Tang's dining table

"Replying to Your Majesty, it was requested by me."

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu and said, "Did you ask for it? Since you can ask for a favor from Ying Gong, why not ask for a bigger official position?"

"Because Weichen has just studied hard for three years from Taixue, and he was lucky enough to participate in the big competition, and won by chance. In addition, Weichen has made minor contributions to the country in the past, so he thinks he is still qualified to be a seventh-grade county captain."

"Did you know that just after you finished writing the paper, Li Yifu and Chu Suiliang circled a big nine characters on your paper?

Do you think you are worthy of this nine-character name? "Li Zhi said this and took a step forward, almost staring into Yun Chu's eyes.

Yun Chu took a step back respectfully and said, "If Li Yifu hadn't been Wei Chen's mentor, Wei Chen's papers would have been ranked among the top three."

"Oh? Are you really so talented?"

Yun Chu lowered his head and looked into Li Hong's dark eyes and said: "Jinchangfang is able to have His Majesty visit us many times, which already speaks volumes, even if the paper Wei Chen answered in Sifang Pavilion was not good.

How do you think your Majesty responded to the paper called Jinchangfang in front of you? "

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu for a long time and then said: "Bold! I'm here to ask you, are you responsible for the two rotting corpses hanging on the lotus pond in Dongshi?"

Yunchu saluted and said, "Exactly."

Li Zhi said angrily: "The world is peaceful and the universe is bright, why do you do such outrageous things?"

Yun Chu took a step back again and saluted: "Tuen Supervisor Feng Zhong swallowed up a total of 200 yuan of special funds for transforming saline-alkali land in Toad Ling. Zhao Sanlang, a subordinate official, embezzled seventeen government soldiers from Wannian County by false claims, blackmailing and other means. The amount of auxiliary horse purchase money is one hundred and thirty-three.

I discovered this problem when I checked Wannian County's treasury, grain depot, and Liu Cao's account books.

They were ordered to make up the money they had embezzled within two days. As a result, they were given the opportunity to atone for their crimes, but they committed suicide by hanging themselves that night.

I believe that when a person dies, the money and food that is greedy must be returned to the public. In order to deter those who come after him, he hangs his body as a punishment. I think there is nothing wrong with it. "

After hearing what Yun Chu said, Li Zhi turned around and looked at an official who was holding a pen and taking notes at any time. The Secretary Cheng nodded slightly, indicating that what Yun Chu said was well documented.

"Even so, you could have used other methods. Why did you use such brutal methods in Chang'an?"

Yun Chu saluted again: "Because Wei Chen grew up in the Western Region, he has not learned many good ways to shock people's hearts. Moreover, Wei Chen thinks that there is no better way than hanging a corpse."

Li Zhi thought for a moment and said: "Oh, since it is a public matter, it must be handled by the public. I will pardon your innocence."

Although Yunchu didn't know where he was guilty, he still saluted and thanked him: "Thank you for your kindness, Your Majesty."

Li Zhi looked back at Wu Mei, who had a big belly, and said to Yun Chu: "There must be people who are good at life. Since the two of them have failed the court and me, I can't help but be kind.

Let's do this. Let me repay the missing three hundred and thirty guan for them. After you go back, you can unwrap the corpse and bury it alive. "

Yunchu didn't think it was a good idea for Li Zhi to do this. If Li Zhi's wish was fulfilled, wouldn't it mean that his role as a villain during this period would be in vain? It took a lot of effort for him to make the people of Wannian County feel that it was right to abide by the law. If Li Zhi did this, wouldn't he be back before liberation?

Yun Chu cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty is kind, and I am inexplicably grateful. However, the families of these two people have already arrived at the case. Weichen has already recovered part of the stolen money, and the other part of the money and food. I only need to sell the family members of the criminals to make up for it." .”

Li Zhi's brows immediately frowned. He did not expect to encounter a contradiction from a seventh-grade official here.

At this time, Wu Mei said on the side: "Your Majesty wants to pray for the child in my belly. I am very grateful. If for the sake of this child, your Majesty forgets the strictness of the laws of the Tang Dynasty, it will not be beautiful. Concubine I thought, wouldn’t it be the best of both worlds if His Majesty bought the family members of the criminals with a reward and then released them?”

Li Zhi ignored Wu Mei's words and continued to look at Yun Chu and said: "In your eyes, there is no room for discussion about the law?"

Yun Chu shook his head and said: "If even the laws need to be discussed, I will not know what kind of rules I should follow to continue to be an official."

"Okay! Remember what you said today. I don't want you to be lenient to you one day because you violated the law.

Since you follow the law, then continue. If the family members of the offending officials should be sold, sell, and beheaded, then behead them. I will not rashly violate the laws. I also hope that you can keep this intention, be cautious as an official, and be cautious as a person. "

Yun Chu cupped his hands again and said, "Your Majesty's teachings, I will keep them in mind." After speaking, he wiped the corners of his eyes with his sleeves. Under Jiang Mo's urging, Yun Chu burst into tears.

Li Zhi was very satisfied with Yun Chu's reaction, so he specially rewarded Yun Chu with the fisherman he stole from the small water landscape in Jinchangfang.

Li Hong, who was very young, put his feet up and held up a handkerchief to wipe away the tears that kept flowing down for Yun Chu.

Li Zhi looked at Yun Chu, who was squatting down to accept Li Hong's tears, and sighed: "Don't forget the favor you received today!"

Yun Chu was indescribably grateful. Although Li Hong had wiped his tears, it might be because the ginger got into his eyes, causing his tears to still flow down endlessly, until under Wu Mei's contemptuous eyes, the water from the ditch He rubbed his eyes hard, and then he stopped being moved by the emperor's favor.

After the dispute just now, the communication between the red-eyed Yun Chu and Li Zhi became smoother.

Yun Chu has put a lot of effort into every plant and tree in Jinchangfang. Therefore, no matter what Li Zhi asks about anything, he can explain it clearly and clearly. With this kind of performance, Wu Mei's eyes are filled with contempt. Only then gradually dissipated.

When he came to visit the cafeteria, even Li Zhi was shocked and speechless by the nearly two hundred dishes displayed in the cafeteria.

A few people arrived at the noodle stall first. Li Zhi looked at the more than twenty dishes of noodles in front of him and asked Yun Chu.

"Are these pasta?"

Although it was nonsense, Yunchu still pointed to the nearest bowl of noodles and told the emperor about its preparation, taste, production cost, and even selling price.

After some calculations by the two of them, Li Zhi was very satisfied with the profit of only one and a half copper coins for a bowl of noodles.

"So, with such a huge canteen, even if it works all day long, the profit will be very little."

Yunchu said with a smile: "Your Majesty does not know, the reason why the price of this bowl of noodles is so low is to allow poor people to come to Jinchangfang to eat a bowl of noodles. Eating a bowl of noodles at a large restaurant in an environment like Changfang is a very important thing.

When you return to your hometown, you can brag to your neighbors for a long time.

However, for a rich man, how can such a bowl of noodles be worthy of his status, so..."

Yun Chu brought a bowl of beef brisket, a bowl of braised mutton, a portion of red-roasted braised pork, and a bowl of pork meatballs from the steamed vegetable area.

When a bowl of noodles was placed with these four dishes, Yun Chu pointed at the bowl of noodles again and said, "At this time, the price of this bowl of noodles has more than tripled."

Li Zhi frowned and thought for a while and said: "You mean, this bowl of noodles costs the same price, which is only three cents. If you put it together with these dumplings, it becomes ten cents?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "There is no wiser person than your Majesty. People with little money will find it a good deal to eat a bowl of noodles for three pennies.

A rich man who eats these four kinds of noodles together, and if this bowl of noodles costs only three pennies, is likely to look down on him.

Not only did the guest not appreciate it, he also thought that the bowl of noodles was worthless and lowered his status. "

"Hahahaha..." Li Zhi burst into violent laughter.

Although Yunchu knew where the joke was in this paragraph, he was still a little baffled by Li Zhi's exaggerated smile. But everyone around him, including Wu Mei, was laughing, so he had no choice but to grin along in embarrassment. .

Li Hong, who had always kept a straight face, saw Yun Chu smiling, so he opened his mouth and laughed. With this smile, Yun Chu suddenly realized that this child was really good-looking.

In fact, this is nonsense. Emperor Taizong and Queen Wende, these two people are recognized by the Tang Dynasty as the dragon and phoenix.

Although Li Zhi is more frail in appearance, but his facial features are a bit frail, he is also very handsome. As for Wu Mei, even with a big belly, she is the most beautiful pregnant woman Yun Chu has ever seen. If the child born from such a person is not good-looking, It was a ghost.

At first, Yun Chu really didn't want to pay attention to this child who died of a sudden illness in his twenties.

The more emotions you pour into this child at this time, the sadder you will be when this child dies in the future.

If you don’t want to be sad, don’t have too much contact with it from the beginning.

"Yes, yes, this is how business should be done. Make little or no money from the weak, and make more profits from the rich and luxurious. Only this kind of business will be happy.

It's a pity that many people in this world do business in the wrong way. They take more profits from the weak, but take less or no profits from the strong. It's really ridiculous, ridiculous. "

Yunchu believed that Li Zhi's words came from the bottom of his heart.

Sitting in his position, to be honest, his interests are consistent with the interests of ordinary people.

When the country is peaceful and the people are healthy, he, as the emperor, should be free and at ease. If the country is at war and the people rise up, he, the emperor, will be the one who suffers the most.

After seeing more than two hundred delicacies, Li Zhi had no intention of tasting them. On the contrary, the strong man behind him, who was as strong as a bear, ate all the way.

However, this bastard never refused to eat properly one piece after another. Instead, he took the chopsticks and tasted the long table full of food one by one. No matter whether it was what he liked or not, he wanted to eat it. Take a bite with chopsticks and taste it.

After Li Zhi finished appreciating these dishes, he couldn't help but exclaimed: "Is this the long table banquet that your Jinchangfang is famous for?"

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Exactly."

Li Zhi added: "The people treat each other with such a feast, and the soldiers will have no regrets even if they fight hard."
