After Li Gonglin ate a mouthful of chili, he refused to put down his chopsticks again, which is also a normal reaction for most people after eating chili for the first time. In contrast, although the snack of small bean sprouts was not light, she still insisted on eating a few bites, but after all, it was the first time she ate chili peppers, and she couldn't adapt to it at first, so she couldn't eat anymore after eating a few bites, and her little face was also spicy red, and her forehead was full of crystal beads of sweat.

In contrast, Zhao Yan was enjoying a face, although this body was also the first time to eat chili peppers, but he did not have any discomfort, but felt extremely enjoyable, the chopsticks in his hands also came and went, and after a while, he finished eating the chili peppers in front of him, and even when he saw that the vegetables in the hands of the little bean sprouts did not eat a few bites at all, he also took them and ate them all, such a good thing must not be wasted.

Li Gonglin and Xiao Dou Sprouts stared at Zhao Yan with strange eyes and finished eating the two plates of chili scrambled eggs, although Zhao Yan was also sweating profusely, but the expression of enjoyment on his face could not deceive people, which showed that Zhao Yan really liked to eat this kind of hot and spicy food, but unfortunately neither of them had the courage to eat it again.

"Whew~" Zhao Yan put down his chopsticks and let out a sigh, chili peppers are actually similar to drugs, and if you eat too much, you will be addicted, but not as big as the side effects of drugs, if there are no chili peppers at all, Zhao Yan is likely to quit from now on, but he didn't expect to bring some chili seeds by mistake, but in the process of waiting for the chili peppers to mature, he was tormented, and today he finally got what he wanted.

"Junwang, this chili pepper is so spicy, it's spicier than dogwood sauce, green onions, and ginger, and my tongue is numb now." Little Bean Sprouts came over with tears in her eyes and whispered, it was the first time she had encountered something that even she couldn't eat.

"yes. This dish is really spicy, is it really okay for you to eat so much? Li Gonglin also reacted at this time, and at the same time was a little worried about Zhao Yan's body, just now he took a bite like eating a piece of red-hot charcoal, and now Zhao Yan eats so much. He was really worried that Zhao Yan's body would burn from the inside.

"What is this, I've eaten anything spicier than this." Zhao Yanman said indifferently, the Sichuan cuisine and Hunan cuisine in later generations used more and spicier chili peppers, and his plate of fried dishes with green chili peppers was nothing at all.

Seeing that Zhao Yan was really fine, the little bean sprouts immediately looked at Zhao Yan with a kind of admiration, while Li Gonglin was shocked at the same time. But I feel a little taken for granted, the so-called strange people must have strange deeds, Zhao Yan is a notorious gentleman, but he is famous for his painting skills on the West Garden Collection, and it is understandable that such strange people do any strange behavior.

"Brother Bo Shi. How do you feel about this chili? Zhao Yan took a sip of the warm water brought by the small bean sprouts, and suddenly raised his head to Li Gonglin's question, he was worried that the other party would pester him to discuss painting skills, so he simply preemptively distracted the other party.

"What do you think?" Li Gonglin was stunned again when he heard this, and asked, it was just a dish, he didn't understand why Zhao Yan asked like this?

"Brother Bo Shi, let me remind you again, this kind of pepper is only grown here by me. And it has a very spicy taste, which can be used as a seasoning when cooking, and can also be used as a vegetable. Especially in the cold season, chili peppers can make people sweat to ward off the cold. Zhao Yan said again with a smile at this time.

"This?" Li Gonglin hesitated for a moment when he heard this, and finally said tentatively, "The spicy taste has always been obtained from spices such as green onions, ginger and garlic, and the spicy taste of this pepper is very strong. In this way, it may add spices to the kitchen in the future. The king of the county can also make a lot of money by selling chili peppers! ”

"Hahaha~, Brother Bo Shi only said the basic role of chili peppers. Don't look at you can't eat chili peppers now, but after eating a few more times, you will find that you can't do without chili peppers, now the chili seeds are still relatively few, in the future I will distribute the seeds to the surrounding people for them to plant, and then buy them and sell them to various places, especially in Northern Liao and Xixia where the winter is cold, I will definitely like chili peppers This condiment, in this way, I will have an important foreign trade goods, so as to increase a lot of income to the treasury, and the farmers who grow chili peppers can also benefit from this, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone! Zhao Yan explained with a laugh.

Li Gonglin was also very surprised when he heard this, he didn't expect Zhao Yan's gaze to be so far-reaching, and he could see such a far-reaching problem from a small chili pepper, but then he saw Zhao Yan sigh and said: "It's a pity that we can't monopolize the chili pepper forever, it is estimated that in a few years, the chili pepper seeds will be transmitted to the Liao Kingdom and Western Xia, and then I am afraid that the chili peppers of our Great Song Dynasty will not be able to sell." ”

In fact, it's not just peppers, Zhao Yan is most worried about corn and sweet potatoes, these two crops are now strictly kept secret by Zhao Shu, and they will definitely try to find ways to prevent these two crops from spreading to Liao and Xixia in the future, but these two crops can only play their due role if they are promoted, but it is difficult to keep them secret when they are promoted, this is almost an unsolvable problem, either it is forever secret, regardless of the life or death of the people in the world, or it is promoted, and then it is obtained by Liao and Xixia, so that they can also be stained.

Thinking of this, Zhao Yan couldn't help but sigh again, in fact, this problem can't be said to be completely unsolvable, Zhao Yan has a solution now, that is, before the corn and sweet potatoes are not spread, the Great Song Dynasty can accumulate enough strength, and then destroy these two strong enemies in one fell swoop, and then there will be no need to worry about this problem.

However, this is obviously a bit unrealistic, at least Zhao Yan himself has no confidence, the Great Song Dynasty is rich but not strong, the key is the military aspect, not that the army of the Great Song Dynasty is not strong, but the command system of the army is very problematic, especially the suppression and defense of the generals, although this avoids the possibility of the generals supporting the army and self-respect, but it also makes the combat effectiveness of the army plummet, and the smaller scale of the war is fine, but when encountering a big battle, the chain will always be dropped at the critical moment, and the result will leave an impression of a weak Song Dynasty to later generations.

Li Gonglin didn't know about corn and sweet potatoes, and when he saw that Zhao Yan was so worried about the spread of chili peppers, he smiled and comforted: "It's just a small chili pepper, even if it spreads to Liao and Western Xia, it doesn't matter, and Liao and Western Xia are not good at farming, even if they plant chili peppers, I'm afraid they can't compare to my Great Song Dynasty, and the chili peppers of the county king will definitely not be sold in the future." ”

Regarding Li Gonglin's words, Zhao Yan secretly smiled bitterly, although the Liao State and Western Xia did not attach as much importance to agriculture as the Great Song Dynasty, if they knew the yield of corn and sweet potatoes, they would definitely vigorously promote it, after all, they were more short of grain than the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Shu must have thought of this problem a long time ago, so he kept the corn and sweet potatoes strictly secret, and there were definitely only ten people in the entire Great Song Dynasty who knew the inside story, but I don't know what countermeasures he had against it?

Coincidentally, just when Zhao Yan was guessing that Zhao Shu had any way to stop the spread of corn and sweet potatoes, suddenly someone from the family came to report, saying that the palace had sent someone to summon Zhao Yan into the palace, which made Zhao Yan also feel relieved, and he could finally get rid of Li Gonglin, a pestering guy, but he then made a regretful expression and said: "Brother Boshi, today is really unfortunate, my father summoned me to the palace, and I can only talk to you in detail in the future!" ”

However, Zhao Yan was too optimistic, and saw that Li Gonglin also said with a regretful face when he heard this: "It's okay, since I can't ask the county king for advice today, then I will also go back to the city, it just so happens that we can enter the city together, and during the time of the car, I can ask the county king for advice on a few of the most important problems!" ”

Zhao Yan almost vomited a mouthful of blood when he heard this, if he had Li Gonglin's learning attitude in the future, I am afraid that he would have become a world-renowned painter long ago, no wonder people can leave a strong mark in the history of painting, it seems that behind everyone's success, it is necessary to pay unimaginable hardships and efforts for ordinary people.

Before getting into the car, Zhao Yan told the coachman that he must run faster, so that he would be less tortured, but the courtyard needed to walk a long way from the palace, and the streets of Tokyo were relatively crowded, so Zhao Yan was finally pestered by Li Gonglin for nearly an hour, and finally when he arrived at the palace gate, Li Gonglin got off the carriage satisfied, leaving Zhao Yan dizzy and entered the palace.

Since the Liao delegation left, Zhao Shu's body recovered very quickly, and he was even able to walk around on his own, which also made the ministers of the court very excited, and many people were already clamoring for Zhao Shu to be in power, but this time the Empress Dowager Cao didn't know what to think, and she actually held on to the power in her hands, which also made the relationship between Zhao Shu and the Empress Dowager Cao tense again.

Regarding the power struggle between the Empress Dowager Cao and Zhao Shu, Zhao Yan made up his mind not to get involved, and Zhao Ji, who was the quasi-crown prince, also had the same attitude towards this, and Zhao Ji also deliberately went to Zhao Yan to remind him that he must not get involved in the fight between the two elders, because no matter who he helps, it will not be beneficial to them, or let the two elders solve it themselves, anyway, in the current shape of the Great Song Dynasty, the battle between Zhao Shu and the Empress Dowager Cao will definitely not have a bloody conflict, and it depends on who gets the most support in the court. And who has the best wrists.

Thinking of the battle between Zhao Shu and Empress Dowager Cao, Zhao Yan couldn't help but have a headache, this time Zhao Shu summoned himself into the palace because of this incident, right? If that's the case, then he'll immediately turn around and pretend to be sick, and then wait for them to decide the winner.

Zhao Yan, who was thinking about his thoughts, came to the outside of Zhao Shu's dormitory, but now Huang Wude, the big spy leader, was standing outside the palace gate, and when the other party saw him, he immediately stepped forward and whispered: "King of the county, there is news from Liaoguo, but there is good news and bad news, which one do you want to hear first?"
