Cultivation of chastity

Chapter 388 Coming to Xingyang
As for Li Tai's idea of ​​taking a walk, to be honest, although the people present wanted to oppose it, Li Tai is Henan Yin after all. If he wants to govern, he decided to take a walk on the Henan Road, which is reasonable in itself. thing.

If Li Tai sat in Luoyang City and slapped his head, what policies to implement for the entire Henan Province would be a headache.

And Li Tai continued, "I also want to see if the students of the agricultural school have practiced the school motto at the beginning, and whether they can really take it as their mission to provide food and clothing for the people of the world."

Hearing Li Tai's words, the few people present did not speak much now.

At this time, Wang Zhenru said, "Does King Wei have a detailed road plan?"

"Don't worry, just follow the road you are repairing!" Li Tai said, "As for the high-speed section, there is no need to speed up. According to the original plan, just build it slowly!"

Wang Zhenru couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he heard Li Tai's words.

To be honest, he was really afraid that Li Tai would want to inspect the viaduct, and then force the craftsmen to build the viaduct.

But Li Tai really didn't have this hope.

After all, in this era, viaducts and highways are built over mountains and mountains, and there are no modern equipment. All that is available is the skills accumulated by the top bridge architects of this era, and these alien slaves can fill in casually.

But if I really want to build a viaduct, I'm afraid it will definitely take a very desperate time.

Therefore, Li Tai's goal is to carry out road works for widening or leveling on the basis of the original roads in Henan Province, and the entire project should be completed in three years.

Those who use the best points sorted out by Fan Yuefeng as the nodes, re-open roads in the wilderness, and even have many winding mountain roads or viaducts for horse-drawn expressways, it will take longer to build.

During this process, there will definitely be people who will wait impatiently and hope that they can fix it quickly, but before these guys make a fuss, build the expressway from Luoyang to Xingyang, and they will see the effect, so naturally they will not say more what.

After all, if it really broke out, wouldn't I be afraid of changing people? As long as the market has confidence, this worldly family will be the least difficult to find.

"As for the first stop, it is naturally Xingyang!" Li Tai said calmly,

"No matter what, I have been in Henan Road for so long, and I have never dealt with these local snakes, so they won't be at ease!"

Wang Zhenru didn't talk too much anymore, he just felt that he had to work harder.

The road has been built for so long, and the progress of the expressway from Luoyang to Xingyang is not fast. Wei Wang can forgive himself, but how can he forgive himself.

Especially Fan Yuefeng, don't think that he can live a happy life of playing Go and drinking a little wine if he took out the general design drawing.

There are many places where mathematics needs to be used in architecture, and it is even more important to need a guy like him who has the finishing touch.

Seeing that he is only 40 to [-] years old, two hours of sleep a day is enough, and the rest of the time is for me to calculate the optimal solution for the project!

Wang Zhenru's eyes lit up, as if a flame was burning, and the people sitting beside him felt a bit of heat.

Li Tai looked at Lu Cai and Du Chuke. To be honest, Li Tai wished that he could have a counselor by his side.

But the reality is that it is because of their hard work that I can steal some free time and go out for a walk.

Almost, after optimizing the details, Li Tai was ready to set off with two strong men Zu Changming and Zhao Jia, secretary Bai He, and a few strong-looking soldiers.
Finally, Li Tai thought about it, and decisively discarded those strong masters, and chose a few guys who looked thinner.

Li Tai knew very well, although these guys looked thin now, they came out of the Xuanjia Army of the Army Soul.

If you really want to fight, as long as you don't come with thousands of troops, this selected team will definitely save your life.

The road to Xingyang was considered to be the smoothest. Along the way, Li Tai and the others rode horses and followed the flow of people slowly.

Li Tai carried it, estimated the flow of people on this street, and walked all the way to Xingyang in a leisurely manner, paid the gate fee, and entered Xingyang City.

"This Xingyang still has a city gate fee!" Li Tai said with a little emotion, "I've been in Luoyang for a long time, and I almost forgot about it!"

"Wei...Lang Jun, that's all you need to order to cancel the city gate fee!" Zu Changming almost yelled the wrong thing, and couldn't help but said, "Why Luoyang, even the night market is not banned now, let alone this city. I don't know when the door fee will happen!"

"Call me Li Langjun, not Wei Langjun!" Li Tai corrected him slightly, shook his head and said,
"The existence of the city gate fee is indeed not conducive to the flow of people and business exchanges, but in fact, as long as you don't commit any crimes, even ordinary people can afford the city gate fee of one penny or two.

The existence of this city gate fee can be regarded as a low-cost taxation method, and it is also a hint to the people not to come into the city if they have nothing to do.

But if I really want to cancel it, I need a sage to order it. I will take care of Luoyang, and Henan Road can't take care of it! "

Li Tai is very clear about his own position, he can never take care of everything.

After all, he is the king of Wei, but he is only the king of Wei. Taxation and other things are all formulated by the Ministry of Civil Affairs, so it is definitely not easy to move.

Don't look at yourself now, it seems that everyone in Datang seems to be liked by everyone, that's because I have developed wealth in a field that I didn't discover in Datang.

But if you change the current wealth distribution method yourself, I am afraid that it is not the Confucianism who wants to die, but the bureaucrats, large and small, who are involved in the corresponding interests, want to die.

Therefore, things like the city gate fee seem small, but my ability is limited, and now I'm afraid I really can't move it!
"Chang Ming, you go and ask about the more distinctive restaurants in the local area, let's go and have a taste!" Li Tai said.

Soon, everyone was led into a restaurant, Li Tai, Bai He, Zu Changming, Zhao Jia had a table, and the others had a table.

He randomly ordered a few special dishes, especially a live boiled fish. Li Tai tasted it, but it was a pity that it was not the Yellow River carp.

Li Tai thought that these taverns would chop off the heads of the Yellow River carp, and then sneak in to fish in troubled waters, so disappointed!

However, before Li Tai started, Bai He consciously picked up every dish, and found that there was nothing wrong with it, so he asked Li Tai to pick up the dishes. Li Tai looked at Bai He and said, "You, come out!" You don't need to eat like this."

When Bai He heard Li Tai's words, he shook his head and said, "It's because I came out to eat, so I have to be more careful."

"I'm not my Aye, life is not so precious!" Li Tai shook his head and said,
"Don't do this in the future, otherwise, for some low-level people, I'm afraid you will feel that you are insulting them with such behavior."

"This..." Bai He hesitated when he heard Li Tai's words, not knowing whether he should listen or not.

"Actually, in a shop like this, what kind of food will fill you up after all, and this is what I'm really interested in!"

As Li Tai said, he stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a portion of dried persimmons, sized it up, and said,
"This kind of desserts are usually relatively cheap local specialties, and it is the beginning of February, and the melons and fruits are not abundant. This kind of dried persimmons are preserved from last year, and they are just as desserts for guests to eat!"

"Is this from last year?" Bai He's expression changed when he heard Li Tai's words.

She knew the persimmons, but generally the persimmons were the first batch of tribute to the imperial court. After the Chinese New Year, the persimmons were basically not sent to the palace for dessert.

"Persimmons can be preserved for half a year, or even a year, which is quite a special feature!"

Li Tai said and took a bite, compared with the carefully selected persimmons in the palace, they were relatively sour, but compared with the modern saccharine persimmons, the sweetness was even worse.

However, Li Tai didn't care and even got a little excited, and said to Bai He, "Record it, this persimmon is worth trading."

"Of order!" Bai He nodded when he heard Li Tai's words, but looked at Li Taidao with some doubts,
"Lang Jun, are you going to promote this dried persimmon? It doesn't taste good!"

"It's very good, at least a little sweet crop. As long as it is sweet these days, something that can last for a long time is a good thing!" Li Tai said: "After all, this world is so bitter, no one can resist the feeling of sweetness."

"Wei—Lang Jun, be careful with your words!" Seeing Li Tai's unrestrained speech again, Bai He quickly became serious.

At this moment, under the rule of Zhenguan, the country has won successive battles and victories abroad, and the Qinghe Yan in the inner sea, where is the suffering of the world.

At least in Bai He's view, this is really a good time that couldn't be better.

At the end of the Sui Dynasty, the population of 4000 fell off a cliff to 1000. At least for the current Bai He, she really couldn't imagine what a tragic scene it was.

Looking at Baihe's appearance, Li Tai couldn't help but smile, but he didn't intend to say any more.

Because from my point of view from later generations, even the rule of Zhenguan is almost the most clear era in feudal history, but in my opinion, there are still many places that need improvement.

Because he is a person who has really seen the sun, so no matter how bright the light brought by the moon is, Li Tai also knows that now he is in the night, not in the day.

"This is Xingyang, let's go to the Agricultural Society to find Sun San. He is the president of the local Agricultural Society. People like him should know better. Which one is better for the raw materials of this dried persimmon?" Li Tai thought about it. .

"Is your lord going to study persimmons?" Bai He looked at Li Tai, but said, "Still studying persimmons?"

"Of course, try to grow sweeter persimmons and change it from the source!" Li Tai said with a smile,
"Otherwise, we sprinkle powdered sugar directly on top, I believe it will make it sweeter, but most people can't afford it.

I don't have much interest in researching things that ordinary people can't afford. "

"But the Yellow River carp, I really want to eat it~ Legend has it that it was a famous dish in Xingyang in the Sui Dynasty!" Li Tai sighed helplessly, "But now, the Yellow River carp is no longer available, really, why is it banned? !"

The corners of the mouths of the few present couldn't help twitching when they heard this.

Zhao Jia's eyes couldn't help turning to Zu Changming, as if to say: "Has King Wei's words and deeds always been so brave?"

Zu Changming also frowned at Zhao Jia, as if saying, "Wei Wang's words and deeds can't be controlled!"

"Lang Jun, you'd better eat it quickly, this duck sliced ​​burrito with special ingredients tastes very good!"

Baihe also knew that he couldn't let King Wei continue talking nonsense anymore, it's better to let him shut up quickly!
Li Tai was not polite, and took a bite of the duck sliced ​​burrito dipped in sauce.

I have to say that this duck burrito is tender and moist, with an indescribable toughness in the skin, mixed with sliced ​​crispy duck skin, the sauce wrapped in this burrito explodes from the mouth in one bite Come.

Although it's just a folk snack, the taste touches people's minds, and people can't help chewing, and want to pick up the next one after eating one.

This method, which is similar to Peking duck, should be derived from "One Hundred Ways of Noodles".

After all, for Li Tai back then, this way of eating can combine noodles and duck, and it's not difficult to make, and it tastes delicious.

It's just that it is usually eaten with cucumbers, but this time it is mixed with green onions, which is more spicy and slightly sweet, crisp and silky.

They look similar, but in fact they have distinct layers. It has to be said that the contribution of the green onion is not small.

"Remember this green onion too!" Li Tai said to Bai He, "The taste of this green onion is very good, and it is also worth cultivating!"

Although Bai He himself couldn't appreciate the nuances in this, Bai He still believed in Li Tai's tongue.

After all, in Chang'an, who doesn't know that although Li Tai is the most profitable person, he is also the most extravagant person.

Although he eats a buffet every day, he pays great attention to each dish, but out of an attitude of not wasting, so the servants can also eat after him.

But in the process, the duck tongue, chicken tip, middle wing, and various animal bodies are only eaten partly. If many of them were not used by other chefs to make other dishes, I am afraid that someone would have warned Li Tai for extravagance and waste. up.

In fact, Zhang Xuansu had already complained about this thing, but after Li Tai returned to his family's self-selected meal mode, the courtiers didn't say any more about Li Tai's waste, at most they said Li Tai was extravagant.

It's just that since then, there have been more and more servants who want to enter Wei Wangfu.

After all, they didn't eat what was left over from Li Tai's food, but what was left over.

In other words, to be a servant in Wei Wang's mansion is to eat the same food as Wei Wang!

"Onion should also remember?" Zhao Jia heard Li Tai's words, but said a little bit involuntarily.

"Although green onion is small, it is a very important ingredient. With this guy, a county might be able to prosper!" Li Tai laughed.
