Chef [Quick Transmigration]

Chapter 20: I Work as a Cook in a Brothel

The Dingbeihou's mansion held a funeral, death is the most important thing, and the rumors in Shangjing are much less. The old Dingbeihou's grave is in the Meng family's land in Shangjing. The day was rainy and cloudy, and Meng Jue fell ill when he came back. He invited the imperial doctor to see him. He only said that Hou Ye was getting old and sad, and he needed to be recuperated slowly.

The original plan to return to the border after the funeral had to be put on hold for now. It is already midsummer when everything is ready. This summer is hotter than ever. Meng Jue lost some energy due to a serious illness. Zhang Xiaobai had no objection to going back to the border, at least until autumn. In fact, he didn't want to see his grandfather go back to the border. Veteran generals like Meng Jue were no longer fit to lead troops.

Most of the generals available in the army are around 50 to [-] years old. Qin Ze is very dissatisfied, but young generals are not easy to cultivate. Didn't the aging veteran show his talent when he was young?No, it's just because the military system is corrupt, no matter how good the talents are, they have to wait for their seniority to be promoted.

Qin Ze himself became famous at a young age, and he prefers to use young people. Young people represent flexible minds and blood in their chests, and they are easy to use. Older talents are discounted no matter how easy they are. After working for a few years, their bodies will collapse. At the beginning, young people were used, trained for a few years, and then they sold their lives for him. What a bargain. The same applies to the army. Qin Ze plans to promote a group of young generals to power.

Qin Ze didn't understand at all what was going on in the mind of the 300-year-old king of Dachu. He had just founded the country, and the troubled times had just passed. The population was sparse, so he had to rest and recuperate. The national policy set was a temporary strategy. Once the treasury was sufficient, The population is increasing and there is enough strength. It is sure to attack and annex the surrounding foreign forces that are eyeing tigers. But 300 years have passed, and life is much better than when the country was founded. The foreign policy is still 300 years old. The pre-determined set.

No, it’s not as good as he was back then, when he sent the unwanted ex-dynasty concubine to get married, which was waste utilization, and even this alien race had to kneel to greet him, but now he sent the royal princess who was so charming and pampered to her door from thousands of miles away. Emperor Yongde sent two princesses as gifts.

It's really peaceful and prosperous.

Qin Ze is determined to rectify the military affairs, and the frontier army is the top priority. In the past, the imperial court did not pay attention to these, and more than half of the military funds allocated were used on those local Xiangjun, and formed an unspoken rule in the army. The soldiers in the eight counties and the soldiers in the four counties are all soldiers, and the military pay is divided into three, six, or nine grades. The most important thing is that the frontier soldiers suffer and suffer, and the dead in battle are paid the lowest grade. The six counties around Shangjing Located in the Central Plains, they get the most military pay.

This is not going to work. Qin Ze once again rejected all opinions. He has no objection to the division of military pay, but he thinks that the military pay of the frontier soldiers should be set at the first level. There is no one in this world who works the most and eats the least. , Still suffering from discrimination?

Although Meng Jue hadn't been in Beijing for a long time, his eyes and ears were considered sharp. Qin Ze's government order was quickly passed on to him, and Zhang Xiaobai also listened to it. Seeing the suffering of the frontier soldiers at the border was sad, just like seeing those women suffering in the brothel, it was equally unbearable, but there was nothing that could be done. However, Mr. Ziweixing has only been down to earth for five or six years, but he has already begun to change the world.

Although...he is a bit of a nonsense person.

Wenfenglou's "Choosing Concubine" is still very famous in Shangjing. Everyone has unworthy children. In the past, An Ansheng was just a dandy, but now the person in power does not like women, so these are useless What's wrong with my son going to touch Porcelain?Is it more noble to raise a daughter to enter the palace than to raise a son to a higher position?But no one expected that His Highness the Crown Prince would be so picky.

The youngest son of the Minister of the Ministry of Officials was young and pretty, the prince was not moved at all, but instead asked him, does your brother have any intentions?The young master turned pale on the spot, and shook his head again and again. The elder brother works in Dali Temple, and he is a senior official in the Sanpin Hall at the age of thirty. He is the hope of the whole family. the sun.

The prince left disappointed.

The Marquis of Liyang is old, the Marquis descended to the throne, the prince is handsome and handsome, unwilling to be just a low-ranking uncle, he generously recommended himself in Wenfeng Tower, the prince observed for a long time, suddenly became angry, said that the prince's family has wives and concubines, and ran out to recommend himself to the man , Despicable.

General Shanglin looks like a good girl, and she was spotted by the prince during the spring hunt. In order to protect the family, she had to endure the humiliation and agreed. When the prince saw tears on the general's face at bedtime, the prince was so impotent and furious that he threw the general and his bedding out of the palace.

In addition, there are dandies who are favored, those who are suddenly driven away when their clothes are half undressed, the guards almost go to bed, and those who immediately turn against a woman when asked about it, etc., etc., as time goes on, many people want to take shortcuts Finding this shortcut is even harder than going to heaven. The prince is not choosing a concubine, but a son-in-law.

Qin Ze is a very persevering person. Others think he is picky. He thinks that these people want to feed him shit. He is the king of a country, sitting in the mountains and rivers, young, handsome, and reasonable. What's wrong with wanting a suitable man?Is he demanding?It's nothing more than wanting a person who cultivates both internally and externally, stands upright, does not bow to fame and fortune, is not afraid of power, and pleases him.

Coming out of Wenfenglou, Qin Ze was not in a good mood. Now fewer and fewer people are willing to come to Wenfenglou to touch porcelain, and the quality is also declining, especially after he roughly figured out that he doesn't like soft and beautiful boys. The men in front of him were many more eight-foot or even nine-foot strong men, their clothes were bulging on their bodies, and they were full of tendon and flesh, which looked extraordinarily strong.

Qin Ze: ...the world is not worth it.

The group of people didn't go far, when the guard who was walking ahead to clear the way suddenly turned his head and looked at Qin Ze. Qin Ze was very clear about the eyes of these puppies, and immediately understood that they were the eyes of a good guy.

Sure enough, a young man dressed in white walked out of the small alley that turned into Chuchu Lane.

Da Chu Shangbai, there are many celebrities wearing white robes, and they look very elegant when they are in love with the mountains and rivers, so Qin Ze didn't think much about it, his eyes fell on the young man, and his heart skipped a beat.

Fair complexion, handsome appearance, tall stature, wide shoulders and narrow waist, one can tell at a glance that they are not comparable to those vain boys. The most important thing is the unspeakable settled temperament in his eyes. Qin Ze has also been on the battlefield. Knowing that this young man in white must not be a petite guest from the rich and gentle village of Shangjing, but a supreme sharp blade who has killed people and drank blood.

Different from the vulgar powder, this is the beauty of the famous sword, which is absolutely beautiful in the world.

When Zhang Xiaobai entered Chuchu Lane, he saw a few people dressed as guards coming out, and then he saw the prince Qin Ze who had a double-faced relationship a few years ago. Compared with the past, he is more mature and lazy, maybe just Because he came out of the waiter's hall, he looked at people with a bit of tenderness in his eyes. He had been in the border town for a long time in the past few years, and he was taken aback for a moment before realizing that he wanted to salute.

Before the little beauty knelt down, Qin Ze immediately stepped forward in three steps and two steps, and helped her up. This help was even more satisfying. The top of her hair just reached his lips, and she was quite suitable for hugging. height.

After helping him up, Qin Ze took a step back in a graceful manner, and asked in a gentle tone, "Looking at me strangely, whose family are you from?"

Just looking at Zhang Xiaobai's appearance and temperament, Qin Ze concluded that he couldn't be raised by an ordinary family, and he could be recognized at a glance, which is not a low family background.

Zhang Xiaobai realized that he knew Qin Ze, but Qin Ze didn't think of him, so he didn't mention the friendship between the two, and said respectfully: "His Royal Highness, the minister is Meng Bai from Dingbeihoufu."

Qin Ze didn't remember who Meng Bai was. He was stunned when he mentioned the Dingbeihou's Mansion, and said, "Is it the Dingbeihou's Mansion who asked for funeral leave?"

Guard: ...Your Highness's mouth has been poisoned, right?

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Xiaobai seemed to be facing a crisis. Zhang Xiaobai immediately remembered Meng Lian's deeds. her."

Qin Ze actually didn't want to express his opinion on this. Meng Lian did it because... Forget it, he couldn't remember who Meng Lian was. It was carved out, and now his mind and eyes are full of this young man, he is not in charge of business, and he only listened to the second half of his words, and suddenly became alert: "Visit her? Who are you visiting?"

Zhang Xiaobai gave Qin Ze a strange look, and said respectfully, "I'm here to visit my mother."

It was also at this time that Qin Ze remembered the story of Zhongyonghou and the official prostitute who had been on the hot search in the capital a few years ago, matched the name of the Ruyu boy in front of him with the boy who cooked delicious food in his memory, and immediately gasped. Take a breath.

A few years ago, if he knew that the child could grow up like this, he would have to take it back to the palace even if he was a fool!

Qin Ze was thinking about something in his heart, the smile on his face never faded, he walked back and forth in front of Zhang Xiaobai a few steps, and suddenly said: "I remember that you still owe Gu a meal, after a few years, you have improved your skills? "

This was not easy to answer, Zhang Xiaobai had no choice but to nod.

Qin Ze went back and forth, sat back in the elegant seat of Wenfeng Building, was in a good mood, and ordered people to sing and dance to cheer him up. He looked longingly at the Nexus Building next door, not forgetting to ask the guards around him to inquire about Zhang Xiaobai's situation in the past few years , but he has already made up his mind, not counting the previous life, he is also in his twenties, and seeing that he is in his third year, half of this life has passed, and he is about to die alone. It is rare to meet such a person who suits his heart. He already has wives, concubines, children, or sweethearts, and he doesn't want to miss them.

This is the man, I want him!
