Hearing this, Lin Hai looked happy, cupped his fists and said, "I would like to inform the Marquis of Chu that I studied this dish and brought this monkey from home. I spent a lot of effort to catch this live monkey.
"
"saliva!"
Liu Cong spat out the monkey brain in his mouth and said, "You can't bite it. Do you like to eat living animals?"
Lin Hai greeted the people around him, "Why don't you give Chu Hou some soup?"
Then he said to Liu Cong, "I like to study food at home. I believe that eating living animals can keep the food fresh."
Liu Cong drank water and rinsed his mouth and said, "Can't you tell, you look so gentle, but your methods are so ruthless? Don't you think it's a bit too cruel to the living beings?"
Lin Hai hurriedly knelt down and said, "Chu Hou, I feel that although this way of eating is a bit cruel, it is extremely delicious."
While Lin Hai was talking, people around him filled the soup pot with soup and poured it on the monkey's brain.
"Squeak! Squeak..."
The monkey was not completely dead yet. It was stimulated and started making random noises again, wailing in pain, but it could not break away from the iron chain tied to its body. The soup flowed out of the monkey's ears and nose.
This tragic look, such a cruel scene, made even the Bai Zhan personal guards around Liu Cong feel numb when they saw it.
Lin Hai continued, "Chu Hou, listen to it, enjoy the delicious food and listen to it scream at the same time. It feels like being tickled."
When material conditions are sufficient, there will always be people who like and pursue another kind of perversion that is different from ordinary people.
Liu Cong slapped the chopsticks in his hand on the table and stared at him coldly, "What are you going to do, puppy?"
Lin Hai smiled and said, "Chu Hou, of course you eat the puppy in a rinse. The puppy is only a month old, and the meat is delicate and tender."
"I don't like official career either. I heard that you also like to invent delicious food. I wonder if the Marquis of Chu would be willing to give me some advice?"
Liu Cong wiped his mouth and said, "I have nothing to communicate with you. Xing Daorong, please take down these people."
"promise!"
A group of personal guards had long been unhappy with this beast with a human face and an animal heart, and quickly stepped forward to take him away.
Lin Hai was led to kneel on the ground and looked at Liu Cong with a panicked face, "Chu Hou, why did you arrest us?"
Liu Cong squinted at the monkey in the cage and said coldly, "The way you eat is too cruel. Even a tiger, the king of beasts, kills its prey first before eating. You
As a human being, the leader of all spirits, to actually eat in this way, you are simply worse than an animal!"
Lin Hai struggled under the oppression of the soldiers, like a monkey struggling in a cage just now, "May I ask the Marquis of Chu. Is there any explicit law that stipulates that you are not allowed to eat live animals?"
"Are you still with Gu Bang?" Liu Cong stood up and paced and said, "Gu just condemned the way you eat like this, but he didn't say that he would punish you for it."
As he spoke, Liu Cong pointed to the man standing not far behind him and said, "Is it true that you don't pay for meals? Is it true that you beat people? Is it true that you buy and sell by force? These reasons are not enough to arrest you? Or are they?
Can’t we convict you?”
Lin Hai's face changed, "Chu Hou, these common people, what's so pitiful about them, what's so scary about them? People are born into different levels, why should they make decisions for these common people?"
"Don't you know, Marquis of Chu, that to govern Jiangdong, you have to rely on aristocratic families?! You can't arrest me, I'm from the Lin family! The Lin family has more than two thousand people, and you still have to rely on us!"
"Boom!"
Liu Cong was so angry that he stepped forward and kicked Lin Hai in the face, "It's because of a bastard like you that the prince and general Xiang Ning can roar like this!"
"To govern Jiangdong alone, I need to rely on you. Don't you feel too good about yourself? Take him down and hand them over to Yu Fan. I don't want to chat with this bastard here anymore."
"promise!"
Looking at the monkey struggling slightly in the cage with a pleading look in his eyes, Liu Cong sighed and said, "Xing Daorong, give it a good time."
Liu Cong was originally in a good mood with Da Qiao as his companion, but unfortunately after what happened just now, he was thinking about other issues while eating.
Since the government supported commercial activities and business development, the speed of business prosperity surprised him, but various problems have arisen.
Businessmen value profits and have no regard for the country, let alone the people. How many truly conscientious businessmen are there?
Just talking about the catering industry, Lin Hai's preference is only part of the problem. There are also many problems such as hygiene and quality, and there are still no professional people to supervise and manage them.
In fact, it is the aristocratic families that make the most money in business development. They have huge original capital, and their investment in capital, manpower and material resources is not comparable to that of ordinary people.
The Jingchu family resisted more than once, and those who rebelled were ruthlessly suppressed by Liu Cong. There were also some people who were working honestly as officials or cooperating with the government.
Or maybe they are accumulating strength and waiting for an excellent opportunity. But Liu Cong will not give up the attack on the aristocratic family, and the restrictions on land annexation cannot be relaxed.
He has the military and the people's hearts in his hands, he still controls public opinion, and he has the most resources. There is nothing to be afraid of.
The only thing that makes Liu Cong fearful is that the scholars in Jingchu and Jiangdong are not so ignorant in Jingchu's case.
Jiangdong, Yu Fan has been in office for a month, and he still hasn't handled this matter well. Doesn't he know? How is it possible? Everyone has complained to the government.
Important ministers like Yu Fan who have left their mark in history have such thoughts, so naturally there is no need for others to say more.
But these things are imperative!
If he doesn't do it, who would dare? Does his son dare to provoke these people? Can he deal with it?
If he doesn't do it, the family will become bigger and bigger, and by then, future generations will be unable to escape the control of the family.
Among the wealthy families in history, Cao Pi first compromised in order to become emperor, and the nine-rank Zhongzheng system resulted in the upper-ranked families having no poor families and the lower-ranked families having no noble families.
The Northern and Southern Dynasties have been in chaos for hundreds of years, and the people's lives have been difficult, but these aristocratic families have become stronger and stronger.
During the Sui Dynasty, Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Goguryeo. Although it was a bad move, it also consumed part of the strength of the Guanlong family.
In the Tang Dynasty, the famous Qiwang of the Five Surnames was not even willing to marry Li Shimin's daughter. He also looked down on the Li family royal family because of the bloodline issue.
The Sui and Tang Dynasties were the peak period of the development of aristocratic families. Since the Tang Dynasty, it is rare to see wealthy aristocratic families that can threaten the imperial power or even control local rebellions.
Corrupt officials only became more common after the Tang Dynasty. The reason is that after the Tang Dynasty, the social system had been perfected, the status of imperial power was slowly improving, and the wealthy families eventually declined in the long river of history.
In the Qing Dynasty, Emperor Yongzheng's drastic reforms offended the landlords and gentry class. Did the Qing Empire collapse? No!
Not only that, when Yongzheng died, nearly 35 million taels of silver had been accumulated in the national treasury!
Even though he was scolded the most, his empire was gradually getting better. This also shows that all the powers of wealthy families are just paper tigers.
The carriage was rocking continuously, and Liu Cong fell asleep in a daze while lying on Da Qiao's lap.
[Author's digression]: I opened Tomato and looked at it in the past two days, and the novel is also available on Tomato. The reviews in the comment area are not very good, and there are a lot of curses. I am here to discuss some issues in the comment area with you readers.
one time.
Let’s first talk about the story about fighting for hegemony. The protagonist has traveled from modern times to the past. Is it reasonable for you to expect him to be called a qualified and mature hero?
As a man, shouldn't he protect his wife and children? The protagonist has never been in love in his previous life, and the heroine is his first love. Which man would not protect his wife's first love with all his strength? Besides, it was an emergency, he didn't care.
Do you watch Sun Shangxiang and the child in your belly being shot to death?
Besides, he demoted his wife to a concubine. I think this reader didn’t read it carefully. The daughter of the Cai family was replaced by a common wife. The marriage between the protagonist and the Cai family was only verbally mentioned by Liu Biao, and there was no appointment.
Right? The protagonist has never met the daughter of the Cai family, so why is he so ruthless?
The protagonist is besieged in Jiangxia, and Cai Mao does not support the rescue. This is Liu Biao's small revenge on the Cai family. The protagonist is taking the path of suppressing the aristocratic family, can he marry a woman from the aristocratic family as his head wife?
Another problem is the aristocratic family. You say that Wang Mang would end up badly if he did this. Yes, the thought of being ahead of the times is indeed counterproductive. If Liu Xiu had not been forced to do so, would Wang Mang have been killed? The aristocratic family has not experienced the development of the Southern and Northern Dynasties, and it is far from it.
Reaching the peak of the Sui and Tang Dynasties, if we don’t deal with them at this time, are we waiting for them to devour the foundation of the country? In history, Emperor Yongzheng carried out drastic reforms. What happened to the landlords and gentry class? Did the Qing Dynasty perish during the Yongzheng period?
Another reader said that to solve problems through ethnic integration, military generals will kill people if they ask for mercy. In modern society, apart from China, which country has a multi-ethnic family? Even in China, there are still some evil villains who want to split.
Don't mention this in ancient times. Barbarians feared power rather than virtue.
As for the general who kidnapped the lord on the battlefield, how can the protagonist be the lord without killing him? Cao Cao has already had examples of massacres of cities, but he doesn't allow the angry protagonist to kill barbarians?
Papermaking has already appeared in the Han Dynasty, and Cai Lun improved it. Printing can even be engraved on jade seals. Is it difficult to carve a few words? Horse stirrups and horseshoes appeared in the Northern and Southern Dynasties. These two things were almost two irons.
Rings, one for the horse's nails and one for the saddle. These things are not difficult, right?
In the battle between Cao Ren and Cao Chun, the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry faced Wenpin. I wrote in the previous article that the Tiger and Leopard Cavalry had one man and three horses. Wenpin's cavalry charged and could not turn around. The Tiger and Leopard Cavalry rode along the two wings and shot. There are some problems here.
.
Xuanjia cavalry attacked the camp of Cao Jun, and readers said that 3,500 against hundreds of thousands was too exaggerated. Such camp bombings are not uncommon in history. The battle of Xiaoyaojin and Gan Ning's hundred cavalry robbed the camp were both, right? At this time, Cao Jun's army was all over the place.
They were arrogant soldiers, 3,500 black armored and heavily armored cavalry, attacking Cao Jun’s camp at night. I don’t think it’s a big deal. The problem is that the battle damage was too exaggerated.
Later, Zhou Yu sends Xu Sheng and others to attack the protagonist's camp. Isn't it the same as blowing up the camp? The protagonist is not invincible. Please be patient and read on.
The protagonist has many women. Well, you said in the feudal era, there were not many women and they were monogamous?
When Da Qiao bathed for an hour, my problem was that it took too long.
The famous generals and Pang Tong were weakened when they attacked Jiangdong. This is written to highlight that the generals and ministers of Jiangdong are still worth using. Liu Cong gave troops to Zhou Yu, Lu Meng and others, and no one would question it. There are some problems here, mine.
Also, the protagonist just passed away and beat up his eldest brother in front of his father and Da Ru. I want to say that the protagonist's soul was shattered. He is not his original personality and cares about etiquette and family affection. All he wants is how to resist Cao Cao.
I have a lot of feelings after reading your book reviews. I used to write them and re-read them every day and post them. After your comments, I also read them again. It is indeed my first time writing a book, and there are many shortcomings in terms of writing style and plot logic.
Readers, please understand. I will try my best to improve it. Thank you very much for your corrections.
There are many things mentioned above that I think are right, no problem. This is my personal opinion. Readers are welcome to refute. The truth becomes clearer with more debate. I hope to get your guidance, and I am honored to discuss it with you.
Thank you readers for your support, and thank you to every reader who has read this nonsense. Thank you.
