Tang Dynasty good brother

Chapter 72
Almost at the same time that Xiao Yu dragged Pei Ji away, the details of what happened in the Zhengshitang also reached Li Er's ears.

"That kid really said that? Hahahahahaha, Mr. Pei's face must be very exciting, but unfortunately, I didn't see it."

"Yes, this kid is really smart and smart, but Pei Sikong is a first-rank official after all, so he was humiliated by a yellow-haired boy, this..."

Li Er snorted coldly and said: "One product is a fart, if it wasn't for the instability of the country, I would have killed the old man alive to pay homage to Zhao Ren's spirit in heaven."

The death of Liu Wenjing is an eternal pain in Li Shimin's heart. Liu Wenjing and him are more like teachers and friends than monarchs and ministers. Most people in later generations have heard of Fang Mou's decision, but not many have heard of Liu Wenjing, but if Liu Wenjing Still alive, I'm afraid Fang Xuanling is just a killer.

The eunuch said: "Everyone, judging from this matter, this kid is quite arrogant. Although he is not sharp, he is full of vigor. I am afraid it is difficult to control. If anyone becomes his superior, he may have a headache. gone."

Li Er smiled and said: "It's okay, which young man is not frivolous, this boy is unparalleled in learning, and knows how to hide his sharpness, it is not easy. When I polish him well, he must be a pillar for Chengqian .”

The eunuch said yes with a smile, flattered him again, bowed his waist and left.

However, Li Shimin still felt a little emotional in his heart. He really missed Liu Wenjing after Pei Ji made such a fuss today, and said to himself: "Zhao Ren, look at this kid, how much like you were when you were young, it's you There is a soul in the sky, did you send him by my side again?"

………………

On the other side, in the Political Affairs Hall.

Although Qin Hao was still a little uneasy about the fact that he had provoked Pei Ji for no reason, after all he knew that Pei Ji was just yesterday, and he had Fang Xuanling's thigh to hug him, so he let go after a while. But he has a big heart.

In order to enliven the atmosphere, and most importantly, to prevent Qin Hao from being too depressed, which would not be conducive to discussing disaster relief strategies with him later, Gao Shilian said a few jokes, and asked the eunuch to serve, and he ate his lunch first.

But seeing an eunuch with a goldfish talisman coming in from outside, he said with a smile: "Everyone has a will, today the Zhengshitang will give you the imperial meal."

All the prime ministers handed over their hands and thanked En. They were familiar with this, and they didn't have too many tricks, but Qin Hao was very excited.

The royal meal given by the Zhengshitang meant that they would eat whatever the emperor ate. It was not like the leftovers from the Manchu Qing Dynasty, which were all made by the imperial chef. Qin Hao was very excited about the royal cuisine he was about to eat next.

During the Tang Dynasty, although there was a large dining table, many people had already started to share meals in their homes, but in general formal occasions still had to share meals. Naturally, this is the case in Zhengshitang, where the maids take turns delivering dishes to small tables. He started to eat directly, there wasn't even a cafeteria, and after arguing for a long time, what kind of dining table was this table, he thought it was a desk.

Qin Hao asked himself that he was also a senior foodie. He had never eaten a delicious meal when he came to Datang, even when he was in Luoyang County Yamen.

But I saw that the appetizer dessert was served first, which was a bit like a French meal. It was actually a round orange with exquisite patterns carved on it. When I opened it, it was empty and contained a mouthful of soup.

There is no doubt that this should be the famous crab-stuffed orange. In the Tang Dynasty, oranges were extremely expensive, and they were not something ordinary people could afford.

Carefully dug a spoonful and ate it. It was not too sour and sweet. I didn’t even chew the crab meat. I felt that it was not as delicious as throwing the crab into the rice pot to cook the golden porridge. It was pure waste. .

However, Fang Xuanling took out Qin Hao's disaster relief strategy, obviously intending to use the time of eating to explain this matter clearly, the Tang Dynasty really didn't pay much attention to food and sleep.

"Brother Qin, you can see the truth about your first strategy of substituting work for food, but I don't know why you need to use food stamps instead of food. Isn't it good to just distribute food? This can save a process."

Qin Hao explained: "Food stamps are actually far easier to manage than food. They are actually special currencies. The disaster victims also have to have some self-esteem. Besides food for subsistence, there must be other pursuits. Naturally, those who work well will be given more food. Tickets, in addition to the use of food stamps, he will buy some other things with the remaining food stamps, and this will form a small economic group. Can't the food stamps be taken back?"

While talking, when the crab-stuffed oranges were finished, Qin Hao actually used the handle of a spoon to carve two simplified characters on the skin of the oranges: bad review.

When the maid took away the crab stuffed oranges, she was very happy to find that all the butchers except Qin Hao hadn't eaten a few mouthfuls. They were too absorbed in listening to Qin Hao's lecture. Although it was Fang Xuanling who asked the question, everyone Listen carefully.

These leftovers usually go into the stomachs of these servants, and at that moment, the favorability of these court ladies and eunuchs towards Qin Hao has jumped a lot.

Qin Hao continued: "In addition, the biggest role of food stamps is to stabilize people's hearts. In a famine year, people don't feel at ease if they don't have more than a month's rations at home. The same is true for the victims of disasters, and so are the local residents of Luoyang. Tickets are different, as long as the court imposes some restrictions on exchange, and uses various means to guide the people of Luoyang to recognize the value of food stamps, it is absolutely possible to make the people not hoard food but instead hoard food stamps."

While talking, the second course was served, it was an appetizer, a bowl of soup in a high-quality celadon pot, and the aroma came out as soon as the lid was opened. He had seen this dish in modern times but had never eaten it before. !Unable to move his index finger, he lowered his head and quickly ate the shark's fin into his stomach while it was still warm.

Changsun Wuji asked, "Is there a big difference between hoarding food and hoarding food stamps?"

Qin Hao put down the soup bowl, breathed out comfortably, and then continued to speak plainly to everyone: "Of course it's very big. For example, we stock up a hundred thousand shi of grain in Changping warehouse. If these grains are distributed to Luoyang at the same time The common people and the disaster victims in Guanzhong only have a few liters of rice in each household. If they were replaced by food stamps, these victims would feel much more at ease looking at the [-] shi of grain as high as a hill in the Changping warehouse, and even a lot of grain. Those who are richer will not be in a hurry to cash it out, so we can temporarily exchange the food of these people for those who are in urgent need of food, which can make the demand for food less urgent and reduce the pressure on the court."

Since this food stamp can replace currency for a short time, it naturally has a little bit of currency attributes. The food in the Changping warehouse is equivalent to the reserve fund. As long as you don't print and send it blindly, there will always be some leverage, nothing more than strength Be smaller.

While talking, the main course also arrived. As soon as the golden tray was opened, the aroma was tangy, and a piece of hump was roasted deliciously. After taking a quick bite, his brows frowned.

The hump is very fat, and the chefs sprinkled a large layer of pepper to cover the original delicate and layered taste of the hump. It tastes like eating a piece of fat soaked in pepper.

This nima knows that pepper is a very expensive thing in the Tang Dynasty, but there is no need to put it like this. It is a waste of things. Qin Hao unceremoniously carved two simplified characters on the fat with the handle of a spoon: unpalatable .
