Li Yuanying was in a good mood when he received Li Chengqian, and asked someone to hold a banquet in Fengtai Building to welcome Li Chengqian. Fengtai Building usually undertakes all kinds of banquets and has rich experience, and the prince's visit is not at all hectic.
After Li Chengqian entered the table, Li Yuanying asked people to serve rounds of appetizers first, and then changed the dishes round by round. After changing for thirteen rounds, he gave Li Chengqian a taste of the seasonal dishes.
Although Li Chengqian only ate a few mouthfuls of each dish, he was still very full. After the banquet was over, he and Li Yuanying took a walk in the palace to digest food. They were full of praise for the rich and layered dishes of Fengtailou.
Li Yuanying said: "The chefs of Fengtai Building are all people who have been immersed in cooking all their lives, so they can naturally figure out many ways to eat."
Since the development of Fengtai Building, it is no longer an ordinary place to eat. Fengtai Building will guide the people on what vegetables and fruits to plant and what livestock to raise according to their needs, and tell them which ingredients are already supplied and which are in great demand. The farming and animal husbandry arrangements are clearly arranged.
Fengtai Building has a rich variety of dishes, and new seasonal products are launched almost every month. In addition to holding agricultural lectures to guide the people to choose and breed, they also hold cooking lectures from time to time, so that people can learn some cheap home-cooked recipes . This kind of dishes is not in the consumption range of Fengtai Building, so it doesn't matter to teach everyone, so the chefs follow Li Yuanying's intention to start the class without any secrecy.
These things determine that Fengtai Restaurant will not be an ordinary restaurant. There are men and women who come to learn cooking skills. At first, the female relatives were embarrassed to come, but later it seemed that there were more girls before they boldly came here together.
It is impossible for a person to be poor all his life. Many people have received guidance or learned cooking skills from Fengtailou, and have a different feeling for Fengtailou. " as the target. Even if they have nothing to offer, when their sons and grandsons get rich, there will always be a chance to realize this small wish.
At the beginning, Li Yuanying was regarded as a fool when he went to Fengtai Building to provide three free meals for the Imperial College, but these things actually paid off in the long run.
The current Fengtai Restaurant has a completely different status from other restaurants and restaurants, whether it is in the hearts of ordinary people or in the hearts of scholars.
Li Yuanying accompanied Li Chengqian on a walk in the corridor of Prince Teng's mansion, and at the same time talked to Li Chengqian about the purpose of these arrangements. "Xunzi" says that water can carry a boat and overturn it. The people are not fools. They know who treats them well and who treats them badly. They will be grateful to you if you shout twice. You miss them What they need and what they want to do can really make their lives better and happier.
This year, most of the fields in Tengzhou have voluntarily planted Champa rice seeds. Although the yield has not yet been seen, it seems that this year will be a bumper harvest. The lack of water in some places has not affected the growth of Champa rice seeds. It seems that it is indeed drought resistant.
Without the usual guidance and organization, it would be impossible for the common people to use their rations for the next year to try out new rice seeds, even if Li Yuanying promised to protect their capital, they would not be willing.
Li Chengqian listened to Li Yuanying explain the plan of Tengzhou, and found that even if it was only a small step, it was closely related to and integrated with the whole plan.
Therefore, when making a plan, you have to take one step at a time, and you can't think about it once.
This kind of careful arrangement could not be what Li Yuanying thought. Li Yuanying has always been the most imaginative and unconstrained, and has never been down-to-earth.
Li Chengqian boasted: "Uncle Yao, you have a lot of talents under your hands."
Li Yuanying looked proud: "That's natural. Whether it's Sister Shu or Mei Niang, Di Renjie or Tang Sui, they are all amazing." After eating, drinking and chatting, Li Yuanying felt that he had almost finished eating, so he let Li Chengqian go to rest.
The prince stopped in Tengzhou for a few days, and followed Li Yuanying around. Tang Guan and Tang Sui, who decided to return to Beijing, also accompanied them all the way, showing Li Chengqian their practical achievements in Tengzhou.
When he first arrived in Tengzhou, Li Chengqian only felt that Tengzhou was more lively than other places. After walking with Li Yuanying for a few days and seeing the changes in the pilot counties, Li Chengqian knew where the excitement came from and how many people put in the effort. It is not easy to make the whole Tang Dynasty full of vitality!
Along the way, the uncle and nephew also discussed what Emperor Han Jing said. Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty issued an imperial edict, and there was a passage on it that said, "The engraving of engravings hurts farmers; ;Your pursuit of splendor and compilation will hinder women from weaving and sewing, so you can't be greedy for enjoyment and love luxury.
There is some truth in these words. If there is not enough manpower and food, and the superiors are still extravagant, it will be endless harm to the common people. Therefore, if you want to pursue delicious food, drink, fun, and fancy clothes, beautiful clothes, rare toys, and rare treasures, you must have the basis that the common people "have spare energy".
To achieve "surplus power", the most basic point is to have someone with food.
High-yield grain seeds, efficient agricultural tools, and animal power instead of manpower are all prepared for all of this.
Li Yuanying roughly planned the future development direction for Li Chengqian—
The first is to encourage everyone to get married and have children, to sing good lyrics and songs that praise love and family, and even arrange some love stories and folk tales. Do more social activities like the Lantern Festival, so that everyone can be active. establish a family.
The second is to raise more cattle, sheep, mules and horses. It is best to have one cow for every household to save human resources. This group of people has been working hard. The selection and breeding work at Xiangcheng Palace cannot be relaxed. It is necessary to select good-bred cattle that are easy to feed and able to work.
The third is what Tengzhou has been doing now. It is not easy to develop more efficient new agricultural tools and find more high-quality rice seeds. There are hundreds of cereal crops in the world, and in the end only the "five grains" are selected that are most suitable for consumption. So selection and breeding is a long process. Even if you find high-yield crops, they may not be suitable for food. For example, wheat used to be eaten less. Firstly, it is not tasty to cook, and secondly, it is not easy to digest and easy to get sick. Fortunately, "Qi Min Yao Shu" has It is recorded that there are several fermentation methods that can make wheat easy to digest. This Li Yuanying also asked Fengtai Building to think about and develop a lot of new methods, hoping to let the people get used to eating pasta earlier. After all, some places are more suitable for growing wheat.
The ideas provided by Li Yuanying are very practical and highly operable. Li Chengqian will be able to start work as soon as he returns with this group of experienced talents from Tengzhou. After listening all the way, Li Chengqian knew what to do after returning to Beijing.
After talking about the business, Li Yuanying thought about playing again. He thinks about these things for the sake of having fun, someone to play with him, someone to think of delicious recipes for him, and someone to make fun things for him, so that life can be enjoyable!
Li Yuanying dragged Li Chengqian to the beach.
After arriving at the harbor, Li Chengqian saw a dark sea boat at the pier. The two of them led their guards to look far away, and Li Chengqian counted down. The number of these ships was astonishing, and the specific number was more than he estimated.
Li Yuanying explained to Li Chengqian: "These are all ships booked by each family. They haven't come out yet. After we finish the drill and take a rest for a day, let the sea master escort them out to sea and take them out to find treasures."
Li Chengqian knew that Li Yuanying had found many good things on the sea road, so he didn't question whether he could find treasures by going to sea. He asked Li Yuanying: "Are we just here to watch the rehearsal?"
Li Yuanying said: "Let's go a little further. There are so many merchant ships here. It hurts to break them. It's not easy for boatmen to build ships."
Li Chengqian was a little surprised. How could it still be smashed
Li Yuanying led Li Chengqian around a bend, and walked to the coast with a wider view, and asked people to wave a flag to let the drill begin. After a while, Li Chengqian saw several more imposing ships appearing on the distant sea than those merchant ships just now.
The sea is rough, but because the sea is so vast, it seems calm from a distance. Li Chengqian doesn't have many chances to go to the seaside. Looking at the seaside at this moment, he feels that every pore on his body is being relaxed with the sea breeze coming towards him, which is extremely comfortable.
It wasn't until the sea ships completely came into view that Li Chengqian realized that there was actually a creature he had never seen before behind those dozens of sea ships. The creature only showed a sharp corner on the water surface, but as long as you can see the water waves around it, you can see that its physique is definitely not small!
Li Chengqian was puzzled: "What is that?" That thing might look as big as a sea boat!
Li Yuanying said: "Some of these big guys are called Shark Sharks, they are fierce by nature, and they will be very dangerous to meet; some are commonly called Big Fish, they are more docile in temperament, but they are also huge in size, and they are not easy to get along with if you get angry. Maybe It is because there is little food near the sea, and these big creatures are relatively rare in the coastal area. When Dai Ting was in the Wa Kingdom, he saw the Wa people hunting and killing these creatures, and learned a lot from the Wa people who lived near the sea. How to control these giant creatures, Xiao Li They often use them to practice their hands when they go out to sea, and they have already damaged several batches of ships." Speaking of this, Li Yuanying felt a little pained, "They are really prodigals!"
This time Li Yuanying asked Li Dejian and the others to lure a big guy back to show Li Chengqian. Li Dejian took the order to go to sea.
In order to deal with the huge monster, the ships on the sea gathered and scattered in an orderly manner, firmly restraining the amazing fighting shark. As a group of brave soldiers took turns attacking well, the blood soon stained the whole sea red.
Li Chengqian was fascinated by it.
At the beginning, he was the one who could take Li Yuanying to watch the battle between elephants and horses. Naturally, he couldn't take his eyes off this kind of fierce fighting at sea. This is too exciting! After the big guy is fully revealed in front of his eyes, Li Chengqian can be sure that at least many people can embrace it!
Bigger than an elephant!
Are there so many vicious big guys hiding in the sea
Li Chengqian asked Li Yuanying: "Isn't it dangerous to go to sea?"
Li Yuanying said: "Yes, it's dangerous, but I was very lucky when I went out last time, and I didn't encounter any danger along the way."
Li Chengqian thought of the beating that Li Yuanying had suffered, and the heat in his heart disappeared. Even Li Yuanying can't go to sea casually, let alone him as a prince. Li Chengqian was already very satisfied to be able to stand here and enjoy his eyesight. Seeing that the battle at sea was over, Li Dejian led his men to drag the scarred shark to the shore, and Li Yuanying dragged Li Chengqian down to see its true face up close.
Taking a closer look, both Li Yuanying and Li Chengqian found that this big guy had huge teeth. Li Yuanying was never afraid of death, and even reached out to touch it. After touching it, I felt that my hands were wet and smelled a bit fishy, so I quickly asked someone to fetch water to clean my hands.
The uncle and nephew walked around the Shark Shark in amazement, feeling that the world is so big and full of wonders. Du He also asked someone to bring a few water tanks, saying that he had caught a batch of shark cubs, they were still very young, their teeth had already grown out, and they could take them back for the emperor and grandson to enjoy. Just pay attention on the way of transportation, firstly, they eat meat, and secondly, they cannot be exchanged for fresh water. If you can’t get seawater, pour some salt from seawater into the water to make up for it, but you have to add it in proportion.
This method of raising shark cubs was created by those people who studied chemistry in the academy.
Speaking of this, Du He also glanced at Li Yuanying. These boring talents were cultivated by Li Yuanying's money. I really don't know why Li Yuanying hasn't made himself a pauper!
Li Yuanying said: "Yes, take it back and show it to Xianger and the others." He asked Li Chengqian if the kindergarten was open, and when it was open, he asked people to prepare more marine life specimens or live animals that were easy to feed and let them see the underwater world. How wonderful. Curiosity about the ocean should start from a doll!
Li Chengqian said: "I have already started preparations when I set off, so it should be just right to bring it back."
Then Li Chengqian began to hint to Li Yuanying to take him to see the specimen. In fact, as a resident prince who has never been to the seaside, he really wants to open his eyes!
