Squeak.

Yakushi Huiri hung his head and pushed open the door, and was about to salute, but saw a black shadow rushing up.

"Yakushi-kun! Come and try it, this fish is delicious! ”

The dog chewed the raw fish in his mouth and said with great enthusiasm,

"With this mustard sauce, it's a must! I'm going to have great food! ”

As he spoke, he picked up a piece of fish, rolled it with three layers of mustard sauce and stuffed it into Yakushi Huiri's mouth.

"I'm not in the mood...... Hmmm......"

Yakushi Megumi wanted to refuse, but he was gagged and forced to taste a mouthful.

"Gross-"

The next second, he was about to throw up.

"Don't vomit, don't vomit! Taste it slowly! Inugami said urgently, "This is a delicacy!" ”

Goo-dong.

Pharmacist Huiri's throat twitched, swallowed the fish fillet with difficulty, and waved his hand again and again:

"Thank you Inu-kun for your kindness, I really can't get used to this ......"

He only felt a disgusting taste in his mouth......

"Hey! You have no good mouth! The dog shook his head when he looked at it for three days, looking extremely regretful.

"Yakushi-kun, what's wrong with you?"

Chizuru Konomiya took a sip of tea and asked softly,

"Is there any setback in the book purchase?"

Yakushi Huiri smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"The purchase of books went smoothly, and as soon as Princess Qianhe's banner of asking for books was launched, there was an endless stream of Tang people who came to sell books."

He reported,

"Not only ordinary Tang people, but even those dignitaries and even princes come to sell books! Among them is Li Tai, the king of Wei, who was extremely favored by the Tang Emperor. ”

When Haogong Chizuru heard this, his eyes suddenly lit up, and he even sat up a lot straighter.

"The princes are all here to sell books?" She was surprised, "Could it be that he will also be short of money?" ”

"My subordinates don't know, but the books sold by King Wei are all rare and unique books, and they are indeed very expensive."

Pharmacist Huiri said helplessly,

"One of his is worth ten books for ordinary people! The subordinates didn't want to overcharge, but he was the prince after all, how could he dare to save his face? ”

Inougami Sanri stuffed his mouth to the brim and shouted indistinctly:

"Naturally, you have to take it all! That's King Wei! We received the prince's book, and it was also a good story to spread it! ”

Chizuru Konomiya glanced at him.

"Don't eat it!"

Inou Sanri looked stiff, put down the bamboo chopsticks in his hand, and carefully chewed the rest of his mouth.

"It's all you deserve, no matter how much it is."

Konomiya Chizuru Masasedo,

"This is the first time we have come to Datang, regardless of whether the goal can be achieved or not, this reputation must be good, this is the foundation of Dongying's future development in Datang."

"There is an old saying in the Central Plains, called a thousand gold buys horse bones. Now everyone in the Tang Dynasty knows that Princess Dongying loves books and asks for books, and she does not hesitate to buy books with a lot of money, which can make me famous and famous in the Tang Dynasty. ”

"If you want to do something in Datang in the future, you will be able to get twice the result with half the effort!"

"Princess Chizuru Takami," the two messengers nodded again and again, clapping their horses.

"Yaoshijun, what is the value of the book sold by King Wei?"

Chizuru Konomiya asked again,

"What are the categories?"

"Most of them are unique and rare Buddhist scriptures, and many of them have been handed down from the Eastern Jin Dynasty, worth a hundred taels of gold." Pharmacist Hui Riyu reported, "There are also some books on geography and water conservancy in the Tang Dynasty, which are also rare books, worth dozens of taels of gold. ”

Chizuru Konomiya: "......"

"Buddhist scriptures...... Geography and water conservancy ...... Datang"

She cupped her forehead, pondered for a while, and couldn't help sighing,

"That sounds like it's not going to do me any good."

"That's it, I don't have a Buddha in the East, it's a good thing to be able to listen to the Dharma, Buddhism can spread in the Central Plains for so long, and there are so many believers, there must be something to be desired."

"As for Datang geography and water conservancy...... It can also be brought back to Dongying for research and reference. ”

"Take it!"

"Don't talk about this King of Wei, how have you achieved in the past few days? What books did you collect? ”

After thinking about it, in the end, I can only comfort myself with this explanation.

It's useful, as long as it's a book, it's useful!

"The subordinates have already registered, Princess Chizuru, please take a look."

Pharmacist Huiri presented the book in his hand with both hands, and said in a deep voice,

"Chang'an deserves to be the capital of the Tang Dynasty and the best place. The books here are not comparable to the books collected along the way, and there are no other disadvantages except for the high price. ”

"Very well done, you are reliable." Chizuru Konomiya opened the book, looked at the neat catalog, and couldn't help but approving, and then said, "A detailed thing like making a catalog may not be something like Inujo-kun." ”

Inoushang Sanri swallowed the fish in his mouth and smiled awkwardly.

"Princess Xie praises, this is what subordinates should do."

Pharmacist Huiri responded humbly, and then said,

"In the Tang Dynasty, there are some classic books that have been passed down from generation to generation, such as the Book of Songs, the Book of Songs, the Analects, the Book of Changes, etc., a total of nine, called the 'Four Books and Five Classics', these books contain thousands of years of wisdom, is the essence, and is also the foundation of the Central Plains civilization."

The eyes of the thousand cranes of the palace are shining.

"What you want is the essence!" She whispered, "What you want is its foundation!" ”

"In addition, there are also the works of the hundred schools of thought in the Spring and Autumn Period, such as the Tao Te Ching, the Nanhua Sutra, and the Han Feizi, etc., which are also the crystallization of the wisdom of the sages of the Central Plains."

Pharmacist Hui Ri said,

"The Li Tang royal family posthumously recognized the founder of Taoism 'Lao Tzu' as the holy ancestor, so the Tang Dynasty worshiped Taoism, and there were many Taoist classics in Chang'an."

The head of the thousand cranes of the palace is bowed.

"There are Buddhas and Taos, you can see them, it's good."

She nodded,

"These classics are indeed the crystallization of wisdom, but these alone are not enough, the prosperity of the Central Plains depends on more than this."

"We came all the way to Chang'an. Datang's agriculture, medicine, tools and instruments, astronomical calendar, architecture, etc., are far from being comparable to my Dongying, and the only thing we can compare with Datang is the shipbuilding industry, but when we landed in Datang from Dengzhou, you also saw that the Tang people were casting a huge sea ship, and if the ship was built, our shipbuilding industry in Dongying would not be worth mentioning. ”

Yakushi Huiri and Inujo Sanri both looked dignified and nodded solemnly.

"Therefore, what we need to learn most is something that can greatly improve my Dongying national strength, that is, Datang's various technologies!"

Chizuru Haogong clenched his fists and said seriously,

"If I can get books on medicine, agriculture, architecture, astronomy, etc., and bring them back to Dongying for research, even if I can't learn them all, learning five points from him is enough to make Dongying rich and strong!"

"These books, go and collect, go and collect! Even if it costs a lot of money, it will not hesitate! ”

Culture is soft power, and Dongying also lacks it, but it is not necessary.

Technology is hard power! It is the most lacking and urgent thing in Dongying right now!

"Princess Chizuru is absolutely right! Subordinates understood! ”

Pharmacist Huiri bowed down and said solemnly,

"There is not much money, it can't be wasted anymore, and then the subordinates will focus on all kinds of agricultural books and medical books, and use all the gold and silver on these key points!"

Haogong Chizuru was stunned.

"How much more?" She asked.

"The books that Princess Chizuru said, her subordinates received some, but not much. Now less than 40% of the gold is left. ”

Pharmacist Huiri said with some shame,

"It's really that the Tang people are too enthusiastic about selling books, and their subordinates can't shirk it, so they can only accept it all."

"Some of them are still repetitive......"

After hearing these words, Haogong Chizuru suddenly felt a little heavy.

"Money...... I knew to be more prepared. ”

She sighed,

"When I came, I thought that bringing 10,000 taels of gold would be enough to deal with everything, but now it seems that this money is not enough at all."

"There are too many places to use money, and buying books is a big sum, even if you give up making friends with ministers, the emperor still has a hurdle to pass......"

Although Dongying is short of materials, it is a country with a large scale, and as a princess, she has never been short of money to spend.

But at this moment, she deeply felt the anxiety of not having money.

"Yes......"

Pharmacist Huiri's expression sank, and he said in a low voice,

"Just now, Lu Shaoqing passed the word, Zhongshu Province rejected our request, and it should be impossible to meet the Tang Emperor through Honglu Temple."

Konomiya Chizuru's brow frowned again.

"Why did the Chinese Book Province reject it?"

The dog was unconvinced for three days,

"Princess Qianhe personally led the team here, is the Tang Emperor so unimportant?"

"I also said this, but Lu Shaoqing said that Princess Qianhe did not visit as an envoy, so it can't be counted; Even if it is counted, at most the prince will be sent to receive him, which is called diplomatic reciprocity. Pharmacist Huiri spread his hands and said helplessly, "So...... No way. ”

"This ......" Inujo was about to say more, but saw that Haogong Chizuru waved his hand.

"There's no need to argue anymore, since this road doesn't work, then it can only go through Xu Fenglei."

She groaned,

"Without the "Funeral Post", we are nervous about the gold and silver in hand, what treasures should we look for?"

Li Shimin...... Do you have any hobbies? ”

Pharmacist Huiri raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Princess Qianhe, my subordinates have heard that Li Shimin likes good horses."

He said,

"No matter what breed, as long as it's a good horse, he likes it!"

"Another thing is that I like beautiful women...... Well, this is a common problem for men, but my subordinates have heard in the market that Li Shimin did not even let go of his brother and sister-in-law and sister-in-law, and they were all included in the harem......"

Hearing this, Chizuru Haogong touched his chin.

"It turns out that this Tang Emperor still has such a habit, but it's also interesting."

She hooked her fingers and said softly,

"Look at me, am I a beauty?"

Yakushi Huiri subconsciously glanced up, but saw that Haogong Qianhe had bright eyes and white skin, so he looked at himself directly......

My heart suddenly shook. Xuan even lowered his head, not daring to look again.

"Princess Chizuru is naturally a beauty, an absolute beauty! Charm is limitless! ”

He replied,

"In the whole Dongying, even with the Tang Dynasty, there may not be anyone who can compare with the princess!"

Chizuru Haogong took a bronze mirror casually, stared at himself in the mirror, and couldn't help but chuckle.

"Even if it's a beauty, what's the use? If you can't even see people's faces, how can you show your charm? ”

She glanced twice, then threw the bronze mirror aside, and said,

"Let's visit the famous horse, no matter what, I have to meet Li Shimin."

"Inuage-kun."

"The subordinates are here." The dog on the three days responded to the voice.

"If a horse can't get into the eyes of the Tang Emperor, you go to the West Market to make money these days, communicate with those Hu businessmen, and inquire if there are good horses."

Chizuru Konomiya commanded,

"If you have a famous horse, don't be stingy with money, buy it with a lot of money!"

She wants to use a famous horse to open the door of the palace, and then use a beauty to knock on the door of the Tang Emperor's heart!

"Yes, Princess."

……

A few days later.

Taiji Palace, the queen's dormitory.

Under the careful teaching of Xu Fenglei, Li Chengqian, Li Tai and others have made great progress in their cooking skills.

"Queen Mother, you can try this little fried phoenix egg of the child!"

Li Tai proudly served a plate of hot dishes and sent it to the eldest grandson Wujian.

"Mother and mother, this stewed fairy grass is a must, you can live forever if you taste it!"

"The queen mother, the father, the child wants to sacrifice this fire dragon king, and the sacrifice is ugly......"

The three children presented their masterpieces one after another, which made Li Shimin and the eldest grandson Wujian cry and laugh.

"Eggs are jealous, and phoenix eggs are returned! How can you blow it so well! ”

Li Shimin scolded with a smile,

"Fairy grass? This clearly requires bean sprouts! ”

"And this Burning Dragon King...... Liz, who taught you to take this name? You're too arrogant! Isn't it braised shrimp! ”

"Who did you learn the name from?"

Boom.

The three eyes looked at Xu Fenglei behind him.

"Ahem......"

Xu Fenglei smiled a little embarrassedly and said,

"What's the name of the dish...... It's just a gimmick, I think it's very good, it's a palace dish that I can't afford to eat! ”

In later generations, those restaurants wanted to sell expensive dishes, so don't they all name them like this!

No matter what the dish is, bluff the guests first!

"Come on, you! I am the true Son of the Dragon, and you, the Burning Dragon King, are going to burn all my kind! ”

Li Shimin glared and said,

"Rename the dish!"

Xu Fenglei coughed twice and pushed the three children in front of him.

"Father, mother, this is a scrambled egg made by a child......"

"This is a child's fried bean sprouts......"

"Braised river prawn ......"

As soon as the name of this dish is reported, it will be finished in a moment.

"Bells and whistle......s" Li Shimin snorted lightly, then picked up the chopsticks, handed a pair to the eldest grandson Wujian, and said, "Taste it!" It is estimated that it will not be too delicious, but this appearance is not good! ”

As an emperor, he is used to eating exquisitely presented imperial kitchen dishes, so he is naturally a little overwhelmed by these three messy dishes.

Of course, this is also a preventive shot for his wife.

After all, I vomited last time......

"I think the names of those dishes are interesting."

The eldest grandson smiled and groaned,

"As for the taste...... It must be sweet. ”

"Because these are all dishes made by the children themselves, it is very sweet in my heart for my mother......"

When the three children heard this, they all smiled brightly, and ran to their mother's side to ask for a hug.

The eldest grandson stroked their heads and said lovingly:

"Okay, okay, don't you let your mother taste it?"

"Hmm...... Let's try this fire dragon king first, in fact, sometimes, I really want to burn your father's king, ha......"

When she was amused, everyone laughed.

Even Li Shimin, who was buried, laughed, with love in his eyes.

In front of him, there is the woman he loves the most, as well as the three filial children born to him by this woman.

If you have a wife and a child, what more can a husband ask for?
