God-level prince of the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 549 Confucius Has Moved Out

After Li Shimin entered the East Palace, within a short time, all the ministers also came to meet with Li Shimin, Empress Changsun and others.

At this time Li Chengqian stood in front of Li Shimin.

Sun Simiao is also among them.

First, Li Shimin asked, "Gao Ming, when will the vegetables be served?"

Li Shimin couldn't wait anymore, his mouth was lonely, and he wanted to eat fresh vegetables.

Li Chengqian still looked unhurried.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, my son will let people serve the food."

But he was thinking in his heart, why worry, it will definitely open your eyes in a while!

After it was over, the little Huangmen began to serve dishes one by one.They look like restaurant waiters, even the plates have lids.

People are very curious, why is there something in the lid?
People don't know what's on it until the lid is lifted.

One of the dishes served first was braised eggplant.

The aroma of eggplant surrounds the entire East Palace.It made people swallow their saliva uncontrollably.

This is a vegetable that is not available in winter. Even if it is available, it is only preserved after harvesting in autumn, and it cannot be kept for so long.

As soon as the dishes were served, Fang Xuanling said first, "Unexpectedly, in this winter, you can still eat eggplant!"

That moving look also infected other people.

Eggplant is not eaten all year round, and now it seems that it is possible.

Du Ruhui also said: "That's right, His Royal Highness is a great talent, and the method he thought of was to use the light transmission of glass to introduce light into the greenhouse, and then heat the greenhouse to reach the growth temperature. It’s simply recreating a growth environment!”

Just now Li Chengqian had told them the principle, and people suddenly realized that it was so.

Li Jing also said: "These out-of-season vegetables look very attractive, how do you feel about eating them?"

After speaking, my mouth is watering.

"From my old Cheng's point of view, it's better to take a bite first? Don't you know then?"

After all, before Li Shimin could start, Cheng Yaojin had already swallowed half a plate of eggplant.

Then he said: "Well, this eggplant is well cooked! It's very flavorful! It's delicious!"

In this way, it is gone.

It made everyone extremely depressed.Giving him something to eat is a waste!
But when it comes to anti-season, some people can't sit still at this time.

This person is Xiao Yu.

He stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something to say, I don't know whether to say it or not."

Most of what was said at this time was unfavorable to Li Chengqian.

Now that he wanted to talk, Li Shimin had no choice but to let him talk. Besides, this guy can be regarded as a founding hero.

So he said: "Xiao Yu, if you have any insights, you can talk about them. Let everyone listen!"

"Confucius once said: Eat buttons and eat them. Fish will lose their meat. Don't eat them. If you look bad, you won't eat them. If you smell bad, you won't eat them. Sauce, don’t eat. Gujiu market preserves, don’t eat.”

What Xiao Yu was talking about was Confucius' famous "Eight No Foods" theory, which contains very advanced dietary concepts. You can't eat things that are stale, discolored, improperly cooked, such as burnt things, and out-of-season vegetables and fruits. Eat, three meals should be regular, some parts of animals that are not suitable for eating should not be eaten, and things bought from unhygienic stalls in the market should not be eaten, it is very particular.

"Your Majesty, Confucius has a brilliant exposition on this: "Among them: don't eat from time to time.That is to say, do not eat dishes that are not in season.But His Royal Highness the Crown Prince actually did the opposite, I thought that this might be bad.And in this way, the expenditure is very large, and if the people know it, it may not be beneficial to the people! "

What Xiao Yu said was really well-founded, making it impossible to refute.

But when Li Chengqian heard these words, he smiled at them.

At that time, didn't he eat out-of-season fruits and vegetables the same?

I have never seen anyone who eats people to death. People in the Confucius era were still ignorant of these things. Of course, it is better not to touch them.

In fact, off-season vegetables appeared as early as the Qin and Han Dynasties.

"Han Shu Biography of Zhao Xinchen" clearly records that the ancients ate off-season vegetables.Zhao Xinchen was a well-known law-abiding official (Xunli) at that time. At that time, the royal vegetable special supply base "Taiguan Garden" planted off-season vegetables, which cost a lot of money every year.

Zhao Xinchen suggested not to do this: "The Taiguan Garden grows spring onions and leeks in winter, and covers them with the roof. They burn the fire day and night, and wait for the warm air to grow. It is illegal food for offerings, and it will save tens of millions of years."

"Yunhuo" is a method of burning without flame, the purpose is to increase the temperature in the room, which is beneficial to the growth of vegetables.Zhao Xinchen said that off-season vegetables are "illegal food" and cannot be eaten. Obviously this is a big deception, and its real purpose is to persuade the royal family not to be too extravagant.However, the production and supply of off-season vegetables for the royal family did not stop during the Han Dynasty.

Until the Tang Dynasty, people still seldom touched this greenhouse vegetable.It is also because the cost is too high and the output cannot keep up.No one did either.

Even if there is, it is not as advanced as Li Chengqian, who directly uses glass to produce, and the varieties produced are also very large, and the appearance is attractive.

For Xiao Yu, Li Chengqian had already thought about how to refute.

This has to be refuted bit by bit.

What Xiao Yu said made everyone fall into deep thought, because it was well-founded.

"Gao Ming, what do you think?"

What Li Shimin asked was what everyone wanted to know.

"Your Majesty, my son wants to refute!"

"Oh?"

Li Chengqian refuted very easily.

He did the opposite, firstly said: "Song Guogong mentioned two points, this king will not say anything about the first point, I will talk about it later, the second point is simply making trouble for no reason!"

As soon as these words came out, Xiao Yu's face turned red, what?Unreasonable trouble?

After all, I am also a veteran of the two dynasties, and I have some relatives with Li Yuan.

Xiao Yu's wife is Empress Dugu's natal niece.Li Yuan is the nephew of Empress Dugu, and Li Yuan and Xiao Yu's wife are aunts and cousins.Back then, the two were both officials in the Sui Dynasty.The relationship is very good.When Li Shimin led troops to attack Xue Ju, Xiao Yu and his wife Dugu held a family banquet in honor of him.During the banquet, Li Shimin also respectfully called Xiao Yu and his wife cousins ​​and uncles.

With such a kinship relationship, people would not dare to despise what he said, but now, Li Chengqian said it was unreasonable.

But if Xiao Yu's wife is discarded, he and Li Shimin cannot be regarded as blood relationship.

Being confronted by Li Chengqian, he had no choice but to suppress his breath and say, "I don't know what your highness the crown prince thinks?"

In fact, Li Chengqian had already been scolded bloody in his heart.

Li Chengqian smiled, and said something that made Li Shimin nod his head.
