Chapter 252 Chongyang Feast Eat Ruyi Beans

After the little eunuch left, the expression on Chang Sanye's face instantly froze, and the whole person was depressed.

After a while, Chang Sanye shook his head helplessly, and began to beckon people to come in and order errands.

After listening to Chang Sanye's orders, the faces of his subordinates also became ugly, but they didn't dare to refute it.

Although someone asked the reason, Chang Sanye didn't dare to say anything to them.

He only has one sentence, "Do it or die." ”

So, again, they spread the news.

Chang Sanye is a very famous figure in the news circle in the capital. Whether it is a regular official, a big or small official, or a businessman, many people are willing to make friends with Chang Sanye because he can provide some information that others don't know. These messages look at the eye, sometimes they are sent, and sometimes they are sold.

This is important for a lot of officials, and it is also important for a lot of businessmen. For example, when they want to know a person's identity and family background, they will ask Chang Sanye to buy news.

Under such circumstances, Chang Sanye's business is naturally very good, and at the same time, there are many officials who deal with him, get news from him, or sell him news.

For Chang Sanye, it is not too difficult to spread the news. However, only Chang Sanye himself knew that he didn't get a lot of news, and he didn't want to do much about this business. But sometimes people are in the rivers and lakes, and they can't help themselves.

The news about King Fu did not cause much controversy among the people, after all, everyone did not pay attention to this, and the common people did not like these things very much.

However, this matter has caused great repercussions in Shilin and officialdom.

All of a sudden, there were those who were fortunate, and they felt that they had found a way. After having the secret music system of the imperial court, many people were panicking, but they seemed to have found a way out, and they could use the secret music system to impeach the emperor's relatives in the future. It doesn't seem like you're not doing things at all.

Some people are afraid, thinking that if the tantric system is really pushed away, it will be difficult for everyone to do it in the future.

Of course, some people are preparing to fish in troubled waters, and some people are ready to take this opportunity to do something.

Anyway, everyone thinks differently, everyone has a different position, so they do things differently.

Zhu Youxiao didn't pay much attention to this, because everything was not too important. When everything is on track, everything is not a problem now.

Sitting next to the gazebo, Zhu Youxiao looked at the question book sent to him, and threw it on the table with some disappointment.

These questions did not surprise Zhu Youxiao, and even the rhetoric was exactly the same as he thought. These people really didn't disappoint themselves, they didn't have any creativity at all, and the general content was attacking King Fu, hoping that the court could severely punish King Fu, but from time to time they would hang up the secret music system.

They are associating the matter of the blessed king with the tantric system. To put it bluntly, it is to tie two things to one thing, and want to turn two things into one thing.

If the imperial court does not punish the Fu King severely, then the secret music system is a joke.

These people are persecuting the emperor!

After glancing at Chen Hong beside him, Zhu Youxiao asked expressionlessly, "Are your people already moving?" ”

"Back to the emperor, it's already moving." Chen Hong hurriedly said.

Zhu Youxiao frowned, thought for a while and said, "No, the movement is too small, and doing things is now procrastinating." Let them use a little force, and let everyone know that they are going to make a fuss. ”

"Yes, my lord, the slave understands." Seeing that the emperor was not very satisfied, Chen Hong chuckled in his heart, and hurriedly agreed.

He secretly scolded those people in his heart, they can't do this thing, it seems that these people are slacking, and they must clean them up after they go back.

After this matter was explained, Zhu Youxiao did not pay attention to it anymore.

The reason is very simple, I have other things to do, this thing is a big banquet in the palace, and I want to invite hundreds of civil and military officials. In the harem, Empress Zhang also invited the wives of those officials to dinner to celebrate the Double Ninth Festival and her birthday.

In fact, the courtiers are still very confused, after all, there will be rewards during the Double Ninth Festival, but there is no need to engage in such a large-scale feast; And the Queen's Day is far from being so grand.

A lot of people are asking what's going on, after all, it's unusual.

Then I don't know where the gossip came that His Majesty wanted to give everyone something fresh.

This kind of fresh thing is grown in Huangzhuang, it is said that the yield per mu can reach 2,000 catties, the yield is not only very high, but also the taste is very good, whether it is stir-fried or cooked, it is a very good product.

The key is that this thing is of high quality and tasteful, and it is said to have the effect of nourishing yin and nourishing the skin, and it is to nourish the kidneys and aphrodisiac for men, and it is particularly good for both men and women after eating it.

It is said that the news came out of the Tai Hospital, and it was originally just a small circulation, but I don't know how it spread more and more, and finally it spread to all the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty.

Quite a few people have started to find out the news, and their targets are mainly focused on a few people who can reveal the news.

For example, Xu Guangqi, a scholar of the Cabinet University, is said to have led this thing, and the household department is responsible for trial planting, and the location is in Huangzhuang, so Xu Guangqi must be an insider, so everyone began to ask him.

In addition to Xu Guangqi, Zhang Guoji was often questioned, and the people who asked included businessmen and officials. Because everyone thinks that he is the queen's father, he must also be an insider.

The number of people looking for them was innumerable, and everyone was waiting for the exact news. But it didn't disappoint everyone, just when everyone was waiting anxiously, the exact news came out.

There is indeed such a thing, His Majesty gave the name Ruyi Bean, which can indeed reach a yield of 2,000 catties per mu, and there are many benefits of eating, and at the same time, this banquet is indeed what His Majesty wants everyone to eat these things.

Of course, there are more specific news, such as it is soft and glutinous, suitable for older people; It is rich in nutritional value, nourishing yin and kidney, aphrodisiac and invigorating qi; It's a rare authentic thing, an absolute good, and can be used to make all sorts of things.

In such a situation, everyone was excited. Regardless of whether the wishful beans really have such an effect, but this yield is very good.

As for the suspicions, it must be that no one doubts, because the news came from Han Yi, a member of the Cabinet First Auxiliary University. It was said that Han Yi, a scholar of the first assistant university of the cabinet, personally asked Xu Guangqi, the second assistant of the cabinet, and thus got an accurate message.

All of a sudden, the capital was shaken.

Those who are qualified and qualified to enter the palace have been running to the palace day and night these days, while inquiring about the news, they want to get a little benefit first, and it is best to let His Majesty reward themselves with a few thousand catties. As a result, these people were all disappointed.

The disappearance is confirmed, it is real. Because Zhang Guoji sent a message from there, it was indeed true. Empress Zhang did give her father a little potato, but it was only ten catties, which was not enough to give it at all, but it was enough for the people of Zhang's mansion to eat.

According to the news from the people of Zhangfu, this wishful bean is delicious and tastes very fragrant.

For a while, everyone in the capital was talking about this thing called Ruyi Bean, but no more news came.

Under such circumstances, the palace feast has become a highly anticipated existence.

After several days of vigorous action, the Double Ninth Festival, the palace banquet was finally held in Fengtian Hall as scheduled.

Hundreds of civil and military officials entered the court in turn, performed music according to etiquette, and were promoted to seats.

After everyone was seated, Zhu Youxiao walked out slowly from behind with the "Song of the Flame Spirit" by the Teaching Workshop Division.

When many officials saw Zhu Youxiao, they had a sense of isolation.

It's been a long time since I've seen Your Majesty, but it seems that Your Majesty is a little stronger, and seems to have grown a lot taller.

Zhu Youxiao sat on the dragon chair, waiting for himself to be worshiped by everyone.

After the worship was completed, he gently raised his hand and said, "Everyone, please be exempt." ”

After everyone stood up, Zhu Youxiao continued: "Everyone, take a seat. ”

After everyone sat down, Zhu Youxiao said with a smile: "The treasure that fell from the sky, I gave the name Ruyi Bean, which coincides with the Double Ninth Festival and the queen's birthday. ”

Zhu Youxiao forcibly endured not to let himself have any strange behavior. The reason is also very simple, such a word to describe potatoes really makes me feel weird.

It is estimated that in a few years, potatoes will be everywhere, and when I think of today's scene, it will make people laugh somewhat.

However, in order to promote potatoes as soon as possible and increase its value, there is no other way to do it.

Besides, after this large batch of potatoes is sold, he can still make a sum of money. In the face of such benefits, nothing else matters.

His eyes swept over everyone, and Zhu Youxiao said, "The feast begins." ”

With Zhu Youxiao's words, the outside also began to act.

Of course, I won't eat whole potatoes today, and what should be served in a normal dish. The so-called scarcity is expensive, let them eat a little less potatoes today, try the fresh, and then go back and think about it, and if they think about it, they will buy it. They buy them back to make seeds, or they just eat them.

These are all money, Zhu Youxiao thought in his heart.

On the table, press two plates of wine, two plates of cake, one plate of small snacks, four colors of dishes, a bowl of soup, and three cups of wine.

In the middle table, there are two plates of wine, one plate of small snacks, two plates of cake, four colors of vegetables, two bowls of soup, and six cups of wine.

There are small red beans, persimmons, oranges, crabs, and bream.

When all the dishes were almost served, Zhu Youxiao also lifted the cup a few times, and the long-awaited potatoes finally came up.

The first dish is roasted lamb with ruyi beans.

This is a dish carefully prepared by the imperial chef, served in a transparent and snow-white porcelain bowl.

The chamberlains carefully picked up the porcelain bowls and placed a bowl of roast mutton with potatoes in front of the table in front of each minister.

The bowl was not very large, there were only four or five pieces of mutton, four or five pieces of potatoes, a little soup, and nothing more.

After all the bowls were arranged, Zhu Youxiao said: "Ruyi beans roast mutton." Ladies and gentlemen, try it. ”

Saying that, Zhu Youxiao picked up the chopsticks, took a piece of potato, and put it in his mouth.

The ministers didn't dare to slack off, and at the same time, they had been looking forward to it for a long time, so they also picked up chopsticks and put a piece of potato in their mouths.

The name of this dish is rustic, but it is unexpectedly delicious.

The juice of the mutton is full of Ruyi bean pieces, soft and glutinous and sweet, how can it be so delicious?

Some elderly ministers, with a little soup still left at the corners of their mouths, looked at the bowl's eyes lit up.

It's a good thing, and you can eat even if you don't have teeth.

Good stuff, good stuff!

At the same time, the speed of eating was accelerated, and the stewed mutton became their enjoyment.

Soon a small bowl was eaten, and everyone was a little unsatisfied, and they wanted to hire someone to ask for another bowl.

But this is His Majesty's feast, and it's not a place for you to order food.

Looking at these people's unfinished looks, Zhu Youxiao nodded with satisfaction.

Soon the second course came up, such as pasta.

The flour stuffed with potatoes and dipped in various seasonings can be said to be very refreshing, and it tastes fragrant and soft. The soup is also boiled in beef broth, and if it is hot, the dish is beef powder.

The courtiers quickly finished the bowl of noodles again, and the expressions on their faces became more satisfied.

Zhu Youxiao lifted the wine glass in his hand and said with a smile: "Today's last dish, ruyi bean paste." Ladies and gentlemen, take a good taste, and now you will win. ”

As he spoke, Zhu Youxiao dried up the wine in the cup.

Naturally, the courtiers did not dare to slack off, and hurriedly drank the wine.

The last course also came up.

Everyone looked at the little yellow mud in front of them, and without the slightest hesitation, they picked up the spoon and took a bite and sent it to their mouths.

Instantly, the soft and glutinous fragrance fills the mouth again.

Han Yi, who was sitting next to Xu Guangqi, couldn't help but say to him at this time: "Is there still this thing?" ”

Xu Guangqi shook his head directly and said: "This is the property of the Imperial Village, and it is all in His Majesty's inner treasury, how can the household department have it?" However, if the elder wants to eat, presumably His Majesty will also give some of them. ”

After hearing this, Han Yi looked regretful. As for Xu Guangqi's later words, he didn't hear them.

The reason is also very simple, he is a dignified cabinet chief assistant scholar, and he went to the emperor to ask for food, which is really shameless.

In fact, not only them, but several people around them were also listening to the conversation between the two of them.

After hearing Xu Guangqi's answer, they were all a little lost.

After hesitating for a moment, Xu Guangqi said: "The output of the Huangzhuang is quite large, and I don't think it will all stay in the palace." ”

As soon as these words came out, the ministers were stunned, glanced at each other, and saw the excitement in each other's eyes, "That is, it will be rewarded to us?" ”

"I guess it will be a seed for the people." Xu Guangqi stroked his beard, thought for a while and said, "After all, Ruyi beans are also very productive in addition to other effects. After it is promoted, it can make the people eat their stomachs. And it's a short production cycle and it's not picky, which is crucial. ”

Hearing this, the small flame of hope in everyone's eyes was extinguished in an instant.

Xu Guangqi said this, everyone thought of it. But now everyone is not concerned about this, who can't see the benefits of Ruyi beans?

The key question is how to get a little bit to eat now?

However, they could only go home and think about this problem, because Zhu Youxiao had already announced that the banquet was over.

Usually such a feast, the emperor will have a reward, and this time is naturally no exception.

Of course, the rewards are no longer the same as before, but are directly replaced with potatoes, and rewards are given according to the size of the official position.

The people who were very disappointed just now immediately became happy again after learning about the reward for wishful beans.

A cabinet scholar like Han Yi can get 100 pounds; Others descend in order.

Many of the courtiers were a little excited after getting the potatoes, and were ready to go home to try them, because each of the ministers also received a recipe attached to it.

They were going to take the recipe and give it to their cooks to try it out and see how it worked.

The matter of eating potatoes in the palace and the ministers naturally couldn't be hidden, and it soon spread to the people in the capital.

For this Ruyi bean given by His Majesty, everyone in Jingshi was looking forward to it for a while, and it can be said that they were looking forward to it, but they didn't know who could get it.

Of course, there are also people with magical powers, such as Chang Sanye's Ruyi Building in Beijing, and he directly launched a variety of Ruyi bean dishes, which are sold in limited quantities every day, and they need to be booked in advance.

In an instant, Ruyi Building became popular. Among them, the three dishes given by the palace are in short supply.

All of a sudden, the entire Jingshi was talking about Ruyi Beans.

More important things are coming, some people care about eating, and some people care about planting, especially those nobles and relatives.

These days, the price of Ruyi beans is getting higher and higher, especially Chang Sanye's restaurant.

The dishes of those wishful beans that are limited every day are even fried to a plate of one or two silver, which can be said to be too high.

Among them, the most famous roasted mutton with ruyi beans even costs five taels of silver to eat a plate.

What is it?

This is a business opportunity!

As long as your family's field produces Ruyi beans, it is an opportunity to make a fortune.

So these people bombarded the palace indiscriminately, trying to get the emperor to give them some potato seeds.

Naturally, the civil servants will not let go of such an opportunity, but their rhetoric is much more stylish than that of the nobles and relatives.

The gist is that this kind of thing is so productive, then it should benefit the people of the world, so that the people of the world can share His Majesty's benevolence.

To sum it up, your majesty, you can't hide it, you can take out the seeds again, and it's better to distribute them to the people for free. As for who the people are, it depends on who they distribute.

Zhu Youxiao looked at such a question book and threw it away.

Sure enough, at this time, these civil officials have no lower limit, they are just like vampires.

If these potatoes were given to them, they would probably take them all home.

You can't do that yourself, you have to sell it to them at a high price.

So Zhu Youxiao thought about it, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a playful smile and said: "Tell Wei Zhongxian to let his people go to the question book, just say that these wishful beans are all produced by Huangzhuang, and they are all Your Majesty's private property, how can you let Your Majesty send them out for free?" ”

"It can be sold by the Ministry of Internal Affairs, and the silver obtained can be used to enrich the inner treasury, and secondly, it can also benefit the people."

Zhu Youxiao knows very well that no matter what method he uses to send it out, the first batch of profits will definitely be these big households. Even if they give it to those ordinary people for free, the big families have a way to get it out of their hands.

Thinking that it would end up like this, it was better to sell it directly at a high price.

In fact, it is useless to let Cui Chengxiu and them go to such a question book, when those people spend the emperor's money, there is no distinction between you and me.

The emperor's money is the money of the people of the world, and the heavenly family has no selfish affairs; When the emperor wants to spend the money of the treasury, it will not work, the money of the treasury is not the emperor's money, it is the money of the imperial court, and it is the money of the people of the world.

This is not the first time that these civil officials have done this kind of stinky and shameless thing.

For example, Emperor Jiajing always stretched out his hand to the treasury, and his reputation was very bad.

Emperor Wanli sent eunuchs to collect taxes and wanted to enrich his inner treasury, but the eunuchs were all killed.

For these inscriptions are stated in the book. Anyway, Zhu Youxiao was not ready to agree, so he pretended not to see it.

I'll sell it at the Ministry of Internal Affairs, so you can buy it. Don't talk to me about the rest of the nonsense, I can't hear it.

Zhu Youxiao is ready to be an emperor who pretends to be deaf and dumb.
