Chapter 230 Invitation from Taiyuan Royal Family

In April, the barley is yellow in the south wind, and the jujube flowers are not falling, and the tung tree leaves grow!
All the way north, Biyi and Huangyi are beyond sight.Seeing Xia Shou's approaching, the villagers on both sides of the avenue showed smiles on their faces.

Hedong Road was an important road in the Tang Dynasty.Of the three major capitals in a narrow sense, Hedong Road occupies one, and Bingzhou, that is, Taiyuan, was changed to Taiyuan Mansion in the hands of Wu Zetian.In a broad sense, of the five major capital cities, Hedong Road occupies two, Bingzhou and Puzhou (West Yongji).This is the home of the Li family. Since the Tang Dynasty, they have attached great importance to this place.Although the place is small and has many mountainous areas, its population ranks fifth in the seventeenth province.

Also because of the narrowness of the place, these business winds flourished and became one of the wealthiest places in the Tang Dynasty.Later, in order to strengthen the connection with Hedong Road, a quarter of the country's annual iron production was specially spent on the Yellow River, and the only fixed pontoon bridge with iron cables connecting boats was built to communicate between the north and the south.At the same time, it was also an important salt producing area in Tang Dynasty, Jiechi in Hedong.Pool salt does not require a lot of manual decoction like sea salt, but it adopts the method of reclamation and watering, relying on the sun and wind to evaporate the water vapor and dissolve the brine veins. There are few artificial factors and the economic cost is extremely low.Compared with sea salt and well salt, etc., as pool salt, east salt is naturally produced, with low cost and high profit.Therefore, Jiechi salt was one of the sources of edible salt in the Tang Dynasty, and it also brought a lot of tax revenue to the Tang Dynasty government.

But there are advantages and disadvantages. The wealth of Hedong is also one of the important goals coveted by the Turks.In recent years, in addition to the flat terrain of Hebei, the Turks often invaded Hebei, and the first goal was Hedong.

Therefore, Li Dan's approach, if he insists on looking for it, is for the sake of his daughter's happiness, which makes sense.

For this trip, Wang Hua's attitude is prudent, he is hiding on the sidelines to watch the situation, take advantage of the situation, and increase the momentum, this is his focus.Only Kong Heizi seemed to have finally recovered from the tranquility of Qingshangou, with an eager look on his face.Opportunities come only when there is danger. After all, he is still a militant at heart.

There were two people and four horses all the way, without stopping, and arrived at the city of Taiyuan on the sixth day of April.

Taiyuan is different from other prefectural cities, and inspections are stricter.Looking at the past of the two men, the guards looked up at Wang Hua in surprise.

Wang Hua just smiled, this is the old base of the Wang family in Taiyuan.It is impossible for the soldiers guarding the city not to hear about the festival between me and the Wang family. Maybe this soldier is a member of the Wang family.But now that he is an official of the imperial court, a man of high skill and boldness, and a master who is awesome by his side, he dares to break into Chuanjue's old lair.

But this is also Di Renjie's hometown.

Entering the city, like Luoyang, the streets are very prosperous on both sides.There are many amazing similarities with Luoyang. A Fen River almost divides Taiyuan into two halves, but the north and south of Luoyang, Taiyuan has become east and west.Another point is that Taiyuan City, like Luoyang, has many Hu people.There are also different places. The Hu people in Luoyang come from all over the world, and most of the Hu people in Taiyuan come from the East Turks in the north.

Even the inn where Wang Hua and the two stayed was home to many Hu people.

It doesn't matter to Wang Hua, as long as there is no war, we are all friends, but Kong Heizi is an old cynic, who has fought against the barbarian all his life, and almost contradicted the barbarian in Luoyang.It was very unpleasant to see these barbarians.Seeing his expression, Wang Hua wanted to laugh.

This is the heyday of the Tang Dynasty, and it has been replaced by the Song Dynasty. It is very difficult for the common people to feel disgusted with the Hu people, and they may be afraid when they see it.

The master and apprentice put down their things and wanted to eat.But he was still wearing armor, carrying a big hammer, and carrying a bow.This is also taught by Kong Heizi. When you arrive at the military camp, you must always have armor and weapons on your body. Otherwise, what should you do if the enemy attacks the camp?So that's how it went.

Going to the lobby, seeing the strange looks of these two generals, everyone looked at them curiously.

Kong Heizi didn't care either, he had been to Taiyuan several times, but this was in the past.He shouted very familiarly: "Man, here are two jars of Bingzhou wine, another plate of sliced ​​mutton liver, big sauced meat, Baihuashaomei, and two bowls of sliced ​​noodles."

The shopkeeper bowed his head and said, "Here we come."

These two people belonged to the kind of fierce people at first glance. The young man was a little bit better, he looked a little delicate, and his face was not very scary. The extra-large curved bow in the back.Those who can fully draw this bow belong to the first level of genius, and it is better to have a better service attitude.

The wine was served.Taiyuan's wine is very famous, and Liu Yuxi has praised it in articles.Sweet and sour, very fruity.But if you drink too much of this wine, you will get drunk as usual.I didn't see that there were two Hu men over there, they were drinking too much, they were going crazy with alcohol, they sang Hu Ge while slapping the table.

This is normal, and there is no such thing as beating or cursing.But Kong Heizi was not pleasing to the eye, and roared: "Howling, what's the matter."

"Huh?" The two barbarians were drunk, and when they heard someone finding fault, they turned around and were about to get angry.

Wang Hua saw that something was wrong. The court's attitude towards the Eastern Turks is a bit like the attitude of the Song Dynasty towards the Khitan people. It is best not to provoke them.Moreover, this is Taiyuan Mansion, if something happens, or someone from the Wang family happens to be in the government mansion, maybe there is no trouble, just cause trouble.

After thinking about it, I picked up a hammer, put it on my thumb, and spun it on my thumb like a spinning top.It looks light, but it uses some skills and ingenuity.After dozens of circles, the two barbarians were still dazzled, thinking that he was playing a trick.Wang Hua put the hammer on the table, and there was a bang.This hammer weighs at least 20 kilograms. Can it be placed on the table without ringing?
The whole room is silent, how much strength is this?

The two barbarian wine also woke up from fright.I dare not sing anymore.

Kong Heizi refused to let go, and said: "Bear like!"

The two barbarians just kept silent, and it seemed that the barbarians were still afraid of death.

But Wang Hua finally fully understands the character of his master, and it is not easy to dare to be affectionate. No wonder he is so good at martial arts, but his promotion speed is very slow.It's strange that such a character is popular.More troublesome than myself.

It is hard to say that Wang Hua has any resentment towards Hu people.Don't say that the Hu people are cruel and have caused great harm to the Han people. Guan Jian still has to work hard on his own.Like Han Wu and Li Shimin, wouldn't it be the same to move the army to Mobei?This is a problem that can never be solved once and for all.That is to say, when a nomadic people was wiped out, the coldness in the north made the Han people unwilling to live there. In the vacated area, a nomadic tribe moved in again and became stronger, causing danger to the Han people again.

Therefore, as long as he continues to grow stronger, the Ming Dynasty still has a period of time to hold troops to Mobei.Relatively speaking, Li Shimin's policies are better at certain times, holding a big stick in one hand and a lollipop in the other.I don't even build the Great Wall. I build strong soldiers and strong generals. Once I build the city, I can finish it.On the contrary, the Tang Dynasty suffered fewer invasions, at least not fatal ones.

By showing off, the Erhu people are honest, and all the people in the shop are honest.Even the face of the waiter has a smile on his face, fearing that the service will not be good.

Then Wang Hua dragged Kong Heizi into the room to rest.

This is in Taiyuan City, where there are many Hu people, and they are afraid that Kong Heizi will cause trouble.It's hard to say when you enter the government office.Still don't hang out on the street.

He didn't sleep either, so Wang Hua was reading a book with the oil lamp on.But after a while, the guy in the store came to knock on the door.

Wang Hua opened the door, and the clerk said, "Guest officer, are you Wang Hua of Gong County?"

After asking, he looked at him up and down. This name is amazing, but people have never seen it before. Looking at it now, although it is mighty, it has a more elegant taste.A bit like a legendary wit.

Wang Hua nodded, and asked back, "What can I do for you?"

"Don't dare, the Taiyuan Wang family sent someone to look for you."

"Taiyuan Wang's family?" Wang Hua frowned.Since I took office immediately, the Wang family of Taiyuan wouldn't be so ignorant. When I arrived in Taiyuan, what was my plan?But he still said, "Let them come here."

If it were an ordinary person, they would greet them with a smile on their faces.Wang Hua's behavior was a little rude, but the store clerk didn't care, he was fighting not only the Wang family, but also several other families, and still sitting here properly?

The man went to inform.After a while, two people came, one person Wang Hua knew, and Wang Zihe, seeing Wang Hua coming, imitated Wang Hua, stretched out his big hand, and the two shook hands.Then Wang Zihe said: "Since the farewell in Luoyang, I miss Wang Duwei very much. It just so happens that Wang Duwei came to Taiyuan. I brought a few piano scores last time, and there are still many parts that I don't understand. Could you ask me for advice? "

For this gentleman, Wang Hua admired him from the bottom of his heart, and replied: "Don't dare, the boy will definitely follow orders. But time is limited, I can only practice once."

"That's enough," Wang Zihe said happily, rubbing his hands together.

Another young man interjected at this moment: "Captain Wang, we are here on the orders of our ancestors to invite Captain Wang to come to our Wang's house to have a talk. Can you do me a favor?"

Wang Zihe also said from the side: "Wang Duwei, don't worry, this time our Wang family sincerely asks Wang Duwei to explain the previous misunderstanding."

Wang Hua looked at Wang Zihe and thought to himself, you idiot, who only cares about playing the piano, how can you understand the dangers of human nature?He didn't answer, but let the two sit down, and ordered the waiter to bring tea.Then there was a pensive look on his face, what does the Wang family mean?Please go ahead yourself and put aside the past, as if you don't have the real qualifications to be worthy of them.Hongmen Banquet?It is unlikely.

Although Wang Zihe was an open-minded person, he wasn't really an idiot. He saw Wang Hua's eyes and knew that Wang Hua still had worries in his heart.He pouted at the young man, and the young man withdrew.Wang Zihe said again: "The old ancestor told me when he came here, the main reason is that the family is very big now, and there are too many people, and it is inevitable that good and bad will be mixed."

Wang Hua nodded.

"Especially after losing this competition, many disciples in the clan are not proud. The ancestors ask you to go to town for our Wang family, so that the group of disciples can wake up. Only Captain Wang is willing to go. In order to express gratitude, the ancestors, I am willing to owe Captain Wang a favor."

As a result, Wang Hua became even more hesitant. The favor of the Wang family is very important, especially when he is in the military camp, which is not very far from Taiyuan.But the Wang family really has such kindness?He raised his head and looked at Wang Zihe.
