Chapter 113 doesn't put all your eggs in the same basket
Tired of eating all kinds of imperial meals in the court, canned food became a jade plate delicacy in the eyes of Song Huizong. He chewed slowly, enjoying the softness and smoothness of the can, closing his eyes and savoring the long aroma of the can, feeling the fragrance of his lips and teeth, and another flavor.
Cai You said with a smile on his face: "Your Majesty will taste this braised beef again, what is the difference from the one just now." ”
Song Huizong took a bite and praised repeatedly: "How can I enjoy such a delicious taste to myself, send a few cans to the queen and the crown prince in a while, and let them try it too." ”
As he spoke, he added to Cai You: "Master Cai will also bring a few cans." ”
Cai You hurriedly knelt down and said: "The lower official did not have His Majesty's will, and left a few jars for his father privately, please atone for Your Majesty!" ”
Huizong smiled and said: "This dynasty governs the country with filial piety, what is the crime of being filial to your father?" Aiqing not only did not sin but went to make merit, let the Taishi see if there was a deficiency there for you to make up for it. Don't forget to get more delicious food for me in the future, let's get even! ”
Cai You said hypocritically: "The lower officials don't want to be high-ranking officials, they just want to serve Your Majesty every day, bring joy to Your Majesty, and be Your Majesty's pistachio." ”
Song Huizong was very useful in his heart, he smiled and said: "Who said that if you are a high-ranking official, you can't wait for me, and come to accompany me to have fun when you are free, but you have to guard against those officials." ”
Cai You pandered: "Weichen understands! Wechen understands! ”
Huizong and Cai You were talking happily, and the chamberlain came in and bowed and said, "Your Majesty, Master Cai asks to see you!" ”
"Come in, please!"
After speaking, Song Huizong joked: "This is in line with the saying, saying that Cao Cao Cao will arrive, hahaha······"
Cai You saw that His Majesty compared his father to a traitor, so he could only laugh awkwardly. Huizong realized that he had made a mistake, so he stopped laughing and said: "It's better to come early than to come early, Taishi is blessed today." ”
As he was talking, Cai Jing came in with a suitcase, and Song Huizong was puzzled. Cai Jing put down the box and bowed down: "Weichen Cai Jing knocks on Your Majesty, long live my emperor!" Banzai! Hooray! ”
Huizong said: "Cai Aiqing quickly flattened her body, Qing is the share of the country, and she is old, and she will be exempted from bowing when she sees me in the future." ”
Cai Jing thanked him, Huizong gave him a seat, and Cai Jing sat down and said: "The dog sent some food to the old minister today, what does it seem to be called······ The name is quite strange, and the old minister can't remember it for a while. Lao Chen······ Oh, come to think of it, it's called canned. After tasting it, the old minister felt that the taste was special, and he had never seen this kind of food, so the old minister did not dare to enjoy the food alone, so he brought it to His Majesty to taste. ”
Hui Zongxi rushed and said: "Cai Aiqing is really my loyalty, why am you afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will not be prosperous, but I have also eaten this canned food, and it tastes really good!" ”
Cai Jing looked up at Huizong in surprise and said: "It turns out that Your Majesty has already eaten this kind of food, and the old minister still thinks it is a rare thing, it seems that the old minister is lonely and unheard, and his knowledge is getting farther and farther away from His Majesty." ”
Huizong said: "I have just tasted it, Cai You sent canned food to both Qing and I, it is really loyalty and filial piety, Taishi will see where there is a vacancy, and give him a liter." ”
Cai Jing pretended to shirk and said: "The dog is thin and talented, and he is worthy of a big responsibility, so it is better for Your Majesty not to be promoted." ”
Cai You also echoed the concession, and Huizong said: "Don't be modest, Taishi, I have made up my mind, you prepare an excerpt and submit it, and I will play it accurately!" ”
The three of them exchanged pleasantries for a while, and Cai Jing suddenly showed a look of worrying about the country and the people, and sighed: "I think that tens of thousands of soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are stationed at the border passes, spilling blood on the battlefield, and swearing to defend the country to the death, they are the heroes of our Great Song Dynasty." It's a pity......"
Cai Jing sighed silently, and Huizong said in surprise: "What is Aiqing's pity? ”
Cai Jing said: "It is said that the border soldiers often can't eat meat, fresh vegetables and fruits, and their nutrition can't keep up at all. If this continues, the combat effectiveness will definitely decline, and Your Majesty should have made plans as soon as possible! ”
Huizong hurriedly asked, "What should the Ether Master's opinion be?" ”
Cai Jing said: "Today, when the old minister ate this canned food, he had a whim, if the canned food is used as military food and often sent to the border pass, the border army will definitely be grateful to His Majesty." In this way, the morale is greatly increased, the morale of the army is prosperous, and Hu Ma'an dares to spend Yin Mountain!"
After listening to Song Huizong, he said: "There is an old treasure in the family, Aiqing is really my arm, often relieve my worries, tomorrow I will make an excerpt, the court will discuss, I will be accurate!" ”
Cai Jing said: "If this is the case, it is the prosperity of the Great Song Dynasty!" Your Majesty derbies the three emperors, and the five emperors, although Yao Shunyu soup is not as good! ”
Huizong was happy in his heart when he heard it, like a flower blooming in a courtyard.
Seeing that the emperor was satisfied, Cai Jing said: "The other ministers don't know the taste of canned food, and they can't help but have ideas when they talk about it. ”
Huizong asked, "What should I do with Aiqing?" ”
Cai Jing said: "Tomorrow I will open a few cans of canned food in the court, and I will fold it after the ministers taste it, so it is reasonable and evidence-based, and it may be more convincing." ”
Huizong said: "Just according to Aiqing's words." Come on, prepare a meal, I have dinner with Master Tai and his son today. ”
Cai Jing is really cunning, and the ministers in the court praised it after tasting the canned food. In the midst of the praise, the sudden proposal to use canned food as military rations caught many ministers off guard.
Gao Yu was the first to top Cai Jing. What is said that the Taishi cares about the community, and he is an example for the ministers, and everyone takes the Taishi as an example to share the worries of His Majesty. Then Cai Jing and Gao Yu's tail wagging system sang praises again, and Song Huizong, who was slapping his farts for a while, was dizzy, really felt that he was the greatest emperor in history, and reprimanded a few ministers who sang the opposite tune again and again, and left everything to Cai Jing to be fully responsible.
Seeing that his father did not mention the issue of promoting himself, Cai You was unhappy, so he retreated and went to Cai Jing to ask. He first said that Huizong was really good at fooling, and the father and son sang the double reed and it was done. Now that my father has greatly increased his prestige among His Majesty and his ministers, and he has rich interests in military rations, he can be promoted again, which is really killing three birds with one stone.
How could Cai Jing not hear what his son meant, he was good at playing with power, and this son who was not deep in the city always gave him some feelings of difficulty in taking on a big responsibility. He counted down the son of the monkey and told him to calm down. You can't do anything at once, and if you are too sharp and provoke the jealousy of the ministers, wouldn't you get into trouble, and now is not the time to promote him.
Cai You didn't think so, he felt that this official was earned by him with the emperor, and the emperor said, why are you Cai Jing pressing. He suddenly felt a hatred for his father in his heart, and he remembered that Cai Jing vigorously cultivated his second brother Cai Qian on weekdays, as if he was cultivating the successor of the Cai family, so this hatred was even worse.
Knowing his son Mo Ruo's father, Cai Jing instantly understood Cai You's heart, and then he severely reprimanded Cai You, giving an example to demonstrate the dangers of both father and son holding power. Cai You understood that his father was for the good of the Cai family, so he knelt down and admitted his mistake, but the loss in his heart was self-evident.
Cai Jing couldn't help but sigh when he saw it, who was not moved in the face of high-ranking officials Houlu, the eldest son couldn't hold his breath, so he could only find another way, so he said a few words to Cai You's ear.
Cai You was stunned at first, and then knelt on the ground and cried after he understood.
Cai Jing picked up his son and said, "Child, you remember that only by doing this, the Cai family is the safest!" It's like putting eggs in a basket, if you put all the eggs in the same basket, if the basket turns over, all the eggs will break. Moreover, if you put your eggs in one basket, there is an imbalance between the left and right, and it is not easy to carry or walk. If it is placed in two baskets, it is balanced left and right, which is easy to carry and easier to walk. In the future, you should endure humiliation and burden, for the father's basket is in the light, your basket is in the dark, and the double reed of our father and son must continue to sing. ”
Cai You listened to his father's words, and since then he has curried favor with Song Huizong to the point of a perversion, and was finally worshiped by Huizong as the leader of the Privy Council. Then their father and son turned against each other, and they spread rumors about Cai Qian many times, asking Huizong to order Cai Qian to be killed. In the eyes of the ministers, this is Cai Jing's serious sin, but in fact, it is just a trick played by his father and son.
Song Jiang was really startled when he looked at the order, the wealth of the Great Song Dynasty was really not covered, and he ordered 200,000 cans of canned food at one time. 150,000 canned meat and 50,000 canned fruit were sent to Bianjing in five times, with 30,000 cans of meat and 10,000 cans of fruit each time.
Song Jiang couldn't help but sigh: Cai Jing is really a good partner, I am afraid that the production will not be able to be completed, so I will distribute it in batches. Now it doesn't matter whether it is a loyal minister or a traitor, it is the main thing to hurry up production.
Tao Zongwang has become a busy person in Qingfeng Mountain at this stage, and the number of canned food production is tight, and it is certain that he will work overtime. However, the employees of the canning factory are still very active, without the slightest complaint, not to mention overtime pay, the most important thing is that they finally raised their eyebrows and swept away the embarrassment of being looked down upon by other factories, and now who would say that the employees of the canning factory are specialized in eating canned food.
Busy is busy, but busy can bring them a joy and excitement that they have never experienced before. Although he works overtime, there must be no problems with quality, which is what Song Jiang particularly emphasized.
Tao Zongwang ran around in various workshops, requiring the management personnel of each workshop to strictly control the quality, firmly establish the awareness of quality first, concentrate on production, and hand in a satisfactory answer to Brother Song with high-quality products.
The busy people and Cao Zheng and a group of slaughterers led by him provide meat to the restaurant on weekdays, and the slaughter of livestock is limited, so he doesn't need to do it. Not now, he has to do it himself.
As a result, a different scenery appeared in the Qingfeng Mountain slaughterhouse: the dying struggle of livestock and the busy figures of the slaughtering staff, the desperate cries of the livestock and the shouts of the slaughterers were intertwined, a chaotic and busy scene.
