Li Shimin

"In this way, the village used up to 200 catties of peppers this time, and there are still more than [-] catties of peppers left. With so many peppers, after the opening of the six hot pot restaurants, they can supply them for a month or two, enough for those in the village. The peppers in the greenhouse have dried out!"

"But Your Majesty, His Majesty has never tasted hunger-strike food like hot pot, but let the householders and servants in the village eat first. Is it a bit..."

Li Chang looked worried again.

"Chili and their own vegetables, as well as pigs and sheep, the ingredients used in these hot pots are all grown by the farmers themselves... Even the base ingredients of the hot pot are made by the chefs in the house. Let outsiders taste it first, but you can't eat it yourself?"

Li Xuan chuckled, and continued: "It's okay, you can eat normally tomorrow!"

"Yes, follow the orders of the king!"

Li Chang's expression quickly turned from worry to joy. After witnessing Li Xuan, Li Yuan and others eating hot pot, Li Chang wanted to eat hot pot more than any farmer or servant in the village.

This is, as the chief executive of the king, he must think carefully for the king.

And at the same time.

As the king's order spread throughout the entire Jinwang Courtyard and Li Family Manor, all the farmers, servants, and personal guards were full of joy and anticipation.

Even Wang Ji, Zuo Gong, Lu Yuanshi, Gong Daoliang and other four great Confucian scholars trembled in their hearts.

The peerless delicacy that has been circulated in Chang'an City for more than three months, they are naturally not immune.

All afternoon, the entire Lijiazhuang was busy preparing the same ingredients, base, and dipping sauce for the hot pot.

And it snowed all night.

……

the next day.

After breakfast, Li Xuan was just about to ask Li Chang how the hot pot was prepared.

Just seeing Li Chang walk in hastily, he bowed his hands to Li Xuan.

"Your Majesty, forgive me, but this old servant actually neglected one thing, so as to delay the great matter of your Majesty!"

"What's the matter?"

Li Xuan was a little puzzled.

"My lord, yesterday my old servant was only thinking about preparing hot pot ingredients, base, and dipping sauce, but he forgot that there are not enough special iron pots for hot pot in the village!" Li Chang said with a face full of shame.

"So that's what happened!"

Hearing this, Li Xuan couldn't help but chuckled, "It's a trivial matter!"

"Small thing?"

Hearing this, Li Chang was overjoyed, and then his face was full of doubts.

"Your Majesty, the old servant made such a big mistake, yet you only talked about trivial matters?"

"It's the little things!"

Li Xuan sneered and said, "Housekeeper, you are pedantic. Yesterday you saw how my king eats hot pot. The most important thing about hot pot is the base and ingredients. As for the pot, every household in the village has iron pots and pots for daily meals. Steel pots, let them put the hot pot ingredients into their own pots, and then you take the chefs and teach them how to eat!"

Hearing this, Li Chang's eyes lit up immediately.

"Your Majesty Yingming!"

"Well, pay attention again, when letting them eat hot pot, they must use smokeless charcoal!"

Li Xuan ordered again.

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Chang quickly responded.

Afterwards, Li Chang reported some things to Li Xuan again, and withdrew.

Start notifying all dealers!

Immediately afterwards, the entire Lijiazhuang and the entire Zhuangzi began to prepare in full swing.

Taiji Palace, Liangyi Hall.

"Your Majesty, this is a wonderful move!"

After Li Shimin told Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others about the expansion of schools in all states and counties across the country, and the first recruitment of students with deceptive qualifications.

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, Du Ruhui and others all had bright eyes.

Chapter 776

"Your Majesty, we are taking advantage of the past two years, when the aristocratic families of various prefectures are busy with the affairs of the various feudal states around the Tang Dynasty, and we can take the qualifications of the entire Tang prefectures and counties into the imperial court!

In this way, after a few years, these aristocratic families no longer have the ability to intervene in the affairs of students in various states and counties! "

"Exactly, Your Majesty, this move can be handed over to the Ministry of Officials!"

"Your Majesty, the Ministry of Rites happens to be free during this time, and it can also be responsible for this matter!"

As the prime minister of the Tang Dynasty, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others immediately understood the benefits of distributing funding funds to schools in various states and counties without Li Shimin's detailed explanation.

"It's just that your Majesty, there is a shortage of officials in the Tang Dynasty. If we send famous teachers, professors, and scholars to the counties and states of the Tang Dynasty, I am afraid that the Ministry of Officials will not be able to select so many famous teachers in a short time!"

As he said that, Changsun Wuji looked worried again.

This matter is exactly what Li Shimin has been hesitating about!

However, before Li Shimin could speak, he saw Li Wei walking in with a panicked expression, leaned in front of Li Shimin, and whispered.

"what?"

After Li Wei finished speaking, Li Shimin's expression changed, and he hurriedly asked: "I remember a few days ago, the Taishang Emperor was still in good health, how could he be so suddenly?

You can send someone to investigate clearly, what is the reason? "

When it came to the Supreme Emperor, Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others all stood quietly and looked at Li Wei, not daring to say more.

As for Li Wei, he replied with a strange expression: "Reporting to Your Majesty, the villain found out that the Supreme Emperor went to Lijiazhuang yesterday.

And, I ate hot pot with King Jin in Lijiazhuang.

After returning, at night, my body began to feel a little uncomfortable! "

"Hot Pot?"

Hearing this, Li Shimin was startled.

"What is hot pot?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, hot pot seems to be the peerless delicacy His Royal Highness Jin said!"

After Li Wei finished speaking, Li Shimin, Changsun Wuji and others were taken aback.

Immediately, he looked closely at Li Wei, frowning slightly.

"The hot pot is the peerless delicacy that Xuanba said? But, since it is a peerless delicacy, how could the Supreme Emperor feel so unwell after eating it?"

"Reporting to Your Majesty, according to what Wang Fengyu said, it should be that peppers and oily water are eaten more..."

Li Wei hurriedly said in a low voice.

"I see!"

Li Shimin understood somewhat, and subconsciously nodded slightly.

"However, Xuan Ba ​​invited the Supreme Emperor to eat delicious food instead of calling me, he really has a bit of a reputation!"

Li Wei, Changsun Wuji and others all lowered their heads and chuckled quietly.

"No!"

Suddenly, thinking of something, Li Shimin stood up directly, "Since you can eat such a peerless delicacy, how can you delay?"

"Let's go, Li Wei, follow me out of the palace, to Li's Village!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei quickly responded.

Hearing this, Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling and others on the side, without waiting for Li Shimin to greet, went out in a hurry and began to prepare to change clothes.

After half an hour.

A large four-wheeled carriage stopped at the gate of Lijiazhuang.

"Li Wei, what happened?"

Li Shimin asked through the glass.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, there are no personal guards outside the gate of the villa!"

Li Wei replied.

"Unguarded?"

Li Shimin was startled, and walked out of the carriage with a curious expression on his face.

Sure enough, the two wide gates of Lijiazhuang were closed tightly, and even if the two guards knocked on the door, no one would pay attention!

Seeing this, Li Shimin's heart tightened. Could it be that something happened to Lijiazhuang?

"Li Wei, quickly lead someone up to the gate to see if there is anyone in the village?"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei quickly responded.

"Ok?"

"Sniff..."

Suddenly, with a gust of wind blowing, Li Shimin and Fang Xuanling, Changsun Wuji and others beside him could not help sniffing their noses quickly subconsciously.

"Auxiliary machine, do you smell a strange fragrance?"

"Your Majesty, did you smell it too?"

"Your Majesty, the old minister also heard it!"

Changsun Wuji, Fang Xuanling, and Du Ruhui all looked intoxicated.

At this time, Li Wei had already climbed up to the gate of Lijiazhuang surrounded by several guards.

Seeing the scene in Lijiazhuang, the whole person was shocked.

"Your Majesty, Jinwang Manor is very quiet and there is no one there!"

"what?"

Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and the others immediately ignored the scent and looked solemn.

"Li Wei, quickly turn over and open the door, I want to go in and have a look!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Li Wei also sensed that something was wrong, jumped into the gate with a bang, and opened the gate from inside.

"Your Majesty, the situation inside is unknown. You should guard outside first, and then you will take a team of imperial guards to investigate!"

As he spoke, Li Wei suddenly felt something was wrong.

Looking up, he found that Li Shimin, Fang Xuanling and others, as well as a group of guards, were all staring behind him with strange faces.

Li Wei was startled, and quickly turned his head slowly.

Ok?

Immediately, Li Wei was also shocked.

Behind him, a team of Prince Jin's personal guards appeared at some point, each of them staring at him with steel knives in their hands.

"The villain joins His Majesty!"

Seeing Li Shimin, these personal guards quickly retracted the steel knife in their hands into the scabbard, and bowed to Li Shimin.

"Get up!"

Li Shimin nodded slightly.

"This?……"

Li Wei's face was full of embarrassment, and there was also a trace of surprise.
