Regarding the matter of Zhen Qian and the Tang envoys sent to the Japanese Kingdom, Fujiwara Shuxiong had already told the two Tang ambassadors that for security reasons, naturally they would not say it in the presence of outsiders, let alone in front of a woman in a green house, this kind of thing would not happen.

Zhen Qian saw Fujiwara Shuxiong looking at him, and immediately spoke: "If Fujiwara-kun is okay tomorrow, can you accompany me?" ”

Fujiwara Shuxiong was about to open his mouth to inquire about this matter, but he didn't expect Zhen Qian to say it first, knowing that this kind of thing made it a little inappropriate for the two Tang ambassadors to come forward, so he nodded and said: "There are many connections between the Japanese and the maritime merchants, and I also want to visit the Yangzhou maritime merchant Zhang's family!" ”

As he spoke, the wine and food were placed in front of him one after another, a tripod like a square, about half a foot high, one foot long and one foot wide, made of brass, divided into nine squares of the same size, and the inside was steaming, smelling! I felt that the pores of my sweat were all opened, and there was red charcoal burning underneath, just enough to keep warm, and there were plates of washed and thinly sliced meat and vegetables around me.

"What is this?" In addition to Kibi Zhenbei and Fujiwara Kiyohe, Yuerong and Fujiwara Shuo have seen hot pot, but the shape of the hot pot in front of them is a bit peculiar, and I don't know what to say.

"This is also a hot pot, called Jiugongge, the taste of each square is different, and you can also adjust it according to each person's taste preferences. There are several seasonings in front of you, such as green onions, ginger, garlic, sugar, salt, peppercorns, pepper, chili oil, etc., and the seasonings are different in taste. I like to eat with a tongue, and I always think about some delicious ingredients. ”

Zhen Qian likes to use chili oil made of dogwood, plus garlic, sesame seeds, and ......, and quickly concocted a bowl of condiments suitable for his taste, which stumped other people, and it was the first time I had seen such a way to eat.

Seeing that everyone didn't know how to do it, Zhen Qian asked a few people about their tastes and helped a few people make a bowl, "Everyone has their own favorite taste, this is what we often say: it is difficult to adjust the taste, but with such a way of eating, you won't worry about the different tastes of each one!" ”

"What a whimsy!" Fujiwara praised him, skillfully picked up a thin piece of mutton, soaked it in the clear soup, and ate it happily.

The others did the same, and they were so amazed that they pushed the cups and changed them.

Zhen Qian drank fruit wine, this kind of wine is not easy to get drunk and nourishing, Yuerong drank osmanthus brewing, the degree is very low and the entrance is a little sweet, and the other three people chose different soju according to their drinking habits, the difference is only the degree of the degree, and they have no opinion on such an arrangement.

Ji Bei Zhenbei raised his glass and toasted Zhen Qian and said: "Thank you Zhen Lang for your hospitality, the strategy of governing the country that Zhen Lang said in the official post yesterday, I and the deputy envoy of the Tang Dynasty are very interested, I don't know if Zhen Lang can write out yesterday's strategy, so let's study it carefully?" ”

Zhen Qian didn't expect Ji Bei Zhenbei to be eager to bring it up, and was ready to wait until the banquet dispersed before taking it out, and then inadvertently glanced at Yuerong who was kneeling beside her, pricked up her ears, laughed in her heart for a while, took the written handscroll from the table next to her and handed it over, "I didn't think much about it in a hurry yesterday, and after I came back, I pondered it, they are all some immature suggestions, if there is anything wrong, please forgive me!" ”

Ji Bei Zhenbei did not take Zhen Qian's words as humble at the beginning, but thought that Zhen Qian was trying to capture the past, and he looked forward to Zhen Qian's strategy even more. Cautiously took the handscroll from Zhen Qian's hand, slowly unfolded it, the expression on his face changed from solemn to bad, shocked, and finally full of surprise, and he didn't dare to say confidently: "Is this all written by Zhen Lang?" ”

Fujiwara Qinghe frowned slightly, it was very impolite to ask this, and hurriedly said: "Ambassador, can you let me take a look!" ”

Ji Bei Zhenbei also felt that the words just now were a little gaffe, but it was difficult to put away the water, and he smiled apologetically at Zhen Qian, and hurriedly handed the handscroll in his hand to Fujiwara Qinghe, and said calmly in his mouth: "The strategy of the world, Zhen Lang is also a great talent in the world, how offensive he was just now, please don't be surprised", after speaking, he just gave Zhen Qian a deep salute, and the expression on his face was not too respectful, and even a few people on the side looked at Ji Bei Zhenbei in surprise, and couldn't help muttering in their hearts, people who can get Ji Bei Zhenbei's praise and respect, It is not very common even in the Wa country.

Ji Bei Zhenbei didn't mean that he doubted Zhen Qian's character and fooled himself with plagiarized things, none of these were important in his opinion, the important thing was the things written on the handscroll, which could definitely be said to be worth a thousand gold.

What is the purpose of sending Tang envoys to Datang, to learn the advanced technology, culture, military and so on of the Tang Dynasty, as long as they use things for the Wa Kingdom, whether they are humbly studying or stealing by unscrupulous means, groveling or shameless, as long as they can be brought to the Wa State and make the Wa Kingdom strong and rich, as for the means, it is no longer important.

Ji Bei Zhenbei is a pure person, pure and a little persistent and fanatical, and that handscroll is a treasure in the world, as for Zhen Qian, he is a genius, if such things and talents are not brought back to China, it is simply the biggest stain and shame ...... life.

Fujiwara Kiyokawa took the handscroll, only to look at it a few times, the expression on his face changed suddenly, and he could no longer suppress his inner peace.

If it is said that yesterday in the official post the elite system of enriching the country and strengthening the army proposed by Zhen Qian was just an ideological framework, today's handscroll is outlining a magnificent blue field, adding a lot of specific skeletons and flesh and blood to the ideology, making the thinking more full and vivid, and no longer just talking about the rhetoric on paper, but having a specific direction and goal for operation and implementation.

Seeing that in the end, Fujiwara Qinghe handed the handscroll in his hand to Fujiwara Shuxiong, although he didn't have the decision-making power for this kind of thing, but because Zhen Qian was invited by him, he still had the right to participate, obviously it was not appropriate to leave Fujiwara Shuxiong aside at this time.

Fujiwara Shuxiong couldn't hold back the curiosity in his heart for a long time, and if he hadn't cared about the etiquette at the table, he would have stretched his head over and looked at it together.

Yuerong sat between Zhen Qian and Fujiwara Shuxiong, saw that the handscroll was passed to Fujiwara Shuxiong, and then took the opportunity to pour wine, his eyes quickly glanced at the handscroll, and quietly moved his body as if nothing happened, and wrote down the information on the handscroll in his heart at a glance.

There was nothing to say for a while, and when Fujiwara Shuxiong finished reading the handscroll, he handed it back to Kibi Zhenbei, and then he opened his mouth and said with admiration: "Zhen Lang is a talent, I just read Zhen Qian's strategy for enriching the country, and I hope that Zhen Lang can give me some advice if you don't understand something?" ”
