Chapter 419 Kneeling on the ground to plead for sin, Part 6]

Kinderman is so smart. It is not luck at all for such a smart woman to become the Queen of Silla.

Li Yuanxing slowly put the delicious dinner in his mouth and tasted it carefully.

Seeing that Li Yuanxing was silent, Kinderman said no more and sat down with Li Changying.

One table, ten people, just right.

This table has a wonderful mechanism that is extremely ordinary in modern times. It has a round turntable so that the dishes can rotate on the table.

But in the Tang Dynasty, this was extremely surprising.

Roller bearings are the pinnacle technology of Datang's machining. They are made using the simplest lathe. Before there is a better process, this is truly the pinnacle technology.

Li Yuanxing reached out and slowly turned the turntable, and a plate of purple round cakes stopped in front of Kinderman.

"This is called purple sweet potato cake. I eat it as a snack, but they think it is a main dish. Purple sweet potato is only available to the royal family in the Tang Dynasty and is not available to the people." Li Yuanxing did not explain any more.

The words are enough to show the preciousness of this dish.

Purple is naturally a royal color.

Purple Star is also known as the Emperor Star, so purple has indirectly become a noble color. In Chinese history, each dynasty is different. During the Qin Dynasty, black was the authentic color. In the Tang Dynasty, red was preferred, and the emperor also

The bright yellow color is actually gold for the royal robe.

The Purple Star has another name, the North Star.

Li Yuanxing's back garden used the Big Dipper formation. This was Yuan Tiangang's design and a privilege given by Li Er.

The King of Qin in the Tang Dynasty is known as King Side by Side.

When Kinderman heard the purple sweet potato cake, he naturally felt a sense of dignity. He held one in both hands and said, "Thank you, His Highness, King Qin." Then he took a bite.

Don't underestimate the level of chefs in the Tang Dynasty. With the rich materials and the training of Li Yuanxing, they are definitely no worse than those of later generations.

"Thank you, Your Highness!" Kinderman's second bite was obviously bigger than the first.

A small white hand quickly grabbed a piece of purple potato cake and put it into the beautiful cherry mouth.

Do you want to take a small bite of the cherry? Oh my goodness, I took a bite of most of it.

"Xiuyan, don't be rude!" Cui Yingying went to persuade her, but she saw Zheng Xiuyan stuffing the half piece into her mouth, holding one piece in each hand, and smiled at Cui Yingying.

Li Yuanxing also laughed: "Be careful not to choke, this is not easy to swallow!"

"It's delicious, it's really delicious!" Zheng Xiuyan's voice was loud and she smiled cheerfully. Perhaps this is what an innocent girl should look like, instead of acting like Princess Qin all day long and being so serious.

The girls also started eating together. They had already eaten sweet potatoes, but this was the first time they had eaten food made from sweet potatoes.

"Your Highness, with an annual yield of 10,000 kilograms per mu, we should introduce it to Hebei for cultivation." Li Liyuan suggested.

"Let Cui Changshi consider these matters. Just worry about how you are happy to eat." Li Yuanxing no longer cares much about how to grow this food. With this output, the aristocratic family began to grow it, and the people naturally followed suit.

of.

Cui Yingying said at this time: "Your Highness, the Guards should be punished lightly for stealing sweet potatoes!"

"You go ahead and make arrangements. There are rules for everything. However, don't make it too difficult for them. Give some sweet potatoes to the craftsmen and let them taste them. There is always not enough food. Now it is rare to have more food. Whether it is the Guards,

Farmers or craftsmen may also have some ideas. Let Cui Yiye handle this matter."

Li Yuanxing ordered that the princesses are now real housekeepers.

Most of the affairs in Qin Wangzhuang are decided by them.

Before dinner was finished, a second-class maid brought from the Cui family in Qinghe, who was friends with Bai Erwa, quietly went to inform Bai Erwa.

"What are you afraid of!" Bai Erwa said carelessly, but when she saw the second-class maid bursting into tears, Bai Erwa scratched her head: "Your Highness is kind and won't punish you severely. I want you to have those roasted sweet potatoes."

When eating, don’t you also enjoy it secretly? It would be foolish not to steal something so delicious!”

Wow!

The second-class maid burst into tears. She was scared. She was really afraid that Bai Erwa would be severely punished.

You know, in the past, the Cui family of Qinghe would be beaten to death for serious thefts.

"Okay, I will take the lead in this matter and take it for the brothers!" Before Bai Erwa could finish speaking, he was suddenly slapped to the ground. When Bai Erwa was knocked down, he did not dare to shout.

In Qin Wangzhuang, I could count the number of slaps that knocked him down on one hand. Looking back, I saw that he was really an old wolf.

"Go away, I want you to push the cylinder, go away!" Old Wolf kicked Bai Erwa again, and then said to the other captains with a cold face: "Get out of here, go back and rest."

The old wolf came to the backyard alone and knelt at the door of the courtyard, saying that he came to apologize.

Please forgive me! Li Yuanxing looked at Cui Yingying with a smile, and then raised his chin, which means you should take care of it.

Cui Yingying held up the hem of her skirt and quickly came to the entrance of the courtyard. She first asked the guards to help the old wolf up. The old wolf clasped his fists and said, "The thing about stealing sweet potatoes is because someone is not strict in discipline, so someone accepts the punishment!"

"Then you will be punished with twenty hours' work. Anyone who steals food will go to the farm to help during your rest time. The summer harvest is about to begin, and food is the most important thing. Take advantage of the good weather to load the food into the warehouse.

!" Cui Yingying finished speaking with a straight face, and then took a few steps closer to the old wolf: "Did the maid in the courtyard go to inform Bai Erwa?"

"Yes!" Old Wolf doesn't tell lies. One is one, and two is two.

Cui Yingying smiled and nodded: "Go and punish Bai Erwa severely, and then tell him that I will take care of their affairs!"

The old wolf was stunned for a moment, then smiled, clenched his fist knuckles loudly, and answered loudly: "Old wolf takes orders!"

The old wolf beat Bai Erwa. After Bai Erwa was beaten in vain, he asked the reason: "There must be a reason for beating me." Several people who were friends with Bai Erwa also came over to persuade him.

The other two said, "We stole it too. If you want to beat us, we will admit it."

The old wolf was happy: "What this boy stole was not sweet potatoes, but people. Princess Ying has already approved their matter, but she asked me to punish Bai Erwa severely. So..." The old wolf just said that he had just started to move,

When the second round was about to start, seven or eight captains pushed Bai Erwa to the ground and praised her hard.

The old wolf was stunned and didn't understand what was going on.

Cui Yiye waved a folding fan, and Du Shuangyu, who was holding a roasted sweet potato, also came over.

Seeing Bai Erwa being beaten, instead of trying to persuade them, Du Shuangyu stretched out his foot and kicked Bai Erwa on the buttocks.

"What's going on?" Old Wolf asked.

Cui Yiye smiled and replied: "General Wolf, everyone was deceived by him. He wanted to steal sweet potatoes. Now that I think about it, he didn't want to eat them. He didn't want to eat them for everyone, but to please a woman. Everyone was pulled by him.

, ended up digging more than a thousand kilograms of sweet potatoes in the middle of the night. A few days ago, he encouraged others to steal cherry tomatoes from half an acre of land. If you don’t beat him, who will beat him!"

Bai Erwa was being beaten, but she was laughing, too happy to close her mouth.

The iron-blooded sergeant of the Tang Dynasty was beaten hundreds of times by fists and feet, but he just treated it as a massage. Bai Erwa protected his vital parts and smiled stupidly while being beaten.

"What a fool!"

In the early morning of the next day, Li Yuanxing had just woken up when Li Changying said in his ear: "Your Highness, there are dozens of officials kneeling in front of the main entrance of Qin Wangzhuang, saying they are here to apologize."

"What day is it today?" Li Yuanxing asked while getting dressed.

Li Changying shook his head: "There is no special day this year!"

"What's the excuse?" Li Yuanxing put on his clothes and strode out. Cui Yiye and Lu Maofeng were already waiting in front of the backyard door. After Li Yuanxing got on the sedan chair, Cui Yiye said: "Your Highness, the matter has been settled.

It is clear that they are asking for forgiveness because the Chang'an County can't hold the summer harvest grain at all."

Li Yuanxing was stunned for a moment: "Continue!"

"The Tang corn from Luoyang will be shipped soon. The first batch has arrived at the wharf in Chang'an West on the Wei River. Whether we change carriages or continue by boat, we can reach Chang'an in one day. The official warehouse in Chang'an can barely accommodate this.

batch, the next two batches have already been shipped, there is no room to put them in!"

"Do I need to apologize for this?" Li Yuanxing asked back.

Cui Yiye quickly flipped through his notebook: "Your Highness, according to your daily records, you said in Luoyang: Some people should die. There is not enough granary, so his official position was in vain! According to the recorder,

"A good harvest is a great joy, but there is no warehouse to store grain, which is why His Highness said this."

Li Yuanxing said that he recalled what he said to Qu Tutong.

"How much more is left?"

"Your Highness, Luoyang can no longer store any more. Now Luoyang is really afraid of rain. The national inventory of grain is also an important matter for the country. So it is not wrong for them to transport it to Chang'an. The price of grain in Chang'an is probably going to drop. Old grain

The price is less than ten cents per dou, which is already certain!" Cui Yiye reported in a low voice.

Li Yuanxing thought for a while: "What did the Holy Spirit say? What did the Six Parts say?"

"The Holy One said that this was the beginning of the prosperous age of the Tang Dynasty. What the Ministry of Husband meant was that all the old grains should be cleared out and shipped to Liaodong. They would be given to the Khitan and Mohe people, and the remaining portion owed during the battle between Liaocheng and Jian'an should first be paid back.

We will stay in Liaocheng and Jian'an to serve as military rations. However, the granaries are still not enough!"

When Cui Yiye said these words, he kept a smile on his face.

Li Yuanxing continued to the door, where dozens of officials were kneeling, including several wearing scarlet official uniforms.

"Don't apologize for now. Let's have some breakfast in the living room. I will listen to your report!" After Li Yuanxing finished speaking, he gave a gesture of support to the leading official and then returned to the village.

Inside Chang'an City! Imperial Palace.

Li Er laughed while eating breakfast.

"Erlang, why are you so happy!"

"I am happy. Throughout the dynasties, countless emperors have worried about not having enough food to eat. Today, in the prosperous period of the Tang Dynasty, at nightfall, dozens of officials rushed out of the city to apologize to Wu Lang for having too much food and not enough warehouses.
