Chapter 26 Eating Hot Pot and Drinking Tea
"Establish an academy to open up people's wisdom?"
Shihuang showed a thoughtful look: "Let's listen to the details."
"The clan controls knowledge, and now many officials in my Great Qin are from the clan."
"Once this situation goes on for a long time, the clan will be able to influence the direction of the court, and even influence your choice."
"And the solution to this situation is also very simple, that is to open a royal academy, recruit students from all over the world, educate all people, and open up wisdom for the people."
Upon hearing this, Shi Huang fell into deep thought.
It has to be said that Ying Yu's idea is indeed effective against the clan, but the impact of this incident is also huge.
"Young master, educate the world and enlighten the people, have you ever thought about the consequences of doing so?"
At this time Shangqing Mengyi asked.
Ying Yu sneered when he heard the words, he naturally understood why Meng Yi asked such a question.
This involves a policy that has existed since ancient times: the policy of fooling the people!
From the ruler's point of view, the more ignorant the people in the world, the better, because then their rule can be long and unshakable.
But this is wrong.
"Father, the people in this world are not as ignorant as imagined, on the contrary, they are all very smart."
"The people have always depended on food. As long as there is food to eat, they can make ends meet. Even if it is very bitter and tired, they will bear it and will not say anything."
"If you let your false Taoism blow to the sky, it's just going in one ear and out the other, just pretending to be very respectful."
"But the oppression is too severe. When it becomes unbearable, the common people will immediately rise up..."
"It's like sailing a boat on water. Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it."
The first emperor's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and he muttered to himself: "Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it."
"Young Master said it was easy. Do you know how much manpower and material resources it takes to open an academy?"
"Now my Daqin Mansion's treasury is empty, let alone building an academy, and even the books and bamboo slips used are hard to get out."
Ying Yu looked at Meng Yi, what's the matter with this old boy?
I didn't offend him, why did I fight against myself everywhere.
After pondering for a while, Ying Yu still opened his mouth and said:
"Father, my son has a technique called papermaking. The paper made by this technique can be used to write characters and write books. It is more than ten thousand times better than bamboo tubes."
The first emperor was taken aback when he heard the words, and then showed disbelief, excitedly said: "Really?"
There was a smile on the corner of Ying Yu's mouth: "Father, you give my son some craftsmen, and when the paper is made, you can tell whether it is true or not."
The first emperor was overjoyed when he heard the words: "Okay, I will serve as a servant of everyone in the Shaofu. If it is not enough, I can recruit civilian husbands..."
"I only have one request, and that is to present this so-called paper in front of me in the shortest possible time. Can it be done?"
Ying Yu nodded: "Father, don't worry, at least one month, at most half a year, the old man will definitely see the paper."
"Okay, haha, that's great!"
At this moment, Qin Feng came in and whispered something beside Ying Yu.
"Father, you haven't eaten yet, have you? Why don't you have some at Erchen's place?"
The first emperor nodded upon hearing the words: "Okay, let's eat some at your place."
After a while, Shi Huang looked at the hot pot in front of him, with an expression of displeasure, and said coldly:
"A pot of muddy soup, a few slices of raw meat, are you going to give me these things?"
Meng Yi on the side also echoed:
"My lord, you are too stingy. You actually served His Majesty with muddy soup and raw meat. This is really disrespecting His Majesty."
"Meng Shangqing is right. As far as the old minister knows, you are not short of money. Why are you so stingy?"
Wang Ben also complained dissatisfiedly.
Ying Yu was so angry when he heard the words, "Say I'm stingy, so don't bother with that."
As he spoke, he put the hot pot base that the system rewarded into it.
"Come on, Father, let's eat together and let them watch."
While speaking, the hot pot bottom material in the pot had melted, and a strong fragrance wafted out.
"It has a strong aroma."
With a word of emotion, Shi Huang picked up a piece of mutton, looked it up and down, and frowned.
No matter how you look at it, the meat is raw meat, so I can't help feeling embarrassed.
Ying Yu naturally also saw Brother Zheng's embarrassment, and said with a smile: "Father, pick up this mutton, put it in the pot and rinse it, and then you can eat it."
After a short operation, everyone who watched looked confused.
"This... this is all right?"
"Yes, it's that simple!"
"Royal father, if you have enough food and clothing by yourself, I will not greet you. You can do what you want, I will eat first."
After saying that, Ying Yu couldn't wait to eat.
After just the first bite, Ying Yu narrowed his eyes.
It's still the familiar taste, which is really nostalgic!
Seeing Ying Yu enjoying himself, Shi Huang couldn't help it, and imitated it.
Put the rinsed mutton into your mouth.
After just chewing a mouthful, Shi Huang's eyes widened sharply.
Immediately afterwards, another piece of mutton was sandwiched, cooked in the pot in the same way, and then eagerly put into the mouth.
Neither father nor son spoke, just piece by piece, constantly sending mutton into their mouths.
Of course, there are several kinds of green vegetables interspersed in the middle.
Gollum!
The sound of swallowing saliva sounded.
On the side, Meng Yi and Wang Ben stared straight at Shi Huang and Ying Yu.
"It's delicious, it's really delicious."
"Compared to this food, the meal I ate in the palace is simply inferior to the chaff."
"Smell...it's so fragrant."
Shihuang, who ate hot pot for the first time, was instantly conquered.
At this moment, he felt more comfortable than ever, with sweat on his forehead, as if all his troubles had been taken away.
Can it not be delicious?
This is the hot pot base rewarded by the system.
As the so-called system products must be high-quality products, this is not just talk.
Just this pot of soup base, even if it is boiled insoles, it is delicious.
As the emperor of the Great Qin Dynasty, Yingzheng naturally had no shortage of delicacies from mountains and seas.
It's just that the dishes in this era are too simple, either roasted or boiled, and with the lack of seasoning, how good can the taste be.
Now that I suddenly eat this, the fresh, fragrant, spicy and spicy hot pot will naturally be regarded as a delicacy in the world.
Shihuang was sweating profusely after eating, while Meng Yi and Wang Ben who were on the side swallowed droolingly.
"Father, eat slowly, I'm trying this tea!"
Ying Yu poured a cup of tea and passed it to Brother Zheng.
Shi Huang took the teacup, didn't pay attention, and drank it down in one gulp.
But in the next second, he was stunned.
"What did you drink for me just now?"
"Tea, Father, would you like another cup?"
Shi Huang nodded slightly, and Ying Yu poured him another cup.
Shihuang picked up the teacup, first looked at the green tea in it, and then put it to his mouth and took a sip.
"You said it was tea?"
Ying Yu nodded, "Father, this tea is called Biluochun. It was recently developed by my son. It tastes okay."
"You developed it?"
Shihuang looked disbelieving, and then took a few sips in a row, and couldn't help admiring:
"It's really delicious!"
Ying Yu smiled and said: "Father, this tea has a bitter fragrance, and a sweet fragrance. The tea is bitter at first, and after the bitterness is gone, it becomes sweet again, just like life..."
