There are braised pork, stuffed meat, shrimps and crabs in the steamer, pork elbows, chicken and duck in the casserole, braised tongue and ears, and fried pork intestines and pork stomach, enough to fill a large table.

"Haha, it seems that I arrived at the right time. Such a large table full of dishes looks very appetizing."

Li Zhi was full of energy. Wang Zheng couldn't help but frowning when he saw his flushed face.

After everyone greeted each other, Wu Zetian raised her head and said with a smile, "Master, do you not welcome us?"

Wang Ping'an, who came back with Li Xian, looked at Wang Zheng in surprise, wondering why his father frowned.

"I dare not, and I will not."

Wang Zheng shook his head, frowned and said, "I am just surprised at your Majesty's situation?"

Wu Zetian went on to say: "Then plant some water spinach, and you can raise chickens, ducks, pigs and sheep. The wasteland will soon become fertile land, and a place will become prosperous in no time."

"Um."

Li Zhi nodded, agreeing with Wang Zheng's words. After thinking for a while, he asked, "Who is the chief steward going to send with them?"

Xiao Taiping nodded vigorously and stretched out his hands to Wang Yuehua.

Wang Yuehua took Xiao Taiping over and said to Wu Zetian with a smile, "Don't worry, madam. I will take good care of my sister."

Wang Zheng smiled and said, "Since they want to do something, let them try. Many things are not in books. Only in practice can we know the answers. As long as the general direction is right, there will always be a good result."

"Hey, you have to do everything yourself when studying."

Li Zhi's smile froze, and then he laughed loudly, "It's just some nourishing stuff, not even medicine. Why do I need the imperial physician's approval? Besides, I didn't take much, just a little in the soup. It's not a big deal. Don't spoil my fun, steward. Let's not talk about this. Today is Laba Festival, the dishes are on the table, and we should sit down and eat."

"That's good."

Li Zhi thought for a moment, then continued, "I find that many of your Yuzhou methods are really useful, such as the large reservoirs and steep gates, plus terraces, and using a two-tooth hoe to develop all the land."

Luo Xiaomei felt a little disappointed, after all, her son, who was only a little over ten years old, was about to leave her.

Wang Zheng saw that Li Zhi didn't want to talk about this now, so he didn't make himself look bad, but smiled and said, "Your Majesty, please take a seat."

Li Zhi was also looking at the small table. Li Xian, Li Xian and Wang Pingan were all very mature and steady. Xiao Yuehua had also behaved herself now. Li Dan and Taiping were still innocent and lively.

Seeing that the little ones were getting along happily, Wu Zetian felt relieved.

Wang Zheng looked at Li Zhi's flushed face and felt a little resentful.

Luo Xiaomei didn't want Wang Ping'an to leave her side, so she looked at Wang Zheng eagerly.

Li Zhi, Wu Zetian, Wang Zheng, Luo Xiaomei, Li Cheng, Liu Zheng and a few little ones sat at one table in the living room, while Zhang San, Li Si and others sat at one table in the kitchen, so that everyone could feel more comfortable.

Li Zhi went out for a run. While he was tired from the long journey, his physical condition was actually improved by the exercise. After he came back, he was indeed in much better shape. Taking Cistanche made Li Zhi discover that it had the effect of strengthening yang, and many people took it without any side effects, which made Li Zhi feel more at ease.

Wang Yuehua took Xiao Taiping to the small table and asked her what she wanted to eat. Xiao Taiping pointed at the crab and said, "I want to eat crab legs."

Li Zhi sighed.

"How about Zhang San and Li Si?"

Wu Zetian didn't care. Although the two kids were young, they were quite knowledgeable and well-educated. The key point was not just the two of them going there. There must be trustworthy people accompanying them.

Li Dan, who was standing beside him, quickly brought a crab leg over and said, "Brother will crack it for you."

However, all medicines are poisonous, so the imperial physician naturally did not recommend Li Zhi to take Cistanche for a long time.

Li Dan took a small golden hammer and smashed the crab legs in a few hits, then took out the crab meat and fed it to Xiao Taiping.

Xiao Taiping was obviously a little tempted, but he still looked at Wu Zetian first. Wu Zetian smiled and said, "If you like, follow your sister and sit at the same table with your brothers."

Wu Zetian asked: "Are you used to it?"

Wang Yuehua thought for a moment and said, "It's definitely not easy to get used to it alone, but when everyone does it together, it doesn't seem like it's something strange."

"Mrs. Wu has met the chief steward. I hope he is well."

Wang Yuehua reached out to the little girl Wu Zetian was holding and asked, "Taiping, do you want to come with me? I'll feed you something delicious."

Wu Zetian smiled and nodded, and said cheerfully: "Xiao Yuehua has been studying for half a month, and I feel that she has become much more sensible."

Wu Zetian looked at Wang Zheng, then at Li Zhi, her eyes flickered a few times, but she said nothing.

"One civil and one military, that's enough."

Wang Zheng explained: "They have been with me for almost ten years. They have been with me from scratch as Yuzhou was built step by step. They have always been able to deal with any situation."

"Xian'er told me that he wanted to go to Lingqu with Ping'an to open a newspaper branch, and try to develop Nanzhao. He said you have no objection, but are you willing to let Ping'an leave your side? After all, he is only a child in his teens."

Li Zhi was stunned for a moment, then smiled and said, "I am in good condition. I went out for a walk and I feel much better. I recently took some Cistanche deserticola and I feel even more energetic."

Li Zhi nodded and smiled, "Okay, Nanzhao should indeed be developed and governed. After all, it is such a vast territory, and it is connected to the Tang Dynasty. There is no reason to leave it alone."

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows and asked, "Your Majesty, have you obtained the consent of the imperial physician and the great witch doctor for taking Cistanche deserticola?"

Everyone chatted about the various technologies of the Yuzhou system, and then talked about the various benefits derived from these technologies, from the various changes in the Central Plains to the border areas, from various raw materials to the various objects of the Tang Dynasty. The meal was a very enjoyable one.

The next day, Wang Zheng asked someone to find the great witch.

"You don't need to be polite, Great Wizard. I haven't seen you for a year and you seem to be getting healthier. Well, I should say that you haven't changed much in the past ten years."

"Haha, the steward gave the old woman a place to live. Life is better now, and people naturally age slower. The steward has made everyone live a good life. It's not uncommon for us old guys to get younger and younger as we age.

Hey, that old Zhu Lao Er is shameless. He is over 50 years old, but he still has a wife and children. He wrote to me last month to tell me that his third child was one month old.

"It's good to have a good life."

Wang Zheng smiled and asked, "How long has your Majesty been taking Cistanche deserticola? What effect has it had on his health?"
