Luo Shixing glanced at him, and said with a calm expression: "Of course this is not a tribute. The real tribute list has been handed over to the Ministry of Rites. These are some small gifts I brought to His Majesty. There are many specialties in Jiaozhou, but It’s not very lucky, this time I came here personally to have someone build a special hull, and then brought some vegetables, fruits and seafood, just to let His Majesty have a taste, those things are not worth the money but the taste is good.”

He has long heard that Beijing is very popular in promoting the high and trampling the low. Are the Zhang brothers really being flattered?No matter how smug he is, he is still a feudal official. As a favored minister, he really thinks that if he blows the pillow, he will be able to do everything right if he messes with some ministers?

Why don't you look at the positions of the ministers who were killed by them?Or are they entrusted by others?

Luo Shixing's little gift was really ingenious. Generally, no one would dare to give food to Wu Zhao. What if something went wrong?

Of course, what they are more afraid of is what if the other party likes to eat?Many things are not easy to transport. Once the above likes it, it will be a disaster for local officials.

Wu Zhao asked, "How did you come up with this?"

Luo Shixing blinked mischievously and said: "Your Majesty is truly rich in the world, so naturally he should also taste the flavors of the world."

This is a good reason, Wu Zhao turned to Zhang Yizhi and said, "Take someone to deliver."

Luo Shixing immediately reminded: "Those things are a bit special. There may not be anyone in Beijing who can make them, so I brought a cook over. Also, seafood may not be suitable for some people. I don't know if it is suitable for your majesty, so I will cook it together. It's better to eat less at first."

Wu Zhao nodded to Zhang Yizhi, and Zhang Yizhi took the order to retreat, while Zhang Changzong asked curiously, "I don't know what seafood the envoy is talking about?"

These days, the inland actually doesn’t know much about seafood, because the transportation is not convenient enough, they can only eat some dry goods or go to the seaside to eat them.

Zhang Changzong did not believe that even the imperial family and the court could not solve the problem.

When he asked, Luo Shixing suddenly regained his energy, opened his small mouth and began to mutter: "There are octopus, yellow croaker, scallop, grouper, crab, pippi shrimp, and some kelp and seaweed. There are so many of them. Each one has a special way to eat!"

Wu Zhao watched his eyes light up when he was muttering, and he deeply began to suspect that the child built the port in the first place for these food, right?

But since Luo Shixing brought them all over, and said that fresh ones are delicious, Wu Zhao decided to eat them for dinner.

Luo Shixing also emphasized that he must prepare something else, so that he can take it easy if he is not used to it.

Of course, these are handled by a special Shangshi Bureau. The chef brought by Luo Shixing can't really do anything, he can only point out those people, and then operate others.

This is because Wu Zhao trusts Luo Shixing. If he doesn't, the chef won't even be able to enter the palace.

Fortunately, the seafood itself is delicious. Except for the sauce used for the sizzling octopus, which was studied by Shangshi Bureau through several processes for half a day, and a special person was arranged to test the poison, everything else was directly steamed.

Of course there are other ways to eat, but they are too cumbersome, and the staff of the Shangshi Bureau have never done it. Once the seafood is not well cooked, it will really not taste good.

During the dinner, Princess Taiping, Wu Chengsi and others all came to participate. These were considered acquaintances, and apart from them there was a middle-aged man with an unfamiliar face.

Judging from the clothes on his body, he should be Li Dan, the heir of the emperor. Oh, he should have changed his name to Wu Lun now.

If others come to the banquet to eat, drink and have fun, then Li Dan's participation in this banquet is tantamount to being tortured.

He sat there alone, except for Princess Taiping who occasionally talked to him, no one paid attention to him at all.

Looking at him, Luo Shixing suddenly thought of a sentence: The excitement belongs to them, and I have nothing.

Luo Shixing didn't say much after meeting him. Now is not a good time to talk, and he doesn't have much time to talk to Li Dan for the time being. After the seafood came, everyone was talking to him.

I have to say that these people are quite capable of accepting new things, of course, it may be because there is nothing particularly new.

At most, crabs are interesting because they have different shapes. In fact, everyone is used to eating river crabs, so they will not be surprised by crabs.

The only thing that makes them curious is the sizzling octopus. From the raw materials to the sauce, everyone has never tasted it before. The combination of the salty, spicy sauce and the soft and elastic teeth of the octopus is really an irresistible rhythm.

Even if Luo Shixing has been reminding everyone to eat less first, even if they eat less, the allergic reaction will be relatively mild.

As a result, they didn't seem to be worried at all, and they ate very happily. The first batch of octopus was eaten up very quickly, and these people shouted happily while eating.

Seeing that it was not enough, the female officer of the Shangshi Bureau immediately urged the people below to continue to make it. The octopus brought by Luo Shixing was eaten up in one meal.

After eating, everyone was still a little unsatisfied. Wu Chengsi asked very interestedly: "What kind of seasoning is used for this octopus? It looks oily and red in color, and the taste is also very good."

Luo Shixing explained: "I made it by accident before. The raw material is soybeans. In addition to the sauce, there is also a derived sauce, which is also good as a condiment. I brought some this time, and I will send it to your mansion later. Have a taste."

Wu Chengsi turned his eyes and asked, "Sell or not?"

Luo Shixing said: "Sell it, of course it will be sold, but the production volume was not very high before, so it has not been shipped."

Wu Chengsi was immediately very happy. Luo Shixing's business in Luoyang was a partnership with him and Princess Taiping. Selling new things meant making money. How could he not be happy?

You must know that the sales dividends of glass products in the past few months are equivalent to the sum of all his income for a year!

Princess Taiping held up a transparent glass wine cup and asked, "Where is this wine? It's also new? When will it be sold?"

Of course, seafood should be paired with wine. Generally speaking, rice wine is served at this time, but this time Luo Shixing specially brought white wine for everyone to taste.

After hearing Princess Taiping's question, he immediately waved his hands: "This is not for sale. If you like it, I will give you a few jars. If the palace needs it, it will be exclusively for the palace's needs."

Princess Taiping was a little strange: "Why are you selling everything else, but not this one?"

Luo Shixing explained: "The price of this wine will be very high. The most important thing is that it needs a lot of grain. I am worried that there will be businessmen buying grain in order to make money and use it to make wine. The weather has been bad in recent years. There are few in the first place, if they are allowed to purchase a large amount of grain to make wine, causing the price of grain to soar, there will be problems at that time."

After he finished speaking, Wu Zhao and Li Dan, who hadn't joined the chat much, couldn't help but glance at him.

Princess Taiping smiled and said: "So it is like this, you are not old, you have a lot to worry about."

Generally, local officials can manage the area under their jurisdiction well, and generally don't pay special attention to other things, but there are few people like Luo Shixing.

Luo Shixing said with a wry smile: "Where is my concern? Jiaozhou has not been peaceful for many years. Although it has nothing to do with wine making, in the final analysis it is because there is no food and not enough to eat. The reason is the same."

When he said this, Wu Chengsi immediately showed sympathy, he glanced at Wu Zhao, turned his eyes and said: "It's really embarrassing for you to let a little man like you go to the hunter's territory to be an assassin, auntie , I think it’s better to transfer Wu Jiu back to the Central Plains.”

As soon as Wu Chengsi said this, Luo Shixing almost spit out the wine from his mouth.

He looked at Wu Chengsi in shock and thought that I have treated you well, why are you still cheating on me!

Who wants to come to the Central Plains, no matter where the forces in the Central Plains are, there are all kinds of forces, and that is not a problem that can be solved with a high force value.

To put it plainly, when you hit the young one, the old one will come to clean you up.

Jiaozhou is much simpler, because Jiaozhou is too closed, even if there are big families, they are all entrenched in the local area. If they really annoy Luo Shixing, Luo Shixing can take them all in one go, and there will be no future troubles at all.

Moreover, his style of conduct would probably be unacceptable in the Central Plains, not to mention the gentlemen around him are the biggest helpers. The gentlemen are old and have passed the age of intrigue and struggle for power. In addition, Luo Shixing trusts them very much, so There is no struggle within the state capital.

In another place, if there is another big-hearted person who wants to kill the assassin and make himself a leader, or those people have their own interest groups behind them, he is not worried enough!

Luo Shixing said hastily: "My qualifications are too low, and I can still play around in Jiaozhou. If I come back, I'm afraid I have to study first."

As he spoke, he secretly glanced at Wu Zhao, for fear that Wu Zhao would be tempted to really call him back.

Wu Zhao pondered for a while and said, "Jiaozhou is indeed developing well now, let's take a look."

Luo Shixing:? ? ?

Your Majesty, Your Majesty, what's wrong with you, Your Majesty?Don't listen to Wu Chengsi's nonsense, okay?What is there to consider?

Luo Shixing was anxious, but he could only smile and said, "Of course the Central Plains is good, but I have formulated a ten-year plan for Jiaozhou. It would be a pity if it was not completed."

Wu Zhao was very curious: "Ten-year plan? What plan?"

Luo Shixing bit the bullet and said: "In fact, there are only a few aspects. The first is the expansion of the sea spice road. Only I know the location of the islands that I mentioned in the memorial. At that time, I will definitely need to go there personally. , and the land route needs to be opened up with the Central Plains. It is still a bit monotonous to rely only on the sea route. Then there is the economic aspect, which stimulates domestic demand and increases the introduction of foreign capital. In terms of military affairs, the main thing is to guard the border. Lin Yiguo is also a little restless."

The more Luo Shixing spoke, the smoother he was. He didn't like to publicize things that hadn't been done yet, but he thought about it again, anyway, it wasn't literal, it was just his own expectation, and he really thought so. As for whether there will be any trouble in the middle, no one knows.

Everyone was stunned when they heard it. Both Princess Taiping and Wu Chengsi couldn't help but be speechless. This is really a plan from all aspects. It can be seen that Luo Shixing is really trying to govern Jiaozhou.

Even Li Dan couldn't help turning his eyes to Luo Shixing. He knew Luo Shixing. Although this was the first time he had seen Luo Shixing, when Luo Shixing sent things to Beijing, he also gave him a copy. His things are better than those of Princess Taiping.

From then on, whenever Luo Shixing sent things to Beijing, he more or less had a share.

There were many people who gave him things, but generally they meant that they did not forget him as the emperor. Many times, the things he got were not as good as Princess Taiping's, and many things would not reach him at all.

But the things Luo Shixing gave were not, most of the things he gave were not very expensive, occasionally there were some decorations made of gold and silver, but most of them were daily necessities, which were used for food and clothing.

For Li Dan's family who are trapped in a corner, this is what can really help him.

So even if Li Dan knew that Luo Shixing was his mother's favorite, he had a good impression of this person, and at this moment, he felt that this child was rare, considerate, careful and pragmatic.

Wu Zhao's expression was relatively calm. She knew that Luo Shixing was capable, but she didn't expect this child to have such a high ceiling.

Luo Shixing thought that he had just started talking about so many things that represented Jiaozhou, and he couldn't leave yet, so he had to make some achievements.

However, he didn't know that the more he talked, the more Wu Zhao felt that he was a bit inferior to staying in Jiaozhou.
