Chapter 445 I dont want to meddle in other peoples business
As long as he is not involved in war, Yunchu is still a very easy to talk to.
Whether Hei Te Changzhi, Sha Zha Xiangru, or Gao Wen, they all can clearly discover this - Yun Chu has never been the kind of person who crosses rivers and demolishes bridges, or unloads mills and kills donkeys.
Even the three brothers of the Wang family felt the great personality charm of Yun Chu.
Because Yunchu didn't treat each of them badly just because the war between the three Koreas ended.
Yun Chu wrote clearly and clearly about Sha Zha Xiangru's military achievements, and personally sent them to the marching Sima of the Chinese army.
Gao Wen surrendered in Dahang City, worked hard to prepare food and supplies for the Tang Dynasty soldiers and horses, and showed special performance in capturing King Gaozang. Yun Chu also wrote it clearly and handed it to the marching commander Shi.
On hand.
The three brothers of the Wang family organized slave soldiers in Liaodong and provided great help to Yunchu's army. They also proposed that the three brothers of the Wang family should be abolished and the entire family be allowed to move to Chang'an.
The above things were all done by Yun Chu openly and honestly.
There are also some unknown things that Wen Wen did in private, for which the property of Gawain and the three Wang brothers shrank by more than 80%.
Therefore, when Banshi was on his way back to the court, these people respected Yunchu very much, but they inevitably felt resentful towards Wenwen.
In August, it was rainy again in Liaodong, and the roads were muddy and difficult to navigate. Fortunately, it was the victory team. Everyone was eager to go home as soon as possible. No matter how difficult the road was, it was nothing at this time.
When they crossed the Liao River, Cheng Minzhen stayed behind. He became the Grand Governor of the Yingzhou Governor's Mansion in Datang. It was a very good official position, but one level lower than his father's official position.
The reason why he was retained was because the emperor had told him to collect the chaotic people in Liaodong within three years.
not much hope.
Excluding the 12,000 men and horses in Cheng Mingzhen's hands, the longest army was Yun Chu's army.
The reason why his team was long was not because there were many people, but because he carried too many things. A team of four thousand people dragged a full five miles from beginning to end.
There is nothing we can do about it. The good things that everyone got in Baekje, Silla, Goguryeo, and Dahangcheng naturally have to be brought back.
For these things, the soldiers of Wannian County would rather use their own bodies to pave the way for these carriages and horses than abandon these good things that they sacrificed their lives for on the road.
Just when Yunchu's army passed Yanzhou, Li Ji fell ill. He had no choice but to take the commander to Yunchu's army to recuperate, and asked Lao He to take a group of imperial doctors to take a good look at him.
In fact, Li Ji didn't take any other medicine except for drinking some ginseng soup stewed by Lao He when he had nothing to do.
Especially after discovering the poker games played by Yun Chu, Wen Wen, Gao Wen and Zhong Kui, I immediately became addicted to it.
With this thing, the long journey home does not seem so long and boring.
"You seem to look down on the battle we are fighting."
Li Ji threw out a card and said nonchalantly.
Yun Chu said: "No, if I look down on this battle, then I can't even look down on myself, so what Ying Gong said is not true."
"Since you like me, why do you always act weak? With your ability, you should have acted better.
Tell me, what kind of battle do you like?"
Yun Chu looked at Li Ji's snow-white beard and hair, thought for a moment and said, "I like the battles that Yinggong fought in the past."
"Are you talking about the battles I fought with Emperor Taizong?"
"Yes, the world is in turmoil, heroes are vying for deer, and smoke is everywhere. The people are born among tigers, leopards, and wolves. A man with a three-foot sword gathers like-minded heroes to save the people from hanging upside down and save the world from dire straits.
Cut off the heads of powerful men, take the lives of traitors, straighten the topsy-turvy world, sweep away the dust in the sky, cut down the Kunlun Snow Mountain, and make the world cool and hot.
I wish I could have been born fifty years earlier and fight with the British."
Li Jidao: "That's right, but I didn't have such thoughts as you back then. I just wanted to find a job and make a bowl of Ansheng rice.
Emperor Taizong may have such ambitions, but I don't have them, I really don't have them at all."
Yun Chu said: "But, you participated."
Yun Chu's words seemed to arouse Li Ji's mood. He dropped the cards in his hand and sighed: "I heard that you are not going to take credit this time?"
Yun Chu said: "I can't lose a single point that should be mine, and I don't want a single point that shouldn't be mine."
Li Ji sighed and said: "Yes, yes, you have a million coins as a foundation. Even if you lose all the other military achievements in attacking cities and strongholds, you are still the most meritorious person in my Eastern Expedition army."
It really seems that you are the first candidate to be appointed as the Grand Protector of the Anton Protectorate."
"Are you blaming me for not reporting the million-dollar incident to the Chinese army camp?"
Li Ji waved his hand and said, "You don't want to cause trouble to me. I understand this, but do others understand?"
Yunchu laughed and said: "My name is Chu, since I am Yuchu, so of course I have to do something that no one has ever done before to be worthy of my name.
One million guan is placed in the Chinese army, and everyone is thinking about how much they can get from it. I'm afraid they won't have the heart to fight, right?
A group of demons and demons, a group of greedy people, as long as their eyes are covered by copper coins, there is probably nothing they dare not do in this world, right?
The Tang Dynasty court invested hundreds of millions and ordered us to put down the threat from the east. For such a major military and national event, we should think more about how to kill the enemy and less about money and the gains and losses of beauties."
"Evil monsters, greedy for profit? These words made Qibi Heli, Gao Kan, Pang Tongshan and others feel so sad when they heard these words.
I don’t understand since when did the generals in the army allow you to hold grudges like this?”
Yunchu sighed and said: "I don't like the current army, I really don't like it at all."
Li Ji said seriously: "If you are not satisfied, then go ahead and reform it. If you don't like it, then reshape it according to your preferences. You should never, never give up on them. This is a disservice to our Datang Army."
It is an injustice and at the same time a humiliation to our Datang army.
It’s even more of a waste of your talents.”
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "The army of the Tang Dynasty is the most important weapon of the Tang Dynasty. How can it be overthrown and rebuilt just because of one person's preferences?
This is your Majesty's responsibility, and it is also your responsibility as the Minister of Military Affairs, not my Wannian County Magistrate's responsibility.
It is the limit of my ability to cover Chang'an with gold foil and make it a city of light and wealth in my lifetime, but I think I cannot bear the heavy responsibility given by the British Duke."
Li Ji smiled bitterly and said: "In less than thirty years, the army will be disintegrated. There are many people who have seen this, and you are not the only one.
If the emperor doesn't care, the government soldiers will definitely be worried about becoming private soldiers.
If you don't care, I can tell you that you will spend the rest of your life fighting endless battles with your own people fighting your own people."
Yun Chu shook his head and said: "With the current power of the Tang Dynasty, peace can be guaranteed for fifty years.
Fifty years later, when I reach your current age, what else can I do?"
Li Ji thought about what he would look like fifty years from now, then sighed and said, "That's right, by then my bones can be used as drumsticks.
Come on, come on, let’s continue playing cards.”
Wen Wen and Zhong Kui, who had been pretending not to exist, immediately came to life and were busy shuffling and grabbing cards. To be honest, they really liked this card game.
After September, the weather in Chang'an is getting colder day by day. The cotton in Bashang has been picked, so the persimmons on the persimmon trees have turned red. The persimmons produced here are Chang'an's famous "Fire Crystal Persimmons".
Originally, the persimmons from Lintong near Chang'an were the best. Since Hucao from Wannian County began to promote the specialty of Wannian County, the best persimmons from Chang'an have become the persimmons from Bashang.
So much so that even Lintong's persimmons now have to be sold in the name of Ba Shang Fire Crystal Persimmons to get a good price.
The secret to making this food delicious is that it must be beaten by frost. Persimmons that have been beaten by frost can be as sweet as honey and not astringent.
When the time comes, insert a piece of wheat straw into the persimmon, and with a single sip, you can suck the whole persimmon pulp into your mouth. However, you still have to be careful, and you must not let the persimmon core block the straw.
The refreshing effect is clean in less than one sip.
When Guanzhong people smoke the fire crystal persimmon, they pay attention to absorbing it all in one mouthful, and then use the second mouthful. Generally, they are not Guanzhong people.
The number one specialty of Wannian County is cotton. Although there is very little land in Wannian County, everyone believes that only cotton from Wannian County can make the best quilts and mattresses, not those from Chang'an County.
As for the cotton from other places, it is not bad, but it is not as warm and soft as the cotton from Wannian County.
The second specialty of Wannian County is the large dining hall. If any outsider who comes to Chang'an does not go to the large dining hall, his trip to Chang'an is basically in vain. If you have the opportunity to participate in Jinchangfang on August 15th,
For a garden tour, this trip to Chang'an is considered a profit.
If you have the opportunity to participate in the Shangyuan Festival in Jinchangfang, that would be great. I guarantee that you will not be lacking in conversation topics in your life.
Another specialty of Wannian County is Wannian wine. It seemed to be called Xinfeng wine in the past. After 20 years of hard work, the Wannian County government finally successfully turned this wine into a specialty of Wannian County. This kind of wine
It has many characteristics, the most talked about one of which is that this wine is suitable for heavy drinking.
Many Chang'an youths often hold the reins of war horses in one hand and hold a large bowl in the other. They drink seven or eight bowls of Gudong and Gudong in one breath, then smash the bowls to pieces boldly, then roar loudly, and then ride back on horseback.
He can be called a young hero.
Naha was wearing a red lambskin coat, with pure white wool peeking out from the collar and cuffs, making her little face look pink.
She was looking up at the persimmons on the tree. There had been an early frost last night, and she didn't know if the persimmons could be eaten.
