Queen Mother, she just wants to lie down

Ruan Qing stayed in the imperial mausoleum for three days.

Three days later, an empty coffin representing Concubine Li was buried next to the emperor's tomb.

The real person used a small coffin and dug a grave about ten miles away from the emperor and buried it.

The place she chose is full of mountains and rivers, surrounded by peaks, and the scenery is very beautiful.

Ruan Qing stood in front of the small grave bag and said silently in his heart: "Finally, I didn't break my promise to you. I hope everything goes well for you in the next life."

According to the rules, the death of a person of Concubine Li's status needs to be reported to the emperor.

The emperor then sent the clan to take charge of the funeral.

But Ruan Qing is the Queen Mother, and she personally handles the matter here. The generals of the tomb-protecting army belonging to Concubine Li have been changed again, so naturally no one dares to object.

After taking care of Concubine Li's body and returning to the imperial mausoleum, Ruan Qing said to Jiang Yuanhe Queqi: "Go down and prepare to return to the palace."

Jiang Yuan and Queqi breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.

The Queen Mother finally decided to go back to the palace. Tomorrow is the ceremony for her conferment. If she doesn't go back, Her Majesty will come to invite people in person.

When he reached the city gate, Ruan Qing asked the two hundred feather forest guards to leave.

Jiang Yuan hesitated for a moment and agreed.

The Queen Mother travels lightly, but if people find her bringing a bunch of people, she will come back from outside the city with great fanfare.

When the news of Concubine Li's death spreads, we don't know what strange news will come out.

Two hundred feather forest guards evacuated, but Jiang Yuan insisted on sending her to the palace with Que Qi.

Ruan Qing had no objection to this.

When he walked to Yujin Street, Ruan Qing smelled the aroma of food coming from a restaurant next to him, and turned to look at Que Qi sitting opposite:

"Have someone stop the car and ask if you can still have lunch at this restaurant. If so, let's have lunch first and then go back to the palace."

In order not to expose his identity and for Ruan Qing's safety, Qingqi had been sitting in the carriage with Ruan Qing.

When leaving the imperial mausoleum, Ruan Qing had no appetite and only drank half a bowl of millet porridge. Now that he could smell the aroma of food wafting from the restaurant, he was really hungry.

The problem is that it is already close to midnight, lunch time has passed, and I don’t know if the restaurant is still serving meals.

"You can eat it. Qingfeng Restaurant on Yujin Street is one of the two most famous time-honored restaurants in the capital, and its business is very booming.

In order to retain customers who want to come in and taste the delicious food, the restaurant owner has a rule that the restaurant will be open normally from the end of Si Shi to the beginning of Rong Shi.

Diners who can't get a seat at the meal can come and taste their dishes after the meal is over. "

Qingqi smiled and answered, knowing all the corners of the capital.

As he spoke, he reached out and lightly knocked on the car door.

"I wonder what your instructions are, miss?" Jiang Yuan's voice quickly rang out.

"Stop the car. Our boss wants to have dinner at Qingfeng Tower."

Ruan Qing put on his Wei hat and was still thinking when he walked in. The owner of Qingfeng Tower is a man who knows how to do business.

After entering Qingfeng Building, Qingqi chose a private room. When a few people entered the door, they happened to meet the owner of Qingfeng Building, Boss Yang, coming out of the next room.

Both Que Qi and Jiang Yuan had been to Qingfeng Tower only once, and Boss Yang recognized them.

For this reason, as soon as the two sides met, Boss Yang raised his voice and said hello: "Guard Magpie, General Jiang."

Although Jiang Yuan has only been serving as the commander of the Western Cavalry Camp for two days.

But such a big thing has been spread in the capital for a long time, so Boss Yang will naturally know about it.

"Boss Yang." Que Qi and Jiang Yuan nodded to him.

"You two haven't been to Qingfeng Tower for some time. The store has just released a few new dishes. You can try them. If you find any shortcomings, please feel free to make suggestions."

When Boss Yang saw that Que Qi and Jiang Yuan had no intention of introducing Ruan Qing, he said a few polite words and then left with a wink.

"Boss Yang really knows how to do business. I don't think he dresses like a businessman. Is he from a noble family?" Ruan Qing asked curiously after entering the room.

Boss Yang is a talented person with outstanding demeanor and conversation. He looks to be about 24 or 25 years old.

Different classes of this dynasty have different standards for dressing, and the clothes he wears are not something that merchants can wear.

"Yang San is a branch of the Hongnong Yang family, the cousin of Mr. Yang, the minister of Dali Temple, and the third eldest son in the family.

He was extremely talented, and passed the scholar examination at the age of fourteen. Later, because of the pressure from his stepmother, he had no choice but to give up writing and go into business, and took over the management of Qingfeng Tower.

Qingfeng Fenglou is a time-honored restaurant that has been passed down for hundreds of years. However, it began to decline twenty years ago and gradually became a second-rate restaurant.

It wasn't until ten years ago that 16-year-old Yang San took over the helm of Qingfeng Tower. In just two years, Qingfeng Tower was restored to its former glory.

Now even Yipinju, who was keeping pace with him, was half beaten. " Queqi replied.

"He's really an interesting person. Let's see if you can invite him up for a chat later." Ruan Qing's heart moved after hearing this.

Daxi is currently facing many problems. The treasury is empty, there are many cronies, and the people are in poverty.

If we want to fundamentally improve the situation, we cannot simply eliminate the cliques in the court.

If a country wants to prosper, in addition to political clarity and centralized political power, the most important thing is that it needs money.

Where does the money come from? It will not work to exploit the people and increase their taxes.

Not only cannot taxes be increased on the people here, but we must also reduce their burdens as much as possible and help them increase their incomes.

If the treasury wants to have money, it needs to vigorously develop business.

Encourage the common people to diversify their grains, help them improve improved varieties, increase production capacity, and encourage the development of various handicraft industries.

Then various commodities are quickly circulated through the hands of merchants, and the state collects taxes from the circulating commodities.

As a result, a large number of excellent business talents are needed, not only for Daxi, but also for the women's association that is about to start operations.

"Okay." Que Qi didn't ask any more questions and just nodded.

When the waiter brought in the first dish, Qingqi stopped him and said, "Brother, please tell your boss that the guests in the Accord on the third floor should come over and talk to him about something."

"Okay." The well-trained waiter nodded.

About two-quarters of an hour later, when the three of them had almost finished eating, there was a knock on the door outside.

"Please come in." Queqi turned around and said.

The door was pushed open, and young boss Yang was holding a tray with a pot of steaming tea on it.

After he entered, he closed the door behind his back.

Yang San looked at the three people who had put down their chopsticks, walked over with a smile, and put the tea on the table: "I'll bring the new tea from the store to relieve your tiredness."

"Thank you, Boss Yang." Ruan Qing nodded to him.

"It is Yang's blessing to be polite and serve noble people." Yang San smiled slightly.

"Do you know my identity?" Ruan Qing raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I didn't know at first, but after seeing the noble man, I guessed it." Yang San quickly looked at Ruan Qing, and then lowered his gaze.

As Que Qi and Jiang Yuan, they followed Ruan Qing like attendants. It was not difficult to guess her identity when they saw her appearance.

"I'm honest and open enough. Boss Yang, please sit down. I have some questions I want to talk to you about."

Ruan Qing smiled slightly, this Yang San was indeed a very interesting person.
