Datang first village

Kinderman is too smart, and it is not luck at all for such a smart woman to become the Queen of Silla.

Li Yuanxing slowly put the delicious dinner in his mouth, savoring it carefully.

Seeing that Li Yuanxing did not speak, Kinderman stopped talking and sat down with Li Changying.

One table, ten people, just right.

On this table, there is an extra wonderful mechanism, placed in modern times, it is so ordinary that it cannot be more ordinary.That is to add a circular turntable, and the dishes can be rotated on the table.

But in Datang, this is an extremely surprising thing.

Roller bearings are the pinnacle technology of Datang machining. This is the simplest lathe to turn them out.Before there is no better technology, this is really the pinnacle technology.

Li Yuanxing stretched out his hand and slowly turned the turntable, and a plate of purple round cakes stopped in front of Kinderman.

"This is called purple sweet potato pancake. This king eats it as a snack, but they think it is the main course. Purple sweet potato, in my Tang Dynasty, only the royal family serves it exclusively, and the folks don't have it." Li Yuanxing didn't explain further, this sentence Words are enough to show the preciousness of this dish.

Purple, of course, is exclusively for the royal family.

Ziwei Star is also known as Emperor Star, so purple has indirectly become a noble color. In the history of China, each dynasty is also different. During the Great Qin Dynasty, black was the authentic color.In the Tang Dynasty, the red color was more preferred, and the emperor also liked the bright yellow color. In fact, the golden color was used as the imperial robe.

As for Ziwei Star, there is another name, which is Polaris.

Li Yuanxing's back garden is lined with the Big Dipper. This is Yuan Tiangang's design, and it is also the privilege given by Li Er.

The king of Qin in the Tang Dynasty is the king who stands side by side with one word.

When Kinderman heard the purple sweet potato cake, he naturally felt a kind of dignity, and held up a piece with both hands: "Thank you, Your Highness, King Qin." Then he took a light bite.

Don't underestimate the level of chefs in the Tang Dynasty. With the rich materials and Li Yuanxing's training, they are definitely not inferior to those of later generations.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Kinderman's second bite was obviously bigger than the first bite.

A small white hand quickly grabbed a piece of purple potato cake, and then sent it to the beautiful cherry mouth.

Cherry sips?Good guy, I bit off most of it in one bite.

"Xiuyan, don't be rude!" Cui Yingying tried to persuade, but she saw Zheng Xiuyan put the half piece into her mouth, took a piece in each hand, and smiled at Cui Yingying.

Li Yuanxing also smiled: "Be careful not to choke, this is not easy to swallow!"

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Zheng Xiuyan's voice was not low, and she smiled cheerfully. Maybe this is what an innocent girl should look like, instead of putting on the airs of Princess Qin all day long and being so serious.

All the girls also started together. They had already eaten sweet potatoes, and this was the first time they had made food from sweet potatoes.

"Your Highness, the annual yield of [-] jin per mu should be introduced to Hebei for planting." Li Liyuan suggested.

"Let Cui Changshi think about these things. You just have to eat to your heart's content." Li Yuanxing no longer cared much about how the food was grown.With this output, the aristocratic family started planting, and the common people naturally followed suit.

Cui Yingying said at this time: "Your Highness, the guards should be punished for stealing sweet potatoes!"

"Go and make arrangements, there is a rule in everything. However, don't make it too difficult for them. Give some sweet potatoes to the artisans and let them taste it. There is always not enough food, and now there is more food, whether it is the Guards, Farmers or craftsmen may also have some ideas. Let Cui Yiye handle this matter."

Li Yuanxing ordered that now the concubines are real housekeepers.

Most of Qinwangzhuang's affairs are decided by them.

Before dinner was finished, a second-class maid brought by Cui from Qinghe went to inform Bai Erwa quietly.

"What are you afraid of!" Bai Erwa said carelessly, but seeing the second-class maid crying, Bai Erwa scratched her head and said, "Your Highness is kind and won't punish you severely. If you want to come to the roasted sweet potato, you When you eat, don't you also steal it for fun, such a delicious thing, it would be foolish not to steal it!"

Wow!

The second-class maid burst into tears, she was frightened, she was really afraid that Bai Erwa would be severely punished.

You know, in the Qinghe Cui family in the past, those who stole serious things would be beaten to death.

"Okay, I will take the lead in this matter and carry it for the brothers!" Before Bai Erwa finished speaking, she was knocked down by a slap suddenly appeared. In Qin Wangzhuang, he was knocked down with a slap, and he could be counted on one hand.Looking back, it really was an old wolf.

"Get out, I want you to top the tank, get out!" The old wolf kicked Bai Erwa again, and then said to the other captains with a cold face: "Get out, go back and rest."

The old wolf came to the backyard alone, knelt at the gate of the courtyard, and said that he had come to apologize.

Sorry!Li Yuanxing looked at Cui Yingying with a smile on his face, and then raised his chin, which meant that you should take care of it.

Cui Yingying held up the corner of her skirt, and walked quickly to the gate of the courtyard. First, she asked the guards to help the old wolf. The old wolf clasped his fists: "The matter of stealing sweet potatoes is due to lax discipline, and so-and-so accepted punishment!"

"Then I will punish you to work for [-] hours. All those who go to steal food will go to the farm to help during your rest time. The summer harvest will be imminent, and the grain is the foundation. Take advantage of the good weather and store the grain in one go. !" Cui Yingying finished with a straight face, and then took a few steps closer to the old wolf: "Did the maid in the courtyard inform Bai Erwa?"

"Yes!" The old wolf did not tell lies, one is one, and two is two.

Cui Yingying smiled and nodded: "You go and punish Bai Erwa severely, and then tell him, I'm ready for their affairs!"

The old wolf was stunned for a moment, then laughed too, clenched his fist joints and answered loudly: "The old wolf takes orders!"

The old wolf beat up Bai Erwa, and after Bai Erwa was beaten for nothing, he asked the reason: "There must be a reason for beating me." Several friends who were friends with Bai Erwa also came to persuade, The other two said, "We stole it too, and if you want to beat us, we will admit it."

The old wolf was amused: "This boy is not stealing sweet potatoes, but people. Princess Ying has already approved their affairs, but ask someone to punish Bai Erwa severely. Some..." The old wolf just said that he had just started his activities. When the second round was about to start, seven or eight captains pushed Bai Erwa to the ground and praised her hard.

The old wolf was stunned, not understanding what was going on.

Cui Yiye waved a folding fan, and Du Shuangyu, who was holding a roasted sweet potato, also came over.

Seeing Bai Erwa being beaten, instead of persuading them, Du Shuangyu stretched out her foot and kicked Bai Erwa's ass a few times.

"What's going on here?" Old Wolf asked.

Cui Yiye replied with a smile: "Wolf General, everyone was deceived by him. He wanted to steal sweet potatoes. Now I think he didn't want to eat them. It wasn't for everyone to eat, but to please a woman. Everyone was dragged down by him." , As a result, more than 1000 catties of sweet potatoes were dug in the middle of the night, and a few days ago, he encouraged everyone to steal cherry tomatoes from half an acre of land.

Bai Erwa was being beaten, but she was smiling, unable to close her mouth in joy.

The iron-blooded soldier of the Tang Dynasty received hundreds of punches and kicks, and it was just a massage. Bai Erwa protected his vitals, and smiled silly while being beaten.

"This idiot!"

The next morning, when Li Yuanxing woke up, Li Changying whispered in his ear, "Your Highness, there are dozens of officials kneeling in front of the main gate of King Qinzhuang, saying they are here to plead guilty."

"What day is it today!" Li Yuanxing asked while putting on his clothes.

Li Changying shook his head: "This year, there are no special days!"

"What's the crime again!" Li Yuanxing put on his clothes and strode out.Cui Yiye and Lu Maofeng were already waiting in front of the backyard. After Li Yuanxing got into the soft sedan chair, Cui Yiye said, "Your Highness, the matter has been clarified. They pleaded guilty because Chang'an County simply can't hold the summer harvest. .”

Li Yuanxing froze for a moment: "Continue!"

"The Tang corn from Luoyang will arrive soon, and the first batch has already arrived at the wharf in Chang'an West on the Weihe River. Whether it is to change the carriage or continue to take the boat, you can reach Chang'an within a day. The official warehouse in Chang'an can barely accommodate this. batch, the next two batches have already been shipped, and there is no place to load them at all!"

"Well, do you need an apology?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

Cui Yiye flipped through his notebook quickly: "His Royal Highness, according to your daily records, you said in Luoyang: Some people should die, they don't even have enough granaries, and he is an official for nothing! According to the records staff According to the saying, a bumper harvest is a great joy, but there is no storehouse to hold the grain after a bumper harvest, that's why His Highness said such words."

Li Yuanxing said, he recalled, this is what he said to Qu Tutong.

"How far is it?"

"Your Highness, there is no longer any room left in Luoyang. Now Luoyang is really afraid of rain. The country's stockpiling of grain is also a national priority. Therefore, it is not wrong for them to transport it to Chang'an. The price of grain in Chang'an is likely to drop. Old grain The price is lower than ten cents and one dou, it's a sure thing!" Cui Yiye reported in a low voice.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "What would the Holy Majesty say, and what would the Six Parts say?"

"The Holy Majesty said that this was the beginning of the Tang Dynasty's prosperity. The Household Department meant that all the old grain was cleared and transported to Liaodong. It was given to the Khitan and Mohe people, and the part owed during the battle between Liaocheng and Jian'an was first paid. Those left in Liaocheng and Jian'an will be used as military rations. However, there are still not enough granaries!"

When Cui Yiye said these words, he kept a smile on his face.

Li Yuanxing continued to the door. There were dozens of officials kneeling here, and several of them were wearing scarlet official uniforms.

"Don't apologize for now, let's have some breakfast in the living room, and I will listen to your report!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he gave a little help to the leading official, and then returned to the village.

In Chang'an City!royal palace.

Li Er laughed while eating breakfast.

"Erlang, why are you so happy!"

"I'm happy. Throughout the dynasties, countless emperors have worried about not having enough food. Today, in the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, when it was dark, dozens of officials rushed out of the city to plead guilty to Goro for having too much food and not enough warehouses. "(To be continued.)
