Chapter 18: Don't be proud
"Your Majesty!"
Li Shimin waved his hand and said: "I am here in Weiwei, you don't have to be formal, you can all be flat." I came with this aroma of wine, and there is such a strong aroma of wine in Chang'an City. ”
Everyone got up, and Cheng Yanjin hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, this is a new liquor made by Su Cheng, called Burning Knife, and the minister wants to dedicate it to Your Majesty!" ”
Li Shimin naturally knew that this was made by Su Cheng, but when he heard the name Su Cheng, he still felt very unhappy.
It's not cool, but the aroma of this wine is so tempting.
Li Shimin is also a good drinker, and he was suddenly aroused by the aroma of wine.
After entering the hall, Cheng Yanjin invited Li Shimin to sit down, and then personally opened a jar of wine and poured it full, Li Jing reminded: "Your Majesty, the burning knife wine is as its name suggests, the entrance is strong, and it is suitable for drinking slowly." ”
The aroma of this wine is so strong, Li Shimin bowed his head slightly, and then couldn't wait to raise his glass and take a sip, and suddenly a spicy and mellow taste spread in his mouth.
Li Shimin's eyes narrowed, he looked very happy, Shaoqing exhaled a long breath, and praised: "What a strong wine!" What a good wine! ”
Cheng Yanjin grinned and said: "This wine is strong enough, this is the wine that men should drink, and after drinking this wine, I feel that the three pulp I drank before were all drunk by women!" ”
Li Shimin took another sip and nodded: "After drinking the burning knife, drinking other wine is really bland and tasteless!" Such a beautiful day, and there are burning knives and wine, come, don't be restrained, get drunk tonight. ”
The room was finally quieter, and Cheng Chumo and the others all looked at Su Cheng with very complicated eyes.
Li Zhen sighed: "Su Cheng, your poetry is really shocking, and it caused a sensation when you wrote a poem casually. ”
The others also nodded and said, "Yes, it's amazing!" ”
A random poem? This is not just a random poem, but Su Cheng didn't bother to explain, and said with a smile: "I have a specialization in the art industry, I have no power to restrain the chicken, I have nothing else to do, and I will write a few poems, you are all amazing martial arts, proficient in the art of war, and you are all generals, but it is not comparable to a few poems of mine." ”
Su Cheng's words can be said to their hearts, although they have never led troops, but they always want to lead soldiers to be a general.
is the so-called drunken spit out the truth, Su Cheng's words suddenly opened their chatterbox.
"All Chang'an thinks we are gentlemen, how do you know our suffering? What do we practice martial arts for? In order to gallop on the battlefield! ”
"Yes, a good man, crisscrossing the battlefield, sealing his wife and son, how can he lie on his father's exploits and wait for death?"
"Yes, we also want to make meritorious contributions, and we also want people all over the world to see that we are not gentlemen, and we are also good men who can fight well!"
"Alas, it's a pity, there's no chance!"
The corners of Su Cheng's mouth twitched, what's wrong with being a gentleman? I can't wait to be a gentleman!
The problem is that I don't have a chance!
Su Cheng sighed and asked, "Could it be that your uncles don't allow you to join the army?" ”
Cheng Chumo explained: "That's not it, the main thing is that there is no war now. ”
Although Su Cheng didn't know much about history, he vaguely remembered some of it, and said with some doubts: "Hasn't the Turks always been unstable?" ”
Qin Huaidao sighed: "There will be a war between my Tang Dynasty and the Turks, Your Majesty wants to fight the Turks in his dreams, the problem is that the people's livelihood has withered soon after the establishment of the dynasty, and the food and grass are not enough, and I don't know when to wait!" ”
Li Zhen nodded and said, "Well, many people starved to death in the drought last year, and they couldn't save food!" ”
Yu Chi Baolin put down his wine glass heavily, and sighed: "It would be great if rice could be planted twice a year, so that grain could be accumulated, not only would no one starve to death, but also there would be grain and grass to go to war!" ”
Cheng Chumo, Qin Huaidao and the others laughed together: "What are you doing in the Spring and Autumn Dream!" ”
Yu Chi Baolin smiled a little embarrassedly, only Su Cheng couldn't help but move in his heart when he heard it, isn't it normal for rice to be harvested twice a year?
Su Cheng couldn't help but ponder, he vaguely remembered that the rice that crops twice a year came from a small country in the south, it seemed to be called Zhancheng rice, hadn't it been passed to Datang yet?
Su Cheng muttered: "It's not impossible for rice to be harvested twice a year! ”
Qin Huaidao and their eyes suddenly focused on Su Cheng's body, and they all shook their heads and said, "How can rice be harvested twice a year, Old Su, you have drunk too much!" ”
Su Cheng shook his head and said: "What I said is true, my master has traveled all over the world, I have heard him say that he once went to a small country in the south, it seems to be a place called Zhancheng, where there is a kind of rice that can be planted twice a year, if this rice is introduced into the Tang Dynasty, won't it be able to increase the yield of a lot of grain every year?" ”
Suddenly, Cheng Chumo and the others were all in good spirits: "Really? Is there really a double crop of rice a year? ”
Su Cheng nodded and said, "Can I still lie to you?" That place is called Champong, it should be in the south, but unfortunately it is too far away from us, and I don't know the exact location! ”
Yu Chi Baolin patted his thigh and said: "What's this, just know the name of the place, we can send someone south to look for it, once we find it, it will be a great achievement!" ”
Cheng Chumo also nodded and said, "Yes, this is a good thing for the benefit of the country and the people!" ”
Li Zhen exclaimed, "Then what are you waiting for? Let's go back and send someone south to find it!" ”
At this time, Fang Yi said slowly: "A small country in the south? Isn't there a quadrangle? ”
A word to wake up the dreamer!
"That's right! There is a quadripartite pavilion! Let's just go to the Sifang Pavilion and ask! ”
"So what are you waiting for?"
"Brothers, let's go! Go to the Sirangkan! ”
The Sifang Pavilion is a place to accept envoys from various countries, especially many small countries send people to stay in Chang'an all the year round, and they live in the Sifang Pavilion.
Full of wine and food, everyone walked downstairs excitedly, which immediately alarmed the entire fragrant building.
Especially the girls in Xiangmanlou are particularly enthusiastic.
"Su Gongzi!"
"Master Su, can the slave family sing a little song for you?"
……
The girls in the fragrant building were full of heat and reluctance in their soft voices, but Su Cheng's mind was now all on Zhancheng rice.
I, Su Cheng, but a promising young man with ideals and morals, how can he be greedy for flowers and sex?
Anyway, I can't run.
After getting off the Xiangmanlou and walking on the long street, the upstairs next to him seemed to hear the shouts of the Xiangmanlou, and suddenly the eyes of many girls were focused on Su Cheng.
"Master Su, come and listen to a little song, the slave family is good at!"
"Ah, Master Su, the slave family admires you so much!"
"Young Master Su, the slave family is willing to recommend a pillow and ask for the favor of the son!"
"Master Su, my Feather Butterfly girl is invited!"
……
There was such a shout on the entire long street, and Su Cheng finally realized what it meant to be a Qinglou Bo Xingming.
However, you can't be proud, Su Cheng silently warned himself in his heart that he was still far from Liu Yong's realm.
