Li Shimin

Chapter 658

"In this way, I will arrange for you to have meals in the manor first. After lunch, when you leave, I will arrange for the housekeeper to bring two catties of sweet potatoes, two catties of potatoes, and two catties of corn to each of you!" Li said. Xuan said.

All the ministers and nobles couldn't help but have weird faces again.

The king of Jin kicked out people at every turn.

Seeing this, Li Xuan thought that these honorable ministers were too few, so he explained: "Everyone, don't think too few! Don't look at the sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn I harvested.

However, there are more than 2000 households in the village, as well as all the guards and servants of Prince Jin's mansion!
These kings all need to be rewarded, and in the end, I am afraid that this is not enough! "

"His Royal Highness King Jin has painstakingly worked so hard for me to understand!"

"Exactly!"

"However, if His Royal Highness Prince Jin plans to sell seeds such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn in the future, please consider me first!"

All the honorable ministers said in a hurry.

"Everyone, don't worry, we are both nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and in the final analysis, we are all our own people. If there are any benefits, this king will take the lead in considering you!"

Li Xuan was full of quack spirit.

The eyes of Cheng Zhijie and Li Ji who came out of Wagangzhai lightened up, these words were to their liking.

Similarly, some sensitive nobles directly thought of the auction of the guards!
He couldn't help but glanced at Li Xuan thoughtfully.

It seems that His Royal Highness King Jin seems to have special treatment for Tang officials and nobles?

After Li Xuan finished speaking, he went straight in.

Li Chang has already started arranging for the back chef to kill pigs and chickens for cooking!
At the same time, everyone steamed a sweet potato and fried a plate of hot and sour potato shreds!

Served with a few meat dishes, and a tomato scrambled egg!
Immediately, a group of honorable ministers sneered and ate.

Even Fang Xuanling and Du Ruhui, the civic officials, just ate four big steamed buns.

After finishing the plate of hot and sour potato shreds and tomato scrambled eggs in front of them, all the ministers and dignitaries raised their heads and stomachs, and lay paralyzed on the sofa with endless aftertaste.

Even, Cheng Zhijie and Yuchi Jingde directly lifted up their robes, while feeling emotional, they patted their stomachs comfortably, making a 'dongdong' sound.

"Comfortable, but the cooks in Prince Jin's mansion know how to cook, especially the hot and sour potato shreds and scrambled eggs with tomatoes, which are several times more delicious than those made by those idiot cooks in my old Cheng's mansion!"

"What Zhijie said is very true. When it comes to cooking, the cooks in Prince Jin's Mansion are the most skilled. Even if the ingredients are the same, they still can't make such a taste..."

"I don't even know how to eat. Chili, coriander and shallot, and some vinegar, tiger food tastes really good..."

Listening to the words of Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling, Li Xiaogong and others, all the nobles who were lying on the sofa, reminiscing about the delicious stir-fried dishes they had never eaten just now, gradually heard something was wrong.

They couldn't help but sit up slowly and watched for a while.

Afterwards, they all asked anxiously: "Everyone, what is a pepper?"

"What are tomatoes?"

"Also, aren't these stir-fried dishes unique to the King of Jin? Do the residences of Su Guogong and Qi Guogong also have this thing?"

"..."

Only then did Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others realize the slip of the tongue, and they glanced at each other, but remained silent.

"Ugh?"

Seeing this, Li Ji, Zhang Liang, Duan Zhixuan, Hou Junji, Wei Zheng and the others felt that something was wrong and their faces were full of depression.

"Everyone, close the door, we are all our own people, why do we have to hide even a few dishes?"

"It really makes me so sad to wait!"

"Your Majesty, we are also the Duke of the Great Tang Dynasty, and the nobles of the Great Tang Dynasty..."

"No concealment, no concealment!..."

Facing the resentful expressions of the veterans, Li Shimin glared fiercely at Cheng Zhijie, who was pretending to be dead, and quickly smiled awkwardly, explaining.

"Peppers and tomatoes, like sweet potatoes and potatoes, are the vegetables King Jin brought back from America!"

"Vegetables brought back with sweet potatoes?"

All the nobles couldn't help being startled.

Immediately, his face was full of interest.

"No wonder it tastes so delicious?"

"On weekdays, XX eats up to four big steamed buns, but today he actually ate six. He wants to continue eating, but it's a pity that his stomach is not strong enough!"

"Hey, I ate seven today..."

Saying that, all the old killers suddenly remembered something, and they all looked at Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others.

"This kind of delicacy is also grown in your home, and you didn't tell us?"

"What's even more exaggerated is that you have been hiding it from us?"

"The old man has always thought that we, as colleagues, are our own people, but I didn't expect that we are just feeling ourselves..."

"Ugh……"

Cheng Zhijie, Li Xiaogong and others lay down on the sofa, closed their eyes and meditated, pretending to be dead!

Seeing this, all the nobles were all in one mind.

At the same time, he secretly made up his mind that after returning home, he must go to the mansion of these old killers, and take a good look at the glass greenhouses of these old killers, what kind of good things are planted in the end?

After half an hour.

According to Li Xuan's words, Li Chang asked Li Chang to bring a group of servants to each of the nobles and give them a small basket of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Seeing this, all the nobles from aristocratic families could only sigh secretly in their hearts.

Later, under the leadership of Li Shimin, he bid farewell to Li Xuan.

Before leaving, Li Xuan kept telling them that if Li Xuan sells sweet potatoes, corn, potatoes, peppers, tomatoes and other strange things, whether it is fruits or seeds, he must tell them first.

No matter when, they will send people to charge at a high price as soon as possible.

Li Xuan nodded in response.

These nobles left with peace of mind.

When they got into the carriage, they all stared at Cheng Zhijie, Fang Xuanling and the others with resentment on their faces.

And in Lijiazhuang.

After lunch.

Li Chang led a group of guards and farmers, and began to peel the corn again.

And after returning to the palace.

Li Shimin directly asked Zhongshu Sheren to draft the imperial edict, and Li Shimin painted the word "Edict" in ink, sent it to Menxia Province for review, and then directly sent it to Shangshu Province and handed it over to the Ministry of Rites.

These edicts are all rewards for Li Baoding, Wang Xuance and others who followed Li Xuan to the Americas to retrieve food such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn.

Among them, Wang Xuance, Xue Rengui, Cheng Chusi, Changsun Chong, Yuchi Baolin, Fang Yizhi, and Du Gou were named county sons.

Li Chengqian, Li Baoding, and Li Chongyi all had titles, so they only rewarded some acres of land, and each added [-] food.

In addition, Li Baoding and Li Chongyi also got two vassal cities respectively!

Taking this opportunity, Xue Rengui was also directly named the consort captain!

And those bodyguards and soldiers who followed Li Xuan and others to America also received some property rewards, and ten acres of fertile land rewards, and they were all promoted to a higher rank!
There are twelve imperial edicts in total, seven ennoblements, one consort captain, and the remaining four are all edicts of wanton rewards.

If the normal process is followed, it will be impossible to complete the review without a day or two.

However, Li Shimin and the chief officials of the three provinces had communicated with each other a few days ago about these titles and rewards.

Today, the officials from the three provinces and all the dignitaries in the dynasty have also seen the production of sweet potatoes, potatoes, and corn, which these boys like Li Xuan and Li Chongyi brought back from America.

Therefore, Zhongshu Sheren had just started drafting, and the servants, ministers, and others in the province also got the news and waited eagerly.
