Chapter 493: I just entered the capital and heard a shocking change 4
Since Zhou Nan took his own soldiers east to quell the rebellion of the Xi people, only a few servants were left to take care of it, and the temporary fire brazier in the bedroom was not enough to cope with the cold at night. Zhou Nan followed Xiao Lao Liu to the command of the envoy of the Ma Bujun Capital. The backyard of the command envoy is where Xiao Laoliu, Gao Yuan, and Yang Keshi live, which is of course better than his deserted official office.
Along the way, Xiao Lao Liu never mentioned that Zhou Nan and Yu Liyan had any disputes, he was so old, he could naturally see that it was a little couple who were making a big fuss, and he didn't care.
Back at the house, Xiao Lao Liu asked the servants to clean up in the room next to his bedroom, spread new bedding, and burn more braziers, so that Zhou Nan could sleep early.
The next day, Zhou Nanzhi slept until the sun rose, and then got up, and a maid brought hot water and a face towel with a wooden basin, and the hot water was mixed with peas and vanilla ash to make bean noodles, which looked a little muddy, but Zhou Nan got used to it after using it a few times at first. Of course, the effect of use cannot be compared with real soap.
When Zhou Nan chose to brew steamed wine in Sanssouci Village, he also considered making some soap and shipping it to the Great Song Dynasty to sell. Zhou Nan has even thought about what kind of soap, toothpaste, toothbrush, shampoo, perfume, these daily necessities he has to get out, of course, not those industrial raw materials in later generations, but the real herbal essence made according to the formula of traditional Chinese medicine, I believe that the people of the Great Song Dynasty who advocate luxury will definitely flock to it.
At this time, it is not that there is no tooth powder, "soap", "shampoo", but the effect is too poor, the soap is a mixture of bath beans and vanilla ash, the shampoo is the boiled rice water, the tooth powder is the grinding musk, borneol, etc. made into the appearance of a toothbrush, toothbrush, toothpaste "two-in-one". These things are either ineffective, or expensive and cannot be popularized - in fact, even ordinary people can't afford to use bean noodles for washing their faces.
The reason why we didn't do it at that time was because there were wars and there was no stable environment. Now that all the surrounding areas of Yanjing have been regained and stabilized, they are in the three prefectures of Pingping, Ying, and Luan. After the recovery of Ping, Ying, Luan, and then the formation of a supervisor, there are craftsmen, materials, plus their own technical guidance, I believe that we can make the first-class daily cleaning products in this era.
Although the cost of making pure natural raw materials is higher than that of chemical products, if there is a supermarket in Dasong, coupled with the advantages of large-scale production, these products are enough to earn huge profits.
Thinking of this, Zhou Nan began to think about how to recover Ping, Ying, and Luanzhou - for more than half a year, he was always thinking about the surrounding situation, just like now. The situation does not allow him to ignore it, and there are even some unexpected events, just like the detention of Yang Keshi and the family members of King Yun of the Great Song Dynasty a few years ago, there is no record in history, it is completely sudden, Zhou Nan can only make a choice according to the current situation, instead of being like the Song soldiers attacking Yanjing City, he still has a preparation.
Xiao Gan led the Xi soldiers to capture Jizhou and Xianghe, which is also consistent with the historical record, although Xiao Gan in history was defeated by the army led by the Great Liao rebel general Guo Yaoshi, but in the current world, it is impossible to happen - the defective general Guo Yaoshi has already been poisoned in Zhuozhou City by his own design. Therefore, the work of Pharmacist Guo can only be completed by himself on his behalf.
According to his own ideas, after getting rid of the two rebel leaders Xiao Gan and Yi Room Bajin, the entire Xi tribe has been divided into five tribes by itself, which is in the hands of the imperial court. These taunts will later become part of the hard work of their territory.
As for the three prefectures of Ping, Ying, and Luan, Zhou Nan still couldn't make up his mind, Pingzhou was only a Jiedu prefecture, with three prefectures and three counties under its jurisdiction, and the territory was narrow. However, it was positioned by the Great Liao as a state of military administration, civil affairs, and financial affairs directly under the central government. This is similar to the planned cities or sub-provincial cities in the era of Zhou Nan.
And the importance of Pingzhou does not stop there, Pingzhou is a jurisdiction of Jiedu Prefecture, but it is on a par with Nanjing Dao. Moreover, there are also nine divisions of the cavalry army under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou, and their strength cannot be underestimated.
Historically, Pingzhou first surrendered to the Jin soldiers, and then rebelled against the Great Song Dynasty, but was caught by the Jin army under the pretext, so he began to wave the army south, which led to the Jingkang Rebellion that the Han people were ashamed to talk about.
Thinking of the Jingkang Rebellion, Zhou Nan's heart suddenly became a little heavy, which was the last thing Zhou Nan wanted to think of. But the wheel of history is getting closer and closer to that shameful event. And he can't dodge, the more he doesn't want to think about it, the more the situation forces him to the stage of history, and let himself lead this scene with his own hands.
Zhou Nan walked outside the house and took a deep breath to calm himself down.
If Yuguan is not in his hands for a day, he will not be able to sleep peacefully for a day. The situation is changing rapidly, he doesn't know when the Jin soldiers will attack from Yuguan one day, and besides, Pingzhou is separated by the middle, and the matter of Pingzhou must be solved first, so as to plug the gap in Yuguan as soon as possible.
For the defenders of Pingzhou, whether to defeat, cripple, and fight Pingzhou like the Song army, or to remove the first evil and integrate the defenders like the Xi soldiers, it is necessary to make a decision as soon as possible, or to put it into action as soon as possible.
On his side, he can only prepare for the fight as soon as possible, and then send someone to send a letter of persuasion to the Pingzhou guard. If the Pingzhou garrison surrenders, it is best, if not, he will wave his army to the east, kill to Qinhuangdao in one go, kill to Shanhaiguan, and give him a "new chapter in the east of Jieshi." Zhou Nan said viciously in his heart.
"You kid, just got up! I've been waiting for you all morning! Before the person approached, Xiao Lao Liu shouted loudly.
Zhou Nan immediately stepped forward to salute and said, "I don't know if my uncle is in a hurry?" ”
"What else could it be? Take me to see your chariot. I went to the palace just now, and those girls said they wouldn't manipulate it, so I came back to you again. "It turned out that Xiao Lao Liuji was hanging a magic car and had already gone to the palace early in the morning.
"I'll show you there." Zhou Nan said with a smile, he wanted to discuss with Xiao Lao Liu how to recover Pingzhou, after all, Xiao Lao Liu knew the situation of Pingzhou Guard General and Pingzhou better than himself.
The two walked to the palace, Gao Yun and the others had already gotten up, and when they saw Zhou Nan following Xiao Lao Liu in, Yu Liyan asked Zhou Nandao, "Did Zhou Lang eat?" ”
Zhou Nan shook his head, and Yu Liyan said angrily, "It must be that my uncle is in a hurry to come and fiddle with the magic car, and he didn't remember to let you eat, so he rushed here." Let's go inside and have some food, and it's not too late to see the car. ”
Xiao Laoliu patted his head and said with a high voice, "Blame me, I don't know how distressed people are." Hahaha! As he spoke, he also came in with Zhou Nan, sat next to Zhou Nan, and watched Zhou Nan eat.
Zhou Nan asked while eating, "Uncle, who is this Pingzhou lord?" ”
Xiao Laoliu was about to speak, when suddenly a young girl came in from outside, who seemed to be a female official in Yu Liyan's Hanlin Academy, holding an urgent report, and said, "General Gao and General Yang are in an urgent letter, Zhang Jue has surrendered to the Jin army, and now he has joined forces to capture Yutian." Our army retreated to Zunhua and quickly dispatched reinforcements! ”
