"I say, is this really the best inn in Mingzhou?？”
As he ate the tasteless food, the corners of Li Chengdao's mouth couldn't help but become hesitant. He looked at Feng Li in front of him and spoke with a speechless tone.
As they searched, they soon arrived at the inn that was said to be the best in the entire Mingzhou City. However, when the food was served, Li Chengdao was dumbfounded.
It wasn't that these things tasted worse than those on the ship, but that they were different from what he had imagined.
He had thought that he would naturally come here for all the delicacies after arriving at the foodie empire. However, the result was extremely dull. He didn't even feel any deliciousness. It was not much different from what he had eaten in America.
This was a little disappointing. They had agreed on eight cuisines: Shandong, Sichuan, Cantonese, Jiangsu, Fujian, Zhejiang, Hunan, and Huizhou. Why did they only eat this?
Of course, Li Chengdao had obviously forgotten that it was the Tang Dynasty now. What the hell were the eight major cuisines? There were no four major cuisines. The first time they were formed was during the Song Dynasty. In this era, not to mention Mingzhou, even the imperial palace might not have many delicious dishes in the true sense.
"Dalang, this is not bad. Although it can't compare to the imperial palace, it's definitely the top in Mingzhou City!”
Feng Li said with some puzzlement. In his opinion, the food was indeed not bad. It was much better than the food on the ship.
Li Chengdao didn't refute Feng Li's words. After all, he wasn't being picky. He was just a little disappointed. Of course, that wasn't the important thing. He wasn't here to eat. He was almost done.
"Have you heard? The flood has already spread to our Mingzhou!”
"Yes, but I heard that the imperial court is distributing relief rations. There shouldn't be any problem!”
"Idiot, no problem, no problem. Why are there so many disaster victims outside the city?”
.....
In the inn, Li Chengdao and the others did not choose a separate room. Instead, they sat in the lobby. Soon, there were sounds of conversation around them, most of which were about the flood.
This was also normal. In today's world without the Prison of Words, even if the commoners scolded the Emperor, no one would care. As long as you didn't become an official and scold him, it would be fine, let alone this kind of discussion. This was basically a common occurrence.
After all, it was better to defend the mouth of the people than to defend the river. This warning had been around for almost a thousand years, and no one had gone against it.
However, there were advantages and disadvantages to such an action. The disadvantage was that the fishing vessel could be easily manipulated. It should be known that in the era of the powerful families, it was not easy for some people to control the fishing vessel.
This was also the reason why Li Er's reputation among the people was only slightly better after he had been in power for almost two years and had even implemented benevolent policies for nearly three years. If it was any other time, he would have long been the Son of Heaven and would not be in such an awkward situation as he was now.
"Sigh, in the past two years, for some reason, natural disasters have occurred. First, Hebei suffered a drought. In the spring and summer of the second year, there was a great drought in the states inside the pass. In 1949, there was a drought in the states inside the pass. In March, locusts appeared inside the pass. In June, the capital area was ravaged by the locusts, and now there was a flood!”
"What's wrong? What else can happen?”
Although the voice was a little low, it was clear that there was not much obstruction. Hearing the words of these people, the eyes of the guards beside Li Chengdao did not light up.
After all, to them, these discussions were undoubtedly more exciting than any drought or flood.
This meant that Li Er had not won the hearts of the people. Perhaps when the time came, they could raise their arms and shout for Li Chengdao to ascend the throne, or even set foot in the Imperial Palace again.
"Your Highness!"
Feng Li said in a low voice. His entire body could not help but tremble.
Looking at their expressions, Li Chengdao didn't even need to think to know what they were thinking. Not to mention Feng Li's expression, he was 100% sure.
However, as a transmigrator, Li Chengdao understood that these people were just talking. Even the aristocratic families who provoked the fishing boats were unlikely to help him. This was the reality.
As for the Second Emperor Li, he wasn't just for show.
During the 20 years of Zhenguan, natural disasters continued to occur. In addition, there were wars against the outside world, but the entire country had not collapsed. One had to know that the people of China were not the ones who had been tortured by the Manchu Dynasty. They believed that kings and generals would rather have guts. If you make me unable to live, then you will not have it easy either.
The only reason why it didn't collapse was that Li Er's methods were superb and he was terrifying in governing the country. If he went up against it with his small arms and legs, he would basically be courting death. Especially now, it was even more so.
Although he had opened an American base, if his second uncle noticed him, he would not have to worry about the other party crossing the sea to attack him. Without enough accumulation, even if he could cross the sea, it would be like Meng Yuan attacking Japan. He would be killed. However, this would inadvertently disrupt his plan.
After all, he had to rely in China for most of his development, at least for the time being. If he attracted attention, the situation would not be so easy to develop.
Of course, the most important thing was that Li Chengdao was not in the mood to rebel against Li Er. For him, it was better to build the base in America first before considering anything else.
The discussion continued. Li Er's matter did not last long. Soon, it returned to the flood. After all, what the emperor did and what the emperor did had nothing to do with them. Instead, the flood was what really affected them and even threatened them.
Li Chengdao listened carefully. To him, the appearance of the flood seemed to have made him feel something. He even had a fluctuation in his mood, but he was not sure yet.
As for the surrounding guards and General Feng Li's excitement, Li Chengdao shook his head and did not dampen his spirits. Although he had a mental network, there were some things that gave people hope and imagination.
"Let's go, let's take a look!”
......
(Li Shiming's ability is unquestionable. It's as if the heavens are angry and the people are resentful. During his 20 years of rule, natural disasters have never stopped. Besides, it's fine for the people to scold the emperor as long as you don't become an official. Anyway, no one cares about you!)!!!） "I say, is this really the best inn in Mingzhou?？”
