Chapter 690: Dazzled?

The unexpected harvest of Shuobei Clematis made Yunzheng feel very good.

In the evening, Yunzheng couldn't wait to have hot pot with everyone in the government office.

If you can tolerate spicy food, add chopped clematis to the dipping sauce. If you can't tolerate spicy food, just use regular sauce.

When everyone ate it, they discovered that the sauce had a unique flavor after adding Shuobei clematis.

The burning sensation makes you want to eat.

It was obviously so spicy that I kept sticking out my tongue, but the more I ate, the more I wanted to eat.

Even Ye Zi, who had a poor appetite because she was pregnant, had a huge appetite.

"Your Highness is truly a god. If it weren't for Your Highness, none of us would have known that this thing could be used as a condiment!"

Wu Shengtai kept flattering him while eating tender meat dipped in sauce.

Because he had been drinking water boiled with Shuobei Clematis before, he was more able to tolerate spicy food than Ye Zi.

But even so, Wu Shengtai was sweating all over after eating, and steam was coming out of his forehead.

It looks like he is practicing some kind of peerless magic skill.

"Stop flattering me and collect more of this."

Yun Zheng smiled and glared at Wu Shengtai, "It doesn't matter if your purchase price is a little higher. Before the heavy snow closes the mountains, you can also give the poor people more work."

There are too many people who know about Clematis Shuobei, and they definitely can’t hide it if they want to.

Even if others don't know that this thing can be used as a condiment, as long as they know the taste of this thing and make a little guess, they will definitely know where the spiciness comes from.

However, they can charge more first.

In this way, they have an important ingredient, and the people can also collect Shuobei clematis in exchange for some food or money, which can be regarded as killing two birds with one stone.

"I understand."

Wu Shengtai nodded repeatedly.

Yun Zheng smiled and saw that Ye Zi was getting excited about eating, and reminded him: "Don't eat it so spicy. If you eat too much, you will easily get angry, and it is not good for the children."

"hot?"

Ye Zi raised his eyes and looked at Yunzheng, a little confused.

There is a word for spicy in Daqian Dynasty, and people often talk about whether wine is spicy or not.

But the taste of Clematis clematis is different from the spicy taste that everyone is familiar with.

No one has any idea about this kind of spiciness.

It is precisely because of this that Shen Kuan said that the burning pain was abnormal before.

"The taste of Shuobei Clematis is called spicy..."

Yunzheng once again transformed into a popular science emperor and began to educate everyone on what spicy food is.

Under Yunzheng's explanation, everyone had an idea of this spiciness for the first time.

"Is this what you read in that strange book?"

Miaoyin looked at Yunzheng with burning eyes.

"Yep!"

Yunzheng nodded and smiled.

Anyway, whatever can't be explained now, I can just refer to that strange book.

"How come that strange book you are reading has everything recorded in it?"

Miaoyin was so curious that she began to doubt whether that strange book existed.

"Otherwise, why would it be called Qishu?"

Yun Zheng laughed loudly and was about to say more when a burst of noise suddenly came from outside.

Yun Zheng was about to ask, but he saw a government official rushing in like a whirlwind, "Reporting to the prince, a group of unknown people came outside the south gate. They wanted to force their way into the city before. I heard from the brothers that the prince is here. This time Only then have we settled down! However, those people are sneaky and seem to have an agenda!"

Although the city wall in Le'an is still only half a foot high, a curfew is still in place.

After a certain time, entry and exit are prohibited.

It's just that there is no city gate in Le'an now, so Wu Shengtai sent government officials to guard the planned city gate and act as a human gate.

Listening to the officer's words, Yun Zheng couldn't help but be curious.

Sneaky?

Have a plan?

He is here with his personal guards!

Is it possible? Who still wants to make their own decisions?

"How many of them are there?"

Yunzheng asked immediately.

The yamen officer replied: "It's dark outside, there are hundreds of people just visible, and there should be quite a few people following behind!"

"Are they carrying weapons?" Yun Zheng asked again.

"I didn't see anyone with weapons." The officer replied.

Yunzheng thought for a moment and immediately ordered: "Shen Kuan, take someone to take a look! Check carefully. If they don't carry weapons, let them enter the city! It's very cold outside, don't let them sleep in the open."

"Yes!"

Shen Kuan immediately took the order and left.

"Would you like to get ready?"

Miaoyin warned: "Maybe they are really here for you."

"Let Shen Kuanren go take a look first!" Yun Zheng smiled nonchalantly, "There are so many people guarding outside! How can it be so easy to assassinate me?"

Let alone hundreds of people.

Even if a few thousand people come, as long as they don't carry weapons, they can only sell their heads in front of his personal guards.

Besides, if those people really have a plan, it's like a city wall that can be jumped in. Wouldn't it be better for them to just sneak up and launch a sneak attack?

Why go through the city gate openly and insist on being discovered?

Miaoyin was worried at first, but after hearing what Yunzheng said, it made sense, so she didn't say anything more at the moment.

"Okay, don't be suspicious and keep eating!"

Yun Zheng didn't care and continued to enjoy the food in front of him like a normal person.

If the situation is like this, they will act as if they are facing a formidable enemy, and simply don't go out in the future.

Seeing Yunzheng's relaxed expression, the others gradually felt relieved.

Yun Zheng took a sip of wine, and when he put down the glass, he said to Wu Shengtai: "We will still have to build a few more large inns in the city! Although there are not many people passing by now, we can still prepare them in advance! Whenever people like this group of people pass by tonight, it gives people a place to rest..."

In the early stage, these inns can be run by the government.

When the city reaches a certain scale, if a businessman is willing to take over, the inn can also be rented out.

Nowadays, the small inns in the city can only accommodate thirty or fifty people.

If a large caravan is passing through and needs accommodation, it will have to be accommodated separately.

But for the caravan, it is not so safe if they are separated.

"I understand."

Wu Shengtai nodded, "If the prince is fine tomorrow, you might as well ask the prince to help find a better place to build a large inn. As long as the location is confirmed, I can have people start construction tomorrow."

"You can just decide this yourself."

Yun Zheng waved his hand, "I will go to Beiluguan tomorrow and will not stay here long."

"Ok."

Wu Shengtai smiled and said no more.

Afterwards, Yun Zheng told Wu Shengtai some matters about building Le'an, and Wu Shengtai also wrote them down one by one.

Just as they were eating and talking, Shen Kuan walked in with several people.

Seeing the person walking in, Yun Zheng's pupils suddenly shrank.

The next moment, Yunzheng rubbed his eyes vigorously.

Nima!

You're not drunk, are you?

Dazzled?

Next to him, Ye Zi, who was about to pick up vegetables, suddenly froze.
