Father can be an enemy country

Chapter 258

After school, Zhu Zhen rode a bull back to the palace, but was caught by the prince and asked him to go to Chunhe Palace for dinner.

The Crown Princess Chang also cooked for him herself, and cooked him a large table of dishes, but it looked a little rustic.

"Sixth brother, try sister-in-law's handicraft." Chang brought a plate of black rice with a smile on his face, which looked like burnt rice.

"This is?" Lao Liu looked confused.

"This is the fish cooking rice from our hometown!" Chang put the plate on the table, and said proudly: "Mix the rice and fish together and cook, the rice has the fragrance of fish, the freshness of fish and the taste of fish." So soft, I have learned from my mother for a long time."

"Oh, it's fish cooking rice..." Zhu Zhen was stunned, thinking, I wouldn't see it unless you told me.

'And this craft doesn't seem to be learned from the mother's mother, but it seems to be taught by an old Indian chef! 'His Royal Highness the King of Chu complained frantically in his heart.

The sister-in-law, the tiger girl of Jiangmen, served a bowl of 'fish cooking rice' herself, and then added a piece of black and yellow rice crust that had been battered and said: "The most essential thing is this layer of crispy crispy crispy rice, Sixth Brother, try it. "

"Well, thank you, sister-in-law." Zhu Zhenqiang took it with a smile.

"Try it..." The sister-in-law looked at the sixth child expectantly, seeing that he was still refusing to put a spoonful into his mouth, she couldn't help laughing and said, "Sister-in-law has to feed such a big child?"

"No need..." Lao Liu knew that he couldn't escape, and thought to himself that I had eaten dog leftovers before, how could this be more unpalatable?
He resolutely sent a spoonful to his mouth.

Damn, it's even more unpalatable...

He didn't taste the freshness and softness of the fish meat at all, but he could taste the earthy smell of the fish and the burnt bitterness of the crispy rice.

Thanks to the fact that His Royal Highness the King of Chu has endured hardships and had to eat, otherwise he would not be able to swallow it.

"How does it taste? Is there any real inheritance from the mother?" asked the sister-in-law Qi Ji.

The sixth child nodded with a smile and gave a thumbs up.

"Haha, as long as the sixth brother likes it, I will come to eat often in the future, and my sister-in-law will make it for you." Only then did Chang happily say: "You two brothers eat first, and I will go to the back to make some soup."

"Hey, good, come to eat often." Zhu Zhen smiled and watched his sister-in-law leave.

Then the two brothers breathed a sigh of relief.

"Do you know how big brother has been living recently?" Zhu Biao sighed to the sixth son.

"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are comparable to my mother's concubine." Zhu Zhen said with a sympathetic expression: "If you say you don't know how to cook, just don't do it. But her mother's love explodes every now and then, and she insists on cooking me a delicious meal." , the euphemistic name is "reward from the gods."

"Well, your sister-in-law was not like this before. She has never been in the kitchen for two and a half years of marriage, and for some reason, she suddenly fell in love with cooking." The prince gave a helpless smile, and explained to the sixth child:
"I just asked someone to come back and let me know that you are coming to eat at home and prepare well. I didn't expect her to cook herself."

"That's also my sister-in-law's great love for me." The sixth son said very sensiblely.

"You eat these dishes." The prince pointed to a few dishes that were slightly better in appearance but not too strong, and said in a low voice: "Usually Lu is in charge of the meals, and these dishes should be cooked by her .”

Zhu Zhen cast a sympathetic look at his eldest brother, what kind of life are you living?Anyway, most of the time, I still eat the dishes cooked by the cook.

However, for the sake of being polite, he picked up a chopstick of the fleshy tofu cooked by his concubine Lu's family. Unexpectedly, when he ate it, it was crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour, and delicious.

It's just that the color of the sweet and sour sauce is too dark, and the knife is abstract, so the appearance is very poor.

"Is it delicious?" The eldest brother smiled happily, and finally felt elated.Then he said in a low voice: "Lu's cooking is full of color and fragrance, but after your sister-in-law started cooking, only the fragrance and taste are left."

"Oh." Zhu Zhen nodded, he somewhat understood why Lu's family would be righted after his sister-in-law disappeared in the future.

Real Nima is too good at it.

~~
While eating, the prince told the sixth child what happened today.

He also praised him and said: "You have helped the emperor a lot, not only this court meeting, but also in the future - 'prohibited without authorization', this sentence, the emperor has already ordered someone to engrave it on the wall of the Hall of Martial Arts. "

"That's what my master said, and I'm just a messenger." Zhu Zhen said unscrupulously.

"Mr. Liu studies heaven and man, but this is not his idea." Zhu Biao shook his head slightly. When he was in the Hall of Martial Arts, he was a little strange. When he returned to the Hall of Wenhua, he asked Song Lian for advice.Mr. Song determined that this was not what Liu Bowen said.

"Brother and Mr. Song are looking at people with old eyes. Shibie will look at you with admiration for three days. My teacher is a person who has died once. He has discovered a lot and has entered a new realm." Zhu Zhen said eloquently.

"Has your lord changed?" The prince asked thoughtfully.

"That's right, it's true that he has changed a lot now." Zhu Zhen nodded vigorously.

"Well, anyway, after this time, the local government should be able to stop for ten or eight years." The prince sighed softly: "It's just that the father took the opportunity to divide the power of the provincial yamen into three divisions. The third division is caught up in arguing."

"It will definitely." Zhu Zhen said without hesitation: "The three monks have no water to eat."

"I see it that way too." The prince's expression tightened, and he asked, "Does Mr. Liu see it that way too?"

"Well, yes, yes, yes." Zhu Zhen hurriedly pulled up the banner and said: "But brother, don't worry too much. My master said that the world will be divided for a long time, and it will be united for a long time. There is nothing to be nervous about. If it is inconvenient in the future, Just add another high-ranking official to the provinces?"

"Add another high-ranking official..." The crown prince pondered for a moment, and then he said with a smile: "It's a good idea, so that the three departments are relatively independent, and the power will not be over-centralized like the province; there is also a head of the province who makes overall decisions. As for prevarication, it's a pity that a wise man like Mr. Liu will no longer come out of the mountain."

"Hey, he's just talking nonsense now." Zhu Zhen said with a wry smile, "Brother, let him go."

"Okay." Although the crown prince said so, he still couldn't help asking: "What else did your master say? Tell the elder brother to listen."

"He said..." Zhu Zhen scratched his head, scratched his stomach and said:

"He said one thing and one thing. Your father is really messed up in terms of financial management. He not only copied the financial system of the Yuan Dynasty, but also changed it to be even worse...I have never seen a more primitive financial system than this dynasty."

"Mr. Liu is very insightful." The crown prince said deeply: "Father's original intention is to reduce the burden on the common people, and let the prefectures and counties directly distribute the taxes and food to the yamen or guards in need. The taxes and food in such a county have to be distributed. If there are more than a dozen places, can the accounts not be confused?
"The reason why the empty printing case broke out is actually largely due to this chaotic financial system."

"That's right. Moreover, the tax revenue that the Ministry of Households can directly control is so small that it is very difficult for the court to do anything. It is no wonder that the emperor was forced to issue treasure notes." Zhu Zhen nodded.

"Then does your master have any good ideas?" The prince looked at Zhu Zhen with piercing eyes.
