Zhang Jun held a bottle of wine and savored it. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Grapes and wine were still considered treasures at this time, and they were not common anywhere else except for the fact that he could eat as much as he wanted in his own palace. Except for banquets and entertaining guests, grapes are not to be taken out and eaten open.

When it comes to wine, it is loved by the world.

Emperor Wen of Wei Cao Pi listed the advantages of grapes in the edict and said: "It can be made as wine, willing to bow to tillers, good drunk and easy to wake up, the Tao is solid to salivate and saliva, and the situation is to eat it!" (This roughly means that grapes can be used to make wine, sweeter than tillers, and easy to get drunk, but very easy to decant wine.) Just looking at it in your eyes makes your mouth water, let alone being able to drink it yourself? ）

After Lian Fan and Guangwu County's Zhizhong engaged in history and don't drive a few glasses of toasts, Zhang Jun exhaled a deep breath of wine, looking very comfortable.

Zhou Yan saw it in his eyes, probably because he couldn't forget his old job, and admonished: "Young General, wine is a harmful thing, don't be infatuated!" ”

“······”

“······”

Not only did Zhang Jun look at Zhou Yan helplessly, but even Zhizhong and Bei Jia also showed a wry smile.

"Hehe······" Zhang Jun put down the wine glass and said suspiciously: "Drinking too much wine hurts the body, but drinking less can also invigorate the blood." How could Zhou Yuanjun look at it one-sidedly and say that it was a harmful thing? ”

"Humph!"

Zhou Yan, who was already uncomfortable, seemed to have found an outlet, snorted coldly at the moment, and said: "Wine is the essence of the valley, the young general drank these glasses of wine, but I don't know how many grapes are made······"

He sighed and continued: "Now that the four seas are in turmoil, the people are suffering, and I don't know how many people in the world are still starving, how can we use precious food to make such things that are only to satisfy our appetites? ”

Zhang Jun shook his head when he heard this, and said in his heart that after all, the ancients had not studied systematic economic theories, so they naturally felt that brewing would waste food. In fact, the cupbearer has been wavering since the Wei and Jin dynasties. Sometimes, when those who hold strict views are in power, they will ban alcohol, and vice versa.

Since the Wei and Jin dynasties, there has been basically no innovation in the cupbearery. It is forbidden or prohibited, and each takes the law of the Han Dynasty and is not uniform. Not to mention within a country, but also between states and counties, the policy of sake brewing is very different. Some places produce grain, so it doesn't matter; In some places, there is a shortage of grain, so the management is very strict. Generally speaking, the implementation of the liquor (i.e., a system that does not allow private brewing and trading, and is all monopolized by the state) was not long, because everyone from the princes and nobles to the common people loved to drink, so the policy on liquor was mainly to implement a tax system for liquor, and when there was a famine, alcohol was only banned for a short time.

Therefore, Zhou Yanzhi's opinion can only be said to be the words of the defenders, in the era when the whole of "China" loves to drink, those who advocate a complete ban on alcohol cannot be said to be rare, and they are definitely a minority. So when he spoke, Zhang Jun and his subordinates were speechless.

Liangzhou mainly inherited the Jin Dynasty (Western Jin Dynasty) cupbearery, and mainly implemented the policy of both taxation and prohibition. On the one hand, private brewing and selling are allowed, and on the other hand, heavy taxes are imposed. However, when it comes to concrete implementation, there are few exceptions. Because Liangzhou is located in the Hexi Corridor, which is a famous granary and horse farm in the world, there is no shortage of grain at all. In addition, after the Zhang family took power, after two generations of three masters, the social productivity has been continuously improved, and it is really not bad for this little bit of wine-making grain.

Therefore, on the table in front of Zhang Jun, there are not only wines, but also more than a dozen other kinds. It is estimated that the director of the Qinglou thinks very simply-after serving the young general, as long as Zhang Jun falls in love with one of them, he will not worry about sales in the future.

Although Zhou Yan's words were very disappointing, Zhang Jun still had to rely on him a lot tonight, so he planned to end the topic with a joke.

I saw him casually raise a bottle of wine, swayed it slightly in the glass cup, and said: "Envoy, Jin Yongxing three years (304) imperial court amnesty, Emperor Xianhui drunk for five days, it has become a good story, and there are still many people recalling the situation at that time. Drinking is a pleasure, so why bother? ”

Unexpectedly, this week, Yan's stubborn temper came up, and he didn't plan to give face to the Great Jin Emperor at all, and said bluntly: "If Emperor Hui can ban alcohol and work diligently, there will be no Yongjia Rebellion in the future!" ”

Zhang Jun was choked enough by his words, and said in his heart that this thing is simply a stone in a pit - smelly and hard!

In the first year of Yongxing (304), when Emperor Hui of Jin and all the people of the world were drinking and carnivaling, a far-reaching event occurred in Zuoguocheng (now Lishi, Shanxi), that is, Liu Yuan, a Sinicized Xiongnu nobleman, led his troops to raise troops and gradually controlled some areas of Bingzhou, claiming to be the king of Han. After that, the invincible Great Jin Empire came to an end. Two years later, Emperor Hui of Jin died, and Sima Chi became the heir to the throne for Emperor Huai, changing the Yuan Yongjia. At the same time, Liu Yuan sent Shile and others to invade the south, repeatedly breaking the Jin army, and the power became stronger and stronger. In another two years, that is, in the second year of Yongjia, Liu Yuan was officially proclaimed emperor, and in four years, Liu Yuan died, and his son Liu Cong succeeded to the throne. In the following year (the fifth year of Yongjia, 311 AD), Liu Cong sent Shi Le, Wang Mi, Liu Yao and others to lead an army to attack Jin, annihilating 100,000 Jin troops in Pingcheng (now southwest of Luyi, Henan), and killing Wang Yan and the princes. He invaded Luoyang, captured Emperor Huai, and killed more than 30,000 princes and soldiers.

It can be said that the disaster of Yongjia is a wound for all Han people in this era, and Zhou Yan is really speechless about it.

Zhang Jun had no choice but to retort patiently: "Envoy, my Daliang grain has been piled up in the treasury, and some have even been allowed to rot, so can't it be used to make wine?" ”

Zhou Yan shook his head and was about to continue arguing, but Zhou Tong, who was guarding outside, strode in and blocked back the words that had already reached his mouth.

I saw that after the young general's cronies gave a military salute, he announced in a loud voice: "The lord, the county guard, the Zhao family of the Guangwu Hao clan and more than a dozen others have arrived!" ”

"Biography!" Zhou Yan waved his hand and ordered.

Zhou Tong didn't move, turned to look at Zhang Jun, and saw that the lord nodded slightly, and then hugged his fists and said, "Promise ······"

After a while, the sound of roll call came and went, and a group of well-dressed old men marched in one after another, and only knelt on their soft floor under the guidance of the waiter after performing the bow.

At this time, Song Pei quietly came to Zhang Jun's side and whispered a few words in his ear.

Zhang Jun smiled and nodded, cleared his throat, and the venue instantly fell silent.

Although this banquet was held in the name of the county guard Zhou Yan, everyone knew that today's protagonist was Major General Da Liang. Regardless of whether everyone here takes Zhang Jun in their eyes or not, there is always curiosity. This young Lang Jun fought thousands of miles in the land of the Huns, and has long become a hero by word of mouth, and now some people are seeing it for the first time, and some are re-examining, and they are always paying attention to Zhang Jun's every move.

However, the young man Lang Jun did not say anything, but looked around at the people in the field, and asked a middle-aged scribe who was kneeling in front of the seats of all the wealthy families, "I don't know who this gentleman is?" ”

The scribe was the manager of Xin, and I saw that he calmly straightened his clothes, got up and said: "Go back to the young general to ask, in Xia Xinjing, it is ······"

Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Jun directly interrupted: "The surname is Xin······ Is there a Xin clan in Guangwu County? ”

Although the Xin family is a wealthy family, it is not in Guangwu, so naturally there is no Xin family here.

Song Pei said at the right time: "Back to the lord, there has never been!" ”

Xin Jing wanted to explain, but Zhang Jun didn't give him a chance, and said with a smile: "I have a banquet with Zhou Envoy Jun tonight, that is, Jun wants to make friends with the famous family of Guangwu, since this person does not belong to the gate of Guangwu, then what kind of face does he have at the head of you?" ”

After that, he directly lowered his face and waved his hand: "Left and right, don't take down this indiscriminate maniac student!" ”

PS: "Indiscriminate Filling" is from "Han Feizi Neichu Said": "King Qi Xuan makes people blow the pipe, and there will be 300 people." Nanguo priest please blow the flute for the king, declare the king Yuezhi, and eat hundreds of people. King Xuan died, and King Yu was established, so that he could hear it one by one, and the priest fled. So it has been applied in the Wei and Jin dynasties, and there is no ambiguity.
