Chapter 1432: Blessings of the common people
Making wine will waste food.
At one time, winemaking was banned in many dynasties. On the one hand, it was to eliminate the trend of luxury, and on the other hand, it was also to fear that food would be wasted.
Therefore, Emperor Hongzhi mentioned this issue.
Wen Yansheng said in surprise: "Your Majesty, don't you know that Xishan is trying his best to increase the grain output?"
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Fang Jifan and Zhu Houzhao suspiciously.
I really don't know!
Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan looked at each other, and Fang Jifan said calmly: "Your Majesty, there is something happening: No labor is not rich, no farming is not stable. Now the Xishan Research Institute and the Military Farm Institute are doing their best to do this. However, they are not yet clear, so they dare not report to seek credit."
This explanation was originally very satisfying to Emperor Hongzhi. In his opinion, Fang Jifan was still very safe in some major events.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled with anticipation and said, "This is a good thing. If the grain yield can reach 600 or 700 kilograms per mu, then I will be worry-free."
Six hundred, seven hundred, not a small number.
Especially for rice and wheat fields.
Zhu Houzhao winked, and his goal was obviously not just that.
On the side, Wen Yansheng had already poured a glass of wine for Emperor Hongzhi.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at the small cup and couldn't help but frown and said, "How come this cup is so small?"
"This is distilled wine..."
Emperor Hongzhi was in a bad mood, and today he was drinking to relieve his boredom. He sighed and said, "Do you really think I don't have the alcohol tolerance? I'm just worried that drinking will make you miss the problem."
Wen Yansheng was speechless and couldn't help looking at Zhu Houzhao as if inquiring.
Zhu Houzhao gave a thumbs up: "How magnificent, come on, my son will change the big cup for his father."
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao personally went to get the big cup for Emperor Hongzhi.
In this era, the main focus is on rice wine, so it is really too stingy like the small cups of white wine in later generations.
Zhu Houzhao took a ox horn cup and poured it over himself, with a few deep smiles on her face.
Emperor Hongzhi looked around and said, "This wine is crystal clear, but..."
As he said that, he picked up the ox horn cup and poured the wine into his mouth.
only……
The wine entered his throat and suddenly...it was like a fire, and his throat suddenly became so spicy that it seemed to be unconscious.
Like a ball of fire.
Immediately afterwards... the wine entered the esophagus, and Emperor Hongzhi felt his whole body burning. His face suddenly turned blood red, and sweat as big as beans suddenly oozed out.
When the wine entered his stomach, he felt his abdomen burning, and the flame seemed to have rushed back to his throat.
Emperor Hongzhi yelled twice, but he couldn't speak for a while.
With a bit of success, Zhu Houzhao raised his small cup, took a sip of the distilled wine, and then raised his thumbs up and said, "Father, the emperor is so full, and the sons can't get it."
Emperor Hongzhi subconsciously pinched his throat.
Huh...hot...spicy...
Xiao Jing was watching from the side and was startled.
After a while, Emperor Hongzhi said two words: "Good wine!"
"Come again, full!"
This time it was Zhu Houzhao's turn to be speechless, damn...
Wen Yansheng and Fang Jifan's faces also changed.
Emperor Hongzhi smiled generously and said, "Come on, you guys come too, all of them are changed into big cups, all of them are full, I have already done it for respect, and I have given me a sip."
"This...this..." Fang Jifan said frowningly: "Your Majesty, I will still have to hold the child when I go back later."
Emperor Hongzhi glared: "What does this mean? I have so many reasons to drink with me. If I don't drink, I'm deceiving the emperor."
“…”
The wine is full.
The three of them were like prisoners about to beheaded, and they dries up in one go, and suddenly... Fang Jifan felt that he was going to die, and he was trying hard to cough, and he couldn't stand it... The feeling of burning his throat...
Emperor Hongzhi ordered people to fill all the cups, but he took the lead in drinking the wine from the ox horn cup. The first time I drank it, I felt so spicy, but this second cup began to enjoy this feeling. At this moment, my whole body was hot, my body was sweating, my whole body was boiling, and my blood seemed to be boiling, but... it hurts, how happy.
Emperor Hongzhi said proudly: "Come on, continue."
"Father, stop drinking." Zhu Houzhao pulled Emperor Hongzhi's sleeve: "Drink again, you'll be drunk."
Emperor Hongzhi looked at his empty cup: "I have already drunk it, it's your turn now."
Zhu Houzhao looked embarrassed: "..."
"I'm not afraid of getting drunk, are you still afraid of getting drunk? Drink all of them."
…………
Have three glasses of wine.
Emperor Hongzhi barely felt a little overwhelmed.
He smiled and looked at Zhu Houzhao and Fang Jifan.
Zhu Houzhao grabbed Fang Jifan's arm, sniffed alcohol, and said, "Oh, this big pig's hooves are a little thin. Who can raise this? Kill him."
After saying that, Zhu Houzhao bared her teeth and gnawed her wildly.
Fang Jifan shrank his hand and cursed: "Who is a dog-like thing, who bites my foot? This foot is for walking."
...
Wen Yansheng could hold on, after all, he had practiced it. He was surprised by Emperor Hongzhi's alcohol tolerance, but he sat upright.
Emperor Hongzhi looked at Wen Yansheng with a smile and said, "Mr. Wen is really a huge number."
Wen Yansheng said, "Caomin accompanied His Majesty for two more drinks?"
Emperor Hongzhi waved his hand and kept a little sober: "No, no, drink moderately, and you will really get drunk. Seeing Mr. Wen here, I envy you. It seems that even if you are a chef, it may not be a bad thing. Everything is inferior, but if you are a good student, it would be a bit of a bad idea."
Wen Yansheng looked at Emperor Hongzhi with a smile: "Your Majesty is such a bad word."
Emperor Hongzhi raised his eyes in surprise and said in surprise: "Oh, where is I missing?"
Wen Yansheng said, "Your Majesty is happy to see the people. This is because the ministers are officials. Even if they resign, they are respected in this western mountain. They are also cared for by the crown prince and the Duke of Qi. They live a worry-free life, just to be obsessed with the kitchen. But what does a real chef look like? Most of them live in poverty and must have wives and children at home. They go out early and come back late, and all the spare money they earn needs to be spent at home. Although they kill chickens and cook sheep in the kitchen every day, they will be able to eat it.
What I eat at the time is just plain rice. In the hot kitchen, even if the weather is so hot, I still have to be loyal to my duties. Looking at the big stove, the hot oil splashed and hit my body, and the whole body was covered with wounds burned by the hot oil. The so-called silk and silk are not silkworm breeders. This is what the chef should have. Moreover, they are not only hard, but most of them are poor, and even have low status. They are despised by others. Will Your Majesty still envy the chefs you say?”
Emperor Hongzhi: "..."
After a long time, he sighed quietly before saying, "I understand, I take it for granted. Thank you Mr. Wen for your advice."
Wen Yansheng said: "This is why everything is inferior. Only by studying high school students can you become famous and fame. Only by having fame and fame can you be superior. For example, the grass people, because of fame, even if they like kitchens, they are elegant and happy. They are like the seven sages of the bamboo forest. They are like Ruan Xian who loves to play the pipa; Liu Ling is addicted to alcohol and unruly; Ji Kang likes to make iron; Ruan Ji plays the zither all day long. They are scholars, scholars, they play the zither, wrought iron, and play the pipa [
.】, Love to drink, becomes a elegant thing, but how many people who play pipa on the street, love to drink, and make irons in blacksmith shops can become Ji Kang and Liu Ling? The monarchs of all generations have sought great governance, but in my opinion, the great governance they seek is nothing more than the great governance that people like Ji Kang and Ruan Ji hope for. In the world, it is unfair. Scholars are still scholars, blacksmiths or blacksmiths."
Emperor Hongzhi listened and was speechless.
He thought for a long time: "So the gentleman thinks that everything is inferior, but only reading is high. Is this sentence wrong?"
"Yes, not right." Wen Yansheng looked at Emperor Hongzhi deeply and exhaled alcohol: "For scholars, isn't this the right sentence? But for ordinary people, it may not be the case. Just scholars told them that this sentence was right, so they naturally felt that maybe... this is right. Of course... reading is good, reading is clear, reading is clear, reading is clear, and reading is clear, the court should have advocated reading, and reading is able to distinguish between high and low, well... the grass people are also scholars, and this matter... should not be discussed too much."
Emperor Hongzhi smiled bitterly and said, "There are also jackals among scholars. I have seen a lot in the past, but today I have seen it particularly profoundly."
Wen Yansheng was not afraid at all in front of Emperor Hongzhi, but said with a smile: "The blacksmiths who are in the West Mountain are of different quality. Some are just perfunctory and spend a lot of time. Some are meticulous in exercise every day, and they are as careful as hair. The abrasive tools they make are not different."
Emperor Hongzhi suddenly said nothing.
After a long time, Emperor Hongzhi stood up and said, "Mr. Wen said, "I mentioned something about me. Oh... What is the injustice of heaven? Heaven has no emotions and will not distinguish between good and bad. People ruling all the world's mistakes on heaven is an injustice to heaven. After all, the unfair things in this world still come from people, and the person who masters the artifacts. This person... I have thought about it for a long time. Can I change such injustice? I think... it cannot be done. This is not a virtuous monarch of ten generations, and it may not be possible to do it. Of course, this crime lies with me. I can shirk it, but I can also try to make the world more peaceful. Even if I cannot achieve real great governance, at least tomorrow is better than today, even if it is a little better, it will be worth the rest of my life."
Wen Yansheng quickly stood up and bowed deeply to Emperor Hongzhi: "Your Majesty has this heart, it is a blessing for the people."
