    Emperor Daoguang was the emperor after Emperor Jiaqing, when the Qing Dynasty's national strength was weakening day by day, and the country was not prosperous and strong in the Qianlong period. Emperor Daoguang's own qualifications are not high, but seeing that the treasury is becoming more and more empty, in order to change the situation, he strives to be economical and simple, and he is very ordinary in terms of food and clothing, and even wears patched clothes.

    Emperor Daoguang said that thrifty governance is not a slogan, but really take the lead, because I heard that he mended a piece of clothing, because the dragon robe fabric is special, it will cost three thousand taels**, if it is an ordinary supplement in the palace to five taels, but I heard that the people can make up a few dollars, so they also went to the people to mend clothes and even patch. When they went to court, they saw it and followed suit, and the next time they went to court, they all wore patched clothes.

    Once Emperor Daoguang wanted to eat noodle soup, he asked the Internal Affairs Office to let people do it, but the Internal Affairs Office said that it needed 75,000 taels**. Emperor Daoguang was taken aback, a bowl of soup powder costs 75,000 taels**, which can be used for people's livelihood construction. So the Ministry of Internal Affairs calculated for Emperor Daoguang why there were so many, from building a kitchen to hiring chefs and purchasing related materials.

    After hearing this, Emperor Daoguang said that you go to the "Powder Soup Liu" at the front door outside the palace, where it only costs forty yuan to buy a bowl, and it is very delicious, and the taste is very good. But for the sake of its own interests, the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to intimidate the boss of "Fan Tang Liu" and made them flee Beijing overnight.

    After that, the people from the Ministry of Internal Affairs reported that "Fan Tang Liu" had moved away, and there were no other stalls selling powder soup in the capital. After hearing this, Emperor Daoguang thought that if he wanted to eat a bowl of noodle soup, it would cost 75,000 taels**, which was too expensive. Emperor Daoguang, who advocated thrift so much, would not spend this unjust money, and since then, Emperor Daoguang has never said that he wants to eat powder soup.

    Because when Emperor Daoguang told the Ministry of Internal Affairs that she wanted to eat a noodle soup, the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave him more than 10,000 yuan, which was also very unreasonable, so Emperor Daoguang asked people to go to a small shop outside the city gate to buy it, but because of the infringement of the rights and interests of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, the owner of the small shop outside was threatened to flee, so Emperor Daoguang did not eat this noodle soup in the end.

  9. Anonymous users2024-02-03

    It was the Ministry of Internal Affairs that exaggerated the price, in order to prevent Daoguang from eating the noodle soup, because there were two aspects: first, the things outside involved food safety issues, which the Ministry of Internal Affairs could not afford; Second, if the emperor develops the habit of going out to buy everything he eats, then the people in the Internal Affairs Office can only drink the northwest wind.

    This is because the Ministry of Internal Affairs sent people to drive away all the vendors and shops selling noodle soup on Qianmen Street, and wanted to force Daoguang to allocate the noodle soup budget. Daoguang hated and annoyed, and never ate noodle soup.

    Emperor Daoguang was too diligent and thrifty, and the Internal Affairs Office asked the emperor not to buy things outside the palace, and secondly, he didn't want to lose his job, so he told the emperor that the noodle soup was too expensive.

    Because the Ministry of Internal Affairs calculated an account for him,said that this bowl of vermicelli soup needed more than 70,000 taels of silver to make, and finally Emperor Daoguang was very angry after hearing the explanation, so he stopped eating it.

    We all know thatEmperor Daoguang is a relatively aggrieved king in history, other kings can have whatever they want, and they can have fun according to their mood, but Daoguang does not have this blessing.

    I've heard of them allDaoguang is a gentleman who is reluctant to eat even eggsWang, because Daoguang, who lived in the city wall, didn't know how wonderful the outside world was, he asked the eunuch how much an egg was, and the eunuch seemed to be thirty taels one, and Daoguang was so frightened that he immediately didn't dare to eat more eggs, thinking it was a waste.

    Later, Daoguang gradually understood some of the outside world, He knows that the vermicelli soup outside is a big bowl of 40 yuan, which is very cheap and affordable, because there are vermicelli and a lot of mutton slices inside, which is very delicious.

    Once he wanted to eat this dish in the palace, so he asked the imperial dining room for this dish by name, and the people from the imperial dining room and the internal affairs office gave Daoguang a budget listThe above total noodles soup costs 75,000 taels ** to make such a bowl of vermicelli soup

    Daoguang said that it can be bought with 40 lines of silver outside, why does the figure of 75,000 taels appearThe people from the Internal Affairs Office said unhurriedly that mutton should be put in this vermicelli soup, and mutton has a peculiar smell, and it is easy to skewer other dishes in the imperial dining room, so you must build a special room to make vermicelli soup.

    There are also fans inside who are also very particular, and the quality of many fans outside is not very good, and you need to find a master who specializes in making noodles to make noodlesIn short, many processes require money, and the miscellaneous ones add up to relatively economical.

    As soon as Daoguang heard the explanation of the Internal Affairs Office, he immediately didn't want to eat this bowl of vermicelli soupIn fact, Daoguang also understood it in his heart, but because he had no real power, he had to let them bully him.

    The main reason is that the people below are afraid that the snacks outside are not safe, and if something happens to the dragon's belly, who will be responsible for this.

    Emperor Daoguang is a thrifty emperor, he is used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, so he wants to be considerate of everyone, and simply eat a soup powder that street stalls have, it is estimated that he has eaten it because of the people's feelings, and he knows that a bowl of soup powder is only 40 Wen. As a result, the budget reported by the Ministry of Internal Affairs was 70,000 taels, and Daoguang thought about it, this is not right, it is different from what I have eaten before.

    When I asked, I learned that if the emperor wants to eat something, then he has to build another imperial dining room, and he has to invite a professional master who makes soup powder, a master is enough, and then recruit a few more helpers to help, and there is also a meal delivery, so a set of processes is 70,000 taels. Daoguang is difficult to play chess, on the one hand, he is his beloved Internal Affairs Office, and on the other hand, he is a good emperor character that has been set up with great difficulty. Would a qualified emperor be punished by his subordinates for not being able to eat a bowl of soup powder?

    This is obviously not possible, so I stopped eating this soup powder!

    This also achieved the purpose of the Internal Affairs Office, in fact, the Internal Affairs Office dared to report this **, knowing that the emperor would not be obsessed with this. Some people speculate that this is a manifestation of the great power of the Internal Affairs Bureau, if Daoguang didn't know that a bowl of soup powder was 40 Wen, maybe he would approve 70,000 taels to them, such a large sum of money, except for those who made soup powder, the rest would go into the pocket of the Internal Affairs Office.

    However, I think I am afraid that this snack is not safe, and I don't know who will be held accountable when the time comes. Then simply build a royal dining room, layer by layer in strict accordance with the rules, if there is an accident, you can also know that the source is out**, and everyone does not need to be panicked.
