Chapter 293: A Steadfast Ally
Li Er stared at Yun Hao, who was kneeling below, and Li Shentong on the side seemed to be dozing off. They are all thousand-year-old foxes, and it's not interesting to talk about fasting. Li Er understood that this was a compromise for Yun Hao. The academy cannot be controlled by him, but only by the royal family. Since he inherited Li Yuan's throne, he naturally has to inherit the position of the dean of Li Yuan Academy.
As for money, the Yun family's lack of money is the real joke. The biggest rich man in Manchang'an is Yun Hao, and there is absolutely no such thing. According to the description of the eldest grandson, seventy percent of the expenses of the inner government come from the Yun family's share dividends. It can be said that Li Er's huge harem group is supported by Yunhao.
"It turns out that the seowon is a place where the state cultivates talents. Since I am the dean, I should give some money. It's just that the money of the household department has to go through the three provinces, and Wuji is also stretched thin. This money is out of the house, Yun Qing thinks it can be done? Li Er's majestic voice came down from above Dan Qiao.
"Thank you, Your Majesty! In a few days, it will be the day of the college examination, and a group of students will graduate. Since His Majesty is the dean, he naturally wants the students to give them a few tips when they graduate, which is also a spur and encouragement for their future lives. Yun Hao simply beat the snake with the stick and invited Li Er to attend the graduation ceremony of the graduates. As long as Li Er comes, the names of teachers and students will be decided. In the future, the students of the academy can also have some proud capital when they go out, and the protégés of the Son of Heaven can't be proud if they don't want to.
"Exactly! Graduation is a major event in life, and I am determined to go. "Li Er is very happy, as a wise emperor, he wants to control everything in this empire. The academy was too important to the Tang Dynasty, and the success of Yun Hao's expedition to Goryeo made Li Er see the great power of gunpowder weapons.
Li Daoyan's understanding of the ocean shocked Li Er, it turned out that the sea that his ancestors had ignored for generations was actually so rich. Li Er, who had no rivals on land, quickly set his sights on the sea again. And the gunpowder weapon is an important guarantee for him to step into the sea of stars.
Not to mention those strange things, a few days ago, Li Tai, the king of Wei, returned to the palace and actually told himself that he could pull up 800 catties of stones with one hand. thought it was just a child's play, but Li Tai and Li Ke recognized it and really asked the guards to make a wooden pole with wheels hanging on. It was really in front of Li Er and the eldest grandson, and the big stone lion at the gate of the Wude Hall was hung up. There is absolutely no lie, saying that a hand is a hand.
With such a thing, in the future, the walls will no longer be built with bricks and stones. Instead, you can use harder granite with high-grade cement, which is truly indestructible.
The empire is developing rapidly, and many things are inseparable from the invention of the academy. Li Er knows that this is the power of knowledge.
"Boy, well done today. Imperial power is the greatest power in the world, although the old man is friends with you. But the old man is a royal man, and the old man is very pleased that you can hand over the academy today. Walking out of the Taiji Palace, Li Shentong patted Yun Hao's shoulder. If the emperor wanted to kill Yun Hao, Li Shentong was very embarrassed to be caught in the middle.
Well, now, the clouds are all gone. The sun showed his head, but the sun was a little big, so hot that the old guy got into the carriage with his head. There was a huge ice basin there, and the whole carriage was very cool and comfortable.
"What do you mean that I handed over the academy, the academy has never belonged to the Yun family. From the day it was founded, the academy belonged to the Tang Dynasty. What I said to Your Majesty was true. Compared with the Yun family, Datang needs those students more. ”
"Yes! The students of the academy are really good, and the students from the Hongwen Pavilion Guozi Jian are the first to talk about poetry and songs. When asked about political commentary, it was also impassioned. But if you really go to the following prefectures, prefectures, and counties, you will often make a mess. When the disaster came, I didn't know how to help the disaster, and two years ago there were locusts in Sanyuan County. Lu Zhi, the county magistrate, actually ordered to set fire to the wheat that was about to ripen in the whole line. ”
"Who can protect this kind of fool? If this goods are in Chang'an, the kid will go and cut off his head now. Yun Hao's eyes widened, this kind of two hundred and five, it is definitely two hundred and five. Set fire to the wheat, you can't jump or not fly when you are a locust?
As soon as the words fell, he was slapped on the neck, and his neck was red after a heavy beating.
Li Shentong stretched out a finger and pointed at himself, meaning that he was the fool. Yun Hao hurriedly arched his hand, this was troublesome, and the annoyed and angry old guy couldn't afford to provoke him.
"You don't need to cut it! Lu Zhi had already thrown himself into the fire and died, if he didn't have this integrity. The old man would go and take his head himself, albeit in the wrong way. But this ethics is still commendable! ”
Finished! Finished! The old guy has shamelessly put gold on his face. What if there is a locust plague and the wheat is set on fire, but what should I do if there is a flood? Do you want to throw yourself into the water and die? The court raised these bastard officials, could it be said that it was just to make them commit suicide when disaster came?
In order not to be slapped, Yun Hao helplessly arched his hand, expressing his admiration for the old guy's fiery eyes!
"Humph! The boy who came out of the academy is a fierce spirit who races one by one. The old man was very strange, they seemed to know what they were going to do. Several of the students who came out of the first batch of academies went to the prefectures and counties near Chang'an to serve as county magistrates. As a result, the people's livelihood in these prefectures and counties has been greatly improved. Especially your potatoes and corn, which are now planted everywhere.
You don't know, but at first the farmers didn't buy the new crops. I don't know how they got it, but the farmers begged them to buy grain seeds. Although Chang'an County and several other counties were hit by disasters last year, no one went out to flee the famine. Those students of yours have made a lot of contributions, and with these kids, no one in the court now dares to recommend people casually. His Majesty's words in the past two years have become a joke that all the talents in the world have entered the hub. Li Shentong leaned on the wide cushion, and his whole person seemed to be boneless.
The old guy has been completely abolished, and he can no longer see the Li Shentong who carried the knife and rode the horse back then. Looking at Li Shentong's current body shape, whether he can ride a horse or not is a big question. Gentle Township is a hero's mound, maybe Li Shentong's appearance is also Li Er's joy to see it.
"You can't exercise when you're old, look at your belly. Pregnant women at six months are not necessarily as big as your belly. The kid is counting on you to hold on for a few more years, so that the kid can live a little more stable. Looking at Li Shentong's big belly that kept flowing with the carriage, Yun Hao had a headache.
Young people are obese, and there will be big problems in their bodies. What's more, the elderly, high blood pressure, heart disease, and diabetes caused by high blood sugar will kill the old guy. In addition, the old guy likes to eat hot pot very much, especially spicy hot pot, and not getting gout is simply the result of green smoke from the ancestral tomb of the Li family.
"Children and grandchildren have their own children and grandchildren, and this kid Daoyan was awarded the title of King of Jiaodong County. The old man's heart was also steady, and he didn't expect him to make a further prince. Among the princes of the near branch, the title of the old man is the highest. This is already an outlier and cannot be outstanding.
During the Chinese New Year, Qu Tutong came back from Luoyang once. He is also strict in his house. But he drinks wine and eats meat, and when he meets a woman he likes, he can also drum it up twice. The old man agrees with his words, and now while his body is still good, he will enjoy all the wealth he can enjoy. One day, if you let the old man drink, I'm afraid the old man won't be able to drink it.
I went to Zhaoyang Palace to see the imperial brother, who is now a drunken beauty. If it weren't for the mahjong you made, maybe he would have drunk it to death. Li Shentong looked a little lonely.
Among the princes of the near branch, Li Shentong is the most favored and trusted by Li Yuan. But at the time of the Xuanwumen Incident that year, Li Shentong did not stand on Li Yuan's side. In fact, even if he sided with Li Yuan, it would be useless. How much of a storm can a prince who is not in charge of the army set off.
At the mention of Li Yuan, Yun Hao stopped talking. In any case, Yun Hao was firmly on Li Er's side in the matter of the Xuanwu Gate Change. The title of the Duke of Chu is also because of the one who created Li Yuan. Now that the old guy is confined in the deep palace, Yun Hao mustered up his courage several times, but he didn't set foot in the Zhaoyang Palace.
When I'm in a bad mood, I want to tinker with my mouth. Entering the kitchen of Li Shentong's house, Yun Hao was stunned. This old guy's kitchen is full of water and land, flying in the sky and swimming in the water. With such a rich variety and huge quantity, Yun Hao felt that his cooking skills could no longer cope with this kind of scene.
If this guy had lived in the afterlife, he would have been protested in front of his house by animal protectors. But this is Datang, and the guy who dares to do this will definitely be cut off by Li Shentong, and there is no reason to do so.
"This is a flower bear?" In the backyard of Li Shentong's kitchen, Yun Hao saw a giant panda. Oh my God! This product really dares to eat, panda meat ......! Rare to see!
"Yesterday, my good grandson went hunting in the mountains and got a live one. If you like it, let's eat it today! Not to mention, I really haven't eaten a flower bear. Li Shentong looked at Yun Hao with a smile, now there are not many people in the Tang Dynasty who can make Yun Hao cook, and he Li Shentong happens to be one.
Yun Hao was speechless! Although it is delicious, the overly unrestrained dishes such as steamed panda or braised panda are still not sensitive!
In these years, pandas are worthless, and they lack the years to eat and drink, and this thing often comes out of the mountains and forests to make tooth sacrifices. Don't look at the size is not big, but you eat a lot. Not only to eat, but also to harm. A large crop can be destroyed in one night, and every year the bear is killed by the farmer who keeps vigil. Yun Hao saw more than one end and two ends. If you dare to say that you protect pandas at this time, you will definitely be beaten by the farmers and unable to take care of themselves.
"Forget it, it's a hassle to slaughter. Let's eat it! Yun Hao pointed to the big carp more than two feet long in the water tank, this thing is the best to make squirrel fish.
Since Li Yuan came to the academy and Yun Hao made him a braised carp, the imperial court didn't care much about eating carp. It can't be said that the emperor's surname is Li, so he won't let people eat carp. Look at what this carp has grown, it's almost three feet fucking old. I heard that there are fishermen who are four or five feet long, and they are all fucking fine.
The chubby cook and the cook of the Yun family are brothers, in fact, the chefs in the palace are all from the Yun family. Originally, Yun Hao wanted to run a chef class in the academy and develop in the direction of Lanxiang Technical School. As a result, I was almost sprayed into a sieve by Wen Daya's saliva! When the academy was first founded, those projects were cut down by Wen Daya. At present, in addition to classics and history and Chinese studies, the only things that students in the academy want to learn are physics and arithmetic. Among them, physics and arithmetic are often taught by a teacher, and it often happens that they talk about lectures and lectures.
The fat cook's knife skills are very good, shaving the scales and removing the internal organs of the fish, and a set of knife techniques is smooth. In a short time, the large carp, which was more than two feet long, was cleaned up. Slice the meat from the back, cut off the fish head, change the lychee knife, put it in clean water, rub it with cooking wine, green onion and ginger water, and a small amount of salt, wrap it in the cornstarch, and fry it in an oil pan.
Squirrel fish should be too oily, otherwise it won't be delicious. The oil in the iron pot is boiling, and the fish boils immediately when it goes down to the pot. As soon as the beveled openings are fried, the meat protrudes piece by piece. Remove most of the oil from the pot, leave the oil and put in the prepared sweet and sour sauce, and also have a little bit of the Yun family's secret tomato sauce.
Among the seeds brought back from Goryeo were tomato seeds. Unfortunately, the seeds of this tomato don't seem quite right. The tomatoes are only half the size of a fist, a bit like the fruit of later lovers, but slightly larger. Yun Hao felt that this might be the original variety of tomatoes.
This small tomato is definitely acidic, but unfortunately the sweetness is not good. It is estimated that it is the result of cultivation in later generations, and the servants of the Yun family are trying to graft this tomato with all kinds of strange things. I don't know if this is genetically modified, anyway, Yun Hao ate yellow tomatoes. The taste was strange, and when I inquired, it turned out to be grafted with melon. This thing can also be grafted?
As soon as the mixed juice is poured on the fish, a strong fragrance immediately reaches the nose. The fat cook quickly cut the cucumber slices and arranged them around the plate. An authentic squirrel fish out of the pot!
A few cold dishes plus squirrel fish are the appetizers of Yun Hao and Li Shentong. A square table was placed under the shade of the tree, and Yin Hong's grape brew and ice fish clanged into it.
"If you have something good to eat, don't call me, it's not interesting enough!" The two were about to start moving, when suddenly a voice came.
Yun Hao was very suspicious that Li Daoyan had any special functions, but he was relieved to think that this was in someone's house. Who hasn't had a few faithful servants to tell the news!
"Where did you go to drill in the sand, and you didn't see anyone for two days?" Although Li Daoyan is still competitive, Lao Tzu sees that his son does not give a good face, which seems to be a common practice in ancient and modern times.
"Father, you don't know. My son has been busy with a big thing all day! Li Daoyan excitedly got a chair and sat down. Grab a glass of grape wine and pour it into your mouth.
"Big deal?" Li Shentong glanced at his son, his family now needs to be dormant just like the Yun family. The old guy is most afraid of hearing words like something big.
"I heard that a monk traveled to Tianzhu and came back with the scriptures there. Buddhism is going crazy! ”
