Chapter 3 On the Countless Barren Hills of the World

"Oh?"

Zhao Liangha glanced at the Taoist priest.

The emperor of the Great Yuan believed in all religions and rewarded monks, nuns and Taoists a lot.

Just like the monk Yang Lian Zhenjia, who dug up the tomb of the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty and made the head of Song Lizong into a Gabala bowl, because he broke the feng shui of the Great Song Dynasty, he was given hundreds of thousands of acres of tax collection rights by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty, and he was also named "President of Jiangnan Shijiao".

Therefore, there are often monks, lamas, monks, nuns, and Taoists who offer golden elixirs and immortal arts to the Great Yuan Emperor. Many monks, lamas, and Taoists are still white today, and tomorrow they will be favored as the Great Yuan National Teacher.

Nowadays, the most favored is naturally the great joy technique offered by the Tibetan monks, the emperor practiced, and many concubines can practice together, and they are happy.

Zhao Liangha only thought that this Taoist priest named Chen Sijiu wanted to send the Great Yuan Emperor immortal arts, but he didn't ask questions.

No way.

Emperor of the Great Yuan, since the death of Emperor Kublai Khan.

In the past forty years, the emperor has changed like a horse.

I heard that now the emperor seems to be bad again, and the Mongolian emperor of Dayuan is very unparticular.

The emperor's name is long and awkward, and it is extremely difficult to remember.

The name of the previous emperor collapsed before he remembered it.

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi, the northern Han people with the blood of the Great Jin Kingdom, did not have much good impression of the Mongols themselves, after the Mongols conquered the north, the Han people of the Jin Kingdom were killed quite heavily, more ruthless than the Southern Song Dynasty, especially the people in Shanxi, Henan and other places, in the early days of the Yuan Shizu, ten households shared a knife, and the Han people were not allowed to carry blades.

The sons of the Han military marquis who surrendered were also suppressed.

Whoever the emperor does is my bird's business.

Zhao Liangha gritted his teeth and felt a pain, and when he saw the tiger and tiger skin and the golden treasure, his eyes turned, and he took out a treasured wine gourd from his waist, and smiled at Chen Sijiu: "Since you tear the tiger to cook, little brother, I don't hide it, I have a good wine and a gourd here." ”

"I drank this wine with you, how about you give me this tiger skin?"

Chen Sijiu's eyes lit up.

couldn't help but swallow his saliva, in Tiefeng Mountain, the three masters will make wine, and let him drink more high liquor to exercise the amount of alcohol, because the emperors of Dayuan like to drink, feast the ministers, and every day is not drunk or happy.

If you can't drink, how can you gain the trust of Emperor Dayuan?

The emperor of Dayuan likes to reward his ministers after drinking, and by the way, he does a lot of foreign language sports together.

Besides, good meat with good wine, this tiger meat is pepper and pepper, spicy and refreshing, if there is no wine to drink, it is a pity.

According to the three masters, the spicy eggplant is the origin of Yingzhou, the Central Plains has never had, if this thing is introduced to China, the spicy in the five flavors can be named after this thing, so this spicy eggplant, can also be called chili, spicy, now here to taste the new taste of the world, when the floating white.

"Okay, it's better to have wine, it can relieve the fishy greasy."

Chen Sijiu laughed, the gourd of old ginseng wine he was carrying before he went out had already been drunk, and now the gluttonous worms in his stomach were muttering.

Liu Shishi was also pleasantly surprised: "We have such luck!" ”

He looked at Chen Sijiu enviously, and said sourly: "Little Taoist, you really have a face!" ”

"Our head, has always been thrifty, the last time we caught a Haidongqing, the emperor rewarded two hundred treasure money, begged him to invite us to eat two taels of liquor, he was reluctant, and finally replaced it with rice wine in the south, the thief was bored, and he had no face to go to the alley with the green hat Langjun after drinking."

The so-called "green hat Langjun" is the turtle of the Qinglou.

Dayuan's "Yuan Dian Chapter" stipulates that prostitutes and male relatives in Qinglou are required to wear green hats or headscarves on their heads and black gowns, so they are called Gui Gong as green hat Langjun.

Because of the Great Yuan, Confucian households were at the bottom of the stream, lower than prostitutes, and only a little higher than beggars.

The Confucian scholars entered the Qinglou restaurant one after another, wrote songs and compiled scripts, which made Dayuan's miscellaneous songs prosperous.

The music and dance prostitutes of Dayuan, very prosperous, not as good as the Tang Dynasty, but dozens of times more prosperous than the Song Dynasty, the Quyuan Miscellaneous Altar, especially the miscellaneous songs are very prosperous, the temples of the capital, can also openly store prostitutes, especially the temple Buddha head has more money, the people have no livelihood, can sell themselves into the temple, become the temple's Goulan prostitutes.

The people of the time even said: "The so-called fence builder is excellent and happy, and the viewer spends money with it...... The prostitutes who teach dance in the world are billions of dollars. ”

Most of the people in the capital like to watch music, so they don't despise the prostitutes.

Zhao Liangha scolded angrily when he heard this: "Do you know very well, this liquor is precious, and it can be used as medicine, if it weren't for this little brother who shot a biao, our number of arrests this year has been full, and I am reluctant to take out the wine!" ”

If a tiger gives birth to three sons, there must be a biao!

The big insect that Chen Sijiu shot down was brave and fierce, and it was huge, and it must be the Tiger King of hundreds of miles around, called Biao.

In his words, he had already regarded the big insect shot by Chen Sijiu as their hunt for this year, and he didn't reassure Chen Sijiu whether he was willing to give them the tiger, although Chen Sijiu was a little unhappy in his heart, after all, this tiger skin was worth ten taels of gold, so he gave it away, and he asked himself if he could talk and laugh freely.

But Chen Sijiu didn't say anything, after all, if it weren't for Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi to rest in this stone house, they saved themselves by mistake, and they wouldn't have lost their lives.

"It's easy to say, this tiger skin will belong to my brother, but I, Chen Sijiu, am a hungry ghost reincarnated, don't rob me with the two of you tiger whip later, hahahaha!"

Chen Sijiu took the wine gourd in Zhao Liangha's hand and shook it.

Reaching out and unscrewing the wine gourd, a strong smell of wine came to his face.

Liquor has a wide range of uses, if you are injured in the wild, such as being bitten by a wild beast, or being caught by a beast, it can be used as a gold sore medicine.

"This wine is good, two old brothers, now, are there many people in Dayuan who can afford to drink?"

Chen Sijiu suddenly asked.

Northern local spirits, since the time of the Great Jin Kingdom, Taoist priest Xiao Baozhen will brew the immortal recipe of Qiongye Xianlu to the emperor, it has been decades now, and liquor has long been rare.

But during the period of the Dajin Kingdom, the emperor could not afford to drink this liquor.

Emperor Wanyan Aguta of the Dajin Kingdom once said that the money in the treasury is not allowed to be spent indiscriminately, and the emperor is not allowed to do so, but because the liquor is rare and too expensive, the emperor Wanyan Mian couldn't help but secretly use the money from the treasury to buy liquor, and was beaten with 20 big boards.

Zhao Liangha's family has been arrested for generations, counting up to 70 years, and his ancestors were once dignitaries in the Dajin Kingdom.

Therefore, this wine is not uncommon to him, and it is also a means he uses to envelop his subordinates to hunt hunters, Liaodong is bitter cold, and it is easy to get old and cold legs on the mountain, if there is no old bear skin for more than three years to wrap in a leather jacket, you have to wrap the knee pads with yellow dog or black dog skin, otherwise you will have crooked hands and feet, swelling and pus, and finally die of crooked mouth and oblique wind.

Liquor can be used as a gold sore medicine and can cure cold sores, although it is more expensive, the catchers are willing to buy it.

After all, in a cold place, a sip of spirits can warm up for an hour.

"Little brother, why do you ask that?"

Zhao Liangha wondered.

Chen Sijiu smiled and touched his head: "This, it's a long story." ”

"We are orphans taken in by my three masters, growing up in the mountains, and we are not familiar with the outside world, what about our three masters, more than 50 years ago, that is, the Emperor Kublai Khan of the Great Yuan was still there, because of the disaster of war, he went to sea to visit Penglai Yingzhou, Xianshan, and was guided by the fairy wind and fell into Yingzhou."

"Before they went to Yingzhou Immortal Mountain, this burning knife and liquor was still rare."

Chen Sijiu explained.

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi didn't believe it, and only thought that Chen Sijiu was bragging.

"We grew up in the mountains since we were children, and I heard the three masters say that this burning knife liquor was only added after Xiao Baozhen, a Taoist priest of the Dajin Kingdom, gave the brewing method to the Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, but the big wine shops are mostly temples or Taoist landlords, and the price of wine is very expensive, and now ordinary people can afford to drink it?"

Chen Sijiu's words sounded unintentional, but in fact he was a little cautious.

Zhao Liangha didn't care, and said, "Little brother, you don't understand this." ”

"This burning knife liquor is divided into several pots, the first pot is turbid and not bright, the second pot is clear and strong, and the third pot is some light wine with dregs, which is similar to the rice wine in the south."

"If it is the first pot or three pots, Jiangmi rice wine, and the wine transported from Chagatai, the people of most of the capital can smack their mouths after a while."

Chen Sijiu sighed, and said in his heart that this technique of brewing liquor was originally created by my Taoist master, how could I not know.

However, he nodded with interest and said with a smile: "This is not bad, it shows that the people of Dayuan can still eat well." ”

"Eaten?"

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi shook their heads at the same time, their faces embarrassed.

Zhao Liangha said bitterly: "Little brother Chen Sijiu, you are wrong, it is those monks and lamas who can eat well, as well as the Mongolian big root foot (origin) of Dayuan, ordinary people, if they can be full, that is the blessing of the Bodhisattva." ”

"The people of most of our capital can sip a few sips of wine to drink, because the princes and nobles of Mongolia like to drink wine, and the Han merchants in the south like to transport wine to sell."

"The wine is not easy to store, and the restaurant has to dump it regularly, otherwise the wine will be rancid."

"Otherwise, if I wait for Xiaomin, how can I have a chance to drink?"

Chen Sijiu suddenly realized.

So that's it......

He beckoned the two old brothers to help together, first peeled the tiger skin, straightened the internal organs, and piggybacked to listen to some information about Dayuan today.

This is also the most important task for him to go out of the mountain this time.

I don't know how my old Song people are now......

Back then, what about the three masters and ancestors of the Han army who were exiled in Yingzhou, and the civil officials who surrendered to the courtiers......

Zhao Liangha and Liu Shishi talked while helping to work.

Today's Dadu can be regarded as a large Mongolian tribe.

The hierarchy is clear, the rich are extremely rich, the poor have no place to stand, and most of them sell themselves to princes and nobles, and famous merchants and big men are driving (slaves).

To Chen Sijiu's surprise, even many Mongolians are not as good as dogs.

After a little thought, it makes sense.

As described by the three masters.

During the period of the Dajin Kingdom, Mongolia was originally a nomadic slave tribe in the north.

Dajin was invaded by the Mongols, and finally destroyed the country, and it has only been seventy or eighty years now, and the habits of the Mongol slaves are inevitable.

Many Mongolians who were slaves in the Mongolian steppe still worked as slaves for Mongolian princes and nobles for generations when they arrived in Dadu......

Maybe it is in response to the five virtues always said.

Raising the head three feet, there is really a clear reason, the Great Yuan is now less than a hundred years after the founding of the People's Republic of China, and thousands of large and small floods have occurred, and the major floods alone have been recorded by the imperial court nearly 2,000 times.

This is because Dayuan is Jinde, and Jin gives birth to water.

The flood was followed by a drought.

The drought was followed by locust plagues and pestilences......

Take the Central Plains region as an example, since the death of Kublai Khan to about 40 years now, floods, droughts, locust plagues, plagues and plagues have come every year, every year, how can the common people survive? In addition, the Mongolian households enclosed land everywhere, drove the Han people away, and used the fertile land to grow alfalfa, soybeans, grass to feed horses, cattle, and sheep.

There is not enough food to eat.

Liu Shishi seemed to think of something, and shuddered: "It's okay for us to hunt households, we fight wild beasts in the mountains and forests, and we won't open for three or five days, and we can have a big meal when we open." ”

"The people of the Central Plains are really miserable......"

"Once we went to the Central Plains to hunt white foxes, that place ......"

Liu Shishi swallowed his saliva.

"How?" Chen Sijiu hurriedly asked, hearing that the people of the Han family in the Central Plains had suffered a disaster, his face looked very anxious.

This time out of the mountain, the second master has a lot of explanations, asking him to go to the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty to see how the people of my Han family are, if you can find the skull of Song Lizong that was made into a tantric wine set by the monk, the idea is to break the monk's overwhelming evil art, and return my Han family's luck!

Liu Shishi gritted his teeth, his eyes flashed: "Since ancient times, the white foxes have been many tombs and mounds, then I will follow dozens of brothers to Luoyang, Henan Province to hunt white foxes, starvation all over the wilderness along the way, the fields have been planted by the Mongolians, the common people eat wild vegetables, eat leaves, eat leaves, eat bark, and eat Guanyin soil......"

"It's okay on the mountain, I can scrape the pine needles and pine bark and cook it to eat, the plains, it's really miserable, we are all hunters who are used to fighting wild beasts, it is said that we are hard-hearted, but seeing the refugees in the Central Plains, I really think that the Emperor Dayuan is a fucking bastard!"

"I heard my father say that when the Dajin Kingdom, although the Central Plains also suffered disasters, there has never been such a thing as starvation all over the wilderness, eating by changing children, choosing people and devouring, I have only heard it in Qu'er before, and in the Central Plains under the rule of Dayuan, we have really seen it......"
