Chapter 24 To be thin, you must grow tendons first
Li Chang returned to Tokyo with more than 100,000 kilograms of salted fish. The smell of salted fish was very fishy, but Li Chang kept his expression and mixed his carriage with the team transporting salted fish. In addition, he always had to
Observe whether the salted fish has become moldy, so its smell is no longer different from that of salted fish.
When Yun Zheng saw Li Chang, this guy was standing at the gate of the palace, holding two hanging fish in his hand and selling it to the officials with a smile. Seeing Yun Zheng come out, he handed out a hanging fish to Yun Zheng.
Zheng helps.
There is no way to refuse this. People have already turned into salted fish for the sake of the military camps in Liangshan. As an officer, I have no reason not to help promote this kind of food that exudes a strong fishy smell.
This was going to be fatal. Yun Zheng felt that his stomach was already churning, but he had to pull the big guys like Shi Zhongxin with a smile to bring up the salted fish in his hands, and asked him if his family needed to buy several thousand kilograms.
Try something new.
Seeing Li Chang swaggering into the palace with salted fish, Yun Zheng threw away the salted fish in his hand and hugged the horse stake and vomited wildly! He really couldn't stand the strong smell of salted fish...
Li Chang, a bastard, planned to sell all the salted fish to hundreds of officials in order not to offend Zhang Fangyan, the minister of the Ministry of Industry. People like Shi Zhongxin couldn't stand the smell of salted fish, so they covered their noses and hurriedly agreed to Yun Zheng to buy two thousand kilograms and go home to try it.
, and then hurriedly left the palace gate.
Yun Zheng finally managed to catch Li Chang's vicious hand and finally regained his breath. When he turned around, he saw Wang Anshi holding up a hanging salted fish and smelling it with an intoxicated look on his face, so he had no choice but to turn his head and vomit again.
"This salted fish is really good. The meat is plump and tender, salty and delicious. My mother often made salted fish when she was in my hometown. I miss this taste very much. Hahaha, Marquis Yun asked someone to send a hundred catties to my house. Liangshan Boduan
Having such a specialty product in such a short period of time shows that the military camp is successful, but selling it to hundreds of officials like this is a bit like asking for credit!"
Seeing Wang Anshi tear off a small piece of dried fish and put it into his mouth to chew, Yun Zheng resisted the desire to vomit and said: "Your Majesty has given me such a supervisor. What else can I say?
Selling salted fish is Zhang Xianyu's business, this guy has no guts to offend Lao Zhang, he is trying to trick me!"
Wang Anshi smiled and said: "Whether it's to take credit or to frame you, salted fish has really appeared. This thing can be sold for money. That's for sure. The people in the military camp will have some living money in their hands."
It is certain. Since it benefits the country and the people, let’s tolerate his petty thoughts! No matter how domineering Zhang Fangyan is, he would not dare to have an opinion on this matter."
The stewards of the military camp have already delivered the salted fish needed by each household in the oxcart according to the buyer's list just made. You don't need to think about it to know that the smell of salted fish will linger over the city of Tokyo for a long time.
The reason is that one hundred thousand catties of salted fish is only the output of Juntun in one month...
The total number of people in Tokyo is only one million. It is impossible to consume 100,000 kilograms of salted fish every month. However, the fish in the puddles in Shuiboliang Mountain cannot support such output for a long time.
Now it's because it's almost a wasteland with plenty of bait and no one has set foot there for decades, causing the Yellow River carp there to multiply crazily. Once a large number of fishes are caught, the fish production will definitely drop, but as long as it lasts for half a year, Yun
Zheng believes that the military households there can make a good income.
Li Chang came out of the palace, a little arrogant. He had already presented a cart of salted fish to the emperor, so the emperor naturally rewarded him with a cart of silk. The eunuchs behind him were holding those rewards.
Yun Zheng looked at Li Chang, who had a weird smile, and waved his hands to tell him not to come close to him. He didn't know that this guy, who was not much different from a salted fish, was slapped in the mouth when he met the emperor, but now he was smiling crookedly.
Very arrogant.
"Marquis Yun, you won't have any objections to me helping the villagers sell salted fish, right?"
"No, I really don't dare to have an opinion on this matter. Lao Li, you have gone too far. If you sell salted fish, there is no need to make yourself a salted fish, right?"
"Otherwise, who knows how much effort I have put into these salted fishes? I haven't even put a penny into my own pocket. Serving the country and the people is worth it even if it is a bad thing.
Hahaha, I have lived in an abalone shop (a shop that sells salted fish) for a long time and I can’t smell the smell at all. Even if people call me Li Abalone from now on, I will have no regrets. Anyway, I have long been used to centipedes and centipedes appearing in the room.
It’s the same kind of stuff that won’t attract bugs if it smells bad.”
Yun Zheng had nothing to say. He raised his thumb at Li Chang and turned around to leave. Under such circumstances, he had no reason to say anything. There was nothing you could do against a so-called person who was so cool and extremely shameless.
When she got home, Lu Qingqing came up to her with a smile. When her husband turned pale before he could speak, he covered his nose and ran away... He stood far away and shouted to the maids to prepare bath water.
After taking three baths in a row, Lu Qingqing dared to approach slowly. Together with Ge Qiuyan, she looked at her husband strangely. Why did her husband, who was usually very clean, become so dirty?
"Fell into the trap of a traitor!"
After Yun Zheng explained the cause and effect of the incident, Lu Qingqing and Ge Qiuyan laughed so hard that they couldn't stand upright.
Yun Zheng also laughed. Today's Shuibo Liangshan is basically a cave paradise that has been restored by nature. The salt-alkali land there has been thoroughly washed away by the flood in the eighth year of Qingli, and then covered with a thick layer of water.
There is a layer of fertile land rich in inorganic matter. The land there does not require a lot of fertilization at all to produce a large number of crops. Thinking of the bright future of those villagers, Li Chang's hateful fat face Yun Zheng felt cute.
Already.
After thoroughly washing away the smell, Yun Zheng went to the kitchen to make the salted fish. Li Chang unceremoniously stuffed a thousand kilograms of salted fish into the Yun family, enough to feed the Yun family for a year.
The washed salted fish is fried in an oil pan, and the aroma is forced out. People in the Song Dynasty do not pick out the two white tendons with a strong smell when eating fish, so Yunzheng generally does not eat fish from outside, salted fish
There is not much to pay attention to. Salt in the Song Dynasty was relatively expensive. In order to consume more salt, people made a lot of salted vegetables and salted fish. Most of the time, salted fish was just a variant of salt.
Salt and iron have always been controlled by the state. Because everyone can't live without it, the originally cheap salt is sold very expensive. This has been done in all dynasties. Although it is shameless, it is a way for the ruling class to control the people.
an important means.
The use of salt in the military has always been systematic, and the villagers are actually taking advantage now. They have household registration in Jingdong, and they also have household registration in the army. Although the food ration is no longer available, the rationing of salt and salted vegetables has never been cut off. Compared with
Much better than ordinary farmers.
There are not many ways to eat salted fish, other than frying and steaming. Salted fish tastes best when steamed with chicken. It is very good for Mr. Peng Li. His old wife has passed away and his only granddaughter is also married. He was unwilling to live with his granddaughter after becoming the Sichuan River Transport Envoy, and Yun Zheng could not possibly watch the old gentleman return to Shuzhong alone, so he placed the old gentleman at home as if he were his elder.
With such a respected old man at home, Lu Gong was so jealous that he wanted to tear Yun Zheng to pieces with his own hands. He believed that his family was the family closest to Mr. Peng Li. Whoever housed an imperial master would be the winner. There will be signs of prosperity, but no matter how you calculate, it's not the Yun family's turn to take advantage of this. They even approached Yun Zheng to explain this matter, but Yun Zheng kicked him out mercilessly.
Lao Liao followed Yun Zheng with the food box to the North Courtyard where the old man lived. On the first and fifteenth day of every month, whenever Yun Zheng was in Tokyo, he would personally cook a dinner to honor Mr. Peng Li. And he ate with the old man. The north courtyard had the best lighting, and it was warm in winter and cool in summer. The old man sat on a chair with his eyes closed and slowly swayed a cattail leaf fan in his hand. His long eyebrows were blown by the wind. He moves very leisurely.
The eighty-year-old man was still very sharp. When he heard the footsteps, he opened his eyes and said with a smile: "The smell of salted fish is indeed a bit stronger."
Yun Zheng smiled and stepped forward to help the old man up and said: "This food is actually not suitable for you to eat. The taste is too strong. It is okay to taste it occasionally. The disciple stewed salted fish and chicken together today seems to taste good. Can you try it? taste."
"You are a good talker. If you say yes, it won't be any worse. It doesn't matter whether you eat salted fish or not. I'm happy. Yun Yue, Su Shi, and Su Che finally got together after they went to Beijing East and West Road. Some results."
Seeing that the old gentleman was happy, Yun Zheng joked: "Speaking of it, I am your last disciple. You have put more effort into those few than you have put into your disciples.'
Mr. Peng Li watched Lao Liao put the food on the table. He also used a hot towel to clean his hands. He held up the fragrance coming out of the earthen pot with his hand and said with a smile: "You are just a stubborn stone. You have already established your shape at a young age. I don't have the ability to pull it over, so whether you can grow into a towering tree or a ghost willow in the future depends on how you grow. Yun Yue, Su Shi and Su Che are just young branches, and they can grow taller as long as they are given an example. .”
The master and the apprentice had dinner happily. It was already sunset, and Lao Liao left after serving the teapot.
Mr. Peng Li pondered for a moment and asked: "Yun Yue, Su Shi, and Su Zhe have written letters, saying that they are staying at Duke Yansheng's house in Xianyuan County. Yun Zheng, my teachings are not of the same origin as those of the Confucian family. They live in What happened to the Kong family?"
Yun Zheng whispered: "Yanyun Sixteen States!"
The old man understood the connection after thinking for a while, nodded and said: "When it comes to the power of enlightenment and the effect of winning people's hearts, no one in the world can surpass Yan Shenggong's mansion. If you want to do big things, without such a Help won't accomplish anything.
I don’t know if you have ever thought about it. The name Yan Shenggong is easy to use, but once you use it once, you will never be able to escape. Everyone will only say that you are a disciple of the Confucius family. No matter what you do, people will do it. Use Confucian teachings to interpret your behavior.
Recently, Zhang Zai, a Kansai man, put forward an argument: establish a heart for the heaven and earth, establish a destiny for the people, carry forward the unique knowledge for the saints, and create peace for all generations.
And he has his own very detailed explanation. I believe that heaven and earth have a heart. The heart of living things is inherent in heaven and earth. The heart of heaven and earth will last forever and there is no need for humans to "establish" it. Otherwise, it will inappropriately exaggerate human abilities.
, will make people no longer have a sense of awe.
In addition, predestination has been popular since ancient times, believing that people can only be at the mercy of fate. However, Zhang Zai believes that as long as through their own moral efforts, people can control their own destiny in terms of spiritual values and thus give life
With meaning. Therefore, "establishing a destiny for the livelihood of the people" means choosing the correct direction of destiny for the people, which I agree with.
Yun Zheng, you said these words a long time ago, but now they are borrowed by Zhang Zai to explain his own Neo-Confucian concepts. Alas, if you don't become a military commander, you should be able to create your own theory. It's a pity.
ah!"
After hearing the old gentleman's words, Yun Zheng's clothes were soaked with sweat, and he felt as if he had been caught in bed. Zhang Zai was the original author of this sentence, and he just used it for his own use...
Seeing Yun Zheng sweating profusely, Mr. Peng Li thought he was regretting it, and sighed: "There is no perfect choice in this world. If you become a scribe, you can certainly carry forward your ideas, but for the people of the world, you
It is much better to be a general than to be a scribe.
The Song Dynasty has been weak, and now it has just shown signs of rising. If you defeat the foreign enemies, it is equivalent to driving an iron bar into the people's crooked bodies. If you can really regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Song Dynasty will
A giant already has muscles and bones. Even if he is thin, he still needs to grow muscles and bones first!" (To be continued)
