A few days ago.

Although Han Sui nominally led these Qiang people, he did not have direct jurisdiction, nor could he directly govern them, so these Qiang people lived scattered according to the tribe and did not concentrate in one place, after all, if they were all gathered together, I am afraid that even the grass roots on the ground would be dug out and eaten by large and small livestock in a few days.

A person's fame, no matter how prestigious and prestigious, will continue to decay over time.

Li Ru can't escape such a natural law, but now these Qiang people still remember some in their minds, so when Jiang Jian came out to show up under the banner of Li Ru, these Qiang people also gave a little more face......

Jiang Jian stood in front of the head of Baimaqiang, Riwuji, bowed his hand slightly, and bowed.

Although Jiang Yin's name is Ran, he doesn't look good at all, his body is slender and strong, and there is even a shallow dimple on the left side of his face, and he looks even more personable and graceful when he smiles.

Baimaqiang was called Bailongqiang at the earliest, the reason is very simple, just because Baimaqiang is nomadic in the waters near the Bailongjiang River, but because the name Bailong is inevitably a little against the Han Dynasty, after all, Liu Bang was the one who killed Bailong back then, so later, whether it was the Han Dynasty government or Baimaqiang himself, it was gradually changed to Baimaqiang, not because this Qiang and Gongsun Zhan have the same hobby, just playing with Baima......

Zhiwuji may have some Caucasian blood, curly hair, slightly brown, a high nose, slender eyebrows, and according to the concept of later generations, he can be regarded as a beautiful man, but according to the concept of the Han Dynasty, Zhiwuji is an ugly monster.

"Aha, I didn't expect there to be a character like you under the command of the white-clothed Li......" Hivorki laughed and said in a slightly weird voice, "...... I always thought there was only a ...... like General Niu."

Jiang Jian smiled and said, "The noble person is mistaken, General Niu does not belong to a certain lord...... What's more, there are too many shallow people like me under a certain lord, and I am only a messenger talent, not enough to worry about......"

Riwuki laughed twice, how could he not know that Niu Fu was Dong Zhuo's person, but he just used Niu Fu to talk about things, that is, even a character like Dong Zhuo had failed, what was the use of Li Ru coming forward now?

Jiang Jian is not a stupid person, and naturally he also knows what Riwuji means, so he separates Li Ru and Dong Zhuoche, and also said that in fact, the strength of Li Ru's subordinates is not weak, and even people like him can only be used as messengers......

Zhiwuki was noncommittal, and then asked in a wordy voice, "...... White-clothed Li ...... Hehe, can the white-clothed Li still be beautiful now? I haven't seen it in a long time......"

When Li Ru was in Dong Zhuo's place, he was also in Xiliang to fight in the east, and most of the time he was wearing a white dress, so he also had this title.

It's just that the white-clothed plum is just another name, and it is not a respectful way to call it here. After all, Dong Zhuo has fallen, and Li Ru, as his subordinate, naturally does not have much in the hearts of Ri Wuji and others, if it weren't for some of the previous things that he still remembers, Ri Wuji may not even be able to call Li in white.

"More nobles are concerned, a certain lord is now in good health, everything is fine......" Jiang Jian smiled as if he hadn't heard it, and said, "Some time ago, General Zhengxi also came to ask the lord of a certain family ......."

"Oh?" Zhiwuji frowned slightly, then laughed heartily and said, "Ahaha, look, the distinguished guest is here, and I will patronize and talk...... Haha, come on, prepare a banquet......"

After three rounds of drinking, Jiang Jian arched his hand and said: "Nobleman, I came this time to visit an old friend on the order of a certain lord...... These two are also talking about business......"

"Oh? Talking about business? Zhiwuki raised an eyebrow.

"That's right. Although a certain lord is now said to have no shortage of food and clothing, he also has to think about the future...... "Jiang Jian said slowly, "...... It's like the saying that if you hold a mountain of gold in your hand, you will still be empty when you sit and eat...... No matter what, you have to have some ways to get money, so that you won't be flustered in your heart, I don't know what the nobles think? ”

"Of course, of ......course," Ivory said with a smile, "I don't know what business Bai Yi Li wants to do?" ”

Business, who doesn't like it? Of course, only sweetness is called business, and if Baiyi Li wants to do business, he naturally wants those sweetness to come out, otherwise who would want to?

Jiang Jian clapped his hands, asked people to present the samples he brought, and said, "Please take a look." ”

A long box.

A round box.

Riwuji glanced at Jiang Yin, Jiang Jian smiled slightly, and stretched out his hand to signal.

Rivuki first opened the smaller round box, first with some doubts, and then with a face full of surprise, he immediately put the round box to his nose and sniffed it, and then involuntarily stretched out a finger, stuck some white crystal granular objects in the round box, and sent it straight to his mouth......

"Oh......" Zhivorki looked intoxicated.

If it were a person from later generations, Zhiwuji's current expression would be the same as those addicts who got that bite, and even the expression of satisfaction and joy on his face was no different.

But in fact, in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian did not have the raw materials to make the terrible artificial plague of later generations, and this box of white crystals was just a box of purified white sugar, well, it was white sugar, at least much whiter than the black sugar blocks common in the Han Dynasty......

Sugar is probably the first kind of nervous pleasure engraved in human genes. Although it is not a pure necessity, both men and women, young and old, like it very much, and even reveal a deep love from the bones. Even in the afterlife, it still takes a lot of willpower to resist the attraction of sweets.

When you eat sweets, dopamine neurons in the brain are activated, which then releases a chemical called opioids, which works similarly to morphine. When the brain feels the excitement of this substance, it will crave it more, so people will want to eat sweets again after eating them, just to enjoy the feeling of the moment.

From another point of view, human beings, in ancient times, were still primitive societies, or even earlier, but when Homo sapiens, because they did not master fire, they could not cook food, and there was a shortage of food, and there were very few high-calorie sweets that could provide energy for Homo sapiens, and it can be said that there were basically none.

At that time, the only common sugar was fructose produced when the fruit was ripe......

Therefore, in such a situation, whenever Homo sapiens searched for such plants and found these ripe fruits, the first choice was not to pick them and pack them and transport them to the tribe, but to obey the body's instinctive reaction and choose to eat them first. When you can't eat anymore, you will pick up the maximum amount you can bring back with you.

Because once the fruit is ripe, whether it is free to fall, or other birds and beasts, perhaps after he or she leaves, there will be no second chance to enjoy this natural sweet, for this kind of food that can provide high calories, but whenever you encounter it, you have to eat it immediately to eat the habit that you can't eat, so once or twice, deeply engraved into the DNA of human beings......

Ancient Homo sapiens would not have any obesity problems, nor would they have the consequences of eating too much sugar and causing poor health, because at that time, they needed to avoid the pursuit of large prey, and they had to make themselves run faster and more flexible, which required more calories; And relatively speaking, because of food shortage, there will not be a fixed type of food, but a variety of omnivorous, and there will be no health problems caused by unbalanced food and excessive calorie intake; At the same time, they need to constantly move in the process of survival, and if they are slow to move due to health problems such as obesity, then these people are destined to be abandoned by the tribe......

The living habits of modern people in later generations are destined to have problems with the health of modern people, because the living habits of modern people and ancient people are completely different, but DNA inheritance has not changed much, how can you not be obese and not have problems?

Resisting the thought of another bite, Živogee swallowed a mouthful of saliva and said, "Not bad, not bad! What kind of place is this, it is so exquisite...... "Although Fei Qian only purified it once or twice, mixed with the filtration process, which made the color of the sugar fade a little, but it is still some distance from the pure white sugar of later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, such crystals can already be regarded as quite attractive.

Jiang Jian smiled, and did not directly answer Riwuji's words, but sold the guanzi, and then said: "The noble man hasn't seen another one yet......

Hivorki was stunned for a moment, then laughed, gently put the round box aside, and then took the long box. knew that he was a little anxious, so Jiang Jian could see it, but there was no way to control it, so he could only suppress it on the second item and save some of it......

However, when Vorgi opened the long box, he still couldn't hold back and blurted out:

"Good knives!"

Under the sunshine, the blade is shining, and the forged lines are like auspicious clouds, all over the entire blade, flashing with dazzling brilliance.

"Do you want to try it?" Jiang Jian said with a steady face.

"Can you try?" Zhiwuji held the long knife, first praised it, and then said, "The knife is really a good knife, but it's too thin, don't cut it a few times and break it......"

Jiang Jian just stretched out his hand to signal, smiled and did not answer.

Ivoki rolled his eyes, but he was not angry, and beckoned to the guard standing on the side, and then asked him to pull out his waist knife......

The blades used by Riwuji's personal guards are naturally better than those of ordinary Qiang, and when the guards pulled out their knives, Riwuji was not polite, so he shook them with both hands and slashed them violently!

The symphony of gold and iron of the "bell" stretched unconsciously, and the ordinary war knife in the guard's hand had been broken into two, half of it was still in his hand, and the other half had fallen to the ground.

"Good knives!"

Rivuki couldn't help but shout, and then carefully looked at the edge of the war knife in his hand, and saw a small gap in the middle, and sighed, "Oops...... Knocked a little...... Good knife, really good knife......"

Zhiwuji held the long knife in his hand, and slashed left and right a few times, originally disgusted with a little weak, and the back of the knife was a little thin, but now it has become full of joy and has become an advantage.

Ten catties of war knives, the strength to chop a hundred times, and with an eight-pound war knife, you can cut out the number of more than a hundred times, this truth is naturally understood by Riwuji, but the reason why he used heavier knives before is just because heavy blades have some advantages after all, but this advantage is gone in the face of such a sharp sword.

"Nobleman, do you think these two businesses can be done?" Jiang Jian asked with a smile.

Zhiwuji brandished his knife and didn't answer immediately, his eyes rolled a few times before he said, "Good things, all good things, but if it's too expensive, we can't afford it......"

Jiang Jian laughed and said, "Don't worry, this price is naturally negotiable...... It's just that there is one thing that you may need to know first......"

"What's the matter?" Zhivorki asked.

"These things are all produced by General Zhengxi...... Jiang Jian pointed with his finger, and then said, "...... However, it is said that now the noble man is preparing to fight with the general Zhengxi? ”

“…… Who...... Who said? No? Zhivorki categorically denied it.

"Really?" Jiang Jian didn't chase after him, but said, "If you don't have it, if you don't have it, hehe...... The noble man asked a certain lord how he was doing now...... Hehe, I'm afraid that a certain lord is already drinking in the golden city at this moment......"

"Kaneshiro?!" Ivoki's heart jumped violently, and his eyes immediately widened.

Jincheng is Han Sui's lair, this matter is naturally clear and clear, I heard that Li Ru arrived in Jincheng, naturally it can't be like what Jiang Jian said, just go to Jincheng to drink, I'm afraid it's going to Han Sui's nest!

Ivoki suddenly stopped talking, his eyes gurgling from side to side.

"Ah...... Hehe......" After half a ring, Zhiwuji blinked, slightly embarrassed, and said, "Jincheng's wine is good, well, good...... White...... Well, your lord's choice is naturally good...... So, your lord is now ...... Defected to the general of Zhengxi? ”

"Isn't it all business...... Haha......" Jiang Jian said with a smile, "Everyone is a businessman...... It's like there's such a sweet frosting here, it's hard to really have to suffer every day? Even if you eat it by one person, you can't eat it for everyone, and if you eat it for a while, you can't eat it for a lifetime, right? How is it? Are you interested in this business? ”

Rivuki was stunned for a moment, then said with a smile: "That's right! Businessmen, everyone is a businessman! With a good business, you can't push it out, right? Hahaha......"
