Molested Zulong at the beginning

This matter is very important, if there is a way to solve it, that would be the best, in case everyone pins their hopes on Bai Su, but he has nothing to do about it.

Sister Zheng was very worried that the pressure of public opinion from all over the court would overwhelm Bai Su, a heroic young man.

After all, talented people tend to be arrogant, more delicate in mind, think more about things, and can't stand others' accusations and critical eyes on them.

How many amazing young geniuses in history died early before they had time to bloom and bear fruit.

For example, Gan Luo was appointed prime minister at the age of 12.

He once became famous at a young age, and was hailed as a rising star who will surpass Wang Jian, Major General Li Xin.

It's all because of a major blow from a failure, which makes them devastated.

Sister Zheng didn't want a world-shattering talent like Bai Su to die early because of a huge blow like the previous two.

After all, Daxia is really short of talents, especially a small financial expert like Bai Su who is good at governing the country and collecting money for the court, that is even more precious.

Although with Bai Su's brazen character, she shouldn't care about what other people say, but just in case, it's better for her to ask in private.

In case Bai Su was helpless, as long as she stood in front, the ministers in the court would not dare to say anything.

Think of it...

Sister Zheng took Li Si and Wang Jian directly to Bai Su's mansion in the heavy rain.

at this time.

Bai Su was eating hot pot with Da Qiao and Xiao Qiao, two little maids.

In the rainy season for many consecutive days, the damp and cold air makes people restless. There is nothing better than eating a delicious hot pot and sweating profusely to make people feel more comfortable physically and mentally.

Even though it was pouring rain outside, it was still difficult to conceal the strong smell of hot pot.

Sister Zheng smiled: "It seems that we came at the right time."

Wang Jian sniffed his nose, his eyes lit up, and he slammed on the door, shouting, "Master Bai, open the door, I can already smell it."

When Bai Su heard the voice outside the door, he couldn't help being stunned: "It seems to be Wang Jian's voice, why is she here?"

"Wang Jian?"

When Xiao Qiao heard this familiar name, she couldn't help asking in surprise: "This name is so familiar, could it be Wu Chenghou?"

Bai Su nodded: "Who else can there be except her?"

"Since you are an important minister in the court, then of course you can't neglect it. I'm going to bring some dishes and chopsticks."

Da Qiao got up virtuously and went to the kitchen to get the dishes.

Bai Su got up and went to open the door.

"Your Majesty, Your Majesty, why are you here?"

When he opened the door, he was stunned.

Wang Jian was not the only one who came.

Sister Zheng stood quietly in front of the mansion gate, while Li Si held up an oiled paper umbrella to shield her from the rain.

She was wearing a black palace dress, with exquisite golden patterns embroidered on her body, showing a graceful and luxurious air. Her jet-black hair was pulled up high, and a light jade hairpin was pinned to it.

Her beautiful face, set off by the dim candlelight, looked alluring.

Sister Zheng looked at Bai Su in front of her, and smiled: "This is not a place to talk, let's go in and talk."

Bai Su made a gesture of invitation: "Everyone, please..."

Sister Zheng glanced curiously at the steaming hot pot on the promenade, and asked, "Are you eating?"

Bai Su nodded, and said: "It's been raining non-stop for the past few days, and the weather is a bit cold, so I made some food. As the saying goes, whoever comes is a guest, you don't need to be polite."

"Haha, then I won't be polite."

Wang Jian didn't regard himself as an outsider at all, he directly lifted up his skirt, sat in front of the table, picked up the bowl and chopsticks skillfully, as if he was at home.

She picked up the chopsticks and ate the sea stuffed. The fresh and tender fish balls, delicious lamb slices, mixed with sesame sauce, garlic, and chives, made her unable to stop at all.

Li Si watched her action, and her beautiful eyebrows frowned: "I said Wang Jian, you are an important minister after all, don't act like you haven't eaten in eight lifetimes, it's really insulting."

Wang Jian smiled mysteriously: "You don't understand now, Mr. Bai's culinary skills are unrivaled in the world, even the imperial chefs in Xianyang Palace are far behind."

"I once asked Mr. Bai to write down the recipe for the ingredients, but the cooks in the mansion still couldn't make out the taste. Mr. Bai's food is delicious here. If you don't believe me, try it. I promise you will eat it once. I will never forget it again."

Li Si shook his head slightly, and he didn't believe what Wang Jian said at all. No matter how delicious the food was, the difference in the difference was probably just a flattery.

She politely picked up a piece and put it in her mouth, then froze for a moment.

This... this smells delicious!

The tenderness of the meat, mixed with the aroma of the bottom ingredients, and the purification of small ingredients, this complex taste really makes the mouth water.

Sister Zheng spent a day discussing with the ministers in the court, and she was also a little hungry.

She picked up the chopsticks and started to eat. After taking a bite of the meatball, she was taken aback: "This...does it taste like beef?"

"beef?"

Li Si was stunned, and took a sip, and found that the fresh and tender meatballs were beef.

She immediately looked at Bai Su: "Master Bai, it is against the law to kill a cow, how can you kill a cow privately!!!"

Cattle have always been a very important production tool for the Central Plains, and the government does not allow private killing of cattle.

Even if some cattle are too old to farm and need to be slaughtered, they have to report to the government before they can be slaughtered, but the quality of the old beef has become particularly tough and unpalatable.

Such tender beef is obviously not old.

Seeing that everyone was looking at him, Bai Su couldn't help but rubbed his nose, and said, "This cow accidentally suffered from heatstroke, and its health is failing, so I have to eat it."

Li Sidei frowned and said: "It's been raining non-stop for the past few days, how can there be a theory of heatstroke?"

Wang Jian on the side couldn't help smiling when he heard the words, it's not like she hasn't done this thing of stealing beef before.

However, it is generally used as an excuse to make up some reasons that the cow was accidentally injured or fell to death. The officials who came to inquire in Xianyang also knew it well, and generally turned a blind eye to this, as if they hadn't seen it.

Using heat stroke as an excuse like Bai Su's is a little too perfunctory.

Facing Li Si's gaze, Bai Su rubbed his nose: "Maybe it's my cattle, which are more afraid of heat."

Li Si was choked for a moment: "You..."

Sister Zheng stood up to smooth things over and said, "Okay, okay, it's not a big deal. Bai Su was not good at taking care of it, which caused the innocent cow to die of heat stroke. Remember to pay the fine to the government, and the matter will be exposed."

"Yes……"

Seeing that Sister Zheng said that, Li Si had no choice but to nod in agreement.

After all, it's just some trivial matters, even if she goes deeper into it, there will be no results.

You can't really throw Bai Su into the dungeon just because he stole the food, His Majesty can't bear it either.

Bai Su looked at Sister Zheng: "Your Majesty braved the heavy rain to come here not just for the sake of having a meal here, right?"

"Sure enough, I can't hide it from you, the thing is like this..."

Sister Zheng put down the bowls and chopsticks in her hand and said: "Because of the continuous torrential rain, many floods have occurred all over the world, and a large number of people have become refugees."

"Floods flooded, rivers broke embankments, mountain roads collapsed, and many official roads were cut off, so they were forced to take more steep and muddy trails."

"Because these places are too narrow, many places cannot be passed by vehicles and horses, and can only be transported by manpower. It will take at least a month to transport the grain in this pass."

"But in many places, the grain in the granary can't last half a month."

"I originally wanted to buy grain from the people to meet immediate needs, but the local situation is complicated. The survivors of the six countries, the gentry, the gentry, and the merchants are mixed in, and they have hoarded grain in large quantities. There is no food to collect in the local area."

"Coupled with the continuous spread of rumors by the remnants of the Six Kingdoms, the conflict between the local government and the government has intensified, gradually showing signs of turning into large-scale riots."

"You...is there any way to transport the relief food in this pass to stabilize the hearts of the people?"

As her words fell, Li Si and Wang Jian at the side also looked at Bai Su with serious expressions.

They have been discussing in the court hall for a long time, but they can't figure out how to reduce the one-month journey to ten days, and they are completely at a loss what to do about it.

Bai Su in front of him is the last ray of hope, if even he can't help it.

Then the imperial court will completely abandon the preparations for disaster relief, and start preparing to gather soldiers and horses, and use the army to forcibly suppress and suppress the rebellion.

A war broke out within the Central Plains is inevitable. In the future, 20, [-], or even millions of people will die in this war.

Whether this war breaks out, and the fate of millions of refugees in the future will all depend on Bai Su's next words.

Under such pressure, even a veteran like Wang Jian, who had been killed from a mountain of corpses and a sea of ​​blood, subconsciously swallowed his saliva.

Li Si also held his breath, a thin layer of sweat appeared on his fair forehead,

After all, ruling the life and death of others with one sentence does not bring the slightest pleasure, but only a heavy burden on the chest, making people breathless.

Bai Su stroked his chin, and pondered for a long time: "Since the car can't be used, why don't we just use horses and oxen to help carry the goods, so that the speed and efficiency will be much faster."

Sister Zheng shook her head slightly, and said: "The ground is extremely muddy, and the mountain roads are rugged and narrow. In many places, it is difficult for cattle and horses to pass. We can only rely on human power to cross the difficult mountain roads."

Bai Su smiled mysteriously: "Your Majesty misunderstood, as the so-called white horse is not a horse, the cow and horse I am referring to are not four-legged living horses, but cows and horses made by myself. Since I ate a bite of your majesty's beef, I will return it to you." Ten thousand cows and horses..."

Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and looked at Bai Su with the same gaze of a charlatan.

After all, what Bai Su said was too evil, the cows and horses were fabricated by the heavens, how could they be created by mortals.

Could it be that this Bai Su also knows the magic of making people out of clay like Empress Nuwa?

But Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes lit up. She has known Bai Su for a long time, so she has seen so many delicate things in Bai Su's hands, so she knows that Bai Su never tells lies.

As long as he said that, he must have some confidence in his heart.

She couldn't help asking: "Could it be that... the young master also knows how to fabricate cattle and horses?"

Bai Su said with a smile on his face: "Well, I don't know if Your Majesty has heard of it before, but it's a fool."

Chapter 120 Miss Han's News

"Wooden cow and horse, what is that?"

Sister Zheng was stunned for a moment, and then seemed to think of something, her phoenix eyes looked straight at Bai Su: "Could it be... this thing can climb mountains and mountains, and transport food and supplies?"

Bai Su smiled and said: "That's right, this thing is not a cow or a horse, but it is better than a cow or a horse. A child can easily transport three to four hundred catties of grain in a cart. Even on a rugged mountain road, it is like walking on flat ground. It can greatly increase the speed and efficiency of transportation.”

"There is such a strange thing in the world!!!"

There was a touch of surprise in Sister Zheng's phoenix eyes: "I don't know, where is this thing, can you let me go up and take a look?"

Bai Su nodded: "Your Majesty wants to see, how could I refuse to let you in, Xiao Qiao... go and get the picture drawn by me, Master, and put it in the bookcase."

Xiao Qiao blinked her black and white eyes: "Understood, master."

The little girl ran in quickly, and after a while, she came over with a rolled picture scroll in her hand.

"Please look, Your Majesty, this is a wooden cow and a horse..." Bai Su handed over the scroll.

Sister Zheng looked down impatiently, with a look of anticipation on her beautiful cheeks.

Even Wang Jian and Li Si, who were on the side, moved over curiously, wanting to see what the wooden cow and horse that Bai Su was talking about looked like.

Sister Zheng gave him a strange look: "I said Bai Su, are you sure this thing is useful?"

Bai Su was taken aback for a moment, and looked down, his eyelids couldn't help but twitch wildly.

I saw that what was spread on the desk was not a design drawing, but a picture of a erotic palace.

On it is a small man who is three feet tall, and a plump wife who is seven feet tall, having a frank relationship in a biscuit shop.

The title also reads, Dalang Golden Lotus Bathing Picture.

There is also an impromptu poem next to it, a man of three feet and a wife of seven feet, the thrush needs to build two ladders, and when he comes to lie on a mandarin duck pillow at night, his head and feet are not even together.

Not to mention, this poem is really apt.

Wang Jian stroked his chin, looked at the scroll with great interest, and marveled.

But Li Si was taken aback for a moment, and then his fair cheeks flushed red.

She glared at Bai Su with some embarrassment: "Master Bai...is this what you call a cow and a horse?"

"Ahem, I took it wrong..."

A look of embarrassment appeared on Bai Su's face, while rolling up the scroll, he glared at Xiao Qiao beside him: "Why did you bring this here?"

Xiao Qiao lowered her head and said aggrievedly: "Didn't the master say that you want to take the picture that a child can push a cart?"
