"Harder! Harder! Harder! Hey!"
A red carp was thrown high into the sky, glittering in mid-air. Following its lip, a black fishing rod appeared in Zhao Ming's hand.
Zhao Jun, on the other hand, was holding his own golden fishing rod to refuel Zhao Ming.
These two guys came fishing early in the morning. I don’t know if it was due to the novice protection period. Zhao Ming has caught fish one after another from morning to now, but Zhao Jun has not caught any.
Looking at one after another next to him, Zhao Jun was jealous, but he was helpless.
It was the third day of the Lunar New Year, and the entire Yunzhou County had become a little deserted in the past few days. Everyone was visiting relatives, and even the government officials were conducting a seven-day holiday.
Under such circumstances, being bored in the palace, Zhao Jun called the prince out to fish.
I didn't expect to be so humiliated.
When the prince caught another fish, but he still caught nothing, looking at his empty fish basket, Zhao Jun took back the fishing rod with a twitching corner of his mouth and said: "All the fish in the river are on holiday today."
Then I ended today’s fishing with my fishing rod.
On the way back home, with his feet on the cement floor, the prince suddenly asked: "Lao Liu, I see you have a lot of cement. Even the entire ground of Yunzhou City is paved with cement. Why do you always limit the supply when Guannai purchases cement from Yunzhou County and say there is no more?"
Zhao Jun naturally knew the answer to this question, but he couldn't clearly say that we were deliberately making money from you through hunger marketing, so he said: "When cement first came out, it was naturally designed to meet the needs of our Yunzhou County, so You can see the use of cement everywhere in Yunzhou County.
However, things in this world are always limited. After meeting the needs of the county, the raw materials for making cement are not enough. To be more precise, Yunzhou County is short of manpower and cannot mine more raw materials.
As a result, the supply of cement within the customs can only be cut off from time to time. "
At this point, Zhao Jun sighed helplessly, with a helpless expression.
Zhao Ming was not stupid. Looking at Zhao Jun's exaggerated expression, he knew that he was not telling the truth, but instead of exposing him, he nodded and stopped talking.
This made Zhao Jun feel a little uncomfortable. He glanced at Zhao Ming secretly and saw that he still had an indifferent smile on his face. After thinking about it, he said as if he had no intention of doing so:
"I live in a remote area of Yunzhou County. The population is not enough, so the raw materials are not enough. If there are enough manpower and the raw materials are enough, I think the supply of cement to the customs will not be cut off."
Zhao Ming smiled secretly in his heart: "Lao Liu finally met Tu Qiong Dagger, and his feelings have decided to go to Guan Nei. Are you still playing hard-to-get with me?"
Thinking like this, Zhao Ming nodded with regret and said:
"That is indeed a pity. Lao Liu, you still need more development here. The population is not enough yet.
Yunzhou County is such a big place, how much money do you have to spend every year? If you don't quickly make some money from cement, just making iron will not be enough! "
After hearing this, Zhao Jun could only nod his head and said: "The prince is right, that's the truth!"
In his heart, he secretly scolded the prince for being cunning, but he didn't want to fall into the trap and just talked about him here.
The two brothers returned to the palace while exchanging words.
As soon as I entered the palace, a scent of fragrance hit my face.
When asked about the smell, the two brothers couldn't help but sniff.
This tastes like radish stewed with mutton!
How beautiful it is to serve a bowl of mutton soup like this in this weather!
There is mutton soup, maybe they are cooking hot pot!
The two immediately quickened their pace and headed towards the front hall where they were eating.
Soon, I came to the front hall, and sure enough, a large hot pot was placed in the center of the living room, and several large pots of radish stewed mutton soup were placed on the table next to it, used as the base of the hot pot.
On the table, a variety of frozen and thinly sliced mutton rolls and beef rolls sparkled crystal clear, making people swallow their saliva involuntarily.
"Princess, let's eat mutton hot pot today!"
Zhao Jun asked with some surprise.
Ye Yin, who was holding Brother Hu on her side, was setting up the dishes and chopsticks with her father Ye Wei, and said angrily: "I didn't see you back when I was working, but you caught up when I was eating.
Isn’t this obvious?
Need to ask? "
Zhao Jun chuckled and rubbed his hands and said: "I am such a big prince, it is not my turn to do this kind of thing, I just eat.
Suck! This smell! It’s not like you cook the princess yourself, right? I remember that the master chef in our house is not of this level! "
Ye Yin rolled her eyes, placed the bowls and chopsticks in front of Zhao Jun and said angrily:
"It's the third day of the Lunar New Year. Most of the servants in the house have been sent home to rest. Who else can cook for you besides me?
Just be lucky. If the prince and my father weren't here today, would you still want to taste my craftsmanship? Go ahead and dream! "
When Zhao Jun heard this, he immediately rubbed his hands and said with a smile: "That's the glory of the prince and Lao Taishan. I have to eat two more bowls!"
Zhao Ming looked at this scene with a smile, while Ye Wei looked at Zhao Jun with an unhappy face, but didn't say much.
Soon, the bowls and chopsticks were placed and the contents of the pot were almost ready. Ye Yin greeted everyone and started eating.
…
An hour later, when everyone was chatting with food and wine, Wang Huai'en suddenly walked in quickly, came to Zhao Jun and reported: "Your Majesty, the county governor's office came to report that there was a group of people who claimed to be some kind of person. People from the State of Li, please see you. I originally went to the county governor's office on New Year's Eve, but Sheriff Jiang was worried about disturbing your new year, so he postponed it until today.
What do you think we should do with this group of people? "
"Yelang Kingdom?"
Hearing this name, Zhao Jun was stunned. He had never heard of it!
Why did you suddenly come to find yourself?
"Yelang Kingdom is a small country in the Western Regions. It is said to be located in the northeast of the Tatar Grassland in the Western Regions.
During the pre-Tang Dynasty, after the Tang Dynasty defeated the Xiongnu and drove them far away, the Tatar grassland was once reduced to the Tang Dynasty's horse farm. After passing through the grassland, the power of the Tang Dynasty once conquered the Western Regions beyond the grassland. It was also brought under control and the Western Region Protectorate was established.
However, since the fall of the former Tang Dynasty, not only the Protectorate of the Western Regions was lost, but also the grassland was occupied by the rising Tatars. The only connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was the Hedong Corridor. However, due to the Huns and Because of the Tatars, the Hedong Corridor was also intermittent, and the connection between the Central Plains and the Western Regions was completely severed.
As far as I know, the area in the Western Region should be occupied by the Great Yueshi who failed to compete with the Tatars for the grassland. Now that area should be the area of the Great Yueshi. I originally thought that all the countries in the Western Regions have been destroyed. , now it seems that the Da Yueshi still haven’t killed them all.
But why did the people from Yelang Kingdom come to you and find you? "
Zhao Ming on the side asked with some confusion after telling him what he knew about Yelang.
In contrast, Zhao Jun was also very puzzled and shook his head: "I don't know either."
Turning to ask Wang Huaien, Wang Huaien scratched his head and replied: "The slaves also asked them what they were doing, but they didn't say anything. They only said that they wanted to see Tian Khan."
"Tian Khan?"
Zhao Ming, who heard this title, looked at Zhao Jun in confusion. Even with Zhao Jun's thick skin, he couldn't help but blush slightly at this moment, nodded slightly, and admitted that he should be the one he was talking about.
Zhao Ming suddenly showed a look of astonishment and disbelief.
I had always known that Lao Liu had become more successful in recent years, but I just found out today that I still underestimated him!
Tian Khan?
Lao Liu is amazing!
