Chapter 110 The extravagant wine of the Duke of Chu...

"I don't know how much money it costs to build such a mansion." I shook my head and was speechless. Although I admired such a scenery, the problem is that if I want to spend more money to build such a mansion, I will not be able to build such a mansion unless I am insane and have a landslide.

Now I live in such a courtyard. Although it is large and open, I really don’t like this layout. I prefer the villas of later generations. The family can live in the same house. Then I have a small view. There are gardens and grasslands in front and behind the villa. It is better to be bigger and can run around.

As for looking at the flowing water of the small bridge, I can just go to a place with such a scenery. I live in the flowing water of the small bridge every day, even a literary young man like me can't stand it.

It seems that this is one of the differences between me, a time traveler from the future and people of this era. In terms of aesthetics, we have the same view, but there are still certain differences in living environment.

"It is said that the money spent by the Duke of Chu State is less than two or three million." The uncle took a deep breath and sighed.

After hearing this, I was very sad. Yes, the property I had now added is less than a thousand guan. In the Sui Dynasty, two hundred guans could be obtained to get a small yard, and the money of one guan could be bought for 16 or 7 shi of rice. In other words, the money of this era was equivalent to the value of 4,000 yuan of RMB in the 21st century.

Millions of guan, wouldn’t that be... Well, I quickly got the answer. One million guan is equivalent to four billion guan, and then three million is equivalent to one hundred and twenty billion guan. With so much money, I only used it to build a mansion. When I got this value, I suddenly felt very powerless.

So much money is just to build a luxurious mansion, and it will be destroyed in the dust of history in a short time. If this money is used to develop science and technology, I am sure that at least China's science and technology cannot lead the entire world for a thousand years, it will lead the entire world for five hundred years.

Not to mention anything else, just say that the gunpowder used to make fireworks has begun to be used. If this thing can be studied and produced in depth, and muskets and cannons, who in the world dares to be in a state of China? He can't kill him, no matter whether you are the Huns or Turks, Khitan or Jin, or Mongolian or Manchu.

Don’t say that you come in batches, even if you rush in one piece, you will still be killed by the firearms troops.

You should know that gunpowder began to become military materials and disappeared from military use. This process was used in military affairs since the end of the Tang Dynasty. In the first year of Tianyou of Emperor Zhaozong of Tang, in 904 AD, Yang Xingmi's army besieged Yuzhang. General Zheng Yi's troops launched a plane to fly fire, burn the dragon monk, and led the heroes to enter the city after a sudden fire. The flying fire here is the prototype of artillery, arrows, etc. From this time to the gradual replacement of black gunpowder with chemical gunpowder at the end of the 19th century, it lasted for nearly a thousand years.

And when the firearms matured, the cavalry began to gradually withdraw from people's sight. The cavalry's maneuver power and impact power relying on had become very powerless in the face of powerful firearms.

When I thought that I had traveled to the Sui Dynasty, and the subsequent three dynasties of the Tang, Song and Ming Dynasty would have been invaded again and again by nomadic peoples, I was so angry that I really couldn't raise my energy to appreciate this beautiful scenery.

"Brother Shilian, you have been in the middle of Xuangan Hou." After walking for a long time, you suddenly heard a very intimate call. When you looked up, you saw that at about thirty steps ahead, a middle-aged man with three feet of beard and a very tall man standing on the steps, raising his hands towards us with a smile.

Well, this guy looks pretty good, and he feels like Guan Erge of the Three Kingdoms. His face is not that red and his eyes are not always squinting. However, if this guy is cleaned up by the makeup artist, he will definitely be Guan Erge's special actor.

"Haha, I'm late, please forgive me. Wuji, have you seen Duke Chu?" My uncle laughed and quickly stepped forward, saluted Yang Xuangan, waved to me and signaled.

Before I bowed, I felt my hands were being held. When I looked up, I saw the tall and burly Yang Xuangan holding my bowed arm. I turned to my uncle and said angrily: "What do you mean by Brother Shilian? You and I are the best friends. Since Wuji is your nephew, he is naturally Yang's junior. If you don't call me uncle, then you two will not have to enter my mansion."

Hearing this half-joking threat, my uncle couldn't help but laugh out loud, nodded slightly at me, and I respectfully bowed to Yang Xuangan: "Wuji has seen my uncle."

"Well, okay, get up quickly, I am worthy of being Changsun Sheng's child. Not only is he good at talent, but his literary talent, but he is also brave." Seeing my face inexplicable, Yang Xuangan stroked his beard and smiled and patted my shoulder and said, "Yes yesterday, my brother went into the forest alone to hunt tigers. I already know the reputation of the tiger's eyes in the arrow."

After hearing this, I couldn't help but sweat all over the Lushan Waterfall. It seems that although the news media in this era are not developed, there are too many gossips. Yesterday, my name as a tiger hunting hero has been heard by the ears of great officials like Yang Xuangan. It is really amazing.

After a greeting at the door, I entered the flower hall and saw more than a dozen maids standing on both sides of the hall. There were three table tables in each table table, and there were twelve plates of dishes and soup on them. Directly opposite the main seat, you could see several maids holding musical instruments and kneeling quietly. Seeing this luxurious banquet scene, I couldn't help but be shocked. Even if I had a meal in a five-star hotel in later generations, it was not so awesome.

"Come on, today I heard that my brother and nephew have come together. I have already drunk a little bit of wine, so don't dislike it." After Yang Xuangan sat down, he signaled us to sit down, and said modestly.

The uncle laughed, picked up the wine cup on the desk and said to Yang Xuangan: "Brother, don't say this. If you really think so, then I will never dare to invite you to the humble house again."

Well, my uncle is very funny, and although Yang Xuangan is a little bit illusory, it can be seen that he is a very talkative person and likes to make friends. When you get along with him, you won’t think that he will bully you with power. Or, I’m talking about this, a man who keeps talking about this, no wonder he can have thousands of diners, and all the people in the world praise him for his generosity.

Well, at this time, with Yang Xuangan's sign, the musicians began to play music. In ancient times, enjoying singing and dancing while eating was not just a habit, but also a custom. I remember that when I was wandering around the Internet, I read a record of the Tang Dynasty. There are regulations on how many musicians can play there when the princes and princes can play at each meal.

This shows the importance of music in ancient times. Even Kong Laoer had to play Six Arts, and the second place was music.
