Chapter 131: The Drunken Mantra
After a glass of wine, Yao Qichang shouted "Good wine!" He raised his glass and poured a few drops of wine left in the cup into his mouth, tasted it carefully, and then said: "Rare good wine, I don't know what kind of wine?" ”
Su Yunhai smiled and said, "Ten years of Cangzhou wine." ”
"Cangzhou wine?" Yan Qichang wondered: "Such a good wine, why is it not well-known?" ”
"This wine is famous all over the world, but Shopkeeper Yao doesn't know it." Su Yunhai beckoned to pour wine, and then said with a smile: "This wine is made by the Cangzhou family, the market only hears its name, but does not see its wine, this wine is only given away and not sold, even if the princes and nobles of the Beijing division are rare to see, this jar of wine is a parting gift from Brother Lu when he went to Cangzhou downstream." ”
And liquor that money can't buy? Yi Zhishu was quite unimpressed, his ability to taste wine was too poor, easy to get down his throat, he was not uncomfortable when drunk, he didn't have a headache, it was good wine for him, but from Su Yunhai's words, he felt that this person seemed to be more than just a Xiucai who likes to travel all over the world, and he immediately asked: "I don't know where Brother Rong has traveled?" ”
"That's a lot." Su Yunhai seemed to be tickled, and said with a smile: "From Liaodong in the east, to Nanyang in the south, to Yungui in the west, and to the desert in the north, it can be said that the footprints are all over the world." ”
This, there are no trains, cars, planes, and ships these days, and it is not a simple matter to run all over the east, west, north and south of the Qing Dynasty, and it takes a long time, because the other party is Su Mengdie's brother, he is not easy to question, and said with a smile at the moment: "I can't go out of Guangzhou under the footprint, compared with Brother Yourong, it is really a frog at the bottom of the well." ”
"Contentment is too humble." Su Yunhai said with a smile: "Who in Xiguan doesn't know how to be content with learning from China and the West? In terms of the broadening of horizons, who in the whole city of Guangzhou can be content? As he spoke, he raised his glass and said: "Come, this cup is a cup of contentment for my brother and Dieniang, this tea shop has made a lot of money, and it is all about contentment." As he spoke, he was dry again.
Xue Qigui also raised his glass and said: "I have benefited a lot from following, thank you Yida shopkeeper." ”
The degree of this wine is not low, although the entrance is luscious, the throat is clean, but the wine taste is mellow, and it is easy to know that today's wine banquet is a little strange, and the heart has been tense, and immediately smiled: "The amount of wine is very shallow, so drunk so violently, you can't ...... be drunk." ”
"Contentment is free." Su Yunhai said disapprerovingly: "The southerners like tea, the northerners are good at wine, for my brother, this amount of wine is practiced at sea and in the north, if you are content to go to sea for a few months, this amount of wine will definitely be good." ”
Can you still train to drink when you go to sea? Yi Zhishu turned his mind and understood, sailing on the sea, not to mention the long time and extremely boring, drinking from time to time to relieve boredom, naturally the amount of alcohol increased greatly, he was not polite, drank half a glass, secretly wondered, look at this look, it doesn't seem to want to get drunk with him, is it because he has too many hearts?
Su Yunhai not only drinks a lot, but also has excellent eloquence, while drinking, chattering, the world is from the north to the south, anecdotes, he comes casually, but he can always arouse the interest of a few people, a few people chatting while drinking, less than half an hour, a jar of wine has reached the bottom, Yi Zhizhi said that although he drank less, it was also six or seven glasses down, and the wine glasses that several people drank were nine money cups, and six or seven glasses were more than half a catty.
Yi Zhizhi knows the amount of alcohol he drinks, half a catty is no problem, but this Cangzhou wine is really mellow, he already faintly feels a little drunk, fortunately, Su Yunhai did not continue to call for wine, asked people to serve tea, and a few people drank tea and chatted.
However, Su Yunhai's topic has shifted from anecdotal to court affairs, talking about grain shipping, salt policy innovation, and rectification of government affairs, he is not only eloquent, but also very insightful, and his evaluation is also quite pertinent.
Unexpectedly, Su Yunhai's words suddenly changed, and said: "Although it is said that today is determined to innovate and refresh the rule of officials, but since Kangqian, the White Lotus Sect has hollowed out the family foundation of the Qing Dynasty, the rebellion of Zhanger in Xinjiang, and the continuous riots of the Miao people and the Yao people are tantamount to adding insult to injury, and the full of people's qi is afraid to be exhausted." ”
Yi Zhixin clearly knew the trend of history, and said with a smile: "A hundred-legged insect, dead but not stiff, although the treasury is empty and the place is turbulent, but the imperial court has not increased the endowment, and it is not enough to shake the fundamental ......." ”
"Oh?" Su Yunhai said with a smile: "Contentment seems to be quite optimistic about this great Qing Dynasty? ”
"It doesn't matter if you're optimistic or not." Yi Zhizhi said disapprerovingly: "It's just a lingering breath, but I think that it is okay to make trouble in the country, the meat is rotten and rotten in the pot, but the border rebellion is not good, it must be resolutely suppressed, and there is no softness at all, and there is no sympathy, especially in the northwest!"
Domestic trouble, that is the people are not living, it is the people in order to survive, in order to survive, but the Northwest Frontier is different, that is for the sake of secession, in order to establish himself as the king, to suppress Zhang Ge's rebellion, the thirteen lines before and after the donation of nearly two million taels of silver, I think this silver donation is the most meaningful! ”
Although Su Yunhai drank the most wine, he was not drunk at all, and when he heard this, he said in a deep voice: "Although the Northwest Frontier is for secession, it has also dealt a heavy blow to the Qing court, right?" ”
Yi Zhizu glanced at him and said disdainfully: "Woman's opinion." ”
What does a woman think? Su Yunhai's face was a little ugly, and he said after a while: "I wish to be content with my knowledge." ”
"It's not a high opinion." Yi Zhizhi said with a smile: "It's like a big family making housework, no matter how much trouble the children make, but you can't cheapen the family property to outsiders, once the Northwest Frontier is separated, who will be cheaper?" Britain and Russia are cheaper, and it will be difficult to take them back later. ”
Su Yunhai followed the conversation and said, "What about the rebellion in Fujian and Guangzhou?" ”
"Liangguang Fujian?" Yi Zhizu waved his hand, and said with disdain: "The rebellion in Liangguang and Fujian is like a child's house, in addition to harming the people, or harming the people, Brother Rong should be familiar with history books, from ancient times to the present, whether it is secession or chaos in the south, it is difficult to become a climate, China is unified, it has always been from north to south, from south to north counterattack, only Zhu Yuanzhang succeeded." ”
Hearing this, Su Yunhai couldn't help but be stunned, thinking about it carefully, it was really like this, looking at Yi Zhi, who was obviously a little drunk, he was speechless for a while, he really didn't expect that this Yi Da shopkeeper, who was familiar with the economy, actually knew the history of the military, and after a while, he was very unwilling to say: "Isn't there another Zhu Yuanzhang who succeeded." ”
"That's different." Yi Zhizhi said: "How many years did the Yuan Dynasty rule? Less than a hundred years, what about the Manchus? It's been almost 200 years. As he spoke, he threw the braid at the back of his head in front of him, pinched the braid and trembled, and said, "This braid has been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people." ”
Su Yunhai smiled: "Contentment seems to be very dissatisfied with braids? ”
"This pig's tail is as ugly as it looks, and sooner or later, I'll cut it." Yi Zhishu flicked it, wrapped his braid around his neck, picked up the wine glass, and said, "Come, let's go." ”
