Chapter 1333: Han Banner World (Twenty-Three) Wine Talk
After Gao Yuan's car arrived near Dayan County City, the honor guard and others continued to move towards Dayan County City, but Gao Yuan himself only led a dozen guards and light cavalry towards Dayan Lake.
Returning to the prairie again, facing the vast green land, Gao Yuan couldn't help but feel proud. Zidian under his crotch was also so excited that he neighed. Gao Yuan lightly clamped his legs, and it flew out like an arrow. .
"Wei Yuan, Wu Ya, don't you two often boast that you are a strong general on horseback, how dare you compete with me?" Gao Yuan turned around and laughed loudly.
"Your Majesty, you are waiting for us." The two generals were also happy to see the hunter. Even though there was a horse farm for training in Jicheng, no matter how good the horse farm was, how could it compare to the thousands of miles of grassland in front of them. The two of them are also famous horses in the world. Even if they are not comparable to the king's purple lightning, they are extremely rare and cannot be compared to the king. , but the two can actually compete. The one who followed the two to defend Gao Yuan was not a good player right away. Now that he had this great opportunity to compete openly, he was naturally overjoyed.
A group of people were waiting, chasing each other, and in an instant, they turned into a string of black spots on the grassland. Gao Yuan's horse was so fast that except for He Weiyuan and Wu Ya who could barely keep up, the other guards had already been thrown away and disappeared.
The journey of dozens of miles passed in an instant. He stretched out his hand to touch Zidian's body, and a slight sweat appeared. Gao Yuan slowly slowed down the horse's speed and trotted forward. It was only then that He Weiyuan and Wu Ya behind him caught up. When they came up, the two of them were neck and neck, and neither one took advantage of the other.
"The king is so powerful that I am willing to be defeated." Wu Ya said to Gao Yuan sincerely: "On this journey, the best I can do is to prevent the king's back from disappearing from my sight."
Gao Yuan laughed: "It's much worse than before. Zidian has also gained some weight in the palace in the past few years. He is no longer as brave as he used to be."
As if he understood Gao Yuan's words, Zidian turned his head and snorted loudly, as if to refute Gao Yuan's words, causing the three of them to laugh.
"Your Majesty, the Dayan Lake is just ahead. Look, the scenery here is so beautiful." He Weiyuan pointed to the Dayan Lake ahead, where the blue waves reflected the woods on the shore.
"What's even more beautiful are the villages and the rising smoke!" Gao Yuan said with emotion: "When we first arrived here, it was a deserted place, but look at it now, no matter how beautiful the place is, there is no human habitation. There won’t be any spirit! Let’s go and see our old friends.”
The three of them walked slowly along the bank of Dayan Lake, but what they saw was nothing. But Gao Yuan was shocked. The owners of these villages by Dayan Lake were actually gathering together to have a feast at this moment.
“It seems like they’re getting along well.
"Gao Yuan looked back at the two people and said.
"Only the king has this ability. Not only is he not afraid of these people making trouble, he actually brings them together. This was unimaginable before." He Weiyuan said with a smile.
"The winner is the king, the loser is the bandit. Either you die or I die. Why can't this pattern be changed?" Gao Yuan got off his horse. "We, the Han, are big-hearted enough to accommodate our former enemies. Qianwei and Qi have been able to integrate into our system so quickly, and they must have contributed a lot."
Gao Yuan dismounted to show respect for the people living here, and at this moment. The old people who discovered them also walked towards him.
"I have met the king." Led by Jiang Jiaquan, a group of people clasped their fists and bowed their hands in salute to Gao Yuan. Even Zhao Wuji, who looked a little hesitant, sat in a wheelchair and bowed slightly.
"There is no need to be polite. Today Gao Yuan is not here as the King of Han. In front of you, Gao Yuan is still a young boy!" Gao Yuan laughed and returned the salute to everyone.
"Mr. Jiang, are you still used to living here?"
"Get used to it." Jiang Jiaquan smiled and tilted his head, "Look, your Majesty, I have new black hair on top of my white hair. It suits me very well here. I read books, make tea, fish, and chat with these old friends every day. I am planning to have another fight with God to see if I can live for another few decades. "
"Mr. Jiang naturally has a good chance of winning." Gao Yuan said with a smile, turning to look at Zhou Yuan beside him, "The Taiwei is still as strong as before, which is gratifying. Is Yuyao okay? My son can now Tiantian is holding her in her mouth. When I came this time, Jing'er was still talking about taking Yuyao to Jicheng to study with Zhiyuan? "
Zhou Yuan smiled and said: "That's good of course. I heard that new schools are being established in Jicheng now, and the things we learn are very different from the education we received before. I'm also worried that Xiao Yuyao will not be able to keep up with the changes of the times in the future. It’s certainly a good thing to be able to study in Jicheng.”
"Okay, it's settled. When I return to Jicheng, I will take my daughter-in-law with me!" Gao Yuan said.
Everyone laughed again.
"Everyone, please stop standing. The grilled fish over there is just right. It's rare for the king to come here. Let's eat fish, drink wine and talk at the same time!" Zhou Yuan said to everyone with a smile. His current status is relatively transcendent. His youngest granddaughter is engaged to Gao Yuan's eldest son. Speaking of which, he has become Gao Yuan's elder.
The sky is a dome and the ground is a felt. Everyone except Zhao Wuji is sitting on the floor. The glasses are filled with amber wine. The fish grilled by Zhou Yuan himself are put on the plate one by one and delivered to everyone. Take a bite of the fish. After taking a sip of wine, everyone chatted and laughed, with no grudges at all. It seemed that no one had ever been a life-or-death opponent before.
"Seeing that everyone is very comfortable and happy here, I feel relieved." Gao Yuan raised his wine glass, "If you have any needs, just ask them and they will be met."
"Everything is fine, but the spices in this grilled fish are always insufficient. It would be better if the king can send more in the future." Zhou Yuan said with a smile.
"There will be." Gao Yuan said: "These unique spices come from overseas. They are expensive and ordinary people cannot afford them. So since these things were discovered, I have been arranging for people to conduct localized trial planting. This year, we should be able to harvest the first crop, and in another year or two, you can have as much as you want.”
"Did it succeed?" Zhou Yuan was overjoyed.
"Of course, this is not something extraordinary. Well, we have brought a lot of new things in the past two years, and they will become popular soon."
"There's something new, what is that?"
"I call it pepper. Well, it's a very good thing. I think it will soon become a popular dish in Dayan County." Gao Yuan thought of the harvest of Chaotian pepper on the acre of land he was trying to plant. After that, he walked to the dining table for the first time and made countless people run and jump in the yard and drink water. For this reason, he was refused by three ladies for ten days to enter their bedrooms. As a joke, he let himself A heavy price was paid.
But pepper is really a good thing. With him, how many delicious dishes can you make? In the previous life, the spicy Sichuan food was always my favorite.
"I brought some for you this time, but I won't be able to deliver them until later. I slipped away and took the guards here to visit you."
"The king has brought him here, great!" Zhou Yuan was overjoyed.
Gao Yuan snickered in his heart, 3617/'>I hope you won't imitate the guards in the palace, running around and jumping around and pouring water. That Chaotian Pepper is really not built.
Zhao Wuji, who had been sitting silently on the side, suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I wonder how Handan is doing now?"
As soon as these words came out, the room suddenly became quiet. Wei Ji and Tian Kang lowered their heads uneasily, and unconsciously poked at the grilled fish on the plate in front of them with the chopsticks in their hands. They had special status, and some things were... I don’t want to mention it and I don’t dare to mention it.
Gao Yuan was also stunned for a moment, but he soon returned to normal, "Now Handan has become a big construction site, with construction going on everywhere. In addition to hardening the road surface, the city is also being re-planned. Handan is a former Zhao State." The largest city and the most prosperous city will also be the economic and cultural center of that area in the future. After King Zhao is well, he might as well go back and visit. "
Zhao Wuji was startled, "Can I go back and take a look?"
"Why not?" Gao Yuan laughed and drank the glass of wine. "After King Zhao gets well, he can go back at any time. When the time comes, tell Sheriff Dayan and ask him to send someone to escort you back. Where were you born? , where I grew up, it’s understandable to feel homesick. Not only you, but also King Wei and King Qi can go back to your hometown to have a look.”
Zhao Wuji's face turned bright red, he took a deep look at Gao Yuan, and shook his head, "No need, as long as you know where the good place is, it's enough. Dayan Lake is very good, I don't want to travel long distances anymore, just here. Live forever."
Wei Wang Wei Ji and Qi Wang Tian Kang also said in unison that they did not want to go back and it was a good place.
Gao Yuan smiled slightly. Now whether Zhao, Qi or Wei have been completely integrated into the Han system, what will happen if they go back? Is it possible that some people will be willing to go back to the old days? ? Whether they go back or not, they are already passers-by in history after all.
"Prime Minister Tian." Gao Yuan raised his glass to Tian Dan, "I heard that Mr. Tian is now the most famous councilor in Dayan County. Dayan County is about to hold a pilot county governor election. Mr. Tian's voice But it’s the best, even Sun Xiao is full of praise?”
Tian Dan's face changed color slightly. He once urged his son not to get involved in government affairs, but this son couldn't bear the loneliness. In the past few years, he has made a big name in Dayan County. , for Tian, he didn't know whether it was a disaster or a blessing.
"You're arrogant, how can he compare with Sun Duhu with his little ability?" Tian Dan shook his head.
"That's not necessarily true. Sun Xiao will leave office soon." Gao Yuan said. "I heard from Sun Xiao that the one who is most likely to win the general election is your young master. In fact, Mr. Tian once took charge of the government of a country when he was in Qi State. He was in charge of Dayan County. Then, It’s really overkill.” (To be continued…)
