In the blink of an eye, after noon, the rain was a little lighter, but it did not stop. Yang Huairen looked at the blisters in the courtyard that were beaten by raindrops in a pool of stagnant water, and said to himself, "Does this kind of rain indicate that summer is coming?" ”

Sister Ghost looked puzzled, "Spring in the north is short. ”

Yang Huairen didn't answer again, but said to his subordinates, "Eat some dry food, if this rain doesn't stop, I'm afraid we will have to stay in this village." ”

The crowd took out dry food from the revenge to feed their stomachs. said that it was dry food, but in fact, it was different from ordinary dry food, Yang Huairen made a lot of chicken cakes a few days ago, and the amount of milk was too much.

Originally, because there was no shortage of milk in Dading Mansion, and it was idle to be idle, so I made some chicken cakes to make the ghost sister happy, but no one expected that when I caught up with the escape, the pile of chicken cakes happened to be flattened into chicken cake cakes and turned into dry food to carry around.

A personal girl of Sister Ghost, eating chicken cakes, unconsciously smiled, "What my uncle makes is delicious, no wonder I put myself in the ring, I haven't met an opponent in such a big Zhongjing City." ”

Sister Ghost is actually not very old, but looking at the younger girl who is close to her, she does not treat her as a person, but she has a strong consciousness of being a sister.

The little girl praised Yang Huairen, but said that the ghost sister's heart was happy, and while handing the kettle over, she helped the little girl wipe the cake crumbs on the corner of her mouth, "You will eat it." ”

The little girl squinted and smiled, enjoying the love of the princess's sister. Just open your mouth again, and you say the wrong thing.

"Is the food in the Song Dynasty so delicious? If this is the case, then everyone is not willing to be a Song person, who is willing to be a Liao person? ”

Sister Ghost's face was a little ugly, and she pinched the little girl's ears with a gesture, "It's not honest to eat!" ”

Yang Huairen turned his back to them, but there was a light smile on his face. Yes, the things of the Great Song Dynasty are so delicious, who doesn't want to be a Song person?

If everyone in the world thought so, then things would be much simpler, and there would be a lot less unnecessary strife and war.

To a large extent, the differences in countries are related to the differences of nationalities, and each country is gradually established by the same or similar nationalities.

Let's just say that the countries around the Great Song Dynasty are almost all like this, of course, excluding the Great Liao, whose national strength and the Great Song Dynasty are almost equal.

The strength of the Great Liao is shown in the military, and in terms of economy, even the tail of the Great Song Dynasty cannot catch up.

However, Daliao can never be said to be a single ethnic state, although the Khitans are the rulers of this country, the number of Khitans has not exceeded half of the country's population.

The number of Han people is almost the same as that of the Khitans, and there are dozens or hundreds of other ethnic minorities with varying populations, distributed in the land of Liao.

Now that the Khitans are in power, it doesn't mean that the Khitans will be able to rule like this for a long time.

Isn't it just to give them official positions for no reason so that the Han people, who are the second largest ethnic group in the Liao State, can accept the rule of the Khitans with peace of mind?

It is precisely because of this population classification system that other ethnic minorities are dissatisfied, and they may not dare to show it on the surface, but if the opportunity really comes, they will immediately change from harmless rabbits to vicious and brave hungry wolves.

The rule of the great power will never last long, and this will be true of the Khitans and the Mongols in the future.

Therefore, Yang Huairen felt that the only way to unify the land of China was to continuously assimilate these ethnic minorities with culture, education, living habits, and food.

And the nation with this qualification and heritage is none other than the Han people.

The only way to make the most significant difference in the short term is diet.

The way of eating is not to make everyone eat the same thing, it is impossible, from south to north, from east to west, China is too big, different regions have different climates, and naturally people in different places have different eating habits.

But there is one thing, delicious things, in the taste of the Chinese, there is hardly a big difference.

Especially in the current era when the material is far worse than that of later generations, there is still a great chance that everyone will love to eat a delicious dish in the south of the Yangtze River, or in the Northeast, or in the Central Plains or Northwest.

When there is a commonality in everyone's eating habits, cultural similarities and inclusiveness will gradually emerge.

So Yang Huairen made enough money and began to establish food bases in various parts of the Great Song Dynasty, and built a kitchen academy in the mountain col behind Zhuangzi.

To promote delicious things, one is to enrich the types of food of the common people, and the other is to use similar foods to narrow the distance between people in various places.

For the people of Liao, if their living and dietary standards are one or even several grades worse than those of the Great Song Dynasty, will they not be hot?

Then in order to bridge this imbalance, there will inevitably be two outcomes, one is war, and war is used to plunder better resources and better food.

The second is integration, everyone becomes a family, what you have and I also have, simple and direct.

The second route sounds simple, but the process is not as simple as it seems. What Yang Huairen wants to do is to make such a bridge a reality through trade.

Liao is inevitably in chaos, even if it is not now, in the next ten to twenty years, there will inevitably be people who will rise up against the rule of the Khitans, whether it is Jurchen or Mongolia, this day will come sooner or later.

What Yang Huairen needs to do is to wait for them to fight, and turn the Liao State into a mess, and then he jumps out to clean up the mess.

At the crossroads of life, sometimes the person who reminds you which way to go is not necessarily a gray-haired, white-bearded wise man.

At this moment, the dream in his heart had a general direction of feasible implementation, and Yang Huairen's heart was a lot easier.

He turned around and said to Sister Ghost, "This girl is good." ”

Sister Ghost doesn't know if she is jealous, thinking of the habits of the Han people, her dowry girl will inevitably become a maid in the room.

I wanted to be angry with the little girl, but looking at the cute appearance of the cake she ate, I couldn't get angry, so I had to pinch the little girl's face lovingly, "Did you hear it, my uncle praised you." ”

The little girl didn't understand what was going on, so she wiped her mouth, "Hmm? ”

……

General Su Wei chased out fifty or sixty miles, and he was about to arrive in Yuzhou, but he didn't see any of Yang Huairen's figure, he couldn't help but muttered in his heart, could it be that Yang Huairen was taking the northern route? It can't be that more than 100 of them put on wings and fly.

He ordered more than a dozen of his subordinates and ordered them to continue southward and enter Yuzhou to inquire to see if there was any news of Yang Huairen passing by, while he himself led the team to turn around and prepare to return to the crossroads.
