Chapter 82 A Pot of Water (Part 2)
"The Taifu's words are different. You are always seeking blessings for the people of Great Wu." I showed a kind face and comforted with a serious face: "If I ask the Taifu to hand over the secret recipe for beauty for my own selfishness, it will indeed make the Taifu feel ashamed of his master. However, my move is for the people of the world. Just imagine, if this medicine is made and sold to the upper class of other countries, how much money can be earned? How many poor people can have food to eat and house to live in? In my opinion, it is really a meritorious act."
The Master Qin was shocked and woke up and said, "The emperor's words made the old minister really ashamed. When I think about it carefully, the old minister is too selfish."
"The righteous act of the Taifu will definitely make the people of the world remember the Taifu." I smiled.
"However, the emperor." Qin Taifu frowned slightly and said, "It's just a few main medicines on the formula, which are very expensive, such as Polygonum multiflorum and Thousand Years of Ginseng. The most special one is the blood of the Sandworm. This insect is only produced in the desert oasis of Kucha, the Western Regions, and it is very rare. The locals caught one and sold it can almost have a worry-free life. Because local legends, eating a Sandworm can increase the life span of half a year."
"Increase life?" I was stunned: "There are such strange insects in this world? Taifu Qin, can that insect really increase life?"
"It's not entirely true, according to Lao Chen's research." Taifu Qin shook his head and said, "It's just that the blood of the golden sandworm is quite unique. After taking it, it is very beneficial to the physical condition. If the physique is good, the lifespan will naturally be longer. Lao Chen's secret medicine for beauty care is also the principle of using the blood of the golden sandworm, a special medicinal material to improve physical condition. After the medicine is prepared, it can make the skin as tender as a baby.
"That's the good thing." A greedy look appeared in my eyes: "You must get more back and study it for a few Gongsun Yu. That guy likes to study strange medicinal materials. Maybe he can really find something for him. However, using this kind of thing to make medicine shows that it is very expensive. If the formula of Qin Taifu, will it be effective if this medicinal material is removed?"
"In this way, the effect may not be even one tenth." Taifu Qin replied lightly: "If the emperor wants to mass-produce it, it is best to use diluted golden sandworm blood. In this way, a golden sandworm can be prepared with more than a thousand servings of secret medicine for skin care. Although the effect may be much lower."
"It's so good. Other precious things like Millennium Ginseng can also be replaced by inferior goods." The essence of our annihilation merchant evaporated again, and the thief smiled and said, "The cost will be even cheaper, and a few hundred taels will be sold to those middle-level wealthy merchants."
"Of course, the best beauty medicines must be made and the effect must be better. One is to use them for the palace ladies, the other is to sell them to rich people in the country, and the third is to export them to the royal courts of other countries to earn a scoop of water outside the basin." I said a series of calculations: "Different prices are set according to different effects. In this way, the money of rich, middle-aged, and even small-rich people can flow without delay. As for the price? It is less in China, and the cost price is five times, no, ten times. As for foreign countries, it should be at least twenty times the cost price. Hehe, giving those rich people a chance to restore their young faces, this price is quite cheap."
Master Qin was stunned when he heard this. The old guy was thinking, where was the emperor in front of him? He was obviously an annihilation merchant.
"Your Majesty, although this medicine can make a person in his fifty-year-old look like a person in his thirty-year-old, it cannot fundamentally make people younger. Unless you take the blood of the Sandworm directly, it can slightly improve your physical condition." Taifu Qin kindly reminded.
"I know, but you know and I know this, and only the knowledge of heaven and earth." I blinked and said innocently, "As long as we don't say it, who will know?"
"Uh, Master, isn't this a deception?" Taifu Qin was a little unacceptable.
"Tao Fu." I suddenly looked at him with a righteous look and said, "Do you really think I like to lie? Do you know how many people in Dawu are now unable to eat enough or wear warm clothes, waiting for me to help them? Do you know how many people are starving to death every day? I have a great responsibility. I am willing to bear the eternal infamy and use the money I earn to build the country better so that all the people can have food and clothes to wear." In the end, I became more and more passionate. After that, even I believed it myself.
The Grand Tutor's emotions were irritated by me, and he said passionately: "How can a minister not share the worries of the king? Let the old minister take on this eternal infamy for the emperor."
"Master Taifu, you, I, the king and the minister, join hands." I patted his shoulder heavily and said, "It will definitely make the people of the world rich and no longer sell their children. Let me give you the recipe. I will let Mochou Village operate everything. We will not just use money to buy Korean ginseng and Kucha Jinsha Jins. Instead, we use the goods produced by Mochou Village to exchange them. After the medicinal materials are exchanged, we will make beauty medicine and sell them to those countries. In this way, I will only increase the amount of water in the basin, and will never decrease." Speaking of this, I smiled: "Tao Gong, don't worry about the water overflowing. When the time comes, I will naturally make the basin of water bigger and use it to hold more water."
When I heard my last sentence, Taifu Qin immediately understood. My ideal was not only to simply feed the people of Dawu, but also to expand the border. The reason why I said that sentence was to give him a clear idea in advance, so that he could also consider this aspect more in the future.
Master Qin took a breath of air and responded: "The old minister understands, the old minister will do what the emperor said."
This Taifu Qin is still very experienced. From the secret point I just said, I immediately understood what I wanted him to do.
The two of them nagged for a while, and Taifu Qin silently prepared the formula for the secret medicine for beauty care, and left on the pretext. I am afraid that he would digest what I said today.
As I did, I just wanted to give some clarification to the people of this era. In terms of the principle of walking in the past, all I can do is macro-control.
After finally dealing with Taifu Qin, it was already a little dark. After one day, I couldn't help but starve in my stomach.
Xiao Duozi had long known to observe his words and expressions, so he wanted to take the initiative to ask for some imperial meals, but I stopped them. Although those imperial meals were delicious foods, they became a little tired of eating them for a long time. As soon as they moved, Xiao Duozi went to the imperial kitchen and asked the imperial chef to prepare some fresh mutton, venison, crocodile meat, peacock meat, salmon, flat fish, pomfret, etc. and some vegetables. Then he got some iron wire to skewers into meat skewers, and moved them to the Chunjing Pavilion in the Imperial Garden with a charcoal stove.
Chunjing Pavilion is the center of the Imperial Garden. The scenery here is pleasant, and some flowers have bloomed before they bloom, which makes it a unique feeling.
After everything was ready, I sat on the stone bench in Chunjing Pavilion and lit the charcoal stove with my own hands. Fortunately, I often went out for barbecue and camp with a few good friends many years ago, but my skills were not unfamiliar. Do I have to chew the barbecue? I just need to stool the stove by myself and roast it by myself to make it taste good.
After ordering the stove, I put the skewers on the stove and grilled them in a good manner.
The charcoal fire is booming, and soon there will be a scent of meat that will rise with the charcoal smoke.
At this moment, the Queen, Lan'er Xing'er, the Queen Mother and others all came to Chunjing Pavilion. When I saw me sitting there barbecue seriously, especially the Queen, I couldn't help but say in surprise: "Your Majesty, you have been gathering us all over the place. Could it be that we can appreciate your barbecue skills?"
"Uh, the smart and virtuous queen, you guessed it right." I squeezed my eyes and smiled at her, "But I not only want you to see, but also want you to eat. Let's sit down. It's going to be done soon."
The girls had no choice but to sit around me. Finally, I sprinkled the cumin I had just bought from the imperial kitchen recently. A scent of heart filled my nostrils. I smiled proudly and said, "The sword is not old, the sword is not old."
"This crocodile meat is a filial piety to the Queen Mother." I distributed it one by one: "Youhong, this pomfret was selected by me personally. Eating more fish is good for the body. Lan'er, Xing'er, this is the peacock's butt, it is the real phoenix tail meat, fragrant, tender and smooth, and it is really a rare top-quality product."
Lan'er, Xing'er: "..."
"Ahhh. It's just peacock meat." I laughed.
...
I had been hungry for a long time, so I grabbed the mutton skewers and bit it. Tsk, the barbecue I roasted myself really tasted a different taste.
"Huh? Why is the taste so fragrant and delicious?" The girls didn't dare to eat this dirty and greasy play at first. However, after I used the imperial edict to suppress it, I had to try it. Unexpectedly, I found that the taste was very delicious and delicious. The ones distributed to them were already finished in two bites. The queen was quick and thick-skinned, and she had already started to grab the remaining skewers on my hand.
I jumped away quickly and laughed: "If you do this barbecue, it will be even better if you do it yourself. Ladies, if you want to eat it, do it yourself."
When the girls heard this, they didn't hesitate and grabbed the skewers and grilled them by themselves. At first, I didn't know how to do it, and then I gave some advice. Everyone put down their original reserve and started to make a joke.
I was secretly proud of this family-style barbecue event, indeed, is a good way to relieve stress. After staying in the palace for a long time, I am really afraid that it will ruin them. If I have time in the future, I will often hold such joyful family entertainment activities together.
Suddenly, I saw that the panda skewers in Lan'er's hand were cooked and rushed forward to grab them. Unexpectedly, Lan'er, who had suffered losses several times, hid quickly and said, "The emperor is here to grab my one again. If you want to eat it, will you bake it yourself?"
"Concubine Shu received the order." I used my trump card and shouted proudly: "I ordered you to contribute the panda meat skewers to me immediately."
Lan'er, Xing'er: "..."
Queen, Queen Mother: "…"
