In the end, Chen Xi didn't explain to this group of people what he was going to do. On the one hand, this group of people didn't want to listen. On the other hand, it seemed that even if they listened, they wouldn't help Chen Xi deal with it. In the end, he still had to rely on
Himself, therefore, Chen Xi was too lazy to talk about it.
"What is this?" Chen Xi asked, pointing to the steamed seabass that Liu Tong ordered the eunuch to deliver from the palace dining room because he was in a good mood during lunch.
"This is fresh seabass sent from the coast. It happened to be delivered today. The princess ordered it to be steamed and sent to the princes." Taiguan Ling explained cautiously.
"Oh." Chen Xi was silent for a while, and finally felt that it was better not to worry about it. He was probably the only person present who could recognize what this thing was. He silently picked up a few chopsticks, and then ate the steamed buns.
"This fish meat is very firm and delicious." Jia Xu said casually after the eunuch left.
"The seabass I ate before was not so delicious. The palace dining room seems to be no less than the dining room in Zichuan's backyard." Liu Ye said with a smile, "I will also buy a seabass later and do some research. I heard that Songjiang in Liaodong
The seabass tastes good, but I didn’t really care about it before. After trying this, I feel the need to buy a few and try it.”
"Is there anyone selling Songjiang seabass in Chang'an?" Chen Xi rolled his eyes and said.
"Yes, just less." Lu Su replied on behalf of Liu Ye, "Fish from the Yangtze River are also sold here, and they are still alive."
"This business is pretty good, what's the price?" Chen Xi made a few guesses and asked, "Ten times, or twenty times the usual price?"
"Ten times." Zhuge Liang said silently, Huang Yueying is not a local, and occasionally the fresh goods from Jingxiang are delayed. Although it is not much, it will inevitably need to be adjusted, so Zhuge Liang is very clear about the value of this thing.
"That's okay. If it's too expensive, I'll start collecting luxury tax." Chen Xi curled his lips and said, while Zhuge Liang looked out the door and sighed.
"What's wrong?" Chen Xi asked curiously.
"It is not difficult to transport live fish from the south of the Yangtze River to Chang'an. The Huang family is a fisherman themselves. They usually use nets to drag the fish along the waterway to Nanyang County, or they can drag them around the Grand Canal to get here.
Most of them were alive when we landed on the shore." Zhuge Liang said sideways.
This is also the reason why Chang'an can buy live fish from all over the country. In fact, because the Grand Canal was finally dredged last year, now you can basically see live fish in other places except Bingzhou and Liangzhou.
It has to be said that the profit-seeking nature of businessmen is clearly demonstrated in this aspect. If you drag it around for a while, you can sell it for ten times the price, so why sell salted fish? Isn’t it better to sell live fish?
However, marine fish cannot do this. If they leave the sea water, many marine fish will die quickly. Therefore, there are no marine fish in Chang'an. The seabass that Chen Xi and others ate just now was actually humpback seabass.
The spotted ones are actually sea fish.
The most important thing is that Chen Xi can actually tell the freshness by the taste, and this is obviously the sea fish that was slaughtered and cooked today. This is something that even Chen Xi hasn't figured out. If he can figure it out, Chen Xi won't have to follow him.
Liu Bei said that he was going to inspect the coast this year, so why not just eat in Chang'an?
Even live humpback bass can be sent to Chang'an, and things like giant clams may also be sent. If you just eat them in Chang'an, why bother patrolling the coast in case a typhoon capsizes the ship? Chen Xi's
The amount of energy is very scary, but I don’t want to use it to fight off a Category 18 typhoon.
In Lanchi Palace, Zhang Chunhua looked at Liu Tong, who said that he hated this little kid very much, and secretly took advantage of Cai Zhenji to comfort her husband, and carried Yang Hu and Yang Huiyu to Lanchi Palace. He felt helpless and sincerely
I don't understand what these people are thinking.
"Sister, I can't peel it off." Yang Hu looked at Zhang Chunhua cutely.
Zhang Chunhua sighed, stretched out his hand to take the pistachios, then helped Yang Hu peel them off and fed the nuts to Yang Hu. Yang Huiyu on the side vaguely despised his younger brother for lying to these sisters all day long, and then he himself
Angrily, he started to peel off the shells.
"Why are they so cute?" Liu Tong looked at Yang Hu and Yang Huiyu and sighed, "Are all children so well-behaved and smart?"
Zhang Chunhua rolled her eyes vaguely. In her opinion, Liu Tong must be crazy for having such an idea, but to be honest, it is hurtful precisely because of the comparison. It is precisely because of the comparison between ordinary children, Yang Hu and Yang
Huiyu looks super cute.
"I really want to have one myself." Liu Tong said, his face turned red, and then he covered his face with an expression of shame.
"It seems that Tongtong doesn't want me anymore." Si Niang knelt directly on the ground with a miserable expression, while Zhang Chunhua turned his head and looked aside, as if nothing had happened, and resolutely resisted the two Lily girls, absolutely not to be
Infected by the other party.
"By the way, send a copy of these dried fruits that Mrs. Xu sent to the Political Yuan." Liu Tong pulled Si Niang up with a smile, and then said to Zhang Chunhua.
The Xu family, the Zhou family, and the Ji family belong to the families that have been locked up. Now they are nestled in Jiangnan and cannot leave. Although they all have other thoughts, no one dares to reveal them. They can continue to stay and watch other families grow up outside.
Lao Te Lao, even if the three of them have strong backing and rich foundation, they are still in pain, especially since all three of them have sent some people to join the observation group, and the more they do, the more uncomfortable they become.
However, Chen Xi's usual approach is whoever takes the blame. The three families should solve their own problems. Besides, to a certain extent, growing heaven and earth energy crops is also very good, and it is also a good life, and Jiangnan is now also
There are no aristocratic families left, and the land is vast and sparsely populated, which is great!
What a ghost! These are all lies. Families who go abroad are telling the truth on their own territory. Even the laws can be changed on the spot. If you have money, you can directly form an army. If you don’t have money, you can borrow money to form an army. Even some families
I have tried to contact Roma to see if I can get a loan.
As for the matter of repaying the loan, from the perspective of families like the Xu family, Zhou family, and Ji family who have a clear understanding of the aristocratic family, and judging from the poor records of the northern aristocratic family, it is really necessary to borrow money from Rome.
, it is impossible to repay the loan, these scumbags would rather start a war than repay the loan.
This is because the three surnames of Jiangnan have not gone out and are not in the same circle. I don’t know that the Yuan family has secretly contacted the major families. If they knew, these three families can guarantee that every major family deceived them from Rome.
I don't intend to return even a single silver coin.
There was a tall man holding up the sky when it fell. The head of the old Yuan family came to visit in person and talked about the plans for fifteen to twenty years from now. In this case, the bottom line of the major families would be even lower. After all, something happened.
There is also a Yuan family standing in front of us!
With this idea in mind, this group of aristocratic families who were born to be no fun will definitely not think about paying back the money. They will take action sooner or later anyway, so why pay back? They might as well just rely on it first and borrow Roman money to seduce Roman barbarians.
When I was waiting for Rome to collect the debt, it looked like Rome was unkind and forced me to wait and die!
Thinking about Chen Sheng being able to say things like "If you die now, you will die, if you make great plans, you will die. If you wait for death, your country will die." How can the major aristocratic families not be able to incite European barbarians?
The shortcomings of the Roman system could only be seen by the Romans themselves by comparing them with the Han Dynasty. However, if it were aristocratic families like the Han Dynasty, each of them had a clear mind. It would be absolutely impossible to say that they had no ideas. At least the Yang family was less obsessed with Rome.
My mouth watered several times.
If it weren't for the huge gap in strength, and Rome was full of talented people, important people, wealthy, and extremely reliable monarchs, it's a wonder that all the major families could have endured without touching the tiger's beard until now.
But after receiving the hint from the Yuan family, the thoughts buried in the hearts of the major aristocratic families really emerged involuntarily.
Desire and ambition are things that can never be suppressed if you want to. I didn’t dare to think about it before. It was just that I couldn’t face an empire like Rome. But after I really have the capital to face it directly, I won’t stretch out my claws.
If you try, you won’t be an aristocratic family anymore.
The Xu family, the Ji family, and the Zhou family don't understand this, but they still send people to see the world, do some small business, etc., and bring some strange things back and forth, and they will send some to the palace as a way of expressing their feelings.
, to prove one’s own sense of existence and so on.
"I can see that Your Highness the Princess is in a good mood today." Chen Xi said with a smile as he looked at the tea tray sent by Shaofu Guo Cheng.
When Liu Tong has someone on night duty in the Political Yuan, he will order the eunuch to deliver midnight snacks, and then during the four solar terms, he will have people deliver specific meals to the Political Yuan. As for other times, Liu Tong will not control the Political Yuan.
Here, after all, there is a restaurant outside Weiyang Palace near the palace gate. This is one of the very few restaurants that can enter the palace and deliver food.
"After all, I have taken down the Brahasi, which can be regarded as giving His Highness a breath of bad breath." Liu Ye said with a smile, reaching out to open the tea tray. Chen Xi looked at the dried fruits in it and was silent for a moment. Liu Tong really defied heaven today!
"What are these?" Lu Su asked, looking at the pistachios and peanuts.
"This is pistachio. It is produced in the Roman province of Syria. I have eaten it in Congling before." Zhuge Liang replied casually, then reached out to grab a few pistachios and peeled them. "As for this, I really don't know.
.”
"This is a peanut." Chen Xi stretched out his hand and crushed the peanut shell, and said with a complicated look. To be honest, at this time, even the peanuts in South America had just been domesticated, and the peanuts on the tea tray are now similar to those of later generations.
There's not much difference.
"Oh." Zhuge Liang nodded and didn't ask why Chen Xi knew. Anyway, Chen Xi always knew what he was eating.
"This thing is more suitable for oil extraction than soybeans." Chen Xi pinched the peanut and said, "But where did this thing come from? Did someone come from across the sea?"
"Is there any problem with running from across the sea?" Man Chong asked expressionlessly.
