Chapter 1466 Business passed down for thousands of years
If you miss Chang'an, go to Chang'an.
As a political, economic and cultural center, or even a national capital, Chang'an still has considerable advantages. At least at this stage, Chang'an is much better than Pingyang.
The progress of Sichuan and Shu was much faster than Fei Qian expected, so Fei Qian began to transfer the entire political center to Guanzhong. As the first batch of government officials began to operate in Chang'an, Fei Qian naturally needed to go there.
Chang'an took control.
At this time, Fei Qian missed the transportation of later generations. Even if there were no planes, the high-speed train was quite comfortable. If it didn't work, long-distance buses would also work. However, now, Fei Qian's only choice was to ride on horseback.
Still shaking in the carriage, there is no other way.
Huang Yueying did not follow because the child was still young, especially in the Han Dynasty when the health and medical conditions were not good. When a child traveled a long distance, any acclimatization could be fatal, so he could only stay in Pingyang and wait for the child to grow up.
It will take some time before you can consider changing places.
Cai Yan...
Fei Qian couldn't help but smile bitterly.
When a young literary and artistic woman feels that she wants to realize her own life value, her crazy struggle is really impressive. Cai Yan is now basically immersed in the scriptures, and almost all his thoughts are on the bamboo slips and wooden slips.
Even when Fei Qian went to Pingyang Academy to give a lecture, he only met briefly, so naturally he had no intention of following Fei Qian to Guanzhong.
Is this considered a form of cocooning?
Or in Cai Yan's mind, the scriptures are actually the most important?
Maybe……
Fei Qian raised his head and looked in the direction of Pingyang. He was silent for a moment, then turned around and waved his hand, "Let's go!"
…………………………
"You said that General Zhengxi will come to Chang'an in the near future?" Someone whispered in the upstairs lounge of Ping Jue Tower, which immediately caused a burst of discussion.
Ping Jue Lou is a newly opened restaurant in Chang'an. Perhaps due to the different habits of different places, most of the pubs and restaurants in Chang'an use the so-and-so building. The so-called Ping Jue means that you are very good at cooking meat dishes, especially
The fish meat is even more exquisite. When the thin, silky fish meat is spread on the black pottery plate and decorated with flower petals, it is simply an excellent visual and taste enjoyment.
Therefore, Pingjue Tower was not open for long, and was naturally accepted by the people of Chang'an. People often entertained here, and it would even be overcrowded. The first floor is the hall, with walls and walls, suitable for both winter and summer. The second and third floors are made of wooden boards and
The half-brick and half-timber structure built with brick walls was separated by screens, making it a relatively exclusive place, and naturally became a favorite place for many gentry children.
These days, holding a banquet is not an easy task. Not only must there be a hall and place at home where you can visit for the banquet, but you must also have some singers and dancers raised at home to add to the fun. In addition, what dishes must be prepared, and what kind of food must be prepared.
Purchasing items is actually very complicated, so many nobles chose to entertain guests in restaurants in order to welcome them and send them off, as well as to make it easier.
Wine shops in the Spring, Autumn and Han Dynasties were not very private. Although there were screens to block them, they were still semi-open rooms. There were some huge wooden pillars running through the first to third floors. There were two wide passages in the middle.
You can also invite maiko to accompany the dancers. On both sides are wooden platforms slightly higher than the ground. There are mats on the platform and about a dozen low-legged tables. When guests drink here, one person, one table, or two
Three people, or four or five people, adjust the position of the screen according to the number of people, then sit on the seats, push cups and change cups.
You can bring your own maiko, or you can have the hotel invite you before the banquet. At this time, there are some groups that make a living by performing songs and dances. Most of these groups are voluntary groups and perform in groups. The profits are based on each person's income.
Fame and popularity are distributed according to a pre-agreed ratio. If one of the kabuki actors is attracted by a guest and voluntarily makes love with them, then the money will belong to the individual, which is fair to say.
This is an ancient profession, mostly held by women. Of course, some are held by men, and when there are men in it, some are even more popular than ordinary women.
Today is Li Guan's treat. He asked the boss of Pingjue Tower to invite the more famous kabuki troupe in Chang'an City for him. The musicians sat in a corner and played the bells, chimes, and drums, and from time to time they played a few rhythmless beats.
With the sound of musical instruments, several screens were specially set up in a corner of the second floor so that kabuki actors could change their costumes behind the screens. Some well-dressed nobles were already sitting in the hall, chatting and laughing with each other.
The people sitting here were all children from small aristocratic families, such as the Wei family, Du family or other big families. Generally, they would not come to a gathering of Li Guan's level. Even if they did come to save face, they would usually come and go in a hurry.
They just show their faces, and those who sit there from beginning to end are usually ordinary nobles like Li Guan.
Li Guan originally broke up his family due to the war, and then resolutely defected to Zhengxi, followed Zhengxi to attack Hanzhong, and then stayed in Hanzhong for nearly a year. In the end, he could not forget the obsession to revive the family in Guanzhong, so he
After petitioning for Zhengxi, he was transferred back to Guanzhong and served as a subordinate in Chang'an. He began to build his own network of contacts again, hoping that one day he could regain his family name.
Hearing that someone at the table started talking about Xi, everyone abandoned the original topic and began to talk about things related to Zheng Xi. After all, General Zheng Xi was currently in the limelight, having annexed Hongnong and then defeated Yuan Shao.
, he has simply become a vassal force that attracts the attention of the world, which makes people admire him...
Li Guan laughed loudly and said: "If we talk about the Lord, it is not an exaggeration to call him a versatile man in both civil and military affairs! Not to mention his outstanding military exploits and his ability to guard the country, it is rare that he is benevolent, loyal, caring and caring for the people. If we talk about ordinary officials,
Everywhere he went, he wished that the ground would be paved with yellow sand and the officials would come out to greet him... However, General Zhengxi specially sent a message to avoid them all! In order not to disturb the people's livelihood..."
If Fei Qian said this to other prefects, the other prefects might still wonder if they should understand it the other way around, but now that Pang Tong is in Chang'an, Pang Tong really ordered that there is no need to prepare any welcoming ceremony.
, He also said righteously that Guanzhong is under the jurisdiction of Zhengxi. Wherever he goes to Zhengxi, it is just like home. What kind of rituals are performed, isn't it a sign of birth?
Therefore, although Li Guan and others knew that General Zhengxi would come to Chang'an, no matter whether it was officials or nobles in Chang'an, there was no drama of traveling ten miles away to meet him, and they still did what they should do.
In the corner of the second floor, there was a young man sitting, accompanied by two guards. After listening to the words of Li Guan and others behind the screen in the hall, he looked solemn. After pondering for a moment, he stood up and said goodbye.
I paid for my meal and went downstairs with my escort.
Li Guan was talking loudly when he saw someone coming downstairs. Although they were not within the scope of his invitation, he took a casual look and felt that he looked familiar. However, he couldn't think of anything for the moment. He was interrupted by the person next to him.
He put this matter aside, called for singing and dancing, and started laughing and drinking...
The half-grown man who had gone downstairs came out of the Pingjue Tower and walked forward with a frown on his face. The guard on the side was half a step behind. After walking for a while, he suddenly whispered: "If Zhengxi comes in a light car, we will come again."
What should I do?”
The half-grown boy seemed to be comforting the guards, but also seemed to be comforting himself, and whispered: "Don't be anxious, don't be anxious... there are always flaws... and if Zhengxi really comes on a light horse, it's probably us."
Opportunity……"
…………………………
On the fifth day of June, General Fei Qian arrived at Chang'an City.
Although Fei Qian, the general who conquered the west, told him that there was no need for any welcoming ceremony, but there was no big scene that wasted people and money, and the proper etiquette was still there. After Pang Tong received the message from the soldiers, he took a group of people in Chang'an City with him.
He helped the officials, big and small, out of the city gate and headed out of the city.
Pang Tong was still young, but after all, he came from a Jingxiang family, and his political skills were not bad. After being looked down upon in the early days, he set a trap and collected a lot of people.
When Cheng Jing visited, many people did not dare to look down upon this young county governor.
Although he was still acting as a county governor in name, most people knew that it was only because Pang Tong was still too young that he used the word "fake". After a few years, he became a regular official.
Yuan Shao's advance was fierce, and Chang'an had some unrest. As a result, Pang Tong acted vigorously and captured some noisy nobles, ransacked their homes and executed them, which immediately suppressed the restlessness in Chang'an.
Of course, with Pang Tong's political index, it will never be true to the population, and the selected candidates are just right, neither too small to be ignored, nor too much trouble, just like being chopped off
A few twigs, although painful, would not lead to violent rebellion, which could be regarded as a moderate victory in the Chang'an struggle.
When Pang Tong saw the flag of Zhengxi exposed in the distance, he laughed so hard that he couldn't even see his eyes, and he hurriedly went up to meet it.
When Fei Qian saw Pang Tong, he couldn't help but be startled.
In Fei Qian's previous impression, Pang Tong was a black boy, looking like a hairless chicken, which fit perfectly with the nickname given to him by Mr. Shui Jing. He didn't know whether Mr. Shui Jing was praising Pang Tong or undermining him.
Pang Tong...
But looking at it today, maybe it’s because of the longer interval, Pang Tong has grown a lot in size, or maybe because of the good food, his figure has also changed from the skinny black short guy before to the fat black guy now, well, although
He is not too fat, but the double chin under Pang Tong's dark face shows his future development direction.
"Hi!" Fei Qian patted Pang Tong on the shoulder, then patted his belly, and joked in a low voice, "I really wonder if you have eaten all the taxes in Chang'an... Look.
Look at this... you are really lucky that you can still ride a horse..."
Pang Tong laughed loudly, touched his somewhat fat belly and said, "This is a sign that Chang'an is stable and the people are prosperous! Why, shouldn't I be stronger? I have to be so thin that the wind can blow me away to be called diligent?"
Fei Qian shook his head and said with a smile: "But you are not called strong... If I remember correctly, you are not twenty this year, right? This belly is coming out... If you continue like this, you must be
Fatty liver... Well, a belly full of oil is not good for the body... Eat less fat meat, it is good for the body..." Nowadays, Pingyang's domestic pig breeding has reached a large scale, and it has also expanded to the Guanzhong Chang'an area. After castration,
Not only does the meat of pigs have a relatively good smell, but it is also more likely to be fat. For the people of the Han Dynasty, fat meat was the favorite, and lean meat was put aside.
Pang Tong suddenly shook his head like a rattle and said, "That can't be done! I'll just take this bite! Take an inch of the ointment and put it on the fire. When the outside becomes hard and golden in color, apply it with honey... Hiss.
...I won’t say anymore, I’ll bake it once when I get to Chang’an, I’m sure you’ll like it too!”
"Haha..." Fei Qian was also a little helpless. After all, this was a habit of the Han Dynasty people. Just like people like Pang Tong also thought why Fei Qian didn't like drinking cooked tea soup. It is a personal preference and cannot be forced. "Okay
Ah, I'm just waiting for you to show off your skills..."
Although the officials following Fei Qian and Pang Tong couldn't say anything, seeing that Pang Tong and General Zhengxi had such a harmonious relationship, they naturally felt a lot. They exchanged glances with each other, and then continued to follow Fei Qian and Pang Tong.
From behind, the group of people slowly headed towards Chang'an City.
Although there was no grand ceremony, the closer to Chang'an, the more people flowed. Many people found out that General Zhengxi was coming, and spontaneously retreated to both sides of the road, leaving the main road in the middle.
, there were even some ordinary civilians who knelt on the ground and showed the greatest respect to Fei Qian, the general who conquered the West...
In the eyes of these ordinary people, no matter what the gentry officialdom said, they only had a very simple and simple standard, that is, life was much better than before during the Dong Zhuo era, or the later period of Li Guo and others. This is
This is the admiration and respect they offer to General Fei Qian who conquered the West.
Although these ordinary people do not know the operation of the court and do not know the specific disputes between Fei Qian and other princes, for these people, as long as they can live a good life and be able to satisfy their family's food and clothing, it is the greatest happiness.
.
At this time, more and more people came after hearing the news, and they were crowded beside the road. Among the crowd, some people seemed to be shouting the name of General Zhengxi, and then they rushed forward holding the things in their hands.
After moving it a bit, it seemed that it really smelled like a single pot.
Fei Qian glanced at Pang Tong.
Pang Tong quickly waved his hand and said, "I didn't arrange this...it really wasn't..."
"Haha..." Fei Qian smiled and said, "Just pretend it's not the case..." Then he waved his hand to let the soldiers on the side disperse a little and let the enthusiastic people move forward.
"What does it mean to treat it as..."
As Pang Tong was speaking, he turned his head inadvertently and saw two or three figures standing slightly on top of the abandoned pavilion on the side of the road...
Pang Tong's heart was immediately pulled away from the cheerful atmosphere and suddenly raised to his throat!
"careful!"
Not only Pang Tong, but Huang Xu who was beside Fei Qian also noticed that something was wrong. He immediately shouted a warning, and at the same time, he rode forward and raised his shield, trying to protect Fei Qian's side!
However, the speed of the arrow was faster than human reaction, and the sound of the bowstring was masked by the cheers of the lively crowd!
The next moment, the whole city was cheering outside Chang'an. At this moment, it was as if the sharp arrow had blocked the throat, and it was silent for a moment!
