As soon as Pan Ziling went out, Liu An saw a little eunuch coming in.
After the little eunuch came to Liu An and whispered a few times, Liu An ordered: "Come here, send Brother You to the West Garden, prepare enough fruits and snacks."
"Yes." Zhao You didn't need to say that Liu An had already wanted to leave, because from where he was sitting, you could see Liu Chenggui from the window.
It’s not that Zhao You didn’t like Liu Chenggui, but was afraid that if there was something disobedient here, Liu Chenggui reported to the palace, so he hid.
Liu An asked him to go to Xiyuan first, and Zhao Youzheng and Xinyi.
Zhao You was taken away by someone. Liu Chenggui gave in to the side of the road according to courtesy, and kept bowing as Zhao You passed by. The eunuch behind him bent deeper.
When Liu Chenggui entered the house, he took a pair of bowls and chopsticks on the shelf next to him. He waved his hand and asked the little eunuch to guard the house and the imperial guards guarded the gate.
Liu An asked: "Uncle came here in person. I thought the Shanggong in the palace would arrive tomorrow."
Liu Chenggui whispered: "I'll just pass on a word. Listen carefully. Don't do anything now. Just pretend that I didn't hear me."
"clear."
Liu Chenggui said: "The official family asked the miscellaneous family to bring you a message. If you have any problems in Xianping County, you will deal with them slowly. Don't be anxious or panic, and don't let people see abnormalities. Zhending Mansion sent an urgent secret letter. The uncle went to the palace to read it. I want to tell you this matter, remember not to speak."
After hearing this, Liu An nodded silently.
Liu Chenggui's expression changed: "There is a hole in the middle of this table, what's the point?" Liu Chenggui's expression was what he had forgotten about just now. He had no idea what he had said just now.
Liu An's face had a calm expression, but he was uneasy inside.
He had a premonition that what he guessed might have happened. Li Jilong predicted that Yelu Longqing would take action in the autumn, but Feng Zheng was staring at Zhending Mansion. Feng Zheng should have discovered something that he would speed up the secret report. At least it can be determined that the Liao Kingdom had already started preparing for the war.
As Liu Chenggui said, this should be considered as nothing happened.
If the news is made public at this time, the civil servant group in the court will cause great trouble, not to mention that there is no evidence that the Liao Kingdom is going south.
Liu An took a deep breath and smiled: "Uncle, no one has ever eaten the delicacy today."
"really?"
"really."
Liu Chenggui clapped his hands gently: "Serve the food."
Liu An then introduced: "This dish is not ordinary. One of the important seasonings comes from the depths of Shennongjia, and there are very few. I am arranging people to try planting."
The dishes came on soon.
There is no food, no fruit.
All dishes are raw, even the meat is raw.
Liu Chenggui poked the mutton roll with chopsticks twice: "This, the family is old, not to mention whether it can be bitten, even if it is eaten, it will probably be a serious illness."
"Hotpot, Tang called antique soup."
Liu Chenggui nodded and put down his chopsticks: "This is interesting."
The hot pot in the Tang Dynasty must be very different from the modern ones. Liu An is a semi-modern one with a copper pot on a stove. Then there is a red oil hot pot.
In the first bite, Liu Chenggui ate it in his mouth, and then clenched his fist with his left hand.
"poisonous!"
But looking at Liu An again, he ate very calmly, although his face was already red.
There is no need for Liu An to poison himself with the same slices of meat in a pot.
Liu Chenggui became much smarter in the second chopsticks. He did not bring spicy food or oil. Instead, he imitated Liu An to lift the meat slices in boiling water and then dipped them in the sesame paste in front of him.
Not that spicy, not that hot.
After only one cup of tea, Liu Chenggui was already sweating, but the chopsticks did not stop.
The West Garden uses a rebellious double-handed mandarin duck pot.
After all, there is Zhao You, a child under ten years old, but almost no one moved Baiguo. Liu Yi, Zhao You, and Liu Jing in another room, stuck out his tongue while eating hard.
Let’s talk about Dongyuan.
When Cao Xun entered, he was a man with a title. Although Liu Chenggui was a big celebrity in the palace, the two of them were polite to each other when they met.
Today, Liu Chenggui was even more polite and personally brought a pair of chopsticks for Cao Xun: "Come on, General Cao sit down and eat together. This is a novel and delicious food. Come on, serve two more dishes of mutton."
Cao Xun's spicy face has changed color.
Liu An said at this time: "In the name of our Nanhai Cooperative, we will go to the official business to invest in the business. The grass will be transported to Qiongya for initial processing, then to Hangzhou for secondary processing, and finally to Bianliang. Is this meaningful?"
Cao Xun was so spicy that he couldn't speak. He grabbed a cup of ice and put it in his mouth before he could recover.
Cao Xun said: "What do you mean is building a workshop in Chameng?"
"The bluegrass turned into indigo. Only the master craftsman really needed technology, and the rest were all coolies. There were coolies in Chameng, or it was placed in the south of Qiongya, and the finished product was shipped back. I have read the document and 100 kilograms of bluegrass. If a master craftsman takes action, it will not only have a good color, but also produce no less than four kilograms of bluegrass."
After hearing Liu An talk about it, Cao Xun asked, "What about the rules? This is not a trivial matter. A minor official around me has calculated that if the dye is prepared in Chameng and transported back, I am afraid there will be big trouble. The cost of two pounds of blue materials in Chameng is lower than that of one pound of materials in Hangzhou. This is not a trivial matter. Rules and regulations must be established."
"I don't know." Liu An directly gave up the power to set rules.
Liu Chenggui glanced at Liu An and thought to himself that Liu An was really good.
At present, when major events are coming, they are still calm and can be made. They have also dug a deep pit for civil servants, including the three pillars of the Song Dynasty, iron, cloth and grain.
And cloth also includes silk.
Is dye important? Without dye cloth, it can only be a fabric of primary color, especially silk, which has higher requirements for dyes.
Higher quality and lower price.
Can the civil servants in the court ignore this matter?
Liu An added another sentence: "If you build a mash house in Chameng, even if you can't spin threads, you must be able to make primary mash buns, otherwise the transportation cost will increase a lot, and those useless parts should be disposed of in Chameng."
Cao Xun couldn't eat anymore, it was a bit big.
He was born in a martial arts honor. He had three civil officials around him who were in charge of the accounting, one recorded his merits and the other recorded his daily behavior.
Cao Xun believed that he could not do what Liu An said.
But Liu An said again: "Also, I mentioned five million stone rice last time. Can Chameng do it?"
Cao Xun nodded silently: "From the moment, five million stones can be done. But I can't do this matter, so I just lead the fleet to travel safely between the two places. I can't do this major."
Liu Chenggui said at this time: "You really can't control it, but you can write to a letter."
