The Master of the Kingdom - Chapter 124

After Su Yi returned to the prefecture, he continued to improve the salt field. The craftsmen’s wisdom is very powerful. After a period of experimentation, they have been able to find the saturated water volume and ensure the maximum output. However, to get rid of the weather factor, further experiments are needed.

Su Yiyuan thinks that salt is in short supply now, and it can be sold no matter how it is produced. Later, I learned that the transportation of salt to the inland still has traffic problems.

But with the cement of Su Yi, this may change a lot in the future. It’s just that the means of transportation still need to be pondered.

Su Yi thought of the internal combustion engine again.

After discussing with Mu Yan, Su Yi let go of many worries in his heart and wanted to do whatever he wanted. It’s not easy to go through it once, worrying about these concerns, it’s too useless. On the premise of ensuring his own safety, he can take out as many things as he can. As for whether China’s development is good or bad afterwards, he has tried his best to evaluate the merits and demerits of future generations.

Su Yi’s mentality finally felt like a great man, although he didn’t realize it himself.

Su Yi still did not use the internal combustion engine, because the current Yu Dynasty still cannot support the development of too high speed. Yu Chao’s foundation has not yet been established.

When there is enough food, enough clothes to wear, the frontier is temporarily stable, and there are not too many people in the DPRK and China to engage in trouble, it is the time for large-scale infrastructure construction.

In ancient times, infrastructure construction required a lot of manpower. Now I have to recuperate, not suitable for too big movements.

Su Yi has been in contact with all kinds of bigwigs for so long, and finally has a little high-level thinking.

Leaving aside traffic matters, Su Yi is now too busy.

When all the luggage was in place, the home was finally arranged so as to be a bit decent according to Mu Yan’s words. Mu Yan asked Su Yi if he wanted to meet the local celebrities.

Although Su Yi did not appear publicly in front of everyone, his reputation in Qingzhou is already well-known, and his miraculous deeds have supported many local storytellers. Mu Yan felt that the time was right, and now Su Yi could meet with everyone.

On the premise that Su Yi has such a reputation, Su Yi’s initiative can be guaranteed to the greatest possible extent. Even if we meet, Su Yi will not be embarrassed.

And even though Mu Yan and Yi Ran still had a bad relationship, Mu Yan also had to admit that having the second prince put Su Yi in the battle would make the plan smoother.

As for letting Su Yi stay in the house forever, even if Su Yi was willing, Mu Yan would not agree. In the past, Su Yi also had three or two friends in Beijing. Even if he was busy, Su Yi had someone to accompany him. If you change a place, you won’t be as comfortable as the capital, and Mu Yan feels uncomfortable.

Regardless of recruiting talents or making Su Yi’s reputation more famous, Mu Yan’s main purpose is to allow Su Yi to contact the local social circle so that he can talk to more people besides himself.

As a house, Su Yi didn’t like to deal with strangers by nature. However, he understood Mu Yan’s intentions and knew that Mu Yan was doing him well. Su Yi stopped working and agreed.

But Su Tianshi didn’t want to be able to see it. The content of the activities arranged by Mu Yan, Su Yi felt that he was the final reward for the group of people after they passed the five stages and defeated the six generals.

In addition to the housewarming banquet, Mu Yan has now held several banquets. This time he invited people who performed prominently at the banquet, and he personally ended up chatting and discussing with these people.

Because Mu Yan was not the first time to invite literati and elegant guests to a gathering, this gathering did not cause any disturbances. After the banquet, Mu Yan sent an invitation to more than a dozen of them, and went to the mountains to admire peach blossoms and drink fine wine. After that, Mu Yan invited the patriarch of the Snake Hao clan in Qingzhou to enjoy the peach blossoms and drink wine together.

The local tycoons believed that after a period of dormancy, Mu Yan finally made a big move and was about to beat everyone. They thought of the hapless man whose leg was broken by the second prince again, and they were very worried, and they all expressed that they would go forward, and no matter what happened, they would temporarily push away.

They were thankful for the misunderstanding afterwards. No knocks, but a basket of surprises.

Mu Yan wanted to think of Li Ain’s fate with Su Yi, and he really loved his talents, so he asked people to send Li Ain’s post to Kong Yan’s stay. Li Ai was brought by Kong Yan, and the post was given to Kong Yan. He must have a way to contact Li Ai as soon as possible. If he missed this time, it was his fate.

The mountain village where Mu Yan hosted the banquet was full of peach trees, and the mountains were full of pink peach blossoms, like a fairyland.

The guests arrived one after another, and they were surprised to find that Mu Yan was actually the person who welcomed the guests. Later they learned that His Royal Highness the Second Prince was also there, and they knew in their hearts.

The local tycoons are also more worried. After the second prince arrived, he immediately promoted the new crops vigorously. It’s nothing more than promoting new crops. The second prince also supervised the reclamation, as well as responsible for the tyrants to occupy the fertile land, and illegally merge the fields of the small people.

As a wealthy family, there are few who do not occupy land. But where the country was founded, the emperor was very taboo against this. The second prince was also an unrelenting temper. He didn’t eat hard and soft, didn’t add oil and salt, and was full of iron face and ruthless. He cooperated with Mu Yan as a smiling tiger very tacitly. One white face and one black face made people feel miserable.

They hosted the second prince many times, and they were all invited out. Now they finally have a chance to have a meal with the second prince, but they are not at ease in their hearts.

Except for the rich family, the other invited celebrities are in a much lighter mood. Even though the position of the prince is now very stable, the second prince is also very popular. Being able to show his face in front of the second prince will also be helpful to the official career.

When they came to the table, they found that the second prince was not sitting in the first place. The first one was a young man wearing a Taoist robe who was talking to the second prince.

The guests immediately felt a sudden change in their hearts and began to organize their appearance involuntarily, even those celebrities with arrogant personalities and family chiefs who had a lot of power in their homes.

After seeing someone coming, the young Taoist priest did not stand up to greet the guests, just smiled and nodded to everyone, which was regarded as greeting.

After Yi Ran saw him, he nodded arrogantly to everyone.

A young man attending with his elders whispered to his father, “Who is that little Taoist priest? Why is he so arrogant? Even the governor will personally welcome guests at the door.”

His father widened his eyes and said, “Shut up!”

The people around who heard the man’s words all looked at him with a smile, and then bowed their hands twice.

Once for the second prince, once for the Taoist.

The speaking man was confused for a while, then looked at the Taoist man in surprise: “Difficult, could it be…”

His father smiled bitterly: “Shut up.”

The man dared not speak immediately. If he knew that the person was Master Su, how could he still talk like this? He just didn’t expect Master Su Tian to appear. So there was no reaction for a while.

Yes, the governor is outside to receive guests, sitting with His Royal Highness the second prince in the upper head, besides Su Tianshi, who else is there?

“They are acquainted.” Yi Ran whispered in Su Yi’s ear, “I thought there would be someone who would jump out to be disrespectful to you.”

Su Yi glanced at Yi Ran with a smile: “You are not a fool, you think too much.”

Yi Ran curled his lips. Didn’t he meet a fool when he came to Qingzhou?

After the guests were seated together, Mu Yan also returned to the table, sat on the other side of Su Yi, and announced the opening of the table.

The cold dishes, hot dishes and pastries are served in turns, all exquisite, both in appearance and portion.

The guests hesitated looking at the food that was very different from what they usually eat.

They scooped up the white paste with black sauce with a small spoon, and it was fresh and refreshing after the mouth. They stretched the small spoon to the other side of the plate and poured honey on the same dish, sweet and soft, more than any dessert they had ever eaten.

“This dish is called Two Flavors in the World.” The servant who served the dish introduced, “The ingredients are bean jade.”

“This is the bean jade that Master Su Tian used to treat guests?” The guest was surprised, “Is this really made of beans?”

Since Su Yi “invented” tofu, tofu has been popular in Beijing. However, although this trend has been spread, the method of making tofu has not been spread. They only know that beans can make very elegant food, like the best white jade, it can be cooked in any taste, it is as delicious and delicious, and has the effects of prolonging life, beauty and beauty, especially suitable for the elderly and weak people and women edible.

This amazing food is the thing in front of you?

It looks like a semi-solidified cheese; when you eat it, there is a light bean aroma, but there is no beany taste, and the tip of the tongue feels more delicate and extraordinary.

The guests immediately understood that this meal might not be Mu Yan’s host, but Su Tian’s host.

The mellow tea is called black tea as a drink. The cold food at the banquet is bean jade, braised flavor, chilled cucumber with chili oil, bamboo shoots in brine, etc. Hot dishes include boiled fish, steamed vermicelli scallops, roasted lamb leg with cumin, and stir-fried cabbage , Steamed cereals (sweet potatoes, potatoes, corn, pumpkin).

The guests came here with their stomachs at home, but this meal was full of appetites.

The cooking methods of most of these foods are unique to Suyi. Although some have been passed to the gentry in Beijing, the people of Qingzhou have never tasted them. This scent makes people want to chew with their tongues. On the table, there are strong and mild flavors, taking into account everyone’s tastes, and they also try to eat dishes that they are not good at. Although they may not like them in their hearts, they have to admit that they are delicious.

It’s just a small portion for everyone, and the taste is gone after a taste. It is really uncomfortable just to evoke the gluttons in the stomach.

After the dinner, there are various kinds of snacks. Small biscuits, all kinds of cakes and breads with jam, butter, dried fruits, preserved fruits, hot glutinous rice **** wrapped in various jams, and other traditional pastries are simply satisfying.

Sweets are a rare item at this time.

Su Yi originally wanted to get some ice cream or something, but considering that the weather is not too hot now, if the diarrhea would not be good after eating it, then forget it.

Let’s take out the ice cream after the summer.

But even so, it was shocking enough.

The taste of traditional pastries is good enough. Whether it is the cooks in Mu Yan’s mansion or the cooks brought by Yi Ran, they are all good at making pastries. But the novel pastries that the rest of the people have never tasted make people even more intoxicated.

The cuisine of China is extensive and profound, but the West does have its own uniqueness in desserts. Huaguo dim sum does have good taste, but in terms of style and taste, it is indeed inferior to the West. This has to be admitted humbly.

When guests take a bite of a cream cake, jam cake, nut cake, meat floss cake, the feeling of happiness is from the inside out, making people heartfelt satisfaction.

Of course, bread is the same.

After this meal, although the portion was small, but the style was sufficient, the guests who had come to the stomach already had a full meal. It’s just that my stomach is full, and my heart is still very greedy.

Every little bit is really frustrating.

After the meal, the servants removed all the dishes, served a small plate of fruit for one person, and a small glass of warm wine.

The wine has a bright yellow color, a mellow entrance, and a soft entrance. After being swallowed in the abdomen, it feels like a fire, which immediately makes people feel a little drunk. When everyone drank it, they understood that this was the wine that the celestial master had brought out. It’s just that there is only a small cup, which is really uncomfortable.

The fruit is red is watermelon, white is apple, and purple is grape. There are only three kinds of watermelon and apple, and only one grape. There are grapes at this time, but they shouldn’t be in this season, and the grapes are actually seedless. Neither watermelon nor apples have been introduced to China yet, so naturally everyone has never eaten them.

Seeing them, they were treated as fairy fruits.

Obviously already felt that the exchange points were not enough, Su Yi still took out these things. Since you want to pretend to be coercive, pretend to be enough. He still has this redemption point.

It’s just that Yi Ran and Mu Yan are obviously not very happy. No matter the fruit, Su Yi Dao will take it out for planting in the future. But drink less of that wine, even if everyone has a small glass together, there is still half a jar. There was half a jar of wine left, and Su Yi took out a jar and packed it in small jade bottles, ready to let everyone take it back as a gift with invitations as a unit.

The brewer’s Fangzi Suyi has been handed over, but it is still because Suyi uses systematically produced brewing materials and water, and Suyi’s own wine is still a fine product. And Su Yi no longer makes wine, and drinks a little less. Suddenly they came out with two jars, and Yi Ran and Mu Yan were naturally distressed. It seems that if these are not taken out, the two of them can share an extra jar.

Su Yi pretended not to see this.

He is too busy, and the exchange point is not as sufficient as before. Even if he wants to exchange things out to enjoy, he should be able to enjoy it. Su Yi doesn’t like to drink, so naturally there are points left in the raw materials for brewing.

Using other materials to make wine is no better than system production. It is better to let your own craftsman brew without him.

After a meal, the enthusiasm of the guests has been adjusted to the highest level. Even if Su Yi didn’t say a word during the entire banquet, it was so delicious that in the hearts of the guests, it was truly a fairy-like enjoyment.

From ancient times to the present, Chinese people have always valued appetite. Su Yi took out a special meal, in their opinion, it was higher than ordinary people, confirming his immortal family means.

After the meal, Mu Yan led everyone to enjoy the flowers. Yi Ran and Su Yi were still with them all the way, but they were like the people accompanying Mu Yan. They didn’t come out to say a few words, they just listened quietly to others to express their pneumothorax.

With the presence of the two princes, these people were already very excited, and now that it is difficult to see Master Su Tian in front of the current people, they are all like cockfighting, and they are full of energy.

While talking loudly, they glanced at Su Yi, only to find that Master Su had a faint smile from the beginning to the end. They seemed to have been listening carefully, and they seemed to hear nothing, which made people very frustrated.

But an expert like Master Su can be moved by one or two sentences? Everyone continued to cheer up their spirits, doing everything possible to express themselves.

In the end, someone couldn’t help but walked towards Su Yi and asked Su Yi for questions.

Because Su Yi was a Taoist priest, the question he asked for was very mysterious. He asked Su Yi what fate is, and fate may change.

Su Yi looked at the visitor and looked at it, feeling a little surprised. He thought that after having created such a long time, no one would dare to come up and ask him to bother him.

After all, he has a high status now. For people of high status, most people wait for questions, rather than come up directly to ask for advice. This is considered a rude.

Everyone saw the same in the eyes of the person asking for advice. Although they also wanted to talk to Master Su, they all waited for Master Su to take the initiative to inquire, instead of going up and talking to Master Su rashly.

The second prince who was also with Su Yi was talking to Mu Yan. There was only one servant left beside Su Yi, otherwise he would rush forward?

Su Yi asked: “The layman is not at a loss, but he is asking for others.”

Someone smiled bitterly.

He also knew that he shouldn’t step forward and ask questions rashly, just because he was troubled by friends some time ago, he couldn’t help but… This is probably a ghostly fascination.

He had the expectations of his family, and now he gave Su Tianshi, and even the Cishi and His Royal Highness the second prince, had a very bad impression.

But if there is anyone in the world who can answer this matter, there will be no one except the heavenly master.

Su Yi actually knew this person. Although he did not appear in front of the public, it was not that he hadn’t met those people, but he wasn’t as a celestial master, and others didn’t recognize him.

This person is considered to be his more caring person, because he comes from the Confucian family. The Confucian family is not in the world of Su Yi now. It has continued to this day in the feudal dynasty and possesses supreme glory. Even if Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty dominates Confucianism and raises the status of Confucianism, Confucianism is still not out-of-the-ordinary, and there is no saying that it is the head of civil servants.

In the Eastern Han Dynasty, Taoism gradually began to be popular. After the war, other theories also raised their heads. On the contrary, Confucianism was suppressed because it did not conform to the upper echelon’s attitude towards life.

Therefore, although the Kong family appeared, they did not arouse many people’s attention.

But Su Yi cares. In Su Yi’s mind, of course he was curious about the Kong family.

The Confucian family has been praised and degraded in history, and Su Yi was the first time he came into contact with the Confucian family in feudal society. Confucius himself was a very courageous changer, and his thinking was too advanced at the time. But after the Kong family are the defenders of tradition, they refuse to change.

I really don’t know how the Kong family is now.

Although I don’t have a deep understanding now, I am bold enough and heavy enough to be friends.

As soon as Su Yi looked at the person’s identity, he knew that this question must have been asked by his friend, Li Ai, who had gone home with his words.

It’s just fate and fate, it’s too pessimistic. I really don’t know what Li Ai said to him. If he were to shirk his fate and fate, it would have made him a little bit low on Li Ai.

By the way, although he posted a post to Li Ai this time, he did not come.

Su Yi looked at Kong Yan calmly for a long time, and saw that Kong Yan was sweating his head. When he couldn’t help but bend his spine, he withdrew his gaze.

“If your friend came to ask about this, it would have made the poor Dao Gao take a look. Now, it is really disappointing.” Su Yi sighed.

Kong Yan stammered: “Heaven, the heavenly master knows why I ask questions?”

“Pan Dao knows, but I don’t know it.” Su Yi said, “The invited guests, Pang Dao naturally knows, otherwise would it be very rude? But how can you know about the lay people yourself, Pang Dao is not a fairy.”

At first, everyone felt happy that Su Yi actually said that he knew all the guests present, but when Su Yi said that he was not a fairy, they did not believe it.

If it weren’t for a fairy, just a thoughtless question from that person would know what he wanted and thought in his heart?

Su Yi could only talk about his wishes, he just happened to pay attention to Li Ai and Kong Yan.

“But you have a sincere heart to your friends, it’s not bad.” Su Yi turned around and said, “Since Heqing invites guests and his Royal Highness is present, Pan Dao will show his ugliness and play a song of destiny.”

Master Su wants to play the piano? ? ? The legendary musical instrument in the sky? !

“It’s been a long time since I heard Dao Chang playing the piano.” Yi Ran said, “That song is called Destiny?”

Su Yi said: “Probably. The bomber has no heart, and the listener has the heart. After listening to the layman, his own feelings and how poorly said they are meaningless.”

“Since the Daoist commander is rarely willing to play a piece of music, I’m caught up with this little friend.” Mu Yan smiled, “Then let’s go directly to listen to the piano.”

Su Yi nodded and led everyone to the foot of the mountain. The piano was placed in a pavilion in the middle of the pool. Looking at the inscription on the pavilion, you know that this is where Su Yi usually practices the piano.

It’s strange, this is a temporary build, who would put the piano in such a humid place, but it’s just a temporary pretense.

Let other people look at it and think it’s a good thing to hit, rather than arrange it.

Kong Yan was very worried. He was pleased that Master Su seemed to have no bad impression of him, and he was sad that Master Su seemed to know about his friends and had a bad impression of his friends.

He is also very curious, can he really hear the sound of fate with a piano sound? Is it impermanence? Or is the cause and effect rewarded?

Su Yi slowly opened the curtain covering the piano and looked at the piano that was very spectacular compared to all the instruments now. Everyone took a breath of cold air.

Su Yi scanned the people who were sitting in a row on the opposite side of the pavilion to listen to the piano, looked at their surprised eyes, and thought that the piano music he prepared just met that person’s question. It was really lucky.
