The Golden County Magistrate

"Prime Minister Huang is so sure, aren't you afraid of saying something wrong?"

Tang Yun's tone was very cold, and her face was full of murderous intent.

The many ministers present were chilled in their hearts. They knew very well that this woman in her twenties would kill people without blinking an eye.

Being able to ascend the throne as an emperor, the blood on her hands was already countless.

Huang Liangge opened his slightly narrowed eyes and swallowed his saliva subconsciously.

When Tang Yun was still the eldest princess, she was his student. How could he not understand Tang Yun's temperament? Her heart was as tough as steel, and as cold as steel.

If he really angered her, let alone the relationship between teacher and student, even if they were brothers, wouldn't she be killed at will?

Although Huang Liangge was afraid, as the head of the civil officials in the world, how could he be a coward?

Besides, he felt that there was nothing wrong with his supervision of the emperor.

"Your Majesty, if I am wrong, you don't need me to ask. I will take the punishment myself. However, I don't think there is anything wrong with reminding Your Majesty to be frugal."

Tang Yun sneered.

It is true that Huang Liangge is arrogant because of his favor, but Huang Liangge is indeed a good minister.

"Okay, since Prime Minister Huang said so, I will convince you."

After that, she waved her hand gently.

Soon, a eunuch brought up two bamboo tubes, and a few spoons were placed on the wooden plate.

Normally, most of the eunuchs who come into contact with outsiders are eunuchs.

However, Tang Yun herself does not like eunuchs, so since she ascended the throne, she has greatly reduced the number of eunuchs in the palace. Most of the eunuchs are women.

Tang Yun pointed and said, "Hmph, everyone, try it."

Huang Liangge was a little surprised. He was obviously talking about governing the country with diligence and frugality. What does His Majesty mean by suddenly asking someone to bring up two bamboo tubes and asking him to try them?

The maid had good eyesight and quickly brought the wooden tray to Huang Liangge.

Huang Liangge looked at the bamboo tubes and then opened one of them.

"Hey, what is this?"

Huang Liangge hummed softly.

When he first opened it, he thought it was salt, but he quickly dismissed the idea.

Even if he didn't cook, he knew that salt was not so white.

"Prime Minister Huang will understand after tasting it. I hope he can accuse me of being a luxurious emperor." Tang Yun said coldly.

Huang Liangge frowned. Tang Yun was so tough today that he was really caught off guard. He was silent for a while, picked up a spoon and took a bite.

"Uh!"

Huang Liangge subconsciously widened his eyes, smacked his lips, and took a deep look at the white and flawless particles in the bamboo tube.

"It's sweet, is it sugar?"

"I've never tasted such pure sweetness."

Huang Liangge praised, completely subconsciously.

People of this era can only get sugar from fruits and grains most of the time.

When these officials are greedy, they can also eat some specially made maltose.

However, both maltose and fruit are mixed with other flavors.

Fruit is okay, after all, it tastes delicious.

But maltose is different. Due to the lack of refining technology, some maltose of this era has a sour taste, and some has a bitter taste, which is not so delicious.

Huang Liangge is a senior official of the Great Zhou. When he was young, he was a well-known talent in the Great Zhou and was knowledgeable.

But even he has never tasted such pure sweetness.

"Good stuff, I know a thing or two about the method of making maltose. No matter how it is refined, it will still have some other flavors. The person who can refine the flavor so purely must be extraordinary."

Huang Liangge sighed with his eyes wide open.

"Prime Minister Huang, is it really as delicious as you say?" Yu Jun was skeptical.

He himself did not like maltose, whether it was maltose with a little bitterness or maltose with a little sourness.

Originally, he was very surprised what the emperor suddenly brought up.

But when he heard that it was sugar, he lost interest.

However, after hearing Huang Liangge's undisguised praise, his interest was aroused again.

He knew that Huang Liangge was one of the few gourmets in the court and loved food the most.

Many restaurants in Beijing, big and small, had Huang Liangge's handwritten inscriptions.

This old guy also went to many restaurants for free.

Moreover, this old guy loves sweets and eats a few pieces of maltose every day to moisten his throat.

You say your majesty is wasteful, but in fact, this old guy eats a lot of sweets and cakes every day, which is much more luxurious than your majesty.

In any case, when it comes to food, there are really not many things that can get his praise.

If it were the restaurant outside the palace, it would be so praised by him., once it spreads, this restaurant will definitely have a constant stream of customers.

"It's not delicious, but it's so pure and sweet, which is rare in the world."

Compared with others, Huang Liangge is a gourmet, who loves to eat the most, and treats food more professionally.

He doesn't think that sweetness means deliciousness, and delicious things should have a sense of hierarchy.

Yu Du walked over, picked up the spoon, and tasted it, and then his eyes lit up.

"I'm not as professional as Huang Xiang, but I know that this thing is much more delicious than all the maltose on the market, and there is no disgusting taste at all, which is really rare."

"Did Lord Yu say that?"

He Jinyao, the Minister of the Land, was a little surprised.

He Jinyao is different from Huang Liangge. Huang Liangge himself is a greedy person.

But He Jinyao is a picky person, and he won't eat anything with a strange taste.

"I have to try it too."

After taking a bite, he said with emotion: "It is indeed different from the maltose on the market. This pure taste should be extremely difficult to refine, and it is probably very expensive."

The Minister of Land is actually the former Ministry of Revenue.

The money and grain of the entire Great Zhou are under the management and statistics of He Jinyao. Naturally, he is very sensitive to the price.

"I remember that the cakes that His Majesty gave us just now had no mixed taste. In addition to the mellow fragrance of the noodles, there was only sweetness. I think it was cooked with this kind of maltose as a seasoning." Huang Liangge pointed at the bamboo tube and looked at Tang Yun while speaking.

"Your Majesty, what else do you have to say about using such high-grade maltose to make cakes?"

Everyone present heard that Huang Liangge's subtext was nothing more than that this thing must be extremely expensive. Your Majesty used such expensive sugar to cook cakes, and dared to say that he was not extravagant?

Several other ministers curled their lips. It was just some cakes, but the old man was still insisting on it.

Everyone knows that what you eat and use every day is much more luxurious than His Majesty.
