Xie Hong's words came out, and the atmosphere in the private room immediately became solemn, but this solemnity was quickly broken, Zhengde cleared his throat, and suddenly said: "Big brother, did you forget anything before you talk about it?" ”

"What?" Xie Hong's eyes darkened, and he could only be at a loss. 【】

"Ding!" Zhengde raised his chopsticks and knocked heavily on the dishes, making a harsh sound, Yang Minzhi frowned, that bowl is the best porcelain in Jingdezhen, if it is shipped overseas, the price is the same as gold!

Zhengde shouted very dissatisfied: "Eat, I'm still hungry, quick, let them serve first, well, I want a seafood-flavored soup base, more monosodium glutamate, and prawns and shells......"

"......" Xie Hong was speechless, the Chinese tradition of talking about things while eating really has a long history, but, second brother, you can be regarded as a fake public and private, right? In the summer, I went to the back kitchen, and at this time, I just came to the meal, and regarded the dragon and phoenix shop as a royal canteen, which is really impossible to say.

Of course, this can only be regarded as Xie Hong's own sin, a way of eating similar to hot pot has long existed in Huaxia, but this kind of systematic way of eating is still his originality, plus the other tricks he made, they are all convenient and flavorful things, so it is no wonder that they are popular.

He glanced at the elated Zhengde, and then at Liu Guifei, whose eyes were shining, well, I have to admit that these two people are really a natural pair.

"Serve the food first, the kind of ...... with a small pot for one person"

is both the emperor and the shopkeeper, and with so many big people here, the outside world has long been ready to stop. When instructed, the waiters did not slack off, and shuttled back and forth like a cloud, and the table was set in a short time.

The hot pot is full of thick soup, and as soon as it is placed, the private room is immediately shrouded in aroma, and the heat is swirling, and no one is in the mood to talk about things. As Zhao Yuanzhi said, in the cold season, eating a hot pot is really a good enjoyment.

No, even a steady person like Wang Shouren couldn't help but pick up the chopsticks, not to mention the most urgent Zhengde of the surname?

I saw his chopsticks flying, scratching on the table, and the small pot in front of him and his woman was filled in an instant, looking at his posture, if it wasn't better cooked, he couldn't wait to eat the shrimp raw.

In the recipes for the emperor in the palace, there is generally no such thing as seafood. This thing is easy to spoil, the nearest port from the capital is Tianjin, the distance is only 200 miles, if you are in a hurry, you can run to the place in one day, it is not easy to say in summer, but in autumn and winter, it is sure to be delivered before the seafood spoils.

However, the rules of the palace are also very scientific, generally speaking, the Shang Shan Supervisor will not list this kind of thing that cannot be served in the four seasons as the imperial meal, after all, it cannot be guaranteed, and it is easy to have problems with eating.

If the emperor eats smoothly and orders food if he has nothing to do, then it will be a big trouble, and the inability to cook the dishes will make Long Yan angry, and it will already make people unable to eat and walk around, in case the emperor eats bad stomach again, it will be a fatal way.

Therefore, don't look at Zhengde as the Ninety-Five Supreme, but before going to Tianjin, he really hadn't eaten seafood. Not to mention Liu Guifei, she was originally from a bitter background, and in a border town like Datong, she hadn't even heard of seafood or anything.

The reason why Longfeng Restaurant serves seafood is not all to satisfy Zhengde's appetite, the key is the railway. Don't look at it as a horse-drawn car, but the speed is not slow at all, and it is flat and stable, but the ticket price is a bit expensive.

This is also a helpless thing, after all, the current rail trains are still horsepower, the carriage space is limited, and the cost of operation and maintenance is relatively high.

In this way, there are still a lot of people coming and going by car, but there are a lot fewer people transporting goods. Many goods do not need the fast word map, after the railway diverts part of the pressure, the canal is relatively smooth, and the bulk cargo is still the most cost-effective by waterway.

This situation made Yan Shilang, who was in charge of Tianjin, a little worried, he thought very practically, he had invested so much in the railway, and he had to make full use of it. In Tianjin's strong business atmosphere, his troubles were quickly solved, and with the prosperity of the Longfeng store, someone soon discovered the business opportunity.

As a result, the trains on the Beijing-Tianjin Railway have an extra smell of the sea, which can be regarded as a scene. Of course, the people of Beijing are quite supportive of this, and if you make money, you have to enjoy it, and the most enjoyable thing is not the word 'food color'?

Speaking of which, the popularity of the dragon and phoenix store can be regarded as a microcosm of Daming. This store is a relatively civilian market positioning, and those high-end restaurants are completely different, there is no huge consumer group, and it is impossible to have today's scene, with the diligence and thrift of the Chinese people, they will go out to eat, which can only prove that they do have some spare money in their hands.

"Said that the two towns of Xuanda have already had a military report, last month in Guihai, the border of the snow even fell heavily, the snow exceeded the knee, the two towns a total of 50,000 soldiers and horses, divided into more than 30 roads out of the plug, won a lot......" full of wine and food, Wang Shouren put down his chopsticks, and talked about business.

"As of the end of the military report, the first wave of attacks successfully achieved the strategic goal, breaking more than 30 Tatar tribes, beheading 50,000 people, and taking quite a few prisoners. After hearing the news, the Khan King Wusu directly gave up the Tumo River, crossed the Yin Mountain and fled north, and did not dare to look south. ”

"Alas, it's really pitiful, fleeing in the ice and snow, there is no hot pot to eat, and there is no down jacket......" Tang Bohu sighed hypocritically, and said to himself by the way: "The border army is really morale, and this is not my credit." ”

"Alas, big brother, I was deceived by you again, what do you say that there is no big scene, and I don't need to go out in person, what is the result...... The snow is full of bows and knives, and you can escape at night! It's obviously an amazing big scene, and it's exciting to think about! Zhengde also let out a long sigh, staring at Xie Hong with resentful eyes, with an unrelenting posture.

"Second brother, you have to pay attention, this is not the result of a battle, it is the thirty soldiers and horses who came out together and raided the fifty tribes closest to the side wall! Think about it, if you go, which way will you go? Where are the soldiers and horses of a small battle of a few thousand people, what does that mean? ”

"Anyway, I missed another episode, and you didn't say these words beforehand, you lied, so you have to give me an explanation."

How could Zhengde be so easy to deal with, he snorted, like saying a tongue twister, as he spoke, his eyes rolled, but he had an idea: "Otherwise, wouldn't you build a city in Tumochuan next year?" The Tartars will definitely not give up, so I'll go to Naturalization City in person. ”

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid that the scale of the battle to build the city next year will be smaller, and the Tartars have suffered two big losses in two years, how can they have the courage to fight again? Although they will not sit idly by and watch our army build the city, they will presumably only focus on harassment, and attack the rear of our army with small groups of rangers, and the battle will become very fierce and frequent, and at the same time unpredictable, the possibility of the soldiers in the naturalized city is very small. ”

Wang Shouren stood up at a critical moment, he didn't want to help Xie Hong break the siege, the two brothers would have similar conversations from time to time, and they had to help every time, wouldn't they be tired? Principal Wang has many responsibilities, so he doesn't have that kind of leisure, he just tells the truth.

"That's it......" Zhu Houzhao is very restrictive, but he is a reasonable person, and he is also an expert on military issues, combined with Xie Hong's tactics, he deduced it in his mind, and he also knew what it was like, so he had to dispel this idea. However, dispelling this idea does not mean that he has to give up, he swept his eyes and saw Yang Min, so he had an idea again.

"Then go to Nanyang, big brother, you promised me to go to sea before, won't there be a war on Annan's side next year? There are also stacks of ears and their Western forces, by the way, it is said that there are also big lobsters in the South Seas, and all kinds of strange-looking fruits, anyway, there are a lot of fun. ”

Zhengde held his chin and said, staring at Xie Hong with sparkling eyes, and put on an inevitable posture, not only trying to overwhelm Xie Hong in momentum, but also moving him with affection and tempting him, "Big brother, you take Qing'er and them, I will take Feng'er and Wan'er, and go to Nanyang to play together, how lively." ”

"Those people from the West haven't been to Nanyang yet, maybe they're still spinning around in the Tianzhu area, who are you going to fight? And the battle to aid the occupation of the city, we are not using a regular army, in fact, there is nothing lively to see, I don't believe you ask Governor Yang, the battle of Luzon, it is not interesting at all......" Xie Hong glanced at Yang Min.

"Those small countries in Nanyang are weak in force, and the will to resist is not strong, the natives of Luzon are still fighting and are still vulnerable...... Such an opponent really doesn't need to be there in person. ”

Yang Min understood, and continued with Xie Hong's words. Of course, what he said was also the truth, speaking from the ground was smooth, and speaking from the heart, he didn't expect it to be so smooth in advance.

"However, Annan's soldiers and horses have been in battle for a long time, and the Li clan has always been rebellious, so it shouldn't be that simple, right?" Zhengde was unmoved, and asked inquiringly: "Such a tricky enemy, big brother, you don't say that you want to transfer the guards or border troops, but what kind of mercenaries do you want to use...... Well, you wouldn't mean it, would you? What mercenaries can be stronger than the Guards? ”

"Second brother, you are wrong about this, since the price is marked, then the standard for measuring mercenaries is not whether they are strong or weak, but the surname price ratio," Xie Hong shook his finger and corrected: "The place in Annan is very hot, the terrain is also very bad, it is all rainforests and swamps or something, there is miasma everywhere, the guards can't be used when they go, and the non-combat attrition will be very serious, are you really willing?" ”

"Reluctantly." Zhengde replied honestly.

"So, to fight there, we can transfer a part of the forbidden army over to defend important ports and cities, and in field battles, we have to use some mercenaries who are not distressed when they die, and then they are still relatively strong and have a certain combat power. Those soldiers and horses were ready, and when Governor Yang went south, they would join them in Champ. ”

Yang Min responded, Zhengde thought about it, and shook his head dejectedly: "Big brother, you are a pit person, those mercenaries don't want money at all, you print a bunch of broken pieces of paper and let people sell their lives, what is more expensive than this surname?" You're so bad, you're so bad! ”
