"Chen Changsheng has seen Your Majesty." Zheng Guogong Changsheng walked into a side hall of the Qianqing Palace, knelt down and said to Yun Xi.

"Uncle, get up." Yun Xi walked over, stretched out his hand to help him up, and said.

Chang Sheng stood up and asked Yun Xi suspiciously, "Your Majesty, what is the matter with the generals called at this time?" "He was appointed as the deputy general of the Admiral Grain and Grass, and he was about to leave for Guangxi, he was very busy these days, what did the emperor call him over for at this time?

Yun Xi didn't speak, but took out a small bag, handed it to him and said, "Uncle, don't ask so much, try this." ”

Chang Sheng looked at what looked like pickled dried radish in the bag and asked, "Your Majesty, what is this?" ”

"Uncle try it first." Yun Xi just said.

Chang Sheng then took the bag from Yun Xi's hand, tied one with a toothpick, and ate it in his mouth.

After a moment, his expression changed, and after swallowing the food in his mouth, he immediately said, "Your Majesty, is this a pickled radish?" However, the taste is completely different from ordinary pickled radish, and if it is served with rice, it is better than radish. ”

"Now the army in Guangxi is in some small trouble because of the shortage of vegetables and vegetables, and this thing can just solve this small trouble." Chang Sheng immediately thought of this.

"Uncle is right, the reason why I took out this special pickled radish and named it mustard is to solve the problem that there is no vegetable to match with food when the army is marching." Yun Xi said.

At the same time, he thought of something else in his mind: 'Isn't it okay to say that you can't be promoted?' When I took this out, he could think of any use, and it was a genius! Why don't you use him to take charge of the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies in the future? No, the Chang family's power is too great, unlike Xue Ning and Li Jian, they can't let him run the Governor's Mansion of the Five Armies. How do you use him on weekdays......

Yun Xi immediately retracted his thoughts, and heard Chang Sheng ask again: "Your Majesty, please forgive the ministers for being presumptuous, but how did Your Majesty discover this special pickled and mustard?" ”

"I stumbled upon this yesterday." Yun Xi said.

This mustard was obtained by Yunxi from Li Zhiliang yesterday. The reason why he forcibly pulled Li Zhiliang into the carriage after seeing him yesterday was that he was interested in their secret recipe for pickling vegetables.

After Yun Xi saw the letter before going to the martial arts hall yesterday, although he approved three words 'I know' at that time, he has always remembered this matter in his heart. It just so happened that he went out to see Li Zhiliang, and remembered that the last time he saw him, he said that he had sold dry food at home, and there was a secret recipe for pickled vegetables at home, so he called him into the car and asked.

After some inquiry, Li Zhiliang took out a small bag containing his own mustard from his clothes and asked Yunxi to taste it; Of course, Yun Xi didn't know how to eat it himself, so he let a guard taste it, and this guard thought it was very good, and his rhetoric was the same as Chang Sheng's.

Yun Xi immediately asked people to rush to Li Zhiliang's store outside the city to buy a lot of them, Yun Xi tasted it himself, and immediately tasted it: "Isn't this the mustard of the later generations!" At this time, there will be mustard in the future! ’

However, he tasted it carefully, and it was still different from the mustard of later generations, not exactly the same.

But in any case, it was much better than the pickles that the soldiers now eat, so Yunxi decided to promote mustard.

After listening to Yun Xi's words, Chang Sheng said: "Your Majesty, since this is the case, the minister will take this person to Guangxi to pickle this special mustard." ”

"It doesn't have to be. Their family's mustard is not the only one that their family can make, as long as they know the secret recipe of seasoning, anyone who has pickled vegetables can make it. ”

"I have already obtained the secret recipe from their family, you take it to Guangdong, give the secret recipe to the people of Guangdong, let the people of Guangdong know this secret recipe, and purchase mustard from the people. I have already let the people know this secret recipe in the capital yesterday, and I will also purchase mustard for the army to eat. ”

"Of course, I don't want his secret recipe in vain. I have decreed that he be crowned as a hereditary fictitious household, and that he be rewarded with gold and silver. Yun Xi said. He now has no way to promote patent rights and the like, and the mustard produced by his small workshop is not enough for even a hundred soldiers to eat, so he cannot be allowed to produce it exclusively, so he can only be rewarded by the state.

"Your Majesty, this is a very good move." Chang Shengdao.

Yun Xi smiled and said, "I don't have anything else to do, my uncle will go back and prepare to go to Guangxi." ”

"In that case, the minister will retire." Chang Sheng bowed and bowed.

When he retreated, Yun Xi sat in his seat and said in a low voice: "I have solved a small trouble of the Ming soldiers, and the certainty of defeating the Annan people cleanly is one point greater." ”

"I've also been to the martial arts hall, and now there is nothing to do in the capital, so I can leave for Annan."

"But it's the Double Ninth Festival in two days, so let's wait for the Double Ninth Festival to pass before going to Guangdong."

……

……

"Fengtian carries the emperor's edict and says, in response to the ,......, of Li Zhiliang, a common man of Tianfu, he will seal the hereditary hundred households of Yulin Zuowei, and reward 50 taels of gold and 100 taels of silver.

"The grass people thank Lord Longen. Long live Your Majesty, long live, long live! Li Zhiliang and his father knelt on the ground and said.

The little eunuch who passed the decree immediately handed the decree to Li Zhiliang and said with a smile: "Congratulations to Li Baihu." ”

"Don't dare to be, don't dare to be." While Li Zhiliang received the holy decree from his hand, he handed the little eunuch a small ingot of silver from his hand, and said in a low voice: "Thank you father-in-law." ”

The little eunuch pinched the silver, a smile appeared on his face, and said, "Li Baihu is too polite. ”

The two exchanged a few words, and Li Zhiliang said again: "Father-in-law, it's better to enter the cold house and drink a cup of tea before leaving." ”

"No need, we still have something to do, so we won't bother Li Baihu more." The little eunuch said with a smile, and then took the people away. Li Zhiliang sent dozens of zhang before returning.

When he returned to his house, his parents immediately pounced on him and asked, "Zhiliang, what the hell is going on?" How can there be a decree given to our family? His father, Li Dali, said as he looked at the holy decree in Li Zhiliang's hand, wanting to take it and take a look, but he didn't do it as if he was afraid of something.

Li Zhiliang handed them the holy decree and said with a smile: "This is very similar to a storytelling. Then he told him about yesterday's events.

“…… When my son first saw the emperor yesterday, he thought that he had some evil intentions, and even thought of practicing evil arts, and wanted to arrest me and go back to refine evil items. ”

Later, I heard him ask about the secret recipe of our family's pickled vegetables, and my son was even more strange. There were a lot of people who coveted our family's secret recipe in the past, but they were all about the same status as him, and even the county lieutenant of the police station in charge of the ferry outside the city didn't care after knowing that their family had a secret recipe for pickled vegetables, so how could such a noble son care? It is not the secret ingredient for firing priceless porcelain. ”

"Later, the emperor explained the reason, it was because the army of the Great Expedition to Annam had no vegetables to eat that he paid attention to the secret recipe of our family's pickles, and my son understood." Li Zhiliang said his feelings by the way.

"You still see the emperor!" His mother, Yang's eyes widened, and she said.

"Yes, Zhiliang, you can still see the emperor!" His father, Li Dali, also said in surprise.

"Of course, otherwise how did this holy decree of our family come about!" Li Zhiliang said as if showing off.

"That's the emperor, the Son of Heaven, the stars in the sky are reincarnated, our ancestral tomb is smoking, I can't believe it." Li Dali said very excitedly.

"Father, mother, not only you can't believe it, but my son couldn't believe it yesterday. But that's what really happened. Yesterday, my son pinched his arm and swollen it. Li Zhiliang said.

The family sighed for a while, and Li Dali said: "Hurry up and frame the holy decree, what do you look like holding it like this!" So saying, he took the decree from his son's hand, opened it, looked at it again, took out his most delicate small wooden box, and put it in it.

"Zhiliang, you go and invite the white head over and let him frame it. No, he just eats outside the city, and his skills are not good. You go to the city and get the best framer. ”

"Buy some pig's head melons and fruits tomorrow, and go to worship the ancestral grave in two days; By the way, let the rest of the clan see that our family is also thriving. ”

"......" Li Dali happily commanded a lot. Li Zhiliang agreed one by one.

After all these orders were over, Li Dali sat on the chair to catch his breath, and then thought of something and asked: "Zhiliang, since you have become a hereditary hundred households, although it is only a false title, don't take care of these boats and shops at home anymore." ”

When Li Zhiliang heard this, he was quite reluctant. Ordinary people are like this, and they are unwilling to let go of what they have in their hands. But he also knew that it was really inappropriate for him to be a hundred households and then take care of these, and he knew that he had to let go. However, "Dad, it's really not good for my son to take care of it anymore, but the second brother Zhirui is only thirteen years old, and my father still lets him study, which is not suitable for him." So who is in charge of this mess? ”

"Your father and I will take care of it myself. I'm not even fifty years old, and I'm still working. In the future, if your younger brother succeeds in studying, even if he can pass the examination for a showman, this inheritance will be handed over to your second son in the future; If your brother doesn't succeed in the future, and he can't even get into the show, give these to him. ”

"Dad plans to let your brother take the imperial examination until thirty. If you can't get into Xiucai at thirty, don't take the exam and take charge of this family business. Li Dali said.

Li Zhiliang nodded. His father's disposition was very good, and he had no opinion.

"After a few days, after worshipping the ancestral tomb, you will go to this Yulin Left Guard to be on duty. Although you are only a fictitious title now, you must make friends with the people in the guard, whether it is a small soldier or a general, you can't offend. After befriending them, our family will have a backer in the future. Those people, even if they are just a small soldier, are much stronger than our family, and you must not offend. Li Dali said again.

"Yes, Dad. However, Yulin Zuowei has already gone to Annan, and his son can't go if he wants to! Li Zhiliang said.

"Confused! They always have someone left behind, right? Even if all the generals and soldiers go to Annam, there will always be a family, and you will marry their family! ”

"Our family will prosper in the future, and it will point to you. Although your younger brother took the imperial examination, how many of them can be promoted? Not to mention the middle jinshi. He doesn't seem to be the material for reading, he can grow a showman, and you don't have to trouble you when you encounter small things. ”

"So you must fight hard, work hard in Yulin Zuowei, and you will be able to get a real job in the future, and you will not be busy in vain in this life." Li Dali finally said.

Li Zhiliang nodded seriously. But he thought to himself, 'A hundred households with a real job? In the future, I will at least be a real thousand-household! ’
