Sitting on the swaying carriage, His Majesty Li Er felt a slight heartache.
He had been struggling these days, but finally decided on the reward he wanted to give Su Chen.
Gold, silver and treasures are all things that must be given, no need to mention them again!
But the most precious thing is what His Majesty Li Er has always held in his hands!
It was a very delicate brocade box. The brocade box was made of fine huanghuali wood, and the decorations outside were made of gold!
Just such a box is already worth a lot of money!
Along the way, His Majesty Li Er carefully held the brocade box in his hand. This shows that this thing is absolutely unimaginably precious!
Originally, His Majesty Li Er could leave the matter of rewards to Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng, but he insisted on doing it himself!
Not for anything else, just to make Su Chen dumbfounded after seeing this treasure!
For such a long time, His Majesty Li Er has not heard a single kind word from Su Chen. They have all scolded him!
But now, His Majesty Li Er endured the pain to bring out such a treasure. He didn't believe it. After Su Chen saw the treasure, he was still moved and cried bitterly, and then supported and praised Li Shimin!
Then, he took advantage of the victory and pursued it, and directly took Su Chen under his command!
I even imagined in my heart how excited Su Chen would be when the time came!
His Majesty Li Er was full of confidence, and a silly smile appeared on his face unconsciously...
In addition, after Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng discussed it, His Majesty Li Er also set other rewards for Su Chen.
First of all, the discoverer of sweet potatoes is Su Chen, and this cannot be concealed.
In this era, most people, from the emperor to the common people, believe in the feudal superstitious theories of ghosts and gods such as destiny and luck.
There is no doubt that the birth of sweet potatoes will be a great merit that benefits millions of people!
If someone dares to covet it, God will definitely punish him!
But in order to stabilize Su Chen, when publicizing to the outside world, except for the name, all other information was kept confidential.
Changsun Wuji and Xingzheng agreed very much with this plan.
But what is in the small box in His Majesty's arms?
"Your Majesty, what on earth is this?" Changsun Wuji asked curiously, pointing to the brocade box.
"The secret must not be leaked! You will know it later." Your Majesty Li Er looked mysterious and unpredictable.
"If it weren't for the fact that this bastard has made several meritorious deeds and only relied on a sweet potato, I would really be reluctant to give him this reward."
His Majesty Li Er said with great distress while stroking the brocade box gently.
Seeing this, Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng became even more curious and felt itchy along the way!
To be valued so highly by His Majesty shows that this item is definitely not an ordinary treasure!
Soon, several people arrived at Wannian County.
Because they have come frequently, most of the farmers in Zhuangzi know them.
"I haven't seen you for a while. Are you here to see the young master again today?"
After getting off the car, a farmer squatting on the threshold to eat said hello.
This person was one of the villagers who beat up His Majesty Li Er because of the waste of refined salt when they first came here.
I have been here many times, and now I am quite familiar with it.
"Old Zhao, are you eating?"
His Majesty Li Er was in a good mood and said with a smile.
After that, he walked up to him and looked at the rice bowl in his hand. It was all vegetarian, and he joked: "Old Zhao, isn't your Sujiazhuang quite wealthy? Why is there not even a little bit of oil in this bowl?"
No?"
Old Zhao raised his head, glanced sideways at His Majesty Li Er, and said calmly: "Old Li, you don't know this. Now we people in Sujiazhuang like to eat some vegetarian food!"
“I’m tired of eating meat every day!”
"In the words of our young master, if you eat meat all the time, you will have too much oil and water in your stomach, which is not good for your health. You need to eat some vegetarian food to remove the oil in your stomach, so that you can live longer!"
Hearing this, His Majesty Li Er suddenly felt that his good mood was ruined!
Just now he was happy that the people would be able to eat sweet potatoes and no longer have to go hungry.
It turns out, good guy, these villagers of Su Chen are even tired of eating meat!
Even if he were the emperor, he would not dare to say this!
For a moment, all the good feelings I had for Su Chen disappeared!
Damn local gentry and evil tyrants!!
At this time, it seemed to be to prove what Lao Zhao said.
A big yellow dog with shiny fur swung its tail and ran out of Lao Zhao's house in a swagger. There was also a big bone in its mouth, and there was actually a big piece of meat on it!
Seeing this scene, not to mention His Majesty Li Er, even Changsun Wuji and Wei Zheng felt very angry and angry!
With their status, they naturally have no shortage of money and things, and their quality of life is also very high.
However, even Li Shimin, as the emperor, could not be so extravagant as to feed meat to dogs!
When His Majesty Li Er saw this scene, his face darkened a little, and he said angrily: "Old Zhao, I know your Sujiazhuang is rich, but you can't waste it like this?!"
"Do you know how many people can't even eat soup cakes now?!"
"You actually use meat to feed animals?"
In the early days of Zhenguan, in order to curb the local extravagance, His Majesty Li Er issued an edict prohibiting officials from eating meat when traveling.
Even local officials are not allowed to eat meat, but the villagers in Sujiazhuang actually feed meat to their dogs?!
Is this still something humans do?!
Hearing the excitement in His Majesty Li Er's tone, Old Zhao was not angry, but said slowly: "Old Li, you can't blame us for this. We will take this meat to the Fang Market in Chang'an City and sell it for more than
The soup cakes are still cheap, but no one wants them!”
"It will break if left for a long time, so it can only be used to feed livestock!"
Lao Zhao's tone was a little regretful, and it seemed that this was really the case.
Hearing this, Changsun Wuji was startled and asked in confusion: "How can meat be cheaper than soup cakes?!"
How could meat be cheaper than soup cakes?!
Even if this is the case, why would no one want it?!
Changsun Wuji almost thought there was something wrong with his ears!
"Because this is cheap meat." Lao Zhao said casually.
oh!
It turns out to be pork!
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the three people instantly softened.
The cheap meat that Lao Zhao calls is actually pork.
In this era, pork is fishy and smelly, and it is difficult to raise it when it is roaming around. If ordinary people are not really too poor, they will only eat some pork if they have no choice.
So it makes sense to say that pork is cheaper than soup cakes and no one wants it.
"Yes, it is indeed better to eat less of such smelly meat as pork." His Majesty Li Er nodded, feeling that the conditions in Sujiazhuang were not good enough for them to eat good meat casually.
