Chapter 61: The Siege of the Long Society

Early the next morning, Zhang Ran took Su Xiu to appear on the court hall. Although this is not the first time that Su Xiu has gone to the main hall, he only came up last time to receive the decree and thank him, and then he withdrew from the main hall, and he didn't even have a chance to look at the layout of the main hall.

Su Xiu made full preparations today and brought two pots of wine to the hall. When he stood outside the door of the main hall and waited for the announcement, he thought about how to "offer treasures". His real purpose today is not to offer wine to Emperor Ling, but to let the immortals get drunk and open up the demand from the high-ranking officials in Luoyang, so as to ask for a large amount of food.

After paying homage, Emperor Ling asked, "Aiqing, listen to what Father said, are you here to give me the treasure today?" It's what a baby, take it out quickly! ”

"No!" Su Xiu took out a small wine jug from his arms and handed it to the tray of the little yellow door.

However, just as Xiao Huangmen turned around, Su Xiu secretly used his dexterity to hit a small pebble at the crook of Xiao Huangmen's feet. The little eunuch was in pain, and immediately knelt down, the tray was unstable, and the wine jug hit the steps directly and fell into pieces.

Suddenly, the main hall was full of wine, and the mellow fragrance came out, and every Wenchen and military general in the hall had seen the world in Luoyang, but they were still as surprised as Grandma Liu entered the Grand View Garden.

There are thousands of fine wines in this world, and it can be said that there is no one they have not drunk. After all, in ancient times, literati and military generals were basically good at drinking, and what was above the main hall was basically the peak of the achievements of literati and military generals, and naturally there were countless good wines.

But even Emperor Ling of Han had never seen any kind of wine that could have such a mellow aroma, and it was so long and long, that he felt like he was going to get drunk when he smelled it.

But such a good wine was broken by this little yellow door, and the Spirit Emperor was furious and wanted to pull this little yellow door out and behead it. Su Xiu hurriedly stood up and said: "Your Majesty is angry, there is still a little bit here in Weichen, although it is not as good as the wine in the pot just now, but it is also the only wine in this world." It's just that the brewing method is different, so I didn't take it out just now. ”

This time, Zhang Rang personally came down, took the porcelain vase in Su Xiu's hand, and carefully presented it to Emperor Ling. Xiao Huangmen had already taken a wine bottle and poured a bottle of wine for Emperor Ling, Emperor Ling drank it all, and his face suddenly began to redden, Zhang Rang had never seen any wine that could make people blush instantly, he was shocked, and was about to have a seizure, when he saw Emperor Ling laughing.

"Good wine, good wine! This wine should only be in heaven, how many times can you taste it in the world! Su Aiqing, do you still have such a good wine? ”

"Your Majesty, this wine consumes a lot of food, even a big grain merchant like the Xuzhou Mi family can't afford it, and it was only by chance that he got this brewing method from the immortals, and he tried to make this wine, so he let Wei Chenjin dedicate it to His Majesty."

The Spirit Emperor cared about what kind of food was consumed, he only cared about his own pleasure, so he asked, "Oh? Is this wine made from the recipe of the immortals? It's no wonder it's refreshing and endless. Su Aiqing, you have made a meritorious contribution to the treasure, I will reward you with ten brocade horses, one hundred taels of gold, and you will supervise the brewing of immortal wine for me. ”

"Thank Your Majesty for the reward, but Your Majesty, it's not that the minister is unwilling, but that Mount Tai under the rule of Weichen really has no grain to make wine. This wine requires 200 stone to get a jar, which is more than 100 times more expensive than ordinary wine, and Mount Tai has been exhausted due to the influx of refugees, and his majesty is asked to take back his life. ”

"The grain is good, I will give you 200,000 stones, and let Jizhou send you another 300,000 stones of grain for winemaking."

"Your Majesty, now Mount Tai is full of refugees, if you let the victims know that Weichen has food and does not use it for disaster relief, for fear of riots, why not share some food for disaster relief, in order to reassure the people, the people will also remember Your Majesty's kindness."

"It's rare for Su Aiqing to be so loyal, good! You can take the 300,000 grains in Jizhou for disaster relief, and I will allocate another 200,000 stone for disaster relief. ”

"Thank you, Your Majesty, Longen!"

……

Engaging in grain from the emperor was something that Su Xiu had not thought about before entering Luoyang, but after seeing Cai Yong's reaction, Su Xiu had a whim, and felt that since he came to Luoyang to develop the market, he would develop the high-end market, which was easier to get a large amount of grain than from the rich in Luoyang.

After Su Xiu thought of this idea, he immediately asked people to go back to Mount Tai to send soldiers and horses to escort the grain and grass, this time he and Zhang Fei escorted it together, and there must be no problems with this batch of grain.

Seven or eight days later, the imperial court informed that the grain and grass were ready and ready to set off at any time, Su Xiu estimated the itinerary of the Taishan army and decided to set off in two days, so that he could probably meet the Taishan brigade on the border of Yanzhou. There was no war, and the crime of the transfer of the brigade was very big, and it was impossible for Si Li's side to escort him to Mount Tai, so he had to hand over at the intersection of Si Li and Yanzhou.

Before leaving, Su Xiu went to find Cai Yong, and after learning that Cai Yong had made up his mind to go back with him, he was overjoyed, and now Taishan's talents will slowly accumulate, so his road to hegemony will be smoother.

After half a month, Su Xiu returned to Mount Tai with Cai Yong's family and 400,000 stone grains. After hearing about Su Xiu's experience in Luoyang, Xi Zhicai also regarded this lord as a god, and even dared to fool today, and the key was to fool.

Originally, Su Xiu also planned to meet Cao Cao, but since Cao Cao was re-recruited as Yilang last year, he changed his address, and Su Xiu did not deliberately inquire. Anyway, it won't be long before I have the opportunity to see this late Han lord on the battlefield.

The news of the arrival of the relief grain from the imperial court spread, and the whole Mount Tai boiled, and they all sang praises to the young county guard. From the beginning of opening a warehouse to release grain, resettle refugees to cut salaries, and now go all the way to Luoyang to ask for disaster relief food for them, all Qingzhou refugees regard him as a reborn parent, and some even put an immortal tablet for him in their simple resettlement shed.

The big problem of food was solved, and the worries in the hearts of the refugees were also put down, thanks to Su Xiu's kindness, the refugees also worked hard to build roads, and in less than half a year, all the main transportation routes in Mount Tai were completed in the construction of official roads.

Because of these refugees, Taishan's population has nearly doubled, but it is also running at a high speed in an orderly manner under the dispatch of Xi Zhicai.

The refugee matter has been settled, but Su Xiu recently ran to the wolf's tooth camp before dawn and let go of the training of his hands and feet, which made this group of tough guys toss and wail again and again.

It is said that this wolf tooth has been in the city for a while, and the intensity of this training will not make them miserable, but it can't stand the many tricks in Su Xiu's head, one trick a day, it's been almost ten days, and there is no duplicate every day.

On this day, Su Xiu had just arrived at the wolf's tooth, and Xi Zhicai came to stop him, with a bitter look on his face: "Lord, you are free, but you have made me miserable." Be kind and spare me. ”

"What's wrong, Zhicai?"

"You put the old man Cai in the academy, since the last time you told him about the book, he has come to the government every three or five days to find you, you know the old man's temperament, and I am so annoying, and I don't dare to say anything, so I have to persuade him to go back. Yesterday I stayed in the government for a day, saying that I couldn't see you and didn't leave, so I finally persuaded you to go home, and you went to make it clear to the old man today anyway, or I don't want to do this. ”
