God-level Consort of the Tang Dynasty

Li Er was amused, and asked: "What you call benefiting the people is to catch pigs with great fanfare, and catch all the wild animals around Hu County? Is it that the whole city arrests people to raise pigs? That's it." Do you use coercive means to force everyone to eat pork?"

"Yes, Du He, you keep saying that you are worthy of His Majesty's trust, but His Majesty tells you not to mess around. Look at what you are doing? If you don't say anything else, just say that you eat pork, and there will be an uproar, and the city will be full of wind and rain. , Even Chang'an was affected, you still have the nerve to say that you are not messing around, and you still say that you are benefiting the people?" Gao Shilian, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, seized the opportunity and issued a series of rhetorical questions to Du He.

Du He was not happy, turned his head, looked at Gao Shilian, and said, "May I ask Mr. Gao, why is there such a commotion about eating pork?"

Gao Shilian sneered and said, "The Book of Discussing Pork written by Chen Tian, ​​a great Confucian in Hu County, has spread all over Chang'an, and many people are discussing it. Doesn't that count?"

"Many people? Who are they referring to?" Du He asked rhetorically.

Gao Shilian flicked his sleeves: "Of course there are many people, do you want me to point them out for you one by one?"

"wrong!"

Duhe said loudly.

Ok?

Everyone was stunned.

But seeing Du He pointing at Gao Shilian, the machine said impolitely: "Master Gao, you are wrong, very wrong."

……

Chapter 769 Defeat

What?

Gao Shilian was taken aback.

He thought he was well-founded and rigorous, but it was really unreasonable for Du He to accuse him of being wrong so openly.

Gao Shilian said angrily: "Du He, don't make groundless accusations. You say the old man is wrong, but tell me, where is the old man wrong?"

Du He smiled faintly and asked: "Master Gao, you just said that there are many people discussing the "Book of Discussing Pork", so I would like to ask you, do you know how many people there are in Hu County?"

"This... the old man is naturally not an official of Hu County, how would he know?"

"Then let me tell you that there are 15 people in the entire Hu County, a total of 620 five households. Now, less than a thousand people are interested in this "Book of Begging for Pork", and they follow Chen Tian wholeheartedly." There are less than a hundred people who object to eating pork... The rest of the people are either not interested in it, or have already eaten pork from the pig farm, if you don't believe me, take a look, this is the list of pork sold today!"

After Du He finished speaking, he handed a piece of paper to Gao Shilian.

Gao Shilian took it over and took a look, and saw that it was clearly written on the list that today alone, thirty pigs were sold, totaling five thousand catties of pork. The number of people who bought pork reached more than 3000, and many people almost smashed the shops selling pork because they did not buy pork.

Among other things, Chen Tian waited for less than a hundred people. Compared with the more than 3000 people, there was a huge gap in the number.

Gao Shilian's face was a little uneasy, he hesitated and said: "This doesn't explain anything. Chen Tian is a well-known Confucian in Hu County. He opposes eating pork. Naturally, many people follow him. There will definitely be no end to the trouble."

"Hahaha, Mr. Gao, I have already thought of what you said. Therefore, I have made an appointment with Chen Tian to debate outside the county office tomorrow. The so-called truth will become clearer and clearer. If Chen Tian really wins, I will not bother Mr. Gao." Don't worry, I, Du He, will close the pig farm and never mention the word pork again, but if Chen Tian can't even argue with my unfilial student, how dare he call himself a great Confucian? It can only prove that he is a bluffing liar That's all." Du He said indifferently.

Gao Shilian flicked his sleeves: "Okay, I will wait and see."

Seeing this, Li Er waved his hands and said: "You two gentlemen, don't quarrel anymore, the debate will be tomorrow, tomorrow will be resolved, Du He, I have something to ask you, has your pig-hunting team left the city today? "

Du He shook his head hastily: "Your Majesty, this pig catching brigade was founded by His Royal Highness the King of Shu. He usually has a superior status in Huxian County. Even a minister can't command them. For this matter, His Highness Wen should be the one."

The corner of Li Ke's mouth twitched.

Why does it feel like the teacher is a little tricky?

He hurriedly said: "Father, today, the pig-catching brigade has indeed left the city."

"Hmph," Li Er snorted coldly, "Hurry up and go back, and ask the pig catching brigade if they caught someone who shouldn't be caught. If you can't do it well, I can't spare you."

Of course, Li Er was ashamed to say that his imperial guards were all arrested by the pig catching brigade. The majestic guards of the imperial city couldn't beat a bunch of pig catchers. He couldn't afford to lose this man!

Li Ke hurriedly replied: "Yes, father."

"Okay, you two get out!" Li Er said, glaring at Li Ke and Du He.

As soon as Du He turned around, he disappeared in a flash. Seeing this, Li Ke hurriedly followed.

After the two of them left, Li Ercai asked: "My dear friends, what do you think of tomorrow's debate?"

Gao Shilian said: "Your Majesty, I think it's just a joke. Since ancient times, this debate has been carried out between great Confucianists and hermits. I have never heard of two ignorant bastards talking to each other. One side of the Confucian debate, the minister said this, not to belittle Changsun Hongcong and Dai Jinyun, in fact, the reputation of these two people in Beijing has always been bad, and the reputation in the Imperial College is even worse, just say Dai Jinyun, the minister listened to Master Kong Remember, this guy doesn't even understand the Analects of Confucius completely, so I don't like tomorrow's debate."

Changsun Wuji sighed helplessly: "Changsun Hongcong is my nephew, although I don't like others to belittle him, but this son has been watched by me since I was a child. If you want to say that he bullies men and women and ostentatiously walks through the market, isn't it? There are some points, but if you talk about reading and debating, I'm afraid it will only add to the jokes."

Dai Zhou, Minister of the Ministry of Civil Affairs, said: "Your Majesty, I think Master Gao is right. There have been conclusions about the right and wrong of pork since the Han Dynasty. Even the current king of medicine has said that eating too much pork will make people sick. Now Du He wants to promote pork, which is too difficult. As for tomorrow's debate, I feel that Du He's side will probably lose miserably. I'm afraid it will be very embarrassing for a nephew who is incompetent to step out!"

Chen Shuda said: "Your Majesty, this matter has actually been settled a long time ago. The reason is that Du He knew early on that there was no chance of winning, so he just didn't bother to come forward and asked Dai Jinyun and Chang Sun Hong to debate with Chen Tian. Putting the blame on Changsun Hongcong and Dai Jinyun has nothing to do with him, Du He, what a trick!"

"what……"

"Duhe, you bastard!"

Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou scolded at the same time.

……

Late at night.

But in Huxian County, the lights are bright, and people are hurrying on the street.

During the day, the county town of Hu County looks deserted, but at night, it is very lively.

On the third day after Du He took office, he canceled the curfew system in Hu County.

In the evening, the Guancheng Brigade mobilized collectively, patrolling the streets, and the entire county was very safe.

People have gradually enjoyed this lively life.

As for why it is so lively at night, it is naturally because after dark, the construction site, pig farm, and farm workers on Anhu Avenue are off work. The most important thing for these guys is money. If they have money, they will naturally come to the county town hang out.

Changsun Wuji and Dai Zhou rode out of the city in a low-key manner, went straight to the pig farm, and soon came to the food research institute located in the pig farm.

Now there are more than 50 researchers.

The honorary dean Li Ke and the dean Du He seldom come to the Institute of Food Science and Technology. The entire institute is supported by Dai Jinyun alone. Do your best to help Dai Jinyun.

At this moment, the backyard of the research institute is full of people, more than 30 people.

There are more than a dozen torches around, illuminating the courtyard like daytime.

Dai Zhou and Changsun Wuji walked in, just in time to see Dai Jinyun standing on the stage, and said impassionedly: "Everyone buys pork for five cents a catty these days. If you don't follow the stewing method for this kind of pork, If you cook it, there will be a strange smell, which will make people feel nauseous. This is the main reason why many people don't like to eat pork, but now the county government has invented Dongpo stewed meat, as long as everyone follows the method I just taught , will surely turn unpalatable pork into delicious pork..."

Crash.

There was thunderous applause.
