Chapter 412 Dengzhou fish is popular in Bianjing

The next day, Zhao Xu came to Kaifeng Mansion.

It was officially announced that the post of 'Ti Jing'an Fang Official Affairs' has been established in Kaifeng Mansion - you can directly understand it as the leading group for the transformation of Jing'an Fang urban village in Bianjing City.

Cai Jing concurrently held this position, and at the same time appointed Zhang Yu, the housekeeper of the promotion store, and Song Yongchen, the provincial guard and guard, and also in charge of the official affairs of Gou Jing'anfang.

This is to let Cai Jing, Zhang Wei, and Song Yongchen form a team to solve this matter together.

In fact, there is a high probability that Cai Jing will not be in charge of this department personally, while Song Yongchen is only here to supervise. In fact, the power will definitely fall into Zhang Yi's hands.

This can be regarded as Zhao Xu's test against Zhang Yi.

Young people need more experience.

At the same time, Zhao Xu ordered the inspection of Bianjing Youjundu, the official affairs of Youxiang in the inner city of Kaifeng Prefecture, the capital of Jing'anfang, and the inspection of military shops in Jing'anfang. They all obeyed the orders of the official affairs of Jing'anfang and were not allowed to disobey them.

As for how to do this?
Zhao Xu had made it clear to Song Yongchen a long time ago, just let Song Yongchen directly contact Cai Jing and Zhang Yi.

Arrange this matter.

Zhao Xu followed the routine and checked the files and files of Kaifeng Mansion. At the same time, he made some instructions on some cases where he saw problems, and asked Kaifeng Mansion to retrial or investigate them.

These things are actually just for show.

The Kaifeng Mansion will not and cannot put those cases that are truly sensitive and easily misjudged before the imperial court.

Zhao Xu would not really investigate the affairs of Kaifeng Mansion.

What if something is actually found?
Right!

For some things, it's better to pretend to be confused when it's time to pretend to be confused, so as not to cause trouble for yourself.

This is a truth that Zhao Xu has realized a long time ago.

After doing all these superficial things, Zhao Xu, under Shi Deyi's arrangement, went to the side hall of the Plum Blossom Hall to eat and rest.

As usual, his lunch was cooked by Feng Jing himself.

Of course, the food eaten in Kaifeng Mansion is relatively rich and delicious compared to the palace.

Because the dishes in the palace are fixed and will not change easily, there are just the same dishes that come and go.

Of course Zhao Xu can ask them to increase it.

But once the decree reaches Yu Chu, there will only be one result - Yu Chu will choose to regard today's order from Zhao Xu as a permanent order.

Dishes requested by him will be prepared for three meals a day.

This would create a lot of waste!

Although this kind of waste is actually not worth mentioning to the royal family.

But Zhao Xu wants to put on a show!
Therefore, in the palace, he always asked Feng Jing to prepare meals for him in the imperial kitchen.

At the same time, all he ordered were the healthy meals that the imperial chef had.

The same few dishes are always on rotation.

At most, Feng Jing and the chefs from the imperial kitchen mastered the yogurt making technology and incorporated it into the autumn and winter breakfast.

Naturally, others also asked him.

At this time, Zhao Xu's long-planned preparations came into use - I heard that Renmiao was hungry in the old year and wanted to eat roasted sheep. I asked the ministers to prepare it from the imperial kitchen. Renmiao refused, saying: Bi Wen Every time there is a request within the ban, the outside world will take it as an example.I sincerely hope that they will be slaughtered night after night to prepare for untimely supply.As time goes by, there will be many harmful things.How can we not bear to be discouraged for one night and start endless killings?
I dare not destroy the great virtue of my ancestors!
Therefore, Zhao Xu's answer earned countless tears.

Coupled with Zhao Xu's frugal character who insists on eating three meals a day - no more than four dishes and two soups - he has successfully won a lot of hearts.

Nowadays, the image of a frugal and self-denying king has been successfully created in the minds of the scholar-bureaucrats in Bianjing.

This image is very useful.

It can avoid countless risks for Zhao Xu, and also make what he wants to do full of justice.

Take the renovation of Jing’anfang as an example.

If there were another emperor, people inside and outside the court might feel that he was trying to make money.

But Zhao Xu doesn't know how.

Because the official family is extremely frugal even with three meals a day.

How could it be possible to do bad things just to make money?

Officials only do this out of filial piety!
What's wrong with the officials? !
Cry, cry for me!

But in fact, does Zhao Xu have anything to lose?

No!

Four dishes and two soups were enough nutrition for him, but many times he couldn't finish them.

Of course, he also wants to eat meat.

At this time, the opportunity to leave the palace every five days became an opportunity for him to indulge in meat.

The Detective Department is in his hands, and he can be considered fooled by it.

One of the tasks that Zhao Xu now gives to the Detective Department is to let them try all kinds of snacks and snacks in Bianjing City.

Find out which stores have the best flavor and are the most popular.When he leaves the palace, ask Feng Jing to send someone to order it in advance, and then pack it up and bring it to Kaifeng Mansion.

Naturally, Zhao Xu also made good use of the waste and asked Bianjing New Newspaper to open a special section to introduce Bianjing's snack shops and comment on them.

Now this store exploration column has been published in its third issue. It is said to be very popular, and many gourmets have begun to take notice.

What Zhao Xu had at noon today was not takeout.

It is the Dengzhou dried fish that has become popular in Bianjing City recently.

Because it was highly recommended by Su Shi and was written at the beginning of his song "Shui Tiao Song" which has been sung all over the world.This dish is one of the masterpieces of "Double Ninth Festival Solar Eclipse, Dengzhou Fish and Huaizi".

Nowadays, among scholars, because of this poem by Su Shi, there has been a trend - if students of the same year or classmates gather together, if they don't eat Dengzhou fish, they will have no feelings and the relationship will not be close enough.

why?
The number one poet of the Song Dynasty personally wrote and endorsed the lyrics - true brothers must eat Dengzhou fish.

I didn't see that Su Shi and Su Zizhan burst into tears because they ate Dengzhou fish. They recalled the past of studying and traveling with Su Che in the past, so they looked at Bianjing from a distance and silently wished their brother all the best in Bianjing.

The love of brotherhood overflows in words.

In this poem, Su Shi even wrote again: I hope that people will live long and share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart.

It's just to promote Dengzhou dried fish. I don't even have the nerve to copy it myself.

But the effect is beyond imagination.

Dengzhou dried fish has been sold out throughout Songzhou County, especially in Bianjing City this year.

Of course, during this process, Zhao Xu directed the Detective Department to do some trivial tasks.

For example, sending people everywhere to praise the freshness of Dengzhou fish, or asking newspaper boys to sing nursery rhymes about Dengzhou fish in the streets after selling newspapers.

They even directly asked Bianjing Xinbao to publish a report that Dengzhou’s dried fish was in short supply.

In just one or two months, a consumer market for Dengzhou dried fish was created directly in Bianjing City.

The Detective Department estimates that in the second month alone, at least several thousand kilo of Dengzhou dried fish entered the Bianjing market.

In the Song Dynasty, one stone was 92 and a half kilograms. In other words, Bianjing City sold [-] to [-] kilograms of dried fish in one month.

Nowadays, some Bianjing merchants go directly to Dengzhou Pier to wait for Dengzhou fishermen to come ashore, then directly buy their catch, dry it on the spot and transport it back to Bianjing for sale.

Zhao Xu didn't wait too long. Soon, Feng Jing and his team brought the prepared dried fish and braised pork ribs to the table.

Zhao Xu picked up a piece, put it in his mouth and tasted it.

The delicious and rich taste of sea fish immediately blooms on the tip of the tongue.

"It's delicious!" He smiled and kept picking up vegetables, and soon he was full.

After eating, Zhao Xu wiped his mouth under Feng Jing's service.

Shi Deyi, who had been waiting outside the door, finally found the opportunity to come in and report: "Everyone, Huang, a merchant from Xuzhou, brought us here."

Zhao Xu stood up, walked to the prepared curtain, ordered someone to lower the curtain, and said: "Bring him in.

"promise!"

……

Huang Liang took a handkerchief and wiped his sweat.

His fat body was even trembling.

Official reception? !
This was something he never thought was possible.

Naturally, I was extremely nervous and anxious.

At the same time, he was also very excited.

Huang Lu, the elder brother of the clan, once worshiped Yu Shi Zhongcheng as one of the four heads. It is said that he only met the official a few times in the palace and only talked to the official a few words.

But he, a side branch who helped the family with business and made some money, was able to visit the official family at close range and listen to instructions before his elder brother.

The most important thing is - as long as the officials see the right thing.

Then he might not be able to become Tao Zhugong of the Song Dynasty.

He might even leave his name in history - something he never dared to dream about in the past.

However, the risks are also high.

If you are not careful, Qing Shi's name will become a disaster for the family.

Maybe clan brother Huang Lu will suffer the same fate.

Therefore, he could only breathe deeply as much as possible to calm himself down.

But the sweat on his forehead kept flowing down.

The underwear on my back gradually became soaked.

Finally, a voice sounded in his ears: "Your Majesty has been ordered to bring Xuzhou merchant Huang Liang to the throne."

Huang Liang quickly used the etiquette he had practiced for a long time, knelt down and worshiped: "The common people obey the will."
