As a general, Li Jing is qualified, but as a businessman, he is terrible. If a Persian businessman brings a thousand catties of goods from distant Central Asia, and the one thousand catties of goods are exchanged for one thousand catties of copper coins, then he will
The compensation was so bad that I couldn't even put on my trousers. A copper coin weighed eight kilograms, and a thousand kilograms of goods could only be exchanged for one hundred and twenty-five kilograms. Not even He Shao knew how to do this kind of business.
, not to mention those shrewd Persian businessmen...
The small barrel of wine that Yun Ye gave to Li Jing was worth no less than ten guan. The small barrel of wine, including the wooden barrel, only weighed ten kilograms, so Li Jing made a fool of the auxiliary soldiers in this transaction.
.
However, the auxiliary soldiers didn't care. They watched He Shao take out a huge scale, hook the goods on one end, and put the copper coins in a bag on the other. Whenever the goods were equal to the weight of the bag, the auxiliary soldiers happily loaded the goods onto the cart and put the copper coins.
Put it behind yourself.
Yun Ye quietly opened a cargo bag and saw that it was filled with benzoin. This stuff is a good raw material for making spices and a rare medicinal material. Sun Simiao had some there. He was stingy last time when Yun Ye had a stomachache.
I gave Yun Ye a small amount, mixed the medicine and took it, and the pain in my stomach immediately stopped. Yun Ye was very impressed. This big bag weighed a hundred kilograms, and it cost more than ten guan to buy it. It was nothing like picking it up for free.
the difference.
The auxiliary soldiers were very generous. When they saw that there were no copper coins, but there were still more than a dozen bags of goods, they gave them all to He Shao with a wave of their hands. They had seen such generous people, but they had never seen such generous people. They gave away thousands of coins without hesitation.
Got out.
The prodigal son was kicked countless times by General Li. He only dared to lie on the ground and groaned. He did not dare to quibble. Although he despised General Li's small belly in his heart, he looked grateful and virtuous on the face.
He Shao didn't have a penny now, so he pledged all his ancestral jade pendants to Li Jing to get all the goods. Sun Simiao, Tang Jian, and Xu Jingzong were wandering around when the goods were tied up. Old Sun kept sniffling, walking along
The smell soon turned out to be benzoin. When I opened the bag, my eyes widened. Without saying a word, I carried it on my shoulder and returned to my oxcart. He Shao did not dare to stop me. He watched helplessly as Sun Simiao robbed it in broad daylight.
Sun Simiao is not the only robber
, Tang Jian turned around and ran away with a large piece of agate in his arms. Xu Jingzong was more interested in glassware, so he dropped a few pennies to He Shao, took a glass bowl and ran after Tang Jian.
General Li was finally happy, playing with the ancestral jade pendant of the He Shao family in his hand, and celebrating his great fortune with his auxiliary soldiers.
The next day the convoy continued to move forward, the grassland was gradually left behind, and the road in front gradually became narrower. Fortunately, the auxiliary soldiers got a huge amount of money. Everyone carried thirty or forty kilograms of copper coins on their backs, but they did not
He cried out in pain, and when he encountered a place where the four-wheeled carriage could not pass, he used a shovel to flatten both sides. General Li did not even need to get off the carriage, and the excited auxiliary soldiers solved the problem.
Gouzi swore that he would marry three wives. One would make shoes for him, one would talk to him, and the other would give birth to a baby. As for how to give birth to a baby, he said they would sleep together. As for how to sleep to give birth to a baby, he said
He doesn't know anything. But it doesn't matter, he has plenty of time to study. Now he has three bags, each with enough money to marry a wife.
Yun Ye breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived in the Tang Dynasty. The general's triumphal return was naturally received with grand ceremony. Tang Jian and Xu Jingzong also sang and composed poems surrounded by local officials in Yunzhong, and lived like gods.
comfortable.
Yun Ye did not participate
These parties, lock yourself in a room alone
Preparing for the conversation with Tian Xiangzi
According to the information, he described in detail what he knew about the North Pole, and made a special explanation about the aurora in the North Pole. That thing is not a divine light. Don't chase it, otherwise you will fall into the ice cave. I write this here
, he almost wanted to go to the North Pole to see the Aurora. He shook his head to drive this idea out of his mind. Going to the ancient wilderness under the current conditions is really a good way to commit suicide. Tian Xiangzi and the others are not stupid, but too much.
Smart people will always have different ideas from others. Paranoia is the characteristic of these people. If they have fantastic ideas and paranoia, they would have succeeded if they had other things. Unfortunately, they have chosen a path that will never be possible.
Dead end.
It felt like Tian Xiangzi would come looking for him in the next few days, but he didn't show up. Yun Ye left Yunzhong with doubts.
The ecological environment will be better when there are fewer people. There are ancient trees on both sides of the mountain road. The forest in early spring is full of vitality. He has hardly eaten green vegetables all winter. Seeing the young sprouts that have just sprouted on the grass, Yun Ye is salivating.
Bitter greens, Digophylla, purslane, and star grass are still in the state of buds and can hardly be seen on the ground. But if you dig deep with a shovel, you will find white, tender and juicy rhizomes.
Gently scoop the basket with boiling water, put in the Sichuan peppercorns, chili peppers, and pat a few more cloves of garlic. Pour in the boiling soybean oil. A refreshing aroma will make people intoxicated. Shanxi has produced good vinegar since ancient times. Burn the vinegar in the pot.
Open it, pour it on wild vegetables, and take a bite. It's like giving it to a god and not changing it.
It was not good to eat alone, so he divided a bowl of wild vegetables into several plates and asked the guards to deliver them to Li Jing, Tang Jian and the others. He carried a plate to Sun Simiao's oxcart. The old Taoist had been feeling unwell for the past few days. According to him, the wind was chilling to his bones.
If you don't understand the terminology of traditional Chinese medicine, and if you see his nose and tears, you just think he has a cold.
In fact, this is a reaction to the lack of vitamins. The winter on the grassland is very long. This winter, Sun Simiao, like Yun Ye, only eats a lot of meat. Although there is tea that can barely relieve some of the greasiness of the meat, Sun Simiao spends most of his time on a vegetarian diet.
It was impossible not to eat meat on the grassland. His body needed vitamin supplements more than Yun Ye. Sure enough, when Lao Sun saw the green and fresh vegetables, his appetite suddenly increased. He ate the tasteless rice just now.
Eat two bowls.
Being able to eat is a good thing, and I feel a sense of intimacy towards Sun Simiao Yunye that is similar to that of a family member.
Every day when the team takes a break, digging wild vegetables has become a new hobby for everyone. Even if they are not as delicious as those made by Yunhou, they are put into soup cakes. The green vegetables are accompanied by white noodles, which is pleasing to the eye. Eat a bowl and see the green vegetables.
I will also eat more vegetables.
The Yellow River has just thawed, and huge ice blocks are floating in the river. This is the most dangerous time for the Yellow River. No ferry dares to launch a boat at this time. Local officials must always be vigilant and must send more troops in some narrow and turning places.
Manual supervision shows that if huge ice blocks accumulate in these places, an ice dam will soon form. The ice dam will block the river channel, and the river water flowing down will overflow the river embankment, causing floods. People on both sides of the Yellow River will walk every other
It would happen once or twice every few years. There was almost no solution to this kind of flood. Apart from dredging the river and letting the large pieces of ice flow down the water to melt naturally, Datang had almost nothing to do about it.
Standing by the river, you can see the Hancheng County of Guanzhong. When you get there, you will officially enter Guanzhong. I don’t believe that Tian Xiangzi has the courage to step into Guanzhong. Xitong needs to hide his identity when he goes to Guanzhong. Tian Xiangzi is so dangerous
Once a character is discovered by the court, he will face endless pursuit. The reputation of Baiqi still has a certain deterrent effect.
Xitong stood under a big tree and supported an old man with white beard and hair. The old man was dressed in linen clothes and wearing straw sandals. He wore a golden crown on his head, which was studded with precious stones. A pearl as big as a longan came from the
The top of the golden crown poked out, and there was a faint brilliance flowing. The old man's face was dissatisfied with dark brown age spots, and his eyes were also cloudy. He was completely a dying old man, wearing a luxurious golden crown, white linen clothes, and golden straw sandals.
This old man looks extremely harmonious.
Yun Ye touched his shabby golden crown. There was only a red pom-pom on it, and the crown was still hollow. When grandma was looking for someone to make the crown, she thought the solid one was too heavy. Now it seems that it is really embarrassing.
When I woke up this morning, there was an invitation on the table. Except for the annoying way of delivering it, everything else was very polite. The calligraphy on the invitation was simple and vigorous, and it was obvious that it was the owner's own handwriting.
Since people take matters seriously, Yun Ye needs to treat him with courtesy. He is no longer a newcomer to your land. His two years of official career have long since transformed a simple common man of later generations into a feudal landlord with distinct classes.
It is not appropriate to meet him in official uniform. You can only meet him in the most gorgeous ordinary clothes. This is a kind of respect for Tian Xiangzi.
Tian Xiangzi spoke very little, perhaps due to lack of physical strength. Just an ordinary courtesy meeting made his chest rise and fall. There was a large mat under the tree with a thick blanket on it. Tian Xiangzi was sitting in Xitong
With the help of others, he sat behind the desk and said to Yun Ye, "I'm sorry, Marquis Yun. There is nothing to entertain the people in the wilderness. I only have some fruit that I can give you. Marquis Yun, please use it."
Yun Ye had already looked at the big peach on the plate in front of him. The pears were drooling. Hearing what Tian Xiangzi said, he couldn't hold back. He picked up a peach and took a bite. It was full of water, but not too sweet. It was standard.
I took a few bites of the melons and fruits in the greenhouse, then curled my lips and put them down.
"Haha, just winter melons and fruits are really not in the eyes of Marquis Yun. As soon as Marquis Yun arrived in Chang'an, he started cultivating winter vegetables. Presumably these fruits are also common enjoyment for Marquis Yun, right?"
"These are just trails. The off-season vegetables of the Yun family are just a dowry for the girl at home. As long as the temperature is right, they are not really magical. Why did the old gentleman use these things to test Yun? Although I am young, I am also a good person.
There is no reason for a person who makes a promise to go back on something he has promised."
"I feel ashamed for judging a gentleman's heart with a villain's heart. I hope Marquis Yun will forgive me. Immortals have their own treasures and cherish them. This is a truth that has never been easy for thousands of years. Why did you abandon them like worn-out shoes when you arrived at Marquis Yun?"
I'm puzzled, and I hope Marquis Yun will tell me." When he asked this question, Tian Xiangzi suddenly sat up straight, and his cloudy old eyes suddenly became bright, as if he wanted to see Yun Ye through.
"The treasure in your heart has taken away my master's life. Now, because of this so-called treasure, it has almost threatened the safety of my family. It's okay not to want such a treasure. You are a treasure and I regard you as an enemy. If you want it, take it."
Just go, you just need to give me a detailed map. On your way to seek immortality, you may wish to write down the surrounding environment and mineral resources one by one. Just come back and give it to me. I just want to know what is on the land there and whether it is suitable.
Suitable for the survival of the people, these materials are my treasures. As for the immortal's words, it is up to you to realize them."
