Chapter 104: The Red Chamber
Yang Wenguang was originally a military general, and today he was aroused by Zhong Hao's alcohol addiction, and he didn't care about those red tapes, so he took a jar from the soju brought by Zhong Hao in the signing room, patted the mud seal, and raised his head to "goo dong, goo ......dong" a few big gulps. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
Zhong Hao was shocked to see it, drinking soju like this, wouldn't he drink something? If you drink something, you can't get out of it. At that moment, Zhong Hao persuaded: "General Yang, this wine needs to be drunk slowly!" ”
"Good wine, this wine is strong enough!" Yang Wenguang drank the small half jar in one go, and then put down the wine jar and praised loudly. Fortunately, the wine jar is not very large, if it is that kind of large wine jar, drink a small half jar of high soju, it is estimated that he will lie down directly.
Zhong Hao saw that Yang Wenguang's face was flushed with a red tide, and he couldn't help but say: "This wine is too strong, General Yang must not drink it so urgently, be careful of hurting yourself!" ”
"Haha, drinking has always been like this, but this wine is really strong, it is indeed several times stronger than "Pear Blossom White"! Yang Wenguang was surging with alcohol, and he stumbled a little, he was afraid that he was so eager to drink, he must be a little drunk. This is a high-grade soju, and it is drunk in the same way as the brewed sake at this time, so it's strange if you don't get drunk. However, for the sake of face, Yang Wenguang was still holding on, but his mouth was full of wine, but he betrayed him.
Zhong Hao originally wanted to take advantage of the situation to talk to Yang Wenguang about the soju going to trade with the city, but seeing that Yang Wenguang was a little drunk, he couldn't talk about it. Talking to someone who is drunk may not be accurate afterwards.
Zhong Hao and Yang Wen advertised, saying that they would talk about doing soju business together tomorrow.
Yang Wenguang was indeed a little unable to hold on, it used to be a jar of "pear blossom white", he drank it in one go, and it was fine. With his large amount of alcohol, he dared to drink so much soju in one go, and he felt that he must be fine. It's just that he really didn't expect this soju to be so strong, so he miscalculated. Seeing Zhong Hao's farewell, Yang Wenguang asked Zhong Hao to arrange a place to live and make an appointment to talk again tomorrow.
Zhong Hao resigned Yang Wenguang's offer to arrange accommodation. I have been to Yincheng County once in the past few months, and I have never experienced the customs of Hexi.
Although Linzhou City is far less prosperous than the inland state city, it is indeed the most prosperous city in Hexi. Zhong Hao planned to take a good look around Linzhou, and by the way, he and Cui Feng went to rub the big ones together. In Jingqiang Village, in order to maintain the image of sharing weal and woe with the sergeants, they eat a big pot of dishes together every day, and a bird really fades out of their mouths.

There is a red building on the west wall of Linzhou City.
The city of Linzhou is located on the top of the Tiejian Mountain on the east bank of the Kuye River, and the Red House is built on its city wall, the position is extremely high, so the view is excellent, it is an excellent place to climb high and enjoy the scenery.
Not only can you overlook it from afar, but you can also overlook the magnificence of the Kuno River from a high place, and under the west wall of the Kuno River is the gushing Kuye River.
The Red House is the landmark building of Linzhou, it is a place for dignitaries and literati to visit and feast, and to chant poems, and the guests have inscribed a lot of famous works on the upper floor. Fan Zhongyan, whom he admires, also left a hand-me-down work here, "Fisherman's Pride and Linzhou Autumn Words".
When you come to Linzhou, this red mansion is a must-see.
More than 120 miles from Jingqiang Village to Linzhou City, Zhong Hao and his team came to Linzhou City from Jingqiang Village It was already more than half of the afternoon, and they stayed in the state government for more than an hour.
Standing in the red building on the city wall, looking into the distance, the sky is high and the fields are wide, and the green plains are thousands of miles. Like a long dragon, the river meanders from afar and stretches to the feet. Not far to the west is the Qiang Mountain, which is the territory of Western Xia.
The sunset over the long river, the magnificent mountains and rivers, can't help but make people feel proud.
Zhong Hao was also full of emotion, and blurted out Fan Zhongyan's heroic "Proud of the Fisherman".
"The scenery is different in autumn, and the geese in Hengyang don't pay attention. The sound of the corners on all sides rises, and in the thousands of mountains, the long smoke and sunset are closed in a lonely city.
A glass of turbid wine is thousands of miles away, Yan Ran has no plan, Qiang Guan is full of frost, people are sleepless, and the general has white hair and tears. ”
Standing at the highest place, the field of vision is quite broad, looking up at the "Hengyang geese", listening to the "sound of the side on all sides", looking at the "long smoke and sunset" with the extreme eye, the cold days in October are short, the dew and frost are all over the ground, and the grass is declining. As the sun sets, the lonely city closes. Although it is not autumn at this time, the scenery described here in the poem is very suitable for the atmosphere of Inju at this time.
"Okay, Zhong Ji should be exported into a chapter, and it is such a proud work at hand, which really makes the officials admire!" As soon as Zhong Hao finished chanting, Han Hu praised loudly.
Before Zhong Hao could speak, Wang San rolled his eyes and said, "Sycophant, you can speak like you know poetry!" "Han Hu is sleek, Zhong Hao knows. And Wang San is honest and upright, and he can't get used to his temperament.
However, although Han Hu is more sleek, he still has some skills, just look at the unruly prison camp, and he will know a thing or two about being obedient in his hands. People like Han Hu may really want to fight and charge, they must not be as good as Wang San, but they are definitely better than Wang San in coordinating the relationship in the rear and handling chores. Zhong Hao now has only a few people in his hands, and he has no choice, so he still attaches great importance to this Han Hu.
Zhong Hao listened to Wang San's words, couldn't help but smile bitterly, shook his head, and then said to the three of them: "This is the word I made, this poem was made by Fan Gong when he climbed the Red Mansion before." Fan Gong's words, heroic and wild, swept away the graceful wind, made people listen to the pride of life, it is really extraordinary! ”
Cui Feng said loudly: "Fan Gong's words are really heroic, 'Yan Ran has no plan' to say what I want." Standing here, looking up to the west, it is the summer realm, how can it not be embarrassing. The thieves of the west stole my Great Song Hexi, which is really sad and indignant. I hope that one day, we will be able to 'drive a long car and step through Helan Mountain'."
Wang San said in a loud voice: "With Zhong Gongzi taking us, we will definitely be able to go straight to the West Thief Helan Mountain in the future!" In the future, there will be a place for us to show our talents. Wang San didn't have too many ideas, and he always called Zhong Hao Zhong Gongzi when he unloaded the stone shed, and after coming to Hexi, he kept changing his words. Wang San now admires Zhong Hao's various skills, Zhong Hao once described to him the prospect of training troops in Tuntian and fighting the Xia army in the future, which made Wang San look forward to it.
Zhong Hao said in his heart: Wang San, this fool also thinks too highly of me, I just said it casually!
With Zhong Hao's understanding of history, the Western Xia is still very tenacious, and the whole is a fighting nation. Although the Western Xia was a small country and a widow, it fought with the Song army, the Liao army, and the Jin army that destroyed the Liao State like an immortal small power, until it encountered the invincible Mongol Empire, and then destroyed the country in the sixth conquest of the Mongols. Zhong Hao felt that it was basically impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to really break through Helan Mountain and destroy Western Xia at this time.
"With Zhong Jiyi taking us, everyone will definitely be able to make contributions!" Han Hu also agreed. Of course, Han Hu just talked about it, and he didn't believe that Zhong Hao's small Tuntian envoys could have the opportunity to lead everyone to make contributions.
Although Zhong Hao didn't believe that he could really wipe out the Western Xia, but standing at this extremely high place, looking into the distance, the great rivers and mountains were stolen by the Western Xia. Without saying a few heroic words, it seemed that he had also lived up to everyone's pride, and Zhong Hao blurted out a sentence at the moment: "Huangsha wears gold armor in a hundred battles, and if you don't break the western thief's oath, you won't return it!" ”
"If you don't break the thief's oath, you won't pay it back!" Cui Feng and the three of them echoed loudly.
Some people just take this bold talk as a deaf ear, but some people take it seriously.
Zhong Hao: They felt enough of the pride and longing, and they wanted to solve the practical problem. Lunch was hastily solved by the four of them eating some dried meat and dry food on the road at noon, and they were all a little hungry at this time!
"Let's go, find a restaurant to drink!"
There are many stone inscriptions on the walls of the Red Mansion. Among them, there is also a poem by Fan Zhongyan "Leaving a Title in Linzhou", the poem is: Xuan'en came to the extreme western state, and the Qiang Mountain under the city is first-class. If you don't see the cultivator and see the beacon fire, I am willing to be the prime minister and the rich marquis. It embodies its noble feelings of compassion and compassion.
When everyone saw it, they couldn't help but be even more in awe of Fan Zhongyan.
After taking another turn on the Red Mansion and taking a look at the scenery, the four of them came down from the Red Mansion and prepared to go to the restaurant for wine and dinner.

Linzhou City is an important border town and a military city, and the inspection of foreign populations is doubly meticulous to prevent the intrusion of fine workers. However, there are still many aliens in the city, including Dangxiang, Tibetans, Uighurs, and even blonde and blue-eyed Central Asians. This is mainly due to the fact that Linzhou was an important place for trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Western Xia, and it was also an important transit point on the trade routes of the Western Regions and the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhong Hao and Cui Feng are both from Qingzhou, Qingzhou is located in the easternmost part of the Great Song Dynasty, and there are few people from the northwest, so they can't help but be very curious about these aliens. Han Hu was not surprised, and explained to Zhong Hao along the way how to distinguish people of various races from their faces and clothes.
In fact, there are still many party members in the Great Song Dynasty, such as the Zhejia family in Fuzhou and the Wang family in Fengzhou. Whether it is their clothing or living habits, they have been completely sinicized, and they have long been indistinguishable.
More than ten years ago, Li Yuanhao issued a bald order, so that the party members of Xia Guo shaved the top of their heads, and resumed the habit of dressing on the left.
The four of them found a restaurant that looked pretty good, and asked the guy to lead his group's eight horses to the backyard to feed them, and instructed them to use good beans and settle the bill tomorrow. This restaurant has guest rooms, Zhong Hao asked the man to leave two rooms, and they are going to stay here tonight.
There is no curfew in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty now, but in this place, especially in a military important place like Linzhou City, there is a curfew at night. Every day, when the missing "day" in the state government was exhausted, 600 "closed-door drums" were sounded and a curfew began. Zhong Hao and the others wanted to drink in the restaurant, and they couldn't leave halfway through the drink, so they directly found this restaurant with guest rooms.
The second floor of this restaurant is full of guest rooms, and the tables are only available in the hall, so Zhong Hao and the four of them sat down at a quiet table by the window.
The dishes of the restaurant are full of rough characteristics of the northwest, the main dish is a large plate full of hand-grabbed mutton, Zhong Hao also asked for a few dishes such as braised sheep's trotters, mutton and tofu.
The appearance of the dishes is not very good, but the taste is really good when Zhong Hao eats it. It's just that the taste of the wine is weak, Zhong Hao didn't feel anything, but it made Cui Feng and the three of them, who had tasted soju, feel very uncomfortable. Fortunately, the large piece of mutton made the three of them eat and feast, and the wine was light and drank in a big bowl!
A few bowls of wine were in the stomach, and several people were a little happy, Wang San had always looked down on Han Hu, and at this time he pulled Han Hu to fight for his wine. Cui Feng was also teasing and cheering on the side.
Zhong Hao couldn't stand the heroism of their big bowls of drinking, so he let the three of them take care of themselves, drank the wine in small sips, and looked at the people in the restaurant.
In the northwest corner of the hall sat two bald party members, who were able to enter Linzhou City this year and were all merchants from Western Xia, but these two party members were fierce. There was also a girl next to the wine table, who seemed to be a Han woman, with a rather ugly face. One of the party members kept muttering something, not that after a few sips of wine, he would whip the girl with a horsewhip.
The girl was thin, shivering and pitiful as she stood by.
Zhong Hao was also quite unbearable in his heart, but he was not familiar with the life in Linzhou, so he didn't know what the relationship between them was, and it was not easy to ask casually.
The Xia people and the Great Song Dynasty are different, the party members can own a lot of slaves, which is people's private property, and people want to kill or chop, and others have no right to intervene. The Hexi Corridor used to be inhabited by many Han Chinese, such as the Guasha area, where many Han people became slaves of the party after being annexed by Li Yuanhao.
Although Zhong Hao pitied the girl, he couldn't help it, so he couldn't help it, so he couldn't bear to look at it and turned his head to look away.
After a while, the two party drinkers seemed to have finished drinking, and the party drinker who had beaten the girl tried to get up and walk, but one of them stumbled and fell to the ground, thinking that he had drunk a little too much. The girl wanted to help, but she seemed to think of something and stopped again.
The party drinker got up, kicked the girl to the ground, whipped her with a horsewhip, and cursed something all the time.
The girl didn't shout, but just used her two arms to protect her head, and let the party drinker whip her. Another drinker on the side did not dissuade him, but just stood by and watched the excitement.
Zhong Hao couldn't stand it anymore at this time, so he got up and walked to the party drinker, and he didn't know if he could understand Chinese, but he still persuaded: "Brother Tai, don't fight, if you fight again, you will die!" ”
The party drinker glanced at Zhong Hao, and saw that it was a young Han man blocking him, and said indifferently: "She is my slave, what if she is killed?" "This party member can speak Chinese, and it seems that he often does business with Han people.
"It's not nice to kill someone in this restaurant!"
"What's not good-looking, I'm going to kill her, useless things, I can't even help Lao Tzu fall!" The party drinker said and threw out his horsewhip and beat the girl desperately, obviously not taking Zhong Hao and this restaurant seriously. (To be continued.) )
