I [Imperial] Am Not This Kind of Man
Chapter 20: Make a fortune
Qin Nuo was startled. He just left for an hour. Why was the situation suddenly changed?
"Isn't it about peace?" He couldn't help it.
Since Beishuo became the emperor, the two sides have a discussion every few years. Just half a year ago, there was a big battle. Da Zhou lost the battle, but he killed 800 people and suffered 800 damages. As a victor, Bei Shuo also suffered heavy losses, and its national strength was not as good as Da Zhou. With his eyes closed, it is impossible to break Juyongguan, so he simply stopped and proposed peace talks.
Of course, Da Zhou will not refuse this request, but the conditions for peace talks must be carefully considered.
Huge amounts of gold and silver, the open Fang market, and princesses and pros.
To Beishuo's request, the two sides have been in the stage of pulling skins. The two countries were far apart, and the envoys would return for two or three months. After half a year, no conclusion has been reached.
"No words, no words. These gangsters!" Qin Xun scolded.
"It shouldn't be at this time." Qin Nuo touched his chin. The last time Beishuo and Dongxia and other small clans formed an alliance, gathered a full 500,000 troops, and did not break through Juyongguan. What can 200,000 soldiers and horses do this time? Moreover, the weather turned cold immediately, and the northern grasses were withered. Grain and grass were a big problem. In the event of a delay in the war, it would be even worse when it encountered a blizzard.
"Who knows, it really is a barbarous generation, there is no etiquette of national mourning."
Qin Nuo was speechless. Returning the country to be mournful is not Song Xianggong. Who cares about you being mournful, and the people in Beishuo should take advantage of the new emperor's throne and the political stability is unstable.
Because of the news of Beishuo's invasion, everyone was worried, and even the new emperor Qin Cong was ugly.
Looking at Qin Congqing's complexion, Qin Nuo couldn't help but feel a little sympathy. The emperor's profession is not good enough! Emperor Jing Yao was very refreshing, and the beauty of singing and dancing for all his life was endless, leaving his children and grandchildren a mess.
A banquet came to an end in a hurry, after the royal families thanked Huang En, they quit the main hall.
Even Qin Xun, who had always been optimistic, had no interest in climbing, rushed to the square, hurriedly got into the carriage, and left the court.
Qin Nuo went to the West Hall to say hello to Qin Hui, and left one step behind the crowd.
The car ball rolled on the bluestone and made a regular sound. Qin Nuo reclined on the cushion in the carriage, thinking absently of the next days.
He was groggy, and suddenly the horse hissed in front of him, and the car jolted violently.
Qin Nuo in the carriage quickly held down the seat, which stabilized him. In the ear came the rough voice of the driver outside,
"What is this? Is there any king law? There are wild horses running on the official road of Beijing under the broad daylight, hey, stop, stop, run away ..."
In the carriage, Qin Nuo opened the curtains and looked at the probe, only to see a black horse's buttocks erupting along the official road at a speed of 80 yards.
His own driver jumped with anger and yelled. Seeing that Qin Nuo was shocked, he realized the rudeness, and quickly shut his mouth, grinning: "Master Wang, I didn't know where the savage came from just now, and rammed. If it wasn't for the villain's quick response, he would have been hit by Wang Jia . This kind of impolite things should be learned a little. "
Where else could a savage? Those who can follow the official path are either officials or government officials, and they are always inseparable from the word "official".
Ignoring the driver's complaint, Qin Nuo's eyes fell on the captain of the guard next to him.
The captain of the guard of the Chunjun Wangfu is Zhang Juxuan. The elementary school of Bapin was assigned by the House of Government and is quite dedicated. He bowed and saluted, and said: "Just as seen by his subordinates, the dress should be the flying rider of the Ministry of Defense, but I don't know why it is so hurried. Can the subordinates send someone to catch up and go to inquire?
Qin Nuo immediately knew, and commanded: "No need, let's go." The battle in Bianguan was tens of thousands, inevitably rude.
The carriage was back on the road.
In the guard, a voice couldn't help whispering, "This flying ride is so hurried that there must be a hundred thousand urgent battles in the border, is it Beishu invasion?"
Although the voice was deliberately lowered, Qin Nuo in the car heard it because of his natural rough voice.
His eyes floated down the open window. He was a burly middle-aged man with a dark goggle on one eye. Wearing iron light chain mail, quite like the pirate style of the lone pirates in previous movies, it is the sharp shooter named Lu Dong who returned from the divine camp.
Qin Nuo remembered this. He was so noisy that he didn't want to be the head coach and squeezed into the guard of honor. He also caused the manager to complain that he had lowered the overall value of the guard of honor.
No matter who was born in North Xinjiang, he had fought with real swords and immediately smelled the signs.
When leaving the palace, the prime ministers, left and right, and several dignitaries of the Ministry of Defense were all left behind. Presumably, this matter will spread throughout the capital tomorrow, and there is no need to keep it secret. Qin Nuo simply bluntly said: "You guessed it right, the court received the news that Beishuo Army detained the customs."
Lu Dong murmured secretly, but did not expect Qin Nuo's voice to be heard from his head, and immediately looked up, his eyes burning: "These words are true. These wolf cubs, like to fight grass valley this season."
This excited look, you are a half disabled, still thinking that fighting in battle is impossible.
Zhang Juzheng couldn't help but said, "Deputy leader of Lu still wanted to fight to kill the enemy?" Lu Dong was a deputy leader in the guard of honor because he was a high-ranking officer in the camp.
Like a ball that had been pierced, Lu Dong's cheerful eyes went out instantly. Finally shook his head and sighed.
Qin Nuo suddenly remembered that when Zhao Ping recommended Lu Dong to himself, he also bragged about what he was the top archer detective in northern Xinjiang, and could not help asking: "I heard that you have been in northern Xinjiang for a long time. How does it last? "
Lu Dong was lingering: "How can I know this if I am a retired person who has retired long ago."
Qin Nuo is speechless. You still have the official office of the Divine Camp Primary School. Anyway, it is also a centurion-level position, and you also receive the salary of the Ministry of Defense.
However, Zhang Juzheng had a wink next to him and immediately said: "The Lord doesn't have to worry, the soldiers at the border will unite, these barbarians won't be able to hold on for long."
Lu Dong didn't say anything, but he hesitated twice.
Qin Nuo glanced at him and said with a smile: "I don't worry too much about Northern Xinjiang. Beishu has had many battles before, and it has already lost its vitality. This time, however, I want to take advantage of the instability of my country. . The winter is approaching, and I will probably retreat soon. I just worry that someone will profit from chaos. "
Zhang Juyi laughed: "Master Wang sees it well."
Lu Dong's face was surprised, and Qin Nuo glanced more. After holding it out again and again, I couldn't help it. "I can't think of Lord Wang. I can think of this step. Someone even said that Lord Wang ... uh." Apparently aware of his inappropriate speech, he stopped.
Qin Nuo didn't think so: "Ha, King is indeed more stupid than other brothers, and it is inevitable that the palace people will misunderstand."
Seeing that Qin Nuo did not hold him accountable, Lu Dong grinned and continued: "The subordinates also felt that the Nan Chen Candid Party would not let go of this opportunity."
Qin Nuo was shocked. He didn't even think about this. What he said just now is that the interested person is taking advantage of the chaos, because he is worried that the Huo family in Beijing and Pei Yue will have another conflict.
Is it Nan Chen Candid Party? After the fall of Nanchen a few years ago, a prince fled to the south with 20,000 remnants, and served the Wuli Kingdom that was originally a subsidiary of Nanchen. He then occupied three counties and established a small court to resist stubborn resistance. Because of occupying natural danger, the road was tortuous, and the drug lord was permeated, Pei Yi sent troops to try several times without success.
Soon Beishuo assembled an army to invade the south, and Pei Yi led his army back to the north. A fierce battle. Although Da Zhou won very quickly, the thief of Beishu did not die, and he continued to harass the border. There is victory and defeat. Therefore, in these years, Da Zhou's eyes have been focused on the northern Xinjiang. This remnant, a small court in the southern Chen Dynasty, has never been able to make up for it.
I heard that the prince of the Southern Dynasties was quite talented. In the past few years, he first married the Princess of Uli Kingdom, and then nested Douzhan, eroded and annexed the site of Uli Kingdom. Your power is gone.
Nan Chen Candid's hatred for Da Zhou is so deep that he has freed up his hands now, fearing that something will really happen.
With this in mind, Qin Nuo couldn't help but want to return to the palace, reminding all the court officials who are still discussing. But after thinking about it, it was ridiculous. There are countless talents in the court, where you need to worry about your idle grandfather.
The army was under pressure, and the court responded very quickly. On the second day, it issued a series of decrees to dispatch troops and horses from all over the world.
Qin Nuo asked Li Wan to transcribe a dibao, and he learned about some court trends through Qin Xun. Sure enough, the imperial court was wary of this remnant force in the south.
With the resurgence of fighting in northern Xinjiang, the people are also nervous. The food prices in Beijing have changed day by day, so Qin Nuo can't help feeling that he has forgotten this good opportunity to get rich. But within a few days, several grain price traders who had the most excessive price increases were plagiarized, and Qin Nuo sighed. To get rich, still rely on technology.
At this time, he was in his own manor.
The three Gongzhuangs assigned to the King's Mansion in Chunjun County are the highest quality of this Changshuizhuang in the south of the city. Not only the soil is fertile, but also the mountains and waters, the scenery is excellent, and the most wonderful thing is a hot spring.
Grange's Beppu is located next to the hot spring. It was the previous owner of Grange and was designed and built by a county king. The King of Laijun is elegant and elegant. The exquisite and comfortable house built by the villa is unfortunately unavailable. He was given to death because of the four kings' rebellion 20 years ago.
Being a royal family is really a dangerous job! Even if he only loves to play in his life, he doesn't get involved in political affairs, but because his brother who was born with his mother participated in the rebellion, he is hardly spared and is given himself! Knowing the cause of his own uncle's destruction, Qin Nuo couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, he did not have a brother, but only a sister.
At this moment, he was lying lazily in the hot spring pool, twisting a round bath bean in his hand.
Although I am in this big Zhou Dynasty, although it is not any dynasty in history, the social productivity is far better than the ordinary feudal dynasty. In daily life, corn, pepper, and other crops have been introduced. Textile, casting, metallurgy, and other technologies It is much more advanced than the ancient times that I know.
Even for daily drinks and drinks, Qin Nuoshun held up his glass glazed citron on the white marble jade table next to him. The red wine water was like a pure gemstone under the candlelight.
Taking a sip, the sweet taste, with a hint of wine, is light and not intoxicating. Rarely such a grange can keep ice and make its own wine.
But the wine has a slight astringency, so a lot of rock sugar is added to neutralize and cover the taste. It tastes a bit too sweet.
"There is a grape field to the north of Zhuangzi. It's not a boast of villains. The wine we produce on Zhuangzi can be ranked in the entire capital. Although it is not comparable to the glycol in the Western Region, it is definitely a first-class product. . "Remembering the grange manager's boast when the wine came in just now.
Today's popular wines are still the most expensive in the Western Regions. Self-brewed always carries a bitterness, the astringency of the lower grade is very heavy, it is difficult to import, the top grade is like the cup in front of it, the astringency is suppressed to the lowest, but because too much sugar is added, it also affects the taste.
Aesthetics is constantly changing with the development of history. In the modern society of the later generations, some pursuit of wine is such a special bitter taste. Artisans use cellaring methods such as oak barrels to aggravate the bitterness of wine. On the contrary, in this era, the wine is more delicious.
The way to remove astringent taste from wine is actually very simple. Should I try this as a way to get rich?
He has been out of the palace for many days, and is no longer a clueless person about the secular economy. Qin Nuo knows that in this era, salt, iron, liquor, and other things were exclusively owned by the government or approved by certain merchants. Standing behind these giant merchants must be the nobles in power.
Just like drinks, there are only a few of the capital cities that have franchise rights. The drinks in the major restaurant merchants basically come from these. In addition, there are also some small merchants that brew and sell for themselves. Go to tube. But if the business becomes bigger, someone will definitely come to teach these lessons of "greed and forget".
If you really make this wine and put it into the market in large quantities, it will inevitably affect the interests of these giants. Although he is also the royal family, as a casual county king, he is still low-key.
This thing is much safer than alcohol. Qin Nuo's eyes returned to the little bath bean in front of him.
Bath beans are about the size of a finger belly, soft blue, with the sweet fragrance of osmanthus. The bath beans used by the county king's house are top grades supplied by several butter powder shops. The taste is fresh, but the cleaning effect is not as good as the scientific and technological products of the later chemical industry.
Nowadays, bath beans are also divided into many types, one for brushing teeth, one for bathing, and one for bathing and adding fragrance.
And this thing is not subject to any court ban, and folk workshops make it at will.
I have made handmade soap in my previous life. I still remember the basic process. As an improved version of bath beans, I believe it will be more popular than this stuff.
There are ready-made materials in Zhuangzi, and the molds and tools must first sharpen their tools. Tomorrow, go to the workshop to create a good set.
Decided the first direction of getting rich, Qin Nuo became clear. I took another sip of wine, which not only tasted, but also the concentration of alcohol.
He still remembers the distillation equipment for alcohol purification. After a while, he draws drawings together, purifies the alcohol, even if it is not sold, he can use it for his own use, and high-purity alcohol can not only make wine in the future, but also make toilet water, lotion, etc. Companion products for handmade soap.
