Tang's dining table

The earliest Eight Immortals appeared in the era of Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty. They were eight writers known as the "Eight Immortals of Huainan" and were called the "Eight Gongs" at that time. "Primary School Cyanosis Pearl" records: "The Eight Dukes of Huainan: Zuo Wu, Li Shang, Su Fei, Tian You, Mao Pi, Lei Qui, Jinchang, and Wu Qui."

Later, because of the legend that the King of Huainan became an immortal, later generations attached to his sect, the Eight Immortals, also became immortals, and were called the "Eight Immortals".

The "Shu Ji" written by Qiao Xiu of the Jin Dynasty contains the "Eight Immortals of Shu", in order: "The first is Rong Chenggong, the second is Li Er, the third is Dong Zhongshu, the fourth is Zhang Daoling, the fifth is Juping, the sixth is Li Babai, and the seventh is Fan. Longevity, Mr. Balzhu.

It is completely different from the Eight Immortals in people's legends.

The characters in Du Fu's "Song of the Eight Immortals in Drinking" are: Li Bai, He Zhizhang, Li Shizhi, Li Jing, Cui Zongzhi, Su Jin, Zhang Xu, and Jiao Sui.

Therefore, most of the people who can be called immortals are big shots and have nothing to do with ordinary Guizhou leaders.

As for Tieguai Li and other ordinary people being able to be called the Eight Immortals, it was something after the Meng Yuan Dynasty.

The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, and each showed his magical powers to cross the East China Sea.

Cross the sea in this direction and find a few idle islands like Yingzhou and Penglai. If you want to find a place that is enough to settle down, except for Japan and Ryukyu, there seems to be no big place.

The direction Zhang Guo was going was to the east, and the place where the ancestors of Wen Wen's family planned to open up was probably also in the east.

It is obviously not in line with the temperament of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty to ask these aristocratic families to work hard, shout about poisonous diseases, and brave the wind and rain to open up a place, and finally become a big boss.

What does Xungui mean? It is a group of people who are dedicated to enjoying happiness and accepting service from others. If you don't serve me, I will beat you until you serve me obediently.

Over the years, the Japanese country has continuously sent envoys from the Tang Dynasty, and the nobles of the Tang Dynasty have basically gained some understanding of this place. Although the place is a little poorer, the woman's face is a little paler, and her teeth are a little darker, but after all, there are There are no less than two million people! !

Over the years, they have continued to learn from the people of the Tang Dynasty, and they should have learned a lot. At least, they should have learned a lot of livelihood skills such as farming, building houses, building roads, burning charcoal, doing work, etc. The best thing is that these people were not even able to make a living in the Tang Dynasty. I also learned a lot about Taoism and Buddhism in the Tang Dynasty. If everyone went there, there would be no need to worry about having no one to serve them.

Yes, that's what Yun Chu thought. What he could think of, how could those nobles from aristocratic families who had no way to escape think of it?

Li Ji, a great military master of the generation, could think of parasitizing his family on Tuyuhun, but couldn't they think of ways to parasitize the Japanese country?

Li Ji's parasitism in Tuyuhun finally failed. Therefore, parasitism is obviously unworkable. So, wouldn't it be enough to simply seize the Bird Island and let the gentlemen control it?

Tuyuhun is too close to the Tang Dynasty, and it can be pacified by just sending any one of the sixteen guards there. As for the Japanese country, the distance between the Japanese country and the Japanese country is far enough that the Tang Dynasty does not even have time to manage Liuqiu in the southeast, let alone The country of Japan.

What interests the nobles the most is that the Japanese country actually has iron, silver, horses, and can grow rice... The most important thing is that there are many people there... they don't need to do these jobs...

Yun Chu thought about it for a long time and then looked at Wen Wen with a smile.

Wen Wen spread her hands and said: "Okay, it seems you have figured it out. What our ancestors are plotting is the Japanese country. They have already begun to collect the Japanese envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty in Chang'an and Luoyang, and arranged these envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty to various departments for further training. They also specially dispatched Their husbands were knowledgeable and moral people, and many officials specifically told the Japanese king through the envoys sent back to the Tang Dynasty that they could send more envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty to study in the Tang Dynasty so that they could learn as soon as possible and bring the splendor of the Tang Dynasty to the Japanese country. Get rid of the name of barbarians as soon as possible.”

Yun Chu looked at Wen Wen and said, "Japanese country is poor."

Wen Wen smiled and said: "This has also been taken into consideration. As long as the envoys from the Tang Dynasty are sent, their food, clothing, housing and transportation will be properly arranged. Just send those Japanese who can endure hardship and like to study hard. In the future, the Japanese country can use them.

I think we in Chang'an cannot use the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty as livestock in the future. It is somewhat disrespectful to the dignity of the Tang Dynasty to send them directly to the brick kiln to bake bricks like you did..."

Yun Chu felt that what Wen Wen said was very reasonable, and these envoys to the Tang Dynasty must be educated. Once they were all educated into Confucian scholars, they themselves would look down on the barbarians in the Japanese country and take the initiative to divide people into three, six or nine grades.

"I think you can finally send these people to me, and I will teach them a few lessons. The reason why today's Japanese country cannot compare with the Tang Dynasty, and is even inferior to the people on the Goryeo Peninsula, is because The Japanese king.

He should have a more tolerant heart and a broader embrace. He should recruit mature officials from the Tang Dynasty to participate in the governance of the Japanese country as soon as possible like our Tang Dynasty. Only in this way can the Japanese country become strong and powerful in the shortest time... "

Di Renjie watched blankly as Yun Chu and Wen Wen continued to make suggestions for the Japanese king. Moreover, he could see that at this moment, Yun Chu and Wen Wen were really thinking about the Japanese country. They even began to think about how to defeat the Japanese king. Establish laws, state institutions, how to organize the army, how to govern the people, and how to transform the local area.

At this moment, Di Renjie vaguely felt that Yun Chu and Wen Wen in front of him looked like two loyal Japanese people.

What he didn't know was that if the nobles wanted to harm other places, such as the Minyue region, Yunchu might also bury something bad in their plans.

Since the nobles and noble families were plotting against Japan, Yunchu felt that he had to use his 120,000 points of ability to help these noble families. The noble families succeeded and spared no effort.

Yunchu had fantasized about the tragic fate of this disgusting nation countless times, from volcanic eruptions to super tsunamis, earthquakes, the land sliding into the Mariana Trench, nuclear explosions, and zombie sieges, all of them, and not just once.

Now, he feels that his idea is wrong and he should not treat others so cruelly. The methods of the ancestors of the Wenwen family are the right ones. Leading people to be good is what people can do.

Lao He, who had been avoiding others talking about important things, saw that Yun Chu and Wen Wen were talking louder and louder, and knew that what they were saying now was suitable for him to participate.

When he heard Rou Wen talking about mineral deposits, he interrupted without thinking: "Is there a mine? Where is the mine? Can I take a share?"

She smiled softly and said, "For the great cause of cowpox, you even sold your ancestral home to Xu Jingzong. Where did you get the money to do these great things?"

Lao He chuckled and said: "His Majesty ordered Xu Jingzong to return the ancestral home I sold to him without having to refund the money. I already knew that God would not let an honest person like me suffer."

"Xu Jingzong didn't cause any trouble for you?"

"No, I want my money back, but they don't want it. They also said that they bought my ancestral house just to help with the great cause of eradicating the plague. They have been keeping it for me, and they are just waiting to give it back to me one day."

Yun Chu looked around with a smile, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, all the people in the Tang Dynasty are good people. I just realized this today.

When Li Hong came over, Yun Chu's barbecue seafood feast had come to an end. Li Hong didn't care. He took two prawns off the grill, ate them, wiped his mouth and said to Yun Chu: "My father's. The headache is back."

Yun Chu said: "If you don't go to serve the sick, do you still have the intention to play here?"

Li Hongdao: "I just vomited for a while, Sun Shenxian took an injection, and now he is asleep. My mother is watching over me. Master, my father scolded me, saying that I should have stopped him from killing Ye Fashan."

Yun Chu said: "Do you believe those people?"

Li Hong shook his head and said, "I don't believe it, it's my father who has gone crazy."

Yun Chu said: "In the final analysis, whether it is the Emperor, the Emperor, or the Khan, they are only human beings, and they will have delusions. His Majesty is rich all over the world, and his only delusion is immortality. It is understandable."

Hearing this, Li Hong looked at Yun Chu in surprise and said, "Master, my father is seeking immortality."

Yun Chu said: "The First Emperor, Han Wu, and Emperor Taizong all sought immortality. This does not affect their status as emperors throughout the ages."

"Master, did I hear you correctly? You actually support my father's pursuit of immortality?"

Yunchu patted Li Hong on the shoulder and said: "Your Majesty is the lord of the world. He can do whatever he wants, even if it is to seek immortality. As long as your Majesty does not swallow those poisonous pills, I think it will be no big deal."

Li Hong's eyes flashed, he looked at Yun Chu and said, "Master will not think..."

Before Li Hong could finish speaking, Yun Chu frowned and interrupted him: "Don't do things that make your father feel uncomfortable. Your Majesty has enough wisdom to distinguish whether something is true or false, even if it is wrong. Yes, His Majesty must have felt that he was in the wrong before he did it."

Li Hong shook his head and said: "This matter is inherently bad."

Yun Chu pressed Li Hong's shoulder and said: "You will only give up after you have done something and it is proved to be wrong. Your Majesty is just asking for immortality, and it is not a major event that will harm the country and the people.

I think you stayed up so late and came to me. Xu Jingzong asked you to come to me to help you make up your mind? "

Li Hongdao: "My disciple asked Master Xu, and Master Xu said that he also wanted to seek immortality."

Yun Chu said: "Your Majesty, there is nothing wrong in seeking immortality. There are only wrong ways to seek immortality in this world, and there is no wrong idea of ​​seeking immortality."

Li Hong hesitated for a moment and said, "I feel that there is a big conspiracy hanging over my head."

Yun Chu smiled and said: "The Eight Immortals crossed the sea, each showing his magical powers. As long as the people of the Tang Dynasty still recognize His Majesty as their emperor, we can just stand on the shore and watch what others do. It's no big deal."

Li Hong turned to look at the still lively scene at Yu Xiurong's side and said, "They look very happy."

Yun Chu said: "As long as you don't act like a prince, as a junior, you can go and see them and ask them why they are so happy."
