The beginning is the emperor

Chapter 14 Is there no horse in this start?
This little Deng Zi is regarded as the guiding figure allocated by the system to Ren Tian.

After all, this game has a very high degree of freedom. Although the player acts as the king of a country, after all, many players do not understand the ancient history at all, nor do they know what it is like to be an emperor, so they definitely don’t know how to start in the early stage. At this time, there are A little eunuch responsible for guidance would be much better.

Ren Tian returned to the palace, after taking a bath and changing clothes, he also planned to check his own palace first. Although he knew a little about the history, he was still very vague about the situation in the palace. so easy.

Then, under the leadership of Xiao Dengzi, Ren Tian began to tour the palace.

"Your Majesty, this is the Imperial Dining Room, a place specially prepared for you to eat."

Little Dengzi took Ren Tian to the Imperial Kitchen. Not far in front, there was a rather grand room with red columns and red paint. The words "Imperial Kitchen" were hung above it. There were many people busy inside.

Ren Tian nodded: "Go, go in and have a look."

In fact, in order to be both entertaining and entertaining, this game does not follow history to a certain extent. In history, the term imperial dining room only appeared later. For example, in the Spring and Autumn Period, it was called Chef, and in the Qin Dynasty, it was called Guanglu Temple. , in the Tang Dynasty, the name became Shangshi Bureau, and there was also a dining room, which was a place specially prepared for ministers to eat.

And in the game, when the official titles of the central court officials are still Sima Situ Dazai's spring and autumn official titles, there is an imperial dining room in the palace?

However, Ren Tian will not go into this matter, because the departments and organizations in the entire imperial palace are actually more troublesome to investigate in detail. For example, in the Qing Dynasty, it was mainly the Ministry of Internal Affairs, while in the Ming Dynasty, it was mainly the Twelve Supervisors and Eight Bureaus. In the game, however, it has been simplified and only the necessary parts are kept.

Another one, in fact, Nintendo's current national level can't be called me, but it doesn't matter, these have undergone minor changes.

Ren Tian stepped into the imperial dining room, there were dozens of cooks in the imperial dining room, when they saw Ren Tian, ​​all the cooks knelt down.

"Long live, long live, my emperor."

"They are all flat, I just came to take a look."

Ren Tian said with a smile.

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The imperial chefs stood up cautiously, and Ren Tian glanced at the entire imperial dining room. The imperial dining room was as big as a five-star hotel kitchen, with vegetables such as Chinese cabbage, mushrooms, etc. placed on the side. , in addition, there are pheasants, ducks, and there are even live fish in the water tank on the side.

In many cases, the emperor ate extravagantly.

"Who did the Eight Immortals that continued yesterday?"

Ren Tian asked.

As soon as these words came out, a royal chef knelt down in fear and fear: "Return to Your Majesty, it was made by the minister."

The royal chefs around glanced at each other, and even several royal chefs showed joy in their eyes. Could it be that this dish was so unpalatable that it made Long Yan furious?
If your Majesty drives this person away, there will be a vacancy in the imperial kitchen.

The entire imperial dining room also has its own positions. There are 2 chefs, 2 deputy chefs, 27 cooks, and more than 100 miscellaneous people, including more than 100 purchasers. There are more than 200 people in one imperial dining room.

What I didn't expect was that Ren Tian praised and said: "The taste is very good, I have a deep memory after eating it."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

"Don't kneel, I didn't ask you to kneel, so don't kneel, get up."

"Yes."

"Which of you is the chief chef of the imperial dining room?"

The trembling royal chef in front of him said, "I'm right here."

"Very good, the dishes you cooked yesterday are good, can you develop new dishes?"

"Return to Your Majesty, the Imperial Dining Room can develop new dishes, but..."

"Just something, but it doesn't matter."

"It's just that the research of new dishes requires a lot of ingredients, and the purchase of these ingredients requires silver taels."

This also costs money?

Ren Tian was taken aback for a moment, but then asked, "How much do you want to allocate per month?"

"100 taels of silver."

100 taels of silver is 1 gold.

Basically, his monthly expenditure on the treasury has reached the point of -4.7.

Ren Tian hesitated for a while, but still said: "Yes, I agree."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

The chef knelt down again: "The imperial dining room will definitely live up to His Majesty's expectations."

"Get up."

After chatting with the chefs for a while, Ren Tian left the imperial dining room. He just felt a little tired and didn't realize that it was really a waste of money.

In the early stage, there was only 1000 gold at the start, which was almost 10 taels of silver. As a country, it was still very poor. With various rewards and new officials, the expenses suddenly increased.

It seems that this money cannot be spent indiscriminately.

Ren Tian muttered in his heart, of course the most important thing is that some dishes developed by the Imperial Dining Room can permanently increase his upper limit of energy, and the upper limit of energy is really very useful in the early stage.

"Little Dengzi, do you have a horse supervisor?"

Ren Tian asked.

"Your Majesty, there is no such position in the palace yet."

Ren Tian asked: "Who is in charge of managing the horses?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, our new country has no horses yet."

"what?"

Ren Tian was shocked, holy shit, there wasn’t even a horse?

Didn't this start off right?
"Then you are saying that my imperial guards are all infantry?"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Ren Tian took a deep breath, this start was much worse than he thought.

How important are horses?
In ancient times, horses were an important strategic resource. For example, the position of Sima was directly named after horses. Horses are inseparable from military and political affairs, from transportation to transportation, and from war to war. Why did Guan Yu pass the five levels? The reason why General Zhan Liu is so powerful is because he rides a red rabbit horse and is more maneuverable than others.

Moreover, the ancestors of the Qin Dynasty were given the surname Ying because they knew how to raise horses, and they became the Qin State.

Throughout ancient China, there was a developed and perfect horse administration. From the Western Zhou Dynasty to the following dynasties, horse administration was a top priority. In the Tang Dynasty, there were 70 horses in the country. By the Song Dynasty, why did Yan Yun ten Are the six states so important?In addition to one geographical factor, another reason is that the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun is a place for war horses. In the Song Dynasty, there was a lack of good war horses and cavalry could not be built. They could not take the initiative to attack and were almost completely beaten.

Now you tell me that there are no horses at the beginning, all infantry?

Ren Tian looked a little ugly: "Don't we have a single horse in our new country?"

"Your Majesty, in the early years of Gaozu's time, there were still [-] horses in the Xin Kingdom, but later on the people's livelihood declined, and the Longma, Chenghua and other horse farms were gradually abolished."

Ren Tian felt a big headache. It seemed that this matter would be put on the agenda when the government is in charge tomorrow. The country cannot be without horses for a day, horses are too important.
