Chapter 1174: Carrying on the Past and Opening up the Future (Sixty-Four) Childishness
The howling north wind rolled up the snowflakes in the air, floating irregularly in the air. A thick layer had accumulated on the ground. Looking around, almost everything in the field of vision was silvery white, except for the distance in the distance. There is still some greenery on the top of the mountain.
Tan Feng stood at the gate of the city with his hands behind his back. He was standing above the wind outlet. The wind blowing from a distance raised his cloak high and made a sound in the wind. Standing in two rows behind him were His personal guards, like him, were stuck in the place like nails. In contrast, on the city wall, the soldiers in the city gate hole tried their best to stand upright, but their bodies were still Some couldn't help but tremble.
A thick layer of snow has accumulated on the helmet, and Tan Feng has been standing here for nearly half an hour. Suddenly his eyebrows were raised, and some black spots appeared in the distance. They were getting closer and closer, and finally they could be seen clearly. They were =Pig=Pig=Island=Novelww.zhuzhA horse team, in the middle of the horse team, surrounded by a car A carriage with a cage placed on top of the carriage.
Horse hooves galloped on the snow, bringing up a white mist belt, running towards the city. Tan Feng raised his hand. The soldiers who had been standing on the city wall for almost a morning suddenly became energetic. Ten horns were blown. The tambourine filled up the cheeks, the nearly two-meter-long horn blew, and more war drums sounded, one after another, like beating on a person's heart.
The war horses slowed down and neighed, stopping neatly ten meters away from Tan Feng, showing their extraordinary equestrian skills. In the cage on top of the carriage, Fan Sui was wrapped in a blanket. , huddled in a corner, the sound of trumpets and drums woke him up from his daze. When he raised his head, he saw the tall city wall of Yingchuan City and the figure in front of the wall.
"The last general, Chen Ziyu, was ordered to deliver the prisoner Fan Sui." A knight immediately dismounted. He took out a document from his arms, raised his hands above his head, and strode towards Tan Feng.
Tan Feng snorted lowly and ignored Chen Ziyu who was walking towards him. He took a long step, passed him and walked straight to the cage. In the cage, Fan Sui had already stood up.
Chen Ziyu raised his head and looked at Tan Feng's back in astonishment. Tian Ji greeted him. "General Chen, just leave the things to me. Hot water, food, and wine have been prepared in the city. General Chen has come all the way to relieve his fatigue. As for the prisoners, just leave them to us."
Chen Ziyu wanted to say something more, but after looking back at Tan Feng's back, he swallowed his words again. "Thank you, and please lead the way."
Tian Ji waved his hand, and immediately a personal guard came out of the crowd and led Chen Ziyu and his party towards the city.
Tan Feng walked to the cage. He drew his sword with a choking sound, and the sharp blade passed by. The cage was split into two, and his hair was looking disheveled. Fan Sui looked haggard, Tan Feng smiled and said: "Fan Shoufu, welcome to Yingchuan."
Looking at the high-spirited Tan Feng.
Fan Sui smiled bitterly: "General Tan, if you act like this and greet me like this, many people will be unhappy, which is not good for you. It's better to be careful."
Tan Feng laughed loudly: "Fan Shoufu, I think the king has made his attitude clear by sending you to me. As for other people, do we need to consider it? The king said that this Yichuan will be It's up to you and me to work it out, Fan Shoufu, whether Da Qin can be brought back to life depends on how we work together in Yingchuan, right?" He pointed to the vast snowy field, "Over there in the distance is the Han Dynasty. The country's Yingshui, if the two of us fail, it won't be long before the rolling iron cavalry of the Han army comes from somewhere, and then we will have no choice but to use this Yingchuan as a burial place. "
"Okay, okay, since General Tan has such a great reward, I, Fan Sui, even though I am old, I have to make some troubles. This big ship of Da Qin is already riddled with holes, so let's try our best to repair it."
Jicheng, Han Palace, Xiaoyao Pavilion, it was warm as spring, the earth dragon was burning vigorously, and in the corner of the room, there was a brazier. Gao Yuan was sitting in front of the brazier, holding a book in one hand and another in the other. He poked a stick into the brazier from time to time, and on both sides of him, two little guys, Gao Zhiyuan and Gao Mingzhi, each had a small bench, sitting neatly on both sides of Gao Yuan, staring at the brazier eagerly.
Slowly, the aroma floated out from the brazier. Gao Yuan took a deep breath, "It smells so good!" He said intoxicatedly, while the two little guys beside him could not help but salivate. The throat goes up and down.
"Okay!" Gao Yuan threw aside the book in his hand, picked up the fire tongs from his feet, dug out a dark thing from the fire, put it to his mouth and kept blowing, bursts of The aroma floated from that dark guy throughout Xiaoyao Pavilion. Zhiyuan could still sit firmly on the bench, but Mingzhi had already stood up, holding Gao Yuan's knees with his little hands, looking at Gao Yuan pitifully with his eyes, and licking his lips from time to time.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, you can't eat hot tofu in a hurry." Gao Yuan tapped the black shell with his finger, lowered his head and said to the little guy.
"This is not tofu." The little guy retorted immediately.
"Yes, yes, it's not tofu. Dad, isn't this an analogy? Zhiyuan, bring the plate."
Gao Zhiyuan jumped up with a swish, took a plate from the table, but still held two spoons in his other hand, and swooped back again.
"Good guy, that's fast enough." Gao Yuan shook his head and exclaimed, "The temptation of delicious food is really great. Come on, sons, let's get started." He put the dark thing on the plate and picked it up with two fingers. With a little tear, a burst of heat floated out from the inside, and a golden color appeared in front of the father and son.
"The second brother comes first." Gao Yuan said with a smile: "The elder brother wants to take care of the younger brother, right?"
Gao Zhiyuan nodded, while Xiao Mingzhi happily inserted the spoon carefully along the torn area, gently scooped out a spoonful, and was not afraid of burning it. The ground breathed out.
"Slow down, slow down." Gao Yuan said quickly. "Okay, it's time for the boss."
Zhiyuan reached into the spoon and took a big spoonful, but it did not get cold in his mouth. Instead, he straightened his arm and handed it to Gao Yuan's mouth, "Father, eat first."
Gao Yuan was stunned at first, and then laughed, "Yes, this son is really well-raised, and he knows how to honor his father." He swallowed the delicious food in his mouth in one gulp, rolled his tongue and slapped it back and forth in his mouth. Go away. Then he swallowed it slowly, "Good guy, it's just a roasted sweet potato. It took me thinking about it for so many years before I could actually eat it."
This is a new crop brought by Kou Shuguang after he returned from his voyage. One of the tasks given to him by Gao Yuan during Kou Shuguang's voyage was to find some crops with high yields that did not require fertile land and could survive any planting and yield good harvests. crop. Gao Yuan specially made a list for Kou Shuguang and asked him to work hard to find these things.
Kou Shuguang never doubted how Gao Yuan knew these things. Anyway, if the king said he had it, he must have it. During this voyage, he finally discovered what the king called red potato. Its skin was red. , but after roasting, the inside is golden brown. It was very fragrant. Kou Shuguang brought back a total of two hundred kilograms and sent them to the palace. Gao Yuan felt like he had found a treasure.
But there are only two hundred kilograms in total. Gao Yuan planned to use it to make seeds. He resisted not roasting it and tasted it. Today was fine, but he could no longer resist the temptation of the memories and the aroma in his dreams. I secretly got a few out, and hid in Xiaoyao Pavilion with the two little guys to roast them for a taste.
It was the first time for the two little guys to eat this roasted red glutinous rice, and it was really a treasure. You take a spoonful and I take a spoonful. In a short time, I have eaten a big red glutinous rice clean. Xiao Mingzhi is still not satisfied. He picked up the black shell with both hands and gnawed it with his mouth until his face was black. Hui, Gao Yuan laughed happily.
The door of Xiaoyao Pavilion was gently pushed open, and Ye Jing'er, dressed in thick fur clothes, appeared at the door with an angry look on her face. She looked at the three men and shook her head and said: "Brother Gao, you are really too old. Your Majesty, you actually brought two little guys to steal it. At that time, you said that no one was allowed to touch this thing, and that it should be kept until next spring and find the best old farmer to plant it. "
Gao Yuan coughed twice and said awkwardly: "Just a taste. I only baked two. You came just in time. There is another one here. Come and try it too."
Ye Jing'er glanced at her father and slowly walked to the brazier. Zhiyuan stood up obediently and dragged the small stool to her mother's side.
Gao Yuan quickly dug out another red sweet potato from the brazier. Regardless of whether it was hot to his hands, he peeled off the skin and put the golden core into a small plate. He handed it to Ye Jing'er and said, "Try it."
The aroma in the dish was so tempting. Ye Jing'er finally couldn't help but taste a little bit. After a little taste, her eyes suddenly lit up, "Can this thing still taste like this? You never said that before."
"Of course I can't tell you. If I tell you, that greedy cat Yanzi will definitely steal him and roast him and eat it all. She is very skilled. If she steals it when I'm not around, you and Xin'er will definitely not be able to find it. , Mingzhi, don’t tell your mother that we ate this, otherwise dad will not take you to eat in the future.”
Lying on Gao Yuan's lap, Mingzhi nodded in understanding and said in a sweet voice, "I remember, I won't tell mother."
"It's too late!" Ye Jing'er smiled and said, "You brought two little guys here to bake, you think it's very secretive, Yan Zi went to the warehouse to get a few and ran away, and she said you asked her to go It's in Xiaoyao Pavilion. I came here to take a look because it sounded strange, but I didn't expect you were actually here."
Gao Yuan suddenly screamed, "No, I will find a place to hide the rest later. This thing is hard to come by."
"What is hard-earned? Now you are rich all over the world. What does such a small thing mean? Next time Kou Shuguang goes to sea, just ask him to bring back more." Ye Jing'er said with a smile.
"Jing'er, how can I be rich all over the world? I have always been so poor." Upon hearing this topic, Gao Yuan immediately grimaced, "Wang Wuyi came to me again yesterday to cry about poverty, saying that all the officials across the country have received a raise. After receiving the salary, everyone is calling the King Shengming, but they don’t know that the Ministry of Finance has added a huge amount of accounts. "
"I'm talking about our family." Ye Jing'er smiled and said, "This year, you received all the dividends from several companies and workshops. The total amount is more than five hundred thousand taels of silver!"
"So much!" Gao Yuan suddenly opened his mouth. "So, I have really become a little rich man. Hahaha, it feels good to be rich. Tomorrow, I will make a new set of clothes."
Listening to Gao Yuan's harmonious language, Ye Jing'er burst into laughter and said, "That's really serious." ’
"No!" Gao Yuan suddenly shouted.
"What's wrong with that?" Ye Jing'er looked at him strangely, "Isn't it good to get so many dividends?"
"I said, why did Wang Wudi come to me and cry poor for no reason? It turns out that he wants to get my money." Gao Yuan's brows were twisted into a "川" shape.
"How could Wang Wudi know that we got this dividend? The people who sent it said that these dividends to shareholders are confidential."
"Tax, tax!" Gao Yuan said unhappily: "Wang Wudi must have inferred their income through the taxes of these companies and workshops, and then roughly calculated my income. This bastard has not yet separated the national treasury from my private money. He wants to get my money whenever he wants. I will teach him a lesson later."
Looking at Gao Yuan's angry look, Ye Jing'er couldn't help laughing. (To be continued...)
