It uses the best abalone, shark fin, sea cucumber and other precious things, and is cooked with slow fire for 24 hours! The empress raised her head, a little surprised:"Lin Aiqing can actually cook?""

"Yes, the old slave was also surprised when he heard the news! The old eunuch said with a smile:"But the Number One Scholar is so knowledgeable and capable that it's not surprising that he seems to have another skill!""

"makes sense!"The empress nodded and smiled.

At first, she thought Lin Beifan was just a scholar who was good at reading.

Then, she discovered that he was also a martial arts master.

Later, she discovered that his ability to serve in politics and officialdom was very outstanding, and he could fight alone in both civil and military affairs. All officials did not fall behind, and he helped her solve a lot of troubles, and she was very valued by her.

Later, she discovered that the other party was also an inventor, and invented two great national artifacts, the large balloon and the hovercraft.

Then, she discovered that he was also an inventor. He is also a military master, with all kinds of military abilities at his fingertips. He helped the escaped princess of the Xianyue Dynasty and built a huge foundation.

Later, it was discovered that he was also good at medicine and corrected many people's medical misconceptions.

Now, even the chef He has all the skills.

He is like a blind box that is constantly being refreshed. There are little surprises every time you open it.

You never know what other abilities he has.

At this time, the fragrance of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall wafted over.

The empress cheered up:"Okay It smells so good. I have never smelled something so fragrant. Come and give it to me to try!"

Buddha Jumps Over the Wall brought it to the empress, opened the lid, and a richer fragrance spread out with the heat. The entire royal study was filled with the rich fragrance of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall.

"It's still hot. It seems like it was delivered right after it came out of the pot. The two of them are interested in it!"The empress said happily.

Although she was called a loner, she also longed to be cared for.

For example, Lin Beifan was her most trusted and favored minister, and the little princess was her most caring friend. The friendship between the two of them made her She felt warm in her heart.

She picked up the spoon and was about to eat

"Your Majesty, how about...let the old slave have a taste first?" said the old eunuch next to him.

The empress waved her hand:"Don't worry, they won't harm me!"

As he said that, he took a spoonful of the soup, put it in his mouth and tasted it carefully. A look of intoxication appeared on his beautiful face:"It's delicious! fragrant! beautiful! The taste... is really amazing! I have tasted countless broths, but this soup has the richest flavor!"

After two sips, I took a bite of abalone.

"The abalone was cooked just right, not rotten at all, but very soft and chewy and not chewy!"

"Also, the shark fin has absorbed the soup, making it extremely comfortable to eat. Enjoy it!"

"And these mushrooms are so delicious!"

……

Just like that, the empress commented while eating.

In less than one stick of incense, the cup of Buddha Jumping Over the Wall was eaten by the empress.

The flat belly has a slight protrusion.

But the empress felt very satisfied and said lazily:"My dear, he enjoys it better than I do! He actually made fun of the delicacies I gave him! This Buddha Jumps Over the Wall is the best delicacy in the world!""

"Your Majesty, since you like to eat Buddha and jump over the wall, why not ask Zhuangyuan Lang to contribute the manufacturing method and hand it over to the imperial kitchen, so that Your Majesty can eat it often!"The old eunuch offered advice

"It's a good idea, but forget it! The empress smiled and said:"The ones made by the imperial kitchen are different from those made by Lin Aiqing!" For Yushanfang, this is just a job! But for Lin Aiqing, this is what he wants! Money has a price, friendship is priceless! You go back and tell Zhuangyuanlang that I like his Buddha Jumping over the Wall very much!"

"Yes, Your Majesty!"The old eunuch heard the string and knew the elegant meaning.

In fact, it was a hint to Lin Beifan that if he makes Buddha Jump over the Wall or makes other delicious food in the future, he will send a copy. His Majesty likes it very much.

This is also a way to show favor and enjoy the happiness of the monarch and his subjects. Performance

"By the way, two months have passed! Can the night blindness and beriberi of military lieutenants be improved?"The empress asked with concern.

She has always thought about this matter. Most of the army officers and soldiers suffer from night blindness and beriberi. Although it is not a big deal, it is a stubborn disease that greatly affects the performance of the army. People with night blindness make it easier to fight at night. Defeat.

Suffering from beriberi, it is a problem for him to march and fight.

If these two diseases are improved, his army's strength will definitely be improved.

"Your Majesty, this old slave doesn’t know, but please ask General Zhao to come and ask, he is the person in charge of this matter!"

"Quickly tell General Zhao to come to the palace to see you!"

Not long after, General Zhao entered the palace with great force.

"Farewell to Your Majesty, long live my emperor!"

"General Zhao is exempt from the gift! The empress asked with concern:"I asked you to conduct experiments based on"Li's Medical Prescription" before. How is the situation now?" Can soldiers' night blindness and beriberi be improved?"

"Your Majesty, according to your instructions, I will select 100 sick people from the army and provide them with corresponding food according to the medical books, every day without interruption! General Zhao said loudly:"

After two months of experiments, the soldiers' night blindness and beriberi have been greatly improved!" Among them, 32 people were cured of night blindness and 34 were cured of beriberi! Although the other people were not cured, their conditions were greatly improved and their symptoms became milder!"

"This was completely unimaginable before, and the methods recorded in medical books are indeed effective!

General Zhao said overjoyed:"Your Majesty, due to the short experimental time, the number of recoveries is small!" Give Weichen another two months, Weichen is very confident that more than half of the people will be cured!"

"good! The empress clapped her hands and cheered, saying happily:"Since this method is effective, let's promote this method to the entire army!""

"Your Majesty is wise!"General Zhao said loudly and retreated.

There is no small matter in the military. This matter spread quickly, and the people were very surprised.

"《Are the treatments for night blindness and beriberi recorded in"Li's Medical Prescriptions" really effective?"

"How can it be fake? The imperial court has been secretly testing it for more than two months, and has come to very positive conclusions, so it has been promoted throughout the army!"

"It seems that Master Jijiu is really a doctor with excellent medical skills, and his method is effective!"

"Other treatment methods recorded in this medical book may also be true!"

……

People are talking a lot, and the book"Li's Medical Prescriptions" has once again become popular.

At this time, a young man in luxurious clothes walked up the street. Listening to the discussion, he was very surprised:"I didn't expect that beriberi and night blindness can be cured! If this method is promoted, Dawu's army will definitely be able to improve its effectiveness." 1~20%! This is not good news for our country!"

"Your Highness, if you think about it from another perspective, if we pass this healing method back, Your Highness, you will have made a great contribution!"An old man behind laughed softly.

"That's right, it's all for nothing, don't give it up for nothing! The young master smiled:"However, what interests me even more is Lin Beifan, the man who proposed this medical prescription!" It is said that he was the first number one scholar since the founding of the Dawu Kingdom to win three yuan in a row. He was highly valued by the empress at a young age, so he kept rising up the ranks, jumping several levels to become a sacrificial wine!"

"He invented the flying artifact, the large balloon, and the powerful water weapon, the hovercraft, which greatly enhanced Dawu's strength! Unexpectedly, he is actually a doctor, haha! Really interesting!"

"That young man is indeed remarkable! The old man next to him said with admiration:"I heard that he is less than 20 years old, but he is already very prosperous in the court!" His talent is also rare, he is especially good at reciting poems and composing lyrics. He has created many classic poems that have spread throughout the world! May be our strongest opponent in this Yanwu battle!"

"It should indeed be taken seriously, but no matter how strong he is, there is only one! The young master smiled:"The talents we sent this time are the best batch of talents since the founding of Dayan!" He will definitely come out on top in this literary battle! If they still can't do it, I still have it!"

Speaking of this, he stood upright proudly, with high spirits.

"What His Highness said is absolutely true! The old man said flatteringly:"Your Highness also has the talent of being the number one scholar!" If it weren't for his royal status, he would have been nominated for the top pick!"

The young man burst out laughing.

"Your Highness, this battle between Yan and Wu is a serious matter and there is no room for error! Should we contact Dawu's internal support in advance? This way we will have the opportunity to obtain relevant information about our opponents, and the chance of winning will be greater! The young master's face became serious:"

Who is that spy?""

"In fact, it’s... Dawu Festival Wine Lin Beifan!"

"It's actually him?"The young master was a little dumbfounded.

The young man he just praised was actually their insider. What kind of trouble is this!

"Mr. Wang, are you right? How could it be him?

The young man frowned:"As far as I know, Lin Beifan is very favored by the empress, so he has been promoted step by step and enjoyed endless glory and wealth!" Such a person with a bright future has no reason to betray Dawu. How could he be our insider?

The old man smiled bitterly:"Your Highness, it is indeed him!" Although the other party is very favored and has a bright future, he has one great characteristic, that is, he is greedy for money! Because of this, they were bribed by us!"

"Greedy for money? How greedy can he be?"The young master asked

"Your Highness, let me tell you this, he leaked the manufacturing method of these big balloons and hovercrafts to us! In order to buy the manufacturing methods of these two artifacts, our Dayan paid a total of 8 million taels, and he would not agree to missing one tael!"The old man said with some pain.

The young man took a breath:"8 million taels! So greedy!"

Even if he is a prince, his entire net worth combined is still less than 1/3 of the other party's.

"Moreover, it is said that while he was an official, he took advantage of his position to embezzle tens of millions of taels of silver! Even other ministers’ money was stolen by him! Really greedy!"

The young master took another breath of cold air:"And he was greedy for tens of millions of taels! After greedy for so much money, isn't he afraid of losing his head?"

"To be honest, I don’t know why he is so bold. Maybe he is relying on the favor of the empress! Everyone in the Dawu court is greedy, and they are all bad to the core! Your Highness, if we go to visit him and ask him for help, we may need to prepare some more money!"The old man said again.

The corners of the young master's mouth twitched:"Master Wang, I think it's better not to give it up! I don’t have that much money to satisfy his appetite! And this time the Yanwu battle doesn’t require much help from him!"

"What His Highness said is absolutely true!"

The two laughed and disappeared on the street.
