Training Tai Sui

Page 265

There seems to be no cotton in the Sui Dynasty. These days, the bedding is filled with kapok, which is more than one level inferior to cotton in terms of warmth and comfort. The kapok also has the word "cotton", otherwise it would be difficult to explain what he just said about the cotton jacket.

Thinking of this, Qin Feng interrupted his idea to speak less. Being with a king is like being with a tiger. Although Empress Dugu is not a king, she is not much different. It is always right to be cautious.

After chatting for a while, Empress Dugu said with a straight face: "Mr. Qin, I heard that Mr. Su from the Ministry of Civil Affairs gave a memorial to the emperor, saying that in order to unify our counting method in the Sui Dynasty, he proposed to implement this grand... Big food number? I heard it was your suggestion?"

"The sage has a good memory, and it is Dashi."

Empress Dugu and Yang Jian are both called the Second Sage, so Qin Feng was not surprised at her meddling in the government, and even complimented her a little.

Qin Feng said with a humble face: "The sage's words are serious. This is just a legacy of the predecessors. I just pick up the wisdom of others, and I can't do anything."

Empress Dugu smiled, waved her hand and said, "Don't be nervous, this is not your prelude, I'm just talking gossip."

"However, the emperor attaches great importance to this at this time. On that day, Master Su was allowed to use this big food number in the Ministry of Civil Affairs. Today, he even ordered the six departments to start learning."

As expected of Yang Jian, he saw the benefits at a glance, and this courage...

Qin Feng was sure before that that Yang Jian could definitely see the benefits of using Arabic numerals. The only thing that worried him was that there would be opposition from some old-fashioned ministers in the court.

But now it seems that he underestimated the founding emperor of the Sui Dynasty.

However, this is indeed a great honor for the courtiers. Qin Feng raised his head slightly and said respectfully: "Your Majesty is wise, and you can naturally see the benefits of Dashi numbers."

When did this kid become so disciplined?

Recalling Qin Feng's performance when he entered the palace the previous two times, Empress Dugu was even more satisfied with Qin Feng.

There are not many young people who don't care about saving people, and don't take pride when they should behave. Nowadays, there are not many young people like this.

Empress Dugu smiled and said: "Guang'er has been learning with you for a long time, and recently I am also learning this number of food, as you said, it is much more convenient."

Is this for Yang Jian to praise him?

But the emperor is too picky, right?

Qin Feng thought in his heart, not to talk about the merits of being an envoy to Nan Chen, he taught the officials of the Ministry of Civil Affairs for free, no matter how you say, he should be able to be a small official, but in the end he praised you verbally, it was not you Yang Jian who came forward personally, How dare you?

"Don't worry, it should be yours who can't escape."

Seemingly seeing Qin Feng's thoughts, Queen Dugu's sudden words made Qin Feng blush.

"The sage was too worried. Contributing to the great Sui Dynasty, the grassroots naturally have a duty to do so, and dare not ask for any rewards."

Yang Awu stared at his big eyes, looked at his mother for a while, and then at Qin Feng, as if he couldn't understand what the two were playing.

"Mother, have you finished talking? Qin Feng wants to take me fishing to catch crabs."

"Okay, okay." After being interrupted by Yang Awu, Empress Dugu didn't have the intention to continue. Most importantly, he felt that Qin Feng, a smart person, should know what she wanted to say.

"Go, remember to come back before dinner."

"understood!"

Yang Awu happily agreed, jumped forward and took Qin Feng's hand and pulled it out.

"Caomin retire."

Qin Feng really understood the meaning of Empress Dugu, just like what he thought before, it was indeed to appease, and most importantly, it seemed that Yang Jian was not going to use him, but wanted to leave him to his son.

As for which son it is, I am afraid that only Yang Jian himself knows.

After slowly returning to Qinjiazhuang, it was time for lunch. Under Yang Awu's urging, Qin Feng hurriedly finished his lunch, and took the two little girls and Dahei to the large restaurant next to the main house. pond.

I don't know if it's because of the crabs and fishes, or because in autumn, the water in the pond is no longer as clear as in summer, but rather deep.

Qin Feng threw the hook down, then stuck the fishing rod in the soil, took off his shoes, rolled up his trousers, and began to take two little girls to touch crabs by the edge of the pond.

It's a pity that I didn't think of this when I dug the hole, so the pond is straight up and down. Although the edge has a slight slope, the water is still very deep.

Qin Feng lay on the edge and touched for a long time, not to mention the crab, he even saw a crab leg.

"Qin Feng, have you caught it?"

Qin Feng raised his head and saw Yang Ah Wu's eyes full of expectation, he was a little annoyed and said, "Ah Wu, don't worry, watch me catch all these crabs, there won't be any left!"

The angry Qin Feng was terrified. He snatched the net bag that he had prepared earlier from Qin Lang's hand, and then directly put the two small fish that he had just transferred into it, and then put the net bag into the bottom of the water.

"Wait, those crabs don't even try to escape!"

Yang Awu seemed to have forgotten the incident of falling into the water last time, and dragged Hanhan to the edge of the pond, so frightened that Zeng Liang hurried over to grab the two of them.

"Half a quarter of an hour." Qin Feng vowed: "After half a quarter of an hour, there will definitely be a lot of crabs for us to eat."

It's a pity that nearly half of the time passed, but a few small fish crashed into the net, but none of the crabs Qin Feng mentioned was there.

Should not be!

Qin Feng is sure that his memory is not wrong. In spring, he often asks people to put crabs in the pond, and this time is also when the crabs are mature and the fat is yellow. How can there be no one?

Could it be that...the group of little devils in Biezhuang have been caught?

"Yes, I see it!"

Just when Qin Feng was thinking about whether to arrest and torture all the wild boys in the village, Yang Awu cried out happily.

This is a pain for Zeng Liang, the strength of the two little girls is not small, and the soil by the pond is a bit slippery, Zeng Liang is already sweating profusely at this time, and he is afraid that if he is not careful, he will...

"Shh, don't scare the crab away."

"Shh."

Yang Ah Wu nodded first, then turned around and pointed his slender index finger on his lips with a serious expression.

Zeng Liang couldn't help being amused, but fortunately, Yang Ah Wu, who turned his head, took a step forward so that everyone could see him, and had already left the confines of the pond.

Because the net bag was not placed at the bottom of the pond, people around could see the crabs with their teeth and claws open, and there were more than ten crabs in this net, which was enough for them to eat.

Qin Feng waited patiently, and only when all the crabs crawled to the center of the net bag and stretched out their big pincers to catch the small fish, he lifted the net bag up.

"Wow!"

Yang Awu looked happy, but the maids and nuns looked at the weird-looking crab and wondered whether it could be eaten or not.

In the afternoon, the steamed crabs were served on the dining table. Although they still looked like claws, they were red and fragrant, which made people's appetite greatly increased.

You only need to open the back cover, and after cleaning out the inedible things such as lung lobes and crab hearts, the full crab roe will make you swallow your mouth water just by looking at it.

"Ah Wu is still young, so he doesn't eat much."
