Liu Wei is still very satisfied with the shopkeeper he found, and it is still a little difficult for the Han Dynasty about 2,000 years ago to completely replicate the methods of frying and frying that he knows, but can this stump the wisdom of the "big foodie" country?

Mr. Sun not only reproduced the taste of some dishes with little difference, but was also inspired to create many new dishes. But all this is thanks to Bowang Hou Zhang Ziwen and Zhang Qian.

It was he who brought the alien species from Central Asia and West Asia back to Dahan, although there was no chili, but there were garlic, peppercorns, and dogwood as seasonings, as a spicy party, I didn't eat spicy food for several years and relied on these to satisfy my cravings, which was very uncomfortable. Thinking about it, I can't eat chili peppers in my life, and it's even more uncomfortable.

Liu Wei smiled and turned his head, "Old Sun, you are doing a good job, I heard that your son is also an adult, and his poetry and books have also been enlightened, so ask him to report to Yingchuan tomorrow!" Let's start with paperwork. ”

Liu Wei knew that he was not old enough to serve the public, and there were too many things that could only be handed over to others to do, and he could only control them behind the scenes. From ancient times to the present, those who want to achieve great things must be able to control their own wealth and power.

If you have money, you can pay your little brother's salary, and if you have the power, you can let others see what the vision of doing things for you is, do you think that everyone really looks at your extraordinary appearance and bows your head, one does not pay money, two does not send officials, and does not include a girl or a room, who birds your onion?

Thinking about it deeply, why not put his son next to He Jin, his uncle who was already Yingchuan Taishou, just in case......

"Thank you Gongzi!" Shopkeeper Sun didn't expect that Gongzi would care so much about his own affairs, so he knelt down and thanked him, grateful. Since the Qin Dynasty, Shinong industry and commerce, with clear class distinctions, and merchants as lowly people, have long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

Shopkeeper Sun has been smiling all his life, and all of them are parents of food and clothing. Of course, I don't want my son to follow his own old path, and now he has been promoted by his son to be a clerk next to He's relatives, as long as he doesn't make mistakes, he naturally has a bright future. The glorious lintel is just around the corner.

"Do a good job for your son, clerical, even if you are an official! It's just a trivial matter for our son. Rao Wen said with a somewhat proud face.

"Don't speak, no one treats you as a mute!" Liu Wei picked up a piece of dried fruit that he didn't like to eat and threw it at Rao Wen, what about his brother, why is he so unsightly?

Rao Wen, the little eunuch personally selected by Liu Hong, Liu Wei's little follower, and a dog's leg. Since he was a child, he followed Liu Wei out of the deep palace and has been serving Liu Wei for four years. Rao Wenwen's surname is Yao, his ancestors have also become prominent, and he is also coarse in writing and ink, which is also an important reason why he can be a slave by Liu Wei's side. But in his life, he has fallen into the same state.

Since the accession of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty Liu Xun, Liu Xun's real name is Liu Ai, and he changed his name to Xun after ascending the throne. He ordered the whole country to avoid the "inquiry" of the emperor's name.

Yao Hui was appointed as the commander of Jing Zhao. Wei Xiang, the imperial historian of the same dynasty, played the emperor and said that although Yaohui was a descendant of Tang Yao, Emperor Yao was one of the five emperors of ancient times, and he was the most holy of the hundred saints, and Yaohui should also avoid Wei.

So Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty added a "food" to the left of "Yao" (traditional for "Yao"), which became "Rao" (traditional for "Rao"), and gave Yao Hu to change his surname to "Rao", as the ancestor of the surname Rao, promoted to Taifu, and issued an edict to the whole country, requiring all those with the surname "Yao" in the world to change their surnames to "Rao".

This is good, the emperor ordered, and those surnamed Yao in the world had to change their surname to Rao.

"Okay......" Liu Wei stretched out his hand and helped the shopkeeper Sun up, he didn't expect this reward to be so lethal, he patted the ash on his knee for Sun Gong, and after a moment of silence, he ordered: "Old Sun, make all the signature dishes of Tongfu Inn and pack them into the food box, I have a lot of use." ”

"No." Shopkeeper Sun respectfully retreated and closed the door smoothly.

"Lao Huang, don't be restrained, come and sit and taste the things of your own industry." Liu Wei beckoned to the big man standing there silently at the door with his small hand.

The big man at the door is the escort transferred from Jingzhou that Liu Wei personally asked for by his cheap daddy, a native of Changsha, surnamed Huang Hansheng!

"The villain is just a guard, and he should not sit with His Highness." Huang Zhong himself can't figure it out, he is quite famous in Changsha, but Changsha County is thousands of miles away from Luoyang. Huang Zhong is an upright person, repeatedly recruited officials to suppress him, and he does not disdain to bribe others.

How to reach the heavens was known by this distinguished four-year-old child, and he desperately wanted to dig it to be his own guard.

But Huang Zhong still had to come, the captain who had not dealt with him before, Lang Jiang, and the large and small officials in the Changsha officialdom all ran to him, forgive the sins, forgive the relationship, and want to talk to himself, so that he can give himself a few good words in front of the royal family.

Just these few words, this is more useful than doing it yourself. also made Huang Zhongzhong sigh that the most desolate place in the world is officialdom......

"Childe tells you to sit, you sit. Others can't sit if they want to! Rao Wen, who was about to become a little transparent, couldn't help muttering, it was obvious that he was the "other person".

"Hey! Lao Huang, Er is the personal guard of this son, and his net worth and life are handed over to Er's guard, why can't he sit together? Liu Wei used his young strength to pull Huang Hansheng to the opposite seat and sat down.

Although the Han Dynasty already had a Hu bed, the stools and chairs were not yet popular, and Liu Wei began to feel that kneeling and sitting were more stylish. But it still doesn't work, your legs are numb, you sit in a standard kneeling position for two or three hours, you sit, you are numb. What about your little arms and legs?

Under the banner of understanding his father, Liu Wei "invented" a chair and stool and dedicated it to his cheap daddy. As soon as Daddy was pleased, he did as he pleased, and rewarded him with the freedom to recruit guards. Huang Zhong was depressed at this time, and was promoted to Luoyang to serve as a guard from Changsha County, thousands of miles away.

"Gongzi Xie." Although Huang Zhong was very depressed about being a guard, he still fulfilled his duties, and others wanted to exchange the lieutenant for a position that was estimated to be unacceptable, and the personal guard of the eldest son of the emperor had a great responsibility and a bright future. This is like the most elite soldier in 8341, let alone who is guarding? The eldest son of the emperor, the heir to the throne with natural advantages.

"The villain is rude."

"Oh, what are so many words, taste it!"

As a native of Jingzhou, Huang Zhong is naturally familiar with fresh fish, so he stretched out his chopsticks and sandwiched a piece of fish meat to taste.

The people of the Han Dynasty liked to eat river fresh food and even seafood. Sashimi is the favorite of many scholars, and Huang Zhong naturally has eaten it. If this pot of "boiled Yellow River carp" is in modern times, it is estimated that few people can eat it, after all, pure wild Yellow River carp is already very rare.

Well? Huang Zhong couldn't help but sandwich a large piece of it and eat it heartily, the unique fresh fragrance and unique spicinessness of the Yellow River carp conquered the taste of this fierce general. When he saw Liu Wei on the opposite side looking at him with a smile, Huang Zhong blushed a little, put down his chopsticks ruthlessly, and sat down precariously and admonished: "Gongzi is naturally noble, these lowly businessmen should not be close to Gongzi." ”

Huang Zhong despised the merchants, it should be said that basically most of the Han Dynasty people had a hostile attitude towards the merchants, first, as a country of agriculture, if everyone went to business, the cultivated area would be reduced, and there would be a famine, which would be like the sky falling for the country.

Note that there were no countries around the Han Dynasty that could import a lot of grain, unlike today, where we can import a lot of grain outward, to the rice country, to Southeast Asia. Therefore, although the Han Dynasty had a population of only tens of millions, it was extremely correct to adhere to the policy of agriculture.

Liu Wei put away his smile, sighed, and asked, "Lao Huang, you have also come all the way, what do you think of Luoyang?" ”

"Magnificent, rich, magnificent!" Huang Zhong thought for a moment and gave such a word. When he first set foot on the capital of his country, he was shocked by the fact that anyone who had given himself before was poor, since Ah Xiu moved the capital to Luoyang, it has been nearly two hundred years, the Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and the national capital also moved back and forth in Xianyang, Chang'an, and Luoyang. This situation continued until the Tang Dynasty.

"Yes, Xianyang and Chang'an were so magnificent back then, and they were ......" But where did they go? Chen Sheng and Wu Guang revolted, Wang Mang rebelled, one after another destroyed a national capital, and then there were eighteen princes against Dong, the people of Luoyang were forcibly relocated, Luoyang City was burned, the tombs of the first emperors and concubines of the Han dynasty were dug up, treasures were stolen, and bones were exposed to the wilderness. Whose face is this? Whose gas is this loss?

Capable and aspiring courtiers who still had illusions and loyalty to the royal family, (Sun Jian, Cao Cao...... Almost all of their hearts were burned to the ground in this fire.

They naturally think that the so-called brilliant and mighty, although far away will be punished, is nothing more than that! Even the alien race also sees it this way, the former slaves who have been chained up in the South Xiongnu dare to go south to Muma Guanzhong, burn, kill and loot, Cai Yan was plundered, and he made eighteen beats of Hu Ji. In the bleak song, it is also the "Chu voice of the Han Dynasty", which is the personal tragedy of Wen Ji and the tragedy of the Han Dynasty. To keep the Han Dynasty, you must keep Luoyang.

"You see this car coming and going, the capital of the Han Dynasty is prosperous, but I don't know that dozens of people have died of cold and starvation for days, the tiger prison passes, tens of thousands of disaster victims have been blocked outside the pass, chaos, natural disasters, and the imperial court tax revenue has been insufficient. The princes of the imperial court and the local powerful families will be willing to donate money for disaster relief? Although Liu Wei's words were calm, they hit the nail on the head.

In order to pacify the Qiang Rebellion in Liangzhou and Bingzhou, the national strength of the Eastern Han Dynasty was almost dragged down. In the early years of Yongchu, Zhuqiang rebelled, and it has been four years out of ten, with a cost of 24 billion yuan;

At the end of Yonghe, after another seven years, more than 8 billion dollars were used. Ma Xian, the general of the expedition to the west, conquered the Qiang people and froze the tribe, and he and his two sons were all killed on the battlefield, which inspired the Qiang people's continuous rebellion.

Huangfu Gui and Zhang Huan advocated pacification, but many Qiang people surrendered and rebelled, rebelled and surrendered. Liangzhou's territory in the Eastern Han Dynasty was larger than that of Gansu now, but the population was only a little more than 20,000 people.

Duan Xi, who is also the "Sanming of Liangzhou", advocated the use of force, killing the Qiang people so that they did not dare to rebel, and taught the Qiang people to be human beings with swords for many years, and suppressed the Qiang people again. And the imperial court was actually poor, and had to pay money from the Pingzang Mansion (Imperial Inner Treasury) to support military spending. Another forty-four billion dollars were spent. You must know that the population of the Han Dynasty was only about forty or fifty million, and tens of billions of dollars were spent at every turn! The treasury of the imperial court has long been poor.
