Guozijian little cook

Your Majesty's regard and affection for General Guo and Governor Zhao are almost overwhelming!
  In this regard, Xiao Nianzhi actually agreed with His Majesty.

After all, the generals who guard the gate are really important.

If they are powerful, intimidating, and able to fight, then the border will be more stable, and the Jin Dynasty will also be more stable.

Why did the late emperor fight for so many years? Why did he have to fight?
  Isn't it because of the serious intrusions from various places, and at the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, we also suffered a lot of bird-like behavior.

That is to say, starting from the late emperor, he became hardened.

When we arrived at His Majesty's place, we needed to recuperate and recuperate. However, there had been no major wars in recent years, and His Majesty had never gone on a personal expedition.

But there are always military generals guarding the gate.

It is also because they are powerful that they can recuperate stably within the territory.

The three of them discussed Governor Zhao's affairs for a while.

Afterwards, as the time got later, the three of them went back to their respective houses to sleep.

Scattered light snow fell all night, adding another layer of white snow to the capital city where the snow had not melted.

Of course, it's also a bit colder.

As the New Year approaches, the streets become more lively than usual.

When Xiao Nianzhi got up early to go to court, he saw more stalls and shops than usual when passing by the street.

Because of this, there are more choices.

Steamed buns, dumplings, sesame pancakes, steamed buns...

There are also various kinds of soups and soups, but they are not very convenient to carry.

Before Xiao Nianzhi went to bed yesterday, he deliberately didn't let anyone get up early to make breakfast.

After all, she got up early and left early in the morning, so there was no need to bother everyone just for her to have breakfast alone.

The main thing is that there are really many choices on the road.

When he went to court, Xiao Nianzhi's position was further away.

So, it's actually not bad to eat something tasty. It's cold and windy, and it will disperse in a while.

Taking this into consideration, Xiao Nianzhi boldly tried mutton pancakes.

Moreover, it’s the same restaurant I usually eat at.

I have to say that it is normal for their mutton patties to be three cents more expensive per piece than other restaurants.

because……

really tasty!
  The mutton is soft and tender, and the scallions inside are cooked just right. There is no spicy or irritating taste after searing, and the scallions are well cooked, so there won't be any old skin that can't be bitten mixed in.

Taking a bite, the crust is light and delicious, and the fillings are tender and juicy.

If it is not during the morning court, it is really inconvenient to go to the toilet. After all, it will be recorded by the palace officials.

Xiao Nianzhi is really prepared to do two in one go!
  But thinking about the inconvenience of going to court early in the morning, Xiao Nianzhi could only rest his thoughts temporarily.

Although it is true that the early morning dynasty is very tiring, and compared with the modern early morning dynasty, the early morning dynasty is much earlier.

but……

Think about the salary you get, and then think about your year-end benefits.

Well, it’s another day to be active again!

The discussion in the morning today was naturally related to the Zhendong Wei side and the matter of summoning Governor Zhao back to Beijing.

In addition, there are various arrangements for inventory at the end of the year and officials returning to Beijing to report on their work.

There are also various plans for the next year and so on.

Official transfers, spring imperial examination...

In short, this is probably what the morning court before the end of the year will look like.

Some of the high-ranking officials in front were already arguing.

Your Majesty allowed them to quarrel, Zhendongwei won the battle, Governor Zhao penetrated into the hinterland of Gao Kingdom, and now Zhendongwei's army has joined them in time.

How could this matter not please His Majesty?

What the officials are arguing about now is...

Will the Gao Kingdom be a small subsidiary country in the future, or will it be directly planned to become a prefecture of the Jin Dynasty?
  In fact, it is more appropriate to plan it as a prefecture, and it is also more convenient to manage.

But, after all, it was once a small country.

A little kindness would also show their Jin style. However, the problem now is that Governor Zhao is quick to act.

Not only did he behead the emperor of Gao Kingdom, but he also killed hundreds of thousands of members of the royal family.

The meaning is obvious, just turn it into a state.

Even if you want to be a small subordinate country, you can't find a decent royal queen to inherit the position.

In addition, Gao Guo's ambition is not temporary.

So, is it really safe to become a small dependent country?

What if you rebel again in the future?

It would be more convenient if it became the state capital.

It was very noisy up there, and it was quite intense from time to time.

Xiao Nianzhi was sitting at the entrance of the palace, feeling the cold wind outside the palace from time to time, and directly fishing in troubled waters.

Anyway, she has nothing to do, so just fish.

The morning ended with a lot of noise.

After the dynasty dispersed, Xiao Nianzhi was left behind.

There were some problems at Shanglinyuan, so I turned to Xiao Nianzhi for help, hoping that she could take the time to go over and give some advice.

His Majesty had no objection to this, but he also acted as a middleman to help arrange some communication between the Ministry of Works and Shanglinyuan.

Zhao Shangshu was naturally reluctant.

After all, it's the end of the year, and the Ministry of Industry is also very busy. Don't we need people for various inventories?
  Although in fact, Xiao Nianzhi is not really needed, but there are some questions that you can ask for advice occasionally.

Especially the promotion of some agricultural tools next year and the improvement of some tools.

Xiao Nianzhi's existence is so important!
  but……

Shanglinyuan's attitude was sincere, and in the end Zhao Shangshu could only hold his nose and admit it.

In the end, after Xiao Nianzhi went to court, he did not return to the Ministry of Industry, but went to the Yamen in Shanglinyuan first.

In addition to some practical issues, Shanglinyuan also has a lot of theoretical knowledge that needs consultation.

Therefore, first go to the yamen in Shanglinyuan to solve these problems.

Yan Xingxuan, who was on the other side, accompanied the Ninth Prince. After studying gunpowder for a few days, he was transferred to the Ministry of Industry.

As the New Year is approaching, the production of fireworks should also be put on the agenda.

So, make a batch first.

This job was given to the Ministry of Industry in previous years.

Therefore, we have arranged to come here now.

The Ninth Prince continued to engage in gunpowder research, and Yan Xingxuan was temporarily transferred there to supervise and manage.

After all, this is a very important project related to the revenue of the treasury.

Yan Xingxuan was quite happy originally.

Because, you can go to the Ministry of Industry to meet and think about it!

As a result, when we arrived at the Ministry of Industry, we discovered that Xiao Nianzhi had gone to Shanglin Garden, and his return date was unknown.

Shanglinyuan doesn't care whether you borrow it or return it. Anyway, it won't be used up for a while, so I won't say the return date yet.

Yan Xingxuan:.

Heart wow!

He just wants to meet his sweetheart!

But, I can’t see him!

In desperation, I could only quietly take the time to take a look at it at noon.

As a result, Xiao Nianzhi had already got on the carriage out of the city and went to the experimental field of Shanglinyuan to solve some practical problems.

Yan Xingxuan:?

If he hadn't still carried a little sense of responsibility, Yan Xingxuan felt that he must have just abandoned his job and left, followed the footsteps of the carriage, and chased him directly outside the city!
  But, no!
  He also wanted to support a daughter-in-law, but now he couldn't just listen to the arrangement, do some work, and coax the emperor's brother so that he could go to the other party's private treasury to pick things up and ask for some money.

Finally, Yan Xingxuan glanced in the direction of the city gate bitterly, then turned his head and returned to the Ministry of Industry aggrievedly. (End of chapter)
