Chapter 453 Discussion on Cake
"A glass of respect to the old shop owner!" Cao Cao didn't know what to say, so he simply raised the corn juice in his hand.
"Give me a cup of that old guy!" Wang Yong also picked up a cup of soy milk and Xun Yu's cup. At this moment, he was a little sad. The old shop owner was in poor health, but he remained very energetic in front of him.
Actually, if you think about it carefully, there were still many signs that showed this at that time. The problem was that I really didn't notice it at that time.
After breakfast time, Cao Cao and Xun Yu also went back to work. Wang Yong had about one to two hours of rest time. He could handle the housework, and of course he could take a little rest. Who made him the chef? The highest person in charge of the kitchen!
"Preparing lunch ingredients is not a dish that takes time, but the preliminary preparation must be done well. Even if it is more meticulous, it can make diners feel comfortable." Wang Yong reminded.
"Yes!" Cao Shuo and others answered one after another.
"Then... I'll leave for an hour..." Wang Yong said and turned around and left. This was not the first time.
The sous chef and the chefs naturally would not say anything. Everyone knew that Wang Yong was planning to go to the palace. However, even though he knew, the smart ones obediently shut their mouths.
More than ten minutes later, in the palace, Liu Xie was teasing Xiao Liu Feng. The three-month-old Xiao Liu Feng could laugh, crawl, and even started to learn to stand and walk. From the beginning of his ability to crawl, he became a troublemaker.
"I was born and still looked like a hairless monkey. I was three months old. I didn't expect that I was already very similar to you." Wang Yong walked in, and he didn't need to report to come to the harem.
"What are you saying?" Liu Xie pointed to Liu Feng and retorted directly, "Looking at her eyes and mouth, they were carved out of the same mold as you!"
"The problem is that your eyes and mouth are similar to me!" Wang Yong carried the mother and daughter into his arms.
"Wow~~~~~" Xiao Liufeng still wanted to play but didn't want to be restricted, so he started crying. In desperation, he even urinated and directly urinated Wang Yong.
"Okay, it seems that she prefers to crawl around on the ground..." Wang Yong had no choice but to let her go. The problem is, is it so easy for a baby to stop crying? He doesn't just cry and can't stop at all!
"You'd better go change your clothes first! I'll coax her..." Liu Xie pointed to the wardrobe not far away, then picked up Liu Feng, and began to hum a song to coax her.
There were Wang Yong's clothes in the wardrobe, some of which were made by Liu Xie in boredom, and some were prepared by others. When the morning court was not held, Liu Xie was relatively idle. She also simply looked at some government affairs and military affairs, and it may not be considered as a matter of being in charge. However, the three officials did their own things, which was less restrictive.
"Duan Wei's words are replying..." When Wang Yong changed his clothes, Liu Xie said, "Zhong Yao can almost set off for Guanzhong. Do you think I want to go back to Luoyang?"
The emperors of the Han Dynasty were all in Luoyang, Xudu, just the size and size of this palace, which was the level of a subordinate capital.
"Hanoi is now Yuan Shao's territory. Go to Luoyang at this time..." Wang Yong shook his head. Yuan Shao would definitely not miss this opportunity to bring Liu Xie to Hebei.
"That's right... I just didn't expect that none of the Yuan clans were Han officials." Liu Xie was a little unhappy.
"It's not that I don't want it, but that I can't do it... The three masters of the four generations have already been considered at the peak of the aristocratic family, which also means that the interests have been divided up long ago. The people behind cannot make progress, and the people ahead are becoming increasingly unbearable.
Only by stepping closer can you redistribute the interests. Otherwise, the Yuan family would be divided into two parts. The previous division was only temporarily alleviated this process." Wang Yong saw it very clearly. Not to mention Yuan Shu, Yuan Shao had no way out. The family that was so big that it was actually a pressure.
"That's right..." Liu Xie suddenly thought of the Han Dynasty. In fact, the Liu family is the largest family in the world, including the Yuan family in Runan, the Yang family in Hongnong, the Wang family in Taiyuan, etc., and they are actually all dependent on the Liu family.
But as time goes by, more and more families grow up, such as the Chen family in Xia Pi, the Guo family in Yingchuan, and the fewer the benefits are, and the fewer the ones are distributed to the following families. Otherwise, they can only make a breakthrough from the interests of the Liu family.
The previous emperors were just using knives on themselves or "pained". In the end, the Liu family was empty and the family below became bigger and hard to control. The Yellow Turban chaos was just a fuse. Without this, there would be other chaos.
"In other words, Yuan Shao also began to face this problem!" Liu Xie understood.
The cake is so big, and it’s just two ways to continue: either give up your own portion or make the cake bigger. It’s not easy for Yuan Shao to divide the cake with fear. But there is no problem... Who will make the cake for you? I can’t say it, but I feel resentful and snatch the cake away directly, and then there will be nothing!
"The scope of the imperial court's control now is Yanzhou, Yuzhou, Yangzhou, Sizhou, and the newly established Yongzhou. The cake should be able to last for a while." Liu Xie thought for a while.
"Yes, but the ultimate goal is to bring back all the territory I originally controlled... However, even so, it is actually only three or four hundred years of consumption." Wang Yong had already changed his clothes.
"What should I do?" Liu Xie was a little worried.
"What else can it do?" Wang Yong thought for a while, "it's nothing more than to continue to make the cake bigger! Either go north, east, or south, or go west. The road is made. As long as there is land, it can cultivate and feed people, then our Chinese nation, even in the desert, can survive!"
"But the east is already the sky, the south is a wilderness, the west is a desert, and the north is a permanent tundra..." Liu Xie thought for a while, and seemed to have heard someone say it when he was a child.
"It's hard to say!" Wang Yong shook his head, "At least it's time to warm the north. Besides, when it comes to solving the problem of keeping cold, it may not be impossible to live there. Maybe it can also provide more meat to the Central Plains through the cattle and sheep trade. At the same time, they need to keep warm and keep the food price stable;
Who can guarantee whether there is vast and rich land outside the desert in the west? Since we can live tenaciously in Jiuzhen Sunnan in the south, why can't we continue to go south? Outside the sea, who can guarantee that there is no more open and richer land? There was no way before, and in the future, we will develop sea boats, and the sky is vast, so where can we not go?"
"You see far more than me..." Liu Xie hugged Wang Yong directly from behind, "Sometimes I think, maybe you can be the emperor, maybe it's better for the world."
"I'm just a chef... Even if I want to be a man, I just want to be your man..." Wang Yong turned around and hugged Liu Xie.
"It's an old couple... I'm still saying such sour words..." Liu Xie joked, but his heart was sweet.
