XVII. Brewing tea on the world

Chen Yan chatted with the shopkeeper Liu, and learned that this person was the cook in Wangchun Tower, and he came to learn the techniques of stir-frying with him. Pen Γ— fun Γ— Pavilion www. biquge。 Of course, I won't have reservations, so I demonstrated it on the spot, but in fact, there is no trick in it, it's nothing more than using clear sauce to fry the pot and stir-fry it on high heat. The cook also understood at a glance, and constantly admired, although this technique is simple, but it is full of wisdom.

Shopkeeper Liu asked the cook to go back first, while he stayed and chatted with Chen Yan over tea.

Chen Yan himself doesn't have much knowledge, but Chen Qicheng has, besides, he has nearly a thousand years more knowledge than people in this era, and there is no pressure to chat with the old man Liu.

After chatting for a while, Chen Yan felt that this shopkeeper Liu was extraordinary, so he became more and more interested, and said casually: "I'm afraid that the war in the south is going to be calmed down." ”

"Oh, how did Keicheng know?"

"With Marshal Di and General Yang in charge, Nanong Zhigao is vulnerable."

Shopkeeper Liu nodded: "Marshal Di and General Yang Wenguang are both famous generals in the world, and it is natural to exterminate Nong Zhigao." ”

Chen Yan poured a cup of tea for the shopkeeper Liu and said: "Actually, the real enemy of our Great Song Dynasty is not the Western Xia people, let alone Nong Zhigao and the like. ”

"It's a Khitan?"

"Definitely! The national strength of this Khitan is already declining, and I am afraid it will not last long. Western Xia is also just surviving. Our real enemies are in the cold lands of Mobei and Northeast. ”

Shopkeeper Liu also went to the north in his early years, thought about it and said: "What Qi Cheng said is that the Mongols and the Jurchens are not successful?" Think about it, then the Mongols and Jurchens are under the control of the Khitans and have not been able to grow, how can they become the fierce rivals of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

"Back then, the Han people never thought that the Hu people in the north could occupy the Central Plains, right? Old man, there are no absolutes in everything. ”

"The old man thinks that with Marshal Di sitting in the center, the northern barbarians can't become the climate! Presumably, the day when Marshal Di returned to the dynasty this time was the time to pay homage to the marquis. ”

Chen Yan shook his head with a wry smile, and said slowly: "It is naturally indispensable to pay homage to the marquis, but there are also many hidden dangers. If I were Marshal Di, the day the division returned to the dynasty would be the time to unload the armor and return to the field. Throughout the ages, it is not a good thing to have a high degree of merit. ”

"But ......" Shopkeeper Liu let out a long sigh, knowing that what Chen Yan said was true, looking at the current dynasty, since the death of Fan Xianggong, except for Di Qing and Yang Wenguang, there are no famous generals in the Great Song Dynasty. Although the Seed Army in the northwest is famous, those generals of the Seed Family also won fewer victories and more defeats against the Western Xia Army, and in the past few years, they were defeated in Dingjun Village, losing seven or eight military towns and hundreds of miles of land. Nowadays, the Great Song Dynasty seems to be singing and dancing, but there are Khitan in the north, Western Xia in the northwest, Tubo in the west, Dali in the southwest, Nong Zhigao and Jiaozhi in the south, all of them are jackals, tigers and leopards, staring at the splendid mountains and rivers of the Great Song Dynasty. Such a strong enemy looked around, but the imperial court was still suppressing the generals, if it was according to Chen Yan's words, then Di Hanchen would not be able to die well.

"People who have no long-term worries must have near-term worries!"

Of course, Chen Yan didn't dare to say that Di Qing had only been in the limelight for a few years, after pacifying Nong Zhigao, Di Qing was worshiped as a privy envoy, which was already the highest status that a military general could achieve, and his prestige had also reached its peak in the Great Song Army, and although Di Qing had led the army to fight, he was still very naΓ―ve politically. Then the ministers in the court began a consistent strategy to suppress the generals, and finally with the acquiescence of Renzong, they used some rumors to force Di Qing away, so that this generation of famous generals finally died of depression.

Shopkeeper Liu pondered for a while before asking, "Then how does Qi Cheng think he should refresh the government at the moment?" ”

"Fan Xianggong can't help it, what can I do in white."

In the Great Song Dynasty, starting from Fan Zhongyan, the ministers of the court began to study the reform and change, and even in the late Southern Song Dynasty, the ministers of the court were still thinking about the change, but the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty was destined to be unable to succeed. Those so-called changes are all floating clouds under the national capital of the Great Song Dynasty, which emphasizes literature and suppresses military force, and they can't even cure the standard, let alone the book.

In fact, these days, Chen Yan has been pondering this question while resting, and said slowly: "Why was the former Tang Dynasty able to create a prosperous era of all nations to congratulate, and why did the former Tang Dynasty set up a capital protectorate in the Western Regions and Mobei?" The kid felt that only continuous external expansion was the foundation of an empire's survival, and only in this way could the folk customs of the Great Song Dynasty change. ”

"What Qi Cheng said is reasonable, but although the former Tang Dynasty created a prosperous era, did it not perish in the end because of this feudal town?"

Chen Yan sighed and said: "Old man, there are no eternal rivers and mountains in this world, let alone a long-lived emperor. ”

Shopkeeper Liu was stunned for a moment, although Chen Yan's words were very rebellious, but after careful consideration, it had a deep meaning. He thought that Chen Yan was just a scholar with some talent in his heart, but he didn't expect that today's conversation made him greatly admire Chen Yan's talent. This person has a long-term vision, and I am afraid that he can't even compare with those ministers in the court.

The old man and the young chatted for a while, and it was not too early to see that the shopkeeper Liu said goodbye and left.

Chen Yan went to the kitchen to cook some food by himself, and Shuang'er went to the shop to help before dawn these days, so Chen Yan returned to the old days. I was about to make a boiled pork slice, but there was a knock on the door outside, and Chen Yanxin said that there were really a lot of guests today, but I didn't know that this was the visitor again.

Stretched out his hand to open the door, and before Chen Yan could see who was outside the door, a flying foot came and hit him in the chest, kicked him and flew out a few meters, and fell heavily to the ground. Chen Yan felt that his eyes were full of stars, and he was about to get up, when he stepped on his chest with one foot, and then said in a vicious voice: "You guy, you have read the book of sages in vain, and you dare to seduce my little sister!" ”

Chen Yan stretched out his hand and rubbed his eyes, and said, "Who is it not you?" ”

"Open your dog's eyes and see, I hit this girl a few days ago!"

Chen Yan looked at it, oh my mom, isn't this the hot girl he knocked down on the street corner a few days ago! But when did he seduce this hot girl's sister?

"If you have something to say, the gentleman doesn't do it! Girl, you are beating and scolding this time, I really don't understand? Even if I die, I have to die, don't you? ”

The hot girl snorted, and after thinking about it, it was also the same reason, so she let go of Chen Yan, twisted her good-looking willow leaf and bent her eyebrows and said, "Say, did you meet my little sister in the bookstore a few days ago." ”

Chen Yan was afraid, rubbed his chest, and said with a bitter face: "I met a woman, but I didn't hook up, no, I seduced her?" ”

"And say no!" The hot girl said angrily: "My little sister is now muttering that sentence all day long, what life is only as first seen." The whole person was a lot haggard, and after this girl's repeated questioning, she said that she met you in the bookstore that day. It took a lot of effort for this girl to find here, if you don't give this girl an explanation today, this girl will send you to Kaifeng Mansion! ”

Chen Yan was really speechless, in fact, he also underestimated the charm of that sentence, but this is also a good thing, as soon as the hot girl came to the door like this, didn't she know the name and address of her goddess?! It's a no-brainer! It seems that he and the goddess are still very fateful. Thinking of this, Chen Yan couldn't help but say, "Dare to ask the girl's name?" ”

"Why do you tell you about this disciple? Let me tell you, our Cao family's daughter family is not something that anyone can bully! ”

"Ugh!" Chen Yan was speechless again, this hot girl looks fierce, but this low IQ is really touching!
