What can Li Shimin say?

As the lord of a country and the nobles of the Nine Five, although he advocated frugality, he had never known many delicacies.

But the taste of this braised pork made him feel unsatisfied.

However, in order to preserve his dignity as an emperor, Li Shimin would not show that he had never seen the world before Zhao Chen.

"It's okay!" Li Shimin licked the grease that had not been wiped clean on his mouth without leaving any trace, and said this against his conscience.

"It's better than the pork I've eaten before!" Changsun Wuji agreed with his stomach.

But I can't sit straight.

When ordinary people saw it, they just thought that the two were starving ghosts who had not eaten for a long time.

Unexpectedly, one of them was the current emperor, and the other was the current emperor.

"Brother Zhao, I heard from your old servant that you gave him this skill?" Li Shimin asked curiously.

Zhao Chen's calligraphy and painting skills are enough to surprise them.

If even the pork that was never touched by the upper class had become so delicious because Zhao Chen became so delicious, Li Shimin would not know how to express his inner shock.

"I just told Uncle Fu how to do it. The main reason is that Uncle Fu has good craftsmanship." Zhao Chen smiled and said modestly.

This is a unique feeling to Li Shimin.

Sure enough, the boy in front of him was like a treasure.

Calligraphy, painting, and even cooking are something he has never heard of or seen.

Moreover, at a young age, he is so humble.

Even at my age, I couldn't help but feel a little arrogant.

This son has a bright future, but it’s a pity that his body seems to have hidden diseases.

Li Shimin thought to himself, but he didn't say it out loud.

"Brother Zhao, before today, I have always mistakenly believed that pork is cheap meat and only poor families will eat it. Today, Brother Zhao has completely changed my view of this meal." Li Shimin said with a smile.

Changsun Wuji smiled and nodded, expressing his agreement with Li Shimin's words.

I ate too much just now, and now he has been pushed to his throat by the braised pork.

Before I could digest it, I guess I would vomit out my words.

"If this pork preparation method can be implemented within the territory of the Tang Dynasty, and people in the world will compete to eat it, the Tang Dynasty will definitely be unprecedentedly powerful." Zhao Chen nodded and said.

Although he was suffering from hidden diseases and could not participate in the imperial examination, Zhao Chen was still very concerned about the country and country of the Tang Dynasty.

However, when Li Shimin heard Zhao Chen's words, he couldn't help but feel curious.

Zhao Chen said just now that he still knew some ways to govern the country.

Although Zhao Chen had already shocked Li Shimin enough, from calligraphy, painting, and even cooking skills, it was extremely shocking.

But this is just a few side-minded people and it is hard to wait for the elegant hall.

Although shocking, it is not unacceptable.

But how much can a young man know about this way of governing the country?

Li Shimin was intrigued and wanted to hear Zhao Chen's so-called "pork power" theory.

"Himmer—" Changsun Wuji burped again and looked at Zhao Chen with a smile.

They began to govern political affairs since they were teenagers, with decades of experience.

Zhao Chen, a teenager, dared to talk about political affairs in front of them, and he could not help but be suspected of playing a big sword in front of the public.

"Little brother, what does this pork have to do with whether my Tang Dynasty's country is strong or not?" Changsun Wuji said with a smile, with a hint of joking in his expression.

This afternoon, he was really hit by Zhao Chen.

Such a young man is so capable!

This time, I have to watch Zhao Chen a joke.

Zhao Chen glanced at the two people in front of him, shook his head and smiled, "Since the two are merchants who came from Shu, they naturally saw many officials along the way, and wealthy merchants fed beef!"

"Most of these beefs are taken from strong plowing oxen. In the early days of the Tang Dynasty, plowing oxen was so precious. How much plowing land will be abandoned for every loss of a plowing ox?"

"The abandonment of cultivated land and the displaced people will definitely be a hidden danger to the country!"

"Brother Zhao said that there are still many people in the territory of the Tang Dynasty who are secretly slaughtering oxen?"

"I remember that in the first year of Zhenguan, the saints promoted the Tang Dynasty law and strictly ordered the slaughter of food and plowing oxen!" Li Shimin frowned and said in a deep voice.

His eyes swept over Changsun Wuji, which made Changsun Wuji's heart tremble.

He didn't expect that Zhao Chen would actually say this.

Slaughtering food and plowing oxen has become a secret method of demonstrating the identity of officials, nobles, wealthy businessmen and giants.

Of course, only Li Shimin, who has lived in the deep palace for a long time, knows little.

Who knew that he was actually shaken off by Zhao Chen, a bastard, in front of Li Shimin.

Changsun Wuji now secretly blamed himself for being mean, and just asked a question and poked his backbone.

"Since that's the case, why don't anyone report to the official?" Li Shimin asked, with a hint of sharpness in his calm voice.

The ox was the foundation of the Tang Dynasty.

Those who eat beef, where is beef eaten, are clearly eating his lifeline of the Tang Dynasty.

"What my little brother is talking about may be an individual phenomenon, but I am curious about how this pork power country is saying?" Changsun Wuji asked immediately before Zhao Chen spoke.

Li Shimin glanced at Changsun Wuji, and his eagle-like gaze made Changsun Wuji dare not look directly at all.

Zhao Chen didn't care. He would listen to whatever the guests liked to listen to.

Just don't be too stingy when you take action later.

He didn't think there was anything strange about Lao Zhang in front of him, so he smiled and said, "If there were such delicious braised pork every day, would you still think about eating the tidy and hard beef?"

"Of course not!" Li Shimin responded casually, but was shocked and sweated in his heart.

The eyes that looked at Zhao Chen were no longer as calm as before.

Li Shimin looked at Zhao Chen with great care, as if he wanted to see something from Zhao Chen's face.

But his ears were already erect, waiting for Zhao Chen to say what he next.

"Compared with cattle and sheep, pigs can be slaughtered in one year, and their weight is as high as several hundred kilograms."

"And ordinary feeding only requires wild vegetables, and the cost savings are countless times."

"You two can think about it. Nowadays, how many people can eat a meal of mutton every month?"

Li Shimin did not answer.

Although the Tang Dynasty was much more stable than the wars in previous years, only wealthy families could afford this mutton.

Ordinary people can’t eat a meal of mutton a year.

Not to mention eating once a month.

This sentence is like a knife, stabbed in Li Shimin's heart.

After nine years of hard work, the prosperous country in the Tang Dynasty made him quite satisfied.

Zhao Chen's words just now made him fall into an ice cave.

It turns out that the Tang Dynasty is still too far away from being stable!

"Due to the lack of meat, most people suffer from hidden diseases, which invisibly reduces labor force."

"Have you ever thought about why I, a native of the Tang Dynasty, are far less tall than the northern alien race?"

"When the border guards and garrisons fight against the northern alien race, why can't the two fight against one of the alien races together?"

“Because we lack meat!”

Zhao Chen's words made Li Shimin sweat.

Changsun Wuji next to him was also full of surprise and doubt.

They always thought that these were created by nature, and that their people in the Tang Dynasty were born to be smaller than those in the northern alien race.

Who knows, it actually...

"If pork is popular, everyone in the Tang Dynasty can eat it, and the people in the Tang Dynasty will naturally be strong, the combat effectiveness of the army and the labor force in the fields will not be compared."

"If this is the case, how could my Tang Dynasty not be strong?"

After Zhao Chen said the last sentence, he felt his throat a little dry, maybe he had eaten some braised pork just now.

After taking a sip of herbal tea, the two people in front of them looked like they had never come back to their senses.??
