Section 499 Foodie Rhapsody

In the autumn of the first year of Yanhe, Jiazi (the first day of the new year).

The edict of the Son of Heaven said: I have entrusted the king of the world with a blinking body, and I have been forty for six years, and I can't appease the people with virtue, and I can't serve the people with grace, and I am trembling, like walking on thin ice, for fear that I will harm the legacy of the emperor with my immorality.

In the past, there was a drought in the summer in Guanzhong, and the people were trapped in hunger and cold, and I was very sympathetic, so I ordered the scholars and ministers to implement the 'ration system' and give rice to each household to relieve the people's hardship.

Now Chang'an has another epidemic, and the disease of typhoid fever has usurped the whole city, and the people are terrified.

Relying on the blessing of the ancestors, the spirit of the community, and the blessing of God, Emperor Gao of the Dream of Heaven used it to give medicine, but he used it to serve Zhang Yi and Shangguan, and died of typhoid fever!

Shuyun: If the network is in the outline, it will be orderly and orderly!

Alack! The virtue of the first king is beautiful!

It is shared with the world with medicine, and the scholars and ministers should know what they mean, and publicize it widely, and Xiaoyu is a subject of the world.

Under the imperial history, the imperial history of the violent victory, panicked, read with the minister, and then wrote to congratulate: "Your Majesty Jia Dade in the world, the people have seen it, the ministers have seen it, the summer drought in Guanzhong, the epidemic in Chang'an, Your Majesty is a great deke, the people are all healthy, the epidemic has dissipated, and the ministers think that although the ancient Tang Wu and Pan Geng, it is not as good as the rule of Your Majesty!" Since ancient times, the king has succeeded in governing music, and the ministers are dull, please order too often to make music, in order to dedicate the temple! ”

Soshu arrived in Lantai and quickly got a reply: Yes!

So Taichang Qing Shang Qiu Cheng was instructed to formulate a set of music and dance for today's son to praise the virtues and merits of His Majesty.

This is almost naked shameless, reaching out to the people of the world to ask for a temple number after death!

Because, only the king with the temple number can enjoy the music and dance that belongs to him in the temple after death.

If it had been before, no one would have dared to be so shameless!

After all, the first emperor's merits were so great, and he didn't get a temple number.

Today, even at its peak, I don't dare to think about it.

But now it's different.

At least in the eyes of the world, this majesty is really a god and martial this year, majestic!

First of all, the drought in Guanzhong led to a total crop failure, and a catastrophe was about to occur.

Outcome......

Until now, the price of rice in Guanzhong has not fluctuated, and it has always been controlled at a level of about 100 yuan per stone.

And......

Because of the influx of wheat flour, squatting owls, and knotweed products, it has greatly enriched the dietary structure of the people in Guanzhong.

In particular, the diet of the middle- and upper-class aristocratic landlords, scholars, and doctors.

Instead, they gained a lot of weight and became much healthier.

Many aristocrats who used to have some stomach problems and other chronic diseases even relieved their illness because they took turns eating steamed buns, noodles, konjac tofu, and taro vermicelli.

As for the people at the bottom?

In such famine years, but there was no hunger.

They're even full of food now!

Because of the popularity and popularity of wheat flour, the quota of wheat flour they hold can be doubled or tripled in exchange for cheap squatting and knotweed products.

The taste of squatting owl and taro products is of course not as good as wheat flour or corn.

I even felt a little uncomfortable after eating too much.

But where do the common people care about this?

In the old days of famine, the hungry could even gnaw on the bark of grass roots.

Now, it's nice to be able to eat a full or half-full.

And then the typhoid epidemic in Chang'an City proved to the world with undoubted results.

From the outbreak of the epidemic to complete control, it took only three days.

It took only five days to completely eliminate the epidemic.

Within five days, the vast majority of patients in Chang'an City were basically cured.

In the eyes of the world, this is no longer a miracle, but a miracle!

Especially when His Majesty personally told the ministers that the medicine to cure typhoid fever was the guidance of Emperor Gao's gods in a dream, and then taught it to Zhang Zizhong and Uncle Shangguan in the service to carry it out.

Who dares to say what is not?

And who's to question what?

In short, the government and the opposition are singing praises of virtue.

It was also under such circumstances that His Majesty, with a blushing face and a heartbeat, instructed Storm Victory and played such a play.

The results are certainly fantastic!

Maybe in Chang'an City, there will be people who are suspicious.

But out of the gate of Chang'an City, it is really Haiqing Heyan, and the saint was born!

The people of Guanzhong originally had a good impression of Liu.

Some time ago, the summer drought in Guanzhong led to a large-scale crop failure, but the state did not ignore it, but invested a lot of manpower, material resources and resources.

At least basic livelihood needs are guaranteed.

That's even more of a plus.

Now, everyone has heard that the Son of Heaven can even overcome typhoid fever, and there is also a pretending X bridge section of Emperor Gao's gods and spirits to kill all groups.

Of course, the people believed.

For a time, the rule of the Han family was not a small good, but a great good!

Almost the entire people of Guanzhong are busy singing praises to the Son of Heaven while collecting all kinds of willow bark, bellflower, gardenia, orange peel, and cinnamon branches.

It's just that......

There are still some discordant voices, and the gossip party in Chang'an City is telling another version of the story in private.

Now, however, these voices are being ignored.

It was even thought to be nonsense!

…………………………

In such a harmonious voice, Zhang Yue sat in a side hall of the Jade Hall, watching dozens of eunuchs and palace maids, picking bird's nests.

These bird's nests were just picked from the cliffs of Zhan'er County in the distance, and then sent to Chang'an at an expedited speed of 800 miles.

There are about 100 of them.

Each one is the best pure natural wild bird's nest.

If it is left to future generations, the price of this batch of bird's nests may be millions larger.

But today, their biggest cost is just transportation.

As for the cost of collection?

Zhang Yue heard that there seemed to be a total of a few pieces of cloth......

Looking at these bird's nests, the corners of Zhang Yue's mouth also floated into a smile: "This is a good start......

With bird's nest, pearl cliff and Zhan'er, it is no longer a barren land.

For the sake of bird's nest, many people will go to the local area to develop it.

As long as there are more people, people will soon find that in addition to poisonous insects and beasts, Zhuya and Zhan'er also have land that can grow three times a year.

Of course, Artemisia annua is also a must-have.

Thinking about this in his heart, Zhang Yue's mood became extremely good.

"The Servant of the Prince...... Take a look, have you picked it out? A eunuch, holding a plate of white bird's nest silk soaked in water, presented it to Zhang Yue and asked respectfully.

Zhang Yue looked down and saw that these bird's nests, which had been soaked for two or three hours, were white in color and had no impurities, so he nodded with satisfaction: "It's good...... Let's go get the reward later......"

He picked up the plate of bird's nest and walked to the kitchen of Yutang.

took an urn that specializes in boiling food, Zhang Yue picked out about a dozen grams of bird's nest, put it in the urn, and then mixed it with water, put more than a dozen grams of red dates and a spoonful of honey (no way, don't talk about sugar cubes now, not even brown sugar...... )。

Then cook slowly over low heat.

Around him, more than a dozen chefs ordered by the soup official were engrossed in their attention, not daring to let go of any details.

After Zhang Yue did all this, he shook his hand, walked out of the kitchen, took a simple book, and lay down in the courtyard to bask in the sun.

Half an hour later, he brought the boiled fragrant and steaming bird's nest to the Son of Heaven.

"Your Majesty, please use ......" Zhang Yue smiled and said: "This is bird's nest soup, which can nourish yin and moisten the lungs, nourish the body, and a cup a day can benefit life and prolong life......

When the Son of Heaven heard this, his eyes lit up.

Now, his confidence in Zhang Yue's health is 100%.

Because, up to now, he has followed Zhang Yue's advice, and everything he has done has been effective.

So, he couldn't wait to pick up the soup spoon and taste the bird's nest soup.

The sweet fragrance immediately sparked in his heart, making his whole person feel comfortable.

"Delicious!" The Son of Heaven praised it, especially the bird's nest soup mixed with a sweetness that made him linger for a long time in the fragrance.

The sweet taste immediately made his brain secrete a lot of dopamine.

The whole person's mood has also become extremely happy.

So, he quickly wiped out the bird's nest soup in front of him, and after eating, he closed his eyes and praised: "I am really blessed to have Qing here!" ”

This bird's nest soup is much more delicious than the morning dew and pills that the monks flickered around!

It's such a delicious thing, and the effect is sure to be amazing!

Zhang Yue suddenly sighed, pretending to be melancholy.

When the Son of Heaven saw it, he was surprised and asked, "Why is Qing sighing?" ”

"The minister is sighing, Your Majesty can't fully taste the deliciousness of this thing......" Zhang Yue bowed in a low voice.

"What's really delicious?" The Son of Heaven licked his lips and asked, "What does Qing mean ......?"

"If there is a sugar cube made of sucrose, the sweetness of this thing can be further improved...... Zhang Yuegong said: "It's just a pity that the sucrose is produced in Jiaozhi and Ninan......"

"What does it matter?" The Son of Heaven waved his hand disapprovingly: "I will send envoys to Jiaozhi County and Rinan County, and ask them to pay tribute to cane sugar......

For him, as long as he wants it, he will definitely get it!

Whether it is flying in the sky or swimming in the water.

Zhang Yue listened, but showed a hint of an imperceptible smile, and bowed: "Your Majesty Shengming!" ”

The current Zhuxia people are extremely lacking in sugar supplements!

Of course, in the current world, almost all regions of the planet are deficient in sugar!

With the exception of a few fruits and honey that are high in sugar, the chances of people's taste buds tasting 'sweetness' are very, very low!

This made Zhang Yue really sigh.

How boring is life without sugar?

I didn't see that now in Chang'an City, as Zhang Yue introduced konjac tofu to the market, soybean tofu has also become popular, and tofu brain has become the most people-friendly breakfast snack on the streets of Chang'an.

Many people began to pick up the burden and sell tofu brains along the streets.

But here's the problem......

Because there is no sugar, the broad masses of people can only use pickles to accompany tofu brain.

How can this be?

Can you eat tofu brain without sugar?

Therefore, in Jiaozhi, Panyu, Rinan, and even Zhuya and Zhan'er areas, vigorously developing sugarcane planting is the direction of Zhang Yue's efforts.

As long as it succeeds and brings the rhythm of the sugar trade, then it is no longer possible for these regions to break away from the Han dynasty.

It can also allow people all over the world to eat high-quality and inexpensive sugar.

What a win-win-win-win-win-

Of course, relying only on the Son of Heaven to issue an order to the local people to pay tribute to cane sugar is just an introduction, a way for people to realize cane sugar.

Just like bird's nest now.

So far, only today knows that it is delicious and can maintain health.

But......

The emperor took the lead and loved to eat.

It has always been sought after and emulated by others.

There is a saying that the king of Chu has a thin waist, and he starves to death in the palace.

In the foreseeable future, the swiftlets of Zhuya and Zhan'er counties are afraid that they will usher in a catastrophe two thousand years ahead of schedule.

Their nest is targeted by humans, and they are the most powerful foodie people in the world.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Yue sweated for them.

But it doesn't matter, before industrialization, humans threatened nature and species, and to be honest, they didn't have the natural enemies of these species.

So......

They're about going to have to work a little harder.

Some individuals will be more unlucky, but the impact on the entire population should not be too great.

Therefore, Zhang Yue also sold his plan with peace of mind.

The Son of Heaven looked at Zhang Yue and said, "Qing once said to me that bird's nest, mountain ginseng, abalone, shark fin, cordyceps are delicious and healthy, I didn't think it was in the past, but now, I am deeply impressed......"

"Bird's nest is so delicious, so what about shark fin, abalone and mountain ginseng? I'm really looking forward to ......."

When Zhang Yue heard this, he said respectfully: "Your Majesty, wait patiently for another month or two, and you can taste all ......."

Swiftlets, abalone, ginseng, and cordyceps, Zhang Yue is not worried about them.

It's the shark......

Zhang Yue silently apologized to them in his heart.

The foodie people discovered their delicacy two thousand years in advance, and it can only be said that it will be destined to be a catastrophe!

In the foreseeable future, none of the sharks in the oceans will want to run!

If the Zhuxia people come to the earth in the future, I am afraid that the shark species will replace the status of the dodo......

Even now, the sharks in the East China Sea and the South China Sea may not have a few good days.

It's pitiful to think about.

The shark is a species that is said to have appeared in the Triassic period and has been breeding and evolving on Earth for countless years.

They survived the meteorite catastrophe of the extinction of the dinosaurs, but they are about to fall into the hands of foodies.

Because, if Zhang Yue wants the Zhuxia people to pay attention to and develop their control over the sea, they must find an inducement.

Food is always irresistible to the Zhuxia nation!

Thinking about these things in his heart, Zhang Yue heard the Son of Heaven ask, "Are you ready to go back to Xinfeng?" ”

"Returning to Your Majesty......" Zhang Yue hurriedly gathered his heart and bowed: "Yes, the minister has made an appointment with His Royal Highness the eldest grandson, and will return to Xinfeng ...... tomorrow."

"Winter is coming soon, Xinfeng's water conservancy construction, the minister has to go back and stare at ......"

It's been almost half a month since I left Xinfeng, and I have to go back to have a look and make a plan.

Of course, the most important thing is that he has to keep a low profile and try not to make any big news in front of people in the past few months.

Peacefully and steadily, the transition to next year.

When Xinfeng's wheat is harvested, then a great event will be accomplished, and all cows, ghosts, snakes and gods will be crushed by the wheel of history!

The Son of Heaven listened, nodded, and said with a smile: "Then Qing will let it go!" ”

"I will give Qing full power!"

This time, Zhang Yue not only helped him get rid of the ancient literature school, but also established his authority.

What's more, he also got a temple number in advance.

Although in fact, he didn't want any temple number at all, but if he couldn't get immortality, the temple number would become the last pursuit.

After making such a great contribution, of course the Son of Heaven knows what he has to do!
