Chapter 509: Moral Benchmark

Su You continued to introduce: "Qingshou Palace and Baoci Palace should not be called buildings, but two sets of building systems. In addition to normal buildings, pipelines account for a large part, but they are all cleverly hidden.

, it’s just invisible from the surface.”

"In winter, some pipes can also provide heat to the palace. In summer, well water can be pumped to achieve a circulating cooling effect."

Coming to the kitchen, what is different from the current kitchen in Da Song Dynasty is that the setting here is also compact and orderly, and the walls are also used, with various types of shovels, spoons, egg beaters, steaming grids...

The brass sink is inlaid on the Yazhou green stone countertop, with solid wood cabinets underneath, similar to the design of later modern home kitchens, so it looks very spacious and tidy.

There are exquisite glass seasoning bottles on the stand, holding various seasonings. Under the eaves outside the kitchen, there are also a row of square pottery pots, in which onions, garlic and side vegetables are grown.

Su You said: "If the two palaces need soup, snacks or something at night, they can easily buy them here."

Zhao Xu refused to leave: "I heard that Mingrun you have always been good at eating. This kitchen looks so neat, so I will make a meal here and have lunch here."

Su You pointed to two large stone tanks outside the kitchen: "You can raise fish there."

Then he pointed to a row of cages next to the stone jar: "You can raise pigeons and quails there, but I'm afraid it won't be possible to raise chickens. The cries are too loud and it will affect your rest."

Zhao Xu didn't find it funny: "You are really a foodie, but you are overthinking it. The Queen Mother and the Empress may not see the cooks killing animals, but raising fish and quails is not a bad idea."

Su You lit a fire with bamboo charcoal on the small copper stove and said, "I'll cook some noodles for Your Majesty."

Except that there is no liquefied gas burner, the whole place is similar to the kitchen of later generations, and Su You is very good at it.

Take out two pieces of pickled mustard from the pickle jar and cut into thin strips.

Take out a piece of oily meat from a wax paper-sealed jar, scald it with hot water to wash away the excess oil, and cut it into small dices.

Heat up the soybean oil in a pan, fry three poached eggs and put them on a plate.

Then use the remaining hot oil in the pot to fry the chopped green onion until golden, remove and throw it away, add shredded mustard and diced pork, stir-fry, then add water and bring to a boil.

When boiling water, go outside the kitchen to pick garlic sprouts, chop onions and coriander into fine pieces. Also pick a handful of cabbage and wash it.

When the water boils, take out a handful of dry noodles from the cupboard, put them into the soup and shake them out.

Soon the noodles will be cooked, add the cabbage, then put the pot into three bowls, add some refined salt, chicken floss, pepper noodles, top with poached eggs, sprinkle with minced green onion and garlic, add a few drops of sesame oil, and raise your head

Asked: "Does Your Majesty like to eat sour food?"

Zhao Xu was swallowing his saliva, and only then did he react after hearing this: "Ah? It's okay..."

So Su You poured some balsamic vinegar into Zhao Xu's bowl and brought it to him. Then he gave one bowl to Wang Zhongzheng and kept another bowl for himself: "Then let's eat. This is called soy pot mustard oil and meat noodles, fried.

Egg!"

Wang Zhongzheng was dumbfounded when he was holding the bowl. He really wanted to eat it. Who knows how delicious this food is? However, he was eating at the same table with an official, and even if he had a hundred courages, he wouldn't dare!

After thinking about it for a while, I really couldn't bear to give up: "I, I'll go out to eat."

"No!" Zhao Xu stopped Wang Zhongzheng: "You eat here, Mingrun and I will go outside."

The monarch and his ministers sat on the small stone table under the pergola, enjoying the beautiful scenery of the pond while eating happily.

Zhao Xu ate happily. After finishing the meal, he drank all the noodle soup and burped unbridled. Then he looked at the bowl of suyou with resentment and said: "You should eat the original flavor first and add vinegar halfway through. This way you can

I got two flavors..."

Su You is very embarrassed, Guanjia, don’t you still want to eat my bowl? If you want to eat, I don’t dare to give you the rest!

Fortunately, Zhao Xu quickly changed the subject: "It's not easy to steal a moment of leisure..."

Su You smiled and said, "It's the duty of a king to wear good clothes and be well-dressed at night."

Zhao Xu looked at the pond: "Liu Chunzhong, deputy director of the Imperial Pharmacy Bureau, fell into the Bian River drunk the day before yesterday and drowned."

Su You said: "Since the person is dead, let's stop here."

Zhao Xu sneered: "My second emperor brother persuaded the queen to pay 50,000 yuan and become a shareholder of Huangsong Bank. It is really not easy for him to surrender."

Su You thought for a while: "If your Majesty is still dissatisfied, you can issue an edict. If Beijing Zhongbao Yinxuan and Qianpian want to participate in the issuance and exchange of Baobao, they must take Sitong Bank as an example and let the Emperor

Bank of Song checks the capital scale, operating conditions, liabilities, and daily transaction flow, and establishes a ledger according to the new accounting system and reports daily to reasonably determine the daily exchange amount and facilitate supervision."

Zhao Xu asked: "What do you mean?"

Su You said: "If Chao Yingxing wants to survive in the future, it must include the acceptance business of banknotes into its business scope, otherwise it will lose its advantage in the competition with its peers."

"So we leave the choice to them. If we want to continue to protect the profits of Chaoyin Bank, we must obediently let the bank come in for review."

"No matter whether they advance or retreat, it is impossible for them to disrupt the financial market and disrupt the economic order like they did during the Qingming Festival."

Zhao Xu thought for a moment from the perspective of his younger brother and uncle: "This is really a dilemma."

Su You smiled: "Your Majesty, what's so difficult about this? Joining a more stable and secure financial environment will only benefit them and not harm them. If it's really normal business behavior, what's the point?"

"What I'm worried about is nothing more than exposing my little family fortune to His Majesty's eyes."

"Isn't this good? Without those messy ideas, it is not their duty to use their abilities where they should be used? If the banks in Nantong Lane are willing to accept it, then the bank supervisory board will give it to Wang Ye and

It is not impossible for the Duke of the country to arrange two positions."

"Your Majesty, regarding banks, you only need to grasp one principle and discuss business, that's all."

Zhao Xu sighed: "Everything is out of your control. Even if you are the emperor, you can't do whatever you want. This is the only way. In this way, I have an explanation to my mother. By the way, the kitchen and bathroom you made are good.

, my side..."

Su You said: "Your Majesty is like this, it is the emperor's filial piety; but if your Majesty is like this, it is extravagant and lustful, and you are greedy for pleasure. I have no problem, but I am afraid that Mr. Sima will make your Majesty sad."

"These two sets are model designs. In the future, we will be responsible for improving the living conditions of the dignitaries in Bianjing City and obtaining benefits. When everyone uses them, the emperor will use them again, so that they will not shock the eyes and ears."

"These are still new things in Bianjing. In order to avoid gossip, I will not accept your majesty's order."

Zhao Xu was angry and was about to have a fit when Su You handed over his hand again: "The profits from the various inner sanctuaries that will be under your jurisdiction belong to your Majesty."

Zhao Xu froze there, either having an attack or not having an attack. Finally, he waved his sleeves angrily and stopped chatting with you!

"I'm going to Shenji Camp to have a look! You're still missing flowers, plants and furnishings, so hurry up and finish them. Oh, and get enough fireworks for next year's Holy Day!"

Su You quickly stood up and said, "Congratulations to Your Majesty. I will do my best."

…

After Sima Guang went to court, he returned home and his wife Zhang came up to greet him.

Among the moral benchmarks of the Song Dynasty, Sima Guang was one, Wang Anshi was another, and now, Su You is also one.

The criterion for evaluation is to have only one wife. No concubines or prostitutes.

In the Song Dynasty, where people were not short of money, the style of three people was extremely rare.

Sima Guang married the daughter of Zhang Cun, a bachelor of Lao Longtuge. She was reasonable and virtuous. After more than thirty years of marriage, she had no children. Sima Guang didn't take it to heart, and he never thought about taking a concubine and having children, but Mrs. Zhang was anxious to death.

.

Once, she bought a beautiful woman behind Sima Guang's back and quietly placed it in the bedroom before going out on an excuse. Sima Guang saw her and ignored her, and went to the study to read.

The beauty also followed to the study, took down a book, and asked delicately: "Excuse me, sir, what kind of book is Zhongcheng?"

Sima Guang was ten feet away from her and replied with a straight face, "Zhongcheng is an official position, not a book!" The beauty was very bored and left disappointed.

Another time, Sima Guang went to his father-in-law's house to enjoy flowers. Mrs. Zhang and her mother-in-law worked together and secretly arranged for a beautiful maid. The maid brought tea into the study, and Sima Guang said angrily: "Get out! Madam is not here, why did you come to see me?

!”

The next day, all the guests at the father-in-law's house knew about this and admired him very much, saying that he was just like a replica of "Sima Xiangru and Zhuo Wenjun" growing old together.
