Since he wants the salt pans along the coast, then let's find another way, I'm afraid the emperor doesn't know yet, and salt can also be boiled in the brine of Sichuan and Yunnan. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

When I used to go to Sichuan to eat salt and help dishes, I learned that Sichuan well salt is the soul of Sichuan cuisine and has a history of 2,000 years.

Boiling salt in Yunnan, Sichuan, avoiding the logistics routes along the coast, is very competitive in the southwest. At the same time, it is convenient to get up and down from the political center, and at the same time, it is more convenient to send salt here to the northwest, and then you can monopolize the salt trade in the Western Regions.

There are still some things to be prepared in advance, such as wine and iron, which are about to start a franchise after the salt, and I am afraid that everyone does not know that the emperor obviously intends to eat this rice one bite at a time, rather than stuffing three steamed buns in one mouth. Then you have to quietly cut off a piece before the emperor bites the two steamed buns. Equally important is the right to cast. There is no banknote, the right to mint is also very important, you think, a five-baht coin can buy so many things, the same weight of copper, but can't, there is a price difference. This small price difference is wirelessly magnified to tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of copper coins, which is very objective.

Early the next morning, Xue Qing entered the palace early, and found that the Da Changqiu Office was outside the Changmen Palace. What if you don't tie it up and bite someone.

Except for Qiu Xiang, Xue Qing did not call her own people in the palace, and just took this opportunity to develop a few more. There is no need to expose the original.

Xue Qing felt a little weak when she thought of Mrs. Wang, and then thought of Chen Ajiao, she walked in the courtyard at that time, and she was not stopped at all, the huge Changmen Palace was almost unguarded, and she went to work opposite it, can you not be on guard.

Before entering the door, Xue Qing asked about the matter of the Changmen Palace clearly, according to Qiu Xiang, because of the last Changmen Palace singing incident, plus Mrs. Wang is crazy now. So now the Changmen Palace is still relatively strict, although nominally Mrs. Wang is worshiped at the same rank as the queen at four o'clock, it is only in the utensils used for food and clothing. There are only ten maids and mothers with her, and there are only ten guards, basically guarding her, not protecting her, of course, she is not in any danger in this Nagato Palace, after all, no one will get along with a crazy woman.

In this case, the old lady can rest assured, no, no, no, transfer ten more guards to watch closely, don't take advantage of the weakness to touch the old lady's office.

The office is a small courtyard alone, not a palace, but like an independent transept. There were a few palace maids and eunuchs waiting inside, and Zhan Shi was already waiting inside.

With a thick stack of ledgers and a list on the wall, Chen Zhang explained some precautions and left. This is considered a handover.

Xue Qing flipped through it for a while, only to feel that her scalp was numb. There are not many concubines of Emperor Wu, but there are only about ten, of course, occasionally messing around, but it is not a regular establishment. The son has six in his life, and I am afraid that there are two more who have not yet been born, and the princess has a few.

There are only so many people who live in Weiyang Palace seriously, and there are some old concubines in Changle Palace who are nursing over there. Guess how much it costs per year? Obediently, I have caught up with the salary of a hundred Huo Quai.

This is not counting Emperor Wu's expenses, the goods are not enough for him to spend when he thinks of using money.

Qiu Xiang said: "Your Highness, lunch is about to be delivered, do you want to go to the dining room to have a look." ”

Yes, it can be regarded as an inspection work, and this matter is also under my own control.

I really haven't been to the dining room before, but I don't know if the original Xueqing has been there, see more and say less, so as not to show the stuffing, this situation has been very rare in the past two years, and basically this identity is still quite adaptable.

The dining room occupies a relatively large area, almost as big as a palace, because of the smoke, it is arranged close to the palace wall, divided into two parts, the lower room is responsible for the food of the palace maids and eunuchs and guards, the amount is full, but the quality is average, and the management is not so fine, can it still be poisoned tens of thousands of people? That's a wonder of the world.

After all, there is no iron pot, and such a heavy copper kettle can only be used for boiling. Inside the steamer is corn, and as far as the eye can see, dozens of towering steamers are almost reaching the roof. The fog was steaming, and the whole room could not see the human figures.

There are side dishes and meat cooked in the dings outside, and they will be served out one by one when the time comes.

Walking inside, it was even more busy, and the upper room was only responsible for the meals of the royal family and palace officials and some high-ranking palace maids and eunuchs. But because of the high requirements and fine production, the degree of busyness is no less than that outside.

At the same time, because the food safety of the royal family is a big problem, there are dozens of guards stationed in the upper room, and all the ingredients and tools in and out of the upper room are checked. Every step of the food handling process is inspected. In the end, people will be used to taste it, first, to see if the taste is delicious, and second, to use human flesh poison detectors.

A large number of palace maids and eunuchs are here to help, and the process from serving the food to sending it over will be strictly monitored. Xue Qing felt that all kinds of systems were already very late. But I still explained to the resigned kitchen manager behind me that we must pay attention to food safety.

The food inside is not as coarse as the outside, and the sauce is attractive in color and aromatic. The barbecue with foreign spices is very fragrant. Xue Qing felt a little drooling. The knife work of the kitchen over there is exquisite, and the fish slices are as thin as cicada wings, and the Japanese are weak, although Xue Qing has been here for two years, she still doesn't like to eat fish tart, but she might as well look very delicious with this thing.

It was almost done over there, and a long table was full of dishes, and the manager introduced: "Your Highness, this is the emperor's nine-course lunch today." Please take a look at it. ”

Xue Qing nodded, this year is not like the Qing Dynasty, there are one hundred and eight dishes at every turn, why is the royal family's expenditure still so huge?

Xue Qing nodded, and the chief immediately waved his hand and ordered more than ten palace maids and eunuchs to put the dishes into the lacquer box and put them together, and Yuguan walked out. There were more than 20 guards at the door who followed, surrounding the team left and right and tightly protecting the Xuan Room.

The steward said, "These are the Queen's four dishes, and Madame Wang's nine-course dishes. Please take a look at it. ”

Wait, I heard you right, yes, yes, the queen often only eats two meals a day, in fact, it stands to reason that she should eat four meals a day, and she always uses some more ordinary meals when eating. I knew about these when I was mixing in Jiaofang Hall before, and as for Mrs. Wang, they were sent according to the queen's level. So it's a real nine dishes. (To be continued.) )
