17. Alcoholics

The second floor of the restaurant was already full of people, most of them were white-clothed scholars, but they were all disheveled, and there was a strong smell of alcohol in the air.

Fang Ping knew as soon as he smelled it that this was a high-concentration Daqu soju.

At the beginning of the crossing, he thought about refining high-grade liquor to sell, but it turned out that people in this time and space had long been able to make distilled spirits.

By the time the Golden Family ruled Daqian, distilled spirits had become popular and quickly became popular across the country.

Nowadays, under the rule of the Hongwu Dynasty, winemaking has become popular among the people.

From the famous products such as Golden Stem Dew, Taixi White, and Changchun White in the Imperial Palace, to the folk famous wines, there are more and more endless, and the scholars with a little head and face all like to "start making wine".

There are 33 kinds of homemade sake in Luoyi alone.

The sign hanging in front of the cabinet of this restaurant is even more dazzling.

The amount of alcohol drunk by the great cadres is very staggering.

During the reign of Emperor Wanshou, in Heluo Province alone, one million stone wheat was consumed every year as a raw material for making koji.

If these koji are used to make wine, it will cost another 10 million stone rice.

At the beginning of the founding of Hongwu, Taizu's battle to recover Liaodong only used 1.2 million stone of military rations. He made enough wine for his old man to fight ten battles.

Therefore, it is not wine at all, but food, and human life.

These are all seen by Fang Ping from Fang Lian's early documents, "Persuasion to Strike Wine" made Fang Lian famous, became a leader in the "Clear Stream", and even won the post of Heluo Yushi.

However, after so many years, the recommendations on the cantata have not been thrown into a corner.

The winery in Luoyi consumes 600,000 stone of sorghum a month.

In the years when the world was peaceful, how much grain was "drunk" like this.

This year, a severe drought swept through the five northern provinces, killing at least 10 million people.

And the "sake brewing industry" has also become an important "murderer".

At the height of the famine, large quantities of grain were taken away from the winery.

Including the large amount of grain hoarded by the rich sheep owner before, it was also intended to be sold to the winery.

The old men in the capital couldn't see the corpses and bones everywhere outside, and making wine involved their "rice silver", so they refused to stop drinking, so that the disaster became more and more serious......

Fang Ping witnessed this tragedy of cannibalism, but in fact, except for one-third of the natural disasters, the rest were all man-made disasters.

Corruption and self-serving are everywhere.

The Great Qianhongwu Dynasty has been rotten from the inside out.

Surrounded by everyone, there was a madman sitting directly on the table, looking at his appearance as a human, but at the moment he was angry, holding a jar of wine in his hand, raising his head and pouring it on his face, more like taking a bath.

"Click" slammed the wine jar, and reprimanded angrily: "Lord Fang asked for the people's life, but ended up in prison, could it be that the heavenly official master in the capital couldn't do it with his eyes closed!" ”

Master Tianguan is another name for the emperor among the people.

It seems that the news of his father's imprisonment has spread, and perhaps with the help of Shilin's voice, he can get out of the way.

Fang Lian is a clear stream, and the biggest force behind him is this group of scholars......

"In my opinion, the officials of the capital are always better than the magistrates! As soon as the gate is closed, despite the singing and dancing, it doesn't matter if the flood outside is monstrous! ”

"It's extreme, it's extreme! Those silverfish only know how to make money, where have they done half of the work! ”

"Finally, if you come out with a good official who dares to speak for the people, you will be killed by them!"

These white-clothed scholars, taking advantage of the alcohol, said a few words, and the crowd was angry, at first they only scolded those who were officials, and then I don't know who started it, and they scolded the royal family.

The most interesting thing to scold has to be the crazy life sitting on the table.

"In the Hongwu Dynasty, there were no permanent people.

Taizu is a good Tibetan head, and Emperor Hui likes to touch the blind fish.

Uncle Taizong seized the position of nephew, Renzong was fond of eating, and Xuanzong was even better at crickets......

Needless to say, Yingzong has called the Son of Heaven the only one throughout the ages.

Wu Zong's prostitute is just that, but fortunately, Longyang, indulgence, how ridiculous!

Emperor Shizong Wanshou, the first of the dynasties, led demons into the palace, and left disaster to his descendants.

Mu Zong worked hard for the harem and died. Shenzong destroyed the world's academy and ruined the country's fortunes. The Light Sect is riddled with evil diseases, and it must be a demon.

Xizong is even more Lu Ban alive, and the Ministry of Industry should be a virtuous ......

The disaster of a hundred years has been tired to this day. There are demons in the court, traitors form a party, there are strong criminals outside, and thieves intrude, and the period of my great destruction is not far away! ”

sprinkled a hundred-word essay, and everyone was stunned.

Fang Ping was also stunned, this is, the troll has become a sperm!

He coughed lightly and asked weakly, "How is it today?" ”

The madman glanced at Fang Ping, shook his head, looked compassionate, and only said two words.

"Poor."

Poor emperor!

"Liu Sheng, what do you do!"

An old student with gray temples asked, looking at his clothes, he should be an old showman.

The madman surnamed Liu squinted and smiled: "When the inner palace was repaired, the stone was too big to be stuck at the city gate and could not be transported, and the Son of Heaven was extremely angry, and ordered to beat the stone with sixty sticks......"

As soon as the words came out, everyone was amused, but only one scholar asked:

"Well, what about sixty sticks?"

I don't know if this kind of palace secret is true or not, in short, everyone is just having fun, and it will be boring if you have to be more real.

Crazy Sheng glanced at the scholar with a simple face, and listened to the others, "Zhu Sheng, just listen, don't ask more." ”

"It's him......"

Someone muttered in a low voice, it turned out that this Zhu Sheng was a well-known honest scholar in Los Angeles, with a bold temperament but a dull nature, and was often teased.

Once, this Zhu Sheng got drunk and made a bet with someone to go to the temple to carry the statue of the judge......

I didn't expect this guy not only to dare to carry it, but also to carry it back and forth.

Crazy Sheng didn't seem to know Zhu Sheng, smiled, stared at him and said, "Can this old man believe in his past life and this life?" ”

Fang Ping chuckled in his heart, and looked at the mad sheng with burning eyes, but when he saw him holding chopsticks, he shook his head and said:

"Everyone has a past life and this life, and you are sluggish in this life, just because of the remnants of your nature in your previous life......"

"Last life? Liu Sheng, tell me, what was Zhu Sheng in his last life! The people around him cheered.

The madman knocked on the table with his chopsticks: "It's all written in the name......"

Everyone laughed, but Zhu Sheng was still ignorant.

"Zhu Sheng, he's sarcastic that you're a pig, hahaha!"

"No, no, no, I see, pigs are smarter than him......"

Zhu Sheng shook his head, there was no angry look on his face, he just said lightly: "It's a pig...... And how? ”

"You see, the tail of this life has not been plucked clean, so people can't be smart."

After the madness finished speaking, the people around him began to coax, and they all went to lift Zhu Sheng's clothes to see if he really had a tail behind him.

Only then did Zhu Sheng become angry, scolded "nonsense", and turned around to leave.

"Boring...... Boring ......"

Crazy Shengsheng said seriously: "This matter of the reincarnation of life and death is indeed not a lie......

"What, Liu Sheng, have you seen it with your own eyes? You are a heavenly official in the heavens, or the king of Hades in the earth! ”

He nodded wildly, and sang with chopsticks:

"The road is good, the clouds and mountains are foggy!

The name is famous, six desires and seven feelings!

In the past life, he was free,

Purity in this life.

Six Paths of Reincarnation Destiny,

The king of Hades said that my life is hard......"

Although the lyrics are easy to understand, Liu Sheng's tune has a unique underworld style, which makes people feel ethereal and uncertain after listening to it.

After singing the song, everyone quieted down, and Zhu Shengpestle was at the staircase and didn't leave.

Liu Sheng picked up the second jar of wine, washed his face again, and then said:

"How was it in the previous life, it has its own destiny! I think that for several lifetimes, I have been a pig, a dog, a cow, a horse, and a little snake, and I finally became a human being in my previous life. And guess what, he became a eunuch with no clues! ”

The big guys all laughed, crazy people can make fun of themselves, and they are open-minded people.

"It's just a matter of being a eunuch, guess what? That night, I was serving Lafayette (the same way as the Queen Mother since Wanshou) to eat, but I didn't stand firm under my feet, and a big bowl of hot soup was buckled on Lafayette's head.

Hot Galeries Lafayette is rolling all over the floor. Hey, that's called a beauty, that's called a villain, that's called an authenticity! Before I could take a second look, the road dragged out of the noon gate...... As soon as my eyes are opened, it's another life! ”

Everyone took it as a joke, and everyone stomped their feet in laughter, and the wooden floor on the second floor was shaking.

This crazy life surnamed Liu is a bit interesting, you can make friends!

Fang Ping was just about to get up, when he suddenly heard the sound of squirming footsteps downstairs, and one person exclaimed:

", Jinyiwei is here!"
