After sending everyone away. Looking at the moon in the sky, Yue Fei said to Xu Qing: "I heard that Luoyang is very lively at night, not inferior to Kaifeng Mansion back then. You didn't drink much tonight, so come with me for a walk. Here you go. I’ve been in Luoyang for so long and I haven’t gone out at night.”
Xu Qing said yes.
The two of them left the post house and walked north along the road. The current commercial district of Luoyang is located along the Luo River, to the north of the post house. The closer you get to Luohe, the more lively it becomes. There are many roadside stalls on the roadside, some selling snacks and some selling barbecue, and there are more and more diners.
】
Finally arrived at the Luo River. Seeing the lights on the boats on the river and the numerous restaurants along the river, Yue Fei couldn't help but sigh: "When I came here a few years ago, Luoyang was like a ghost town. Now under Wang Xuanfu's rule, it looks different every day. I don't know how prosperous it has become!"
Xu Qing said: "Yes. Nowadays, the world is broken, and there are really not many places like this."
Yue Fei nodded. Walking along the Luohe River.
Along the road, there are candy sellers, some selling candied haws, some selling sweet cakes, and all kinds of snacks, all hawking them. There are also people selling children's toys, selling various kinds of clay whistles, people doing tricks, performing arts, and all kinds of sideshows.
Not far away, I saw a group of people gathered in front of me, pointing at the buildings inside.
Yue Fei stepped forward and asked an old man: "May I ask my father-in-law, why are so many people gathered here? What is being built?"
The old man looked Yue Fei up and down and said: "This is a theater, specially for people to perform in it. It is similar to the previous Gou Lan, but this theater is in the house, so I don't know how much more convenient it is."
"Theatre——" Yue Fei pondered for a while. "What is this place?"
"I told you, it's just like the old Gou Lan, where you focus on acting." The old man was a little impatient. "I heard that there is such a specially built theater in Xiangyang. But compared with here, it is far behind."
After the old man finished speaking, he turned around and started chatting with the person next to him.
Yue Fei returned to Xu Qing and sighed: "Wang Xuanfu is really good at it. He even built a theater. This is no better than the hooked tiles in Kaifeng Mansion before. It was built by the government, so it must be very lively."
Xu Qingdao: "I've long heard that there is a place like this in Xiangyang. It has everything you need, including music. There is also a kind of opera where some actors and actresses act as various figures in history. It is indeed very lively."
Yue Fei looked around and said, "Under Wang Xuanfu's rule, it is indeed much more prosperous than other places."
After saying that, he walked forward leisurely. Not far away, I saw a watch holding a lamp beside a lamp, with four big characters written on it: "Fireworks in the World".
Yue Fei said: "I heard that under Wang Xuanfu's rule, all larger cities had this place of human fireworks. It sells barbecue, grilled fish, and various fruit wines. It is a lively place. Come on, let’s go in and sit around and watch the fireworks in Luoyang.”
With that said, he led Xu Qing into the door of human fireworks.
The human fireworks here are the courtyards surrounded by bamboo fences. As soon as you enter the courtyard, there are small tables with small chairs. Next to it, there are large tables with chairs. Inside, there is a pavilion surrounded by flower pots.
Yue Fei looked at it and said to Xu Qing: "Let's stay outside. Listen to what the people around you are talking about and understand the sentiments of the people in Luoyang."
After calling the boy, the two found a table next to them and sat down. After asking about the dishes, it turns out that here is not only barbecue, but also a variety of hot and cold dishes. It's just that the dishes here are always fried quickly over high heat, which is different from other places.
Yue Fei ordered a grilled fish with some meat skewers, a cold dish and a fried frog, and asked the boy to come up quickly.
The waiter said: "Sir, the roasted kidneys here are plump and juicy, and your mouth will be full of oil after you take a bite. Do you want two skewers?"
Yue Fei smiled and said: "In that case, let's have two skewers. Clean it up, I can't stand the smell."
The boy said: "Don't worry, sir, our kidneys are the cleanest."
As he spoke, he walked quickly towards the stove.
Yue Fei looked at the stove, where three masters were wiping sweat while grilling various foods. Next to them, five stoves were lined up. The fire in the stove is very strong, and a big fire is bound to happen as soon as the dishes are cooked. Just stir-fry a few times and the dish is ready. The place close to the guests is where cold dishes are cut.
After looking at it carefully for a while, Yue Fei said: "It's good business here! Fireworks in the world are worthy of these four words."
Xu Qing said: "Yes, the fireworks here are not seen in other places."
Yue Fei nodded.
The boy served wine.
Because Yue Fei gave up drinking, wine was served. The alcohol content is very low, the alcohol is not strong, and the sour and sweet taste is very refreshing.
After taking a sip, Yue Fei praised: "This is excellent! This is the right time to drink at this time. It's refreshing and delicious, and you don't have to worry about getting drunk."
After a while the mutton skewers and kidneys arrived. Yue Fei picked it up, took a bite, and said, "No wonder the business here is so good. The meat here is delicious and the utensils used are neat. Who can compare to him? The business under Wang Xuan's care is still more profitable."
Xu Qing said: "Yes. Among all the generals nowadays, which one is not short of money? Only Wang Xuanfu's place has many soldiers and generals, and it is never short of money and food."
Yue Fei said: "If there is no shortage of money and food in the army, it is not just about having more money. We also need the generals who lead the troops to be loyal to the country and not selfish. That will work."
Xu Qing said: "I have never heard of anyone in Wang Xuanfu's army who is greedy for money and lustful."
Yue Fei sighed: "Do you think this is easy? Or is Wang Xuanfu so lucky that all the generals he meets can be so selfless? No. This can only be done if Wang Xuanfu himself has the ability and means. Today How many people in the world have such ability?"
After saying that, Yue Fei drank a glass of wine.
In today's world, besides Wang Xiaolie, there is another Yue Fei. They are not greedy for money or lustful, and their generals are good at fighting.
Some people always think that Yue Fei can fight because he has a group of generals who can fight. not like this. Except for a few generals who are gifted with their talents, most people will not be able to survive without you. In fact, people like Wang Xiaolie and Yue Fei have no shortage of talented people, they just want to see whether they can be used or not.
Most of Yue Fei's famous generals were from Xiangzhou. It’s just one state, how many talents can it have? These people followed Yue Fei, training and learning at the same time, coupled with the subtle influence of the war, they finally became talents. As long as Yue Fei is around, he will be more or less trained.
Similarly, Wang Xiaolie's men, such as Shao Ling, Cao Zhiyan, Xie Linong and others, are they born to be famous generals? It was under Wang Xiaolie that he studied and received various influences, and finally became a famous general. In addition to participating in more wars, he is stronger than others.
This truth is naturally understood when one reaches Yue Fei's position. Only by cultivating a lot of talents and conquering some talented people can a power be achieved.
