The situation in the Chang'an area cannot represent the vast area of Datang, but it also shows one thing, that is, the overall situation of Datang is constantly getting better. You must know that before this year, these people near Chang'an were basically in the year-round period. Not enough to eat.
Now these common people can even listen to some dramas, stories told by storytellers, etc. in their spare time.
When the dumplings from Liu Laosan's house were served, Li Ke smiled and said to everyone: "I feel relieved to see that you are living well, but again, we can have such a good life today because of countless people in the Tang Dynasty." Developed by craftsmen, scholars, and scientists.”
"With better technology, we can live a better life. You all work in factories. You should all know how advanced factories are now, and these technologies will continue to improve in the future, so you must let Your children should go to school, and you have no shortage of labor now."
"Studying is an important way for us to change our lives! If nothing else, even if you cannot become an official or a scientist after studying, even if you work in a factory, the monthly salary of a scholar will be higher than that of an illiterate person. A lot comes out, right?”
"Yes, His Highness is absolutely right." The people around him nodded. They all worked in the factory. Of course they all knew that some important positions in the factory gave priority to those who could teach themselves how to read.
That monthly payment also increased faster.
"Your Highness, don't worry, there are no children in our village who don't allow children to study! All children must study according to your regulations, and we can afford them!" the village chief said seriously.
"That's good, that's good. I just checked to see if your dumplings are cooked. I'm telling you, don't be stingy. I have a big appetite." Li Ke said with a smile.
Li Ke's words made everyone burst into laughter. Of course they are not afraid that Li Ke can eat it, but they are afraid that His Highness cannot eat it.
"By the way, they also have to take care of the food. They all followed me out. We can't let them starve." Li Ke pointed to the dozen or so people around him with a smile.
"Don't worry, Your Highness, everyone is here. I'll send someone to greet the guards outside." The village chief said loudly.
"Village Chief Zhou, those guards are not needed. How about this? You also arrange for each household to make dumplings for them to eat, and then our county government will make up for whatever they eat. This is a rule, Your Highness and the others eat. Our county government will not provide food for these soldiers, but our county government has to make up for the food these soldiers eat. This is discipline and discipline cannot be violated." The Chang'an County Magistrate next to him immediately laughed.
"Also, I, the county magistrate, have to have a meal at your place today." After that, he added with a smile.
"That's no problem!" The village chief didn't object. The county magistrate said it was a discipline, and these soldiers would definitely not violate it, so he no longer gave in, but simply called out the onlookers. Dozens of families came out and asked them to go home and do it.
Although these people still wanted to see Li Ke, they did not object in the end and simply went home to cook.
"Bao Xing, go arrange for them to take turns eating at people's homes." Li Ke smiled and did not object. The Chang'an County Magistrate was here to relieve him.
After all, it was easy for him to refuse, and the Chang'an County Magistrate knew that it was no problem for His Highness to bring the people around him to eat. However, although the number of guards brought out by His Highness today was not large, there were still 200 people.
It is impossible for His Highness these two hundred people to ask a village to provide food for themselves, so he took the initiative to say this.
Those who will solve problems for their leaders and take the initiative to resolve troubles are good subordinates.
So this is why Li Ke brought the other party with him when he came out.
Sometimes he comes over by himself and some things are really hard to deal with.
The dumplings are stuffed with pork, cabbage and green onions, and the taste is basically the same as that of later generations. These pigs have been castrated, so they naturally taste good.
The taste of traditional Chinese pigs in the Tang Dynasty is still very good. Most of the pigs in later generations are faster to gain weight, reminding you that they are crossbred with larger Dutch white pigs. There are not many Chinese native pigs left in later generations. That is to say, Yunnan still retains some of them.
Li Ke didn't lie. They were just the same dumplings as later generations. Li Ke ate forty dumplings in this meal.
His appetite has always been adequate, and he has not fallen behind in his martial arts practice, so his appetite is naturally good.
Being able to eat forty is naturally because he has basically left the palace banquet today, and the common people are used to having two meals a day around three or four in the afternoon in winter.
Normally there is no dinner, but this year is Chinese New Year, so there is probably a New Year’s Eve dinner.
Li Ke's appetite has received applause from many people. In the eyes of ordinary people, being able to eat is a blessing. His Highness can eat and likes to eat. This is of course a good thing for them!
This will give His Highness few chances to eat their dumplings.
Liu Laosan never closed his mouth when he smiled. He watched here every New Year for three years, wasn't it just for this day? His Highness finally ate their dumplings! This is glory.
And Liu Laosan also knew very well that he was afraid that His Highness would never come again in the future. After all, the Tang Dynasty is so big, His Highness cannot come to them all the time.
Although they are not far from Qin Wangzhuang.
After eating, he chatted with the people again, and then Li Ke left here.
When Li Ke left, the whole village came out to see him off, and there were even many people from neighboring villages who came running over after hearing the news.
Li Kedu waved goodbye to them one by one.
I would like to say one more thing, the bowl Li Ke ate today was actually a ceramic bowl, which Liu Laosan took out from the cabinet. Although it is not a precious brand, the current price of this kind of porcelain bowl in Datang is also Not low.
But I don’t know when Liu Laosan bought it. Obviously he bought it just for Li Ke to use.
Li Ke did not refuse in the end.
He knew that this was the greatest sincerity they could show, and sometimes rejection would be even more hurtful.
After leaving here, Li Ke did not return to the palace, but returned directly to Qin Wangzhuang. There is another special thing today, and Li Ke has already asked someone to prepare it.
When he returned to Qinwangzhuang, Shi Yu immediately greeted him, "Your Highness, everything has been arranged. I have sent someone to invite Zhenren Sun to come over."
"Well, as long as the arrangements are made, I will return to the palace after dinner. I will leave this place to you for the time being. You can take care of everything that needs to be cleaned up. Don't be stingy. Everyone will give a red envelope, double the amount last year." Li Ke nodded.
"Yes, Your Highness." Shi Yu saluted.
"Go." Li Ke waved his hand, and then waited with peace of mind. Sun Simiao lived in the medical school. He had a yard in the school, and several acres of land were left for him in front of and behind the house. No matter whether the old man liked farming, You can grow vegetables or medicinal herbs. Anyway, this old man has grown them all.
