The four hundred and ninety-ninth section of the foodie's madness(1/2)

In the September 19th autumn of the first year of Yanhe (the first day of the lunar month).

The emperor issued an edict saying: I have entrusted my selves to the kings of the world. Forty-six years, I have been able to pacify the people, my kindness cannot be far away, and I am trembling as if I were walking on thin ice, for fear that my unworthiness would harm the legacy of the late emperor.

In the past, in the summer of Guanzhong, there was no sign of the capital for the year. The people were trapped in hunger and cold. I felt very sorry for them, so I ordered the scholars, officials and ministers to adopt a "raiser system" and give rice according to households to alleviate the people's difficulties.

Now Chang'an is outbreak again, and the disease of typhoid fever usurped the whole city, and the people were frightened.

Relying on the blessings of our ancestors, the spirit of the country, and the blessings of God, I dreamed that Emperor Gao gave me medicine, so I sent the Minister Zhang Yi and Shangguan Jie to use it, and the typhoid fever died!

The book says: If the net is in the outline, it will be orderly and orderly!

Alas! The virtues of the former kings are so beautiful!

He shares medicine with the world. The scholars, officials and ministers should know my intentions and tell them widely, so as to understand the subjects of the world.

The imperial edict sent the Censor, and the Censor General Fengsheng got it. He was frightened and read it with the ministers and then wrote to congratulate him: "Your Majesty is grateful for the great virtues in the world, and the scholars and the people see it, and I see it with me. In the summer of Guanzhong, the epidemic is sick in Chang'an, Your Majesty defeated him with great virtues. Now the people are all healthy and the epidemic has dissipated. I think that even the ancient Tangwu and Pan Geng were not as good as Your Majesty's rule! Since ancient times, the kings have achieved success in governing music, but I am stupid. Please order the Taichang to make music to offer to the ancestral temple!"

The memorial arrived at Lantai and received a reply soon: Yes!

So Taichang Qing Shang Qiucheng was ordered to formulate a set of music and dance for Dangxi to praise His Majesty's virtues and achievements.

This is almost shameless and I am asking the people of the world for a temple name after death!

Because only a king with a temple name can enjoy a set of music and dances in the ancestral temple after death.

If it were before, no one would dare to be so shameless!

After all, the late emperor had such great achievements that he had not obtained a temple name.

Even at its peak, I dare not think about this.

But now it's different.

At least in the eyes of the world, this Majesty is really extremely powerful this year and is majestic!

First, the drought in Guanzhong led to a complete failure of harvest, and a major disaster was about to occur.

result……

Until now, the price of rice in Guanzhong has not fluctuated and has always been controlled at a level of about 100 coins per stone.

and……

Because of the influx of wheat flour, squat trolley and trowel products, the dietary structure of the people in Guanzhong has been greatly enriched.

Especially the dietary structure of the middle and upper class aristocratic landlords and literati.

Instead, they gained a lot of weight and became much healthier because of this.

Many nobles who had some stomach problems and other chronic diseases even had their condition relieved because they took turns to eat buns, noodles, konjac tofu, and taro vermicelli.

As for the people at the bottom?

In such a famine, I was not hungry.

They are even full now!

Because the popularity and popularity of wheat flour leads to the wheat flour quota they hold can be exchanged for cheap squat and head products at twice or triple.

The taste of squat trolley and taro products is of course not as good as wheat flour or corn.

I even feel a little uncomfortable after eating too much.

But where do the people still care about these things?

In the past, in the famine years, the hungry people could even chew on grass roots and tree bark.

Now, it is already very good to be able to eat enough or eat half full.

The subsequent typhoid epidemic in Chang'an City proved to the world with unquestionable achievements.

It only took three days from the outbreak to the complete control of the epidemic.

It only took five days to completely eliminate the epidemic.

Within five days, most of the patients in Chang'an City were basically cured.

In the eyes of the world, this is no longer a miracle, but a miracle!

Especially when this Majesty told the ministers that he had personally told the medicine to cure typhoid fever, he dreamed of the guidance of Emperor Gao, and then taught the minister Zhang Zizhong and the minister Shangguan Shaoshu to carry out the medicine.

Who dares to say anything isn't it?

Who can question what?

In short, the court and the country are full of praises.

It was also under such circumstances that this Majesty, without blushing his face and heartbroken, instructed him to win over and play such a play.

The effect is of course great!

Maybe in Chang'an City, there will be some suspicion.

But after leaving the gate of Chang'an City, it is really the sea and the saint is born!

The people of Guanzhong had a good impression of the Liu family.

Some time ago, the summer drought in Guanzhong led to a large-scale failure of harvest, but the country did not ignore it, but instead invested a lot of manpower, material resources and resources.

At least it ensures basic people's livelihood needs.

This is even more of a plus.

Now, we all heard that the emperor can even overcome typhoid fever, and there is also a scene of pretending to kill all groups such as the God of High Emperor who is entrusting dreams.

Of course the people believed it.

For a time, the rule of the Han Dynasty was not small but big!

Almost the people in Guanzhong were busy singing praises to the Holy Emperor while collecting various willow barks, platycodons, gardenias, orange peels, and cinnamon twigs.

only……

There is still a disharmonious voice. The gossip party in Chang'an City is telling another version of the story in private.

However, now, these sounds are ignored.

It's even considered nonsense!

…………………………

In such a harmonious sound, Zhang Yue sat in a side hall in the Yutang, watching dozens of eunuchs and palace maids picking on bird's nests.

These bird's nests were just picked from the cliffs of Zhan'erjun, and then sent to Chang'an at a speed of 800 miles.

There are about hundreds of them in total.

Each one is the best pure natural wild bird's nest.

If it were later generations, the price of this batch of bird's nest would probably be several million.

But nowadays, their biggest cost is just transportation costs.

As for the collection cost?

Zhang Yue heard that it seems that there are only a few pieces of cloth in total...

Looking at these bird's nests, Zhang Yue also smiled: "This is a good start..."

With bird's nest, Zhuya and Zhan'er, it is no longer a barren land.

For bird's nest, many people will go to the local area to explore.

As long as there are more people, people will soon find that Zhuya and Zhan'er have land that can be mature three times a year.

Of course, Artemisia annua is also a must-have.

Thinking of this in my heart, Zhang Yue's mood became very good.

"Shizhong Gong... see, have you picked it clean?" An eunuch, holding a plate of white bird's nest silk soaked in the water, presented it to Zhang Yue and asked respectfully.

Zhang Yue looked down and saw that the bird's nests that had been soaked for two or three hours were white in color and had no impurities. He nodded with satisfaction: "It's done well... and go and receive the reward later..."

He picked up the bird's nest and walked towards Yutang's kitchen.

After taking a urn that specializes in cooking food, Zhang Yue picked up about ten grams of bird's nest, put it into the urn, then mixed it with clean water, put more than ten grams of red dates and a spoon of honey (there is no way, let alone sugar cubes, there is not even brown sugar...).

Then cook slowly over low heat.

Around him, more than a dozen chefs from Tang Guanling were paying attention to it with all their attention and did not dare to miss any details.

After Zhang Yue did all this, he shook his hand, walked out of the kitchen, took a book of Jianshu, and lay in the yard to bask in the sun.

Half an hour later, he brought the boiled bird's nest to the emperor with the aroma of boiling.

"Your Majesty, please use..." Zhang Yue smiled and said, "This is bird's nest soup, which can nourish the yin and moisten the lungs, nourish the body, and a cup of a day can prolong life..."

When the emperor heard this, his eyes lit up.

Now, he has 100% confidence in Zhang Yue in health preservation.

Because, so far, he followed Zhang Yue's advice and everything he did was effective.

So he couldn't wait to pick up the soup spoon and taste the bird's nest soup.
To be continued...
