"I don't know that Your Majesty is here, and I'm late to welcome you. Please forgive me!"

Just as Qin Shihuang was bored feeding the panda, a hurried footsteps came, and Chen Xu came out of the yard with a slight sweat on his forehead.

"It's okay, it's okay, the weather is clear today, I'm bored in my spare time, so I'll take Concubine Yun out for a trip and come to my beloved's house to take a look!" Qin Shihuang turned around and said with a smile.

"Spring is warm and flowers bloom, and the bells and grass grows. It is indeed a good time to go to the spring. The scenery outside the city is different from that inside the city. Your Majesty should go out for a trip!" Chen Xu bowed with a smile.

"You all disperse, I have something to say with the young master!" Qin Shihuang nodded and waved his hand.

"Here~" A group of Xuanwu Guards dispersed, and several servants responsible for taking care of giant pandas also left quickly. In an instant, only Chen Xu and the emperor were left in the panda garden.

Neither king nor minister spoke, but stood by the fence together watching the two giant pandas sitting inside and eating bamboo.

"I am very confused now..." Qin Shihuang spoke only after seven or eight minutes.

"I am actually very confused..." Chen Xu spoke after a long time of silence.

Then the two fell into a long silence again.

"Why are you confused?"

After eating the bamboo shoots, the two giant pandas squeezed in front of them again, stood up and stretched out their fat palms and hummed. Qin Shihuang bent down to pick up two bamboo shoots and handed Chen Xu one. The king and his ministers fed the giant pandas at the same time.

"I am confused because I don't know if what I'm doing right now?"

"It doesn't matter whether it is right or wrong. Just as my dear said in the court, as long as I have a clear conscience, I have done a very good job. If I have the help of my dear, the Qin Dynasty will inevitably be prosperous and prosperous in the future."

"This is my long-cherished wish!" Chen Xu nodded.

"This is also my long-cherished wish, but before I met my beloved, I was sleeping day and night. The old and young people in the six countries were dormant, and the students of a hundred families were bustling all day long. It was not until my beloved came to Xianyang that I helped me resolve these troubles one by one. But now I am frightened and restless. What is the world we live in? If we live on a big ball, where is this big ball hanging? The sun circling around the earth for no beginning and no end, are those ancient legends true or false? If it is true, the heaven and the earth are definitely not what we imagined. If it is false, where do those ancient legends come from..."

Qin Shihuang looked very confused, his eyes were also hollow, and his mood seemed to be as confused as he said.

"Your Majesty, I am just a wild man in the mountain village. Before I got the dream of Taiyi Immortal Lord, I have never traveled far away. I don't know what this world looks like. I work every day just to make a meal to fill my stomach. But after reading the book of heaven, I realized that this world is different from what anyone imagined. I was confused for a long time and was even at a loss, but looking at the shaking thatched hut at home, watching the day when I worked, I still couldn't eat or cover my stomach.

My mother and younger sister later gradually figured it out. No matter what the world looks like, we must first solve the problem of survival such as food, clothing, accommodation, etc. If people do not have a long-term plan, they will have immediate worries. I slowly solved the immediate worries of eating, clothing, accommodation, etc., and naturally began to think about the future, because the world is like my family. People who are not well-fed or warm are not warm, and there is no place to support the elderly and have no support. So, they are said to be poor and care for the whole world. Therefore, they slowly wake up from their confusion.

The Immortal Lord gave me the heavenly book, definitely not to let me watch those incredible items and seek enjoyment by myself, but to help all the hungry and suffering people in the world. Your Majesty is the co-lord of the world. Only by assisting Your Majesty can I complete the Immortal Lord's instructions. However, since I came to Xianyang, many things are not the same as my ministers thought. A hundred disciples were bustling with each other, and the court was also in trouble. From the court to the people, no one seemed to be able to see the grim form of the Qin Dynasty, and it was impossible to find it.

As for any solution, or they are fighting for their own interests, they have never paid attention to the lives and death of the people in the world, and they are still continuing the strategies of a hundred years ago day after day. Isn’t it a silence to think that the foolish people think that profit is not to hide their bells? Today’s Qin requires drastic changes, and reforming the old and the new can truly prosper. It is naturally not easy to reform the old and the old. I am also mentally prepared, but what kind of change is needed to achieve the Immortal Lord’s instructions for me? I am very confused..."

The king and his minister fell into silence again.

And this time, the silence lasted longer.

Because what Chen Xu said was completely wrong with what Qin Shihuang wanted to know.

"Your Majesty wants to know what this world looks like? Maybe you also want to know whether there are any gods in this world, but in fact, these are not very meaningful to Your Majesty, even to me, because no matter what the world looks like, as the emperor who ruled China, your Majesty needs to make the people eat and wear well and try to pass on my Chinese civilization. This is the responsibility of the emperor. What I need to do now is to constantly find content from the three heavenly books that can help Your Majesty and assist Your Majesty in making my China a

A prosperous and prosperous country cannot make our Chinese people become slaves to Western countries in the future. The immortals are cut off and there is no trace to be found. It is an illusory thing to seek immortality. Your Majesty’s immediate worries are the hard-working people and the turbulent people in the country. But long-term concerns are threats to the Western countries. As long as I, the Qin Dynasty, continue to accumulate strength and continue to advance in all directions, one day, the whole world will be displayed in front of Your Majesty. When my Qin Dynasty dragon flag searches every piece of land on the globe, Your Majesty’s confusion may be solved!”

"What I'm saying is very true. It seems that what I'm not looking at is long-term enough!"

Qin Shihuang finally breathed a long sigh.

"Your Majesty, I have made a delicacy a few days ago. Today I can ask Your Majesty to taste it. It is important to govern the world, but what I actually want to do is to taste the delicious food in the world. And making this delicious spice actually comes from the West!"

Chen Xu seemed to have already realized something when he saw that Qin Shihuang had already realized something, so Huatou changed into a relaxed topic.

"Is it the black pepper steak?" Qin Shihuang's eyes lit up.

"Haha, it is precisely because the product used to make this delicious dish is called black pepper. It was obtained by Jiang Hu and Li Xin from the Hun nobles. Because they learned that I was collecting various fruit and grain varieties for cultivation, they specially sent it. Unexpectedly, it was an extremely precious spice recorded in the Book of Heaven. I arranged for someone to open a farmland for trial planting. The rest were verified for steaks. Unexpectedly, it was indeed extremely delicious. However, the amount of black pepper was too small, so I did not specially send it to the palace for the imperial chef to cook for His Majesty. Today, I personally cooked for His Majesty to make it for His Majesty. After tasting it, I can also learn about the differences between Western products and my Central Plains products. Your Majesty please~"

"Haha, okay, I heard that recently it is rumored that my dear friends are famous for eating. Today I want to taste the Western delicacies made by the Qin Dynasty~" Qin Shihuang held Chen Xu's hand and laughed happily, and the confusion accumulated over the three days seemed to be instantly wiped out.

An hour later, Chen Xu took Ying Shiman and Meng Wan to send Qin Shihuang and Concubine Yun out of the Qinghe Villa. After watching thousands of imperial guards and Xuanwu Guards escorting the emperor's carriage away, the flags disappeared from the Wei River several miles away, he breathed a sigh of relief and turned around with his wives, one big and one small.

The deliciousness of the black pepper steak is beyond doubt.

Chen Xu cooked in person, and the emperor naturally praised him after tasting it. He ate two pieces in one breath, and Concubine Yun also ate one. Chen Xu brought Ying Shiman and Meng Wanzuo to accompany him to eat one piece.

After eating, he looked at the emperor's unsatisfactory look, Chen Xu had to even out a pound of the remaining pepper and wrote in detail how to make this black pepper steak and gave it to the emperor to bring it back to the palace.

Pepper is not produced in the Western Regions, and you can only go to India. Even if there are Hu merchants traveling to India in the Western Regions, it is impossible to buy in large quantities.

Because this thing is wild in India and the yield is not high. Moreover, India is now more barren and barbaric than the Qin Dynasty. Tigers, lions, elephants, poisonous snakes are everywhere in the mountains. Even if the nobles want to enjoy it, they will be exchanged for their lives. The price is comparable to gold. Therefore, even if merchants are arranged to go to the Western Regions, gold may not be available. Moreover, if the caravan goes there, meat buns and dogs will never be returned. The countries in the Western Regions are all Qiang, Rong, Hu, and Man, and they are all Xia and Shang ancestors who were driven out by the Central Plains before. They are full of hatred and hostility towards the people in the Central Plains, and like the Huns, they have always been eyeing the Central Plains. They are just taking the power of the Qin Dynasty and dare not attack openly, but killing a few merchants will not have any psychological burden.

But after thinking that after eating this black pepper steak, Qin Shihuang would be more interested in Western affairs.

What's more, Chen Xu invited more than ten people to start a steak party a few days ago. In recent days, this black pepper steak has become a mysterious synonym in the banquet of Kings, Housing Gongqing in Xianyang. People who have eaten it will saliva when they talk about it, but those who have never eaten it are eager to taste it, but they can't eat it.

Many people in Xianyang are already looking for black pepper, especially in the market where some Hu merchants interact. No matter who they can get black pepper, they can exchange it with gold in an equivalent manner. Therefore, this news has stimulated many merchants howling, and privately hype black pepper to the point of being a fairy-family item.

Because Chen Xu discovered this kind of pepper, there were very few people who could eat it, and I heard that the emperor had never eaten it.

Qin Shihuang knew about black pepper steak, so he naturally knew from the mouths of Li Xin, Jiang Hu and others.

After tasting it at Qinghe Villa that day, Li Xin, Jiang Hu and others were completely conquered by this delicacy. Not only did they promote it proudly in the court, but they even sent monks to the Northwest Military Camp to search for the spoils of the Huns to see if they could find one or two bags.

It was just a delicious dish, and Qin Shihuang didn't care much. He was not an emperor who was greedy for his appetite. If Chen Xu didn't give it to him, he wouldn't blame him, because the various delicacies invented by Chen Xu had given the palace's imperial chefs enough to display their talents. Fry, cook, fried, stewed and cooked every day, which was enough for him to eat every day.

But since he tasted it, he still couldn't let go of this delicacy, so he looked at Chen Xu with affectionateness after eating, and Chen Xu could only give the emperor a pound with heartache.

It’s not that I don’t love Your Majesty, but that there are too few things.

Eat a little less, and this thing is hard to come by before conquering the countries in the Western Regions.

You can't encourage the emperor to arrange tens of thousands of troops to fight with Yuezhi for a few kilograms of pepper.

You should know that Yuezhi didn't produce this thing. The labor force mobilized tens of thousands of troops to fight for life and death. I wonder how many Qin soldiers died on the battlefield. Not only did they not deserve the loss, but they also lost their character.

You should know that every pepper that you eat is covered with the blood of the Huns and the Qin soldiers.

It was exchanged for the lives of tens of thousands of people.

Chen Xu's position among the people of Xianyang is very special.

He is not the prime minister, but he already has the name of the prime minister. Moreover, the emperor specially gave him a purple ribbon. He is indeed at the level of the Shangqing, and even more respectful than the three Shangqings including Li Si. He is loaded with a halo of a young master and can also go to court to discuss politics with his sword. It can be said that the emperor's favor to him is unprecedented and has no future.

Moreover, Chen Xu loves food and is also very particular about food production. The various foods he made have begun to spread all over the world. A few days ago, Li Xin loaded Chen Xu with the name of "Eating Photos". In just a few days, this title has become a household name in Xianyang and has begun to spread with business travel from south to north. It is estimated that in just a long time, the title of "Eating Photos of the Qin Dynasty" will be spread all over the world.
