Datang: Stop pretending, you are a peerless expert

In the first year of Zhenguan,

Unyang County, Gyeonggi-do.

The blizzard continued for more than half a month, and the vast expanse of white snow covered the ground, which was covered in silver and was extraordinarily enchanting.

A young man with a jade face was lying on a rocking chair, and a pretty little maid was cooking tea beside him.

The old man grabbed a few handfuls of corn and sprinkled them on the snow, and the birds landed and pecked at them.

Children playing snowball fights, giggling echoed in Zhuangzi.

A piece of peace and tranquility.

This person's name is Su Yu, and he is the master of this Zhuangzi.

Of course he is not from this era, but a time traveler.

Five years ago, Su Yu took a nap in a university class and woke up to find that she was lying on an old bed with worn-out quilts made of several sheepskins, which were neither warm nor comfortable.

A little girl next to her was crying on the edge of the bed.

After repeated confirmation, Su Yu finally accepted the fact that he had traveled through time.

His identity is the son of a small manor in Yunyang County, Gyeonggi Province, Tang Dynasty.

His parents are gone, and he is also a sick child. When he crossed over, his tonsils were inflamed and he had a high fever.

You must know that high fever was very dangerous in ancient times, because there were no antibiotics.

Fortunately, Su Yu is a key university student and usually reads a lot, so he made a first-aid medicine with local methods and saved himself.

Otherwise, it would be embarrassing to die right after transmigrating.

Travelers have systems, and so does Su Yu.

The system was activated, but it was incomplete, only a novice gift package and a skill were issued, and then it was closed.

It will take ten years to restart.

The novice spree is also very simple, a large jar of seeds.

Corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, hybrid rice, grapes, cotton seeds, watermelon seeds, broccoli
that's it.

A skill was also given, but this skill was the last thing Su Yu wanted, it was waste.

Others traveled through the Tang Dynasty to attack the Turks and destroy Tubo, conquer the Western Regions, and open the era of great navigation
And Su Yu belongs to the character of a salted fish who eats and waits to die.

So after time travelling, he rectified the manor for production, and became a wealthy salted fish son.

"Master, this blizzard has been falling for more than half a month, and there is no intention of stopping. It is said that Chang'an is about to run out of food."

The little maid was as white as snow, and Su Yu named her Xue Ji.

"Don't worry about it, Li Er can solve it."

Xue Ji looked around nervously, and persuaded in a low voice: "Master, I've said it several times, you can't be disrespectful to the current emperor."

In modern society, there are hundreds of thousands of ancestors and grandchildren of Tang Zong and Song Dynasty, which can be arranged casually.

But in ancient times, it was disrespectful to call the emperor by his name directly, and he would be beheaded.

"Isn't it Li Er who is marrying a sister-in-law? It's no big deal. Go and see the cowshed to see if you have a cold."

Su Yu took a sip of tea, and the taste was almost the same as that of green tea in modern society.

Xue Ji shook her head and said, "My lord, if you want to eat beef, you can find a better excuse. In summer, you say you have heat stroke, and in winter, you say you have a cold. If the government pursues it, it will be a serious crime."

Farm cattle were the most important means of agricultural production in ancient society. The local government asked the squires to register the number of farm cattle, and slaughtering them privately was a felony.

"Don't worry, according to the law, cows that are frozen to death can be eaten." Su Yu said.

Su Yu felt that, in fact, he was not too much, and Huanong Brothers were.

A middle-aged man with a burly figure and a thick cotton coat walked in from the outside.

Patting the snow on his body, the man said: "Master, the snow outside is almost one meter away, and the people in Jingyang County next door have run out of food. Hey, what a disaster. Last year, it was swept away by Jieli Khan. This summer it was a big one. Drought, floods in autumn, and now snow. It's so pitiful."

This person is called Lao Chen, who was originally a school lieutenant in the Sui Dynasty.

After the fall of the Sui Dynasty, he lived in seclusion in this manor and served as the security captain for Su Yu.

Old Chen's intention is obvious, he wants to help the people of Jingyang County.

Su Yu waved his hand: "Old Chen, this is not something we should discuss. You and Xue Ji go to see which farm cow has caught a cold today, and eat it if it can't be saved."

The corners of Lao Chen's mouth twitched a few times: "Master, you are eating beef every now and then."

Raising livestock has a modern term called feed-to-meat ratio.

It means how much feed you eat to grow a catty of meat.

Feeding a cow is time consuming and expensive.

Leaving this aside, the legal risk alone is huge.

After Li Shimin came to the throne, in order to promote agricultural production, he explicitly prohibited the slaughter of cattle.

Su Yu is committing crimes against the wind.

"Stop talking nonsense, let's go. There are also cotton coats in the warehouse, and they will be distributed to the old people in the village, one for each. Also, I haven't finished eating the mutton last night, let's add another meal to Ah Huang at the door. The strange day It's cold, don't let Ah Huang catch a cold."

Su Yu squinted her eyes, feeling comfortable, Xue Ji helped pinch her feet.

Don't let Ah Huang catch a cold?
The corners of Lao Chen's mouth twitched, and without saying a word, he immediately went out with the mutton.

Ah Huang is Lao Chen's beloved dog.

Su Yu just said not to let Ah Huang catch a cold, so Lao Chen thought he wanted to eat Ah Huang?
If you want to eat its meat, there is nothing to worry about.

Su Yu had already thought about Lao Chen's suggestion.

There is a lot of food in Zhuangzi, not to mention the relief of Jingyang County, but the entire Gyeonggi Province is enough to eat.

However, Su Yu couldn't do this.

What is the society now?
Royal society.

For the emperor, what is the most important thing?
Of course it is people's hearts.

Back then, Zhang Jiao relied on treating diseases for the common people, and when he won the hearts of the people, he rebelled.

The emperor hated others to steal people's hearts from him.

If Su Yu opened a granary to release grain and people's hearts belonged to him, Li Shimin would immediately kill him and surround Sujiazhuang.

So this is absolutely impossible.

After a while, Lao Chen brought up a plate of beef.

Xue Ji quickly took out an iron two-layer pot.

There is a big chimney in the middle, surrounded by a ring-shaped pot, put the best charcoal in it, and put the chili into the pot.

When the water boils, the beef can be put into the pot.

"Captain, there is a situation."

Er Mazi ran in from the outside.

"The Turks are here?"

Old Chen clenched his waist knife tightly, his eyes suddenly became sharp, revealing a murderous look.

"No, we caught a thief."

"I thought it was a Turk, and the thief sent him away."

Lao Chen is actually kind-hearted, he just hates the Turks.

In this year of catastrophe, Lao Chen doesn't care about stealing something to save his life.

In fact, this is also Su Yu's meaning. Every day, Zhuangzi will put food outside, and take what is needed by himself. Of course, there will not be too much, otherwise it will be difficult to alarm the government.

"No, captain, if she doesn't leave, she insists on seeing the young master."

Su Yu rubbed his hands together and let out a sigh of relief.

"Then bring it in."
