Section 24: Yan Zhi's invitation to guests

"Brother Keming, the dog returned drunk from the Qinglou two days ago, but the old man didn't have the slightest resentment in his heart, just saw that he was sweating through his clothes, and it was obvious that he had fainted, but the Cheng family kid said that he was drunk, and the lie he said with his eyes open made the old man's heart warm."

"So, that day's "Heavenly Demon Dance" beloved this kid also went to see it? The dog was sent back by Yun Ye, the symptoms were exactly the same as the bereavement, it was clearly fainting, Yun Ye also said that he was drunk, these children secretly went to the front station for us, afraid that we would be worried, so they casually sprinkled some wine on their bodies and said that they were drunk, who could they deceive. โ€

"After waking up in the early morning, I had a detailed discussion with the old man, last night's "Heavenly Demon Dance" was indeed dangerous and abnormal, and they took the abstinence medicine given by Sun Daochang, and they were still confused and dizzy, and wearing a pig's mouth didn't have much effect, but there were also those who survived, Yun Ye, Cheng Chumo, His Royal Highness King Wei, and the three of them survived to the end."

"Haha, they are all good children, whether they survive or not, they are all filial sons, a hundred kinds of rice to raise a hundred kinds of people, as long as these children abide by filial piety, they are enough to gain a foothold in Chang'an, Yun Ye, King Wei is not counted, they are the best among people, Cheng Chumo can survive it, it makes no sense that the old man and others will not survive? Haha, you and I have been dealing with danger all our lives, and this time it's just a small threshold. โ€

The two bigwigs in Zhongshu Province looked at the paperwork in their hands, chatting casually, and seemed to be in a happy mood, and the haze that Pei Lin brought to the court seemed to dissipate all at once.

The small Wa Kingdom was not worthy of such attention, the country of the rising sun to the letter of the sun, at the beginning of this national letter, it made countless courtiers angry, and the angry generals almost wanted to go crazy, roaring to slaughter the country, destroy the contributions, burn their ancestral temples, and sail the expedition is not yet something that Li Er can consider, there are too many uncertain factors. The top priority now is to destroy the confidence of the Tuyuhun people. It is only right that it does not dare to have the slightest disrespect.

That's why Li Er pressed his anger and watched the princess jump up and down, but he didn't expect this woman to actually make a grand event of "Heavenly Demon Dance" and kill Pei Lian, which embarrassed the Tang Dynasty, and as Li Er's birthday approached, the envoys from all sides lingered in Chang'an. If you want to pinch that hateful woman to death, you can't help it now.

At the dance party that day, Li Er was not at the scene, but there was an extremely detailed report on the table, and when the eldest grandson saw Yun Ye pulling the head of the mountain goat aside again and again, he couldn't stop laughing.

Li Tai's cousin xiร n eldest grandson was also very satisfied. From beginning to end, although the wolf bรจi was a little bit, he finally survived, worthy of his genius son, if there was no masked dancing girl, Qingque would definitely be unharmed.

"Queen, Yun Ye got that woman to the academy, hum, hum. What a big dog guts. That woman was the concubine favored by her father, and she was a royal face. should also be sent to the Ganye Temple, what is the matter with him getting back to the academy? โ€

"Your Majesty, don't forget that woman is a dead person, there is no such woman on the harem roster of the concubine, and there is no record in the Zongren Mansion, and the Emperor Taishang also thinks that this woman is dead, and she is dead, and he still thinks about what she does. She has no blood and bones, no clan, and her face is completely ruined, she is destined to be a lonely ghost, you should not see this little insect under your feet, lift your feet, and step on it in another place. โ€

Li Er nodded, he killed a total of sixteen people this year, which is a good sign, if there are less than twenty people who die at the end of the year, it will be the year of great governance, and he cares about this matter very much now. If you are left behind, let her live.

"Your Majesty, the spy report said that Yun Ye seems to have a way to deal with "Heavenly Demon Dance", what do you think."

"These little things were originally what he was supposed to do, I didn't have time to care about these, that day I went to Yun's house to see the making of vermicelli, this is the big thing, the yield of potatoes is too high, I was worried about storage, now I don't have to think about it, the vermicelli that kid sent into the palace tastes really good, I ate a lot last night, and the balls will be at noon today."

"How to make vermicelli concubines is personally hands-on, the palace has done a lot, the imperial garden is full of vermicelli, the emperor thought it was a new scene, and said it looked good."

"It's really beautiful, I can't get enough of several scenes, one is the yellow and clear wheat field, the other is the fruity orchard, the other is the grassland full of cattle and sheep, and then there is the black oppressive military array, now there is one more, a white piece of vermicelli, haha, with these, the mountains and rivers don't look at it."

"Yun Ye still insisted on taking a thousand yuan from the concubine, saying that it was the cost of the academy to sell patents, and the three hundred yuan of the small civilian household was enough, and when he arrived at the royal family, he had to ask for a thousand yuan, I thought it was given to the royal family, but who knew that in the end, there would be no one less."

"That's no problem, if the small civilian households also collect a thousand yuan, I will deal with it, Qingque said that in the future, the weaving machine will also take this path, the royal family can't hold all the industries in the palm of his hand, Qingque wants to let Yun Ye get involved, that kid is unmoved, planted a lot of cotton on the wasteland, said that thing is a good thing, a hard use of wool, in the end there will be a tragedy of sheep eating people, Qingque didn't understand what sheep eat people, so he ran to ask me, I thought about it for a long time to understand, The method of weaving wool is passed out, the wool will be in short supply, the number of sheep raisers will increase, the grassland will be larger and larger, and in the end, maybe the fertile land will also be planted with grass and sheep, after all, the profit of raising sheep is greater than that of farming, it doesn't matter if it encroaches on a little, if there are more, the farmer will have no way to live, maybe it will really die, so it is the sheep in his mouth to eat people. Now this kid is becoming more and more far-sighted, and if he cultivates for a few more years, he will definitely be a good helper in the future. โ€

As long as the court is involved, the eldest grandson will shut up immediately, but singing and dancing is such a thing, it is she who has the final say, Yun Ye will enter the palace today to tell herself the details, so she left the Wanmin Palace early and returned to her residence to wait for Yun Ye's arrival.

The Yun family inexplicably received a lot of gifts, looking at the gift list, they are all nobles in Chang'an, and the posts on them are all black letters on a red background, this is a gift personally chosen by the head of the family, there is no big event, it will not be so grand.

Also, no matter who has a filial son, the father will like it, Chai Shao's gift is the most special, a pair of bronze knights, as long as you look at the green rust on it, you will know that it is an antiquity, it has been blackened by play, it must be Chai Shao's beloved thing.

When you go to Yan's house, the copper ring on the door of his house may be hundreds of years old, and it is even more quaint to entertain guests.

"Old lady, can we not use bronze chopsticks. Look at this pair of chopsticks is big and heavy, it takes a lot of effort to clip a dish, your old man is not in good health, let's still use bamboo chopsticks, you see that you can't clip a vermicelli, and I have dropped my robe twice. โ€

"The old man also hates it, the rules of the family are like this, there are many rules for inviting people to eat, you don't know, the golden chopsticks are annoying, the old man has to rest three times for a meal, you are not qualified to use gold and silver, make up for life with copper. The vermicelli is delicious, but it's a pity that an old man like me can't restrain it, so I can only watch you eat, the meatballs, the tofu belong to me, and you eat all the green vegetable vermicelli. โ€

The Yan family invited four plates of dishes, green vegetables and tofu, bean sprouts, and a finger-long fish, which was all the dishes, and only at the strong request of the old man did they add an extra ball casserole, which was packed in a bronze tripod the size of a head, which was carried up by two servants, Yun Ye tried it, but he didn't pick it up with one hand.

"The ancients used this thing to eat? Your ancestors, is it so troublesome to eat? โ€

"Nonsense, the ancestors are poor, a scoop of drink, a spoonful of food is enough, these things are later added by our unscrupulous descendants, and now a guest has to have four plates of dishes, small rice, and it has become white rice, it is really unfilial."

"It's not right to say that you are not filial, Your Majesty and the civil and military generals of the Tang Dynasty, isn't it just to let the people in the world eat well and work so hard, if you are still drinking a scoop of food now, doesn't it mean that our clan is still spinning in the same place after a thousand years, and the children and grandchildren of later generations are all fools, and it has been a thousand years, and there has not been any growth."

"You know a fart, it's only been a matter of the past few years that you can eat well, and there were fewer people starving to death in previous years? The old man is 100 years old, and it stands to reason that he should have some knowledge, why does he stay awake at night when he sees a mountain of potatoes piled up in the field? โ€

Yun Ye shook his head, picked up the huge bronze spoon and helped Yan Zhitui take out the balls and tofu, put them in his bronze bowl, and sat back to wait for the old man to explain.

"It's not because of such a prosperous scene, the old man is also the first time to see it, when the Wagang Army opened the Luoyang East Warehouse, the rice and grain became a mountain, but the old man did not have the slightest joy, those grains were to be used as military food, speaking of which, the Wagang Army was putting grain on the people, do you know how much grain was put in total? Sue you, boy, 600 quintals, it's not that the Wagang army won't let others go, it's because the remaining people killed can only take 600 quintals of food, tell me, how many people are left? โ€

This argument made Yun Ye's hair stand on end, and he asked in a trembling voice: "Old lady, the army kills the nobles, the soldiers, and the rich man, can the kid understand, why do you kill the people even after entering the city?" If you kill all the people, who will pay the taxes? Who will help them raise the army? โ€

Yan Zhitui swallowed a piece of tofu in his stomach before staring at Yun Ye and said, "Then tell the old man why you want to burn Beisha and the second city of the king to the ground?" That's just the big king city, it's a military city, but there are 40,000 people in Beisha City. โ€

Yun Ye's chopsticks fell on the table as soon as he was long, and he hugged his head and whispered: "Beisha City is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and if the kid wants his subordinates to come back alive, he can't think about anything else." (To be continued.) )
