Recently, the gossip crowd in Chang'an City seems to be like a festival.
First of all, all kinds of rumors and stories after the birth of the eldest son and the princess made them happy, and some guys even wrote some related metaphorical stories.
Although there is a certain risk in this, the leaders in the gossip party are not afraid of losing their heads, and they are also afraid of what Tingwei and Shaofu It's just that, in the next few days, the wind changed.
It wasn't for the anger of the court lieutenant, the internal history of the Yamen Ti rode out in all directions, chasing and inspecting the gossip party that discussed the scandal in the palace.
Rather, it was because of something that attracted people's attention even more.
In a house in an alley, several big men secretly hid in a room and drank.
Recently, Tingwei and Neishi have stepped up their inspections of liquor.
Therefore, the price of alcohol in Guanzhong has skyrocketed, in the past, a pot of wine could be bought for about ten yuan, but now, a pot of wine costs at least 100 yuan, and it is often impossible to buy.
It's funny to say.
The stricter the government's control over liquor, the more prosperous the liquor trade became.
Tingwei and the internal history are strictly investigated.
But the people who sell alcohol are all big people with deep backgrounds, at least they are also the nephews or relatives of these big people.
Since ancient times, the punishment is not as good as the doctor, and the courtesy is not as good as the common people.
It's not a crime of rebellion, selfish armor, plotting misdeeds, cursing the monarch's father, and attempting to subvert the society.
It is not a capital crime of great public indignation, bullying men and women, and even killing people on the street.
The sons, nephews, and relatives of the relatives of the liehou are just selling wine, and the court lieutenant and the internal history have nothing to do with them.
Therefore, in Chang'an City, selling and buying alcohol is now forbidden by the government on the surface, but in fact, as long as you are alert enough and willing to pay those jingle cuties for the liquids that can make you excited, you can buy those liquids that make your blood run at any time.
There is no doubt about these big men.
It's a group of people who don't drink or have fun.
Between the cups, the two or three jars of wine that had just been bought were already left in the jars, and the two roast chickens and a leg of mutton on the table were only bones.
After a full burp in satisfaction.
With the strength of the wine, one of the big black men said mysteriously to his friend, "Have you heard?"
"What did you hear?"
"The king of Jiangdu came to the Hajj this time, bringing a great surprise to His Majesty" The man dug his nostrils and said with a big grin: "There is an uncle of a certain brother who is on duty in the palace.
According to him, this surprise is extraordinary."
"What kind of surprise" everyone's curiosity was aroused at once.
The man opened the window and looked outside, then lowered his voice and said, "This matter, out of my mouth, into the ears of the king, do not let others know" Seeing this person's cautious appearance, everyone laughed and shouted, "Brother Tai, don't hang me and wait for your appetite."
Say it quickly, I'll promise never to spread it."
This guarantee is the most insincere guarantee, and basically, even in the current world, which is known for its trustworthiness, few people will take such empty words seriously.
But maybe that man is not showing off and uncomfortable, or maybe he is really uncomfortable, and if he doesn't share it with others, he won't be happy, or maybe he really trusts the friends sitting there.
Anyway, he quickly whispered, "You have heard of a place called Body Poison" Everyone shook their heads blankly.
I don't know why.
The man laughed proudly twice and said, "You don't know about poison, it's normal, you know."
That poison is thousands of miles away from China, and it takes half a year to reach it from Shu County, and even if you take the most convenient sea route, it will take two or three months."
After hearing this, everyone rolled their eyes.
A face full of disdain.
In China's traditional concept, the land of Yidi, a civilized desert, is either a fierce barbarian like the Xiongnu, or a poor mountain with no clothes like North Korea Moreover, the Chinese people have been the most practical since ancient times.
No one will do what is not beneficial, and even if you force them with a whip, they will not work hard and do things perfunctorily.
But if there is a benefit to be obtained, there is no need for the ruler to agitate or order, and everyone will flock to it.
For example, today's great water conservancy, extensive canal repair, the farmers in Guanzhong are crazy, on the construction site of Longshou Canal, every day the surrounding farmers, before dawn outside the construction site waiting to start, they are almost free of charge to help those contractors of Longshou Canal construction site to do a lot of auxiliary work, and even last summer when the heat is scorching, the workers on the construction site, as long as they rest, immediately have the three elders and squires of the surrounding villages to lead the people, send mung bean porridge and other things used to relieve the heat, There are even people who make special volunteers to sew and mend clothes and wash clothes for the workers who repair the canals and the officers and soldiers who supervise them.
It is said that after the opening of the Longshou Canal for water supply, that scene, the legendary Qi food pot is nothing more than that.
Many old people said that the scene near Longshou Canal reminded them of the scene when Great Qin unified the Six Kingdoms, and that the army that returned from Qin's victory was also embraced, worshipped, and supported by the people of Guanzhong.
These men, although they don't understand any big truths, can still do it if they simply seek good fortune and avoid evil.
Therefore, as soon as I heard that the body poison was so far away, no one was interested in it immediately.
Someone said: "Go Shu County, go crazy, go from Chang'an to Shu County, all the way over the mountains and mountains, a little careless, you have to bury the canyon and I heard that from the west of Shu County, there are mountains and mountains, dense jungles, beasts and barbarians haunted period, one accidentally died" Another humanitarian: "According to a certain knowledge of the sea route, it is that the first emperor sent Xu Fu to take three thousand boys and girls to the sea to find immortals, the fleet is innumerable, and there are thousands of Great Qin elite escorts, but after the result, there is no news, it is said that he was buried in the sea, the first emperor's fleet was buried in the sea, and ordinary people went to sea to find death."

"Besides, what's the benefit of that body poison, is it possible that there is an elixir, even if there is one, it will be our turn" and some people scoffed.
"Don't say it," the black man said with a smile: "According to the uncle of the elder brother of a certain family, there is a mysterious place in the poisonous country, and the legend is hidden in the deep mountains of the poisonous country, called the Fountain of Youth, and it is said that the King of Chiyou once went to the body poison, and the body poison still has the legend of the King of Chiyou, it is said that the King of Chiyou got the fountain of immortality in the body poison and drank the fountain of immortality.
Only then did he have the divine power that could compete with the Yellow Emperor, and the immortal body, otherwise, you would have thought.
Why did the Yellow Emperor dismember the body of King Chiyou and suppress it under the famous mountains and rivers, it was not because he was afraid that King Chiyou would be resurrected after his death" After such a big bomb was thrown, everyone immediately came to the spirit.
King Chiyou This is the master of the army In the traditional mythological system of the Han family, it is second only to Emperor Taiyi.
The powerful gods such as the four heavenly emperors of white, red, green, yellow and black, as well as the yin lord and the yang lord and the landlord, are the totems and sacrificial objects of all warriors, and are the gods of war believed in by the Han family Now I heard that the soldier master actually drank the spring water of the Fountain of Youth, so that he had such inhuman power and superhuman vitality, and even the ancestor Yellow Emperor could only choose to suppress his body and limbs separately, rather than destroy them.
Who doesn't have a bit of fantasy spirit, and who doesn't want to be a superhero.
The reason why Lu Gong Xiang Yu can get widespread sympathy and nostalgia from the public is not that what he did back then is far beyond ordinary people Worshipping heroes and the strong is the instinct of all nations.
And everyone has a heroic dream in their hearts.
Even among the humblest slaves and the lowliest Sikong Chengdan, there are heroes.
And in the land of China, there will never be a shortage of heroes who start from the beginning.
Shun is in the acres, Fu Shuo is lifted between the plates, the rubber is lifted in the fish and salt, Guan Yiwu is raised in the Shi, Sun Shu Ao is raised in the sea, and Baili Xi is held in the city.
Emperor Taizu Gao is even more of a pavilion long.
Living in the Ninth Five-Year Plan, he created the Han Society.
It's just that the so-called fantasy is also a heat wave.
For most people.
Even if there is really a fountain of immortality in the body poison, so what Anyway, it's not your turn, and it's just an after-dinner conversation, maybe in the future, when you are old, when you are dying, you can hear the story on the wine table today.
Tell it to your children and grandchildren.
That's all.
However, the black man didn't intend to let everyone go like this, he lowered his voice, and continued: "Gentlemen, the so-called Fountain of Youth, the poison in the body is only a legend, what is it that really shocked my brother's uncle?"
The man stood up, glanced at the crowd, took a deep breath, clenched his fists and said, "It's the wealth of that poisonous place."
"The five grains of the body poison are ripe four times a year, it is said that the people of the body poison do not need to cultivate at all, as long as the seeds are sown, and they can harvest corn and rice in two months, and the body is poisoned all year round, the wind and rain are smooth, there are almost no disasters, the local people, it is said that each person's life is to eat and sleep, play fine king, drink and gamble and play women, tsk tsk" "What" everyone took a deep breath, almost in disbelief.
There really is such a beautiful and rich place in this world Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, I'm not sure.
For the Chinese people, the world they live in is basically home and village, and the world of merchants and officials is broader, but at most it is within one county and one country.
Even the most knowledgeable people in the world may know the world as a corner, thousands of miles at most, and no matter how far away, at most they only have a general impression.
Even though the Ma Tan family, a well-respected Taishi company in Shiqu Pavilion, is known as the historian of the past dynasties and has traveled all over the mountains and rivers of Kyushu, he does not dare to say how much he knows about the world.
Most people, they only know the world they know, and the world outside their own knowledge is basically a kind of Chinese peculiar to believe that there is something or not.
Therefore, as soon as Journey to the West came out in later generations, everyone automatically turned the road from the Western Regions to the body poison into a place where demons were rampant and extremely dangerous.
And now, after everyone heard about the poison, although they beat the drum in their hearts and didn't believe it, they couldn't deny it, and even some people already believed in their hearts that there was indeed such a place.
After all, everyone has a hard time.
Ordinary people's lives revolve around the land for a year.
The harvest once a year is more related to the livelihood and life and death of the whole family.
The poisonous grains are ripe four times a year, which seems very unreasonable, but the poisonous man eats and sleeps every day, drinks and gambles to play the life of a woman, but it inevitably makes everyone think about it.
Who wouldn't want to live in such an almost heavenly world For a while, everyone only heard the sound of their own swallowing saliva and the sound of their heartbeat.
After a long time, someone cautiously asked: "In such a rich place, that poison must be a big country, and the soldiers are strong and strong."
It must be a foreign power, just like the Huns." "" The strong black man quenched his saliva and said, "Strong fart, as far as my brother's uncle knows, it is said."
Ten years ago, there was a tribe that called itself the Yue Clan, and with 3,000 soldiers and horses, he attacked the body poison, and even broke the body poison 17 countries, crisscrossing thousands of miles. took hundreds of thousands of catties of gold and a population of more than 100,000, but after the Yueshi people left, the poisonous people were still the same, lying in the sun and sleeping, eating and sleeping and beating fine gentlemen, drinking, gambling and playing with women" "It is said that the people who cover the poisoned land do not need any labor at all, and the seeds are sown in the ground, and when the time comes, they go to reap them.
There is food, there is no money, dig in the ground casually, you can dig out the gold and jade, thirsty, pick the fruit on the tree to quench your thirst, Mencius once said: Born in sorrow and die in peace, born in peace, die in sorrow, poison and death are in peace.
It is said that in the country of the Nayue clan, there are often nobles, bringing dozens of people.
You don't even need a weapon, you can enter the poisonous country, show off your might, and there will be poisonous officials, offering exquisite gold, women and wealth, just hoping that the people of the Yue clan can leave" Everyone listened.
They looked at each other.
Suddenly, a person screamed and beat his chest: "Why is the body poison so far away from my China?"
Suddenly, everyone agreed.
Just listening to what the black strong man said, everyone only felt that their hearts were surging, and they couldn't help themselves.
How could such a rich land, such a country of abundance, be so far away from China?

And there are so many difficulties and obstacles on the road If it was only a thousand miles, everyone gritted their teeth and walked over.
But so far away, separated by lofty mountains and oceans, everyone is a little afraid.
This is because those who drink here belong to the most adventurous group of the Han people: rangers.
If ordinary people hear this, I'm afraid they should do something.
And in the midst of the mourning, a voice suddenly sounded: "Actually, the body is poisonous, and it is not so difficult to walk."
Everyone looked, but it was the strong black man who was talking.
"How?"
someone immediately asked.
"It is said that in addition to going west from Shu County, or by sea, there is also a road that can lead to the body poison" The black strong man said with a smile: "Out of the Great Wall, from the territory of the Huns, through the Western Regions, you can reach the body poison, it is said that the Yueshi people are the tribes living outside the Western Regions, it is said that these Yueshi people were driven to where by the Huns" "And this matter," the crowd immediately began to discuss.
Before, there was no comparison, and naturally it was not very clear whether the so-called poisonous people were the five scum of the war, or the combat effectiveness of the Yue's people was too explosive But now, with such an intuitive comparison of the Huns, everyone is very clear.
The Han family and the Xiongnu have just been facing each other not once or twice.
A few years ago, when the first emperor ascended the throne, the right Xian King of the Xiongnu broke through the invasion with great momentum, at that time, the all-out war was imminent, and there were many people sitting there, and there was no lack of retired soldiers who had just passed the Xiongnu at that time.
The combat effectiveness of the Huns, everyone knows in their hearts, they are the so-called condor archers among the Huns, and their strength is about the same as the team rate in the Han army, that is, the archery shooting is more accurate.
It's not that the Han army can't defeat the Huns, it's just that the Han army is mainly infantry and can't keep up with the mobility of the Hun cavalry.
Basically, the current combat effectiveness of the Han and Xiongnu armies is probably between the two middles.
The Huns themselves admit this matter, otherwise, why would they marry a princess and marry The common people choose their own sons-in-law, and they all talk about the right family, not to mention the country In the past, the Han family could only marry the daughter of the clan and give money in exchange for peace But now, the Huns took the initiative to marry their daughters and sign a peace treaty.
Although everyone doesn't understand diplomacy, they all know a simple truth: if you can't beat someone, that person doesn't need any affinity, just grab it.
Since, the so-called Yueshi people, with only 3,000 people, swept thousands of miles across the Seventeen Kingdoms, and the Huns drove the Yueshi people to the Western Regions like chickens.
Although everyone is not good at math, they still know the simple conversion.
In other words, the combat effectiveness of the Han army is probably equal to that of the Xiongnu army, and the Xiongnu army is larger than the Yueshi people, and the Yueshi people are far superior to the poisonous people.
Unconsciously, in everyone's minds, the image of the Xiongnu suddenly became extremely dazzling, and even many people's perception of the Xiongnu fell to a low point all of a sudden.
Although, the image of the Huns has never been higher.
But it's not the same as before.
In the past, everyone hated the Xiongnu because the Xiongnu invaded the Han land and tortured and killed the Han people, and everyone hated the same enemy.
Defend the country.
However, now, the Xiongnu have become a roadblock to prevent everyone from going to the poisonous paradise.
Cutting off people's financial routes, such as killing parents, killing parents.
Implacable "Fuck the Hun barbarians," someone slammed the table and scolded viciously.
"My brother is now at the age of the first master, my family was still thinking, whether to delay for two years, and then go to the army, now it seems that my brother is better to enlist in the army earlier, enlist earlier, learn to fight, in the future.
As far as my brother and I can fight side by side and defeat the Huns," someone else said loudly.
The Han system is a soldier for all people, and all Shifu men have the obligation to serve in the military, and they cannot be avoided, even the children of the prince's relatives.
However, the people are hesitant to become soldiers, after all, they lose a middle-aged male all of a sudden.
It is a huge loss for any civilian family, even a small and medium-sized landlord's home.
Unless the Son of Heaven issues an edict to mobilize, the people know that there is a war and the time has come to make meritorious contributions. will actively participate.
Otherwise, it can be delayed as long as it can.
Of course, some people were puzzled and asked the black man: "The body poison is so far away from China, how did the news of this body poison reach the palace?"
Everyone also turned their curious eyes to the black man.
The black man smiled.
Said: "Didn't I say that I was the king of Jiangdu" He said mysteriously: "The subordinates of the king of Jiangdu accidentally bought an exotic treasure and dedicated it to the king of Jiangdu, and the king of Jiangdu dedicated it to His Majesty, His Majesty was curious, but he wrote to ask, it happened that the exotic merchant who bought the treasure and the king of Jiangdu was stranded in Jiangdu, so the Son of Heaven ordered the king of Jiangdu to bring his face to the saint, these things were said by the foreign merchant, and the merchant came to poison himself, and sold the treasures of the country for the king of a certain country in exchange for my Chinese silk."
"Moreover, it is said that Mrs.
Xia has also confirmed that there is indeed such a tribe as the Yue Clan, and outside the Western Regions, there is indeed such a place as body poison."
Everyone suddenly sighed, Mrs.
Xia is the Xiongnu princess who married the Son of Heaven, if this lady has confirmed it, then this matter is almost a real thing This explanation is reasonable, and everyone is still very confident in Chinese silk.
Only the black strong man laughed in his heart: "My mission is really smooth, and now more than 90 people have been agitated, only a few are missing, and the goal of 100 people has been reached, and at that time, he can be promoted to embroidered guards, and from then on he will become the eagle dog of the court, the minions of the Son of Heaven, and have an official body."
This person is the peripheral member of the embroidered guard.

Through the drama Meng and others, Xiuyiwei has taken root widely in the three religions and nine streams of Chang'an City, and has developed countless eyeliner.
These eyeliners are usually paid to do things, not members of the embroidered clothes.
However, according to the regulations, these peripheral members, as long as they complete certain prescribed tasks, have the opportunity to be absorbed into the embroidered guards, and from then on become the registered officials of the imperial court, and they are directly subordinate to the Son of Heaven, and belong to the minions and hounds of the Son of Heaven.
This identity has a great attraction to the three religions and nine streams in Chang'an City.
What's more, there are also regulations for embroidery guards, once absorbed, registered, and become embroidered guards, then except for the crimes of great rebellion, unfilial piety, and Brun, other crimes will be emptied and will not be pursued.
Therefore, many rangers, criminal absconding, and incognito fugitives with criminal cases have been attracted by the embroidered guards and become their peripheral members, and many people who are like black and strong men are dreaming of completely whitewashing the past, regaining their lives, and becoming the eagle dog of the imperial court.
The successful role models of Ju Meng and others are the motivation that motivates them to work hard and work hard.
At the same time, many, countless characters like this black strong man are tirelessly telling similar stories to different groups of people in various places in Chang'an City.
These people, before this, have been trained for a period of time, and the relevant stories are also familiar with the rolling melons, and they are also clear about what kind of people they should say.
For the common people, they focused on describing the wealth of the poisonous body and the comfortable daily life of the poisonous people.
To the merchants, they spoke of the riches of their poisonous properties and the inexhaustibility of their wealth.
To the soldiers, they described the cowardice and vulnerability of the poisoned army, as well as the wealth gained by the Yueshi after their victory.
For example, a certain Yue's soldier, who was poor and had only one clothes left, went to poison himself, actually used gold chopsticks and white jade utensils, became a nobleman, and married the daughter of a great nobleman in Yue's country.
As for the aristocracy, these people either described the mystery and power of the Fountain of Youth, or the meekness and obedience of the local people.
In their words, the poisonous people almost respond to their nobles and officials, and never complain.
This immediately made many nobles feel overjoyed and unable to help themselves.
As a result, the rumors about body poison and the related different story versions instantly replaced the original palace affairs and became the hottest and hottest topic in Chang'an City.
Almost even three-year-old children know that there is a place called body poison, rich and good, it is simply a paradise on earth t1706231537:
