How can a monarch do such a thing?
How many people can you feed by replacing these bacon and fresh meat with corn?
Is this a feast and how many ordinary people can’t eat meat for a generation?
They know that a country’s monarch and ordinary people have different status and dignity, and some pleasures should be enjoyed, but Zhou Wang’s move is too much. What do the ministers think?
If the king is such a minister, he will be extravagant and prosperous. As a result, the consequences of luxury in the DPRK are unpredictable
Boyi and Shu Qi glances to see each other’s disappointment.
After the banquet, the two returned to the temporary residence and sat in wait for a while until the evening when they were hungry.
Uncle Qi said, "Brother sent some meals to the palace in the evening to entertain me. I’ll eat something first and then think about the admonition method."
Boyi sighed and said, "Third brother, give those meals to the people. Tell them not to send them any more. You can follow me to find some wild fruits and wild vegetables outside the city."
Chapter 1 Don’t eat millet.
Out of the south gate of Chaoge, Boyi and Shu Qi have been too tired to hook up their waists.
It’s a big song, a temporary mansion for two people and a downtown area. Fortunately, it’s getting late, and not many people on the road can’t leave the city at noon now.
"Brother, there is a fruit forest over there." Uncle Qi pointed not far away.
"Go and hold on for a while" Boyi walked firmly.
The two did not let the DPRK become extravagant, and their firm belief supported them step by step into the fruit forest.
I don’t want to have many people in the fruit forest.
Uncle Qi’s pace is getting heavier and heavier. Isn’t Zhou Wang the only place where the wine pool and meat forest are fatuous and so greedy for pleasure?
Zhou Wang, who is known for his virtue, lied to himself to cover it up? !
"Zhou Wang … Tao …" Uncle couldn’t bear to wipe his eyes when he saw the people actively picking wild fruits.
"What are you talking about?" At this time, an old man slowly squeezed into Shu Qi’s side and seemed angry.
Huh?
Shu Qi’s one leng has already heard that Zhou Wang called it "sinful". Is it already harsh?
People are not allowed to talk, and there will be severe punishment?
Uncle’s heart suddenly became heavy again.
"Listen to your accent from other places?" An old woman leaned forward and picked a bunch of fruits conveniently.
"My brother is from the North," Shu Qi replied politely.
"You also heard that Asako has a wild fruit brewing method? Many people have come to inquire about the old lady and told you that it is best to make wine from wild grapes, although no one wants it if it is sour, but the wine is bright red in color, mellow in texture and very good in taste. Unfortunately, it only matures in September, and it is dark and bright, so it can be harvested from wild fruits to make wine. "
Boyi picked some fruits and picked wild vegetables slowly.
When the old woman saw it, she wondered, "Can this wild vegetable be brewed with wine? Why do you pick wild vegetables?"
Boyi looked up and replied "food"
The old woman’s voice turned cheerful and said, "It’s also true that fruit wine is good, but you can’t sing songs. Heart dishes are also a must. Do you want to buy some? This is a specialty of Chaoge, and a bundle costs four pence. "
At present, these two people are dressed simply, unlike the rich and expensive people, unlike the former Chinese nobles who asked for the price and didn’t buy it for nothing.
This …
Boyi looked at the old woman with a hopeful expression, got up and took out a dustpan for them in exchange for the usual copper coins, and bought a few articles to buy heart vegetables, which also counted as people’s worries. With this money, the old woman’s life should be better, and she should not pick the fruit to subsidize the family.
Uncle Qi crouched down and his brother picked wild vegetables together.
When the old woman saw that they had taken out their usual money, she knew that her identity was unusual, but she had a lot of doubts. She couldn’t help but ask, "Do you think you are noble people and want to pick this wild vegetable food?"
Boyi sighed, "We two brothers are ambassadors of the solitary bamboo country. Seeing that the meat forest in Zhou Wang wine pool is greedy for pleasure and money, we decided not to eat. Su would rather pick wild vegetables and persuade Zhou Wang to correct it."
The old woman’s doubts are even worse, and she has an idea of whether these two people are mentally ill. Unfortunately, there is no universal land yet, otherwise it will definitely refute this wild fruit. Isn’t it a big business?
The old woman pulled the grass and didn’t find a few fruits, so she said, "Zhou Wang’s noble gentleman enjoys pleasure because he is greedy for pleasure. If Zhou Wang’s earthwork hadn’t called the Chaoge early, I wouldn’t know how much land tax to pay. Besides, this fruit wine, like the old man, can now pick some wild fruits to make wine and take it to the market to make some money."
The old woman pointed to the angry old man Shu Qi who didn’t expect such a reason in the room.
"Ten thousand adults have repeatedly lamented that fruit wine is the credit of Zhou Wang’s wine-casting pool, and it is also meaningful to want to come to the meat forest. We wait for the common people to care so much about what to do. Some small favors are enough, and we can go to horse races from time to time to make some small money."
Uncle qi leng leng seems to be different from what he imagined.
Boyi found something from the old woman’s words and asked, "What is betting on horses?"
The old woman replied with a smile, "Every seven days, there will be a horse race at the racecourse outside the city. I can bet that if I win, I can get money. My child likes it. Even if I bet ten or fifty articles, I can have a good time. Zhou Wang will personally participate in us every time, mainly because it is interesting to see those aristocrats see that they are thousands of articles with a wave of their hands."
Betting on horses …
Boyi frowned, and he felt more and more wrong.
Isn’t it all fun to bet on horses in the wine pool and meat forest?
He has long heard about the origin of fruit wine. What’s in the wine pool?
Aren’t they all painstakingly researched in ten thousand years? !
If there is no fruit wine, it is an accident that Zhou Wang is even more guilty
The people don’t know anything about politics, and they don’t know what it means to be recognized by the wine forest. But how can they not know that these things are harmful and beneficial? !
I’m afraid that Zhou Wang was praised by these ignorant people and admired by officials in the DPRK. What’s the difference between those nobles who bet on horses and race horses in person?
Can’t be like this!
Boyi and Shu Qi all thought of this, and they couldn’t help it. They had to remonstrate and set things right early to make Zhou Wang wake up and correct his mistakes when he could.
Boyi asked, "Dare you ask the old woman when the horse race was last?"
"Are you going to bet even after tomorrow?" The old woman said, "Today, when you bought a heart vegetable, I will tell you that betting on horses is also skillful. You are the envoys of the solitary bamboo kingdom, but you can’t be greedy and tired of betting on high odds horses like nobles."
"A while ago, there was a rich Taoist who bet on the horse with the highest odds every time. One bet was ten strokes and never won, but it made me happy. Unfortunately, I haven’t seen his family recently, and I’m afraid I can’t afford to play."
