The new emperor ascended the throne and granted a general amnesty to the whole country. He also exempted the Gyeonggi area from two years of rent transfer and other places for one year. This is truly a celebration for the whole world.
Huaiyu, who had just been deprived of his weapons as a young prisoner, rested at home for two days and returned to Xuanwu Gate to serve as the captain on duty.
His boss Zhou Shaofan called him over directly and handed him a piece of paper.
"You performed well in protecting His Majesty last time, and you also beheaded two prisoners. Now that you have achieved meritorious service, you will be promoted to the first level and awarded a rank." Old Zhou said with a smile.
"Promoted to Sanlang, promoted to general."
Huaiyu was already somewhat calm and unfazed. He took it with a smile and said thank you to Lao Zhou.
"You should thank your Majesty."
Huaiyu then hurriedly crossed his hands towards the north and thanked you for your kindness.
The promotion and honors this time surprised Huaiyu. He was almost as good as soy sauce that night. He was not as brave as Li Shimin. However, he probably was compensated by Li Shimin. After all, Li Shimin said that he defeated the enemy in a night attack last time.
He was promoted to a minor prison because of his great merits. However, he was dismissed after just three days.
"Business as usual,"
He already has a lot of land on hand, but how to cultivate it is a difficult problem. He can't rent it all to others, as that would reduce the income by at least half.
They settled in Liangzhou, which was a real local snake with strong strength. Back then, the two brothers overturned the locks of Li Gui, the king of Liang, and took him to Chang'an without any soldiers from the Tang Dynasty. Would the Tang Dynasty be afraid of it?
In addition, in addition to the Shenji right battalion stationed in Qujiang, Li Shimin also deployed a flying cavalry battalion and a left and right Xiaowei battalion. In fact, there were always 800 people stationed, belonging to four units and not subordinate to each other.
The other knife is a ring-head horizontal knife made of Damascus pattern steel. It is a typical Tang Dynasty horizontal knife style, but the pattern on it is amazing.
His Majesty's special decree is that you previously had 1,500 acres of dedicated land in Longyou, and this time I will give you another 500 acres in Shannan, and the full amount of 2,000 acres will be granted to you."
Setting up the stove, boiling a pot of water, taking out a cake of tea leaves, Huaiyu began to pry the tea.
Pry off a piece of tea from the tea cake, put it on the fire and roast it slowly to get the fragrance of the tea, then put it in a stone mortar and crush it into foam, then wrap it with gauze and tie it tightly with a thread.
They didn't have any requests, so they suggested that Huaiyu should go with him to visit the warrior Xun's house if he had time.
Huaiyu accepted the five hundred acres of land and Yongye with a smile.
Zhou Fanshao handed Huaiyu another document, "This is a reward given to you personally by His Majesty."
"Is it because there's no seasoning added and it's tasteless?"
As a result, An Yuanshou waved and a man came over leading a tall horse.
He asked his attendants to fetch two knives.
This Wu family's unique product is no worse than ordinary bath beans, especially since it is an exclusive sale. This made him smell the business opportunity. He came to Huaiyu to get the goods from Huaiyu.
I even want to buy a son.
Open it, you will find a knife shaped like a crescent moon, with a blade face about three to four centimeters wide, a cross-shaped guard, about one meter long, and a blood groove.
In the Wude Dynasty, the twelfth-level honorary officer was designated as the tenth rank. The third-level honorary rank was of course only based on rank. In fact, if you only had the honor of being a general and did not have any casual-level official positions, if you wanted to become an official, you would have to be selected first.
I have accumulated enough qualifications. After a few years, I passed the exam and could only be selected for a seventh-grade job.
An Yuanshou thanked him and went to visit the incoming governor of Liangzhou in advance, which was very necessary for the An family.
"You also know that compared with the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, the Yongye fields of officials and honorary officials were not given to each other but were awarded based on their height. Nowadays, fields are generally awarded not in the capital region but in the heart of the Central Plains.
If it is a small area outside the Central Plains, only half of it will be given.
Carrying the official documents, Huaiyu returned to the Shenji Camp at the north gate.
Huaiyu remained calm. Two days ago, the warrior Xun told him that he was going out on his own. He did not say where he was going, but only that the emperor would arrange the trip.
An Yuanshou is a Sogdian Hu. He likes to eat beef, mutton, and drink cheese. He doesn't like tea very much. He doesn't come here just to drink tea.
Now An Yuanshou said to inspect the Liangzhou governor, Wu Huaiyu believed him. After all, the An family's influence in Hexi was unparalleled. Even in the capital, they would definitely be able to grasp the trends in Liangzhou-related matters in a timely manner, and maybe even
It is possible that before Li Shimin planned to send the warrior Yu to Liangzhou, he also asked the An family for their opinions in private.
Huaiyu was indeed not used to the way people drank tea in the Tang Dynasty. It was better to say that they were drinking soup, which not only added salt and ginger and green onion, but also sometimes added mutton fat and milk, which almost became the base of a hot pot.
At this time, similar products were mainly based on bath beans and facial medicine, but compared to the soaps made with alkali, soap, and oil, the cost was higher, and the effect was not as good as that of the Wu family.
"This sword was made by a famous Persian craftsman. It was once owned by a Persian Sassanid governor. The name of this long sword is Shamshir, which means lion's tail in Persian."
If soaps like Wu Huaiyu were sold to Silk Road merchants in Liangzhou, the profits would be huge.
The horse is a horse with the blood of Kangju, and the person is a fox orchid.
An Yuanshou didn't bother him any more, stood up and left, and Huaiyu was sent to the door.
"I told Erlang last time about the Damascus knives. I specially picked two of them and sent them to you today."
Two knives of completely different styles placed together.
The blond and blue-eyed young Hu Ji was very popular among the powerful and powerful scholars in Chang'an. With a wave of his hand, An Yuanshou gave all the people and horses to Wu Huaiyu.
"The tea cooked by Erlang is a bit different." Qianniu Beishen An Yuanshou came to visit and had the honor to taste the tea cooked by Huaiyu himself.
"Red powder is given to beauties, and swords are given to heroes. Brother Wu and I hit it off as old friends at first sight, and we cherish each other."
"I heard that your uncle is going to inspect the school for the Liangzhou Governor." An Yuanshou suddenly said while drinking tea.
An Yuanshou is so sweet and generous with his actions.
After the water on the stove boils twice, take the salt bricks brought back from Zhang County, break off small pieces, crush them into foam and put them into the boiling water.
Now that he has been promoted to general, he has two thousand acres of land.
"Too expensive."
That was Yongye Field, an honorary officer of the General. Previously, Lu Huairang was in Longyou and gave him special arrangements. He went through the back door and arranged for him all the 1,500 acres of Yongye Field, a distinguished officer of the General.
It would be best to build your own farm, buy slaves to farm the estate, recruit some long-term workers, and supplement it with short-term workers, or even develop some different planting methods, so that you can maximize profits.
Huaiyu smiled.
"Fortunately, the green onion, orange peel, cinnamon, ginger slices, milk, etc. are not added, but the tea leaves are purer. It is the first time I have seen you wrap the tea foam in gauze, so the tea soup is clearer."
This first bowl of tea soup tastes the best.
The shape is very beautiful.
The title "Shang Dajun" sounds very resounding. This official title was first established by Sun Quan of the Three Kingdoms. He was above the generals and had extremely heavy powers. During the Sixteen Kingdoms period, Han, Qian Yan, Bei Yan, etc. also had it.
Established, during the reign of Emperor Wu of the Northern Zhou Dynasty, he was promoted to a distinguished official, and during the Sui Dynasty, he was promoted to a second-grade official official.
Even one of the An Xinggui brothers has been in Chang'an all year round.
Huaiyu was not in the mood to review. Qianqiying had his own office in the Forbidden Garden outside Xuanwu Gate, where he also had his office. When he walked in, he found that even though he didn't usually come, he had kept it very clean.
The scimitar alone was probably worth a thousand pieces of silk.
The handle of the knife is small, made of iron and inlaid with gold. The handle, scabbard and guard are all inlaid with rubies, emeralds and even diamonds. It is said that the original owner, the governor, was a Persian prince.
"I'm free at any time now, but I don't know if my fourth uncle is free. I'll send someone to ask. If it's convenient, can I invite Anlang again?"
Lao Zhou comforted Huaiyu for a while, fearing that he would be too young to think about things and would be resentful.
However, due to the processing technology of tea at this time, it was difficult for Huaiyu to drink roasted loose tea. Ordinary tea cakes are not boiled, and if they are brewed directly, they will not have the same flavor.
He patted Huaiyu on the shoulder and said, "Don't worry too much about the weapons supervisor. You just happened to be implicated at the right time. Your Majesty still appreciates you very much."
An Yuanshou just made a tentative question and stopped mentioning it after seeing the situation. As for the purchase price, quantity and other details of the soap, he did not need to discuss it in detail with Huaiyu. An's storekeepers would come forward to discuss these matters in detail.
As long as this identity fulfills the intention.
Compared with the Tang Dynasty's straight-edged sword, this Persian long sword is as curved as a half-moon.
One is as curved as a half moon, and the other is straight and narrow!
In addition to the horn-like Damascus knife that he gave to Huaiyu before, Huaiyu made up a three-piece set.
It's a pity that Huaiyu can't be sold.
As the saying goes, thunder, rain and dew are all gifts from the king. If you cannot accept it well, your future may be ruined.
The first, second and third bowls that were scooped out after that were just bad, and the fourth and fifth bowls were generally not drunk by the Tang people who were good at tea.
"Do Qianqi Envoy want to review the brothers?" Yuchi Baolin asked.
There are still five shifts on duty, divided into two battalions. One battalion usually has 200 people on duty.
When it boils again, there is already a film on the tea soup.
As the most powerful person in Hexi, the An family was the largest Hu merchant in the Hexi Corridor. With nearly two hundred years of business, they had a very good understanding of the east-west merchants and goods passing through the Liangzhou Silk Road.
The blond and blue-eyed Orchid was left looking at him.
"Brother's little thought is not respectful, but please accept it. I will go back to my hometown to wait for Jiayin first." After saying that, An Dalang left with a smile.
Boil the water again, scoop out a ladle and put it aside, put the tea bag in it, after the water boils again, pour the water you took out before,
Let the soup stop boiling.
Originally there were a thousand people, but now another thousand people have come in.
Because the An family has been operating in Liangzhou for nearly two hundred years and has been part of the Sogdian business group for generations, their influence is so great that the imperial court cannot allow them to serve as governors again.
After coming out of Lao Zhou's place, Yuchi Baolin from the left camp of Qianqi Camp came to greet him.
This knife is a bit long.
However, the An family had great influence, but they still showed great loyalty in Hexi in recent years, helping the court put down many local rebellions in Hexi, and even suppressed the rebellion of Sogdian Hu.
Qian Niu Bei is only sixteen years old and has a brighter future than Wu Huaiyu, but this young man with his braided hair is worthy of being a Sogdian. When he was not on duty in Chang'an, he still wanted to do business.
.
"Brother An, if you like this soap of mine, it's not a problem. The output is not high now, but I will try my best to supply you with a good price." Huaiyu didn't mention the transfer of the secret recipe, so naturally he didn't mean it.
He was very interested in Huaiyu's fragrant rice noodles.
"Gong Wu, my father, and uncle are all heroes in the founding of the country. We are very happy when Duke Wu goes to Liangzhou and settles down."
As for why Li Shimin didn't just let the An family brothers choose one of them to be the governor of Liangzhou to replace Changle King Li Youliang, but instead let the warrior Xun be the governor, this matter is very simple.
Perhaps because of the last battle, or because Duan Lun and the others were messing around, Li Shimin re-appointed the supervisors, junior supervisors, and prime ministers of the Ordnance Supervisor, and even strengthened the Shenji Battalion.
After reaching rank 12, Wu Huaiyu actually became a high-ranking general at rank 10.
Why does An Yuanshou stay in Chang'an? He is a hostage.
Fu Fu is the Eastern Roman Byzantine Empire. After the word Rome was spread through Armenian, Persian, Sogdian and other dialects, it spread to the Eastern Tang Dynasty and became Fu Fu.
In the eyes of the Tang people, Fu Fu is located in the far west of the Western Regions, very far away. There are two Fu Fu affairs in Chang'an City that are more famous. One is the blond and blue-eyed Fu Fu Orchid, and the second is the Fu Fu dog, also called Kang Guozi, or
It's a pug.
Just when Huaiyu was thinking about how to communicate with Hu Ji, Hu Ji bowed down, smiled and said hello in Chinese, which was quite standard, "Irina, please pay homage to Alang!"
Blonde, blue eyes, handsome and dignified, fair skin, beautiful face, tall, well-proportioned figure, charming face, seductive eyes.
