Chapter Forty-Eight

"Hard-mouthed." The simple young man next to him pursed his lips and said: "Take a peek and see the whole leopard, this Hanzhong has only been attached to General Li for a year, and there is such a weather, so Yizhou and Guanzhong can be imagined." What about Liangzhou? The weather must have been unimaginable! ”

The handsome young man's eyes flashed and he was silent.

The simple young man said again: "Xiao Liangzi, you are just deceived by others, so that you have preconceived ideas and take it for granted that you are just deceiving yourself." That Liu Jingsheng and his princes smeared General Li, criticized it vigorously, and counted all kinds of tyranny, all of which were not true. It's just to ensure the stability of his rule. Imagine, if this weather is well known, wouldn't the people be shaken and the rule of the princes unstable? If the people flock to migrate, how do you let Liu Jingsheng and others get different? ”

"Little Brother Pang is reasonable." The rest of the young people were convinced.

The old man bowed his head slightly, and said: "As Tong'er said, not only Liu Jingsheng, but also Yuan Benchu of Jizhou and Cao Mengde of Yanzhou are doing the same thing. Solid rule, that's all. Of course, there are also families behind the promotion of this point, which should be clear. ”

The simple boy nodded.

"But" The handsome young man hesitated for a moment and said: "This world is owned by the Han family, and this Li Chongxiao has no king and no father."

"Confused!"

The simple young man said again: "Four hundred years ago, this world was owned by the Liu family? Now that the princes have risen together, the Han family has existed in name only, and it has come time to change the dynasty. This is the general trend of humanity, why do you hold on to the declining Han family? You see this mediocrity, people live and work in peace and contentment, and they don't even see a beggar along the way. Look at the pedestrians, all with their ruddy faces and high spirits, isn't this prosperity enough to satisfy you? Isn't the scene of prosperity the desire of all the people, and the ideal of our scholars? ”

"It makes sense." All the rest of the people said yes.

The handsome young man's face was tangled and silent.

In the middle of the line, you will be in the heart of the city.

The tough young man pointed to a large green area in the center of the city and said, "After walking for so long, let's go and rest for a while." It is a city park square that was built only in the second half of last year, and the environment inside is quiet, and it is a good place to rest. ”

The construction of this city park square is rooted in Jiuzhou City.

In Jiuzhou City, there are many similar leisure environments. As a result, counties and counties around the country began to follow suit.

Unexpectedly, while the people applauded, it also set off a business opportunity.

Many businessmen saw that there was a large flow of people in this park square in the morning and evening, so after consulting the official opinion, they carried out business activities in this park square.

In the middle of the park is a small square, surrounded by a green parkland. Around this square, among the beautiful woods and flowers, there are various commercial buildings such as wine shops and teahouses.

In order to reflect the environment here, these wine shops, teahouses and other buildings are made of wood and bamboo, which looks very close to nature.

The group led the donkey into the park, and saw that under the big trees and among the flowers, there were faint stone benches and stone tables. Some old people gathered around to talk and laugh heartily, and some children with bigger farts were playing and laughing, and there was a harmonious atmosphere.

"That teahouse has the best environment."

The tough young man pointed to a bamboo building hidden by the woods in a winding place, and said, "When I returned from my study tour, I stayed in that teahouse, which is very good. ”

When I arrived at the door of the teahouse, I saw a big banner with a tea word written on it, standing at the door of the teahouse. Seeing the arrival of the guests, Xiao Er hurriedly welcomed them into the teahouse.

Walking into the teahouse, it was a small but elegantly decorated hall, with only one counter in the hall and some couches in the corners next to it.

Xiao Er led a few people to the counter, and the tough young man stepped forward and said to a simple girl behind the counter: "There are seven of us here, and we need a quiet, larger compartment." ”

The girl smiled sweetly and kindly, and soon arranged a compartment for everyone.

Under the guidance of Xiao Er, everyone looked all the way and arrived in the compartment.

After each of them sat down, the tough young man said to Xiao Er: "Tea leaves and tea sets for seven people, and a few desserts and snacks." ”

After Xiao Er left, the old man spoke: "This compartment has a good environment. ”

Not bad indeed.

The whole building is made of bamboo, and there is a smell of bamboo in the house. There are also some calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall, although they are not made by famous artists, but they also give people a sense of elegance. The side windows are wide open, and some tender green branches and leaves stick in through the windows, which is in harmony with nature.

"I've never seen this kind of teahouse, and I don't have it in Xiangyang City." The simple young man said: "I didn't expect there to be someone doing this business." ”

The tough young man laughed and said, "This is not just a tea business, otherwise it is different from the tea stalls on the roadside?" If you want to eat and drink, you can also enjoy high-end banquets. There is also a variety of dessert snacks with everything you need. You can also watch singing and dancing, which is very rich. You must know that this teahouse is owned by the Yan family in Yizhou, and the Yan family is a big businessman. ”

"It's Yan's teahouse?" The rest of the people were a little surprised.

"It is rumored that this teahouse model was first raised in Liangzhou." The tough young man said, "Look at the small stove on this table, which is used to make tea. The tea here is different from ordinary tea, and I will tell you more about it after Xiao Er offers the tea set later. ”

But for a moment, two little two came in.

Brought tea leaves, tea sets, a pot of water, dessert snacks, and a small bag of charcoal.

Respectfully set up the dessert snacks, then fiddled for a while, put the charcoal into the small stove, lit it, made a gesture, and said: "If you have any needs, you can shout at any time, and the small ones are waiting outside the door." ”

With that, he exited the cubicle.

The tough young man got up and began to fiddle with it, and said, "You see, this tea is not a tea cake, but a leaf. The way of making tea is also unusual."

"You don't need to add any condiments, it's just pure tea."

"I heard that this way of drinking tea was first started by General Li. And it was respected by the Duke of Ciming and the Duke of Bo, so it spread and gradually became loved by everyone from all walks of life. ”

After a long time, the tea was brewed, and the tough young man poured a cup for everyone, then sat down, picked up the teacup, closed his eyes slightly, sniffed it first, and then took a sip, his face was intoxicated.

The rest of the people did the same, and they did the same with the tough young man.

The old man took a sip of tea, only to feel that the fragrance of tea lingered on his lips and teeth, and the aftertaste was endless: "Good!" ”

"I thought General Li was just a martial artist, but I didn't expect to invent such an elegant way to drink tea," a young man sighed.

"Guangyuan's words are wrong." The old man said with a smile: "How can General Li be a simple martial artist if he has the power he has now, has such a weather under his rule, and is respected by the Duke of Ciming and the Duke of Bo Jie?" ”

"I'm out of the way."

While drinking tea, eating desserts, enjoying the green spring light outside the window, it is refreshing.

The handsome young man sighed: "Seeing is indeed believing, I have heard a lot of slander, and now I can see it." ”

Subsequently, the tough young man called Xiao Er again: "Serve seven more portions of ginseng rice, one for the spiny pig, one for the red jade bird meat, and one for the red jade bird egg." Then serve a pot and a half pound of ginseng ale wine. ”

After a while, the wine and food are served with a fragrant aroma.

One of the young men smelled the aroma, looked at the crystal clear, full-bodied ginseng rice that was comparable to the little finger, and couldn't help sighing: "I, Meng Jian, have never seen such exquisite rice. ”

"This kind of exquisite food, in fact, is available in Xiangyang, but it is very expensive." The simple young man said: "I occasionally have one or two meals at home, and I heard that Liu Jingsheng and Cai Mao have this kind of diet at their home. ”

The handsome young man shook his head and sighed: "While trying his best to smear the black family, while enjoying other people's specialties, this is too"

Everyone in the room shook their heads.

After the meal, they were full of wine and food, and their faces were full of satisfaction.

"Compared with Jingzhou, the food here is really cheap." The simple young man said: "Such a meal, just the materials, in Jingzhou at least one Liangzhou gold coin." And here, there are only three silver coins, which is more than seventy percent less. ”

"It can't be said to be cheap." The tough young man said: "The purchasing power of Liangzhou's currency is very strong. A stone of ginseng rice is only a silver coin. We ate three stones of ginseng rice this time! ”

Everyone laughed.

The old man sighed: "If I can eat like this, I can live for a few more decades." ”

"Haha," the tough young man said with a smile, "Now under General Li's rule, aren't the common people eating like this?" ”

When everyone heard this, they were speechless.

Out of the teahouse, the group led the donkey, rested for a while on the public stone bench next to it, and the tough young man said: "I have to find a place to store the donkey." For the rest of the trip, you don't need a donkey. ”

"How?"

"When I returned to Jingzhou in early spring, I heard that General Li wanted to popularize the public transportation system everywhere. I asked Xiao Er just now, Shangyong's public transportation station has been opened, take the giant beast car, change a few times halfway, and soon arrive in Nanzheng. ”

"Public transport system?"

Everyone was puzzled.

The tough young man explained: "I heard that it is a system specially set up for the welfare of the people, in order to facilitate the travel of the people. I can't say the specifics, but I've heard about it. ”

"Then go to that site and take a look!"

The group walked around the city, but did not find a place to put the donkeys, so they had no choice but to sell the donkeys, and then asked for directions and went to the public transportation station.

This mediocre public transport stop is just outside the West Side.

Overall, it is a wide plaza with a wooden corridor inside. It is surrounded by a fence, there are wide entrances and exits on the left and right, and there is a huge wooden sign in front of it, which reads 'Shangyong City Juli Beast Car Public Transport Station'.

With the bustling flow of people, the group entered the station from the entrance, and saw dozens of huge monsters standing quietly outside the corridor in the square!

"Shhh

In an instant, all seven of them looked shocked and took a cool breath.

The monster was so great that it was at least a foot tall and several feet long, and the man stood on the ground only as long as the crutified legs of the monster.

Next to the monster, there was a driver driving a car. The coachmen's costumes were carved out of a mold, and the words 'public transport' were tattooed on their chests.

Behind the huge monster, there is a huge carriage. The skeleton of the carriage was made of metal, the rest of the carriage was made of wood, and there were ten huge wheels on each side of the side. The carriage was connected by two huge iron chains, which were fastened to the behemoth.

"This is the Giant, right?"

"It should be known by listening to the name, what else can such a big guy be called besides the giant beast?" (To be continued.) )
