Eight temporary, Wu Zhonghou's new policy, starting from Shaofu, almost no one was spared from the subordinate offices.

The hook and shield order in charge of the Yuan Yuan has been slashed, and the 300 li Yuan Yuan that was originally in charge has been divided into three counties, to house the Lishan prisoners and their families, as well as some of the Northern Expeditionary Army officers and soldiers who will stay in Guanzhong in the future.

Wu Zhonghou seemed to have no interest in the huge dance music they had prepared, but asked the musicians to create music that could be understood by even those who could not read and write......

Next, it is the turn of the Taiguan Decree and the Tang Official Order, they have a familiar name in later generations:

"Imperial Dining Room!"

The head of the imperial dining room, Taiguan Ling Yizhong is the world's famous chef, he was originally a Zhao person, and was later brought into Guanzhong by Lü Buwei, it is said that Lü Buwei ordered the guest to make "Lü's Spring and Autumn", which is the original taste of Yizhong, and he has eaten and done all the delicacies in the world.

Later, Yizhong was responsible for managing the three meals of Qin Wangzheng.

This King of Qin grew up in Zhaodi, and he didn't like the too salty Qin cuisine, as well as the Chu cuisine, which was quite respected by the Empress Dowager Huayang, and liked the taste of Zhao Di even more, and was very satisfied with Yizhong's craftsmanship, so he let him make the Taiguan order.

The Taiguan ordered to take charge of the palace meals, brew wine, plant vegetables, eat rare birds and beasts, and offer fruits at the four seasons, and there were also things that the Tang official ordered the Lord to offer cakes, bait, fruits, and wine. In addition to a number of chefs, Yongren, Diren, Jiuzheng, Gongren and other specialized cooks, there are also 3,000 officials, slaves and maids, who are responsible for buying vegetables, stripping and washing, slaughtering and other things.

After more than 30 years, Yizhong concentrated on concocting dishes in the court, and did not care much about the outside affairs, the first emperor had a bad stomach in his later years, and only ate a porridge, which was mostly cooked by Yizhong himself, and he was also sad for a while when the first emperor died.

"The old man can no longer cook porridge for His Majesty......"

But he was a dedicated man, and soon wiped away his tears and continued to serve the new emperor.

Hu Hai was young and greedy, and he was clothed and fed since he was a child, not only demanding that he must take rare and exotic beasts, but also requiring every dish to be ninety-nine.

When Hu Hai died, a group of people with southern accents rushed into Xianyang and took charge of the court, but things were completely reversed.

Although Marquis Wu Zhonghou is known as simple, in the eyes of Yi Zhong, he is really a picky and suspicious person.

He doesn't like Gong Zhonghua's untruthful dishes, and he doesn't worry about letting the old department eat the dishes of the imperial chefs - these cooks have served the Qin royal family for generations, what if someone secretly drugs and puts the new Jiuqing down?

So this farmer from the south did a bastard thing.

He actually asked the military chef maid brought by his family from Nanjun to open a "canteen" in the official office, mixed with northern and southern dishes, for hundreds of officials to eat, whether it was the Marquis of Wu Zhonghou himself, or the officials of 2,000 stones, each meal only provided three dishes and one soup, less meat and more vegetables.

Yizhong and they were "invited" out of the kitchen, and they could hear the sound of the heavy iron kettle stir-frying all day long, and the greasy taste spread out, which is said to be Wu Zhonghou's favorite taste, but some people say that they learned it from the barbarian Yue people, which is really heartbreaking.

As a result, a large number of imperial chefs are suddenly unemployed!

The stingy Marquis Wu Zhong, naturally, will not raise idlers, and an order was immediately sent to the Taiguan Order:

"The Taiguan Decree and the Tang Official Decree were two offices, each with 100 cooks and 1,000 slaves and maids to Xihe, to assist the Eastern Governor of the Inner History to preside over relief matters and open a porridge shed cake shop......"

After listening to the order of Shaofu Zhang Cang, Yi Zhong was so angry that he trembled, and the Buddha suffered a great humiliation.

"This is to let the imperial chefs of Qin Shi Huang go to cook porridge for a group of Qianshou?"

In the eyes of Yizhong, this is simply an insult to them!

Zhang Cang was unmoved, and said: "Why is the king happy to eat? Eat the peace of the world, and the wealth of the accumulation. ”

"But if there is a famine in the world, and the emperor is full of hunger, the emperor should have a move to withdraw the food, so as to show that he is of the same heart with the world and considerate of the people's feelings."

Therefore, whenever the world encounters disasters and wars, the emperor will often lower his food to show his humility.

It's just that the first emperor rarely had such a time, and Hu Hai didn't even once.

Zhang Cang sighed: "If Ming Jun is in power, he will definitely do this, Marquis Wu Zhong, he is just doing what the Son of Heaven should do!" ”

Yi Zhong was still unwilling to succumb, and said stubbornly: "The little chef can just do it, how can you let the palace chef condescend?" ”

Zhang Cang disagreed: "The way of a small chef is to fill one person." Therefore, the seasoning of Di Ya is also, the sour is fertile (poured) with water, and the light is added to the result, and the phase of water and fire is easy, so the meal is not salty and light. However, it is only to please Huan Gong alone, so he is small. ”

"The way of a chef is to fill the world. Therefore, Yi Yin to cook the soup into the soup, for the slaughter, teach the people to reconcile the five flavors, create the Chinese cutting and cooking technique, open the river of food in later generations, govern the country such as cooking small fresh, later generations called sages, so it is a big also. ”

"Great official order, you think the emperor is proud of cooking porridge, but you are ashamed of the hungry people in the world cooking. I thought I was a world-famous chef, but in my opinion, I was just a little talker! ”

After that, Zhang Cang couldn't say anything, and compared his hand outward:

"If you don't want to do it, then please leave!"

Yi Zhong couldn't say that Zhang Cang was angry, so he took off his crown and ribbon on the spot, threw it on the ground, and left the palace in a rage.

Zhang Cang picked up the seal ribbon, flicked off the dust on it, and muttered: "I am a young man, and I have saved thousands of stones for the world......

After that, he raised his eyes and glanced at the rest of the people, and a smile appeared on his fat face:

"Who else?"

……

Tang Guan's order had no backbone of Yi Zhong, and he responded to the order of Marquis Wu Zhong with trepidation.

The two of them used to accompany Qin Shi Huang on patrols, responsible for meals along the way, and were ready to leave Xianyang at any time, but in a few days, they were ready, and under the escort of the army, two or three thousand people set off with the last batch of Chen Gu sent out from Xianyang Cangzhong, and soon arrived at Chongquan City.

Chongquan is now almost a refugee camp, and the Xihe people who have lost their homes live in the base of the Northern Expeditionary Army, and their fields have been burned and looted by the Six Nations, and they will have to rely on government relief to survive until the beginning of the next spring.

Tens of thousands of young and strong people formed a "Xihe Army" and trained day and night, looking forward to revenge against the Six Nations, but the old and weak women and children could only live in Chongquan and other counties, numbering tens of thousands......

The Taiguan decreed that only the best cooks were qualified to cook for the emperor and his concubines, while the rest of them did some hand-off work, even making rudimentary meals for the palace slaves.

Therefore, when making folk food, it is not impossible to start, and it will soon become proficient.

The cook looked at the refugee children who were constantly looking inside, shook his head, and added green sunflower to the yellow, orange, and orange corn, and a little more anointing oil, sprinkled a handful of salt, and after thinking about it, he sprinkled another handful, and when he added water, it was two liters less......

Half an hour later, the porridge in the kettle was cooked, and under the maintenance of the army, the Xihe refugees took the wooden bowl to receive the daily meal, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed to see that the porridge was thicker than before, and there was a little oil.

After gobbling up some of them, and seeing the eyes of the people who served the food today, after asking the officials, they were told that they were all cooks in the palace, and they were stunned on the spot, and they didn't even have time to swallow the porridge in their mouths!

"The emperor's imperial chef, come to cook porridge for us?"

As soon as it was spread, the entire Xihe refugee camp was boiling.

Although on weekdays, when the common people are working in the fields, they like to imagine what His Majesty the Emperor eats, whether they can eat japonica rice, a few chickens and a few eggs every day? The dishes of the imperial kitchen, are they dragon leather brains?

But one day, when I really eat the food cooked by the imperial kitchen, I feel like I'm dreaming.

"If you are as lowly as us, you are also qualified to eat porridge made by the imperial kitchen?"

For a while, the Xihe refugees felt that the porridge in this bowl was really more delicious.

Of course, there are also people who are difficult to serve, muttering: "I eat this porridge is no different from usual, and it turns out that the emperor's cooking skills are like this." ”

After licking the porridge made by the imperial chefs, the Xihe people inevitably asked:

"The imperial chef in the palace, was it sent by the new emperor?"

The officials of the Northern Expeditionary Army immediately corrected this group of ignorant people: "What is the matter with the emperor? There is no emperor in the country, and this is the benevolence of the regent Wu Zhonghou! ”

Obviously, the political gesture of appointing people from the Imperial Kitchen Palace to Xihe for disaster relief this time is far greater than the actual effect.

Saying that, a new batch of winter clothes also arrived, one for each household, and they were worn in turns when they went out.

The official told everyone while sending it: "This is the weaving room of the palace and the weaving of the palace, and the marquis of Wuzhong ordered the palace to remove all the silk brocade things, and specially weave wool and hemp clothes to make up for the lack of winter clothes of the Xihe people!" ”

Not only the kitchen and weaving room, but also the officials of the Taiyi Order were also mobilized to come to Xihe to diagnose and treat the wounded and sick, and to breed epidemic prevention diseases, because of the shortage of medicine, there are many injuries and diseases, how many people can really be saved, even Chen Wuyi has no idea in his heart, but this does not prevent the people of Xihe from being more grateful to Wuzhonghou.

Eating porridge cooked by the imperial kitchen, wearing the clothes woven by the goddesses in the palace, and the imperial doctors came to look and smell and prevent evil diseases.

Although the autumn breeze was bleak outside, the Xihe refugees only felt that they were warm from their bodies to their stomachs......

They have a greater sense of security and more certainty that this year of suffering will eventually come through!

The Qin royal family has always been cold to the people, like King Qin Zhao, the people set up shrines to kill animals, praying that he would be cured from illness, but the example of severe punishment is just normal operation.

For a hundred years, the people of Qindi have never met a ruler who loves the people like a son, and for a while, the people of Xihe were a little flattered......

"The regent is more sympathetic to us than the emperor."

A song of the Xihe people's sincere "wind" is also sung in the refugee camp.

In mid-August, it had reached Weinan and Bashang......

"The city of Raoyan, the bank of the West River; The fish of the dragon gate, the business face. ”

"A group of thieves entered the Kou, and the Marquis of Wu chased them; Hungry in the stomach, Wuhou eats it; No brown death, Wuhou Yizhi; I have a disease, and Wu Hou diagnoses it; You are your parents, and I am a child! ”

"Madam, listen, it's the people of Guanzhong who are praising the virtues of the monarch and the prince!"

Next to the pavilion of Baqiao, the kite listened to the half-sound, turned his head and happily reported to the Ye mother and son in the carriage.

"He, it's only been half a year, and there are so many 'bare', but how easy is it to be a parent? It is right to be good to your children, if you are not good, you will suffer from the resentment of the world, with this time, you have to continue to be good in the future, children, but it is easy to forget the ...... of kindness"

Since returning to Jiangling, Ye Zijin, who has been trying to make himself "invisible", shook his head, but finally smiled:

"But he's really good at cooking!"
