Li Chengqian came to look for His Majesty Li Er, and naturally he was entrusted by Li Yuanying. Li Yuanying stayed in the Guozijian for nearly a ten-day period, and got a general idea of the situation in the Guozijian.
These dandies like Du He love to violate the prison rules from eating to sleeping, which can be seen from the list of pick-ups they got from the cafeteria. Even though the cafeteria has improved the dishes, these people have never eaten in the cafeteria.
These people have an excuse to go to the gate to get food boxes, and naturally they also have an excuse to go home and sleep. It is very troublesome to manage, and the gate of the dignified Guozijian often becomes a place to deliver food, which looks very ugly. What Li Yuanying asked Li Chengqian to do was related to this: Those non-staff students and foreign students Guozi could not be supervised, but those who came in to study in a serious manner could no longer be allowed to go on their own, they must all be controlled according to the supervision regulations.
Naturally, Li Chengqian would not shirk such a serious matter. When he got the news of Li Yuanying, he approached His Majesty Li Er as soon as possible, and told His Majesty Li Yuanying about Li Yuanying's plan: on this holiday, he will post a post to invite officials whose nephews are studying in the Imperial College to gather at Daofengtailou. Let them taste the meals specially provided by Guozijian. If these parents are satisfied, they will no longer let people deliver meals to their nephews every day, and eat whatever they want, which will save both the time of the family and the time of supervising students!
More importantly, only through unified management can we really get rid of the bad habits of these dudes and let them integrate into the big environment of the Imperial College!
Even if Li Chengqian is the crown prince, he still needs to speak to His Majesty Li Er about openly contacting a large number of courtiers, so as to avoid any suspicion between father and son.
His Majesty Li Er thinks this is feasible. He said: "Then you go on this trip and tell your uncle and them well."
Li Chengqian complied, and went back to ask someone to prepare the post. Fearing that these people would not arrive, Li Chengqian deliberately asked people to add a sentence to the post to the effect of "This is also what His Majesty meant".
On the day of the official holiday, Fengtai Building, which was closed for rectification during this period, reopened, and people were sent out to celebrate with beating gongs and drums. When someone came up to say that they wanted to go in for dinner, the clever Xiao Er who was guarding the door was smiling. Said that foreign guests are not accepted for the time being.
This is really strange, the door is open, what does it mean not to accept foreign guests? Because they were all curious about what the Fengtai Building was up to, the number of people surrounding them increased one after another.
Fang Xuanling and the others got Li Chengqian's post, and it was about their son, so they naturally brought their family members to taste the "Guozijian special food" as stated in the post.
Many of the people around outside are idlers in the middle of the capital. I don't know anything else, but they know the rich and powerful families in the middle of the capital best. When a person came, these idlers exclaimed from a distance: "This is Wei Shizhong!"
After amazed, they will explain to those who can't recognize him, how great this person is, how big an official he is, and what great things he has done.
Soon, everyone knew that Fengtai Building had reopened, and all the dignitaries and dignitaries in the capital went to support it!
I heard that Fengtai Building has changed to a new owner. What is the origin of this new owner, so that it can invite so many people? !
When the crown prince Li Chengqian arrived, everyone was even more amazed. Even His Royal Highness the crown prince was invited here. Isn't this Fengtai Building too amazing
How delicious should the new cook cook
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and they all decided that they must try the food of Fengtai Building when they look back. Even if it's not the best, it's worth it to be able to sit where the nobles have sat!
Fang Xuanling and the others didn't know that they had acted as a signboard for a while. They met Li Chengqian and greeted each other. The female relatives sat in the private room, and the men sat outside according to their ranks, waiting for the waiter to bring all the dishes. It has been a few days since the school started in the Imperial College, and there are several daily delicacies voted by the students, and now they are delivered to everyone one by one, and everyone feels their appetites are whetted.
These dishes are not only delicious, but also look good. Although they can't be said to be very delicate, they look very appetizing. This kind of food can be provided to the supervisors every day. They really don't need to ask the servants to bring food to their sons. It is troublesome and ugly!
Li Chengqian greeted everyone with a smile to use their chopsticks, to try these uncomplicated but extremely delicious meals. The result is naturally satisfying whether it is pasta or porridge!
Even Li Chengqian thought it was delicious.
Li Chengqian waited patiently for everyone to eat and drink, and then asked them if they would like to let his son eat in the Imperial College with other supervisors.
Fang Xuanling and others sent their son there, naturally they wanted him to learn well. In the past, people thought that those things were really unpalatable, so people gave them food. Now that the taste has been greatly improved, who wants to go to such trouble? Everyone naturally agreed, saying that they would not let anyone deliver food to their son in the future, and promised to educate their son to abide by the prison rules.
Only then did Dong Xiaoyi come out to speak on behalf of Li Yuanying.
Dong Xiaoyi first explained that now Fengtai Building provides two meals a day to Guozijian with a fixed number, and prepares and distributes meals according to the roster every day.
Then Dong Xiaoyi saw him poorly and talked about today’s topic: it’s okay to add people to the roster, but I hope that each family can add names at their own expense. After all, your son didn’t come to eat before, and now he’s coming again. Cooks and helpers The daily workload will increase, and the cost of ingredients will also increase!
The children of poor families have no money, and the boss doesn't care about them. Don't you have money if you are an official appointed by the imperial court? Shouldn't he pay for his son's share? How much to give, you can figure it out, how much you usually spend on your son's food plan, just give as much as you want.
Now everyone understands that this is a grand banquet, first let you eat and drink, and then reason with you, after the lecture, you will have to pay! In many cases, it is not scary to clearly mark the price, but it is scary to "do it as you see it". This Fengtai Building invited the prince, and the people behind it obviously have a very strong relationship with the prince. Are you embarrassed not to give it? Do you have the nerve to give less
But I said everything just now, and it was too late to repent. Changsun Wuji also has a nephew in the Guozijian. He is Li Chengqian's uncle, so of course he would not save Li Chengqian's face. He very readily stepped forward to add a name to his nephew, generously filling in a large number, and it seemed unintentional when he finished filling it out. Call out the number and say it will be delivered later!
This is totally a very dedicated childcare!
When everyone heard Changsun Wuji's yell, they all cursed in their hearts: Old thief Changsun! ! !
This shameless old thief doesn't care if he wants to support the prince, but he still shouts out, lest others will not know how much he has given. Now it's all right, the people behind will have to give it by comparison, it will be hard not to save face! Only those with low grades and poor family backgrounds are embarrassed to reduce some.
Dong Xiaoyi was delighted to see more and more "name money" recorded on the roster.
Although it is still a bit difficult to use this money to provide food and drink for two thousand people, it is much better than paying for it all by His Highness himself.
Next, Fengtailou will name it as "Guozijian's special food", and it will not be a problem to turn Fengtailou into "the first building in Chang'an". The output of Sunflower Garden and the other two Zhuangzi can also be fully utilized. stand up!
In the future, things like Gaochang wine and Qianjin tea would not have to be sold in Qianjintang all day long. Li Yuanying valued Sun Simiao very much, and he didn't want to let too many mundane things affect Sun Simiao's medical research work!
Originally, Li Yuanying wanted to take over the food supply of the Imperial College, but Dong Xiaoyi thought it was a big loss, but now Dong Xiaoyi felt that the deal was a bargain.
Let's see, these "parents" are covering the cost now, so we can't lose too much. The mouths of the 2,000 people in the Guozijian can act as live advertisements, and every day they can judge a signature dish that "thousands of supervisors think it is delicious"!
After this year's imperial examination, if someone in the Imperial College passed the exam, these dishes can be placed on a table of "jinshi seats"; Anyway, the "Zhegui banquet" is exclusively provided by Fengtai Building to the Imperial College, and the title must have been eaten, so it can't be regarded as a fake!
The more Dong Xiaoyi thought about it, the more excited he became, and he wished that the Spring Festival would start soon, and that the Guozijian would get a few Jinshi exams early, so that he could follow Li Yuanying's instructions to make a fuss about it!
As for whether it will be said that it is competing with the people for profit, that is definitely not the case! This is all to provide meals for the supervising students of the Imperial College! If you really want to "compete for profit", who can give so many people to eat and drink for two thousand inmates? You you on the line!
The "Hongmen Banquet" for the parents of the assassination students of the Guozijian ended successfully. When Li Chengqian returned, he was still a little ashamed. But when the embarrassment was over, Li Chengqian felt quite happy again.
Usually, Li Chengqian was taught a lot by these people, and he could see how aggrieved they were when they were clearly devastated but could only obediently give money.
Back in the East Palace, Li Chengqian went to see his son to study in person. His Majesty Li Er invited Li Gang as his teacher when he was a child. A few years later, Li Gang passed away. This memory can't be called beautiful. After all, he was a playful and troubled age at that time. How could he calm down and study
Because of this, Li Chengqian was still hesitant about asking Xiao Deyan to be Li Xiang's teacher, but he hadn't decided whether to speak, Li Yuanying had already helped him ask His Majesty Li Er for him to come. Li Yuanying was very enthusiastic, and Li Chengqian was not willing to let him down, so he sincerely helped Li Xiang prepare the apprenticeship ceremony.
Seeing Xiao Deyan who was praised by Li Yuanying endlessly, Li Chengqian was relieved a lot: Xiao Deyan didn't look old, he was very energetic, and his body was also handsome. It is indeed a very good teacher candidate.
When Li Chengqian walked to the Hongwen Hall, it happened that Xiao Deyan had finished lecturing to Li Xiang.
Li Chengqian went in and asked Li Xiang a few questions about his homework. Li Xiang's stuttering became more and more sharp now, and he answered Li Chengqian's exams fluently.
Li Chengqian praised his son a few words, sent him to play, and stayed to talk to Xiao Deyan.
Li Chengqian mainly talked to Xiao Deyan about what Li Yuanying did after he went to the Imperial College. I don't know how Li Yuanying listened to the class. Anyway, his visit can be regarded as allowing the students in the Imperial College to eat meat.
Xiao Deyan smiled and said: "Food is the most important thing for the people, so it is normal for His Royal Highness Prince Teng to care about food first."
With Li Yuanying as the hub, Li Chengqian chatted with Xiao Deyan for a long time, and asked Xiao Deyan to recommend more old disciples to the Hongwen Museum, whether they want to repair books or do some errands, the court will always lack real talents.
Xiao Deyan felt that Li Chengqian had more and more minds that a prince should have, compared to before he was arranged to study in the Wei Palace, he readily agreed.
Li Chengqian was talking with Xiao Deyan, and His Majesty Li Er also heard about what happened in Fengtai Tower. After he thought for a while, he made things clear: Li Yuanying didn't just ask Li Chengqian to post a post to invite people to try the dishes, but he wanted to ask for money from parents like Changsun Wuji!
Obviously only Li Yuanying could do this kind of thing.
Fortunately, Li Chengqian is still the crown prince, after knowing Li Yuanying's plan, he is willing to help him out!
His Majesty Li Er felt that Fang Xuanling and the others would say behind his back that he connived at his son and younger brother's partnership to deceive others! However, it was indeed for the children of the impoverished families that the prison students paid for their food, clothing, housing and transportation. Fang Xuanling and the others wanted to send their sons there, so asking them to pay some money was not considered cheating them. Who told them to spoil their son so much? If they don't bring food to their son, they don't need to give this "name money".
The more His Majesty Li Er thought about it, the more he felt that his son and younger brother had nothing to do with it.
His Majesty Li Er hadn't seen that wretched brother for several days. His Majesty Li Er was really worried. After finishing the government affairs on the second day, he proposed to Fang Xuanling and the others: "The weather is nice, why don't we go to the Imperial College for a walk."
