A great man of the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 1687: Whole Duck Banquet

"How much money can Sansi pay?"

Zhao Shu asked.

Han Jiang said without hesitation: "Your Majesty, don't worry, as many ducks as you can buy, the three departments will pay in full, no ambiguity!"

"good!"

Zhao Shu admired Han Jiang's attitude, "When it's time to save, you can face my scolding without wavering. When it's time to spend, you have to raise money everywhere even if you grit your teeth, Han Qing..."

Everyone subconsciously looked at the front position.

Han Qi is not here.

"You are very good." Zhao Shu said happily: "Just go and buy it. Han Qi recommended in the memorial to encourage duck raising everywhere. I am going to write a letter to various places to ask the local government to encourage the people to raise ducks... Da Lang."

Zhao Xu came out with a pure look on his face.

This is a group!

When Zhao Shu saw this pure man, he thought of Shen An's pure man.

“Where did most of the locust plagues in recent years in the Song Dynasty occur?”

Most of the people present did not know this question, so they looked at Zhao Xu curiously, wanting to see how much this obscure prince knew.

Zhao Xu said calmly: "Your Majesty, there have been constant locust plagues since the founding of the Song Dynasty a hundred years ago. Among them, Kaifeng Prefecture, Henan Prefecture..."

A series of prefecture names were reported, and finally Zhao Xu said: "Among them, Jingdong, Jingxi, Hebei, Henan, Hedong and other places have the most frequent disasters and the heaviest disasters. I think we can raise more ducks in these places. "

Zhao Shu nodded with satisfaction. When he saw that the officials were a little surprised by his son's understanding of the locust plague, he became even more happy and proud.

"Do you have any suggestions?" Zhao Shu just said it casually, but Zhao Xu really had it, "Your Majesty, do you dare to ask if the court knows how to raise ducks?"

Well!

This question was asked very abruptly. Zhao Shu smiled and said, "I probably don't know."

The people here are all important ministers. Everyone has studied hard since childhood and raised ducks... This matter has nothing to do with it!

Zhao Shu asked: "Is there anything else to pay attention to?"

"Yes." After Shen An purchased the ducks, Zhao Xu chatted with him for a long time, and then went to duck farmers for on-site inspections. He learned a lot, "Your Majesty, it is enough for ordinary people to raise a few ducks at home. If there are more ducks, that's all." , we can’t afford to keep them in captivity, there isn’t that much food…”

Zhao Shu covered his forehead and said, "Yes, if the local government forces the people to raise ducks, then the people are barely able to feed the ducks. How can they have enough to feed the ducks? I was wrong, I almost made a big mistake."

As he spoke, he glanced at Lu Hui and others.

There has been constant feedback on the implementation of the New Deal in local areas, with many positive and many negative.

The most negative causes are officials.

If he hadn't been reminded by Zhao Xu and he had continued writing, it would have really harmed the people.

He couldn't help but feel frightened secretly, reminding himself to think twice before making decisions in the future.

"Thanks to Dalang today."

Zeng Gongliang praised: "Your Majesty is very smart, I would like to congratulate your Majesty."

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

The officials of the new party felt a little scared, but the officials of the old party didn't know what to feel.

"The duck...that's all!"

Zhao Shu sighed: "These things must be induced with benefits, not forced."

Zhao Xu said: "Your Majesty, there is actually no need...I recently visited the duck farmers and thought about it again, and I have some insights."

"Oh, then you can tell me." Zhao Shu felt more relaxed.

"Raising ducks in captivity is not possible!" Zhao Xu first objected to this. If people raised ducks in captivity, they would not be able to provide daily feed. "And the best way is to follow the water source to raise ducks."

"What's the benefit of water source?" Han Jiang was more concerned about this.

"There are many benefits." Zhao Xu said: "People raise ducks near water sources. They can raise ducks in rivers, streams, lakes and ponds. They drive the ducks out every morning and drive them back in the afternoon. The ducks will look for them in the water sources. Food. They eat everything, even grass. They only need to feed them one meal at night. This is easier than raising chickens."

"Is this so?" Zhao Shu was moved.

But Bao Zheng reacted faster. He went out and said: "Your Majesty, if this is the case, the people will have an extra job to make money, which will benefit the country and the people!"

Zhao Shu nodded and said with a smile: "Is there any benefit?"

"Yes." Zhao Xu said: "Duck excrement is the best thing and can fertilize the fields."

Tsk!

This is indeed a benefit.

"The whole body of a duck is full of treasures." Zhao Xu was like a hunter, digging a hole step by step and luring the prey in. "Not to mention the duck meat, the organs of the duck are also full of delicacies."

Huh!

There were sounds of disgust in the hall.

Zeng Gongliang, a famous gourmet in the Song Dynasty, frowned and said: "Duck's organs... aren't they delicious?"

"It's delicious!" Zhao Xu said seriously: "If you don't believe it, go and try it."

"Where?" Shao said half of the people present wanted to try the delicacies Zhao Xu mentioned.

People in the Song Dynasty loved food, and from Su Shi we could see that the prototype of a great foodie empire was taking shape.

As long as there is delicious food, even if there are thousands of people, I will go!

"There are also duck feathers." Zhao Xu decided to give them a baptism. "Duck feathers can also be used as arrow feathers. Duck down is warm, even warmer than cotton clothes..."

Zhao Shu was moved, "If this is the case, the people will naturally be willing to feed him."

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but said: "Your Majesty, I feel that seeing is deceiving, how about we... Your Majesty, where are the organs of that duck?"

"Shen family!"

Zeng Gongliang smiled as expected: "It is indeed Shen An. Your Majesty, I think it's better to go and have a look."

Zhao Shu nodded and immediately led the ministers and assistants out of the palace.

Later, when we arrived at Yulin Alley, Zhuang Laoshi received the emperor and his ministers in a familiar manner. When he heard that he was going to make ducks, he smiled and said, "I happen to have a few ducks at home, so why don't I call Ermei and get two."

"good!"

When the monarch and his ministers sat down, tea was naturally served to them, and Zhuang Laoshi was by his side.

Aunt Chen appeared outside the door. When Zhuang Laoshi saw her, she confessed and went out, and said angrily: "What's the matter that we can't talk about later?"

Aunt Chen said angrily: "I can talk about it later, but it's not going to be easy for you."

"What do you mean?" Zhuang Laoshi was furious.

Aunt Chen sneered: "Those ducks were fed by the little lady and the big man. You go and try to kill them?"

I go!

Zhuang Laoshi was confused for a moment, "How do I know this? That..."

He waved to Chen Luo, and after waiting for someone to come over, he said, "Hurry up and buy some ducks."

Chen Luo said with a grimace: "Our family has almost bought all the ducks outside."

"A lot of money!" Zhuang Lao said honestly and boldly: "Use a lot of money to buy a few."

Later, Chen Luo got some ducks from nowhere, and then Zeng Ermei took action and prepared several dishes.

"Guan Jia, roasting duck takes a lot of effort, so I can't make it today. You see, this is braised duck meat, with some added ingredients, it couldn't be better for your health."

"Well, it tastes good." Zhao Shu tasted it and was very satisfied.

"This is fried duck offal, for rice."

"This is not bad." Zhao Shu said with satisfaction: "This duck is really full of treasures!"

"We still have this." Chen Luo brought in another dish.

"Please take a look, officials. These are the duck neck and head, perfect tools for drinking wine!"

"Try it!"

Zhao Shu made the duck neck, took a bite, and praised: "It tastes great, delicious, delicious."

Zeng Gongliang couldn't help but said: "How can you eat such delicacies without drinking wine?"

Fu Bi said: "I haven't gone to the Yamen at this moment!"

Drinking during working hours is inappropriate.

Zhao Shu smiled and said, "I'll drink some too."

So with a meal of duck delicacies, the monarch and his ministers began to drink.

Shen An was not at home, and Bao Zheng was the master. While eating and drinking with him, he looked outside. When he saw Chen Luo coming in with a plate, he couldn't help but said happily: "But the kidneys?"

"yes."

Chen Luo brought the plate in. When everyone saw it, it turned out to be duck kidneys, duck paws, and even a few duck tongues.

Tsk tsk!

The Shen family actually turned a whole duck into a dish. They were really as vicious as gluttons!

After some attempts, Zeng Gongliang said: "I am shameless..."

Zhuang Laoshi smiled and said, "Please tell me, Mr. Zeng."

Zeng Gongliang smiled and said: "I ate a duck meal and couldn't help myself. Um... maybe these practices will spread?"

This is for a recipe.

Zhuang Laoshi said with a smile: "The Shen family never takes care of themselves. There are some delicacies out there recently, which are passed down from the Shen family. Please wait a moment."

Later he came over with several pieces of paper, one for each person.

"This is the way to go."

"good!"

Zhao Shu couldn't stand it anymore that a group of prime ministers and ministers were so shameless for a few delicacies, so he stood up and said, "Let's go back."

After leaving Shen's house, Zhao Shu said: "Go and see those duck farmers."

Everyone drank a little wine, and their blood flowed smoothly, so they went to find the duck farmer together. UU Reading www.uukanshu.net

After the duck farmer tremblingly told him his secret, everyone looked at Zhao Xu differently.

"The king is virtuous."

Zeng Gongliang praised: "Others like me, I know what I know about government affairs, and I also talk about what I don't know. Since I entered the political affairs hall, I have been involved in a lot of political affairs, but I also have leisure time. In my free time, I will read books and gather with friends. .

I heard that the king studies hard and doesn’t have as much free time as his ministers, but the king uses his leisure time to find out the sentiments of the people..."

Several prime ministers nodded in approval.

With such a prince, the future of the Song Dynasty is guaranteed.

"I congratulate Your Majesty!"

Zhao Shu couldn't help laughing. After returning to the palace, he told Gao Taotao what happened today. Gao Taotao said happily: "Dalang is becoming more and more promising now. It's all thanks to the good teachings of the officials."

"But I didn't teach him much." Zhao Shu said modestly, but his expression was quite proud, "What I value most is that Dalang can think about the people. The New Deal..."

He mused, "My new policy has offended many people. What will happen to Da Lang in the future? I'm afraid it will be difficult. It's difficult for us, father and son, to become the enemies of those people! But today Da Lang's words have made me all worried." , do you know why?"

Gao Taotao was overjoyed when he saw his condition improved, "Why?"

"He knows how to consider the people when doing things, so the people will support him. When I cultivate some ministers for him who support the New Deal, then what do I have to worry about? Hahahaha!"

The prince is like this, even if he dies at this moment, the Song Dynasty can still continue to move forward.
