Li Er of the Tang Dynasty: Ancestor Xie is here!

Chapter 203 Zhao Kuangyin: Brother Huang is so conscientious in doing business!

On a freezing day, having a hot pot meal like this is definitely a treat for Bashi.

This time, Li Qing did not choose the authentic Lao Baijing hot pot, but chose the orthodox Cantonese-style hot pot.

"I'm going to pick my throat first." Liu Bang turned around and walked outside, leaving a group of people messy in the wind.

Good guy, Kunzi, are you working so hard? He even went so far as to pick his throat in order to eat.

Still the emperor! Don’t you want to lose face?

Kuniko obviously didn't have any idol baggage. After wandering around outside, he returned to the tent with the cold wind.

"Taotaotao, dip it in this sand tea sauce and feel comfortable." Li Qing greeted Liu Bang and quickly took his seat: "Bangzi, I'm waiting for you."

"Oh, here comes the Immortal Master." Liu Bang immediately came over and sat down with the small mazha. Not modest, he reached out and picked up a handful of chopsticks to eat the beef.

"Hey, what is this round thing?" Liu Bang said, picking up a huge beef ball.

Li Qing took a look and said with a smile: "Beef balls, do you want to try them?"

Liu Bang dipped it in the sand tea sauce, and it was not too hot, so he just popped it into his mouth.

"Not bad, not bad, oh, it's really chewy. How can you guys eat so well after hundreds of years?"

Liu Bang asked Li Shimin while reaching for food in the pot.

Li Shimin laughed: "How could it be possible? This is all thanks to my good brother."

Not to be outdone, he picked up a chopstick of beef and said, "Taking it to the Tang Dynasty, the food in the Tang Dynasty is actually not that good. Since my brother arrived in the Tang Dynasty, my living standard has been improving day by day. Look at the meat on my thighs. It’s grown.”

As he spoke, Li Shimin patted his thigh.

"Hahaha, this story about the rejuvenation of the buttocks is still the result of old Liu... Sun Tzu's exact words." Zhu Yuanzhang answered with a smile.

"My grandson?" Liu Bang said a lot of things in one breath, and asked curiously: "Why, is he famous?"

While talking, he didn't forget to use his chopsticks to eat the meat.

This hot pot was so delicious. When Liu Bang was eating, he still sighed in his heart. He lived the first half of his life in vain. He could only live in vain if he could eat such delicious food.

"Of course it's famous. The Taoyuan Three are sworn brothers." Li Qing took the meat and began to tell them about "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms".

Li Shimin, Zhao Kuangyin and Zhu Yuanzhang all found it very novel. The version they had always read was Chen Shouxiu's "Three Kingdoms". Where had they heard of this version? For a moment, I was mesmerized.

As an ancestor, Liu Bang must not be very happy - after all, Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty is too different from a human being. Liu Bang's face did not turn red when he ate hot pot, but his face turned red when he listened to the story. He wanted to pick up the hot pot and give it to Emperor Ling of the Han Dynasty. Come on for a dunk.

Li Qing was a slow-talking person, and he happened to be lazy. After talking for a while, his mouth started to get dry, so he simply played the high-definition remake of CCTV's "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" for them.

When he saw Dong Zhuo deposed, Liu Bang slapped his thigh, chewed his teeth and said: "Mother, don't let this Dong Zhuo fall into my hands, otherwise Nai Gong will definitely let him know how powerful he is!"

The decline of the Han Dynasty had reached such an extent that Liu Bang felt that his grandson who did not know how many generations had passed was about to become the Emperor of Zhou.

I recall that when Liu Bang entered Guanzhong, the people wholeheartedly welcomed him. The state of vitality and all things competing was still before his eyes. Could it be that only four hundred years later, we have suddenly reached that kind of situation?

When Cao Cao lamented, "The ministers of the Manchu Dynasty cried all night long, how could they cry to death for Dong Zhuo?" and asked Wang Yun to borrow a Qibao sword to assassinate Dong Zhuo. Liu Bang couldn't help but pat his thigh and praised: "This Cao Cao, He is indeed my loyal minister!"

The three emperors looked at each other and smiled, saying nothing.

In some respects, Cao Cao at this time was indeed a loyal minister of the Han Dynasty.

"The end of the Han Dynasty, I want to go too." Li Shimin looked at Cao Cao in the picture and said, "I don't want to see anyone, I just want to see Zhuge Wuhou."

"Not only do you think about it, we also think about it." Zhu Yuanzhang sniffed, "If you want to give us a Zhuge Wuhou, we have to..."

"Kill his nine tribes?" Zhao Kuangyin answered.

Recently, he hangs out with Lao Zhu all the time, and Zhao Kuangyin finally knows Lao Zhu's hobby - Nine Tribes Xiaoxiaole.

Lao Zhu smiled happily, reached out and slapped Zhao Kuangyin on the shoulder: "How can we be that kind of person? For a loyal and capable minister like Zhuge Wuhou, we can't even offer him in time!"

The CCTV version of "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms" is obviously an excellent meal. Several people watched this TV series until they saw the three heroes fighting Lu Bu.

"This Lu Bu is so brave." Li Shimin said with emotion, "That's it... was this really how we fought during the Three Kingdoms period? Did we fight first?"

"Hey, don't worry about these details." Li Qing said with a smile: "The most brave person since Xiang Yu is none other than Lu Bu."

This is true, after all, Lu Bu's bravery is also reflected in "Three Kingdoms". He has extraordinary physical strength and is good at riding and shooting. He is known as the "Flying General". Even Chen Shou commented on him, saying "Lü Bu has the courage of a fox and a tiger."

Well, the next sentence is that he has no brain.

After all, Lu Bu's brain has muscles, not brains.

When it comes to Xiang Yu, Liu Bang's expression is obviously not so good.

"What's wrong, Bangzi?" Li Qing asked kindly.

"It's okay, I miss Xiang Yu." Liu Bang took a bite of beef and said casually: "Since Xiang Yu's death, I have never been embarrassed again."

"Then you are surrounded by people like an iron bucket today, so you are not embarrassed?" Li Qing glanced at Liu Bang.

Liu Bang smiled: "Those who dare to fool children are just ordinary people. Why should we be afraid?"

At this point, Liu Bang lowered his head and said lowly to Li Qing: "Does the Immortal Master have a good plan to save Ji?"

Liu Bang's attitude was very respectful, highlighting his ability to bend and stretch, and even used the title he used to call himself before becoming emperor - Ji.

It means that there is really nothing I can do about the third child.

"Don't worry. Didn't I say that I would meet with Mao Dun tomorrow morning? Why are you so anxious that you want to leave now?" Li Qing asked with a smile.

Liu Bang shook his head and said: "There's no rush to leave. The Immortal Master said tomorrow morning, so let's do it tomorrow morning."

Li Qing and Liu Bang were chatting here, and Zhao Kuangyin and the three of them also started doing business over there.

Li Shimin was promoting Tang Dynasty's armored warships, and Zhu Yuanzhang was admiring him - Lao Li promised to give Lao Zhu a 20% commission on the profits after the project was completed, so Lao Zhu shouted so desperately.

"Is that armored ship you're talking about really that good?" Zhao Kuangyin was obviously very moved.

Is he short of money? He is not short of money at all.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask Brother Xian." Li Shimin said and shouted to the other end: "Brother Xian, brother Xian? Quickly show Lao Zhao the armored ship..."

Li Qing didn't say anything. He snapped his fingers and the screen changed to the armored ship of the Tang Dynasty.

In the picture, the roar of naval guns and the shaking of the earth not only broke the walls of Constantinople, but also broke the heart of Zhao Kuangyin.

What kind of ship is this? So majestic? I love him so much!

"This ship... must be quite expensive, right?" Liu Bang looked at the invincible iron-clad ship in ecstasy. It was impossible not to be moved.

But the Han Dynasty was so exhausted that he really had no money to buy such an armored ship.

"Not expensive, not expensive." Li Shimin glanced at Zhu Yuanzhang: "Lao Zhu bought two armored ships from me before, and it didn't cost much, right Lao Zhu?"

"Yes!" Lao Zhu nodded with a sacred look.

"Then... how much does one boat cost?" Zhao Kuangyin was obviously very excited.

Lao Zhu sucked Yahuazi for a long time, looked at Li Shimin, and after the other party nodded in confirmation, he stretched out his hand and made a sign of five. "Fifty million guan? Well... the price is reasonable." Zhao Kuangyin nodded, "Such a majestic armored ship is worth the price."

Zhu Yuanzhang glanced at Li Shimin, and everyone was stunned.

Good guy, everyone says that the Song Dynasty is rich and the Song Dynasty is rich. It seems you are really rich...

Zhao Kuangyin is also very helpless. I have conquered so many countries and collected hundreds of millions of goods from the national treasury alone. There is simply no way to waste all of them...

"I'm going to the toilet..." Zhu Yuanzhang took a deep breath, turned around and walked out of the tent.

"Brother Zhao, Brother Zhao, you're wrong, you're wrong." Li Shimin quickly held down Zhao Kuangyin, "Actually, this ship costs five million. If Brother Zhao wants it, we can add five to one, three ships, ten million ,how?"

"Brother Huang is so conscientious in doing business!" Zhao Kuangyin's eyes were filled with tears. Lao Li is really my half-brother!

There are still people doing this kind of business these days, and the discounts are even more... discounts?

"This ship... is less than 4 million?" Liu Bang was also shocked. He wanted to buy it, but he was a little hesitant - unlike the Song Dynasty and the Ming Dynasty, Liu Bang's main contradiction now focused on land, and the North There are Xiongnu, and there are princes and kings who are ready to move. It is useless for him to have an armored ship now, and he cannot sail on dry land.

"You're not in a hurry, you don't have any money in your pocket." Li Qing comforted Liu Bang and said, "You might as well change your perspective, such as buying some armor from the Tang Dynasty, and use it for the time being, and wait until you have money. Let’s build another ironclad ship.”

Liu Bang also saw that even if he bought the ship, it would be thrown into the dock to eat ashes. With those millions of taels of silver, it is better to replace it with the same armaments.

"Okay, then just listen to the Immortal Master." Liu Bang followed the good deeds and the Immortal Master would never harm him.

Besides, even if he was tricked, wouldn’t he still have to hold his nose and admit it?

"When you see the armies of the Tang and Ming Dynasties tomorrow, you will know what they use." Li Qing said with a smile: "Anyway, I can only say that it is worth the money."

"We'll see what happens next season." Liu Bang responded cheerfully.

Zhao Kuangyin was very happy with this impromptu transaction. A total of 13 million yuan was spent, 3 million to buy plate armor, and 10 million to buy three ironclad ships. In his opinion, it was really a profit.

Everyone liked the happy transaction, and Li Shimin also mentioned to Zhao Kuangyin that it was better to build than to buy. As the saying goes, it is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish. He had to find a way to set up the stall first.

Of course Zhao Kuangyin agreed, but he still needed the help of the Big Brother of the Tang Dynasty to branch out the industry.

When sleeping at night, the Han soldiers who had been trapped on Baishan Mountain for several days also experienced the long-lost warmth.

The cold wind a few days ago chilled people to the core. Not to mention sleeping in that tent, even if I burned a brazier in it, I couldn't fall asleep because it was bone-chillingly cold.

But since I changed my tent today, not only has the wind stopped coming in, but it’s also warm inside the tent. Coupled with the thing called a "sleeping bag", the Han soldiers felt that they had finally lived a human life after so many years.

The most important thing is to have two full meals today and have food in your stomach, which is the foundation to fight against the cold.

Different from scrambling to get up in the past, everyone was even a little reluctant to part with the warm sleeping bags the next morning.

"It's so comfortable." Chen Ping stretched his waist and walked out of the room. He looked up and saw Liu Bang brushing his teeth, spitting white foam from his mouth.

His heart skipped a beat, and he quickly stepped forward, hugged Liu Bang and shouted loudly: "Come here quickly, your Majesty has gone crazy with epilepsy..."

As he spoke, he put the rag in his hand into Liu Bang's mouth to prevent him from biting his tongue.

Liu Bang whined and struggled, unable to break free from Chen Ping's bear hug for a long time.

"Okay Chen Ping, let him down." Li Qing walked over from the side with a toothbrush in his mouth: "This is just a normal brushing. The foam in your mouth is caused by toothpaste - if you don't believe me, try it. ?”

"Really?" Chen Ping was doubtful, but based on the principle that what the immortal master said was correct, he let go of Liu Bang.

The first thing Liu Bang did when he was free was to turn around and give Chen Ping a kick.

"Damn you, Naigong was almost strangled to death by you!" He cursed viciously, turned around and vomited: "Naigong, just brush your teeth, vomit... this rag... vomit..."

Chen Ping knew that he was in trouble, so he didn't argue. Instead, he greased the soles of his feet and ran away with the toothpaste and toothbrush set given by Li Qing. That was fast.

Liu Bang pointed at Chen Ping's back and smiled helplessly.

He actually has a good temper, and Chen Ping also has good intentions, so he has no reason to blame him.

It's that smelly rag...it feels like it hasn't been washed in months...ugh...

What Chen Ping didn't say was that it was the rag he used to wipe his feet...

As for Nai Gong, who calls himself...it's Liu Bang's habit of speaking, just like the captain of a certain transportation brigade, he speaks for himself every time. Or a certain beard, one mouthful at a time, makes the whole face grow bigger.

Naigong means "your father and me". In fact, some boys often use it in daily life to recognize each other as each other's father.

Not only Liu Bang, but also Huainan Li Wang Liu Chang also liked to use this title. "Historical Records·Huainan Hengshan Biography" records the original words of Huainan Li Wang Liu Chang, who said to the waiter: "Who calls Nai Gong a brave man? How can I be brave?".

It can be said that he is Liu Bang's biological son.

Speaking of Hengshan, there is another interesting thing about the Hengshan Wang family. Prince Hengshan touched Queen Hengshan's thigh and said he wanted to sleep with her.

Maybe Li Zhi learned how to get along well with his father and son...

It should be noted that the princes and kings of the Western Han Dynasty were different from the various kings of later generations. They really had feudal states. The feudal kingdom was like a small court. The head wife was called the queen instead of the princess, and the prince was called the crown prince instead of the prince. Just like the unlucky Liu Xian who was smashed to death by the Han chess sage Liu Qi, he was the prince of Wu at that time.

This is also the reason why Liu Qi made up his mind to cut down the vassal vassal. The power of the princes and kings was so great that it was impossible to lose it.

At this time, Liu Bang was not only thinking about dealing with the Xiongnu, but also thinking about dealing with the kings with different surnames.

Breakfast is very casual, it's nothing more than steamed buns, tofu, soy milk and fried dough sticks. Everyone can choose according to their own preferences.

It is worth mentioning that, as a northerner, Li Qing did not provide sweet tofu at all.

Soy milk can only be sweet! Tofu brain can only be salty! This is Li Qing's bottom line! Don't give in an inch!

The Han army, who had never enjoyed delicious food, obviously didn't care whether the tofu cake should be sweet or salty. This is an issue that only those who have eaten enough would pay attention to. Before joining the army, they had trouble solving even basic food and clothing problems. , who cares whether it is sweet or salty? Just eat some.

The buns are all stuffed with pure meat, and the big buns stuffed with beef are enough. Therefore, all the soldiers of the Han army chose steamed buns, but few people chose fried dough sticks. Even the emperors and generals and lieutenants in the army chose big steamed buns stuffed with beef.

Without him, eating beef is not an easy thing these days, and it is such high-quality beef... only a fool would choose fried dough sticks!

Liu Bang looked at Li Qing, who was slowly eating fried dough sticks, as if he were a fool. He was puzzled as he watched, thinking that Li Qing was indeed an extraordinary fart from an immortal, and he actually preferred the plainer fried dough sticks.

"This bun is indeed delicious." Zhu Yuanzhang shook his head and commented: "Is this beef? It feels a bit like it when we eat it."

With that said, he raised the bowl and drank a bowl of tofu nao.

"It seems that Lao Zhu has a lot of experience in eating beef," Li Shimin joked from the side: "You don't know, our Cheng Yaojin, the cattle in our family often die in all kinds of weird ways. They die of diseases, falls, etc." Those who died, those who died of old age, those who hanged themselves, the most outrageous thing is that a cow fell to death because of her lover, and she also died of grief..."

"Hahahaha..." Everyone burst out laughing. This Cheng Yaojin is really a living treasure.

"I really didn't expect that Duke Lu actually has such a side." Zhao Kuangyin said, wiping tears from laughter.

Lao Zhu also laughed, and he said cheerfully: "We are not big eaters, but when we were herding cattle, we were really hungry, so together with our friends, we killed a calf for meat. ...Tsk, tsk, tsk, that taste, I will never forget it for the rest of my life, it was the most delicious meat we have ever eaten."

"Lao Zhu let the cow go?" Zhao Kuangyin and Liu Bang were both interested. Liu Bang, the youngest among them, was also a small landowner, and his family had considerable wealth, otherwise he would not have the capital to "be charitable".

"Of course we let it go, and we're not afraid of your jokes." When Lao Zhu said this, he put down the big bowl in his hand and said with a smile: "Not only did we let the cows go, we also farmed the land, worked as a monk, and had to eat. Overbandits.”

"But so what? Aren't we still the emperor now? No matter who mentions Zhu Yuanzhang's experience, he must give this a thumbs up." Zhu Yuanzhang gave a thumbs up.

"Brother Zhu, you are indeed this one!" Liu Bang took the lead in extending his thumb.

He has a chivalrous spirit and likes to make friends with heroes. He admired people like Zhu Yuanzhang who came from a humble background but could climb to the supreme position step by step.
