"Your Majesty, you may have forgotten that when we went to the Qinglou with you, in order not to be recognized, you specially wore a second-rate suit, and a few of us changed the clothes of the servants and entered the Qinglou, good guy, before we could speak, others threw some silver over, thinking that we were collecting protection money!"

Cheng Yanjin grinned and held a piece of meatloaf, reminiscing while eating.

"But isn't it, someone else is visiting the Qinglou with a fan in his hand, you are good, carrying two big axes in your hands, you know that you are here to visit the Qinglou, and those who don't know think that you are here to rob!"

"Hahaha, isn't this a habit!"

“……”

"Lao Wu, do you still remember the Sanniang in the Yichun courtyard before, that ass, tsk, tsk, you said you were going to carry it home!"

"How are you going, how many years have you been fighting with Xing Daorong for a woman! Still fighting! ”

"Your Majesty was a powerful ...... back then"

A few people are not small voices, Yu Zhiqian heard it clearly, among this group of people are the emperor, the general, the prince, the prime minister, now they are like hooligans, if someone doesn't know the identity, they really think that a certain mountain king has a party!

"Father, your meat skewers!"

Ten minutes later, Yu Zhiqian grilled another wave of meat skewers, looked at more than fifty meat skewers, gritted his teeth and left ten, and sent the remaining forty over.

"Well, put it here, by the way, go get some ice out, it's weirdly hot!"

"Good!"

Yu Zhiqian was ten thousand unhappy in his heart, but he had no choice but to bow his head and listen to the words in front of his father.

"I was still happy at that time, look at a few of us, Di Xiang hasn't changed over the years, my white hair has come out!"

The emperor didn't know if he drank wine or because of what, so he suddenly sighed, and then took a sip of wine: "Try the prince's meat skewers, they taste good, and they are much better than ordinary barbecue!" ”

"It's good, but the meat is a little less!"

“……”

After Yu Zhiqian sent the ice over, he was about to taste the ten meat skewers he left, and when he looked over, he found that there were only skewers without meat, and there were cumin powder and meat foam on the nine bamboo skewers.

Squatting down and looking at the crime scene, the footprints were very messy, looking like a collective crime, and there were also a pair of shoe prints that were obviously one size smaller, which looked like the footprints of a toddler.

Looking along this footprint, I found that there were six people, well, using this unit of measurement, these six little milk dogs were squatting neatly on the side of the road, looking at Yu Zhiqian with a sincere smile on their faces.

"Big brother!"

"Big brother!"

“……”

"My skewers!"

"Big brother, I didn't eat!"

"Big brother, I didn't eat either!"

“……”

This group of guys, Yu Zhiqian has an urge to give each of them a hammer, the oil at the corners of his mouth has not been wiped off, and the eighth child is still holding something in his little hand, secretly hiding behind his back, and cumin powder can be seen on the ground.

"Didn't eat it, what about my meat skewers?"

"Big brother, I just saw a tiger that suddenly came out and ate your meat skewers, and ran away directly, the speed was so fast that the guards didn't react!"

“…… Is it? It's gone, it's gone, I'm just curious, I have ten meat skewers, how do you six divide them? ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's inquiry, Lao Qi immediately stood up proudly: "Big brother, little brother, I divided it, there are six of us in total, but there are ten meat skewers, so I took out six first, one for each person, then half for each person, and the last one was given to the eighth brother......"

After finishing speaking, he looked at Yu Zhiqian triumphantly, but soon Lao Qi reacted that something was wrong, and then squatted down holding his head: "Big brother, I was wrong, I shouldn't steal food!" ”

“……”

"Okay, eat it, I'll prepare some for you! Leave me some! ”

"Thank you, big brother!"

"Big brother is the best!"

Yu Zhiqian sighed and continued to start the barbecue.

Later sources record that the emperor of the Yu Tang Empire, inventor, artist, poet, painter,...... Inventor of the bicycle, inventor of the tricycle, inventor of mahjong, inventor of football...... The inventor of barbecue, when Yu Zhiqian was still the prince, he personally cooked for his father and brother on the way to the ceremony, which was considered by later generations to be a typical example of father's kindness and filial piety, brother and brother's humility, and was also included in the Book of Filial Piety.

Later generations also have a high evaluation of this matter in the history books, and in the later generations of the Yutang Empire, this paragraph was specially taken out to explain, thinking that it was through this barbecue......

"Prince, rest meeting!"

It was about ten o'clock in the evening, Yu Zhiqian was already covered with back pain, and had been barbecuing meat, in order to ensure that the meat was enough to eat, the forbidden army had already passed the surrounding wild boars, wild boar mothers, and little wild boars like a sieve.

"I think suckling pork is a little more delicious, prince, go prepare some suckling pork!"

Seeing Yu Zhiqian bring another plate of meat, Cheng Yanjin shouted with a big grin, at this time, the number of people eating barbecue around the emperor has changed from five or six people at the beginning to more than a dozen, and Yu Zhiqian is still the one who makes the barbecue!

There were also people who wanted to come over to help, but Yu Zhiqian ruthlessly refused, and even made the forbidden army a one-person wall, blocking everyone's vision, and couldn't let others learn their own exclusive formula!

opened a buffet, so that Yu Zhiqian knew a truth, the truth of modern society is not suitable for use in ancient times, and opening a buffet is definitely one of the most brain-dead practices! It's not the right target group!

If you want to make money in ancient times, there is only one goal, that is, nobles, wealthy businessmen, landlords, this group of talents is the main force of consumption in ancient times, and barbecue will also be the secret weapon that Yu Zhiqian is preparing to use to make money, and it is absolutely impossible for people to steal learning!

"It's gone!"

"Gone?"

"Well, the seasoning is gone!"

"It's a pity, Prince, when you go back, bring these wild boar meat back to the East Palace, after the ceremony, I will go to the East Palace!"

"And me! It's been a long time since I've seen my daughter! ”

"The old man hasn't eaten enough for a long time!"

“……”

Yu Zhiqian looked at this group of old guys, if it weren't for his father's presence, he would have been mad on the spot, he was His Royal Highness the Prince, not a barbecue master, not such a bully, robbers and bandits, shameless......

"By the way, Prince, I'm just here to test you! A few of you should also come here, bring your meat skewers too, at a young age, don't eat such greasy things, it's not good for your health! ”

After eating and drinking, the emperor is ready to take the school examination of the crown prince and the rest of the princes, as the emperor, Yu Ye swears that he is definitely not interested in the meat skewers around this group of princes, so he has to test them!

A group of princes and Yu Zhiqian stood aside respectfully, waiting for the emperor's school exam.

The emperor will randomly check the prince's homework every time, sometimes it is the Four Books and Five Classics, sometimes it is some allusions, sometimes it is the opinion of some policies, the time is random, the place is random, the questions are random, there is no reward for good grades, and those with poor grades will be punished, anyway, Yu Zhiqian does not like this kind of school exam.

"The king of Goguryeo asks for help, I hope we can send troops to quell the rebellion in their country, this issue has been discussed by the Ministry of Rites and the Ministry of War for a while and there has been no result, what do the princes and princes think?"

The country of Goguryeo has not perished, and there is no such thing as the three expeditions to Goguryeo, although this small country is not honest, but it has not gone too far, so it has been left alone, but last year there was a rebellion in the country, and it has not been quelled, and after more than a year, the king of Goguryeo couldn't solve this problem, so he found his boss to help!

"Father, I remember that this Goguryeo was detained three years ago, and he was beaten back by Cheng Guogong!"

"Well, yes, but that was before, and the King of Goguryeo personally came to Chang'an to apologize!"

"Father, what's so difficult about this question? Since it is a vassal state, directly send troops to help Goguryeo put down the rebellion! ”

“……”

At this time, Di Renjie touched his beard: "You princes don't know, the problem of Goguryeo is that if you send troops to help Goguryeo quell the rebellion, after Goguryeo is stable, there will be some conflicts with our army at the border pass from time to time, and some other vassal states around it......

To put it bluntly, it's this Goguryeo, it's honest because I'm scared of being beaten by the Yutang Empire, but this guy is fine, he will still come to tease twice, and then be honest, but yes, this guy can't beat the Yutang Empire, be a good baby here, and I like to bully other vassal states of the Yutang Empire, and there are often some small countries to sue, which makes the emperor a little impatient!

"And what if it doesn't help?"

"As a suzerain, if you don't help the vassal state deal with civil strife, other countries may have different intentions, and the current king of Goguryeo ......"

The question is raised, and it depends on how Yu Zhiqian and the rest of the princes answer this question.

The third child was the most excited: "Father, the son of the minister thinks, let the son of the minister lead the army, enter Goguryeo, and solve the Goguryeo rebels!" The problem is solved! ”

“……”

Everyone knows that the third prince wants to be a military general, if it is really so simple, he still needs to discuss it for so long?

Yu Ye didn't speak, the eighth child was secretly eating meat skewers, no one cared about him, he was too young, this kind of school exam, he would answer if he wanted to, if he didn't want to answer, he would be a mascot, the seven brothers of the gourd baby must be together, no, it seems that there is one less ......

"Father, the son-in-law thinks that it may be inappropriate for us to send troops directly to Goguryeo, but we can let the border army assist the Goguryeo army to eliminate the rebels......"

"Erchen thinks that if Goguryeo is willing to provide grain and grass, he can send troops to Goguryeo, which is just right to mobilize some new troops and maintain combat effectiveness......"

“……”

After the princes finished speaking, the emperor just touched his beard and did not continue to speak, and finally everyone's eyes looked at Yu Zhiqian.

I saw Yu Zhiqian holding a meat skewer in one hand and one hand behind his back, when he found that everyone's eyes were looking at him, he wiped his mouth unhurriedly and thought for a while: "Father, the son thinks that if the person who raised the problem is solved, there will be no problem!" ”

“……”

“……”

“……”

"Rebel!"

The emperor was choked by Yu Zhiqian's words, but Di Renjie's eyes lit up, touched his beard, nodded, looked at Li Yuanfang beside him and asked in a low voice: "Yuanfang, what do you think of the prince's words!" ”

“……”

Seeing that the emperor seemed to be ready to be Yu Zhiqian, Di Renjie smiled and arched his hand at the emperor: "Your Majesty, I am very lucky!" ”

The emperor was originally angry with Yu Zhiqian, but after hearing Di Renjie's words, he looked over with some puzzlement: "What does Di Xiang mean?" ”

"Your Majesty may not know that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince means that since the gains and losses of helping Goguryeo to quell the rebellion outweigh the losses, and if you don't help and you don't fulfill the obligations of the suzerain, it's better to directly let Goguryeo disappear completely, and this problem will be solved?"

“……”

The civil officials looked at Di Renjie curiously, not knowing how Di Xiang suddenly became a war maniac, and the generals were all gearing up, one of the ancestral systems of the Yutang Empire was that if it was not a military merit, it could not be a marquis!

"Your Majesty, no, the three armies have not moved, the grain and grass go first, although there has been no war in our dynasty for many years, but the border conflict has been constantly ,......"

Hubu Shangshu said for a long time, and finally it can be summed up in a few words, I, Hubu, no money!

"Fighting a war costs money, and it can make money!"

After Yu Zhiqian finished speaking, he spread his hands helplessly, who said that the war cost money, maybe it was said that Yu Zhiqian's war in that era burned money, and the pension for aircraft, artillery, artillery and shells was a huge amount of money, but in this era, the cost of fighting a war is much lower!

"I wonder what the prince thinks?"

"Although Goguryeo is not a big country, if I remember correctly, but their country is not poor, and the people of their country are not poor, so it is not enough to feed the war with war!"

"Prince, this is not benevolent, the ancients said, if you are warlike, you will die!"

"Then there is the next sentence, forgetting the war will be dangerous! The early stage of military spending will be spent on the household department, and when Goguryeo is destroyed, the money and grain in the Goguryeo treasury will be replenished back to the household department! ”

Hearing Yu Zhiqian's words, the secretary of the military department immediately wanted to stand up, but Yu Zhiqian waved his hand: "The military department also has money, I remember that my father is still building a palace, right, the captured soldiers can be sold to the construction site, and we can also save us from requisitioning farmers, as well as the armor and blades of Goguryeo soldiers, these things will outweigh the losses, but they can be made into farm tools, kitchen knives, etc......

"This is not counting the fact that Goguryeo is rich in ginseng, mink and other things, how do you look at this battle and not lose money, I don't know what you think?"

Yu Zhiqian sorted out his views a little.

"This ......"

"However, there is also a cost for these things to be transported back, and these costs are ......."

"You can contract out, if there are merchants who go to Liaodong and Goguryeo, find them cheaper and sell them to them, and they will ship them back, there is a profit, this group of people can do everything......"
