Section 292 Liangzhou
In modern times, if a certain place is very desolate, there is no grass growing on it and there is no one around it, either it is the Gobi desert or a place with rich minerals.
But that is all modern, and in the past.
Liangzhou is a good place and belongs to Longyou Road.
Longyou Road is a very strange place. Because it is very desolate, it is very important because it connects to the Western Regions. However, there were a large number of Hu people here before, so even it was a good economic area, it was even called two major economic centers.
Liangzhou has been a rich place with "popular people and thick mulberry trees" since ancient times. Carriages and horses intersect and singing and playing the sun. In ancient times, it was known as the important place for the northwest commercial port that was connected to the vast desert and controlled the throats of the five counties.
This sentence made Ye Tan fascinated for a long time because some people have a very developed business here, a large population here, and nominally belongs to the Tang Dynasty. However, when he brought people here a month later, he found that he was thinking too much. Sure enough, the ancients' Spring and Autumn styles were too powerful. They could make up all kinds of things for you well. Of course, there is also a certain reason for this because in recent years, or since the end of the Sui Dynasty, there were uneasiness everywhere.
He rode a horse and stood outside Liangzhou City. Looking at this powerful place, he found that the city wall was dilapidated and the population seemed not large. Not only was it not many, but it was a little small. There were smelly people outside the door, and there were no hope on these people's faces.
This city belongs to the Tang Dynasty in name, but there are very few Han people in it, most of them are stink people. These people seem to have been used to it. After all, in history, in the Song Dynasty, this place was the so-called Xixia accompanying capital, and it was very powerful.
However, there is a word in this world called "This land looks like you, but it is not, because you have no way to control it, and you can only use a method similar to a saddle. Therefore, there are too many Hu people here, and many people look at people with bad eyes.
After paying ten cents of tax on entering the city, Ye Tan brought a group of people into Liangzhou City.
This place in later generations was already a relatively large place, but unfortunately, the economy later changed to the beach, so it gradually declined. The current governor of Liangzhou is not a Han person, but a Hu person. The name is Karma Lu, but it doesn’t sound like the name of a serious person.
Liangzhou City is very big, but the thick sheep manure on the ground makes people feel uncomfortable. Ye Biao has always been by Ye Tan's side, just because he is worried that someone will do something to him. Whether it is a big city or a small city, whether it is a prosperous or a lonely city, there are many things like thieves.
Ye Tan took a group of people to walk slowly on the road. From this street to that street, there were not many things on the street, but there were quite a few people, and there were many food shops. If you had to add a name to this place, it would be just one word, which would be full of barbarism.
Just as the few people were about to go to a restaurant that looked at the most luxurious, a man with dark hair directly hit Ye Tan. Originally, the distance between the two was still a bit, but when the man hit Ye Tan, he fell to the ground and pointed at the other party and shouted, "You dare to hit me?"
Ye Tan looked at the black mark on his white clothes. He liked cleanliness very much and hated such dirty things the most. Moreover, the other party was still like this, so he couldn't help but look at him and said, "What do you mean?"
The man stood up from the ground, as if he was really injured. He also wiped his clothes with his hands. I don’t know if it was sheepskin or cowhide. Anyway, the color was no longer visible. He looked at Ye Tan and said, “You bumped into me and left without saying a few words. It’s really a bold act.”
Ye Tan usually has no interest in such a madman, so he turns around and leaves, but he doesn't expect that the other party doesn't stop him at all. Instead, he laughs, "I see where you can run to."
After saying this, he walked in swagger. Although this person was too dirty, the waiter didn't dare to stop him. He kept saying, "God Buddha, you are here."
I found a place with few people to sit down. A man with a strong face came over and looked at the people and said, "What do you want to eat?"
This temper is not even a waiter in Songzhou, but it seems like a master here. Seeing his greasy body, Ye Tan really has no appetite. This place has been educated for so many years, so why has it been cultivated?
Ye Tan did not say anything. Yuan Jiu, who was following him, threw the long knife in his hand on the table with a scabbard, and said coldly, "If you have anything delicious, just serve it."
As a result, the waiter became even more arrogant. He snorted, turned around and left, not watching the knife that Yuan Jiu threw on the table. Nonsense, here is a place where robbery and robbery can happen at any time. If you don’t bring a knife, you are so embarrassed to go out. Will you be guaranteed when you go out?
I will tell you very clearly that there is no guarantee at all, so Yuan Jiu's strategy will only fool those ignorant countrymen, and we will definitely not fool our great Liangzhou people.
"Is it true?" Ye Tan teased Yuan Jiu with a smile, and he carefully put away the knife. It was embarrassing. How could I forget where this place is? It is more sinister than Songzhou, because after Ye Tan's governance, it has improved a lot, but here, that Karma Lu is not a good thing. I hope such a person will give you some face. What do you think?
Although he has a bad temper, he comes up very quickly. He is just something he brought. Ye Tan said he has no appetite.
One should be the original version of Liangzhou Yousazi. He remembers that the thing from later generations tasted good and looked very good, but what was the thing in front of him? Did Indians learn it from here? Some people say that people from island countries can make shit into works of art, while Indians are just the opposite. Is this too much?
However, there is a good fruit. This should be the ginseng fruit. The above looks a bit like a human. People here think this thing is transformed by an elf, so it feels wrong to see it. Yuan Jiu was so scared that he could eat this thing?
There are also some big cakes and lamb legs. Although they look a little disgusting, they taste good and have a very fragrant smell.
Ye Tan picked up the chopsticks and ate a few bites of mutton, but there was no smell of mutton. It seemed that the people here were still honest, not so arrogant, and did not cut corners, and the others also started eating.
It's noon now, and there are many people in the store. Unfortunately, they are all vulgar people, and they speak loudly. They seem to not speak like this and do not show their own abilities. However, this is similar to some behaviors in later generations. It seems to be careless, but it is very annoying because there are others.
Ye Tan and others didn't eat fast, but after eating, nothing happened.
When Yuan Jiu stood up to check out, a problem occurred. He didn't want money, but wanted something else.
"What do you want?" Yuan Jiu asked at the bearded shopkeeper. This was the first time I heard that eating was not expensive. Could it be that the people here are barter?
The shopkeeper said in a strange accent, "Money is not easy to use here, no one wants to use it, and you Central Plains are all bad. Many times they will use worn-out copper coins with little copper components to deceive us. So, there is no money here, you can use sheepskin, salt, cloth, and food."
