Chapter 109: The Storm Brewing in Tokyo City Since returning to Tokyo, Ouyang Xiu's family has not been at peace, and the guests are full of envy all day long.
At first, those people thought that Ouyang Xiu would die in Hami, but who knew that after this old man went to Hami, he was strong and healthy, and his face was ruddy and almost unrecognizable.
Those who knew understood that he was sent to Hami to suffer, and those who did not know thought that this old man would be raised for three years in a place with beautiful scenery and pleasant climate.
The most incomprehensible thing is that when this old man came back, he had a lot of money, and the compensation of 5,000 taels of gold given by Hami made the poor Ouyang Xiu's family immediately become rich.
As for all kinds of precious Western Regions native products, they are full of ten carts, these things are farewell gifts from Hami colleagues, just agate, glass mirrors, and reading glasses, which make Mrs.
Ouyang very satisfied.
As for the icing, sugar cubes, and rock sugar made from beets, they made those noble ladies stunned.
Ouyang Xiu, who returned to Tokyo, became a drunkard......
Being drunk is a state of life, but also a kind of practice.
After all, even the emperor is not good at what to do with an old man who is always drunk, the appointment of the prefect of Luzhou has already come down, and Ouyang Xiu is not willing to go.
If he hadn't been appointed before going to Hami, Ouyang Xiu would definitely be grateful to the emperor.
In any case, this can be regarded as the emperor helping himself to climb out of the mud.
Now there is no need, Ouyang Xiu is very rich, and his title and official position are almost mixed, and he feels that it is time for him to go further in his studies.
Zhang Zai and Zhang Hengqu's Guan Xue has already been mixed to Tokyo to give lectures, and if there is no new knowledge coming out, it is likely that the Beijing Society will be comprehensively surpassed by Guan Xue.
Ouyang Xiu will naturally not use dirty methods, if he uses the resources in his hands to suppress and persecute the newly emerging Guan Xue, even if he wins, Ouyang Xiu will be ashamed.
It is because of Ouyang Xiu's moral cleanliness that the city of Tokyo has become a place where all kinds of new ideas have exploded.
After a day's feast, the drunkard was naturally drunk again, and was carried back by the boy to the bedroom, and Mrs.
Ouyang sighed and took the maid to change the old man's clothes.
After Ouyang Xiu took a sip of the decanting soup, he sat up very energetically, and the rice wine of the Great Song Dynasty still made him drunk.
Ask the lady to get him some side dishes, soup cakes and other things to cushion his stomach, and it is certain that he will not have enough to eat at the banquet, regardless of ancient and modern.
Those fine meals are more like an embellishment, and everyone likes to pick up a glass of wine and talk a lot of nonsense, and then drink, and not a single one of them is serious.
Four small dishes in spring, a bowl of soup cakes, Ouyang Xiu ate very sweet.
Mrs.
Ouyang couldn't help but feel a little sad, she was always very guilty about her husband going thousands of miles away to earn money for the family's officials, wiped the corners of her eyes and said, "My husband has suffered in Hami." ” "Suffering?"
Ouyang Xiu looked up at his wife and said, "It's just that others don't believe in the words of the husband, why don't you even believe it?"
” Mrs.
Ouyang pushed the dish to Ouyang Xiu's side and said, "Taste them all, don't just eat the ones in front of you."
You always say how prosperous the Hami country is, and the concubine will accompany you to talk about this Hami country.
The poem "Bai Xue Ge Sends the Military Judge to Beijing" will not be unfamiliar with it, right?
” Ouyang Xiu saw that his wife was interested in talking about poetry with him, so he smiled and said: "That's right, it is a poem made by Cen Shen when he sent his colleagues away in Luntai, and it is a very good poem that exhausts the style of the Western Regions." ” When Mrs.
Ouyang saw her husband entering the court, she clapped her hands and said, "Concubine, I heard that this wheel is not far from Hami......
Ouyang Xiu laughed and said: "It's really not far, it's just separated by a Tianshan Mountain, a big ghost moraine, it should be more than two thousand miles." ” "Huh?"
Ouyang Xiu patted his wife's hand and said: "The Western Regions are so big that Madame can not imagine, there are 14,000 li from east to west, 7,000 li from north to south, even so, it is only an approximate number.
The northernmost North Sea is cold all year round, and the old man even heard King Hami say that the far north has half a year of day and half a year of night......
There are white giant bears running on the ice, and there is a brilliant sky like brocade stretching for more than a thousand miles. ” Mrs.
Ouyang opened her mouth wide, and it took a while to come back to her senses, and she hurriedly said to Ouyang Xiu: "You can just say these words to the concubine, telling others will attract the laughter of others."
The husband may not know that Zizhan has already named him Su Dazui because he has talked too much!
“ Ouyang Xiu slapped heavily on the table and said, "A group of people who sit in the well and watch the sky dare to make fun of Kunpeng. ” "Husband, let's continue to talk about Cen Shen, he is in the poem, the north wind sweeps the white grass and folds, and the snow flies in August, this shouldn't be fake, right?"
Ouyang Xiu frowned and said: "This is true, the grass and trees are yellow in August, and the occasional snow is not an accident. ” Mrs.
Ouyang smiled and said: "Then Hanhai is dry and icy, and the gloomy clouds are bleak and condensed, these two sentences are not groundless, right?"
” Ouyang Xiu nodded and said: "No, the winter in the Western Regions is a real slaughter, the cold winter is coming, everything is withering, the birds are flying away, and the traces of people are extinguished." ” "Ha, in that case, why does the husband still say that he is living a fairy-like life in Hami?"
Ouyang Xiu saw that his wife folded her hands together, as excited as a girl, and couldn't help but smile: "What does all this have to do with me?
” Mrs.
Ouyang tilted her head and said, "The general's horns and bows can't be controlled, and it's hard to protect the iron clothes, isn't it a portrayal of the husband?"
You are the prime minister, aren't you an official position like the protector of the capital?

” "It's bigger than Dugo, so you don't have to run around in the cold weather, under normal circumstances, your husband will only stay in the Xiangguo Mansion in Qingxiang City in the winter, and don't go anywhere.
The main hall of Xiangguo Mansion, the back house has hot spring water flowing from the ground, a palace room of Nuoda is as warm as spring, Zizhan and their young people are in the mansion, not even wearing a smock, playing barefoot in it.
This is not even nothing, the Queen Mother Hami has a huge garden, this garden is warm like spring all year round, vegetables and fruits are endless all year round, even on the days when the north wind sweeps the white grass and folds, your husband and I can eat fresh vegetables every day, which is stronger than Tokyo.
To tell the truth, the old man in Hami is indeed much more comfortable than Tokyo, the environment is only one aspect, and more importantly, your husband can do everything he wants to do in Hami without worrying about being hindered.
If you don't think about anything else, the old man will not quit to be a Hami person. ” Madam Ouyang sighed and said, "If Hami is really as good as your husband said, with your temper, it is indeed a good place to live for a long time." ” Ouyang Xiu sighed and didn't say a word.
The people of the Great Song Dynasty are stubborn, especially the people of Tokyo, they stubbornly think that Tokyo is the best in the whole world, and there is no prosperous place in the world outside of Tokyo.
Don't say that the people who live around the imperial city look down on the people outside the city gate, Shuzhong and Yangzhou are all countryside for them, as for the Hami country that is thousands of miles away......
Fortunately, Hami is very wealthy, and this reputation was known to the people of Tokyo as early as when King Hami married the eldest princess.
In addition, this time, Tokyo is full of treasures transported from the Hami country, and the treasures are coveted, whether it is a huge agate stone, a piece of Hetian white jade weighing two hundred catties makes the people of Tokyo dizzy, but the performance of those Hami warriors who accompanied the eldest princess into Beijing is not very good, except for the barbaric and ferocious.
As a result, Hami has unknowingly become synonymous with the rich landowners in the countryside.
Tie Dan is a very capable person, although he is not very old, as the envoy of Hami to stay in Tokyo, all the business and trade between the two countries are carried out through him.
The annual supply of 10,000 war horses has completely liberated the feet of the Song people, and the price of war horses has plummeted.
The supply of cattle and sheep made the Great Song Dynasty lift the ban on slaughtering cattle, and even in the streets of Tokyo, the dried beef and mutton brought from the Western Regions were also full of shelves, and the people from well-off families could also buy some to taste.
The Great Song Dynasty had stopped buying dwarf Mongolian horses from the Khitan, and only the Hetao horses and Qingtang horses from Western Xia still had a place in the Great Song Dynasty.
Of course, the best one to buy is Hami Ma, after Tie Xinyuan, who is familiar with the allusions of the Great Song Dynasty, put on the hat of Hami Ma with a certain Dawan horse, people who like war horses are all flocking to it.
At that time, the story of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty sending the second division general to expedition to Dawan in order to obtain sweat and blood was very popular in the Great Song Dynasty.
I don't know the Da Song people in the Dawan and Hami regions, and they directly think that Hami Ma is Dawan Ma.
The sheep intestine road from Hami to the Great Song Dynasty has been trampled into a thoroughfare by these war horses and cattle and sheep, and the merchants on this road are endless, even the dilapidated Lanzhou City in the past, because of the existence of this important trade route, has now been renovated, and the garrison is 5,000 soldiers, becoming an important supply town on the trade road.
The cattle and sheep between Hami and the Great Song Dynasty, and the trade of war horses are in full swing, so naturally some people are unwilling to see this.
In the past, as long as the Tangut people were willing to fight horses, they could exchange everything they wanted from the Great Song Dynasty.
It's a pity that since the Great Song Dynasty occupied Hehuang, the Great Song Dynasty not only canceled the New Year's coin, but even the Silver Star and City, which had been open for decades, were closed.
For a time, the Great Song Dynasty and Western Xia returned to the point of not getting along with each other.
The trade between the Great Song Dynasty and the Khitan was still going on, but the goods of the Great Song Dynasty became very expensive, which made the noble merchants of the Khitan bitter.
After satisfying the supply of war horses, cattle and sheep, the Great Song Dynasty basically had nothing else to ask for from the Khitan and Western Xia.
This is unfair, only war can completely erase this unfairness, and everyone can only sit down after a big war and determine their respective positions and positions according to their military strength.
The storm of war is brewing, and both the Tangut and Khitan people will set their sights on the small Hami country.
Destroy the heresy of Hami, and the world will function healthily again.
