Chen Kangbo's sudden question stunned Wang Qi for a moment.

"ah?"

Wang Qi, who was about to eat meat, picked up a piece of pork and was about to deliver it to his mouth. When he heard Chen Kangbo’s question, he was a little confused and didn’t have time to eat meat.

He thought about it, blinked his eyes, and asked again: "Mr. Chen, I don't understand very much. What do you mean?"

"I mean, Master Wang, is this kind of meat also available for this kind of construction site? Why do you have to prepare it for us? Isn't it okay to eat the food on the construction site normally?"

Chen Kangbo believed that this bite of pork was definitely prepared specifically for them.

Now it was Wang Qi's turn to be stunned.

"Why does Mr. Chen think so? This is very common pork. The most popular among the people of the Ming Dynasty is this pork. It is not expensive and it is clearly written on the construction site menu. Why should I prepare it specifically?"

“Not expensive?”

Chen Kangbo shook his head: "Ordinary pork is indeed not expensive, and it is even cheaper, but what is expensive is not the pork itself, but the seasoning. To make the pork so delicious and fragrant, it requires a lot of seasonings, spices, and even frosting.

We all know the price of spices and frostings. In order to make this cheap meat, you need to invest such a large amount of spices and frostings. How can it be less expensive? The king is just a meal, why should it be like this?"

After Chen Kangbo's words, Lu You and Yu Yunwen seemed to have realized something. After taking a bite of pork, they looked strange.

tasty.

But it is because it tastes delicious, so it is abnormal...

So how could it be used to eat delicious pork for farmers working on the construction site?

If so many spices and frostings are added, so many people will not lose money?

Even if a famous charity in the folk hired people to do work, it would be enough to be praised. If anyone who came to their house to do work, he would be able to squeeze out his head. If he was given this kind of pork, the house would be able to squeeze out the door for those who came to do work.

After thinking about it for a while, Wang Qi understood what Chen Kangbo meant.

But this time, he couldn't explain to Chen Kangbo with a smile.

He was a little angry.

"King Chen, after the reform, the pigs raised in the Ming Dynasty no longer have such a strong fishy smell. They taste very fragrant, and soy sauce is not so expensive because of the cultivation of beans.

There is a state-owned soy sauce brewing factory in the Ming Dynasty that brews soy sauce on a large scale. It is not surprising that the people of the Ming Dynasty buy some pork and soy sauce home to satisfy their cravings... They don’t say these, but there is something that I think is very strange. Please ask Mr. Chen to solve my doubts."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Kangbo put down his bowls and chopsticks.

He didn't believe what Wang Qi said at all, and just felt that he was slapping the swollen face and pretending to be fat. This kind of meat is not qualified to eat by these mud-legged migrant workers. If they can eat this kind of meat, it is really the kingdom of heaven on earth.

However, Wang Qi's problem stunned him.

"Why do you think that delicious meat is not something that farmers on the construction site can eat? Can't they eat delicious meat? What are the tough reasons why they can't eat delicious meat?"

Wang Qi asked this question, let alone Chen Kangbo, Yu Yunwen and Lu You were also stunned one after another.

They didn't expect Wang Qi to ask this question, so they felt very surprised.

Can't they?

Can't you give them delicious meat?

Why?

Chen Kangbo didn't know how to answer this question, and Yu Yunwen didn't know how to answer it. Lu You stood aside, holding a bowl of fragrant meat, but didn't know how to eat it.

An awkward atmosphere permeated them, but Wang Qi did not feel embarrassed.

He knew very well why these people thought this way and why they had such doubts. He just confirmed the difference between himself and these people, and confirmed the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

It is so lucky to be able to live in the Ming Dynasty, join the Revival, and become that follower, and to have a group of like-minded friends.

So he raised his hand and pointed to his eyes.

"They are the same as us, with two eyes."

He pointed to his nose again.

“There is a nose.”

He pointed to his ears again.

"Have two ears."

Pointed to the mouth again.

"And there is a mouth that can speak and eat."

He pointed his hand at the farmers who gathered together in the distance, holding rice bowls, standing, squatting or sitting for dinner.

"Is there any difference? Why can't they eat delicious meat? Why do they only give them delicious meat when you come and show you how to show you? Look at their appearance, do you seem to have never eaten such meat? Are they hungry?"

Chen Kangbo and others involuntarily followed Wang Qi's pointing toward the farmers in the distance.

They could indeed feel hungry when they were eating with big bowls.

But seeing them talking and laughing, fighting and fighting, and looking at the orderly queuing for food, it was not like the state of suddenly seeing meat after being hungry for a long time.

They are not fighting or robbing, and they can line up to get food one by one without anyone being intimidated by weapons, which proves that they are not panic and they are not worried about not having anything to fill their stomachs.

They trust this place, and they did not feel uncomfortable on this construction site, and the atmosphere was also good.

This kind of déjà vu cannot be pretended or hidden from others.

Moreover, it was quite hot in the north this late August, especially at noon. Although it was hiding under the shed, the farmers still took off their upper clothes and had a lot of bare hands and eating barefoot.

Their bodies are exposed, but not thin.

Wherever I saw, I didn’t see any thin and delicate faces. Their upper body was not very strong. I couldn’t see a person with a big belly, but I couldn’t see a person with a skinny skinny due to hunger. They were all very normal ordinary people.

Seeing this scene, Lu You thought of some of the contents described by Su Yonglin in "Hongwu Political Commentary".

Seeing this scene, Yu Yunwen remembered what he eavesdropped on Wang Qi and Lu You last night.

Seeing this scene, Chen Kangbo suddenly felt anger in his heart for no reason, and he couldn't tell whether it was shame or anger, or just anger.

He spoke.

"There was a system during the Zhou Dynasty. The emperor was in Tailao, and all three animals were complete. The princes ate cattle, sheep, pigs, and animals. The princes ate cattle, the officials ate pigs, the officials ate pigs, the scholars ate fish roast, and the common people ate vegetables. This layer by layer, orderly and without offense, the Zhou rituals were formed, and the world was peaceful, and the saints tried to restore the Zhou rituals until their deaths!

After that, the rituals and music were broken, and the world was in chaos, and the people of the world knew the importance of rules! They knew that if they did not use rules, they could not form a square or a circle. Without rules, the country would be in a state, and the superiors and inferiors would be inseparable from the superiors. How could the dynasty exist? How to govern it? Isn’t it a constant war?

People who do not respect rules do not even respect the emperor. Can you still care about you a commoner? You are not going to slaughter a city today and a city tomorrow, and feed on human flesh! Can commoner live and work in peace? The reason why rules exist is to protect everyone from those who violate the rules!"

Chen Kangbo said angrily: "Since ancient times, from three generations to the present, all dynasties have orderly and distinctive high and low, and all dynasties have been like this! What's wrong with it?"

Chen Kangbo's words sounded a little irresponsible, but Wang Qi understood it very clearly.

Although what Chen Kangbo said seemed to be very reasonable, Wang Qi was not affected at all.

"It's always been like this, right?"

Chen Kangbo was stunned and didn't know how to answer this question.

Fortunately, Wang Qi didn't need his answer.

He had many questions, and he knew that Chen Kangbo could not answer at all.

"In order not to be killed by the rebel soldiers, can you watch them starve to death, freeze to death, and be beaten to death?"

"Why can't they be filled? Why can't they be eaten with meat? Why can't they be eaten with delicious meat?"

"Are they born to eat only chaff?"

Chen Kangbo was speechless, searching his mind, and passing through all his extensive knowledge, and didn't know how to answer this question.

He saw his subordinates looking at him, Yu Yunwen and Lu You looking at him, and the attendants at other tables were also looking at him.

He felt embarrassed, his face turned red and he was very embarrassed.
