Chapter 497: Drinking Soup

Bai Lao's words were only halfway through, he looked at Xue Ren in front of him and didn't continue, as if he was considering.

"In my opinion, this decision of the King of the Sun is indeed an epoch-making achievement, and if it can be successfully realized, after a period of recuperation, the Sun will inevitably become the most powerful and unprecedented country in the world. ”

Bai Lao paused again, "But Longhui and they are not fools, you must know that the Yanyang Kingdom has just started, but Longhui is already an ancient country that has been developed for hundreds of years, and they were still afraid of three points when King Xinghua was still there, but now, the old king has passed away, and the Yanyang King is still young, I'm afraid they won't sit back and watch from the side." ”

Xue Ren nodded, of course he understood that if he wanted the normal and unhindered development of Yanyang, he had to find a way to consolidate the border defense.

Only when the problem of homeland security is solved can they have room for development, otherwise, their side is vigorously building stone dwellings, and they will lead troops to fight.

"I understand Bai Lao's concerns, but since I have proposed this transformation plan, I naturally have a corresponding solution. ”

Xue Ren intentionally or unintentionally touched the ring in his hand.

This is what he relies on, these fire demons can be worth thousands of horses and thousands of troops, unless Long Hui is also at all costs, but the group of theologians who want to control Long Hui's territory dare not make such a gamble.

"I know that as a big family leading the various cities, you are reluctant to give up the power and status you have in your hands.

I would like to reassure you that, although I have abolished the privileges of all nobles, I have not deprived you of the right to compete upwards like everyone else. ”

Xue Ren smiled and looked at Bai Lao, maybe Bai Lao could understand the purpose of this.

Who is Bai Lao, he has already seen through Xue Ren's plan, although he deposed the right of the hundred families to dictate and dictate, but the family is still a family after all, and the emaciated camel is bigger than the horse.

It is still up to them to take care of these cities, but they have divided half of the rights, so as to strengthen Xue Ren's position.

At the same time, it can also be used to stimulate the self-motivation of ordinary people, usually the people in the city only care about what to eat all day long, and this year whose old people and children were eliminated from the city.

I have never fantasized about ascending to a high position and becoming a human being, because the family is dead on their heads

The officials of a city, except for the most basic soldiers, are basically the children of major families.

Among them, there are some people who do nothing.

"Maybe so, but Your Majesty's actions have greatly weakened the power of our big families, and in the long run, our family's voice will gradually weaken, so that it will be completely eliminated by the times in the future. ”

Lu Guangzhi also saw it thoroughly, although it did not have much impact on their family's rights and interests for a while, but in the future, when people moved out of the moat and moved into the stone dwelling, everything would be turned upside down at that time.

Talent heroes will be like frogs after the rain, actively jumping out of the deep pond and revealing to the ground.

"After all, this is our Yanyang, I just want everyone in the world to know that as long as you have real talent and hard work, you can occupy a place in Yanyang.

But your Lu family is different from other clans, you provided the method of building the stone residence, and you are a great devotee to the great cause of the ages, and the name of Sister Xinmeng will be engraved in the history books.

People have life and death, clans have survival, and the country will not escape the day of change.

But this history will never change. ”

Xue Ren's words obviously couldn't impress everyone in the Lu family, in their eyes, how could they be compared to the family from generation to generation.

The name is also engraved on a piece of paper or a stone, but one is written by outsiders, and the other is recorded by the elders of their Lu family.

Lu Yi saw that the atmosphere in the house was not very harmonious, there was no way, the interests of the family were above everything else or even far above the country, this was the education they had received since childhood.

"The dish is here!" Lu Yi looked at the waiters who walked in from outside the door, each of them holding a plate of exquisite dishes in their hands.

A tall, thin man with a face that is the type that is immediately forgotten at a glance in the crowd.

He walked in at the back of the line with a large bowl of hot soup.

"Soft-shelled turtle soup, this is the most famous in our Lubai City. Lu Yi said to Xue Ren with a smile.

Someone who came to put the hot soup on the table slowly, ordinary people are afraid that it is difficult to bear this heat, probably because this person has been in contact all year round, and his fingers are already accustomed to the heat.

His face was expressionless, which became the only trace of defeat in the eyes of the single general.

However, this man did not do anything, and when Shan Jiang saw him walk out, he secretly took off some precautions.

"Soft-shelled turtle soup?" Shan Jiang stood up and rushed in front of Lu Yi to present a bowl of himself, "When I was in the capital, I heard that the soft-shelled turtle soup in Lubai City has a strong soup flavor and white meat, and I really have to taste it today." ”

Lu Yi didn't say anything, just asked the order to try first.

Shan Jiang put the soft-shelled turtle soup to his mouth and smelled the taste first, but in fact, he was observing whether there was any unusual color in the soup.

Although I didn't see anything, many of the poisons were colorless and tasteless, and I couldn't be sure if there was any poison in this soup for a while.

"Corps Commander, how does it taste?" Lu Yi asked General Shan.

Shan Jiang took a sip and did not answer after a moment.

Then after tasting it again, he slowly replied, "Fresh, it's really the best in the soup." ”

Lu Yi laughed and asked Lu Xinmeng to present a bowl to the rest of the Lu family present.

"Your Majesty, too, try it. ”

Xue Ren nodded, just looking at the light soft-shelled turtle soup in front of him, it seemed that the taste was indeed delicious, but he was not very interested in these things by nature.

In order to give Lu Yi a face, he just took a shallow taste, "It's quite delicious, but I'm a natural person who doesn't like to eat these fish and insect food, so it's really a waste of Lu Yi's kindness." ”

Lu Yi was slightly stunned, he also knew that Xue Ren didn't like this kind of river fresh, and said again and again, the minister is guilty, and the minister deserves to die.

"I immediately told the cook to make another soup. ”

"No need," Xue Ren shook his head and said, "Just drink some tea." ”

Lu Yi resolutely disagreed, and insisted on asking people to make a soup again.

The ordinary person who served the soup before walked in and asked in a low voice, "What does the city lord command?"

"Help me tell Master Liu and let him make a bowl of thick soup with the best pork. ”

The ordinary man nodded in agreement and walked out again.

Xue Ren said apologetically, "It's troublesome City Lord Lu again." "Hundred Plating" Find the Flower Spirit Claw Book House" The latest chapter is free to read for the first time.
