Capital City, Miaowei Tower.

As the main source of income for Prince Yu’s Mansion before Liu Mingqi traveled through time, the characteristics of Miaoweilou were very prominent.

In modern terms, it is very cost-effective.

Usually, it only costs two taels of silver to buy a table with eight meat and two vegetables and two pots of turbid wine.

The officials and businessmen in the government like to come to Miaoweilou to eat.

After all, the restaurant at the prince’s house is clean and hygienic and humble.

Now it's different.

Prince Yu's Mansion has developed into the world's number one business, and there is no shortage of this little money at all.

But considering that Miaoweilou has embraced the emotions of many old Prince Yu’s people, Princess Yu not only did not close Miaoweilou, but instead expanded the scale.

Originally, this Miaowei Building in Beijing was just a three-story restaurant. Now I bought four or five shops around and expanded the area several times in one go.

If you sit full, you can sit at least about a hundred tables.

Then the wine and food here not only increased many varieties, but also the cooking skills are getting better and better, but the prices are getting cheaper.

The feast of two taels of silver above can now be eaten with one tael of silver.

Tell me!

Who is missing a tael of silver for those people in the capital who have the work to do?

One tael of silver is well eaten, and it is lively and lively. Who doesn’t want to come?

Liu Mingqi also advised her mother that if someone was really penniless and wanted to eat, then go to the side and back door to knock on the wooden window twice, and naturally someone would give two big steamed buns with pork, enough to have a meal.

So this Miaowei Tower is full of people all day long.

Even those who consume slightly higher consumption in private rooms have booked early every day.

Today, there were several burly men standing at the door of a private room on the third floor, which was difficult to mess with at first glance.

The customers who were drinking on the side couldn't help but sneer.

I really don’t know where the local buns came from, but actually sent someone to guard the door?

Don't you know where this place is?

Who dares to take the courage of ambition and come here to make trouble?

It's such a waste!

But only the guys from Miaoweilou knew who the people standing at the door were.

Inside the private room.

Sima Bei pointed to the table he had bought and sighed without any sense of smile: "Your Highness, if all the restaurants in the world are like your Prince Yu's Mansion, I'm afraid that people with a little money will not cook at home, right? Just buy a tael of silver for a banquet, and the family can eat for several days after they go back!"

"This is you don't understand people's hearts." Liu Mingqi smiled, "Even if it's just a penny, the people don't think it's cheaper than what they do. Really rich people won't come here to eat. In fact, this kind of restaurant is just a popular route!"

"How much money do you have to lose this day?" Sima Bei asked.

"It seems that this Miaowei Building will lose more than 500 taels a day, right?" Liu Mingqi said, "The other four companies outside the city will lose less."

"Tsk tsk, that's not the loss of 20,000 to 30,000 in a month, and a loss of 300,000 to 400,000 in a year?"

"almost."

Liu Mingqi's first stance.

Of course he wouldn't tell Sima Bei that the real number is several times more than this.

Not to mention anything else, there are thousands of meat buns here every day, especially in winter, more people come to ask for them, more than tens of thousands of them are available every day.

Although you can find it by knocking on the window, the people from Miaoweilou even took a look. It was indeed that most people had pale faces and thin skin, so they couldn't afford to eat.

Those who are strong and strong will be ridiculed when queuing up.

The Sima Bei in front of him is the Xinye County Magistrate whom Liu Mingqi met when she was visiting Hubei and Sichuan last year when she passed by Xinye County, south of the Jingji area.

Sima Bei was awarded the Jinshi for the second list of Jinghe for 20 years. Seven years ago, he worked from Hanlin Academy to Xinye County and was a child of the Legal family.

He also fully developed the characteristics of his Legal children, was diligent and willing to work hard, was fair in his means, and was not afraid of the powerful.

In just a few years, Xinye County was managed vigorously by him and was praised by Gyeonggi Governor Xiong Wenqing, and the annual evaluation was "A" on the A.

After meeting Liu Mingqi, he came up with a silly face and won a honeycomb coal workshop for Xinye County. He solved the employment of almost 50,000 people in one go, benefiting more than 500,000 people.

Xinye County has thus become the top ten counties in the world in the past two years, but all of them are in Jiangnan, and there is not even one in the Imperial Capital City.

It was precisely because of Sima Bei's achievements that when the court considered the establishment of a new prefecture at the intersection of the three provinces, it immediately thought of this magistrate of Xinyecheng County, who was called the direct descendant of the Gyeonggi region.

Sima Bei can revitalize people's livelihood, which will enable those poor people to survive under his leadership by farming and working hard.

Sima Bei clarified the land in Xinye County in the first year and cleared a large amount of unowned land to distribute it to the poor. Naturally, he could do this in the new mansion.

The most important thing is that Sima Bei is a direct descendant of the Legal family, so he is not afraid of offending any powerful people at all. He will definitely complete the work of clarifying millions of acres of land seriously.

No human relationship or power oppression exists!

If the children of the Legal family fell down so easily, they would not have survived to this day.

It is precisely because he is a child of the Legal family that when the prime ministers proposed the candidate, he was not the only one, but Emperor Jing He fell in love with him at first sight.

After all, over the years, the two important Legal officials around him, Miao Yan and Ge Songdao, have been so outstanding, and they are his trusted right-hand men.

Therefore, a few days ago, the court had formally issued an order to remove Sima Beixinye County from his post as the county magistrate and instead appointed him as the prefect of Pengzhou Prefecture, a new territory in the Jingji area.

You read that right.

In order to avoid any trouble for local officials, the prime ministers directly requested the emperor's imperial edict, not only did they establish a Pengzhou Prefecture where the three provinces meet, but also included it in the Jingji area.

This makes it easier for them to govern, and can benefit the people more. At the same time, it can better implement the land sale plan of the court and the emperor.

No one dares to ignore the income of tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of taels of silver!

...

As Sima Bei himself, he was also a little at a loss when he was hit by such a huge pie.

Although he knew that his next step would definitely be to advance beyond the level and become a prefect, he didn't know that he was actually the prefect of such a large prefecture and a newly established one.

He went to the Ministry of Revenue, the Ministry of Personnel, and the Ministry of Works to investigate the information of Pengzhou Prefecture, and was suddenly a little at a loss.

Such a brand new city and such a situation that has never been encountered before are completely inconspicuous.

What should I do, which step should I do first, and what rhythm should I use the most appropriate... These questions are too complicated.

He was still quite distressed about this.

Fortunately, Sima Bei is a smart man. After asking his boss, colleagues and others, he suddenly thought of His Highness Prince Yu, the world's smartest man!

It happened that he and Liu Mingqi had a friendship, so they set up a banquet and prepared for it. They invited Liu Mingqi to come over and ask in person for advice.

The two sat and ate for a while. During the chat, Sima Bei told Liu Mingqi all the tasks given by Pengzhou Prefecture and the court.

The boy was also a little surprised when he heard this.

He had originally speculated whether he would send Wang Liangxin, the Imperial Capital Mansion, to the Imperial Capital Mansion, to the Imperial Capital Mansion, or to Chen Taipei of the Ministry of Justice.

Because these two are both fourth-rank officials and serious Beijing officials, they can completely suppress local officials and gentry.

But unexpectedly, Sima Bei, the magistrate of Xinye County who was only a sixth rank, came to take the responsibility.

But when I think about it, I feel that the choice between the court and the emperor is very good.

The above two people are impeccable in terms of character and ability.

Wang Liangxin is the eldest son of Wang Feiteng, the former Minister of the Ministry of Revenue, but he has not been infected with Wang Feiteng's bad habits at all. He has worked diligently and impartially in Dali Temple, and has received praise from all over the world.

Not to mention Chen Taipei, for more than ten years in the Ministry of Justice, he has been strong and capable, and has good integrity. It is expected to be promoted to the Minister of Justice within five years.

But the two have a huge weakness.

That means you have not had any experience in working hard at the grassroots level, have not been exposed to such complex forces and complex relationships in the local area.

Sima Bei is different. He was honed in this complex environment. Xinye’s situation is not simple and clear. With a series of situations after he took office, it is not easy to straighten things out quickly, let alone develop into what he is now.

His most important weight was his political achievements in becoming one of the top ten counties in the world.

Sima Bei is also very young, and this year he is only thirty-one.

So even if he was thrown into the newly established Pengzhou Prefecture for ten years, he still had enough time to slowly manage this area.

While Liu Mingqi was thinking, Sima Bei took the initiative to speak: "Your Highness, I invite you here today, mainly to ask for advice. Please give me some advice."

Liu Mingqi was happy: "I have no experience in local management, and I can't even compare to one-tenth of yours. What do you want to ask me?"

"Of course, Weichen is good at normal management, but Weichen is a little unsteady in some things outside the rules." Sima Beidao, "Your Highness is talented and has always been imaginative and unconventional. If you can give some useful opinions to Weichen, you will be very grateful."

"Tell me!"

Liu Mingqi took a sip of the wine and agreed readily.

The wine in Miaoweilou is still not good, it tastes similar to fermented glutinous rice.

The court was willing to carry out a pilot project in Pengzhou Prefecture to clean up the unowned land occupied by powerful gentry and sell the land to the people in installments. This is a good thing.

If you do well in Pengzhou, you can slowly implement it in the whole world.
Chapter completed!
