“Rituals cannot be abolished.”

Although Zhu Guichen spoke politely, when Wang Zheng still insisted on saluting, the smile on Zhu Guichen's face became even more intense.

"Why are you here, sir? You didn't even let anyone know. I'm really surprised that you suddenly appeared in front of me."

"You made the vermicelli, but you sold it so cheaply. The matter got out of hand and even reached the Saint. The Empress had to help you suppress the matter with great difficulty."

This was a compliment to Wu Zetian, but Wang Zheng had to appreciate it and bowed in the direction of Chang'an City.

"It is my fault. I am sorry to have caused you so much trouble."

Zhu Guichen nodded in satisfaction and continued, "But the queen didn't mean to blame you, and even praised you for doing a good job. No matter what, it's always good for the common people to have one more bite of cheap food.

With the vermicelli from you, Her Majesty won't have to suffer any more trouble. You can do whatever you want, even supporting the outer court is fine.

Zhu Guichen also kept silent, and after a long while he said, "You are just too careless. If it were our family, no matter whether he could take charge or not, we would go back to Chang'an first. It would be a pity to stay here.

I heard that many of the heads of the major families lost their temper and threw things, so this can be considered as a relief for the Empress.

Wang Zheng thought for a long time and said with a smile: "I plan to go home to visit my relatives on New Year's Day. If Your Majesty can reward my family and let me enjoy a glorious life in the village, I will be satisfied."

If you really live in the city, the cheapest price is one cent per pound. Once winter comes, the price of grain will gradually become more expensive. By the beginning of spring, three or four cents per pound is normal.

The Queen immediately sold the grain in her hands. Now, when she sold it back, it only took her the time to sign a document. The grain didn't even have time to be transported, but the Queen had already made a lot of money.

Wang Zheng was silent for a while, then smiled and said, "I haven't done enough credit yet, let's wait and see."

Wang Zheng first cut two pounds of lean meat, removed the fishy smell with onions, ginger and garlic, then coated half of it with dry and wet kudzu powder and fried it in a pan, making a large bowl of crispy meat.

Zhu Guichen felt sympathetic and sighed, "That's true. You are a truly filial son. In this case, we will report to the Queen as you wish."

Zhu Guichen thought for a moment and asked, "You mean someone will seize the territory of the Ba people?"

Wang Zheng was confused about what Wu Zetian meant, and after a long pause he said, "Once the kudzu powder and taro vermicelli come out, I'm afraid there will be a lot more disputes in Bashu.

This time Zhu Guichen spoke more bluntly, "You have helped the queen earn so much money before, but this time it is really amazing, so many vermicelli arrived in Chang'an City.

Don’t be fooled by the cheapness of grain in recent years. In fact, that is because the various wealthy families have joined forces to cause trouble. In other words, during the autumn harvest, the common people only had one cent for two kilograms of grain.

If you want to serve as an official in the court, the timing is definitely not right now. As for money and other things, without the corresponding strength, money is nothing but clouds in this era.

This time Wang Zheng really understood it. It was about winning people's hearts. But when he thought about it, he seemed to need nothing.

However, this is also a good opportunity for the expansion of the imperial farm. My Lord, can you tell the queen that I want some manpower or badges to spread the imperial farm all over Bashu."

"I'm afraid it won't be that easy. Will those Ba people definitely join you?"

So, this time, the queen sincerely wants to give you some benefits. This side will continue to be handed over to you to take care of. You don't have to be too polite. If you need anything, just ask. "

Wang Zheng shook his head and said, "Since Father has come out to run the store, let him continue to look after it. Your Excellency should know that the palace is dangerous, and I really don't want Father to stay there for long."

"Let's not talk about these polite words. On the way here, I heard that the food here is better than other places. If you really want to thank me, then treat me to a good meal. I've saved some space for you and want to give you a good meal."

Speaking of being oppressed, I'm so hot here that I've been busy talking to you. Ask someone to bring me a pair of clogs so I can change my shoes and cool down."

"Haha, it's my fault that I didn't serve you well and caused trouble for you, sir."

Wang Zheng bowed his hands and thanked him, "Thank you for your trouble, sir."

After Zhu Guichen changed his clogs, the two men dismissed their followers and went for a walk in the bamboo forest to talk in detail.

Wang Zheng was full of confidence. "I don't take any benefits from them. I am just a nominal supporter. My subordinates always focus on win-win situations. It is the long-term solution if everyone can benefit."

Zhu Guichen was stunned for a moment and asked, "Logically speaking, you have already been adopted by Wang Xian, so if you want to reward your family members, you should reward Wang Xian, right?"

Look, the queen wants to reward you something, so she sent me here to see what you think. I have been in the palace for many years, but I have never seen a noble ask a subordinate what he wants. You must remember the queen's kindness. "

Wang Zheng apologized first, then said to Li Si: "Why are you still standing there? Go get a pair of clogs for the master."

Zhu Guichen said with some emotion: "Win-win, this is really a word that is easy to say but difficult to do. Only a weirdo like you can say it so easily. I will tell the queen about this matter. Now I am asking you what you want?"

Although the Queen controls a large number of imperial farms, she also has a large business to take care of, and she is often unable to turn around everything. She has to find those aristocratic families. Although they may say nice things to you, they will not be polite when they take action.

Wang Zheng slaughters pigs every day, so it is very convenient to entertain Zhu Guichen.

Then I fried another pound of pork belly, thickened the sauce and fried some pork kidney.

"I?"

"why not?"

"Haha, that's easy to say. Even if you don't mention it, this is what I should do."

Zhu Guichen was watching from the side and drooling, "Oh, it's really different. It smells so good. Your method is also different from others. It's not roasted or boiled."

Wang Zheng put the water spinach into the pot, picked up a piece of crispy meat with chopsticks and handed it to Zhu Guichen, "Your Excellency can try it first to see if it suits your taste."

"Hey, isn't this a bit bad?"

Even though Zhu Guichen was almost drooling, he still remained a little reserved.

"It's okay. Most people here are casual."
