Chapter 35 Chang'an City
Two days later, Zhang Qian sent more than 20 servants to pick up his Hun wife and son and send them to Chang'an City.
At the same time, he also brought Yang Chuan a few bamboo slips, which were concise and affectionate, saying that he was asking him to wait patiently for a period of time, and that he was 'operating' the household registration matter, but he did not mention that Yang Chuan would return to Chang'an City with his wife.
As for the cattle, sheep, horses, and Khotanese jade seeds brought back from the Western Regions before, they naturally did not mention it.
Seeing the word 'operation', Yang Chuan smiled inexplicably.
Like 'Dog Day', it turns out that 'operation' is also the quintessence of the country, and it has become the patent of the powerful to play with power and people's hearts more than 2,000 years ago?
Yang Chuan replied to a letter very seriously, euphemistically saying that he was penniless at the moment, and after returning to Chang'an City, it was estimated that even his livelihood would be a problem.
Therefore, he wants to open a restaurant in Cloudsdale City to earn a little money while waiting for the good news of the 'Captain' and looking forward to the autumn water.
After writing the reply, Yang Chuan was relaxed, and naturally began to worry about his livelihood.
The family of the captain was taken away, and he and his cousin's father naturally couldn't live in the house.
For the sake of the face of the military marquis, the position of the husband did not pick up people on the spot, but euphemistically said that if Yang Chuan was willing to stay in the restaurant as a cook, he could ask his boss Yamen to give him a cheap status.
This slap his chest and swore that as long as Yang Chuan was willing, he could also come forward to help sell the Huns such as Tangyi's father for a good price.
Yang Chuan politely rejected the kindness of the husband.
This middle-aged man is a good man, but he has a great grudge against the Huns, and he is eager to sell all those hateful steppe people into slavery and rob them of their cattle, sheep, horses, women and children.
In the Biansai area of the Han Empire, this idea was very popular.
Because almost every Han family has been looted and slaughtered by the Huns, this hatred has long been deeply rooted in the bone marrow and has become part of the blood of the residents of Biansai.
Of course, the Huns north of the Great Wall probably thought the same......
……
"Yang Chuan, do you want to open a restaurant for the Huns?"
After careful consideration, Yang Chuan directly found Sima Qian, and said his intentions and thoughts, hoping to get Sima Qian's care, as expected, Sima Qian really jumped to his feet and scolded:
"You kid, your household registration hasn't been solved yet, but you have thought about the livelihood of the Huns first?"
Yang Chuan shook his head and said, "The Huns have good people and bad people, just like the Han people have good people and evil people, the reason why the kid let them run a restaurant in Cloud City is mainly for the two of us." ”
Sima Qian didn't react for a while, and asked casually: "For me, the two?" ”
Yang Chuan nodded, and said with a straight face: "Lord Junhou, is the oily meat noodles delicious?" ”
Sima Qian: "It's beautiful! ”
"That's not it," Yang Chuan said with a smile, "Lord Junhou is a scholar, and the kid is a stateless savage, so it's not easy to come forward to run a restaurant, if I join the army to be the head of the army, it will be difficult for Lord Junhou to eat oily meat noodles......"
When Sima Qian heard this, he shook his head again and again: "No, our army is fighting to the death with the Huns outside the Great Wall, but there are Huns in Yunzhong City who open a restaurant, don't say that if the soldiers in front don't agree, even the people in the city will be angry, aren't you afraid that the restaurant will be burned by someone?" ”
Yang Chuan arched his hand and said, "Lord Junhou, this is not true. ”
Sima Qian kept a straight face, anyway, he just didn't follow.
"Actually, anything can be divided into two sides, yin and yang," Yang Chuan was indomitable and began to 'be kind and seducing', "The military marquis may wish to think about it, the army in front and the Huns fought to the death, and the soldiers naturally regarded the Huns as the enemy of life and death;
So, what about the women and children of the Huns?
You can't let the army kill them all, can you? Instead of letting them stay in the grassland desert and continue to raise generations of cavalry and warriors for the Huns, why can't we change our thinking and let them stay on the territory of our Han Empire and give birth to generations of cavalry and warriors for us?
Letting the Hun women and children do a little business and support their families is simply a salary draw from the bottom of the kettle for the Huns.
However, for our Han Empire, not only can we increase a large number of people, but also enjoy the service of the Huns anytime and anywhere, and when they are completely integrated into our Han Empire and enjoy the stability and wealth of the Han Dynasty, who remembers that there was once a Hun in this world? ”
Yang Chuan finished his words in one breath and stopped talking.
In my previous life, when I was a cook, I had a wise saying: Take a dish according to people.
What does that mean? It's just this person, in fact, there are weaknesses and weaknesses, as long as you grasp his weaknesses to deal with them, whoever comes will serve whatever food, and there is generally nothing wrong......
Sima Qian was really moved.
However, the stakes are big, and he can't be a small military marquis.
"The matter...... It must also be reported to the imperial court," Sima Qian said with a deep groan, "Boy Yang Chuan, it doesn't hurt to say this kind of thing in front of a certain family, but don't talk nonsense in front of others." ”
Yang Chuan arched his hand and said, "The kid wrote it down." ”
Sima Qian's eyes flashed, as if he still had something to say, but he finally didn't say it, just said lightly: "Your kid's thoughts, a certain family knows it, isn't it just to find a way to live for those Hun women and children?"
A certain family promised you to send them over later.
There is just a shortage of a few handymen who do laundry and cooking in the military marquis's mansion, and a certain family will first give them lowly citizenship, and when your kid is developed, use a bowl of oily meat noodles to replace people. ”
With all that said, what else is there to say?
Yang Chuan bowed deeply and said: "Lord Junhou, today's autumn is high and cool, the grass grows and the sheep are fat, the kid wants to cook the world's first-class roasted whole sheep, can you borrow a few fat sheep?" ”
Sima Qian laughed, pointed at Yang Chuan's nose and scolded: "Yang Chuan thief, a certain family can also be regarded as a scholar, how can he be the kind of man who can withstand temptation!" ”
Yang Chuan bowed deeply again, which can be regarded as a bow.
This living Sima Qian is much more vivid than in the history books, and it is much more shameless.
However, it's also much cuter.
I just don't know, what kind of character is Huo Quzhi? I hope that kid is more interesting than in the history books......
……
roasted whole sheep for five or six days in a row directly made Sima Qian on fire.
It's not the kind of false fire where yin is weak and the gums are inflamed, but the real 'excessive yang energy, red eyes and bitter mouth, and dry stool', which takes a long time every time he goes to the toilet, which makes Yang Chuan very worried.
A generation of great writers, don't let the roasted whole sheep cause any problems, so that the world is missing a huge work, without the rhyme of separation, then his sin as a cook is too great.
No, I still have to convince this guy.
You must know that this young man's greed for appetite and overeating is almost the same as a young man's greed for beauty, day and night, which is a knife that scrapes bones and wields essence like dirt, which is very harmful.
"From tomorrow, I need to eat a few days of lighter meals," On this day, Yang Chuan finally couldn't help but persuade, "In the area of Tianshui and Longxi, there is a kind of people's food, which is extremely delicious, I don't know if Lord Junhou is interested?" ”
Sima Qian shook his head, pointed to the six golden eagles and three snow leopards feasting not far away, and said with a smile: "A certain family is not as good as a few beasts?" ”
Yang Chuan laughed a few times and stopped talking.
In order to enhance his relationship with Sima Qian, and at the same time, in order not to underestimate him, Yang Chuan thought twice, and finally 'introduced' Sister Leopard to Sima Qian.
Originally, thinking that he would show this 'hole card', Sima Qian would definitely be taken aback and look at him differently.
Unexpectedly, after seeing these 'pets', the military marquis did not show any 'shock', but only slightly expressed a feeling of jealousy and envy.
Sima Qian even said that if Yang Chuan could put down his body, put such a knife on his crotch, and enter the palace as a beast taming eunuch, he should have a bright future......
Only then did Yang Chuan know that in Chang'an City, almost all the powerful families had a tradition of raising spiritual pets and war pets, among them, especially Liu Che, who not only raised tigers, brown bears, rhinoceros, elephants, leopards, wild wolves and other fierce beasts, but also liked to fight cocks and walk dogs.
I heard that in the Shanglin Garden, there is also a 'Inutai Palace', where all kinds of dogs are raised all over the world.
As we all know, the people of the old Liu family like to raise dogs, fight dogs, and eat dogs.
I never thought that the emperor named Liu Che also liked the 'dog fighting conference', encouraging civil and military officials and powerful families to participate, whoever has a powerful dog is a loyal minister, and whose sister or sister may be troubled by the emperor.
Isn't that the second division general Li Guangli like that......
……
Chang'an City.
Sima Qian is a wide person, often regardless of his identity, he and Sister Leopard's family and six stupid eagles rush to eat roasted whole sheep, and from time to time there will be some disputes, naturally every time Sister Leopard shows her power and suppresses the audience.
Yang Chuan was very lonely.
From time to time, he looked back at the south, stunned, but could only sigh secretly: 'What's the big deal, isn't it just Chang'an City?' Now there is not even a rotten Big Wild Goose Pagoda ......
