Chapter 108: Long Yang Visits
This is the reason why Yao Jia rushed to Pingliang at night, and the military situation was urgent and could not destroy the agreement between him and Yun Yue not to destroy the Yun family's trade. Yao Jia was also helpless, he wanted to use the power of the imperial court to suppress Li Si, and gain a little psychological advantage in negotiations in the future, but he didn't expect it to be self-defeating, which angered this big man who was respected in Pingliang.
"He wants our caravan to help transport troops?" Yun Yue thought of everything, but she didn't think of this. It seems that those vassal states in the east have made new moves, and it is very good, this is the best way to relieve pressure on yourself. In Yongdu, hundreds of thousands of Qin troops were pressed, and Yun Yue had a feeling that the knife was hanging over his head. These Qin troops were not Donghu people, although they were slightly inferior in field capabilities. But urban offense and defense are definitely their strengths, if these guys come to attack Pingliang City. That would be a dead man, and both the attacker and himself would suffer heavy losses.
"Yao Jia seems to have other requirements, but this one is the most urgent. He hoped to be able to meet Hou Ye in person, but it seemed that Xianyang was in a hurry. ”
"How many carriages does our family have in Xianyang?"
"The Great Treasurer of Wusun sent out seven hundred carriages some time ago, most of them heavy carriages. Only a hundred vehicles were light cars, in which guards sit. It was loaded with goods to be transported to the state of Chu. "Before he came, Lees had already done his homework. Yun Yue asked and answered fluently.
"The flying pigeon sent a message to Xiao Pang that the carriage could be lent to the imperial court. The driver is also from our family, and then let him gather 100 carriages in Xianyang, and make up 800 carriages for the imperial court to transfer troops. But there is one thing, the court has to pay. Now he is begging us, this knife must be ruthless. Didn't the old fisher say that there was not enough copper? Let Xiao Pang ask the court for copper, three thousand catties and one catty are not less. You immediately arrange a car and go to Xianyang to pick up the goods. Yun Yue said with a smile.
It is natural to pull the cart to give money, and besides, the court has to beg itself at this time. Yun Yue didn't mind slaughtering Jing Eryi fiercely, thinking that hundreds of thousands of troops were about to leave Yongdu and go to the east to continue fighting. Yun Yue's heart blossomed happily, which not only relieved Yun Yue's pressure. It also opened up a new source of wealth for Yun Yue, and the most profitable trade in the later world was the arms trade.
"Huh! Hou Ye's move is good, Li Si will do it. As soon as Li Si heard this, he immediately understood Yun Yue's thoughts, and when he returned to the office, he wrote a letter to Xiao Pang. Of course, because of Yao Jia's attitude. The three thousand catties of copper that Yun Yue asked for became four thousand catties, and I don't know if Jing Er would bite Yao Jia to death after knowing the inside story.
Wusun Ji sat behind the desk, wearing a silk robe. There was no crown on his head, and his wire-like hair was coiled into a bun and strung with a white hosta. This home outfit looks very casual, which makes Wusun Jichang more free and easy.
There were dragons in the room, and the sun was shining through the huge glass windows. The conservatory is filled with a variety of flowers, making you feel like you're in summer. The contrast between the snow outside the window and the red flowers and green leaves inside the window makes it a little confusing to know the season.
There is dog meat on the table, and a huge copper hot pot is "grunting". The fiery sesame oil rolled with the heat wave, and the frozen tofu floating on the top was full of oil and was fished out by the maid with a colander. This thing is used to absorb oil, and it can't be eaten at all. Yun Yue warned Wusun Ji Chang that eating this thing is easy to get gout.
What gout is, Wusun Jichang doesn't understand, but it's right to listen to my brother. So far, Yun Yue has not missed what he said.
In addition to dog meat, there are more than a dozen small plates on the table, vegetables, vermicelli, cut noodles, kelp slices, shrimp...... There is even a square pottery plate containing a plate of newly cultivated enoki mushrooms. This thing is very chewy when it comes out of the mouth, and Wusun Jichang likes it the most. Of course, if you eat it with cooked vermicelli in your mouth. That's a different flavor!
Sitting at the head of Wusun Ji is an extremely bewitching ...... Man! This thing was born with crooked willow eyebrows, and its eyes like apricot kernels were sloppy. It seems to be wrapped in a puddle of water, and a man will think about it when he sees it. Coupled with the skin like snow, the two small braids of thin powder del are hidden in the waterfall-like hair. Which girl has this appearance, she will definitely be called a disaster for the country and the people.
Yes, this person is famous through the ages. The originator of the back mountain, a well-known closet master in the Warring States Period...... Long Yangjun!
Wusun Ji Chang traveled to the six countries to sell the Yun family's meritorious products, so he naturally had many dealings with the powerful people of various countries. Don't look at the Wei State has been fighting for many years, but because it is located in the Central Plains with fertile land. The products are very abundant, and although they have been defeated year after year, their national strength has not been greatly reduced. The life of the upper-class nobles was many times more luxurious than that of Great Qin.
"Your Majesty, this is our cool copper hot pot. This is called a spicy pot, and you may not be used to eating it. The one on your table is called the Mandarin Duck Pot, and the milky white one is the broth made from mutton. The red one is as spicy as I am here. Whichever side you are used to eating, you will order the ingredients on which side. "Although this kind of thing has been made by Yun Yue for many years, it has not yet spread among other nobles. One of the reasons is that the production of chili peppers is limited, which simply cannot meet the demand of other regions except Daqin. Without spicy, of course, the charm of hot pot is greatly reduced. It is also reasonable that it is not respected by the nobles of various countries.
After Wusun Ji Chang finished speaking, he threw in a thinly sliced piece of mutton. The chopsticks are rinsed in and they are cooked quickly. As soon as he dipped it in the sauce bowl, he threw it into his mouth to demonstrate to these warring turtles. Seeing that Long Yangjun was ignorant and learning to eat by himself, Yun Yue's sense of superiority instantly descended on Wusun Jichang.
Long Yangjun followed the example of Wusun Jichang, cooked a piece of mutton and dipped it in the sesame sauce. The eyes suddenly opened, and immediately got a lot of mutton down.
Long Yangjun and Wusun Jichang are not the only ones in the flower room, and if Wusun Jichang is killed, he will not be alone with Longyangjun. If there is any scandal between the two, Wusun Jichang will definitely commit suicide.
Sitting at the head of Long Yangjun was a woman in red, dressed in a Shu brocade dress. The jet-black hair was casually coiled around the head, and a white hosta was also inserted. The black hair like a waterfall hung down on his shoulders, and his smiling eyes narrowed into a slit. Fingers like green onions covered her thin lips, and it was obvious that she was not quite used to the spicy taste. But the first time this girl tried hot pot, she dared to eat the spicy side. It looks like an assertive master!
Wusun Ji has been a businessman for many years, and he still has some ability to observe people in detail when he travels all over the six countries. (To be continued.) )
