Sheng Shi Merciful Light

When the King of Chu showed his "miracle", the first thing people thought was not fear, not to capture and burn the King of Chu to death, but to think of a legend - the King of Chu is "Ziwei Xing descended to earth, and blessed me for thousands of years."

Everyone looked at each other... I was dizzy, this couldn't be true, could it?play with us?

Mu Zun's soul flew away, but he was not frightened, but too surprised... There were not many people in the hall who were stronger than him, and they were all stunned on the spot, with a huge shock.Those who were hostile to Mu Ci felt terrified; those who maintained good intentions only shouted in their hearts, "That's true"—the King of Chu has always been a god-man, and now it's just a proof.

What's more, Wang Youlun's relatives and relatives were excited and joyful in awe; Mu Ruosong was even more excited, showing a relaxed, adoring smile with a little pampering.

King Ding was well-informed, calmed down a little, and forcibly suppressed the little bit of regret in his heart.

What strange things did King Qinghe not see in his travels around the world?She has the strongest ability to accept, and she likes Mu Ci even more - she can rely on her appearance for a living, but she still depends on her IQ.Obviously, he can dominate one side with a single turn of the hand, but he must be honest and law-abiding, and uphold the righteousness of the family and the country.

No matter how agitated everyone's hearts are, it is complicated and unspeakable.Mu Ci fried the migratory locusts in an orderly manner, took them out, put them on a plate, and sprinkled some fine salt.Go to cook other insects.He didn't show his magical skills again, as if the cool move just now was just everyone's illusion.

Everyone also noticed that Mu Ci handled the ingredients, washed and cut vegetables, and fried and cooked very skillfully, like a family cook who circles around the stove every day.He is focused on everything he does, coupled with his extreme beauty and flowing movements... This picture is extremely eye-catching, and smelling the fragrance, one can feel a kind of warm happiness.

Gentlemen stay away from the kitchen, but the men sitting here now feel that it is a kind of enjoyment to be able to cook delicious food for their loved ones.

Everyone looked at Mu Ci and gradually became intoxicated, forgetting the passage of time.

Mu Ci also re-boiled the fresh mushroom soup, and asked the guards from Tianziying to come over, but saw a few servants kneeling on the ground prostrating him as if they were gods. He said lightly, "Get up, I don't like kneeling."

Those people stood up with humble expressions and awe-filled eyes.

Since Mu Ci showed his spiritual skills in public, he didn't care about all kinds of gazes, so he ordered a few Tianzi Battalion soldiers to divide the food into several portions, and served them to everyone present.

Mu Ci skillfully beat the eggs again, cut the shallots, and fried a few scallion omelets in a flat iron pan before putting down her sleeves, and walking back to the king chair with three plates of golden savory omelettes on the tray, and sat down. Keep one plate for yourself, and push the two plates of omelets to the emperor.

Mu Zhan stared blankly at the golden egg cake, at the worm soup, and then at Mu Ci...

Mu Ci said: "Give one to sister-in-law!"

Mu Xun was a little bit pained, and he was very reluctant to hand over a plate of omelets cooked by his younger brother to Queen Mei.

Empress Mei looked at Mu Zhan's expression, and she didn't know how much effort she had to hold back her smile, and said: "Jun's family, the ministers and concubines have a small appetite, and they can't eat so much. Dare to ask Jun's family to help eat, so as not to waste."

Mu Zan couldn't wait, so he quickly dragged the plate of omelette back, and smiled appreciatively at Queen Mei.

Concubine Xie went crazy, she didn't have any food in front of her, and even Empress Mei didn't bother to ask her for food.Just because it was cooked by the King of Chu himself, and she could not be overthrown on the spot, it would be embarrassing and it would not end well!

Mu Ci ate the egg pancake first, and seeing that no one was moving, she looked around and said calmly, "Everything that happened in the hall today is the top secret of the state, remember it!"

This reaffirmation, which was neither too high nor too low, carried boundless prestige, everyone listened to it, and nodded sincerely without feeling overwhelmed by the momentum.Even Concubine Xie couldn't give birth to the slightest desire to obey the yang and the yin to disobey.

This non-human, whether it is a god or a demon, it is best not to offend him, and it is best not to talk about some non-human performances.

Mu Zhan took the chopsticks to eat, and Concubine Xie whispered: "The Jun family... didn't test poison!" Concubine Xie was full of awe and fear, and looked at Mu Ci cautiously, for fear that he would turn into a demon and pounce on him next.

Mu Zhan ignored her and ate the omelette. The soft texture and the delicious taste that exploded on the tip of the tongue made people feel so happy that they wanted to cry... How feasible is it to keep the ninth brother in the palace to make omelets every day?

I want to cry!

Mu Ci slowly ate omelets to replenish the exhaustion of his body, and only then picked up a migratory locust...

Now Mu Ci's every move is the focus of everyone's attention. Everyone watched his extremely beautiful mouth slightly open, and he stuffed a fried locust into his mouth calmly, then chewed gracefully, nodded slightly and commented: "God!" The worm tastes good, crispy and tender."

The term "god worm", from the mouth of a real god man, is full of irony no matter how it sounds.

Mu Ci put other fried insects into his mouth, and then greeted Mou Yu: "Brother, your favorite food, do you want to try it? My handicraft!"

Mou Yu was not polite, and directly took the chopsticks from Mu Ci's hand to pick up the worms and ate them, and then showed admiration: "Your cooking is better than Qin Shan's..." He ate another one, and praised, "It's very delicious."

Mu Ci directly stuffed him with a plate: "I can control the heat better, if you like it, I will cook it for you a few more times when I have time in the future."

Mou Yu healed instantly because of the wounded little heart that didn't eat the egg pancake.

Mu Zhan stared at Mou Yu a few times, all kinds of envy and hatred.

Mu Ci took another sip of the soup, and said to everyone in the hall: "Try it all! I've eaten it, and it's not poisonous." Looking at the sky again, she calmly said, "I haven't seen lightning strike me either."

Everyone: "..." Do you know that you are satirizing us ignorant humans?

Mu Ruosong took the chopsticks without hesitation, picked up several of them, ate them silently, and silently expressed his support with actions.

King Ding didn't stop him, and picked up the chopsticks himself.

Then King Qinghe took one, put it in his mouth, chewed it for a couple of bites, then said with bright eyes: "It tastes really good," and then took a few more bites, and greeted everyone, "Try it all, it's meaty, but it's more fragrant than meat. More crispy and delicious."

At the end of Wei, Bai Lin naturally expressed his support, King Huainan followed, King Zhong also ate, Fang Shanwu, and Yang Nanling also moved their chopsticks... Finally, even Wang Youlun, who is afraid of insects, gritted his teeth and drank the soup, saying that it tasted really good.

Mu Zhan quickly ate up all the egg pancakes in fresh insect soup in front of him, and Empress Mei was very "refreshing" to share the food on her plate with the emperor.

King Huainan dared to approach him and asked Mu Ci how the spring worm did it.Mu Ci didn't hide his secrets, and said, "Qin Shan is well-raised, I'll ask him to make a recipe, everyone can try it."

So the topic turned to cooking for some reason... A lot of people who had never been in the kitchen discussed cooking, as if everything was so normal, and everyone's psychological endurance suddenly improved several levels.

King Ding: "..." He was thinking that Prince Xian should be brought in too, since he and the King of Chu were so sympathetic.

It was King Zhong who resolutely turned the off topic back, and asked, "Ninth Brother, are you blowing up these insects to deal with the coming insect disaster?"

Everyone looked at Mu Ci.

Oops, I almost forgot the serious things, everyone thought: That is to say, what the king of Chu did, even the smallest things must have great profound meaning.

Mu Ci nodded appreciatively to King Zhong, "Sixth brother is right. The reason why I let third brother eat insects is to deal with the pests. I submitted the memorial of 'There will be insects after a warm winter', everyone knows."

Everyone nodded, the memorial submitted by the king of Chu was at odds with the mainstream three views, and the locusts were originally attributed to the wrath of God... Well, now the king of Chu uses actions (even more absurd "miracles") to tell everyone that it is nonsense talk.Only because the winter is relatively warm and the eggs are not frozen to death, the pests are rampant.

In ancient times, when superstition and science confronted each other, superstition came first.Mu Ci deliberately showed her skills and broke the superstition, although it seemed... to make everyone more superstitious.However, Mu Ci did not explain that it was only the ability of human beings after their potential was stimulated. He only hoped to achieve his goal quickly, and the pest plague could not be delayed any longer.

Mu Ci said: "I am worried that the people will be plagued by insects this year, and there will be a famine due to the reduction in food production. This is a nationwide disaster. The Changping warehouse set up by the imperial court will definitely not be able to support it. When the time comes, the people will starve and it will easily lead to turmoil in the country."

Zhao Jiu immediately asked: "Can Your Highness be sure that there will be a disaster this year?"

Mu Zhan said: "It has been confirmed, I sent Uncle Qinghe Wang to visit the place unannounced." Looking at King Qinghe.

Qinghe Wang said: "Yes, farmers in many places have confirmed that there are many more insects this year than in previous years."

All the civil and military ministers looked dignified.

Mu Zun asked Mu Ci: "Has the ninth brother figured out a way to break it?"

Mu Ci nodded, pointed to the empty plates, and said, "The method is very simple, eat them."

"Eat it?"

Mu Ci nodded: "Since bugs make the people hungry, let the people eat them. In this way, the people will be full, and the pests will decrease day by day."

Mu Ci has never doubted the huge potential of the Chinese nation in terms of food, just like Huaguo is a big foodie country, except for airplanes in the sky, and cars on the ground, there is nothing that dare not talk about it.Once a certain species is accidentally born fresh and delicious, it can directly eat the unlucky one to extinction.

Exterminator, it's just a matter of opening your mouth.

All the civil and military discussed it, and felt that although the method of "eating" was unheard of before, it was still a way.

Wang Youlun came from a poor family, so he immediately pointed out one of the problems: "How to mobilize the people to catch and eat insects?" Even if the people in the hall were relieved to eat migratory locusts because of Mu Ci's "miracle", Mu Ci could not be allowed to go to the whole country Are you touring?

Mu Ci said: "This method has never been used before, so not only mobilize the people to catch insects, but also many practical problems need to be solved urgently. First, let's talk about how to mobilize the people."

Mu Zhan nodded: "How to do it?"

Mu Ci looked at him very seriously, and said: "Third brother must take the lead and lead by example. Third brother and his sister-in-law can hold an insect-eating ceremony. Third brother is the son of heaven and the spokesperson of heaven in the world. Insectivorous."

Mu Zan and Queen Mei nodded in agreement.

Mu Ci said again: "In addition, the common people have no oil, but the taste of cooking insects is very bad. I suggest that the government take the lead, mobilize the gentry and wealthy households to help, and set up a few oil pans in every township or even at the entrance of the village. Distribute oil products, fry day and night, and make delicious food from the bugs caught by the people."

Lu Dingguo is the Minister of the Ministry of Household Affairs, thinking that anyway, if he is plagued by insects, he must provide relief. It is cheaper and more beneficial to do so.However, he hurriedly raised a question: "Your Highness, although the method is good, the imperial court doesn't have so much money."

"Yes!" Mu Ci said, "Nanzhi country has a kind of oil palm tree, and the palm oil produced is edible. I sent people to contact Nanzhi country during the process of cracking down on smuggling. The imperial court can buy it from Nanzhi country, and then sent everywhere."

This is good, but it solves a big problem and opens up a new trade route.

Mu Ci said to Lu Dingguo again: "Besides, let me teach you, I have already made an agreement with Nanzhi Kingdom that no real money is needed for purchases, but only need to write down the account, and the same amount of silk, tea, porcelain, etc. Items needed by the country can be deducted from the fuel payment."

Lu Dingguo was still calculating the expenditure of the national treasury, when the old face with dried orange peel heard this, he immediately stretched out and responded happily.This not only solved the problem of oil products, but also opened up a market for domestic silk tea.

Everyone calmed down and watched with great interest the King of Chu strategizing and guiding the country, how "sour and refreshing" it was.

Zhu Xi came out to raise objections. He was not making trouble, but he was more entangled and worried. He asked, "What if the people still refuse to eat insects?"

Mu Ci said to the servant: "Bring up the salt jar!"

The waiter brought it over, and Mu Ci picked out a spoonful of salt, sprinkled it on the empty plate, and said, "A plate of deep-fried insects will be poured with such a spoonful of salt. If you still don't eat insects, then... pour another spoonful, The people will flock to it, and the wind of eating insects will be rampant.”

People from rich and noble families are stunned... Is this okay?

Those who were born in poverty are crying all the time... This is really possible!

Wei Zhong and Wang Youlun, who came from such a miserable background, really cried directly.

Your Highness, friends of the poor, if we met such a good king when we were young... Wei Zhong thought that he would not be sold by his relatives, and eventually castrated into the palace.Wang Youlun thought that his own parents would not bother to leave early.

Salt!Salt!

Do you know how expensive official salt is?Ordinary people can't afford it, so they have to risk the felony of beheading to buy illegal salt, but how bad is illegal salt, do you know?

Even if the common people don't eat insects, they will definitely go up and down the mountain to catch insects for these two spoonfuls of free official salt.

Lu Dingguo wiped his sweat furiously: "Your Highness, this salt...is too much, I'm afraid the salt farm won't be able to supply it."

Mu Ci calmly said: "It doesn't matter. I have salt in my fief. The quality is purer and more delicious than the snowflake salt used in the palace. It can be sold to the imperial court. The large quantity is still a wholesale price." Mu Ci quoted an extremely low price, which was insufficient The price of the official salt is one-tenth of the price, which is equivalent to a free gift.

Mu Zhan burst into tears. For the sake of his image, the emperor hugged his younger brother regardless of his image, hugged him tightly, buried his head in his neck, and wept uncontrollably...

——Ninth brother, it turns out that in order to solve the country's problems and help me, the emperor, you not only tried eating pests yourself, but also made so many preparations and... sacrifices.

Selling salt at a free price is not a sacrifice?

Someone in the palace actually wants to hurt such a good you with conspiracy and tricks, it's really heartbreaking.
