"Bastard thing, actually arrogant and domineering. This is the son of the Cangzhao family who is virtuous and famous? This is simply a robber. ”

Without waiting for Geng Xiangye to speak, the tall and thin old man who sat on the left side of the two great Confucians who accompanied Geng Nanzhong to be the VIP uncle first became angry and erupted.

The old man on the right was not left behind, and glared angrily and shouted: "Where is this robber." This is obviously not taking the prime minister of the dynasty in his eyes, and he does not take the court seriously. ”

Anyway, these two didn't lose their senses and directly shouted out that Cangzhao was going to openly rebel.

It's pitiful to say.

Although these two are famous Confucians in Beijing and may even be the most famous, they also fell into the kind of inferior waste characters who are useless to the country ignored by the imperial court during this period, if it were not for the fact that they had some friendship with Geng Nanzhong in the Shilin Singing Chorus in the past, and immediately after Geng Nanzhong became the prime minister, the relationship became closer, Geng Nanzhong deliberately took care of them as officials to take care of money and food to make a living, and the two families did not starve to death, but they had to make a living by participating in the menial work of participating in the demolition and relocation like other bankrupt rich people or something. In that case, there is no need to think about the wealth of the past, and even the dignity of the scholar and the decency of the Confucian family of poetry and rites cannot be preserved at all, how can there be a natural superior day.

But even if Geng Nanzhong takes care of them, how can a famous family like them with no official status have a decent life, but they just have food to eat and not die of hunger.

It is impossible for Geng Nanzhong to take care of it too much, otherwise it will anger the Manchu officials and offend the public, and even Geng Nanzhong himself will not have a good life, and he will not even be able to sit down......

Don't forget, this is not the previous Great Song Dynasty.

Now, the capital is in difficulty.

The limited money and food of the state treasury could not even take into account the white gloves of the wealthy businessmen raised by the dignitaries and nobles, so that the nobles had to show their ruthless faces in their bones, decisively abandon these heroes who had earned gold and silver for their families in the past, and barely live a leisurely life with a cold and indignant notoriety. If Geng Nanzhong gave favors to the country's tight money and food, and raised the non-official Confucianism who was useless to the imperial court to live a beautiful life, then he must not blow up the many high-ranking officials and nobles who disdain Geng Nanzhong.......

Therefore,

The two great Confucians didn't pay attention to the meat or anything in the past, and they couldn't touch it at all in the past few months, and how many high-ranking officials and nobles in Beijing were rarely able to eat meat, and they were only vain figures, and they were a hundred times more virtuous than those high-ranking officials and ministers in the court, and a thousand times more noble, but they had no actual power or actual status, and they still couldn't even smell the smell of meat in reality.

I haven't touched meat for a long time, and the two Confucians are as greedy as too many people in Beijing, and they are looking forward to eating a meal of meat in their dreams, no, just a few bites of meat to satisfy their hunger. But just this small goal can't be achieved, let alone make 100 million as a small goal and talk about the majestic thing of making 100 million first.

In fact, in other parts of the Song Kingdom, it is generally not easy to eat meat, but it is not difficult to the extent of the capital.

Before that, the capital was undoubtedly the richest and most luxurious place in the whole continent in the world, attracting people from all over the world to want to come here, and the population was naturally the most dense place in the world, and there was no one. The standard of living in the Gyeonggi area, whether it is the number of rich people and the quality of wealth, or the life of the general public, or the average wealth of all living beings, not counting the part of the Imperial Palace Ouchi that contains the treasures and wealth of the world, it is also absolutely second to none, but the bad luck is also bad luck in it.

Overpopulation inevitably leads to excessive resource consumption, and domestic garbage and other pollution are naturally the most serious areas, and in the long run, although there are many rivers in the Gyeonggi area, there are very few aquatic products in the Gyeonggi River section. This is not conducive to the growth and reproduction of fish, the outside is unwilling to swim to this poor water quality water environment, the local and born few can survive few, the life can grow up by the terrible fishing consumption every day year after year, it is almost clean, other rivers can be seen everywhere swimming fish or something, here is a rare sight, when swimming in the river want to see fish swimming in the painting, you have to have that luck. At the same time, there is much less wilderness in the Gyeonggi region than in other places, and it can be said that all the places where land can be cultivated have been reclaimed, squeezing out the growing population and leaving no wilderness space for wildlife to survive. Even the rare deep mountains and forests in the Gyeonggi region have been trampled by the swelling population, and the animals that hide and inhabit them have also suffered......

In other words, whether it is mountains and rivers, or rivers have been unconsciously but persistently destroyed and scourged, there is no way to survive the delicacies of mountains and waters, and there are very few wild animals in the entire Gyeonggi region, and it is only today that the people of Gyeonggi need to rely on preying on wild animals to finally show the evil consequences that humans have noticed.

In terms of protecting the environment and natural resources, the Han people, who were civilized and developed at this time, were not as good as the barbarians or even savages on the grassland in terms of overall consciousness.

The grassland savages also know to pay attention to the protection of grass roots and grassland water sources, for many species, such as mountain ginseng, medicinal herbs, do not grow and never pick, or this land is too little, pay attention to keep the seeds, keep them for many years to recover before coming back, in short, never pick up, do not overgraze in one place, never harm the water source. Lakes and rivers are sacred and inviolable places in the hearts of steppe people or savages, and even the gods dwell, and even going down to bathe must be solemnly sacrificed and prayed, or even altogether.

At the same time, the Han nation, on the whole, no matter which set it is, everything that can grow some grain has been reclaimed, everything that can be cut has been cut, and everything that can be picked and used has been removed....... There is no concept of environmental protection, and there is almost no awareness of protection. It's always after the scourge of lighting is extinct that I sigh and talk about the past, this ........

The two great Confucians in front of them have suffered the consequences of national nature that have harmed nature.

What excites them is that

This evening, Xiangye's friend Geng Nanzhong suddenly informed them that they were going to invite a big guest in Fanlou, and they had meat to eat.

These two suddenly came to the spirit, and I wish the whole family with the same gluttony came to take the opportunity to enjoy it, but unfortunately I can't, and I can't pull down that face, in the end, it is a great Confucian who knows honesty and shame to save face, although the core of Confucianism is a good word, but this great and righteous skin that teaches others to value righteousness and abandon profit always has to be draped.

The two of them could hardly hold back their saliva on the way here, and they were refreshed, and they seemed to be able to eat meat, but they couldn't eat it again, disappointed and angry, you can imagine. Their angry eyes were red, if it weren't for the decency of the Great Confucian, if it weren't for the fact that they couldn't do Zhao Yue without the strength of the chicken, I am afraid that they would personally raise their arms and beat them to teach them a lesson.......

When I was young, in order to compete for beauty, this kind of human flesh enjoyment was not without a mouth, but I couldn't say it or I couldn't enjoy it, so I simply rolled up my sleeves and did it.

What about the others here,

Most of them are the staff or confidants of the Prime Minister's Mansion, and the rest are some young Confucians in the capital who are not famous enough or Geng Nanzhong's students, plus two bodyguards and servants.

On the surface, these people are more decent and even proud, but they are also not related to the meat that can be obtained in the capital....... How can it be their turn to eat?

None of these people are vegetarians, and in the past, there may have been meat at will, but now when there is no meat to eat, they all become uniform meat eaters, and they are extremely greedy.

It's all the meat in their mouths, but it's all gone, and it's not snatched away, how can these people not be angry and red-eyed.

Besides, this is not only a loss of the right to eat meat, but also a loss of face authority, and how can they endure it when they follow Geng Nanzhong, who is in power, when they are arrogant. Naturally, the firepower is turned on, and the scolding is even more ugly, they are all cultural people, and there are many tricks of scolding. As soon as he opened his mouth, the more he scolded Sven, the more ugly it became.

The two adjacent rooms are separated by nothing more than a layer of wooden planks. The movement on Geng Nanzhong's side can clearly be transmitted to Zhao Yue's side.

Zhao Yue's five people succeeded in their calculations, they were eating happily and proudly, and when they heard the vicious scolding, the four generals couldn't help but be angry: "If you enter your mother's, you owe it to clean up.....

The Su brothers, who had the temper of the uncle, stood up suddenly, and their eyes were about to pass, and the two generals of the dragon and tiger also followed, but they were pressed by Zhao Yue, so they had to sit down with hatred.

The evil star Zhao Yue didn't move, and the momentum over there came up more and more, and he dared to scold more and more, and the literati's specialties gave full play to their power.

But it was only for a short time before it stopped.

Geng Nanzhong is worthy of being a prime minister, with bearing, elegance and self-cultivation, he never said a word, Zhu Shopkeeper still knelt in front of him and waited for him to speak, he saw that Zhao Yue did not react here, so he unfolded his wrinkled eyebrows, suppressed the boiling anger and hatred in his heart, and smiled peacefully: "Okay, don't worry about this kind of eating and drinking with a child who has entered Beijing." ”

He calmly smiled at the two Confucian gentlemen who caused a war of tongues: "Brother Gongcheng, Brother Gaonian, don't be like a naughty child, so as not to lose your identity." ”

The two Confucians, who are called Gongcheng and senior Confucians, worked hard to restrain their anger and killing, and they also nodded and smiled in the same way as they were elegant and gentle in the past: "What Geng Xiang said is true." ”

Geng Nanzhong looked at Zhu Fatzi again, and commanded calmly and indifferently with indescribable nobility and majesty: "The shopkeeper, you don't have to be embarrassed." Let them eat those things. After all, he is the son of a meritorious family who guards the border. How can we, who can sit in peace, quarrel with them over something to eat? It's too ungraceful to spread out, and it makes people laugh. ”

Shopkeeper Zhu nodded again and again, "Yes, what Xiangye said is true." You keep saying, villains understand. This thing is over, and there will be no aftermath. But in fact, even if it spreads, everyone will only praise Xiangye. Geng Xiangye is really a good person, and he is worthy of being the prime minister of the dynasty who holds the boat in his belly, but he is not ...... with other officials."

Geng Nanzhong smiled, "Okay, don't brag about it." Do you have any other good ideas here? Today is a heavy official business to get together to relax and relax, eat well, but for the food is unpleasant, isn't it lost the original intention? ”

The chicken of the shopkeeper Zhu pecked at the rice and nodded: "There is also a bit of meat, it is fried vegetables to add some oil and water fragrance, it is being done, and it will be fried soon, and it will come up." ”

It's also a shame that his fat head can be clicked to such a high frequency, which is simply a miracle of the human body.

The reason why he behaved so enthusiastically and deferentially was not because Geng Nanzhong was the respect of the Xiangye.

In his heart, like his master, he despised this kind of empty prime minister who lacked basic strength, and actually didn't take Geng Nanzhong in his eyes at all. But he can't stand it, Geng Nanzhong does have a certain amount of financial power in the treasury, and this big gang of people must be spending public money today. Public money, everyone understands...... The people who spend the flowers are not distressed, and Geng Nanzhong, a high-ranking official who is newly gaining power and is eager to show his authority, will be extraordinarily generous..... The hotel can slaughter a big one at once, but it won't anger Geng Nanzhong. On the contrary, the more you spend, the more you can bring out Geng Xiangye's current powerful and popular status in the court....... Is there a better guest in the world than this?

As for the awesome guests, when they heard that there was still meat to eat, the angry air in the room that was about to explode dropped a little.

After sending away the shopkeeper Zhu, Geng Nanzhong sighed lightly at the left and right of the people, and slowly sighed again: "Don't hide it from you, in fact, don't talk about meat, it is the dragon liver and phoenix gall fairy dew peach presented in front of the old man's eyes, and the old man is also tasteless, it is really difficult to swallow." ”

In the response and deliberate cooperation of everyone who heard the sound of the strings, Geng Nanzhong sighed again: "Now, there is no need to talk about the difficulties after the scourge of pirates. Everyone knows the difficulties of the country. Fortunately, this matter is over, and pirates who only want to make a fortune will no longer easily threaten and extort our dynasty, which is not rich. What makes it difficult for the old man to sleep and eat is the disaster of the Liao Barbarians that stands in the way of the present.

"The Alliance of the Yuan", our Great Song Dynasty is an advanced civilized country that stresses credibility and keeps promises, and our generation is a civilized gentleman who guards the Confucian and Mencian avenues and etiquette, and the existing covenant should be completed first, and it can't be a barbarian like a rebel. What should be given to others has to be given. Speaking of which, there are objective reasons and hardships for not delivering property to Liao in accordance with the covenant this year, but in the final analysis, it is indeed our fault, and it is our dynasty that has broken its promise. ”

Everyone understood what Geng Nanzhong wanted to say, and they all knew the fundamental purpose of coming here to eat and drink today, and they all nodded, "Yes, yes, what Xiangye said is." My generation ......"

Zhao Yue could hear it clearly, but there was still no response.

Geng Nanzhong noticed that there was no movement here, and then continued: "However, although it is my dynasty that is the first to break its trust and has to bear the main responsibility, the Liao State is also really strong and domineering and arrogant, bullying our dynasty is in trouble, the fierce appearance is exposed, the greed is open, the appetite is so big, it is so big that it scares people to death." ”

"After the Liao envoy Chigou'er came, he was rampant and domineering in our capital and even dared to openly kill innocents, treating the people and even officials of our dynasty as grass mustard, and treating the majesty of the law of our dynasty as nothing, and not saying anything, our dynasty suppressed and angered, maintained the necessary etiquette for exchanges between the two countries, received him according to the rules, and actively arranged for officials to negotiate with him, and the two sides negotiated to find a way to complete the covenant, but this barbarian general knew that our dynasty had no gold, silver and satin, and could not take out these things at all, but he insisted on biting to death first, and he had to ask for the 100,000 taels of silver according to the covenant. Thousands of brocades........ Otherwise, they will wave their troops south to rob Yunyun, and they will be tricked into making things difficult. The old man was ordered to preside over this matter, and when he saw that all the officials he sent could not complete the negotiation mission, no matter how high the rank and how talented they were, he put down his body and did not hesitate to break the rules of equal rank of negotiators, and personally came forward to talk to him with a mere general. The old man endured the humiliation and said that he would give up the gold, silver and silk, and persuade him to change the collection of grain, salt and other things that the Liao country lacked but our country did not lack, so that the covenant could be fulfilled, and both sides could be satisfied. However, this Si opened his mouth and asked for 10 million stone of grain, 5 million stone of potatoes, etc., which was not counted, and even more dared to say that he wanted me to cede the vast Shaanxi and Gansu territories north of Taiyuan and west of Hebei, including Cangzhou. ”

Bang!

Geng Nanzhong slapped the table with hatred and shouted angrily: "What is this? This is a shameless bandit, a bully to no one in my court, hateful and hateful! How could the old man agree? ”
