Tang's dining table

The reason why Hassan tolerated Yunchu leading the horse thieves to rob Zhezhi City was entirely because the losses during the robbery were within his tolerance range.

Now, after Yunchu completed the robbery, he burned down Zhezhi City again, which was intolerable.

Although the nobles in Zhezhi City were killing each other just now, when the fire broke out in Zhezhi City, they quickly stopped fighting and began to renegotiate an alliance, preparing to deal with the outsider Yunchu with all their strength.

After fighting fiercely for a whole day, they had already reached the point where they were tired of men and horses. If they wanted to hunt down Yun Chu and the gang of horse thieves who had just left Zhezhi City, they had to take a rest first, drink some water and eat some food.

They drank the water from the water bladders and brought water from the medicinal water for cooking. After they drank the water and finished the meal, Hassan suddenly found that his warriors began to vomit and have diarrhea.

Suddenly, on this battlefield full of corpses, a stench rose into the sky...

After Vashken counted his healthy warriors, he found that there were more healthy warriors than Hassan's, and the war resumed.

Yunchu was the last to leave Zhezhi City. Before him, many Shiguo people from Zhezhi City also followed the old thieves and the others.

They did not follow because they liked the old thieves, but they were used to following wealth. Without that wealth, the existence of some goldsmiths, copper coins, silversmiths, carpets, cobblers, blacksmiths, musicians, and dancers would be nothing. significance.

No matter who the wealth belongs to, the owner of the wealth needs to use these craftsmen to increase the value of the wealth.

Even if those bandits form a bandit city, they will still be the common people in the bandit city.

When Yunchu left, the wooden buildings on the rammed earth city wall also started to catch fire. Just beside the huge fire in Zhezhi City, there was a group of people fighting risking their lives.

"That's why I look down on them..."

When Yunchu walked around the mountain pass, he took one last look at those people and said to Liang Ying.

More than two thousand people from the Shi Kingdom followed the old thieves. The old thieves were actually a very interesting group of people.

On this trip, Zhezhi City was evacuated without killing many people or losing many people. They were very satisfied with the result.

They knew the significance of those craftsmen following them, and they were willing to help them as much as possible.

They have many, many camels, and those camels can carry several people while carrying goods.

With these people, you will not be lonely on the journey. Those musicians will always play beautiful music, and those castrated actors will always sing loudly. This turns this huge camel team into a Moving towns.

Every time they camp, the craftsmen will look for those old thieves and want to turn the gold coins in their hands into exquisite gold objects. Silversmiths and coppersmiths are also doing the same thing, and those leatherworkers often Take out the fur clothes you made and exchange them with the old thieves for gold coins or copper coins.

The zhezhi dance beside the bonfire is really beautiful. After those beautiful dancers have fully demonstrated their amazingly elastic waists and graceful bodies through dance, they will go to find those old thieves with a lot of money to use. Your body is exchanged for an exciting price.

The most beautiful and enchanting dancer would hold the golden cup in her mouth, lean back, tremble her waist and move backwards to bring the golden cup to Yun Chu.

Yunchu didn't want to touch her gold cup, and she didn't know how many people had used it. Therefore, after throwing a gold coin into the gold cup, the dancer would turn her target to Liang Ying, the number two person in the caravan.

Liang Ying would not accept the dancer's kindness, so she also threw a gold coin into the gold cup.

Then, the dancing girl will continue to look for the next target... When she arrives at the old thief, she is grabbed by a few strong men by her limbs and accepts her kindness.

The lewd sounds rang in the ears, and the musicians began to play music crazily. As soon as they took it, more dancers imitated the most beautiful dancer, holding silver cups and copper cups, shaking their waists, and began to flatter Yun Chu. .

Yun Chu threw a gold coin into every gold, silver, and copper cup that passed in front of him, and Liang Ying did the same.

Unlike Yun Chu, who looked at the dancers with admiration, Liang Ying's eyes held some contempt.

"Never despise other people's way of making a living, especially when we have just finished looting Zhezhi City." Yun Chu touched Liang Ying with his shoulder.

Liang Ying frowned and said, "Is it true that we don't need to be polite and honest?"

Yunchu laughed and said, "Our ancestors only created rituals in the Zhou Dynasty 1,700 years ago. Because of the existence of rituals, our ethnic group has order.

After having the etiquette, it was not until the Spring and Autumn Period that we perfected the etiquette and created the concept of propriety, justice and integrity.

Before this, our ancestors lived a life even worse than those of the Stone Kingdom people. They used the blue sky as their curtain, the earth as their bed, and enjoyed wind, rain, thunder and lightning. Only through hard work and reproduction did our tribe prosper.

At that time, the Western Region was still a barbaric land. They knew how to grow food and raise livestock, but there was no such thing as a birth ceremony.

There was no order and rules recognized by everyone, which resulted in power becoming the only rule that could make people bow their heads.

Everything these dancers do is actually their way of survival. There is no talk of debauchery, no talk of propriety, justice and shame.

In this desert, surviving is the most important thing in the world.

You may not like their behavior, but you cannot despise their behavior. They are a group of people who work hard to build their own happy life. "

As Yun Chu spoke, he picked up another gold coin and threw it into the pottery bowl in the mouth of an old dancer with dirt on her chest like a victim.

Liang Ying looked at the old dancer who was about to faint with excitement, and followed Yun Chu's example and threw a gold coin into the broken bowl.

Although after arriving at the old thieves' place, the old dancer was kicked out and the pottery bowl was broken, the old dancer didn't take it seriously and put the two gold coins she earned on her eyes, looking happy. Even the camels that provided her with sleep warmth were happy for her.

"Is this the role of money?" Liang Ying sighed once again.

The prodigal son from Liang Jianfang's family has no concept of money. He used to spend money so generously, but he has never observed the expressions of those who made money from him.

Seeing the old dancer holding two gold coins and dancing beside the camel, he immediately felt that at the end of the day, this one gold coin was the most worthwhile thing to spend.

"Is this how you feel after bringing benefits to the people in Wannian County?"

Liang Ying asked, covering her chest.

Yun Chu smiled and said: "Giving flowers to others will leave a lingering fragrance in your hands. If we all want to live a truly happy life, we must have a wealth of millions. We must have the courage to run away in one day. We must also have the courage to stand alone in the busy city and turn our palms into clouds." , the ability to turn your palms into rain, and the ability to gather thousands of gold and silver in an instant. Only in this way can you become a real man."

Liang Ying looked at Yun Chu with admiration and said: "You have such ability, no one else can."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "In that case, you must work hard to do this. In this world, human ability is the most valuable thing.

Only in this way can we have the confidence to keep the green hills without worrying about running out of firewood.

Therefore, the size of a big family is definitely not determined by how much food it has or how many people it has, but by how many talented people it has that can make a difference. "

Liang Ying took stock of his family, and finally sighed: "Our family still relies on the military achievements of our ancestors in the past, and these military achievements have become less and less valuable in recent years."

Yunchu felt that he had said enough to Liang Ying today, so he didn't plan to go any further.

As for the Yanmen County Duke's residence, if there are not one or two useful talents, it will be lost to everyone in two generations.

I hope Liang Ying can grow through this experience, which can be regarded as repaying Liang Jianfang's favor for promoting her in the past.

The heirs of veterans of the military were withering very badly, especially after the emperor launched the real scientific examination system, and their channels for becoming officials were suddenly tightened. Any attempt to become officials through recommendation has now basically come to nothing.

It is almost very difficult for the children of the Wuxun family to produce a person who is good at reading. Even if they have good teachers to educate them, they still cannot compare with those who come from a family of scholars.

For example, the private school in Jinchangfang has been running for five years. In the past five years, Mr. Private School has taught the children in Jinchangfang to recognize a large number of words and learn simple arithmetic.

In fact, it was nothing more than that. Yun Chu simply did not dare to have such hope if he wanted to further enter the four schools, the Imperial Academy, and the Imperial Academy.

Without more than ten years of hard work, without the trial and error of generations of students, it would be difficult for the private academy in Jinchangfang to produce a Taipei student.

The reason why Yunchu himself was highly regarded by others was that he could enter the four schools, and then the Imperial Academy, and finally got the ninth place in the Jinshi examination.

Jinchangfang has money, bookstores, private schools, and teachers. Under such good conditions, it is difficult for talents to emerge. It is even more difficult for those remote places to produce a real scholar.

Confucian learning has never been cheap...

Seeing the old dancer singing and dancing while holding up two gold coins, Yun Chu couldn't help but admire Li Zhi's methods in the Western Regions.

When Buddhism accepts the hearts of the people of the Western Regions, the Confucian way of governing the world will probably become popular in the Western Regions.

In any case, judging from Li Zhi's arrangements, he should be an emperor who can go a long way.

When there are no sandstorms in the Gobi, the sky is like light blue jelly. Yunchu wanted to reach out and touch it, but he couldn't catch anything. If his arms were long enough to touch the blue sky, that feeling would be It should be very, very flexible.

Everything is going well, so there is nothing to complain about in life. I just wonder if Yu Xiurong and her three children are okay under the Big Wild Goose Pagoda.
