Divine bird egg!
Of course I know that this thing is good at attracting wealth. When this black and crystal-clear egg appeared in Fengshan, it caused quite a stir. Even the newly appointed magistrate Zhao Weixian was shocked. He thought that it was another auspicious thing coming to the world, so he specially made a special trip for this purpose. I took a trip to Fengshan.
I remember that when Shinzong was still alive, as long as he could get these fancy "games", such as white deer, red foxes, turtles with engraved words on their backs, or magpie birds with bright feathers, they could be promoted to the third rank. Level, civilians were rewarded with countless gold and silver. The only contribution made by Zhenzong of Song Dynasty, who engaged in feudal superstition, was to turn the great cause of Mount Tai into Zen into a low-level waste.
Fengshan Fengshan, is there really a phoenix here laying eggs?
But the people in Fengshan discovered something was wrong. There were only eggs but not the bird, and there seemed to be endless food. Every day, people from He Lu came to the market carrying a large load in a basket to sell.
The most terrible thing is that this thing only sells for ten cents each. Although it is twice as expensive as ordinary duck eggs, it is extremely cheap to sell it for ten cents because of its name. It has such a bluffing name. No matter what, the eggs on the head have to be sold for the same price each, otherwise they will be called a fart god, and they are only a few cents more expensive than salted duck eggs!
The villagers don’t know that this thing is made of duck eggs! Although exchanging one for three will cost a little money for materials, this transaction is already a very cost-effective one!
Fengshan is now particularly famous for three snacks, including jelly pickles and divine bird eggs. If you haven’t tried these three things when you come to Fengshan, it can be said that your trip is in vain!
Liang Chuan taught Father Zheng a unique secret skill in making jelly. In summer, add a little well water and drink it to cool your heart. In winter, the market is not so good, and the jelly fruits on the mountain are not mature enough to make it.
Ever since Liang Chuan added chili peppers to the kimchi, the whole taste has been taken to a whole new level. Is there such a stimulating yet refreshing taste in the world? Whether it is a simple pickled radish or pickled chicken feet, you will definitely want to eat it again after taking one bite. Two mouths.
The third thing is the sacred bird eggs, which are also called preserved eggs. The local people rarely eat them because the merchants from outside are more rare. Every day in Fengshan, there are people picking up the sacred bird eggs to buy them. As long as you buy them, you will definitely have them. Businessmen outside changed hands and bought it away! The difference of a few pennies in the middle is simply worth it!
Although the production of divine bird eggs is large, it has not increased. On the one hand, it is also because the duck egg production in Fengshan is not high. Secondly, I really don’t dare to overproduce this thing. Otherwise, one day this trade secret will be stolen, and there will be no way. The market is monopolized. Therefore, although the divine bird egg has a great reputation, it is still famous in a few cities on Fujian Road. In the north, very few people know what this divine bird egg is!
These three snacks were promoted by the people in Liang Chuan's hometown after he left his hometown. Liang Chuan thought he just had an idea, but it gave many people a way to survive.
When Zhaocai heard that Liang Chuan was going to give him this dot, the couple was so excited that they almost knelt down again!
Liang Chuan helped the two of them up and said, "When I recruited my brother, I didn't give him any skills. I've always been worried about this. Fortunately, he has learned the same skills from Fang Tianding. In the future, there will always be something that can be passed down from generation to generation. Since you want to start over now and have traveled thousands of miles to come to Bianjing to find me, then I can’t be stingy!”
The recipe for making preserved eggs was quite simple, and the recipe could be taught to them. However, Liang Chuan agreed with them that they would live in Zhuangzi from now on, and the eggs would also be made in Zhuangzi. Zhuangzi was looked after by Yelu Chongguang and others. No outsiders can come in, and everyone in Zhuangzi is reliable. This is the most suitable place!
Liang Chuan was filled with emotion when he saw the eldest brother Zhaodi looking like this.
The fat woman I married before I wanted to attract wealth was a fat, lazy and evil daughter-in-law who was one of the best in the world. Whoever married her into the family would have suffered nine lifetimes of bad luck. It would not be an exaggeration to describe her as having her ancestral grave dug up.
It is said that men are the backbone of a family, but in fact, women are the backbone of a family. As the saying goes, a good wife and a good husband will lead to few misfortunes. Every man hopes to have a beloved who will warm you porridge and wake you up in the evening. While you are fighting outside, your home is a haven for healing!
Liang Chuan believed that his greatest wealth in this world was not that he had so much knowledge, but that he met Yi Niang, a good wife. If it had been anyone else, he might have flown to another nest when he was not at home. Got it!
Wei Qiu'e should be such a person. You know, you have to travel thousands of miles from Xinghua to Bianjing. If a woman is willing to accompany you to take great risks and endure so much hardship to complete this journey, it can be said that you are walking through the gate of hell. Once again, what else is difficult to overcome together?
In the past, that fat woman thought that her ability was to show off her power at home, to oppress her husband and humiliate her father-in-law. What is the greatest ability of a woman? That is, her man can hold his head high outside. If the man loses, she will lose miserably!
Liang Chuan dictated the recipe to Zhaocai. Zhaocai wanted to learn it, so he could recite it after just memorizing it once. In the afternoon, he asked Yelu Chongguang to take him around the market to familiarize himself with the market and purchase materials.
When the two entered the market in Bianjing City, they were like drops of water falling into the sea. The markets in Bianjing City include the Night Market Xiaoshi Cao Market. The night market usually lasts until around three o'clock in the night. There is a market in front of Daxiangguo Temple, and the goods in it are quite neat.
The main ingredients for making preserved eggs are duck eggs, and then various spices. These are very common in the market, and you can basically buy them all in one go.
The production of preserved eggs takes about a month, or more than 20 days at the fastest. During these days, we start preparing the raw materials before making them.
There is no idle person in Liangjiazhuang now. Everyone is busy with their own work. Zhaocai is indeed not a lazy person. Since Liang Chuan gave him this recipe, he first borrowed a few strings of money from Liang Chuan. The two couples got up early and worked late. , I kept going to the market every day, and the duck eggs I bought were wrapped in pine and cypress tree ashes and put in pottery jars.
In just a few days, dozens of jars of duck eggs were packed. Liang Chuan was also generous. He wanted to attract wealth and make a career, so he had to help. Moreover, no matter how much duck eggs he bought, it was only a small amount of money. For him, this small amount of money was not even a drop in the bucket. .
Those who want to attract wealth are also those who have endured hardships for half their lives. Now when they meet Wei Qiu'e, the two miserable people cherish each other. As long as there is a little hope in life, no matter how miserable it is, it is joy in the misery. After several days of work, they didn't feel tired at all. Looking at the piles of duck eggs, they only had one thought in their minds: the days ahead would be better and better.
Before Zhaocai, I didn’t understand that Zhaocai had no idea how to recruit his younger brother. He followed Liangchuan up the mountain and down the river every day, and had to follow him in everything. The fat bitch even scolded her brother that he had a bad brain and was just being treated like a bully. . Now I think about myself, those who pretend to be smart are the real fools. My younger brother has already turned over after following Liang Chuan, and he is still struggling in the sea of misery.
If I had followed Saburo earlier, I'm afraid I would have been popular!
Bianjing City is full of businesses. Even the bamboo weavings made by Fengshan can be sold at a good price in this market. However, there are not many bamboos in the north, and the freight is higher than the profit.
The past days were equally bitter, but I don’t know when they will end. I was confused all day long. It’s great to have days with hope. You can get through the hardships. It turns out that this is the taste of life!
Bianliang Imperial City.
The envoy sent to deliver the letter to the Liao Kingdom came back, and the news he brought shocked the government and the public. The news that the Tubo people killed the Liao people disappeared without a trace. Although this matter was not discussed publicly in the court, only the east and west mansions were closed to discuss countermeasures. Some of the remonstrating ministers and officials were ready to take this matter to task.
There is no trivial matter in diplomacy, and besides, this matter concerns the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom is a fierce tiger. What should we do if it is not handled properly and causes a war?
The war in the northwest had just subsided, and countless manpower and material resources were spent to deal with the small land of Xixia. The Song Dynasty seemed to have a strong military, but it was far less powerful than the Taizu period. Moreover, the strength of the Liao tiger was even greater than that of Xixia!
In fact, they are all wrong. The Liao Kingdom is now even less powerful than the Song Dynasty when Xiao Chuo was in power. The national power is corrupt and corrupt from top to bottom. At this time, the Liao Kingdom is more afraid of war than the Song Dynasty. They even lost miserably to Xixia in the Battle of Liao-Xia!
The Liao Kingdom actually learned to pretend to be deaf and dumb!
This news caught everyone by surprise. People from the Admonition Court repeatedly asked about the authenticity of the news. Based on their understanding of the Khitan people, they were the best at using the topic to their advantage, and would often hold on to a small braid.
Have they changed their gender? Are you a good person now?
No one would have such naive ideas. There was only one thought in everyone's mind. The Khitans were planning some bigger conspiracy!
Some people even suggested that the Liao people's move was very ancient, and the Song Dynasty could not escape the blame. It should take the blame on itself and offer compensation to the Liao Kingdom!
Such shameless remarks were severely condemned by Xia Song, Han Qi, Fan Zhongyan and other leading militant groups! This servility goes deep into the bones. The Liao Kingdom itself is silent, but you are still siding with others. It is simply unreasonable!
Zhao Zhen couldn't make up his mind, but Empress Dowager Liu rarely spoke up after she recovered: "This matter has nothing to do with the Song Dynasty in the first place. If the Khitan people are looking for unhappiness, they are also looking for the unhappiness of the Tubo people. If they use the topic to their advantage, , then we, the Great Song Dynasty, will definitely welcome us as a righteous teacher, so why should we be afraid!"
The words "What is there to be afraid of" made all the civil and military officials in the dynasty ashamed. Their fear of war was deep in their bones. They were not as good as Liu E, a female figure!
Liu E humiliated all the ministers of the dynasty, but Fan Zhongyan and other ministers were excited to hear it. Liu E's methods were extraordinary, and sometimes her political level was beyond a certain level. She could see complex things thoroughly.
Xia Song originally knew that Empress Dowager Liu was old-hearted, and wanted to use Liang Chuan's hidden line to get in touch with Empress Dowager Liu, imitating the shamelessness of Jia Chaochang. Now thinking about it, the old Empress Dowager is getting more and more sophisticated as she lives, and she is really not an easy person to deal with. Role! No wonder Zhao Zhen, who has been the emperor for so many years, is just living in her shadow!
Liu Taihuo advocated downplaying the matter, but Ansheng comforted Xia Song and ordered the Ministry of Household Affairs to allocate some money to him to repair the burned house. This move made Xia Song burst into tears. Now the whole court regarded them as their outstanding achievements. The military is a thorn in the side, and the political implications of this move by the Queen Mother are so special!
"Thank you, Queen Mother, for your kindness!"
"I think this move is inappropriate! Tubo has been on good terms with me, the Song Dynasty, for many years, but this time it is suddenly difficult to attack me, a high official in the imperial court. If you really want to put the blame on the Song Dynasty, why not pick me, Pingzhang, instead? A deputy prime minister? Mr. Xia has lived in the frontier army for a long time. I heard that Mr. Xia is very strict in running the army. According to reports from the front line, during the war with Xixia, a branch of our Song Dynasty went deep into Hetao and Hexi. Was it the Western Army that invaded Tubo? This is a revenge for the Tubo people’s territory?”
His heart can be killed!
In order to attack Xia Song, Jia Chaochang ignored him and poured dirty water on him. A political attack only needs two points of suspicion, plus one point of evidence, and the remaining seven points are fabrication. As long as the investigation continues, no official has a clean butt.
At first, Xia Song also heard the news that Li Yuanhao was raising troops to prepare for the attack. Later, he returned home for unknown reasons. Later, news came out that there was an army that appeared from nowhere and was on the east side of the Xixia left wing guard army. , Tuxi killed, killing Xixia people crying like ghosts and howling like wolves.
The Song Dynasty thought it was the Tubo people, and the Tubo people thought it belonged to the Song Dynasty. Now that the war is over, they still haven't figured out whose family it belongs to.
Xia Song could only bite the bullet and said: "I can't repay your gratitude to the Lord for your kindness. I will repair the house myself without using state funds. As for the affairs of the Western Army, the Procuratorate can also verify it. I have nothing to do with the Tubo people!" "
Here we go again. Zhao Zhen finally got good news from the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Kingdom did not want to start a war. As a result, they did not make trouble, but his own people started to make trouble first.
If it weren't for the ancestral system that prevents us from killing scholars, and I was afraid of being scolded as a cowardly tyrant by future generations, I would really want to take a severe stab at these crow-like scholars!
When the Liao people stopped fighting, the tense atmosphere among the ministers calmed down again. In a blink of an eye, it returned to the period of internal fighting. The whole court was as noisy as the market outside the east gate!
Zhao Zhen survived until he retired from the court and returned to the harem with a depressed look. The harem was not at peace either. Yang Meiren and Shang Meiren had always been at odds with the queen, and they would fight to the death every day!
"Shou En, it would be nice if Lian was a commoner."
It goes without saying that Zhao Zhen was an emperor with unparalleled benevolence and kindness. He was also extremely generous to his servants. There was sand in the food served by the palace maids. He was afraid that the palace ladies would be punished, so he held back and did not say anything. If he has a good temper, others will bully him to the point of being bullied. Empress Dowager Liu treats him like a child, and even the empresses in the harem dare to take advantage of him!
Xia Shou'en had such a high status that he kept a check in front of the palace all the way from the prince to the dragon. He also knew Zhao Zhen's thoughts clearly and said: "In the official family, the common people have the same suffering as the common people. We have to worry about this year's seeds. After autumn, The harvest is good, but when it comes to putting rice into the pot, most people are not in peace..."
A man who is full does not know that a man who is hungry is hungry. Zhao Zhen's life was too comfortable, that's why he had so many complaints.
Zhao Zhen probed: "What will happen if I take Miss Shen into my harem?"
Xia Shou'en was shocked and said: "My lord, it is absolutely impossible. You are the wisest master throughout the ages. Shen Qingyi is just a singing fan on the street. If he enters the imperial city, where will the royal majesty be lost?" Not to mention that the Queen Mother will not agree, not even the civil and military officials will stand on the side of the Holy One. How will the historian's Spring and Autumn writing style be written about the Holy One in the history books in the future?"
Zhao Zhen felt even more troubled. He raised his head and looked at the sky. There were countless beauties in the harem, but he just hated that he was like a caged bird, with no identity at all.
"Come with me for a walk in the evening."
Xia Shousi remained silent.
When Xia Shouen heard this, he understood that the officials were planning to go to the Forbidden City to watch a show again. It has almost become a routine now. Whenever I feel bad, I will go to the Forbidden City. I have to ask someone to take care of it again. The guy dared to rush into the Holy Driver last time, but he can't make such mistakes again.
Xia Shouen knew very well that Shen Qingyi had been someone else's plaything for a long time, and the official was itching in his heart because he couldn't get enough of it. Men are all like this. He has been giving hints to himself, hoping that he can imitate Zhenzong and redeem Shen Qingyi's body, and then change his identity, and in a few years he can get into the palace openly.
Queen Mother Liu had already done this trick herself, and she still wanted to do it again under the eyes of others? If I dare to follow the officials and commit chaos, I'm afraid Empress Dowager Liu will beat her to death on the spot!
Women, just for fun, do you really want to imitate Tang Minghuang?
