Royal Gold Magistrate

Chapter 621 The food is poisonous

On the way from Lieyuan to Taoyuan, the ministers discussed in private.

It can be said that the shock was not light at the end of the day.

But compared to those advanced weapons, the focus of everyone's discussion has begun to shift overseas.

What is the artisan country of Guangkanda, Gandalf's straw boat borrowed arrows, Sanying fought Kratos, Alsace lost to Thermopylae Pass...

These legendary exotic stories all attracted the curiosity of civil servants and generals.

As for Fang Zhengyi, he was always by Emperor Jing's side.

Listening to the small discussion behind him, Emperor Jing asked in a low voice: "Why did you tell a lot more stories this time than last time, is it true or not?"

"Of course it's true, minister...it's just a little bit of embellishment." Fang Zheng said.

Li Yuanzhao also tilted his head to eavesdrop, and glanced at Fang Zhengyi contemptuously when he heard this sentence.

He turned around and approached Zhang Biao to study muskets together.

Emperor Jing immediately understood, and said with a wry smile: "Overseas countries are already as strong as you said more than a hundred years ago. If there is a conflict, then my future will not have a place to stand?"

"Your Majesty, that side should not be as strong as His Majesty thinks. Otherwise, King Wu would have the guts to run there and want to grab gunpowder."

"However, whether it is true or false, I can be sure of one thing, that is, there must be a lot of gold and silver treasures over there!"

"If they are stronger than me, we can find out the enemy's opportunity first. If they are weak, then what are we going to farm for? Just grab...be friendly and cooperate, anyway, we will not suffer at both ends!"

Fangzheng wiped his face, he had an occupational disease, and almost confided.

According to his thinking, there is nothing awesome in the West at present, not even gunpowder.

If Dajing rushes over first...isn't it Minute Maid?

It's just that some words are spoken, which are not in line with mainstream values.

Emperor Jing nodded, closed his eyes and began to think, Fang Zhengyi didn't say any more.

When we arrive in Taoyuan County later, there will be a second wave of surprises!

If you don't get overwhelmed by these people, don't sleep tonight!

After a long time, when it was about to reach Taoyuan County, the sky was already dark.

As soon as Fangzheng heard the voice in his ears, he looked forward vaguely by the light of the fire.

I felt awkward for a while.

It seems... something is wrong in the county!Haven't been back for a long time.

But I can't tell what's different. Listening to the sound, it seems that there are many trees planted around?

Before I could think about it, I was already outside the city gate.

Ao Chen sent people to greet him at the city gate early on, and when he saw Emperor Jing appeared, he immediately ordered people to line up to welcome him.

Fang Zhengyi whispered a few words in Emperor Jing's ear, and got off his horse after the large army was led into the city.

Walking to Ao Chen's side, he asked, "How are you preparing?"

Ao Chen said: "It's all ready. Miss Xiaotao said that if you don't come again, the beef will be boiled."

"The back mountain side is also ready, and I'm waiting for the signal from your side, master!"

Fangzheng felt a little relieved: "That's good, prepare carefully, and make the scene full today. Why did I feel a little bit wrong when I just came back? Trees were planted outside the city?"

Ao Chen froze for a moment and nodded, "Ah, yes, a lot of trees have been planted."

"Why plant trees?"

"Uh...here, master, do you still remember the two beggars in our county? They collected the wasteland in the county and used it to build houses and sold it to the people in the capital. They couldn't build a city wall on the wasteland outside, so they built a lot of trees Make cover."

Fangzheng turned pale with shock: "What! You sold the wasteland in the county? Why didn't you tell me!"

Did something wrong?

Ao Chen scratched his head, and said nervously: "I thought it was useless, so I gave it to him... What's wrong, master?"

"Grass! I still want to keep it and sell it! Where did the two stinky beggars get the money to buy the wasteland?" Fang Zheng was furious.

Ao Chen said with a guilty conscience: "Well...they made money from selling Xie. There are still many people in the county following suit."

"Damn! Then the mother is on the old road of begging again? How did you show me? Taoyuan County will be changed into a beggar county in the future?"

"There are no beggars... they are all flexible residents. Besides... the competition is fierce, ordinary sellers can show some talent if they can't make money, juggling." Ao Chen argued.

"You can do it, I'm playing word games on my head!" Fangzheng gritted his teeth, "If you don't watch it for a while, you will mess with me again! Let's talk about it tomorrow, advance to the city!"

.....

A group of guests have been placed in the backyard of the county government.

Several bonfires were lit in the courtyard, shining brightly.

A dozen or so round tables have already been set up, and everyone is present at the table.

There is also a band playing by the pool, and the musician is pulling Kikujiro's summer with the erhu...

As soon as Fang Zheng stepped into the courtyard, someone immediately asked: "Master Fang, you don't mean to treat us to dinner today?"

"Exactly! Wait a moment, everyone, there will be wonderful performances after you are full of wine and food."

"I'll go to the back kitchen to take a look first, and let's chat first."

As soon as Fangzheng left, the sound of conversation rang out.

"What a surprise? It's been a meal for a long time. Does it have something to do with the West still having guns?"

"Hehe, he's out of work! What else can this ignorant person do?"

"Don't worry, everyone, I don't think it's that simple! This song is interesting, have you heard it before?"

In the back kitchen, Xiao Tao was busy with a group of cooks, constantly directing the ingredients.

As soon as Fangzheng came, Xiaotao breathed a sigh of relief: "Master, you are here. I was afraid that if you didn't come, you would be wasting your preparations. The dishes will be served right away."

Fangzheng sniffled his nose and gave a thumbs up when he smelled the strong fragrance in the kitchen: "Well, not bad! It's all good, then I'll go back first."

Seeing that he was about to leave, Xiaotao hurriedly held him back, and said worriedly: "Master, do you think His Majesty would like to eat my cooking? What if something goes wrong?"

Fangzheng shook his head with a smile and said, "Oh, your Majesty is pitiful, what can he eat? In the palace, there is nothing more than some porridge and mutton. Don't worry, let's get ready to serve. Jin Yiwei is waiting outside."

After finishing speaking, he fished a raw potato from the kitchen, put it in his sleeve, and walked slowly back to the backyard.

In the backyard, everyone was shaking their heads and listening to the novelty song.

As soon as Fangzheng appeared, he said loudly: "Everyone, serve the food right away. Don't be restrained for a while, let's eat and drink today!"

As soon as the words fell, Jin Yiwei began to pass dishes to each table.

One after another novel dishes caught everyone's eyes, beef stewed with potatoes, beef stewed with tomatoes, hot and sour potato shreds, scrambled eggs with tomatoes, fried potatoes with potatoes...

New ingredients that have never been seen before, special aromas that have never been smelled.

As soon as he appeared on the stage, he caught everyone's attention.

Emperor Jing wavered a little while holding the chopsticks, Guo Tianyang had already taken a small plate to taste the dishes one by one for Emperor Jing.

It's not that Fang Zheng is worried, it's better to try this kind of novel thing.

Everyone watched Guo Tianyang chew, and his throat surged.

I haven't eaten anything serious this day, and my stomach is really hungry and thirsty now.

After eating several new dishes, until the hot and sour potato shreds were caught, Guo Tianyang's expression changed, and he said in a low voice, "Your Majesty, there is something wrong with this dish!"

The officials were shocked when they heard the words... countless subtle gazes instantly focused on Fang Zhengyi.
