Chapter 260: Sun Chuanting's Request
Xi'an Mansion, the governor's temporary yamen, Sun Chuanting looked at the guards and nephews who were driven back just an hour after they went out, and rubbed the bridge of his nose with a headache, and his nephew Sun Jifang changed from being angry in the book business at the beginning to being depressed now, and he couldn't lift his spirit at all, hanging his head.
Sun Jifang is not afraid of the axe, if it is a bandit or an army that stands in the way, he will raise his eyebrows and point coldly at Qianfu, reflecting the discipline that his uncle taught him to be loyal to the country and die for the country since he was a child, but it is not the army or bandits who stand in the way, but a group of farmers who cultivate the land.
Their Sun family prides itself on being a scholarly family, and the purpose of the whole family is to ask for the people's lives, and the Sun family produces good officials, but how can a good official go against the people, and the people are against you, what kind of face do you have to say that you are a good official, it is simply ridiculous in the world.
This is the collapse of faith, Sun Chuanting was pacing all over the house at this time, and the head of the guard, Captain Zhang, said with a black face at this time: "Lord Sun, if they are rogues and mountain bandits, even if they are the officials of Lantian, I will ruthlessly swing a knife and slash and kill, but they are a group of peasants with hoes, what do you want me to do, I can't get it, kill the peasants?" ”
Zhang Xiaowei asked Sun Chuanting with a bitter face, Sun Chuanting glanced at Zhang Xiaowei, and Zhang Xiaowei said: "I know, it is definitely not okay to kill peasants, we are not rogues, what are we to kill peasants, but if we don't kill peasants, we will not be able to get by." ”
Sun Chuanting said fiercely at this time: "The thief who steals the country, the traitor is like loyalty, Hong Chengchou misleads the country!" ”
Sun Chuanting scolded hatefully, if Lantian just had a little sprout, Hong Chengchou would use thunderous means to remove Li Chaosheng, and then sort out Lantian would definitely not let these people have the same heart as Lantian.
Now that Lantian has become a power, the interests of the people are tied to Lantian, if you want to take Lantian, you must first take Lantian and rule 2.3 million people, so many people are against the imperial court, what should I do? Kill? “
Killing is definitely not possible, 2.3 million people, how to kill, all of them have been killed?
What do you think?
Even Chongzhen didn't have the courage to do such a thing, and 2.3 million people were made of mud? When you raise the butcher's knife, they will become fierce thieves, and more than 100,000 thieves in northern Shaanxi will make the imperial court anxious, 2.3 million.
Sun Chuanting didn't dare to think, especially in such a critical period, Liaodong Tartars committed the border, northern Shaanxi thieves were fierce, Shanxi, Henan, and Shandong were also thieves, and many other provinces in the imperial court also had people waiting and watching.
The imperial court had no money and no food, and the huge empire slipped into the abyss little by little, accumulating heavy burdens.
Under such circumstances, to oppose 2.3 million people, or even to force them to rebel?
Sun Chuanting is not afraid of the impeachment of hundreds of officials, nor is he afraid of being killed by Chongzhen, but he is afraid that he will personally destroy the Ming Empire, he is really afraid, he can even be sure that if Lantian is really sanctioned, or even send troops to Lantian, Lantian will not sit idly by, if they rebel, Daming will be in danger.
Lantian is a bottle of poison in the desert, now Da Ming is dying of thirst, knowing that drinking this poison will cause a lot of trouble, but now if he doesn't drink it, he will die, Sun Chuanting has no power to return to the sky, he has not been so powerless for a long time.
Sun Chuanting sighed, sat on the chair, looked at Sun Jifang on the side and said angrily: "The imperial examination is about to start, don't stay with me in Shaanxi, go home to study, and take the imperial examination well." ”
"Ah, uncle."
Sun Jifang shouted, and Sun Chuanting said: "You go back by the way to think about a question, how should the country and the people be?" What about the king and the people? ”
Hearing this, Sun Jifang bowed down and said, "Yes." ”
Sun Jifang left, Sun Chuanting turned his head to look at Captain Zhang and said, "Do you have any other way?" ”
Captain Zhang said with a bitter face: "It's okay for subordinates to fight and kill, but I am not very proficient in this government affairs." ”
At this time, Sun Chuanting's housekeeper who was standing not far away said: "Master, I heard that the largest restaurant in Xi'an City, Yuxian Building, is making money every day, and the boss behind it is Li Chaosheng, the county governor of Lantian, can we use this as a hostage to force Lantian to comply?" ”
Sun Chuanting shook his head when he heard this: "This is a dispute of national fortunes, a restaurant can threaten Lantian, it is impossible, at most it is to provoke them, and it is not a smart move to provoke Lantian now." ”
Sun Chuanting thought about it and said, "Hey, Lantian Wei is not big, but it puts the old man in a dilemma, Sun Zhong." ”
"The old slave is here."
Sun Zhong, bowing down, Sun Chuanting said: "That little bit of silver and two go with the old man to the Yuxian Tower." ”
"Ah, sir, what are you doing in the Jade Immortal Tower?"
Sun Zhong asked in surprise, and Sun Chuanting smiled: "What can you do to go to a restaurant, eat." ”
"Then sir, how many guards should we bring with us?"
Sun Zhong asked, Sun Chuanting smiled bitterly: "You want the old man to empty the family, how many people are there, just you and me." ”
Sun Zhong was shocked when he heard this: "Master, that is Lantian's territory, you and I are not safe." ”
Sun Chuanting said: "It's okay, they want to kill the old man, there is a way, and now Lantian doesn't want to make this thing too dirty, because this kind of thing starts and doesn't end." ”
Sun Zhong didn't understand, but he still wanted Sun Chuanting to bring some people, at least ten or eight to bring it, Sun Chuanting really couldn't say: "Captain Zhang followed, the rest of the people don't have to follow, so it's decided, the old man changes into civilian clothes, and you all go back to change into civilian clothes." ”
Sun Chuanting had a very correct idea, turned around and walked out after saying this, and quickly changed into civilian clothes, and Captain Zhang also changed into civilian clothes, holding a knife in his hand, Sun Chuanting frowned and said: "Put the knife down, let's go to dinner, not to cut people." ”
"Ah, but my lord."
Zhang Xiaowei wanted to say something, but Sun Chuanting waved his hand and said: "Okay, listen to me, eat with a knife, do you want to compare knife work with the cook?" ”
Captain Zhang blushed and said, "Yes." ”
After speaking, he accepted the knife, but he brought two daggers with him, he didn't have any weapons on him, he was always unsteady, Sun Chuanting saw this and knew that it was impossible to persuade Captain Zhang not to bring weapons, but it was harmless to carry a dagger.
Soon Sun Chuanting went out with the two, and as soon as Sun Chuanting went out, the prefect Sun Wangzu got the news.
"My lord, my lord, Governor Sun is out."
Sun Wangzu was in a good mood, Lantian was powerful, and the five hundred captains sent by Sun Chuanting were driven back At this time, Sun Wangcai knew in his heart that it was very beautiful, so he drank a little wine and hummed a little song.
At this time, his subordinates reported that Sun Chuanting had left the house, and Sun Wangzu looked at the man in a daze: "Have you gone to Lantian?" ”
"No, I'm going to the Jade Immortal Tower."
"Oh."
Sun Wangzu took a sip of wine, and then the man said: "My lord, this Sun Chuanting is quite good at enjoying it, knowing that the food in Yuxian Mansion is good, this is to enjoy it, right?" ”
Sun Wangzu took a sip of wine and said, "Sun Chuanting is not a person who likes to enjoy. ”
"Oh, sir, what do you mean?"
Sun Wangzu smiled and said: "He is ready to make peace with Lantian, Lantian is now powerful, Hong Chengchou has no choice, he Sun Chuanting can have a way?" When he came to Lantian to be tough, he Sun Chuanting really thought that he, the governor, could do whatever he wanted? ”
Gu Han
"Yes, my lord is right, this Sun Chuanting is too self-conscious, or the adult is smart."
At this time, the man opened his mouth and patted Sun Wangzu's horse, Sun Wangzu did not show a happy expression when he heard this, but sighed and said: "Although I don't like Sun Chuanting, I have to say that he is a respectable person, but unfortunately I can't be such a person, and most of the officials of the Ming Dynasty can't do it." ”
Sun Wangzu thought about pouring himself another glass of wine, and hummed in his mouth: "Being an official for thousands of miles is only for money, don't rest assured that the people are on it, if you want to be a good official, who will you be busy with studying hard in the cold window." ”
Sun Wangzu thought about it and took a sip of wine.
"Is this the Jade Immortal Tower? Sure enough, the atmosphere. ”
Standing at the door of the Yuxian Building, Sun Chuanting saw the huge door of the Yuxian Building, with three big characters on the Yuxian Building, which was not a meal at this time, there were not many people in the Yuxian Building, but Xiao Er was very energetic, standing at the door and smiling at everyone, which was different from other restaurants.
At this time, Sun Chuanting and the three of them came to the door, Xiao Er's eyes were sharp, and he could see at a glance that Sun Chuanting was not a mortal, and his every move revealed the momentum of being an official. ”
Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Okay, please inside." ”
Saying that, Sun Chuanting followed Xiao Er to the building, Lao Tu was sitting on the second floor at this time, there was a separate small table, where he was located, and he would gather accounts here most of the day, or take a look at the flow of people or something.
This location is very small, it is a small table, at most a person sits opposite, and only one or two dishes can be placed on the small table, which belongs to the garbage position, and does not occupy the position of the guests in the store.
When everyone came in, Lao Tu saw Sun Chuanting at a glance, and Sun Chuanting also went around a lot, and saw Lao Tu, at this time Sun Chuanting's housekeeper said: "That is the person in charge of Lantian, known as Lao Tu." ”
Lao Tu glanced at Sun Chuanting, his eyes showed disgust, Sun Chuanting was keenly aware of it, but he didn't make any moves, but under the leadership of Xiao Er, he went to a dinner table.
Xiao Er took a menu at this time, Sun Chuanting took a look at the menu, and saw that it said 200 yuan of fried vegetables, three coins of silver for braised carp, three coins of silver for pork stew, and three coins of silver......
The price of this dish Sun Chuanting is a little toothy, it's really damn expensive, this braised carp, stewed vermicelli with pork doesn't say anything, but this fried green dish is 200 Wen?
This is too much, a stir-fried vegetable outside, at most, is only ten or twenty wen.
"Why is your fried vegetables so expensive?"
Sun Chuanting asked, and after hearing this, Xiao Er said: "Our family mainly serves high-end customers like you, the vegetables outside are cheap, but they are not delicious, our family's vegetables are fried, that is a must, otherwise it is impossible to sell so expensive, it is like meat and wheat bran can fill the stomach, but don't we prefer to eat meat?" ”
Xiao Er said, Sun Chuanting looked at Xiao Er and said, "You can explain the truth." ”
Xiao Er heard the words and said: "Serving people, what can you say, it's just that our things are worth the price, if you eat it once, you won't be able to eat other people's fried vegetables." ”
Hearing this, Sun Chuanting said: "Then bring these three dishes up." ”
"Okay, by the way, guest officer, do we have some sweet potato roast brewed by Lantian in our store?"
Sun Chuanting glanced at Xiao Er: "Sweet potato burning, it's okay." ”
Sun Chuanting said, Xiao Er went to pass the dishes, and soon the dishes came back, Sun Chuanting looked at the plate of bright green fried vegetables in front of him, what can this be, selling for 200 Wen, this Yuxian Mansion really dares to ask for a price.
As he spoke, Sun Chuanting reached out and grabbed a pair of chopsticks and put the vegetables in his mouth.
Well?!!
Sun Chuanting's eyes lit up: "This dish." ”
Saying that, Sun Chuanting put a chopstick into his mouth again, his face full of disbelief: "Why is this dish so tender?" Do you want to try it too? ”
Hearing this, the other two also picked up a pair of chopsticks, and the next moment a shock appeared on their faces, and Captain Zhang was even more surprised and asked, "Is this a green vegetable?" ”
At this time, Xiao Er smiled and said, "What's the matter, this dish is worth two hundred wen." ”
Xiao Er's face was proud, many people who came here to eat this dish were frightened by these two hundred texts, and wanted to taste it, but after eating, none of them were disappointed.
Sun Chuanting asked curiously at this time: "Why can your dish be so delicious?" “
Xiao Er said: "This is the exclusive craft of our master, and it can't be passed on, but it's not too expensive to sell you for these two hundred texts." ”
Sun Chuanting said: "If it is such a quality, it is reasonable. ”
Xiao Er smiled: "In this way, you can use it slowly." ”
After saying that, after a while, the braised carp and pork stewed vermicelli came up, these two dishes also have a unique flavor, it can be said that the quality of Yuxian Lou's dishes is much higher than others, which makes Sun Chuanting more surprised, sure enough, there are two brushes.
The secret method of Yuxian Lou is very simple, that is, modern seasonings, chicken essence, oil consumption, soy sauce light soy sauce, and all kinds of seasonings, the taste is absolutely unforgettable.
When the dishes came up, Sun Chuanting took a sip of Lantian's sweet potato roast, but he didn't expect the wine to be very strong, and it was hot and spicy in his mouth after drinking, but Sun Chuanting liked the taste very much.
Zhang Xiaowei had a big appetite, asked for three big white buns, and ate them, Sun Zhong originally wanted to restrain them, but it was too delicious, especially this vermicelli sucked the taste of gravy, it was so delicious.
Sun Chuanting drank wine, followed by standing up with a wine jug, Captain Zhang nibbled on a steamed bun and looked at Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting signaled him not to move, followed by a wine jug and a wine glass upstairs.
At this time, Lao Tu was settling accounts, and suddenly a figure came to him, Lao Tu looked up and saw Sun Chuanting looking at Lao Tu with blazing eyes, Lao Tu was stunned in his heart, but his expression remained the same, looking at Sun Chuanting, Sun Chuanting put down the wine glass at this time and said: "Have a drink with the old man?" ”
"The store stipulates that you can't drink the wine of your guests. ”
Sun Chuanting looked at the old man and said, "Are you hostile to the old man?" ”
The old man said: "No." ”
Sun Chuanting took a sip of wine and said, "You know the identity of the old man. ”
"I don't know."
Sun Chuanting smiled and said, "Help me bring a word, I will visit Lantian tomorrow, I hope no one will stop me." ”
Lao Tu looked up at Sun Chuanting and frowned: "You should tell the prefect." ”
"He's not as good as you, help me bring the words, and I'll see it, and I won't embarrass you."
Sun Chuanting turned around and went downstairs as he spoke, leaving only Lao Tu with a sad face.
