I tried my best to help Zulong, and finally got my wife

Page 173

Isn't it just to get rewards for trying to make meritorious service?

"Your Majesty, my lords, I have prepared a little food for the southerners, how about making do with it today?"

As the prime minister, Wang Wan actually forgot to arrange this matter, but this matter should be arranged by the Shaofu.

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Doesn't the Shaofu know that we are going to have dinner outside today?"

The Young Mansion, one of the Nine Ministers, immediately knelt on the ground and said, "My Majesty, I deserve to die. Meals have been ordered from the Daqin Restaurant, but I thought the King would move to the Daqin Restaurant to eat."

Ying Zheng gave Shaofu a cold look, and said with a sneer, "Hmph, I know it's a waste. If I have time to go to Daqin Restaurant, I will go to the palace."

"My lord, I didn't think carefully, I deserve to die!"

Shangqing of the Shaofu is a middle-aged man who has been serving as the sheriff of Shangjun before.

During his tenure, he traveled around to organize food and grass for the battle of destroying Zhao, and made great contributions. Then he was transferred to Xianyang and promoted to Shaofu Shangqing, one of the nine ministers.

Shaofu Shangqing manages the handicrafts and fields of the government, and provides various purchases for the royal family. To put it bluntly, he is the leader who does business for the royal family and Yingzheng.

But this power is very large, equivalent to the Minister of Commerce.

Ying Zheng looked at Zhang He. It was still Zhang Qing who was thoughtful. After working all morning, everyone was already hungry. Now that they have a meal here, they can always know how many potatoes can be harvested.

"Then hurry up and eat, all the lovers are starving, hahaha..."

Ying Zheng was very happy today, otherwise Shaofu would be in trouble.

After this incident, even if Yingzheng didn't clean up the Shaofu, the doctor Yushi and the prime minister would definitely clean up.

However, because Yingzheng has a very good potato harvest, the prime minister and the doctor Yushi may not go to clean up the young manor.

The cook of Zhang He's family brought over a dozen maidservants, and each of them held a large wooden bucket in their hands, filled with golden-yellow egg fried rice.

The rice was brought by Zi Nu from Sichuan, because Zhang He had some rice hidden in his house, and Zhang He regarded it as a treasure, so he was reluctant to eat it.

Zi Nu thought that Zhang He likes to eat rice, but in fact Zhang He likes noodles the most, and he feels that it is always good to eat.

It's just that Zi Nu didn't know that Zhang He's rice was hybrid rice seeds drawn by lottery. When those rice gradually produced a large number of seeds, Da Qin would really not be afraid of any race on earth.

With these two things, Zhang He can hand over the world map after the six countries of the Central Plains are unified.

Daqin drew out his long sword, and he could drive away the Huns who had just grown stronger, and the Yuezhi people who had grown stronger, all the way westward, conquering the countries of the Western Regions, conquering the Parthian Empire, and marching towards the Roman Empire.

Daqin's big crossbows and continuous crossbows, and then made crescent scimitars for the Huns and Yuezhi people, to bring endless disasters to those rod spirits and jumping gods in Rome...

Zhang He's cook personally filled a large bowl of rice for Ying Zheng and brought it to Ying Zheng.

"My lord, please try the egg fried rice, this is my master's new invention."

Ying Zheng nodded, and he knew that Zhang He was the best at eating.

Look, how much did he invent about eating?

Yingzheng picked up the pottery bowl and chopsticks, and the scent wafted out of his nostrils, which made Yingzheng's eyes light up. Good guy, I seem to have never smelled such a fragrant thing!

After Yingzheng took a bite, he felt the aroma and heat bursting in his mouth. There was the aroma of rice and eggs, huh?There seems to be meat, beef?

Damn it, Zhang He secretly killed the cow again.

But Ying Zheng looked around, good guy, the senior officials of Daqin, squatting on the ground, holding a big bowl, quickly eating fried rice with eggs, while eating, praised the deliciousness of the food, they have never eaten so good Things to eat.

After eating the egg fried rice, each person had a cup of tea. Of course, the teacups were made by Zhang He. There is no such thing as a cup yet, but cups are really convenient for ordinary people.

Ying Zheng couldn't eat enough, a big bowl of fried rice with eggs, a cup of tea after the meal, and a bottle of wine, he was really sweating profusely!

At this moment, he was reclining, looking at the mountains of potatoes in the distance, and said with a smile: "This is life, this is the life everyone in Daqin should have..."

Looking at Zhang He, who was greeting all the officials, this guy... no wonder he likes salted fish, this kind of life, the widow actually wants it too!

Chapter 281 One thousand dollars a potato, braised potatoes with beef

Stay until the afternoon hours.

The mountains of potatoes were finally weighed out.

Ying Zheng stood on the ridge of the field, looked at the little official in front of him, and asked calmly, "How many catties?"

The little official bowed and said, "To the king, it's [-] catties in total!"

Ying Zheng was stunned for a moment, compared to his guess, it was more than 1000 catties less, but this was all expected!

After all, Zhang He picked the best one, and the total weight must be less.

"Well, the widow knows!"

Then, Ying Zheng ordered: "Let Chen Gong come."

The current Chen Gong is temporarily acting as Zhi Su Neishi and concurrently serving as the Sheriff of Neishi County. Although it is a temporary agent, the power is already very large.

After a while.

Chen Gong was recruited. Chen Gong was still very young, about 30 years old, but he was honest, responsible and organized, which Ying Zheng liked very much.

This is a good courtier who talks less but does a lot.

"Chen Aiqing, these [-] catties of potatoes will be used as the seeds to be planted in the future, and I will leave them all to you. As for how to plant them in the future and how to maximize the benefits, it depends on your ability..."

"Chen Aiqing, you must always keep in mind that these potatoes are the foundation of the Great Qin State and cannot be shaken."

Chen Gong didn't expect that the king would hand over the potatoes to him. While excited, pressure came at the same time.

However, if he doesn't work hard, he won't be able to secure his hard-earned position in the upper echelon of Qin State.

After all, he is a surrendered general, and he also possesses the power of one of the nine ministers. I don't know how many people are jealous.

It is impossible for him to make military achievements in this life, but if the potatoes are planted well, it is not a great achievement, it is a great contribution to the country and the people.

"Your Majesty, I am willing to live and die with Tudou with my life. If Tudou is alive, I will live with you. If something goes wrong with Tudou, I am willing to die to apologize."

Ying Zheng nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "The widow will equip you with a thousand imperial guards, specially to guard the safety of potatoes."

What Chen Gong was most worried about was that there would be thieves or robbers robbing potatoes. Now that there are a thousand imperial guards, there is no need to be afraid.

"Thank you king!"

"Remember, the potatoes are obtained by Zhang Shangqing, if you don't understand, just ask..."

Chen Gong bowed and made another bow.

Chen Gong looked at Zhang He, Zhang He was considered a noble person in his life, without Zhang He, there would be no Ye Teng, and without Ye Teng, there would be no him now.

After returning home in the evening, he took a gift and went to visit Zhang Shangqing. If he could get Zhang He's guidance, the potato planting would be stable.

Afterwards, Ying Zheng returned to the palace with the two largest potatoes. These two potatoes were not to be eaten, but must be preserved, because this is a miracle of Daqin and a miracle of mankind.

As for how to preserve it, perhaps Daqin has this kind of technology and ability. After all, no tomb robbers or even national archaeologists can open the Mausoleum of Qin Shihuang until now.

Starting today, maybe five years, maybe ten years, there will no longer be such or that record in the history books of Daqin.

How many years has the king of Qin... starved to death, changing sons to eat, such a scene.

After Ying Zheng left, all the ministers and workers also left and went to their jobs to continue to shine for Daqin.

After everyone had left, Zhang He was still wandering around the farm. Ying Zheng had all the potatoes taken away. Zhang He wanted to eat a big dish of braised beef and potatoes, but he couldn't do it.

However, the diggers who dug the potatoes this time were all bigwigs from Daqin, who had never been in the fields. This time they dug potatoes with Ying Zheng, and it was absolutely impossible to dig up all the potatoes.

After all, things grow in the soil, and they don't have perspective eyes, so how could they dig them all out.

Zhang He summoned a few old farmers who took care of the potatoes growing up here, and said to everyone with a smile: "Everyone, please dig again, you must dig here inch by inch, and you must show the spirit of digging three feet! If you produce a potato, you will be rewarded with a thousand coins."

After hearing Zhang He's words, several old farmers immediately became excited. They planned to dig again at night, and they also knew that there were still potatoes in the soil.

It's just that Mr. Zhang really knows more about farming than them, and he deserves to be the auspicious person who can get potatoes.

Zhang He took a few guards and watched from the side. Several old farmers started to pick up hoes and turn over the land inch by inch from the edge of the field.

Time passed slowly, and after about a quarter of an hour, an old farmer shouted excitedly: "My lord, I found one here!"

Zhang He's eyes lit up, and he walked over quickly.

At this moment, the old farmer also ran towards Zhang He holding a potato the size of an egg in both hands.

Zhang He looked at the potato the size of an egg, and was speechless for a moment. He was so happy for nothing. Damn it, it's too small!

Just when Zhang He was speechless, another old farmer shouted on the other side: "I have a..."

Zhang He turned around and saw that the old farmer was holding a potato in both hands, which was smaller than the one just now.

Zhang He: "..."

"Young master, let me dig it too!" Xu Chu looked at such a small two potatoes, and made the young master lose two thousand coins!

Zhang He sighed, and the potatoes he got by himself became a luxury: "Whatever, as long as you want to, go dig it!"

Not to mention, Xu Chu and a few guards joined the old farmer's team and quickly dug up two large potatoes, one the size of a fist and the other the size of a wine bottle.

The land was turned over quickly, and Zhang He put a dozen potatoes in front of him, with a happy smile on his face.

Enough, enough to eat a meal of beef braised potatoes!

Xu Chu: "Give them money, and then go home with potatoes."

Zhang He walked out of the farm with his hands behind his back, and began to think about who to invite to his house to eat this beef braised potatoes tonight.

When he was about to return home, Zhang He whispered to Xu Chu: "Go and invite Miss Zi Nu and Mrs. Dunwei. By the way, if Mrs. Yao Jia is free, invite them together, and say that I cook for myself."

Xu Chu also wanted to eat braised potatoes with beef in braised sauce. Last time he had a meal with the young master, and he still misses it to this day.

Zhang He returned home, took out some frozen beef from the cellar freezer, and started cooking himself.

The cook next to him and the maid who helped the cook stood aside excitedly, ready to feast their eyes and learn Zhang He's cooking skills.

Zhang He is now the originator of cooking, because Zhang He invented countless cuisines, which greatly enriched the types of food for people in this period.

Even the descendant of Pao Ding, he is a master of culinary skills from hundreds of families. Now his title has been snatched away by Zhang He. He took his whole family and disciples to Xianyang from various places, and entered the old man Qin Bing. Daqin Restaurant, learning how to cook.

If they learn such a dish, after going out, all the big hotels and restaurants in Xianyang will treat them as guests.

However, they will never leave Zhang's mansion for money, they are in Zhang's mansion, and they will never leave in this life, unless Zhang He drives them out.

Zhang He prepared everything. Wash and cut the potatoes, chop the garlic, scallions, and ginger and put them together. Cut the beef into pieces as well. Add a small amount of refined salt and refined wine to remove the fishy smell...

"Young master, Miss Zi Nu and Elder Dunwei have already arrived. They are waiting in the living room. Elder Yao Jia has entered the palace. When he comes out of the palace, he will come to the banquet..."

Zhang He said: "You drive the carriage, go to the gate of the palace and wait. When Lord Yao Jia comes out, hurry up..."

"Yes……"

Chapter 282 Ying Zheng is Going to Zhang He's House for Dinner

When the future daughter-in-law and father-in-law come, it is natural to entertain them well. It is not enough to have beef braised in brown sauce, and then three or four big dishes.

Zhang He asked the servant girl to go to the street and buy a river crucian carp weighing more than three catties, and was going to make a steamed fish.

And let the servants in the family kill a fat sheep now, get the lamb chops off, and make a hand-caught lamb chop.

Finally, make sauerkraut soup, which is not considered meat, and it makes people feel greasy after eating.

Jang Hyuk is preparing ingredients, those who buy fish buy fish, and those who kill sheep kill sheep.

The entire yard was very lively, Miss Zi Nu also carried a bucket to help fetch water, and the weak old man had his hands behind his back, now in the yard, looking at the busy people, chrysanthemums appeared on their faces .

Yes, this is what a home looks like.

My daughter will definitely be very happy following this kid in the future.

When I have grandchildren in the future, I can retire and take care of the children at home. I must make sure they have more children. When the time comes, the house will be full of children and grandchildren...

Xianyang Palace.

After Qin Wang Yingzheng returned from the potato field, he recruited Sangong into the palace, discussed how to reward credit for this time, and made a charter.

Rewards for meritorious deeds and punishments for demerits are the essence of Daqin's laws and the key to Daqin's ability to win every battle.

Moreover, this time, the rewards cannot be rewarded just based on the number of people. Those who have made great contributions to logistics support must also be rewarded with titles, but only those who have made great contributions have this honor.

Therefore, the left and right prime ministers must include this item in the assessment of officials' performance.

Then there is the credit of the soldiers, which is naturally counted according to the head, especially those soldiers who died in battle, they should be rewarded heavily.

Yingzheng asked Prime Minister Wang Wan and Taiwei Yao Jia to quickly calculate the list of rewards and how much money the rewards would require.

Before the army entered Xianyang City, this task had to be completed, otherwise, it would be impossible to give an explanation to the family members who died in battle.
