Chapter 214 This, this is the Imperial Study Room (2)
So, sometimes, it's just such a coincidence.
Some things, no matter what they are called, even if they change the world, they will always be called the same by chance.
Since it is definitely edible, the insect plague in Yunzhou is not a problem. In fact, it can even make a fortune to fill the national treasury. Take it from the people and use it to the people.
Narrowing his eyes slightly, Zhao Chengji instantly had an idea in his mind.
"From now on, let the world know that the fat beetle is named crab and is an edible aquatic food."
"Inform the people of all counties in Yunzhou that the government will purchase all crabs caught within three days at the price of fish."
"Also contact major local restaurants..."
With some arrangements by Zhao Chengji, the problem of the fat beetle infestation in Yunzhou was finally solved.
This is their Emperor, His Majesty.
Everyone present knelt down in unison.
"The Emperor's Holy Ming..."
Whether it is sage or not is what others say.
As the emperor of the Northern Territory, as long as he stays in this position for a day, it is his responsibility to the people of the world.
And now...
In addition to that responsibility, privately, he also wanted to give the mother and son a stable home.
Feeling his gaze resting on her, Yu Lan raised her head and met his gaze.
With a chuckle, Yu Lan reached out and held his hand, gently rubbing his fingers with his.
Warm.
close.
There is a deep love that lingers in the hearts of the two of them, and they can feel it even if they don't say it.
…
In the afternoon, the government posted the imperial list.
"By God's blessing, the emperor issued an edict to announce today to both China and foreign countries. During this period, the area around Yunzhou was infested with fat beetles. Fortunately, Concubine Chen reminded us that the fat beetles might be edible food.
After identification by Taiyuan Hospital, it has been determined that the fat beetle is edible and rich in nutrients. From now on, the fat beetle will be named crab, and it is an edible aquatic food. The taboo is that this food is cold in nature and has the effect of promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis. Pregnant women
Women who are pregnant should not eat it. Otherwise, it may cause physical discomfort in the slightest and lead to miscarriage in the serious case. I hereby declare to the world..."
soon.
The news that the fat beetle had given the name crab and that it was still edible spread like the wind throughout the streets and alleys of cities and counties across the country.
Not only in Yunzhou, but also in many places, as long as there are fields, these crabs are very arrogant. Now that they know that they are edible, the people have only one idea, the time has come for revenge.
It smells so good...
Especially Yunzhou.
As the saying goes, money can make the world go round.
No, crabs are not only edible, but the government can also buy them at the price of fish. To the people of Yunzhou, this is free money.
As soon as the news came out.
The whole Yunzhou people were excited. Their waists were no longer sore and their legs were no longer hurting. They rushed into the crab swarm in a swarm. They looked just like the bandits when they entered the village.
For these people, catching crabs is nothing but money.
One grabs a sack, the other grabs a sack.
This is not a plague of insects, this is a gift from God.
In this way, the people of Yunzhou are catching crabs in full swing.
At the same time, major local restaurants, under the supervision of the government, officially made crabs a dish for people to try and then sell.
After that, steamed crabs, boiled crabs, braised crabs, crab roe buns, crab roe porridge... As soon as these various ways of eating came out, the business was booming, making people want to eat more.
There are too many crabs in Yunzhou. What should I do if I can’t finish them all? It’s okay, don’t panic. The government directly transports the crabs to neighboring counties by horse-drawn carriage. They are sold to various restaurants and wealthy businessmen.
In short, after cartloads of crabs were sent out, boxes of silver were brought back. Although some crabs will die along the way, it doesn’t matter, crabs are still very hard-lived. As long as there is water, then
He won't die for several days.
No, it only took three days to catch all the crabs that were flooding throughout Yunzhou. At this time, the roads and streets were cleaned up by the government.
Perhaps, from time to time, you can still see crabs passing by on the ground, but the solitary ones have nothing to do with the flooding. Anyway, if you see them, pick them up and take them home. Pick up a few more, wash them and throw them into the pot to cook.
Get some vinegar and eat it casually, it will be very fragrant.
Since ancient times, there has been a saying that water can carry a boat but also capsize it, and the people's hearts are invincible. This is really not just talk.
It can only be said that the power of the people is huge. Especially when it comes to eating, it is innate.
"It is a blessing for our people that the emperor has such a concubine."
"No, I heard that Concubine Chen just couldn't bear to see us Yunzhou people suffer, so she came up with this method."
"Concubine Chen comes from the common people, so it is certain that she can put herself in the shoes of the common people."
"Concubine Chen is now pregnant. Soon our Northern Kingdom will have a prince and princess born."
"This is blessing. Our empress must be blessed..."
Since then, Yunzhou's crabs have become famous. Anyone who goes there will always order a local specialty and drink it with wine. However, these are things for the future.
After this crab incident, Yu Lan became famous.
She was just canonized as Concubine Chen, and in the blink of an eye she solved the problem of overrun crabs for the people. From then on, when people mentioned her, she was the mother of crabs. In short, Yu Lan's status in the hearts of the people is rising.
.
This was also Zhao Chengji's intention.
So what if you have a low status?
He wants to subtly make everyone feel that Yu Lan is the well-deserved queen. By then, making her the queen will be what the people want.
Yu Lan didn't know what Zhao Chengji had done.
For her, she doesn't care about these false reputations.
It would be great if I could help the child's father.
…
The sun sets in the evening.
After Yu Lan came out of Rongxi Palace, she went to the Imperial Study Room. At this moment, her child's father was handling government affairs there.
These days, her grandfather has been so busy that he wakes up earlier than a chicken and goes to bed later than a dog.
Seeing him so tired, Yu Lan really felt sorry for him, but there was nothing she could do to help him.
Her father was a good emperor who worked diligently and loved his people, so thank you for his hard work.
When he arrived at the imperial study room, Yu Lan saw the guards guarding the door.
That's Yanqi.
Today, he is dressed in light gray clothes, with his hair tied high. He has long eyebrows like willows and a body like a jade tree. His dress is no different from the past. It is simple and refreshing, and he holds a long sword in his hand. He looks aloof.
serious.
Young and old, he is the one I am talking about.
Seeing Yu Lan coming, Yan Qi stepped forward and bowed.
"I see you, your Majesty."
Seeing him, Yu Lan smiled lightly and said, "No courtesy."
Yan Qi: "Thank you, empress."
At this time, the door to the imperial study room was open.
Glancing at the door, Yu Lan asked in a low voice, "Is he still busy?"
