Chapter 523 Accumulating small victories into big victories
Chang Sun Chong was stunned by Yun Chu's words.
Looking at Wen Wenwen and then at Di Renjie, he found that the expressions of the two people had not changed much, so he confirmed again: "You mean, as long as you have it, you can exchange it?"
Yunchu said sternly: "My wife can't get along with my BMW."
Changsun Chong smiled and said: "No one is interested in your wife and BMW. Now, I just want to know whether peppers, potatoes, corns, sweet potatoes, and pumpkins you mentioned really exist?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "I have planted nearly an acre of peppers, and now they are all growing."
Changsun Chong said: "You planted it in the East Palace?"
Yun Chu nodded and said, "That's right. Do you want to go take a look and taste my newly developed chili dishes?"
Changsun Chong widened his eyes and said, "Is it really possible?"
Yunchu said: "When the peppers mature, I can give you some seeds. The peppers themselves are a crop and we were planning to vigorously promote them.
Why is Brother Changsun so surprised?"
Just when Changsun Chong was stunned and speechless, Rourou urged Di Renjie: "Let's go now, let's go now."
Changsun Chong shook his head at this time and said: "Because of some things in the past, it is not easy for Changsun to meet the prince."
Yun Chu said in surprise: "Why, is Changsun still thinking about those irrelevant hatreds?"
Changsun Chong shook his head and said: "It depends on the prince."
Yun Chu laughed and said, "The prince is only nine years old this year, not nineteen."
Changsun Chong suddenly smiled and pointed at Yunchu and said, "Why, are you interested in the Changsun family's inheritance?"
Wen Wen said on the side: "The inheritance of the Changsun family is very attractive."
Changsun Chong chuckled and said: "Judging from the current situation, the foundation of the Changsun family may be poisonous, especially to the prince."
Di Renjie smiled and said, "Try it."
This time, Changsun Chong did not hesitate and followed Yunchu and the others out of the imperial city and along the walls of the imperial city to the East Palace.
When Changsun Chong saw the fruitful pepper tree, he was silent for a long time, and even picked a slender pepper and put it into his sleeve.
Li Hong is in class again. Today, the person teaching the prince is the prince's guest, Xu Jingzong, the Minister of Rites.
Judging from what Xu Jingzong told, what he told Prince Li Hong today was "The Book of Shang Jun".
The content in "Shang Jun Shu" is the real dragon slaying technique, which is as famous as "Warring States Policy".
Scholars in the Tang Dynasty did not have a high opinion of "The Book of Shang Jun", and generally believed that the content described in this book was too bizarre.
Yun Chu likes this book very much, because, in his opinion, this book tells what class is, what contradictions are, what productivity is, what production relations are, and under what circumstances conflicts will intensify.
A really good book.
From the fact that Xu Jingzong dared to teach Li Hong "Shang Jun Shu", it can be seen that Xu Jingzong was not lacking in talent, knowledge and knowledge at all.
It's just that the whole person has no moral character and looks very vulgar. He should be very vulgar.
When everyone is giving lectures, if you can listen to the lecture for a while, you should listen to the lecture carefully.
This has nothing to do with this person's character. I just want to understand this person's focus from his understanding of "Shang Jun Shu", and finally infer the way he does things.
After Xu Jingzong finished his lecture, he walked out of the school shakily. Sun Chong, Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie stood outside the door and bowed to him. They nodded very indifferently and left with the books in their bags.
Went to the school.
Judging from his old age and eloquent expression during the lecture just now, this man should be a wise man. Unfortunately, after this old bastard finishes his lecture, he will immediately go home to watch the prostitutes riding naked.
It can truly be said that one learns from old age.
Li Hong has been taught by Yunchu like a slippery octopus covered in mucus.
He was not surprised at all when he saw Changsun Chong. He first accepted the etiquette from the four people as the prince, and then met Changsun Chong as a junior.
I want to slap you a few times.
Several people came to the pepper field again, and Li Hong said to Yunchu: "I invited my father and mother to taste the pepper, but my father refused verbally, but my mother took a bite and said that the taste was very special.
I wonder if Magistrate Yun has any other cooking methods so that these peppers can be put on the dining tables of thousands of households?"
Yun Chu smiled and said: "Of course it exists, but we need to really arouse the people's liking for this thing before we can create more ways to eat it.
So the people who can really make an ingredient taste delicious are definitely not gourmets like us, but ordinary people."
Changsun Chong shook his head when he heard this and said: "The food is never tired of fine food, and the food is never tired of fine food. This is the pursuit of scholar-bureaucrats. Ordinary people don't have the leisure to think about whether they can eat well. They just want to eat enough."
Yun Chu smiled and said, "Do the disciples of Gaoliang also know the sufferings of the people?"
Changsun Chong said with a smile: "I didn't know it at first, but after I became an official, in order to prevent people from saying that I was the one above him, I reluctantly learned some.
What, what I said is wrong?"
Yun Chu sighed and said, "That's so damn right."
Seeing the conflict between Yun Chu and Zhang Sun, Li Hong said with a smile: "It's better to choose a different day than to hit the sun. Since there are so many people here today, we might as well try the chili dish again."
Li Hong is the prince and the owner of the East Palace. Naturally, he has the final say in everything here.
Over the past few days, the chef of the East Palace has learned a lot of chili dishes from Fei San of the Yun family.
After Li Hong gave the order, a dish of fried pork with green pepper, a dish of yellow beef with pepper, a dish of pork stuffed with pepper, and a dish of fried eggplant with green pepper were quickly served.
Li Hong pointed to one of the dishes, fried eggplant with chili pepper, and said to Changsun Chong: "This is a dish that my mother has tasted. She said she liked it, but she disliked the heat and didn't eat much of it."
After he finished speaking, he picked up his chopsticks and took a bite of each of the four unseparated dishes on the table.
Changsun Chong watched Li Hong do this and couldn't help but said: "His Royal Highness has developed his bearing."
Li Hong smiled and said: "I can't stand some ghost mentality. I just think that it is best to treat others with sincerity. Even if I am wronged in the future, it is others who wronged me, not me, Li Hong, who wronged others."
Changsun Chong imitated Li Hong and ate four chili dishes with a normal expression. He did not eat the dishes in a perfunctory manner, but tasted each dish carefully.
After eating, although he kept breathing in the spicy chili pepper and sweating all over his head, he drank a lot of water and said, "The flavor is unique."
This meal was originally prepared for Chang Sun Chong on the spot. Yun Chu, Wen Wen, and Di Renjie did not move their chopsticks.
Yunchu saw that Li Hong dealt with him appropriately, so with tenderness, Di Renjie left the restaurant where he was eating and went to see his chili.
Wen Wenwen picked the peppers and said, "Can the prince deal with Changsun Chong? I think he is too careless."
Di Renjie said: "The eldest son's family's foundation is too huge. Now that the prince has started plotting, he cannot avoid it.
However, the prince’s treatment of the Changsun family is only to collect their family’s inheritance, which does not include helping the Changsun family to avoid disaster now.”
Yun Chu said: "The prince only needs to tell Changsun Chong that he has no grudge against the Changsun family and that he doesn't take it to heart about some of the dirty things in the past. This is enough."
Wen Wen said: "The emperor's belongings belong to the emperor, and the prince's belongings belong to the prince. Do you think this can be separated?"
Di Renjie put the chili pepper in his hand into a basket and said: "The prince without strength can only resign himself to fate, but the prince with strength can sometimes jump up and down with his own strength.
For now, I just hope that when Changsun fights with the emperor, he will not lose too badly and leave something for the prince."
Wen Wen shook her head and said, "This feeling of eating leftovers is very uncomfortable for me."
Yun Chu laughed and said: "You are not afraid of small benefits, but you are afraid of no benefits. As long as the prince can get some benefits from every turmoil that the Tang Dynasty court experienced, it will accumulate over time."
If you do it, you can accumulate small wins into big wins.”
From the beginning to the end, Yun Chu, Gentle, and Di Renjie didn't know what the prince said to Chang Sun Chong, but when the four people left the East Palace with four baskets of peppers, Chang Sun Chong's face was always ugly.
When Yun Chu entered the gate, he looked carefully at Fei Jiu, who was sitting under the locust tree outside the gatehouse, drinking tea.
These days, he always felt that something was wrong with this guy, and he couldn't tell what was wrong.
It's just that the large pockmarks on his face seemed to be shining, and he still looked a little fat, but after seeing Yun Chu come back, his skills when he jumped up looked much sharper.
Uh...it's just that he looks more like a man
This sentence is actually a sick sentence. Fei Jiu himself is a real man, but Fei Jiu these days gives Yunchu the feeling that he really looks like a man.
"You must tell me if you have anything!" Yun Chu gave Fei Jiu the basket of chili peppers and specifically asked him.
After living as a master and servant for so many years, Yun Chu still trusts Fei Jiu very much. If something unacceptable happens at this time, it will really make Yun Chu sad.
Fei Jiu hugged the pepper basket and said, "Our master and servant always talk about everything. Don't worry, nothing will happen."
Yun Chu shook his head, shook off the messy thoughts in his head, and went to the back house.
It was so hot that the old monkey finally couldn't cover himself up in the fur. He wore a loose silk robe and squatted on the low wall of the garden to explore the pomegranate tree in Yun's backyard that was still trying to bloom in June.
"Pomegranates are ripe very early."
Yunchu was looking for something to say when he had nothing to say.
The old monkey looked back at Yunchu and said, "Some disciples of Master Xuanzang want to leave and prepare to enter the Vinaya Sect."
Yun Chu said: "Why is this?"
The old monkey said: "Since Master Xuanzang taught the scriptures to his disciples two years ago, he just immersed himself in translating the scriptures and ignored them. They have certain doubts about Master Xuanzang's knowledge."
Yun Chu thought for a moment and said, "It's not because you have been lazy since you injured your leg that you gave them the illusion that Master Xuanzang had nothing to do with them."
The old monkey reached out and picked a late-blooming pomegranate flower from the pomegranate tree, handed it to Yun Chu and said, "This is the result of not practicing well."
