Great Wei Overlord

Chapter 387 The limit of the wine glass is wider at one end (one more)
Chapter 390

Murong Kai's face became hot for a while, and there was a kind of excited light in his eyes.His fists were tightly clenched, and he cheered excitedly in his heart: "This is the pride of our Dayan!"

Xie Ai looked thoughtfully at Ji Wei, his eyes became deeper.

Xie Ai recruited the attendants around him and said, "Where is the best restaurant in Ye City?"

The attendant thought for a while and said, "It should be the Mulan Pavilion. It is rumored that this is the property of King Jiaodong of Wei State. Even the tea served in it is imperial tea from the palace. As for the service inside, it is very good. It is not a very good one. Conspicuous flower wine needs to cost thousands of gold."

Xie Ai said: "That's right, I chose Mulan Pavilion. In the name of a certain person, I posted a post to General Ji, saying that I will entertain him at Mulan Pavilion tonight, and ask him to show his respect!"

The servant stepped back slowly.

Military exercises are still going on.

Three thousand armored soldiers rushed towards the fortifications like a black torrent.The heavy armored soldiers and the low wall in front are less than [-] steps away. Within this distance, even ordinary arrows may wear armor.

What's more serious is that the distance between these thirty steps is closely covered with horses, ditches and low walls.These three kinds of fortifications complement each other, and the addition of the three is definitely not as simple as one plus one plus one.

The heavy armored infantry in the front row raised their giant wooden shields against arrows.

"break"

"break!"

Three thousand armored soldiers roared in unison, majestic.

Although the wooden repelling horse successfully slowed down their forward speed, the delay did not last long. It took only half a stick of incense, and the jumbled repelling horse was chopped into rotten wood by giant axes and horizontal knives like paper.

After rejecting the horse, there are endless trenches.Countless soldiers jumped into the trench, and they used the shield as a bridge deck to form a simple battle bridge.Let the soldiers behind pass safely.

Wei Jun is like a machine, which cuts up horses and crosses trenches.Xie Ai was not surprised. This kind of heavy armored infantry does have a relatively strong advantage in breaking the formation. Unless it is blocked by trebuchets or fire walls, it can almost ignore the bow and arrow. Heavy armored soldiers can break through the enemy's position at a slight cost.

The survivor of the Yan army who had experienced the Battle of Liantai said in disbelief: "How is it possible, how is it possible. How could this be, it is impossible!"

I know that at that time, it was such a simple refusal of horses, trenches and low walls that could successfully stop the attack of tens of thousands of Yan troops.They tried many methods, light cavalry assault, heavy cavalry advance, tried all possible methods, but they failed to eliminate one tenth of their enemies.

But the facts were right in front of them, and they had to be convinced.

Their defeat was not because Jia was inferior to others, but because their skills were inferior to others.

Someone gloated and thought: "The low wall can finally stop them now!"

However, Wei Jun is destined to disappoint some people.Because the low wall is dead, if you can't cut it down with one knife, it will cost [-] yuan, if you can't cut it down with one axe, it will cost you two axes.The knives and axes flew like flying, and the soil fell like rain. After a short time, the low walls disappeared in front of everyone.

"It turned out to be like this!"

Murong Kai said: "With armor, it deserves its reputation!"

The military exercise was not particularly perfect, but everyone remembered that the armor of Wei Guo was too powerful.

At night, when Murong Kai was at his residence, he received the news that Tuo Baguang, the envoy of the Dai Kingdom, had sent him to contact Ji Wei.

How could Murong Kai have such detailed news?This is also because Wei Guo deliberately released water. In fact, there are all kinds of birds in the forest.Many of the more than 25 Han Chinese rescued by Ran Min from Yan State were diehard members of Yan State. They used various identities to investigate information for Yan State.

Murong Kai said: "It seems that we must also take action!"

"How to act?"

"Dai Guo must have rushed to approve the armor. They have seen the defensive capabilities of the equipment, and these armors are the rest of Wei's equipment, so they will definitely not charge too much." Murong Kai said angrily: "Dai Guo dare not be hostile to Wei Guo, but regards our Murong tribe of the same origin as enemies. If Dai Guo is equipped with armor and riding equipment, our Yan State will have no way to compete. Once the balance is broken, our Yan State will be in danger .”

The various Chinese cultures expressed with wine as a carrier well interpret the nature of the Chinese people.Because of the carrier of alcohol, people who hate each other can become friends, people who are strangers can also become friends, and friendly people can cut off contact.Compared with all people in the world, the Chinese have a paranoid love for wine.

Drinking alcohol in China is a means and a symbol to shorten the distance between people.

As the saying goes, "One end of the wine glass, the policy is lenient!"

Over time, the wine table has formed an important means of public relations in officialdom and shopping malls. In China, "guanxi" is a labyrinth-like network, and it is difficult for outsiders to see the mystery of it. Maintaining this maze requires expensive costs, and wine is one of them.Although wine is a good carrier, for each other, drinking for the first time will definitely not be at home.

For wine, the Chinese have a special meaning.

As the saying goes, don't seek the most delicious, but seek the most expensive.is one of the requirements.Treating guests in expensive places is a very face-saving matter for both parties.

The Mulan Pavilion created by Ran Ming has become a fashion highlight in Yecheng.

In Mulan Pavilion, you can not only enjoy the supreme hospitality.

The main Qing girls are maids from the Ranwei Imperial Palace. They don't have the dusty atmosphere of brothel women, but have a kind of graceful and luxurious temperament. No matter how powerful the brothel is, it is impossible to have Naturally, the cultural background of the imperial palace cannot cultivate beauties with this temperament.

It is the rare thing that is the most precious, and it is the unique business in this world that gives Ran Ming absolute confidence.

Mulan Pavilion not only has the most supreme service, but also has absolutely delicious dishes.

Ran Ming plagiarized the stir-fry cooking method invented during the Song Dynasty, and created a business model for private kitchens in this era.Of course, when the banquet is in progress, guests can not only listen to music and watch dances like other restaurants, but also have a narrative stage play to enjoy. Of course, as a brothel-like business ambition, all the girls here are performing arts rather than selling themselves Yes, it is the so-called can see but not eat, no matter how much money you have, no matter how powerful you are, as the only clan prince in the entire Wei Kingdom, no one dares to find fault with Ran Ming.

So many business innovations.

Let Mulan Pavilion become the most expensive place in the whole world.

In order to get a seat in Mulan Pavilion, Xie Ai spent a full hundred gold to buy a private room from Mulan Pavilion.

There is no way, the business model of Mulan Pavilion is opened in three years, and it takes three years after opening.

In Mulan Pavilion, the number of guests received every day is limited, no more, no less, and only six tables of banquets are accepted.For the so-called six-table banquet, the minimum consumption needs to be at least [-] gold.

For the two hundred gold, if you buy rice, you can buy more than two thousand stones, which is equivalent to more than 100 tons.

Even in later generations, this kind of consumption can be called sky-high price!
One meal needs to eat the rent of [-] mu of fertile land for one year, but there are many people who eat in Mulange who have the ability to eat like this.

Most of Wei's start-ups, especially the emerging nobles who started their careers with military exploits, came from grass roots. Although they have power, they have also received a lot of rewards.The nouveau riche are always not as well-established as the gentry.

Even if Ji Li is Ran Min's confidant, as Sili Xiaowei and General Wei.This is equivalent to the Sima Yuan of the Beijing Army Garrison District in later generations, a general who can command the imperial army and palace guards, even if he is the minister of the dynasty, he should be treated with three points of courtesy.It's just such a person who holds real power, he just never came to Mulan Pavilion for dinner.

Rang Jizhen is also more uncomfortable. He is also an official, so why is his life so hard?

Ji Li is also rather depressed, there is no way who can call his identity more sensitive?
Ji Wei is in charge of the garrison and the forbidden army in the capital. If the ministers intersect with him, what will the emperor think?Even if he intends to make friends with Ji Wei, there are too many fears.Except for a group of poor relatives who came to the door from time to time to fight the autumn wind, the elites of the gentry drew a clear line with Ji Wei.

Xie Ai was also from the Han clan, and he spent almost [-] gold in order to entertain Ji Zhen, which almost broke Xie Ai's heart.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Ji Li was sweating profusely from eating and flushed from drinking.If Ran Min hadn't given him private instructions, he wouldn't have dared to accept Xie Ai's invitation.

This is thanks to Xie Ai, as Zhang Chonghua's trusted confidant during his lifetime, Xie Ai and Ji Wei are also equal in status, both are General Wei.Seeing that Ji Li was three points drunk, Xie Ai didn't dare to pretend to be reserved anymore.If you keep on pretending, I'm afraid that Ji Lian is really drunk, and his bloody banquet this time is considered a waste of time.

Xie Ai waved the maid away calmly and emptied the private room.At this time, Xie An personally asked Ji Wei to pour a glass of wine, Xie Ai smiled respectfully and said: "General Ji, Xie has something important to ask today!"

Although Ji Li appeared to be rude, he was actually very careful, otherwise General Wei would not have been able to take such a high and powerful position.You must know the land of the capital, but it will affect the whole body, and there is no room for carelessness and sloppy. Loyalty alone is not enough.In addition to being loyal, you must also have sufficient ability.Ji Wei served as a lieutenant of Sili for five years, and he was appointed as the Marquis of Lantian, which is enough to prove his extraordinary.

"You are as old as a certain person, and you are so out of touch compared to that?" Ji Li said seemingly casually: "Brother Xie's business is my business, but whatever I can do, I will definitely not let Brother Xie down!"

Xie Ai said: "Brother Ji is right. You also know that our Liang country has always valued peace, loves peace, and has always respected Wei. However, recently the Western Regions Protectorate has not been peaceful. There have been some horse bandits. These horse bandits The leader's name is Mashasar, and there are no less than ten thousand bandits under his command. These horse bandits are doing murderous business, often robbing the passing merchants and business trips. From time to time, they also invade the towns under the brother's control. No, my lord Knowing this, he was shocked and ordered Ai Baozeng to secure the people and eliminate this group of bandits! But this Mashasar is a military prodigy and his troops are all fierce and brutal. Ai sent troops to wipe them out several times, but to no avail , but lost soldiers and lost generals."
