Liu Che was silent.
He understood these principles.
The key was how to do it!
"If we want to increase the trust of the people and soldiers in the emperor, we can strengthen the propaganda and education work for the people at the bottom, and improve the treatment and sense of honor of the soldiers.”
"For example, the imperial court can send officials to explain the laws and policies of the imperial court to the people at the bottom. They can publicize the Emperor's benevolence and righteousness, the bravery of the border soldiers, and so on to increase the trust of the people in the emperor and the imperial court.”
" Or, Your Majesty, you can also frequently patrol the barracks of the army, receive the low-level soldiers at a close distance, and listen to the needs and suggestions of the low-level soldiers. This can increase the trust of the soldiers in Your Majesty, and also strengthen Your Majesty's control over the army.”
" In addition, those who have sacrificed themselves and made contributions to the Imperium, regardless of their status, must be given certain honors and rewards. Only in this way can the successors be inspired and have more trust in the emperor and the imperial court.”
“.......”
Xu Yan talked endlessly.
He also put forward a series of practical suggestions on how to enhance the trust of the people and soldiers in the emperor's court.
Liu Che was intoxicated.
Dongfang Shuo immediately turned into a scribe and recorded down all the suggestions.
Yes.
At this moment.
Xu Yan was the most beautiful child in the entire venue.
Only his voice could be heard in the entire Weiyang Palace.
Xu Yan wasn't bragging.
In terms of bragging.
In this world where there was no internet.
He was not convinced by anyone.
"Your Majesty, it's already noon. It's time for lunch!”
Unknowingly, the sun had already set. Su Heng carefully opened his mouth to remind him.
The sun was in the west, around one to three o'clock in the afternoon.
In other words.
It was just a little bit of faith in the strategy of strengthening the army.
Xu Yan chatted with Liu Che for the entire morning.
Liu Che was shocked and couldn't help but sigh,""Mister is really a great talent of the country!"
It was until he heard Su Heng's reminder.
Only then did he realize that it was already noon. It was time for lunch.
"Sir is indeed a great talent of the country. I am deeply impressed!”
"Please rest for a moment and enjoy your meal. I will consult you later!”
After Liu Che finished speaking, he turned to Su Heng and instructed,"Bring the lunch up. I want to eat with Mister.”
"And Dongfang Shuo, stay and eat with us!”
Thinking about how Dongfang Shuo had been writing all morning, Liu Che allowed him to stay for dinner.
"Your Majesty, I thank you for your grace!”
Dongfang Shuo was so grateful that he couldn't help but bow his head again.
Xu Yan cupped his hands and said,""Thank you, Your Majesty."
Although he didn't think that the dishes cooked by the royal chef could compare to the little chef he had carefully trained.
However, the feeling of showing off in front of Liu Che was really good!
It gave Xu Yan an indescribable sense of satisfaction and accomplishment.
Therefore, he did not care about this small problem.
Just as Xu Yan had expected.
The food in the palace was not as good as he had imagined.
After counting, there were only meat soup, soup dishes, roasted meat, and flatbread.
In terms of richness.
Let alone compared to the future.
It was even worse than the kitchen of Xiaoxiang Restaurant.
At most, the ingredients were fresh, there was a wide variety of meat, and the spices were free.
As for the taste of the food?
It could only be said to be average.
If the imperial chef hadn't used a special method to neutralize the bitterness in the coarse salt and the fishy smell in the meat, the meat would have been much better.
Xu Yan might not even be able to swallow it.
Dongfang Shuo, on the other hand, was eating with relish.
However, this was not difficult to understand.
Dongfang Shuo was a scholar.
However, he was only born in a small family, and the family's strength was not strong.
He had been in Chang 'an City for more than half a year and had spent most of the gold and silver he had brought with him. Now, he could only rely on the food and accommodation provided by the Public Transport Department.
How's the food at the bus station?
There was no need to say anything.
In Xu Yan's words, he would not even eat the pigs and dogs of the future.
Although the delicately prepared meals by the imperial chefs could not compare to the dishes made by Xu Yan's little chef, they were still better than the dishes made by the Public Transport Bureau.
Therefore, it wasn't strange that Dongfang Shuo enjoyed the food.
After Liu Che drank two mouthfuls of meat soup, he saw that Xu Yan had stopped eating. He was surprised and couldn't help but ask with concern,"Why did Mister eat so little? Could it be that the lunch in the palace doesn't suit Mister's appetite? Should I get someone to make another serving?”
Xu Yan waved his hand and sighed." Your Majesty, there's no need to trouble yourself. It's my own problem!"”
"I didn't expect the food in the palace to be so difficult to swallow.”
"I didn't expect that His Majesty, as the emperor of the Great Han Dynasty, would eat such an unpalatable meal every day.”
"Could this be what Mencius said? Therefore, when heaven is about to give great responsibilities to people, they must first suffer their minds, work hard on their bones and muscles, starve their bodies and skin, empty their bodies, and disturb their actions. This is why they can move their hearts, endure their nature, and do what they cannot do.”
"Your Majesty, I deeply admire your perseverance and ambition!”
Xu Yan first commented on the food in the palace and then praised Liu Che with a rare quote.
Liu Che was speechless.
Alright then!
Liu Che was a little confused!
He first looked at his favorite venison soup, then looked at the other dishes on the table.
That's right!
They were all the best food in the palace.
After eating it, many princes and ministers praised the imperial chef who made it, saying that it was the best meal they had ever eaten.
Why did it become hard to swallow in Xu Yan's mouth?
Are those ministers lying to me?
Or had Xu Yan really eaten better food than this?
Or was Mr. Xu being sarcastic? Was he warning him not to be so extravagant and wasteful?
Liu Che fell into doubt.
As for Xu Yan's praise, he automatically blocked it.
After all, this Mr. Xu in front of him had such a bad personality and his words were so infuriating.
Even though he had just come into contact with it, Liu Che had a deep understanding of it.
Without being sure of Xu Yan's true intentions.
Liu Che could only follow his words and ask,""What do you mean by that, sir? Could it be that there's food in this world that's more delicious than the food in the Imperial Palace?”
Xu Yan didn't know that Liu Che had already fallen into a deep state of confusion.
Otherwise, he would definitely complain, A creature like the emperor was really scheming!
"Delicious?"
"Your Majesty, do you have some misunderstanding about delicious food?”
"Or perhaps, does Your Majesty think that I am deceiving Your Majesty?”
Xu Yan's face revealed a displeased expression, as if he was angered by Liu Che's words. He said in a fit of anger,"If Your Majesty doesn't believe me, you can send someone to Xiao Xiang Restaurant's Zither Heart Building and invite the cook over to personally prepare a meal for Your Majesty.”
"After Your Majesty eats it, you will know what is delicious.”
"Oh right, remember to send a few more people to bring the pots, seasonings, ingredients, and so on from the kitchen.”
Xu Yan said slowly.
He felt that he had to let Liu Che, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, know what was truly delicious.
If it was cooked with a copper cauldron, green salt, spices, and sauces, it could also be considered delicious.
Then, it was a dish that was stir-fried with an iron pot, refined salt, soybean oil, and so on.
Could it be called luminous cuisine?
I hope everyone will support my new book and give the author some motivation to write!
