Chapter 152: War

It is inevitable to say that the city is rich, after all, it is the center of the city. Almost all the dignitaries and nobles of Guanping Mansion are here.

But if you want to say that it is poor, it is reasonable, after all, there are so many victims sitting in the corner.

Wen Xian suddenly felt that the sugar gourd in her hand was no longer fragrant.

This sense of separation made her deeply understand what it means to have a stinky wine and meat in Zhumen, and there are frozen bones on the road.

And she felt that a person as poor as herself had become a rich person by eating a sugar gourd.

Zhu Qing, who greeted the guests in the restaurant, saw the two of them stunned at the door, and hurriedly came out to greet them.

"Did the two sons sleep well last night?" Zhu Qing arched his hand and said, "Let's go in first, there are many people outside." ”

The news of the big event in the restaurant today not only attracted customers, but also attracted many peddlers and pawns to come to the door to set up stalls and watch the excitement.

What's more, it even attracted some disaster victims, just to get some food later.

Zhu Qing took them to the corner of the back kitchen, and Wen Xian wondered: "Those outside, are they really disaster victims?" ”

Zhu Qing nodded and said, "Yes, they all escaped from the north. The war in the north has caused many people to be displaced.

The prefect of Guanping was kind-hearted and allowed them to enter the city to beg for food. but only begging and working, and not stealing. ”

If someone is found to have stolen it, they will be expelled from the house and will not be allowed to enter again.

There are too many people to be resettled. It is better to let them into the city than to wander to the surrounding towns and villages, so as not to bring disaster to the surrounding people.

"Didn't the Great Qin Kingdom die a year ago and end the war?" Wen Xian said strangely, "Why are there still disaster victims now?" ”

The new emperor is too incompetent, and he hasn't finished cleaning up the mess for so long.

Zhu Qing shook his head and explained in a low voice: "No, Emperor Cao ascended the throne a year ago and was opposed by many people.

Therefore, so far, we are still the Great Qin State. Only the year name was changed to prosperity, and now it is the second year of prosperity.

After Emperor Xingsheng succeeded to the throne, he killed many courtiers, which caused dissatisfaction among bureaucrats everywhere. Those who have some power in their hands want to enclose the land as the king and not submit to the prosperous emperor. ”

Although there are more wealthy people in Fucheng, the situation is also more complicated. He had to greet the Wen Xian sisters in advance, lest they run into walls everywhere and get into trouble.

"Hiss~" Wen Xian gasped, "So, there are too many ambitious people, and everyone is fighting for power and profit, which has caused a lot of wars and caused the displacement of people?" ”

It's hard to put into words.

This emperor is not as good as her cheaper son.

Although the cheap son is known as a tyrant, it has also deterred many people.

In addition, there are many old ministers who are loyal, such as the samurai. These officials below do not dare to compete for power and profit as blatantly as they do now.

Zhu Qing sighed and said: "That's true, it's just that the officials of our Guanping Mansion don't have the ambition of this wolf, they all protect themselves and live their lives behind closed doors."

Therefore, the Sun Pavilion was not affected much, only the profit was less.

The victims of the disaster can also be collected, and those who cannot be collected are driven out of the house. This year, many victims of the disaster have found work to feed their families, and fewer and fewer people have come out to beg. ”

The upper and lower effects, the officials at the top protect themselves, and the rich families at the bottom also live a low-key life.

In this way, of course, the business of the restaurant will not be good. Unless, there is something particularly attractive.

"Tsk." Wen Xian said curiously, "It's all messed up inside, and those neighboring countries don't react?" ”

When it is easy to attack the next country, it must be when Daqin is so chaotic now.

If she was the emperor of a neighboring country, she would definitely start to encroach on the Great Qin State little by little. The higher-ups, who don't have a little ambition yet.

"Absolutely." Zhu Qing glanced at Wen Xian, and said with a complicated expression, "Our former queen mother knows, it is said that she has the same surname as the eldest prince, and she also has the surname Wen." From the newly rising steppe tribe, now called the Kingdom of Jin.

The current king of the Jin Kingdom is the brother of the Empress Dowager Wen. Last year, I heard that Empress Dowager Wen was exiled to death, and directly raised troops to seize our ten cities to avenge my sister. ”

Chong Guan is angry as a sister, and there are signs of continuing to raise troops.

The grassland country was so brave that it directly scared off the other two countries that also wanted to make up their minds.

Wen Xian's eyelids jumped slightly, and she said quietly: "That's really powerful, where did they beat down?" ”

If she remembers correctly, the prairie of the original owner's hometown should be in the location of Inner Mongolia, the northernmost part.

And the capital is also in the north.

Ten cities have already been conquered, and she suspects that if she continues like this, she is afraid that she will have to knock down the capital.

"Ten cities directly north." Zhu Qing smiled bitterly and said, "However, we can only talk about these things in private." This kind of thing is not something that we ordinary people can stop.

I am also telling you this to let you know the current situation first. ”

"Let's talk about these in private, don't mention them when you go out." He continued, "I see that the layout is almost there, why don't you start now?" ”

More is better than less, he doesn't want to know the true identity of Wen Xian and them, and he doesn't want to get involved.

He will run his own industry well, and just take his father and sister out as soon as possible.

"Yes, young man Qing will lead the way." Wen Xian nodded and said, "Take us to see the ingredients and the chef first, I have to mix the ingredients first." ”

It doesn't matter what he looks like on the outside, all she wants to do now is make money.

As for the warlike cheap brother, let him be. He was too busy fighting for the city to worry about her.

There is only one chef in the Sun Pavilion in Fucheng, surnamed Zhu, and I heard that someone in the ancestor is an imperial chef.

The others were all disciples he brought with him, as well as those who worked in the kitchen.

Chef Zhu was originally arrogant and looked down on most cooks, thinking that the dishes he fried were the best.

When he got Wen Xian's recipe, he was still very disdainful. But after the actual operation, he found that he was narrow-minded.

During the period after getting the recipe, Chef Zhu kept trying and improving every day, striving to do better and better.

It's a pity that after Zhu Qing tasted it, he always felt that something was missing, and it was not as good as Wen Xian's frying.

Seeing that Zhu Qing brought Wen Xian over, Chef Zhu hurriedly said enthusiastically: "I have seen Chef Wen, and it is Zhu's luck that Chef Wen can come all the way to Fucheng." ”

Stealing from the master to learn the arts, or the cooking skills are higher than the imperial chef, he is very excited. If it hadn't been mentioned in advance by the owner, he would have immediately knelt down and called the master.

Wen Xian hurriedly replied: "Master Zhu is polite, don't be busy with the others first, let's mainly make salmon and lobster later." Master Lao Zhu selected a few people to help with it. ”

"Whew, who's going to choose?" Chef Zhu hurriedly waved his hand and said, "I'll just do it for Chef Wen." I'm a good cook, and I'm better than those hairy boys. ”

I went to the breakfast shop again today and told the boss that I was not feeling well after drinking her porridge yesterday. As a result, she told me that this was from a food factory, and they didn't advocate selling this porridge. Because the house next door is selling, someone always asks to sell it, and I am speechless......
