"Oh... Anyway, that's the story. At the beginning, the world was also under the Zhou Dynasty, but the emperor died, leaving only a young son. Zhao Kuangyin was a general who led troops and had imperial strategies, so he took advantage of the opportunity to lead troops to go on an expedition. Under the persuasion of his subordinates, he half-heartedly rebelled against Zhou Dynasty, but he did not fight and only made the youngest son king."
Xiao Chen had to explain, because there is no history of the Song Dynasty in this era, and it has gone astray since the Tang Dynasty...
"Isn't this a lesson?" Murong Heng said in astonishment, "First of all, Li Wanjiang was only in his fifties, how could he die without any illness or disaster? Secondly, his two sons are already so old..." Why didn't we just come together? Did you forget that you came here to drink and watch a movie?
"Two sons?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "That's not necessarily the case, right?"
"Huh?" Murong Heng's white eyebrows raised, "Master, what do you mean by that...could it be that the play "The Orphan of Zhao" you just ordered has a deeper meaning?"
"So far, it's all just speculation." Xiao Chen said, "But I think there will be a day when the truth comes out... Haha, Li Shi thought I supported him, Li Feng thought I was against him, but he didn't know that there was something else in my heart. There is someone else."
"I heard from Li Shi that you publicly expressed your support for him?" Murong Heng said, "Li Shi is much more insidious than Li Feng."
"Haha, that's what he thinks... The reason why I support him is because Li Feng and I can't deal with each other. I have always had a clear distinction between love and hate, and the emperor also knows my temper, so if I choose one of the two, I I will definitely choose him, but in fact I am still only loyal to the emperor." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Master, you are very thoughtful." Murong Heng understood a little bit, "Li Shi talked to me a lot today, and his meaning is self-evident. Li Feng also went to see me and said a lot of nonsense. I They were all just vague and dealt with it.”
"That's good. No matter what they say, you just ignore it. In fact, they don't dare to win over you. They just ask you not to openly oppose them. You know in your heart, they also understand, and the emperor knows better... But if Li Wanyun comes to find you, that will be troublesome." Xiao Chen said with a smile.
"Sir, why do you, a smart person like you, always do some stupid... things that are beyond our expectations?" Murong Heng felt that Xiao Chen knew everything, but sometimes he would still do it even though he knew it. Some unexplainable things.
"Haha, it's hard to be too smart to be confused. I just take it as a compliment from you, Mr. Marquis." Xiao Chen said with a smile, "Mr. Marquis, I have something to discuss with you. I want to take Danqiu out. , now there is no point for her to stay in the palace, and she has no time to call me... we are worried about her. "
"Uh..." Murong Heng frowned again. Of course he hoped that Danqiu would escape from the Dragon Pond and Tiger's Den, but she was a queen, inferior to Liu Ruyun and Duanmu Nanqiao. It would be very difficult to get her out. , and besides...where will she go after she comes out? This is also a problem.
"As long as you have no objection, Mr. Marquis, I will start to handle this matter. This matter is really difficult to handle. Everything must be considered in the long run and done in a thorough manner... But please don't worry, Mr. Marquis. I will either No, it will be done properly. If Danqiu can come out and it is inconvenient to go back to you, it would be best to go to Yanyun." Xiao Chen said.
"Well... Master, I have to ask you something clearly. You and Dan Qiu..." Murong Heng wanted Xiao Chen to have a clear attitude. What is the relationship between your boy and my daughter?
But before Xiao Chen could answer, someone from behind shouted for Mr. Xiao to stay!
Xiao Chen turned around and saw Zhao Yu coming on horseback.
When he arrived, he dismounted from his horse, adjusted the glasses on his nose, and knelt down to Murong Heng first, "I'm Zhao Yu from Fengyang Mansion, pay my respects to my husband!"
"Oh, Mr. Zhao, please get up quickly." Murong Heng got off his horse and helped him up with his own hands. He thought to himself that this man was shouting Xiao Chen, and he was so worried about what he was doing. Are you trying to capture the prince? Probably not. If the prince is captured, it won’t be his little Fengyang Mansion’s turn to take action...
"Master Zhao, what's going on?" Xiao Chen asked knowingly. Looking at his character, he found evidence of the emperor's murder!
"Uh..." Zhao Yu glanced at Murong Heng and hesitated.
"Mr. Xiao, we're just ahead. I'd like to thank you for your help. Let's say goodbye. We'll talk about it another day. Mr. Zhao, I'm taking my leave." Murong Heng had a look in his eyes. It seemed that the two of them had something private to say, and he was by his side. It didn't sound right either, so I said goodbye and left.
"What I know is that Mr. Zhao has something to do with me, but what I don't know is that you think you want to arrest me." Xiao Chen smiled, "Why are you looking for me in such a hurry?"
"It's not convenient to talk here." Zhao Yu pulled Xiao Chen and asked him to get on his horse, "Go and talk to Mr. Xiao at your house!"
When they arrived at Xiao Chen's house, Zhao Yu had just sat down when his stomach began to rumble.
"Why is it that the cool breeze hit the belly, causing Xu Gong to go down?" Xiao Chen said with a smile, "There are only two of us, so you don't have to be polite. Hold in the discomfort and let it go."
"What are you saying?" Zhao Yu said, "I just came back from the western suburbs and haven't eaten yet. Mr. Xiao, do you have anything ready-made here to give me a bite?"
It was so late and the kitchen had turned off the fire. Seeing how hungry Zhao Yu was, I was worried that he wouldn't be able to wait any longer, so I had some canned meat brought in.
"Oh, this can is really delicious!" Zhao Yu devoured it with great joy, "No wonder it's so expensive outside. It's really expensive, but it has its own advantages!"
"It's really a neglect, brother Ziyu, don't blame me." Xiao Chen said.
"Are you being lazy? It's too rich!" Zhao Yu said, "My family's New Year's Eve banquets are not that good. It's just this canned food. Last time, the children at home clamored for food. I went out of my way to buy a few cans and borrowed them from my doll. I am lucky enough to have a taste or two of the light."
"Isn't that true?" Xiao Chen was surprised, "Is your brother Ziyu so incorruptible?"
"Do you know how much a can of Yanyun's canned meat costs?" Zhao Yu's mouth was full of oil as he ate, "The beef one costs eight cents of silver! The pork and chicken one costs five cents of silver, and the fish one costs three cents. , who can afford this?”
In fact, although the cost of cans is not low, it is not that high either. This is just because the cans produced by several canneries in Yanyun County are in short supply, which makes things more expensive than they are scarce.
At present, canned goods are still considered military supplies, so they must be provided to the army first. Yanyun's army consumes a lot of canned goods, especially the troops with frequent activities, and the navy where it is inconvenient to cook on board.
There are also northern border guards and Gao Juli garrison. They have to be exported to Rus, Japan, Southern Xinjiang, Yunzhou, Lingzhou, and now Yizhou garrison...
Although the cannery has been expanded repeatedly, it is not a modern assembly line operation after all. In addition, the white iron used in can packaging is also a relatively scarce resource, which also indirectly affects the output of cans.
