5. Do business with the emperor
Jingwen saw that Li Shimin was so generous, which made him a little overwhelmed. Jing Wen is only a fifteen-year-old chef at the moment, and he doesn't even have official chef qualifications, what can he want? This condition can't be too much, can you still let Li Shimin marry the princess to you? I'm afraid that's not realistic. What's more, now that the treasury is empty, if Jingwen wants to go too far, he will be scolded instead. However, Jingwen was not willing to lose this good opportunity like this. Jingwen's eyes rolled for a moment, and he thought about it.
"Your Majesty, now that the treasury is empty, since the minister is a subject of the emperor, he naturally cannot add a burden to the emperor. The minister does not intend to ask for a reward now, but he hopes to ask for it when the treasury is better. Jingwen said.
After Li Shimin heard this, he was also a little moved, because he could understand the emperor's thoughts, this kind of courtier is definitely a good courtier! If it weren't for Jingwen being just a cook, I'm afraid Li Shimin would have to continue to praise him fiercely.
"Your Majesty, since the treasury is empty, the emperor's life is not very good, right? You see, the queen has lost weight! Jingwen immediately said in a helpless tone.
Empress Eldest Sun suddenly laughed and said; "You kid, why did Hongu lose weight? You're a kid who flatters people. ”
"You cook, don't say more about this kind of flattery in the future, I don't like it." Li Shimin suddenly said sternly.
When Jingwen heard Li Shimin say this, he thought to himself; "You're not used to ghosts? Look at the smile on your face like a chrysanthemum, will you not like it? It seems that you are suffocated by those loyal ministers and good ministers, and you need someone to pat you on the back! ”
"Your Majesty, the minister is not flattering, the minister thinks that the emperor may not even be able to consume life because the treasury is empty. However, the emperor is the lord of a country, and no matter how bitter he is, he can't bitter the emperor! Therefore, the minister tried to find some money for the emperor, so that the emperor could buy a few clothes for the queen mother, so that the queen could dress up more beautifully, so that she could have the posture of a mother's honor in the world! Jingwen said.
"Hehe, little cook, do you say that this palace doesn't have the posture of a mother in the world now?" Empress Eldest Sun said with a smile.
Jingwen replied immediately; "Don't dare! No matter what, the queen can be the mother of the world. However, the emperor has no private money, and you can only be wronged. Therefore, the minister is trying to find a way for the emperor to earn some money for the emperor. ”
When Li Shimin heard this, his heart couldn't help but move, this question was in Li Shimin's heart. Now that the treasury is empty, it is difficult for Li Shimin to take money from the treasury to subsidize his own use. Therefore, it is an indisputable fact that the expenses of ** have been greatly reduced. But since this little cook can take the initiative to help the emperor share his worries, no matter what the idea is, whether it can be realized or not, it is better to listen to it.
"What can you do? If the solution is good, I will be rewarded! Li Shimin said again.
When Jingwen saw this situation, he immediately knew that Li Shimin had taken the bait, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, in fact, you don't know, this instant noodle making zuò is very easy and doesn't cost a few dollars." But it's so delicious, and there are no more people out there who like it. When the time comes, as long as we can take out this instant noodle and sell it outside, we will definitely be able to get a lot of money. ”
Li Shimin thought for a moment and said, "This, since this is made by you, then you have decided, why do you bother to ask me?" ”
"Your Majesty, since the minister invented it in the emperor's dining room, then this invention naturally has a share of the palace, and the palace is all yours of the emperor, so naturally there is a share of the emperor, so the minister wants to ask the emperor's opinion. If the emperor doesn't agree, the minister won't dare to call the shots! Jingwen said.
Jingwen just hopes to get this instant noodle related to the emperor, so that it will be convenient to do business with Li Shimin in the future! And with the business that the emperor joined, the ability to resist risks is much greater, and no one will even have the courage to take food from the tiger's mouth. However, this will inevitably have to share some profits to the emperor. However, others would rather leave the big head to the emperor and do business with the emperor!
"Well, listening to you say that, there is still some truth!" Li Shimin couldn't help but be taken into the ditch by Jingwen.
Because there are no patents in this era, let alone patent law, so Jingwen can only say one sentence, and Li Shimin agrees. It's not that Li Shimin is stupid, but Li Shimin has never experienced this kind of thing, so he is a layman in this regard, so he can only be led by Jingwen by the nose.
"Your Majesty, since this kind of instant noodles is not difficult to make, and it is convenient to make zuò, it can be eaten by the army! In addition, he was able to create a special bowl that used lime to heat hot water, and he could use lime to heat hot water, so that even in winter, soldiers could hold knives and hot noodles. What's more, this instant noodle is very delicious, and the soldiers will definitely thank the emperor for his kindness after eating it! Jingwen said.
When Li Shimin heard this, he immediately paid attention to it. Because Li Shimin is also a soldier, of course he knows how unpalatable the army's dry food is. Once it is a cold day, it is inevitable to eat cold and hard dry food, and Li Shimin has also experienced that taste. Li Shimin profoundly knew that if the soldiers could eat the special noodles on a cold day, it would greatly improve their morale. And when Jingwen said this, Li Shimin immediately paid real attention.
This is not only a business, nor is it simply a noodle, but it is related to the long-term plan of the army in the future, and can even affect the morale of the army. Being able to make the army eat hot noodles on a cold day is also a great achievement. Even, the soldiers would be grateful for the emperor's kindness, and this is not in vain, but very likely to be true.
"Well, this is a big deal, and it must be taken seriously." The expression on Li Shimin's face became stern.
When Jingwen saw this situation, he immediately said: "Your Majesty, the minister Mao recommended himself, wanting to share the emperor's worries and handle this matter well." As long as the emperor hands over this matter to our imperial dining room, then our imperial dining room will ensure that the soldiers can eat hot noodles at any time. ”
"Little cook, what's your name? I want to know your name! Li Shimin suddenly asked seriously.
Jing Wen immediately bowed and said, "Your Majesty, the minister's surname is Jing, the scenery of the scenery." A single name is a text, a literary text. ”
"Good! I remember you, you're a different kind of cook! Li Shimin praised.
After Jingwen heard this, he almost wanted to jump up, because Li Shimin said that he remembered himself. Li Shimin actually remembered a cook, this class is really a rare thing!
