Qiming 1158

Chapter 984 Are they born with only bran and pharynx?

Chen Kangbo's sudden question made Wang Qi stunned for a moment.

"what?"

Wang Qi, who was just about to eat meat, took a piece of pork and prepared to put it in his mouth. Hearing Chen Kangbo's question, he suddenly didn't understand, and he didn't care about eating meat.

He thought for a while, blinked his eyes, and asked, "Chen Xianggong, I don't quite understand, what do you mean?"

"I mean, Mr. Wang, can this kind of meat be prepared on a construction site like this? Why prepare it for us? Isn't it enough to eat the meals on the construction site normally?"

Chen Kangbo believed that the pork was definitely prepared for them.

Now it was Wang Qi's turn to be stunned.

"Why does Chen Xianggong think so? This is very ordinary pork. This kind of pork is the favorite of the people of Ming Dynasty. It is not expensive. It is also clearly written on the menu of the construction site.

"Not expensive?"

Chen Kangbo shook his head: "Ordinary pork is indeed not expensive, or even cheap, but it is not the pork itself that is expensive, but the seasoning. To make pork so fragrant, it requires a lot of seasonings, spices, and even frosting.

We all know the price of spices and icing sugar. In order to make this kind of cheap meat, it is necessary to invest such a large amount of spices and icing sugar. How can it not be expensive?Mr. Wang, it's just a meal, why is this so? "

After Chen Kangbo said this, Lu You and Yu Yunwen also seemed to realize something. After eating a bite of pork, their faces showed strange expressions.

good to eat.

But precisely because it is delicious, it is not normal.

So how can delicious pork be used for the farmers working on the construction site?

So many spices and icing sugar added, so many people's weight, the court will not lose money?
Even if a well-known person of great kindness hires people to do the work and can eat tons of dry rice, it is enough to be praised. Anyone who wants to come to their house to do the work can squeeze their heads. People who come to work are crowded out.

After just a little thought, Wang Qi understood what Chen Kangbo meant.

But this time, he couldn't explain it to Chen Kangbo with a smile.

He was a little pissed.

"Chen Xianggong, the pigs raised in the Ming Kingdom have been reformed and no longer have such a strong fishy smell. They taste very good, and soy sauce is not so expensive because of the cultivation of beans.

There is a state-run soy sauce brewery in Daming, which brews soy sauce on a large scale. It is not surprising that the people of Daming buy some pork and soy sauce every now and then to go home to satisfy their cravings. . "

"What's the matter?"

Chen Kangbo put down the tableware.

He didn't believe what Wang Qi said at all, he just thought he was making a swollen face and making a fat man. This kind of meat is not what these mud-legged migrant workers are qualified to eat. If they could eat this kind of meat, it would be a heaven on earth. .

However, Wang Qi's question made him stunned.

"Why do you think good meat is not for the farmers on the construction site? Can't they eat good meat? Is there any hard reason why they can't eat good meat?"

When Wang Qi asked this question, not to mention Chen Kangbo, Yu Yunwen and Lu You were also stunned.

They didn't expect Wang Qi to ask this question, so they felt very surprised.

Can't they?
Delicious meat, can't you give them to eat?

why?
Chen Kangbo didn't know how to answer this question, and Yu Yunwen didn't know how to answer it either. Lu You was stunned, holding a bowl of fragrant meat, but he didn't know how to eat it.

An embarrassing atmosphere pervaded them, but Wang Qi was not embarrassed.

He knew very well why these people thought this way and why they had such doubts, but he just reconfirmed the difference between himself and these people, and reconfirmed the difference between the Ming Dynasty and the Southern Song Dynasty.

I am very fortunate to be able to live in Daming Kingdom, to be able to join the Fuxing Association and become a follower of that person, and to have a group of like-minded friends.

So he raised his hand and pointed to his eyes.

"They have two eyes, just like us."

He pointed to his nose again.

"Has a nose."

He pointed to his ears again.

"Has two ears."

Point to the mouth again.

"And a mouth that can talk and eat."

He pointed to the peasants who gathered in the distance with rice bowls or stood, squatted or sat to eat.

"Is there any difference? Why can't they eat delicious meat? Why do they have to eat delicious meat only when you come to show it to you? You look at their appearance, as if they didn't Have you ever eaten this kind of meat? Are they hungry?"

Chen Kangbo and others involuntarily followed Wang Qi's direction and looked at the farmers in the distance.

They eat with big mouthfuls in their bowls, and they can really feel hungry.

But looking at them talking and laughing, not arguing or fighting, looking at the orderly queuing for meals, it doesn't look like the state of being hungry for a long time and suddenly seeing meat.

They don't fight or grab, and they can queue up to eat one by one without anyone holding weapons to deter them. This proves that they are not panicking, and they are not worried that there is nothing to fill their stomachs.

They trust it, they don't have a hard time on this construction site, and the atmosphere is good.

This kind of visual sense can't be faked, and it can't be concealed.

Moreover, on this late August day, it is still quite hot in the north, especially from the sun to noon. Although there is shade under the shed, the peasants still take off their upper body clothes, and there are many people eating shirtless.

Their bodies are naked, but they are not thin.

As far as I can see, I don't see any skinny people, their upper body is not very strong, I can't see a potbellied person, but I can't see a skinny person because of hunger, they are all quite normal. ordinary people.

Seeing such a scene, Lu You thought of some of the content described by Su Yonglin in "Hongwu Political Theory".

Seeing such a scene, Yu Yunwen remembered what he had eavesdropped on the conversation between Wang Qi and Lu You last night.

Seeing such a scene, Chen Kangbo suddenly burst into an unreasonable anger - he himself couldn't tell whether it was shame or anger, or just angry.

He opened his mouth.

"There is a system in the Zhou Dynasty, the emperor eats too prison, the cattle, sheep and pigs are all sacrificed, the princes eat cattle, the officials eat sheep, the doctors eat pigs, the scholars eat fish, and the common people eat vegetables. Offenders, Zhou Li will be fulfilled, the world will be at peace, and saints will try to restore Zhou Li until they die!

After that, rituals collapsed and music broke down, and the world was in great chaos, and people in the world knew the importance of rules!I know that if there are no rules, there is no way to form a circle. Without rules, the country will not be a country, and there will be no distinction between the superior and the inferior, and anyone can offend the superior, so how can the state still exist?How to govern?Isn't there a constant war?

People who don't respect the rules don't even respect the emperor, can they still care about your common people?It's not like slaughtering a city today, slaughtering a city tomorrow, and feeding on human flesh!Can ordinary people live and work in peace and contentment?Rules exist precisely to protect everyone from those who violate the rules! "

Chen Kangbo said angrily: "Since ancient times, up to three generations, down to the present, all those who have a state and dynasty are in good order, and the superiors and inferiors are clearly distinguished. This is the case in all dynasties! What's wrong?"

Chen Kangbo's words sounded a bit wrong, but Wang Qi understood it very clearly.

Although what Chen Kangbo said seemed to make sense, Wang Qi was not affected by such remarks.

"It's always been like this, right?"

Chen Kangbo was stunned for a moment, not knowing how to answer this question.

Fortunately, Wang Qi didn't need his answer.

He had a lot of questions, and he knew that Chen Kangbo couldn't answer them at all.

"In order to prevent people from being killed by riotous soldiers' steel knives, can you just watch them starve to death, freeze to death, and be beaten and kicked to death?"

"Why can't they be fed? Why can't they be fed meat? Why can't they be fed good meat?"

"Are they born with only chaff and veggies?"

Chen Kangbo was speechless, searched his mind, and went through all the profound knowledge, but he didn't know how to answer this question.

He saw that his subordinates were all looking at him, that Yu Yunwen and Lu You were looking at him, and that the entourages at other tables were also looking at him.

He felt very faceless, flushed and embarrassed.

Suddenly, he had a flash of light.
