As a person of the same era as General Suzaku, and even a close friend.

He knew all too well what the letter meant.

In connection with the recent Jiangdong intelligence, it can be said that Jiangdong has completely separated from Datang.

Not a city, not a group, but an entire county.

Koto... The entire Jiangdong has an almost crazy follow for that man.

Even if there is no news of that man, as long as they are given a little information about that man, they will follow him enthusiastically.

He knows too well, too well ...

"The enemy who didn't want to be the enemy, in the end, became...."

Li Xiaogong was stunned, and he couldn't calm down for a long time.

"General?"

After a few more shouts, Li Xiaogong came back to his senses.

"Ah, sorry, sorry."

Li Xiaogong said sorry, and then sighed: "Let me ask you, if one day, General White Tiger becomes your enemy, what will you do?" ”

The scout was slightly stunned: "General White Tiger, he is the guardian saint of our Youzhou, how can he become an enemy?" Impossible! ”

He was born in Youzhou, grew up under the protection of General White Tiger, and has a burning confidence in General White Tiger, and that general will definitely not become an enemy.

Li Xiaogong smiled bitterly: "I know, let's go down." ”

"Yes!"

The scout was ordered to retreat.

After he left, Li Xiaogong couldn't help but sigh: "White Tiger, you have become the enemy of Datang." ”

"Think about it, after all....Your Highness was sent away by His Majesty."

In the letter, it was said that General Baihu appeared on the battlefield of Liaodong City, and it can be determined that General Baihu was fighting for Yanguo.

General White Tiger ....

For the whole Youzhou, it is of great significance.

Just like the soldier just now, he didn't hesitate to say that it was impossible to be an enemy.

Li Xiaogong was not sure what kind of accident would happen if the news reached the Youzhou military camp.

He wasn't sure, and he didn't dare bet.

So Li Xiaogong plans to hide this news and keep it out of the public for the time being.

"Yan Country, what kind of country is it...."

"Yang Kuan, who is it? If you can let you surrender to the White Tiger, will you avenge the Tang Dynasty for Your Royal Highness? Time, and how long will it take to come back? ”

Li Xiaogong's eyes flickered, and he felt more and more that the magical country of Yanguo should not be underestimated.

Even....

It is more terrible than Goguryeo and Tibet!

And in the afternoon, Li Xiaogong received another bad news.

"What did you say, those people who secretly left went to the Yan Country?"

Li Xiaogong was stunned.

Recently, due to the locust crisis in Datang, although the imperial court is working hard to rescue and open a warehouse for disaster relief, this year's harvest in Youzhou is afraid that it will be gone, and it is foreseeable that many people will still starve to death.

At this time in previous years, in this case, there would also be many people fleeing the Tang Dynasty, and their whereabouts....maybe they took refuge in Goguryeo, maybe they took refuge in Liang and so on.

And among them, there are more people who take refuge in the Liang State, after all, it is the position of Empress Xiao and her grandson, and it is the only Han country outside the Tang Dynasty, so they go the most.

In view of this situation, when the locust plague appeared this year, Li Xiaogong had already foreseen the future of the northern territory, and many people would flee the Tang Dynasty.

Although foreseeable, but!

There are so many escapes this year!

It's more than the sum of the past few years, so Li Xiaogong sent someone to find out what was going on.

It's okay if I didn't check it, but I was shocked when I checked it, and I actually ran away to Yanguo!!

That....the Yan country that he couldn't fear!

Those people, it's good to flee anywhere, why is it Yanguo!!

"Message....Is it confirmed?"

Li Xiaogong stared at the spies who came to report.

The spy half-knelt down and said: "General, in order to find out the reason, our people have mixed into the desert escape team in batches, and the final direction of these escape teams is Yanguo!" ”

"Even...."

The spy was a little embarrassed to say this.

Li Xiaogong's eyes widened, and he said calmly: "Say!" ”

"Yes!"

The spy sighed, and then sighed, "Even our people, some of them....are no longer in contact. ”

"Dead? Discovered by the Yan Country? ”

"It's not....they....they are, joined, Yanguo...."

Boom!!

The voice fell.

Li Xiaogong stood up directly from his position, his face full of disbelief: "Joined the Yan Country? ”

Hearing this, the spy was ashamed and said, "Yes...."

His voice was weak.

After all, those people were all trained by him, and he boasted to Li Xiaogong at the beginning, saying that they could be sure that they were 100% loyal to the Tang Dynasty, enough to be competent for all kinds of spy work, and they could also be loyal to the Tang Dynasty.

Outcome....

But there are people who betray Datang....

This is equivalent to a police officer in later generations, who sent someone to infiltrate the black road, and went undercover for many years but became the black road.

Such a situation will naturally make the police officer lose face and even be questioned about his ability to employ people.

The spy in front of Li Xiaogong thinks so.

Shame, you can't use people....

He didn't dare to face Li Xiaogong squarely.

"How many people have joined the Yan country."

Li Xiaogong took a deep breath and asked with anger suppressed.

The spy shook his head: "Not sure, it's still under investigation." ”

"Check, quickly find out how many people there are! I also want to find out, what is the situation in Yanguo, can make the most loyal soldiers of our army also....turn against each other! ”

Check, check!

Everything, too, must be checked!

Li Xiaogong wanted to know more than anyone what the situation was in that Yan country.

….….….….….….

In the afternoon.

Cheng Yanjin led the captives, as well as the lieutenant Chi Jingde and others who escorted them, all of whom had already arrived in Youzhou.

Chai Shao went to greet him.

thought that for the rest of their lives after the catastrophe, Cheng Biting Jin and they would be very happy.

But when Chai Shao went this time, he found that everyone was depressed, Cheng Yanjin and his soldiers were like this, and even Wei Chi Jingde, who went out to greet Da Lao Hei with a smile.

A dull atmosphere spread in this army.

"This, what's wrong with this? Why do you all look like dead people? ”

"It's hard to come back, and I'm all happy."

Chai Shao laughed and tried to change the mood of the two.

However, Wei Chi Jingde looked at him and said, "Chai Shao, do you think....can you eat pork?" ”

"Eat pork? What kind of cheap meat is that, how is it possible! ”

"So....what about both men and women studying in the academy? And it's half to half. ”

"....Girls studying? Don't be kidding, they can just stay in the boudoir, if it is necessary to learn piano, chess, calligraphy and painting, it is the strange woman that men in the world fiercely pursue. ”

"Yes, it can't be....then, what about our underground road is no longer a dirt road, but a kind of road called Shibai?"

"It can be done, but how much time does it take? No kidding, no, Wei Chi Laohei, what the hell do you want to do? Why do you keep asking these weird questions. ”

Chai Shao didn't understand.

As far as the ones asked by Wei Chi Jingde were all in the clouds for him, it was very unrealistic.

And some, even more fantastical.

For example, pork, there is not enough food in the world, most people are hungry, and many people starve to death every month every year, so everything that can be developed is developed.

Pork is such cheap meat, and ordinary people are about to starve to death and don't eat it, let alone put it on the stage.

It is even more impractical that both men and women are studying in the same school!

For thousands of years, officials and generals have been held by men, and occasionally a woman can be produced, and that is enough for people to talk about for thousands of years, enough to see what is valuable.

So, it's even more impossible!

Chai Shao thought that Yu Chi Jingde was joking, but seeing that his face was still solemn, he immediately cleaned up his amusement mentality, and said seriously: "Yu Chi Lao Hei, what's going on?" ”

"Isn't it....something is wrong?"

Wei Chi Jingde glanced at him leisurely and sighed: "These, according to Lao Cheng, in that Yan Country, are all ....really exist...."

Rumble!

As soon as these words came out, Chai Shao's eyes widened instantly, and his heart felt like he had been hit by five thunderbolts.

Really....really exists?

This! How is this possible!!

He couldn't believe it, but when he saw that the faces of the two of them didn't seem to be fake, he instantly realized the seriousness of the problem.

"What the hell is going on? Lao Cheng, what did you see in that land? ”

Chai Shao asked seriously.

Afterwards, Cheng Yanjin began to tell about his experience in the Yan Country, a magical experience.

Chai Shao's face became more and more solemn from the beginning of seriousness, and in the end, he directly changed into the appearance of Wei Chi Jingde.

Dignified, depressed.

He was assimilated.

Paragraph after paragraph of things that he thought were impossible, happening in that land, it was a scenery that Datang had never seen, how could it be different?

"It's a big problem."

"This Yan Country....has great potential and should not be underestimated."

Chai Shao thought for a while and continued to speak: "Lao Cheng, during this time, I want to trouble you, don't rest, ride your horse quickly, rush back to Chang'an day and night, and tell Your Majesty the news." ”

"What do you think?"

Cheng Yanjin sighed: "Chai Shao, I don't need you to say it, my old Cheng also thinks so." ”

"This matter is too important, I need to let Your Majesty know as soon as possible."

Subsequently, he talked a lot about Yanguo, and Chai Shao quickly found the best horse for Cheng Yanjin and asked him to rush back to Chang'an City day and night.

They want to use the fastest speed to let the imperial court know the potential and terror of the Yan Kingdom.

to, Cheng bites the gold, dictates ....

Letters can't convey much emotion, and dictation is even more moving.

It is necessary to let the Tang Dynasty know that Cheng Biting Jin, the one he has seen with his own eyes, the magical country....

….….….….….….

Chang'an City.

More than two months have passed since Princess Changle and her relatives, and since she left, Li Shimin has remembered his daughter's sacrifice, and he didn't dare to stop for a moment, and fell into a state of work crazily.

With his efforts, Quyuan plough was finally no longer filled with private pockets, and it was certain that the people were holding the first-hand Quyuan plough in their hands, and the locust plague was slowly suppressed.

A small number of refugees from Youzhou and the north fled from the Tang Dynasty, and many more went south to various cities, among which Chang'an City received the most refugees.

Li Shimin also sent people to take care of them one by one, no matter how big or small.

In the end....

After the turmoil two months later, his Li Shimin's reputation is getting better step by step.

"It's finally going in a good direction."

Li Shimin stretched his waist, full of pride, and then seemed to think of something, and became melancholy: "Changle, have you seen it, your sacrifice, my father....didn't let it sacrifice in vain...."

A sigh, full of sorrow.

At this time, Fang Xuanling walked in.

"Your Majesty, it's time, it's time for us to go."

Fang Xuanling said.

Li Shimin nodded: "Okay." ”

The place I went to this time was Chuhe Village.

After the war there, I don't know why, a month ago, Fang Xuanling asked him to repair it, what was the specific reason, Li Shimin asked him and didn't say, only said that His Majesty would definitely think it would be useful at that time.

This kind of unclear intention, but also in the eyes of the most suitable person in the Tang Dynasty, to send someone to help Fang Xuanling, the emperor will not agree.

But with his belief in Fang Mou, although Li Shimin did not know his intentions, he still agreed.

Now that a month has passed, yesterday Fang Xuanling told him that he wanted to invite him to see Chuhe Village.

Li Shimin still couldn't ask why, and then thought that Qu Yuanli was found from Chuhe Village, so he agreed to Fang Xuanling's invitation.

The two walked on the palace road.

Li Shimin couldn't help but ask: "Xuan Ling, what is hidden in the mysterious?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Your Majesty went, everything will be clear." ”

Fang Xuanling said so, and Li Shimin didn't bother to continue asking.

Anyway, there will be an answer.

As soon as he walked out of the palace gate, he was greeted by several carriages, and the eldest grandson Wuji, Wei Zheng, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui and others were also there.

Even Empress Changsun was invited.

"Your Majesty?"

Several people were surprised when they saw Li Shimin.

In other words, when they saw each other, for example, Qin Qiong saw the eldest grandson Wuji, it was also an accident.

They all thought that Fang Xuanling was only inviting themselves, but they didn't expect others to invite them as well.

repeatedly asked Fang Xuanling about the reason, but there was no result.

Especially Du Ruhui, who asked for a long time and didn't ask.

It's mysterious.

"Auxiliary, Guanyin, you....are you also there?"

Li Shimin was also stunned, and then looked at Fang Xuanling: "Xuanling, this is also your arrangement?" ”

Fang Xuanling said with a smile: "Yes, Your Majesty, and all of you, please follow me to Chuhe Village." ”

Hearing this, everyone didn't ask much, they all walked into the carriage, and then drove to Chuhe Village.

Today's Chuhe Village is different from the ruins of a few months ago, and it is populated again.

There are too many refugees in Chang'an City to settle them, so some people have been arranged to move in here.

The road is lively.

Although it is incomparable to the former Chuhe Village, it is also very lively.

Since Li Shimin and his entourage were all wearing civilian clothes, naturally no one recognized them, and the people on the road looked at them extraordinary, at most they thought that they were a noble son or a noble master.

And these can be seen everywhere in Chuhe Village.

Not unusual.

After all, Chuhe Village used to be a well-known existence, so there are still many nobles who visit it every day.

It's like a scenic spot in later generations, it has been glorious in history no matter how unbearable, and naturally there will be many rich people to visit.

"It's really good, Chuhe Village now."

Li Shimin was amazed.

"Haha, yes!"

"It can be seen that the people are very happy."

"Not bad, not bad, it's just a little bit of brilliance for the people of our Chang'an City."

“…….”

Many ministers have spoken up to echo this.

This is not a compliment, but the demeanor of the people on the road, which is worthy of their praise.

Continuing to walk all the way, I saw a lot of scenery, most of which were restored by Fang Xuanling in the later period, looking at those landscapes, so that Li Shimin and others deeply felt that things are wrong.

In the past, when the king of Chu was here, they also came, but they didn't expect that later they would become the executioners who destroyed these.

Especially Li Shimin, his head was buried low, and he didn't dare to look at the scenery that could evoke memories.

Keep walking, keep walking....

Before I knew it, half an hour had passed, and it was time to eat.

Just hearing the sound of "coo", Du Ruhui's stomach couldn't help but scream, which couldn't help but make him blush a little.

"Hey, Keming is hungry, think about it, Your Majesty, it's time for us to eat!"

Fang Xuanling said with a smile.

Then, leading the people, they finally arrived at the place where they were eating.

This is in a side yard.

It was specially built by Fang Xuanling, and the subordinates in it also came out of the palace.

Everyone sat down in the side courtyard.

Li Shimin grabbed Fang Xuanling, who was about to leave, and couldn't help asking, "Xuanling, what the hell are you doing?" ”

"Along the way, although there are many characteristics, but....it's not worth it, and there are auxiliary machines for them to visit."

Fang Xuanling smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry, don't worry....wait a while, you will know." ”

Fang Xuanling said so again....

Li Shimin was helpless, so he let him go.

I secretly said in my heart, Fang Xuanling, you kid, it's best to do something practical!

Soon, a subordinate from the side courtyard came in with dishes and chopsticks.

One by one they were placed on the table.

Fang Xuanling smiled and knocked on the edge of a pot with his hand.

"Your Majesty, the Queen Mother, and all of you, you came suddenly, I haven't been here for a long time, and I really can't find so many plates for a while."

"Why don't you just make do with a meal like this? There are boiled vegetables in this pot, and I will wait for one person to eat a bowl, which is enough to satisfy my stomach. ”

Fang Xuanling stood up, stirred the food in the pot with a spoon, and said with a smile.

Steaming.

Scented!

Li Shimin sniffed it, nodded, and said with a smile: "Yes, no problem, I'll leave it to you to arrange." ”

"Your Majesty, first, bring your bowl over." Fang Xuanling said.

Li Shimin brought the bowl over.

Fang Xuanling put two big spoons and filled the empty bowl.

Meat, vegetables, soups.

This bowl, everything.

Li Shimin carefully brought it over, picked up a flatbread again, and felt a rumbling sound in his stomach.

Although there is a lot of food, there is a lot of soup, and mixed vegetables and meat are scarce.

Nowadays, the people of the whole world do not have much to eat. As the emperor of the Tang Dynasty, he also leads by example, so this meal can be said to be the most abundant dishes he has seen recently.

Although he wanted to say to Fang Xuanling that this was too extravagant and wasteful, but when he thought about it, this might be specially arranged by Fang Xuanling, so he didn't feel a piece of his mind.

Eating.

Li Shimin was slightly stunned.

This taste....

Don't look at most of the soups in this food, some of them are simple, but the taste is really good.

Li Shimin couldn't help but speak.

Think about the time when life was good, the meals in the palace, although one was better than the other, but it was definitely not as delicious as this.

The taste must be far from good!

The eldest grandson queen, the eldest grandson Wuji, they are also full of bowls.

Especially the rice bucket Du Ruhui, who barked in his stomach all the way, saw what he was eating, and directly compacted the rice that was served, and one bowl was almost the weight of two bowls of others.

"Eat, everyone, it's not enough to add more, I've already told the back kitchen to keep doing it, so there's still a lot more in the back kitchen."

Fang Xuanling also served himself a bowl.

He picked up a flatbread, tore some of it and soaked it in the soup, and ate it in a big gulp.

Li Shimin couldn't help it, picked up a big chopstick dish, and ate it in one bite.

Eating....

Gulping down.

The soup is cross-flowing.

The flatbread also learned Fang Xuanling's actions just now, put it in the bowl, dipped it in the soup, and then took a big bite.

This taste is absolutely amazing!

For a while, there was a lot of sound of "sucking" and drinking soup.

No one spoke.

Because they can't even speak.

It's all food.

"Shhh

Li Shimin let out a voice of satisfaction.

How long has it been?

A full bowl of rice has already been half eaten by him.

"Xuan Ling, it's not quite right, what kind of meat is this, it's so delicious, and it's fragrant, it's too fragrant!"

"The whole is fat but not greasy, and this lean part is also delicious, so delicious! Mixed with these soups, I really feel like my soul is going to tremble! ”

Li Shimin rubbed his stomach, and while he was talking, he ate another big bite of meat.

Mouth full of oil.

The delicious food made him almost forget the purpose of Fang Xuanling bringing him here today.

"Yes, Xuan Ling, the old man has been to a lot of places in his life, and he has eaten a lot of good things, almost all the meat in the world has been eaten, such as sheep on the Turkic side, venison on the Tibetan side, and even bear meat."

"But....I've never eaten such fragrant meat, it's fragrant, it's so fragrant! It tastes better than all that meat! ”

The eldest grandson Wuji drank a large mouthful of soup, also looked up at Fang Xuanling, and asked with great novelty.

This meat is really different.

He could tell that he had never eaten it.

"Yes, Xuan Ling, this meat is a bit difficult to control, even if you are full, you can't help but want to eat more, dare to ask....what kind of meat is this?"

Empress Eldest Sun also asked with a smile.

"Beautiful, so beautiful, this bowl of rice, with meat, vegetables and soup, and then eating flatbread, is much more delicious than those so-called delicacies of the mountains and seas!"

Wei Zheng finished eating the flatbread in his hand, and when he spoke, he took another one.

"There's something strange about this meat." Qin Qiong smashed her mouth: "It's more fragrant than all the meat I eat, and it's more fragrant than mutton." ”

Du Ruhui was beside him, and while a few people were talking, he added a big spoonful to himself.

You guys discuss it, I'll just eat it.

That's what he was thinking.

The other side.

Fang Xuanling wiped his mouth, patted his stomach, and then said happily: "Your Majesty, and everyone, this meat, which is actually very common, is pork." ”

He didn't hide anything, he just said it.

"Your Majesty, since it's delicious, eat more, this meat is not worth much in today's Chuhe Mansion, or even in Kaifeng City."

Fang Xuanling picked up the teapot and poured himself a cup.

When you're full, have another cup of tea.

These days are really much more comfortable than in the house by himself.

Fang Xuanling is still immersed in the beauty of eating and drinking.

But....

Smack!

The chopsticks in Li Shimin's hand fell directly to the ground.

He looked at Fang Xuanling in a daze, his eyes were bigger than the copper bell, and his eyeballs seemed to be about to burst out.

Not only him, but also Empress Changsun, Changsun Wuji, Wei Zheng and others, they were all stunned.

The corners of the mouth twitched.

Eyebrows twitched.

Even Du Ruhui, who had eaten half of it, subconsciously spit the meat into the bowl.

They were a little at a loss.

It's even more difficult to accept.

What is this meat?

This is....pork??

What did you just eat....pork?

This....how is this possible!

Pork, how is it so delicious!

How can it be so fragrant?

Pork is full of stinky smell!

Impossible, absolutely impossible!

Besides, what kind of place is this?

This is at the foot of Chang'an City, and it is still a thriving Chuhe Village!

You told me that everyone in Chuhe Village eats pork?

Oh my mother!

How can they accept this.

Pork?

They haven't eaten it in their lives!

This thing, in the mouths of the people, belongs to cheap meat, that is, the kind of meat that is unacceptable.

Now, you tell me, this is pork?

Just now, I ate by myself....and still so happy?

Bang!

Everyone's heads feel like they're getting bigger, their whole minds are blank, and they even feel like their stomachs are tumbling.

Even Empress Changsun's face turned a little white.

Not to mention Li Shimin's face.

Du Ruhui and Changsun Wuji, a group of scholars, have always despised pork.

Usually, it can be said that I don't even look at it.

For pork, it is even more whipping, but who would have thought that today, I would actually eat....eat...this pork!

"Xuan Ling, you're joking, right? It's not funny. ”

Li Shimin's voice was a little tight, and his voice became a little like a eunuch.

Despite the smile on his face.

But....ughtler than crying.

However, Fang Xuanling smiled.

Laughing happily.

"Your Majesty, it is indeed pork, and it is precisely because of this that the minister thinks that the drought in the world can be solved by pork."

"By the way, Your Majesty, haven't you kept asking me, have you found a treasure similar to a Quyuan plough in Chuhe Village?"

"The minister found it, that is, two months ago, it was a book of breeding pigs and eating pigs, at that time the minister thought that this was not advisable, maybe it was a prank of the king of Chu, but with the god of Quyuan plow, the minister still according to the book, the so-called systematic breeding of pigs."

"This has always been done secretly, and at that time, people from Kaifeng City said that they had eaten pork and it was delicious, which made the minister sure that he wanted to make a big deal of this pork."

"Therefore, the minister asked His Majesty for people and resources, rebuilt this Chuhe village, and introduced refugees."

"The system pigs that have just been raised and killed are eaten by these refugees, and they have eaten them all."

"The minister is not sure yet, but it is still the same for half a month, so the minister has the courage to ask Your Majesty and you to taste pork together."

"And to make sure that you don't know in advance that you have a prejudice against pork, so when you finish eating, the minister....this will tell the truth."

Fang Xuanling said word by word.

One by one, sentence by sentence, the case was completely solved.

He brought them here today to eat this pork!!

This....

This....

When Li Shimin heard this, his body trembled again.

Pork, how can this be a treasure!

Who doesn't know about pork?

Even the people know that this thing is the cheapest meat in the world, but Chuhe Village....actually all the people eat this thing.

Li Shimin licked his lips.

Although this meat is a little fragrant, I still want to eat it.

Well? Wrong!!

Li Shimin hurriedly shook his head, picked up a glass of water, and drank it all in one gulp, wanting to suppress his very dangerous thoughts.

What do you mean by still wanting to eat?

Is there a point of interest!

Is pork so fond of eating now?

Boom....

Li Shimin swallowed.

He put down the teacup, pointed to the meat in the pot with his fingers, and said in a trembling voice: "This....this, Xuan Ling, these meats, the common people eat them....This is the pig breeding method found from Chuhe Village, is it possible, the king of Chu also ate it before?" ”

Fang Xuanling nodded, and said very casually: "Your Majesty, from the information found by the minister, this is indeed true. ”

"Chen has been eating pork recently, quite a summary."

"Although mutton is also good, but eating too much mutton is a bit of a fire, as for chicken, duck and fish, these meats are good to eat occasionally, but once you eat it often, it makes people sick to their stomachs, only this pork, fragrant! Pure! ”

"Moreover, it is extremely nutritious, it is a rare god-given meat, if you don't eat it, it will be a pity, it is really a tyrannical thing!"

The voice fell.

Li Shimin's eyes were still a little heavy.

The eldest grandson Wuji, Qin Qiong, Du Ruhui and others were also bitter and slightly unacceptable.

This pork, whose reputation for thousands of years has been terrible, can be said to be terrible.

Cheap!

One word, it already says it all.

But now....

Eat it yourself....

A misstep is hated through the ages!

They want to cry without tears!

No one thought that Fang Xuanling would entertain guests with pork!

Although Chuhe Village eats it, and Fang Xuanling has always eaten it, the prejudice that has always made them unable to accept it at the first time.

"Anyway, eat! Eat when you're full! Xuan Ling, give me another bowl, I want that white meat!! ”

Du Ruhui held the middle bowl and stared at the fat in the pot.

White.

Generally, this is a term of endearment for fatty meat.

Because the fatty meat has no fiber, and it can be said that it is full of flavor and oil, it is loved by many people.

"Okay, okay, here we go."

Fang Xuanling stood up with a smile and helped Du Ruhui fill another big bowl.

Looking at Li Shimin and Empress Changsun, their scalps were a little numb, and the corners of their eyes were jumping wildly.

The eldest grandson Wuji was beside him, wanting to stop him, but looking at Du Ruhui, the old guy, with such a blank look, like a child, he didn't know what to say.

Qin Qiong pursed her lips, and the second flatbread that she had just eaten two bites in her hand was squeezed in his hand fiercely.

Du Ruhui ate it too fragrantly.

He couldn't help but swallow.

This meat....remove the prejudice left over from history, and it tastes really good.

Hey!

Wrong!

Is this really pork?

Impossible!

Pork is fishy and smelly, so it is called cheap meat, but the meat in this pot....

Qin Qiong's eyes lit up, and he looked at Fang Xuanling.

"Xuan Ling, you're not right, right? Is it a lie to us? Pork is smelly and fishy, but this meat, fragrant and glutinous, I don't know how many times better than pork, you....you must be lying to me and Your Majesty and others, right? ”

Qin Qiong retorted.

He still doesn't believe it!

The concept that has been carved into his bones for a long time makes him not believe it.

As soon as this remark came out.

The eyes of Li Shimin, Empress Changsun, Wei Zheng and others were all fierce.

That's right!

This....

What does pork taste like? Although they did not eat it, the book is very detailed!

Moreover, they have all seen pigs, and they have heard of what pork tastes like on weekdays.

But this meat tastes so good!

Come to think of it, it's definitely not pork!

Li Shimin's eyes flew, and he said loudly: "That's right, Xuan Ling, this is definitely not pork, don't lie to me." ”

Fang Xuanling was helpless and sighed.

But it's understandable.

Your Majesty, they....just like themselves at the beginning, will not die until the heart of the Yellow River.

He stood up, stirred the pot with a spoon, and fished something out.

A pig's trotter.

He put it in Li Shimin's bowl.

"Your Majesty, why should you? What's not to admit about this, look what it is? I've never eaten pork, but I've probably seen a pig run, and you should know what part this is. ”

"Dare to ask, besides pigs, is there a second animal with such hooves?"

Fang Xuanling's words directly made Li Shimin and the others who questioned it stunned.

Pig's trotters.

This is indeed a pig's trotter.

This evidence can be said to have stared them to death in place!

For an instant, everyone fell silent.

Eyes, just staring at this pig's trotters!

Boom....

Li Shimin swallowed with difficulty.

Pig's trotters, how could he not recognize them?

The eldest grandson Wuji and the four of them were also completely silent.

This is pork, there is no doubt about it.

The air, somewhat dignified.

They all seem to have been sealed dumb holes.

Fang Xuanling smiled, looked at their appearance, sighed lightly, and shook his head.

"Your Majesty, I beg your pardon for being unreasonable, you don't know the beauty of pork yet."

"Why is pork called cheap meat? It's because it's not delicious, not because it's cheap meat, so it's not delicious, don't get confused with this. ”

"It's better to tell you, because of the map in Chuhe Village, and because Kaifeng City doesn't know how to know how pork is delicious, but it is faster than our Datang Dynasty, this....pork is the treasure of the world! This....but good stuff!! ”

"It's not a good thing worse than a quantil plow!!"

The more Fang Xuanling spoke, the more excited he became, and in the end, he danced like a child.

It can be seen from the position of Li Shimin and others that Fang Xuanling....There is light in the eyes of this old guy....

Li Shimin's brows furrowed slightly, looked at Fang Xuanling, and did not speak.

The eldest grandson, Wuji, and they all sat quietly.

"Your Majesty, and all of you, the minister has recently gone deep into the people and hid in the people, so to speak, the understanding of the people is much deeper than yours, and it is precisely because of this that you can know about the pork in Kaifeng City for the first time!"

"Minister, please open your eyes and see, how have the people been doing in the past few years?"

"Now the people of Datang, although the number of people starving to death every year is decreasing, but....more people are expected to starve to death this year...."

"And even the well-fed people, they can only barely eat enough, most of them are yellow and thin, listless, and sick, why is this?"

"The minister knows, Your Majesty also knows, and you also know the auxiliary machine, everyone knows! In fact, the answer is very simple, that is....no meat to eat. ”

Fang Xuanling's voice was a little choked.

"In the more than two months that the minister has been deeply involved in the people, he has seen too many people, and they should have lived well, but....because of insufficient nutrition, they died of a very small disease."

"If you don't have enough nutrition, your own immunity will be very lacking, by the way, the word immunity is what the minister saw in that atlas,"

"Your Majesty, you can understand it as yang energy, yang energy is weak, and if disease takes advantage of the weakness, the people will get sick, and then worsen and die."

"They didn't actually die of illness, they were starved to death, most of them did."

Fang Xuanling went from being excited at the beginning to telling the people, and became more and more sad.

The words seem to be immersive, with Li Shimin and others, in that year when they can't eat enough.

Take a deep breath.

Fang Xuanling continued: "Fortunately, the minister found a way to breed pigs and kill pigs in Chuhe Village, which is the luck of the minister, the luck of Chang'an City, and the luck of the world!" ”

"Your Majesty, this meat is not cheap meat, but Chuhe Village, he gave me a good prescription for the Tang Dynasty!!"

Li Shimin looked at Fang Xuanling quietly.

Eldest Sun Wuji, Eldest Sun Empress, Qin Qiong and others had flickering eyes, their faces were ashamed, and their faces were sparse.

These words....

They....are speechless....

Fang Xuanling said three points.

The atmosphere in the room was heavy and heavy.

Li Shimin looked at him, opened his mouth, wanted to speak, but couldn't speak, his throat seemed to be blocked.

Fang Xuanling's words made his heart tremble.

Or even!

For a moment, just a moment, it was like an initiation, which made Li Shimin feel that the goosebumps all over his body were about to fall.

Oh, yes!

That's it!

Pork, because it is not tasty, is called cheap meat.

But, now, pork is so delicious, how can it still be called cheap meat?

It's meat!

This is the same meat as sheep, deer, etc.!

And this taste is far better than mutton venison, and when you eat it in your mouth, it feels really much better than mutton.

Most importantly, the lamb has a fishy smell.

Maybe it's because he has eaten too much mutton, Li Shimin always feels that this pork is the most delicious, and his mouth is extremely fragrant, and he can't help but want to gnaw on the pig's trotters in front of him.

Boom....

Li Shimin swallowed again.

He took a deep breath and opened his mouth, and this time, he made a sound, only a little hoarse.

"Xuan Ling, you're right, but....I, I don't understand, everyone knows this pork, it's fishy and smelly, but....but...."

Li Shimin trembled and tapped his fingers on the pig's trotters.

"But why, the pork in Chuhe Village is so delicious, why is this? Why is that? ”

Li Shimin didn't understand, he dared to ask hurriedly.

He felt that this meat should be treated in some way, so that it was different from pork in the general sense.

"Yes, Xuan Ling, the taste of this meat....is too different from other pork." Qin Qiong agreed.

"Huh....Xuan Ling, you're right, this meat is delicious, it can no longer be called cheap meat, if this meat can be popularized, the help to the people can be said to be huge, but, how can this meat become so delicious?" Wei Zheng was also a little anxious.
