The

three of them came to Kunning Palace with a smile and a smile, and Queen Ma, who had received the notice in advance, was busy preparing meals in the small kitchen with the girl from last night's banquet.

"You go into the house first, there are pastries on the table, you eat first! The meal will be ready immediately," Queen Ma said without raising her head when she saw the third grandfather coming over.

"Okay, girl, thank you for your hard work," Lao Zhu said with a smirk

Xu Huizu behind him thought: "The relationship between Lao Zhu and Queen Ma is really deep, no wonder the world says that in Lao Zhu's heart, only Queen Ma and Zhu Biao are relatives and wives, and the others are princes and princesses!"

"I've seen my father, the prince's brother!" At this time, the girl behind Queen Ma hurriedly saluted the two, perhaps there were outsiders present, and the girl's face was a little ruddy.

"Okay, good, our Rong'er has grown up, and we all know how to help your mother cook, let's try my daughter's craftsmanship at noon today" Zhu Yuanzhang laughed heartily.

This girl is Zhu Yuanzhang and Queen Ma's eldest daughters, Princess Ningguo and Zhu Yourong.

"What are you stunned about, this is our daughter, Princess Ningguo, according to your age, you still have to call your sister!"

"Oh! I've seen my sister!".

Xu Huizu, who came back to his senses, hurried to salute, he was amazed just now.

It should be said that the old Zhu Hei of the Qing Dynasty is too exaggerated, the most widely circulated portrait of Ming Taizu in later generations is the big shoehorn face, in fact, the real Zhu Yuanzhang has thick eyebrows and big eyes, a mighty face, and is not ugly at all.

"Tsk, Lao Zhu gave birth to a good girl" Xu Huizu sighed in his heart, others are not happy to hug left and right after crossing, they are good, they first fought on the battlefield, and just came back and began to worry about Daming's livelihood, it is really pitiful.

Entering the house, the three of them sat down, Xu Huizu, who had been running around all morning, was already hungry, grabbing the delicate pastries on the table and stuffing them into his mouth.

"This ancient pastry is not good, there is no white sugar, no matter how you do it, it will be a little worse, go back tonight to see if the mall has a way to make and refine white sugar!".

Buddy wants to have a Ming version of the food diary, crying these days of nobles, and by the way, make a lot of money!

Xu Huizu, who was worried about making a fortune, couldn't help but show a lewd smile.

"Suffer, is this kid worried about our daughter!" Zhu Yuanzhang frowned

Zhu Biao: "Brother Hui, do you want to be my brother-in-law?"

The room was quiet for a while, and the three had their own ideas, so that there was no sound for a while.

"What are you three thinking?" Queen Ma walked into the house with Zhu Yourong, followed by a group of maids with dishes, chopsticks and plates.

"It's nothing!" the three who came back to their senses said in unison!

Xu Huizu: ", why do these two people look at me like this?"

Zhu Yuanzhang: "Little thief, don't think about my daughter!".

Zhu Biao: "I'm going to be my uncle?".

Queen Ma: "Are these three people sick?".

Zhu Yourong: "He looks really handsome! I heard that he is superior in force..."

There were six side dishes and a pot of wine on the table, and Queen Ma beckoned a few people to sit down and eat.

"Boy, let's talk about it!" Zhu Yuanzhang stuffed his rice with a big gulp, and didn't forget to let Xu Huizu continue.

"I'll say, I still have food after I finish eating this way?"

Xu Huizu is not a fuel-efficient lamp, although it is not as fragrant as the food of later generations because of the limited seasoning, but Queen Ma's craftsmanship is also very good, and she is so hungry that she can't care about tasting it carefully.

After a while, the food on the table basically entered the stomachs of the two of them, and Zhu Yourong saw that Xu Huizu was a little choked, and hurriedly handed over a cup of tea.

Zhu Yuanzhang's face was unhappy, there was a feeling of a small padded jacket breathing the wind, and he was also a little choked, why didn't he see a glass of water handed to himself?

"Eat and drink enough, hurry up, and say that all the fucking food on the table is in your stomach, what's the matter? We haven't eaten much, and your father's little money has gone into your stomach, right?"

Zhu Yuanzhang looked at Xu Huizu, who was full of food and drink, and his face was unhappy, he was really a starving ghost reincarnated!

"I really don't have to say anything about our aunt's craftsmanship! One day, my nephew will let you taste our private dishes!".

Queen Ma smiled and nodded, this kid is really more and more satisfied the more she looks at it!

"Your Majesty, for the sake of the eldest lady's face, I'll show you something!".

"If you want me to say that you are also guarding Baoshan and shouting poverty every day, take salt as an example, not to mention the technologies I have mastered, even the current salt industry reform can fill the treasury!"

"Since the salt industry is in the hands of the imperial court, why should we give others a piece of the pie? Directly let the imperial court take the lead in setting up a department, with the cooperation of local governments, and sell it directly from the imperial court to the hands of the common people, so as to avoid the merchants from making ghosts from it, you make money, the people save money, and they still think of you!"

"But in this case, how much manpower and material resources does the imperial court need?" Zhu Biao interjected from the side, and what he asked was exactly what Zhu Yuanzhang wanted to ask.

"Brother Biao, look, it's shallow, it's short-sighted, isn't it!".

"Let's not say that manpower and material resources are ready-made, even if we hire people now, we are all cost-effective!".

"And, ah, I have a secret recipe to make this salt finer, purer and non-toxic!"

"Smack!".

"You kid is serious, you can't joke about this!".

"What are you doing in a daze, scaring the child!" Queen Ma on the side suddenly scolded Lao Zhu.

"Huizu, this is not a trivial matter, are you sure?"

Queen Ma's words were also secretly reminding Xu Huizu that if you are not sure, you can't just talk nonsense.

After all, salt has been strictly controlled by the imperial court since ancient times, and salt in this era is not cheap, and many ordinary people can't afford it.

If it can really be improved as Xu Huizu said, it is really a good thing for the country and the people, so Lao Zhu and Queen Ma also attach great importance to it.

"I didn't joke when I joined the army!" Xu Huizu also became serious.

As soon as Xu Huizu said this, the picture of the little boy's high spirits seemed to appear in front of several people that day, in order to fulfill his promise, he took the lead in entering and exiting the danger, and he made many contributions and returned triumphantly, how can it not be admired.

For a moment, several people were silent. Although Xu Huizu is young, he has won the respect of himself and others by relying on his own ability, otherwise who would dare to look like this in front of Lao Zhu?

"Today, since the emperor asked about this, Weichen still has those few words! I don't want to be a very popular minister, and I don't want to be in power, I just want to do my best to make Daming better and stronger, the people are well fed and clothed, everyone has books to read, and no one dares to bully the strong soldiers!!".

"Boy, do you want to change the law?".

"Do you know what happened to those who changed the law through the ages?"

"Either he was questioned and executed by the king, or he was killed for touching the interests of others!"

"Have you figured it out?".

Zhu Yuanzhang's eyes were sharp and his voice was serious. Keep asking!

"What kind of official is you afraid of death?"

"At that time, these people followed you to fight in the north and south, and they fought like this. This Ming is not only your Ming, but also the ancestors and the people of the world!"

"My generation should take the lead, inherit the will of the elders, and protect this great mountain and river!"

Xu Huizu's words have already shocked Lao Zhu and others.

"Hey, that's it, uncle, Brother Biao, don't you mean it, don't you cover me?" Xu Huizu changed too quickly, one second he was righteous and awe-inspiring, and the next second he was extremely obscene.

Zhu Yuanzhang, Zhu Biao, Queen Ma: "...."

Zhu Yourong: "Ambitious! is a good man!".

....

"Getting back to the point, I'll make refined salt within three days, and we'll be talking about other things when the time comes!" After the gag was over, Xu Huizu still gave Zhu Yuanzhang a reassurance.

"Then we'll wait for you for three days, kid, don't let us down!".

Looking at Xu Huizu's departing figure, Zhu Yuanzhang looked forward to it in his heart.
