Chapter 847: Food Stamps
Yutang Department, as the sun rises, set up a cauldron of boiling water to brew new tea, and fill the hunger with its own dry food.
Liao Li is no exception, but his diet is more exquisite, which makes Zhuge Liang look sideways.
This is also the fundamental reason why Liao Li has been grounded in the Tingwei Mansion for half a year, and he is still alive and energetic.
Liao Li's lunch is an instant noodle set, which consists of eggs and noodles that are boiled and fried and deep-fried, a salty soup base that is fried in butter and then coagulated with salt, and steamed and dried vegetable buns, including pickles stored and carried in small jars.
Even the small jar is a yin and yang jar with a partition in the middle, a special small jar that can hold two kinds of sauces at a time.
These things are placed in a large white porcelain bowl in turn, poured with boiling water, and immediately solidify and dissolve, and the fragrance overflows.
And Liao Li covered the bowl very skillfully, closed his eyes and waited quietly.
Instant noodles need to wait, one reason is that the dough needs to be soaked, and the other reason is to feel the instinctive call of body and mind at this moment...... When this call rises to its peak, then eat noodles and drink soup, and you can suddenly achieve both physical and mental satisfaction.
It's hard to explain the beauty to outsiders.
Zhuge Liang also squinted at it, this kind of instant noodles is not suitable for military rations, and can only be used as an instant meal for emergencies and battle formations.
Therefore, the imperial court did not have a plan to imitate it, after all, the manufacturing process of this thing was complicated, and the fried dough cake was not easy to preserve.
Typical flashy and unrealistic, it is suitable for middle and high-level military officials.
In addition to being resistant to storage and release, the military rations commonly needed by military officers and soldiers should be made simple and convenient for family production or processing by individuals and Shiwu before the war.
Compared with instant noodles, Zhuge Liang is more concerned about another new type of military food called 'hanging noodles' in Beifu, he has only seen the finished product, and he does not know the specific manufacturing technology.
The noodles flashed in his mind, and he squinted at Liao Li grabbing the chopsticks and opening his mouth wide to eat a mouthful of the soaked, soft, and oily dough, and then slippery, with his eyes closed and a look of satisfaction.
Subconsciously, Zhuge Liang's throat squirmed slightly, and he heard Liao Li swallow the dough again, and opened his mouth to let out a satisfied sigh.
Gathering his mind, he concentrated on his lunch.
As the prime minister of the dynasty, he naturally didn't need to bring dry food, he and Huang Quan ate the dishes that the chef stir-fried.
Adhering to the principle of four dishes and one soup with meat and vegetarian dishes, he took a small bowl and ate slowly.
Even Huang Quan pays attention to eating appearance, unlike Liao Li, who lets go of himself and makes troublesome sounds.
Liao Li even picked up the bowl and drank the soup for a while, only then did he stroke his belly with satisfaction, and with the other hand holding a cloth towel to carefully wipe the noodle soup oil and water stained on his beard.
During the meal, a royal historian under Liao Li's hand walked over with two volumes of "Living Notes" in both hands, glanced at Zhuge Liang who was enjoying the tea after the meal in the middle of the meal, and whispered: "Duke Liao, please see." ”
Liao Li went to look and saw that Yushi pointed to a conversation and saw a paragraph written.
'Looking at the hidden in the harem, I saw the food stamps and ten thousand stones, and sighed how rich he was. ’
Then he summoned Zhong Qiao and consulted about the food stamps, and Qiao came out,
Unfinished. ’
The imperial history pointed to these passages, turned seven or eight more pages, and pointed to the new paragraphs:
'Serving Qiao is good at calligraphy and painting, recommending the painter Cao Buxing,
I love his calligraphy and paintings, so that I go into Jingshan to search for paint'
Yushi picked up the second volume, turned to the last few pages, and pointed to a paragraph:
'At the end of last year, Chen Gong drank and slashed the thirteen plums in the court of Guanding, and laughed and left, and people were puzzled;
Guan Dingguo comforted the news and laughed. ’
'Guan Dingguo cultivated his temperament with calligraphy and painting, and painted two volumes of Meitu in the court;
I was very happy to review it, and stayed overnight in Dingguo to reminisce about the old days, for three consecutive days. ’
This is what happened when the eldest son of the emperor was born and Guan Ping and his wife came to Jiangdu to congratulate him.
Liao Li re-looked at the numbers and dates of the two volumes of the "Living Notes", which had an average of three volumes in a month, and if a large number of edicts were issued in that month, the content of the month would skyrocket because of the inclusion of the contents of the edicts.
The most is the month when the emperor's eldest son was born, and the ministers thought that the world would be stable for a long time, and they all went to the table to celebrate, and the emperor also wrote back one by one to express his gratitude, that is, to express his recognition and respect for the merits of the old ministers and ministers, and to have various greetings.
This kind of official reply from the emperor should be included on the side.
Moreover, when writing the living notes, every time you encounter words that specifically refer to or refer to the emperor, such as the emperor, the emperor, the edict, the order, and the dedication, you must start a new paragraph to show the supreme position.
Liao Li held the two volumes of "Living Note" in his hand and frowned: "This is a trivial matter, look for it again." ”
Yu Shi bowed away, and Liao Li handed the two volumes of "Living Notes" to Zhuge Liang: "Cheng should know that the first emperor intended to pass grain stamps in Yizhou, and then the Great Sinong Wang even had such a proposal, but it was not accepted. Your Majesty seems to be quite interested in food stamps and money stamps. ”
Zhuge Liang grabbed the two volumes of "Living Note" with both hands, and did not look at them, and replied frankly: "This matter was repeatedly negotiated between Yun Changgong and Ge, but they were all dismissed because of the importance of the stakes, and they did not dare to promote it rashly. It's not Your Majesty's intention, it's me and Yun Changgong's plan. Listening to Yun Changgong's tone, he has also consulted Chen Gong, who is not arbitrary and independent of the imperial court. ”
Liao Li was a little silent and said: "I don't mean the measures taken by the Duke of Song and the prime minister, but what I want to say is that there were thieves who engraved the seal of Xiahou, the seal of the general of Zhengbei, and the seal of the princess of Nanxiang, forged the grain stamps of Beifu, and used various means to make it old. The mountain people are ignorant and very reverent in the Three Light Path and the Plague God Dao, and they have been deceived many times. ”
There are two sets of new and old styles of grain stamps circulating in Beifu, both editions are stamped with Xiahou's private seal, the old version is Tian Xin's Xiahou private seal, and the new version is Xiao Tianping's Xiahou private seal.
Tian Xin's private seal border has a staggered fine diamond pattern, which is almost unique and easy to recognize.
Seeing Zhuge Liang pondering, Liao Li turned his head to look at Huang Quan: "Huang Gong, Shangshutai should have an impression." Although the scope of this case is small, and the compensation for fake tickets before and after Nanyang is less than 100 stones, it involves forging the seals of princes, Sanke, princesses, and important ministers, which is a big case. ”
Huang Quan naturally had the impression that Tian Xin was too harsh, and directly stamped the three most important seals around him at that time on the food stamps.
Food stamps are money, and even simple mountain people know that as long as food stamps can be exchanged for a fixed denomination of grain, then food stamps are money.
Everyone wanted to make their own money, but the three seals of different sizes on the food stamps were there.
The first step in forging food stamps is to forge stamps...... In this first step, he committed the sin of treason, and the sin is unforgivable.
The fundamental reason for the tight finances of the first emperor and the delay in the implementation of grain stamps and money stamps is also here.
Tian Xin used his own credibility to guarantee the food stamps; What does the imperial court take to vouch for it?
Tian Xin's own credibility collapsed, and it did not affect the situation of the war; But what if the credibility of the imperial court collapses?
Who would dare to guarantee the credibility of the imperial court?
It was a dead knot, and in that critical period of struggle in all aspects, the court did not dare to gamble.
At that time, if the food stamps were introduced, then the enemy country would definitely imitate them!
and on the deterrence of the powerful, the family, and the officials...... The deterrent power of the imperial court is not as good as Tian Xin's personal.
The reason is simple, Haoqiang, family, and officials are part of the imperial court, but not part of Tian Xin.
The implementation of food stamps and money stamps has always been the mainstream call of the government and the opposition, and it has never been implemented until now, because of various constraints and hidden dangers.
You can't promote it yourself...... Is it good to forge food stamps in Beifu?
Liao Li's attitude is obvious, that is, he suspects that Zhuge Qiao, Guan Ping, and Cao Buxing are forging money tickets in Beifu at the behest of the emperor.
On the bright side, these young men were making technical preparations for the issuance of money and food stamps by the imperial court in the future.
Can...... This kind of thing, if Oda Ping comes to do it, it will naturally be no problem, so why can these people get out of the way?
