I was the emperor in the Ming Dynasty

Chapter 263

In order not to embarrass Li Tian, ​​Wang Fu and others also carried a big bowl and filled it indiscriminately.

In front of Li Tian, ​​he imitated Li Tian and squatted on the ground, and started eating with big mouthfuls.

I originally thought that such crudely made things would be unpalatable.

What they didn't expect was that compared with the various delicacies in the palace, this hodgepodge of meals that the lowest class would eat had a special flavor.

Whether it is Wang Fu Jiangbao, Zhang Yongri, or Huang Fei, some of them are actually not low-born.

Even if some are very bitter at the beginning, they are all full of rich clothes and jade food until they get tired of eating.

While eating, Wang Fu was slightly taken aback.

Can't help but say in surprise,
"This taste... this taste is actually [-] to [-]% similar to the food my mother cooks!"

As he spoke, tears flowed down his face.

"My mother was like this when I was a child. She steamed many things together, and didn't pay attention to the combination of meat and vegetables at all...

But because the old slave's family is poor, such meals are not available every day!

Thank you, Your Majesty, thank these chefs, let this old servant regain the taste of the past..."

After listening to his words, the others fell silent.

The poor people don't pay much attention to what they eat every day, they just eat what they get.

As long as it can satisfy the hunger, as long as it can fill the stomach, it is a good thing.

The chefs in the canteen are actually not bad at cooking, and the food they make is not hard to swallow.

The materials they use are also carefully selected and have reached a certain standard.

Although it can't keep up with the royal family's food, it is actually not worse than the meals of ordinary people.

For ordinary people, three meals a day, even if they can eat such things for every meal, is already a fluke, and there is still such a requirement.

The same food tastes different in different people's mouths.

Li Tian didn't expect that his unintentional actions could still bring back Wang Fu's childhood memories.

After cleaning the last bit of things with the rice bowl.

Li Tian wiped his mouth casually, smiled and said to several people,
"What do you think of the taste?"

Wang Fu had just finished expressing his exclamation, so naturally he praised loudly and gave a very high evaluation.

As for Jiang Bao, Zhang Yongri and others, although the food was delicious, they didn't have much emotion, but seeing what Wang Fu said, how dare they say that it was not delicious.

"Not bad, very good, this is the most special meal the slave has ever had."

Li Tian also knew that what they said was insincere, but he didn't intend to expose it.

After getting up, he sighed slightly,

"Ordinary people's life, no matter what their needs are, they are nothing more than two things.

The tiles above the head to shelter from the wind and rain, and the food in the pot to fill the hunger when you are hungry, that's all! "

"They don't ask for much, but they are busy all year round, and many of them still can't even meet this minimum demand."

"Why is this? Is there not enough land in the world, or are they inherently lazy and not productive?"

"Actually, it's not, but most of their hard-working income has been taken away by corrupt officials, profiteers and bullies."

"But corrupt officials can't be killed, and profiteers and bullies can't be eliminated. Even I am powerless."

Having said that, he paused for a while, seeing the people in front of him lost in thought, he continued,

"As an emperor, why don't I know the sufferings of the people!"

"That's why I racked my brains to find a way to get Tiangongyuan to make tap fire and soap, and let you build these two workshops.

The purpose is to give those homeless people who have no land to cultivate a chance to survive. "

Zhang Yongri has always been thinking of making a lot of money, so he came to be the shopkeeper.

At this time, after listening to Li Tian's heartfelt words, I suddenly felt uncomfortable.

Couldn't help but say,

"Your Majesty, you have a benevolent heart, and the world can learn from your love for the people. I think the common people must feel the same as I do!"

Several other people also bowed their hands, expressing their agreement with Zhang Yongri's words.

Seeing that the dude Zhang Yongri said so, Li Tian knew that the effect he wanted to achieve had finally been achieved.

However, Li Tian turned his head and said suddenly, and said solemnly,

"Of course, helping more people out of suffering is only my first goal."

"What I really want to do is to let the people of the world have a way to live a good life without having to face the loess and their backs to the sky every day."

"And the workshop is the way out."

"Whether the workshop can be made bigger and stronger is related to countless people in the world!
Huang Fei, Yong Ri, you two are carefully selected by me to pave the way for me and the people of the world, now do you understand how heavy the burden is on you! "

Both of them trembled when they heard the words, and immediately knelt down on the ground, solemnly saying,

"Don't worry, Your Majesty, the slave (subject) will not disappoint His Majesty, and make the workshop bigger and stronger!"

Li Tian smiled knowingly when he heard their swearing as if they had beaten chicken blood.

He was secretly proud in his heart, "I'm really a genius, just eating a big pot of rice with them can win people's hearts by the way, why am I so talented."

No matter how much money the match or soap workshop will make Li Tian in the future, they will be just a drop in the ocean among the many workshops in the Ming Empire in the future.

Only because this is the first workshop, Li Tiancai attaches so much importance to it.

It is said that everything is difficult at the beginning, as long as the first level is passed, the road ahead will be smoother.

As the two cores of the workshop, Huang Fei and Zhang Yongri, whether they do their best will have a great impact.

Li Tian also had to use this method to attack them.

Whether it is a heavy punishment or a heavy reward, they all have huge weaknesses. Only by letting them really have a personal sense of identity with their own goals and opportunities.

Only they can truly comprehend the essence of the workshop, and only then can the workshop be successfully run.

There are some things that need to be taught and corrected by him, but there are some things that can only be understood but cannot be expressed in words.

In order not to expose his intention of using workers to counter the increasingly powerful bureaucratic and gentry groups, there is actually only so much he can say and do.

"Okay, very good, if you have such determination, it's not in vain that I have high hopes for you. Get up!"

A simple meal can conquer the hearts of two people, Li Tian feels that there is nothing more cost-effective than this.

In other words, the bowl of rice I ate just now was not unpalatable. Compared with some dark dishes made by those hell chefs in the school back then, I don't know how many times better it is.
