Li Er waved his hands speechlessly, "No, no, I'm just curious!"
"What's so curious about this?" The man glanced at Li Er with disdain. "In the past, we common people couldn't afford mutton, let alone chicken, duck, and fish. We could hardly eat one meal of meat a year. Now the county government office
In the pig farm, black pork only costs five cents a pound, and everyone can eat the meat. What's wrong with this? But the man named Chen Tian is opposed to pork, which is simply unacceptable... Now it's better, even the imperial court
The high officials say that pork is delicious and can cure diseases. Let’s see who dares to object to eating pork.”
Li Er was stunned immediately.
Since he arrived in Hu County, he has seen the fuss over pork and he has eaten a lot of pork himself.
But most people around me are opposed to eating pork.
Most of the news I receive every day is that someone in a certain place is raising a banner to oppose pork.
Li Er has always thought that in today's world, there are many people who oppose eating pork, and it is not easy for Du He to promote pork.
The man waved his hand and left.
Li Er waved and called Du He over: "Du He, what do you think about this matter?"
Du He said with a smile: "Whatever Your Majesty sees, I will see as well. If Your Majesty is the shining sun in the sky, I am just a small firefly beside you. Whatever Your Majesty says will be whatever it is."
The corners of Li Er's mouth twitched: "..."
Du He chuckled: "Your Majesty seems to be wondering why all the opposition to pork was heard before, but today, there are so many people supporting pork, right?"
"Exactly!"
"Your Majesty, the reason is very simple. Those who oppose pork are dignitaries, nobles, nobles, and officials. These people have very bad consciences. Some of them believe that pork is not good because of hearsay.
It may be harmful to the human body, so it is understandable that they are opposed to pork. However, there are still many people who are used to living a life of superiority. They do not want the people to eat pork. If everyone in the world eats pork, then mutton and other meats will
The price will definitely drop, and then the sheep in the hands of these people will naturally be sold at a low price, and pork is beyond their control, so they must oppose pork..."
After a pause, Du He continued: "Your Majesty, I went to check on Chen Tian a few days ago. Chen Tian, this bitch, kept claiming that he was against pork on behalf of the saint, but what others didn't know was that his Chen family made it.
It is the meat business of the entire Hu County. Mutton, chicken, duck, fish, and 80% of the meat supplied in the county town come from the Chen family. Once pork is liberalized, the Chen family's business will bear the brunt. Chen Tian is opposed to pork.
, self-explanatory.”
Um?
Li Er was stunned.
Is there such a relationship among them?
He waved Zhao Yang over: "Go and check!"
"yes!"
Wang Gui hurried over and said: "Your Majesty, you must not believe Du He's words. I have contacted Chen Tian. This man is worthy of being a great scholar in Hu County. He is very knowledgeable and indifferent to fame and fortune. It is absolutely impossible to do business, let alone
Maybe he’s against pork for his own business.”
During the period of opposing pork, Wang Gui and Chen Tian had a close relationship. They felt like old friends at first sight. They ate together, slept together, and had a close relationship.
In Wang Gui's view, Chen Tian is like a hermit, with noble moral character and integrity.
Now, Du He was slandering him here, and he couldn't stand it.
Du He smiled: "Mr. Wang, you keep saying that Chen Tian is indifferent to fame and fortune. If this is not the case, what will you do?"
"You can do whatever you want!"
"Okay, if Mr. Wang loses, look at these two pieces of pork monument..." Du He looked at Wang Gui with a smile.
Wang Gui patted his chest: "If I lose, these two stone tablets will stand here forever, and no one can tear them down."
"Okay, Mr. Wang, a gentleman's words are as fast as his horse's whip!" Du He said loudly.
Next to him, Changsun Wuji was wandering in his mind, and he suddenly realized, "Wang Gui of Gouri, there are two stone tablets, the other one is engraved with my name, why do you make the decision for me?"
He opened his mouth and was about to object, but saw Zhao Yang coming in a hurry.
Zhao Yang came to Li Er and whispered: "Your Majesty, I have found out that although Chen Tian lives in seclusion, he has been instructing his nephews to do business. The Chen family's biggest business is mutton. Since the pig catching brigade was established in Dahu County, Shu
His Highness Wang led the pig-catching brigade to capture all the wild animals in the surrounding area, and most of them were sold to people in the county. The Chen family's business was also affected. Chen Tian had long criticized this... This time he followed Chen Tian to oppose pork.
Most of the family members are related to business!"
Everything is clear.
"Humph, what a great scholar from Hu County! I also read the "Book of Begging for Pork". It is awe-inspiring and every sentence represents the words of a saint. Who would have thought that Chen Tian actually had such a purpose... Come and pass it on to me.
By decree, Chen Tian of Hu County, who is quite knowledgeable, indifferent to fame and fortune, and a noble man, is given a plaque saying 'Not interested in fame and fortune'." Li Er's voice gradually became cold.
Plop.
Beside him, Wang Gui fell to his knees on the ground.
He shouted: "Your Majesty, minister, it is a capital crime, a capital crime!"
Li Er glanced at Wang Gui: "Wang Qing's family, you are considered a senior member of the court, but it depends on the person's ability, you still can't do it!"
"Your Majesty taught you a lesson very well!"
"Okay, get up. Just keep this pork monument. It can also serve as a wake-up call for Wang Qing's family." Li Er said calmly.
"I thank your Majesty for your irresponsible kindness." Wang Gui hurriedly stood up and said, "What your Majesty said is absolutely true. Although I am a former member of the court and a Situ, I was deceived by a villain like Chen Tian.
Shu, it is worth being vigilant. In the future, as long as I think of the Pork Monument in Hu County, I will not make such a mistake. I boldly make the decision and take out a thousand coins and ask Du He to send people to guard these two stone monuments. Don't do it.
Have someone tear it down..."
Changsun Wuji's face was full of excitement, and he was about to open his mouth when he heard Li Er say: "In this case, no one is allowed to mention the demolition of the stone monument in the future, otherwise, I will not be lenient."
Du He quickly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"
The civil and military ministers reacted and said one after another: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Changsun Wuji: "..."
When the words to tear down the monument came to his lips, he could only swallow them back secretly.
Wang Gui turned around and saw Changsun Wuji. He was suddenly surprised and said: "Oh, Master Changsun, you don't look good. Are you sick? Why don't you ask Du He to diagnose and treat you? Maybe you will be fine after eating white pork."
.”
"snort!"
Changsun Wuji snorted coldly and walked away, saying that he did not want to talk to Wang Gui.
Wang Gui looked confused and thought to himself, I have always been on good terms with the auxiliary machine, why is it so strange that the auxiliary machine treats me like this today?
At this time, I saw an unkempt guy suddenly rush out from the crowd and shouted loudly: "Your Majesty, I have something to say. This stone tablet is actually nothing. There is a big mystery in the stone tablet."
