After seeing the construction site, the two nobles who visited did not say much.

The little official was originally curious, but after going to see the shack where the widows lived, his expression changed, and he seemed to be a little dissatisfied with the living environment. When I turned to look at the lunch on the construction site today, my face was even more ugly.

In Heiichiro's opinion, today's food on the construction site is much better than usual. It turned out to be dry rice, and there was salted fish and radish soup, which was the food of craftsmen of all sizes some time ago - the food of the big workers was even better, and there was an extra pot of meat and vegetables. And the women and children who do miscellaneous work only eat gruel and small pieces of pickled vegetables and salted fish.

But in the eyes of the little official, he still frowned, "That's all it takes today, you can imagine what it's like on weekdays." ”

Next to him, his uncle Feng Dadong's family was very good at being a person, and comforted: "When they start to work, they will naturally be able to eat good food and good food." It is already rare that the Chen Dong family can give up their old money and provide them with three meals a day. In many places, the peasants are busy helping, and the landlord's family will only give them two meals a day. ”

Although the Han minor official was still dissatisfied, he didn't dare to disobey his uncle's words, nodded and was taught, but he was unwilling to secretly glared at Heiichiro's master.

Heiichiro's owner saw that the atmosphere was embarrassing, so he hurriedly lowered his head and bent over, stepped forward to laugh and said a lot of soft words, and then slapped his eyes sharply, and let Heiichiro help him, which was the perfunctory past of this little ancestor.

However, Han Xiaoguan's curiosity was still restrained, and he became like his uncle, who didn't have too many words, just looked at it and didn't say anything.

Heiichiro's host could only rub his hands together and smile and ask the two guests to get on the boat first.

The boat was a river boat, and it had previously carried a group of people from the annex next to Matsue to the construction site here. By noon, the banquet was ready and waiting for the host and guests to take their seats.

When the banquet was about to start, several other big proprietors who were scheduled to settle down in the Warenfang got the news out of nowhere and ran one after another.

One of the big proprietors, three points fatter than the owner of Ping Yizhi, can only reach the chest, looks like a ball, on weekdays, every step has to take three breaths, but when Heiichiro looked at the shore, he was shocked to find that he was riding a fast horse, not only when he got off the horse, he was about to die, even the horse below was about to die.

The situation of the other big owners is similar, and they are all in a hurry. There are two people who share a car and boat, pedaling with human feet, and the speed on the water is like flying. The other man also took a fast boat, and two rows of oarsmen rowed the narrow boat, which had a dragon head in front of it, almost out of the water, so smooth that it seemed to be gliding on the ice.

When these people came to the boat, they only exchanged a few words of sneering greetings with Heiichiro's master, and then hurriedly stepped forward to salute the two guests.

The nobles who usually spend a lot of money, or like to brag about how high their brother's status is in the capital, in front of the two guests, they are as humble as the servants who have seen their masters, and they are all obedient.

Seeing this scene, Heiichiro didn't understand how noble the two guests who came over today were. It's just that in the greetings and greetings of the proprietor, they all avoided the identities of the two guests, and they didn't even mention a word. By doing so, they also let Heiichiro understand the status of the guests from another angle.

There were a few more guests out of thin air, but the guests and hosts did not delay in taking their seats. The chef on the ship was specially hired by Heiichiro's owner from Yangzhou City, and he had already prepared the extra materials.

Heiichiro pinched his chopsticks and sat at the bottom, although he was one of the future managers of the silk factory, he was still a servant, and to have a seat here was indeed promoted. However, with his old identity, he was only able to sit at the table, and Heiichiro was not to the point of being flattered.

This is a formal feast, look at the plate, dried and fresh fruits, salty and sour preserved fruits, cold dishes, hot dishes, according to the formal procedures one by one, after a tour of wine, then change to two new dishes. The exchange of dishes made Heiichiro dizzy, even a few years ago, he was still a very noble status, and he had never enjoyed such a rich banquet in the court.

It's no wonder that when he was in Japan, his master took him to the banquet of the Khitan officials, and when he came out, he disdained and sneered. The banquet that day had already amazed Heiichiro, and he didn't dare to regard the Khitan as a barbarian. And today, the banquet of the Khitan people is not known how far behind.

However, for Heiichiro, this banquet is still a little worse.

Even though it's right next to the river, and even though it's not far from the East China Sea, the most popular fish is not served on the table at all, and even if there are fish and shrimp, it's all steamed and boiled dishes.

Heiichiro's master likes fish fish the most on weekdays, eats sea fish when he goes to Japan, and eats river fish when he returns to China, according to his master, the best taste of fish in the world is the Yellow River carp made by Kaifeng Xixi Building, but that can only be eaten when entering Beijing.

In order to suit the taste of the distinguished guests, even the menu was changed. When it comes to this field, how noble are the identities of those two? Heiichiro's heart became more and more curious.

After drinking seventeen or eighteen rounds of wine, the Feng Dadong family seemed to have some wine, pointed to the dish plate and asked Heiichiro's owner, "I heard that Chen Dongjia you love to eat fish belly the most, and you don't have any food at every meal, why don't you see it today?" ”

Heiichiro's owner accompanied him with a smiling face, "I'm afraid that the guests won't be used to eating, so I won't be on it." If the big proprietor wants, there is also a chef with the best knife skills on this boat, and he can cut the freshly caught river fish to make fish belly. ”

"That's it, don't bother." Feng Dadongjia waved his hand, "Except in Jingshi and the township, I only eat hot cooked food, and I only drink boiling water, otherwise, how many people can go south and north for more than ten years without any serious illness?" ”

One of the proprietors hurriedly bowed his hand and said, "Thank you to the big proprietor, I have learned another trick in the next place." ”

A group of nobles laughed flatteringly, and Feng Dadong waved his hand indifferently, "Just learn, my cousin is looking forward to everyone learning." Brother Chen, your habit of eating fish is the same as Ouyang Liuyigong. There is a cook in the 61 public family, who is the best at making fish tart. The one who put the monkey into the cloth bag would come to the door every few days with the fish, and he wanted to taste the cook's handiwork......"

Feng Dadong's family talked about the ancients, and several proprietors smiled and nodded, and talked playfully.

Heiichiro didn't know who they were talking about. If it was a famous Tang scholar, he would know it, but Japan and China have not been connected for a long time, and today's anecdotes are ignorant.

He only noticed Feng Dadong's accent, which was completely different from the standard official dialect he had just heard after drinking.

Heiichiro can hear and speak both Min and Wu languages, which is also the most common Chinese dialect spoken by merchants who come to Japan. And Luoyang Yayin, the official language of China, although he has not been in contact for a long time, he can barely listen to and speak.

The current accent of Feng Dadong's family is different from the several Han dialects that Heiichiro knows, but it is closer to Luoyang Yayin.

I guess it's a northern dialect.

Heiichiro analyzed the other party's identity little by little with great interest.

However, knowing that the banquet was over and the guests were drunk, he couldn't find out the key to revealing the other party's identity from the words at the banquet. I only know that it is a very noble person.

Even Heiichiro, knowing that there was a person in the Great Song Dynasty whose surname was Han, who was extremely noble, and was said to be the reincarnation of a Bodhisattva, he did not dare to be disrespectful in the Khitan population. But Heiichiro didn't think that the two guests would be from the noble family, how could they be mixed up with the merchants?

Maybe it was because he remembered that one at night, so the next day there was nothing to do, so Heiichiro went to the street to find a bookstore and entered. Among the wide variety of books, the authorship of the one was specially selected.

Just as he picked up a novel that was unsigned, but sworn by the bookkeeper that it was written by him, he heard someone behind him,

"These books are forbidden to be bought, and if you report your purchase of books, even your owner will be punished. You'd better be cautious, your master is not wrong. ”

Heiichiro hurriedly put down the book, and when he looked back, he saw that it was the Han Xiaoguan from yesterday.

A handsome and tall young man, his body is still plain, and he can't see any ornaments, only his hand, and he holds a folding fan out of place. Behind him, there were two fierce companions, who were looking at him vigilantly.

Heiichiro hurriedly stepped forward to salute, and Han Xiaoguan took the salute and pointed to the few books he had just selected, "Don't buy these books, it will harm your master." Although no one cares about this ban of the imperial court, if someone sues it first, it is impossible for the yamen to ignore it. ”

Before Heiichiro could speak, the bookstore worker next to him heard it, and hurriedly squeezed between Heiichiro and the bookshelf, glaring at him vigilantly.

At this time, Ziheichiro couldn't buy a few more books he liked, and came out of the study in frustration, not daring to complain about Han Xiaoguan, but looking back at the bookstore, he couldn't help but be a little reluctant.

"If you want to read a book, you need to get your household registration first." Han Xiaoguan said, "With the household registration of the Great Song Dynasty, it can be regarded as a Chinese person." is no longer a foreigner, so naturally you can buy whatever you want. ”

"Thank you for your advice." Heiichiro thanked him respectfully.

Han Xiaoguan waved his hand, "Don't thank you so quickly, this is indeed a way, but an outsider, if you want to get a Chinese household registration, where is it so easy." I don't know how many years it will take. ”

"But it's a thought." Heiichiro sighed.

Han Xiaoguanren narrowed his eyes, and there was a curious look in his eyes, "You said before that you were an ordinary person in the Wa Kingdom, I don't believe it, you don't talk like it at all." Now, it's even harder to believe. Those who can read and write, only 12 out of 10 men in the Great Song Dynasty, I don't think an ordinary Wa Guoshu can read through Han books. ”

Heiichiro opened his mouth and stammered for a long time, but he didn't say why, "...... Villain ......"

"Forget it, anyway, there is no Wa Kingdom now, it doesn't matter what your identity is."

Han Xiaoguan was kind and gently let go, but it made Heiichiro's face pale.

There was a startling sound, and there was a subdued and frustrated voice from the restaurant in front of the side, "Say that Song Jiang ......"

Han Xiaoguan was distracted, and when he looked up, the second floor of the restaurant was full of people. "It turned out that it was about the Nine Domains, and it was the "Travels in the Nine Domains" that you just wanted to buy."

"Is it the "Nine Domains" written by Han Xianggong?"

"Is there anything else? The world is divided into Kyushu, and there are Kyushu under Kyushu, and the Chixian Shenzhou where the Great Song Dynasty lives is only one of the small Kyushu. Han Xianggong was an immortal in his early years, traveled around the ninety-nine-eighty-one states, and after he came back, he knew everything, created a big career, and became the prime minister. Han Xianggong has always been broad-minded, and he does not cherish himself, and he wrote this "Nine Domains" under his name, hoping that others can also have his opportunity. ”

Han Xiaoguan snickered as he spoke, and the smile on his lips made his words only one or two points credible. But he had heard these words from others.

"Han Xianggong also said that he would build a steamboat."

"Steam ships, although they have not been built yet, will soon have steam cars. The Liao people are learning to build steam engines. The emperors of the Liao State said that as long as they could build a steam engine, they could be crowned kings, and they could choose one of the Wa Kingdom and Goryeo. ”

Han Xiaoguan said proudly, but as he spoke, he pursed his lips and laughed. Heiichiro felt a pain in his heart when he heard it, and the old thief Yelu actually wanted to give his country to the craftsman.

But if it's a weapon like artillery, it's definitely worth it, even if it's a rippling gift.

"It's a pity that they wasted their efforts, or did I build the steam engine first." Han Xiaoguan said proudly, "If you have the heart, just take half an hour every day to listen to it, and you will definitely get something." ”

Heiichiro looked at him, knelt down suddenly, and bowed solemnly. For no reason, how can he harm himself, he can only point out, thinking of Han Xiaoguan's reaction on the construction site yesterday, he is even more convinced. The strategy of restoring and governing the country may lie in this.

"Thank you to the little official, the villain will definitely listen carefully."
