Break the line

Zijuan was also unhappy. Not only was she a vegetarian, but she was also sent to protect Master Menghui. Pope Rookie.

As soon as she entered the door, Luo Zijuan said haha: "Well, what do you call this? Priest Cui?"

Meng Hui finally put away his smile: "General Luo, please sit down. We met in Danzhou under a pseudonym. It was not my intention. Please forgive me. Friends make friends, we know each other's surnames, and names are all imaginary. I still regard you as a friend." .”

When she said this, Luo Zijuan felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, no one in the rivers and lakes has many names."

"What happened to Danzhou?" This is what Meng Hui wanted to know.

Luo Zijuan finally became serious and sighed: "It's Lu Buqiu!"

The three-state chain plan failed, but Lu Buqiu was not nervous, Jing Jiwei made a move, and quickly took several Xizhou spy camps in the eleven states of Jiangdong. The captured cipher text showed that the Xizhou people were planning to rise in Danzhou and control the entrance of the East China Sea. The cost of bargaining with the court.Although the queen mother doesn't understand the government, she still understands the strategic position of Danzhou. She immediately sent the Jingji Guards to go deep into Danzhou to investigate the spy camp in Xizhou. chips.In short, the Jiangdong states did not restore calm because of their departure, but became more turbulent.

"In this case, shouldn't you stay in Danzhou?" Meng Hui's heart was racing, but his face was as calm as water, and he even poured a cup of tea and handed it to Luo Zijuan.

She took the tea and drank it in one gulp, "Danzhou has a 300-year-old foundation of the Luo family, so it can't be messed up. But she is very dangerous."

Neither of the two explained who this "she" was, but they knew each other well.

"I think you are the ones who don't want her to reach Chuijiao Mountain safely, are you?" Luo Zijuan put down the teacup and looked at Meng Hui sideways with a playful expression.

What the Pope wants is the emperor. As long as the princess is killed, the emperor will have to go. This is obvious.

Meng Hui also drank his own cup of tea, and put it down calmly: "If you say, I ask you to protect her, will you agree?"

Chapter 27

When Guzhou City arrived, the Lord Fu personally led the officials to welcome Princess Jialan [-] miles outside the city. A middle-aged man with a friendly face did not look stupid. evaluation of.

Walking to the city gate, the scene in front of you is really shocking. You can see that the city wall is made of square rocks stacked tightly together. The city gate is neither the wooden gate like Huizhou, nor the red-painted golden gate in Kyoto. Instead, there are two huge stone gates, which are divided into front and back doors, suspended from a high place, and closed from top to bottom. Li Zui couldn't help but walk to the outer door and look up at the huge stone gate. It seems to be controlled by some kind of mechanism. Really rare.

"Your Highness has worked hard all the way. Please enter the city and rest in the government office. I will prepare a little wine. Please taste one or two of Guzhou's specialties." Lord Shifu respectfully and without losing his demeanor.

Seeing that Li Zui was curious about the stone gate, he stepped forward: "There are many mountains and rivers in Guzhou. Every year when floods flood during the flood season, stone gates will fall down to block them. The front and rear gates can be blocked by water levels through the difference in water level to avoid floods." Entering the city. Look at this, and this, the suspension is controlled by the axle mechanism."

"Oh? I didn't expect Mr. Shi to be so proficient in fortifications even though he was born in the imperial examination. It's amazing." Li Zui said lightly, and Shi Fujun's color changed instantly, but he immediately explained with a smile: "Although my family is a scholar, there are many people in the village. There are workers, just by hearing and seeing, His Highness, please, this way please..."

The westbound team had to transfer to an official ship in Guzhou, so after three days of rest, Li Zui, who had settled down, invited Meng back to the city for a walk. It is still necessary to contact the relationship in advance to make up for the mistakes.

Therefore, Yinglan quickly found the best restaurant in the city - Yuqinglou from the gossip of the maids in the government office. Hou Meng came back.

Not long after, Meng Hui came lightly, and the three behind him were Fu Ling, who was dissatisfied and still held grudges, Alisma, who was official and alert, and Luo Zijuan, who gave Li Zui a headache when he appeared.

It was Cheng Qi who spoke first: "Why are you here? Luo? What's wrong with Luo?"

Luo Zijuan is not the one who suffers, no matter what she says with her hands or her mouth: "I heard that Deng Tu hosted a banquet to apologize, so my bodyguard must be very vigilant!"

"You are the apprentice!" Cheng Qi felt that he was wronged. He was accused of being an apprentice in front of the person who had just proposed to him. A seat was seated.Sure enough, just brothers, alas.

Li Zui picked up the wine cup and filled a glass: "Master Meng, Cheng Qi's disrespect is due to my laxity, but he has a pure heart and no blasphemy. !" After finishing the glass, he slightly tilted the wine glass to signal, a beam of sunlight happened to shine on the pure white porcelain wine cup, and Meng Hui was stunned for a moment.

After Cheng Qi also obediently drank three cups of apologetic wine, Meng Hui said, "Since the princess said he is pure, let's treat him as pure." You are welcome, our Highness apologized so condescendingly, but she was still so joking, Cheng Qi silently added three crosses to the end of Meng Hui's name in the small book, together with the previous charge of abducting the emperor, hum .

"This bright porcelain wine cup, seeing that you have been using it, is indeed a peerless boutique." Meng Hui seemed to say casually.

Li Zui tightened his finger on the wine glass, and Ying Lan, who was pouring the wine, hurriedly followed Haoci: "Although Zhongzhou is far away in the south of the Yangtze River, the Haoci produced in Zhongzhou is the best in the world. It is warm and pure white, and has all four virtues." have."

Meng Hui nodded, but Cheng Qi finally found a chance to speak: "Sister Ying, that's because you only know one thing and don't know the other. Of course Zhongzhou Haoci is famous, but do you know where Haoci originated from?"

"Who cares where he is, has to come in through our Danzhou port!" Luo Zijuan picked up a plate of Guzhou specialty beans in front of her, eating with relish.

"Cut!" Cheng Qi ignored Luo Zijuan's ignorance of him, and continued on his own: "It's this Guzhou!"

Fu Ling was rather curious: "There are many mountains and rivers in Guzhou, and porcelain is also produced?"

Cheng Qi finally met a supporter, so uncomfortable, he spread his folding fan, and began to talk happily: "In Guzhou, there are high mountains and rivers, and there are very few flat lands. Naturally, there is little farming. How do the people in this state live on? ?”

Scholars, farmers, businessmen, and scholars are hereditary natural treasures. Although businessmen are ranked at the bottom, if they don’t worry about promotion, it is right to make a fortune. It is not difficult to make friends with officials when they have money. The former richest man in Jiangnan, Shen Liang, and Yuanzhou The Fujun is sworn brother, so naturally things are going well.But if there is no land?Farming is naturally impossible, so you can only work.

"That's right, fortification!"

"Guzhou can be said to have ten people and nine workers. This fortification can be said in one word, but if it is counted, it is all-encompassing. Building a house and repairing a city is a job. Cooking food and firing porcelain is also a job. Even casting weapons and armor is also a job. , so this fortification is the way of life for the people of Guzhou!"

The business of the restaurant is booming, not only the merchants, but also the locals gather for a drink. There are more than [-] people in the restaurant, big and small, who are busy delivering dishes. It happened that a seven or eight-year-old child came to refill Li Zui's private room with a kettle. The little boy's round eyes were extraordinarily clever, and he glanced at the poem inscribed on Cheng Qi's wobbly fan, and then blurted out: "The sunset and the lone duck fly together, and the autumn water is the same color as the sky!" Look, everyone. Seeing the little boy's self-satisfied look, Cheng Qi casually rewarded him with a silver melon seed.Meng Hui raised his eyebrows, picked up the teacup, and took a sip: "Children are clever, but how can they know poetry?"

"Nonsense!" The old waiter rushed over and slapped the child on the head: "How can you add tea when the water is not hot, why don't you just go to the kitchen and add hot water!"

The old man turned his head and apologized to the table: "The child is not sensible, so he insisted on coming out to help, and disturbed a few of you, I am sorry for this little old man! I am sorry!"

"It's okay, let's go down." Li Zui waved his hand.

When the door of the private room was closed, Li Zui held on to the jug himself, and added wine to Meng Hui: "It seems that there are strange things in Guzhou, the governor who understands construction, and the waiter who knows poetry. I wonder if Hall Master Meng knows the secrets?"

"I don't know."

Li Zui thought that this new ally might not cooperate wholeheartedly so soon, thinking that Kan Jian, who had already gone out to inquire, might gain something.

But I heard Meng Hui's next sentence, "Here comes the knower."

Everyone at the table was stunned, but there was a knock on the door. Alisma got up and opened the door. A middle-aged woman in her 40s, dressed in gold silk and white, saluted respectfully: "Gu Mei Xueqing, the prefect of the state pope, pays homage to Hall Master Meng."

Chapter 28

"Master Mei, please sit down and drink tea." Meng Hui was modest and polite.

She was not impolite, and took her seat in a good manner, took a sip of the tea cup: "I am a native of Guzhou. I decided to join the religion at the age of 12, believe in the moon god, and abide by it for life. So I still know a lot about things here. Since the hall master invited me to discuss it in detail, I must know everything, and if you have questions, it’s okay to say.”

Everyone hurriedly thanked him in advance, Li Zui glanced at Meng Hui, but she was quick to act.

Guzhou is indeed a unique state capital. The special terrain makes it difficult for the local people to survive on farming, and the more special national policy makes them only workers.It was established at the beginning of the hazy dynasty, emphasizing agriculture and despising business, cutting industry and supplementing mines. This is the national policy. It is easy to understand that emphasizing agriculture and despising business.
