"Hengyuan, what do you want to taste? How about giving the old man a taste? ”

Huang Shang's voice came in from outside.

After the news of Deng Su and Chen Dong's return came, Huang Sheng also knew that Qian Heng had arranged for the two to sail.

Therefore, Huang Sheng also wanted to hear Deng Su and Chen Dong talk about the new things along the way.

Huang Sheng was not polite, sitting next to Qian Heng, without waiting for Qian Heng to push, Huang Sheng picked up the cup of coffee that was originally placed in front of Deng Su, brought it to his mouth, and took a sip gently.

Huang Shang is worthy of being the master who has seen it, although the coffee has a lot of sucrose added, but the bitterness in this bone is not weak at all.

And Huang Sheng saw that Qian Heng was not in a hurry and tasted it, and he looked very happy, so he took a big sip.

The mouth was full of bitterness, but there was no excessive expression on his face, but the corners of his mouth twitched slightly, and he closed his mouth for a long time before he said, "Hengyuan, what is this?" There is a bit of indescribable aftertaste in the bitterness. ”

Qian Heng smiled, "This is called coffee, it was brought back from overseas by Zhihong and Shaoyang, I think that soon, we will also have this kind of thing planted on Qiongzhou Island, and the teacher can enjoy it when the time comes!" ”

Huang Sheng shook his head for a while, "It's okay to taste fresh from this thing once in a while, I'm still used to drinking tea!" ”

Qian Heng didn't say much, Deng Su and Chen Dong brought back so many specialties, and Qian Heng couldn't let go of this opportunity.

Sweet potatoes can be stored in a proper way, and when they are ready to be planted in the spring of the next year. There is no particular attention to the storage of corn, and it can be planted directly in the spring of next year.

On the contrary, it was the tomatoes and peppers that they brought back, which made Deng Su and Chen Dong embarrassed.

Because they didn't know what tomatoes were, the two of them piled them on the boat, only to find that the tomatoes had already dried into dried dried foods when they were unloaded. Again, the dried peppers are even stronger.

Qian Heng didn't worry about anything, so he asked people to sort out the dried tomatoes, crush them, pick out the seeds inside, and set them aside.

Only this chili pepper made Qian Heng instantly excited.

Qian Heng held the red pepper with the straw and shook it at a few people, "Let you taste my craft tonight, and you will know why I care about this thing so much!" ”

The curious Huang Shang couldn't help but ask, "Hengyuan, your skills are very good, those grilled fish, I eat them very refreshingly!" ”

Qian Heng smiled, "Teacher, if you add this chili, it will be more refreshing!" ”

Qian Heng didn't say much, and beckoned someone to go to the kitchen to prepare the soup.

Originally, there were only peppercorns, and when making fish, I always felt that something was missing, but now with chili peppers, Qian Heng no longer worries about the problem of seasonings.

That night, a large pot of boiled fish was served.

Not only on the main table, but also in the entire courtyard, a full eight tables were placed, and even the back house also set a table for Lu Zimo and those female dependents.

When a mouthful of boiled fish is eaten, everyone present can no longer hold back the desire to speak, and the chopsticks in their hands can no longer stop.

Even the old man in yellow clothes looks like he is old and strong, and he eats a lot more than young people.

With chili pepper as an adjunct, the food on Qiongzhou Island has become much more varied, and the humid climate of Qiongzhou in winter has become unreasonable.

On the third day of the first month of the seventh year of Xuanhe, an unexpected news reached the island.

Qian Heng had just eaten a meal of lamb brushed by Lu Zimo, and sat happily in the study in the back hall, closing his eyes and recuperating, but received a letter from Bianjing.

And this letter was actually sent by Wang Pingzhong.

The letter elaborated on a lot of news that surprised Qian Heng.

The first thing is that the Liao State, which has always been opposed to the Great Song Dynasty, was finally destroyed by the Jin people in the motive of Xuanhe for four years, not only that, but the fact that Emperor Tianzuo was imprisoned in history did not happen, but was directly beheaded by the Jin people, completely taking the territory of the Liao State as his own.

And the Jin people, who occupied all the land of Liao, did not stop, regardless of the cold and freezing, launched the largest Song offensive.

So much so that at the time of Layue, the Jin people occupied the Beijing Daimyo Mansion in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the Jin people could take advantage of the freezing water of the Yellow River and cross the river to the south.

Zhao Ji, who was terrified, directly chose to pass the throne to Zhao Huan.

In other words, the original seven years of Xuanhe no longer exist, and at this time, it should have reached the first year of Jingkang?

After Zhao Huan ascended the throne in the sixth year of Xuanhe, he began a purge inside and outside the imperial court.

The few people who belonged to Zhao Ji the most relied on at the beginning all ended up in a dismal end, not only that, but the six thieves who had already begun to take on fame did not escape Zhao Huan's punishment.

I don't know if this is Zhao Huan's original intention, or for the sake of prestige, or to consolidate the already turbulent dynasty, none of the six thieves at the end of the Song Dynasty escaped the sanctions, and all of them cut off Zhao Huan's head.

Not only that, but even Gao Yu and several lieutenant officials in the DPRK were sentenced to death by Zhao Huan.

The only one who got a good death was left with Wang Yi and Wang Pingzhong.

The reason for this is also mentioned by Wang Pingzhong, and a large part of the reason is that for the sake of Qian Heng's face, he will take care of Wang Pingzhong and Wang Yi so much, so that the two of them can continue to serve the Emperor Zhao Ji.

What especially surprised Qian Heng was about Zhao Huan's attitude towards Jin Ren.

According to Wang Pingzhong, now Zhao Huan has sent people to contact the Jin people and wants to negotiate peace with the Jin people.

When he saw the word Yihe, Qian Heng's brows furrowed.

At this time, he still has the intention of negotiating peace.

However, Wang Pingzhong also knew some of the things that happened in the court and the harem, and these news were already very detailed news for Qian Heng.

As for more news about Jin Ren's dynamics, we have to wait for Uncle Zhang's letter to know.

There is one thing that Qian Heng can basically conclude that Li Gang at this time should have taken the position, but he doesn't know who will have more authority in the position of Zhang Shuye and Li Gang.

If Li Gang is in charge of the soldiers and horses, with Li Gang's too foolish and loyal character, I am afraid that the chances of the Great Song Dynasty surrendering will be greater.

Knowing that the matter was urgent, Qian Heng immediately left the study and convened people to discuss major matters.

The Jin people have already attacked the Yellow River, and according to the time of the delay of the letter, I am afraid that the Jin soldiers at this time have already arrived in Bianjing.

Qian Heng was anxious, looking at everyone sitting in front of him, even Han Shizhong and the three of them were summoned.

Looking at Qian Heng's solemn expression, Han Shizhong couldn't help but ask, "Lord Qian, what happened?" ”

Qian Heng smiled bitterly, "Liangchen, do you remember what I told you, the Jin people entered the Central Plains, and they were about to fight to Bianjing City!" ”

Han Shizhong's face also changed, "Lord Qian, what about the many generals in our Western Army?" Could it be that they still don't know how to support the Daimyo's Mansion and block the Jin soldiers? Whether it is the Fold family army or the seed family army, including the Wu family brothers, the soldiers and horses under their hands are not enough to be afraid of resisting the Jin people! ”10
