The morning court session ended. The biggest winner today was undoubtedly Lin Fei. Not only did he successfully marry Princess Chang Le, but he also earned more than 20,000 taels of gold.
This was Lin Fei's consideration for Zhenguan. The Great Tang was indeed very poor and could not take out any more gold. Otherwise, he would have asked for more.
Although all of the 20,000 taels of gold were in arrears, Lin Fei was not worried that the officials would go back on their words.
If they dared to go back on their word, they would still have to suffer in the future. There was still a long way to go.
Lin Fei's only regret was that Zhangsun Wuji was not among the people who owed him money. Otherwise, today would have been perfect.
The second biggest winner was naturally Li Shiming. Not only did he find a son-in-law as awesome as Lin Fei, but he also solved the problem that had troubled him for a long time.
However, compared to Lin Fei, his gains today seemed to be a little worse.
As for the remaining officials, except for Wei Zheng who was smart and did not suffer any losses, the others were all tortured by Lin Fei.
When the court session ended, everyone looked at Lin Fei with some resentment, but they did not dare to say anything.
Only Cheng Yaojin had a thick family background and thick skin. After coming out of the throne room, he had been pestering Lin Fei, asking Lin Fei to tell him what he had promised him before.
Lin Fei also knew that the locust plague in the Great Tang was very fierce. If he had Cheng Yaojin take action earlier, fewer people in the Great Tang might have starved to death.
So he didn't shirk his responsibility and brought Cheng Yaojin back to the mansion. This was the princess mansion that Li Shimin had prepared for Princess Changle, but now it was going to be changed into the Fuma mansion.
After returning to the mansion, Lin Fei personally demonstrated to Cheng Yaojin how to turn locusts into locust powder.
Locusts themselves contained extremely high protein and had high nutritional value. After turning the locusts into locust powder, it was more suitable for children to eat, and it would not look so ugly.
Lin Fei's method was to let Cheng Yaojin buy a large number of locusts from the people, then process them into locust powder and sell them to the market.
As for whether he could sell it or not, Lin Fei was not worried at all. That was something Cheng Yaojin should consider. It had nothing to do with him.
However, with Cheng Yao's reputation as the Duke of Jin, it shouldn't be a difficult task.
Cheng Yaojin learned it, and Lin Fei drove him back.
Not long after Cheng Yaojin left, he sent someone to deliver 500 taels of gold.
Lin Fei looked at the pile of shiny gold on the table and wanted to touch it.
Just as Lin Fei's hand touched the gold, something unexpected happened.
All the gold on the table was gone, leaving only a pile of powder.
In the next moment, hundreds of pale yellow objects appeared on the table.
"Potato?"
After seeing the things that appeared on the table, Lin Fei was a little puzzled. He did not know why these potatoes suddenly appeared in his place.
Suddenly, he remembered that the page in the encyclopedia in his mind this morning was about potatoes.
At the time, he had thought that it would be great if he could have potatoes in the Great Tang, but he hadn't expected it to come true so quickly.
However, what made Lin Fei slightly unhappy was that his potatoes were made of golden yellow.
Gold for potatoes?
Then could gold be exchanged for other things?
Lin Fei's thoughts began to become active, but he did not have any gold on hand now, so he asked the servants to start collecting debts.
Not long after, a servant came back with gold. It wasn't much, only about two thousand taels.
This time, Lin Fei opened the page on chili peppers. As expected, as soon as Lin Fei touched the gold, the gold immediately turned into powder. Not long after, a pile of chili peppers appeared in his room.
Gold can be exchanged for chili?
Gold can be exchanged for potatoes?
In other words, gold could be exchanged for the physical form of everything in the Encyclopedia, not just information.
This made Lin Fei excited.
He wanted to enter the palace, but before he attacked, he had to wash up. This time, he was not going to fight with men, but to meet his father-in-law and mother-in-law. He might even see his wife. Of course, he had to pay attention to his image.
When Lin Fei returned to the palace, it was already noon. He happened to bump into Li Shiming and Empress Zhangsun having lunch.
In the Great Tang, commoners didn't eat lunch, but Li Shiming was different. He was the Emperor of the Great Tang, and he could eat ten meals a day as long as he liked, let alone one.
Lin Fei ran over and cupped his hands at the two of them." Son-in-law greets father-in-law and mother-in-law!”
Then, without waiting for the two of them to speak, he sat down and even asked the palace maid for an extra set of chopsticks.
The palace maid was in a difficult position. Not everyone could eat with the emperor. In the end, Li Shimin waved his hand and went down to prepare.
"What are you doing in the palace at this time?”Li Shiming was in a bad mood when he saw Lin Fei. No matter who it was, they would not be in a good mood when they met such a son-in-law.
Empress Zhangsun looked at Lin Fei strangely and nodded from time to time. It was obvious that she was quite satisfied with Lin Fei, unlike Li Shiming.
"I'm here too. You're here to give me merit." Lin Fei took the bowl and chopsticks handed over by the palace maid and started eating without hesitation.
