The chefs below began to stir-fry, and there was a clang, and the audience below was also very excited, but they didn't expect this stir-fry to look quite interesting.

The cooking of these chefs is indeed more ornamental, for example, the skill of spoon flipping has appeared in this era.

The judges also watched at this time, and the political envoy on the side smiled and said: "Mencius said that the gentleman is far away from cooking, but now it seems that there is a little less fun." ”

Hong Chengchou replied when he heard this: "Mencius's words are to exhort King Hui of Liang to kill less and be more benevolent, and this is a good word. ”

The political envoy said: "Yan Yan (Hong Chengchou's character) is really knowledgeable. ”

Hong Chengchou hugged his fists and said: "My lord praised it falsely, but the world misunderstands it a lot, and he doesn't want to delve into this way of cooking." ”

After listening to the words of the two adults, the prefect Zhang Jinru said: "It seems that in the future, if we have time, we should also learn from the Dongpo monks and taste the flavors of the world." ”

Hong Chengchou glanced at Zhang Jinru when he heard this, he didn't speak, but he had disdain in his heart, Shaanxi was about to be out of food, what else to learn Su Dongbo, a person with no ambitions.

Thinking about this, Zhang Jinshui on the side looked at Hong Chengchou and said, "Lord Hong, we are also thinking about it when we are idle, and the miscellaneous family has something to ask." ”

Hong Chengchou said: "Father-in-law, please speak." ”

"The miscellaneous family was ordered to come to Shaanxi to supervise the grain, and the summer grain will be delivered in more than a month, do you think Shaanxi will be able to fulfill His Majesty's will this year?"

Zhang Jinshui whispered, the political envoy and Zhang Jinru on the side heard it, but they all pretended not to hear it, officialdom is an official, and more things are better than less.

Hong Chengchou frowned at this time and said: "Father-in-law Zhang, Shaanxi is still suffering from disasters this year, but Father-in-law Zhang has increased taxes by sixty percent......"

"Lord Hong, the miscellaneous family doesn't want to listen to these useless words, they just want to ask your lordship if they can fulfill Your Majesty's instructions."

Hong Chengchou frowned, glanced at Zhang Jinshui and said, "My father-in-law is so inconsiderate of the people, I'm afraid that something will happen." ”

Zhang Jinshui sneered: "The miscellaneous family doesn't care about the big disaster, the miscellaneous family only knows that they can't live up to Your Majesty's trust, and Your Majesty can wait for this food to conquer Liaodong." ”

Hearing this, Hong Chengchou's brows furrowed, but he didn't say anything, but said: "I'll talk about this matter later, today we are the judges, or we will taste the dishes." ”

Zhang Jinshui glanced at Hong Chengchou, then nodded and said, "Lord Hong, you have to know in your heart, you have the emperor's grace, don't let down Your Majesty's trust." ”

Hong Chengchou pretended not to hear it at this time, and looked at the game without squinting, Zhang Jinshui's face darkened at this time, thinking to himself Hong Chengchou, you don't know what to do, otherwise, hehe......

Although Emperor Chongzhen doesn't believe in eunuchs now, he Zhang Jinshui is different, he is mixed with the great eunuch Wang Chengen, and he is a descendant of Emperor Chongzhen.

At this time, on the playing field, everyone else's dishes were almost the same, and Jin Qiaoniang took the mutton out of the marinade, drained the water, and then said to the young man on the side: "Fire." ”

The young man immediately began to burn the fire, the fire was burning, then pour rapeseed oil into the pot, heat the oil pot, and then immediately pour in the mutton, stir-fry for a minute, at this time the mutton has been eight ripe, put it out for later use, and then continue to pour oil into the pot, pour in the green onions, ginger and garlic to stir-fry the pot, stir-fry the fragrance, pour in the mutton, followed by pouring in white vinegar, sesame oil, sugar.

At this time, Jin Qiaoniang said: "Fire." ”

When the young man heard this, he pushed the bellows with his life, and suddenly the flame was the largest, and then Jin Qiaoniang quickly stir-fried the fire, followed by a little water starch thickening, and put it out.

So a plate of authentic modern scallion fried mutton out of the pot, the mutton color is red and bright, the green onion fragrance is tangy, the smell is appetizing, just from the color and fragrance, the color has an advantage, which has the credit of soy sauce.

At this time, the judges passed the dishes, and the judges tasted them one by one, these judges were pampered, and they were all masters who had eaten and seen, and at this time, the mutton entered their mouths, and several people tasted it carefully.

The first few judges were not satisfied, and they all took a bite and pushed aside, and the evaluation was just one word, generally, followed by the rich business judges below, who were responsible for determining six to ten.

At this time, the judges ate the scallion fried mutton from Chef Wang of Songxi Building, and the judges commented that the mutton flavor was very strong, and the bitterness of the salt was also masked, which was very good.

The judges nodded, followed by Zhang Degui of the Yellow Crane Tower, and the judges' eyes brightened as soon as they ate: "Okay,." ”

This Zhang Degui's fried lamb with green onions is very delicious, even better than Chef Wang in Songxi Building.

In the end, it was Jin Qiaoniang's turn, Jin Qiaoniang's dish was the slowest, so the last one was given to the judges to taste, in fact, this is a disadvantage, after all, the taste in front is too good, and it will make this dish worthless all of a sudden.

And after eating these scallion fried mutton, the judges have an instinctive adaptation to this taste, if it is not amazing, even if it is delicious, everyone will feel average.

However, when Jin Qiaoniang's scallion fried mutton was served, it immediately attracted everyone's attention, and this color was much better than Zhang Degui's, followed by several judges who picked up a chopstick and put it in their mouths.

Then I saw the political envoy and said, "Nen." ”

Zhang Jinru, the prefect of Xi'an, said: "Slippery." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded at this time and said, "Xian." ”

Even Zhang Jinshui raised his orchid finger at this time and said, "Okay." ”

Tender, these two points are the credit of starch, fresh is the credit of monosodium glutamate, as for Zhang Jinshui's good, it is completely an emotional vocabulary with feelings, good, really good.

The judges were full of praise, and the housekeeper of the Qin Wangfu here took a bite and said: "Okay, delicious, this is the most delicious scallion fried mutton that the old man has ever eaten in his life, even if we are the chefs of the Qin Wangfu, we can't make such a taste." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Jinshui said: "Don't talk about your Qin Palace, I have never eaten such delicious mutton in the palace." ”

The two of them were talking, and at this time, the early spring girl on the other side chewed the mutton and said: "This mutton is so tender, it seems that the juice in the mutton is locked, it is really delicious." ”

Winter Snow Girl took a bite at this time and said, "Okay." ”

Dongxue girl has always been dislike to smile, and at this time she replied simply, and soon the score came out, Jin Qiaoniang was directly rated as the first place, and at this time, Li Chaosheng distributed the remaining mutton in the pot to the audience below on a small plate.

After the audience ate this mutton, their eyes were all round, is this scallion fried mutton? Why are other fried lamb with green onions dry and astringent, and it doesn't taste good.

Jin Qiaoniang's scallion fried mutton, you can eat the tenderness of mutton in one bite, it is indescribably wonderful, delicious, so delicious.

All the audience expressed the highest appreciation for the fried mutton with green onions, and only a few people with unique tastes thought that this mutton was not as delicious as the fried by Chef Zhang Degui.

This is completely allowed, after all, no matter how good things are, others just don't like them, that's also allowed, and you can't deny other people's likes because of you.

A large part of the first round was eliminated, and the topic of the second stage came again, this time Li Chaosheng took the stage and said: "The God of Food Contest is a comparison of craftsmanship, and what can really see craftsmanship is often the simplest ingredients, and the second round of today's finals is: "Cabbage tofu." ”

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, cabbage stewed tofu, this is the most skillful dish, you make the lobster and abalone delicious, it is not a skill, because this thing is delicious when steamed.

But if you make cabbage tofu delicious, it is definitely a reflection of cooking skills, and the real effort is the basic dish.

As soon as this topic came out, everyone was stunned, they didn't expect it to be such a simple dish.

And this time the ingredients are simpler, a Chinese cabbage, a piece of brine tofu.

This dish is so ordinary, Zhang Degui and Chef Wang both frowned, how can such a dish win or lose, after all, this dish is very simple, there is almost no change, cabbage tofu, a handful of salt is over, what technical content can it have?

But since they have to compete, they also have to play some tricks.

In fact, Li Chaosheng chose this dish because the green vegetables can give full play to the almost cheating seasonings of MSG and oil consumption, if you compare it to a lobster, Li Chaosheng has no advantage, because the lobster is very delicious when steamed, adding oil consumption and monosodium glutamate, it is a snake to add enough.

Cabbage tofu, start making, cut the tofu into mahjong pieces, minced green onion and ginger, first put the tofu in the pot and cook the tofu.

Immediately after the Chinese cabbage is washed, sliced, and put into the tofu domestic goo, it must be grunted for a long time, otherwise the Chinese cabbage has a special smell.

Then pour it out for later use, heat the pan, put in the meat oil, then cut a small piece of pork belly, put it in the pot and stir-fry, after stir-frying the excess fat, add the green onion, ginger and garlic and stir-fry until fragrant, then pour the tofu and cabbage into the pot, add water to gudu, and put a handful of salt.

This is the right way to do it, and the three of them are doing this, but in the process of putting salt, Jin Qiaoniang secretly put some monosodium glutamate, and sprinkled a little chicken essence, two kinds of fresh seasonings, after putting in, the taste is directly doubled, Jin Qiaoniang tried, it is a kind of cabbage tofu should not have deliciousness.

When it was about to come out of the pot, Jin Qiaoniang secretly sprinkled some pepper, which could make the flavor richer.

The three of them almost came out of the pot together, after all, adding some seasoning will not delay the cooking time.

After some operations, three cabbage tofu were served to the judges' seats.

Many judges tasted Chef Wang's cabbage tofu in Songxi Building, which was not bad.

followed by Zhang Degui's cabbage tofu, at this time, the judges' eyes lit up, this cabbage tofu tasted without a trace of bitterness, and it was delicious.

It turns out that the salt used in this era is coarse salt, even if the so-called fine salt is ground coarse salt, there is still a bitter and astringent taste.

When Zhang Degui was making cabbage tofu, he put a little sugar, which was called frosting in this era to synthesize the taste.

At this time, Zhang Degui said his operation with a smile, and he was proud, after all, this kind of simple dish is about the details, and whoever deals with a little more details will win the game.

Thinking about it, Zhang Degui glanced at Jin Qiaoniang, this is the gap that you and I can't make up, experience.

Little girl, if you want to win the old man, let's practice for a few more years.

Zhang Degui thought, but at this time, Jin Qiaoniang looked at the judges with a smile, served her own cabbage tofu, and after many judges finished eating, they all glanced at each other, followed by Jin Qiaoniang and said, "Are you cabbage tofu?" ”

Jin Qiaoniang said: "That's right. ”

"Why is it so delicious?"

Jin Qiaoniang smiled and said, "I used a little exclusive seasoning." ”

Many judges didn't ask, and finally chose together, cabbage tofu Jin Qiaoniang won, and it was crushed without suspense.

Hearing the result, Zhang Degui's face was full of disbelief: "How is it possible!" ”

And Chef Wang of Songxi Building on the side also glared and said, "This is not right, her little girl has this skill?" ”

The two of them looked incredulous, and then Li Chaosheng came over with a smile and said, "If you don't believe it, you can taste it yourself." ”

Li Chaosheng motioned for the two to try Jin Qiaoniang's cabbage tofu, and the two went over to taste it at this time, followed by the two of them shouting in unison: "She cheats!" ”

Li Chaosheng smiled when he heard this: "She didn't." ”

"Impossible, her cabbage tofu obviously has the umami of chicken soup, she is a cabbage tofu cooked in chicken broth, but there is no chicken soup in the ingredients you provide! Not even a chicken. ”

Li Chaosheng laughed after hearing the words of the two: "In front of everyone's eyes, how can no one find out if she uses chicken soup, everyone can see it with their own eyes." ”

As soon as Li Chaosheng said this, someone immediately said: "Yes, she used the water that you beat from the same tank, and we saw it with our own eyes." ”

Hearing this, Zhang Degui said: "I can still taste the mistake, you can taste it." ”

Zhang Degui brought the cabbage and tofu he had just eaten, and Li Chaosheng saw this and said: "Come, one person will hold a bowl, anyway, I have made a lot, and I will taste it." ”

Li Chaosheng said, everyone tasted it together, followed by a burst of delicious, delicious, one after another, but among many people, there were indeed professional cooks, and then they took a bite and said: "Hey, that's right, this dish does have the taste of chicken soup." ”

"It smells like chicken soup, but people don't use chicken soup?"

Hearing this, a group of people frowned together, looking puzzled, strange, how could this be? If you don't use chicken soup, how can it taste like chicken soup?

A group of people were puzzled, but Jin Qiaoniang kept silent, Li Chaosheng saw that the situation was almost the same, and said: "Okay everyone, let's gossip." The conference has been results, after the jury unanimously decided, the winner of this conference is Jin Qiaoniang, everyone applauds and welcomes, our respected political envoy Zhang Daren awarded it the God of Food medal! ”

At this time, the political envoy got up, took the medal in the hand of the big and beautiful girl selected from the Yihong Courtyard on the side, handed it to Jin Qiaoniang, and then Li Chaosheng gave Jin Qiaoniang one hundred taels of silver on the spot on behalf of the organizer.

The second place is Zhang Degui of the Yellow Crane Tower, originally this award was Hong Chengchou's, but Hong Chengchou was not interested, so he let Zhang Jinshui and Zhang Gonggong snatch it away, put the second place medal, and then there were fifty taels of silver.

The third place was too lazy to name the king chef of Songxi Building, and the prefect Zhang Jinru presented a medal and twenty taels of silver.

After a busy time, the competition ended successfully, and at this time, just when everyone was about to leave, a drum suddenly sounded, followed by a sound of Dongxue, who was dressed in white, actually put away his hair and changed into a man's clothes.

Picked up a sword in his hand, and danced the sword dance in the field, and for a while everyone's eyes were attracted, the Guanzhong people of this era like heroic women, and don't like women who are too charming.

Because there has always been a feudal ideology that poisons them, that is, women who are too glamorous are not easy to support, and this kind of heroine is still preferred by everyone.

The big drum thundered, and the winter snow sword danced, which stunned a group of people around him, and everyone who watched it was relaxed and happy, even Li Chaosheng was a little moved, and everyone loved beautiful women.

At this time, the early spring girl pouted and said: "There are people who like male and female, hum." ”

……

The competition ended successfully, and the entire city of Xi'an was swiped by this matter, and at this time, the streets and alleys were talking about Yuxian Building, talking about how hard the backstage of Yuxian Building was, and who went to cheer that day.

Discuss how the craftsmanship of the beautiful female chef of Yuxian Lou is superb, and her skills surpass all the famous chefs on the spot, and win the title of the god of food.

On the day of the discussion, the two major Oiran of Yihong Courtyard performed on stage, one was a flower branch show, the other was a heroine, and the two beauty methods made people feel relaxed and happy.

All kinds of discussions immediately filled the streets and alleys of Xi'an, and the boss behind the Yuxian Building also became the object of speculation.

Who is this person, this backstage is too hard.

Yuxian Tower is on fire, not a small fire or a big fire, Li Chaosheng closed for a day on the day of the competition, dismantled the stove, and restored Yuxian Tower.

On the first floor of Yuxian Building, the lobby is restored to the previous scattered seats, and those who usually come to eat can enter.

The second floor has been changed into private rooms, a total of twelve private rooms, respectively named after the name of the flower, what is the spring, the spring, the summer lotus, the orchid......

And there is a standard for wanting to go up on the second floor, you must be a silver member of the Yuxian Building, and this silver member must recharge 1,000 taels of silver in the Yuxian Building, you can get the silver qualification, and go up to the second floor to eat.

And will give a silver VIP card made of one or two silver, the third floor is even more noble, there are only six private rooms, and it must be a gold VIP card.

This first recharge of 5,000 taels in Yuxian Building, and the second floor owner gave it away.

For example, the political envoy Zhang Daren, Hong Chengchou, the prefect of Xi'an Zhang Jinru, the great eunuch Zhang Jinshui, and the Qin Wangfu all sent a VIP card made of pure gold.

These VIP cards issued are all recorded, and there will be absolutely no mistakes.

As for the scattered seats downstairs, it is casual, and Li Chaosheng also cooperated with Yihong Academy, for example, you can invite the girls of Yihong Courtyard to come to Yuxian Mansion regularly to play and sing to enhance friendship.

As a result, Yuxian Lou has more performance stages, and people will perform regularly, and in order to enrich the stage content, they will regularly invite the storyteller to come to the story.

It can be said that Yuxian Tower is a big upgrade this time, and in order to expand, Li Chaosheng also took down a lot of houses near Yuxian Tower, and then opened them up, so the area of Yuxian Tower increased again.

After a few rounds of upgrades, the Yuxian Building has a new look, and the security work of the Yuxian Building is absolutely good, and a soldier who has seen blood in a company under the leadership of the battle hero Wang XII has protected the Yuxian Building without leaking.

A few days ago, there was a gangster known as Zhenxi'an, who brought more than 100 people to come over to collect protection money, Li Chaosheng began to let the old man settle down and calm the people, but he didn't expect these pranksters to be arrogant, and they actually threw the old man an ear scraper, Li Chaosheng was angry when he knew it, and said hello to Zhang Jinru who was eating.

Let Wang Twelve touch their nest with a company of people, and then there was no mercy at all, more than 100 people, slaughtered more than 70, and the rest were all scared to pee their pants, and the next day they knelt at the door of the Yuxian Building and kowtowed for a day, until a shopkeeper called Lao Tu came out and said: Get out.

All the talents ran around the tail like a lost dog, and from that day on, all the underworld in Xi'an Mansion walked around the Yuxian Building, and even sent someone over to send something to the captain of the Yuxian Building Security Brigade Wang Twelve during the New Year's Festival.

The framework of Xi'an Mansion Li Chaosheng is basically built, and now many people in Xi'an Mansion like to eat in Yuxian Tower, mainly Zhang Jinru likes to eat here, Hong Chengchou also often comes to eat, and the great eunuch Zhang Jinshui also often comes to eat.

This is what Li Chaosheng is very willing to see, although they don't spend much money to come, but it doesn't matter, how much can you eat, this is not a coastal area, you don't want to eat delicacies from the mountains and seas, the most here is mutton, pork, plus some seasonal vegetables.

To put it bluntly, this Yuxian Building is more like a farmhouse restaurant now, but there are condiments, and the taste here is very popular with these adults.

Therefore, everyone came to eat, everyone came to eat, and it was inevitable to discuss some officialdom news during the meal, Li Chaosheng pressed a bugging device in each room, and sent people to listen in a separate room downstairs.

With this, any useful information said by these officials cannot be a secret, and it will be known by Li Chaosheng, and Li Chaosheng can't wait to let these officials live upstairs.

Li Chaosheng has gotten a lot of useful news these days, such as Wang Jiayin has become bigger, such as a guy named Gao Yingxiang who just turned against him not long ago.

For example, Yang He has already set off and will arrive in Shaanxi at the end of this month.

For example, Zhang Jinshui was secretly ruthless, if Hong Chengchou did not give satisfactory food to the imperial court, he would definitely sue in front of Chongzhen, and everyone would be okay at that time.

Another example is that Hong Chengchou was forced to be a little cornered, and he seems to be plotting something recently, but he said it very vaguely.

Anyway, Li Chaosheng heard a lot, and Li Chaosheng stayed in Xi'an for a few days, and he also felt that Xi'an's arrangement was almost the same, so he left the telegraph and asked Lao Tu to stay as an intelligence agent to continue eavesdropping on the secret conversations of these officials.

At the beginning of June, Yang He arrived in Shaanxi and presided over the trilateral work, Xi'an officialdom was shaken, and Li Chaosheng decided to go home after a month's journey.

The focus was on Hong Chengchou, who looked at Li Chaosheng and said, "I'm leaving." ”

Li Chaosheng said: "Although Xi'an is good, it is not home, I am going back to Lantian." ”

Hong Chengchou nodded and said, "Well, you go back first, we should see each other again soon." ”

Li Chaosheng didn't understand what Hong Chengchou meant, but he still retired.

Li Chaosheng left, leaving a Nuoda industry, before leaving, Li Chaosheng left a warehouse of condiments for Yuxian Building, enough for Yuxian Lou for a year, and the key Li Chaosheng gave Wang Twelve, only he could open the warehouse, the condiments, and Li Chaosheng also gave an order, if someone wants to rob, a fire will be burned.

In addition to the condiments used in Yuxian Building, there are also mutton soup seasoning packets, don't underestimate this business, his income is not much worse than that of Yuxian Building, Yuxian Building takes a high-end road, playing similar to the club model of later generations, using collusion between officials and businessmen.

And the seasoning bag is purely sold for money, and it can also be exchanged for sheep and horses.

For example, in this line, Li Chaosheng went back and brought dozens of carts of farm tools, and these carts were all horses from the hands of the Mongols and the Tibetans.

In addition to horses, there are also sheep, and this time Li Chaosheng drove three hundred sheep back.

Wang Twelve stayed in Xi'an with a company, and after Li Chaosheng left the city, he met Li Chaolong, who rushed over, and everyone pressed together to go to Lantian.

And not far ahead, there were a thousand men and horses following, helping Li Chaosheng clear out the bandits who coveted these things on the road.

You must know that Shaanxi is now full of bandits, Lantian alone, there used to be six, and bandits are rampant in several surrounding counties, for example, there is a gust of bandits in Zhashui County, which is next to Lantian, and there are more than 2,000 soldiers and horses under his command.

Huaxian Cyberdang and sick Qin Qiong are also ruthless characters, and they all have one or two thousand people under their command.

What's even more fierce is Shangluo, who is a little farther away from Lantian, there are bandits with winged tigers, and there are 10,000 people and horses in their hands, but no one knows how much.

10,000 people, that's terrible.

Li Chaosheng now has less than 4,000 people, of course, if he really wants to fight, Li Chaosheng is not afraid of him.

Li Chaosheng and his entourage entered the territory of Lantian very safely, three hundred sheep, there were ewes in them, Li Chaosheng gave fifty points to the family of six valleys, the territory of Lantian is still very calm, the people are ready to harvest summer grain, but Li Chaosheng's field can not accept grain, because Li Chaosheng planted spring corn, which can only be harvested in autumn.

And these wheat growers can already harvest a stubble, Li Chaosheng has recently recommended people in Lantian County to follow up and plant corn, potatoes and so on.

Originally, everyone's enthusiasm was quite high, but when they saw that the seedlings in Li Chaosheng's field were still green in the summer, they suddenly lost confidence, and no one proposed to plant Li Chaosheng's corn anymore.

After all, people in this year have no ability to resist risks at all, and the long harvest period of corn, even if the yield is high, no one is willing to try it easily.

Li Chaosheng somewhat understands why, these grains, obviously Xu Guangqi has obtained the seeds two years ago, but he can't implement them in the capital, after all, your stuff is ripe too slowly, and it will be a torment for the people of this era.

This also made Li Chaosheng understand that it is not that advanced things must be willing to be tried by others, just like tomatoes, no one dares to taste them as soon as they come out.

That's why the first crab eater, and why it's great.

Li Chaosheng learned his lesson and encouraged the people of Yukou to work hard, and the people of Yukou were expanding the canals at this time, and they wanted to build some of the canals to the places where the land was spreading.

The summer grain was finally harvested, and the government came down to collect it, and then got a terrifying answer, this year, one acre of land will be collected four taels of silver.

Four taels of silver, this is almost all the harvest of one acre of land, which official has a sick brain to come up with a policy?

Li Chaosheng was stunned, but Li Chaosheng was not ready to hand it over, but took a letter of worship and met the magistrate of Lantian County, and the magistrate Zhang Dezheng began to ignore Li Chaosheng, a rich man in the countryside came to find him what to do.

But when he received the famous post, he saw that there was a letter from Zhang Jinru on the post, Zhang Dezheng immediately became official, Zhang Jinru and Li Chaosheng had a very good relationship, and the most critical one was that Li Chaosheng discovered Zhang Jinru's little habit of collecting spring palace pictures.

Merry people, everyone should understand, Li Chaosheng did what he liked, invited Zhang Jinru to dinner once, and gave Zhang Jinru two photo posters of two plaster country teachers purchased from special channels in the modern world.

A world wave, an angel cute, two photo pictures are too realistic, black silk, high heels, small leather whip......

Zhang Jinru was stunned when he saw it, his eyes widened and he said: There are still such people in the world who are good at painting, they are exactly the same as real people, you see that even the hair is clear.

Zhang Jinru was like a treasure at that time, you look at this and then look at the collection he collected, that kind of Spring and Autumn strokes, how can it be compared with this painting.

Zhang Jinru and his sons all flowed out, and the relationship with Li Chaosheng took a big step forward on the spot.

Of course, this kind of relationship is the kind that does not touch the core interests, or when the crisis affects himself, it is very iron, so Li Chaosheng proposed that he would return to Lantian and wanted him to help introduce the county magistrate.

Zhang Jinru agreed, so he had this similar letter of introduction, to the effect that Li Chaosheng and my buddy too, you have to take care of it, understand?

Zhang Jinru, the prefect of Xi'an, the top boss of Lantian County, the person who the top boss asked to take care of, did he dare not take care of Lantian County?

At this time, I saw that after Zhang Dezheng read the letter of introduction, he immediately said to the master: "Hurry up and invite Li Gongzi." ”

Soon Li Chaosheng was invited in, and Zhang Dezheng looked at Li Chaosheng and said first: "Li Gongzi." ”

Li Chaosheng hurriedly greeted him and said, "Lord Zhang." ”

The two of them were polite, Li Chaosheng brought a gift of two hundred taels, and the magistrate took the gift and said, "Gongzi Li is too polite, come and sit." ”

The two talked happily, and finally the magistrate understood the difficulties of Li Chaosheng's Tanggou Town, so with a stroke of the pen, the land tax burden of thousands of acres of land under Li Chaosheng's command became five hundred taels.

Originally, the land tax of several thousand taels was reduced in this way, and Li Chaosheng talked to the magistrate at this time about why the tax burden suddenly increased several times this year, and each mu of land became four taels of silver, and now the people of Shaanxi may not be able to pay it.

Hearing this, Zhixian smiled bitterly and said: "I don't know, I only know that it was an order from Lord Hong Chengchou, and the big seal of Zhang Jinshui's public use." ”

Li Chaosheng was stunned when he heard this, and then frowned, feeling that this matter was not simple, Hong Chengchou was ready to make a move?

Hong Chengchou should not be an official who cares about people's lives now, Li Chaosheng thought, said goodbye to the magistrate, and within two days of going back, the whole of Shaanxi spread.

This year, His Majesty levied Liaoxiang, the great eunuch Zhang Jinshui supervised the grain, and ordered Lord Hong Chengchou to collect four taels of silver per mu of land, Lord Hong did not dare to disobey, and gave this order, feeling ashamed of the people, and wanted to resign from the post of supervising grain and participating in politics in the imperial court.

Hearing this news, Li Chaosheng was stupid, Hong Chengchou was ruthless, this is to be punished, Zhang Jinshui's life will not be long.
