the restaurant business is booming.

  The money Ye Muyu earned was exchanged for food while the price of food was not expensive.

   Ye Muyu's actions cannot be hidden from many people in the capital.

  After the palace also sent people to buy food made of potatoes, the business of the food shop became more and more prosperous.

  But she didn't take this opportunity to expand her presence, she only added a few more people.

  Inside the palace.

  Emperor Xuanming looked at the potatoes on the table in a delicate glass plate, stretched out his chopsticks to pick up a piece, and chewed it lightly, only feeling in a good mood.

   "Reward." Emperor Xuanming waved his hand.

  The Chu family received rewards again, and they were all real gold and silver. The amount of jewelry made in the palace was obviously much smaller than last year's rewards.

  Suddenly, the rich and powerful in the capital realized that Chu Heng was deeply favored.

   After counting the rewards, Sumei asked, "Madam, should we move to the warehouse?"

   "Use all the gold and silver to buy food." Ye Muyu didn't feel bad for the silver she got in vain.

  With a smile in her eyes, Sumei ordered the matter.

   It happened that Mrs. Chu and Liu came in from the yard.

  Ye Muyu asked her to sit and rest for a while while talking.

   "Ayu, have you heard that Deng Jieyu in the harem gave birth to the sixth prince, and two days later it will be the full moon day. I heard that when the sixth prince was born, the sun was shining brightly. The Qin Tianjian said it was a good omen."

"But because of the war in the Northland, the emperor did not hold a banquet in the palace. However, in recent days, the officials in the court persuaded the emperor to hold a full moon banquet for the sixth prince, saying that it was a blessing, and the war in the Northland might be able to end. .”

   "You said, is the sixth prince a child really so mysterious?" Chu Liu frowned: "However, it would be a good thing if he can really stop the war in the North."

  Ordinary people think simply, as long as they have enough to eat and wear warm clothes, the people who are injured and suffer in wars are always the people.

  Ye Muyu nodded: "I have heard about it."

   "Then do you think the emperor will really hold a full moon banquet for the sixth prince at the critical moment of this war?"

   "I don't know." Ye Muyu shook his head.

   And this news was confirmed the next day.

  The emperor will hold a full moon banquet for the sixth prince on April 16, and invite all the ministers to enter the palace to congratulate.

Ye Muyu was a little surprised. Today, he should be a good emperor who is diligent in governing and loving the people. How could he agree to such a request? Moreover, in the eyes of the common people, the emperor and his courtiers even held a group banquet when the war broke out. Isn't this extravagant and lustful, a disaster for the court? .

   Could it be that the emperor really believed the words of Qin Tianjian, thinking that the sixth prince was born auspicious?

  Used to pray for blessings?

   No, still wrong, Emperor Xuanming is still an upright man.
