After figuring all this out, Zhao Xin felt much more relaxed.
When he opened his eyes, he saw that everyone was following his example, picking up the dough and dipping it in the sauce. However, everyone was much more polite than him, and they all took small bites and savored it carefully.
Then they all showed surprise for a moment, but remained very reserved.
Zhao Xin couldn't help but laugh when he saw that everyone seemed to want to eat voraciously but were trying hard to endure.
But I don't care about them.
He simply finished his own bowl, then knocked on the table unscrupulously and said, "Give me another bowl."
Everyone looked up at him quietly, then continued to focus on the food in front of them.
Only Su Qingyu looked at him with a hint of resentment, as if she was worried that he would snatch them all away.
Zhao Xin saw that she was acting like a little girl, a rare sight for her. He couldn't help but laugh and said, "Don't worry, Queen. If we don't have enough after we finish eating, we can make more. We still have the sweet potatoes that Li Qing sent us."
Su Qingyu shook her head and said, "That won't do. It's already a luxury to be able to taste even a little of such delicious food. We should cherish our blessings!"
Hearing her words, Liu Muzhi and others actually nodded together.
"Your Highness is virtuous, these are words of gold and jade!"
Zhao Xin was speechless upon hearing this. If the people of later generations knew that a queen and a group of ministers would consider a bowl of sweet potato vermicelli as a luxury and even dare not eat more for fear of losing their blessings, this...
Forget it...whatever happens with love?
Anyway, when the production of this kind of thing increases in the future, people will naturally not care about it anymore.
He immediately ordered that a bowl be prepared and sent to Yu Huatian, Li Cunxiao and Liang Xiping respectively.
Then he asked someone to send a few copies to the Nan family for Nan Luoying and the old lady of the Nan family.
I was just thinking about whether I should send some to Lin Yuyan as well.
However, a eunuch came hurriedly to report that the famous figures in the capital whom Cao Xiong and others had invited had arrived one after another.
Zhao Xin raised his eyelids and asked, "How many people are here?"
The eunuch quickly called out a string of names, and Zhao Xin was surprised to find that there were already more than ten or twenty people at the Zichen Palace.
Others continued to arrive.
Zhao Xin was certain.
Liu Muzhi and others also breathed a sigh of relief and smiled.
Although the plan was good, and they all believed that as long as the sweet potatoes with the problems of eating and storage were released, they would definitely have a fatal attraction to these famous figures and the families behind them.
But if they don't come at all, then no matter how good their plans are, it will be in vain.
As long as you come, there is no need to worry about the fish not biting the hook.
Before Zhao Xin traveled through time, he worked for capital, so he had some experience in capital operations.
Combined with his learning from Liu Muzhi and others during this period, he gradually felt that in fact, governing a country, political struggle, and capital operation still have similarities.
In other words, it is essentially capital operation.
And what is capital operation.
A boss once told him this.
The best textbook on capital operation is Zhuangzi's story of butchering an ox.
First of all, you have to have a big picture view and be able to see the entire market as a whole, which is a bull.
When you see this, you can look at any problem holistically.
Then you have to be able to see the context of things, that is, the texture of the cow, and then see the differences and barriers between the whole.
In this way, you can see the gaps between the beef bones like the butcher Ding.
At this time, if you have an interest that can tempt the other party, it is equivalent to having a knife to understand the cow.
Then cut along the texture and gaps, and the cow will be your meal.
In a sense, the world is also a cow.
A noble family is also a cow.
The aristocratic families in the world are so intertwined and complex that all the aristocratic families in the entire Qin Dynasty can be found to be related to each other.
Then they have similar values, similar interests.
But the aristocratic families are not one family after all. They also have conflicts and their own interests.
These are the textures of the cow from the aristocratic family.
Now Zhao Xin has to make a knife for himself, then find the texture and bone joints of the cow and start butchering it.
Thinking of this, Zhao Xin couldn't help but raise his lips slightly, and then said lightly: "Please ask them to wait in the Purple Palace for a while."
“Here~!”
The eunuch agreed but didn't leave immediately. He then continued, "Your Majesty, there's one more thing. Cui Wenhao, the eldest son of the Imperial Censor, has requested an audience outside the palace. He said that the person Your Majesty had the Rain Supervisor look for has been found."
"oh."
Zhao Xin suddenly raised his head when he heard this, with a little surprise.
He had previously asked Yu Huatian to pass a message to Cui Wenhao, ordering him to find someone, and originally thought there was little hope.
But unexpectedly, Cui Wenhao found the person at this critical moment.
In this way, the last card against the Cui family is in place.
"Yes, Cui Wenhao did a good job."
Zhao Xin tapped the table in front of him in appreciation, then pondered for a moment and said, "Go tell him that he doesn't need to come to see me. Tell him to bring people directly to see... to see the Queen Mother..."
Zhao Xin originally planned to take the person to see Lin Yuyan directly, but suddenly an idea occurred to him and he changed his mind: "Let him take the person to see the Queen Mother. He is also a member of the Cui family. He should be able to let the Queen Mother know what to do."
"Yes."
The eunuch agreed and was about to step back when Wang Xuance suddenly said, "Your Majesty, please let me go over and take a look. I may not be able to explain it clearly."
Zhao Xin's expression shifted slightly, then he nodded. "Alright, if you go, Xuan Ce, it should help Cui Wenhao understand what to do."
Wang Xuance stood up and saluted, then walked out of the back garden with the eunuch and went straight to the palace gate.
…
At the same time, many famous people in the capital had already arrived in front of the Zichen Palace.
All of them were famous officials in the capital, or famous Confucian scholars.
Naturally, they all know each other.
Seeing that the emperor had invited so many people, he couldn't help but be slightly surprised.
"Xuan Gong, why are you here in response to the imperial edict?"
"That's right. Your Majesty has summoned us, how dare we, your subjects, refuse? Isn't that what Shan Weng did?"
"Haha, that's right."
"Everyone, the messenger who summoned us said that the emperor summoned us because he had found a piece of good grain that could yield ten dan per mu. Is this true?"
"This... Haha, we have heard about it, but is it true..."
"Does Mr. Taian think this is false?"
"Well, haha, it's hard to say... I've never seen anything that can produce ten dan per mu, regardless of how you guys think."
"Well, this... the emperor speaks the law, so he wouldn't say anything without a purpose, right?"
"Of course. The emperor holds the power of heaven, so how can he speak without thinking? However, although the current emperor has the potential to be a sage, he is still young after all. I'm afraid he will inevitably be misled by villains from time to time."
Mr. Taian sighed earnestly.
Everyone nodded and thought it made sense.
