"General, how does it taste!"

A pawn licked the corners of his mouth vigorously, this thing had long been spoiled by the domineering fragrance of salted fish.

The young man guarding the door let out a long breath and said in a strange voice: "This smell, it's really fucking fragrant......"

Suddenly, as if he remembered something, he suddenly reached into his bosom and took out the money bag, threw it to a small soldier and yelled: "Hurry up, wrap all those salted fish for me, this thing is fragrant and salty, but it is much more affordable than buying salt." ”

Unfortunately, before he finished speaking, he suddenly heard the sound of footsteps all around him, but when he saw the people watching him, he ran to the corner and shouted to ask the homeless man to buy salted fish.

Business, all of a sudden, became popular.

A smile appeared on the young gatekeeper's face, and he casually threw the salted fish to his soldiers.

He looked outside Chang'an City, vaguely staring at the direction of Weishui, and suddenly said with a low tone and a smile: "Cheng Chumo, you are a dog, if you don't have three pig elbows, I will kill you." Grandma's, this fish is so fucking salty, but it's also fucking fragrant......"

……

On this day, the city is full of salted fish.

A whole thousand homeless people, turned into a thousand small merchants walking the streets and alleys, they carried small stoves, they carried small pockets, starting from the city gate, and then continued to extend to the center of the city, not occupying the bustling places, only looking for the corner of the street, a salted fish fried into the pot, attracting Chang'an ten thousand people.

The domineering aroma finally reached the palace.

No one would have thought that on the top floor of the highest Taiji Hall in the palace, the Tang Emperor Li Shimin did not go to the early dynasty today, but took a group of courtiers to look at Chang'an.

When the aroma permeated the city, Li Shimin suddenly snorted, turned his head and smiled at everyone: "No wonder that kid wants to make salted fish, this taste is a little unbearable even for me, ordinary Li Min's house, finally has another delicacy." ”

Fang Xuanling walked out of the crowd and said with a smile: "The most important thing is that the price is not expensive, a salted fish only costs ten cents, the rich and noble can be used as a dispenser, and the poor can be used as salt, so this is not a small industry, this is a big industry for the benefit of all people." ”

The eldest grandson Wuji also walked out, and said with emotion: "Thousands of homeless people outside the city are fishing, and more than 10,000 homeless people are responsible for pickling, selling cheaply, and making money to buy grain. ”

Speaking of this, he was even more emotional, and suddenly said with a wry smile: "The tide of displaced people that has plagued the court for several months, I am afraid that I will no longer need to wait for ministers to have headaches and difficulties in the future, hey, salted fish, what a salted fish......

Li Shimin laughed, and slammed his big hand forward, as if he wanted to hold the entire Chang'an City in his arms, and said arrogantly: "The displaced people of all dynasties have suffered, but I don't panic in the Tang Dynasty." The world's biggest eating and drinking, the city is full of salted fish! ”

This poem is very ordinary, and it can be said that it has no charm, but the ministers present all nodded together, and said with a relieved face: "This salted fish is so fragrant, one incense can solve the food, drink and Lazar of tens of thousands of displaced people." ”

All the ministers were rejoicing, and suddenly heard the sound of footsteps behind them, everyone turned their heads to look together, but saw the eldest grandson queen walking up the stairs, and said from a distance: "Your Majesty, the concubine asked the Internal Affairs Office to buy fifty baskets of salted fish, and each basket was pasted with a royal brocade post, please give it to the courtiers in the court......"

The royal family sends salted fish to the minister?

These words made everyone stunned.

Empress Eldest Sun said again: "The concubine does this, but also wants everyone to taste what is called the salted fish fragrance, after eating, you are qualified to evaluate, the concubine sees that you only care about discussing here, let me ask who has really tasted what salted fish tastes?" I haven't eaten it, how can I have a real evaluation, right? ”

Li Shimin laughed again, nodded again and again, and said: "Guanyin has done a good job, these fifty baskets of salted fish should be ......."

Suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly changed his words and said: "It can't be regarded as a reward, it should be counted as a purchase, the queen's internal affairs office has always been tight, and you must give money for this fifty baskets of salted fish." ”

Fang Xuanling was the first to surrender his hand, and said solemnly: "The old minister subscribed for a basket, and thanked the queen for purchasing it first." ”

The others also hurriedly expressed their attitudes, and in a blink of an eye, fifty baskets of salted fish were sold out.

At this time, Empress Changsun walked to Li Shimin's side, and suddenly said worriedly: "The concubine is only worried about one thing now, I am afraid that the big fish in the river will not be enough to catch, those two children want to do great things, but don't work for a few days and suddenly find that there are no fish......"

Li Shimin was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously looked at the ministers present.

The eldest grandson Wuji hurriedly stood up and explained with a smile: "Your Majesty, don't worry, Niangniang doesn't need to worry, Chang'an is surrounded by rivers, and the fishing can be guaranteed for several years without decreasing. ”

The queen still frowned, and said softly: "You can only keep fishing for a few years, and after a few years, won't there be no salted fish?" ”

Li Shimin laughed and said, "Guanyin, are you stupid?" How many rivers in Datang are thousands? You can't catch around Chang'an, can't you catch it in other places? This salted fish industry can continue to be carried out, and children and grandchildren can continue to do it, where there is water, there are fish, and there is no such thing as killing chickens and taking eggs......"

The queen was stunned for a moment, and then she was relieved.

……

In Chang'an on this day, there was talk of salted fish everywhere.

There is no other reason, it is really that the fragrance of salted fish is too domineering, thousands of homeless people fry salted fish in the city, even if they hide in the courtyard of the deep house, they can smell the fragrance of fish.

As long as everything is loud, it will inevitably arouse the awareness of those who have a heart.

But it is said that on the side of Zhuque Street in Chang'an, there is a mansion that stretches for hundreds of acres, with a blue mansion door, inlaid with copper nails, and the courtyard is deep, revealing a natural nobility.

This is the Taiyuan Wang's family, the home of Zhong Ming Ding Food.

Today happened to be the day when the various branches of the Wang clan gathered to discuss how to refuse the emperor's desire to grant land to the displaced people. Originally, this matter could not be compromised, the key was that the emperor wanted the family to take out a part of the land.

Taking away people's money, such as killing parents, the family is a huge and incomparable aggregate of interests, even if the emperor wants to stretch out his hand, it is not okay to refuse, and he dares to flip the table if he is in a hurry.

Just when the elders of the Wang clan were talking, they suddenly heard a rush of footsteps outside the door, and the elders of the clan were slightly stunned, and then felt angry in their hearts.

The rules of the family are big, and they can't be broken, you must know that this is the place where the Wang family is meeting, which damn reckless person dares to break through?

When he saw the visitor, his anger suddenly dispelled again.

Because he is also a clan elder, but he usually does not participate in the deliberations, this clan elder is Wang Xun, who has always been in charge of the Taiyuan Wang family's warehouse business.

Since it was the clan elders who broke in, it was not considered to break the rules, all the clan elders all laughed, and someone quipped: "Fourth, why are you free to return to the clan today?" I received a pair of Jiashan posts for my brother a few days ago, so why don't you go and sit in my courtyard after the discussion......"

It's a pity that Wang Xun ignored him completely, but stared at Wang Jue, the patriarch of the Wang family, with an anxious face, and said hurriedly: "Big brother, something is wrong." ”

Everyone was stunned, and Wang Jue, who was sitting at the top, said lightly: "The ancient teachings of the sage, you have listened to it since you were a child, Mount Tai collapsed, and your face did not change, you look at your current appearance, where is there still a trace of the old calmness of the Wang clan, what is a big event, how can I Taiyuan Wang have been afraid of big things, even if it is a change of dynasty, my Wang family has also experienced many times, sit down and speak, and say slowly......"

It's a pity that Wang Xun didn't sit down, but said again: "Big brother, everyone, have you ever smelled a fragrance, rich and gluttonous!" ”

Everyone was stunned again, and Wang Qi frowned slightly and said, "What are you going to say?" ”

Wang Xun took a deep breath, tried to keep his body from shivering, and said, "This is the fragrance of fish, the fragrance of salted fish." ”

"Fishy?"

"The smell of salted fish?"

Patriarch Wang Qi slowly raised his head and thought a little: "The old man remembered it, it seems that the junior of the Cheng family wants to get this thing, and it is said that he worshipped a homeless person as a teacher, and clamored to use salted fish to raise homeless people......"

Speaking of this, he glanced at Wang Xun and said with a smile: "I heard that they bought the stone salt mountain from you, it seems that they want to use stone salt to pickle salted fish. ”

Wang Xun took a deep breath again, and said with a pale face: "It's really done, that's why something big happened!" ”

These words made everyone curious, and some people guessed with a smile: "Could it be that you have eaten dead people, so you are panicked, hehehe, there is no need to worry about this matter, that Shiyan Mountain is bought by the Cheng family themselves, even if it is pickled salted fish and eaten dead people, it has nothing to do with the Wang family." ”

Wang Xun's face was difficult, only to feel that his throat was blocked like a lead sinker, this old thing tried to suppress his panic, but he couldn't help but tremble when he spoke, and said stiffly: "That salted fish, didn't eat dead people, that stone salt, no poison......"

As soon as these words came out, everyone didn't react at first glance, and when they wanted to laugh twice, suddenly everyone's faces changed.

Stone salt, not poisonous?
