Chapter 714: Yang Tong goes south

Yang Chong only thanked that the education of children is actually that of parents, but before the crossing, I saw countless people working in other places in order to survive, and they could not be at home for many years; After the war, there are constant wars, and there is a constant rush like myself, educating children is almost an empty word, and teachers have become the most critical part. Yang Chong can only sigh that there is still something reasonable about traditional things; Du Yan knew a lot about Yan Wanshi and said a few words of praise.

Yu Jianzi saw that Yang Chong was thinking, changed the topic and said: "Come, let's see which one of our mustard and Bashu's spicy rice oil has a correct taste?" ”

The spicy products in Guanzhong are now the most famous for the spicy rice oil of Bashu and the mustard of Chang'an, Zhuge Quan is in Bashu, and has been trying to arrange the bureaucrats to look for wild millet peppers in the high mountains according to Yang Chong's statement that Yunnan, Guizhou, Qinghai-Tibet and other plateau areas may produce that kind of wild millet peppers, but there is still no result, but the practice of eating dogwood in Bashu has been sorted out and matured by Zhuge Quan. Dogwood has the function of preparing for insecticide and disinfection, chasing cold and dispelling wind, and Zhuge is divided into Wu Dogwood, Dogwood and Dogwood.

Dogwood has a special fragrance, the young branches are densely covered with sharp spikes, and the old stem is also covered with nodulous spikes, and even birds dare not perch on it, so it is called "birds do not step on it". Now the Zhuge family in Bashu to eat the fruit of dogwood into a paste, pound and filter the juice, into lime and stir into it, called spicy rice oil. As an ingredient for beef, mutton and pork dishes, in order to remove the fishy smell, although there are still some differences with chili peppers, but it is more than enough for cooking.

Located in the north, Mozhuang is to spend the strength on the wild wasabi, is the most famous workshop of Chang'an mustard, "Qi Min Yaoshu" believes that wasabi is the first of the seventeen kinds of vegetables, the taste is spicy, sweet and smooth, refreshing, advocate ten days to eat sunflower vegetables, used to reconcile the five organs. Yang Chong absorbed the practices of later generations, and did not spend much effort on the yellow mustard seeds from plants, and used two years of aged mustard seeds to boil and boil yellow water, and added light vinegar to dissolve the practicality; And the practical root of wasabi, the name wasabi, seasoned with soy sauce, especially used to remove the fishy smell of seafood.

Wasabi is widely cultivated and eaten in the Yangtze River and Yellow River basins, and with the continuous introduction and planting of new vegetable varieties after the Tang and Song dynasties, the limitation and change of climatic and natural conditions, the cultivation of wasabi is becoming less and less. In the Ming Dynasty, with chili peppers, sunflower leaves the table, and Li Shizhen moves wasabi from the vegetable order to the grass order.

In order not to damage the wasabi branches, it is stipulated that the wasabi must be done by hand, and tools such as machetes are not allowed. I don't know if it's a psychological effect or if it's really exquisite, Mozhuang's mustard gives Chang'an people the feeling that it is a little better than other people's homes; Now these two kinds of spices are selling well in Chang'an, such as Li Xiaogong's Xiao Zhen Zhai, which has been purchased and sold in the store.

Yang Chong tasted the latest spicy rice oil and Chang'an's mustard respectively, and a little sweat oozed from his forehead and said: "If you want to say that spicy is still spicy rice oil, but mustard has a medicinal fragrance, which spicy rice oil can't catch." The difference between the two spicy ones will be vividly reflected when cooking, and in order to avoid unnecessary competition, they can be different in publicity. ”

Yang Chong said a few words about the difference between the two materials, so that everyone nodded frequently, each with its own difference, that is, the market is separated, and each retains a profit; Yang Chong asked about the planting of the two raw materials again, and learned that the dogwood had begun to be planted artificially, Yang Chong smiled, Zhuge Quan was going to make a lot of movement in Bashu. Yang Xin followed behind Yu Jianzi, his diet developed in a light direction, he didn't have much interest in spicy things, and he stood on the side for a long time, not even tasting it.

However, Jiang Fei likes to eat spicy food now, and Yang Chong asked people to prepare five cans each and send them to the Science and Technology City, so that Jiang Fei could take them back by the way; Du Yan asked for two cans of each and went back to try them. Du Yan is a knowledgeable person, familiar with the characteristics of Yang Chong's subordinates, and all the best of these goods are left for Yang Chong's appreciation; The goods left behind in Mozhuang are by no means comparable to those sold in the store in the market.

Not long after Jiang Fei left, Meng Fu and Xu Jingzong rushed to bring embarrassing news that Yang Tong was missing, disappeared on the beach in Jiangdu, and escaped disguised as Qu Tu's family; The sailor and Jiangdu stayed in the house, and finally found out that there was no news after Huating was picked up by a caravan, Qu Tutong's eldest son Qu Tushou lost the news at the same time, all the people of Qu Tutong's family in Jiangdu were detained, and Qu Tutong was also under house arrest in Chang'an, just waiting for Yang Chong's handling opinion.

Kou Jiuhui dispatched a large number of people but did not find it, it is estimated that he changed ships to go south, but now that shipping is developed, there are many merchants who go to sea by boat, and it is impossible to find out that the ship took Yang Tong away. Kou Jiuhui and others believe that Yang Tong's destination is the territory controlled by Lin Shihong, Feng An, and Ning Changzhen in the south, and the most likely is Qinzhou, because Ning Changzhen's health is getting worse day by day.

The Xiyuan barbarians under the leadership of Ning Changzhen lived in the south of Guangrong, the west of Yonggui, and separated from the Central Plains Dynasty from time to time; The Central Plains repeatedly sent troops to conscript, but to no avail, in order to maintain long-term peace and stability, had to adopt a strategy based on Fu, so the Ning family was able to inherit the history of Qinzhou assassination. But in that area, there is also Li Guangdu, the leader of the Guizhou slang tribe, and in terms of territory and materials, the people on both sides are fiercely competing.

The imperial court has always supported Ning Chang because Li Guangdu had rebelled with his brother Li Guangshi, and in the seventeenth year of the emperor's reign, Li Guangshi launched a rebellion, and Emperor Wen of Sui sent Zhou Fashang to transfer troops stationed in the Lingnan region, and Wang Shiji sent troops from Yuezhou to transfer troops stationed in the Lingbei region. At that time, Wang Shiji's department encountered many miasma plagues and could not advance, so he had to stop in Hengzhou; Zhou Fashang went deep alone, defeated Li Guangshi alone, and captured Li Guangshi's younger brother Li Guanglue, Li Guangdu, and the relatives of Li Guangshi's troops.

As long as Li Guangshi's subordinates surrendered to the Sui army, Zhou Fashang returned them to his relatives, and in more than ten days, thousands of people surrendered. Li Guangshi was helpless, led the elite soldiers out of the Baishi Cave, Zhou Fashang sent the troops to line up to block Li Guangshi, and he personally led the strange soldiers to ambush in the woods, and attacked before and after, Li Guangshi's troops were invincible, all scattered, and Li Guangshi was killed. Although Li Guangdu was put back out of the need to stabilize the slang clan, the imperial court was still not at ease.

Compared with the solid jurisdiction of Lin Shihong and Feng An, Qinzhou's ruling foundation is the weakest, and it is the closest to the two lakes; Yang Tong is a smart person, since he has abandoned the glory and wealth, he just wants to do a career, so he will naturally choose an easy place to get his hands on and will not touch hard stones.
