Cui Mi couldn't help but glared at Li Xuan angrily.
However, as soon as the words came out of his mouth, he couldn't help being shocked, his face flushed, and his heart filled with regret.
So shameful!
She didn't know what was wrong with her. She had only been with the king for less than four days since the day she welcomed the bride. How could she shout such goosebumps-inducing words?
Even Li Xuan couldn't help but glance at Cui Mi.
This princess of my own has great potential!
After a long while, Cui Micai whispered: "The king's status is so respected. If you lead your personal guards to attack the official of the imperial censor, you will definitely be criticized!"
Li Xuan snorted softly, "What do I fear?"
Then, before Cui Mi could continue, Li Xuan said: "Okay, you can tell the butler what the princess wants to eat."
"In Lijiazhuang, there are more than 1,000 fat chickens raised in captivity, which can lay 600 eggs a day; more than 800 fat ducks, which can lay more than 400 eggs a day; a thousand acres of paddy fields, all of which are filled with fat fish.
Count; there are also more than 1,500 fat pigs, some are fat and some are thin, some are old and some are young, all these princesses can eat!"
"So many?"
Hearing this, Cui Mi couldn't help but slowly opened his mouth.
Chickens, ducks, hogs, fish, these domestic animals are also raised in captivity by the Cui family in Qinghe.
However, such a large family would only keep a few hundred animals in captivity, just to provide daily food for the family.
And such a small Lijiazhuang raised so many animals at once. According to Cui Mi's estimation, they could all supply the city of Chang'an.
Therefore, he subconsciously said: "Your Majesty has raised so many poultry and livestock, but he wants to sell them to the powerful people in the city?"
Li Xuan didn't know that his princess mistakenly thought that he kept so many poultry and livestock in order to sell them to the powerful people in the city to make money, or she said nonchalantly: "I just want to eat meat, and Lijiazhuang has a lot of land."
If there are more farmers, they will raise more animals in captivity."
"The princess can eat these poultry and livestock how she wants. On weekdays, the servants and farmers in the house can also buy some chickens, ducks, fish and hogs at extremely low prices and take them back to eat.
As for selling these poultry and livestock to the rich and powerful in the city, the village will sell some every day, but not too many. The number of these chickens, ducks, pigs and fish can only be eaten in the village at present!"
"The king is saying that all the farmers and servants in the village can eat these chickens, ducks, fish and hogs?"
Cui Mi looked shocked.
As far as she knew, outside, not to mention the servants and servants of some wealthy families, even some families with relatively well-off families sometimes had to wait half a month before they could have a meal of meat.
"Exactly"
Li Xuan nodded lightly, "On weekdays, these chickens, ducks, pigs, and fish are all taken care of by the farmers and servants. When they are ready to eat, they will naturally have to give some food to the farmers. However, when the farmers eat chickens, ducks, pigs, and fish,
Sometimes, you also need to spend some money to purchase it.
Moreover, the money is more than ten or dozens of cash, which is much cheaper than those outside who come to buy meat in the village!"
"Your Majesty is so kind, what a blessing to the farmers and servants!"
Cui Mi nodded thoughtfully and praised.
Cui Mi also had some vague guesses as to why Li Xuan made such an explanation.
As Princess Jin, she will also intervene in some affairs of Prince Jin's palace.
Obviously, the king informed her of this matter in such detail because he was worried that she would raise the prices of chickens, ducks, pigs and fish, or prohibit farmers from buying food.
It's just that the king looked down on her a little!
"Your Majesty, what shall we have for dinner?"
At this time, Li Chang walked up and asked Li Xuan.
In other courtyards, such as the small thatched house before, the meals were cooked by Cheng Chusi, Li Chongyi and others.
There are dozens of chefs in the courtyard, and there are only three chefs who specialize in cooking for Li Xuan.
Moreover, the cooking methods were all taught by Li Xuan himself.
"What would you like to eat, princess?"
Li Xuan turned to look at Cui Mi.
"Your Majesty can make the decision!" Cui Mi said quickly.
Hearing this, Li Xuan was startled, but then he came to his senses.
It was Cui Mi's first time here, so he probably didn't know what to order, so he ordered a portion of what he usually eats.
"Scrambled eggs with chopped green onions, braised chicken with mushrooms, braised carp, spicy chicken feet, roast duck, big pork knuckles, eight-treasure porridge, a few big steamed buns, and a bowl of rice!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Li Chang glanced at Li Xuan strangely, stayed for a while, and then quickly left.
Seeing this, Li Xuan looked puzzled.
However, he still explained to Cui Mi on the side: "These meals are what the king eats on weekdays. I don't know what the princess likes to eat, so I ordered them roughly first. In the future, if the princess wants to eat something,
You can just tell your subordinates to do it."
"In the other courtyard, eating is the most important thing, so the princess does not need to have any scruples!"
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Cui Mi thanked Li Xuan again.
Half an hour later, Li Chang came up with several maids, carrying the meals Li Xuan ordered.
Seeing a table full of food, Cui Mi couldn't help but be surprised again.
"Your Majesty, how can you finish eating so much food?"
"Don't worry, Princess, I will leave all the food you have left to me!"
Li Xuan comforted him and took the lead.
This kind of rice has less steamed buns and more food, so you don’t have to worry about not being able to finish it.
Cui Mi ate this kind of food for the first time. After taking the first bite, his eyes couldn't help but light up, and the tachyon in his hand never stopped.
I ate twice as much as usual today!
After the meal, Li Xuan completely returned to his usual lazy days.
After finishing eating, Cui Mi was allowed to look around on the rooftop of the third floor with a clairvoyant eye.
And he went to the forge.
After walking for so long, Le Tai and others must have researched something, right?
Li Xuan was vaguely looking forward to it.
"Meet the king!"
In the papermaking workshop, when they saw Li Xuan's figure, Bandai, Li Dashi and others looked happy and quickly saluted Li Xuan.
"Get up quickly!"
Li Xuan nodded slightly and looked at the three large pots being steamed.
"Any progress?"
"Your Majesty, forgive me!"
Bandai looked ashamed, "In the past few days, the villain and others have made a few pieces of pure white bamboo paper, but it is still very difficult to achieve the speed required by the king!"
"Bamboo paper?"
Li Xuan was overjoyed and asked quickly: "Where is the bamboo paper?"
"Your Majesty, please look!"
On the side, the bandstand quickly pointed to a glass cabinet on the side.
"These papers are indeed much whiter than the previous paper!"
Li Xuan looked over and saw a stack of thick white papers neatly stacked in the glass cabinet. If you didn't look carefully, you wouldn't be able to see it!
Touching it with his hand, he found that it was smooth and delicate, much better than paper paper, and Li Xuan's eyes showed a hint of satisfaction.
“How fast are these bamboo papers made?”
"Back to your Majesty, I've only been able to forge this much bamboo paper in the past six days!"
Bandai quickly replied, "If compared with Huangzhi, the speed is roughly the same!"
"In this case, we will start making bamboo paper from now on!"
Li Xuan nodded and ordered, "In addition, you will pay more attention to find some places suitable for bamboo growth and plant more bamboos!"
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Bandai nodded quickly.
"In such a short period of time, you have made bamboo paper, which is a great achievement. I will reward you with fifty pieces!" Li Xuan said.
"Thank you, Your Majesty!"
Le Tai, Li Dashi and others immediately beamed with joy.
"You will wait for this period of time to study more on how to speed up the production of bamboo paper. I will take half of these bamboo papers first!"
After looking for a long time and finding nothing, Li Xuan was ready to go back.
"Yes, Your Majesty!"
Several people on the band stage responded again.
Immediately, Li Xuan walked back with a stack of bamboo paper in his arms.
