Chapter 124 Wu Wa and Yue Yan -5
"Sir, you also know that Ru Mao's blood drinking was done by barbarian warriors, we are all literati, this ......"
"What literati, martial artists," Long Tianguang got angry when he heard this, "Shinong industry and commerce, where is the civil and military division?" He squinted at these sad-faced students, and asked, "Don't say that those in Kansai are considered literati or martial artists in Kanto?" In his early years, he went to war in the wilderness, and I don't believe he hadn't eaten any of these things. ”
Long Tian Guanghu blushed, scooped up a big bowl of sheep blood soup, and drank it "whirring".
Zhu Baohan, Li Shuzhen and others looked at each other, and someone murmured: "Does Mr. Yuan Zhi also eat this thing?" ”
Although it has been a hundred years since the Kanto Bunbu Tour, most scholars still have the longing to enter the prime minister in their hearts. After Luoyang was annexed to the Xia Kingdom, Zhao Xingde was regarded as the pride of the Kwantung people, and he was a living legend in the eyes of the scholars. When the Zhuguo was first promoted, the Dongren Society was slightly agitated, and scholars like Zhu Baohan, who did not want to make progress, also rose up and walked the streets and alleys to cheer for Zhao Xingde. Therefore, Long Tianguang did not mention Zhao Xingde, and after mentioning these three words, several scholars actually began to gulp down the sheep blood soup. Because I thought, "Mr. Zhao is the same, I did this, but I did it to imitate the sages." Sheep blood and haggis flowed down the throat and into the stomach, and the psychological nausea of the people was not so strong, and then they felt a different kind of fresh flavor and stimulation.
The texture of the sheep's blood is delicate, mixed with dogwood, green onions, pepper and other seasonings, there is no fishy smell, but has a unique sweet taste. A gluttonous like Zhu Baohan, after letting go of his psychological baggage, he naturally tasted it, he couldn't finish putting down the small bowl, and pretended to be heroic: "I didn't expect raw sheep blood to be so delicious, Mr. Zhao is worthy of being the master who wrote "East China Sea Food Treasures". "The people who have done the thing of drinking blood with their hair will inevitably tear the tiger skin as a banner, and they will say yes one after another.
Someone sighed: "I can't imagine that fresh sheep blood is such a sweet taste." ”
"This is the blood of a lamb that has not been in heat in a year, and there is no bloody smell." Long Tianguang licked his lips and said with a smile, "Some guys in Anbei have a heavy taste, and they only drink the blood of the ram in estrus, and the smell is very strong, you will vomit when you drink it." He looked at the sentient beings and showed a disgusting look again, shook his head, and changed the topic, "Mr. Ben pointed out the way of agriculture and animal husbandry, and I don't know how many people in Kansai can't look forward to it." Don't be born in the midst of blessings and not know blessings. In the Great Xia, the system of granting land was practiced, and the shade households were governed by the sergeants, and the shaded households handed over 30% of the harvest to the sergeants. This way of agriculture and animal husbandry, whether you understand it or not, the gap between years and income is wide. If you really master this way of farming and animal husbandry, the number of shaders who have defected will soon exceed twenty. Whether it is a soldier or a shade household, if you want to increase your income, you must be offered as a living bodhisattva. ”
Long Tianguang invited these students to have a big meal, originally to strengthen their interest in learning agriculture and animal husbandry. In addition to the great future of the bachelor of agriculture and animal husbandry, he also occasionally told many interesting anecdotes about the north and south of the world. All the students listened with great interest. However, these young scholars, like Zhu Baohan, Li Shuzhen and others, are most curious, especially related to Zhao Xingde. After this day, there were rumors among the officials and scholars that the so-called "eating Hulu meat and drinking the blood of the Huns" was the true portrayal of Zhao Xingde during the battle in Hezhong and Liaodong.

In the gazebo of Zhaofu Garden, several ladies were chatting while knitting sweaters.
Both the Song and Xia kingdoms maintained the tradition of male ploughing and female weaving, but the women of the Song Kingdom often sat behind looms, and the Xia Kingdom was rich in wool, and when the women sat down, they would weave sweaters to pass the time, or to protect their families from the cold, or to sell them to supplement their families. After Luoyang returned to the Song Dynasty, knitting sweaters gradually became fashionable.
Li Ruoxue has lived in Xia Country for a long time, and when Zhao Xingde was away, the boudoir had nothing to do, and he was a master of this way. The doctor and wife of Luoyang official school made an appointment to ask for advice. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Ruoxue was inconvenient to have too much interaction with the male colleagues in the bachelor's mansion, and she came and went, and had a good relationship with these bachelor's wives. Most of these women are beautiful women, and once they are familiar with each other, they have nothing to talk about, and they can even say some private words that they dare not talk about outside
Outside the gazebo, the peonies are in full bloom, and the warm sunlight flows through the colors of the gazebo, casting colorful spots of light on Mrs. Zhao's body, as if draped in a colorful cloak for her, she sits on a wicker chair knitting a sweater, and a lazy cat curls up at her feet. Mrs. Meng looked at this tranquil picture, she really didn't know whether people were more beautiful than flowers, or flowers were more beautiful than people, and then thought of the rumors outside that General Zhao drank raw blood and ate human flesh, she couldn't help but have some strange feelings in her heart. Mrs. Meng was curious by nature, and holding her words in her stomach was even more painful than flatulence.
"Rumors outside...... Mrs. Meng hesitated for a moment, and asked cowardly: "Wouldn't the sergeant really want to drink blood and eat when he went to battle...... That, right? She lowered her voice very low, but almost instantly, the other three ladies in the pavilion slowed down for a moment, and everyone seemed to be paying no attention to it, but they listened to Mrs. Zhao's answer with great care.
"How can it be ....." Li Ruoxue was about to deny it, but suddenly stopped again, and her eyebrows wrinkled inadvertently.
Since the two got married, they have been getting together less and leaving more. When she thought about it, she knew too little about Zhao Xingde. She didn't know what Rong Ma's life was, the entanglements between him and the Science Society, and why he suddenly married the princess of Wu. When I think about it, apart from the fact that he was a perfect husband during the short days we were together, I knew him so well. Even those moral articles that are recited all over the world are just swept away in a hurry because of a lack of interest. There are too many blanks left in his memory. Thinking of this, Li Ruoxue's heart was as uncomfortable as a needle prick, and she looked at the spring garden in a daze.
"Mrs. Zhao? Mrs. Zhao? ”
Mrs. Liu Zhijiao was stunned when she saw her, glared at Mrs. Meng, and scolded secretly: "This long-tongued woman." ”
Mrs. Meng actually regretted it as soon as she said it, and at this time, her heart was weak, and she couldn't even care about fighting for face when she looked at the complaining eyes of several ladies, but only looked at Li Ruoxue with concern, hoping that she would not be stimulated by this. For these bachelor wives, Zhao Xingde's relationship with the eldest princess of the Song Kingdom is far less important than Li Ruoxue's friendship with the crown princess. The crown princess Zhang and Li Ruoxue sisters are commensurate, and there are even more faint rumors in the mansion that the crown princess's posthumous affair is the queen's support for the general's main room. Therefore, these bachelor ladies came to the General's Mansion when they had nothing to do, and they also had some thoughts of clinging, if Li Ruoxue was unhappy because of trivial matters, it would be too worthless.
"Mrs. Zhao? Mrs. Zhao? Are you okay? ”
Li Ruoxue woke up from her thoughts, she stretched out her hand and stroked her hair, and said with a smile: "Thousands of miles away, how can we women know clearly?" The garden was sunny and the flowers and trees were blooming, but her smile was a little cold.
"Yes," Mrs. Meng couldn't help but shudder, and said, "These beatings and killings ......"
Everyone tacitly avoided the topic and silently continued to knit sweaters. With the increasing influence of the Xia Kingdom, various Kansai customs are also subtly changing the lives of Luoyang people. Whether it's a man or a woman, everyone is trying to adapt to the big and small changes in life. The world is turbulent, and Luoyang can be regarded as a pure land.

Yangzhou Caoyun Wharf, the rivers and lakes will always spread all kinds of news.
In recent days, the most exciting news is that the merchant fleet has finally arrived in Quanzhou and joined the fleet of sailors led by the Marquis of Wuchang. Although the "great victory" of exterminating Daoyi was insufficient, it finally continued the myth of the invincibility of the Marquis of Wuchang. Those who bought the South China Sea bonds were inexplicably excited and rushed to tell each other.
"Girl, the South China Sea stock bills seem to have doubled."
Xiao Qi said with a smile while chewing on the pickle gang, he didn't hear the answer from the rear cabin, and deliberately raised his chopsticks to beckon, and said loudly, "If you don't farm the land, if you don't make any effort, thirty guan will become sixty guan." The stock coupons he bought for his sister doubled, Xiao Qi was happier than he had made a big lucrative deal, he was stupid for a while, and then asked over there, "This money is too easy to come by, it always makes people a little panicked, hey, do you want to sell the paper tickets?" ”
Although the sun is very good outside, the rear cabin is still a little dark, and only Xiao Siniang's skirt is seen through the door frame. She squatted on the side of the stove, holding a bowl and drinking porridge, listening to her brother talking loudly outside, and finally agreed: "The tickets are all my brother's, and my brother can sell them if he wants to." From the beginning, she didn't treat these stocks as her own.
"Hey, what nonsense, it's yours!" Xiao Qi was unhappy, put the dishes and chopsticks down, and yelled at the back cabin.
In the quarrel between the brother and sister, the idea of selling South China Sea stocks was stillborn. Xiao Qi thought that if this stock is not sold, the name of his sister will always be registered in the securities exchange, and once it is sold, the copper and silver will have no name. According to his sister's stubborn nature, he would definitely not want it, so he simply kept these shares and used them when his sister remarried or pensioned.
In the camp of the Guazhou Water Ferry Division, Zhao Huan had a smile on his face and listened to the maid Peony talking about things outside.
Peony was quick to speak, and the news was very clear: "The master of the horse won a big battle, the slaves and maids went out to inquire, and the people were praising everywhere, especially the South China Sea stocks in the political letter office, which were originally ten yuan, but now it costs twenty yuan to buy." For no reason, the merchant ships in the South China Sea did not make a single transaction, and the stock and securities doubled. Your Royal Highness Princess, do you think this is strange? She looked at Zhao Huan with wide eyes, and the surprise on her face was not fake.
"These people are really weird." Zhao Huan also pursed his lips and smiled.
"Yes," Peony is very smart and clever, she has been waiting here for a long time, and said with a smile, "The slave maid heard that all the people believe in the Horse Master, and believe that as long as the Horse Master leads the troops to fight, the Great Food Sea Kou will definitely be swept away, and the South China Sea caravan will also return with a full load." ”
"Really?" Zhao Huan smiled: "You girl, don't make up something that you don't have." ”
"It's true," Peony swore busily, and said, "People say that buying South China Sea coupons is to support the victory of the horse master." ”
