Chapter Seventy-Five: Promotion

In the blink of an eye, Ying Zheng finished eating a big bowl, and he licked his lips, still with an unfinished look.

The interiors on the side were secretly speechless, they had never seen such a scene since His Majesty ascended the throne.

Looking at the dark brown grease residue in the bowl, the interiors swallowed their saliva, and could only wait for a moment to remove the dinner before they could taste the deliciousness.

After Ying Zheng wiped his mouth, Li Si walked in with a large number of concerts.

Seeing Ying Zheng's appearance, Li Si couldn't help laughing.

"Your Majesty, does this braised pork taste good?"

"It turns out that this thing is called braised pork!"

Ying Zheng was slightly stunned, and then praised:

"The taste is excellent, very much in line with my wishes, Aiqing has a heart!"

Li Si shook his head and said respectfully:

"Don't dare to take this meritorious minister, otherwise the next time you go to Surabaya, the lieutenant of Chu County will not give the minister a good face."

"Oh? Did that kid from Chu Yang make it again? Ying Zheng hiccuped with a faint smile on his face.

I didn't expect this kid to always be able to come up with some new tricks.

Last time, I made Wenchang paper and shochu, and this time I made this braised pork.

It's a pity that he is still young, otherwise it is estimated that some people believe that he is Guan Zhong's resurrection.

Lees nodded and handed over a copy of the recipe.

"This is the specific method of braised pork, in fact, the taste is secondary, mainly because this meat is not small......"

After taking the formula, Ying Zheng took a closer look, and estimated that more than a dozen kinds of seasonings were used alone, no wonder the taste was so delicious.

However, soon his gaze stopped at one place.

"What a guts! This kid dared to give the widow [pig] meat! Outrageous! ”

"Huh! Wrong! ”

Soon Ying Zheng reacted, looked at Li Si, and said in a deep voice:

"When the widow and the queen mother were hostages in Zhao Kingdom, they ate such pickled things, which were fishy and smelly, it couldn't be such a taste, what is the mystery of this?"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Li Si bowed deeply, and then smiled:

"This is what the minister wants to tell you, after a long period of experiments, the lieutenant of Chu County upgraded the breeding pigs, and castrated their life weapons, and bred them several times, but let these pork fade the fishy smell, at the same time, he also asked two breeding pigs and a number of meat pigs to be transported to Xianyang, to offer His Majesty, and ask Your Majesty to send it."

"This kid has a lot of heart."

With a faint smile on his face, Ying Zheng immediately thought of something, and asked meaningfully:

"Then what does Aiqing think about what to do with these pork?"

"Naturally, it is raised in the circle, and the lieutenant of Chu still offers the method of cooking, and Your Majesty will have a good mouth every day in the future." Li Si said with a bit of flattery.

"You, you're the prime minister of a country, what do you do all day long like a courtier! No matter how honest you are, be careful that the widow will punish you for half a year! ”

Ying Zheng shook his head and said angrily.

I think that when Li Si was still the secretary of Prime Minister Lu Buwei's mansion, how high-spirited he was, they got along with each other and were like-minded, and they came to this point through ups and downs together.

I don't know why, in recent years, Li Si has suddenly become cautious, and from time to time he likes to pretend to be stupid, Ying Zheng sees it in his eyes, but he hasn't said anything.

It just so happens that tonight, taking advantage of this pork matter, it is perfect to beat it a little.

At present, there are many government affairs in the Qin State, and he can't manage it alone, if only there were a few more capable ministers like Li Si.

That Chu Yang...... Let's take a look.

Seeing that His Majesty had spoken, Li Si only spoke openly and honestly at this time:

"Since Your Majesty can eat pork, then the people of the world will be able to have pork to eat in the future, pork is easier to stick to fat than other poultry, in the past, it was only because of the smell so it was disliked by the subjects, and now there is a way to remove the odor, which is naturally a matter of benefiting the country and the people."

"This is like what a prime minister said...... So Chu Yang has made meritorious service again? ”

Ying Zheng nodded, looking at the formula in his hand with a smile in his eyes.

It was also strange to say that since this young man from Chu Yang appeared, he found that he seemed to smile a little more than usual.

I was full of anger before, but now I'm calm.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that our Chu County Lieutenant has made more than this one."

As he spoke, Li Si took out the second letter from his arms and handed it over.

"Li Ping, the county supervisor of Surabaya County, jointly named Bai Yuan, the county guard, and asked for credit for Chuyang, saying that he had made meritorious contributions in pioneering mining and reconciling the victims, and asked the court to commend him!"

"Oh! And this thing! ”

Ying Zheng took over the recital, and his expression became solemn.

When he saw that Chu Yang used the method of establishing a mine to not only make the displaced people have a livelihood, but also to give the imperial court an extra income, he couldn't help but shout the word "good" in three lives!

"Can this law be popularized?" Ying Zheng said with concern.

If every place can be disposed of like Surabaya, then what is there to worry about.

"I'm afraid not."

Lees shook his head.

The core of this matter is that there must be a big project that benefits the country and the people, which can not only absorb the number of disaster victims, but also absorb their labor, and eventually form a virtuous circle.

In Surabaya, because there are coal mines, they can take advantage of the situation, but other places may not have such unique conditions.

"That's it......" Ying Zheng's tone was a little lost, but Chu Yang was able to do this, which was beyond his expectations.

"This time Chu Yang has made a great contribution again, how does Aiqing think the widow should be rewarded?"

Li Si pondered for a moment and said with a wry smile:

"A few months ago, he was only appointed as a county lieutenant, and if he is promoted to an official position now, I am afraid that it will be inappropriate, not to mention that the county guard Bai Yuan is an old member of the Bai clan, and there is no obvious fault, so Chu Yang can't be promoted to the county guard, right?"

Ying Zheng nodded in agreement.

Since the ancestor killed Bai Qi, the Qin State has always adopted a preferential policy for the Bai clan, and there is no need to intensify the conflict at this time.

"However, Chu Yang has made such great achievements in a row, if he is not rewarded, I am afraid that the people of the world will think that I am a good corporal of Great Qin, and it will also chill the hearts of heroes, so according to what the ministers see, it is better to directly promote the title of Chu Yang, and the minister also heard that he is friendly with the two women of the famous Lu Gong in Surabaya, why don't you do it to the end, and give them marriage?"

After Li Si finished speaking, Ying Zheng also laughed.

"I didn't expect this kid to be very blessed, and he actually fell in love with other people's two daughters at once?"

"That's it, my Great Qin has never treated meritorious heroes badly since Mu Gong, since he Chuyang has made solid contributions, the widow will naturally not be stingy."

"Pass the decree, promote Chu Yang to the public doctor, and at the same time let him bring his family and enter Beijing at the right time, and the widow will personally give the marriage!"

"Yes!" Li Si hurriedly received the order, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Now that he has absolutely befriended Chu Yang, Li Si will naturally strive for the greatest interests of his allies.

Now that there is an undercurrent surging in the court, he must begin to cultivate his own power.

After chatting about Chu Yang's affairs, Ying Zheng's mood became much more relaxed.

"Have you received a recital from the prince recently? He went out to practice this time, and he should come back, right? ”

"The last time I received a piece of music was half a month ago, the prince has already arrived at the Shuzhong camp, and it is estimated that he will be able to come back in half a month at most."

Ying Zheng nodded, and suddenly looked at Li Si.

"Is that fugitive named Yi Xiaochuan really Meng Aiqing's younger brother?"
