It is not brewing tea, but boiling tea. Put fresh or dried tea leaves into the pot, or add onions, ginger, dates, orange peels, dogwood, mint, etc., boil it for a hundred times, or stir it to make it smooth, or boil it to remove the foam. To put it bluntly, it is to treat tea as a vegetable and cook it as a soup. The drinking of tea in this matter is not elegant, not to win the tea lover, but because tea has the effect of removing grease and washing the stomach, it is just for the sake of health. And because there is no processing technology for tea, only some gentry who can plant tea trees in some manors and pick fresh tea leaves at any time will drink tea.

At this time, the tea ceremony is not popular, so on weekdays, only wine can be drunk together for friends and entertainment. Therefore, at this time, celebrities will become alcoholics. And due to the imperfection of brewing technology, most of the wine at this time is fruit wine and grain wine, with low alcohol content. It is no wonder that those who drink all day long can be called a big drinker.

Therefore, compared with tea, they are obviously more interested in wine.

As soon as the seal of the sorghum wine with a strong taste and high alcohol content was opened, the smell of wine wafted out, which made people's minds refreshed. The three people, including the monk who did not drink, were immediately attracted.

"Good wine." Zhi Mindu blurted out: "It seems that a little medicinal material has been added to the wine? Hahaha, now there are often crazy people who use wine to spread, but I didn't know that Cong Yue actually used wine as medicine, which is really refreshing."

"Su Wen·Tangye Laoli Lun once said that since ancient times, saints have made soup, liquor and wine as a preparation. Wine has been used to help medicine since ancient times. However, the master said something wrong. This wine is called Baicao Wine. It is not wine that is used as medicine, but medicine that is used as wine. If wine is used as medicine, this jar is not wine but medicine. How can I take it out for everyone to taste."

"Monk, I have read a few medical prescriptions, but I only heard I have heard of using wine to decoct medicine and taking medicine with wine, but I have never heard of using medicine to make wine. "

"Things in the world always have to move forward, otherwise wouldn't it be stagnant? It has never happened before, but there is too much water in the wine, and after the medicinal materials are added, the wine is very easy to deteriorate. The wine in my hand has been brewed by secret methods, and the alcohol is strong, so it is not easy to spoil, and it can be stored for a long time. "Seeing that the three people listened seriously, You Hongyin couldn't help but smile: "It's useless to say more, why not taste it."

At this time, the cooking master of the Lu family had already cooked the sea bass, and immediately brought a few servants to serve the dishes.

One mixed water shield was made into a bowl of soup, and the rest were sliced ​​into golden and jade sashimi by the master Yi Ya. The bowl of water shield fish soup was fresh and fragrant, and the plate of golden and jade sashimi fish slices were as thin as cicada wings, carefully arranged in a white porcelain plate.

Bowls, chopsticks and sauces were placed in front of the four people. The cooking master said respectfully: "Because the master is avoiding it, the sauce may be insufficient. For the sake of seasoning, green onions and ginger are added to the fish soup. Please know this." Then the man led the people to retreat.

"This fish sashimi is enough to show your servant's cooking skills." You Hongyin said.

The Lu brothers were attracted by the Baicao wine in front of them. Zhi Mindu sat upright, but his eyes could not help but glance at the wine glass.

However, the monk would not take action no matter how tempted he was, so Zhi Mindu just put his hands together and said: "Really test the monk's determination."

They couldn't drink and let the master watch, so You Hongyin immediately ordered a small stove, a pottery pot and a set of celadon tea sets to be brought. When they were brought, the charcoal fire in the stove was already burning. After a while, the water in the pottery pot boiled, and You Hongyin began to make tea.

The other three did not interrupt, and their hearts were shaken by the smooth movements of the people in front of them.

If listening to the zither in the bamboo forest and drinking wine during the music show the arrogant, straightforward and unrestrained temperament of the contemporary literati, then the person in front of him shows another kind of flowing, elegant, leisurely and clean, elegant and quiet.

Lu Yun was shocked. Compared with his brother Lu Ji, he did not like those crazy people who drank and took drugs day and night, behaved crazy. Although they had talent and knowledge, they were of no benefit to their family, country and themselves.

Watching Guo Xi's every move, Lu Yun seemed to have touched the edge of the "Tao". The resentment of being unsuccessful, the irritability of being trapped at home, and the disgust of the world's affairs and people gradually disappeared. He took the teacup and took a sip. The tea fragrance was elegant and slightly bitter, with a sweet aftertaste, and even mixed with a hint of pine leaf fragrance. It was completely different from what he usually drank. It seemed that what he drank in the past was just secular ditch water, but now he was drinking the nectar of the world.

After drinking, although his mood became peaceful, he did not lose his fighting spirit like those hermits in the mountains. Instead, his mind became clearer than ever before.

"Is this tea?" Zhi Mindu asked after being immersed for a long time.

"This tea is called Songyin Mist Tea." You Hongyin said.

"This tea makes this table of delicacies and fine wines look vulgar." Zhi Mindu said.

"Vulgarity and elegance are just imposed on things by the world. What does it have to do with the things themselves?" You Hongyin said.

Lu Yun was unmoved when he heard this, but his brother Lu Ji retorted: "If the things themselves have no intention, how can others get their opinions from them?"

The two sides started to discuss this issue, eating fish, drinking wine, tasting tea, and having many wild discussions. It's just that the original topic was originally about idealism and materialism in "philosophy", but later, under You Hongyin's deliberate control, they finally talked about political arguments.

"I once read Brother Shiheng's "On the Defence of the Qin Dynasty," You Hongyin said, "It is indeed very well-written, and every word is a pearl."

Although Lu Ji did not serve in the Sima Dynasty and lived in seclusion in Changgu, it did not mean that he had achieved nothing. His poems and songs that dominated the literary world paved the way for his unrivaled reputation, and the two "On the Defence of the Qin Dynasty" established his true status as a literary master. People even often compare "On the Defence of the Qin Dynasty" with "On the Qin Dynasty".

So, it is impossible to say that Lu Ji was not satisfied with his "On the Defence of the Qin Dynasty".

But now listening to You Hongyin's tone, it doesn't seem to be a word of complete admiration.

Lu Ji has a serious and self-disciplined temperament and a strong style. Although he was not angry when he heard the young man's ambiguous comments in front of him, his temper did rise. Obviously he would not give up until he was satisfied with the answer: "Oh, your Excellency seems to have different opinions on this. ?”

"They are different from each other, and the talents assigned to them are also different." You Hongyin said a sentence in the poem.

This sentence means that Sun Quan and Sun Hao had different political upbringings and different official appointments, so the endings were also different. It is also the central argument of this fu: Soochow collapsed because the last generation of monarchs did not know how to make good use of others.

Lu Ji Lu Ji discusses Soochow's basic experience in establishing a business and employing people. Relying on talents such as Zhang Zhao and Zhou Yu, Sun Ce was able to defeat the local separatist forces, occupy the five counties of Wu, Kuaiji, and Lujiang, and establish a business in Jiangdong, thus laying the foundation for the future empire of Wu. Sun Quan, the leader of Wu, has a broad mind, is courteous to virtuous officials, is good at identifying talents, dares to use talents, sincerely trusts people, accepts advice humbly, does not listen to slander, cares for the people like sons, etc., which are both indispensable political qualities for a ruler and a leader of Soochow. Essential lessons for thriving.

"What's the problem with this sentence? The rise and fall of the world is due to the fact that the time is not as good as the right place, and the right place is not as good as the harmony. There are three things that make the world prosper, the right time, the right place, and the right harmony, and the right harmony is particularly important. Because the conditions of the right time and the right place ultimately require talents to take advantage of them. It's done." Lu Ji said proudly.

"Actually, Brother Shiheng's political views can be summarized in four words, which is 'rule by elites'. Whether it is putting people first, or ruling by enfeoffment, they are all manifestations of the spirit of these four words." You Hongyin said leisurely: "But such a choice can indeed unite a group in the short term by relying on the charisma of the leader, but it can easily lead to the situation like Soochow. If one person dies, the world will die. It is ridiculous to tie the world's affairs to one person."

Whether it was Lu Ji, who had a rigorous personality but tended to be stubborn, or Lu Yun, who had a cunning mind and never adhered to the rules, or even the attitude of outsiders who were not stained by the world of mortals, everyone was dumbfounded.

No matter how proud the family is, how much they invest in politics, and even though they talk about a prosperous dynasty and an iron-clad family, they will eventually weigh the pros and cons and choose a master. As for the 'aristocratic family' who has transformed from an aristocratic family into a royal family, they will think about how to hold on to the power in their hands and how to put the biggest and most beautiful piece of the world's cake into their own pockets.

Therefore, in the eyes of everyone, it is very normal for the emperor to influence the rise and fall of the world alone.

"In my opinion, using layers of systems to reduce the influence of this person is the key to a smooth world." You Hongyin said: "There were Yao and Shun in ancient times, but it is not the current family world where fathers pass on to sons and no sons pass on to brothers. The human heart is only dangerous, the Taoist heart is only subtle, but the essence is only one, and no one has remembered the words that Yunzhi passed away. "

Lu Ji could not speak out to refute the rule of Yao and Shun. He only felt that Guo Xi seemed smart, but in fact he was probably sick.

The abdication of the throne only happened to the two emperors Yao and Shun in ancient times. If it was really the truth of governing the country, how could it be passed down to only two generations?

Lu Yun, however, was more intelligent and quick-thinking than Lu Ji: "Everyone has selfish motives. Who doesn't want his family to be passed down for thousands of generations and enjoy the country forever? What's more, the people in ancient times were not as hairy as they are today, and the lands ruled by Emperors Yao and Shun were not as good as today." now In the vastness of the country, if the recommended Zen position system is implemented, it will consume too much manpower and material resources, and it will easily lead to chaos in the court." He shook his head and said: "Cong Yue, your views are too extreme, no good."

Chapter 204: Celebrities and Romance (31)

It seems that they have found their interest, and Lu Yun and You Hongyin have been having a heated discussion on this issue.

What Lu Yun said was reality, and what You Hongyin said was an ideal. He himself knew that it was impossible to realize, so he focused on weakening the emperor's role in the country's operation, and briefly talked about his past experiences. think.

But Lu Yun keenly heard from it that this method seemed to reduce the emperor's power, but in fact it was a division of power! Narrow the matter of seizing power from the entire world to the court.

But this method is not a panacea.

Zhi Mindu and Lu Ji watched the two people's heated discussion speechlessly. At first they could follow the two people's thoughts, but later even Lu Ji couldn't understand what they were communicating.

Some people say that those who are ten years ahead of their time are geniuses, and those who are ahead of one hundred years are madmen. What You Hongyin said can only be understood by Lu Yun, a very smart person.

The fish soup has been used up, the fish meat has been used up, and a jar of fine wine has been consumed. Although the pine tea is good, it is not good to drink. However, You Hongyin and Lu Yun were having an inseparable conversation, so You Hongyin followed the Lu brothers. Returned to the old house of the Lu family in Changgu.

When they arrived at Lu's house, You Hongyin ignored everything and only focused on communicating with Lu Yun. He was familiar with each other's personalities, talents, and political opinions. As for Hu Gui and the many guards who came with You Hongyin, they were among the Lu family's People like to entertain.

Although Lu Ji recognized the talents of this young hero he met by chance, he did not agree with his ideals and was not enthusiastic about it. However, his younger brother Lu Yun had been somewhat independent since he was young, and he was the best at discerning people's hearts. He had few close friends and few acquaintances. They all got acquainted with each other through his elder brother, so naturally they are not even close friends.

Therefore, it was rare for him to be so interested in someone, and even have a pleasant conversation with him. Anyway, it would not be a big deal to discuss it at home. Although Lu Ji had a stern personality, he was not unkind, so he just let the two of them go.

but!

Two days later, Lu Ji looked at the condemning gaze of his brother Lu Xuan, gritted his teeth and angrily read a letter left in his brother's room.

Lu Yun was kidnapped by that kid who came from nowhere!

But this was not the time to settle accounts, Lu Ji had to calm down his anger and cover for Lu Yun: "Shilong found someone worthy of assisting, and he must have followed him. Don't worry, brother, that person is the governor of Qingzhou. There is no war or banditry under his rule now, and there is Taiyue blocking other states, so it is very safe."

He made up his mind and immediately sent servants to Qingzhou to investigate the situation to see if he could find an opportunity to bring his brother back.

But in fact, You Hongyin and Lu Yun did not go back to Qingzhou directly.

"So, when you go out this time, do you want to find a few doctors?" Lu Yun raised his eyebrows and asked.

He had not yet fully recognized You Hongyin, so he did not change his words, but the more familiar they became with each other, the more impolite they spoke. Before, they were brothers, but now they directly called each other you and me.

You Hongyin said: "Qingzhou School has the support of local scholars from noble families, which is enough for the time being, but medical care has not been established. Whether it is the wounded in the army or the ordinary people, it is very difficult to treat them. Most of them even still believe in various unreliable witchcraft."
