Datang Institute of Technology
Chapter 54
The next day, Xu Changsheng was still in a drowsy sleep, feeling someone pulling his quilt.
He opened his eyes and saw that it was Brother Changbai.
"Changsheng, it's time to wake up."
Xu Changsheng glanced outside, it was still dark, he can assure you, he couldn't even see the road clearly, the crowing rooster might be sleeping late, no, not sleeping late, now is his normal rest time.
Xu Changsheng rubbed his eyes and said, "Why so early? Let me sleep a little longer."
I kept digging into the quilt, so sleepy.
"Longevity, longevity..."
Don't listen, don't listen, bastard chanting scriptures, he finally doesn't have to study, this is his vacation, he has to rest well, he has to sleep until he wakes up naturally, sleeps until the sun shines on his buttocks.
The little head keeps arching, he wants to be an ostrich.
Can……
"Longevity, longevity..."
More and more people shouted.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, and a small head emerged from under the quilt, "What's the matter?"
"It's time to go up, or His Majesty will blame you and get punished."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
That's right, he is an official now, the kind of "big official" who has to go to court.
But...you were obviously a little excited yesterday, why can't you arouse any interest today?
Looking outside again, it seems that officials in Datang need to get up earlier than chickens.
Xu Changsheng's face turned into a bitter gourd.
I really have to suffer for being late.
To be desperate, to be honest, even if he had never worked so hard in his previous life.
Xu Changsheng put on his clothes, washed up a little, and then hurried out, because Brother Changbai kept urging him, so he was too late.
Before Xu Changsheng left, he took a special look at the big rooster. He really hadn't gotten up yet, so he licked his lips. He used to keep the big cock for crowing, but now he didn't seem to need it anymore, so he cooked soup when he came back.
Riding on Dabai, Dabai's speed is much faster than that of a sedan chair.
It's still midnight, and Dabai's eyes are still green in the dark, so he probably can scare people when he walks on the street.
However, there seemed to be no one on the street except the watchmen.
Now he dares to go out alone on Dabai. In the past, he had to follow the uncle of the Xu family because he was afraid that Ren Yazi would abduct him. Now try abducting him. Those who went out and estimated to buy it would also have to be terrified, because the Xu family is too troublesome to hide it.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng is very safe now.
Of course, this is also because the public security in Chang'an is not bad.
Xu Changsheng ran fast on his Dabai, and when he arrived in front of the palace, he was already waiting for a big push.
He couldn't help being taken aback, it's so early, his understanding speed is so fast, that means these people got up earlier than him.
Officials are indeed not something ordinary people can do.
Xu Changsheng got off Dabai's back, and cupped his hands whenever he saw anyone, "Good morning, my lord."
Because he saw that this is how other people greeted each other with acquaintances.
Xu Changsheng is now wearing an official uniform, which is modest and serious.
After Xu Changsheng finished his greetings, he looked up at the other party eagerly. He could see clearly just now. After saying hello, the other party had to return the greeting.
The person being asked was taken aback for a moment, then blinked at the little carrot head who was waiting for him with his head up.
This... This is the Xu family!
The corners of the mouth kept twitching.
Xu Changsheng just watched.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and finally he cupped his hands quickly, "Morning, Mr. Xu."
After speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve, turned around and left.
Civil officials in ancient times did this when they were ashamed to meet people.
Xu Changsheng's face turned red with joy, Xu...Master Xu?
That's right, it's him, Xu... big... man!
Seems to have found some fun, and said to everyone, "Good morning, my lord.", and then looked at the person.
A very strange scene appeared at the gate of the palace. A little adult greeted each other one by one, and the person who was asked ran away covering his face.
They really became officials in the same dynasty as a four-year-old child.
Seeing a familiar person, Xu Changsheng tore his legs and ran up to chase after him, "Master Fang, Mr. Fang, I saw you, don't run away..."
Strange, how did Fang Xuanling see him running so fast?How close they are.
Xu Changsheng discovered that most of the people came in sedan chairs, sat at the gate of the palace, and walked to the Golden Palace after the gate opened.
But there were exceptions. Some people came to court on bicycles, and they were so arrogant that they secretly showed contempt when they looked at those sedan chairs.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Many people were eating bread with a Coke in the other.
breakfast?
Why is the picture a little weird?
Xu Changsheng also covered his face, as if because of him, this Tang Dynasty is a bit different.
The palace opens on the fourth watch.
As soon as the gate opened, a group of people started walking inside.
Xu Changsheng stepped on a figure-of-sight step, raised his head and followed behind. He is now a high-ranking official, so he has to walk sideways.
After walking a few steps, he quickly behaved himself again.
He suddenly thought of one thing, he is an official now, right?That is to say, if he behaves improperly, those admonishing officials of the imperial court can refer to him.
In other words, he won't be able to joke around in the future?
His head drooped, and this official seemed a little bit aggrieved. Not only did he get up earlier than the chicken, but he couldn't play around everywhere, and his only fun was deprived of it.
Moreover, it was hard work like this, and all he got was a salary of two taels of silver a month.
Hundreds of officials have entered the palace one after another.
Xu Changsheng was only a junior official of the seventh rank, so he was already standing near the door.
He looked, but couldn't even see Li Shimin's face clearly, he could barely see a figure on it.
In other words, Li Shimin couldn't see him either.
Then if he squints for a while, he should be fine.
In fact, he got up too early, and he was so sleepy and dazed.
He is so small that others will never notice him. Those who can see him are the people behind him. Standing behind him must be smaller than his official position. Even if they see him dozing off, they dare not say anything, right?He is their boss.
There was already a voice from above the Golden Palace, which seemed to be discussing something, and of course it had nothing to do with these small officials.
Xu Changsheng looked left and right, and then began to close his eyes and doze off, he just squinted for a while.
Discussion among hundreds of officials is an individual effort.
I don't know how long I have been standing, my feet are tired, and I am staggering like a tumbler.
His footsteps moved towards the pillar next to him, and then he leaned against the pillar, heaving a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a pillar beside him.
Leaning against a pillar for a while, it's awesome.
And the people in front completely blocked him, nothing happened.
Leaning on the pillar, I became more and more sleepy, and I didn't hear clearly what was said above.
Suddenly, an angry voice came from above, "It's unreasonable."
The sound was like thunder.
Xu Changsheng was leaning on the pillar in a daze and couldn't even stand upright, but he was frightened by this sound and Duang rolled on the ground.
"Ouch."
The fall was quite painful, and they all fell out of the queue.
Hundreds of officials were divided into two rows according to civil and military officials. Xu Changsheng fell like this and fell right in the middle of the two rows.
Almost all civil and military officials in the court looked over.
I saw Xu Changsheng's legs were on his back, his calves were still kicking, trying to get up.
This fall almost woke him up from his drowsiness.
Getting up from the ground, he couldn't help being taken aback, why is everyone looking at him?
And, when does it light up?He could see Li Shimin's expression clearly, a bit dark?
What's the matter? This is it?
At this time, Li Shimin said, "Xuan Yilang has a book to play?"
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, what can he do?He just came to make soy sauce.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, wait, he really has something to do.
It's just the first time he went to court like this, how can he persist in the future, and it's only two taels, two taels after such a hard month...
It's all resentment.
Xu Changsheng hastened to imitate the others, straightened his clothes in a decent manner, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."
minister?
The corners of the mouths of the officials in the hall twitched, but Xu Jiazi's claim was indeed correct, he is now the seventh-rank official of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was also taken aback for a moment, and replied, "What's the matter?"
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "I want to resign."
There was a sound of throwing the ground, and all the officials in the court were quiet.
Xu Jiazi will resign on his first day in court?
As soon as Xu Changsheng's voice fell, an admonisher scolded, "Presumptuous, minister Shen Xuan Yilang has no eyes on the court, he should be whipped."
Whip... caning?
It was too inhuman, and he just said a word.
Li Shimin's face turned darker, and he said in a serious tone, "You want to resign?"
Xu Changsheng shuddered and woke up completely, wanting to slap himself.
This is not a joke, it is a trivial matter to say the wrong thing and get beaten.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I was agitated just now, and I made a mistake. I wanted to say that I wanted to be promoted. I was willing to devote myself to the Tang Dynasty and die. I always want to serve the court and be loyal to Your Majesty..."
After some "heartfelt words", Xu Changsheng blushed a little.
However, Li Shimin's complexion seemed to improve a little bit, and he said, "So, if you stand up, do you have any good suggestions for the matter we just discussed?"
Xu Changsheng was stunned, what was discussed just now?
He was dozing off just now and didn't hear anything.
How can this be done?
Cautiously said, "Changsheng...Changsheng did have some ideas, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, can your majesty repeat the question just now?"
Mom, I'm so tired.
He is only four years old, why is he playing tricks with a group of old foxes here.
This official is too aggrieved, the key is that he can't resign yet.
Just now he said something, but he was reprimanded by the admonisher and questioned by His Majesty. If he dared to mention it again, his ass would probably be swollen.
Others just want to be an official, so why does he feel like he's being kicked out of the market?
As soon as Xu Changsheng's voice fell, everyone in the Golden Hall froze, "Xuan Yilang, you said just now that you have thought about the matter you are talking about?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, why did the eyes of these people suddenly become so weird?
What was it that was discussed just now?
Xu Changsheng is the one being kicked out now, can he say that he doesn't even know what is being discussed?It is estimated that it is not a problem that the buttocks are swollen.
It's all his fault that he didn't stand firm and was thrown on his back.
Cautiously said, "Yes... I have a little idea, really, just a little bit, but I have to ask you to repeat the question just now, so that the elders can understand it."
Baiguan's expression became even weirder.
Xu Changsheng was flustered in his heart, what exactly were they discussing?
At this time, Changsun Wuji stood up, "Xu Jiazi, my Tang Dynasty general who has experienced countless battlefields has nothing to do, can you do anything?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, what... what do you mean?
He now has one head and two big heads.
Xu Changsheng cupped his hands, "Please explain clearly."
Changsun Wuji frowned. It stands to reason that Xu Jiazi is now an official of the crown prince, so he should help out a little bit, but why did he look at Xu Jiazi in a daze, as if he didn't even understand the problem?
He shouldn't be talking nonsense, right?
If so, Xu Jiazi would have to be convicted of contempt of court today.
Changsun Wuji said, "Now it's the time of the autumn harvest. In the borderlands, the Turks have repeatedly invaded and robbed the hard-earned food of our Tang people. Your Majesty has sent Li Jing to lead the army to crusade, but..."
Xu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. He finally understood why these people looked at him so strangely. He is a four-year-old kid who actually has some ideas about such military affairs?
An ordinary four-year-old child probably doesn't even know what war is.
But, now he was riding a tiger, so he gritted his teeth and listened seriously.
I am also recalling in my heart, the four years of Zhenguan, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks?
His eyes narrowed, as if he remembered something. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Great Tang and the Turks went to war. The final result seemed to be that Li Jing defeated the Turks, Jieli Khan fled, and the Great Tang won.
In other words, even if he didn't say anything, Datang would win. It seems that it was from this battle that the foundation was laid for Li Shimin's name as Tian Khan. The trend of Zhenguan is a sign of the beginning of the prosperity of Zhenguan.
But now it is not a question of whether Datang can win the fight, but whether he can get off the stage.
Changsun Wuji continued, "Li Jing's army did defeat the Turks at the beginning and won a lot of victories, but now, our army is chasing after the victory, but there are frequent situations. Our army is not good at fighting at night, and the Turkic army seems to have night vision ability, which makes our army exhausted. Second, as our army pursues and penetrates into the enemy, our soldiers suddenly have a large-scale strange disease, dizziness, Tinnitus disgusting..."
"Our army managed to achieve such a great victory. If we don't take advantage of the victory to beat up the Turkic people, they will definitely come to rob our border people of food in the coming year."
"So the question is, do we put up with those two issues now and play the game, or come back to defense."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, someone said, "These two problems are not unique to this year. In the past, the Turks often came to rob our border people of food. Although our army can beat them away every time, because of the above two problems , were all successfully escaped by the Turks.”
This is an old problem, which has troubled Datang for a long time and has not been resolved.
Every autumn, the issue of Turks robbing food will be put on the court.
But every time troops were sent out, the invading Turkic people could not be killed no matter how hard they were fought. On the contrary, Datang spent a lot of money because of the mobilization of troops, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Today, Li Jing has won consecutive victories, but still has to face this problem.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "Xuan Yilang, now let me tell you a little bit about your opinion."
At this moment, Xu Changsheng was already stunned.
Our army can only pursue during the day, but not at night?At night, the Turks came back, as if they could see at night?
This question... Could it be night blindness?
As far as Xu Changsheng knew, many people in ancient times had night blindness, and night blindness was caused by a long-term lack of vitamin A.
As for going deep into the enemy, a large-scale strange disease broke out among our soldiers, dizziness, tinnitus and nausea...
This is also easy to explain, the terrain of Turkic is higher than that of Tang Dynasty, and looking at these symptoms, if the guess is correct, it should be... altitude sickness, and altitude sickness is not incurable.
"Xuan Yilang?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone's eyes were on Xu Changsheng. They wanted to see how evil a child who had never been on a battlefield before he dared to point fingers at the war.
"Xuan Yilang, tell me about your thoughts." Li Shimin said.
No wonder Li Shimin's complexion has not been very good-looking. It turns out that he has encountered something that has not been resolved.
Xu Changsheng saw it clearly, so he had confidence, so he wasn't afraid.
The little head flicked, "Your Majesty, I do have some ideas, but I am still young, and I really don't know anything about things on the battlefield."
Everyone was taken aback, what is the meaning of this?
Isn't Xu Jiazi's words contradicting himself?
Don't know anything about war, but have ideas?
Some people have already raised objections, "Xuan Yilang, this is the place where the court discusses important matters, I hope you think twice before acting."
He thought that Xu Changsheng came out on his own initiative just now, and fell because he was too anxious. He never thought that Xu Changsheng fell out by himself because he fell asleep, and he was more confused than anyone else.
Xu Changsheng said with a smile when he heard the words, "My lord's words are very true. Although Changsheng is young, he still understands."
Didn't you even see him trembling with fright just now?
He was scared back when he wanted to resign.
Xu Changsheng continued, "Your Majesty, although I don't understand warfare, I can use scientific methods to solve two problems in our army."
Xu Changsheng started throwing bombs again, which silenced the whole hall.
Xu Jiazi said he could solve the above two problems?
Does he know how long Datang has been confused by these two questions?
Some people opened their mouths, but they still didn't say anything in the end. Xu Jiazi is indeed a bit of a demon, so let's wait and see how he solves these two problems.
Especially the military generals in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, they have all led troops to fight, how to solve these problems?
Cheng Yaojin stood up, "Xu Jiazi, why don't you tell me quickly."
Many people nodded. They found that this Xu family son loves to show off, and every time he got their appetite up, he would start to slow down. If it was their own child, he would have been hung up and beaten.
Xu Changsheng thought, is he going to make meritorious service again?But he doesn't want to be an official anymore.
Hey, it's not good to be promoted too quickly, it's okay to let him be an official who doesn't go to court.
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Everyone, these two problems of our army can actually be solved with scientific methods. For example, the first problem that our army cannot see at night is what I call night blindness, and the appearance of night blindness is Because the body lacks vitamin A, the solution to it is to supplement a large amount of vitamin A..."
"Wait, Xu Jiazi, what did you just say?"
A group of ministers are very confused, why can't they understand?
Xu Changsheng was also confused, how could he make sense?
It seems that he has to popularize his scientific knowledge on a large scale, but how can he popularize his scientific knowledge on a large scale?
He has taught a group of children in Xu's family a little foundation, and the others have only listened to his lectures twice at most, which is not considered enlightenment.
But now is not the time to think about this, it is better to settle the matter before us.
Xu Changsheng said, "Night blindness can be cured by eating more pork liver."
Pork liver contains a lot of vitamin A, so he said it so simply and clearly.
Baiguan and Li Shimin: "..."
The Xu family has raised so many pigs, so maybe they are here to sell their pigs?
How many years have they been unable to solve the problem, just eat more pork liver?
In fact, it is okay to eat more meat, but meat does not contain as many vitamins as pork liver.
Most people in ancient times had night blindness, and the most fundamental reason was that they ate less meat, were poor, and couldn't afford meat.
"Xu Jiazi, take this seriously"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "My lords, there is a scientific basis for this. Night blindness is actually a disease, and eating pork liver can cure it."
In this way, everyone can understand that since it is a disease, pig liver is medicine.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, my Xu Family Village is willing to donate all the pig livers in my Xu Family Village."
Anyway, he also planned to expand the Immortal Restaurant, and he needed to kill a large number of pigs to meet the demand, so it was nothing to send pig livers to the court.
Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Xu Changsheng continued, "If it is successful, it will not cause any other problems if the soldiers eat pork liver."
Everyone was stunned, and it seemed right, even if it couldn't be cured, it was impossible for other problems to occur because of eating pork liver.
There is no need to think about this question at all, and Xu Jiazi still took the initiative to give the pig liver to the court for free.
At this time Tang Jian stood up, "Your Majesty, there is still a difficulty in this matter. Even if pig liver can cure night blindness, but now the weather is hot, and the fresh pig liver is transported to the front line. It may be rotten. How to import it?"
Everyone was also taken aback, this is indeed a problem.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and said, "In the past, it would have been impossible to transport fresh pork liver so far, but now there is no problem."
Xu Changsheng looked at Tang Jian, "My lord, I'm afraid you haven't eaten the spicy dried tofu and pickled pepper chicken feet from our Xu's supermarket, have you?"
Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was taken aback for a moment. He was indeed refusing everything from the Xu Family Supermarket because Xu Jiazi stunned him in the hall last time.
Xu Changsheng continued, "If you pay attention to my Xujia Supermarket, you will know that the pickled pepper chicken feet and spicy dried tofu in my Xujia Supermarket are already sold in Datang Shidao. With such a long distance, my Xujia Supermarket has already sold them. be able to guarantee its quality.”
Many people were also taken aback. It's not that they haven't eaten these two things, but they didn't expect these little things to be sold in ten ways of the Tang Dynasty.
Can't help but ask, "Is this a scientific reason?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "Exactly, whether it's pickled pepper chicken feet or spicy dried tofu, they are all pickled, so they are not easy to be corrupted, and they are all vacuum-packed to keep them in a sterile state. Speaking of it, the half-year warranty is no problem at all.”
"Six months warranty?" Someone asked, although they didn't understand some things, they still heard the key things.
Xu Changsheng replied, "Yes, as long as the pork liver is made into a snack similar to pickled pepper chicken feet using similar techniques, the shelf life is still good for half a year, so the pork liver I provided to the imperial court will not be original, but It is made into a small packet of snacks, so that our army can eat it when it is delivered to the front line, and it tastes delicious, which can be regarded as an extra meal for the hard-working frontline soldiers."
Some people couldn't help swallowing when they thought of the snacks in Xu's supermarket.
The things sold in Xu's Supermarket are now well-known to everyone, and no one can boast about the taste.
Li Shimin thought about it, this is indeed the best way, even if the night blindness can't be cured, it can be regarded as rewarding the frontline soldiers.
Of course, the Xu family's pork liver is definitely not enough, he has to ask people to buy some.
He said, "What's the difference, everyone? If not, just follow what Xuan Yilang said."
After finishing speaking, he continued, "If the problem of night blindness can really be solved, then we will reward you for your merits."
These credits are naturally recorded by special officials. Even if Li Shimin doesn't say it now, someone will remind him when the merits are rewarded.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he probably got 100% of the credit for this achievement.
Li Shimin said again, "Xuan Yilang, how to solve our army's second problem?"
Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng in unison.
This was the first time he went to court, and he did not expect to behave like this.
Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.
The happiest thing is Li Shimin, Xu Jiazi was arranged by him to enter the court against all opinions, and if he can make a difference, of course it will give him good face.
Xu Changsheng clasped his fists, "Don't worry, my lords, let me tell you one by one. Just like night blindness just now, the abnormal reaction of our army is also a disease, called altitude sickness."
With the previous precedent of night blindness, it will be much faster to accept.
Someone asked, "Altitude sickness? What is this disease?"
Xu Changsheng said, "I believe everyone knows that the terrain of our Tang Dynasty has high terrain and low terrain, but the land of Turks is higher than that of our Tang Dynasty, and our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will appear when they suddenly enter a place with high terrain. Dizziness, nausea and vomiting, this is altitude sickness."
In fact, it is because of the high terrain and lack of oxygen.
But if he said that, he would have to explain what oxygen is.
Everyone nodded slightly, "But the climate is not acclimatized?"
Xu Changsheng nodded quickly, "Your Excellency is right, it is really unacceptable."
Now everyone understands better, not to mention going to the Turkic lands, when their officials of the Tang Dynasty take office immediately, and leave their original places, there will be dissatisfaction with the environment.
"But how to treat such a peculiar disease of acclimatization?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Our army has been in the Turkic land for a while now, right? In fact, the treatment can start from two aspects."
"One is to let our soldiers advance little by little, and gradually adapt to the Turkic environment. Some soldiers began to suffer from altitude sickness. In fact, they will recover after two days, so don't panic."
"Of course, this is the way to treat the symptoms of mild altitude sickness. If the symptoms are more serious... Changsheng said just now that this is also a kind of disease. Of course, the disease needs to be treated with medicine. Changsheng knows that a herb called Rhodiola can just treat this. disease."
Rhodiola?
Everyone was taken aback, none of them were doctors and they were not familiar with this medicine.
Li Er said, "It is said that the imperial doctor is coming."
Xu Changsheng also found a pen and paper to draw. The pencils he used had a realistic style of painting, which was quite different from Datang's.
The drawing was completed quickly, and then handed over to Li Er and the others for inspection.
"This painting is so vivid that people can recognize it clearly at a glance."
"Although this technique is different from our current painting technique, it is quite practical. It can be used in chasing murderers in Yamen, drawing maps, etc..."
A group of bigwigs have a lot of insight.
Xu Changsheng also nodded, the realistic painting method does have its unique features.
At this time, the imperial doctor came and handed the painting to the imperial doctor. Li Shimin said, "Can you recognize this herb?"
The imperial physician is worthy of being an imperial physician, and he recognized it at first glance. To confirm, he looked at it for a while longer, and replied, "Your Majesty, I know this medicine, and it is sold in Yunnan, Bashu, Gansu, Qinghai and other places. There are many discoveries, even more in the Turkic lands, but the name in the medical books is not Rhodiola."
Take a look, as expected of a professional, even the place of origin is clearly remembered.
As for whether it is called Rhodiola, Xu Changsheng thought, its name may have changed over the millennium, but it is fine.
Xu Changsheng said, "Turkic people can adapt to altitude sickness, one of the reasons is that they eat rhodiola as a vegetable, and it is right."
Li Shimin asked the imperial doctor again about the role of rhodiola.
Although the imperial doctor's answer did not say that it can treat altitude sickness, eating more is also beneficial.
With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Send people to collect a large amount and replace part of the military rations with rhodiola."
Why not try to kill two birds with one stone.
With the order of His Majesty Tang, I believe it is not particularly difficult to collect.
Xu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, but his sweat broke out in a hurry, and he never dozed off again when he went to court.
But thinking about having to get up in the middle of the night, my face really turned into a bitter gourd.
Xu Changsheng cupped his fists and returned to his position. There must be nothing else to do now, so he hid.
After what happened just now, he was completely awake from his drowsiness.
A group of ministers began to discuss related matters again.
Xu Changsheng sighed, being an official is hard and tiring, and being an official has no money to make, and it is not free to stand here.
I don't know why so many people just keep going to the court.
He really wanted to go back to Xujia Village, now that he thought about it, it was heaven.
In today's court meeting, the Turkic issue is more important, and the others are trivial matters.
After the court, Xu Changsheng was so hungry that his chest was on his back. No wonder he saw so many people eating bread in the morning. It turned out that they had already prepared for it.
Unlike him, because he got up too early, he didn't want to eat at all, so when he went out, he didn't eat a bite, and thought about going to the next court and then going home to have breakfast, but he didn't expect that when the next court was over, lunch was basically over.
On the golden hall, an old man shouted in a sharp voice, "Down."
Before the voice fell, a small figure was seen riding a big tiger and running away.
Everyone stared blankly.
Xu Jiazi ran too fast, right?
Li Shimin's face also twitched, he had never seen such an active runner.
Xu Changsheng couldn't control so much, he was starving to death, really.
As soon as he ran back to his place of residence, he shouted from afar, "Quick...quickly prepare some sugar water, I'm going to faint."
Xu Changsheng drank a few mouthfuls of Coca-Cola in a daze, pulled a few packets of chicken feet, and couldn't wait for the rice to be served.
Brother Changbai blinked his eyes, "Changsheng, what's it like to be an official?"
Xu Changsheng glared, "It feels like a starving ghost."
"Aren't officials always showing off their power and showing off their power?"
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, that is a senior official, he is now standing at the door as a junior official, and he has to call his lord when he sees everyone.
Don't think he is a seventh-rank official, but this is Chang'an, and anyone he pulls along the road may be a higher official than him.
Brother Changbai was very curious, "How does it feel to go to court?"
Xu Changsheng looked like he didn't mention it, what would it feel like to go to court?He fell on all fours, and was almost frightened by ginseng that he despised the court. Fortunately, he just knew about the problems he encountered today, otherwise he would not have come down.
If he was slapped on the first day of going to court, he would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone.
He sighed, but it seemed like he still couldn't quit this official.
No wonder people who resigned before did not end well. Xu Changsheng didn't believe it before, but now he believes it. Give it a try and stand up for a group of people to say that you despise the court.
It is difficult to become an official, and it is also difficult for him to resign.
Xu Changsheng ate a lot today, and when he was full, he sighed again, what should he do in the future?
After thinking about it, the Guozijian will start school soon, he must study, so he doesn't have to go to court?
The more he thinks about it, the more he understands this. He is still young, so he must focus on studying. His Majesty must think so too.
He had never thought of the Guozijian starting school earlier.
At this time, Uncle Xu Zheng also came back, looking at Xu Changsheng smiling, their Xu family also has an official.
Xu Changsheng knew what his uncle was thinking just by looking at his expression, even if he wanted to find someone to complain about.
If he dared to say that he wanted to resign, his uncle would probably call his great grandfather over immediately.
I had no choice but to change the subject, I really didn't want my uncle to ask him questions about today's court.
Moreover, the matter in the court today involves military secrets, and even the market has no news, it should be blocked, and he can't talk nonsense.
It's not that they don't believe the people of the Xu family, but if the people of the Xu family accidentally say something wrong, it will really hurt them, so it's better to keep their mouths shut.
Xu Changsheng said, "Uncle, I am writing to my great grandfather to ask how the expansion of the Immortal Restaurant is going?"
The uncle replied, "Your great grandfather can let you decide for yourself."
Xu Changsheng can also be the master of Xujiacun's affairs now.
Xu Changsheng thought about it. Originally, he only wanted to open two or three more fairy restaurants, but now he promised to send pork livers to the imperial court. He must kill a lot of pigs. Although he has a way to store pork hoards to ensure that they will not rot, there is no fresh meat after all. eat.
It's better to open more fairy restaurants, so that while expanding the fairy restaurants, it can also solve the hoarded pork.
His Majesty Li Er will definitely collect pig livers for the Xu family to process, and then send them to the front line, otherwise the Xu family's pig livers alone will not be enough.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, then stretched out two palms, "Then we will open ten more immortal restaurants."
Even though ten companies seem to be quite a lot, but Chang'an is too big, and after being distributed, it can't meet Chang'an's needs at all.
And opening ten restaurants, with the popularity of their Immortal Restaurant, they can quickly pay back their capital.
Then you can make a lot of money.
At Li Er's birthday party, he said in front of all the officials that he wanted to build a concrete road from Chang'an to Xujia Village.
For such a big project, the people from their Xujia Village alone are definitely not enough, and they will have to hire people to repair it at that time, and it will all be money.
In addition, the manufacture and transportation of cement cost money, unlike their roads in Xujia Village, which can be repaired with a little effort.
Is the cement road in Xujia Village good?It must be good, but Li Shimin and all the court officials have read it, why don't they even ask?
Don't they know how good the concrete road in Xujia Village is?Don't know the benefits if the roads in other parts of Datang become cement roads?
No, they knew, and it was because they knew that they didn't ask, because they knew that building roads was a waste of life and money, and with the current living standards of the people in Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to build them at all, even if they asked, it would be futile Sentimental.
Datang is poor, so he knows that some things are good, but he can only look at them helplessly, otherwise, just like the previous dynasty, because of the new water conservancy, the people complained and complained.
Isn't the water conservancy project of the previous dynasty a good thing?It must be, if it is built, it will be beneficial to the people, but...the living standard at that time could not afford to build new water conservancy projects, just like the people in Tang Dynasty now, they could not afford to build cement roads at all.
Now, they mainly cultivate their own farmland.
When the uncle heard Xu Changsheng say that he wanted to build ten fairy restaurants, he couldn't help being taken aback.
Xu Changsheng smiled, now is the best time for them to vigorously develop, there are no competitors, and the market demand is also high.
It can even be said that the income of Immortal Restaurant may not be worse than that of Xu's Supermarket.
Xu's supermarket sold a can of oil, which seemed to make a lot of money at once, but it took a long time for others to use up a can of oil.
But Immortal Restaurant is different, people have to eat every day.
So, the uncle went to find a shop to rent.
Lease is the most cost-effective. If you buy it, the capital investment will be too much.
During the renovation of the Immortal Restaurant, Xu Changsheng spent some time drawing a huge picture.
The painting on it is wonderful, it is definitely the people of the Tang Dynasty.
He opened his eyes and saw that it was Brother Changbai.
"Changsheng, it's time to wake up."
Xu Changsheng glanced outside, it was still dark, he can assure you, he couldn't even see the road clearly, the crowing rooster might be sleeping late, no, not sleeping late, now is his normal rest time.
Xu Changsheng rubbed his eyes and said, "Why so early? Let me sleep a little longer."
I kept digging into the quilt, so sleepy.
"Longevity, longevity..."
Don't listen, don't listen, bastard chanting scriptures, he finally doesn't have to study, this is his vacation, he has to rest well, he has to sleep until he wakes up naturally, sleeps until the sun shines on his buttocks.
The little head keeps arching, he wants to be an ostrich.
Can……
"Longevity, longevity..."
More and more people shouted.
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, and a small head emerged from under the quilt, "What's the matter?"
"It's time to go up, or His Majesty will blame you and get punished."
Xu Changsheng: "..."
That's right, he is an official now, the kind of "big official" who has to go to court.
But...you were obviously a little excited yesterday, why can't you arouse any interest today?
Looking outside again, it seems that officials in Datang need to get up earlier than chickens.
Xu Changsheng's face turned into a bitter gourd.
I really have to suffer for being late.
To be desperate, to be honest, even if he had never worked so hard in his previous life.
Xu Changsheng put on his clothes, washed up a little, and then hurried out, because Brother Changbai kept urging him, so he was too late.
Before Xu Changsheng left, he took a special look at the big rooster. He really hadn't gotten up yet, so he licked his lips. He used to keep the big cock for crowing, but now he didn't seem to need it anymore, so he cooked soup when he came back.
Riding on Dabai, Dabai's speed is much faster than that of a sedan chair.
It's still midnight, and Dabai's eyes are still green in the dark, so he probably can scare people when he walks on the street.
However, there seemed to be no one on the street except the watchmen.
Now he dares to go out alone on Dabai. In the past, he had to follow the uncle of the Xu family because he was afraid that Ren Yazi would abduct him. Now try abducting him. Those who went out and estimated to buy it would also have to be terrified, because the Xu family is too troublesome to hide it.
Therefore, Xu Changsheng is very safe now.
Of course, this is also because the public security in Chang'an is not bad.
Xu Changsheng ran fast on his Dabai, and when he arrived in front of the palace, he was already waiting for a big push.
He couldn't help being taken aback, it's so early, his understanding speed is so fast, that means these people got up earlier than him.
Officials are indeed not something ordinary people can do.
Xu Changsheng got off Dabai's back, and cupped his hands whenever he saw anyone, "Good morning, my lord."
Because he saw that this is how other people greeted each other with acquaintances.
Xu Changsheng is now wearing an official uniform, which is modest and serious.
After Xu Changsheng finished his greetings, he looked up at the other party eagerly. He could see clearly just now. After saying hello, the other party had to return the greeting.
The person being asked was taken aback for a moment, then blinked at the little carrot head who was waiting for him with his head up.
This... This is the Xu family!
The corners of the mouth kept twitching.
Xu Changsheng just watched.
The corner of the man's mouth twitched, and finally he cupped his hands quickly, "Morning, Mr. Xu."
After speaking, he covered his face with his sleeve, turned around and left.
Civil officials in ancient times did this when they were ashamed to meet people.
Xu Changsheng's face turned red with joy, Xu...Master Xu?
That's right, it's him, Xu... big... man!
Seems to have found some fun, and said to everyone, "Good morning, my lord.", and then looked at the person.
A very strange scene appeared at the gate of the palace. A little adult greeted each other one by one, and the person who was asked ran away covering his face.
They really became officials in the same dynasty as a four-year-old child.
Seeing a familiar person, Xu Changsheng tore his legs and ran up to chase after him, "Master Fang, Mr. Fang, I saw you, don't run away..."
Strange, how did Fang Xuanling see him running so fast?How close they are.
Xu Changsheng discovered that most of the people came in sedan chairs, sat at the gate of the palace, and walked to the Golden Palace after the gate opened.
But there were exceptions. Some people came to court on bicycles, and they were so arrogant that they secretly showed contempt when they looked at those sedan chairs.
Xu Changsheng: "..."
Many people were eating bread with a Coke in the other.
breakfast?
Why is the picture a little weird?
Xu Changsheng also covered his face, as if because of him, this Tang Dynasty is a bit different.
The palace opens on the fourth watch.
As soon as the gate opened, a group of people started walking inside.
Xu Changsheng stepped on a figure-of-sight step, raised his head and followed behind. He is now a high-ranking official, so he has to walk sideways.
After walking a few steps, he quickly behaved himself again.
He suddenly thought of one thing, he is an official now, right?That is to say, if he behaves improperly, those admonishing officials of the imperial court can refer to him.
In other words, he won't be able to joke around in the future?
His head drooped, and this official seemed a little bit aggrieved. Not only did he get up earlier than the chicken, but he couldn't play around everywhere, and his only fun was deprived of it.
Moreover, it was hard work like this, and all he got was a salary of two taels of silver a month.
Hundreds of officials have entered the palace one after another.
Xu Changsheng was only a junior official of the seventh rank, so he was already standing near the door.
He looked, but couldn't even see Li Shimin's face clearly, he could barely see a figure on it.
In other words, Li Shimin couldn't see him either.
Then if he squints for a while, he should be fine.
In fact, he got up too early, and he was so sleepy and dazed.
He is so small that others will never notice him. Those who can see him are the people behind him. Standing behind him must be smaller than his official position. Even if they see him dozing off, they dare not say anything, right?He is their boss.
There was already a voice from above the Golden Palace, which seemed to be discussing something, and of course it had nothing to do with these small officials.
Xu Changsheng looked left and right, and then began to close his eyes and doze off, he just squinted for a while.
Discussion among hundreds of officials is an individual effort.
I don't know how long I have been standing, my feet are tired, and I am staggering like a tumbler.
His footsteps moved towards the pillar next to him, and then he leaned against the pillar, heaving a sigh of relief, fortunately there was a pillar beside him.
Leaning against a pillar for a while, it's awesome.
And the people in front completely blocked him, nothing happened.
Leaning on the pillar, I became more and more sleepy, and I didn't hear clearly what was said above.
Suddenly, an angry voice came from above, "It's unreasonable."
The sound was like thunder.
Xu Changsheng was leaning on the pillar in a daze and couldn't even stand upright, but he was frightened by this sound and Duang rolled on the ground.
"Ouch."
The fall was quite painful, and they all fell out of the queue.
Hundreds of officials were divided into two rows according to civil and military officials. Xu Changsheng fell like this and fell right in the middle of the two rows.
Almost all civil and military officials in the court looked over.
I saw Xu Changsheng's legs were on his back, his calves were still kicking, trying to get up.
This fall almost woke him up from his drowsiness.
Getting up from the ground, he couldn't help being taken aback, why is everyone looking at him?
And, when does it light up?He could see Li Shimin's expression clearly, a bit dark?
What's the matter? This is it?
At this time, Li Shimin said, "Xuan Yilang has a book to play?"
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, what can he do?He just came to make soy sauce.
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly thought of something, wait, he really has something to do.
It's just the first time he went to court like this, how can he persist in the future, and it's only two taels, two taels after such a hard month...
It's all resentment.
Xu Changsheng hastened to imitate the others, straightened his clothes in a decent manner, leaned over and said, "Your Majesty, I have something to do."
minister?
The corners of the mouths of the officials in the hall twitched, but Xu Jiazi's claim was indeed correct, he is now the seventh-rank official of the Tang Dynasty.
Li Shimin was also taken aback for a moment, and replied, "What's the matter?"
Xu Changsheng hurriedly said, "I want to resign."
There was a sound of throwing the ground, and all the officials in the court were quiet.
Xu Jiazi will resign on his first day in court?
As soon as Xu Changsheng's voice fell, an admonisher scolded, "Presumptuous, minister Shen Xuan Yilang has no eyes on the court, he should be whipped."
Whip... caning?
It was too inhuman, and he just said a word.
Li Shimin's face turned darker, and he said in a serious tone, "You want to resign?"
Xu Changsheng shuddered and woke up completely, wanting to slap himself.
This is not a joke, it is a trivial matter to say the wrong thing and get beaten.
He hurriedly said, "Your Majesty, I was agitated just now, and I made a mistake. I wanted to say that I wanted to be promoted. I was willing to devote myself to the Tang Dynasty and die. I always want to serve the court and be loyal to Your Majesty..."
After some "heartfelt words", Xu Changsheng blushed a little.
However, Li Shimin's complexion seemed to improve a little bit, and he said, "So, if you stand up, do you have any good suggestions for the matter we just discussed?"
Xu Changsheng was stunned, what was discussed just now?
He was dozing off just now and didn't hear anything.
How can this be done?
Cautiously said, "Changsheng...Changsheng did have some ideas, but he couldn't figure it out for a while, can your majesty repeat the question just now?"
Mom, I'm so tired.
He is only four years old, why is he playing tricks with a group of old foxes here.
This official is too aggrieved, the key is that he can't resign yet.
Just now he said something, but he was reprimanded by the admonisher and questioned by His Majesty. If he dared to mention it again, his ass would probably be swollen.
Others just want to be an official, so why does he feel like he's being kicked out of the market?
As soon as Xu Changsheng's voice fell, everyone in the Golden Hall froze, "Xuan Yilang, you said just now that you have thought about the matter you are talking about?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, why did the eyes of these people suddenly become so weird?
What was it that was discussed just now?
Xu Changsheng is the one being kicked out now, can he say that he doesn't even know what is being discussed?It is estimated that it is not a problem that the buttocks are swollen.
It's all his fault that he didn't stand firm and was thrown on his back.
Cautiously said, "Yes... I have a little idea, really, just a little bit, but I have to ask you to repeat the question just now, so that the elders can understand it."
Baiguan's expression became even weirder.
Xu Changsheng was flustered in his heart, what exactly were they discussing?
At this time, Changsun Wuji stood up, "Xu Jiazi, my Tang Dynasty general who has experienced countless battlefields has nothing to do, can you do anything?"
Xu Changsheng was taken aback, what... what do you mean?
He now has one head and two big heads.
Xu Changsheng cupped his hands, "Please explain clearly."
Changsun Wuji frowned. It stands to reason that Xu Jiazi is now an official of the crown prince, so he should help out a little bit, but why did he look at Xu Jiazi in a daze, as if he didn't even understand the problem?
He shouldn't be talking nonsense, right?
If so, Xu Jiazi would have to be convicted of contempt of court today.
Changsun Wuji said, "Now it's the time of the autumn harvest. In the borderlands, the Turks have repeatedly invaded and robbed the hard-earned food of our Tang people. Your Majesty has sent Li Jing to lead the army to crusade, but..."
Xu Changsheng narrowed his eyes. He finally understood why these people looked at him so strangely. He is a four-year-old kid who actually has some ideas about such military affairs?
An ordinary four-year-old child probably doesn't even know what war is.
But, now he was riding a tiger, so he gritted his teeth and listened seriously.
I am also recalling in my heart, the four years of Zhenguan, the war between the Tang Dynasty and the Turks?
His eyes narrowed, as if he remembered something. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Great Tang and the Turks went to war. The final result seemed to be that Li Jing defeated the Turks, Jieli Khan fled, and the Great Tang won.
In other words, even if he didn't say anything, Datang would win. It seems that it was from this battle that the foundation was laid for Li Shimin's name as Tian Khan. The trend of Zhenguan is a sign of the beginning of the prosperity of Zhenguan.
But now it is not a question of whether Datang can win the fight, but whether he can get off the stage.
Changsun Wuji continued, "Li Jing's army did defeat the Turks at the beginning and won a lot of victories, but now, our army is chasing after the victory, but there are frequent situations. Our army is not good at fighting at night, and the Turkic army seems to have night vision ability, which makes our army exhausted. Second, as our army pursues and penetrates into the enemy, our soldiers suddenly have a large-scale strange disease, dizziness, Tinnitus disgusting..."
"Our army managed to achieve such a great victory. If we don't take advantage of the victory to beat up the Turkic people, they will definitely come to rob our border people of food in the coming year."
"So the question is, do we put up with those two issues now and play the game, or come back to defense."
After Changsun Wuji finished speaking, someone said, "These two problems are not unique to this year. In the past, the Turks often came to rob our border people of food. Although our army can beat them away every time, because of the above two problems , were all successfully escaped by the Turks.”
This is an old problem, which has troubled Datang for a long time and has not been resolved.
Every autumn, the issue of Turks robbing food will be put on the court.
But every time troops were sent out, the invading Turkic people could not be killed no matter how hard they were fought. On the contrary, Datang spent a lot of money because of the mobilization of troops, and the gains outweighed the losses.
Today, Li Jing has won consecutive victories, but still has to face this problem.
Li Shimin looked at Xu Changsheng, "Xuan Yilang, now let me tell you a little bit about your opinion."
At this moment, Xu Changsheng was already stunned.
Our army can only pursue during the day, but not at night?At night, the Turks came back, as if they could see at night?
This question... Could it be night blindness?
As far as Xu Changsheng knew, many people in ancient times had night blindness, and night blindness was caused by a long-term lack of vitamin A.
As for going deep into the enemy, a large-scale strange disease broke out among our soldiers, dizziness, tinnitus and nausea...
This is also easy to explain, the terrain of Turkic is higher than that of Tang Dynasty, and looking at these symptoms, if the guess is correct, it should be... altitude sickness, and altitude sickness is not incurable.
"Xuan Yilang?"
Xu Changsheng raised his head with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
Everyone's eyes were on Xu Changsheng. They wanted to see how evil a child who had never been on a battlefield before he dared to point fingers at the war.
"Xuan Yilang, tell me about your thoughts." Li Shimin said.
No wonder Li Shimin's complexion has not been very good-looking. It turns out that he has encountered something that has not been resolved.
Xu Changsheng saw it clearly, so he had confidence, so he wasn't afraid.
The little head flicked, "Your Majesty, I do have some ideas, but I am still young, and I really don't know anything about things on the battlefield."
Everyone was taken aback, what is the meaning of this?
Isn't Xu Jiazi's words contradicting himself?
Don't know anything about war, but have ideas?
Some people have already raised objections, "Xuan Yilang, this is the place where the court discusses important matters, I hope you think twice before acting."
He thought that Xu Changsheng came out on his own initiative just now, and fell because he was too anxious. He never thought that Xu Changsheng fell out by himself because he fell asleep, and he was more confused than anyone else.
Xu Changsheng said with a smile when he heard the words, "My lord's words are very true. Although Changsheng is young, he still understands."
Didn't you even see him trembling with fright just now?
He was scared back when he wanted to resign.
Xu Changsheng continued, "Your Majesty, although I don't understand warfare, I can use scientific methods to solve two problems in our army."
Xu Changsheng started throwing bombs again, which silenced the whole hall.
Xu Jiazi said he could solve the above two problems?
Does he know how long Datang has been confused by these two questions?
Some people opened their mouths, but they still didn't say anything in the end. Xu Jiazi is indeed a bit of a demon, so let's wait and see how he solves these two problems.
Especially the military generals in the hall, you look at me, I look at you, they have all led troops to fight, how to solve these problems?
Cheng Yaojin stood up, "Xu Jiazi, why don't you tell me quickly."
Many people nodded. They found that this Xu family son loves to show off, and every time he got their appetite up, he would start to slow down. If it was their own child, he would have been hung up and beaten.
Xu Changsheng thought, is he going to make meritorious service again?But he doesn't want to be an official anymore.
Hey, it's not good to be promoted too quickly, it's okay to let him be an official who doesn't go to court.
Xu Changsheng raised his head, "Everyone, these two problems of our army can actually be solved with scientific methods. For example, the first problem that our army cannot see at night is what I call night blindness, and the appearance of night blindness is Because the body lacks vitamin A, the solution to it is to supplement a large amount of vitamin A..."
"Wait, Xu Jiazi, what did you just say?"
A group of ministers are very confused, why can't they understand?
Xu Changsheng was also confused, how could he make sense?
It seems that he has to popularize his scientific knowledge on a large scale, but how can he popularize his scientific knowledge on a large scale?
He has taught a group of children in Xu's family a little foundation, and the others have only listened to his lectures twice at most, which is not considered enlightenment.
But now is not the time to think about this, it is better to settle the matter before us.
Xu Changsheng said, "Night blindness can be cured by eating more pork liver."
Pork liver contains a lot of vitamin A, so he said it so simply and clearly.
Baiguan and Li Shimin: "..."
The Xu family has raised so many pigs, so maybe they are here to sell their pigs?
How many years have they been unable to solve the problem, just eat more pork liver?
In fact, it is okay to eat more meat, but meat does not contain as many vitamins as pork liver.
Most people in ancient times had night blindness, and the most fundamental reason was that they ate less meat, were poor, and couldn't afford meat.
"Xu Jiazi, take this seriously"
Xu Changsheng nodded, "My lords, there is a scientific basis for this. Night blindness is actually a disease, and eating pork liver can cure it."
In this way, everyone can understand that since it is a disease, pig liver is medicine.
Xu Changsheng gritted his teeth, "Your Majesty, my Xu Family Village is willing to donate all the pig livers in my Xu Family Village."
Anyway, he also planned to expand the Immortal Restaurant, and he needed to kill a large number of pigs to meet the demand, so it was nothing to send pig livers to the court.
Seeing that everyone still had doubts, Xu Changsheng continued, "If it is successful, it will not cause any other problems if the soldiers eat pork liver."
Everyone was stunned, and it seemed right, even if it couldn't be cured, it was impossible for other problems to occur because of eating pork liver.
There is no need to think about this question at all, and Xu Jiazi still took the initiative to give the pig liver to the court for free.
At this time Tang Jian stood up, "Your Majesty, there is still a difficulty in this matter. Even if pig liver can cure night blindness, but now the weather is hot, and the fresh pig liver is transported to the front line. It may be rotten. How to import it?"
Everyone was also taken aback, this is indeed a problem.
Xu Changsheng smiled, and said, "In the past, it would have been impossible to transport fresh pork liver so far, but now there is no problem."
Xu Changsheng looked at Tang Jian, "My lord, I'm afraid you haven't eaten the spicy dried tofu and pickled pepper chicken feet from our Xu's supermarket, have you?"
Tang Jian, Shangshu of the Ministry of Rites, was taken aback for a moment. He was indeed refusing everything from the Xu Family Supermarket because Xu Jiazi stunned him in the hall last time.
Xu Changsheng continued, "If you pay attention to my Xujia Supermarket, you will know that the pickled pepper chicken feet and spicy dried tofu in my Xujia Supermarket are already sold in Datang Shidao. With such a long distance, my Xujia Supermarket has already sold them. be able to guarantee its quality.”
Many people were also taken aback. It's not that they haven't eaten these two things, but they didn't expect these little things to be sold in ten ways of the Tang Dynasty.
Can't help but ask, "Is this a scientific reason?"
Xu Changsheng replied, "Exactly, whether it's pickled pepper chicken feet or spicy dried tofu, they are all pickled, so they are not easy to be corrupted, and they are all vacuum-packed to keep them in a sterile state. Speaking of it, the half-year warranty is no problem at all.”
"Six months warranty?" Someone asked, although they didn't understand some things, they still heard the key things.
Xu Changsheng replied, "Yes, as long as the pork liver is made into a snack similar to pickled pepper chicken feet using similar techniques, the shelf life is still good for half a year, so the pork liver I provided to the imperial court will not be original, but It is made into a small packet of snacks, so that our army can eat it when it is delivered to the front line, and it tastes delicious, which can be regarded as an extra meal for the hard-working frontline soldiers."
Some people couldn't help swallowing when they thought of the snacks in Xu's supermarket.
The things sold in Xu's Supermarket are now well-known to everyone, and no one can boast about the taste.
Li Shimin thought about it, this is indeed the best way, even if the night blindness can't be cured, it can be regarded as rewarding the frontline soldiers.
Of course, the Xu family's pork liver is definitely not enough, he has to ask people to buy some.
He said, "What's the difference, everyone? If not, just follow what Xuan Yilang said."
After finishing speaking, he continued, "If the problem of night blindness can really be solved, then we will reward you for your merits."
These credits are naturally recorded by special officials. Even if Li Shimin doesn't say it now, someone will remind him when the merits are rewarded.
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, he probably got 100% of the credit for this achievement.
Li Shimin said again, "Xuan Yilang, how to solve our army's second problem?"
Everyone looked at Xu Changsheng in unison.
This was the first time he went to court, and he did not expect to behave like this.
Everyone has a steelyard in their hearts.
The happiest thing is Li Shimin, Xu Jiazi was arranged by him to enter the court against all opinions, and if he can make a difference, of course it will give him good face.
Xu Changsheng clasped his fists, "Don't worry, my lords, let me tell you one by one. Just like night blindness just now, the abnormal reaction of our army is also a disease, called altitude sickness."
With the previous precedent of night blindness, it will be much faster to accept.
Someone asked, "Altitude sickness? What is this disease?"
Xu Changsheng said, "I believe everyone knows that the terrain of our Tang Dynasty has high terrain and low terrain, but the land of Turks is higher than that of our Tang Dynasty, and our soldiers of the Tang Dynasty will appear when they suddenly enter a place with high terrain. Dizziness, nausea and vomiting, this is altitude sickness."
In fact, it is because of the high terrain and lack of oxygen.
But if he said that, he would have to explain what oxygen is.
Everyone nodded slightly, "But the climate is not acclimatized?"
Xu Changsheng nodded quickly, "Your Excellency is right, it is really unacceptable."
Now everyone understands better, not to mention going to the Turkic lands, when their officials of the Tang Dynasty take office immediately, and leave their original places, there will be dissatisfaction with the environment.
"But how to treat such a peculiar disease of acclimatization?"
Xu Changsheng smiled, "Our army has been in the Turkic land for a while now, right? In fact, the treatment can start from two aspects."
"One is to let our soldiers advance little by little, and gradually adapt to the Turkic environment. Some soldiers began to suffer from altitude sickness. In fact, they will recover after two days, so don't panic."
"Of course, this is the way to treat the symptoms of mild altitude sickness. If the symptoms are more serious... Changsheng said just now that this is also a kind of disease. Of course, the disease needs to be treated with medicine. Changsheng knows that a herb called Rhodiola can just treat this. disease."
Rhodiola?
Everyone was taken aback, none of them were doctors and they were not familiar with this medicine.
Li Er said, "It is said that the imperial doctor is coming."
Xu Changsheng also found a pen and paper to draw. The pencils he used had a realistic style of painting, which was quite different from Datang's.
The drawing was completed quickly, and then handed over to Li Er and the others for inspection.
"This painting is so vivid that people can recognize it clearly at a glance."
"Although this technique is different from our current painting technique, it is quite practical. It can be used in chasing murderers in Yamen, drawing maps, etc..."
A group of bigwigs have a lot of insight.
Xu Changsheng also nodded, the realistic painting method does have its unique features.
At this time, the imperial doctor came and handed the painting to the imperial doctor. Li Shimin said, "Can you recognize this herb?"
The imperial physician is worthy of being an imperial physician, and he recognized it at first glance. To confirm, he looked at it for a while longer, and replied, "Your Majesty, I know this medicine, and it is sold in Yunnan, Bashu, Gansu, Qinghai and other places. There are many discoveries, even more in the Turkic lands, but the name in the medical books is not Rhodiola."
Take a look, as expected of a professional, even the place of origin is clearly remembered.
As for whether it is called Rhodiola, Xu Changsheng thought, its name may have changed over the millennium, but it is fine.
Xu Changsheng said, "Turkic people can adapt to altitude sickness, one of the reasons is that they eat rhodiola as a vegetable, and it is right."
Li Shimin asked the imperial doctor again about the role of rhodiola.
Although the imperial doctor's answer did not say that it can treat altitude sickness, eating more is also beneficial.
With a big wave of his hand, he said, "Send people to collect a large amount and replace part of the military rations with rhodiola."
Why not try to kill two birds with one stone.
With the order of His Majesty Tang, I believe it is not particularly difficult to collect.
Xu Changsheng also breathed a sigh of relief, but his sweat broke out in a hurry, and he never dozed off again when he went to court.
But thinking about having to get up in the middle of the night, my face really turned into a bitter gourd.
Xu Changsheng cupped his fists and returned to his position. There must be nothing else to do now, so he hid.
After what happened just now, he was completely awake from his drowsiness.
A group of ministers began to discuss related matters again.
Xu Changsheng sighed, being an official is hard and tiring, and being an official has no money to make, and it is not free to stand here.
I don't know why so many people just keep going to the court.
He really wanted to go back to Xujia Village, now that he thought about it, it was heaven.
In today's court meeting, the Turkic issue is more important, and the others are trivial matters.
After the court, Xu Changsheng was so hungry that his chest was on his back. No wonder he saw so many people eating bread in the morning. It turned out that they had already prepared for it.
Unlike him, because he got up too early, he didn't want to eat at all, so when he went out, he didn't eat a bite, and thought about going to the next court and then going home to have breakfast, but he didn't expect that when the next court was over, lunch was basically over.
On the golden hall, an old man shouted in a sharp voice, "Down."
Before the voice fell, a small figure was seen riding a big tiger and running away.
Everyone stared blankly.
Xu Jiazi ran too fast, right?
Li Shimin's face also twitched, he had never seen such an active runner.
Xu Changsheng couldn't control so much, he was starving to death, really.
As soon as he ran back to his place of residence, he shouted from afar, "Quick...quickly prepare some sugar water, I'm going to faint."
Xu Changsheng drank a few mouthfuls of Coca-Cola in a daze, pulled a few packets of chicken feet, and couldn't wait for the rice to be served.
Brother Changbai blinked his eyes, "Changsheng, what's it like to be an official?"
Xu Changsheng glared, "It feels like a starving ghost."
"Aren't officials always showing off their power and showing off their power?"
Xu Changsheng thought to himself, that is a senior official, he is now standing at the door as a junior official, and he has to call his lord when he sees everyone.
Don't think he is a seventh-rank official, but this is Chang'an, and anyone he pulls along the road may be a higher official than him.
Brother Changbai was very curious, "How does it feel to go to court?"
Xu Changsheng looked like he didn't mention it, what would it feel like to go to court?He fell on all fours, and was almost frightened by ginseng that he despised the court. Fortunately, he just knew about the problems he encountered today, otherwise he would not have come down.
If he was slapped on the first day of going to court, he would definitely become the laughing stock of everyone.
He sighed, but it seemed like he still couldn't quit this official.
No wonder people who resigned before did not end well. Xu Changsheng didn't believe it before, but now he believes it. Give it a try and stand up for a group of people to say that you despise the court.
It is difficult to become an official, and it is also difficult for him to resign.
Xu Changsheng ate a lot today, and when he was full, he sighed again, what should he do in the future?
After thinking about it, the Guozijian will start school soon, he must study, so he doesn't have to go to court?
The more he thinks about it, the more he understands this. He is still young, so he must focus on studying. His Majesty must think so too.
He had never thought of the Guozijian starting school earlier.
At this time, Uncle Xu Zheng also came back, looking at Xu Changsheng smiling, their Xu family also has an official.
Xu Changsheng knew what his uncle was thinking just by looking at his expression, even if he wanted to find someone to complain about.
If he dared to say that he wanted to resign, his uncle would probably call his great grandfather over immediately.
I had no choice but to change the subject, I really didn't want my uncle to ask him questions about today's court.
Moreover, the matter in the court today involves military secrets, and even the market has no news, it should be blocked, and he can't talk nonsense.
It's not that they don't believe the people of the Xu family, but if the people of the Xu family accidentally say something wrong, it will really hurt them, so it's better to keep their mouths shut.
Xu Changsheng said, "Uncle, I am writing to my great grandfather to ask how the expansion of the Immortal Restaurant is going?"
The uncle replied, "Your great grandfather can let you decide for yourself."
Xu Changsheng can also be the master of Xujiacun's affairs now.
Xu Changsheng thought about it. Originally, he only wanted to open two or three more fairy restaurants, but now he promised to send pork livers to the imperial court. He must kill a lot of pigs. Although he has a way to store pork hoards to ensure that they will not rot, there is no fresh meat after all. eat.
It's better to open more fairy restaurants, so that while expanding the fairy restaurants, it can also solve the hoarded pork.
His Majesty Li Er will definitely collect pig livers for the Xu family to process, and then send them to the front line, otherwise the Xu family's pig livers alone will not be enough.
Xu Changsheng thought for a while, then stretched out two palms, "Then we will open ten more immortal restaurants."
Even though ten companies seem to be quite a lot, but Chang'an is too big, and after being distributed, it can't meet Chang'an's needs at all.
And opening ten restaurants, with the popularity of their Immortal Restaurant, they can quickly pay back their capital.
Then you can make a lot of money.
At Li Er's birthday party, he said in front of all the officials that he wanted to build a concrete road from Chang'an to Xujia Village.
For such a big project, the people from their Xujia Village alone are definitely not enough, and they will have to hire people to repair it at that time, and it will all be money.
In addition, the manufacture and transportation of cement cost money, unlike their roads in Xujia Village, which can be repaired with a little effort.
Is the cement road in Xujia Village good?It must be good, but Li Shimin and all the court officials have read it, why don't they even ask?
Don't they know how good the concrete road in Xujia Village is?Don't know the benefits if the roads in other parts of Datang become cement roads?
No, they knew, and it was because they knew that they didn't ask, because they knew that building roads was a waste of life and money, and with the current living standards of the people in Tang Dynasty, it was impossible to build them at all, even if they asked, it would be futile Sentimental.
Datang is poor, so he knows that some things are good, but he can only look at them helplessly, otherwise, just like the previous dynasty, because of the new water conservancy, the people complained and complained.
Isn't the water conservancy project of the previous dynasty a good thing?It must be, if it is built, it will be beneficial to the people, but...the living standard at that time could not afford to build new water conservancy projects, just like the people in Tang Dynasty now, they could not afford to build cement roads at all.
Now, they mainly cultivate their own farmland.
When the uncle heard Xu Changsheng say that he wanted to build ten fairy restaurants, he couldn't help being taken aback.
Xu Changsheng smiled, now is the best time for them to vigorously develop, there are no competitors, and the market demand is also high.
It can even be said that the income of Immortal Restaurant may not be worse than that of Xu's Supermarket.
Xu's supermarket sold a can of oil, which seemed to make a lot of money at once, but it took a long time for others to use up a can of oil.
But Immortal Restaurant is different, people have to eat every day.
So, the uncle went to find a shop to rent.
Lease is the most cost-effective. If you buy it, the capital investment will be too much.
During the renovation of the Immortal Restaurant, Xu Changsheng spent some time drawing a huge picture.
The painting on it is wonderful, it is definitely the people of the Tang Dynasty.
