Han Du couldn't help but shake his head in his heart. This was because he didn't know that trouble comes from the mouth.
I don't know if Lan Yu is used to being in the military camp, or if it's because of his nature. There is no door to his mouth and he likes to talk big words.
He would always say that his wine was the best in the whole capital. Where did you put Lao Zhu? Where do you put the prince?
What's even more outrageous is that Lao Zhu is often dragged out to attack. What do you mean it's not worse than the royal wine in the palace? Do you still want to be on an equal footing with Lao Zhu?
"Brother, be careful!" Han Du's face instantly turned grim. Staring at Lan Yu, he persuaded: "The emperor is the king's father, so the expenses are naturally the best. Although you are doing well, you absolutely dare not compare with the emperor."
Seeing Han Du's solemn words, Lan Yu realized that she had made a mistake. His aura weakened, "Brother, that's it. There is no other meaning when I say this."
Finally, he added, "Besides, it's not like Oshu Honhou has never drank..."
Han Du saw that Lan Yu Youzi did not realize the seriousness of the matter, so he had to patiently persuade him: "Brother, the speaker may not mean it, but the listener may not mean it. After all, the emperor is the supreme king in the world now, which is different from before. Some words, In the past, I could be more casual, but now I may not say so.”
It's not easy for Han Du to speak too harshly, as Lan Yu has an upright temperament. If you speak too harshly, it will be self-defeating if it arouses his rebellious psychology.
"Okay, brother knows." Lan Yu waved his hand impatiently.
Han Du didn't say anything more. Looking at Lan Yu's expression, you could tell that he didn't take his words to heart. But it's useless no matter how anxious Han Du is. It's impossible to do this kind of thing overnight. He can only figure it out slowly and slowly change Lan Yu in the future.
Lan Yu continued to stare at Han Du and said: "If you really have good wine, then go back and move here now, and we will get drunk before we stop."
Han Du sat firmly on the stool without moving, and said with a smile: "I don't have it now, but I know a way to brew fine wine. If you can wait a few days, brother, I can brew it for you. If you are a man, you have to ride the strongest horse and drink the strongest wine."
His eyes glanced contemptuously in front of him, and he smacked his lips, "There's no point in drinking wine like this."
Seeing that Han Du said that the wine was worthless, everyone else looked at each other, not knowing whether to believe what Han Du said.
Lan Yu didn't believe it. Although he didn't know what the strongest wine Han Du said was like, he knew that no matter what kind of wine it was, it would be impossible to brew it in just a few days.
Lan Yu stared at Han Du and suddenly smiled. He knew that Han Du was afraid and deliberately made excuses to get away.
He said: "Then let's make a bet. If my dear brother can brew the kind of strong liquor you mentioned within ten days, then our last incident will be wiped out. But if you can't, then you can put this on the table. How about drinking all the wine?"
Han Du looked at the dozen or so large wine jars on the table, each of which might hold thirty kilograms of wine. If you really let yourself drink it alone, you won't be able to drink it to death.
But Han Du was confident. He stood up, reached out and gave Lan Yu a high-five, and said with a smile: "It's a deal."
After saying that, he stood up to say goodbye, waved his sleeves and left.
Before Han Du returned home, Lao Zhu sneaked up to him.
"What is the important matter that the emperor is looking for?"
Lao Zhu leaned on the dragon chair, listened to Han Du's words, and said slowly: "A few days ago, Duke Xin came to me and said that he wanted to open a restaurant. I hope I will allow it."
When Han Du heard this, he suddenly understood.
It seems that Tang He is not slow, and he actually came to see Lao Zhu.
Lao Zhu paused here, looked up at Han Du, and then continued: "Is it your idea?"
Hearing this, Han Du smiled flatteringly and tried to explain, "Your Majesty Mingjian, it cannot be said to be Wei Chen's idea. I just saw that Duke Xin liked to eat these, so I mentioned it to him."
Han Du's sophistry was of no use, and Lao Zhu knew it.
It's just that Lao Zhu didn't want to pursue Han Du, so he didn't say anything more. After hesitating for a moment, Lao Zhu said: "Tang He has been living more and more energetically for so many years. He is already very old and still thinking about what kind of restaurant to open. It's just that if you open a restaurant, just open a restaurant. Why do you want to put me down? Pull it up? Do you think I can afford these three melons and two jujubes?"
"Yes, yes, the emperor is so rich, how can he care about such a small amount of money?" Han Du immediately laughed, "It's probably because Duke Xin is thinking about your majesty, so he came to show his shame in front of your majesty."
Han Du didn't know what exactly Tang He said to Lao Zhu. Judging from Lao Zhu's appearance, Tang He probably told him that he was willing to give Lao Zhu a share. As for whether he asked Lao Zhu to help encourage everyone to eat seafood, Han Du didn't know.
Lao Zhu listened and was noncommittal. Stand up and take a few steps back and forth. He stopped and turned around and asked Han Du: "Do you think it is really necessary for me to call on the people to eat those things?"
Sure enough, Tang He also told Lao Zhu about this.
Han Du suddenly looked solemn when he heard this and said: "It is absolutely necessary, Your Majesty. Since ancient times, there has never been enough food in the world. If the people can eat one more mouthful of seafood, then they can save one mouthful of food. If If seafood can account for half of the people's food for a year, then the same half of the food can be saved. If so much food can be saved every year, the court will no longer have to worry about years of famine or disaster, even if it is In a year of great disaster, the imperial court will have enough food to feed the people."
When there is food in hand, there is no panic in the heart, whether it is the court or the people. As long as we can feed the people, the day of peace is not far away.
Now the Ming Dynasty has no food reserves. Although Lao Zhu decreed that every county should have granaries. In good years, the people's excess grain is stored in the granary, and in times of disaster, the grain is taken out to help the people.
It can be said that Lao Zhu’s policy is good. However, due to the low yield of grain per acre at this time, not much can be stored, and droughts and floods occur frequently. This year may be a good year and we have just stored a little grain, but next year we may encounter drought or floods. The food that was finally stored up had to be used to help the people.
In this way, this policy is almost useless and of little use.
The fundamental reason is that there is too little food.
After saying that, Han Du stared at Lao Zhu closely, wanting to know what Lao Zhu was thinking. After all, the matter of opening a food source had already been discussed with Lao Zhu. But there has been no news, and Han Du is not sure what Lao Zhu is thinking.
