Chapter 122 Lin'an talks about old friends

Lin'an City, Qunying Restaurant.

This is the best private room upstairs, the people of Huayue were plotting here, for which Huo Chongcheng also made some money, but the matter has changed, and the conspirators here are either dead or chased or returned to their hometowns to avoid trouble. And the protagonist Zhao and Ju they plotted to assassinate - Zhao Guicheng are now feasting here.

"Sir, the dishes here are unique in the line, I don't know if they fit Mr.'s taste."

In front of Zheng Qingzhi, Zhao Youju was always very respectful, he personally poured wine for Zheng Qingzhi, and then pointed to the wine bottle and said: "This kind of wine, for overseas, has a unique flavor, but it is more mellow than our Great Song Dynasty wine." Students are not allowed to drink, only a glass of toast to Mr. ”

Hearing him sincerely, Zheng Qingzhi smiled and said, "You don't like to drink, that's excellent, one cup is enough." ”

The glass wine glasses used by the two of them are specially made by Liuqiu, and in the "Heroes Club" restaurant, there are only a few sets. In a crystal clear glass, there is a pure and impurity-free wine, and the mellow aroma is already very moving before the wine is even tasted.

Zheng Qingzhi took a sip of wine, he had tasted this kind of liquor before, and he had an experience, so he didn't dare to drink it in a big gulp. After the feeling of burning through his throat, he sighed softly and exhaled the breath of wine.

"In the past, the emperor ordered Yi Di to make wine and beauty, enter Yu, drink and be willing, and then Shu Yi Di, the wine will not be drunk, and said: 'In the future, there will be those who will die in their country with wine.'" When today's Zi Xiande, every time he walks in the forbidden garden, he will order the two inner bells to hold the screen, a book 'less food and wine, afraid of vomiting', and a book 'less food and cold, afraid of pain', the heir is in a noble position, and the two should be taken as a reference. ”

Zheng Qing put a cup into his stomach, and the scholar's anger came up, he looked at his disciple, his heart was extremely happy, and he spoke.

Zhao and Ju Cheng stood up and saluted respectfully: "Be taught." ”

"Although the heir is not talented, he is tireless in learning, good at accepting people's words, and has a bright monarch atmosphere, if the big thing is successful, he will be able to surpass the ......" Zheng Qing thought in his heart, but immediately put this idea away, and said with a smile: "This wine vessel is exquisite, and the wine is pure, but where it comes from, does the heir ever know?" ”

"I heard Huo Guangliang say that it was from Liuqiu." Zhao and Ju Dao.

"Does the heir know where Liuqiu is?" Zheng Qingzhi asked.

Zhao Youju raised his eyes, looked at Zheng Qingzhi, and was silent, Zheng Qingzhi was used to his appearance, and when he stared so intently without speaking, he was asking for advice. He smiled a little proudly, because he studied under Lu Zuqian, he is quite a historian, so he can easily come up with some allusions.

According to the Biography of Sun Quan in the Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms, in the second year of Huanglong, Sun Quan sent Wei Wen into the sea and arrived in Yizhou. This Yizhou is what the people are asking for today. Zheng Qingyi said while picking up vegetables: "Sun Quan is so happy, faint and rigid, so he is isolated in Eastern Wu, never an inch of land in the Central Plains, and he is short-sighted. Those who will govern in future generations should not be careless! ”

When he spoke, he seemed to be moved, Zhao Heju lowered his eyebrows and listened, but his heart moved, Zheng Qingzhi definitely had something else to mean by these words.

He is using his status as a professor of Yiwangfu to exert influence on his heirs and express his views and attitudes towards the current situation and government affairs.

"Heir, this perch is good, and the heir also moves chopsticks." After Zheng Qingzhi made a discussion, he began to persuade the dishes again, Zhao Heju smiled slightly, his expression was still the same as before, Zheng Qingzhi didn't know what he had just said, whether he had listened to it.

The reason why Zheng Qingzhi has such remarks is related to the recent dispute in the court, that is, to contact Mongolia to attack the Jin State.

Since the 14th year of Jiading, Mongolia and the Great Song Dynasty envoys, the call for contacting Mongolia to attack the Jin State has never stopped, and the momentum has become a faction of its own in the court. Zheng Qingzhi was skeptical about this, he always felt that the Jin country was weak and Mongolia was strong, and it was the front door to drive the wolf and the back door to welcome the tiger, which was not done by a wise man. It's just that he is humble and light-hearted, and there is little room for comment on this matter, so he took the opportunity of Zhao Heju to invite him to the "Heroes Club" to drink, and poured the blocks in his heart with other people's wine glasses.

There is also a purpose, that is, from now on, we must teach Zhao and Ju some strategies for being kings.

The two of them drank three rounds, and after a while, the guard outside came to report, saying that Huo Chongcheng, the owner of the restaurant, asked to see him. Zheng Qingzhi also knew that Huo Chongcheng and Zhao and Ju were originally fellow villagers, and Zhao and Ju had a good relationship with him, so he didn't care. Whether it is Zheng Qingzhi or Shi Miyuan, when they learned that Huo Chongcheng, who had done great things back then, was now just the owner of a restaurant, doing some businessmen's things, they despised him a little, and they thought that a businessman could have much knowledge, and it was impossible to interfere in court politics, so he didn't pay too much attention to the interaction between the two.

What's more, Zhao and Ju were extremely cautious, and when they were dealing with Huo Chongcheng, Zheng Qingzhi was often present. He understood that Zheng Qingzhi had won Shi Miyuan's trust, and Shi Miyuan would inevitably ask Zheng Qingzhi about his relationship with Huo Chongcheng.

"Guangliang, Mr. Zheng said that Liuqiu was Yizhou during the Three Kingdoms, and since your wine is self-sought, you must know this place."

After Huo Chongcheng saw the ceremony, he lowered his hands and laughed, Zheng Qingzhi liked that he was heroic and had no ordinary philistine atmosphere, so he also beckoned him to sit down and add a pair of chopsticks. Huo Chongcheng didn't dare to be rude, he just smiled and excused himself, but ordered the kitchen to serve two more dishes. After some cold noise, Zhao Youju asked him.

This is to inquire about the current situation in front of Zheng Qingzhi, but Zheng Qingzhi will not be suspicious at all. Huo Chongcheng glanced at Zheng Qingyi, and then said with a smile: "The villain has never read any books, so naturally he doesn't know the allusions that Professor Zheng said, but the villain's wine begging vessels were received from a merchant in Qingyuan Mansion, and the merchant is now meeting guests in the villain's restaurant. ”

Zhao Youju's heart jumped, he didn't expect these guys to be so bold that they would send someone to Lin'an. When he came to the Heroes Club this time, he originally wanted to find out some of Liuqiu's current situation from Huo Chongcheng and send his secret letter at the same time, but now it seems that he has the opportunity to know more detailed information about Liuqiu.

"Come, please, the merchant." Zheng Qingzhi saw that Zhao and Ju were silent, and he was also extremely curious about Liuqiu, so he said.

It didn't take long for a person to come in, the man was very young, but in his early twenties, with a slight beard, after he came in, he bowed deeply to the two: "The villain has seen two honored guests. ”

Zheng Qingzhi saw that he was very polite, and only said in his heart that Huo Chongcheng told him the identity of the two people, one of them was the heir of the prince, and the other was a professor of Guozijian. Therefore, he was not surprised, but he looked up and down at this person's clothes and found that it was no different from the Song people, so he asked: "Please ask Your Excellency to honor your name." ”

"The villain's surname is Wang, his name is Yu, and the word jade is cut." The man's expression was always smiling, and when he replied to Zheng Qing's words, his eyes kept turning.

Seeing that his expression was a little frivolous, Zheng Qing's heart was displeased: "Are you a Song person or a Liuqiu person?" ”

"The villain is naturally a person from the Great Song Dynasty, but he just knows some businessmen." Wang Yu gave up again.

Zheng Qingzhi groaned slightly, if he only knew about the Liuqiu businessman, then the situation about the Liuqiu should be just hearsay, even if he asked, he couldn't ask anything famous. That Wang Yu is very good at observing words and feelings, seeing him like this, he hugged his fists and smiled: "The villain has a floating nature, and has a wide mouth, likes to ask questions from east to west, but knows some things about the flow, I heard that Huo Dongjia said that the two are nobles, so Mao recommended himself, and was willing to talk about this situation for the two nobles." ”

Zhao and Ju nodded slightly, this Wang Yu, originally from the fourth phase of Yixue, has been following Meng Xisheng all these years, he is lively by nature, and likes all kinds of things, he is generally stationed in the country of Wa, strictly speaking, he has not seen Zhao and Ju for three years. It is precisely for this reason that his eyes keep rolling on Zhao Heju, he is also an extremely sensitive person, knowing that his own appearance can't be hidden, so he simply doesn't hide it.

"The people of the countryside have never seen the world, and when they hear that they are nobles, they keep staring at them." Zheng Qingzhi snorted slightly, and thought to himself: "Anyway, I'm idle, listen to him, if it's all bluff, I'll drive him away." ”

"Let's talk about the customs and customs, how it is different from my Great Song Dynasty." Zheng Qing's way.

Wang Yu arched his hand when he heard this, and said with a smile: "As the saying goes, ten miles are not customary, and there are some differences between that flow and my Great Song Dynasty." ”

He picked up some of the folk customs of Liuqiu over the years, because the Liuqiu immigrants came from all over the Song and Jin dynasties, and many customs were mixed with each other, so it seemed to have a unique taste. In addition, his words are witty and funny, and he is not the kind of vulgar and unbearable, these words made Zheng Qingzhi have a great impression of him.

"In this way, the people who want to recruit the people of Jingdong and Huai, and I have the people of the Great Song Dynasty living here?" Zheng Qingzhi learned from Wang Yu's words that the land was vast and sparsely populated, so he bought manpower in Yanyun, Shandong, and in a few years, it changed from an obscure overseas island to the land of Minfeng City, and couldn't help sighing: "I also heard about it, if I wasn't forced to be helpless, how could these people be willing to leave their hometowns!" ”

Hearing Zheng Qingzhi say this, Wang Yu just smiled and didn't make any comments. He also talked about the scenery of Liuqiu, the typhoons that must come every year and the occasional earthquake, Zheng Qingyi asked while listening, and before he knew it, an hour had passed.

"Asking the lord of the country to be lenient to the natives, admit their children to school, and give them food and clothing, it is indeed a long-term solution, and it is really a generation of British lords." Hearing how to assimilate the natives, Zheng Qingzhi immediately understood the meaning behind it, and Zhengse said to Zhao Heju: "Within ten steps, there will be fragrant grass, ten rooms, there must be loyalty, overseas islands, and so heavy learning, my Great Song Dynasty must see the sages and think." ”

Zhao Heju nodded again and again, but he said yes, but he was a little funny in his heart, these strategies were originally set by him, Zheng Qingzhi was afraid that he would not think of it even if he racked his brains, and the lord of the country he praised was in front of him.

"It's just that recently, there has been a lot of controversy over the opening of the port." Wang Yu saw that the time was ripe, so he smiled and said: "The two of you don't know, they are far overseas, and they can only rely on boats to trade with other countries. A few months earlier, my great Song Dynasty Quanzhou maritime merchant, named Pu Kaizong, sailed across the sea to Liuqiu, and the lord of Liuqiu admired China, and after hearing Pu Kaizong's words, he wanted to open the port and allow my Great Song Dynasty sea ships to enter the port to supply trade. ”

"This is a good thing, when sea vessels enter the port for trade, they can set up a city to collect national taxes, why is there a dispute?" Zheng Qingzhi said strangely.

"Without it, it is difficult to leave the homeland, and those people from the Central Plains who have moved here want to move back to Middle-earth. It's just that they have learned the art of making on the island, and if they are allowed to return to their hometown, this stream of fine wine will no longer be sought for exclusiveness. The reason Wang Yu said was very consistent with Zheng Qingzhi's identity as a businessman. Hearing this, Zheng Qingzhi shook his head and said to Zhao Heju with a smile: "The prime minister of the dynasty, Lu Laigong, once said to Taizong that the key to governing the country is to repair political affairs internally, and people from afar will return and be quiet. Although the lord of the country is a British lord, after all, he lives in a remote corner, and the utensils are still too small. ”

Wang Yu raised his eyebrows, and was about to refute, but Zhao Heju glanced up and swallowed back the words that came to his lips, but there was a sneer on his lips. Seeing Zheng Qingzhi turn around again, the sneer on his lips disappeared.

Zheng Qingzhi said a few more words to him, and when he heard Wang Yu say something about the begging again, he sent him away. Looking at the dishes on the table again, it was already cold.

"The wine and vegetables are cold, and the students call Guangliang to heat it up again." Zhao Youju smiled

This made Zheng Qingzhi laugh: "Heir, I have heard of overseas anecdotes today, and I have exhausted my fun, although the wine and food of the group of heroes are good, it is just a desire to fill my stomach, it is better to go back, it is better to go back!" ”

Soon after the two of them left the Heroes Association, Wang Yu also said goodbye to Huo Chongcheng, because he was wearing the hat of a businessman, so he was not in a hurry to leave Lin'an City, but wandered around in the royal street and other prosperous places, and after three rounds and two rounds, he arrived at Caojia Garden Lane, he rode a donkey at home, so he did not feel tired.

After passing Caojia Garden Lane, Wang Yu looked left and right, and saw that there was an inn, so he led the donkey in. This inn is called "Wulin Inn", although the business is not prosperous, but it can not be said to be depressed, in addition to the older account in the inn, the shopkeeper and the guys are young and capable, and they immediately greeted him when they came.

"Give me a quieter upper room." Wang Yu said with a smile: "Although I am a foreigner, I often come here, if I live well, I will bring my companion to live with you in the future." ”

"Although the guest officer is relieved, the small shop does not dare to say that it is the best in Lin'an, but it accounts for the word clean and clean." The shopkeeper stretched out his hand and said, "Come with me, come with me, Zhan Tang, prepare water, and wash the dust for the guest officer." ”

Wang Yu followed behind the shopkeeper, the two went upstairs to the inn, walked to the innermost room, a little two carried a wooden basin bucket, followed behind them, and after they entered the room, the little two put down the wooden basin bucket, as if to check whether the wooden basin was leaking, but his eyes were looking around, watching if there were idlers approaching.

As soon as he entered the room, Wang Yu hugged the shopkeeper fiercely: "Senior Brother Chongde, I haven't seen you for a long time!" ”

The shopkeeper is Qin Dashi.
