Chapter 790 Buying a Chicken and Sending Green Vegetables
The emperor is planning his travel plans for the next year.
But I didn't hear what Fang Xuanling said.
After Fang Xuanling finished speaking, he waited for a long time but did not see any reaction from the emperor.
When he raised his head, he saw a strange smile on the emperor's face, and he was sketching something on the paper with a pen.
"Your Majesty!" Fang Xuanling shouted.
Li Shimin was shocked.
He also thought about letting Zhao Chen act like a cow and a horse by his side.
He was awakened from his sweet dream by Fang Xuanling's loud shout.
"What are you doing?" The emperor was unhappy.
The old guy Fang Xuanling has become like the old guy Wei Zheng in recent days.
He would blow his beard and stare at himself at every turn.
But it’s so annoying!
"Your Majesty is really in a leisurely mood. I said that a five-pound chicken in Dongshi sells for five cents today..."
"Five Wen is just five Wen, what the hell are you calling me... five... five Wen?" The emperor was annoyed when he suddenly reacted.
His expression changed immediately.
"Xuanling, you just said that a five-pound chicken only sells for five cents in Dongshi?"
"How is this possible?" The emperor put down his pen and looked at Fang Xuanling seriously.
Before pork was widely eaten by the people, chickens, ducks and geese were still relatively expensive.
A chicken weighing five kilograms can be sold for between thirty and thirty-five cents.
Later, because Zhao Chen gave the pig a knife, pork entered the dining tables of ordinary people.
The prices of chickens, ducks and geese have experienced a decline.
But a five-pound chicken can be sold for between twenty and twenty-five cents.
Why did it become Wu Wen?
The emperor didn't believe it.
But Fang Xuanling, an old guy, obviously didn't dare to lie to himself.
"How is it impossible? The roast chicken your Majesty just ate was bought on the street. If you buy a five-pound chicken, you will get a handful of vegetables as a gift." Fang Xuanling pointed to the roast chicken on the table and said in a deep voice.
The emperor was a little confused.
Five cents for a five-pound roast chicken and a handful of vegetables as a gift?
Why, if you don’t give me vegetables, why don’t you buy them?
"What's going on? Why did the price of chicken drop so sharply?" The emperor finally came to his senses and realized the seriousness of the problem.
"Not just chickens, but also ducks and geese. The prices have dropped to about the same level now."
"Your Majesty, you still remember that when you were fighting against the locust plague, you asked people all over the world to raise more chickens, ducks and geese." Fang Xuanling said to the emperor.
The emperor nodded, he naturally remembered it.
This is what Zhao Chen told him.
At that time, the emperor showed his face harshly in front of hundreds of officials.
It makes him proud.
Just now...
"There are too many chickens, ducks and geese, which has led to the current low prices. I have received discounts from various places. Many local people would rather bury these chickens, ducks and geese alive than take them to the market."
Go up and sell it!" Fang Xuanling's face was full of pain.
These are chickens, ducks and geese, really good things, just wasted like this?
"When Your Majesty asked the people to raise more chickens, ducks and geese, did you ever think of this situation?" Fang Xuanling asked again.
The emperor's expression immediately became a little embarrassed.
Fortunately, the light in Ganquan Palace was relatively dark, and Fang Xuanling could not see the emperor's face.
"I thought of it!" Of course the emperor would not say that he had not thought of this.
Otherwise, you wouldn’t be laughed at by Fang Xuanling?
"Then I would like to ask Your Majesty, how to solve this matter? Does Your Majesty have any other ideas?" Fang Xuanling let out a long sigh of relief.
Since the emperor had thought of this level a long time ago, he must have had a way to solve this problem.
Fang Xuanling suddenly felt that her worries were unnecessary.
There was also a relaxed smile on this face.
"Your Majesty, this matter is urgent. Please tell me about this solution." Fang Xuanling was extremely anxious now.
Such a huge waste of resources was a loss of Tang Dynasty's wealth.
The people also spent a lot of food to raise these chickens, ducks and geese.
I finally survived the locust plague, but the chickens, ducks and geese I raised were starved for food.
This must never be allowed to happen.
If the emperor had his way, he wouldn't look embarrassed at this moment.
At that time, when he told the officials about these methods to control locusts, he did not mention a word about Zhao Chen.
That credit belongs to the emperor alone.
He didn't know whether Zhao Chen knew about this.
At that time, the emperor did not ask Zhao Chen how he could solve the problem of so many chickens, ducks and geese.
Now that it was better, the emperor felt very embarrassed when Fang Xuanling asked him how to solve this matter.
How can he tell Fang Xuanling now?
He said that all the methods he mentioned before were actually told to him by Zhao Chen?
Then Fang Xuanling shouldn't be shocked?
Doesn’t the shameless impression of him as an emperor need to be improved a bit?
"Why didn't your Majesty say anything? What's the inconvenience?" Fang Xuanling looked at the emperor in confusion.
He felt that the emperor was strange.
Since we have already prepared a way to solve the problem, wouldn't it be better to say it now?
Why are you still acting coquettishly like a woman?
"I have my own solution to this matter. You don't have to worry about it, Xuanling. In this case, you go back first and I will tell you the solution at noon tomorrow." This was the only way the emperor could think of to temporarily avoid the disaster.
.
But we can't let Fang Xuanling keep asking questions.
Otherwise, if he knew that he had concealed Zhao Chen's achievements, would he despise him to death?
No, but absolutely not!
Fang Xuanling frowned. He felt that the emperor was hiding something from him.
But the emperor is the emperor after all, and he can't force the emperor to do things, right?
"Then please keep this matter in mind, and ask your Majesty to come up with a solution to this problem at noon tomorrow."
"I resign!" Fang Xuanling handed over to the emperor.
The emperor is dying of anxiety.
If Fang Xuanling doesn't leave, he will have to leave.
There are so many chickens, ducks and geese, what method can he think of.
You can't ask Zhao Chen yet.
The emperor felt inexplicably uneasy.
If Zhao Chen knew that he had concealed his achievements, would he be so angry that he didn't tell him the solution?
Also, can he have a way to solve such a difficult thing?
As soon as Fang Xuanling left, the emperor hurried to the apse.
He put on his casual clothes and ran out of the palace alone.
Before Fang Xuanling had gone far, she saw the emperor descending the steps first.
He couldn't hold back his face and slapped her hard twice.
…
"Brother Zhao, try this grass carp. Auntie has learned it from a master chef in the city."
"And this, stir-fried beef with chili, your Uncle Zhang keeps talking about it, so Auntie doesn't want to cook it for him."
"Today he has taken advantage of you!"
"Miss Xiao Wu, and this young master, you can eat as well. I won't take the food. You can eat whatever you want."
In the village chief's house, steaming food is placed on the table.
Zhao Chen refused the village chief's request to sit down and sat on one side.
The bowl was filled with rice, and two eggs were fried on the bottom of the bowl, covered with rice.
"Eat it yourselves too." Zhao Chen greeted the two of them with a smile.
It was also because they were delayed a lot of time on the road, otherwise Zhao Chen would not have wanted to trouble them.
"Well, this is too delicious!" Xiao Li Zhi buried his head in the rice, and the corners of his mouth were covered with rice grains.?
