Three Kingdoms

  Chapter 1142 Everyone is a businessman

several days ago.

Although it is said that Han Sui is in command of these Qiang people in name, he does not have direct jurisdiction, and it is impossible to directly govern them. Therefore, these Qiang people live scattered according to tribes, and they are not concentrated in one place. After all, if they are all gathered together If it is not, I am afraid that even the grass roots on the ground will be dug out and eaten by large and small animals in a few days.

   A person's reputation, no matter how prestigious and prestigious it is, will continue to decay over time.

Li Ru can't escape such a law of nature, but now these Qiang people still remember a little bit in their minds, so when Jiang Jiong came out under the banner of Li Ru, these Qiang people would give back some points face…

  Jiang Jiong stood in front of Riwoji, the leader of Baima Qiang, bowed his hands slightly, and saluted.

   Although Jiang Jiong’s name is Jiong, he doesn’t look like Jiong at all. His body is slender and strong. There is even a shallow dimple on the left side of his face. When he smiles, he looks even more personable and charming.

Baima Qiang was called Bailong Qiang at the earliest time, the reason is very simple, just because Baima Qiang was nomadic in the waters near Bailong River, but because of the name Bailong, it inevitably meant that it was against the Han Dynasty. After all, Liu Bang was beheading Bailong back then. The incident started, so later on, no matter whether it was the Han Dynasty government or Baima Qiang himself, it was gradually changed to Baima Qiang, not because this Qiang had the same hobby as Gongsun Zan, only playing with white horses...

Riwoki may be of Caucasian descent, with curly, slightly brown hair, a high nose bridge, and slender eyebrows. According to the concept of later generations, he can be regarded as a handsome man, but according to the concept of the Han Dynasty, Riwoki is ugly. .

   "Aha, I didn't expect there to be someone like you under Baiyi Li..." Ziwoji laughed, and said in a slightly weird voice, "...I always thought that there were only people like General Niu..."

Jiang Jiong smiled and said: "Your memory is wrong, General Niu does not belong to a certain lord... What's more, under a certain lord, there are too many shallow people like me, I am just a messenger Talent is nothing but nothing to worry about..."

  Riwoji laughed twice, why didn't he know that Niu Fu is Dong Zhuo's person, but he just used Niu Fu to talk about things, that is, even a character like Dong Zhuo has failed, so what's the use of Li Ru coming forward now?

Jiang Jiong is not stupid either, and he naturally knows what Riwoji said, so he separates Li Ru and Dong Zhuo, and also expresses that Li Ru's subordinates are actually not weak, and even a person like him is not weak. Just as a messenger...

  Ziwoji was noncommittal, and then asked with something to say: "...Baiyi Li...hehe, can Baiyi Li still look the same now? After all, I haven't seen him for a long time..."

  When Li Ru was at Dong Zhuo's place, he also fought in Xiliang. Most of the time he wore white clothes, so he also got this title.

   It's just that Baiyi Li is just an individual name. Putting it here is not a respectful way of addressing it. After all, Dong Zhuo fell, and Li Ru, as his subordinate, was naturally not taken much by Riwoji and others. If it weren't for some things before, Riwoji would not even be able to call him Baiyi Li.

"A lot of nobles are paying attention. Your lord is in good health now, and everything is fine..." Jiang Jiong seemed to have not heard it, and smiled and said, "A few days ago, General Zhengxi also had an envoy here Ask a certain Patriarch..."

   "Oh?" Ziwoki frowned slightly, then laughed heartily, and said, "Ahaha, look, the distinguished guest is here, so I'm just busy talking... Haha, come here, prepare a banquet..."

  After drinking for three rounds, Jiang Jiong cupped his hands and said: "Your Honor, this time I am here, one is to visit an old friend under the order of a certain master...These two are also to discuss some business..."

   "Oh? Talk about business?" Zhiwoki raised his eyebrows.

"That's right. Although a certain lord is not short of food, clothing, and manpower, he still has to think about the future..." Jiang Jiong said slowly, "...It's like the old saying that if you hold a golden mountain in your hand, you will still be empty if you sit and eat... No matter what No matter what, you have to have some ways to get money, so you won't panic in your heart, I wonder what the nobleman thinks?"

   "Of course, of course..." Ziwoki said with a smile, "I don't know what kind of business Baiyi Li wants to do?"

   Business, who doesn't like it? Of course, only those with sweetness are called business. If Bai Yili wants to start a business, he naturally wants those sweetness to come out, otherwise, who would want to?

  Jiang Jiong clapped his hands, asked someone to offer the samples he had brought, and said, "Please have a look."

   A long box.

   A round box.

  Ziwoji glanced at Jiang Jiong, Jiang Jiong smiled slightly and stretched out his hand to signal.

Zhiwoji first opened the smaller round box, first he was a little puzzled, then his face was full of surprise, he immediately put the round box under his nose and smelled it, then involuntarily stretched out a finger, and touched it in the round box. There were some white crystal particles sticking to it, and it was sent straight to the mouth...

   "Oh..." Zhiwoki looked intoxicated.

  If it is seen by people of later generations, Zhiwoji's expression at the moment is the same as that of those addicts who took a bite, even the expression of satisfaction and joy on his face is no different.

But in fact, in the Han Dynasty, Fei Qian did not have the raw materials to produce the terrible artificial plague of later generations. This box of white crystals is just a box of purified sugar. Compared with the black candies that were common in the Han Dynasty, it is much whiter...

  Sugar may be the earliest thing engraved in human genes that can please the nerves. Although it is not a necessity for life, no matter men, women, young or old, they all like it very much, and even reveal a deep love from the bottom of their bones. Even in later generations, it still takes a lot of willpower to resist the attraction of sweets.

  When people eat sweets, the dopamine neurons in the brain will be activated, and then it will release a chemical called opioid, which is similar to morphine. When the brain feels the excitement brought by this substance, it will have more desire for it, so people will want to eat sweets again, just to enjoy the feeling of this moment.

From another point of view, human beings, in ancient times, were still primitive societies, or even earlier stages, when they were only Homo sapiens, because they did not master fire, could not cook cooked food, and there was a shortage of food, they could provide energy for Homo sapiens There are very few high-calorie sweets, and it can be said that they are basically none.

  At that time, the only common sugar was the fructose produced when the fruit was ripe...

Therefore, under such circumstances, whenever Homo sapiens searched for such plants and found these overripe fruits, the first choice was not to pick them, pack them and transport them to the tribe, but to obey the instinctive reaction of the body and choose to eat them first. . Only after I can't eat anymore will I pick the largest amount I can carry and bring it back.

Because once the fruit is ripe, whether it is free falling, or other birds and beasts, maybe after he or she leaves, there will be no second chance to enjoy this natural sweet food. Calorific food, but whenever you encounter it, you will immediately eat the habit that you can't eat. Just like this once or twice, it is deeply engraved into the DNA of human beings...

Homo sapiens in ancient times would not have any obesity problems, nor would they have the consequences of eating too much sugar to cause poor health, because at that time, they needed to avoid the pursuit of large prey, and they had to run faster and more flexibly. Need more calories; and relatively speaking, because of food shortage, you will not eat one type of food, but a variety of omnivores, and there will be no health problems caused by unbalanced food and high calorie intake ;At the same time, they need to be constantly relocated in the process of survival. If they move slowly due to health problems such as obesity, then these people are destined to be abandoned by the tribe...

  The living habits of modern people in later generations are destined to have problems with their health, because the living habits of modern people and ancient people are completely different, but DNA inheritance has not changed much. How can there be no obesity and no problems?

Zhiwoji resisted the idea of ​​taking another bite, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and said: "Not bad, not bad! Where is this produced, it is so delicate..." Although Feiqian only purified it once or twice, and mixed with the process of filtering, The color of the sugar has faded a little, but there is still some distance from the pure white sugar of later generations, but in the Han Dynasty, such crystals can be regarded as quite attractive.

  Jiang Jiong smiled, and didn't answer Zhiwoji's words directly, but pretended to be a joke, and then said: "The nobleman hasn't read the other copy yet..."

  Zywaki was stunned for a moment, then laughed, and gently put the round box aside, and then took the long box. Knowing that I was acting a little eager, Jiang Jiong could see it, but there was no way to control it, the only thing I could do was to suppress the second item, so as to save some...

  However, when Ziwoki opened the long box, he still couldn't hold back and blurted out:

   "Good knife!"

  Under the sunlight, the blade is bright, and the forged lines are like auspicious clouds, covering the entire blade, shining with dazzling brilliance.

   "Do you want to try, sir?" Jiang Jiong said with a calm face.

   "Can you try it?" Zhiwoji held the long knife, praised it first, and then said, "The knife is really good, but it's too thin, why don't you cut it a few times and it will break..."

  Jiang Jiong just stretched out his hand to signal, smiled and did not answer.

  Zhiwoki rolled his eyes, but he was not angry, and waved to the guard standing on the side, and then asked him to draw his waist knife...

  The weapons used by Zhiwoji's personal guards are naturally better than those of ordinary Qiang people. When the guards pulled out their swords, Zhiwoji was not polite, so he shook his hands and chopped off fiercely!

   There was a golden and iron symphony of "铛", which lasted unnoticed, and the ordinary sword in the guard's hand had been broken into two pieces, half of which was still in his hand, and the other half had already fallen to the ground.

   "Good knife!"

  Zhiwoki couldn't help shouting loudly, and then carefully inspected the sharpness of the saber in his hand, saw a small gap in the middle, and sighed, "Oops...Knocked a bit...Good knife, really good knife..."

  Ziwoji held the long knife in his hand, and slashed left and right a few times. At first, he disliked the weakness and the back of the knife was a little thin, but now he became full of joy and advantage.

A ten-pound saber can slash a hundred times, while holding an eight-pound saber can cut more than a hundred times. Naturally, Riwoki understands this truth, but the reason why he used a heavier saber before is that It's just because the heavy weapon has some advantages after all, but this advantage disappears in front of such a sharp sword.

   "My lord, do you think these two businesses can be done?" Jiang Jiong asked with a smile.

  Waving the knife, Zhiwoji didn't answer immediately, his eyes rolled a few times quickly, and then he said: "Good things, they are all good things, but if they are too expensive, we can't afford them..."

  Jiang Jiong laughed and said, "Don't worry, my lord, the price is naturally negotiable... But, there is something that you may want to know first..."

   "What is it?" Zhiwoji asked.

   "These things are all produced by General Zhengxi..." Jiang Jiong pointed with his finger, and then said, "...But, it is said that the nobleman is going to fight General Zhengxi now?"

   "...Who...who said it? No?" Zhiwoki categorically denied.

"It's true?" Jiang Jiong didn't chase after him, but said, "It's fine if there is no one, if there is, hehe... just now the nobleman asked a certain lord how he is now...hehe, a certain lord is probably already in the golden city at this moment Drinking..."

   "Golden City?!" Ziwoki's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened immediately.

Jincheng is Han Sui's lair, so Riwoji is clear about this matter. Hearing that Li Ru has arrived in Jincheng, it is impossible for him to go to Jincheng to drink and drink as Jiang Jiong said. old nest!

  Zivokki stopped talking for a moment, his eyeballs flicked from side to side.

"Ah...hehe..." After a while, Ziwoji blinked and said with a little embarrassment, "Jincheng's wine is not bad, um, not bad... Bai...well, the one you chose is naturally good... So, your The Lord now... has defected to General Zhengxi?"

"Isn't it all business... Haha..." Jiang Jiong said with a smile, "Everyone is a businessman... It's like having such a sweet icing here, is it really difficult to suffer every day? Even if you eat it alone , can’t all the family eat it, can’t eat it for a while, can’t it be eaten forever? How? Is your nobleman interested in this business?”

  Ziwoji was stunned for a moment, then laughed and said: "That's right! Businessmen, everyone is a businessman! If you have a good business, you can't push it away, right? Hahaha..."
