The tomatoes, potatoes, peppers and other crops grown by myself look colorful.

No wonder Ma Chao thought it was refining poison.

"You people really have no vision." Hua Xiong curled his lips, "Well, don't leave today, I'll show you something."

Under Hua Xiong's strong request, Gao Shun and others obediently waited in the lobby.

Night falls.

After Hua Xiong finished the last dish, he wiped his hands and ordered his servants to bring all the dishes to the table.

All kinds of dishes covered the entire table.

The alluring aroma hits the face.

The generals under Hua Xiong moved their index fingers instantly, and some even swallowed their saliva.

"Okay, let's use your chopsticks."

Hua Xiong laughed.

As soon as he opened his mouth, all his subordinates immediately lost their demeanor, and began to wipe out the food in front of them like a storm with chopsticks.

Hua Xiong shook his head and laughed, looking at Wei Yiyi beside him.

Wei Yiyi's eating appearance is relatively ladylike, but the corners of her mouth are inevitably stained with rice grains.

Hua Xiong stretched out his hand to wipe off the rice grains for her, and asked,

"Yiyi, how is my craft?"

"It's great! Brother Xiong. Why didn't I know you could cook before?"

Wei Yiyi nodded again and again, looking at Hua Xiong with eyes full of admiration.

"Then would you like to eat my cooking for the rest of your life?"

Hua Xiong asked softly.

Wei Yiyi's little face blushed quickly, she twisted a bit, nodded and said,

"People are willing."

Hua Xiong laughed out loud.

As the saying goes, grab a man's heart by grabbing his stomach first.

The same applies to women as well.

"Hi, I'm full."

Ma Dai put down his job, leaned back on the chair, and burped comfortably.

Others also looked satisfied.

Hua Xiong cooked up more than a dozen dishes, but they ate everything upside down.

What's more, even the soup is poured into the rice.

"My lord, your cooking skills are truly unparalleled in the world!"

Li Ru couldn't help sighing.

"In the future, if anyone is unwilling to surrender to the lord, let him eat a meal cooked by the lord, and he will probably be willing to surrender."

Pound joked.

"My lord, can I come to Cengfan more often in the future?"

Ma Dai looked at Hua Xiong eagerly.

During the Three Kingdoms period, there was no cooking, and cooking was still mainly cooking.

Hua Xiong lived alone in his previous life, so he was considered a good cook.

Stir-fried dishes such as fried potatoes with green peppers and spicy chicken are all arranged.

When Gao Shun and the others ate stir-fried vegetables, they immediately wished they could swallow their tongues.

"Well, let's talk about it later."

Hua Xiong smiled and looked at Li Ru and Jia Xu.

"You have to find a way to promote these crops called potatoes, sweet potatoes, and tomatoes."

"My lord, the wheat seeds you took out last time are already high enough, why do you want to promote these crops?"

Jia Xu asked curiously.

"If you want to solve the world's famine, you can't just rely on super wheat seeds."

Hua Xiong shook his head, pointed to the potatoes and other crops on the ground nearby, and said seriously,

"Potatoes are a crop with a yield of up to two thousand catties per mu. Sweet potatoes are even more exaggerated, they can weigh four to five thousand catties!"

Hearing these two numbers, everyone present was shocked.

One mu yields two thousand catties, and one mu yields four to five thousand catties.

This is horrible.

If it is really popularized, there will be famine in the world?

Li Ru and Jia Xu recovered from the shock.

They stood up and bowed seriously to Hua Xiong.

"My lord's move is no less than a saint! On behalf of the people of the world, we are grateful to my lord!"

Hua Xiong smiled and waved his hands.

The reason why he stayed with Li Ru, Jia Xu and others for dinner today was because of this.

If you really let the people in the world, they will no longer be hungry.

Then this is also considered a merit.

Gao Shun and the others looked at Hua Xiong with eyes filled with awe.

Wei Yiyi's eyes were also full of splendor.

She leaned over and whispered, "Brother Xiong, at that moment just now, you were suddenly so great."

Hua Xiong said with a smile, "Look at what you said, since when am I not great?"

In order to make the military officials work better.

After Hua Xiong took power, he set the rules.

There is a Great Court Meeting held every month, and officials from the Chang'an City area and surrounding areas can come to participate.

The Xiaochaohui is once every three days, and all the officials in Chang'an City participate.

Time flies by like a white horse, and soon it will be the day of the Great Court Meeting.

In addition to the Beijing officials in Chang'an City, officials from Yongzhou, Liangzhou and other places also came to participate.

At the court meeting, they reported all the affairs, big and small.

Liu Xie is still young and unable to solve it.

So Hua Xiong, Wang Yun, Cai Yong, Jia Xu, Li Ru and others formed an advisory group, which was called the cabinet.

In the cabinet, Hua Xiong was in charge of making decisions.

"Report to Your Majesty, Grand Master, this year's tax has been collected, but"

Cai Yong hesitated to speak.

He was promoted by Hua Xiong to Duzhi Shangshu, responsible for the court's finances and taxes.

"Master Cai speaks directly."

Hua Xiong smiled lightly.

"Your Majesty and Grand Master Zhai are kind-hearted and have reduced or exempted the taxes of the people all over the world, but now the imperial court's taxes are somewhat beyond their means."

Cai Yong said with a sad face.

In the last years of the Eastern Han Dynasty, wars were raging.

Hua Xiong saw that the lives of those people were very hard, so he exempted many corvees and taxes.

The people are grateful to him.

But in this way, it will be hard for Cai Yong.

With today's finances, it is impossible to support an army of 10,000+ and so many ministers.

All eyes were on Hua Xiong.

Hua Xiong touched his nose, feeling a little embarrassed.

"How about this, let's increase the reward?"

Wang Yun suggested.

Up to now, the only way to solve the financial difficulties is to increase the tax.

Therefore, the ministers present did not have any opinions.

However, at this moment, a tall man stood up.

"Your Majesty, grand master, and my minister object!"

No one expected that there would be objections.

Ma Chao frowned, and yelled at the man,

"Jiang Jiong, come back quickly, is this a place where you can speak?"

Chapter 68 Jiang Wei's Father

The big man called Jiang Jiong, as if he hadn't heard it, just said it to himself,

"The wars in Liangzhou and Yongzhou are endless, and the people are poor. If you add taxes at will, it will increase the burden on the people."

Jiang Jiong said sincerely.

Wang Yun glanced at him, and said indifferently, "You are just a small meritorious person, there is no place for you to speak in the temple."

Jiang Jiong is the meritorious officer of Ji County, Tianshui County, Liangzhou.

He was dedicated to his duties and fought bravely and fearlessly.

Ma Chao admired him very much, so he brought him to Chang'an.

It's just that Ma Chao didn't expect that Jiang Jiong would speak without authorization in the presence of so many important figures.

All the ministers present looked at Ma Chao and Jiang Jiong with a chuckle.

Ma Chao only felt that his face was hot.

He was afraid that Hua Xiong would scold him for being lax, so he looked at Jiang Jiong sternly.

"Come back quickly!"

At this moment, Hua Xiong said with a smile,

"Don't worry, let him finish talking."

As soon as Hua Xiong opened his mouth, the others couldn't say anything.

"Thank you, Grand Master."

Jiang Jiong said gratefully to Hua Xiong, and continued.

"What we should do is to reduce the burden so that we can achieve what the people want."

After Jiang Jiong finished speaking, all the ministers present were silent.

"It's not in my character to add gifts to the people."

Hua Xiong nodded in agreement.

"Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it. If we keep extorting money, we will only lose the support of the people and arouse people's resistance."
