Yang Chuan's post clearly wrote that he invited all the nobles to come to the humble house for dinner, and named him to shabu mutton.

But when the big dog families came to Yangchuan's Zhuangzi, they were told that there was only one dish at today's banquet: garlic elbow flowers.

Garlic paste was a novelty in the Han Empire, because the number of seeds that Zhang Qian brought back from the Western Regions was limited, only the royal family sowed dozens of acres in the Shanglin Yuan area, and in addition, Zhang Qian, the Marquis of Bowang, bought hundreds of acres of land outside Chang'an City, of which one or twenty acres were planted.

If you count more than 1,000 acres of Shuofang County, he almost occupies ninety percent of the 'market share' of garlic in the Han Empire, and this area is still expanding.

The reason why Yang Chuan spares no effort to grow garlic is that preparing enough accessories and seasonings for his 'Dahan menu' is only one aspect, and more importantly, he still wants to get the 'allicin' out faster, which can be regarded as preparing for most of his life in the future.

After all, in this world, once there are three diseases and two disasters, it is definitely not a good thing, maybe an ordinary flu can cause the population to drop by tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands......

"Everyone, please."

Yang Chuan looked a little pale, and coughed once or twice from time to time, but he still had to deliberately hide his 'sickness', which made it even more obvious that he was 'seriously ill'.

"Originally, Ben Hou wanted to invite you to eat a shabu mutton on the shore of Weishui, but some people said that you have eaten a whole winter of shabu mutton and should have been tired of eating it, so Ben Hou temporarily changed his mind and invited you to eat a new dish."

"Garlic elbow flowers."

Yang Chuan sat on the main seat, and after saying a few words, he was about to stop and cough a few times, looking sick and in a very bad condition.

Gongsun Hong sat in the lower right position, arched his hand expressionlessly, and said: "Changning Hou is polite, your Yang family eats unparalleled food in the world, even a few cold wild vegetables are also the best, not to mention that this garlic elbow flower looks very fragrant." ”

Yang Chuan arched his hand and thanked: "Prime Minister Gongsun released his suspicions, and being able to come to my house for dinner made Ben Hou feel a little surprised, after all, in the past court, Ben Hou lost his heart for a while, talked nonsense, and offended Prime Minister Gongsun a lot."

Prime Minister, Ben Hou will make amends for you. ”

Gongsun Hong smiled indifferently, grabbed a pair of chopsticks, picked up a piece of garlic elbow and asked with a smile: "Changning Hou, every food in your family has a very different saying, such as the sour soup dumplings, there is a saying that the years intersect and miss peace, and it is popular all over the world for a while.

Ask Chang Ninghou, what is the importance of today's garlic elbow flower? ”

Yang Chuan stretched out a thumbs up, first gave Gongsun Hong a handmade praise, and said with a smile: "The prime minister is worthy of being the prime minister, the head of a hundred officials, and his mind and insight are extraordinary, so he asked the point at once." ”

He picked up a bowl of wine: "Come, come, everyone, drink first." ”

"This common saying is good, no wine is not a feast, no song is not a feast, most of the servants in the Benhou family are cooks and peasant women, they are very stupid, they can neither sing nor dance, but the Ganges water they brew is extremely mellow and tastes good."

"Come on, let's do this bowl first!"

Yang Chuan picked up the wine bowl and did it first as a respect, but he couldn't help but let out a heart-rending cough, which made his handsome face flush, and then turned pale, but he still smiled heartily in his mouth: "Everyone, come on, come on, do another bowl!" ”

In such a situation, Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo on the side of the attendants, as well as Zhang Anshi, Huo Guang, Yang Yi and other people couldn't stand it.

They obviously knew that Yang Chuan was pretending to be sick, but the performance was too realistic, which made these people couldn't help but worry, and persuaded in unison: "Changning Hou, you can't drink anymore." ”

Yang Chuan took out a solid-colored silk scarf from his sleeve, slowly wiped off the wine on the corners of his mouth and placket, and said with a smile: "Doesn't Pingyang Hou Cao Xiang have a poem, what do you say about the five-flowered horse and the golden Qiu, Hu'er will exchange for fine wine, good poetry, good poetry." ”

As he spoke, he poured himself a big bowl of wine, picked it up, raised it to the center of his eyebrows, and said with a warm smile: "Before, Ben Hou was young and frivolous, whether it was in private or in the court, he would shout and kill with all the adults at every turn, but now that I think about it, it's so boring." ”

"I prepared a thin wine today, this time, I want to apologize to you, and sincerely say sorry to the young man before me; I want to talk to you about a deal......"

Everyone in the audience laughed.

Look, this Marquis of Changning is really not a good stubble, he is sick like this, but he still doesn't forget to talk to everyone about business and business, and it is really worthy of the emperor's exceptional promotion of the young farmer Ling, this greedy face is exactly the same as the Sang Hong sheep back then?

Seeing the big dogs talking to each other, whispering, and looking at him with a very strange gaze, Yang Chuan laughed in his heart.

This man really doesn't have a long memory.

How many people in the seat have brought gold, jade, and colored little women to look for him, a great peasant order, in order to 'take care of the project', just to make a little money, it can be said that 'Corporal Lixian' is extremely good.

In the blink of an eye, a different set was changed, as if it was a different person, it was simply ......

That's great!

"Changning Hou, the last few times you talked about business with everyone, you took a lot of money and food, how much do you want to take away today?"

Gongsun Hong rarely saw a smile in the corner of his eyes, just like a kind elder, and asked in a very gentle and mocking tone: "By the way, if you start too hard, the old man can't bear your pit repeatedly." ”

The crowd laughed.

The atmosphere was very harmonious.

Yang Chuan also laughed loudly, pointing at Gongsun Hong's nose and scolding: "Prime Minister Gongsun, you bad old man is very bad, I believe you are a ghost!" ”

Everyone laughed again, but this time it was still a little restrained, after all, Yang Chuan spoke so rudely because he was a marquis of the Han Dynasty, and in terms of title alone, he was much more noble than Gongsun Hong.

When everyone's laughter gradually stopped, and the atmosphere of the scene became harmonious and harmonious again, Yang Chuan restrained his smile and said: "This business, Benhou promises to only let you take advantage of it, and you will definitely not suffer." ”

Gongsun Hong and the others shook their heads slightly, looking at Yang Chuan with a smile.

The implication is obvious, when did you not say that when doing business? But every time everyone thought they had taken advantage at first, and after a while, they found that they had suffered a lot of losses.

In the long run, who will dare to do business with you?

Yang Chuan watched everyone laugh, not embarrassed at all, but picked up the wine bowl and invited everyone to drink this wine again, but he never mentioned business again.

So, after three rounds of wine and food...... Well, the dish at today's banquet is just like garlic elbow flowers.

Someone grabbed his chopsticks and began to taste the only dish in front of him.

Hiss!

Good times!

What a time!

Since some people took the lead in tasting the dishes, others naturally did not fall behind, and for a while, chopsticks rained down, and plates of garlic elbow flowers were quickly swept away by this group of gluttonous beasts, leaving only porcelain plates with extremely exquisite workmanship.

Some people even managed to eat the minced meat and garlic at the bottom of the plate.

Yang's cuisine really lives up to its reputation.

Just this simple cold dish made the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu eat the illusion of a wine banquet, and they were full of praise one by one, but they just wanted a plate......

Yang Chuan obviously knew what everyone meant, but he pretended not to know, and casually sandwiched a piece of garlic elbow flower with tendons, chewed it gently, and then smacked the Ganges River water, which is called an authentic!

Finally, someone couldn't help but ask: "Changning Hou, is this the only dish for today's banquet?" ”

Yang Chuan nodded slightly, and said with a smile: "Yes, people say that Zhong Ding's family, brocade clothes and jade food can be regarded as wealthy, originally, Ben Hou thinks the same, therefore, the three meals a day are extremely luxurious, and I can't wait to drive a group of lambs into my own five internal organs temple to enjoy it."

But.

After an illness last winter, Ben Hou suddenly figured out one thing.

This person is too clean, just like the old saying, when the water is clear, there are no fish, so with a person who is as clean as a dog licked, Ben Hou really doesn't dare to associate with him, let alone become a friend.

At the same time, this person must not be too greedy.

Because, when your mind is completely occupied by greed, your mind is completely focused on the things that tempt you, such as wine, women, power, and so on.

These things are definitely good things, but you can't always have them all in your head, right?

You readers often say a few words, one of which Ben Hou thinks is very interesting, very chewy, just like today's garlic elbow flower, listening to the muscles and brains, Gari pimples, but it is very reasonable.

What words? ”

Yang Chuan took a sip of wine and recited: "Color-eating is also." ”

The crowd chuckled.

Why, I was forced to talk for a while, and I thought that this Changning Hou could say an earth-shattering 'wise saying' of ghosts and gods, but unexpectedly, in the end, it was a sentence that everyone knew'.

Simply that!

Yang Chuan watched coldly, and continued without changing his face: "Don't underestimate this sentence, your Confucius and Sage have said that he has never seen a person who is studious and lustful;

Ben Hou added today, I have never seen a ...... who cherishes his life more than his money."

This was said thoughtlessly, and it was confusing for a while, and naturally it was not clear what Yang Chuan wanted to say.

Gongsun Hong finally couldn't help but ask: "What is the matter with the guests of Changninghou's banquet today?" ”

Yang Chuan arched his hand and said, "Prime Minister Gongsun, please come over today, in fact, there is only one thing, that is, to fulfill the original promise to you." ”

Everyone was stunned for a while, and they all looked at Yang Chuan.

Even Gongsun Hong was a little confused, so he simply asked straightforwardly: "What promise did you keep?" ”

Yang Chuan waved his hand and gave an order to Zhang Tang, Sima Qian, and Dongfang Shuo beside him: "Go, move all the account books and give everyone dividends." ”

The three of them made a promise, and quickly moved several large boxes of 'account books', but it was the 'Shuofang County Land Development Contract' signed by him and all the big dogs at the banquet of Yang Chuan's family.

Everyone was stunned.

At the beginning, everyone thought that Yang Chuan had dug a pit for everyone, just to use the emperor's prestige to blackmail the civil and military officials, and make a little money and food so that the emperor could finish the battle of Mobei smoothly.

Unexpectedly.

After more than a year, Yang Chuan brought up the old matter again, but he wanted to give the big guys a 'dividend'?

Regarding the word 'dividend', although everyone heard it for the first time, they instantly understood: Changning Hou is going to share the money with everyone.

Buzz.

Everyone fryed, and almost everyone began to talk to each other, whispering, and pointing at Yang Chuan with their fingers from time to time, with a look of disbelief in their eyes.

Everyone knows that Yang Chuan has been so poor recently, in order to make money for the emperor, not only did he make his reputation very stinky, but even the little money and food in his family was estimated to be a lot pasted into it, but now he said that he wanted to give everyone 'dividends', who would believe it!

But the next scene made everyone stunned again.

I saw Yang Chuan wave his hand, and immediately one or two hundred subordinates and servants stepped forward carrying a heavy pine box, and there was a sound of 'popping', opening the box and revealing the things inside, but it was some yellow and white things.

Yellow, naturally, is Yang Chuan's use of superb smelting technology, with brass, refined iron, silver and other 'precious metals' to cast the 'Han Debt Coin', golden, yellow, bright light, in the sun, can light up the eyes of blind dogs, than the so-called 'gold coins' more than three or five times better!

As for the white ones, they are all mutton fat jade.

The real, polished, finely carved mutton fat jade, not the common mutton fat jade seed material on the market......

And all the eyes were straight.

Including Gongsun Hong, when the old thief's eyes touched those white, crystal clear, and warm as jade sheep fat jade carvings, there were wisps of scarlet flames burning under his eyes.

Sure enough, it is the wealth that touches people's hearts.

Yang Chuan sighed secretly, his expression on his face did not change in the slightest, and he still said with a smile: "At the beginning, in order to raise food and salary for the Northern Expeditionary Army, Ben Hou leased millions of acres of wasteland in Shuofang County to you, thinking that he wanted to make a fortune with everyone.

Although the last year's Shuofang County was uneasy and fought with the Huns, destroying Benhou's agricultural plan and delaying the crops on your fields, on the whole, there was still a slight surplus.

Zhang Tang, the land, money and grain over there in Shuofang County are all under your control, so you can tell you about the situation. ”

Zhang Tang tidied up his clothes, took a big step forward, glanced at the dignitaries present with an expressionless face, and said coldly: "One acre of land, two hundred and fifty catties of surplus grain and vegetables, converted into two hundred and fifty five baht coins." ”

Then, the goods were withdrawn.

There's no way, Zhang Tang has been on an errand in the Tingwei Mansion for decades, and he has long been accustomed to a cold way of speaking, and there is no expression on his face with a knife, let alone any emotional fluctuations, so he has an inexplicable authority......

"Two hundred and fifty pounds of surplus money and vegetables for one acre of land?"

"Two hundred and fifty five-baht coins?"

"That's not true, is it?"

“……”

For a while, everyone was stunned.

Even Gongsun Hong looked incredulous, frowning and looking at Yang Chuan: "Marquis Changning, even if it is the high-grade fertile land in Guanzhong, the yield of one mu of land is only more than three hundred catties, if you plant millet and good grain rice, you may not even have one hundred and twenty catties, and you have a surplus of two hundred and fifty catties......

Yang Chuan smiled: "What's the matter, what's the matter with you old thieves?" ”

"At that time, I asked you to take out a little money and grain, and one by one the dead eyebrows glared like a dead wife, and now the millions of acres of fertile land in our Shuofang County have been harvested, and we are going to share the money with everyone, you don't believe Ben Hou's words?"

"That's it."

"How about this sum of money and grain, simply hand it over to the big farmer's order, and let Ben Hou spend it well?"
