Chapter 2054: Turning the Imperial Palace into a Restaurant
Fa Zheng led a large army to Rongcheng.
He was still on the way, and a team of people came to Chengdu.
The team that came to Chengdu was Cao Shuo, Lu Xun, Jiang Wei and others.
Cao Shuo asked Pang Tong to return to Luoyang with Guan Yu and others, and he went to Chengdu accompanied by Lu Xun and Jiang Wei.
The people of Chengdu don't recognize Cao Shuo, but they know Jiang Wei.
Seeing Jiang Wei enter the city, the people were a little flustered.
can see that the team is holding the banner of the Wei army, and they are a little dazed.
"When the King of Wei came, he still didn't salute?" From the frightened looks of the people, Jiang Wei could see what they were afraid of, and shouted loudly.
His shout was undoubtedly to tell the people in the city that he had taken refuge in Cao Shuo.
Hearing that it was the King of Wei, the people knelt on the ground one after another.
Cao Shuo asked: "Liu Bei was here before, and it was also such a scene?" ”
"Not really." Jiang Wei replied: "It's only occasionally like this. ”
"Under my rule, the people do not need to bow down." Cao Shuo said, "Let them all get up." ”
Jiang Wei shouted again: "King Wei said that under his rule, the people don't need to kneel and worship, get up!" ”
Although he shouted so, who would dare to rise up among the people who knelt down?
Cao Shuo stopped his horse and looked at the people kneeling on both sides of the road: "Get up, you will never need to kneel unless you commit a crime under my rule." The soldiers and civilians under my rule should be hard bones, and they will never bow to anyone. Even if I walk by, you don't need to bow down! ”
"Get all up!" Cao Shuo finally raised his voice.
Only then did the people stand up tremblingly.
Fa Zheng set out on an expedition, leaving only a few hundred soldiers to guard Chengdu.
When they entered the city, Cao Shuo and the others were greeted by only a school captain.
On the way to the Shu Han Palace, the captain walked beside Cao Shuo.
"When Zhuge Liang left, he moved Chengdu very cleanly." Cao Shuo asked, "He didn't keep a few Yizhou officials?" ”
"There are a lot of them, and they are all inconsequential." The lieutenant replied: "When the Fa Gong entered the city, these people had already taken the oath of service. The lord doesn't have to spend time on them. ”
"I'm really tired from walking through Mt. Yonekura." Cao Shuo nodded: "Talk to these people, let them be officials and how they should be officials." My principle of employing people is four sentences, the greedy kill, the mediocre withdraw, the lazy chase, and the capable! Let them think for themselves, and I won't say much else. ”
"I will convey the words of the lord to them." The lieutenant answered.
"You go first." Cao Shuo waved his hand: "Just leave someone to show us the way." ”
Before the captain retired, a soldier was arranged to lead the way for Cao Shuo and others.
Chengdu originally did not have a palace, but after Liu Bei came, he repaired Liu Zhang's official residence and used it as his palace.
Liu Bei cares about fame, and he also knows how to restrain his greed, he is not like Yuan Shu back then to build a palace.
Although the palace is not small, it is not luxurious.
Walking into the front yard of the palace, Cao Shuo looked left and right, and said to Jiang Wei, who was following on the side: "Liu Bei is also a good emperor, he is in Yizhou, and he doesn't seem to have scavenged the people's fat and people's cream." ”
"There was no looting, but it didn't give the people ten years of tax exemption like the lord." Jiang Wei replied: "Compared to the lord, it is still inferior." ”
Cao Shuo smiled and patted his arm gently: "If I were someone else, would Bo Yue say the same?" ”
Jiang Wei was stunned for a moment, and when he laughed, the expression on his face was somewhat embarrassed.
Replace Cao Shuo with someone else, he will indeed say so.
No one is stupid enough to praise the former lord and say that the current lord is not as good as the man in the past.
Although the official in Shu Han is not very big, Jiang Wei still knows some ways to be an official.
"Is Beyo familiar with this place?" Walking everyone to the backyard of the palace, Cao Shuo asked Jiang Wei.
"I can't say how familiar it is, but it's okay." Jiang Wei replied: "The Shu Han Palace is not very big, and the roads in the outer and inner courtyards are also very simple. There are no intricate paths, and you can walk to the dormitory. ”
"It would be nice if the steward of Lingyun Pavilion was here." Cao Shuo said: "If he is here, I can ask him to change this place into Lingyun Pavilion." It is used to entertain guests, and I don't know how much profit can be earned in a year. ”
"The lord doesn't plan to stay as a private house?" Jiang Wei asked in surprise.
"Why stay?" Cao Shuo said: "The former Shu Han Palace is open to the people. People who yearn for the palace, who doesn't want to come here for a walk? Not to mention anything else, just the daily income door fee, which is also a lot of income. ”
When Cao Shuo came to the Shu Han Palace, what he thought of was not to use this place, but to use it to make profits.
The days of following him were not over, and Lu Xun, Jiang Wei and the others were all stunned.
They haven't figured out too much, in Cao Shuo's eyes, what is the most important.
If you become an emperor in the future, you can't guarantee that you won't come to Yizhou again.
When I got here, I didn't even have a palace, so could it be that the emperor lived in the official mansion?
Cao Shuo didn't notice what Lu Xun and Jiang Wei were muttering in their hearts.
Walking in the Shu Han Palace, his mind was full of the need to get the steward of Lingyun Pavilion here, and let him see how to change the palace into the largest Lingyun Pavilion in Yizhou.
During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Kingdom of Ba and Shu flourished in the Yizhou area.
Due to the difficulty of the road, there is relatively little connection with the Central Plains, and the dishes are also self-proclaimed.
Although there are no peppers yet, there are peppercorns in Bashu.
Therefore, the dishes of Bashu already have a spicy seasoning, and the taste is better than that of the Central Plains.
With some understanding of history, Cao Shuo knows that Sichuan cuisine, which really has a complete system, was formed in the late Qing Dynasty in later generations, and was gradually carried forward by the end of the Qing Dynasty.
Until the era in which he once lived, Sichuan cuisine had become a cuisine with adherents everywhere.
Lingyun Pavilion started with dishes, if it was opened in Yizhou and used cooking skills to draw local materials, it is likely to be one or two thousand years earlier than later generations, forming a complete Sichuan cuisine.
Thinking of this, Cao Shuo subconsciously swallowed his saliva.
It has been many years since he came to this era, and he has also sent people around to collect chili peppers.
He has been trading with the Western Regions for many years, and cotton has been imported to the Central Plains by him from India and other places.
Nowadays, many places in the Central Plains have reduced ramie cultivation and changed to cotton.
However, the most important condiment in the dish, chili, has not been found by the people he sent out to this day.
If you can't find a chili pepper, you can't introduce it to the Central Plains, and no matter how delicious the dish is, it will make people feel that something is missing.
Cao Shuo was full of plans to open Lingyun Pavilion in Yizhou, and he didn't notice that the people behind him were at a loss.
People who do not know the afterlife as well as he do, of course, cannot understand what he is thinking at this time.
Cao Shuo didn't say anything, and everyone didn't dare to ask more, just silently followed behind. 2k reading web
