A minister advised: "Your Majesty, I think the trade policy and state-owned banks can be used as reference..."
Yang Guifei: "Your Majesty, I want to drink that 'Pearl Milk Tea'~"
Emperor Xuanzong replied lovingly, "Okay, I will do as you wish, my beloved concubine. I will order the Imperial Food Bureau to prepare it right away."

Zhu Yuanzhang was furious and shouted, "Nonsense! You're prioritizing commerce over agriculture, putting the cart before the horse. You're simply treating our country like a joke!"
