Hearing Gao Lishi's question, Chen Buyi bowed slightly and said to Emperor Xuanzong: "Mr. Qi, the conditions here are simple and cannot be compared with Chang'an City. In a hurry, he could only stew a pot of mutton, cabbage, and some oil cakes."

Xuanzong was not picky, and nodded with a smile and said, "It's hard for you."

"Please go into the house and rest for a while. I will prepare the meal now."

"No, the house is so boring that it is not as good as here. Just eat outside here," said Xuanzong, and sat down next to a stone table.

Seeing that Emperor Xuanzong was so easy-going, Wang Zheng and others felt relieved and hurriedly started serving dishes on the top.

A small pot of stewed mutton and cabbage was served.

In fact, in front of Xuanzong, there was basically mutton in this pot, only a little cabbage.

Gao Lishi carefully scooped a bowl and placed it in front of him.

"Your Majesty, try it."

Xuanzong picked it up and did not rush to eat it, but took a small sip of mutton soup first.

Then he laughed.

"Yeah, it's the taste, it's great."

Gao Lishi said to himself, Master, you are so hungry, everything you catch is delicious.

Queen Wang also took a small sip and said with a smile: "It is a kind of happiness to drink such delicious mutton soup in Qingguang Lake."

Xuanzong didn't bother to speak, and he got the bottom of it after a bowl of two. Gao Lishi took another bowl and handed over a roll of scallion pancake.

Xuanzong took it and ate a bite of the oil cake. He was in a good mood and said with a smile: "My dear concubine, this reminds me of when I was the King of Linzi, we went out to hunt, and we only had this food, which was so fragrant."

Queen Wang nodded and said to Xuanzong: "Yes, Master, at that time, you can give the rabbits and wild sheep to your subordinates first."

A word reminded Xuanzong. He raised his head and looked at Gao Lishi waiting beside him, Wu Rong and others, "You are hungry, go for dinner first."

Seeing them bringing people down, Xuanzong said with emotion: "Since I ascended the throne, there have been more and more flattering people around me. There are fewer and fewer people who can point out my shortcomings in person like you."

Queen Wang smiled and served him another bowl of soup, "It is normal for you to be a noble person, let alone you be the emperor who is powerful all over the world. If everyone makes a mistake, they will have to move their heads. Naturally, they dare not say more."

Xuanzong nodded, "It seems that I will pay more attention in the future."

Suddenly, I remembered the memorial written by Ziwei Ling Liu Gan a few days ago.

Regarding the recommendation of young officials, I hope that there can be a few righteous people here.

However, the Xuanzong was full after two incense sticks.

It's similar to what we are now drinking a bowl of mutton soup.

After eating and drinking, Xuanzong put his hands on his back and started walking around, first going to the circle to see the fat sheep.

He asked Chen Buyi with a smile, "Aiqing Chen, tell me the truth, how many sheep have been sold in total?"

Chen Buyi smiled slightly, "Back to the emperor, I haven't calculated this carefully, it's about a thousand."

One thousand.

Xuanzong nodded.

This is not a small amount, the Queen's hot pot restaurant must have a lot of income.

Of course, Shen Buyi's income must be considerable.

He was full of interest, so Xuanzong turned to the vegetable field behind the house.

The vegetable field that is endless at first sight, the green leeks, eggplant, and spinach are growing happily.

The millet and wheat in the distance are also green.

Xuanzong couldn't help but nodded after seeing it.

I couldn't help but feel a burst of emotion in my heart. When I came to Chang'an from Linzi, there was a mudflat and wasteland here, and now it has become a fertile fertile land.

Among them, Chen Buyi must have made great efforts.

"Chen Aiqing, what changes have you made in Qingguang Lake?"

Xuanzong is very curious.

Chen Buyi said with a smile, "Why don't the emperor go and take a look in person?"

Xuanzong nodded and ordered people to take the war horse and fly onto the horse.

Later, Prince Li Ying also chased after him.

"Father, I will accompany you."

The three of them rode their horses and whipped them, followed the bluestone road and headed straight to the lakeside.

The careful Xuanzong discovered that there was a winding canal along the bluestone road. He couldn't help but admire that this kind of dull and meticulous style is not as untuned as it showed.

The noon sun shines on Qingguang Lake.

The shimmering waves are a little dazzling.

In the distance, countless water birds flew over the lake, either high or low.

Chirping happily.

A harmonious scene.

Dozens of fishing boats docked on the shore.

There was some wet, probably because I had just returned from fishing.

Chen Buyi smiled and introduced, "Your Majesty, the fish from Deyue Tower are from here."

After seeing this, Xuanzong nodded repeatedly, and burst into admiration in his heart.

A mess Qingguang Lake.

Under Shen Buyi's hands, such a charming light emanated.

Fish, vegetables and food over the past year can not only support these two or three hundred people, but also make a lot of money.

Recalling the successive letters from the Ministry of Revenue and crying and shouting that the treasury is empty, Xuanzong has a little more thought at this time.

"Aiqing Chen, I have a question and want to hear your opinions."

Chen Buyi saw Xuanzong's serious expression and knew that nothing good was happening.

There must be a problem.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid I can't answer."

Puff.

Emperor Xuanzong laughed angrily.

"You refuse before I say it."

Chen Buyi thrust and knelt down on the ground, "Your Majesty, I am just a military official, and it is a strategy to stabilize the country. I should ask Prime Minister Song and others."

"Hahaha," Emperor Xuanzong laughed, "No need to be restrained. If you say it wrong, I won't blame you."

Li Ying, who was standing beside him, looked at it and admired Chen Buyi very much. Before the emperor could speak, he put himself in a place of guilt.

"Chen Aiqing, in recent years, my Tang Dynasty has changed, internal friction is serious, and the national treasury is empty. What are your good plans?"

It's certainly not a good problem.

Shen Buyi scratches his head a little.

The treasury is empty, it's not the same as my family has no money.

If your family has no money, you can handle it by borrowing everything and making up for it. If it really doesn't work, you can still sell your property.

Sell ​​iron or sell children or daughters.

But the country has no money, who should I borrow it?

I had no money in the Tang Dynasty, so how could you lend me some?

Obviously not.

"Emperor, the treasury is empty. If you want to have money, there are only two ways to increase revenue and reduce expenditure."

In a word, the key point was to the point, and Xuanzong nodded repeatedly.

"What Chen Aiqing said is extremely true, let's listen in detail."

"Your Majesty, the so-called open source, you have already made a good start. Now the official winery is transferred to private individuals. This is an example. I hope you can open up more industries and allow the people to participate."
