Chapter 2024: Troubles in the Court and a Vicious Plot
"There are more fennel and salt now, so the meat tastes less fishy and smelly. We also know how to marinate the meat before grilling it."
The little boy Pilu Nuhan found Jia Guitang again and sat next to him to talk.
"Now we all know that your city is at the front. Next time we fight, your city will be in danger! The enemy will bring siege weapons."
Jia Guitang suddenly talked about something else, and after speaking, he looked at Pilu Nuhan.
Pilu Nuhan curled his lips and said: "You can think of it, but the proprietor brother can't think of it? There are few of us and we can't stop it. The proprietor brother will send people to help."
"You're smart." Jia Guitan took a sip of kumiss. Kumis was brewed normally, and the Li Family Village has not yet released its distillation technology.
Because it involves toilet water and perfume, Wen Tianlan Xiangge's perfume surpasses all perfumes on the market.
The sperm whale contributed the fixative, just a little bit.
Distillation is the distillation of wine in daily life. Can't we live without distillation?
These things always maintain Lijiazhuangzi's income. Petroleum is obtained through distillation to obtain kerosene, gasoline, and diesel.
However, the current kumiss has a high alcohol content due to its good tools.
The alcohol content of beer is more than three degrees, and some people become confused after drinking two bottles.
Malt degree is not alcohol. The malt degree of 11 degrees refers to the sugar content.
The current kumiss has fifteen or six degrees, which is much more powerful than the Dawu Su beer from Li Yi's time.
Pilu Nuhan took a sip of kumiss and showed a comfortable expression: "Anda said that the proprietor brother will send people to build a larger city here, and then send people to plant and breed.
We have to continue to exchange things with other places through the ground roads. Our tea and silk are quite valuable.
We insist on surviving the winter today, and it will be fine next year. The proprietor brother is more anxious than everyone else.
Brother proprietor has us in his heart and he will not let us be exposed to danger.
Even if God wanted to kill us people and send a knife from the sky, the proprietor brother would tie us up to hold up the concrete roof. "
After finishing speaking, Pilu Nuhan looked around and took out a small clay pot from his arms with a straw rope tied around the outside.
He carefully untied it and took off the lid. Inside was chili powder, very broken.
"Here, you dip it and eat it. In autumn, a businessman comes over. Everyone else is in the same place, but there is a businessman who is far away.
He said he wanted to see some mine or something, and if he found it, he would make a fortune.
He went too far, he didn't find the mine, but the wolf found him.
The four of them were too courageous, and they were still foreign horses. When they encountered eleven wolves, the foreign horses did not dare to move.
Then we met our flock of sheep. My friends and I were herding the sheep.
Two of our dogs were bitten to death. We killed eight wolves at one time, including the wolf king. The two dogs that were bitten to death were those who bit the wolf king.
The wolves that later ran away, we here specifically looked for them and killed them after we found them, without waiting for their revenge.
The merchant gave us some chili noodles, and they continued to exchange things with Sulu and the white-clothed foodies. "
Pilu Nuhan told the situation and how he got the chili noodles.
"Oh! I won't eat it. I can have a lot of chili noodles when I go back. You can eat it! Two loyal dogs died." Jia Guitang looked at the chili noodles and felt sad for the child.
Explain that there are many dogs, and then the children herd the sheep on horseback. Their horses are not afraid of wolves when they have owners.
The children used bows and arrows with dogs to hunt wolves, and finally got the chili noodles, which they could not eat.
"I want you to tell the proprietor brother that someone has opened the way for exchange. You couldn't get through it before."
Pilu Nuhan said with a helpless and helpless expression.
Translated: How did you become a Fei Qi? Why are you so stupid? Did I mean chili noodles? I can even 'talk' to the proprietor brother, can't I just ask him for chili noodles?
"Am I drunk?" Jia Guitan quickly put down his things, turned on his telegraph machine, and sent a message.
…
"Don't you all know the situation? Eat, I'll cook some more."
Before Li Yi received the telegram, he was talking to a group of ministers.
Everyone smoothed their thoughts and began to look for opportunities. After searching, they found Li Yi.
Xiaolan was unhappy, but she didn't show it. When the ministers came, she became a maid again.
Even if Li Yi asked her to sit down, she felt that the ministers didn't take her seriously.
"Xiao Yi, Dashi City and Suiye City are always beaten because they have cities. Nowadays, the outermost city has fewer people but a bigger city."
Yao Chong spoke first, he was very concerned about the situation there.
"Go to the Ministry of War. It will be operated as arranged by the Ministry of War. Yulin Feiqi can only send telegraph operators, and the sixteen people cannot be moved.
Haven't all the soldiers who fought against Tubo been withdrawn? Let them guard the house, and those who were left behind at home will be sent out.
The most I can do here is give you stuff. If you leave from Chang'an, you can bring the steam engine and other supplies along with you. "
Li Yi made it clear, don't look for me, the handicraft industry has already cooperated with the Ministry of Household Affairs.
How to deploy the army there? In fact, you can just ask the local generals directly.
you ask me? I don't know the specific situation.
There are so many generals, but they are not better than me?
Song Jing said with a thoughtful look: "Xiao Yi, since Sulu is willing to fight against Bai Yi Da Shi, can we release the captured people and give them some luggage?"
"Why?" Li Yi shouted back.
"With the magnanimity of a great country, if they make mistakes occasionally, they should be forgiven." Song Jing found a reason.
"Are you forgiving those who died in the battle with Sulu? I forgive them for surrendering, because I believe those who died were also willing to see a large area belong to the Tang Dynasty.
They came over and took the initiative to fight many times! Beat him with benefits, but I'm used to all his faults?
Lao Song, let’s go to the Martyrs’ Cemetery tomorrow, keep vigil at night, and ask them, is that okay? "
Li Yi thought of a way, come on Old Song, go to the Martyrs Cemetery and convince yourself in the middle of the night.
Anyway, I can't do it. I'm afraid of being an atheist.
"What I actually want to say is, how can we repay kindness with kindness?" He was even more afraid of Song Jing's compromise.
"Brother Yi, take the captives back and put them in the place arranged by Zhuangzi?"
Li Longji never planned to give Sulu anything more, something he was not familiar with!
"No, exchange, exchange with Sulu, they send slaves, two slaves for one of their people, one hundred at a time, randomly selected.
Food and weapons can be exchanged. Slaves in white clothes and well-fed can be sent to Luoyang. I will build bridges and roads. "
Li Yi came up with a way not to use Tu Qishi's captives as slaves.
Everyone frowned, and Bi Gou responded quickly: "This plan is too vicious, but I like it."
"I agree, the method of firmness and softness is good." Zhang Jiuling continued.
"Forcing Sulu to launch a frenzied attack on Bai Yi Da Shi and capture them alive, otherwise he will be divided internally. If he doesn't capture those in Bai Yi Da Shi as slaves, he means he is unwilling to save his own people."
Su Ting figured it out, and this was just the first step.
