In early June, envoys and caravans came to Xianyang from Yuezhi. In addition to transporting many specialties from the Western Regions, King Ying Gao of Liang personally sent his left prime minister to explain in detail the process of conquering Wusun to the Emperor of Qin, and asked the Emperor of Qin to provide a large amount of currency to Liang Kingdom. He even asked to open a trading transaction at the border and to open a branch of the Huaxia Money House in Yuezhi and Wusun to facilitate the settlement of trade between the two places.

Because of this, the emperor personally asked Chen Xu about his opinion in the court, but Chen Xu naturally could not refuse. Although the Wusun and even the Western Regions countries were far away from the Central Plains and had a very difficult time to travel, after all, there were tens of thousands of troops stationed in the Western Regions, and the Wusun of Yuezhi had already conquered and a large number of caravans began to travel. The development of commerce would inevitably bring many advanced civilizations in the Central Plains to the Western Regions, which also laid a good foundation for the future rule of the Qin Dynasty.

The enfeoffment of princes to rule the Western Regions is just a temporary measure at present. When the population of the Central Plains expands rapidly in ten or twenty years, there will inevitably be more people to strengthen the management of the Western Regions. The Chinese territory must include the Western Regions. Although these places have poor resources, they contain a large amount of oil resources and have an extremely important strategic position. They will be a huge buffer zone for the Central Plains and Central Asia and West Asia. The reason why China in later generations was not as chaotic as Europe was because of the natural barrier of the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau.

As for King Liang Ying Gao, he could be enfeoffed to Central Asia and even West Asia again. The Emperor of Qin issued an order, and no princes dared to refuse, because after the princes equipped the stirrup and horse-saddled steel weapons, if their confidence expands and they want to compete for the Central Plains, Chen Xu's firearms will awaken them. If the firearms spread again, Chen Xu probably had developed more violent muskets, cannons and even steel warships.

The human and material resources of the Central Plains, decades of scientific and technological reserves, strong mobilization capabilities and industrial foundation are definitely not comparable to those of the East Hu and the Xiongnu Western Regions, which have nothing to do with poor small countries.

The only thing is to see whether the Qin Dynasty can maintain a long-term stability, and this is also the focus of Chen Xu's future reform.

The royal family and the kingly empire have huge hidden dangers, and the official service system of courts and counties also has huge drawbacks. Being an official who never moves in a place or a certain position for a lifetime is the most important factor that breeds corruption and collusion between rights, and it is extremely harmful to the country.

However, these are not issues that Chen Xu urgently needs to consider at the moment.

Food is the most important thing for people, so that the people can eat and wear warmth, and let the Qin Dynasty become rich first is the primary goal.

It is naturally a very difficult thing to open a money house in the Western Regions, because the journey is long and it takes at least three or five months, which requires strong force of protection. Therefore, after discussing with Fan Caiying, Chen Xu wrote a letter to the emperor, asking for an order to notify Meng Tian and King Liang that military soldiers must be sent to protect the safety of the caravans and caravans that the money house transported money and the safety of the money house operation. The emperor agreed without any hesitation.

Shortly after the Liang King’s envoy and the caravan arrived in Xianyang, news that Li Xin and Jiang Hu conquered more than 40 countries in the Western Regions were also reported one after another. One after another, a large number of caravans composed of camels and horses. A large number of gold, silver, jade, rare fur goods worshipped by the Western Regions, as well as specialties from the Western Regions were continuously sent to Xianyang. Among them, what made Chen Xu most happy was the seeds of various plants, and what made Chen Xu most happy was several bags of cumin.

“Wow hahahaha~”

After Chen Xu received several carts of seeds of fruits and vegetables from Western Regions that the emperor sent, Chen Xu hugged several of the sheepskin pockets and tears were all left behind.

It's just a matter of chili noodles that can make authentic curry powder.

Chen Xu happily carried a bag of cumin and went straight to the kitchen.

"Why are you so excited?"

Ying Shiman and Shui Qingrou came out of the backyard with Xiao Chen Xi. Chen Xu hugged a pocket and ran over in front of the group with a smile. He even shouted Chen Xi's milk for a few times but didn't hear her father, which made the two women look at each other.

"Dad~~" Chen Xi was still yelling at Chen Xu's back.

"My husband went to the kitchen yard, and I'm afraid he wanted to make some delicious food!" Shui Qingrou picked up Chen Xi and said.

"Then let's go and have a look!" Ying Shiman's beautiful eyes lit up instantly.

In order to eat Chen Xu's braised chicken claws and duck wings, she took the princess' face and went to the Hou Mansion to ask for delicious food. Now, braised food has changed from a recreational snack to an optional food, but it has been a long time since she saw Chen Xu cook so excitedly.

"Hurry, take a wooden mortar and help me pound the cumin powder into powder!" Chen Xu handed a bag to a kitchen worker.

"Marty, what is this cumin?" Several chefs and chefs instantly gathered around to see this strange seed that looked about the size of a sesame seed.

"Haha, this is a good thing that I don't have in the Central Plains. It is also a spice produced in the Western Regions. It is called cumin, which is a kind of fennel. It is a perfect match for making barbecue... Hurry up, stop being too slow, let someone go to the farm to catch a black sheep and come back to peel it. Now the Japanese Hou asked you to taste a peerless barbecue, and you can't forget it after taking a bite."

"Well, you also need to prepare a barbecue grill and charcoal bamboo sticks, go quickly!"

"Sprinkle, go to the vegetable garden to pick a handful of tender scallions..."

"Pepper and mustard powder mustard mustard powder should also be prepared, and the entire set of barbecue equipment should be brought out..."

Under Chen Xu's impatience, a group of chefs scattered and quickly prepared what they needed for barbecue.

"Husband~"

Ying Shiman and Shui Qingrou hugged Chen Xi and came to the kitchen accompanied by a group of maids.

"Hey, the two ladies are here just in time. Today I found a very good barbecue seasoning. I will make it for you later!" Chen Xu directed the two chefs to get all the barbecue tools out to clean and prepare various barbecue seasonings. When Shuigh Gingrou was waiting for someone to come in, he immediately smiled and couldn't stop smiling.

"Is this what my husband calls barbecue seasoning?" Shui Qingrouted Chen Xi and squatted down to look at her leather pocket. Xiao Chen Xi has grown several teeth now, and has inherited the attributes of her father and mother. She has a natural hobby for eating. She reached out and grabbed it and fed it naturally into her mouth, but she immediately vomited out and started crying.

Chen Xu was covered in black and quickly ordered the maid who followed him to take his daughter to drink water and rinse her mouth. Cumin is a unique barbecue seasoning, but eating it raw must not taste very good.

After nearly an hour of busy work in the kitchen, Chen Xu finally put the developed lamb skewers on the barbecue rack, skillfully grilled and brushed oil. Soon a strong barbecue fragrance spread throughout the kitchen.

Chen Xu was excited. Since the first barbecue of wild boar meat in Xiaohe Village, Chen Xu has been thinking about the magic barbecue ingredients such as cumin. After waiting for nearly six years, he finally can eat it today.

Pepper noodles, pepper noodles, mustard, cumin powder, salt...

Seeing that the grilled skewers had already started to drip oil, Chen Xu skillfully shook all kinds of barbecue ingredients one by one, especially the moment the cumin powder shook on it, as sesame oil and mutton fat dripped into the charcoal fire, a strong and strange fragrance emanated, instantly attracted a group of onlookers and maids to swallow their saliva. Even Shui Qingrou and Ying Shiman couldn't help but stand beside Chen Xu and began to whine, and the ladylike demeanor was wiped out.

"Husband, I don't want to have a green onion!" Ying Shiman reminded her with surprise and sweethearts on her face.

"Okay, this is yours, don't have chopped green onions!" Chen Xu stuffed a few sticks on the grill in Ying Shiman's hands, and then regardless of whether his hands were dirty or not, he grabbed a handful of chopped green onions and sprinkled them on the remaining seven or eight skewers, handed most of them to water Gentle, and grabbed them and stuffed them into his mouth impatiently.

"Hiss~" Chen Xu's eyes widened and took a deep breath, chewing heavily while breathing, "It smells so fragrant, it's so delicious!"

"It's really delicious. Qingrou has never eaten such a unique barbecue!" Shui Qingrou bit a piece of mutton with a small mouth, and praised her with a smile on her face.

"The skewers made by my husband are unique. This must be the most delicious barbecue in the world!" Ying Shiman nodded, but the speed was not slow at all. She finished eating one piece in an instant.

"Come on, I'll leave the grill for you, so bake more!" Chen Xu didn't care about the group of chefs and maids who were drooling around him, and took the skewers while eating. He gave up the place. The two chefs who had been waiting for a long time rolled up their sleeves and immediately grabbed a handful of skewers and put them on the grill, and told the chefs to fan the air quickly.

Soon this strange and strong barbecue fragrance emanated from the kitchen yard, and the whole yard smelled the fragrance. A group of guards and managers also rushed in, surrounding the small barbecue grill with water. Looking at the few dozen skewers of mutton placed on the barbecue grill, they licked their mouths and swallowed their saliva, as if their throat was about to stretch out their claws.

Everyone has eaten the barbecue, but I have never smelled this strange fragrance. I guess the Marquis found some unique barbecue spices.

"There are still several barbecue grills in the warehouse, you can get them yourself!" Chen Xu was so scared that he was seen by several saliva guards. He waved his hand and hid beside him with two beautiful wives.

"Yew~~" A group of guards cheered and scattered in an instant, and they all went to the warehouse to search for the barbecue grill.

"Mr. Marquis, here is noisy. We will send it to you after baking it!" The kitchen manager looked at Chen Xu and the two Marquises surrounded by a group of people, and felt that the upper and lower levels of the Marquis' mansion were completely in chaos.

"Well, it's good. If there is not enough meat, kill a sheep and try to make everyone eat a skewer!" Chen Xu nodded and gave an order, and slowly ate the skewers and took his two wives to the backyard.

More than ten minutes later, a servant brought a large plate of grilled skewers, and Chen Xu ordered several maids in spring, summer, autumn and winter to bring a bottle of Qinghe wine and a bottle of fruit vinegar, and sit under the pavilion in the back garden to eat and drink, with a very comfortable look.

A barbecue without cumin is soulless.

Now that this small spice is added, the quality of the skewers has been greatly sublimated.

What makes Chen Xu slightly regretful is that there is no chili powder. Although mustard and pepper also have a spicy taste, it is not as pure as chili.
