Father-in-law Zhu Di, I am so happy to marry the disfigured princess

Chapter 232 Golden Pill Saves Mother-in-Law!In ancient times, Zhao Gao referred to a deer as a horse, but now there is a prince who refers to smell as incense!
"Son-in-law, what's the problem?"

Seeing Li Xiao's complexion constantly changing, Xu Miaoyun couldn't help asking worriedly.

"It's all right."

Li Xiao pretended to be relaxed and said.

Just checked, mother-in-law suffers from breast cancer, the number one killer of women, no wonder Zhu Di said that Empress Xu was unwilling to seek medical treatment, which was indeed an unspeakable thing in ancient times.

Although doctors do not dislike men and women, in ancient thinking, getting this disease is almost waiting for death.

Fortunately, Li Xiao is the son-in-law, and the other party trusts him so much that he asked him to check.

After some investigation just now, this is already at an advanced stage, and life may be in danger at any time.

Li Xiao explained with a smile: "Master-in-law, you've been overworked, so you should rest more on weekdays, and then take this elixir."

Li Xiao took out a golden elixir from his sleeve, the nine-turn Ruyi golden elixir can drive away all diseases in the body, eliminate all toxins, and restore to the peak health of the current age.

"This is the golden core?"

Xu Miaoyun squinted her eyes and looked at Li Xiao: "Could it be the golden elixir trained by those alchemists?"

"This is a medicine formulated by my son-in-law, not some golden pill." Li Xiao explained with a smile: "Mother-in-law, please take it quickly."

Li Xiao rubbed the beads of sweat on his forehead, luckily there is a system, otherwise this kind of disease would be almost hopeless in ancient times, no, it will not be curable in the future
That is Ningyun's mother, no matter how many points she spends, she will be saved.

Xu Miaoyun didn't have too much doubt, took it and swallowed it in one gulp, Li Xiao hurriedly brought a glass of water to help swallow it.

It only takes a few breaths for the pill to enter the abdomen.

Xu Miaoyun felt a warm current rushing to her whole body, her limbs were full of bones.

After a while, she was surprised to find that all the discomforts in her body disappeared, she was full of energy, and her hearing and eyesight were better than before.

"Elixir?"

Xu Miaoyun's eyes were bright and her eyes were faint, she couldn't help but said softly: "My son-in-law, you are not a fairy, are you?"

Li Xiao was stunned for a moment, and then said, "What kind of fairy, mother-in-law, you misunderstood, what you suffer from is a female disease, and ordinary doctors don't know how to diagnose and treat it at all, but my son-in-law just knows a little bit."

"Is this really the case?" Xu Miaoyun was dubious, and then said seriously: "You tell me honestly, according to your memory of Su Hui, I am at this time."

The implication is that according to history, she has already died of illness at this time.

Li Xiao hesitated for a moment, nodded slightly and said, "Yes."

It is a wonderful feeling when a person knows the day of his death.

And when he knew that he had missed the day of death, the feeling was even more indescribable.

The gratitude in Empress Xu's heart kept flowing all over her body, and thousands of words finally turned into one sentence, "Thank you."

The sunlight shines into the room from the outside of the window, and passes through the white paper screens, rendering a peaceful halo on the ground, which makes people feel at ease.

"Could this healing method also come from later generations?"

Empress Xu is worthy of being a good queen of a generation. After what happened just now, she thought that all women in the world have such troubles. Now that Beiping Prefecture allows women to work, if there are female doctors, it will benefit all women in the world.

Li Xiao replied: "Yes, I have passed many prescriptions to Li Kefang and asked him to compile them into a book."

Xu Miaoyun discussed and said: "My son-in-law, now there are various colleges in Beiping, including culinary arts colleges, agricultural colleges, and artisan colleges. But there is no medical college."

Li Xiao explained: "Doctors are related to people's life and death, and should not be taught casually. Right now, I am integrating a college called 'Beiqing University'. At that time, all the colleges will be integrated into it, and students who graduated from high school will be selected to enter the university. , to learn this professional knowledge. Especially for those who study medicine, they need to be carefully selected."

Xu Miaoyun said pleasantly: "So you have planned this a long time ago. Do you think it is possible for women to enter this kind of school, learn medical skills, and specialize in the diagnosis and treatment of women's diseases?"

Li Xiao said: "Mother-in-law, do you think why my son-in-law allowed the entry requirements for primary and junior high schools to be open to both men and women?"

Xu Miaoyun suddenly realized: "So you have already made preparations!"

"Exactly."

Li Xiao cupped his hands: "In the future, women will engage in all walks of life, and the common people will definitely have resistance, and Mrs. Lao's mother-in-law can break this barrier."

In fact, in ancient schools, both men and women could enroll.

It's just that it's useless for a woman to learn, and she can't be an examiner, so she can only support her husband and teach her children at home.

Women from rich and noble families study only to enrich their own knowledge, increase self-cultivation, and find a bargaining chip for a better husband-in-law.

If it wasn't for Li Xiao's compulsory schooling, the tuition fee would be waived.

Ordinary people simply don't let girls go to school.

But if women are really allowed to engage in various important jobs, the common people will definitely resist. After all, the old feudal thinking is not easy to break.

In fact, women are patient, careful, and good at many jobs.

Li Xiao thought, as long as the status of women is not so low, the bad habit of polygamy can be gradually changed.

Polygamy is not conducive to population explosion.

Too many old bachelors can't find a wife.

And too many rich people occupy the latrines and don't shit, which will also affect social harmony.

I, Li Xiao, only have one wife, so don't even try to marry more! ! !

"Well, you're right."

Xu Miaoyun nodded slightly, acknowledging this idea.

Just now this female doctor was one of her ideas.

out of the room.

Xu Miaoyun's complexion was already ruddy and radiant.

Seeing this, Zhu Di couldn't help being pleasantly surprised. This virtuous son-in-law is indeed a miracle doctor, and the medicine can cure the disease.

After several people chatted in the hall again, Zhu Di was going back to the palace.

Sending the two elders to the carriage, Li Xiao and Ning Yun watched them go away, then returned to the room.

"Husband, is the queen mother all right?"

Zhu Ningyun asked worriedly.

"No problem."

Li Xiao looked over and said with a smirk, "It's you."

"What about me?" Zhu Ningyun looked at herself.

"Father, mother and concubine are starting to worry about us."

Li Xiao smiled: "We have to give it a try."

"try what?"

"What are you trying to do, make a baby?"

"Don't make trouble in broad daylight"

"Don't let the old man worry, just work harder"

in the room.

A beautiful view.

Li Xiao thought to himself, the quality is not enough, the quantity is enough.

Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, we must work hard for it.

Oh, and while it's annoying not being able to conceive a baby, there's an upside too.

That means you don’t need to wear a small umbrella, which is very appropriate.
Thinking of this, Li Xiao turned around again, come again!
Hongwu Palace.

Zhu Di is still extremely filial.

Although he is busy with government affairs, he often takes time to visit Zhu Yuanzhang.

At this time, Zhu Di was growing vegetables in the yard with Zhu Yuanzhang.

Some novel crops are planted in the vegetable garden, such as potatoes, corn, sweet potatoes, peppers, eggplants.
"Fourth, don't leave today, stay for dinner."

Holding his crutches, Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his body while picking a few ripe corns with his hands.

"Father, my son is here to help you."

Zhu Di wanted to reach out to help.

But Zhu Yuanzhang opened it with his hand, and he said angrily: "What are you doing, we are not old yet, we can still move."

"Yes, yes, dad, you are always strong." Zhu Di could only smile awkwardly.

"Look at this corn, which has a high yield and a good taste. It can be stored as dry food when dried in the sun, and can be ground into corn flour to make cornmeal buns."

With a benevolent smile on his face, Zhu Yuanzhang held the corn in his hand and handed it to Zhu Di: "Look, people don't even have to worry about seeds now, and there are shops selling seeds in Beiping. This is a good day."

Zhu Di said with emotion: "Yes, corn, sweet potatoes, and potatoes are enough to save people all over the country from worrying about food. It's really a prosperous age."

"Prosperity, haha ​​prosperity"

Zhu Yuanzhang bowed his body and turned around to walk, muttering as he walked, "Li Xiao is such a good grandson-in-law, I don't know where these seeds come from."

Zhu Di explained with a smile: "Li Xiao said that the potatoes are produced in the Andes of South America, the corn is produced in Mexico, and the sweet potatoes are produced in Colombia. They are all overseas crops."

"Let's get through it too. There are so many good things in overseas countries, we have to continue to exchange for more of these good things." Zhu Yuanzhang asked, "How is the business plan for Kaihai?"

Zhu Di laughed and said: "Returning to my father, the Japanese pirates have been completely eradicated now, the sea ban has been lifted, and many businessmen in Beiping are planning to build shipyards. When the sea-going ships that can sail long distances are completed, maritime trade will be opened. In addition , the boy also asked Zheng He to continue to build the Ming Dynasty treasure ship, to draw sea charts and world maps, to see how big the world is."

Zhu Yuanzhang said: "Well, that's right. The Wa Kingdom has been in chaos for ten years. Before the Northern Expedition, we first took down the Wa Kingdom and used it as a transfer station for the Great Ming Navy. By the way, remember to get rid of that Wei Zhongxian. We have observed this person for a long time. , actually accumulating strength in secret, harboring evil intentions."

Zhu Di said: "Li Xiao has already mentioned that this Wei Zhongxian does have some abilities, but he is not in the right mind, so he must not stay. At that time, he will kill him together, just a clown."

Zhu Yuanzhang nodded in satisfaction: "Fourth brother, I will leave this country to you, so we can rest assured. I just don't know if we will be able to see the map of the world in our lifetime."

"Father, you can live a long life, and you will see it in a few years."

The two walked back to the main hall. Zhu Di helped Zhu Yuanzhang to the chair, beckoned, handed over the crops in his hands to the servants to cook, and said, "With Li Xiao helping you to recuperate your body, you can enjoy your happiness with peace of mind." .”

Half an hour later, the dishes were served.

They are all home-cooked dishes, which are cooked by Zhu Yuanzhang himself.

During the meal, Zhu Yuanzhang asked: "By the way, what did you check last time? Is this Li Xiao really practicing alchemy? We must stop him and don't let him do anything wrong. How many princes and generals have been caught by this longevity?" The word blinds the eyes, loses the mind, and ruins the life. Li Xiao is of great use to Daming, so we must not let him die young."

Zhu Di smiled and said, "No, the boy has already asked specifically. Li Xiao didn't want to make alchemy."

"That's good." Zhu Yuanzhang was puzzled again: "Then why did Li Xiao seek so many alchemists?"

Zhu Di smiled awkwardly and said, "I heard from Li Xiao that he wants to set up a university with many majors to provide the community with more talents of all kinds, among which is the major about alchemists."

"Alchemist?" Zhu Yuanzhang said, "Does Li Xiao want the alchemist to become a master?"

"Exactly." Zhu Di said.

Immediately, Zhu Yuanzhang was dumbfounded.

Let a group of liars teach people, won't that teach more liars?
"Isn't this a nonsense?" Zhu Yuanzhang pondered for a long time, frowned and said, "According to Li Xiao's temperament, he should not be able to do such a nonsense."

In his perception, alchemists are just a bunch of swindlers.

Zhu Yuanzhang fell into deep thought, and after thinking for a long time, he couldn't think of any use for this alchemist.

Zhu Di laughed and said, "I also think it's weird, but Li Xiao said that I will let my son go to the mansion in a few days and find out."

"That's fine." Zhu Yuanzhang said, "I'll go with you too. I'm curious as to what Li Xiao is going to do. If he really messes around, we still have to talk about it."

"Father, you," Zhu Di said worriedly.

"We are not old." Zhu Yuanzhang refused to accept the old in his heart, and said, "Why, do you think we can't walk anymore?"

After finishing speaking, Zhu Yuanzhang said again: "The first dragon boat race in Beiping Prefecture is about to start, and we will also have to look at it at that time. Can Li Xiao build a new structure that includes the dormitories and organize thousands of villages at the same time?" size of the game."

This is what Zhu Yuanzhang is most looking forward to.

The dragon boat race for the Dragon Boat Festival this time is within the jurisdiction of the capital, and a thousand villages will participate at the same time. It is unimaginable for an event of this scale, and it will definitely be crowded with people.

If the dragon boat competition can go smoothly, what does that prove?
It proves that under such an organizational structure, the dilemma of imperial power not going to the countryside was broken, and government orders were passed from top to bottom without hindrance, which was of great help to the rule of the dynasty.

Over the past ten years, Beiping Prefecture has realized the establishment of a housing area in each village.

In ancient feudal society, most of the common people lived on the land and carried out production with the village as their foothold.

There are nearly a thousand dormitories in Beiping Mansion alone, and the cost is quite huge.

A large part of the local fiscal revenue is invested in the dormitories.

In fact, the dormitory has indeed played its due role.

The new fish scale book and various ledgers of Beiping Mansion handed in are more standardized and clear.

Population, annual birth population, number of households, number of crimes, number of deaths, etc. can be clearly displayed at a glance.

Zhu Yuanzhang also secretly asked Jin Yiwei to measure the land, and recorded as much as there was, and there was no such thing as shrinking the fields and hidden ropes.

She District re-divided the land and leased it out to the common people to grow crops.

The government government also established a wasteland reclamation team, which is a stable job, and the salary is used to reclaim wasteland, resulting in an increase in the area of ​​cultivated land every year.

Because it is divided into large tracts of land, families with many brothers contract one hundred acres or even hundreds of acres of field labor, and the benefits generated are much higher than the efficiency of scattered planting in the past. The same land produces more food.

Half of the grain is purchased by the government as a reserve grain to ensure the stability of grain prices.

The other half is sold to markets or supermarkets, and the people buy it themselves, with sufficient food.

What's more, the whole piece of land is rented out, and the moment the tax is rented out, it will be collected by the dormitory and handed over to the government office, which is extremely efficient.

There is no need to collect taxes from every household as before.

In the past, it relied on subordinate staff and local gentry to collect taxes.

In addition to the removal of the system of tax exemption for gentry, this caused even the land tax in Beiping to be three or four times that of any other prefecture.

In addition, the dormitory has many advantages.

Zhu Yuanzhang found that the birth rate of Beiping Prefecture was rising year by year through the data compiled by the dormitory.

This year has reached its peak, and the number of newborns is ten times that of ten years ago, and it has directly increased by ten times!
This should be attributed to the better life of the people and the absence of poll tax.

In short, the dormitory has a myriad of benefits.

Now Zhu Yuanzhang is looking forward to seeing if the current organizational structure can hold such a huge event with the power of one government.

At this time, Zhu Di smiled and said: "Father, my son is also looking forward to it. This dragon boat competition with thousands of villages competing on the same stage is indeed the biggest competition in the past years, and even thousands of years. It really achieves the joy of all people! If it succeeds Yes, it will be passed down through the ages and praised by later generations, and it also proves that our imperial court can issue government orders directly to the villages."

Zhu Yuanzhang smiled and nodded: "Yes, but right now only Beiping has housing estates. If you want to popularize the whole country, the expenditure will be astronomical. It is almost impossible. The only way is to make the whole country as rich as Beiping."

Zhu Di said: "My son is working hard in this direction, and it will definitely be done. By the way, Li Xiao and Gao Xu will also go to participate in dragon boat rowing that day. There will be a good show then."

Hearing such news, Zhu Yuanzhang couldn't help but smiled and said: "These two boys are really playful. Wouldn't it be unfair for him to participate in the event alone?"

Zhu Di laughed and said, "There are more than a dozen dormitory areas in Beiping City. The two of them represent their respective dormitory areas. Their identities are common people, so it doesn't matter."

Zhu Yuanzhang laughed: "Then we are really looking forward to it. This is the fun with the people. If we are not old, we will definitely go to participate."

These two days.

Li Xiao participated in the dragon boat team in the dormitory of the Duke's Mansion as a commoner and conducted dragon boat training.

"It's finally relaxing."

Li Xiao felt a little bit emotional, he was as busy as a dog every day for the past ten years.

In particular, the entrepreneurial base has been held for three times. Every time, Li Xiao does it himself, bringing out small ideas for future generations of entrepreneurship, and providing technical guidance.

Large-scale ones include raising chickens, ducks, fish, pigs, and vegetables in greenhouses. And other technical training.

Small-scale furniture manufacturing, clothing shops, flower shops, cake shops, wedding shops, second-hand housing agencies, labor agencies
He even founded a pharmaceutical factory, a cement factory, a fertilizer factory, a bicycle factory, a steel factory, and an arsenal by himself.
In short, Li Xiao spent a lot of effort to carry the current technology that can match it.

Apart from the lack of electricity, Beiping is now more prosperous than it was in the late Qing Dynasty.

Next, Li Xiao felt that there was no need to continue to overwhelm the seedlings, let him develop on his own, and rule by doing nothing.

As long as a good environment is provided, the level of technology can automatically increase over time.

"My lord, you are really good at rowing."

At this time, Li Xiao and others were practicing on a small river in the suburbs, when a man behind him flattered him.

This guy is just an ordinary citizen, and the dormitory will select people with strong strength and good physical strength to form a team from those who voluntarily sign up within the jurisdiction.

"Don't call me my country. This competition is all about fairness and justice. If you call my country, if others hear it, would you still dare to win?"

Li Xiao controlled the direction of the boat, and said while rowing.

"Okay, my lord." The man replied naively.

Li Xiao had no choice but to say, "Call me Li Qingtian, ah no. Li Tian."

The man said: "Alright, Li Tian, ​​my lord."

Li Xiao: "Remove the word "Master."

The man: "Good Duke."

Li Xiao: "."

After training for two hours, after getting off the boat, Li Xiao had a good talk with these people, and everyone dared to call Li Xiao Li Tian.

Afterwards, Li Xiao returned to the city on the yellow pussy horse Zhu Yuanzhang had given him.

Passing a street, Li Xiao suddenly smelled a foul smell.

This smell is very familiar, just like the smell of shit in the latrine.

Looking up, there was a newly opened small shop with Peking stinky tofu on the signboard, but it was deserted, with no customers, and the shopkeeper was sitting at the door in a daze.

"Huh? Didn't stinky tofu only appear in the Qing Dynasty? Why did it appear in the Ming Dynasty?"

Li Xiao suddenly became curious, decided to find out, got off the horse, and walked towards the stinky tofu shop.

Before I got to the door of the store, I heard the discussions of the people on the street.

"This person actually sells stinky tofu. There is something wrong with him."

"Yes, but it stinks to death, I can smell a stench every day."

"Isn't there a food supervision department in Beiping? Let's report the case. It won't make people sick."

The common people obviously don't like to see "stinky tofu", they are all contemptuous.

"Hey, look, isn't that Lord Qingtian?"

Suddenly a sharp-eyed person shouted.

"Really, Lord Qingtian!"

"Hello, Master Qingtian."

"I have seen Master Qingtian."

The common people saluted one after another, with great momentum.

But it attracted some Confucian scholars who came to Beijing to come and watch.

There were also newspaper reporters who happened to pass by and also ran over after seeing the commotion, thinking that there was big news.

"Don't be crowded, everyone don't get together."

Li Xiao waved his hand, indicating that everyone should leave.

It's not easy for Xindao to be a celebrity, every day when he goes out, as long as he is recognized by someone, he will be watched like a monkey.

The streets that were not crowded at first became crowded in an instant.

Zhao He, the shopkeeper of stinky tofu, was overjoyed when he saw Li Qingtian walking towards his shop, and hurriedly bowed and said, "Caomin has seen Master Qingtian."

The other people showed puzzled expressions.

Why did Mr. Xindao Qingtian go to a stinky tofu shop?

You know, Lord Qingtian is a famous gourmand.

As long as the restaurant he has eaten at gives a good evaluation, the business will be booming in the whole city immediately, and everyone will come to taste the food that Master Qingtian said is good.

Is this good luck coming to this stinky tofu shop today?

But what's so delicious about this stinky tofu? ? ?

At this time, Li Xiao walked to the shop and took a look. It was really stinky tofu. It smelled so stinky. He swept his nose and asked, "What's your name? Why do you want to sell stinky tofu?"

"Go back to the adults."

The shopkeeper Zhao He said: "Zhao He, a grassroots man, was originally a tofu supply shop, but one day the shop closed down, leaving behind several large vats of tofu. The crock of tofu was not sold out, and it grew hairy and smelly. Therefore, Cao Min was reluctant to throw it away, so he tasted it and found that the stinky tofu smelled stinky and tasted delicious. Cao Min thought it was a business opportunity, so he went to the bank Borrowed money and opened this shop."

Hearing this, Li Xiao nodded slightly, understanding.

In other words, after so many dynasties, this stinky tofu is very simple, and it should not only be discovered by Wang Zhihe of the Qing Dynasty.Many people must have discovered it, but they didn't sell it and it was unknown.

Because the business environment in Beiping is very good now.

So this stinky tofu was born in the Ming Dynasty ahead of schedule.

Wonderful, although I didn't think of the idea of ​​stinky tofu.

But with this good business environment, ideas similar to stinky tofu will surely spring up like mushrooms in the future.

Li Xiao smiled and said, "How is the business?"

Zhao He said helplessly: "Hey, it has been open for three days, and I have been scolded every day. I haven't even sold a piece of tofu so far. If this continues, I'm afraid I will die."

Li Xiao smiled awkwardly. This person really doesn't know how to do business. The stuff is good stuff. Why don't you hire a few babysitters first to spread the word?
Zhao He said cautiously: "My lord, would you like to have a taste?"

He thought, if Lord Qingtian tasted it, wouldn't his business have a turn for the better?
The voice fell.

Many people changed their faces.

"Well, you Zhao He, you actually let Master Li Qingtian eat your stinky tofu, which ruined your stomach. Do you know the consequences."

"That's right, that's our Master Qingtian, our Qingtian of Beiping, what is your intention, just because your shabby shop doesn't make money, you want to harm people, right?"

"I think you want to poison Lord Qingtian to death, Zhao He, Zhao He, you look so honest, you have vicious thoughts!"

The common people pointed and cursed at Zhao He one after another.

Zhao He was immediately scolded like a bloody leader, and he shrank his head and dared not say anything.

"Don't be prejudiced, everyone."

Li Xiao smiled and waved his hands, "Everyone be quiet."

When it was quiet, Li Xiao looked at Zhao He and said, "Give me a piece of stinky tofu."

Huo, upon hearing such words, the common people became worried.

What if Master Qingtian is poisoned to death?
And those Confucian scholars are looking forward to it, Xindao quickly poison you, the scourge
The reporter took out a small notebook and wrote down the scene in front of him.

Li Xiao sat down at the small table in front of the shop.

Zhao He was flattered, and excitedly took out a piece of stinky tofu, put it in a small plate, and placed it in front of Li Xiao.

As Li Xiao moved his chopsticks, the hearts of the people rose to their throats.

Someone has already called the doctor, in case of poisoning, he can be treated and returned in time.
The tofu is really authentic stinky tofu, with a strong taste and delicious taste, smelling stinky and delicious.

Li Xiao tasted it, and the taste was okay, but it was almost interesting.

This kind of stinky tofu will not be a hot business.

And Zhao He stood beside him, his heart pounding, feeling like he was being judged by fate.

"Not bad!"

Li Xiao put down his chopsticks and said yes, causing everyone to be in an uproar.

What's the situation, such a stinky thing is actually good? ?

But those are the words of Master Qingtian!I have to believe it!

Someone already wants to taste it.

"Thank you for your compliment!"

Zhao He was so excited, these two words were enough to determine his future business.

Master Qingtian is really a good person, he is extremely grateful.

Seeing that this person is honest, Li Xiao decided to help out.

"But it's almost interesting. I'll help you improve it. Like this, go and get an iron pan, and then bring a large pot of oil, five-spice powder, sesame paste, sesame oil, garlic, millet pepper, chopped green onion, balsamic vinegar, soy sauce, and coriander. .”

"Yes yes yes, thank you sir, thank you sir, Caomin will go and look for it now."

Zhao He bowed in gratitude, and hurriedly bowed to thank him.

This Lord Qingtian is really a good person, he is the founder of the snack training academy, if he improves his business, how hot his business will be, it is unimaginable!

Not long after, Zhao He brought these things.

"You, cut these green onions into chopped green onions, and cut the garlic into minced garlic."

Li Xiao began to teach Zhao He how to make the authentic "Changsha stinky tofu" on the spot. The audience present were fascinated, and there were more and more people.

The stinky tofu is deep-fried and sizzling.

Li Xiao started seasoning the stinky tofu again, while Zhao He studied carefully from the sidelines.

Soon, the world's first bowl of deep-fried Changsha stinky tofu was released.

Li Xiao took a sip by himself first, and it was delicious.

It is the taste in my mind.

I really didn't expect that after so many years, I was lucky enough to eat such delicious food again.

Li Xiao said loudly: "Fragrant! Excellent!"

The voice fell.

The people were in an uproar.

This stinky tofu was actually called "excellent" by Lord Qingtian? ?

That's okay, I guess the signboard of "Master Qingtian said it's good after eating" will be put up soon, and the business of this stinky tofu shop will be booming in the future!
"Excellent."

Zhao He was taken aback for a moment, and then he was ecstatic: "Thank you, my lord."

Li Xiao, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but said: "Come here, give me the pen and ink, and I will make a couplet for this stinky tofu."

As the words fell, countless shopkeepers cast envious glances, this Zhao He was really lucky to get the inscription from Lord Qingtian, this is going to make a fortune!
Although Li Xiao didn't bring any entourage, the clever shopkeeper of the shop next door rushed over with his own shop's pens, inks, papers and inkstones.

He found a table, spread it on the table respectfully, polished the brush and ink, handed the brush to Li Xiao with both hands, and whispered: "Caomin Ding Ping, he runs a brush, ink, paper and inkstone shop."

Li Xiao nodded slightly, and wrote the first word. He felt that the pen and ink were not bad. Seeing that the shopkeeper was coming, he said, "Not bad."

Hearing the word "not bad", Ding Ping was overjoyed, and immediately shouted excitedly to the store clerk: "Did you hear that, Lord Qingtian said 'not bad', why don't you ask someone to carve the word "good" on the wooden sign, hang in front of the store."

"Yes, the shopkeeper."

The store clerk was very happy and went to do it immediately.

Don't underestimate the word 'good', Mr. Qingtian is a reviewer in Beiping, live signs, and the shops he reviews, even if they are good, they are all booming in business.

Immediately afterwards, Li Xiao finished writing the remaining couplets.

Shanglian: It is also fragrant and stinky.

The second line: For the taste, for the umami, to Qianjia.

Henglian: smelly and fragrant.

Li Xiao's perfect-level calligraphy is bold and unrestrained, with strong strokes and flying dragons and snakes.

After writing, someone immediately picked it up and showed it to everyone.

As soon as the couplet came out, everyone praised it.

"Good calligraphy, good calligraphy, Lord Qingtian is worthy of being a master of contemporary calligraphy."

"Look, everyone, this couplet is really neatly written, it rhymes, it's wonderful."

"The ancient name is right, the literary talent is brilliant, amazing, amazing!"

"It means that this stinky tofu smells stinky and tastes delicious?"

The people talked a lot, all smiling, full of praise, and convinced.

Only those Confucian scholars discussed in private.

"Just this couplet, a proper doggerel."

"It's just a farmer who has never read a book. How talented do you think he is?"

"Keep your voice down, this is the Duke of the state, it's not good to be heard."

"I'm afraid, so what about the Duke, can't you talk about it if you don't have enough literary talent?"

"That's right, I'm afraid that he will do something. This is clearly confusing black and white, saying that the smelly is fragrant, and the black is white. This is the Great Ming Dynasty Master, ha ha."

Although the Confucian scholars talked quietly, a few commoners heard them and gave them a hard look, and these Confucian scholars stared back not to be outdone.

Afterwards, the couplet was put on the wall by enthusiastic people.

The people applauded one after another.

Li Xiao thought to himself, as long as he said a few words, he could save an industry, so why not do it, this stinky tofu as a snack can also help many people find ways to make money, which is a good thing.

Thinking of this, he waved his hand and said loudly: "As I wrote in the couplet, this stinky tofu smells stinky and tastes delicious! Come and try, everyone, dare to try."

"Okay! Let's listen to Lord Qingtian."

"Try it, how much is this stinky tofu?"

"Give me one too, give me one."

"I want one too."

Immediately, the people consciously formed a long queue, clamoring for a taste in front of the stinky tofu shop.

The cost of this new method has not yet been calculated, and Zhao He doesn't know how to charge.

However, he was considered smart for a while, and said loudly: "Thank you, Lord Qingtian, for mentioning the words today. This stinky tofu is free for Master Qingtian, until it is sold out."

"Good! Open and bright!"

The people cheered one after another.

Ever since, portions of stinky tofu came out of the oven and appeared in the hands of the common people.

"It stinks. Ah, it's delicious!"

Everyone didn't dare to eat it.

But as the first person to eat the crab tasted it, he couldn't help shouting.

"Really, I'll try it, it's really delicious! It's so fragrant!"

"I didn't expect this stinky tofu to be so fragrant!"

"Cheery on the outside and tender on the inside, fresh and spicy, crispy but not mushy, tender but not greasy, the first smell is pungent, and the aroma is attractive when you smell it carefully."

"Sure enough, Master Qingtian didn't lie to us. It's really delicious. Give me another serving, and I'll take it home for my wife to taste."

"It's too much, you can only have one portion of things that don't cost money, so don't think about it, the people behind haven't eaten yet."

After the people ate it, they all said it was delicious and fragrant!
Li Xiao watched this scene, smiled and clapped his hands, the task was completed, and it was time to go.

Just when he was about to leave.

A loud shout sounded from the direction where the group of Confucian scholars were.

"An unsightly rhetorical couplet, showing off its literary talents in public, but it attracted applause."

"In ancient times, Zhao Gao referred to a stag as a horse, and now there is a prince who refers to smell as incense!"

"The common people are afraid of the power of the Duke, so they dare not speak the truth!"

"What kind of world is this! It's sad! It's sad! It's ridiculous!!!"

Seeing this scene, the Confucian scholars stood up one after another, pointing at Li Xiao angrily.

Today, when they saw this scene, they were greatly shocked, and all their dissatisfaction and hatred towards Li Xiao erupted at this moment!
