Liangzhou City, Su Province.

That's right, the former Changle County Royal Mansion was directly given to Su Lie by Li Kuan. including the four storehouses and two outer houses. just asked for a small yard for himself in the back house, and a few maids took the initiative to wait for him.

Not to mention Su Lie, a poor ghost, even Cheng Yanjin and Niu Jinda, who arrived later, were taken aback by this move. However, thinking about Li Kuan's ability, he still suggested that Su Lie should not refuse. This is Li Kuan's use of this means to show his authority to the others in Liangzhou City, and also to let everyone know his attitude towards Su Lie.

More than half a month has passed, and Su Lie feels a little unreal.

It was another five or six consecutive days of heavy snowfall, and the entire city of Liangzhou was shrouded in cold winds and snowflakes. There are almost no living creatures on the street, and the occasional few soldiers patrolling the street are also a glimpse.

However, black smoke can be seen everywhere in Liangzhou City, but it is completely different from previous years. Along with this black smoke, loud voices can be heard in many parts of the city. These people neighed and screamed, making Liangzhou City in the heavy snow look full of vitality.

Although Xue Dacheng was like this, he met a wicked guest who came to the door early in the morning to rub wine and dinner, which made Su Lie cry and laugh very much.

can still insist on rubbing rice in this climate, except for Cheng and Niu, two old friends, there is no one else. Now Zuo Wuwei's army is stationed five miles outside the city, which is convenient for them to communicate with each other.

There is a high chimney charcoal stove in each of the four corners of the hall, which bakes the whole hall like spring. As soon as Cheng and Niu entered the hall, they were busy taking off their leather clothes, and they also beckoned their entourage to quickly take off their coats and drink some hot soup to warm up.

As soon as Su Lie reported back from Li Kuan's back house, he instructed the back kitchen to quickly clean up the wine and food.

"Stir-fry a few more pots of that bean sprouts, and that mapo tofu, put more spicy! The snow is coming all the time, but you have to get rid of the cold! ”

can be so confident, only Cheng Biting Jin. After all, Niu Jinda is a scholarly disciple, and he still talks about etiquette to some extent.

Su Lie said depressedly: "His Royal Highness gave a total of ten catties of chili peppers, leaving seeds, and only half a bowl can be eaten." Where can you hold up after eating at both ends for three days!? There really isn't any. ”

"Old Su! It's sad to say this, it's hard for me to match you with Lao Niu, why is this a big official, but it's more and more picky? No conscience! ”

Su Lie smiled angrily: "If you want to eat my old Su's meat, I will also cut it for you!" But this pepper is really gone, you can't even eat the seeds, right? That's the treasure that His Highness brought from the Medicine King. Next year, Liangzhou is still counting on it to live a few more lives! ”

Niu Jinda persuaded: "Don't listen to Lao Cheng Huqin! There is wine, meat, tofu, heavy snow and this charcoal stove, these are the days of the gods. What more chili peppers? ”

Su Lie said in a timely manner: "That's right, the prince gave me a bottle of good wine yesterday." It's very cold, try it today......"

"What about Your Highness?"

"I am still training that pair of big eagles, obedient, flying inconspicuously in the sky, this can scare people to death when they see it in person. That guy, his wings are fanned out, and he has to be two feet apart! This has to be trained, not to mention sending letters and sending messages, it's not impossible to kill the generals in the battle! ”

Niu Jinda rubbed his hands: "This is the true god!" My old cow has never believed in the Buddha and disrespected ghosts and gods all his life, but for our lord, I am convinced from the bottom of my heart! What kind of Taoist sect and Buddhism, what else can they do besides coaxing people with money? In disaster years, there is no hunger, and there is no sword in war. As long as people are dedicated to goodness, in this world, you don't have a knife in your hand, where is there a way for good people to live!? If there are more true gods like His Highness in the world, the people of the world will really be saved. ”

Cheng Biting Jin's eyebrows fluttered: "The soybeans of Longyou Zhudao have always been of the highest quality, but unfortunately there are too many and can only be used to feed livestock." Well, now there is a method passed on by His Highness. Bean sprouts can grow on the hot kang, and you can eat fresh vegetables in the cold days, do you dare to think about it in the past? I'm afraid that the emperor won't have a few bites! ”

Su Lie also admired: "If you really want to say that you can make the people of the north, you have to count the method of oil extraction." Stir-fried soybeans, the oil squeezed out can not only light the lamp, but also stir-fry the vegetables! The bean dregs are used to feed the animals, and they are a few points better than soybeans! For this alone, those soybeans in the treasury of Liangzhou Mansion can be exchanged for three times as much grain! ”

The waiter brings food and drinks. The side hall soon resounded with the laughter of the guards grabbing food, and the three of them looked at each other and smiled, full of emotion.

Count how many things Li Kuan has done in less than a month since he arrived in Liangzhou? Soybeans are pressed for oil, bean sprouts are grown, tofu is made, and high chimney charcoal stoves are used for heating, providing various ways for the people to exchange for food and clothing. Compared with these countless methods of directly living people, the exploits of killing Li Youliang can simply be ignored.

And what moved the three army generals the most was Li Kuan's tools such as sleds and skis made by the craftsmen in the army at will. With these tools, it's easier and faster than usual to travel on a snowy day! This is comparable to the great achievement of expanding the territory!

was laughing, Li Kuan carried a box into the hall, and the three of them hurriedly got up and saluted.

Li Kuan waved his hand very casually: "Sit, sit, sit!" It's all your own people, where are there so many courtesies? Here's a little moisturizer I made...... Well, try it around, it seems that horse fat is the best, and the recipe is also in it. When it's cold, apply a layer on your face and hands, which is a little stronger than tallow. By the way, have the gloves been sent down? ”

Niu Jinda hurriedly reported: "According to His Highness's method, I made a batch of them first, and now they are all used in turns when going out." The whole army will be distributed, and it will take half a month to get out. ”

Li Kuan nodded: "Then don't rush too much." There are also salt mines, carbon mines, and iron mines, which are open to snow, and if it is too cold, stop for a while. ”

Cheng Biting Jin said: "Your Highness rest assured! Those rabbit cubs are so good that they have already put up the snow shed. There are also charcoal stoves, and they are busy making money one by one, where are they afraid of the cold? But I am afraid that Your Highness, you will hand over your life to others, and the money will be earned by others. ”

Ha! Li Kuan smiled: "There is no end to such a thing as making money!" We still have more and better money to be busy, and if we don't give this little money to others, where can we be busy?! ”

Niu Jinda handed over a fire-lacquered sealed box: "Your Highness, this is Your Majesty's will to take the road of military reporting to you." ”

Li Kuan took it very casually, without the respect he should have when he received the order, opened the box and took out the scroll to look at it, and said with a smile: "The ambassador of the Longyou Prefectures is deposed, how big is this official?" ”

The three veterans were all shocked, this is the real super real power! It's just that there may be a little surprise or something to give it to others, but in the eyes of this master, I guess I don't care if I have it or not.

Li Kuan smacked his lips: "This is my father who told me to go back, hehe...... Nice box. By the way, do you have any military reports that you want to pass on? I'll let Da Fei and Xiao Fei go for a run. It's here today! ”

"Lord Wang, do they recognize the way to Chang'an?"

"I didn't recognize it before, but you can find it with this box!"

As for the fact that the golden hairpin and dragon qi are the real source, it is inconvenient to tell them.

The three of them quickly wrote their own military newspapers and family letters, and Li Kuan sealed the military newspaper with a box and put the family letter in another box. When they came to the courtyard, there was a whistle, and the two giant eagles walked out of the room with a whistle.

After a few words of advice and patting the eagle's head, the two eagles grabbed the box and flew into the air in the heavy snow, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Obediently, with these two babies here, what else is there to worry about in this decree and military report?!

Why did Li Kuan rush to send a letter to Chang'an? Because he found that the date of the decree was the day he received that merit. The source of the merit has not yet been pinpointed, and it cannot be ruled out that it is related to this decree. Then it's best to do more experiments, because experiments are the only criterion for testing the truth.

The great court meeting in the Taiji Palace is not over yet, and the great court meeting during the Tang Dynasty often lasts all day. At noon, the palace also gave a working meal to the manager, which was called Langxia Dinner. Originally, this kind of food was made casually by the imperial chef in the palace, so that the ministers could be hungry. It's more of an honor, or a status symbol.

But since the king of Chu appeared outside Chang'an City two months ago, the imperial chefs in the palace suddenly got better. According to several important ministers who did not want to be named, after eating the food under the corridor in the palace, other foods could not be swallowed at all.

Shortly thereafter, several restaurants in Chang'an City quietly launched several new dishes, which quickly became popular in the aristocratic circle with their novel appearance, unique taste and expensive price.

According to several unlucky ghosts who tried to use small means to plot secret methods, after being ruthlessly rectified, it was rumored that the concubines standing behind these restaurants were either His Majesty's concubines or the emperor's concubines.

After two months of repeated gossip by the people in Chang'an, it was finally confirmed that these dishes were taught to the palace kitchen by the Ten Thousand Rainbow Fairies, and then gradually flowed out of the palace. And Wan Xianzi's cooking skills were actually learned from Fairy Chang'e in the Guanghan Palace in a dream!

What a dish eaten by the immortals! It's not a little bit delicious! Today's Langxia food, many people rolled their eyes, which made those important ministers and high-ranking officials who were accustomed to eating imperial kitchen skills despised. This is the palace, it is a big court meeting, and it must be regarded as a temple fair! Are you really full?

Yikes~! Two shrill whistling sounds, through the faint snowflakes, disturbed everyone. Why is there an eagle running to Chang'an in this weather? Don't you want to die? Is there no one to guard the eight-bull crossbow on the imperial city?

Pounce! Two sounds of landing next to each other attracted heavily armed palace guards. But when everyone saw such a huge two-headed eagle, they were so frightened that they didn't dare to lean forward. There are so many things I've experienced today, and I haven't digested them yet, so here again?

Da Fei flicked his neck, and a gold medal clanged and landed at the feet of a guard. Thanks to this buddy's literacy, he hurriedly ran to the palace with a token.

"Your Majesty, this is the brand of His Royal Highness the King of Chu!" The guard was a little distracted: "Those two eagles may have been sent back by His Highness to deliver the letter!" ”

So what are you waiting for? Get the letter back!

The problem is that the eagle doesn't give it, they say that they don't pay attention to anything, and they roll their eyes vigorously.

Knowing that the sign is on, it shouldn't hurt people, right? Emperor Li was very excited, with the blessing of the golden dragon, how is it different from salted fish if he doesn't pretend to be forced at this time? Call them in!

The civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty couldn't take care of eating imperial food, so they rushed to see the excitement. I saw the two eagles scurrying into the Taiji Palace, putting the box in their mouths in front of Li Shimin, and lowering their heads one after another, and pushing their heads to the eldest grandson queen as if coquettishly.

The eldest grandson queen was blessed to the heart, and smoothed the top feathers of the two eagles with her hand. The two eagles obediently crouched beside her.

Kong Yingda, who was holding a bowl of mutton soup, muttered: "The country will prosper, and there will be Zhenxiang!" This is auspiciousness......"
