My subjects are too rebellious!

"However, friction and fighting are inevitable between heroes. When that happens, I hope you can become a mediator between them, resolve the conflict, and maintain the stability of that continent."

But Qin Chuan's words did not end. He changed the subject and said in a heavier tone: "However, if the situation develops to an irreconcilable point, I also hope that you can be prepared."

"If necessary, you can take over. Whether it's Cao Cao or Zhu Di, if anyone endangers the fundamental interests of the Wu Dynasty, you have the right, responsibility, and ability to stop them."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Chen Qianzhi's heart.

He clenched his teeth, his eyes flashing with determination, bowed deeply to Qin Chuan, and said in a deep voice: "Your Majesty, rest assured, I will live up to your trust. No matter how difficult the road ahead is, I will swear to protect the foundation of the Wu Dynasty!"

A gentle smile appeared on Qin Chuan's face, as if he could foresee the prosperity of that distant land in the future.

He patted Chen Qingzhi's shoulder gently and continued:

"Qingzhi, the land of South America has a suitable climate and is indeed a good place to raise cattle. The people of Wu Dynasty love to eat beef, and beef is also one of the important military supplies of our army. Therefore, raising more cattle and sending them back to Wu Dynasty can not only meet the needs of the people, but also enhance the combat effectiveness of our army."

When Chen Qingzhi heard this, he was completely stunned.

Did the people of the Wu Dynasty love to eat beef?

Can ordinary people eat beef?

If you slaughter oxen at will, you will be thrown into prison...

Therefore, I am afraid that ordinary people have never even tasted beef.

How can we talk about military supplies?

But Chen Qianzhi is neither a straight man nor a fool.

He didn't dare say that.

Qin Chuan continued, "Raising cattle is not easy, especially in a foreign country. You must pay attention to the hygiene and health of the cattle to prevent the occurrence and spread of diseases. You must pay attention to this."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhi nodded solemnly and assured Qin Chuan: "Your Majesty, rest assured. I will do my best to live up to your trust!"

Finally, Qin Chuan took a deep breath, as if he had made a huge decision.

"Qingzhi, you are not going alone in South America. I will fully support you."

"I promise to relocate two million people for you. They will become the foundation of your new country. At the same time, there will be two million laborers who will help you build your homes and reclaim wasteland. In addition, one hundred thousand craftsmen will also accompany you."

Speaking of this, a sharp light flashed in Qin Chuan's eyes.

He continued, "As for the 100,000 white robe soldiers, you can take them with you as well."

After hearing the last part, Chen Qingzhi stood up excitedly and said in a trembling voice: "Your Majesty's kindness, I will never forget it! I will live up to your trust and establish a powerful vassal state based in South America to expand the territory for the Wu Dynasty and enhance our national prestige! I swear to be loyal to Your Majesty until death and to protect the foundation of the Wu Dynasty until death!"

Chen Qingzhi obtained the promise of Qinchuan, and this number was twice as many as that of Zhu Di and Cao Cao.

He is satisfied.

After all, the growth in population cannot be reversed in less than ten years.

And so, the two continued to discuss some details in the study.

Every detail was repeatedly scrutinized by them, striving for perfection.

However, time passed quietly and before we knew it, it was lunchtime.

Zhang Rang's voice rang out from outside the study. With a hint of respect and caution, he reported in a low voice: "Your Majesty, it's time for lunch."

Hearing this, Qin Chuan looked out the window and saw that the sun was already high in the sky. It was indeed time for dinner.

He smiled slightly and said to Chen Qingzhi: "I actually forgot the time, haha."

Chen Qianzhi originally wanted to take the opportunity to resign so that he could go back and prepare for the many matters before his upcoming journey.

However, Qin Chuan seemed to see through his thoughts. He grabbed his hand and said in a tone that did not allow for refusal.

"Qingzhi, don't be in such a hurry to leave today. Come and have dinner with me."

Seeing this, although Chen Qingzhi had many things to do in his mind, he could not refuse the invitation from the emperor.

So he nodded and agreed: "As ordered, Your Majesty, I will have dinner with Your Majesty."

Afterwards, the two walked out of the study, passed through the corridor of the palace, and came to an elegant restaurant in the backyard.

When Chen Qingzhi stepped into the backyard restaurant, his eyes were immediately attracted by the large copper pot on the table.

The pot was round, and inside it, the red soup was bubbling and gurgling.

The carefully sliced ​​lamb and beef were neatly stacked on a plate on the side, and the bright red color made them even more tempting.

Each piece is as thin as a cicada's wing, with clear texture.

And his eyes unconsciously swept to the various vegetables and seafood beside him.

Verdant vegetables, round mushrooms, and colorful seafood.

Qin Chuan pointed to the steaming copper pot on the table and introduced it to Chen Qingzhi: "This is called hot pot. Look, what is boiling in the pot is a special base material made from a variety of spices and chilies. It warms the body and stimulates the appetite."

As he spoke, he gently stirred the red soup in the pot with chopsticks. The pot made a gurgling sound and hot steam rose instantly.

"These sliced ​​mutton and beef are all selected high-quality meat, as thin as a cicada's wing. Just a light dip in the red soup will absorb the essence of the soup and become tender and delicious."

"And over there," Qin Chuan pointed to the vegetables, mushrooms and seafood on the side, "These are all perfect companions for hot pot. The freshness of the vegetables, the deliciousness of the mushrooms, and the richness of the seafood, every bite is full of layers of flavor."

"Come on, Qingzhi, let's try this hot pot together."

"You can choose ingredients according to your taste, put them in the pot to cook, and then dip them in special sauces. The taste will definitely make you unforgettable."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhi sat down with Qin Chuan, and then started eating according to what Qin Chuan said. After taking a bite, his taste buds exploded instantly.

This feeling is truly unforgettable in this life.

He unconsciously memorized every step in his mind so that he could do it himself after arriving in South America.

This can be considered as adding a new hobby to myself, right?

"Qingzhi, do you know that although this hot pot looks simple, it actually contains profound historical and cultural heritage?" Qin Chuan gently stirred the ingredients in the pot with chopsticks, his eyes flashing with memories.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qingzhi raised his head curiously and listened attentively: "I would like to hear the details, Your Majesty."

Qin Chuan smiled slightly and continued, "The origin of hot pot can be traced back to the ancient custom of people eating around the stove. At that time, in order to resist the severe cold, people would light a fire on a cold winter day and put various ingredients into the pot to cook together, which was both convenient and warm. This is the original form of hot pot."

“In our Wu Dynasty, hot pot has developed to a new level. Not only is the preparation of the soup base more sophisticated, but the types of ingredients are also more diverse.”

Qin Chuan paused here, looking at the boiling soup and colorful ingredients in the pot, his eyes full of emotion: "People sitting together, eating hot pot, chatting about topics from all over the world, is irreplaceable by any food."

Chen Qingzhi listened with great interest, and then said to Qin Chuan: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your advice. I will definitely bring this hot pot with me when I go to South America."
