Daoguang Emperor wants to eat a bowl of noodle soup for forty pence. Why can't he eat it?

Daoguang Emperor is the emperor after Jiaqing Emperor. At that time, the national strength of the Qing dynasty was weakening, and the country was not as prosperous and strong as it was in the Qianlong period. In order to change this situation, Daoguang emperor reorganized bureaucrats, built water conservancy projects and banned opium circulation, which achieved certain results at that time. Daoguang emperor's qualification is not high, but he watched the national treasury empty day by day. In order to change this situation, he worked hard to save, lived a simple life, ate and dressed in ordinary clothes, and even wore patched clothes.

Daoguang Emperor said that managing the country frugally was not a slogan, but really took the lead, because I heard that he had mended a dress, and because of the special cloth of the robes, he wanted 3,200 pieces of silver. If it is ordinary, it costs five taels in the palace, but I heard that people will mend clothes and even patch them. When the court opened, officials saw it and followed suit. Next time, officials will wear patched clothes.

Once Emperor Daoguang wanted to eat noodle soup, so he asked the office to make it, but the office said it needed 75,200 silver. Emperor Daoguang was stunned. A bowl of soup powder costs 75 thousand taels of silver, which can be used for people's livelihood construction. So the Ministry of Internal Affairs gave Daoguang Emperor an idea, why there are so many, from building a kitchen to recruiting chefs and purchasing related materials. Hearing this, Daoguang said that you went to the front door outside the palace? Noodle soup Liu? Buy a bowl there for only forty pence, and it's especially delicious. It is delicious. But the internal affairs department sent people to intimidate for its own benefit? Noodle soup Liu? Our boss asked them to escape from Beijing overnight.

And then the people in internal affairs told me? Noodle soup Liu? It has moved away, and there are no other stalls selling noodle soup in Beijing. After hearing this, Daoguang Emperor thought that eating a bowl of noodle soup cost 75,200 silver, which was too expensive. Daoguang, who advocates frugality, will not spend this money. Since then, Daoguang has never said that he wants to eat noodle soup.
