Datang: In order to be a salted fish, I decided to look forward to my father Jackie Chan

Chapter 3 Helping People's Livelihood and Punishing Corrupt Officials

Seeing the khaki palm-sized object on the ground, and then looking at several green and white objects nearby, Li Shimin was puzzled: "System, what... are these?"

"It's potatoes, green peppers, and cauliflower. If you're afraid that the Imperial Dining Room won't be able to cook them, you can find this system to buy a recipe. It's only 2 taels of silver."

Li Xiao said concisely.

"Okay! Here's a recipe!"

When Li Shimin got the recipe, he sent someone in, took all these to the imperial dining room, and made a few stir-fried dishes according to the recipe.

As for where it came from, he said it was a gift from God.

Not long after, someone from the palace came in with cooked dishes.

The fragrant cooking greatly increased his appetite, and he took a deep breath: "It smells delicious!"

Li Shimin couldn't wait to ask the palace servants to serve him vegetables.

He picked up the chopsticks and took a piece of fried meat from the bowl into his mouth.

He was amazed by the tender and delicious pork.

"Is this pork?" Li Shimin looked at the dishes in front of him in disbelief.

"My lord, this is indeed made by the imperial dining room with ingredients bestowed by heaven."

Xiao Lizi said respectfully.

I was shocked.

Are these really God-given?

Li Shimin tasted the stewed pork with potatoes again.

The braised pork is tender and refreshing.

The potatoes are silky and fine, and there is a taste of broth, which makes Li Shimin feel addicted.

There are also fried pork with green peppers, fried pork with cauliflower, twice-cooked pork...

Every recipe brought surprises to Li Shimin!

If it wasn't for Xiao Lizi's reminder, he almost forgot the rule of eating each dish up to three times.

Seeing this, Li Xiao felt that Li Shimin was a little pitiful.

Being an emperor is miserable enough, in order not to let others know his preferences, no matter how much he likes to eat, he can eat up to three times.

But that's okay, some emperors eat a dish twice at most, and it's a very small spoonful.

"The taste is good. It would be great if ordinary people could afford it. There is also an iron pot. If this iron can be used to make weapons, it would be a wonderful thing."

Li Shimin couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Ordinary people may not spend 500 Wen a month, but a catty of pork costs such a high price, he can afford it, but what about those ordinary people?
At this time, Li Shimin was thinking about the lives of the people.

This was also expected by Li Xiao.

"It's simple, don't you just want pork? Don't you just raise pigs?"

Li Xiao said so on purpose.

Li Er, Li Er, just obediently pay for it!
"You don't know the system, pigs are very difficult to raise, and the pork is very unpalatable, not as delicious as the pork provided by the system."

Li Shimin finally knew why Li Xiao recommended these three things.

Especially pork, it was the first time he knew that pork could be so delicious.

Li Xiaoyou said: "It's simple, the host, as long as you learn how to fan the pigs. The fanned pigs are easier to raise, they are easy to raise, and they are very fat, and the meat is delicious. The pork given by this system is the fanned pigs."

"It's wonderful, how can the system incite pigs?" Li Shimin admired the system very much.

"As long as 5000 taels, this system can give you the technique of fanning pigs. This technique is easy to learn, and it can be promoted throughout the Tang Dynasty and benefit the people."

Li Xiao continued to lobby.

"5000 taels... can it be cheaper." Li Shimin took a deep breath.

Datang's treasury was empty, and it was a waste of money to take out 5000 taels all of a sudden, and it was just for a technology of inciting pigs.

"It's not cheap. If you think it's expensive, this system will be unbound from you. Go to Tupan and Goguryeo to have a look. I think someone is willing to buy it. At that time, this system will be their system."

"No, it's not expensive! I'll buy it!" Li Shimin said quickly.

He also tasted the sweetness of the system.

If such a powerful system falls into the hands of others, it will definitely be his own loss.

If it is in the hands of khans and emperors of other countries, it will be a loss for Datang.

Expensive is expensive, as long as it benefits Datang!
He wants to spread the pig-inciting technique to the entire Tang Dynasty!

"It's just that the treasury has lost so much silver, how can I explain it?"

Li Shimin said with some worry.

Although this is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, he feels very uncomfortable when he thinks that these silver taels come from the treasury.

He knows too well how he got his throne.

It is precisely because of this that even though he is conscientious and diligent in serving the people, he is often criticized by others.

"It's not easy. If you don't tell me, who knows that you did it." Li Xiao said, and had an idea in a flash: "As for the lack of money, Datang is not easy to manage, won't you clean up those corrupt officials?"

"A wave of home raids can not only clean up corrupt officials, but also enrich the treasury, and buy more good things that benefit the country and the people here in this system. Isn't that a good thing?"

What Li Xiao said about Li Shimin was very emotional.

But after thinking about it carefully, Li Shimin shook his head: "It's easy to say, but it's not so easy to deal with corrupt officials. I know a lot of corrupt officials, and I have doubts about some eunuchs, but it's hard to deal with without evidence! "

The floods in the south of the Yangtze River, he allocated so much relief money, but it was exploited layer by layer, and there was not much left in the hands of the people.

He also wanted to find out all the corrupt officials and ransack their homes to punish the nine clans.

but……

Difficult!

"Buy the list of corrupt officials, because you bought a lot of things from me, 500 taels, how about giving you a list of 100 corrupt officials, big and small?"

When asked this question, Li Xiao had already bought the list of corrupt officials.

"purchase!"

Li Shimin said without hesitation.

500 taels is not a small amount, but if you can buy a list of 100 corrupt officials, it is considered a great value for money!

Random ransacking of a few corrupt officials, 500 taels will get them back.

The system really wanted to give Li Xiao a thumbs up.

The list of corrupt officials was only 5 taels in the system mall, but Li Xiao sold Li Shimin 500 taels.

Black heart!
Li Shimin carefully looked at the list of corrupt officials.

Hundreds of words, like an invisible knife, harvested the lives of countless people.

How many people have been displaced and sold their wives and Dianzi.

"Unexpectedly, there are so many corrupt officials. It is because of their existence that the people of my Tang Dynasty are living in dire straits! The victims of the disaster are displaced!"

"I'm going to punish them, and let the people of Tang Dynasty live and work in peace and contentment!"

Li Shimin gritted his teeth and said with a livid face.
