The white porridge and pickled mustard is enough, why am I wearing a royal robe?

Chapter 197 The hanging heart finally died

"Everything is full of vitality."

Liu Zhenhua was wearing regular clothes and his face was gray. It was May and the weather was already starting to get hot.

Especially in this land in the middle of Qin, there is a severe drought, cold winters and hot summers.

If it weren't for the silk lining, Liu Zhenhua felt like his back would be covered in prickly heat.

"Master Zao, it's all thanks to you."

Yang Lichao stood beside him and turned to look at Liu Zhenhua with a smile. This is Yanchang. Yang Lichao still remembers what this place used to be like.

It was a mess, and there were people everywhere with sallow faces and skinny muscles, their faces were as pale as that of loess.

Now, although the common people's faces are still not as ruddy as those of the Heavenly Soldiers, and even a little yellowish, they will no longer be "hungry and thin".

Some green crops can be seen on suitable land in the streets and alleys.

Sweet potatoes have become the staple food of the people under the rule of Kitchen King.

"merchant."

Besides, sweet potato leaves are not bad to eat steamed.

"you know me?"

After preparing for some time to reorganize, we headed towards Henan.

Liu Zhenhua smiled. From this sentence, it can be seen that this person did not find out that he was the Stove King. Although he looks disgraced now, he must have just thrown out a bag of silver and was seen behind his back.

There was a herbal tea stall next to it.

Liu Zhenhua and Yang Lichao looked at each other and realized that this person was here to cheat, but he actually used his name to cheat.

Liu Zhenhua was sitting on the bench when he saw a man coming towards him with a smile on his face.

"Haha," Yang Lichao laughed after hearing this and sitting next to Liu Zhenhua. It seems that the Kitchen King's disguise is still effective.

If he wants to stabilize his governance, Liu Zhenhua probably needs to learn a little bit about the Yellow Turbans and the Manchu Qing Dynasty, and kill all the dissatisfied classes.

The man sat opposite Liu Zhenhua as if he were familiar with him.

This man obviously didn't recognize it, and actually said that there was something that the Kitchen King had not eaten.

Liu Zhenhua's ideas are naturally contrary to theirs.

But the prosperous land in the south of the Yangtze River is different. There are many gentry and scholars. They will not be satisfied with food and clothing, but will demand more benefits.

"Hey, Master, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but I have something you have never eaten before," Shen Yi covered his pocket with a mysterious look.

"It would be great if everyone was as simple as the people here," Liu Zhenhua sighed, and he led his army back to Yanchang.

Liu Zhenhua looked this man up and down and felt that this man had the word profiteer written all over his face.

When productivity does not reach a certain level, the only way to obtain divorce is through exploitation and oppression.

After being under the sun for a long time, my mouth feels dry.

Yang Lichao said: "In this land of Shaanxi, who doesn't know the Kitchen King? Why do you mention the Kitchen King? Could it be that you said that the food my young master has never eaten was conjured by the Kitchen King for you."

This person's eyes are like fortune-telling eyes, able to judge some things from these things, and then use them to flatter you.

When Shen saw this, he knew that the two of them didn't believe it, but they wanted this effect, "You two, please don't believe it."

The main reason is the level of education. Most of the people in this place are ordinary people, which are very easy to manage. As long as they can provide food to those who stutter and can survive on the land and their own hard work, they will have no other thoughts.

Shen Yi pretended to be surprised when he heard this, "Oh, you really guessed it."

A scene of living and working in peace and contentment.

Coupled with the Stove King's provision of food to govern the world, the people have even begun to gain weight.

Every household has a surplus of food.

Liu Zhenhua asked, this person is either a charlatan or a profiteer who is opportunistic.

Although it is said that after eating this sweet potato, I will fart and have acid reflux, but it is better than starving to death.

Liu Zhenhua said, and said jokingly, "This person said that I am used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas, but he has something that I have never eaten."

As he spoke, he took out a piece of cloth from his arms. There seemed to be something wrapped in the cloth.

People who can spend so much money will naturally have no shortage of food.

"Of course I don't know you, but I know, you are used to eating delicacies from the mountains and seas," Shen Yi smiled evilly, with a flattering look on his face.

He rolled up his sleeves, then leaned forward, with his feet on the stool, as if he was talking about gossip, "Have you ever heard of the Stove King?"

"Let's go drink herbal tea," Liu Zhenhua took out a cloth bag, shook it, and then threw it to Yang Lichao.

Now I'm dressing up in disguise, just like the emperor who paid a private visit incognito to see how the city under his hands is.

Not long after, Yang Lichao brought back two bowls of herbal tea. When he saw the person sitting opposite Liu Zhenhua, he asked, "This is it?"

Liu Zhenhua and Yang Lichao stared at the bag, wondering what kind of thing this man was going to bring out to deceive.

"What's the matter with you?"

Liu Zhenhua nodded, but he knew in his heart that if it were another place like Jiangnan, he might not be so successful.

"This man."

Liu Zhenhua didn't know how to deal with this matter. The most he could do was punish him. It was impossible to completely eliminate it. Piracy and cheating under a certain name had already appeared as early as the Song Dynasty.

It's simply impossible to completely eliminate it.

"Do you really have something conjured by the Kitchen King?" Yang Lichao said with a surprised look on his face, "Then maybe my young master has never eaten it."

"Hey, this is good stuff," Shen Yi slowly opened the cloth, revealing several eggs covered with brown cracks.

"Look, tea eggs are something only the Kitchen King's heavenly soldiers can eat, but they are made with black tea and are hard to find."

Shen Yi pinched a tea egg, looked around, and then placed it on the table.

"How about it, sir, each one only costs five taels of silver," Shen Yi stretched out his five fingers, "Fifty taels is not much, these tea eggs should only be found in the sky."

He pointed to the sky with his other hand, "It's made of black tea, salt, sugar and spices."

Liu Zhenhua frowned and said, "I will buy as many tea eggs as you have there."

"Know the goods, know the goods," Shen Yi immediately laughed so hard that he didn't expect that Liu Zhenhua was so generous and planned to take all the goods he received this time.

Shen Yi took out all the tea eggs in the bag and counted them. There were eight in total. Then he pushed the tea eggs in front of Liu Zhenhua and made a gesture of invitation.

Yang Lichao looked at the familiar appearance of the egg, his heart thumped, and he immediately took out forty taels of silver from the bag.

Liu Zhenhua took the tea eggs on the table one by one and looked at them carefully.

"Sir, this thing is authentic," Shen Yi saw Liu Zhenhua looking at it so carefully, and he dismissed it in his heart. How could this person be able to tell the Stove King's things with the naked eye? How could this thing be fake.

Liu Zhenhua looked at the tea egg and he was sure that it was not an imitation.

Because the lines on each tea egg are almost exactly the same.

This happens only to the tea eggs he transformed.

"It seems that there are heavenly soldiers who are too full to eat," Liu Zhenhua thought to himself. It was obvious that the man in front of him colluded with the heavenly soldiers to exchange these tea eggs for silver.

The Heavenly Soldiers meal will disappear after finishing it, and right now, the portion of the Heavenly Soldiers meal is indeed quite sufficient.

Some heavenly soldiers had evil thoughts.

"How about it, Master, this thing is authentic," Shen Yi weighed the money, opened the bag and counted it. Suddenly, Liu Zhenhua sneered, "This thing is fake, right?"

Shen Yi's smile faded, "Master, this is not a joke."

"What we pay attention to in doing business is integrity. No one else in the world has access to this thing. I can only buy the entire extension here."

He pointed his thumb back.

"Oh, is it possible that you know Tianbing?" Liu Zhenhua asked.

When Shen Yi heard this, he frowned immediately, "Master, we have our own way. Don't worry, this is definitely true. If you don't believe it, you don't have to buy it."

Liu Zhenhua placed the tea eggs on the table. This man was very vigilant and originally wanted to get around the heavenly soldiers behind him.

"If this is true, what about me?" Liu Zhenhua sneered, and as he turned his hands, three tea eggs appeared in his palm.

Shen Yi originally looked at Liu Zhenhua and Yang Lichao coldly, thinking that the two people were looking for trouble. When he saw Liu Zhenhua's move, his eyes suddenly bulged out.

"This," he stammered.

"Are these three real?" As if afraid that Shen Yi might not see clearly, Liu Zhenhua turned his other hand over, and three more tea eggs appeared in his hand.

This time, how could Shen Yi not see that such transformation methods still produced tea eggs? In the entire Ming Dynasty, in the entire world, only the Kitchen King had such methods.

Shen Yi hurriedly took two steps back, and the bench fell to the ground.

He suddenly knelt on the ground and said, "Kitchen King, have mercy on me. I'm so blind that I didn't recognize you."

Shen Yi fell to the ground, and the waiter at the tea stall looked at this scene in astonishment.

Apparently he didn't realize why this man was kneeling on the ground, and he seemed to hear the word "Kitchen King" in a daze.

"stand up."

Liu Zhenhua said softly.

Shen Yi didn't dare to disobey. After hearing Liu Zhenhua's words, Shen Yi stood up quickly. Shen Yi's awe for the Kitchen King was from the bottom of his heart. He had the food transformed by the Kitchen King in his hand, so he naturally knew that the Kitchen King had great powers.

"sit down."

Shen hurriedly held up the stool and sat up straight, like a child listening to a lesson.

"I told you, I hope the Stove King will give me a chance to change my ways," Shen Yi said proactively before Liu Zhenhua asked.

He had heard that there were assassins in the imperial court who assassinated the Kitchen King. The Kitchen King could have directly used his magical powers to find out the spy, but the Kitchen King cared about all the people in the world, so he gave those assassins a chance.

Shen Yi thought that this should be the case now.

Of course, Shen Yi thought that his crime was that he failed to recognize the Stove King.

As for selling tea eggs, I have never heard of it being illegal to resell them. The Heavenly Soldiers Meal was also given to the Heavenly Soldiers by the Stove King, which is the private property of the Heavenly Soldiers.

"Li Min and Shen Qi sold these tea eggs to us. Stove King, you disguised them so well that the common people didn't recognize them for a while."

Shen Yi hurriedly explained.

Liu Zhenhua did not speak, he had been considering this matter in his mind. This matter must not be allowed to develop unchecked.

This thing earns money from rich people, and ordinary people can't afford this thing.

However, this is something exclusive to the Heavenly Soldiers and even the officials around him. This share is currently limited and has unique symbolic significance.

If it can be bought and sold, its uniqueness is lost, just like a diamond.

When the veil of love is lifted, it becomes cheap.

"Li Min, Shen Qi."

"Shen Qi is a relative of Cao Min, and Li Min is his good friend."

Shen Yizhi said everything without hesitation, and looked like he had a good attitude of admitting his mistakes.

Liu Zhenhua nodded, his expression showing no emotion or anger. This was a unique way for people with initiative to deal with passive people, not showing emotion and anger, leaving them trapped in speculation and entanglement.

"There's one more thing I need you to do."

"Kitchen King, please tell me, the common people will go through fire and water without hesitation."

Shen Yi quickly raised his hands and said.

Extend outside the city.

There has long been a complete county school training ground here, surrounded by lush sweet potato seedlings.

Sporadic rain and snow in late winter and early spring may not be enough to support the growth of other crops, but it is enough for sweet potatoes.

The heavenly soldiers, militia and local warriors who accompanied the Kitchen King on his eastern expedition were arrayed here one after another. Originally, the Kitchen King had asked them to relax in the past few days, saying that they would have to rush all the way after the end.

Now they suddenly gathered together urgently.

"What's going on? The imperial court has sent out another army to fight?"

In the team of heavenly soldiers, some people whispered that they were not fully prepared yet, so they could talk about it.

"No way, there are scouts here. We should have known about any movement in the court."

"Is it possible that Brother Youpaoze lost his mind and made a mistake?"

Someone guessed.

Soldiers and brave men have their own rules. They do not take anything from the masses, and they are not allowed to bully others. Generally speaking, they can just have fun, but they must not disturb the people or destroy public property.

"If this thing comes out, we can't hide it, and we haven't heard about it. Besides, brothers are not stupid. How could it be possible because they easily lost their status as a heavenly soldier."

Someone muttered.

"That's something else."

Shen Qi and Li Min listened to the discussions of the people around them, and their hearts beat.

That's how people are, just like when ordinary people face a judge, even if they haven't done anything that may be illegal recently, they can't help but have a mental meeting.

What's more, Shen Qi and Li Min did some things behind others' backs in the past two days.

There was a lot of discussion around them now, and thinking about the Kitchen King's magical powers, they all wanted to stand up and confess to the Kitchen King directly.

"Hold on, hold on. The Kitchen King has given us the heavenly soldiers' meals, but we are allowed to take them home to share with our family. In other words, it is our private property. Besides, it has been so many days, if the Kitchen King is If we really summoned all the troops because of this matter, it wouldn’t have been delayed until now.”

Shen Qi gave Li Min a reassuring look.

Li Min felt relieved. As the squad leader, Shen Qi should know something.

"quiet!"

The soldiers shouted one by one.

The originally noisy venue suddenly became quiet.

"The Stove King is here!"

The order soldier tore his throat.

Liu Zhenhua still came at least.

Shen Qi happened to be at the front. He looked at the man holding the horse for the Stove King, and his heart finally died.
