Chapter 157: Empiricism Kills People

Tang Xun subconsciously said: "Your Majesty, no! ”

Lu Chengqi was very surprised and said curiously: "Why not?" ”

Tang Xun squeaked for a long time, and Lu Chengqi finally understood the reason. www.biquge.info It turns out that the dignitaries and nobles at this time did not eat pork. They thought pigs were too dirty and disdained to eat this "inferior" meat, and they regarded mutton as the best meat, so much so that the price of a sheep on the market was almost ten times that of a pig. Not to mention other places, with the economic level of Jingzhao Mansion, even ordinary people can afford to buy pork, which is about one pound and one hundred and twenty yuan. It's just that the poor people, except for the New Year's holidays, usually no one is willing to eat. More than 100 yuan is enough for a poor family to eat for several days.

In Royal Roads University, there are many students, and it is impossible to eat chicken, duck, goose and mutton every meal, so cheap and large amounts of pork have become frequent customers in the Royal Roads University cafeteria. Most of the students who come to Royal Roads University are from poor families, and they can only eat half of their meals in normal times, but now they have three meals a day, so where do they care about what kind of meat it is!

At this time, the reason why pork is not yet accepted by people and horses is that I don't know that pigs need to be castrated to eat meat so that there will be no unpleasant smell, thinking that this is because the pig itself is so fat and dirty, and the dignitaries are not willing to eat pork.

And Tang Xun means that Lu Chengqi is the king of a country, how can he eat such inferior food? After Lu Chengqi understood, he laughed and said: "The Son of Heaven can't eat pork, where does the fallacy come from, and lead the way, I want to see with my own eyes how the students eat." If you don't eat well, I will ask if I turn around and take the household! ”

Helpless, Tang Xun led the way, and tried to persuade him: "Your Majesty, the gentleman in the university, there is another cafeteria, why don't you go and eat?" ”

Of course, Lu Chengqi knew what this small stove meant, and if he couldn't get it, it was made by the old guy Yang Daoqi. This old guy used to be a beautiful Zaifu, and his standard of living was very good. After being taken down by Lu Chengqi, I am afraid that it is "easy to go from thrift to luxury, and from luxury to thrift". This old guy hasn't eaten anything, and he can still eat the food of the poor people? Naturally, the vice-chancellor should take advantage of his powers. I opened a small stove. And the excuse used is also very good, which is to take care of some of the teaching gentlemen, so that they do not go unrespected. In ancient times, teachers were very respectful, and Yang Daoqi did this. Understandable.

But if Lu Chengqi wants to truly understand the food of Royal Roads University, he naturally can't start from that small stove. Surprise inspections are always the only way to get to the bottom of the story.

After rejecting Tang Xun's kindness, Lu Chengqi diverted the topic and said, "Tang Qing, just now you said that the Jurchens are also potential enemies of my Dashun, and they are deeply heartfelt. I only say that you are in the way of nature, and the utensils have a profound attainment, but I don't expect the general trend of the world. You can see it so clearly! ”

Tang Xun said modestly: "It's just some scholars' wild words, and they can't be true!" ”

"If all the students in the world are like Tang Qing, down-to-earth and serious in their studies, I will be much more comfortable. There are many crazy births in the world, but Tang Qing is not! Anyway, I want to hear your understanding of the general trend in the world. Lu Chengqi half sighed, half ordered.

It's not the first time that Tang Xun feels that Lu Chengqi is so easy to speak. It can be accompanied by a tiger like a tiger. No matter how thick the saint is, he will one day fall out of favor. Tang Xun knows how to take matters very well, and has never been proud of his talents, which is the most rare temperament.

Just listen to him think about it. said: "The minister thinks that not long ago, my Dashun and Daliao opened a field with each other, which is a matter of killing two birds with one stone. What the Khitan people do, but tea ears, and the rest, they don't pay attention to ......"

Lu Chengqi was very surprised. Originally, he thought that the Khitan people lacked everything, why did Tang Xun only lack tea? It turns out that this empiricism will really kill people, Lu Chengqi believes that the Central Plains is prosperous, and naturally has the items that the grassland people need. The Central Plains region needed very little of the goods of the grassland peoples, so it was agreed to carry out the farm. In ancient times, if the steppe peoples lacked vitamins, they would raise troops to raid the border and plunder some grains. This is where the biggest difference between the grassland people and the Central Plains people lies. And tea happens to be the best commodity to solve this contradiction.

The rest of the salt, iron, cloth, etc., in fact, the grassland people are not lacking. With a leather jacket, will you still care about the cloth of the Central Plains? Salt, even if Dashun blocked the export of salt, the Uighurs would have transported salt to Liao. Lu Chengqi still didn't expect that in fact, the salt of Liao was cheaper than that of Dashun! Fortunately, the salt trade was opened, otherwise after the mutual market, once the salt of the Liao State was dumped on Dashun, I am afraid that it would have a certain impact on the economy of Dashun.

Now that the salt field is open and the official salt is cancelled, we only need to wait for the transportation problem to be solved and the price of salt to rise, will the salt still be in supply?

Tang Xun didn't notice Lu Chengqi's strange face, and continued, "...... There are also a lot of things in Liao, the northwest tribes often rebel, and the Jurchen people in Changbai Mountain are also not restless, and these places contain a large number of Liao troops. If I Dashun wants to break the deadlock, it is better to send people to these tribes, support them, and fight against the Liao State, so as to weaken the strength of the Liao State. ”

Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "Is this a different time and space version of Lianjin to destroy Liao?" The strategy is really good, but it is necessary to master a degree, if it is obvious that the Liao State is not as good as the rising Jurchens, it is necessary to change the object of support. ”

Tang Xun was still looking forward to himself and said: "Your Majesty's new law has indeed eliminated a lot of malpractices, but there are also some quick successes and quick benefits. If Your Majesty can slow down a little longer, the effect may be even better......"

Lu Chengqi listened to him quietly before sighing: "Tang Qing is really a great talent, I have been taught." ”

Tang Xun said in a panic: "The minister is quick to talk for a while, and I hope that Your Majesty will forgive your sins!" ”

Lu Chengqi sighed: "What is Tang Qing's crime? I'm afraid this is not Tang Qing's thoughts, but also the thoughts of many courtiers, right? I did ignore the feelings of my courtiers, and I didn't think about it well. Tang Qing reminded me well, I will pay attention to it in the future. ”

As he spoke, the student cafeteria of Royal Roads University arrived. At the moment, class has not ended, but the cafeteria meal has been prepared. Lu Chengqi and Tang Xun each made a meal and ate up. Tang Xun belonged to chasing ducks to the shelves, and he had to do it as a last resort. Lu Chengqi was a little self-inflicted, when he took the first bite of pork from another time and space, the smell was unforgettable. Fortunately, he deliberately cultivated his self-cultivation, ate the meal without changing his face, and said at the end: "Yes, it would be better if you used ginger to remove the smell......

Tang Xun had already tried these meals, so he fought less. Hearing Lu Chengqi say this, he hurriedly echoed: "The minister will let those cooks pay attention to it......"

Lu Chengqi pretended to leave the cafeteria as if nothing happened, but in fact, he endured the disgusting feeling and almost vomited several times. Reborn, what pork hasn't he eaten? It's just that this is the first time I've seen such a big flavor of pork! (To be continued.) )
