After a ceremony, Qin Qiong began to talk to Sun Xiangfu about business, it turned out that Li Shimin's enthronement ceremony will be held the day after tomorrow, the whole ceremony will last for one day, at noon the palace will give a royal banquet, and the level of this imperial banquet will be the highest in the history of the Tang Dynasty, first of all, the number of people participating in the imperial banquet is a terrifying number, more than 10,000 people, and all of them are high-grade officials, among which the state assassin history, the governor and other feudal officials are the majority, as well as all the members of the imperial family, as well as all the officials above the seventh grade in Beijing, so, The dishes must not be shabby.

Some ministers suggested that there must be a few stir-fried dishes that have been popular in Chang'an recently, and Li Shimin also knew that they were delicious, so he wanted to share them with those foreign ministers who were far away from the center, so he agreed.

But the weather has turned cold in the past two days, and the people from the Fisheries Department of the Animal Husbandry Supervision Department can't catch a few catties of fish a day, and the people in charge of purchasing in the inner palace have searched the fish market in Chang'an, but they haven't bought much, so Li Shimin was anxious and complained a lot in front of Qin Qiong.

At that time, Qin Qiong thought of Sun Xiangfu, who sent fish to the house every day, and suggested that this matter might be solvable, so he just returned to the house and wanted to send someone to Xingfu Village to find Sun Xiangfu for questioning, but he had to report that this kid was in his own house.

"Fish, there is, and the color is very good, if Grandpa wants it, just send someone back to the village with me to get it immediately."

"That's very good, I asked my subordinate guards to send a clipper boat back to the village with you to get fish, if you can get ten thousand catties before tomorrow, the king of Qin will remember you a great achievement."

"It's just 10,000 catties, a trivial matter, and I don't dare to take credit."

Not much to say, the two fifty-stone speedboats of the Yiguo Mansion quickly took Sun Xiangfu and the others out of the city and went back, while the villagers of Xingfu Village were mobilized and started from the pond overnight.

"Village chief, each pond can produce more than two taels of yellow eels and more than 300 catties, we have so many ponds, we can't raise tens of thousands of catties!" Sun Dali watched a bucket of poked fish being poured into the vat, and said in a daze.

"Well, we have at least forty or fifty thousand catties of fish here, and now they are transferred to the cellar for feeding, and they can be fed for two or three months, and the villagers' cellars are all cleared out, and the fired clay jars are transported in, and then the feeding is transferred to the ground."

There is geothermal heat underground, the temperature can reach more than ten or twenty degrees, and it is like a dark night, which can greatly stimulate the appetite of the yellow eel loach, so Sun Xiangfu has a plan in the morning.

"Okay, when these fish goods are sent to Chang'an, we will start to raise all the ponds."

After a busy night's work, early the next morning, two clippers carrying dozens of large tanks set off from Xingfu Village to Chang'an, and when the sun first rose, Jinshuimen Wharf was lively.

"Wow, there are a lot of yellow eels, this big vat is a big vat and a big vat, I'm afraid there are thousands of catties."

"It's over 10,000 catties! Where did this come from? ”

In the morning, at the Jinshui Wharf, there were basically some fresh food vendors coming in and out, and when they saw the large vat loaded with fish goods carried down by several people on the boat of the Yiguo Mansion, everyone came over to see the excitement.

At this time, in the private room on the third floor of Xinxiang Building in Dongshi, Wang Lin, who had finished breakfast, received a mysterious note.

"There are a large number of fish goods landed at Jinshui Wharf, which can solve the shortage of new food materials in Xinxianglou."

"Who sent it?" Wang Lin frowned and asked.

"A small guy on the street, delivered to us and left."

"Send someone to ride a fast horse to Jinshui Wharf to have a look, but someone can send a large number of fish into the city." Wang Lin ordered.

"No."

In less than two quarters of an hour, the man who had received the task rode back on a fast horse, and after entering the door, he reported, "Qiyu Gongzi, there are indeed ones, and the number is probably not less than 10,000 catties, but those people are under the banner of the Yiguo Mansion, and their subordinates dare not act rashly." ”

"Then go and inquire about the origin of these fish in the Wing Kingdom Mansion."

The man received Wang Lin's order, and went to the street again, similar situations, of course, more than one or two, when Sun Xiangfu sent the fish, kneeling in the side hall of the Qin Mansion and waiting for the summons, his foundation was almost touched by some magnates in Chang'an, probably that is, he became a farmer with a village chief by hugging the thigh of the Duke of Yiguo, and he was quite dedicated, the fish cage was invented by him, and he made the largest scale, but the fish was never sold, and it was originally saved for the Duke of Yiguo.

This matter, it's very common, there are no low-level people in the Tang Dynasty who don't want to cling to the powerful, including the powerful, and they are always thinking about how to please the emperor, King Qin is happy, unless you can be as big as the seven sects and five surnames that the emperor can't move, otherwise you have to abide by such a rule of survival.

"Farmer? Interesting, this day is about to cool down completely, the fishmonger can collect less and less fish, you and send someone to his village to see, if there is still stock, buy it all, in terms of price, there is no need to shorten him, it can be regarded as giving Yiguo Gong some face. ”

Wang Lin explained casually, then got up and left, it was just a restaurant, and there was no need for a noble son of his status to worry about everything, and the people below would get things done according to his will.

In the Qin Mansion, Fu Bo personally asked people to tidy up a table of wine and food for Sun Xiangfu to enjoy, and when he received the fish goods on the dock, he sent someone to inform the mansion quickly, at this moment, Qin Qiong had already taken the fish goods to the Taiji Palace.

"Your Highness, the matter of the imperial banquet can be solved, Qiong brought the yellow eel loach over 10,000 catties and presented it to His Highness."

"Ten thousand catties?"

On the main throne, Li Shimin was stunned when he heard this, and said happily, "Uncle Bao is lonely and worried, come quickly, where did you get these fish and goods?" ”

"This minister has to mention the minister's neighbor Xiao Dalang again." Qin Qiong saw that Li Shimin was in a good mood, so she stroked her beard and smiled.

"Sun Dalang? Is that the Sun Dalang who invented stir-frying? ”

Sun Xiangfu would not believe that the name of his little farmer would actually reach the ears of Li Shimin, the first emperor of the ages, and it was remembered.

"That's right, it's this Sun Dalang, but his talent, not only cook, according to the people in the house, this kid is self-taught, although he was born in a farmer's family, but he can write and calculate, and is very good at fishing and breeding, according to my subordinate guards, in his village, the pond that raises this loach and yellow eel, no less than hundreds, even if it is sent to Chang'an more than 10,000 catties, it is only a small half of his pond, you haven't seen it, the fish sent to Chang'an are carefully selected, even the size is comparable. Now that Chang'an fish is expensive, I'm afraid that this kid's village will be rich and oily. ”

"There are really talented people in the countryside! Farmers can have a means of livelihood other than arable land, which is also a blessing for my Tang Dynasty, and this person should be rewarded. ”

Li Shimin likes to have a banquet with his ministers, a proper big foodie, and when he heard that more than 10,000 catties of fish is only a small half of the output of Happy Village, he suddenly looked happy, and said secretly, the previous work was not in vain.

"In this way, congratulations to His Royal Highness for having another virtuous talent." Qin Qiong knows Li Shimin's urine too well, and now that the new dynasty is about to be established, although the old department of the Qin Wangfu has set up the main framework, there is a shortage of talents in all aspects, Sun Xiangfu is valued by Li Shimin, and I am afraid that he will be able to get an official body in the future.

Out of the Qin Palace, Qin Qiong quickly returned, Li Shimin's mood was better, Qin Qiong's mood was naturally a lot better, the fish was Qin Qiongjin dedicated to Li Shimin, so Li Shimin would not pay the fish price, but in his words, it had been revealed that the reward that was originally intended to be given to Qin Qiong at the enthronement ceremony was raised by a small level, and the number of food was increased from 1,000 to 1,200, of course, the actual food was only increased from 700 to 800. Don't underestimate this level, 100 households are equivalent to hundreds of laborers, can cultivate thousands of acres of land, and it is an industry that can be passed down from generation to generation.

The reason why there are 1,200 households and 800 households is because the population is growing, in fact, Qin Qiong was given 800 households, and before it grew to 1,200 households, these populations belonged to Qin Qiong, but if it exceeded 1,200 households, you had to hand it over to the imperial court.

The first thing Qin Qiong did when he returned to the mansion was to summon Sun Xiangfu, who had eaten and drunk enough, after telling Sun Xiangfu what King Qin thought of him, Sun Xiangfu was wandering in the ocean of happiness, and he couldn't imagine that he was a mountain villager, and he actually let Li Shimin hear his name several times, and he was ready to be crowned, but his brother just went to Chang'an to sell fish, how could he be crowned?

I want to have Qin Qiong's face here, you know, Qin Qiong has followed Li Shimin for so many years, but he has not recommended any talents in front of him, if you let Sun Xiangfu know, Li Shimin is purely for the sake of coveting those fish in his Happy Village, it is estimated that he wants to die, there are two big mouths of Wei Chigong and Cheng Biting Jin, Li Shimin wants to know that Sun Xiangfu is difficult, during this time, everything that happened in Happy Village, Li Shimin is clear, mediocre, how can Li Shimin personally use it to collect it.
