Chapter 2908: Survival and death, ups and downs(1/2)
Taishici led the vanguard, and he would rush to the West Sea to face the Western Regions Alliance as a vanguard.
Fei Qian will take the big army next, as the central army, support, and with the baggage to the West Sea.
Jia Xu would stay at Yumen Pass, responsible for mobilizing and transporting Longyou's materials to the front line.
While Fei Qian and Taishi Ci joined hands to look forward to the future of the Western Regions at Yumen Pass, Jia Xu also sat in front of Lu Bu in the pass.
The future is ahead, and history is behind.
Lu Bu took off his military uniform and was wearing a cloth robe. His hair was a little scattered and his body almost didn't move, like a withered man. Perhaps there was more yellow sand on his head and body, which would make him look even more like. Lu Bu's eyes were not focused on where he sat here for a long time. The military soldiers inside and outside Yumen Pass occasionally had noisy sounds, but they could not drive the expression on his face at all.
"Have you met Mr. Wen."
Jia Xu bowed his hand.
When he saw Jia Xu, Lu Bu just raised his eyelids lazily, "Wenhe wants to make fun of Yu?"
Jia Xu shook his head, and did not even feel dissatisfied with the attitude Lu Bu showed, because Jia Xu knew that Lu Bu's habit of giving up face has been for many years, so it is possible that he could change it just by saying that he could change it?
The tiger will never lose its power.
What's more, Lu Bu is not dead yet.
"Wei Xu is dead." Jia Xu called his name directly and directly showed disdain and contempt. "Escaped in the Gobi Desert and encountered wild wolves, and his corpse was gone. It was also considered that this prince's life was good."
Lu Bu couldn't help laughing, "I'm dead and dead, and my corpse is gone, is it still a good fortune?"
Jia Xu nodded seriously, "It's true."
Lu Bu snorted.
"If it is according to the lord's wishes, this son should be tried according to the law... Fengxian may not know anything. The so-called law means public trial. The audience is for the suffering people, and they took turns to the stage to accuse their crimes..." Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu, "I am lucky, but I watched several times... that is really... unforgettable for life..."
Jia Xu tsk a few times, then seemed to be trapped in some memories.
Jia Xu said he was watching, but in fact he personally handled several of the cases, so he was very impressed by the public trial.
In fact, there were very few processes for ordinary people to obtain information in the Han Dynasty. The public trial system proposed by Fei Qian not only provided some educational effects, allowing the people to know what crimes are and what kind of crimes will be punished, but also shocked some potential criminals and made these people feel the strictness of the law more intuitively.
In particular, public trials are often held in the local hometown of the criminals, and in the hometown of the criminals, criminals also have relatives, friends and even family members. Public trials will undoubtedly cause great visual impact and psychological shock to the relatives of these criminals. Some criminals have not even been on stage, their legs and feet are already weak, and they are as soft as a pile of mud, just like two people in the cell in the lobby...
Some filial piety bricks who learned the Western law in later generations were very aggressively criticizing the public trial system, talking about citizens' human rights, defense of innocence, criminals' return to society, etc. However, in fact, even other crimes are not suitable for public trial, if it is said that the corruption crimes of officials are subject to public trial, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a public trial.
I believe that some people who heard that the public trial system had been abolished must have breathed a long breath in the dark and touched their chests. Just like those guys who were desperately mosaicing the suspects in later generations, but wished they could illuminate the victim's pores.
"If this boy is captured, he will inevitably shirk his actions to Fengxian..." Jia Xu's eyes slid around Lu Bu and said slowly, "If he is a biting during the public trial... so... isn't this fate?"
Lu Bu fell silent.
Is this saying that Wei Xuming is good?
This is clearly saying that Lu Bu is lucky!
But how did Lu Bu answer this?
Can't answer.
Jia Xu didn't have to wait for Lu Bu to answer anything, so he sat down directly, then took out two wine gourds from his sleeve, placed them in front of Lu Bu, and reached out to signal.
Lu Bu rolled his eyelids, stared at Jia Xu, and then reached for one.
Jia Xu smiled and took another one, opened the plug, and drank it in front of Lu Bu.
Lu Bu looked at it, his eyebrows trembled, as if he wanted to take the one in Jia Xu's hand, but in the end he held it back, opened the wine gourd stopper in his hand, took a sip, and then sucked it, "I? This wine tastes good!"
"This is a new wine from Chang'an, called citrus wine. It is said that it is added with frosted sugar, which is even better than gold liquor, but the quantity is not large." Jia Xu glanced at Lu Bu, "Now I have only this little left, and I'll be gone after drinking..."
Lu Bu nodded and took another sip. For some reason, his originally chaotic and even a little uneasy mood eased unknowingly...
In the Han Dynasty, or most ancient people, basically drank yellow wine.
Later generations of advertising, film and television, etc., when the ancients poured wine, they poured white wine. In fact, one was because of the funding. Tap water was used as white wine, and it was cheap no matter how you drink it. The other was also for the subtle influence...
In ancient times, white wine was a low-quality wine.
In ancient times, people did not have the concept of liquor at all, and they did not even have the word "baijiu". There is only "sauce" similar to the word "baijiu". Even the word "sauce" appeared in the Ming and Qing dynasties.
Most of the ancient Chinese drank rice wine with more complex craftsmanship, while the so-called white wine had a stimulating taste, simple process, and great stamina, which was not popular.
As for why liquor in later generations defeated the rice wine, it was because in a special period, there was a shortage of grain and it was impossible to use grain to make wine, and even sorghum was not enough to eat. In order to make up for the people's demand for alcohol, a small amount of sorghum was used to brew high-level base wine, and then dilute the reduction with water, and even add flavors and edible alcohol to the diluted wine to meet the needs of a large number of alcohol.
As for why the special period ended later and the grain output increased, there was still not much rice wine, so we have to ask why bad money drove out good money. The cost is low, the profit is high, and the cycle is short. Manufacturers can use a lot of money to buy bricks and brags. Naturally, there are more and more black technology and ruthless goods, which is more fragrant and exciting. Anyway, you just need to drink it on the spot and don’t kill anyone.
Those rice wineries that maintain tradition and carefully brew good wine have gone bankrupt one after another. It will take at least one or two years to brew rice wine. As for white wine, especially white wine blended, it is at most a problem to put a label on it. Then there must be various sweet potatoes, various goods, various traffic, various bricks, and various certificates to prove their excellent quality...
Can it be not good?
Ensure to be added in proportion, and no less black technology is missing!
This is the rules of the wine game in later generations, and it can be regarded as a different kind of "evolution". Rice wine is not suitable for the fast-paced life in later generations. The most expensive of the costs that cannot be reduced is "time", so when you need to quickly anesthetize yourself, capital caters to your choice.
So what about people?
If a person needs to practice martial arts, to meet lower requirements, or at least to be elite generals who can fight on the battlefield and have a higher survival rate, how much time will it take?
Can you succeed from time to time in a short time?
Fei Qian brought a lot of "black technology" and was also storing the living space of generals like Lu Bu. So does that mean that with the gunpowder developed by craftsmen under Fei Qian, there is no need for a brave general like Lu Bu? Anyway, no matter how high the martial arts are, it cannot withstand the roar of artillery.
Obviously not...
Even in the era of Heat, those who know martial arts on the battlefield will have a higher chance of survival.
Jia Xu shook the wine gourd gently. He also liked drinking, but what he liked was drinking with people he was familiar with. Lu Bu was not a person he was familiar with, he could only be considered aware of the foundation.
『This wine…』 Jia Xu said slowly, 『It was created by the lord. I remember that when the lord was in the north, he was doing these food, drinking and drinking matters, people from Shandong mocked him as the reincarnation of Taotie…』
Lu Bu raised his eyebrows, as if he wanted to say something, but after smacking his lips twice, he raised his wine gourd and drank it, saying nothing.
Zhejiu wine is actually added to Zhejiu based on the original rice wine.
Of course, the craft is not a simple addition.
The process of filtration multiple times has made the zheju wine with a fewer residue particles than ordinary rice wine, and a little more sweet and thicker, which has also made Lu Bu's mood gradually become happy.
This is human instinct, just like a blind bear licking honey.
Sugar is the most profound trace in human genes.
There is no benefit to eating too much sugar, there is no benefit to eating too much sugar, there is no benefit to eating too much sugar...
Say important things three times.
This sentence is a warning in the process of growing up in later generations, but the words say no, but the body is very honest. Because sugar is addictive, it is even higher than that of so-and-so. The reason why every sip of happy water is that it contains sugar that exceeds normal standards.
Now, as soon as the zhejiu wine appears, it almost became popular in Chang'an, replacing the original Western Regions spice wine, and becoming the latest fatty man Happy Water in the Han Dynasty.
In today's great man, no one can refuse a mouthful of happy water for a fat man...uh, zhejiu wine.
Lu Bu was originally just going to deal with Jia Xu's sip, otherwise he would have seemed timid, but he couldn't hold it back after taking a sip. After a moment, he took another sip, and then unknowingly, he drank all the jujube wine from the small wine gourd.
"If this wine is sold in the Western Regions," Jia Xu watched Lu Bu swaying the wine gourd, and did not mean to give his wine gourd to Lu Bu. Instead, he swayed it twice, took a sip, tasted it slowly before saying, "I don't know what the value is? Who wants to buy it?"
After drinking "Happy Water", Lu Bu's mood was obviously much better. He laughed and said, "No matter what others say, I will buy some if I say anything!"
Jia Xu nodded and said, "This is what the Lord uses to sanction the Western Regions... If the Western Regions are pacified again, this wine will be sold to Kushan, rest in peace, and stationed in customers, buy residences, practice the method of erosion, and promote the way of education..."
Lu Bu was stunned.
He looked at the wine gourd.
He held it up, it was like holding a knife in his hand, not a wine gourd, but a knife. He just swallowed the knife into his stomach, and he was quite happy.
"Wenhe...you...ah..." Lu Bu didn't know what to say, "Are you...you are born so calculating?"
Lu Bu might have wanted to say Fei Qian, but when he spoke, he turned a corner.
Jia Xu laughed, "This method is not a new creation! Isn't it the same when the lord entered Sichuan and Sichuan in the early years? It's just that he changed some artifacts! How can the sayings come about sooner or later?"
『…』 Lu Bu held his breath and vented it for a long time, silently not saying anything.
Jia Xu was not wrong. This is not a new method. When Fei sneaked into Sichuan, he was swaying with these gold and silver goods to open the way. This method was also not created by Fei Qian. How did the Taurus Road in Sichuan and Sichuan come about? Isn’t it just that this point has been explained?
"There are horses in Dayuan, we have wine..." Jia Xu laughed, then looked at Lu Bu and shook his head, "What a pity..."
Lu Bu suddenly felt that the happiness brought by the happiness water seemed to have passed, and the displeasure in his heart churned again, and he couldn't help but sink his face.
Jia Xu shook the wine gourd and took another sip. "After the quelling of the rebellion in the Western Regions, he established education, agriculture, labor examinations, and chambers of commerce in accordance with the law to meet the needs of the four people. At the same time, in Xihai City, a place where Han people gather, a place for officials such as households, warehouses, and law cadres to coordinate the handling of various political affairs. There are also inspections, direct yin, and the second left to govern the people... and the Grand Historian General leads military affairs..."
"Are soldiers and soldiers? They are to investigate and kill bandits, ping the local area, and resist foreign enemies..." Jia Xu raised his eyes and flew at Lu Bu, "This is the method to continue government affairs in the Western Regions... Well, this method to continue government affairs is not a new creation. Haha, it has been implemented in Longyou for a long time, and it is quite flexible and effective..."
Lu Bu pursed his lips, "...Wenhe is here to mock Yu?!"
Jia Xu shook his head and sighed, "No. It's just a slight sigh... The strategy is not a new strategy, the law is not a new law, the law is not a new law, this path... it is not a new way, what can you do?
Lu Bu narrowed his eyes and felt that Jia Xu said no, but he was intentional in his heart.
"What the lord thinks about is ordinary." Jia Xu shook the wine gourd in his hand, "If I hadn't got this zucchini wine, who would have known the beauty of nectar? If I hadn't done anything for the Western Regions, who would have known the complexity? Did Lu Fengxian have thought about whether you want to survive or die?"
『Life and death?』 Lu Bu stared at Jia Xu, "What do you say?"
"If you want to live, it's simple..." Jia Xu said slowly, "If you want to live, there are two ways. One is to go to Jiuyuan, return home and become a villager, and the other is to live in Chang'an and serve as the instructor of the military academy..."
Lu Bu pondered silently.
To be continued...
