Xiao Ruxun is a military general.

After becoming the emperor, he did not forget to practice martial arts and fitness, and now he also takes time out to practice martial arts every day, which consumes a lot and naturally eats a lot.

But no matter how big it is, it is impossible to eat a meal made of sixteen taels of silver in a day, can the meat be eaten for hundreds of catties and hundreds of catties? Is that still human?

That's almost a few years' rations for ordinary people's families.

Xiao Ruxun, who was rumored to eat a few hundred taels of silver in one meal, felt that it was not a person, and according to Zhu Yuanzhang's practice at that time, he should have been peeled and cramped and filled with grass to light the sky lantern.

However, he couldn't control it so widely, so he set an example to drive the atmosphere of the world, and every month he personally attended the financial audit meeting to count a lot of surplus silver taels, which can be used to make the next month's expenses.

Over time, this behavior can form a virtuous circle, saving a lot of money to subsidize the state.

Although the number of royal families increased in the future, it seemed inevitable that the number of palace people would increase, but after all, it was economical.

At present, although there is a lot of money in Daqin, the silver collected from the gentry in Jiangnan is far from being spent, but each of the several national policies set by Xiao Ruxun requires a lot of silver investment, not to mention anything else, Ma Zheng is one, the cavalry expansion is also one, the Dachi Road plan is also one, and the education reform is also.

Money is never enough to spend.

Therefore, the work of the Audit Department has been more and more recognized by Xiao Ruxun, and unnecessary expenses will be saved as much as possible, and the country and the people will benefit at that time, as well as Xiao Ruxun himself.

Siu Ruxun repeatedly praised the work of the Audit Department and rewarded the officials of the Audit Department with a lot of silver coins and silk satin.

Only when they feel that they have no food and clothing can they maximize their loyalty, and the emperor is not a hungry soldier, is he?

The meal at noon today was very rich, and there should be everything, Xiao Ruxun took Zhenbang's hand, took him to the side room, and ate with him.

Xiao Ruxun likes white rice, and he eats a lot of food, he has to eat three bowls of white rice and a lot of meat every lunch, most of this table is eaten by him, Zhenbang only eats a small half of it, but in the end, this table will definitely eat all the food.

He doesn't have those so-called rules, what kind of dish can only be eaten three bites, and the rest will be withdrawn, so what is it?

You have to eat with the help of the eunuchs around you, and you can't do it yourself, so what is it?

If you have leftovers after eating, and you don't eat at all, what is it?

How many people in the world don't have enough to eat now?

There are only a few people who can eat enough, and even only the people of the three southeastern provinces and the northern Zhili can live a life of eating three meals a day, and most of them eat potatoes and corn.

Xiao Ruxun sent people out of the palace to teach how to grind corn into cornmeal to make corn steamed corn tortillas, as well as various ways to eat potatoes such as steaming, roasting, and stir-frying, and implement them in various places as soon as possible, trying to let the people eat a little more tricks.

The people are so poor, how can he give up a grain of rice left in the face of this sumptuous meal on the table?

Li Sheng waited on the sidelines, adding food to the emperor, wiping his mouth for the prince, and serving the two most noble father and son in the world with all his heart.

As a middle- and low-level small cadre in the former Ming Palace, he participated in the work of delivering food to the emperor and serving the emperor's meal, and saw with his own eyes how the former Ming Emperor and other nobles ate, and what they ate, and then compared with the current Emperor of Great Qin, how can it be compared?

He couldn't help but think of the sighs of some old people in the palace - no wonder Daqin can win the world.

The last piece of pork was eaten by Xiao Ruxun, and the last grain of rice was also eaten, and Xiao Ruxun wiped his mouth with satisfaction.

He is not a picky eater, and there are few things that he doesn't like to eat, but he can't accept fatty meat, so he orders the purchasers to sell only lean pork, the kind that can't be seen at all, and this kind of pork can be eaten by him in one meal.

Of course, sometimes when he was hungry, he would also tell Li Sheng to ask someone to buy some fat and fat, put it in the pot to refine the oil, and the lard was left to cook, and the remaining oil residue was sent to him, plus a small dish of salt, fragrant and crispy, a very good snack.

The imperial chefs in the imperial dining room said that there is still this use of fatty meat, which is really a long experience.

They didn't know why the emperor wanted to eat this thing, but when they took a piece to eat it in private, they found that it was indeed very delicious, fragrant and crispy.

Later, Xiao Ruxun ordered to reward several ministers with some lard residue to eat as snacks, Wang Xijue and others ate some, and felt that it was indeed fragrant and crispy and very delicious, but the emperor said that he couldn't eat more, so he ate a little when he was hungry or had no taste in his mouth, so they didn't eat much.

But this gadget caught the eyes of many other officials, who felt that this was another way for the emperor to show concern for his courtiers, further confirming that Wang Li's papier-mâché cabinet could not be poured now.

Xiao Ruxun was full of food in the side room, put down the dishes and chopsticks, Li Sheng immediately handed over the wet towel, Xiao Ruxun wiped his mouth, sat for a while, got up and walked a few steps, at this time Zhenbang also finished eating, put down the dishes and chopsticks to wipe his mouth, and then asked Li Sheng to eat sweet melons.

"Prince, wait a minute, you have to rest after dinner before you can eat melons."

Li Sheng persuaded Zhenbang with a bitter face, Xiao Ruxun turned his head to look at Zhenbang, his eyes shifted to his bowl, and his face suddenly darkened.

"Zhenbang."

Xiao Ruxun sat down again: "Why don't you eat the rice in the bowl?" ”

As soon as Zhenbang saw Xiao Ruxun's face darkened, he immediately knew where he was wrong, and quickly picked up the rice bowl and ate every grain of rice, and then put down the bowl, sitting obediently and not daring to stand up.

"Recite "Compassion for Nong" again."

Xiao Ruxun said.

Since Zhenbang was literate and read poetry, Xiao Ruxun personally taught Zhenbang this poem "Compassion for Nong".

"On the afternoon of hoeing day, sweat drops into the soil, who knows that the Chinese food on the plate is hard work."

Zhenbang is very skillful in his back.

"I'm very proficient in memorization, why can't I remember? Who knows that the Chinese food on the plate, every grain of rice is hard work, every grain of white rice is hard to get by the people, it is not easy to come by, how many people in the world can't even eat, for the father to do this every day, just so that everyone in the world can eat enough, and you waste food? ”

Xiao Ruxun's tone was not heavy, but Zhenbang was very afraid, once before he didn't eat cleanly, Xiao Ruxun reprimanded him, let him eat clean, and then taught him the poem "Compassion for Nong".

Zhenbang is still young, and he doesn't understand very deeply.

Therefore, Xiao Ruxun has to use various educational methods to make him remember.

"Write "Compassion for Nong" 20 times, the handwriting is not allowed to be scribbled, forgive you once for your father before, this is the second time, if there is a next time, Zhenbang, you will wait to be hungry! Li Sheng, staring at the prince! ”

Xiao Ruxun's eyes widened, and Zhenbang lowered his head and didn't dare to speak, Li Sheng immediately received the order: "The old slave obeys the order." ”

After that, Xiao Ruxun got up and walked out of the side room, and Zhenbang had to obediently follow Li Sheng to write "Compassion for Nong".

Xiao Ruxun walked out of the side room, walked a few steps, relieved his mood, and saw at a glance that several important ministers in the other side room were still eating.

There are many things today, so I left a few important ministers to eat, and also rewarded Wang Li and the two elders of the pavilion who stayed in the palace for lunch, as well as Ye Xianggao, the secretary of the Ministry of Finance, and Han Zheng, the new secretary of the Ministry of War, who gave them a plate of lard residue snacks and invited them to eat, and also rewarded one person with three watermelons grown in the greenhouse to relieve their greasy, and treated the courtiers very favorably.

The ministers didn't think that the emperor's attitude towards them was bad, in fact, the emperor's attitude towards them was relatively good.

Although waves of purges are terrifying, but when he didn't purge himself and didn't die, the emperor had nothing to say to his courtiers, and it was much better than the emperor who didn't even give him a meal than the emperor who didn't even eat a meal in the former Ming Dynasty.

They don't dare to ask for anything either.

At least when Xiao Ruxun was alive, they didn't dare to ask for anything.

Xiao Ruxun walked into the side room, Han Yan saw Xiao Ruxun with sharp eyes, and immediately put down his job and stood up.

"See Your Majesty."

When the other three heard this, they immediately stood up and looked at Xiao Ruxun.

"See Your Majesty!"

Xiao Ruxun smiled and waved his hand, looking at Wang Xijue's bulging mouth obviously had something unfinished, so he said: "Sit down and continue to eat, it is important to eat, Wang Ge Lao should not be in a hurry, this posture is to spit out the food in his mouth to learn Zhou Gong?" ”

Xiao Ruxun also joked about Wang Xijue, Wang Xijue's old face turned red, and he hurriedly accelerated the speed of chewing, while the other three smiled, watching the emperor find a chair to sit down, they also sat down, picked up the dishes and chopsticks and continued to eat, but they were a little restrained.
