Chapter 8: Zhang Rang, the first eunuch of the Ten Standing Attendants
After Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty monopolized salt and iron, it was more expensive to eat salt in the Han Dynasty, and Gao Leng was a person with a light taste, and he felt that the dishes of the Eastern Han Dynasty were salty and light. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć info A peerless warrior like Li Yuanba must eat without salt, otherwise he will have no strength.
Ordinary people can't afford to eat meat, and the most common dishes on the dinner table are salted vegetables, which are salted vegetables, and miso soup. Ordinary people, corn rice pickles, or boil some vegetable soup, add a miso soup, eat two meals and a day will pass, it is still quite desolate. No matter what others think, anyway, Gao Leng has to eat three meals a day, occasionally a snack in the afternoon, and a supper in the evening.
People in the Han Dynasty love to eat dog meat, and it is the main meat, don't look at Gao Leng and think that the pigs of the Eastern Han Dynasty are not good, in fact, pigs are precious animals, and the value can reach ten times that of dogs. The dishes made of dog meat are also very rich, and the Qin and Han Dynasty slips record five-spice dog jerky, dog soup, roasted dog ribs, roasted dog liver, etc.
In addition, the Han Dynasty people had a lot of skills in eating sashimi, because of the restrictions of cooking methods, they would eat crucian carp, carp, mandarin fish, bream, loach, turtle, etc., which are rich in types.
It's a pity that Gao Leng doesn't like to eat sashimi from the Eastern Han Dynasty, for fear of small insects, which is not detected by modern technology.
Gao Leng took Li Yuanba to eat and drink everywhere, and saw that there were wine sellers on the street, in addition to grain wine, there was also grape wine, which was very expensive, and there were also sugar cane wine, chrysanthemum wine, and jasmine wine with golden pulp.
As the old saying goes, the common people can't afford to drink these wines.
In the Han Dynasty, Yin Shi people liked to make preserved meat, everything was dried, everything was pickled, all kinds of wild fowl were preserved, there was a lot of wild meat at that time, preserved meat, animals, fish, etc., mainly dried meat can be preserved for a long time, and the most important thing is to eat enough in the Eastern Han Dynasty.
Gao Leng carefully studied history and felt that the people of the Three Kingdoms of the Eastern Han Dynasty were not living, but meowing about survival. As long as you give food to eat, recruiting soldiers is not a problem, and the army is not a problem, as long as the money and food are enough.
The army has never been powerful when there are many people, Gao Leng also needs a general who can train soldiers, Li Yuanba is a peerless general, but he doesn't know any strategy, commander, training and the like, Li Yuanba is to sweep all opponents.
Gao Leng also found a very special souvenir, of course, he didn't have the courage to eat it, for fear of eating it to spoil his stomach.
This thing is stinky pork, the fat pig is strangled to death with a rope, a small infestation is cut in the abdomen to remove the internal organs, and then the abdominal cavity is filled with dried pea grains and tree roots, sutured, and then the incision and seven orifices are sealed with yellow mud and ghee paste, and buried in the ashes of plants and trees.
Half a year later, the ash is basically drained of the pork, then removed from the ash and hung in a corner of the kitchen, where it slowly rots and turns yellow in the smoke.
Gao Leng really didn't dare to eat, there was only one small life, and there was no miracle doctor around him who could continue his life.
The shopping task was completed, and Gao Leng and Li Yuanba continued to sing in the West Garden, and they were still loyal to the country. I have to say that the people of the Eastern Han Dynasty are really pure, and no one even thinks of stealing the song of serving the country with loyalty to sell and sing, they are all honest people.
When Gao Leng listened to Li Yuanba roaring in his throat, he was concentrating on two things, thinking that Luoyang was really a good place, worthy of being the imperial capital. Luoyang is located in the south bank of the middle reaches of the Yellow River, across Yi, Luo, Jian several rivers, north leaning on the mountain, south to Yique, east according to the tiger prison, west of the Kunban, there are rivers and mountains arch Dai, the shape of the first in the world's reputation.
Luoyang is in the middle of the world, the geographical location is dangerous, and it has always been a battleground for soldiers. In addition, the Yiluo Plain is fertile, the surrounding waterways are developed, and the transportation is convenient, which can well solve the supply problem of the capital division, so that the emperor can sit in the center, control the world remotely, and concentrate on maintaining his rule.
"This song is festive to listen to, and to see it." A very special feminine voice sounded, Gao Leng glanced at it, his face was white and beardless, dead eunuch, that momentum was not a little eunuch at first glance, and he was followed by four attendants with big shoulders and round waists.
"Thank you, please." Gao Leng's acting skills are still great, after all, he was born in a big star family, and he knows a lot about the bad things in the entertainment industry, and he has learned a lot of good things from the words and deeds of his four parents.
The big eunuch smiled slightly, looking at the tall and handsome Gao Leng who bent down and bowed his head respectfully: "The Sprinkle family thinks this song is good, so I have to come to the house to sing it once, and I will not be rewarded." ā
"The little one is on call, please rest assured." Gao Leng's heart moved, what did this dead eunuch want to do, but fame is the most important thing. As long as you have fame, hum, you can be cold and have the means to be black.
The big eunuch listened to the song of serving the country seriously, patted Gao Leng on the shoulder, Gao Leng bent down very wittily, and the big eunuch left very satisfied.
An entourage deliberately stayed, looking at Gao Leng with a fierce face: "Boy, just now this is a noble man in the palace, the head of the ten permanent servants, and Zhang Rang, the middle servant, be careful to serve, otherwise be careful with your skin." ā
"The boy knows, the official is a little bit of the little brother's heart." Gao Leng was very good at doing things, and quietly handed over a piece of silver, and the entourage accepted the money, and his face became better, that was his own person.
The people who are willing to do things with money are all kind-hearted people, Gao Leng learned a lot of things, and felt that the money was not spent in vain.
When the entourage left, Gao Leng sneered in his heart, he didn't expect to catch a giant fish, and he really fooled Zhang Rang. Gao Leng learned history very well, and knew why Zhang Rang was able to ascend to the throne, which had a lot to do with Emperor Ling, and the thing that made Emperor Ling the happiest was that he participated in the killing of Liang Jigong and the marquis of the capital.
Zhang Rang had a prison slave in charge of housework, colluded with the powerful, accepted bribes, and had a great reputation. Fathers, sons, and brothers are distributed in states and counties as officials, corrupt and brutal, and are a scourge to the people.
Actually, in Gao Leng's opinion, no matter how much disaster Zhang Rang is, he can't compare to the backer Spirit Emperor behind the big pest.
Speaking of which, Emperor Ling was really lucky to be the emperor. The previous emperor hung up at the age of 6636 and had no heirs, and then, if Empress Dou wanted to control the government, she chose the twelve-year-old Ling Emperor from the Han family.
In this way, Emperor Ling was ignorantly transformed from a child of a side branch of the royal family who had no future, and suddenly reigned over the world.
Emperor Ling was raised in the palace and likes beauties, and in addition to beauties, there are also beautiful men here. Emperor Ling was particularly fond of the Ten Permanent Attendants, headed by Zhang Rang, who were the most powerful of the eunuchs, responsible for managing the Emperor's documents and issuing edicts on behalf of the Emperor.
Gao Leng admires Emperor Ling the most, that is, this emperor can often say that Zhang Rang is my father and Zhao Zhong is my mother.
Emperor Ling also did something that made Gao Leng envious and jealous even the feet of the girl, that is, the beautiful women in the Palace of Emperor Ling wore open crotch pants.
Gao Leng also knew one thing, there was a county guard named Cui Lie from a family, who spent five million dollars and bought Situ. Emperor Ling still felt that he was losing money, so he should have offered 10 million no matter how he dropped, alas, it should be regarded as advertising money.
