Chapter 489: A bowl of brown sugar water

Although he is a traverser, although he is a minister, although he is now a monarch and a minister with the emperor. However, no matter how much Guan Da Sima has his own concept of equality for all travelers, he still doesn't dare to live in this Luoyang Palace - isn't it just to find a place to work and sleep? Where not? Why do you have to go to the palace?

Of course, in the remaining large courtyards in Luoyang City, there are some places where you can't live: many princes' mansions are definitely not allowed - Da Sima, are you implying that Your Majesty will give you the title of king?

The rest of the ministers' families are not very good at blowing people out and living in them themselves - do you still talk about unity?

The only ones left are the courtyard of Cao Shuang, the former general of Cao Wei, and the courtyard of Jia Chong Jiache, who had just died of his family, and this one can't be considered - the omen is not good.

However, ordinary courtyards cannot be considered: in the short period of time in the future, this is the center of power in the whole country, and there are nearly 1,000 staff members up and down the Dasima Mansion, as well as people from other yamen who come to do business. How is the office method of an ordinary one-two courtyard?

For this matter, Shi Qiao, who has resumed his real name and is still in charge of Guan Yi's daily arrangements, is in a hurry. As a result, after the two brothers of the Shi family contacted each other again in Luoyang Kaicheng, Shi Qiao told Shi Chong about it, and Shi Chong laughed: "Second brother, our father used to be so greedy and built so many villas outside Luoyang City, and it will be over if you give one set to Da Sima." ”

Of course, due to the traverser, Mr. Shi Chong did not have time to go to Jingzhou to become a magistrate, and then pretended to be a bandit to intercept and kill passing merchants in the post of magistrate, so there was no chance of digging the first pot of gold. So at this time, there was no famous Jingu Garden in later generations. However, with the family background accumulated by Shi Bao, the villa sent by Shi Qiao's brothers will naturally not be bad. Not to mention that the maidservants of the Shi family have always been famous for giving and taking.

Of course, Guan Da Sima, as the chairman of the Fuxing Society, is definitely not short of money: just give away the villa, make a price, and I will pay for it. If you don't accept it, you can't do it! Well, it is said that your handmaid is very good, and I paid for it at the same time. The price is as you like, I don't buy the right one anyway, only the expensive one!

Since the chairman of the board of directors took the lead, the main generals of Ji Han next asked the officials of the Jin State to surrender to buy real estate outside Luoyang City-the shareholders of the Fuxing Society are not short of money, even if there is no now, where is Lao Tzu's shares, a villa? That's just a few months' dividends.

This kind of behavior, on the one hand, made the uneasy degraders of the Jin State fall to the ground with a big stone in their hearts - these guys of the Han State still do things with moderation and do not despise us as conquerors. On the other hand, he also put away that inexplicable contempt: in the past, the Yongliang family was despised by the Central Plains family, not to mention the turtles in Yizhou.

So, Da Sima moved to Zize, which is seven miles northeast of the city.

On this day, Zize was very lively.

In the spacious hall, it was a little crowded because there were so many people coming.

The Han respects the right, so on the right side below the main seat, are the generals of the Han army, such as Simple, Zhao Tong, Zhang Zun, Zhao Yi, Ma Jie, and Wen Yang. On the left, there are Pei Xiu, Du Pre, Wei Guan, Yanghu, Ma Long and other Jin ministers.

In the end, the two sides have been rivals for a long time, so at this time, both groups of people are dressed properly. They all stood up straight, their eyes looking directly at each other. In the July weather, in fact, everyone has long been sweating on the tip of their noses and soaking their clothes.

"Da Sima to ~~"

"I'll welcome Da Sima."

"Hahaha, because it's really not good to bother you to move in Luoyang City, so you have to live here temporarily, and you have to go a long way. It's such a hot weather, hard work, come on, get the chilled cold shrimp that the official has just made. Ji Yangong, Yuan Kaigong...... Don't look at those guys across from you standing up straight now, and when they start eating, they're all hungry ghosts! So, you don't have to be so restrained, oops, it's such a hot weather, all relax, please raise the crown, please raise the crown. Well, the official took the lead, come on, take off the crown of the official's hair, and take off the official uniform. ”

"Hahahaha~~ In this way, the criminals and others have no choice but to follow in the footsteps of Da Sima."

With Guan Yi's gag, the tense atmosphere just now eased a lot. After the maids served the chilled shrimp, the eyes of the attendees widened.

"Brother? What is this? You've got something new? ”

"Well, Jian Wushuang, you taste it first."

"Oh~Huh? Not! Bang ...... Yes! Smooth and refreshing, soft and sweet! Great goodness! One more bowl! ”

"Hehehe, if you feel that you need to add another bowl, please feel free. However, lime and ice water are added to this substance, so it is not advisable to eat too much at one time. Two bowls is about the same. ”

While the maids were changing the bowls for the officials and cleaning the tables. said simply: "Brother, this cold shrimp is made of rice, right?" ”

"Yes, yes. Brother Wei only knew how to get it before, but it took a lot of effort to do it himself last night. In the end, he simply gave up and told the people in the courtyard directly, but they did it quickly. Hey, sure enough, there is a specialization in the art industry. ”

"Very good, the younger brother will let the cook at home learn the art later. But brother, what is the red sugar water in this cold shrimp? My brother thinks this is the key to deliciousness. ”

"It's brown sugar, made from sugar cane. Didn't Kong Shuo send his grandson to lead a fleet to the South Seas two years ago to find Guishan? Although their team encountered a little wind and waves, pirates or something, they finally arrived in Guishan. Then brought back the local sugar cane. Well, the sugarcane of Guishuang is taller and larger than the original cutting hand density of my Han Southwest, with more sugar production and better sweetness. Kong Shuo has ordered widespread planting in Jiaozhou and Nanzhong last year. This, in the future, should be a new source of local revenue. ”

"Good! Fabulous! My brother taught us many years ago in the Fairy Mountain School in Fuling County, saying that sugar is the most direct of the three major sources of nutrition for the human body. If this sugarcane can be planted in large quantities and produce sugar, the physique of our Han people can be improved. ”

"Hehehe, this thing can not only be grown in those hot and humid places in Nanzhong and Jiaozhou. The most suitable place is actually the first line of Jiangyang County. I have already written to the Yizhou Thorn History Mansion and asked them to start a trial planting in Jiangyang County this year......"

"Good, Shi Yamen, the governor of the Liufu Prefecture, immediately started to make a decree urging the people to try planting. Well, the newly reclaimed wasteland used to grow sugar cane is exempt from tax in the first year and half in the second year. If you invest in the construction of a brown sugar factory, the commercial tax will be halved in the first three years? No, isn't the discount too big? ”

"It's okay, it's okay. Well, I've already handed over this brown sugar making technique to Kong Shuo. Otherwise, the sugar cane alone can't be transported to my brother, and it will rot here. After the sugarcane in Jiangyang is ripe, we can make the brown sugar production technology clear to the world, so coupled with your law, there should be many people willing to try to put it into production. ”

Seeing Guan Yi and Jian talking there, Pei Xiu and the others were in mixed moods.

I have heard for a long time that Han officials attach the most importance to practice, and everyone used to laugh when they heard this: Do Han officials pay attention to practice? The old men are not doing the real thing!

But today, this short conversation has really changed their understanding subversively.

A prime minister and an executive vice premier, because of a bowl of brown sugar water, began to discuss people's livelihood issues enthusiastically? For a bowl of so-called cold shrimp, as the most powerful person in this era, he actually cooked and experimented with himself?

Hey, thinking back to the past, this Dajin died unjustly!
