Chapter 191: Turmoil
Beef can only come from cultivated cattle, and slaughtering ploughing cattle in the prime of life is a first-class felony in the laws of the Qianyuan Dynasty.
Those cultivated cattle that died of old age or died by accident were basically recovered by the government, and there was no trace of beef in ordinary restaurants.
If someone is found to be selling a large amount of beef privately, they will definitely be strictly investigated by the government.
If they are found to have slaughtered cattle in private, they will be imprisoned and may even be exiled.
So this sentence of ten catties of beef really shocked many people, and the surroundings were a little noisy for a while.
Shi Lan didn't know the inside story, and when she saw Xiao Er's reaction, she was just a little disappointed.
The flesh and blood essence contained in beef must be much higher than that of these chickens, ducks and pork......
"Where are you from? Who asked you to smear my reputation as a man of incense? ”
The old shopkeeper, who was rich, walked out from behind the counter with a serious expression.
Several handymen gathered around at the same time, and their faces were not good.
Shi Lan frowned, for a while, she just ordered a dish, it doesn't matter if she can't serve it, why do you still have such an attitude.
Seeing that Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi's expressions were wrong, and after glancing at the rest of the people in the restaurant, Shi Lan reacted, probably because she ordered the wrong dish?
"This kind of rumor-monger, let me wait for him to be sent to the government office, and then it will naturally come to light."
As soon as a handyman finished speaking, a flat question came from the side of the lobby.
"What's wrong? Who are you going to loosen the government? ”
Following the prestige, a group of three people slowly walked into the lobby from outside the door.
The leader is a white-faced middle-aged man with a beard about forty years a year, wearing a brocade robe embroidered on a black background, not angry and arrogant.
There were two people standing behind him, one was about twenty-three or four, dressed in cyan brocade, with an indescribable nobility, and the other was a black-faced man, with a long breath and a silent landing, obviously a master of the inner family with a lot of internal skills.
The shopkeeper walked up quickly, bowed down and said, "Lord Zhizhou... Makes you smile......"
Hearing the shopkeeper's explanation, the middle-aged man waved his hand
"It's not a big deal, why bother to make a big fuss, maybe it's a slip of the tongue, let these three people go, the government is very busy now, and I don't have time to deal with these trivial things."
"Obey the order of Lord Zhizhou." The shopkeeper will naturally not refute the face of the nobles, and respectfully respond.
The young man who followed behind the middle-aged man kept his eyes on Shi Lan, and his eyebrows wrinkled imperceptibly.
After the shopkeeper motioned for several handymen to retreat, he respectfully led the three of them to the private room on the second floor.
After such a stir, Shi Lan was not in the mood to eat, and left the restaurant directly.
Out of the restaurant, Shi Lan asked Lao Hong a few words, and only then did he know what the problem with the beef was.
Shi Lan didn't expect that eating meat and this kind of rule made her, who was already a little accustomed to freedom, feel an indescribable constraint.
As for the white-faced middle-aged man just now, he is the governor of Qingzhou City, Shen Mingyi, has a good official reputation, and is very loved by the people.
……
Full fragrance building, in the private room.
"Your Highness, but you are interested in the woman just now?" Shen Mingyi filled the teacup for the young man and smiled.
Shen Zhizhou laughed.
The young man shook his head, "I have been learning the Tao from Shizun's side since I was a child, and I have a little knowledge of the art of face-to-face, and this woman ...... just now."
At this, the man hesitated slightly.
"What was that woman's face just now?" Shen Mingyi was a little curious.
"This woman, who has the appearance of disturbing the world, will ...... the national fortune of our dynasty Causing a lot of impact. ”
As soon as these words came out, the young man himself laughed, shook his head and said, "Maybe I have been dizzy and confused in my recent search for national fortunes. ”
Once the fortune of the country, how can a mere woman shake it.
"Haha, it's not impossible for this woman to have an impact on the fortunes of the country." Shen Mingyi had a smile on his face.
"Oh? Why? ”
The man was a little surprised.
"Your Royal Highness marries her, and when her mother is in the world, she naturally has the ability to shake the country's foundation, I don't know if what Your Majesty said is right?" Shen Mingyi joked.
"Shen Zhizhou said carefully! Your father has demoted you to this place for three years, and you still can't change this unscrupulous problem? ”
The man frowned, "The matter of the prince has not yet been decided, and my father is in the prime of life, so it is too early to talk about this at this time." ”
Shen Mingyi shook his head with a smile, took a sip of tea, and said no more.
The black-faced man stood at the table, looking at his nose and nose like a sculpture.
"Why did Your Majesty suddenly move the capital?"
After being silent for a while, Shen Mingyi put down his teacup and looked up.
"Shizun watched the sky at night, found that the stars shifted, fearing turmoil, after opening the hexagram, found that the dragon vein luck moved south, and then advised to move the capital, my father thought about it for two days, and then issued an order to move the capital, let me take the first step to investigate the situation."
"The move to move the capital, working the people and hurting money, is not a child's play, there is no real person, and the weight in front of His Majesty is really incomparable."
"There are no real people, and His Highness's status is as stable as a rock." Shen Mingyi pointed out: "Your Majesty can hand over such an important matter of moving the capital to His Royal Highness, which shows the importance of it. ”
The young man's eyes flickered for a moment, then he calmed down and drank tea silently.
……
Soon after Shi Lan left the restaurant, Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi's stomach had some problems, they had not been touched by meat for a long time, and they would inevitably have gastrointestinal discomfort after eating so many greasy things for a while.
In desperation, Shi Lanzhi first found an inn, settled the two of them, and then found a tailor's shop.
There are no shops that sell ready-to-wear or anything like that, so if you want clothes, you need to order them in advance.
Lao Hongtou and Ah Qi's clothes happened to be ready-made in the tailor's shop, but there were none suitable for Shi Lan to wear.
Shi Lan spent three times the price to get the tailor to agree to work overnight, make the clothes she wanted first, and deliver them tomorrow morning.
Leaving the tailor shop with his clothes, Shi Lan went straight to the largest pharmacy in Qingzhou City.
Although there are still pills in the system temporary storage area, they are consumables after all, and one day they will be used up, and they will definitely have to be open sourced.
Now that he was relying on eating flesh and blood, the speed of replenishing flesh and blood essence qi was too slow, and Shi Lan could only move his gaze to the medicinal materials.
However, after inquiring about the price of medicinal materials for the year, Shi Lan was even more helpless, the price was really outrageous.
Giving up the idea of purchasing in large quantities, Shi Lan only bought some basic medicinal materials to nourish the body, and then returned to the inn with two packages.
……
In the inn room, the heat lingers, and there is a faint smell of medicine.
"Wow—Wow—"
Shi Lan sat on the edge of the wooden barrel, stirred the bucket full of most of the water, and after testing the water temperature, he glanced at Ah Qi, who was holding his collar and was a little cramped, and spoke
"Take off your clothes and go in."
