Chapter 531: Crab Feast
The autumn is high and cool is the time when the river crab is fat, Lord Qincha said that he wants to eat hairy crabs, the kitchen steamed hundreds of them in one go, and prepared a hammer, upsetting, tongs, shovel, spoon, fork, scrape, needle and other eight treasures to eat crabs.
Although the crab is beautiful, but the sex is cold, the use of warm rice wine can protect the stomach, a large jar of flower carving is the best choice.
Beautiful scenery, delicious wine and food, if you are surrounded by wives and children, even if you give a fairy, you will not change it. However, the daughter-in-law and son are not around, and it will be several months after they come out, and Xiao Ping'an can run all over the ground. I don't know if the little guy will recognize himself after returning to Beijing.
Tang Yi was still a little lonely, and soon he recovered his state, and there was endless laughter outside, Mao Kun, Zhu Xian, Sun Keyuan, Jiang Zhou, Wu Tiancheng, and Tang Hezheng rushed in, and when they saw the table full of hairy crabs, they were all stunned.
Especially Wu Tiancheng's mouth opened wide, Tang Hezheng looked weird, covered his mouth and didn't dare to laugh, and his face turned red when he held back.
"What's the matter with you, don't you think crabs are delicious?" Tang Yi shook his head and said: "Ding Si costs 10,000 yuan, and jade food is often Luo Zhen." I commented on Yangzhou Gong, this thing is really amazing - it is the hairy crab in Yangzhou, but I specially asked people to send it quickly, if you don't eat it, I will eat it myself. ”
"How can you!" Mao Kun hurriedly sat down, stretched out his hand and picked out a big one, skillfully held the tool, dismantled the crab into eighteen shapes, and ate it with a sullen head.
Zhu Xian also came up, a mouthful of crabs, a sip of wine, eating and drinking, hearty. Sun Keyuan and Jiang Zhou looked at each other, don't be stunned, let's eat!
In the end, Wu Tiancheng and Tang Hezheng were left, and the two of them felt a little embarrassed to stand, so they also entered the table, and the aroma of crabs pierced their nostrils. Tang Hezheng paused and joined the army of gluttons. Only Wu Tiancheng sat in his position, as if he hadn't seen the delicacy in front of him at all, and the whole person was in a daze.
Tang Yi gnawed off a crab, burped, and when he looked up, he happened to see Wu Tiancheng. Immediately, Tang Yi frowned.
"If you don't like crabs, just say, there are wrapped dumplings in the kitchen, cook two catties for you."
"Thank you Master for your concern." Wu Tiancheng opened his mouth, grabbed a crab, stared at it for a long time, and put the crab on the plate in a huff.
"Master, I can't eat all the words I have."
"If you have something to say, just say it, who stopped you." Tang Yi said casually.
didn't wait for Wu Tiancheng to speak. Tang Hezheng hurriedly said, "Senior brother, I made a bet with my nephew just now. ”
"What bet?" Tang Yi asked curiously.
Tang Hezheng smiled proudly and talked about the ...... Tang Yi appointed him as the Shaoqing of Dali Temple, and the most excited person was Wu Tiancheng, who had struggled for so long, and finally it was time to harvest.
Next, just waiting for Tang Yi to wave his hand and kill those big salt merchants one by one, and the salt profits of Lianghuai fell into their hands.
For this reason, Wu Tiancheng also published a wonderful two-point theory of the world!
"Today's Jin merchants have a hundred years. Occupy the sky and command the world, this sincerity cannot compete with it. The traffic line is based on Koto. It's been 10 years. The benefits of the sea are thriving. The general trend of the world, Jin Shang and the southeast, the two parts of the world, Jiangnan, Fujian and Zhejiang, Huguang, Jiangxi, Liangguang, Sichuan provinces are all only traffic line life. Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, North Zhili, Shaanxi and Gansu are all in the hands of Jin merchants. Ironclad and impermeable. The two Huai salt merchants, between the two, control the world's salt profits, the most abundant. Take down the two Huai. Go north to defeat the Jin merchants and dominate the world, none other than the traffic line is ......"
Wu Tiancheng is constantly talking, and he has a posture that will determine the country by a war, and the prospects he depicts are really tempting enough.
From the current point of view, the situation is also the same as the region, the Jin merchants have a deep foundation, the southeast momentum is rapid, when it comes to financial resources, the two should be four or six ratios, and the southeast has a slight advantage.
But the Jin merchants have two Huai salt merchants as allies, enough to make up for the disadvantage, the two sides are evenly matched, if the two Huai are taken, and the salt profits are taken, it is equivalent to unloading one of the arms of the Jin merchants, and then taking advantage of the victory to pursue, defeat the Jin merchants, there are really some eyebrows.
Just when Wu Tiancheng's eyebrows fluttered and he could speak energetically, Tang Hezheng suddenly said, "Senior brother will not be in a hurry to do it." ”
"How not?" Wu Tiancheng was unconvinced and said: "Master said that he invited us to eat crabs, what do you mean, the crabs have eight claws, and they happen to be Wang Lutai and their eight salt merchants, and Master is going to do it!" ”
Eight claws are the eight salt merchants!
You've thought enough!
"I think it's just an ordinary drinking party."
"Impossible!" Wu Tiancheng said categorically: "Why don't we make a bet?" ”
"Okay!" Tang Hezheng was a teenager and immediately agreed. Tang He pledged a father's sword, and Wu Tiancheng pledged an agarwood bracelet, which was worth five thousand taels of silver, and Mao Kun and Zhu Xian were witnesses......
After Tang Hezheng finished speaking, he stretched out his hand in front of Wu Tiancheng and shook it.
"How about it, nephew, I am willing to lose the bet, and hand over the things quickly!"
Wu Tiancheng took off the bracelet and suddenly hesitated again.
"I declare it first, it's not that I'm reluctant to have a bracelet, I just can't understand why I don't hurry up with a great opportunity!"
Wu Tiancheng looked questioning, looking at Tang Yi, Zhu Xian and Sun Keyuan were also a little confused. But the old god Mao Kun was there, and said with a smile: "If the imperial court really wants the adult to deal with the salt merchants, it should be given to the squire of the criminal department, or the imperial history, so that the name is justified, not to a young secretary of Dali Temple, the old man looks at this position, it is more like it is prepared for the adult after returning to Beijing." ”
"Mr. Kamon said yes!" Tang Yi sighed and nodded, glanced at Wu Tiancheng, and shook his head slightly, "You have always worked hard in the local area all these years, and the local rules are different from the imperial court." Go back and hand over all the affairs in your hands to the people below, go to the Guozi Prison to donate a prisoner, take a good look at the study in the capital, and think about it with a lot of heart! ”
Master punished himself!
Wu Tiancheng's face changed wildly in fright, and he hurriedly stood up, bowed his head and stood up, trembling uneasily.
As a leader of a team, you should not only be gracious, but also resentful, simply put, rewards and punishments are clear. Wu Tiancheng acted privately, Tang Yi could forgive him for his past feelings, but if he didn't give a little punishment, he would break the rules, and the people below would go violent one after another, causing Tang Yi countless troubles.
From a powerful traffic manager to a student, this is the way Tang Yi has thought of dealing with it a long time ago, but he took the opportunity to say it today.
Seeing Wu Tiancheng's trembling and uneasy appearance, Tang Yi was a little unbearable, but his face was still cold and unpretentious.
"Tiancheng, you have called me Master for many years, but in fact, I just taught you the ability to keep accounts for a few days, as for other ...... Speaking of which, it is also a dereliction of duty on my part as a master, so let me teach you a lesson today! ”
This time the price of salt fluctuated, almost causing a catastrophe for the people, so that the court and His Majesty realized that salt is a civilian resource, and it will be dangerous to be manipulated in the hands of a group of people. Therefore, I suppressed the price of salt, and even the strict party did not dare to say anything. His Majesty gave me Shaoqing of Dali Temple, which is a reward for me, but it is not a signal for me to kill. The reason is the same as before, Your Majesty does not want to see the big salt merchants control the price of salt, can you be willing to let a courtier control the salt? ”
Suck!
Cold sweat flowed down Wu Tiancheng's sideburns, and he finally understood the gap between himself and his master.
He is like a small fish in the water, only seeing the bait, not the hook behind it. I only saw a good situation, but I ignored the hidden dangers behind!
Tang Yi stood up, sighed with his hands: "The current situation is delicate, and it is definitely not something that outsiders can see through. Although Yan and Xu have reached the juncture of a decisive battle, but the two sides have been entangled for more than ten years, Xu Ge Lao and Yan Lao are still children and daughters, you have me, I have you, and the courtiers are even more so, not to mention anything else, King Jing's teacher Yuan Wei used to be a student of Xu Ge Lao, but he was good friends with Yan Shifan, and people said that King Jing's party was attached to the Yan Party. But not long ago, it was Yuan Wei who took action to drive Wu Shan, one of the cadres of the Yan Party, away and replace him. ”
Tang Yi said lightly, but everyone present, except for the experienced Mao Kun, everyone else was shocked and shuddered!
A friend's friend is not necessarily a friend, an enemy of an enemy, or an enemy, messy, a mess, even if it is an insider, he may not know what role he plays.
Why did Tang Yi dare to attack the salt merchants, wasn't he afraid of the Jin Party behind the salt merchants? What's even more strange is why didn't the Jin Party stand up to help?
To put it bluntly, it is the sequelae of Yang Shun's case. The Jin Party designed to kill Yang Shun and occupy the nine sides. Yan Dang was afraid that the Jin Party would fall to Xu Jie, so he admitted his bad luck.
But are they willing to suffer?
No, as soon as Tang Yi made a move, they were also happy to see the Jin merchants unlucky, as for Xu Jie, he also wanted to watch Tang Yi and Jin Shang make trouble, and then forced Tang Yi to completely fall to Xu Jie and seek refuge. Xu Jie's previous losses can be made up.
After listening to Tang Yi's explanation, the big guys were all in a cold sweat, oh my God!
It's chilling how deep the water is.
Wu Tiancheng's face completely collapsed, and he slapped himself and opened four mouths left and right. His knees weakened, and he knelt on the ground in convincing, "The disciple almost caused a big disaster for the master, the disciple should die!" ”
"Get up." Tang Yi let out a long sigh and said: "I'm dancing on the tip of the knife now, if I'm not careful, I will be riddled with holes and die with no place to be buried." ”
Wu Tiancheng was ashamed, "Master, you should quickly withdraw and retreat, anyway, the price of salt has also come down, and the disciple is scared!" If you make a mistake and the sky falls, what can we do! ”
Mao Kun suddenly opened his eyes and sneered: "I finally know that I am afraid, the adults are too kind!" He nodded, turned his head, and said to Tang Yi: "My lord, in the old man's opinion, Your Majesty has already rewarded the officials, and you can also retire with success." ”
Tang Yi hesitated for a moment, and said with a smile: "Mr. Lumen, I am not a person who is anticlimactic, the big guys can rest assured, the initiative is still in our hands, and besides, those crabs are already eight mature, if you don't eat them, I won't stop it!" (To be continued.) )
PS: At that complicated time, the sequelae of the killing Quartet seemed to be really not small, Xiao Tang didn't want to die, what do you have any opinions on the plot, you can mention more!
