Da Wei Chun

Chapter 353
Outside the west city, Chengming Gate!
It was also the [-]th kitchen meeting, just as the sun was shining brightly.

After the imperial court was dismissed, Yuan Ke had a whim and said that he wanted to understand the people's sentiments.

It is impossible to let him go out of the city, not to say that there will be risks, but that the emperor's travel is extremely troublesome, and it may take half a day just to prepare for the ceremony.

As for the micro-service... what good thing does the emperor think?

Yuan Ke only wore ordinary clothes, and lay on the top of the city to take a look.He didn't even bring a few people with him, not even Liu Fang and Cui Guang, his attendants, but only Liu Teng and Yu Zhong, who were accompanying him, and summoned Henan Yin Lixian and Luoyang Ling Yang Jun into the palace.I am going to ask about the people's livelihood and conditions in the city.

Under the wall is Yuan Yue's Wuji Temple.The last time Li Chengzhi sold ice and organized people to shout long live is here.

If it was a kitchen meeting day in the past, this place would be the most deserted.Don't say that there are few believers in the family, and there are not many spectators.But today it was very lively, the tens of feet long stage was full of people.Further back, there are still long lines of dragons, stretching for nearly a hundred feet.And there are still people coming one after another, as if afraid of missing something.

Although there are many people, it is not chaotic. Compared with those temple gates in West Market, it is much more orderly.

After a closer look, I saw that there were many Taoist female crowns maintaining order.

"What trick is Xuanyi playing?"

Yuan Ke frowned and asked, "His temple is almost closed, why is it so lively?"

Liu Teng and Yu Zhong served the emperor every day, so they didn't know this, so they couldn't answer it.However, Henan Yin Lixian and Luoyang Ling Yang Jun followed behind him, so he knew a thing or two about it.

Yang Jun bowed slightly: "Your Majesty, today Wuji Temple is not recruiting believers, but selling goods, so there are so many people here!"

sell things?
The emperor asked suspiciously, "Could it be smoothies?"

Apart from rare items like smoothies, Yuan Ke couldn't think of anything worth grabbing by the common people?

It’s okay not to mention ice, but when it comes to ice, as long as there is one standing next to the emperor, everyone’s eyes are full of anger.

Even the grandparents are not enough, how can there be any ones sold in the market?

Li Chengzhi think about it?

The ice in the palace had already been sold out, and even the emperor had to save it.Baiguan can only find another way.

There are some sold outside the palace, and it is from the hands of Li Chengzhi.But it is not so expensive, a piece of ice is worth ten gold, which is twice as expensive as the one sold to monks in the palace.

Why?

Just because Li Chengzhi's ice is made of clean water.It is bright enough to illuminate eyebrows and beards, and it is clean without a trace of mud or fishy smell.

This kind of ice is at most used to mix some wine, freeze some cold soup, or directly make smoothies and send them to the house for consumption.Most courtiers are reluctant to use it as an air conditioner.

Even if you are willing, there is not so much.

Because even if he works hard, Li Chengzhi can make two or three hundred square meters a day.But in the past, the courtiers who were eligible to enjoy the ice more than doubled.It means that at least half of the courtiers have no ice available.Is it because they don't scold mothers?
Fortunately, Li Chengzhi didn't open his eyes to money, and said that he would only sell ten gold for ten gold.In addition, it is distributed and sold by the Ice Palm Division, which is the official channel, and the purchase is restricted according to the grade. Therefore, court officials above the fourth grade generally have ice.

Otherwise, the price of this ice would have been sky-high.

Therefore, there are quite a lot of praises for Li Chengzhi...

Yuan Ke couldn't help laughing when he thought about it, thinking that if the officials knew that this was Li Chengzhi's trick to make money, he wondered if he would beat Li Chengzhi to a half...

After thinking about his words for a while, Li Xian respectfully said: "Your Majesty, what is sold in the city at this time is not ice, but tofu. Because every kitchen meeting, tofu is only sold at half price, and each person only sells one catty, so the rush to buy it is very high." People..."

At the mention of tofu, the emperor turned black again.

He tasted it when it was first made and found it delicious.But Li Chengzhi said that this substance is quite harmful to the liver and kidneys. The emperor has a bad liver, so he was not allowed to eat more (tofu can cause hyperuricemia, and people with liver and kidney dysfunction will suffer from gout.).

Yuan Ke was dubious, asked Wang Xian and Xu Jian, and they all said that they had never heard of such medical theory.So he scolded Li Chengzhi...

Only four or five days later, Yuan Ke believed Li Chengzhi's words when suddenly his feet hurt so much that he couldn't even walk...

I saw the emperor muttering, as if he was scolding someone, but he didn't know who he was scolding.After waiting for three or five breaths, Yuan Ke pointed at the city again: "I remember that Li Chengzhi gave this tofu to Xuanyi for sale. But why is it only sold at half price, and the purchase is limited to one catty?"

"It's for the benefit of the people!"

Li Xian also insisted, "Tofu has been all the rage since it was first released, and the supply is in short supply. But just like smoothies, there are not many tofu made every day, so the price is so high that it is the same price as sheep and pigs. Beans salivate.

Therefore, King Ruyang ordered his servants to only sell at half price at every kitchen meeting, and limit the purchase to one catty per person.In this way, wealthy families and officials can’t bear to wait for a long time just for a catty of tofu, and they can benefit ordinary people..."

Is that so?

The emperor felt very surprised: Yuan Yue is also promising, when did he have such a heart for the common people?
Surprised, Yuan Ke inadvertently caught a glimpse of Yang Jun staring at the back of Li Xian's head, his face was full of disdain, and he suddenly realized.

Even if Yuan Yue was killed, he couldn't do such an act, or he couldn't think of it, or he didn't dare to do it even if he thought of it.

This is clearly the same as the price of restricted ice, and [-]% of it is Li Chengzhi's handwriting...

Yuan Ke didn't even know how to evaluate Li Chengzhi.

Let's say he doesn't love money, even the emperor dare to use it to sell ice.It is said that he has an eye for money, but instead of earning the money he got, he came up with weird ways to benefit the people?

I really can't figure it out...

Shaking his head, the emperor asked some more questions about people's conditions, food prices, public security, etc., while silently calculating.

Without it, Yuan Ke has already started planning how to celebrate Hu Chonghua after his birth.

At that time, it is natural to be famous in the world and reward the officials and the people.

Calculating the time, it will only be seven or eight months...

Yuan Ke waved his hand confidently: "Go back to the palace!"

Everyone responded and surrounded Yuan Ke to go down the city.

Just as he arrived in Wengcheng, he suddenly saw two yellow gates rushing towards him.Yuan Ke's eyes are not very good, and he can't see very clearly.But Liu Teng saw it clearly: these two were dispatched by him to Qingquan Palace not long ago, specializing in Hu Chonghua.

Seeing the anxious faces of the two eunuchs, their frightened faces turned pale, Liu Teng's heart suddenly jumped: This is clearly something serious!
Ninety-nine percent are Hu Yunhua, otherwise these two wouldn't be like this?
Could it be the fetus in Hu Chonghua's womb?
Liu Teng quickly went up to meet him, and asked anxiously, "What's the matter?"

"It's Mr. Hu, who just finished lunch and suddenly coughed up blood?"

Coughing up blood... Hu Chonghua was also poisoned?

Liu Teng's calf softened and he almost fell to his knees.

it's over...
