Prosperous Tang Blood Blade

Population is the foundation of everything. Without population, farming and development are empty talk.For example, the Western Regions accounted for about a quarter of the Tang Empire (larger than the current territory of Xinjiang), but in fact the population was only about 150 million, and these populations accounted for only a tenth of the Tang Empire.

Chen Ying is very eager to manage the Western Regions into a land of abundance. Once this is the case, all dynasties will not despise the Western Regions.

Seeing that no one was paying attention to him, Chen Ying quietly moved to a soft couch, and lay down lazily.

However, Chen Ying was fine when he lay down, but as soon as he lay down, he soon fell asleep.

Hearing Chen Ying's snoring, Li Jiancheng looked around but saw that Chen Ying was sleeping soundly.

Wei Zheng got up to shake Chen Ying awake.

Li Jiancheng waved his hand and said, "Xuancheng, forget it, General Chen has worked harder than all of us these days!"

Hearing this, Fang Xuanling was very disapproving.

In fact, there are secrets in Chang'an City that Fang Xuanling does not know.

What's more, Wei Ting has almost wiped out Li Shimin's Baiqisi, and now Fang Xuanling's news is relatively closed.He might be able to guess that Chang'an's grain prices are caused by someone secretly playing tricks, but he has no idea that Chen Ying is using his own way to return others.

Li Jiancheng followed Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others to discuss the details of streamlining the army and streamlining administration, but Li Jiancheng deliberately kept people away from Chen Ying, so as not to let their voices disturb Chen Ying's sleep.

Then she asked Gong'e to cover Chen Ying with a quilt, fearing that Chen Ying would catch a cold.

Li Jiancheng, Wei Zheng, Fang Xuanling and others were all workaholics, and the discussion was over when the rooster crowed three times.

After leaving Xiande Hall, when Fang Xuanling returned to Menxia Province, the sky was already bright.

Fang Xuanling yawned and walked into the hall, looking at the colleagues who were already in high spirits.

Fang Xuanling went straight to her office, and then yelled at Ling Shi who was waiting at the door: "Is there hot water, send a bowl of hot tea soup to someone."

Ling Shi, who was in charge of running errands, answered and went out.

All the officials stared at Fang Xuanling with strange eyes.

The provincial doctor under the door said with a look of surprise: "Did Your Majesty not behead him last night?"

The petty official felt something was wrong, and this kind of petty official was a person who read words and expressions. He saw that Fang Xuanling was fine, which meant that Fang Xuanling was in the heart of the emperor. When he thought of this, he felt something was wrong.

Another subordinate officer chuckled and said, "Sure, soon!"

After a while, Fang Xuanling also fell asleep while sitting at the table.

At this moment, an internal servant walked into the hall holding Zhongzhi in his hand, chest out and belly out.

All the officials stood up and saluted one after another.

The servant looked around the hall, but did not find Fang Xuanling's shadow, so he couldn't help asking, "Where is Fang Xuanling?"

The provincial doctor under the door looked at Fang Xuanling, at this time Fang Xuanling covered his face with his soft feet and took a long breath.

Fang Xuanling is different from Chen Ying, Chen Ying snores while sleeping, but Fang Xuanling doesn't snore, so everyone didn't notice it for a while.

The servant looked at everyone and turned his gaze to Fang Xuanling.

The provincial doctor under the door ran to Fang Xuanling in a hurry, raised his fist and was about to hit the desk.

The servant stretched out his hand to stop the provincial doctor under the door, handed the imperial decree to the doctor's hand and said: "A rewarding imperial decree is not very important, it's okay to wait a while!"

Everyone had no choice but to cry and wait for Fang Xuanling to sleep in the main hall under the door.

Fang Xuanling fell asleep for half an hour before waking up.

However, seeing the servant come out in front of her, Fang Xuanling was still startled.

The servant's face was full of smiles and said: "The servants are in the middle of the matter, and Fang Xuanling will take over the order!"

Fang Xuanling got up hurriedly, Shi Shiran walked to the servant.

The servant cleared his throat, opened the imperial decree and read out: "Emperor of the Tang Dynasty said: Under the door, Yao governs Yunei, Shun Mao Gaotao, Zhou seals a hundred domains, Qin Zhimin Jue, admonishes the doctor, and gives the affairs of the middle room Xuanling , Job and ability benefit, talents are loyal and virtuous, Zuo Wang transformed his governance, prepared strategies in Guizhou and Li, he can enter Xiangcheng county public, increase Lu millet, Yongye, silver, and silk as examples, and the rest are as before, imperial edict, Wu In June of the seventh year of Germany, Yisi!

Everyone looked at each other.

Fang Xuanling's expression remained the same, he received the imperial edict, went to the court for a check, Shi Shiran walked back to the case table, sat down and began to act as secretary.

……

When Chen Ying woke up, Li Jiancheng was beside Chen Ying.

A few days ago, I ate breakfast alone, a few boiled eggs, a bowl of tofu soup, and a bowl of millet porridge.

Li Jiancheng smiled and said, "You're hungry, hurry up and wash up, let's have dinner together!"

As he said that, several eunuchs and maids came to Chen Ying holding copper basins, willow branches, refined salt, and towels.

Chen Ying tested the temperature of the water, and found it to be neither too cold nor too hot. He quickly washed his face, rinsed his mouth, and sat opposite Li Jiancheng.

At this time, Gong'e brought breakfast to Chen Ying.

Chen Ying thought that it would be the same as Li Jiancheng, both simple and trouble-free, but he never thought that it would be yokan.

Chen Ying seldom eats the so-called yokan.Because it is very troublesome to make, it is said that yokan is the "yokan" made by Song Mao Xiuzhi during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties. It is called "juewei".It is a special accompaniment dish in the Wei, Jin, North and South periods.

Wash the chestnuts to remove impurities, remove the water after cooking, and put them on the mat to dry or dry.After drying, it is crushed, blown by a windmill, processed into powder by a mill or pulverizer, passed through a 120-mesh sieve to obtain chestnut pink beans, washed, boiled for a while, added alkali, poured out the alkali (remove mucus), and washed with water Clean, add water and cook in a pot until flowering.Send the boiled red beans and water to a stone mill for grinding, separate the bean paste from the skin with fine gauze, and dry the bean paste with deionized water until it forms a ball in your hands.

Then pour it into the old mutton soup and cook it. Stir continuously during the whole cooking process to prevent it from burning.The boiled pulp is poured into a mold lined with a tin foil bottom with a funnel, and placed in an ice cellar to cool and shape.

It's not that Chen Ying can't afford it. This kind of yokan tastes smooth and delicious, neither fat nor greasy, and has no mutton. The key manufacturing process is too cumbersome and time-consuming, and Chen Ying is just too lazy to make it.

Chen Ying knew that Li Jiancheng actually didn't like to eat this kind of food, but he deliberately asked someone to prepare it for him, and Chen Ying was also very moved.

Chen Ying ate the yokan, it was really delicious.

Then, Gong'e sent more than ten dishes.

Chen Ying hurriedly said: "How can my minister He De..."

Li Jiancheng said: "I've been exhausting myself these days, I should make up for it!"

Chen Ying did not waste Li Jiancheng's kindness and ate happily.

When Chen Ying finished eating, Gong'e brought a cup of fragrant tea.

Only then did Li Jiancheng pass a silk book to Chen Yingdao: "This is the disaster relief plan that I, Wei Zheng, and Fang Xuanling discussed last night, and came up with it. You can take a look first."

Chen Ying took the silk scroll excitedly, and after reading two lines, his face suddenly changed.

Chen Ying hurriedly sat down and read carefully, his expression became more and more ugly.
