Chapter 344 Crystal Glasses
After passing the message, Fang Jie was faced with an inexhaustible meal. The generals of the left avant-garde and the officials of Pingshang Road took turns in battle. Today at the Zuixianlou, tomorrow at Yonghe Building, the famous restaurant in Yongzhou City is only half Monthly solution almost ate it once.
The customs in the southwest are similar to those in Jiangnan, but the flavors of the dishes are much different.Jianghuai cuisine pays attention to a light, relative element to pursue a realm of dishes like scenery.Southwestern cuisine has a strong taste, and the taste is partial to the words sweet and fragrant. It has some meaning of Sichuan cuisine in the past, so Fang Jie did not feel awkward at all, but liked it very much.In the past life, any small restaurant on the roadside can fry several Sichuan dishes. The authentic and unauthentic put aside anyway, and the name will not be wrong after all.
He has been entertaining for half a month, and Fang Xie fears that his fat will come out, so he increases the practice time by half an hour every morning.
Later, I couldn't bear the offensive of Jiuchi Roulin. Fang Jie pushed all the invitations of today on the grounds of physical discomfort and took Shen Qingfan and Mu Xiaoyao to go to Yongzhou City.Speaking of which it has been more than ten days since Yongzhou, I really haven't taken a good look at this big city in the southwest.
Compared with Chang'an's regular rules, the buildings in Yongzhou city are slightly scattered.All the squares in Chang'an City are built neatly as if cutting tofu pieces, but it seems that everything is random here.Relatively speaking, Fang Jie prefers this kind of messy city.
Chang'an City is so big, but if you walk on the street, if you don't look at the signboards of the shops on both sides of the road, it seems that you will always walk on the same street. The atmosphere is atmospheric, magnificent, and magnificent.There are mountains and water in Yongzhou City. Officials seem to retain the legacy of Shang State. They do not like to live in trouble but live in the house at the foot of Yihe Mountain in Yongzhou City.In Chang'an City, officials were proud to live near the Tai Chi Palace, while in the original Shang Dynasty, officials were proud to live far away from the palace.
It seems that the latter is a bit indifferent to fame and fortune, but it is actually more luxurious and corrupt.Yihe Mountain is not big, according to the principle should be regarded as a branch of Cangman Mountain.Yihe Mountain is actually two mountain bags, and there is a short slope in the middle that is not a mountain beam. The two low mountains are more than ten miles away. One is surrounded by the imperial city in the east of Yongzhou City.The other is in the south of the city, occupied by officials.
The officials of the Shang State were so corrupted that no one put their minds on government affairs at all. A group of officials gathered together to make fun of poetry.During the dynasty, the emperor of the Shang Dynasty often sat on the dragon chair and made a pair. The following officials who first came out with a neat and tidy couplet were rewarded.
A dynasty that lasted hundreds of years has reached a shocking point when it is overweight.When Nan Chen still existed, the Shang people still had blood in their bones.Chen Guo ’s army ’s several offensives were defeated by the commercial army. At its most glorious, the commercial army once counterattacked into Chen Guo ’s territory for 1,700 miles, which was only two hundred miles away from Chen Guoxi ’s capital of Laoyang City.
It was also after the war that the civil servants felt that they could not restore the status of the generals so that they overwhelmed them in the court, so they jointly fabricated criminal evidence, framed more than a dozen generals and tried to join forces to rebel, and the emperor of Shang Dynasty was angry Kill the generals who came back with the merits of war.The civil servants clapped their hands and celebrated that the emperor was an immortal.Since then, Shang Guo's style of writing has prevailed, and the general's low status has plummeted.
This is why the Sui army's army attacked Shangguo like that.So that when the left-forward general Luo Yao brought 20,000 tired teachers outside the city of Yongzhou, the hundreds of thousands of merchants defending Yongzhou opened the door and surrendered.
There are more than 100,000 defending troops, only 20,000 on the siege side are still tired, and the winning side is actually the latter ... This is the bloodiest relationship between the merchants and no soldiers.The imperial family of the Shang State did not trust military commanders but only civilian officials, so the people in charge of the military power later turned out to be a group of most poetic scholars.
It is not terrible for literati to lead soldiers. What is scary is that literati who can only write poems lead troops.
Because of this corruption, the status of the literati is high, so they will most enjoy it. The buildings at the foot of another mountain of Yihe Mountain are all the same.After Luo Yaoshu defended the southwest, he used some old officials from the Shang State, and the original things of these people were not confiscated.Later, some newly appointed civil servants tried to move to the vacant houses of Yihe Mountain. Luo Yao didn't ask, but within a few years, this mansion was full of people again.
The left avant-garde people can't afford to look down on civil servants, and they just sniff at this behavior.
The three of Fang Jie walked down the street and looked all the way. The memory of Nanyan took refuge in his memory.Nanyan's customs and customs are almost the same as those in Yongzhou, so it is inevitable that he will be familiar with it.
"The people here seem to have a lazy temperament."
Mu Xiaoyao pointed to the people fishing by the small river, and the people who got together under the big tree to play chess.
Fang Jie nodded: "It's only 20 years since Shang Ruo, and people's living habits have not changed much. Luo Yao deliberately ignored those civil servants, creating a false impression that he respected literati. The way is the most easy to kill people's fighting spirit. At the beginning, Shangguo fell from a strong country. Luo Yao only maintained this trend, let the literati only focus on relaxation and enjoyment. Yes, it ’s those literati who have always preached their integrity. "
"in fact……"
Fang Xie said while walking: "The most threatening dynasties in the past dynasties are not military men, but literati. Because literati are inflammatory and influential."
"For a village, there are 300 people, there is a martial artist and an old gentleman in the village. People will respect that old gentleman more. The warrior needs to kill more than three people to make these three hundred people afraid that he will listen to him. And it is not willing. And the old man can convince the villagers to obey just one sentence. "
Shen Qing fan said: "Do you mean that Luo Yao did both of them beautiful? Don't kill the literati to let them be respected, and these influential literati live well, so they will also promote a beautiful In life, the people will feel happy. Then Luo Yao will occasionally commit some incidents to kill a group of people, so that people can keep fear of him ... a good means. "
"Really good means."
Fang Xie said lightly while walking: "Because this method is so beautiful, I don't believe Luo Yao is loyal anyway. This is no longer a general mind, but ... an emperor mind."
...
...
When approaching the foot of Yihe Mountain in the south of the city, Fang Jie three people ate something on the roadside.After I was full, I started shopping more leisurely. From time to time, I walked into the roadside shops. After half an hour, Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingfan had more things in their hands.Rouge gouache, jewelry jade.
Naturally, they can't hide Luo Yao from shopping. It is estimated that it won't take long before they know what they bought and what they eat.
Jubaozhai is a shop specializing in antique treasures and is said to have a history of 200 years.Yongzhou City broke the national ownership and did not let this shop fall.As the southwest stabilized, Jubaozhai's business was getting better.Things that were not easy to circulate have become better because of the integration of North and South.
Fang Jie three of them walked into Jubaozhai, and walked around the room at will.
The boss of Jubaozhai is a man in his fifties, with goatee, and his eyes should not be very good. He always squints when looking at people.Fang Xie and they entered the door, and the clever boy immediately shouted that the noble guest arrived.The boss immediately walked out from behind the counter, greeted him politely and then ordered the little boy to have tea.
Tea is not always available to individuals, so it is necessary to look at people's eyesight when doing antiques.Although the boss's eyes are not so good, he has never seen things before and he is the same.
"This man, what do you want to see?"
He brought the tea up personally, leading Fang Xie to the place where he was waiting for guests.
Sandalwood tables and chairs, three-legged bronze censer on the table are also worth a lot of silver.Tea is also good tea, but it is not a flower tea that northerners are used to drinking.Northerners drink tea with a strong taste, while Jiangnanese prefer to taste a light tea aroma.
Fang Jie picked up the teacup and smelled it. He praised a good tea and smiled: "There is nothing specific to buy, just turn around here. If there is anything that looks good, I will accept it."
"Then do you have any special preferences?"
The boss asked with a smile.
"I am a northerner, but because I want to come to Yongzhou, there is something that I haven't had time to find in the north to make a workshop."
"doing things?"
The shopkeeper shook his head: "I'm so sorry, our stuff is genuine."
Fang Jie smiled and waved his hand: "No, it's not about making you fake, but about making a rare price. No one has done it before. I collected some good crystals a while ago. Can you find a craftsman with good craftsmanship? , Polish these crystals, I can write down the technical matters, you can just follow them, and the price is easy to discuss. "
"What are you going to do?"
The boss asked curiously.
Fang Xie made a comparison: "Glasses, you should know the clairvoyance, the things commonly used by the generals in the military, but they were bought from the merchants of Dongchu. The effect I want to do is similar to that of clairvoyance, but More elaborate. "
Fang Xie said it in detail, and the boss frowned and thought for a while: "The craftsman is not difficult to find, but you are asking for a little more detail. Make sure that it is transparent so that nothing is blocked in front of you. Can be done later. "
"Not urgent"
Fang Jie smiled: "I want to stay in Yongzhou for at least a month. If I can do it, I will let the crystal be sent over."
"The crystal thing is rare."
The boss had to re-examine Fang Jie a few times: "As far as I know, only the fiery country south of Meng Yuan is produced. It is said that there are but very rare Cangman Mountains. These things are basically in our Da Sui ..."
He stood up and respectfully gave the gift: "How do you call it?"
Fang Jie was stunned, and said that this person was thoughtful.
"We will come from Chang'an."
Hearing these words, the boss's face changed, but Fang Jie was about to stop saluting: "Don't salute, I don't want to be too troublesome ... In addition, there are other things to explain to you."
When he said this, Fang Xie dipped his fingers in tea and wrote a word Wu on the table.
No one in Yongzhou City knows, and no one can imagine that Jubaozhai was bought by the goods through the world many years ago, and now everyone in Jubaozhai is under Wu Yidao.The local people thought that the proprietor of Jubaozhai was too old to go back to the old country house to retreat and leave the business to the shopkeeper.As a matter of fact, as early as five or six years ago, the proprietor of Jubaozhai was replaced with a scattered gold.
Seeing this Wu Zi boss's face slightly changed: "What do you command?"
"It's nothing."
Fang Xie smiled and said: "The things you explain to you are done as soon as possible. The reason why you are looking for you is that you can't do anything that you can't do without goods and services. Also, my actions in Yongzhou have been affected Staring, it is impossible for my people to enter and leave Yongzhou at will. There is some news that you need to take out. "
"But at the command of the lord, the proprietor sent someone to explain it a long time ago. When the lord arrives in Yongzhou, Jubaozhai will do what he wants."
