Datang romantic little landlord

If there is a need for orchids in barbarian restaurants, most of them are sold in West Market. I think it would be good if the barbarian shopkeeper didn't sell them.

Unexpectedly, Cheng Chumo's words were rejected by the barbarian shopkeeper who shook his head: "I'm sorry, my lord, we don't sell that orchid."

"What? Why don't you sell it? You tell me clearly!" Cheng Chumo was furious. This barbarian shopkeeper made it clear that he would not give him face.

He said in front of all the dandies that he would buy that orchid and give it to Li Wangyou, but now the shopkeeper of the barbarian restaurant doesn't sell it. Does this mean that they don't take Lu Guogong's house seriously?

Most of the Hu people doing business in Chang'an City are Sogdians. They have nine surnames: An, Cao, Shi, Mi, He, Shi, Mu, and Bi. Tang people called them Zhaowu Nine Surnames, also known as Jiu Surname Hu.

An Lushan, the terminator of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, was a Sogdian, one of the nine surnames in Zhaowu, a member of the An Lushan clan.

Like the European Jews, the Sogdians were also good at doing business.

They bought silk from the Central Plains and shipped it to the Western Regions, and imported glass beads, jade, agate, pearls and other jewelry from the Western Regions.Trading livestock, even slaves, was a way for these Sogdians to make money, and they almost controlled the lifeblood of the Silk Road trade.

Moreover, almost every Sogdian merchant lends usury, not only lending money, but also lending silk.

It was recorded in "Cefu Yuangui" that the "children of the inner crown of the capital" mostly "raised the capital of the foreigners", that is, the dandy children in Chang'an borrowed money from the Sogdians and could not repay it. This shows that these Sogdians The wealth of giants and businessmen.

These Sogdian merchants were also good at surrendering to various political forces, thereby gaining political status and facilitating business operations.If it is an ordinary Chang'an dude, there is really nothing to do with these Sogdian merchants.

But Cheng Chumo and the others are not ordinary dandies, they are the top dandies in Tang Dynasty.No matter how powerful the Sogdian merchant was, he could only keep silent in the face of Cheng Chumo's anger.

The shopkeeper of the barbarian wine shop repeatedly bowed and bowed: "Young master, don't embarrass me. It doesn't count if I say this. Then the orchid really can't be sold!"

"Why can't you sell it? If you don't speak clearly today, believe it or not, I will set a fire on your wine shop and burn it completely?"

Not only did Cheng Chumo get angry at the barbarian shopkeeper's evasion, but a group of dandies surrounded him furiously, ready to strike at the slightest disagreement, and teach this barbaric shopkeeper who didn't understand the rules.

Let him understand who owns the world of Tang Dynasty. It is really against the heavens that a mere surname Hu dares to make trouble with them in Chang'an City.

Surrounded by a group of dudes from the founding father of the Tang Dynasty, the barbarian shopkeeper was about to cry, what a crime!I knew why I had to accept such an errand in the first place.

He even regretted that he shouldn't have invited that orchid girl out to accompany the guests yesterday, otherwise such things would not have happened.

Seeing that he couldn't escape, the barbarian shopkeeper who was cornered had no choice but to invite everyone into the restaurant.I found a quiet room, respectfully invited everyone to be seated, and ordered people to bring drinks.

After sending all the servants away, the barbarian shopkeeper lowered his voice and explained to Li Wangyou and the others why he couldn't sell the orchid.

After listening to the barbarian's shopkeeper's explanation, Li Wangyou and a group of dudes looked at each other in astonishment. No one thought that there was such a hidden secret in it.

Cheng Chu silently nodded his head, and said to Li Wangyou with a bitter face: "Brother Ziyou, there are many orchids, why don't you change one? Brother, how about going to the West Market to buy you two more stunning orchids?"

Fang Yiai, Wei Shuyu and the others also persuaded: "Yes, Ziyou, orchids are the same, brothers just buy you a few more beautiful ones."

Li Wangyou just shook his head, he was not greedy for beauty, but just wanted to save Aphrodite from the sea of ​​suffering.

What the barbarian shopkeeper said not only did not make him give up this plan, but became more determined.

"Brothers, if I don't buy that orchid home and allow her to become a lowly prostitute in this wine shop, I'm afraid my conscience won't be at ease. Last night, the orchid risked her life to kill my little brother. How can I just walk away after being dragged out of the fire? If this is the case, brother, will the brothers still be willing to make friends with me?"

Li Wangyou's words were so sincere that Fang Yiai and the others were speechless.

It is said that whores are ruthless and actors are not righteous, but last night the orchid girl rescued Li Wangyou, but they saw it in their eyes.But as Li Wangyou said, even they would despise Li Wangyou if he left like this.

Cheng Chumo slapped on the cases: "I don't believe you, Zhiniang, this Zoroastrianism can go against the heavens? They can't let them have the final say in Chang'an City!"

"That's right! That's it. Let's go back to the mansion and order all the songs. I'm going to make a big fuss in that Zoroastrian temple today. Let's see if I have a strong long spear, or that Zoroastrian Sabao is stubborn!" Yuchi The twin brothers also shouted.

The Zoroastrian Temple is the place where Zoroastrianism worships.

Zoroastrianism, also known as Zoroastrianism, is a religion that both the Persian Empire and the Sogdians believed in.Sa Bao was the regional political and religious leader of Zoroastrianism and the leader of the Sogdians.

As soon as he heard that the dudes were going to make a big disturbance in the Zoroastrian Temple, the barbarian shopkeeper knew that he had caused trouble, so he knelt down and kowtowed, asking all the young masters to raise their hands.

If Sa Bao found out that it was because of him that these dudes were sent to the Zoroastrian Temple, he would not even be able to keep his head.

Li Wangyou also got up quickly and stopped the excited crowd: "Brothers, don't be impulsive. If you really want to go to the Zoroastrian Temple and make a big fuss, I'm afraid it won't end well. Why don't you go to Nasabao to discuss it first , if he agrees, that's fine, if not, let's think of another way."

All the dandies calmed down a bit and nodded in agreement.

The Sogdians controlled the trade on the Silk Road, and even the bigwigs in the court were unwilling to offend them easily.

If this group of dudes really went to make a big fuss in the Zoroastrian Temple of the Sogdians, I'm afraid they would really cause a lot of trouble.

Li Wangyou looked at the barbarian shopkeeper again: "Shopkeeper, we won't make things difficult for you. We will settle this matter by ourselves, and we will never tell others. You told us about this matter. But you also have to give me a guarantee, no Let that Aphrodite come out to meet guests again until we settle this matter, okay?"

The barbarian shopkeeper quickly nodded in response, and promised to take good care of the orchid girl.

Seeing that he had promised so much, Li Wangyou and others left the wine shop, preparing to go to the Zoroastrian Temple of the Sogdians to negotiate with Sabao.

153 Zoroastrian Holy Fire

In Chang'an City, the Zoroastrian Temple of the Sogdians is located in Liquanfang to the north of the West Market, separated from the West Market by the [-]-meter-wide Jinguangmen Street.

Everyone rode their horses, and after a while, they arrived outside the gate of the Zoroastrian Temple.

The Zoroastrian temple of Zoroastrianism, unlike Taoism or Buddhism, does not have statues of gods.

There is a fire altar in the Zoroastrian temple, and copper tripods of different sizes are placed, and a raging flame is burning inside. This is the holy fire of Zoroastrian worship.

The holy fire of Zoroastrian worship is extracted from the flames offered by Sogdian believers who have pure beliefs, words and deeds.

Using precious wood as a kindling material, it burns non-stop in the Zoroastrian temple for believers to worship.

They found the Zoroastrian priest in the Zoroastrian temple and asked to see Sabao to talk about something.

The name of Sabao in Chang'an City was Milman, and he was the political and religious head of the Sogdians in Chang'an, with a high status.

Although he had no official position in the Tang Dynasty, because the Sogdians controlled the trade on the Silk Road, Li Erdu met him many times and gave him gifts to win over the Sogdians.

When Milliman learned that a group of descendants of the Duke of Tang had come to visit, he didn't think too much about it, and asked the priest to invite them into the Zoroastrian Temple.

"Several young masters, you are far away from us. I don't know what you can do with me?" Milman is a middle-aged man, whose appearance is similar to that of a Persian.After seeing the dandies, he was kind and greeted everyone.

Seeing Zoroastrian Sabao's attitude, all the dandies felt a little relieved.With their face, it should be very easy to ask the Zoroastrianism for an insignificant female slave.

Li Wangyou bowed to Milriman: "Sa Bao, we have something to ask for, and I would like to ask Sa Bao to make it easier for me."

"Oh? I don't know what happened?"

"I heard that your religion has a female slave from Daqin, and I want to buy this female slave from your religion. Is it convenient?" Li Wangyou put forward his request with a smile.

However, as soon as he said that, Milliman's expression changed: "Young gentleman, I'm afraid you are mistaken. Our Zoroastrianism does not have any female slaves from Daqin. Where did you hear that? here?"

Seeing Milman and hearing about Da Qin's female slave, he immediately restrained his smile, and all the dudes were taken aback, wondering if Milman really wanted to be so disrespectful to everyone?

Li Wangyou said with a smile: "I'm very curious about Daqin women, and I've been asking for them everywhere. The subordinate officials of the Chang'an county government told me that you Zoroastrians have Daqin slaves in their hands, so that's why someone came to sincerely ask for them. Please also ask Sabao to come." It is convenient and the price is easy to negotiate, and it will definitely not let Sabao suffer.”
