Datang: Longevity for Thousands of Years, Exposed by Xiao Sizi

Chapter 154 Li Chengqian’s plan, Qin Changye is nothing but that!

Under normal circumstances, Li Jing would never show such emotions. Keeping a low profile and protecting himself is his way of dealing with things, as can be seen from the Xuanwu Gate Incident.

But now, under the influence of alcohol, he could no longer hold on and was extremely worried.

At the morning court the day before yesterday, these old officials of the Tian Ce Palace who were unaware of the inside story were really worried.

"Yes, Your Majesty, this move of yours is truly amazing."

Qin Qiong sighed, took a big bite of the meat, and continued, "It can be said that the pork directly set off a blast throughout the world. This strategy not only deceived the people of the city, but also the civil and military officials of the whole court."

"High! It's too high!"

“Hahaha…” Li Shimin laughed.

He covered his bulging belly with his hands and his eyes were a little hazy.

"This time, I want to thank Master Qin. Master Qin, where are you? I... miss him too."

"I... don't know when he will come back, ah..."

Li Shimin forgot about the people running around outside the door and let out a long sigh.

He missed Qin Changye.

I hope that when Li Yan goes to Chuhe Village, he can find Qin Changye's trace.

…….…….…….
East City has completely exploded.

Those people who followed them never expected that this would be the final result.

But now the facts are before our eyes.

The four shops in the East Market are all packed.

Pork is in short supply.

And now countless people have poured into the West Market, all of whom have rushed over from the East Market.

At the beginning, the shops in West City were still a little confused.

After all, because of the pork issue, almost all the people gathered in front of the imperial city, so the originally bustling West Market became deserted.

but now…….
The crowd rushed over like a flood, it was amazing! !
They had never seen such a scene in their entire lives.

Immediately, all the shops in West City were ready to enter battle mode, thinking that today's business would be extremely hot.
But, there are too many people.

But none of the TVs were parked in front of their stores.

Instead, they rushed in four directions: east, south, west and north, all towards a newly opened shop.

This left the shop owners dumbfounded. After a little inquiry, they completely understood what the people were doing.

Grab the pork!!

People are scrambling for pork! .
The ones uploaded in the past two days have gone crazy, they are fake!!
Your Majesty is not crazy!!

This pork is really a delicacy!
The pork that God entrusted to Qin Changye to research was made for the people's conscience and to save the poor people! !

Pork, always the god!
The shop owners couldn't help it anymore. They howled evilly, smelled the aroma of the pork, and pounced on it in one breath, joining the ranks of the whole city in scrambling for pork.

As pork from the East and West Markets became increasingly popular, a large number of people moved from the East Market to the West Market.

Pork, this name resounded throughout Chang'an.

The people all heard what happened today and knew the truth about pork.

Blasted!

The people were all shocked!
They are totally crazy!!!

And this moment.

In the imperial city.

East Palace.

"Your Highness, this is roughly the situation. His Majesty is not crazy. Instead, he is using this move to change the prejudice of the people of Chang'an City against pigs."

"Your Majesty... He had planned this all along. We, including the Five Surnames and Seven Families, have all been fooled by Your Majesty."

Chen Shuda, who was in charge of the report, sighed a little.

Li Shimin was labeled with brain disease for no reason, but he knew there was something else behind it. After all, that was the King of Qin. As the King of Qin's enemy back then, he knew the horror of the King of Qin best.

But…….
Even though it had been predicted, no one had expected that pork would become famous all over the world through the hands of aristocratic families.

I'm afraid that when the five surnames and seven families learn about this, they will be furious.

"Gu, it's also a little unexpected."

Li Chengqian sighed.

Although he knew that his father was planning something big, this... was too big, right?
而且… … .
It also has a bad impact.

"I just tasted the pork. It tastes great. It's better than the signature dishes of many restaurants in Chang'an. It's a very good delicacy, but the pork is just Murasame."

"There's nothing wrong with the food itself, but the mistake is that everyone in the world can eat it! This is the biggest mistake of pork!!"

Li Chengqian's face looked a little unhappy.

Chen Shuda was startled, pursed his lips, and couldn't help asking, "Your Highness, what do you mean?"

He didn't understand Li Chengqian's thoughts.

Pork is so delicious, how could it be a mistake.

Could it be that because it was announced by Your Majesty, the reputation lies with Your Majesty and the King of Chu?
If so, it is indeed a mistake.

But Chen Shuda thought about it and realized that the Crown Prince in his memory was not such a person.

Full of confusion.

And the next moment, Li Chengqian spoke.

"I know your doubts. Pork... This delicacy can be said to be perfect. It can give a person's taste buds the ultimate enjoyment. For such an important delicacy, the emperor should not set the price at only fifteen cents per pound."

"Let me ask you, if you can enjoy the most delicious food for a day for just a dozen coins, how can other shops stay open? Besides, enjoyment will make people lazy."

"Father's move is inappropriate and will only cause many restaurants in my Tang Dynasty to close down."

"In my opinion, even if the cost of pork is low, it is at least 100 coins per pound. It does not compete with other restaurants of the same type. Besides, the people can also have the hope of earning money to buy pork and work hard. Only in this way can the benefits be maximized!"

Having said this, Li Chengqian stopped.

As for Chen Shuda, his eyes widened.

He was awakened by Li Chengqian's words!

It dawned on me!

yes! !
If you can buy the best food at a low price, who would still spend a lot of money to go to a restaurant to eat? This will cause the already established restaurants to collapse.

The pork industry has not yet been formed, so what will the workers who go bankrupt do?

in addition,

With just a little money, you can buy pork delicacies. Some people may only work for one day and then buy a few pounds of pork to eat for several days. This will cause Datang Infrastructure to slow down.

Pork prices,

The price should be set high so that people can have expectations! They will treasure the meat they bought at a high price more and work harder to earn money for the next pork meal! !
His Royal Highness's idea is really brilliant! At this moment.

Before Chen Shuda could react, Li Chengqian spoke again.

"One tael of silver and eight hundred coins [the economic system of this book, for the sake of convenience, one tael of silver is equal to one thousand coins] is the annual income of most people in the Tang Dynasty."

"On this basis, I think the consumption level of the whole world should be set at two taels of silver per year to meet basic needs. This is reasonable."

"Human nature can never stand up to scrutiny. After eating, they will have wild thoughts. So we can't let the people eat their fill. They will borrow the 200 coins. Then the question they should think about is how to pay it back, not wild thoughts after eating."

"Father's move has made pork so cheap that everyone can have enough food and clothing. Add to that the sweet potatoes we introduced earlier, and the people will no longer have to worry about going hungry. This was wrong... From the very beginning, it was so wrong!!"

Li Chengqian stood up, stood with his hands behind his back, looked into the distance, and said seriously: "Now, the people of our Tang Dynasty will be able to eat their fill in the future. Their thoughts will no longer be unified. They will no longer think about how to make money to eat every day. Their thoughts will become diversified and uncontrollable."

"This... the future will be a greater challenge for the Li Tang royal family."

….…….……….
The Longxi Li family is in charge of the palace.

The heads of the Longxi Li family, the Qinghe Cui family, and the Xingyang Zheng family looked at the three steaming pork bones and three portions of pork placed in front of them.

The pupils are round.

Can't believe it.

Swallowing saliva wildly.

Fragrant, this meat is really fragrant!!
If they weren't told that this was pork, they really wouldn't believe that the cheap meat that had been despised for thousands of years actually had such a side.

They wanted to be patient, they wanted to stop the saliva from their mouths, but they couldn't do it!!

The Five Surnames and Seven Aristocrats can decide the fate of the people in the world, but ultimately they cannot control their own body reactions.

"Is this pork? Is it that cheap meat?!"

"How can it be!"

"hiss……."

The head of the Longxi Li family took a breath of cold air, tried to cover it up, swallowed his saliva, and said in horror.

"This meat... This meat, how did Qin Wenyuan do it? Oh my God!!"

Old Master Cui spoke with difficulty and almost drooled.

Although Li Shimin claimed to the outside world that it was God who told "Qin Wenyuan", they were people at the pinnacle of power, so how could they believe what God told them? This was just an illusion.

Combined with the information we have about "Qin Wenyuan", it is very likely that this pork was researched by "Qin Wenyuan".

"I don't know, but how did Qin Wenyuan come up with this? This kind of pork... this thing, isn't this thing a little scary?"

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang also swallowed his saliva while speaking.

no way.

It smells so good, it really smells so good!

This taste, this flesh, this aroma...
All of them tempted them.

"Qin Wenyuan..."

The head of the Longxi Li family groaned for a moment, then gently pressed his temple with his hand, feeling a little headache.

When he heard the name, he didn't know why, but he felt a little scared.

What on earth did he do secretly?

Every time it appears, every time I hear this name, it brings me a new and different experience.

Plus the importance of the Big Dipper...
It’s so scary, it’s really so scary!

How old is Qin Wenyuan? How did he study pork?
Oh my God!
I can't even imagine it!!
"Master Li, please try it."

Finally, the head of the Qinghe Cui family could not help but said, "Know the enemy and know the enemy, and you will never be defeated in a hundred battles. This pork... this pork can make Li Shimin so crazy and make the people of the whole city so crazy. I guess there must be something extraordinary about it. It can make people call it cheap meat for thousands of years and then overthrow it today. I dare not imagine it, and I can't imagine it."

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang swallowed his saliva again, nodded quickly, and agreed repeatedly: "Yes, yes, that's it."

"Master Li, come on."

The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang rubbed his hands. If he hadn't been concerned about his face, he would have pounced on him long ago.

Cheap meat!

It can be said that this name is the most popular among this group of nobles, who use it to show off their status.

But now, the once cheap meat has become so delicious.

For a moment, they really couldn't bring themselves to lose face.

The head of the Longxi Li family looked at the two men, who were somewhat reluctant, but their eyes were full of unbearable hunger. He exhaled deeply,
Isn't he the same?
If it weren't for these two people, he would have eaten it long ago.

no way.

People live by their skin, not to mention that this skin is what the aristocratic family cares about the most.

Why…….
The head of the Longxi Li family sighed silently in his heart.

He pursed his lips, suppressed his excitement, and said slowly: "Master Cui, you are right, you are right, knowing yourself and the enemy, you can fight a hundred battles without danger. I didn't expect that today, we would have to eat such cheap meat."

"But for the sake of my family's inheritance, I will take the risk and give it a try."

The head of the Longxi Li family said.

As soon as the words fell, the heads of the Qinghe Cui family and the Xingyang Zheng family said yes, then couldn't wait to pick up the pig bone, opened their bloody mouths, and bit into it directly.

The moment the meat entered their mouths, their eyes lit up.

This smell!
This is soft and sticky!
This aroma!
They usually eat meat very carefully, after all, they are old and their teeth are not as good as before, but now, this meat...
It just slides away in your mouth.

awesome!
So beautiful!
None of the three people had time to eat meat.

After a while, the three pens and chopsticks were cleaned of bones, rinsed and thrown on the table.

Three people, three pairs of eyes, stared at the bones that had no oil left, still feeling unsatisfied.

"This meat... is nothing special."

The head of the Longxi Li family licked his lips with his tongue, swallowing up all the oil, and then spoke slowly.

"Indeed, it is just like that. It is not what is said outside. So." The head of the Qinghe Cui family swallowed his saliva and said, "Qin Wenyuan is just like that."

"That's it." The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang took a sip of water, but was reluctant to swallow it, for fear that the fragrance still lingering in his throat would be washed away.

"Well... Master Li, although this meat is ordinary, it may be difficult to use it to attack Erlang of the Li family. In this case, I will go back first." The head of the Qinghe Cui family stood up and clasped his fists.

"Yes, yes, Li Jiaxiu, I will go back first as I have some things to do at home." The head of the Zheng family in Xingyang quickly stood up.

The head of the Longxi Li family nodded and stood up to see him off.

He watched the two men disappear from view. At the same time, the head of the Longxi Li family wiped his mouth and hurriedly called the steward of the Li Mansion over.

"Hurry, hurry, go buy me another ten pounds of these pork bones! Go, hurry, go, or they'll be snatched away!!"

The head of the Longxi Li family gave the order anxiously.

When there was no one around, he could no longer hold back.

This meat is so delicious!!
