Just as Zhang Feng was carefully imparting the paper-making technique …
Li Shimin's carriage swayed out of the Vermilion Bird Gate. He casually looked at the panicked people in Chang 'an City and the faint smell of meat coming from the things they tightly held in their arms. Li Shimin was stunned.
If it was only one or two people, it would make sense. However, as he looked, there were more and more people, and they were all poor people. They were like thieves, holding their bowls and hurrying away.
On the contrary, the closer they got to the city gate, the more people there were. Li Shimin could even faintly see that those were actually meat from the places where they were tightly holding their bowls!
Good heavens, where did this meat come from?
Li Shimin ordered the Jinwu Guards to stop a commoner. He wanted to buy the meat, but that person insisted on not exchanging it. With no other choice, Li Shimin got off the carriage and asked, "Where did you get the meat in your hands? Could it be that he stole it? "
When the person saw that he couldn't get the meat, and Li Shimin said that he robbed it, he was instantly shocked.
Looking at Li Shimin's expensive clothes, he was frightened and hurriedly said, "There is a lot of meat outside the city. The people in Tonghui Fang are distributing meat there …"
Tonghui Fang?
Distributing meat?
There was such a good thing?
Wait! Tonghui Fang?
Li Shimin's eyes could not help but flash a touch of horror.
Wasn't that where that brat Zhang Feng was?
Didn't they all go up Mount Yi?
In addition, there were three hundred thousand pigs going up Mount Yi yesterday. Could it be …
"Let's go, quickly go out of the city!"
Li Shimin was even more curious. As soon as he got on the carriage, he hurriedly ordered.
How could the Jinwu Guards dare to delay?
The whip cracked in the air, and the horse also shook its hooves and ran wildly in Chang 'an City.
As the horses galloped, the aroma of meat in the air became stronger and stronger. In the beginning, the commoners were still a little secretive. However, once they left the Eastern Market, there were groups of two or three squatting on the roadside and gnawing on their dirty hands.
The closer they got to the city gate, the more things like this happened, and the more people there were. Even the garrison of Chang 'an City, the patrolling soldiers, and the officers of the Chang' an Local Government also joined in.
Li Shimin's carriage eventually squeezed out of Chang 'an City.
As soon as he stepped out of the door, Li Shimin was dumbfounded and a little annoyed.
The guards stationed at the city gate didn't even care about the gate anymore. They were all lining up and smelling the aroma of the meat in the air. They were drooling as they looked at the dozen or so pots of meat that were burying on the other side of the moat outside the city.
Seeing this, Li Shimin felt helpless.
What was that brat Zhang Feng up to this time?
This was too …
However, Li Shimin just sighed and didn't really blame him. After all, when Li Chengqian did this, Li Shimin knew about it. If Li Shimin didn't step in, would Li Chengqian dare to do such a thing that humiliated the dignity of the royal family?
Moreover, this was caused in Chang 'an City. Li Shimin also felt a little guilty. He didn't know how it felt to not eat meat for three months, but among these people, eating meat once a year was already a luxury.
Following the crowd, Li Shimin slowly walked out of the suspension bridge and came to Lao He's side. Only then did Li Shimin slowly get out of the carriage.
Lao He and the others, who were distributing meat, also greeted Li Shimin warmly when they saw him.
"Yo! Isn't this Lao Li? Have you eaten? It just so happens that the miracle doctor and the others are fighting to eat pork trotters. If you want, I'll pick a fat and tender one for you. "
"…"
Li Shimin was a little speechless.
However, looking at Lao He, he couldn't say anything. He asked, "Did Feng do all this?"
While speaking, Lao He had already washed a lotus leaf with water like a thief. Then, he handed the pork trotters and a pig's tail to Li Shimin while swallowing his saliva. He sniffed the tempting smell and said, "Actually, I shouldn't say anything, but this matter almost caused Feng to be in trouble! I'm not trying to sow discord between your young master and me, but you should do something about it. If Feng didn't meditate for the whole night, you might not be able to see Feng now! "
Li Shimin was shocked.
He quickly asked, "What do you mean?"
What could Lao He say?
He pointed at these people and the pork trotters and said, "Do you know how many nights Feng stayed up for this? You don't know, right? Every night, I would get up to change the water for these pork trotters. Every night, I saw that the lights in Feng's room were never turned off. He spent the whole night researching this method to get rid of the smell of pork. Just take last night as an example. If it wasn't for the celestial phenomenon, perhaps … "
"Sigh! Let's not talk about it anymore. Go up the mountain and ask Feng yourself! "
As Lao He spoke, he gave each of Li Shimin's entourage a piece of pork trotters. Then, he went back to work.
On the other hand, Li Shimin looked back and saw that there were more people coming out of the city gate. There were also more people coming from outside the city after hearing the news. They held a stick and a big basin. They didn't even intend to let go of the soup in the pot. When they got it, they gratefully grabbed a bunch of wild grass by the river and jumped into the moat. They put some loaches, fish, and prawns on the river. Just like that, they squatted by the river and ate their family's food for the day …
Li Shimin looked at the pork trotters in his hand and choked.
He took a small bite.
It was soft and fragrant.
As soon as he got on the carriage, Li Shimin said coldly to Xiao Guizi beside him, "Tell the people in Jiangnan to speed up the transportation of grain!"
"Yes."
