Caijiao brought a lot of gifts to the Zheng family, the pastries and snacks eaten, the silk satin she worn, and the exquisite utensils she used, which can be described as dazzling.

"Cai'er, you moved so many things back to your parents' house, aren't you afraid of gossip from others?" The Zheng family was worried that Caijiao would offend the concubines of the Li family headed by Zhu Niang.

Caijiao pursed her red lips, shook her head, and said with a smile: "As long as the master is willing to reward me, what about so much?" ”

Zheng sighed for a while, in this world, there is really the word fate, all of them are fate. Hua Jiao and Rui Jiao are also her daughters, and these two daughters are more than ten times more shrewd than Caijiao.

However, what Zheng never dreamed of was that Caijiao, who originally did not have any hope, instead won Li Zhongyi's eyes and was favored by Li Daxianggong.

On the contrary, Hua Jiao and Rui Jiao, who are good at planning for the family, are left out in the cold in the deep house, and as they grow older, once they are old and decrepit, they may not have a bright future.

Objectively speaking, Zheng has always been partial to Caijiao, just because she never knew how to fight for her own interests, what a stupid little lady.

"Mother, try this." Caijiao took out Li Zhongyi's newly invented ring cake from the snack box, broke one and stuffed it into Zheng's mouth.

Zheng Shi was shocked and chewed the ring cake in his mouth, and after carefully tasting it, it was a delicacy that he had never tasted before, "Cai'er, what is this?" ”

"Mother, this is the ring cake improved by the master, it seems to be called a steamed bun again, twisted into a ring with glutinous flour and noodles, put it into the oil pan and fried, crispy and delicious, delicious, it is my favorite snack." Caijiao's cherry mouth was stuffed with ring cakes, and she touted Li Zhongyi's knowledge, "Ye once mentioned it, it seems that there was this kind of ring cake in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period in the Central Plains, it was called cold equipment at that time, or cold food, alas, I can't remember it clearly." ”

Caijiao is a little fool, but Zheng knows it in his heart, Li Zhongyi is probably trying to make Caijiao happy, and he tossed out the snacks with his heart, right?

Although Zheng's speculation was not all right, it also partially revealed the truth, Li Zhongyi's purpose for making steamed dumplings was mainly for his own gluttony, and he also wanted his wives and concubines to enjoy the pleasure of eating.

At the moment when officials are teachers, as Li Zhongyi's conqueror, the new gadgets that the old Li family tosses casually are very likely to be imitated by the officials and people of the entire Goryeo Kingdom.

The entire Goryeo Kingdom spends its mind on eating, drinking, and having fun, hehe, the culture of the Celestial Empire will only be more admired and admired, and this so-called soft power is also!

After Li Zhongyi conquered the Goryeo Kingdom, the Li Jiajun systematically and methodically confiscated the fields, money, houses, and beautiful women of countless Goryeo dignitaries and nobles under various names.

According to Li Zhongyi's existing plan, the Central Plains region will definitely have to curb land annexation in the future. However, the concept that land is a source of wealth and a mute son who supports the elderly has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow of the Han people, and many generals and colonels of the Li Jiajun are no exception.

In everything, if you are prepared, you will be established, and if you are not prepared, you will be wasted!

Preparing for a rainy day has always been Li Zhongyi's forte, and he left a large area of fertile and fertile land in Goryeo in advance, just to give the land of Goryeo when he will reward meritorious heroes in the future.

This kind of practice is tantamount to using the flesh and blood of the Goryeo people to nourish the magnates of the Great Zhou, which has all the benefits and no disadvantages.

one inhibited the land annexation of the Great Zhou Dynasty and eased the class contradictions; Second, the attention of the magnates was shifted to the snatching of overseas colonies, which laid a solid foundation for the future era of colonial exploration.

Others may not know it well, but Li Zhongyi knows that the southern region of Vietnam not only has the well-known Champa rice, but also the fertile land suitable for agricultural cultivation is not only as abundant as a cow's hair, but also can be harvested three times a year.

During the period of peace, the population continued to increase, but the land annexation of the magnates also increased. There are many people and little land, and there is not enough to eat, which leads to the dead cycle of dynastic cyclical rate, which has always been the cancer of China's chaos in the agricultural era.

Li Zhongyi is a human being, not a god, and in the short term, he has no way to change the deep-rooted thinking that land is the root of life. Obviously, immigrating to the surrounding area and cultivating fertile land became the only option.

Jin Zinan was only outside by Caijiao, and he wanted to slap Caijiao a few times and scolded her for not even paying attention to her father.

It's a pity that he didn't dare to do this by borrowing 10,000 guts from Jin Zinan, so he had to knock out his teeth and swallow the blood in his stomach.

Not only that, Jin Zinan didn't take long to build his mind, so he salivated and wanted to break into the West Cross Courtyard where the Zheng family was located, and took the initiative to find Caijiao.

There is no way, not to mention whether he can make a comeback, just to save his life, Jin Zinan needs to seek Li Zhongyi's understanding through Caijiao.

However, before Jin Zinan could get close to the gate of the courtyard, he was stopped by two maidservants with swords, "Please respect yourself, no one is allowed to enter without being summoned by Mrs. Cai." One of the maidservants at the head didn't take Jin Zinan in his eyes at all, and coldly turned him away thousands of miles away.

Jin Zinan knew very well in his heart that the two saber maids in front of him were actually Li Zhongyi's people, but they were just sent to protect Caijiao.

As the saying goes, if you don't look at the face of the monk and look at the face of the Buddha, don't say that Jin Zinan can't afford to provoke the saber maid, even if it is the Chinese pastoral dog raised by Li Zhongyi's side, he still can't afford to provoke it, and he must be offered.

"Cai'er, you Aya and I are now, but others can be bullied miserably." Jin Zinan put on a crying and mourning appearance, deliberately pulling his throat and shouting outside the courtyard gate, obviously trying to pretend to be miserable in front of Caijiao in order to win sympathy.

"Cai'er, don't listen to his nonsense, he just accepted a beautiful concubine yesterday, and his small life is nourishing." Zheng told Caijiao angrily and asked her not to pay attention to Jin Zinan's nonsense.

Caijiao said with a smile as if she was nothing: "Mother, I have always been in and out of his left ear and out of his right ear, but I don't think I heard it, and it is impossible to tell my master." My lord once said that he likes me to be a carefree little pig woman. ”

"Hey, moisturizing, mother, you have also learned the mantra of the master?" Although Caijiao doesn't understand the world, it doesn't mean that she is not smart, but her "emotional intelligence" in some aspects is countless times lower than her two sisters.

Zheng inadvertently said that she leaked her mouth, but was broken by Caijiao, she restrained the panic in her heart, forced a smile, and hurriedly covered up: "The dignitaries and nobles in the entire Kaijing City are learning from your master's style, I have also heard what people say, and I remember it if I think it is fresh." You know, I don't have a very good memory. ”

"Oh, I see, I see. Hey, it's not right......" Caijiao's sudden exclamation, so frightened that Zheng almost couldn't hold the ring cake in his hand, and his eyelids jumped wildly, thinking that his biological daughter had seen the flaws in J's love.
