Chapter 344 Crystal Glasses

After the mission, Fang Jie faced an endless general meal. The left-wing generals, the officials of Pingshangdao, took turns to battle. Today, in the drunk Xianlou tomorrow, in Yonghe Tower, the famous restaurant in Yongzhou City is only half. Almost every month, Ji Fangjie.

The customs in the southwest are similar to those in the south, but the flavors of the dishes are much different. Jianghuai cuisine pays attention to a light, pure element pursues the realm of a dish like a landscape. Southwestern food is very heavy, and the taste is sweet and fragrant. It has some meaning from previous Sichuan cuisine, so Fang Jie didn't feel awkward at all, but liked it very much. In the past life, any small restaurant on the roadside can cook a few Sichuan dishes. It is not wrong to put aside the authentic and authentic name anyway.

For half a month, she had been entertaining. Fang Xie was afraid that her fat would come out, so she added half an hour to her cultivation time every morning.

Later, he was really unable to carry the Jiuchi Roulin's offensive, and Fang Jie pushed all the invitations today on the grounds of physical discomfort, with Shen Fan and Mu Xiaoyao planning to visit Yongzhou City. Speaking of Yongzhou, it has been more than ten days, and I really haven't taken a good look at this magnificent southwestern city.

Compared to Chang'an's founder, the buildings in Yongzhou are slightly scattered. The squares built in Chang'an City are as neat as knife-cut tofu pieces, but everything seems to be random here. Relatively speaking, Fang Jie prefers this kind of messy city.

Chang'an City is so large, if you walk on the street without looking at the signs on the two sides of the road, you will always walk on the same street. There are mountains and rivers in Yongzhou City. Officials still seem to retain the legacy of the Shang Dynasty. They do not like living in trouble and live in the mansion at the foot of Yihe Mountain in Yongzhou City. In Chang'an City, officials are proud to live near the Taiji Temple, while in the Shang Dynasty, officials were proud to live far away from the palace.

The latter seems a bit indifferent to fame and fortune, in fact, it is more luxurious. Yihe Mountain is not big, and should be regarded as a branch of Cangman Mountain in principle. Yihe Mountain is actually two mountain packs. In the middle, there are low slopes that are 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 one was in the south of the city, occupied by officials.

The officials of the Shang State were corrupted to the point that no one had put their minds on government affairs. A group of officials gathered together to enjoy the poetry. Even in the upward dynasty, the Emperor Shang Guo often sat on a dragon chair to make a pair. The officials below would have great rewards if they first came out and neatly laid out the lower leagues.

In a dynasty for hundreds of years, it was shocking to emphasize the importance of writing lightly. When Nan Chen still existed, the Shang people still had blood in their bones. The Chen team was defeated by the Shang army in several offensives. At the most brilliant time, the Shang army counterattacked and invaded Chen Guo's territory for 1,700 miles, only two hundred miles away from Chen Guo's Xijing Laoyang City.

It was also after that war that the civil servants felt that they could not revive the status of the generals so as to overwhelm them in the court, so they jointly fabricated the evidence and framed more than a dozen generals trying to join forces to rebel. The emperor of Shang Dynasty was furious. Kill those generals who came back with military success. The civilians clapped their hands and celebrated, praising the emperor as an emperor. Since then, the style of the Shang Dynasty has become even better, and the general's low status has plummeted.

This is why, when the Sui Dynasty's army attacked the Shang State, it was so invincible. So that when left avant-garde general Luo Yao took 20,000 tired divisions outside Yongzhou City, the more than 100,000 businessmen who guarded Yongzhou opened the door without surrendering without surrendering.

The garrison was more than 100,000, the siege side was only 20,000 or tired, and the victorious side was actually the latter ... This had the biggest blood relationship with the commercial army without soldiers. The Shang Dynasty imperial family did not trust military commanders and only trusted civil servants, so the people who later took charge of the military turned out to be a group of college scholars who could chant poetry.

Literati leading soldiers is not terrible. What is terrible is that literati leading soldiers who only write poems.

Because of this corruption, the status of literati is high, so they will enjoy the most beautiful official residences at the foot of Yihe Mountain. After Luo Yaozhang defended the southwest, he used some of the old officials of the Shang State. None of these people's originals were confiscated. Later, some of the newly appointed civil servants tentatively moved to those vacant homes in Yiheshan. Luo Yao didn't bother to ask. In a few years, this official home was full again.

People on the left edge can't afford to look at the civil servants, and they just scoff at such behavior.

The three Fang Xie walked along the street and looked all the way, remembering the days when Nan Yan took refuge, they couldn't help but popped out of their minds. Nanyan's local customs are almost the same as those in Yongzhou, so it is inevitable to have some familiarity in her heart.

"People here seem to have a lazy temperament."

Mu Xiaoyao pointed to the people fishing near the river, and to the people who played together under the big tree.

Fang Xie nodded: "It's only been more than 20 years since Shang Ming died. People's living habits haven't changed much. Luo Yao deliberately ignored those officials and created an illusion that he respected the literati. In fact, this kind of captive The method is the easiest to kill people's fighting spirit. At that time, the Shang State did not fall from a strong country. Luo Yao just maintained this trend, letting the literati only care about relaxation and enjoyment. So in the past 20 years, he first recognized himself as a Sui Instead, they are literati who have always preached their integrity. "

"in fact……"

Fang Xie said as he walked: "The dynasties of the dynasties that threatened the country were not warriors, but literati. Because literati are seditious and influential."

"For a village, there are three hundred people. There is a warrior and an old gentleman in the village, and people will respect that old gentleman more. The warrior needs to kill three or more people to make these three hundred people afraid of him listening to him. And it is not yet willing. And the old gentleman can convince the villagers to obey with just one word. "

Shen Qingfan said, "Do you mean, isn't Luo Yao doing both hands beautifully? Don't kill the literati to make them respectful and superior. These influential literati live well, so they will also promote a beautiful People will then feel happy after living. Then Luo Yao will create incidents from time to time to kill a group of people and keep people afraid of him ... good means. "

"Really good."

Fang Xie said gently as he walked: "Because this method is too beautiful, I don't believe Luo Yao's loyalty anyway. This is no longer the general's mind surgery, but ... the emperor's mind surgery."

...

...

When walking to the south of Yihe Mountain, Fang Jie trio ate something on the roadside. After eating, I started shopping more leisurely. I walked into the shops on the side of the road from time to time. After half an hour, Mu Xiaoyao and Shen Qingfan had a lot of things in their hands. Rouge gouache, jewelry jade.

Naturally, they couldn't hide Luo Yao's shopping. It is estimated that it won't take long for them to know what they bought and eat.

Jubaozhai is a shop specializing in antique treasures. It is said that it has a history of 200 years. Yongzhou City broke the country and changed hands, and did not let this shop down. As the southwest stabilizes, Jubaozhai's business is getting better and better. Things that were originally difficult to circulate have become better because of the integration of North and South.

The three of them went into Jubaozhai, and walked around the house at will.

The owner of Jubaozhai is a man in his fifties who has a goatee. His eyes should not be very good. He always squints when looking at people. As soon as they resolved to enter the door, the clever guy shouted a distinguished guest immediately. The boss immediately walked out from behind the counter, greeted him politely, and ordered the guy to have tea.

Tea is not something that people come to casually. When looking at things in antiques, you have to have more eyesight. Although the boss's eyes are not very good, but he has never walked through the things.

"What do you want to see, grandpa?"

He brought the tea personally and led Fang Jie to the place where they were 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 not the scented tea that northerners are used to drinking. Northerners drink tea with a strong taste, while Jiangnanese prefer a light tea fragrance.

Fang Xie picked up the tea cup and smelled it. He praised a good tea and laughed: "There is nothing specific to buy, so I just go around here, and if there is something I like, I accept it."

"What do you have in particular?"

The boss asked with a smile.

"I am a northerner, but because I want to come to Yongzhou, there is something I can't find in a workshop in the north to make it."

"doing things?"

The shopkeeper shook his head: "I'm so sorry, our stuff is genuine."

Fang Jie smiled and waved his hand: "No, not to make you cheat, but to make a fancy price, something no one has done before. I collected a few good crystals a while ago, can you find a good craftsman? , Polish these pieces of crystal, I can write about the craftsmanship, you can do it, and the price is also negotiable. "

"What are you going to do?"

The boss asked curiously.

Fang Jie made a comparison: "Eyeglasses, you should know the clairvoyance, the generals in the army, but they are all bought from Dongchu merchants. I want to do this is similar to the clairvoyance, but to More refined. "

Fang Xie said it in detail, and the boss frowned and thought for a while: "The craftsman is not difficult to find, but you have asked for a little bit more detail. It must be as transparent as not blocking anything in front of you. This is a delicate job, not a short time. I can do it in a while. "

"Not urgent"

Fang Xie smiled: "I will stay in Yongzhou for at least one month. If I can do it, I will send the crystal back."

"Crystal is rare."

The boss had to re-examine Fang Xie a few times: "As far as I know, only the fiery kingdom south of Meng Yuan is produced. It is said that it is also found in Cangman Mountain, but it is very rare. These things are basically in our Da Sui ..."

He stood up, respectfully saluting, "What's your name, Lord?"

Fang Xie said for a moment, and said that this person was careful.

"I'll do it, come from Chang'an."

Hearing these words changed the face of the boss ~ www.wuxiaspot.com ~ but was about to salute but was stopped by Fang Jie: "Don't salute, I don't want to be too troublesome ... In addition, there are other things to explain to you."

When saying this, Fang Jie dipped his finger in tea and wrote a Wu character on the table.

No one in Yongzhou knows it, and no one can think of it. Jubaozhai was bought by Cargo Connect for many years ago. Now everyone in Jubaozhai is under the authority of Wu Yidao. The locals thought that the proprietor of Jubaozhai was too old to return to his old house in the country to rest and left the business to this shopkeeper. In fact, as early as five or six years ago, the proprietor of Jubaozhai was replaced with casual gold.

Seeing this Wuzi boss's face slightly changed: "What's your order?"

"It's nothing."

Fang Jie smiled: "Tell you what you want to do as soon as possible. The reason why I find you is to know what you can't do without the goods that can't be sold. The other thing is that I've been taken by everyone in Yongzhou. Staring, my people ca n’t go in and out of Yongzhou at will. Some news needs you to take them out. ”

"But according to the command of the master, the proprietor sent an account to him a long time ago. When the master arrives in Yongzhou, Jubaozhai will definitely obey."
