Chapter 406 Food Enters Jinling City

When night came, tallow candles were lit in the lobby, illuminating the surroundings brightly.

Fang Xing got up, holding a teacup and said: "The meaning of Daming Forbidden Sea is mainly to guard against Japanese pirates, but what if there are no Japanese pirates?"

"Wouldn't it be possible to open the sea?"

Xu Qing said excitedly, as a businessman in the seaside area, he couldn't understand the benefits of opening the sea.

Fang Xing shook his head, making Xu Qing's excitement go to waste.

"In my judgment, it is impossible to open the sea within seven or eight years!"

Xu Qing wondered, then aren't you looking for plum blossoms to quench your thirst?

"But hope is always there."

Fang Xing said with piercing eyes: "What we need to do now is to accumulate strength, further improve the quality of our products, and reduce the cost of our products. When that time comes, our merchant ships will follow Daming's warships and go wherever we can. Go anywhere, to make their money, to beat their business..."

Fang Xing paused for a moment, seeing Xu Qing's dull look. Looking up, Wang Liang was by the door, listening with a tangled expression.

"Go ahead and tell them it's all right now."

There is nothing wrong now, but it doesn't mean nothing will happen in the future, Xu Qing comprehended to reply to those restless merchants.

"Didn't you eat?"

Fang Xing called Wang Liang to come in and handed him the confession.

But in this transcribed confession, there are no names of those big merchants at all!

Wang Liang shook his head and said, "I didn't eat, I was thinking of going to Uncle's place to see what there is to eat."

Fang Xing smiled, called for Xiao Dao, and asked him to find a kitchen to make a hot pot.

"It's cold here in the morning and evening, eat a hot pot to get rid of the cold."

Most of the hot pot ingredients are seafood, which tastes good.

After taking a sip of wine, Fang Xing said calmly, "But you think Daming's warships are not for merchants?"

Xu Qing was tearing at a crab, nodded and said, "Exactly, Uncle, businessmen value profits over righteousness!"

Fang Xing said with a smile: "That's because the deterrence is not enough. I have two things. One is the law, and the law must be strictly enforced! The other is the administration of officials. As for how to study it carefully, it's empty talk right now, let's wait until later."

Seeing Wang Liang contemplating, Fang Xing said: "You have read history books, then you should know the harm of land annexation in the past dynasties. If you don't channel this force outward, how can Daming avoid it..."

What can be avoided? Rise and fall reincarnation!

There was nothing to say all night, and the next morning, Fang Xing, Wang He, and Wang Liang's memorial was on their way.

...

Zhu Zhanji was staring at the small jars in front of him in a daze, while Wanwan blinked her big eyes and urged him to open them quickly.

Open the seal, and a strong smell comes out.

"It's fish!"

Wan Wan cheered, "I want to eat, I want to eat!"

Liang Zhong said with a sad face on the side: "Master, let the old slave try first."

Although it was delivered by Fang Xing's people, looking at the soy fish that was said to have been placed for more than half a month, Liang Zhong felt that he had to try it, otherwise he would suffer from diarrhea.

Wanwan stared wide-eyed, seeing Liang Zhong took a mouthful with a tragic expression, she couldn't wait to ask, "Is it delicious?"

Liang Zhong ate another piece cautiously, and the brows gradually relaxed: "It's delicious! But the old slave thinks it's better to wait for half an hour."

Zhu Zhanji unceremoniously brought over the jar, and then took out a few large pieces of fish, and ordered: "Send those soy fish to Grandpa Huang, and say it was brought by Xing Hebo."

After finishing speaking, the two brothers and sisters asked someone to bring rice, and the fried fish was delicious.

When the soy fish was delivered to Zhu Di, he happened to be still reading the memorial.

The chief eunuch asked with a low eyebrow, "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch, and His Highness Grandson has brought new food, look..."

Zhu Di put down the memorial and asked, "What new food?"

The eunuch quickly replied: "It is said to be the soy fish sent by Xing Hebo."

Zhu Di glanced at the few memorials he had just read, nodded and said, "Then let's set the meal."

The steamed soy fish made Zhu Di's brows loosen, and with this dish, a few flatbreads were eaten in a short while.

Seeing Zhu Di's delicious food, the eunuch murmured in his heart, and was going to ask someone to tell Zhu Zhanji that this soy fish could be sent more often in the future.

Zhu Di put down his chopsticks, stood up and said, "Next time, you don't need to steam it. This soy fish must be eaten cold to taste."

The eunuch didn't believe it, so after Zhu Di left, he picked up a chopstick and tasted the cold soy fish.

"Tsk! It really tastes good when eaten cold!"

Back at Qianqing Palace, Zhu Di called Hu Guang who had just finished eating, and ordered, "Draft the decree."

Hu Guang hurriedly prepared to stop, and then listened.

Zhu Di walked around in the hall, and said slowly: "The Japanese pirates are harming one side. Although I think that God has the virtue of good life, I will eventually need to use thunderbolt methods to show my wrath!"

Reminiscing about the taste of soy fish just now, Zhu Di continued: "Except for the leader, Ling Xing and Bo killed all of them... Cast the capital in the Taizhou government! To deter foreign ministers!"

While moving his pen like flying, Hu Guang secretly thought about the good news that just arrived today, and his heart was hard to understand.

"Let Fang Xing come back..." Zhu Di looked at the sunlight outside and said quietly.

...

In the first delicacy, Fang Shiyi asked the staff to bring in those small jars, but was seen by a familiar old customer and wanted to eat them immediately.

Fang Shiyi had no choice but to open a few jars according to the delivery man's instructions, steam some, and send some as cold dishes.

"It's delicious! It's delicious and delicious, and it's perfect for dinner!"

"Here's a jug of wine."

"This fish is served with hot wine, it must taste good."

"Is there any more? Sell me a few pots and take them home!"

Fang Shiyi said with a smile: "I'm really sorry, this fish was sent from Zhejiang, and the quantity is not much."

It's not that Jinling can't eat seafood, but it's just that there are few varieties, and it's too difficult to taste the taste you like.

Moreover, the seafood must be guaranteed to be delivered to Jinling City alive, so the price is naturally high.

Back downstairs, Fang Shiyi heard the news.

"Na Xing and Bo are said to have killed the heads of the Japanese pirates in Taizhou Prefecture, and they also cast a Jingguan by the sea, so scared that the Japanese pirates never dared to go ashore..."

"Tsk tsk! This Xing Hebo is the reincarnation of the Killing God!"

"Bullshit! Don't forget, Xinghe Bo is a candidate. If it weren't for...they might have won the number one prize a long time ago!"

"..."

In Fangjiazhuang, Zhang Shuhui, who received the letter from Fang Xing's family, blushed, and immediately asked everyone to tell it, and distributed rice to celebrate.

Xiao Bai hugged the grown rhubarb, with a bell at his feet, and asked eagerly: "Ma'am, when did the young master say he will come back?"

Zhang Shuhui said happily: "My husband said, after all, he won't be able to stay away for too long. I guess he can come back before the end of the year."

At this time, a maid came outside and delivered Zhu Zhanji's message.

"His Highness said that the imperial decree to recall the master has been dispatched, and he will definitely come back a year ago."

Zhang Shuhui waved her hand, and after the servant girl went down, she said in a low voice: "This credit can't be too much. When my husband comes back this time, let him rest more."

Even though she said that, Zhang Shuhui remembered Zhang Fu's words.

——Dehua did not control the army, so there is not a big taboo in terms of military exploits!

As a comparison, Zhang Fu's several southern expeditions were all in charge of the army alone, so of course he had to hide his strength and bide his time!
