Chapter 72 "Married" (1)
Wu Jiu was so sure that many people didn't trust him. Seeing him like this, Marquis Qi had already understood Wu Jiu's character. If he was not completely sure, he would never boast.
Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? Then wait for the good news from the second brother?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu is so bold that I want to make a condition with you."
As soon as his words came out, Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong looked at him directly, because Marquis Qi asked Wu Jiu to be the chief farmer, but Wu Jiu still had to negotiate terms, no matter whether he was talented or not, this was a bit too arrogant. I haven't become a chief minister yet, so I just keep my mouth shut.
Qihou was not angry, but said with a smile: "Second brother, why not talk about it."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Please lend me a thousand tiger and ben troops, Your Majesty."
As soon as his words came out, everyone started whispering again, the Huben soldiers were the soldiers guarding the Qi Palace, and they were all the cronies among the cronies, Wu Jiu wanted so many Huben soldiers as soon as he asked, those who didn't know thought that Wu Jiao was going to rebel.
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, second brother just borrow it."
Qihou didn't even ask the reason, and he still had a smile on his face. The officials were all surprised. Gao Xi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask my lord, what are these tiger and cardinal troops used for?"
Wu Jiu smiled, his face was a bit mysterious, and he just said three words, "Move food."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu felt that this shocking and puzzled look was really interesting. Wu Jiu was also considered a "leader" in his previous life, but what he led was not the real battlefield of fighting and killing, but the commercial battlefield of intrigue and deceit. .
In fact, Wu Jiu is quite thankful that he came to the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. After all, this era is not like the Warring States period hundreds of years later. Today's Spring and Autumn Period puts etiquette first. To draw the Tao with etiquette and righteousness, it is natural to follow the etiquette and righteousness.
Following etiquette and righteousness, people of this era are far less "insidious" than modern people, whether they are fighting wars or doing business. Let's just use war as an example. Fuck, it's a shameless act, and all the battles on the battlefield will be fought at the places that have been agreed in advance. The places other than the agreed places are wild fields. When fighting, you must pay attention to direct confrontation, and you can't capture the old man with white hair , if an old man with white hair is captured, they must be released home to retire. When chasing a prisoner, they can only go up to [-] steps, and once the [-] steps are reached, they can no longer be forced.
There are so many such rules and regulations of etiquette and righteousness, so that this era is still very "pedantic", and people are relatively gentlemen, so Wu Jiao feels that although the heavy responsibility seems to be on the shoulders, it should not be very difficult to carry it out.
Everyone was surprised, but Qi Hou said with a smile: "Okay, according to the second brother, I will let Huben Zhonglang transfer a thousand soldiers and horses with the second brother in a while. After the court today, before the court tomorrow, the thousand soldiers and horses will be sent to the court tomorrow." They are all at the disposal of the second brother, and no one else should interfere."
When he said this, everyone felt that Marquis Qi really trusted Wu Jiu, and all the guards around him were transferred to Wu Jiu, and there were still 1000 people. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no army of 30 million like the Han Dynasty. After all There are many countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of countries are sealed off, and the boundaries are small. 50 people are not a small number. To be honest, if a rebellion forces the palace, it is enough to surround the palace or something.
Marquis Qi gave the thousand soldiers to Wu Jiu without much questioning, which shows how much he loves and trusts Wu Jiu.
The trial friend who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to look up, she was sweating silently, knowing in his heart that he had touched Ni Lin this time, and wanted to punish some Wu Jiao, after all, Wu Jiao relied on himself to be favored before, so he did not give I don't want to save my own face, and I don't want to be favored by others.
Now that Wu Jiu's scandal is spreading, he thought it would make Wu Jiao look good, but it turned out that Wu Jiu really looked good. With his official rank, such a huge fat difference is on his body, isn't he making a lot of money? ?
But Shenyou didn't dare to speak anymore, he knelt on the ground obediently without raising his head.
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Okay, there will be a court meeting tomorrow, gentlemen, don't forget to come to the palace to see how the second brother finalizes the marching rations."
Everyone was a little puzzled, and quickly said yes.
Qihou said: "If there is nothing to do, let's leave the court."
He said, everyone saluted, and waited for Marquis Qi to advance into the inner hall, and then dispersed out of the road bedroom.
Wu Jiu immediately turned around and wanted to leave the hall, he was short on time, not for anything else, but to move food, with so much food, finding a thousand people to carry it was really not an exaggeration, Wu Jiao was afraid that time would not be enough to move it Food, but if you ask to borrow thousands of people, I am afraid that others will think that you are going to rebel...
Wu Jiu quickly walked out of the main hall, intending to leave the palace to go to a small restaurant. At this moment, he heard someone calling him behind him. Wu Jiu thought he was an acquaintance, but it turned out to be someone he didn't know very well. It was just now that he proposed a test in the hall Wu Jiu's business appearance.
The Shang Rong in front of him is in his twenties, almost 30 years old, but he is already considered a young man among the courtiers. This Shang Rong is an admonishing minister, but not Lao Tzu's master Shang Rong.
Shang Rong is intelligent, talented, and outspoken, so he can be an admonisher. Shang Rong came from behind, cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, Rong Fang was rude in the palace, please forgive me."
Wu Jiu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Doctor Shang put forward a simple condition, and Jiu would like to thank Doctor Shang."
Shang Rong was taken aback for a moment, he did not intend to be mean and embarrassing, but the subject of this test was indeed not easy, he did not expect that Wu Jiao would not need so much time at all, only one day would be enough.
Seeing Wu Jiu's face full of smiles, Shang Rong quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord is really a great man, Shang Rong admires it."
Wu Jiu also cupped his hands, and said: "Doctor Shang is also dedicated to the country, and he has no malice. If he is free, he will invite Doctor Shang to have a glass of wine another day. Today is really a coincidence. He has to be busy with the test. , please ask Dr. Shang to give you face some other day."
Shang Rong smiled politely, and said respectfully: "Yes, please go slowly, my lord."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "See you later, Doctor Shang."
As he spoke, he walked forward quickly. Someone had already informed Hu Zi, who was the general of Huben, Hu Zi hurriedly went to Wu Jiu, and the two met halfway.
When Huzi saw Wu Jiu, he was surprised and said, "My lord, how can you boast so much? Can you really gather enough food in one day?"
Wu Jiu waved his hands with a smile and said, "Huzi, you can just lend me someone."
Huzi nodded quickly, fearing that there was not enough time, he said, "Is there any request? Or should you order troops yourself?"
Wu Jiu said: "There is no requirement, just be tall, strong and strong."
Huzi is at a loss, tall, strong and powerful?It sounded like he was going to move bricks, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to count the soldiers right away, and the soldiers and horses will be ready before noon."
Wu Jiu said, "You don't need to report with me, let them gather at the gate of the palace at noon."
"Yes, son."
Hu Zi immediately turned around and left, busy to order soldiers, Wu Jiao looked at Hu Zi's back, touched his chin, thinking that people with wives are not ordinary, Hu Zi used to be sloppy, as a A tiger general, just talented, it's not enough if he doesn't have an image, he will definitely provoke the tongue of others.
Today's beard is very neatly trimmed, he is tall and handsome in armor, and his face with square Chinese characters is also quite clean. My son married Mrs. Peach Blossom, and I felt that he was married to the right person.
Wu Jiu was so envious, he wanted a good wife, but after thinking about it, he had never been in a relationship in his previous life, and it was the first time in his life that he reacted to a man. Could it be that he was born a crook?Then it is not good to delay the woman.
Wu Jiu thought about this, shook his head, and hurried to the palace gate, and went to a small restaurant first.
Wu Jiu went to a small restaurant and asked the steward to weigh the food roughly, only a little more. There was still some time before noon, so Wu Jiu didn't go back to the palace immediately, but stayed in the restaurant to add more food to the small restaurant. Some dishes.
The previous pancakes, wontons, etc., have been reproduced by many shops. Since Wu Jiu opened the restaurant, restaurants in Linzi City seem to be blooming everywhere, and all of them are imitated small shops.
But Wu Jiu is not worried at all, because he still has a lot of skills in his heart, and it seems that there is no day that can be used up, so there is no need to worry about being robbed of his business by others.
Wu Jiu entered the back kitchen, thought about the simple and easy-to-learn recipes, and then thought of the sweet dream he had this morning.
Wu Zheng is lying on the lazy bed, hugging the quilt and dreaming of eating omelet rice, the fragrant and soft omelet rice, everything is fragrant and steaming, the outside is golden yellow egg skin, and the inside is bright rice, mixed with colors The bright and colorful diced vegetables, like a pile of jade jewels, rolled out from the coat made of gold, the color is really attractive.
Wu Zheng wanted to eat omelet rice, but was woken up by the eunuch sent by Qi Hou, which frightened him. In the face of delicious food, it is cruel to eat mandarin ducks with a stick. matter.
So Wu Jiao is obsessed with omelet rice. It happens that omelet rice is simple and easy to make, and does not require any special ingredients, and the taste is varied and unpredictable, which is just right for small restaurants.
Wu Jiu gathered all the cooks together and began to teach them how to make omelet rice. The cooks loved this moment the most, because others cook in a sneaky way, and they didn’t want them to steal their lessons, but Wu Jiao didn’t. What’s the trick? He would tell them, and he would tell them about any new dishes, and he would teach them how to make them step by step, lest he didn't explain in detail. Their living skills are so generous, how can the cooks not love Wu Jiu?
Wu Jiu was busy in the dining room for half a day, and he gave the omelet rice a very festive name, Jin Yu Man Tang.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Wu Jiu didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he rushed to Qi Palace in a hurry.
When I got to the door, I saw a black army of tigers and cardinals, as if some important person was about to go out.
Hu Zi was dressed in armor and had been standing by the side for a long time, waiting anxiously for Wu Jiu to arrive. Seeing Wu Jiu's shadow, he immediately walked over happily, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, everything is ready!"
Huzi looked eager to try, Wu Jiao looked at his expression, why did he feel that Huzi had found the pleasure of occupying the mountain and being king again...
Wu Jiu then rode on Jiumo, and led the mighty Huben army to the small restaurant. The small restaurant is overcrowded, many people are queuing up, an hour is short, after all, in this age, the management of food Still few, Wu Jiu has already become a monopoly leader in the industry, and in this era, the most indispensable thing is nobles and gentry from all over the world. In this way, the nobles and gentry from all over the world come to the small restaurant, can they not be ranked? ?
A thousand tiger and cardinal troops marched clangingly to the entrance of the restaurant, scaring the nobles and gentry into thinking that they had done something wrong and were about to be arrested. As a result, Wu Jiao led people into the courtyard from behind.
Then, with an order, they began to move food...
Wu Jiao had been busy all day long, and after dinner he finished his chatter. He hurried back to the palace and entered the house, his back ached from exhaustion.
He didn't have time to eat at noon, and it was a little later in the evening. Yan'e had already warmed up a meal for him, and he was waiting for Wu Jiu to come back.Wu Jiu came back to rest for a while, then got up to eat, thinking that he really shouldn't boast, he was already exhausted, he didn't expect that there was so much food.
After eating, Wu Jiu took a bath and went to bed, preparing to go to bed the next morning.
Wu Jiu felt that he hadn't slept long, when he heard Ziqing's voice saying, "Master, it's morning, it's time to get up and go to court."
Wu Jiao frowned, feeling that he hadn't slept for a long time, and didn't want to get up at all, wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, and pushed himself into the quilt with all his strength, Ziqing's face turned blue, and he didn't dare to really reach out to dig Quilt.
When Yan'e walked in from the outside, she saw Ziqing staring at the quilt, Yan'e's stomach ached from laughing.
Ziqing said helplessly, "Don't laugh, come and tell the young master to get up early."
Wu Jiu could never afford to go to court so early, because he never went to court, and now it is late spring and early summer, and the weather is very early. The ancients had the habit of resting at sunset and working at sunrise, so in summer, it is also early to go to court, and the sky is bright, and it is also very early. It was around three o'clock, and I still had to get up and wash up, ready to go to court.
Wu Jiu had never woken up so early before, hugging the quilt to play tricks, Yan'e laughed at first, but then seeing that it was too late, the two hurriedly dug Wu Jiao out.
Wu Jiu was already woken up by their trouble, looked at the time, as if it was too late, washed and changed clothes in a hurry, without even a stomach pad, rushed out of the house in a hurry.
Yan'e chased after him and shouted: "My lord! My lord! You didn't wear your crown!"
Wu Jiu felt helpless, hurried over to put on his hat, and then hurried to the palace, thinking in his heart, it was not easy for the emperors in ancient times, they had to get up so early to go to court, if they didn't go to court, the crowd The minister also has an opinion that you are not diligent enough.
Because Wu Jiu got up too late, he didn't want to be late, and the final result was that all the officials sat down in the Lu bedroom, except that Marquis Qi didn't come, but Wu Jiu didn't come either.
Today's Lu Palace is very magnificent, the huge palace is shrouded in the warm light of the morning, what is different from usual is that when all the ministers came to the Lu Palace, they would all make a sound of gasping for air, and opened their eyes wide. Eyes, teeth clenched.
Just because at the entrance of the Lu Palace, there is a rolling mountain of grain. The golden grain shines brightly under the brighter early summer sun, adding a majesty and magnificence to the Lu Palace.
The grain mountain was as high as several people, with a sharp point, and it kept rolling up and down, as if it couldn't see the end at all.
Everyone came over and said "Ho!!", then turned their heads to look at the grain mountain all the way, and walked into the palace with surprise on their faces.
When Wu Jiu came to the Lu bedroom, his expression was a little hasty. As soon as he came in, he said "Shua!", all eyes were on Wu Jiao, who was so confused that Wu Jiao thought he was wearing obscene clothes and ran out. , hurriedly lowered his head to look at his clothes, it was quite decent and there was nothing wrong with it, so he lightly brushed his robes and walked in slowly.
Those who have something good to do already stood up with a fawning face, and said to Wu Jiu, "Young master!"
Someone took the lead, and many people also rushed over to curry favor with Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu felt that it was only a short day, and the reactions of many people were very different.
Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong also came, and the two of them sat in front of the doctor, looking at the undulating mountains of grain outside the gate of the underground hall, and both were a little pensive.
Soon Qihou came. He already knew that his hall was full of food. Someone had already informed him yesterday. After all, the road bedroom was connected to the small bedroom. Hou must have known.
Qihou was in a good mood today, he walked in with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "My dear gentlemen, there is no need to be too polite."
As he spoke, he sat down, looked at the high officials in the audience, and said with a smile: "There is no court meeting today, but one more court meeting is to discuss the matter of Da Sinong."
He said, looked up at Wu Jiu, and said, "Second Brother, why don't you just report to everyone?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Wu Jiu turned around with a smile, bowed his hands to the ministers, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "According to the questions of the postgraduate entrance examination a few days ago, Jiu needs to prepare a month's military salary and food for the crusade against Sui State."
As he spoke, he unfolded his white sleeve robe, stretched out his hand and said, "Please look at me, gentlemen. Here is the food prepared by the police. Calculated on the basis that every ten soldiers consume one hu a day, [-] soldiers consume [-] hu a day." Dendrobium food, one month's marching expenses is [-] Dendrobium grain, and there are preparations outside the hall, there is only a little more, please check it out."
The measurement units of ancient grain, such as bucket, dendrobium, and stone are volume units, not weight units as many people imagined, but it can also be converted a little bit. Ten soldiers eat one dendrobium grain a day, which is actually equivalent to each soldier's day. Eat eight catties of grain.
The amount of eight catties is very extravagant. Although the soldiers marched and fought in ancient times, they had no meat and vegetables to eat and could only rely on grain to satisfy their hunger, but eight catties of grain per day is absolutely enough to eat and there is still plenty left.
The number given by Wu Jiu is definitely not a profiteer, it is a full counting.
A soldier eats eight catties of grain a day, 30 soldiers are 240 catties of grain, and [-] million catties of grain in [-] days. How can the ministers not be surprised when such a straightforward amount is piled up in front of them? Spectacular?
Everyone looked at the grain mountain outside in amazement, and Shenyou was about to stare his eyes down. Not only that, Wu Jiao waved his hand, and soon there were tiger army troops coming up to the hall, each holding a box in their hands. After walking in, "Bang bang bang bang" several times in a row, and put the heavy box on the ground.
Wu Jiao waved his hand, and the well-trained soldiers opened the box in unison, "Crack!", and all the ministers gasped again in a flash of "Ho!!!".
Inside the box is the Qi Dao, the currency in circulation in the Qi State. Although the Dao coin is not particularly popular among the common people in this era, it is already popular among the nobles. After all, this kind of Dao coin is much easier than directly exchanging food.
With so many boxes of knives and coins in front of them, everyone's eyes almost fell off. There are many high officials like Gao Xi Guo Yizhong sitting here. When it comes to the status of Qi, they are the most noble, but today is also an eye-opener.
Although it is an exaggeration to say that the country is as rich as the enemy, Wu Jiu is an invisible gentry, he does not show his mountains and dews on weekdays, but he did not expect to be so rich.
Qi Hou smiled and clapped his hands, making a sound of "pa, pa, pa", and said with a loud smile: "Okay, okay, within a day, the second brother actually finalized the marching rations for a month, it really is an eye-opener , I feel lonely, and I can't be more at ease when I hand over the position of chief minister to my second brother."
Although Wu Jiu showed his hands and threw away so much wealth, some people were surprised, some were convinced, and some were even more dissatisfied.
A senior official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu is just a young man who has no official position and no salary. How can he get so much money and food in one day? It must be unjust wealth. Please check it out!"
When Wu Jiao heard it, it was true that some people would not like what he did. At first, he clamored that Wu Jiao had the ability to prepare food, prepare, prepare, and see that Wu Jiao really prepared it within a day, and then started clamoring that it was absolutely fake. Yes, it must be greedy.
Wu Jiu was used to this kind of thing, he smiled, cupped his hands and said: "This doctor's words are wrong, the grain and money that Jiu earned were hard earned, and Jiu opened a small shop in the city. In restaurants, daily expenditures are kept in accounts, clearly and in detail, if the doctors don’t believe it, they can send someone to check the accounts to see if there is any corruption or perverting the law to take ill-gotten gains?”
Qihou's complexion was not very good, he stood up slowly, glanced at everyone, and said: "Yesterday, it was agreed in the main hall, that is, in front of all civil and military officials, the orphan promised that if the second elder brother can do it within a day If you can raise food and pay for the march, then you can do it with him, Da Si Nong, and you can't change your promises, and you may make jokes in the world. But now some people are not convinced..."
As he spoke, he slowly walked down the steps, came to those small boxes, bent down slightly, inserted his big hands into the box, grabbed a handful of Qi knives inside, and then slowly dropped them back into the box, making a "bang-dang" sound. Clang, clang, crisp sound.
Accompanied by the crisp sound, Qihou smiled again and said: "That's good, let's make a simple one. If someone can provide so much food and money, then he will take the position of Da Siong!"
As soon as Qihou said this, others looked sideways and began to discuss. Qihou glanced at everyone, and the courtier who had questioned just now slipped back to his seat silently, sat down with his head down, and didn't say a word. After all, it wasn't Anyone can spend that much money.
Qi Hou smiled and said: "I don't use money to measure your loyalty. After all, there are people who have no extra food and money, but think about it carefully, if a person has food that can rival a country When the country is in trouble, he can take out his own food and money, and donate all the [-] hu of food to the national treasury without hesitation. Isn't this person a loyal minister? Shouldn't he be reused?"
After Qihou finished speaking, everyone fell silent, Qihou laughed again, and glanced at the crowd, no one would speak now, so Qihou turned around, shook his sleeve robe, and quickly walked back to his seat Go up, spread out the sleeves and sit down, and said in a loud voice: "Let the imperial edict confer on Lu Jiu as the chief minister of the Qi State, and choose an auspicious day to hold the canonization ceremony."
As soon as Marquis Qi finished speaking, everyone immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing everyone kneeling down, Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is talented, Gu believes that second brother can be qualified for the position of Dasinong, and he will surprise Gu, right?"
Wu Jiu said: "Correction does not disgrace life."
Qihou said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, let's go away if there is nothing else."
Only then did the officials salute, and when Marquis Qi walked into the apse, they all dispersed. As soon as the court dispersed, many officials ran over, cupped their hands and said to Wu Jiu, "Congratulations, Da Si Nong."
The voices of congratulations were connected one by one, but there were also those who were envious and jealous, and Shenyou was among them. He wanted to play tricks on Wu Jiu, after all, Da Si Nong was a senior doctor, and Shenyou was just a doctor. Doctor of Chinese Medicine is short of official rank.
But firstly, there were too many congratulatory people, secondly, Wu Jiao ignored him, Shenyou left angrily after making fun of him.
Although he has not been canonized as a great minister, Wu Jiu is no longer a white man. Now he is a senior doctor. It can be said that he has reached the sky in one step, and he has also held the economic lifeline of Qi.
Wu Jiao wanted to go back, but he couldn't move, groups of people surrounded him, and finally got out, and saw Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya standing on his way back to the house.
Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Da Sinong is quite busy."
Wu Jiu said, "Master Zhao, don't laugh at Jiu."
Zhao Hu said: "Why are you laughing at the young master? The young master is now a big sinong. If you are really angry, it is refreshing to see the faces of those people."
Dong Guoya shook his head helplessly, and said: "Doctor Zhong and Young Master are reminiscing about the past, let's go into the room and talk."
Wu Jiu said, "That's right, let's go into the room and talk."
Everyone entered the house, and Ziqing and Yan'e also heard that Wu Jiu had reached the sky in one step and became the chief minister. Everyone was also happy.
Yan'e quickly took out fruit tea and scented tea to brew and serve tea for everyone.
Yan'e said: "There is only one thing that is so awkward. I can't call you son in the future. What should I call it?"
What Yan E said was heartless, but she listened carefully, and she couldn't be called the son because the identity of the son Jiu was really exposed. Everyone knew that he was not the blood of the nobles of the Qi country, but an illegitimate "evil son".
As soon as he said this, Zhao Hu glanced at Wu Jiu, and Dong Guoya glanced at Zhao Hu.
Ziqing glanced at Yan'e reproachfully, Yan'e didn't know why, she didn't know what she said wrongly.
Wu Jiu was still smiling, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, moistened his throat, after all, he ran to Lu's bedroom early in the morning, and he didn't have time to eat or drink, and he was dying of thirst by now .
Wu Jiu drank the fragrant fruit tea, which was both fragrant and sweet, and then raised his eyes with a smile and said, "Master Zhao, the first Duke invited three masters to assist the young master, Master Zhao is the master of Jiu, but now Jiu is not the master of Qi State. Nobles are not sons, Master Zhao has regretted it?"
When Zhao Hu heard this, he finally understood what Dong Guoya was doing for himself, and quickly said: "Young Master, Zhao Hu is not a snob. Take refuge, haven't you?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "That's right, but it's not appropriate to call him Young Master now, I'm afraid it will provoke others' tongues."
Yan E said, "Then what should I call it?"
Wu Jiao thought for a while, then suddenly showed a very sly smile, and said, "It's not nice to open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, and I won't kiss you, so let's do it, call me Lord!"
Everyone was surprised for a while, what is this called?Wu Jiao was smiling, and he felt like he became su and tall when he called it like that, while Ziqing looked at Wu Jiao's smile, and always felt hairy on his back, feeling that this word is not so good, I am afraid it is a fraud!
Everyone was discussing this topic, when they heard someone knock on the door, Ziqing went to open the door and saw that it was the eunuch beside Qihou.
The eunuch smiled, with a humble look on his face, as if his attitude was better than before, and said with a smile: "Da Sinoong, Your Majesty, invite Da Sinoong to come over."
Wu Jiao was very surprised, he hadn't had breakfast yet, why did Marquis Qi invite him over?This has just gone down.
But there was no other way, Wu Jiu stood up quickly, fortunately he hadn't changed into his casual clothes yet, so he said, "Your Excellency, lead the way."
The eunuch hurriedly said: "No, no, how dare a junior minister call you a master, the Dasinong offended the junior minister."
The eunuch was very respectful, and led Wu Jiu to the small dormitory. When Wu Jiu walked in, he saw that Marquis Qi had changed out of his court robe and was wearing black close-fitting clothes, because Marquis Qi's body temperature was already high. It was already early summer, and the weather was turning hot, so Qi Hou had already taken off his thick robe.
Especially indoors, Qihou was wearing black silk clothes, the soft and slippery texture set off his tall and straight body. He was kneeling on the seat, straight and straight, with a cup of fruit tea in his hand, squinting Gently blowing hot air in the eyes, the hot and sweet breath rose up, moistening Qi Hou's eyelashes.
Wu Jiu found that Qihou's hair was very black, his eyebrows were thick, and he looked black and long. Even his eyelashes were also black and long. He had a cold and hard face, but he was handsome and beautiful, and his eyelashes were still thick. It is so against the sky, if it is rolled a little more, I am afraid it will be discharged.
No, it is possible to discharge now, even if Qihou's eyelashes are not curly, he still discharges less...
"What's the matter? The second brother is crazy about Gu again?"
Wu corrected carefully looking at the boring Qihou, but was awakened by Qihou's laughter, and was startled. What is "again"?Where does the word "again" come from?
Wu Jiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."
Qihou smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, Da Sinong."
Wu Jiu glanced at Qihou, Qihou entered the country in love, and he has adapted to the new title so quickly.
Qihou smiled and said, "Please sit down."
As he spoke, he also poured a cup of tea for Wu Jiao, holding the teacup with his slender and strong fingers, and gently pushing it forward.
Wu Jiu sat down in front of Marquis Qi, and the two of them sat face to face, and said, "I don't know if your majesty is looking for Jiu, do you have any orders?"
Qihou smiled, and stretched out his hand to brush his loose hair. When he got up in the morning, he tied his hair up and tied it all up, but it was already loose.
After all, Marquis Qi is an aristocrat, so he still needs to pay attention to health preservation. Now it is late spring. Although spring is about to pass, it is still spring. Spring pays attention to hair growth.
Now that Marquis Qi let his hair down, his Mensao index had broken the watch, and he reached out to pluck his hair hanging in front of him, which made Wu Jiao's heart skip a beat, and he quickly lowered his head.
Qihou smiled and said: "Huh? If you don't have any orders? Can't you ask Da Sinong to come over and enhance your relationship?"
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, feeling that Marquis Qi was playing a scoundrel again.
Qihou smiled and stretched out his hand, and suddenly covered the back of Wu Jiao's hand on the desk. Wu Jiao was startled and wanted to pull his hand back, but Qihou said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, Now that I have given you an official position, a status, and even rights, but only one military power is not given to you, isn’t it true? Can’t the second brother feel it?”
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when Jiu heard that the King liked a woman, he would find her beautiful and pleasing to the eye in every possible way, and he would also think that her family was full of talents and entrusted him with important responsibilities. But if the woman fell out of favor, Then the king will think that she is ugly and vain in every way, and he will also think that his family is mediocre in every way."
Not to mention Duke Huan of Qi, which king is not like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who respects kings and barbarians the most among later generations, when he loves to see a woman, he can't wait to love her heart and soul, and when he doesn't love her, he hates it so much that his teeth marks itch. To destroy the nine clans and destroy the whole clan.
How could it be that Marquis Qi is not, in his previous life he doted on the indisputable Zheng Ji, so he also doted on son Zhao, so much so that he wanted to make son Zhao the crown prince.
Hearing this, Qi Hou was taken aback for a moment, then coughed, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't discuss this issue with my second brother today, so let's talk about something else?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please show me."
"Um……"
Qihou smiled and made a drawn-out nasal sound, as if he was thinking about what to say, and then said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to say this."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very surprised, what could embarrass Qi Hou to say it?Qihou's face is thicker than Qi Great Wall now!
Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear, and Jiu will listen carefully."
Qi Hou laughed, and said heartily: "Second brother ran to the restaurant yesterday, did he cook a delicacy called 'Golden Jade Mantang'? Second brother is really biased, and he started selling it, but he didn't make it for Gu to eat. .”
Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched again, and Qi Hou said with a shy face, a coquettish tone, and a gentle and low voice: "Hey second brother, I want to eat this, second brother makes it for Gu, okay?"
Qi Hou started the offensive of goosebumps again, Wu Jiu shook, coughed, and said quickly: "Jiao obeys orders..."
As he said, he hurriedly escaped from the small bedroom and ran all the way to the dining room. It has to be said that Qi Hou really took advantage of the right time and place, with outstanding appearance, good voice, and high position and authority. God really treated him favorably.
Listening to Qi Hou's "acting like a baby" voice, Wu Jiu's heart beat violently, his heart rate was going too fast, he just felt a little unnatural, so he hurried to the dining room.
Wu Jiu hadn't been in the dining room for a long time. After all, Wu Jiu was a special envoy to Beixing Huimeng, and he hadn't been here for a while. Plus, he had become a chief minister again. Everyone thought that Wu Jiu would never come again. .
Seeing Wu Jiu like this, everyone was a little surprised, the cooks hurriedly put down their work, and all ran over to get together, chirping and saluting Wu Jiu.
Because Wu Jiu is a gentle person, he never cares about small things with others, and he will not offend others, so he is very popular, and he is very generous in teaching cooks, so he is very popular.
Wu Jiu is here this time, and he is going to teach everyone how to do it, because Qi Hou asked for omelet rice by name.
Wu Jiao grabbed two eggs and weighed them in his hand, but after thinking about it, Qi Hou's appetite was like a cow, so he grabbed two more eggs, two eggs in one hand, a total of four eggs.
Wu Jiao looked at the eggs in his hand and thought for a while, four eggs, Qi Hou still has to eat other things, won't he make Qi Hou die?Or indigestion?
Wu Jiu took the eggs and walked to the stove, and started to make omelet rice.
Omelet rice naturally needs white rice, and it needs the kind of rice with distinct grains. Wu Jiao turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly brightened. Everyone who watched was a little surprised, and their backs felt cold.
Seeing the old son Jiu, now the Da Sinong, smiling with his lips raised, his eyes shining, staring at a pot of leftover rice with a smile on his face, and touching his chin.
Qihou is considered frugal, but there are a large amount of leftovers in the palace every day, especially the staple food. A prince must have six kinds of food for every meal. No matter how big the meal is, he can't finish it. The leftovers must be the most of.
There was a lot of leftover rice in that jar, Wu Jiao walked over and looked down into the big jar, his smile widened.
The leftovers are in line with Wu Jiu's requirements. First, the rice grains are relatively scattered.
Qihou smiled and said, "Oh? Then wait for the good news from the second brother?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, Jiu is so bold that I want to make a condition with you."
As soon as his words came out, Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong looked at him directly, because Marquis Qi asked Wu Jiu to be the chief farmer, but Wu Jiu still had to negotiate terms, no matter whether he was talented or not, this was a bit too arrogant. I haven't become a chief minister yet, so I just keep my mouth shut.
Qihou was not angry, but said with a smile: "Second brother, why not talk about it."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands respectfully and said, "Please lend me a thousand tiger and ben troops, Your Majesty."
As soon as his words came out, everyone started whispering again, the Huben soldiers were the soldiers guarding the Qi Palace, and they were all the cronies among the cronies, Wu Jiu wanted so many Huben soldiers as soon as he asked, those who didn't know thought that Wu Jiao was going to rebel.
Qihou raised his eyebrows and said with a smile: "Okay, second brother just borrow it."
Qihou didn't even ask the reason, and he still had a smile on his face. The officials were all surprised. Gao Xi hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, I dare to ask my lord, what are these tiger and cardinal troops used for?"
Wu Jiu smiled, his face was a bit mysterious, and he just said three words, "Move food."
Everyone was surprised and looked at Wu Jiu.
Wu Jiu felt that this shocking and puzzled look was really interesting. Wu Jiu was also considered a "leader" in his previous life, but what he led was not the real battlefield of fighting and killing, but the commercial battlefield of intrigue and deceit. .
In fact, Wu Jiu is quite thankful that he came to the middle of the Eastern Zhou Dynasty and the Spring and Autumn Period. After all, this era is not like the Warring States period hundreds of years later. Today's Spring and Autumn Period puts etiquette first. To draw the Tao with etiquette and righteousness, it is natural to follow the etiquette and righteousness.
Following etiquette and righteousness, people of this era are far less "insidious" than modern people, whether they are fighting wars or doing business. Let's just use war as an example. Fuck, it's a shameless act, and all the battles on the battlefield will be fought at the places that have been agreed in advance. The places other than the agreed places are wild fields. When fighting, you must pay attention to direct confrontation, and you can't capture the old man with white hair , if an old man with white hair is captured, they must be released home to retire. When chasing a prisoner, they can only go up to [-] steps, and once the [-] steps are reached, they can no longer be forced.
There are so many such rules and regulations of etiquette and righteousness, so that this era is still very "pedantic", and people are relatively gentlemen, so Wu Jiao feels that although the heavy responsibility seems to be on the shoulders, it should not be very difficult to carry it out.
Everyone was surprised, but Qi Hou said with a smile: "Okay, according to the second brother, I will let Huben Zhonglang transfer a thousand soldiers and horses with the second brother in a while. After the court today, before the court tomorrow, the thousand soldiers and horses will be sent to the court tomorrow." They are all at the disposal of the second brother, and no one else should interfere."
When he said this, everyone felt that Marquis Qi really trusted Wu Jiu, and all the guards around him were transferred to Wu Jiu, and there were still 1000 people. In the Spring and Autumn Period, there was no army of 30 million like the Han Dynasty. After all There are many countries in the Spring and Autumn Period, hundreds of countries are sealed off, and the boundaries are small. 50 people are not a small number. To be honest, if a rebellion forces the palace, it is enough to surround the palace or something.
Marquis Qi gave the thousand soldiers to Wu Jiu without much questioning, which shows how much he loves and trusts Wu Jiu.
The trial friend who was kneeling on the ground did not dare to look up, she was sweating silently, knowing in his heart that he had touched Ni Lin this time, and wanted to punish some Wu Jiao, after all, Wu Jiao relied on himself to be favored before, so he did not give I don't want to save my own face, and I don't want to be favored by others.
Now that Wu Jiu's scandal is spreading, he thought it would make Wu Jiao look good, but it turned out that Wu Jiu really looked good. With his official rank, such a huge fat difference is on his body, isn't he making a lot of money? ?
But Shenyou didn't dare to speak anymore, he knelt on the ground obediently without raising his head.
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you sir."
Qi Hou said with a smile: "Okay, there will be a court meeting tomorrow, gentlemen, don't forget to come to the palace to see how the second brother finalizes the marching rations."
Everyone was a little puzzled, and quickly said yes.
Qihou said: "If there is nothing to do, let's leave the court."
He said, everyone saluted, and waited for Marquis Qi to advance into the inner hall, and then dispersed out of the road bedroom.
Wu Jiu immediately turned around and wanted to leave the hall, he was short on time, not for anything else, but to move food, with so much food, finding a thousand people to carry it was really not an exaggeration, Wu Jiao was afraid that time would not be enough to move it Food, but if you ask to borrow thousands of people, I am afraid that others will think that you are going to rebel...
Wu Jiu quickly walked out of the main hall, intending to leave the palace to go to a small restaurant. At this moment, he heard someone calling him behind him. Wu Jiu thought he was an acquaintance, but it turned out to be someone he didn't know very well. It was just now that he proposed a test in the hall Wu Jiu's business appearance.
The Shang Rong in front of him is in his twenties, almost 30 years old, but he is already considered a young man among the courtiers. This Shang Rong is an admonishing minister, but not Lao Tzu's master Shang Rong.
Shang Rong is intelligent, talented, and outspoken, so he can be an admonisher. Shang Rong came from behind, cupped his hands and said: "Young Master, Rong Fang was rude in the palace, please forgive me."
Wu Jiu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Doctor Shang put forward a simple condition, and Jiu would like to thank Doctor Shang."
Shang Rong was taken aback for a moment, he did not intend to be mean and embarrassing, but the subject of this test was indeed not easy, he did not expect that Wu Jiao would not need so much time at all, only one day would be enough.
Seeing Wu Jiu's face full of smiles, Shang Rong quickly cupped his hands and said, "My lord is really a great man, Shang Rong admires it."
Wu Jiu also cupped his hands, and said: "Doctor Shang is also dedicated to the country, and he has no malice. If he is free, he will invite Doctor Shang to have a glass of wine another day. Today is really a coincidence. He has to be busy with the test. , please ask Dr. Shang to give you face some other day."
Shang Rong smiled politely, and said respectfully: "Yes, please go slowly, my lord."
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "See you later, Doctor Shang."
As he spoke, he walked forward quickly. Someone had already informed Hu Zi, who was the general of Huben, Hu Zi hurriedly went to Wu Jiu, and the two met halfway.
When Huzi saw Wu Jiu, he was surprised and said, "My lord, how can you boast so much? Can you really gather enough food in one day?"
Wu Jiu waved his hands with a smile and said, "Huzi, you can just lend me someone."
Huzi nodded quickly, fearing that there was not enough time, he said, "Is there any request? Or should you order troops yourself?"
Wu Jiu said: "There is no requirement, just be tall, strong and strong."
Huzi is at a loss, tall, strong and powerful?It sounded like he was going to move bricks, so he hurriedly said: "Okay, okay, I'll go to count the soldiers right away, and the soldiers and horses will be ready before noon."
Wu Jiu said, "You don't need to report with me, let them gather at the gate of the palace at noon."
"Yes, son."
Hu Zi immediately turned around and left, busy to order soldiers, Wu Jiao looked at Hu Zi's back, touched his chin, thinking that people with wives are not ordinary, Hu Zi used to be sloppy, as a A tiger general, just talented, it's not enough if he doesn't have an image, he will definitely provoke the tongue of others.
Today's beard is very neatly trimmed, he is tall and handsome in armor, and his face with square Chinese characters is also quite clean. My son married Mrs. Peach Blossom, and I felt that he was married to the right person.
Wu Jiu was so envious, he wanted a good wife, but after thinking about it, he had never been in a relationship in his previous life, and it was the first time in his life that he reacted to a man. Could it be that he was born a crook?Then it is not good to delay the woman.
Wu Jiu thought about this, shook his head, and hurried to the palace gate, and went to a small restaurant first.
Wu Jiu went to a small restaurant and asked the steward to weigh the food roughly, only a little more. There was still some time before noon, so Wu Jiu didn't go back to the palace immediately, but stayed in the restaurant to add more food to the small restaurant. Some dishes.
The previous pancakes, wontons, etc., have been reproduced by many shops. Since Wu Jiu opened the restaurant, restaurants in Linzi City seem to be blooming everywhere, and all of them are imitated small shops.
But Wu Jiu is not worried at all, because he still has a lot of skills in his heart, and it seems that there is no day that can be used up, so there is no need to worry about being robbed of his business by others.
Wu Jiu entered the back kitchen, thought about the simple and easy-to-learn recipes, and then thought of the sweet dream he had this morning.
Wu Zheng is lying on the lazy bed, hugging the quilt and dreaming of eating omelet rice, the fragrant and soft omelet rice, everything is fragrant and steaming, the outside is golden yellow egg skin, and the inside is bright rice, mixed with colors The bright and colorful diced vegetables, like a pile of jade jewels, rolled out from the coat made of gold, the color is really attractive.
Wu Zheng wanted to eat omelet rice, but was woken up by the eunuch sent by Qi Hou, which frightened him. In the face of delicious food, it is cruel to eat mandarin ducks with a stick. matter.
So Wu Jiao is obsessed with omelet rice. It happens that omelet rice is simple and easy to make, and does not require any special ingredients, and the taste is varied and unpredictable, which is just right for small restaurants.
Wu Jiu gathered all the cooks together and began to teach them how to make omelet rice. The cooks loved this moment the most, because others cook in a sneaky way, and they didn’t want them to steal their lessons, but Wu Jiao didn’t. What’s the trick? He would tell them, and he would tell them about any new dishes, and he would teach them how to make them step by step, lest he didn't explain in detail. Their living skills are so generous, how can the cooks not love Wu Jiu?
Wu Jiu was busy in the dining room for half a day, and he gave the omelet rice a very festive name, Jin Yu Man Tang.
Seeing that it was almost noon, Wu Jiu didn't even have time to eat lunch, so he rushed to Qi Palace in a hurry.
When I got to the door, I saw a black army of tigers and cardinals, as if some important person was about to go out.
Hu Zi was dressed in armor and had been standing by the side for a long time, waiting anxiously for Wu Jiu to arrive. Seeing Wu Jiu's shadow, he immediately walked over happily, cupped his hands and said, "My lord, everything is ready!"
Huzi looked eager to try, Wu Jiao looked at his expression, why did he feel that Huzi had found the pleasure of occupying the mountain and being king again...
Wu Jiu then rode on Jiumo, and led the mighty Huben army to the small restaurant. The small restaurant is overcrowded, many people are queuing up, an hour is short, after all, in this age, the management of food Still few, Wu Jiu has already become a monopoly leader in the industry, and in this era, the most indispensable thing is nobles and gentry from all over the world. In this way, the nobles and gentry from all over the world come to the small restaurant, can they not be ranked? ?
A thousand tiger and cardinal troops marched clangingly to the entrance of the restaurant, scaring the nobles and gentry into thinking that they had done something wrong and were about to be arrested. As a result, Wu Jiao led people into the courtyard from behind.
Then, with an order, they began to move food...
Wu Jiao had been busy all day long, and after dinner he finished his chatter. He hurried back to the palace and entered the house, his back ached from exhaustion.
He didn't have time to eat at noon, and it was a little later in the evening. Yan'e had already warmed up a meal for him, and he was waiting for Wu Jiu to come back.Wu Jiu came back to rest for a while, then got up to eat, thinking that he really shouldn't boast, he was already exhausted, he didn't expect that there was so much food.
After eating, Wu Jiu took a bath and went to bed, preparing to go to bed the next morning.
Wu Jiu felt that he hadn't slept long, when he heard Ziqing's voice saying, "Master, it's morning, it's time to get up and go to court."
Wu Jiao frowned, feeling that he hadn't slept for a long time, and didn't want to get up at all, wrapped himself up like a rice dumpling, and pushed himself into the quilt with all his strength, Ziqing's face turned blue, and he didn't dare to really reach out to dig Quilt.
When Yan'e walked in from the outside, she saw Ziqing staring at the quilt, Yan'e's stomach ached from laughing.
Ziqing said helplessly, "Don't laugh, come and tell the young master to get up early."
Wu Jiu could never afford to go to court so early, because he never went to court, and now it is late spring and early summer, and the weather is very early. The ancients had the habit of resting at sunset and working at sunrise, so in summer, it is also early to go to court, and the sky is bright, and it is also very early. It was around three o'clock, and I still had to get up and wash up, ready to go to court.
Wu Jiu had never woken up so early before, hugging the quilt to play tricks, Yan'e laughed at first, but then seeing that it was too late, the two hurriedly dug Wu Jiao out.
Wu Jiu was already woken up by their trouble, looked at the time, as if it was too late, washed and changed clothes in a hurry, without even a stomach pad, rushed out of the house in a hurry.
Yan'e chased after him and shouted: "My lord! My lord! You didn't wear your crown!"
Wu Jiu felt helpless, hurried over to put on his hat, and then hurried to the palace, thinking in his heart, it was not easy for the emperors in ancient times, they had to get up so early to go to court, if they didn't go to court, the crowd The minister also has an opinion that you are not diligent enough.
Because Wu Jiu got up too late, he didn't want to be late, and the final result was that all the officials sat down in the Lu bedroom, except that Marquis Qi didn't come, but Wu Jiu didn't come either.
Today's Lu Palace is very magnificent, the huge palace is shrouded in the warm light of the morning, what is different from usual is that when all the ministers came to the Lu Palace, they would all make a sound of gasping for air, and opened their eyes wide. Eyes, teeth clenched.
Just because at the entrance of the Lu Palace, there is a rolling mountain of grain. The golden grain shines brightly under the brighter early summer sun, adding a majesty and magnificence to the Lu Palace.
The grain mountain was as high as several people, with a sharp point, and it kept rolling up and down, as if it couldn't see the end at all.
Everyone came over and said "Ho!!", then turned their heads to look at the grain mountain all the way, and walked into the palace with surprise on their faces.
When Wu Jiu came to the Lu bedroom, his expression was a little hasty. As soon as he came in, he said "Shua!", all eyes were on Wu Jiao, who was so confused that Wu Jiao thought he was wearing obscene clothes and ran out. , hurriedly lowered his head to look at his clothes, it was quite decent and there was nothing wrong with it, so he lightly brushed his robes and walked in slowly.
Those who have something good to do already stood up with a fawning face, and said to Wu Jiu, "Young master!"
Someone took the lead, and many people also rushed over to curry favor with Wu Jiu. Wu Jiu felt that it was only a short day, and the reactions of many people were very different.
Gao Xi and Guo Yizhong also came, and the two of them sat in front of the doctor, looking at the undulating mountains of grain outside the gate of the underground hall, and both were a little pensive.
Soon Qihou came. He already knew that his hall was full of food. Someone had already informed him yesterday. After all, the road bedroom was connected to the small bedroom. Hou must have known.
Qihou was in a good mood today, he walked in with a smile on his face, and said with a smile: "My dear gentlemen, there is no need to be too polite."
As he spoke, he sat down, looked at the high officials in the audience, and said with a smile: "There is no court meeting today, but one more court meeting is to discuss the matter of Da Sinong."
He said, looked up at Wu Jiu, and said, "Second Brother, why don't you just report to everyone?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Yes, Your Majesty."
Wu Jiu turned around with a smile, bowed his hands to the ministers, and said neither humble nor overbearing: "According to the questions of the postgraduate entrance examination a few days ago, Jiu needs to prepare a month's military salary and food for the crusade against Sui State."
As he spoke, he unfolded his white sleeve robe, stretched out his hand and said, "Please look at me, gentlemen. Here is the food prepared by the police. Calculated on the basis that every ten soldiers consume one hu a day, [-] soldiers consume [-] hu a day." Dendrobium food, one month's marching expenses is [-] Dendrobium grain, and there are preparations outside the hall, there is only a little more, please check it out."
The measurement units of ancient grain, such as bucket, dendrobium, and stone are volume units, not weight units as many people imagined, but it can also be converted a little bit. Ten soldiers eat one dendrobium grain a day, which is actually equivalent to each soldier's day. Eat eight catties of grain.
The amount of eight catties is very extravagant. Although the soldiers marched and fought in ancient times, they had no meat and vegetables to eat and could only rely on grain to satisfy their hunger, but eight catties of grain per day is absolutely enough to eat and there is still plenty left.
The number given by Wu Jiu is definitely not a profiteer, it is a full counting.
A soldier eats eight catties of grain a day, 30 soldiers are 240 catties of grain, and [-] million catties of grain in [-] days. How can the ministers not be surprised when such a straightforward amount is piled up in front of them? Spectacular?
Everyone looked at the grain mountain outside in amazement, and Shenyou was about to stare his eyes down. Not only that, Wu Jiao waved his hand, and soon there were tiger army troops coming up to the hall, each holding a box in their hands. After walking in, "Bang bang bang bang" several times in a row, and put the heavy box on the ground.
Wu Jiao waved his hand, and the well-trained soldiers opened the box in unison, "Crack!", and all the ministers gasped again in a flash of "Ho!!!".
Inside the box is the Qi Dao, the currency in circulation in the Qi State. Although the Dao coin is not particularly popular among the common people in this era, it is already popular among the nobles. After all, this kind of Dao coin is much easier than directly exchanging food.
With so many boxes of knives and coins in front of them, everyone's eyes almost fell off. There are many high officials like Gao Xi Guo Yizhong sitting here. When it comes to the status of Qi, they are the most noble, but today is also an eye-opener.
Although it is an exaggeration to say that the country is as rich as the enemy, Wu Jiu is an invisible gentry, he does not show his mountains and dews on weekdays, but he did not expect to be so rich.
Qi Hou smiled and clapped his hands, making a sound of "pa, pa, pa", and said with a loud smile: "Okay, okay, within a day, the second brother actually finalized the marching rations for a month, it really is an eye-opener , I feel lonely, and I can't be more at ease when I hand over the position of chief minister to my second brother."
Although Wu Jiu showed his hands and threw away so much wealth, some people were surprised, some were convinced, and some were even more dissatisfied.
A senior official stood up and said, "Your Majesty, Young Master Jiu is just a young man who has no official position and no salary. How can he get so much money and food in one day? It must be unjust wealth. Please check it out!"
When Wu Jiao heard it, it was true that some people would not like what he did. At first, he clamored that Wu Jiao had the ability to prepare food, prepare, prepare, and see that Wu Jiao really prepared it within a day, and then started clamoring that it was absolutely fake. Yes, it must be greedy.
Wu Jiu was used to this kind of thing, he smiled, cupped his hands and said: "This doctor's words are wrong, the grain and money that Jiu earned were hard earned, and Jiu opened a small shop in the city. In restaurants, daily expenditures are kept in accounts, clearly and in detail, if the doctors don’t believe it, they can send someone to check the accounts to see if there is any corruption or perverting the law to take ill-gotten gains?”
Qihou's complexion was not very good, he stood up slowly, glanced at everyone, and said: "Yesterday, it was agreed in the main hall, that is, in front of all civil and military officials, the orphan promised that if the second elder brother can do it within a day If you can raise food and pay for the march, then you can do it with him, Da Si Nong, and you can't change your promises, and you may make jokes in the world. But now some people are not convinced..."
As he spoke, he slowly walked down the steps, came to those small boxes, bent down slightly, inserted his big hands into the box, grabbed a handful of Qi knives inside, and then slowly dropped them back into the box, making a "bang-dang" sound. Clang, clang, crisp sound.
Accompanied by the crisp sound, Qihou smiled again and said: "That's good, let's make a simple one. If someone can provide so much food and money, then he will take the position of Da Siong!"
As soon as Qihou said this, others looked sideways and began to discuss. Qihou glanced at everyone, and the courtier who had questioned just now slipped back to his seat silently, sat down with his head down, and didn't say a word. After all, it wasn't Anyone can spend that much money.
Qi Hou smiled and said: "I don't use money to measure your loyalty. After all, there are people who have no extra food and money, but think about it carefully, if a person has food that can rival a country When the country is in trouble, he can take out his own food and money, and donate all the [-] hu of food to the national treasury without hesitation. Isn't this person a loyal minister? Shouldn't he be reused?"
After Qihou finished speaking, everyone fell silent, Qihou laughed again, and glanced at the crowd, no one would speak now, so Qihou turned around, shook his sleeve robe, and quickly walked back to his seat Go up, spread out the sleeves and sit down, and said in a loud voice: "Let the imperial edict confer on Lu Jiu as the chief minister of the Qi State, and choose an auspicious day to hold the canonization ceremony."
As soon as Marquis Qi finished speaking, everyone immediately knelt on the ground and shouted: "Your Majesty is wise!"
Seeing everyone kneeling down, Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your trust."
Qihou said with a smile: "Second brother is talented, Gu believes that second brother can be qualified for the position of Dasinong, and he will surprise Gu, right?"
Wu Jiu said: "Correction does not disgrace life."
Qihou said with a smile: "Okay, that's it, let's go away if there is nothing else."
Only then did the officials salute, and when Marquis Qi walked into the apse, they all dispersed. As soon as the court dispersed, many officials ran over, cupped their hands and said to Wu Jiu, "Congratulations, Da Si Nong."
The voices of congratulations were connected one by one, but there were also those who were envious and jealous, and Shenyou was among them. He wanted to play tricks on Wu Jiu, after all, Da Si Nong was a senior doctor, and Shenyou was just a doctor. Doctor of Chinese Medicine is short of official rank.
But firstly, there were too many congratulatory people, secondly, Wu Jiao ignored him, Shenyou left angrily after making fun of him.
Although he has not been canonized as a great minister, Wu Jiu is no longer a white man. Now he is a senior doctor. It can be said that he has reached the sky in one step, and he has also held the economic lifeline of Qi.
Wu Jiao wanted to go back, but he couldn't move, groups of people surrounded him, and finally got out, and saw Zhao Hu and Dong Guo Ya standing on his way back to the house.
Zhao Hu smiled and said, "Da Sinong is quite busy."
Wu Jiu said, "Master Zhao, don't laugh at Jiu."
Zhao Hu said: "Why are you laughing at the young master? The young master is now a big sinong. If you are really angry, it is refreshing to see the faces of those people."
Dong Guoya shook his head helplessly, and said: "Doctor Zhong and Young Master are reminiscing about the past, let's go into the room and talk."
Wu Jiu said, "That's right, let's go into the room and talk."
Everyone entered the house, and Ziqing and Yan'e also heard that Wu Jiu had reached the sky in one step and became the chief minister. Everyone was also happy.
Yan'e quickly took out fruit tea and scented tea to brew and serve tea for everyone.
Yan'e said: "There is only one thing that is so awkward. I can't call you son in the future. What should I call it?"
What Yan E said was heartless, but she listened carefully, and she couldn't be called the son because the identity of the son Jiu was really exposed. Everyone knew that he was not the blood of the nobles of the Qi country, but an illegitimate "evil son".
As soon as he said this, Zhao Hu glanced at Wu Jiu, and Dong Guoya glanced at Zhao Hu.
Ziqing glanced at Yan'e reproachfully, Yan'e didn't know why, she didn't know what she said wrongly.
Wu Jiu was still smiling, picked up the teacup, took a sip of the tea, moistened his throat, after all, he ran to Lu's bedroom early in the morning, and he didn't have time to eat or drink, and he was dying of thirst by now .
Wu Jiu drank the fragrant fruit tea, which was both fragrant and sweet, and then raised his eyes with a smile and said, "Master Zhao, the first Duke invited three masters to assist the young master, Master Zhao is the master of Jiu, but now Jiu is not the master of Qi State. Nobles are not sons, Master Zhao has regretted it?"
When Zhao Hu heard this, he finally understood what Dong Guoya was doing for himself, and quickly said: "Young Master, Zhao Hu is not a snob. Take refuge, haven't you?"
Wu Jiu smiled and said, "That's right, but it's not appropriate to call him Young Master now, I'm afraid it will provoke others' tongues."
Yan E said, "Then what should I call it?"
Wu Jiao thought for a while, then suddenly showed a very sly smile, and said, "It's not nice to open your mouth and keep your mouth shut, and I won't kiss you, so let's do it, call me Lord!"
Everyone was surprised for a while, what is this called?Wu Jiao was smiling, and he felt like he became su and tall when he called it like that, while Ziqing looked at Wu Jiao's smile, and always felt hairy on his back, feeling that this word is not so good, I am afraid it is a fraud!
Everyone was discussing this topic, when they heard someone knock on the door, Ziqing went to open the door and saw that it was the eunuch beside Qihou.
The eunuch smiled, with a humble look on his face, as if his attitude was better than before, and said with a smile: "Da Sinoong, Your Majesty, invite Da Sinoong to come over."
Wu Jiao was very surprised, he hadn't had breakfast yet, why did Marquis Qi invite him over?This has just gone down.
But there was no other way, Wu Jiu stood up quickly, fortunately he hadn't changed into his casual clothes yet, so he said, "Your Excellency, lead the way."
The eunuch hurriedly said: "No, no, how dare a junior minister call you a master, the Dasinong offended the junior minister."
The eunuch was very respectful, and led Wu Jiu to the small dormitory. When Wu Jiu walked in, he saw that Marquis Qi had changed out of his court robe and was wearing black close-fitting clothes, because Marquis Qi's body temperature was already high. It was already early summer, and the weather was turning hot, so Qi Hou had already taken off his thick robe.
Especially indoors, Qihou was wearing black silk clothes, the soft and slippery texture set off his tall and straight body. He was kneeling on the seat, straight and straight, with a cup of fruit tea in his hand, squinting Gently blowing hot air in the eyes, the hot and sweet breath rose up, moistening Qi Hou's eyelashes.
Wu Jiu found that Qihou's hair was very black, his eyebrows were thick, and he looked black and long. Even his eyelashes were also black and long. He had a cold and hard face, but he was handsome and beautiful, and his eyelashes were still thick. It is so against the sky, if it is rolled a little more, I am afraid it will be discharged.
No, it is possible to discharge now, even if Qihou's eyelashes are not curly, he still discharges less...
"What's the matter? The second brother is crazy about Gu again?"
Wu corrected carefully looking at the boring Qihou, but was awakened by Qihou's laughter, and was startled. What is "again"?Where does the word "again" come from?
Wu Jiu hurriedly cupped his hands and said, "Jiu pays homage to Your Majesty."
Qihou smiled and said, "You don't have to be polite, Da Sinong."
Wu Jiu glanced at Qihou, Qihou entered the country in love, and he has adapted to the new title so quickly.
Qihou smiled and said, "Please sit down."
As he spoke, he also poured a cup of tea for Wu Jiao, holding the teacup with his slender and strong fingers, and gently pushing it forward.
Wu Jiu sat down in front of Marquis Qi, and the two of them sat face to face, and said, "I don't know if your majesty is looking for Jiu, do you have any orders?"
Qihou smiled, and stretched out his hand to brush his loose hair. When he got up in the morning, he tied his hair up and tied it all up, but it was already loose.
After all, Marquis Qi is an aristocrat, so he still needs to pay attention to health preservation. Now it is late spring. Although spring is about to pass, it is still spring. Spring pays attention to hair growth.
Now that Marquis Qi let his hair down, his Mensao index had broken the watch, and he reached out to pluck his hair hanging in front of him, which made Wu Jiao's heart skip a beat, and he quickly lowered his head.
Qihou smiled and said: "Huh? If you don't have any orders? Can't you ask Da Sinong to come over and enhance your relationship?"
Wu Jiu's eyelids twitched, feeling that Marquis Qi was playing a scoundrel again.
Qihou smiled and stretched out his hand, and suddenly covered the back of Wu Jiao's hand on the desk. Wu Jiao was startled and wanted to pull his hand back, but Qihou said in a gentle voice: "Second brother, Now that I have given you an official position, a status, and even rights, but only one military power is not given to you, isn’t it true? Can’t the second brother feel it?”
Wu Jiu smiled and said: "Your Majesty, when Jiu heard that the King liked a woman, he would find her beautiful and pleasing to the eye in every possible way, and he would also think that her family was full of talents and entrusted him with important responsibilities. But if the woman fell out of favor, Then the king will think that she is ugly and vain in every way, and he will also think that his family is mediocre in every way."
Not to mention Duke Huan of Qi, which king is not like this, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty who respects kings and barbarians the most among later generations, when he loves to see a woman, he can't wait to love her heart and soul, and when he doesn't love her, he hates it so much that his teeth marks itch. To destroy the nine clans and destroy the whole clan.
How could it be that Marquis Qi is not, in his previous life he doted on the indisputable Zheng Ji, so he also doted on son Zhao, so much so that he wanted to make son Zhao the crown prince.
Hearing this, Qi Hou was taken aback for a moment, then coughed, and said with a smile: "Forget it, I won't discuss this issue with my second brother today, so let's talk about something else?"
Wu Jiu cupped his hands and said, "Your Majesty, please show me."
"Um……"
Qihou smiled and made a drawn-out nasal sound, as if he was thinking about what to say, and then said with a smile: "I'm really embarrassed to say this."
When Wu Jiu heard this, he was very surprised, what could embarrass Qi Hou to say it?Qihou's face is thicker than Qi Great Wall now!
Wu Jiu hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, please make it clear, and Jiu will listen carefully."
Qi Hou laughed, and said heartily: "Second brother ran to the restaurant yesterday, did he cook a delicacy called 'Golden Jade Mantang'? Second brother is really biased, and he started selling it, but he didn't make it for Gu to eat. .”
Wu Jiao's eyelids twitched again, and Qi Hou said with a shy face, a coquettish tone, and a gentle and low voice: "Hey second brother, I want to eat this, second brother makes it for Gu, okay?"
Qi Hou started the offensive of goosebumps again, Wu Jiu shook, coughed, and said quickly: "Jiao obeys orders..."
As he said, he hurriedly escaped from the small bedroom and ran all the way to the dining room. It has to be said that Qi Hou really took advantage of the right time and place, with outstanding appearance, good voice, and high position and authority. God really treated him favorably.
Listening to Qi Hou's "acting like a baby" voice, Wu Jiu's heart beat violently, his heart rate was going too fast, he just felt a little unnatural, so he hurried to the dining room.
Wu Jiu hadn't been in the dining room for a long time. After all, Wu Jiu was a special envoy to Beixing Huimeng, and he hadn't been here for a while. Plus, he had become a chief minister again. Everyone thought that Wu Jiu would never come again. .
Seeing Wu Jiu like this, everyone was a little surprised, the cooks hurriedly put down their work, and all ran over to get together, chirping and saluting Wu Jiu.
Because Wu Jiu is a gentle person, he never cares about small things with others, and he will not offend others, so he is very popular, and he is very generous in teaching cooks, so he is very popular.
Wu Jiu is here this time, and he is going to teach everyone how to do it, because Qi Hou asked for omelet rice by name.
Wu Jiao grabbed two eggs and weighed them in his hand, but after thinking about it, Qi Hou's appetite was like a cow, so he grabbed two more eggs, two eggs in one hand, a total of four eggs.
Wu Jiao looked at the eggs in his hand and thought for a while, four eggs, Qi Hou still has to eat other things, won't he make Qi Hou die?Or indigestion?
Wu Jiu took the eggs and walked to the stove, and started to make omelet rice.
Omelet rice naturally needs white rice, and it needs the kind of rice with distinct grains. Wu Jiao turned his head to look, and his eyes suddenly brightened. Everyone who watched was a little surprised, and their backs felt cold.
Seeing the old son Jiu, now the Da Sinong, smiling with his lips raised, his eyes shining, staring at a pot of leftover rice with a smile on his face, and touching his chin.
Qihou is considered frugal, but there are a large amount of leftovers in the palace every day, especially the staple food. A prince must have six kinds of food for every meal. No matter how big the meal is, he can't finish it. The leftovers must be the most of.
There was a lot of leftover rice in that jar, Wu Jiao walked over and looked down into the big jar, his smile widened.
The leftovers are in line with Wu Jiu's requirements. First, the rice grains are relatively scattered.
