Tang Ji led them to visit and returned to her court.
Along the way, people kept stopping her and asking for instructions on some things. She arranged them in just a few words. It was obvious that she often did such things.
Xun Wenqian was envious and a little regretful.
If she does not enter the palace, she can also rely on her intelligence and talent to establish herself in the world like Tang Ji, without relying on men.
Tang Ji sent someone to serve the tea and enthusiastically invited Mrs. Tang to taste it. "This is a good tea in Shuzhong, accompanied by fresh goat milk. The taste is different from that in the Central Plains. You must try it. People in the shop like to drink it the most. Not only
It can refresh your spirits, and also fill your hunger and quench your thirst.”
"Goat Milk?" Looking at the light brown tea soup in front of him, Mrs. Tang frowned.
The Xun family is also a big family. They eat a lot of beef and mutton, but they don’t drink much beef and goat milk. It’s the first time that they mix goat milk with tea. That weird smell makes it difficult to adapt to.
Xun Wenqian picked up the cup, tasted it lightly, and then smiled and said, "It tastes really good. My mother, you taste it, it's really fragrant. After adding goat milk, the bitterness of the tea became lighter, and then
The spicy and sweet taste of the ginger without onions.”
Mrs. Tang barely took a bite, but still couldn't adapt.
After Xun Wenqian finished drinking his own, she brought Mrs. Tang's over and drank it together.
Tang Ji smiled and said, "Since you like to drink, you don't have to worry about your diet when you come to the emperor in the future. There are many cattle and sheep in the northern border, and there are also many meat and milk in normal times. Some people in the Central Plains would not be able to adapt in the past, but some just don't like this.
Some tastes are easy to get diarrhea. However, this milk and goat milk are all good things, which can make people strong and have good skin."
"Are there a lot of cattle and sheep in Hedong?"
"Hedong is full of mountains, and it is the habit of grazing cattle and sheep. After the emperor's expedition, he sent some cattle and sheep to the people for breeding, either for farming, or as a source of meat and milk." Tang Ji showed a hint of pride.
Smile. "The paper shop has some good sheep because it provides royal paper, so you can drink this fragrant milk tea."
"What's the difference between this sheep?"
"This is the milk of Aries on the Sheyan Lake in the northern part of the north. It is said that wild wolfberry is abundant there. Aries often eat wild wolfberry, and the meat milk produced is more nourishing. Don't rush to leave, I will order someone to kill a white one at night
Sheep, please try it.”
Xun Yun said dissatisfiedly: "Aunt, you are so partial. I have been here several times, but you didn't invite me to mutton."
Tang Ji held back her smile. "Your mother and Wen Qian are new guests, so you must treat them well. You often come and invite you to eat mutton every time. Who can afford it? You don't know that now the entire Hedong County is now
There are not many people who can eat meat every now and then. Although our paper shop is better, it is just a piece of meat every day. This Aries is precious and is kept for milk production, so I can't bear to eat it."
Xun Yun was still waiting for it to be said, but Mrs. Tang glared at her and closed her mouth angrily.
The mutton was delicious, Tang Ji was enthusiastic and thoughtful, and the homework in the paper workshop was eye-opening. Mrs. Tang and Xun Wenqian returned with a knife of new paper from Tang Ji and were satisfied.
Xun Yun was also very satisfied, smacking his lips, savoring the fragrance, and leisurely.
Mrs. Tang was so funny, but Xun Wenqian found it interesting. She wanted to ride a horse with Xun Yun, but her clothes were inconvenient, so she could only lie on the car window and chat with Xun Yun.
“Is the mutton so delicious?”
"You don't know if it tastes delicious?" Xun Yun rolled her eyes and retorted.
Although he ate a lot, Xun Wenqian was not inferior to him.
"This Aries is indeed delicious, but you are the son of the prefect and have the additional officer of the Langguan. Is it that you have no meat to eat?"
"It's really not. Haven't you heard from my aunt? Nowadays, there are only a few people who can eat meat every day in Hedong County. No matter how high or low other people are, they can eat meat during festivals. Paper shops, iron officials, and salt officials are exceptions
, because they have money. Especially the paper shop, which is owned by private owners. Iron and salt officials are all official, so the restrictions on spending money are much greater."
Xun Yun smiled and said, "Otherwise, can my aunt be so bold?"
"The officials can bear it?"
"They can't stand it and the ones can't stand it." Xun Yun's smile fainted and he snorted disdainfully. "The emperors all dressed in a rough manner and shared the joys and sorrows with ordinary soldiers. They were taught by the saints,
But I can't stand the hardships at this moment, and it's useless to stay. Leaving early and worrying."
"The emperor has no meat to eat?" Mrs. Tang was surprised.
"When we had no meat to eat, he didn't eat either. But now he defeated the Xianbei and seized a large number of cattle and sheep, it might be better." Xun Yun thought for a while and said: "There is more meat and milk in the northern border, and there are few vegetables and vegetables.
It is slightly different from Hedong, but it is not much better. As my aunt said, cattle and sheep must be kept for milk and will not eat meat easily."
"So, the emperor is indeed the emperor?" Xun Wenqian blinked.
Xun Yun leaned over and said in Xun Wenqian's ear: "The emperor is not only wise, but also beautiful."
"Du!" Xun Wenqian spat. "A man should be talented and ambitious. Who cares about beauty or not?" She paused and said, "No matter how beautiful it is, can it be more beautiful than his father?"
Xun Yun laughed. "Their beauty is different. The father is as beautiful as jade, and the emperor is as beautiful as a mountain."
"As beautiful as a mountain?"
Xun Yun turned around and pointed to Huashan in the distance. "I left the world independent, looked far away from a high place, and looked down on all living beings."
Xun Wenqian's eyes flashed, as if he was thinking.
Iron Officer.
Pei Qian held his hands behind his back and looked at the officers and workers standing in front of him in several rows, and coughed gently.
"The emperor has issued an edict to defeat the armor and armor made by the Xiongnu, Xianbei, and our iron officials. The armor and weapons played an important role. All of you are meritorious, and each of them is given a title of one level and a sum of 10,000 yuan."
Everyone was overjoyed, looked at each other, and laughed out loud.
Pei Qian raised his hand and signaled everyone to be quiet. "The emperor attaches importance to all craftsmen. He has ordered that he will no longer be called a craftsman in the future, and will be renamed as a teacher and a scholar. This time the title is given a title, which is different from the previous title. In the future, promotions and promotions will be carried out.
It is equivalent to a title, and salary is no exception."
Someone shouted happily. "So, can we all increase our salary this time?"
Pei Qian nodded and raised his lips slightly. "Yes."
Although this sound was not loud, it hit everyone's excitement.
For a moment, everyone cheered.
A reward of 10,000 yuan is temporary, but an increase in salary is a long flow of water, and the accumulation of small amounts can make you better life.
To change craftsmen into teachers, scholars are honors, some people care about them, and some people don’t care. Granting titles and salary increases is a real benefit, and no one doesn’t care.
Even in front of Pei Qian, they couldn't help but get carried away.
After they were happy for a while, Pei Qian once again signaled everyone to be quiet.
"The emperor defeated the Xianbei people and the northern border was stable, but it was still far from long-term stability. Therefore, the emperor needed more armor and weapons to rebuild the border army, and the salt and iron officials would be re-established in Xihe. For this reason, it is necessary to get iron from Hedong.
The official dispatched a group of capable personnel to go to Xihe County to pacify."
The smiles on everyone's faces disappeared immediately.
Xihe has been abandoned for a long time. Even if the emperor stabilized the northern border, life was still difficult and it would definitely not be comparable to Hedong. I just settled down and lived a more relaxed life. Who would be willing to leave Hedong and start from scratch in Xihe?
Pei Qian had expected it and said lightly: "Xihe Iron Officials are the same as Hedong Iron Officials. They are directly under the Shaofu, and officials and teachers are the same as the existing system. However, those who go to Xihe will be given a regular first-class title, which will be one month a year.
A family visit holiday. After five years, you can choose to stay in Xihe or return to Hedong. In the future, whether you are rewarded or promoted, those who have experience in Xihe will be given priority. Those who are interested can declare on their own and will never force them.”
He paused, bowed his hand again, and said solemnly: "I will lead the team to Xihe, and I hope to get the help of you."
