Volume 1 Entering the Han Realm Chapter 9 Entering Chang'an 3

In the feudal dynasty, salt and iron, as a strategic material of the state, were monopolized by the state. The advantage of state monopoly is the increase in state revenue. Of course, there are policies at the top, and there are countermeasures for those who sell salt at the bottom, otherwise how can everyone fill their pockets and honor the officials, so the management of salt and iron has always been a fat difference. It is too common to raise prices, shoddy, and short of catties. Therefore, history can see a lot of illicit salt dealers, although * illegal salt is a capital crime, but as long as you succeed once, you can ensure that you have no worries about food and clothing for the rest of your life. We are familiar with Cheng Biting Jin is * private salt, and then he was arrested before he became a ringing horse. Marx said that if capital has 50 percent profits, it will take risks, if it has 100 percent profits, it will dare to trample on all the laws of the world, and if it has 300 percent profits, it will dare to commit any crime, and even face the danger of being hanged. Illegal salt is also a profitable business, so it is also a succession to kill a batch of people in the future. There are always those who can't survive and aren't afraid of death.

The rest of the people, against the sun to come to the salt market, the salt of the Han Dynasty has the well salt of Bashu and the sea salt, the Spring and Autumn Period of Qi is on the seaside, relying on the sale of salt on the road of hegemony, Liu Bangding the world, Han Xin is sealed in the hometown of Qi, but due to the consideration of huge interests, Han Xin was killed and the sea salt was recovered. Yanshi is different from rice shops, there are soldiers to maintain law and order, after all, it is an institution of the state. The scorching sun also made them listless.

The salt merchants in the salt market basically did not have to do business like in modern times, and waited for the people to come forward to buy. However, the price is ridiculously expensive, 30 yuan is only a pound of salt. After buying salt, everyone dispersed, and each family went to buy some necessary goods, and then gathered at the gate of the city to go home. Jinfeng is homeopathic to visit the ancient Chang'an City. However, at this time, there was a faint voice, but I couldn't hear it clearly, and after a while, the voice became more and more thoughtful, "Long live Your Majesty the Han Army, Wuhan Army, Long live Your Majesty" The people around quickly joined in, and quickly continued to spread. Jin Feng also shouted a few times, and at this time Jin Feng didn't know what the situation was. A man in the middle next to him looked dressed differently than ordinary people. Jin Feng walked forward, "This old man is polite, I don't know what happened." When Jin Feng walked in front of his father-in-law, Jin Feng felt two cruel gazes projected, which should be the middle-aged man's guard. The old man was a little stunned, but he quickly disappeared without a trace, waved his hand to stop his guards, and said with a smile, "Little brother is polite." "I don't know what happened just now, when the kid entered the city in the morning, he found that the atmosphere was a little depressing, I heard that it was the Huns who committed the border, and now is it a victory?" If the old man knows, please let me know" "Oh, hehe, the little brother doesn't know, just now there was a messenger from the border pass, from the nine gates, General Li Guang led the army has reoccupied Shangjun and Yuyang, and eliminated more than 150 Xiongnu people, including the leader of a tribe, this is the first to report to Chang'an" Jin Feng pouted disdainfully, and killed hundreds of thousands of enemies in a war in later generations, and the record of more than 100 people turned out to be a great victory. "Thank you, father-in-law, for telling me, it's such a blessing." Jin Feng's pouting action was captured by the old man, and he seemed to think of something, and said tentatively, "The little brother seems to disdain this great victory" "Hehe, the old man misunderstood, how to say that the country won the war, and he is happy after all" "The little brother has something to say, if you are not in a hurry, let's go to the teahouse next to us to talk" Jin Feng did not refuse, and came to the nearby teahouse, there are no guests at this time, they are all attracted by the great victory, so the tearoom seems very deserted, seeing that there are guests coming to the door, the guy stepped forward enthusiastically," Drink tea objectively, we have the best tea master here, you are satisfied" "Then come to your best tea, please invite your best tea master to come, lead the way to the best private room" "Okay, objective, you come with me." "Came to a private room called Tingfeng Pavilion, the name is good and very poetic, entering the private room, Jin Feng knows the luxurious life of the rich. Thick carpet with gold trim. A low sandalwood table sits on a red clay stove and a silk cushion on one side. The old man warmly invited Jin Feng to take a seat. The two sides sat opposite each other, "The little brother will taste the tea art of this place, although I dare not say that there is no one who will come later, but it must be unprecedented" "The kid knows nothing about tea art, let alone any product, not a cow chewing peonies." "Not nervous, not pretentious, polite and courteous, calm and peaceful, is a gentleman. It would be better if he was a genius again. This is my father-in-law's evaluation of Jin Feng. Hearing the cow chewing peonies, the old man pondered, and laughed, "Little brother is talented, just rely on these 4 words as a floating life, it seems that it is right to invite the little brother to drink tea" "The kid doesn't dare to be" Not long after, a twenty-eight-year-old girl entered the door, wearing a green long skirt that looked slender, without powder, and her hair was simply pinned with a hairpin, which was not much better than the movie stars of later generations. "The little woman Xue Shiqing greets the two of you" has a crisp and pleasant voice, which makes people feel comfortable. "No courtesy, I have long wanted to taste Miss Xue's tea art, and today it seems to be blessed" "Thank you, sir, Mr. has won the award" Two maids brought the required items, and began to light the stove, the pine charcoal and bamboo charcoal used for charcoal, there was a fragrance. And sat on the golden cauldron. Waving his hand to signal the two maids to go down, Xue Shiqing began to explain the process of making tea to everyone, and also to prevent everyone from being embarrassed if they were silent for too long. Jin Feng has been paying attention to Miss Xue's tea-making, oh no, it should be Miss Xue's tea-making, Xue Shiqing felt his gaze, and a faint flush rose on her face, which made her even more delicate. However, as soon as this beginning passed, I also paid attention to the process of tea art, after all, it is very rude to stare at people all the time, and it is not good to be considered a disciple. And in the later generations, I have seen all kinds of beauties, tall, short, fat and thin, domestic and foreign, and their immunity is also stronger, and the gaffe just now is also because I have been in the Han Dynasty for so long to see such a beautiful woman. The water is the snow water melted by the snow collected on the plum blossoms in winter, the tea leaves are the best green tea, pour the tea leaves, take the water, put the wrong onions, ginger, garlic, pepper and so on a lot of miscellaneous things, Jin Feng's face was a little surprised, how to drink this, isn't the tea fried? It didn't take long for the tea to be ready, so I took 2 green jade cups, poured in the tea leaves, and gestured with both hands to taste it. After being so busy next to the stove, Xue Shiqing had a faint Han water on her nose. Jin Feng didn't drink the tea, and took a deep breath, which was reminiscing about Xue Shiqing's aroma. The old man took a sip of tea slowly, deeply intoxicated, and said after a while, "Good tea, good tea, all kinds of flavors blend, girls have good craftsmanship" and then Jin Feng pouted, it is strange that it can be delicious, so many strange things are put in, and I don't know if I can drink it. "Please also ask Mr. to taste, I hope that Mr. will give advice and guide the little woman." This little woman is obviously taking revenge, didn't she just look at you twice? There's no shortage of meat, so I'll let you see it. It's okay to wear no clothes, Jin Feng thought so obscenely. "That's right, nephew. Miss Xue's tea art is not something that ordinary people can match. "The kid actually doesn't know much about tea," Xue Shiqing glared at him, "that kid is disrespectful." "Take a sip first like my father-in-law, as soon as the tea comes to my mouth, my face will be green, what is the taste of Nima, sweet and sour, spicy and salty, let's cook, seeing Jin Feng's appearance, Miss Xue's face also changed. In fact, Jin Feng really wanted to swallow it, but in the end, he still poofed and spit it out in one gulp. It also splashed on Miss Xue's clothes. "You ......" Miss Xue's eyes were red, tears were rolling in her eyes, she had never suffered such humiliation, this despisable village woman. Then he confessed that he would change his clothes and hide his face. "Hey, Miss Xue, I didn't mean to." The man had already gone away in anger and weeping. "I'm sorry for disturbing your Yaxing, the kid really can't drink." Haha, interesting and interesting. How many people in Chang'an City want to drink tea but can't get it, if this matter spreads, I am afraid that there will be many enemies in Chang'an in the future. "The kid is ashamed, this tea-making kid really doesn't understand, the kid prefers to drink clear tea" "What is clear tea" "If the kid comes to Chang'an again in the future, he will definitely send it to the old man and let the old man taste it" "Thank you so much." ”

"Now there are no outsiders, let's continue to say what we just said, the little brother didn't seem to have said it thoroughly, so it's better to talk about it here." "That kid is trespassing" As a traverser, Jin Feng is also very interested in Jin Ge Iron Horse at this time, and has consulted a lot of information, and there are many TV-themed TVs. Jin Feng sat up straight, and said slowly, "Although the beheadings of 150 people are a lot, they can't be said to be a great victory at all" "Since the war between Khan and the Xiongnu, the Han army has suffered a lot of casualties, and there are also a lot of casualties among the people. Then do you think the Han and Hungarian wars will win or lose?" "Of course the Han Dynasty won" The old man didn't make a sound, knowing that Jin Feng must have his reasons. "There are three points that can judge the defeat of the Huns." "Which 3 points, little brother, I will listen to you" "First." System. After all, the process of a society is forward, even if there are short-term twists and turns, it still cannot change the process. The Xiongnu is a slave society, relying on violent rule, history from the dog Rong to the current Xiongnu has not changed, they will only be strong for a while, but just not for a long time, a transfer of power may make them collapse. On the other hand, our Han Dynasty is a centralized monarchy, and there will be no major turmoil. "This statement is novel, what about the second point, "The second is civilization, the Xiongnu are a nation that is good at destruction, they will burn, they will kill, they will rob, they will rob, but they will not make it." "They also began to use the craftsmen of the Han Dynasty to make weapons" "This fundamentally can't change this habit, they don't have anything, so they will continue to invade the south, and my Han Dynasty will build from swords, guns, swords and halberds to chariots and horses, and with wisdom can continue to upgrade, the knife is gone, you can get 2 from the workshop, and the bow and arrow can be made for you a bundle." And we are constantly innovating with constant change. The Huns are still leather armor now, and the swords and guns are gone, and they are beautiful, they are the tigers that have lost their teeth, "this is also novel, I don't know what the third point of the little brother is", and the third point is simple, it is the population. The territory of the Han Dynasty is vast, with a population of 10 million, and the larger the population base, the faster the population grows, but the Xiongnu are not, their environment is harsh, the birth rate of the population is low, the death rate is high, and the population cannot grow very quickly. Besides, isn't war about attrition? The Huns could not afford to consume it. Therefore, if you win the first battle, you will loot on a large scale, and if you lose, you will immediately flee away" The old man fell into deep contemplation. I have been savoring the points that Jin Feng just said. And keep nodding his head. Jin Feng was also adjusting his breathing, after all, what he said just now should also be worded, and he couldn't make any taboos. Both sides fell silent for a moment.
