Xia Xianggong, who has played conspiracy all his life, was overshadowed by a junior, and he was very thorough and simple. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

In fact, he should have been aware of it a long time ago, the last time Wang Ze's rebellion told everyone that the former Qingli gentleman had disappeared, and he had been released from the constraints of moral principles, and he was not stupider than him, why would Han Qi and Fu Bi be eaten to death by him, and people would also take medicine according to the prescription.

It's just that Xia Zhu didn't expect that even Ouyang Xiu, the cannon barrel, had changed his sex, he didn't impeach or say anything, and he didn't even mention the disadvantage of disaster relief, just saying that the people's livelihood was difficult, and he made a map of displaced people, which just hit Zhao Zhen's weakness, and naturally turned his anger to Xia Zhu. Han Qi pushed again, and he couldn't do it if he didn't leave Kyoto.

Xia Xianggong has been shrewd all his life, and he also knows that this is a fire pit, but he jumped to the front of the Liuta River before, and something happened at this time, and he had to go up......

Fortunately, Zhao Zhen was also interesting enough, not only let him continue to serve as a privy envoy, but also crowned Zheng Guogong, responsible for repairing the river and providing relief to the victims.

Xia Xianggong left the capital with a heavy burden of eating, quite apprehensively.

……

"Yes, the drunkard is clever." Wang Ningan was not without surprise: "Get Xia Zhu out of the capital and let him be in charge of disaster relief, Xia Xianggong can't make trouble for himself, this trick is clever!" ”

"It's rare that Erlang can afford to look down on the old man." Ouyang Xiu grabbed his beard and said with a smile: "The old man still thinks that you have been empty-eyed!" ”

"What's the matter, I respect you very much, it's just that Xia Xianggong is in charge of disaster relief matters, whatever achievements I make, I have to give half to Xia Xianggong, can the drunkard be willing?"

Ouyang Xiu snorted, and his old face sank.

"Wang Erlang, you are still underestimating the old man! Hundreds of thousands of people died on the front line, can't the old man let go of a little personal grudge? As long as the people can be saved, why not let Xia Zhu be arrogant for a few days? Ouyang Xiu glared at Wang Ning'an fiercely, and said fiercely: "I have done everything I can do, and the rest depends on your ability!"

The old master threw up his sleeves and left, leaving only Wang Ningan to touch his nose.

It's time to look at yourself!

After pondering for a long time, I finally had a belly case.

first brought Uncle Cao Tong over, and Cao Tong waved his hand as soon as they met, "Wang Erlang, it's true that we are friends, but my family is not something I can say, if you want to care about me borrowing food, I really can't help." ”

Wang Ning'an is so angry, just your virtue, you still want to cultivate into the Eight Immortals, go dream!

"I don't care if you borrow grain, so I ask you one thing, how can you sell an ordinary thing for a valuable price?"

Cao Tong let out a long breath, scratched his head, and said with a smile: "This is not difficult, but what do you want to see?" If it's a girl......" Cao Tong looked around, leaned into Wang Ning'an's ear, and said sheepishly: "Let her accompany the drunkard for a few days, and then let the drunkard write a few poems for her, and immediately she is worth a hundred times, how many people hold gold and want to taste it." ”

Uncle Cao Guo's eyebrows danced, his expression was bright, and he wanted to talk about it, but Wang Ningan's face was dark, and he had to keep his mouth shut.

"I mean business, let's not go around in circles, the only thing I can use to save people is whale meat, you can help me think about it, how can I get more money!"

Wang Ning'an has a lot of money, but the smuggling of spirits can't be put on the table, and the white sugar can't be squeezed until after the harvest in July and August.

After all the calculations, the fastest is whaling.

In fact, he dared to say that settling 100,000 people was also the confidence brought by whaling.

"This...... Cao Yan thought for a long time, and muttered: "I'm afraid I can only find my brother-in-law." ”

……

sent Xia Wei out, Zhao Zhen's heart is still uneasy, it is not enough to send a minister to help the victims, there must be food, but where does the food come from?

Last year, the harvest in various places was poor, Hebei was flooded, the grain stock in the treasury was exhausted, and the summer grain in the southeast could not be delivered to the capital until July and August.

"Chen Banban, from today onwards, let's reduce the number of dishes to four dishes per meal, don't eat meat, I can't eat it when I think of the suffering of the people."

Other emperors say this, but I'm afraid that nine out of ten percent is fake, but Zhao Zhen is not joking.

Chen Lin was about to cry, "Official, there are rules for imperial meals, how can slaves and maids let the saint be wronged!" ”

"What grievances, hundreds of thousands of disaster victims, from last year to this year, have never had enough to eat, sell their sons and daughters, how desolate! I bow down and be ashamed of the common people! ”

Chen Lin couldn't resist Zhao Zhen, so he had to nod.

When it was time for dinner, Zhao Zhen was stunned, and said that there were four dishes, why did there be one more?

"Chen Banban, is it useless for me to speak?"

Zhao Zhen put down the dishes and chopsticks, and his face sank quickly.

Chen Lin hurriedly said: "The saint's day is for the sake of the common people in the world, how can the old slave not know." This dish was specially ordered by Uncle Guo, and it was also for the sake of the common people, and the old slave had the courage to come up. ”

"Cao Yan? What does he know! "Zhao Zhen's tone is not good, he has a lot of brothers-in-law, but there are no successful ones, Cao Tong is also a gentleman, what good things can he do?

"Something is wrong, Cao Tong is now in Cangzhou, could it be ...... Is this Wang Erlang's kid doing it? ”

Chen Lin said with a smile: "I can't hide anything from the eyes of the sage, a few days ago, the Wang family sent people out, and I heard that they caught two big whales and came back, this is whale meat." ”

"Oh?"

Zhao Zhen had eaten everything, but he had never tasted whale meat, so he took a pair of chopsticks and put them in his mouth.

The meat is very coarse, and there is a faint smell, no wonder it is heavy oil and salt, most of it is to cover up the fishy smell, Zhao Zhen doesn't like it, so he reluctantly eats it and puts it down.

He was very curious, what did Wang Ningan send this thing for, wouldn't it just be a taste?

"Tell me, what tricks did the Wang kid do again?"

Chen Lin hurriedly smiled and said: "Enlightened sage, there are many people in Hebei right now, and the drunkard is also on the map of the displaced people, Wang Ningan wants to relieve your worries." It happened that their family caught a whale and directly distributed the whale meat to the people, although it was able to save some people, but he felt that it was a bit of a waste of things, so after discussing with Uncle Guo, he gave it to the saint. ”

Zhao Zhen rubbed his forehead, "He has a good heart, but I can't get food to exchange whale meat with him!" Besides, if I had food, I would have sent it directly, and I would have used him! ”

"Official, Wang Erlang, he didn't mean that."

"And what does he mean?"

"He wants the official family to help him sell whale meat, the court has no grain, and those big families have no grain!" Chen Lin said: "The imperial court can't force them to give out grain, but they can exchange whale meat for it, and the saint won't forget the Yaochi elixir!" ”

Zhao Zhen finally smiled, in the past year, Yaochi Qiong Jelly has brought almost one million dividends to the palace, not only Zhao Zhen has a comfortable life, but even the eunuchs and maids in the palace have straightened their waists.

Without this incense, what kind of person is Chen Lin, how could he be desperate to say good things to Wang Ningan!

"Wang Erlang is a person who can do business, for the sake of the victims, I will also help him!" Zhao Zhen thought about it and asked Chen Lin to wrap the whale meat, and the high-ranking officials, clansmen, generals, and every household in Beijing sent a copy over.

Zhao Zhen is also a foolish person, he doesn't like to eat whale meat, those high-ranking officials and generals, civil and military ministers, usually live a more luxurious life than the emperor, I haven't seen anything good, how can whale meat impress them.

Some people, out of curiosity, tasted a little, and then threw it aside, thanking Bumin.

Fortunately, the emperor of Zhao and Song Dynasty is not like the descendants of wild boar skin, whatever he gives, he must be offered as an ancestor, and after these wealthy families tried, they gave the remaining whale meat to their descendants, and even some of it flowed to the market.

What the wealthy and high-ranking officials looked down on, instantly ignited the enthusiasm of the people.

The people of Bianjing are well-informed, and some people tell everyone that whales are so big, several zhang long, bigger than a boat.

Ooh!

Isn't that the Sea Dragon King?

I don't know who invented it first, everyone called this kind of meat "sea dragon meat", and then simply called it "dragon meat", the more it is said, the more mysterious, some people say that eating dragon meat can strengthen the body, and all diseases will not invade, some people say that eating dragon meat can dry wood in spring, prolong life, and some people say that dragon meat can help people get pregnant, and you can conceive dragon seeds after eating dragon meat...... Bah, the one who said that has been killed.

Even some monks and Taoists joined in the fun, saying that eating dragon meat can soar in the day and ascend to the fairy world...... All in all, there's everything to say.

It is said that an old man got a secret recipe, dragon meat stewed yam, and after eating it for three days in a row, his face was full of red light, his waist and legs were strong, and he walked ten miles without resting.

Finally there is an instance, and the big guys are even crazier, even if someone reminds them that whoever eats meat for a few days in a row will have a good face, not to mention dragon meat, beef and pork are the same - but no one listens to this rational voice at all, everyone believes that dragon meat has magical powers, and they can't try it immediately.

The price of whale meat changes three times a day, as if taking a helicopter, and some people even pay hundreds of dollars, just to taste the taste of dragon meat. It is estimated that this must have a grudge against the old Zhao family, he is not eating dragon meat, but the meat of Emperor Zhao and Song!

It is said that the flowers bloom in the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, and the whale meat has not been circulated in the upper layer, but has been warmly welcomed by ordinary people, which is really unexpected.

The Imperial City Division has a report to the palace every day, and when Chen Lin learned that the capital set off a dragon meat fever, he was scared into a cold sweat, obediently, someone should not want to eat the emperor!

By the time he figured out what was going on, he was so angry that his nose was crooked. I had no choice but to ask Zhao Zhen for guilt.

"The old slave begs the saint to punish him."

Zhao Zhen was puzzled, "Chen Banban, what's going on?" ”

"Yes, it's whale meat."

Zhao Zhen put down the scroll in his hand and said angrily: "Could it be that those courtiers are unwilling to buy whale meat?" Hmph, usually they all sound good, but when they are really used, they are all far away, and they are reluctant to even give up some money? ”

Chen Lin's sweat, the emperor misunderstood again, and hurriedly said the matter, whale meat is not that no one wants, but it is too popular. After Zhao Zhen listened, he couldn't cry or laugh.

Chen Lin pleaded again, "Sage, the people keep eating dragon meat, who doesn't know, the official family is the real dragon emperor, what are they going to do!" The old slave let people investigate thoroughly, and they are not allowed to talk nonsense. ”

"That's it!"

Zhao Zhen waved his hand, but laughed first, "As soon as the people say it, how can they take it seriously!" Even if it really is, I am willing to sacrifice my flesh and soul to save countless people. ”
