Milo did not refute Qian Zhiwen's statement, and the two of them walked into the back kitchen of Baiweilou together.
Yang Yu, who saw Qian Zhiwen, asked the two of them to wait in the private room first, and then got back to trying new dishes.
Milo, who was already used to this, came to the second floor with Qian Zhiwen.
The two of them drank tea and chatted.
Compared with yesterday's official exchange, the center of today's conversation was naturally centered on Yun'an.
At the same time, during the communication process, Milo understood some of Qian Zhiwen's concerns.
As a collateral branch of the Qian family, Qian Zhiwen and Yang Yu said, it is easier to obtain funding from the Qian family and can also use some of the Qian family's resources. If Yun'an had not chosen Youzhou, most other places
, Qian Zhiwen could all help, but the place he chose was the weakest area of the entire Qian family.
Hanxia has a vast territory and is divided into twelve states based on its scope.
The four eastern states are Yuzhou, Qingzhou, Yanzhou and Xuzhou.
There are two southern states, Yangzhou and Jingzhou.
The three northern states are Jizhou, Youzhou and Bingzhou,
The three western states are Liangzhou, Yongzhou, and Yingzhou,
What needs to be specially stated here is that, in addition to the twelve states, the middle area of Hanxia, where the emperor lived in seclusion, is also the political center directly controlled by the six officials of Hanxia, and is independent of the twelve states.
It is jokingly called the Thirteenth State - China.
The branches of the Qian family are spread throughout the twelve states. As nodes, they connect the blood network of the Qian family. They try every means to improve the circulation of local money, and then integrate it with local money transactions and other concepts to strengthen the inheritance of the Qian family.
effect.
Therefore, in theory, wherever there are people and transactions, there will be wealthy people.
But Youzhou is one of the few exceptions.
First of all, Youzhou is too close to the underworld, and some of the laws and principles of the underworld have been integrated with that land.
Secondly, due to the invasion and persecution of Youzhou by some northern countries, the entire Youzhou trading system is in a state of semi-collapse, and is often dominated by barter.
Finally, among the four major rivers in Hanxia, Jinjiang, Honghe, Dihe and Junjiang, the only place that has not flowed is Youzhou.
Moreover, the water circulation and surface water systems within Youzhou are basically self-contained. Except for a small amount of exchanges with Bingzhou and Jizhou, there is no systematic exchange of river basin water systems at all.
Therefore, the Qian family could only establish some nets and contacts in the inland direction of Youzhou.
"Actually, I also know that Youzhou is much better now than it was in the past. I can at least receive some news when he goes there. If he went there four thousand years ago, he would have disappeared without a trace, and there would be no news at all!"
Hearing this, Milo immediately thought of the 4,700-year history of Han Xia's blood and tears, and said softly: "But if it were 4,800 years ago, not only would you not have stopped Yun'an, but you would have chosen to give up what you have now.
Everything, let’s go to Youzhou to help!”
Hearing this, Qian Zhiwen couldn't help but fell silent.
Four thousand eight hundred years ago was one of the darkest moments in Hanxia.
At that time, a large number of evil spirits suddenly appeared in various places in Hanxia. In order to suppress the source, the emperor led a group of immortals to conquer the outside world.
It was also during that time that the underworld below Youzhou was rioting, several mansions sank into it, half of the state turned into the underworld, and countless people were trapped between life and death.
In response to the accident in Youzhou at that time, Youzhou's local Border Defense Department, Emperor Protection Department, Air Traffic Control Department, and some of the Zhenhai Department's troop numbers all became history.
Some members of the Border Defense Department, the Emperor Protection Department, and the Air Traffic Control Department in Jizhou and Bingzhou used people as stakes and flesh as walls to guard the borders of various places. They withstood the backlash of the underworld at that time and prevented the collapse of the underworld from getting worse.
Pushing inward inch by inch, pulling Youzhou out of the underworld.
At that time, Youzhou was filled with mountains and rivers, blood, hot soil and soul.
Afterwards, the emperor returned from the expedition outside the territory and personally entered the depths of the netherworld. After a great battle, the catastrophe was finally ended.
During that catastrophe, all the northern military families stopped offering sacrifices, and some northern families didn't even leave their inheritance or names.
After a while, Qian Zhiwen said: "It depends on where I was at that time! If I were in Yongzhou or Qingzhou at that time, I probably wouldn't have the chance to go to Youzhou."
"Yes." Milo nodded.
4,800 years ago, when the emperor left, there was no peace everywhere. Although Youzhou was seriously damaged, Yongzhou and Qingzhou were not much better. Each had its own place, and they almost turned into history.
.
In comparison, Yangzhou has not experienced much turmoil since its establishment, and the power of its generals has never been considered strong.
This was also one of the reasons why Yun An was preparing to go to Youzhou due to the ridicule of the Eastern Demon Sect.
This place is really not suitable for military strategists and martial arts monks to practice.
"What are you talking about?"
Holding the newly prepared dishes, Yang Yu opened the door and was a little surprised when he saw the two people who didn't look very good. He placed the dishes in his hands in front of Milo and Qian Zhiwen and said with a smile: "Have a taste, this
It's the stuffed pork I made based on Milo's advice, using roasted whole pig as raw material. If possible, please join the banquet in a few days."
Milo lowered his head and saw the dishes on the white jade plate. The outermost layer was processed barbecue. Under the translucent meat slices, you could vaguely see the oily bean paste. Below that was the glutinous rice that had absorbed the meat oil. Just looking at it made him feel happy.
People's appetite increases greatly.
Milo calmed down, raised the corners of his mouth, picked up a piece of meat, and put it into his mouth.
Yang Yu's fire control is very good, and it is also processed very properly. After one bite, it has a light barbecue aroma, and the soft and sweet sweetness of bean paste. When paired with the bottom layer of lard and honey, the glutinous rice has a perfect taste.
It has fresh, fragrant, soft, waxy, sweet and other important meanings. It can be said that it is extremely delicious and makes people want to eat more.
Of course, the most amazing thing is that there is a vague feeling of warmth in this dish.
This feeling is not just a taste brought by the dishes, but more of a mental resonance, which allows people to feel the chef's intention when cooking and the mutual cooperation between the ingredients.
This is also the reason why Kitchen Dao can become independent and become one of the Nine Immortal Sects.
Milo raised his head in surprise, looked at Qian Zhiwen, and then said to Yang Yu: "Congratulations, your cooking skills have improved a lot."
"Thanks to the guidance you gave me earlier, I have the opportunity to get to this point. According to this rhythm, in less than three years, I won't have to worry about my father suddenly taking me back. By the way, this time
The dishes are just finished, and there must be some problems. Do you have any good suggestions?"
After Yang Yu finished speaking, he first looked at Qian Zhiwen and asked for his opinion.
Because of the emotional impact contained in the meat, Qian Zhiwen's mood had calmed down a lot. After nodding in praise, Qian Zhiwen expressed some of his opinions.
After Yang Yu wrote them down one by one, he looked at Milo with bright eyes.
