{Thank you for the monthly pass of your friend Pure Mistress and your friend Shi Wotang Master} That night, the palace held a banquet to welcome Yang Yan's triumphant return, as before, the whole family around the large number of cases to eat hot pot, although there was no chili pepper at that time, but there was pepper, native to India, introduced into the Central Plains from the Western Han Dynasty, the price is more than gold.
Pepper has always been a luxury, to the Tang Dynasty is the peak, many rich people to exchange their family property for pepper to maintain value, the Tang Dynasty famous minister Yuan Zai was raided, pepper alone found 800 stones, saving pepper is equal to saving money.
Another example is the Ming Dynasty, from Hongwu to Chenghua for more than 100 years, the officials are paid with silver plus the border soldiers, often replaced by pepper, when Yingzong of the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing officials are pepper for half a year, the officials are not idle, every time they are happily carried home, pepper is the status of hard currency, and the reputation is far more than the Ming treasure banknote.
As for sprinkling pepper on the barbecue stall happily like modern people, in ancient times, it was a lot of burning money, and ordinary people really couldn't afford to eat pepper.
The adults eat hot pot, the children put it aside, and there are female Qianniuwei watching and eating, but the female Qianniuwei is dancing and playing sticks for a living, not a full-time nanny, taking care of the children is inevitably rough, and the mothers glance at the wonderful eyes from time to time, showing that they are not at ease.
Yang Yan didn't care, he felt that it was better for children to be raised extensively than intensively, as long as they paid attention to hygiene, it should be fine, and the children grew up together, which is also beneficial to promoting the relationship between brothers and sisters, Yang Yan always wanted to avoid the recurrence of the tragedy of the nine sons of the Kangxi Dynasty.
Xun Guan looked at it with great interest, the four children sat in a row in the front row of a few cases, because of their young age, they couldn't use chopsticks, but it didn't matter, they each took a small bamboo spoon and poked it into the meat porridge, dipped in the food and put it in their mouths a little bit, looking very tired, the desktop, face, and body were also miserable, and even eating, suddenly a few children didn't know what to say, and they couldn't hear clearly, which made her amazed.
The atmosphere in the banquet was harmonious, and the women took turns to persuade Yang Yan to drink, and after three or five rounds, they couldn't help but get drunk, and at the same time, hundreds of people from Liu Yao's family also settled down, Yang Yan didn't treat him badly, and gave him a mansion according to the standard of waiting.
Liu Yao and Xiao Liu Hou stood in front of the hall, looking at the strange night sky, and their hearts were full of emotion.
From the emperor to the mausoleum keeper, the gap is more than tens of millions of miles, especially from then on, you must be cautious in your words and deeds, even if Yang Yan has no intention of doing him, but if there is a handle in the hands of others to bite him, he will have to peel off his skin if he does not die.
Before Liu Yao was called the emperor, he had made up the details, claiming to live in seclusion in the Guanshui Mountain, and two boys visited in the middle of the night, holding a sword in his hand, kneeling and saying: "The king of Guan Shuo made the ministers to see Emperor Zhao and offer a sword."
This sword is two feet long, dazzling and dazzling, and the sword light changes color with the four seasons.
Thinking of this, Liu Yao shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Fake is fake after all." ” Xiao Liu didn't know what he meant, and said in a smooth tone: "If you come, you will be safe, speaking of which, King Ming treated my family leniently, at least he didn't let the husband parade through the streets like a stone tiger." ” Liu Yao couldn't help but shudder. is as fierce as Shi Hu, I am afraid that he may not beg for mercy even if he is cut off, but he was turned into a big fat man by Yang Yan, which is more cruel than any torture for Shi Hu.
He remembered the appearance of Shi Hu when he first saw him, he couldn't believe his eyes, and he also had a deep fear of Yang Yan's methods.
However, Yang Yan treated him quite generously, and when he approached Luoyang, he was allowed to live in the car, and did not have to ride a horse, so as not to be pointed at.
Liu Yao sighed again, half a lifetime of hegemony, climbed to the top of the dragon platform, once the dream was shattered, back to the original form, now to middle age, should enjoy all the enjoyment, when the emperor has also tasted, he only hopes that the clan will be preserved, spend the rest of his life in peace, but there is a problem at the moment, because of the wealth of Yang Yan, the family has no money to spare, a large family to eat and drink has become an urgent need, other families can still secretly leave some money, he can't, in order not to be caught, must be handed over, in terms of surplus grain in the house, at most three or five days to cut off food. went to beg Yang Yan, but he couldn't pull his face.
Xiao Liu Hou was also worried about this, glanced at Liu Yao, and said: "Lang Jun, with the talent of You Gong, it will be used by King Ming, and there should be no shortage of family resources, thinking that when Lang Jun was in power, he had a lot of trust in You Gong, and You Gong should be grateful, it is better for the concubine to go to You Gong's Mansion tomorrow, ask to see Mrs.
You, borrow some money and food, and last this time." ” Liu Yao was in an extremely irritable mood, and went to borrow food from his former subordinates, but he still asked to see him, rather than this, it was better to give up this face and beg Yang Yan.
He has been an emperor anyway, and he is always a little arrogant in his heart.
At this time, a servant came to report: "Lord Lang, the imperial order of the Shaofu Gate asks to see you." ” "Oh" Liu Yao was surprised: "Please" The imperial palace ordered the emperor's money treasures and clothes, which were equivalent to Yang Yan's money bags, and were under the jurisdiction of the Shaofu, Liu Yao seemed to think of something, his eyes were full of brilliance, and he looked out with Xiao Liu.
Sure enough, a middle-aged man with a mediocre face hurriedly arrived, and arched his hand: "Liu Hou, my lord is worried that you have just arrived, and there is a shortage of use, so the special servant sent some goods over, and the car is outside the house, this is the list." ” As he spoke, he took out a book from his bosom and handed it to him.
"You're welcome" Liu Yao returned a salute, then took the book, opened it, the face was happy, there were all kinds of grain such as grain, wheat and millet, 10,000 stones, 1,000 silk cloth, 5 baht money, 500 pigs and sheep, 100 catties of sugar and salt, 100 catties of cotton, 1000 catties of cotton, this cotton, is cotton, with the introduction of cotton seeds, the planting range of cotton is expanding day by day, but there is a problem, cottonseeds are difficult to get off.
At present, it is by artificial deseeding, the amount of labor is large, the efficiency is low, so that the cotton cloth is not cheap, and because of the defects of the cotton seed, the quality of the cotton cloth is not too high, resulting in the status of the cotton cloth is very embarrassing, on the soft and luxurious, far less than silk, on the price, and higher than the linen cloth, can not meet Yang Yan's expectations, temporarily cotton is mainly used as cotton wool, filling the bedding and winter clothes, which not only saves the process of removing seeds, but also keeps warm and cold, the price is cheap, and is deeply loved by the majority of scholars.
Even the line of playing cotton has appeared spontaneously.
With Liu Yao's hundreds of families sharing evenly, these goods are actually not much, but they are more than enough to survive the spring famine, Liu Yao can't help but feel grateful, but at the same time, there is an indescribable sadness in his heart.
The family poured out, carrying the goods and grain back to the house, busy and busy, it was late at night, Yang Yan stayed in Hui Niang's room after dinner.
Although Hui Niang has a peaceful temperament, she is not as flattering as other women on the bed, but she is young and absent for a long time, and it didn't take long for her to be moved by Yang Yan's teasing, but it was also a little self-release.
The loud noise in the room had stopped, and Hui Niang thought back to the indulgence just now, her face was red, and she buried her head deep in Tan Lang's arms, leaving only a black hair, and the touch of snow white between her neck.
Yang Yan has a special affection for Hui Niang, as if he received a red book in his previous life, and he has a sacred sense of responsibility for the other half of the photo, even if there are many beauties around him, but Hui Niang, as his wife, is still unique, Yang Yan does not want to have a relationship with the queen, it is a purely political relationship, and he thinks it is better to be simple between men and women.
Thinking of this, Yang Yan hugged Hui Niang tightly, and chuckled: "Hui Niang, I will cultivate you well during this time, and I have to sow seeds." ” Hui Niang arched unobtrusively, and said with a red face: "Lang Jun can't spoil the concubine alone, otherwise the sisters will see the joke, in fact, pregnancy and childbirth, yin and yang, pay attention to chance, this matter is not urgent, and the mother also said that there is no problem with the concubine's body, Lang Jun doesn't have to do it deliberately, just let it be."
By the way, the concubine has something to tell Lang Jun, Sun's daughter Sun Mei has come to Luoyang a few years ago, living in another courtyard, the concubine plans to bring Sun Niangzi three days later, and Lang Jun round room, you see good" Yang Yan sighed secretly, to say a bastard, he almost forgot about Sun Mei, mainly because Sun Mei's appearance was not outstanding compared with the women around him, and he had not seen each other for a long time, so it was inevitable that he would be unfamiliar, which made him hesitate a little in his heart, thinking about whether to break the marriage contract with Sun Mei and return her to Ziyou.
Seeing that Yang Yan didn't answer, Hui Niang groaned slightly, understood the reason, raised her head, and persuaded: "Lang Jun, Sun Niangzi has been delayed by you for several years, even if you have no affection for her, but you must not make people feel cold, not to mention that if you abandon Sun Niangzi, how will the elders of Tancheng think about Lang Jun Even if he is unwilling, according to the concubine's opinion, he still wrongs himself." ” Yang Yan smiled bitterly and shook his head, sure enough, he was in the rivers and lakes, and he couldn't help himself, Sun Mei not only represented the Sun family, but symbolized hundreds of thousands of fathers and elders in Tancheng, and it was a political marriage
