Chapter 42: The People Take Food as the Sky (Part II)

Li Yuanba nodded lightly, with a happy smile on his face: "Zhang Yushi is really a well-educated person!" I just don't know if Lord Goshi has ever heard of 'the people take food as the sky'? ”

"Hmph, what's so hard about that?" Zhang Duo snorted coldly when he heard this, and his swollen cheeks looked really funny with his arrogant appearance at the moment.

I only heard him continue: "This sentence is from the "Hanshu Li Shiqi Biography", and its original sentence is 'The king takes the people as the sky, and the people take food as the sky.' This means that the people depend on food for their livelihood, and without food, they have no hope of survival! And without the people, the king cannot be king. ”

"Okay, Master Zhang's words are to the point!" Zhang Duo's voice fell, and Li Yuanba clapped his palms and said: "Lord Zhang, over the years, although my Datang has no worries about war, the world often suffers from some natural disasters, such as floods, such as droughts and ......!" ”

"Does this have anything to do with the few things in the main hall?" Hearing that Li Yuanba began to pull some things that were not there, Zheng Tuo, who was standing beside Zhang Duo, wrinkled his brows and said, "If you want to delay time, this official advises you to dispel this idea as soon as possible!" His Majesty is the Son of Heaven and the Holy Monarch, no matter how clever you say, it will cure your sins after all, so don't waste your tongue anymore! ”

Li Yuanba didn't seem to hear Zheng Tuo's words, but continued: "These natural disasters have made 'food for the sky' a joke, and the people have no food to eat, so they will naturally find ways to steal, rob, or even assemble and launch a rebellion!" When the time comes, 'the water will overturn the boat' will become a fact, do you dare to say that this is not a major family and country event for me to set off a bloody storm in the Tang Dynasty and let the people of the Tang Dynasty not live and die for it? ”

Although Li Yuanba's words shocked the courtiers in the main hall, there were still some people who were noncommittal.

I saw Zhang Duo jump out and say, "Joke! Do you say that it is a major event of the family and the country? Speaking of which, you still haven't got to the point, what exactly are these things and what are they for? Did you make it clear to us first? ”

Li Yuanba smiled coldly and said: "Since the founding of the People's Republic of China, the food of my Tang Dynasty has always been based on steaming and roasting. Yesterday, His Majesty went to the Shangshi Bureau, because I heard that the female officials in the bureau have developed a new cooking method, and it is also suitable for ordinary people's homes. ”

"What?"

"A new way to cook? Isn't it enough to eat a full meal? ”

"You know a, don't underestimate anything that seems ordinary......"

Li Yuanba's voice fell, and the courtiers began to whisper, but looking at their appearance, some of their faces showed a blank look, and some of their faces seemed to understand whether they understood or not, as for the old foxes like the eldest grandson Wuji and Li Ji, they quickly thought of the key points.

As for Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo, at first glance, they are the kind of poor and sour Confucians who have read poetry and books and dedicated their lives to Kong Lao Er, they don't understand how much of a storm can be set off by a mere 'cooking' technique.

"Do you really think you're a cook?" Zhang Duo said coldly: "This is the court, not a lowly place like the Shang Food Bureau, it's just a cooking method, what use can it be?" ”

"What's the use?" Li Yuanba glanced at Zhang Duo with disdain on his face, and said: "Not to mention that this cooking method can enrich the lives of the people, just for businessmen, it is a rare business opportunity. People say 'Shinong Industry and Commerce', although 'merchants' are at the bottom, but they have to admit that they have something that many people rely on for survival, that is, 'wealth'! For the sake of 'wealth', many people will do whatever it takes to steal, rob, or even kill people to steal goods. ”

Speaking of this, Li Yuanba paused and continued: "If we put this new cooking method into the market, I believe that a huge commercial chain will be established in the market soon. For example, if you want to make this new type of cooking, you need to use special kitchen utensils, seasonings, and ingredients for cooking...... In addition, a restaurant was established with a new cooking method...... If these can be established, how much will it increase my Datang's taxes? It must be an extremely impressive number! ”

"Good!" Li Yuanba's voice fell, and the eldest grandson Wuji jumped out and said, "Your Majesty, four ...... What this son said makes a lot of sense. As long as the new cooking method is vigorously promoted, it will not only make the people remember His Majesty's kindness, but also fill the treasury of the Tang Dynasty. It's a win-win- ”

"Lord Eldest Sun, you ......"

Seeing the eldest grandson Wuji stand up and speak for Li Yuanba, Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo's faces changed together, they knew the energy of the eldest grandson Wuji in the Tang Dynasty.

He is the elder brother of the eldest grandson queen, who has grown up with the emperor since he was a child, and he is like a brother, and the eldest grandson Wuji is a secretary of the ministry, and the general of Zuo Wuhou, whether it is in the civil or military attache system, has a high prestige, as long as he nods, then this matter is basically qualitative, and it is impossible to do this hateful young man.

"Master Zhang Yushi, these kitchenware and seasonings are the necessities of the new cooking method 'stir-frying'. These are sacred relics that have blessed future generations for thousands of years, and you mock them and say that they are some broken copper and iron, small grains, do you know the sin? ”

Li Yuanba looked at Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo with a smile and said.

Zhang Duo and Zheng Tuo, their faces were completely blackened, originally they wanted to advise His Majesty to execute this damn young man, but they didn't expect it to turn into this situation, it's really impermanent.

"This, this...... But this can't be a reason for His Majesty to go to the Shang Food Bureau, you can let the Shang Food Bureau take charge of the meal and send these things to the emperor, why bother to work on the lowly land? Zhang Duo is still sitting with his last efforts, and he will definitely not let his reputation be tarnished.

"Hmph, this kind of holy relic is a secret thing, once it is leaked, how much turmoil it will cause to my Tang Dynasty, don't you understand?" Li Yuanba scolded loudly, "Although Your Majesty is a body of ten thousand gold, but for the sake of the people of Li, you are willing to risk being misunderstood and directly admonished by you and other foolish ministers, and go down to the Shangshi Bureau, you are still here to reverse right and wrong, I think it is you who want the 'Sacred Heart of Trouble'!" ”

Li Yuanba's voice became louder and louder, and his tone became more and more stern.

"Buzz!"

At this moment, Zhang Duo felt that his head exploded and became a mess.

Originally, I wanted to rely on this advice to be able to go down in history, which is good, if it is really as that kid said, he can also go down in history, but it is just a stench for 10,000 years.
