Chapter 168: I Don't Want to Be Controlled (Ask for Everything)

Zhumen's wine and meat stink, and there are frozen bones on the road.

This phrase will always be present in the human species.

The clans of the Baidi tribe would rather leave the grain to be moldy and the fruit to rot than to give the slightest alms to the slaves who could not feed their hunger.

So he let the food fruits and vegetables traded by the Bai Di Department from the various departments of Liaodong become wine, and then hoarded them in the mansions and palaces of various clans.

At that time, when the palace was seized, in addition to various gems, ores and grains, the most harvested was the brewed fruit wine.

But the taste of this fruit wine is really indescribable, Wang Xu purified it again by distillation, and finally it can barely be eaten.

Wine is not very useful for Guzhu Country at present, in addition to being able to purify a large amount of disinfectant alcohol, the rest can be used as the same drink as flower tea.

Watching people after drinking is an experience summed up in the social exchanges of later generations, so at this banquet, Wang Xu specially took out the treasured wine to entertain the Bai Di clan.

These clan women also regard fruit wine as a drink on weekdays, but those fruit wines that do not exceed ten degrees can only be regarded as drinks after all, and they are stunned when they meet Wang Xu's distilled and purified wine.

This is still Wang Xu's fear that they will be drunk, so he deliberately blended some wine.

However, I have to say that these clan women are indeed heroes among women, and after discovering that they are not strong enough to drink, they are not greedy at all.

Therefore, Wang Xu gave Mo Lian a small means of persuading people to drink and understand people, but the effect was not too good, instead of intoxicating Zhou Hong'er and them, Mo Lian himself drank a little too much.

After sending everyone away, his cheeks were red, and he sat down next to Wang Xu and stared at him and smirked.

After the young lady who cleaned up the table took a look at them, she quietly retreated with the others, leaving the hall empty, leaving them behind.

Qing Niang's small movements naturally couldn't hide from Wang Xu's eyes.

Turning his head to look at Mo Lian, who was smiling like a little fool, Wang Xu said helplessly, pinched her nose and chuckled, "Greedy cup." ”

"Hey, hey, hey." Mo Lian let out a silly laugh that she usually wouldn't make, and looked at Wang Xu drunkenly, "It's not that the ministers are greedy for cups, it's really Zhou Hong'er who is too cunning." ”

"If you can't persuade you to drink, you will be poured it?" Wang Xu raised his eyebrows slightly, and said in a soft voice, "Is it uncomfortable?" ”

"No, it's a little burnt, but it's fine." Mo Lianhan smiled and leaned over, lying on Wang Xu's eyes like a kitten, and burped, "Except for the Zhou clan and the Mo clan, Bai Di's other clans are already a little unbearable, there are no workers to help, they are ready to find something to do on their own." ”

"Let them go to the canteen first, whether it is to eat or eat in the canteen, they must always eat a pot of food, so that they can be regarded as a family." Wang Xumo wore ink and pity some rough long hair.

Years of malnutrition have made her hair very dry, this is not something that can be adjusted overnight, Wang Xu has had to cut her hair short many times, and every time she is provincial, she will blow up her hair and affect her image, but she has been unwilling.

"Well, I don't know what to be satisfied with a group of guys who don't work and eat, and they keep mentioning to me how glorious their clan is, what contributions their ancestors have made to this city, it's obvious that the dove has occupied the magpie's nest for less than two hundred years, it's too shameless." Mo Lian muttered dissatisfiedly.

"The aristocracy is like this, they think they are the leaders of the people, without them all will die, regard the survival of others as their own gifts, and put themselves above the people, but they don't know, even without them, people can resolutely live, maybe they can live better, after all, the best farmer, the best mulberry girl, the best cook, and even the best scholars, they were not born nobles at the beginning, and they are all the same people for a thousand years." Wang Xu gently touched Mo Lian's long hair and helped her press her temples to relieve the wine, "So what? What do they want to do? ”

"Zhou Hong'er wants to teach in the Academy." Mo Lian shook her little head comfortably and looked up at Wang Xu.

Wang Xu's heart beat sluggishly, pressed her head down again, and snorted softly, "Sure enough, everyone is beautiful, and her plans are far-reaching, you can see your own value clearly, and you can also see the shortcomings of Lone Bamboo, tsk." ”

"Hmm~" Mo Lian, who was pressed on her head, let out a dissatisfied mutter, and rubbed on Wang Xu's thigh, "The emperor also thinks she is very cunning?" ”

Wang Xu smiled, "It's really cunning, but it's better." ”

"Hmph." Mo Lian let out a coquettish snort, "Then I can't agree to her anymore." ”

"Oh? Why? Wang Xu looked down at her blushing little face with interest.

"The emperor said that the school palace is the foundation of the country, how can you let the cunning people be presumptuous?" Mo Lian snorted coldly, "Even if there is an urgent shortage of gentlemen in the school palace now, there is no need for those who already have plans. ”

"Then what do you think the gentleman of the school palace should be like?" Wang Xu asked with a smile.

"Well, honest, diligent, and pure-hearted people." Mo Lian blinked.

"But the more books you read, the more pictures you have, you are also a reader, you should understand, what were you thinking when the country of Lonely Bamboo was still down?" Wang Xu asked softly, because he clearly felt Mo Lian's body stiffen.

"Thinking about how to take your people down." Mo Lian's drunken soft voice suddenly became low, and his hand subconsciously grabbed Wang Xu's knees.

"But what they think about every day is how to hunt more prey, the same to live, but the height is no longer the same." Wang Xu said softly: "This is the difference between reading and not reading. ”

"So, the reader is destined to be cunning? How much do you want? Mo Lian looked up at Wang Xu.

"Scholars don't become cunning, because they keep refreshing the definition of cunning in order to achieve what they want." Wang Xu sighed softly and touched her hot cheeks, "And it is difficult to put an end to this cycle, because if you want to lead the people to live, you have to read and think more truths." ”

Mo Lian blinked her moist eyes, as if she hadn't understood.

"It's hard to find a child's heart in the world." Wang Xu smiled helplessly and shook his head: "What about the affairs of Jizi Korea?" ”

"Their mouths are very strict, and I didn't ask for too much information, but in the end, I directly picked it out, and Zhou Honger didn't respond, but hinted." There was a sense of unwillingness in Mo Lian's tone.

"Take her to the Wutong Palace to have a look." Wang Xu narrowed his eyes, and his voice was slightly cold.

Wutong Palace, which was the shelter where Wang Xu promised Mo Lian to accommodate those poor slave women, has now become the base of the Fire Phoenix Department, and the location is in the Longtan Waterfall when he first entered the ancestral mountain, where it has now been built into a small city with a cave, and the location is secret.

Hearing Wang Xu say this, Mo Lian was startled, looked up and asked in surprise, "Take her to Wutong Palace?" ”

"Well, at least let her take a look, and if they leave Guzhu, they may face the fate." Wang Xu squinted, hiding the indifference in his eyes.

Mo Lian blinked, staring at Wang Xu's cold side face a little stupid, until he burped and lowered his head shyly, "I know, but I took them through Chaoge?" Or take the Limhuburg road? ”

"Go from Chaoge, and by the way, let them see Chaoge that is still under construction." Wang Xu said with a smile.

"Okay, by the way, the monarch asked someone to bring a message today, saying that he felt that he was going to die, and he wanted to see the emperor before returning to heaven, but I refused." Mo Lian muttered again, "But it did remind me of one thing, it seems that it is almost the spring ploughing season, and I am about to start preparing for the spring ploughing sacrifice." ”

"Sacrifice again?" Wang Xu had a headache on his forehead, he almost caught a cold after the last Golden Terrace departure ceremony, although he knew that the sacrifice was indeed very important, but it was so frequent, it did give him a headache.

Now he finally knows why later generations evaluate the emperor and think that they ignore the government and politics, so many sacrificial rules may occupy one-third of the time, and then remove the sleep time, the time to be able to deal with the government is indeed not too much, so looking at it, the emperor is also a drudgery to a certain extent.

Wang Xu was distracted, Mo Lian was lying on his lap and muttering about the process of the ceremony, making the candles in the entire hall gentle, and an inexplicable warm atmosphere surrounded the hall.

When Wang Xu came back to his senses, he found that Mo Lian had fallen asleep on his lap and was snoring.

Looking at the girl's bright cheeks because of drunkenness, the gentleness in Wang Xu's eyes gradually increased, and he gently took off his robe and draped it on her body, and then picked up the ipad beside him and carefully studied the map.

According to the map of archaeological documents, the birthplace of civilization in the ancient Northeast is mainly concentrated in the Liao River, the Ussuri River and the Songhua River, and the Yanjiang River Basin, which are all tribal groups of ancient civilizations, and the location of these tribal groups should be the main gathering place of the ancient peoples in the Northeast later.

After all, even Liaodong, which has been developed by the Yan State for hundreds of years, is still a large primeval jungle, not to mention the northeast region, which is more sparsely populated and more backward in civilization, and the environment should be in a more ancient state, basically a difficult environment where humans and beasts coexist in the forest.

However, this environment has also forged the fierceness and toughness of these fishing and hunting peoples, basically as long as they are in the mountains and forests, they are invincible, so the army of Lone Bamboo must definitely pull the battlefield to the plain area, or fight a war of attrition, constantly cutting down the forest, and forcing them out of the mountains and forests.

Although there are only a few thousand people, as long as they rely on the strength of the city wall and the advantage of bronze, there is still not much pressure to kill the barbarians wielding wooden sticks and stone tools.

But after the development of Jizi Korea, those ancient barbarians naturally also enjoyed the radiation benefits of civilization, although the degree of advancement is not as good as the Central Plains, but it is also difficult, after all, there are more ants and can bite the elephant to death.

Guzhu Country resolutely put an end to unnecessary sacrifices, so this time when he went out of the customs and entered Liao, Wang Xu was more cautious than when he walked out of Xilin.

Because he had indeed underestimated the power of ancient civilization and barbarism before, if he hadn't been lucky enough to pick up Wang Li's lucky star, then he might have taken the people of the Lonely Bamboo Country to die in the belly of the beast.

Thinking of Wang Li, Wang Xu's fingers trembled slightly, and then he frowned and pulled the map up to the Luanhe River and the Daxinganling Mountains, but he didn't know where they went.

It was moved to Chengde, that is, the estimated location of Liaoyang City, which was the main battlefield of the tripartite battle between Qin, Yan, Donghu and Hu.

Then move southwest to the junction of Tianjin and Beijing, according to historical facts, there should be 400,000 troops garrisoned by the Qi army here, watching the fire on the other side, and the capital of Qi is Linzi, which should have been besieged by Meng Tian's strange soldiers at this time.

Wang Xu felt that every time his fingers swiped the screen, Huaxia would undergo a very subtle change.

Finally, I put my eyes on Xianyang, which was very small on the map.

These changes all stem from this city that can only be turned into a small point in the land of China, because there is a man in the city.

A man who is gradually controlling the whole of China.

Wang Xu may have also drunk a little wine, Wang Xu felt that his qi and blood seemed to be more fluent, and his eyes flashed with flickering heat.

He, on the other hand, does not want to be controlled.
