Before waiting for the people who came to Surabaya County, Zheng Jun found Lu Zhe.
It turned out that Xiang's envoys found Zheng and asked Zheng Jun to introduce Lu Zhe, Zheng decided to explore the tone first, and Zheng Jun took advantage of the convenience of official business.
The Zheng family has been taking refuge in Lu Zhe for more than four months, and the children of the clan have many positions in Nanjun, but those are all positions without a name, and they are not official positions in the real sense.
Many people in Nanjun have strange names, such as what is the position of commander of 5,000 people in the army, and what is the name of the unification association for the civil administration.
Zheng Jun is currently a unified association, and that is because he is familiar with commercial affairs, so Lu Zhe also gave him the name of a merchant and specialized in managing business in the county.
Nanjun business is very prosperous, in fact, there is no ghost if it is not prosperous, after all, in addition to Nanjun, which county in the south is not full of war, businessmen have the nature of avoiding harm and seeking profit, where there is stability and interests, they will run wherever they go.
Lu Zhe encouraged a lot of things in the county, everything that is conducive to development will be encouraged, such as the weaving industry is prevalent because of a large number of military purchases, there is not much land in the county to grow hemp, so some people dare to go to the counties to buy cloth and hemp, and a group of people who went to Shu County even brought back a horse called Shu Jin.
Shu brocade originated in the Warring States Period, mostly with the warp color color, color stripes add flowers, warp and weft flowers, first color stripes and then brocade groups. Square, bar, geometric skeleton icing, symmetrical pattern, square continuous, bright color, strong contrast and other characteristics.
A batch of Shu brocade in the current value from 30 to 50 Yi gold, is a real luxury, and it seems that Shu brocade is not want to buy can be bought, generally directly into the palace Xianyang, the number of inflow into the people is very small.
What can a piece of gold do now? You can buy about 500 stone of grain and about 100 horses of linen. About thirty slaves. Of course, that was the price before the war began, after the outbreak of the war, the value of grain cloth increased several times, but the price of slaves has been decreasing, and now one gold can buy fifty slaves in the tooth market.
The merchant who brought back Shu Jin wanted to dedicate Shu Jin to Lu Zhe, and Zheng Jun came over with this excuse.
Lu Zhe was not surprised when he saw Shu Jin, he had seen a lot of more gorgeous things, and he would be surprised if he brought cotton clothes.
Isn't Shu brocade a kind of silk, there are many of these things in modern shopping malls.
Lu Zhe's indifferent eyes and disdainful expression made Zheng Jun swallow what he wanted to say.
This batch of Shu brocade is about three zhang long. The color is mainly red, and a large number of flower patterns are embroidered on it, Lu Zhe felt that such silk was not suitable for men at all, so he shouted Yixiu and said casually, "Make a few clothes to wear." Then the wing flail next to him was so excited that his face turned red.
A treasure worth at least thirty Yi gold, this is a gift, which made Zheng Jun can't help but stare at Yixiu with ruddy cheeks, and after looking at it for a while, he stood up and saluted Yixiu who was about to walk back to the inner tent.
Yi Xiu couldn't see Zheng Jun saluting with the back of his head. She hugged Shu brocade and stepped into the inner tent with small steps.
"What's the matter," Lu Zhe raised his teacup and took a sip, "Say it." ”
Tea is roasted tea. It tastes a bit like oolong tea, but it's definitely not oolong tea, in fact, I don't know what to call it, it may be some mistakes in the process, it tastes a little bitter but not sweet, because it is a red liquid brewed out, so it is also called black tea. It was Lu Zhe who was not used to drinking the current boiled tea, so he asked the tea merchant to experiment and fry it, but he didn't expect the experiment to come out.
Zheng Jun's mood was inexplicably a little low, and he said, "The Huiji Xiang clan sent someone to ask for a meeting." ”
Words that should have been excited, proud, and proud are so boring to say in such a voice.
As if stunned for a moment, Lu Zhe asked directly: "What about people?" ”
You need to have a reason to be down! As the lord of Nanjun, Lu Zhe, who has always been single, doesn't know how many people in Lu Dao are staring at, and all the girls in the clan who are to be married are having the same dream, but Lu Zhe has never had a banquet, and others who have banquets have only sent cronies to deal with it, and there is no chance to recommend the young lady to be married in the clan.
In addition to boiling or boiling, stir-fried vegetables only appeared in the Song Dynasty, such a banquet has no food, and Lu Zhe doesn't understand the sentiment of singing and dancing, and he doesn't have to deliberately stammer anyone, people come to slap him almost the same, and he only feels bored when he goes.
There are many people who know that Yixiu often haunts Lu Zhe's military tent, but they always thought that he was a maid or something, until he saw Lu Zhe taking Shu brocade as a gift to Zheng Jun just now and realized that it was not so simple.
Adjusting his mood, Zheng Jun said: "People are in Jiangling, waiting for the call of the county lord at any time." ”
Looking at the schedule he wrote, what Lu Zhe had to do today was to make a plan to immigrate to Linyuan County, Qianzhong County, and he thought for a while: "Find them." ”
The news of the Xiang clan's army in Huiji has not yet reached Nanjun, and Lu Zhe is very curious about what the Xiang clan wants to do, but it will not be to investigate the killing of Fan Zeng, and if it is to investigate the killing, he will not send people to come at all.
Of course, Zheng Jun would not convey it in person, and when he saw Lu Zhe's contemplation, he sat quietly, and drank the tea without a sip.
Huaxia is a nation that likes to drink tea, but don't misunderstand one thing, for example, fried tea is popular as soon as it appears, in fact, there are not many people who like to like fried tea, the reason why they like to drink tea is not how delicious the tea is, but the tea brewing process that seems to be elegant and can show status.
In the Qin period, tea was not exactly a drink, it was a medicine, usually used as a medicine primer, only a few noble people knew that drinking tea is beneficial to the body, and developed the habit of drinking tea. Therefore, if the identity is not enough, it will be strange to drink medicine for what is not sick.
It's only about two quarters of an hour, right? The fierce three outside the tent came in to pray. Said it was brought by someone.
Only Cao Ji and Xiang Wei walked into the tent, their weapons had already been taken away, and the black linen clothes on the two of them were replaced by loose dresses with jade belts tied around their waists. Now people call it Lianxie, and later generations call it Hanfu.
The Chu people are still yellow, the Qin people are still black, the Yan people are still green, the Zhao people are still purple, and the Qi people are still white. The Wei people are still red, and the Koreans are still blue. Of course, the color of this "Shang" has nothing to do with the five virtues cycle. Oh, the cycle of five virtues is the historical view of Zou Yan, the yin-yang master of the Warring States Period, the multiplication of water, fire, wood, metal, and earth, until it was used by a group of literati scum to show that the rebellion was justified, and it was used to show that the change of dynasty was in accordance with the will of heaven.
The Xiang envoys wore yellow costumes, apparently specifically to show their identity, and after they walked in, they kept the posture of the head of the house, looking at the posture of walking into the tent and the posture of saluting, as if what was the meaning?
Lu Zhe didn't understand. But Zheng Jun understood, and the chief inspector stepped on small steps, and his long arms bowed his head from side to side, which was clearly a etiquette that would only be used when meeting princes.
There were probably a few minutes. Cao Zhi and Xiang Wei stood up straight, and then arched their hands again, and Cao Zhi said: "Huiji visitor, please see the co-owners of Nanjun and Qianzhong County." ”。 As he spoke, he bent down and saluted.
I have to say that there are really enough movements in this set of etiquette, and it looks quite quaint.
"Sit down." Lu Zhe raised his right arm and asked for it.
Cao Ji and Xiang Wei quietly glanced at each other. Seeing that Lu Zhe did not refuse the courtesy of the princes, he felt a little excited.
After the two sat down, Lu Zhe turned his head to look at the wing flail: "Order someone to prepare wine and meat." ”
The flail gave up his hand and left.
Cao Ji, who was kneeling, straightened his waist, and his arms were in a posture of left and right: "The military power is prosperous, and the wealth under the rule is for Lu Houhe." ”
Lu Zhe just looked at it and didn't speak, Zheng Jun next to him looked at what to do, what Xiang said in the season was not nonsense, but the "defense ceremony" of the two sides in contact, which was a very traditional and aristocratic etiquette.
Zheng Jun first saluted Lu Zhe respectfully, and then looked at Cao Zhe. He also sat in a sitting posture of kneeling and standing upright, and then folded his arms left and right, and said loudly: "The family and the country are Kangtai, the army and the people are harmonious, congratulations to Nanjun!" ”
Waiting for a response, Cao Ji, who stood up again, was still facing Lu Zhe: "There will be guests, come with a salute, and call together." ”
Zheng Jun couldn't answer this sentence, it was saying that the meeting had a guest, and he came with great courtesy, and he wanted to make friends, I don't know what Lu Dao Lu Zhe's attitude was.
"......" Lu Zhe could see that it was a kind of diplomatic etiquette, and he basically understood the meaning of the Xiang envoy, and nodded at Zheng Jun.
Zheng Jun breathed a sigh of relief, and said loudly again: "Shanye, vote for me with papaya, and repay it with Qiongju." (From the Book of Songs. Wei Feng. Papaya"
In the end, he is not a qualified ancient man who understands etiquette, otherwise Lu Zhe should now chant loudly, "There are guests and guests, and they are also white horses." There are some and there are beyond, and they are ready to travel. There are guest accommodations, and there are guest letters. Words and teachings, in order to tie their horses. Bo Yan chases him, and he follows it left and right. There is both obscenity and power, and blessing Kongyi. This is from the Book of Songs. There are guests to express their attitude, not just sit with a smile.
In fact, the current Lu Zhe only feels that this scene is interesting, especially in the later stage, Cao Ji and Zheng Jun have been using the poems in the Book of Poetry to express the meaning, although he did not understand all of them, but he can see the intention of the Xiang envoys to use this process to express the family lineage.
Xiang Liang, who was sitting next to him, was full of smiles, and he didn't feel anything when he saw that Lu Zhe didn't reply from beginning to end, after all, someone went to visit Xiang Liang, if it wasn't for a friend, Xiang Liang had always asked his subordinates to answer, which was a gesture and a noble practice, and if Lu Zhe personally replied, it would be called off.
Lu Zhe remembered a few poems, most of which were from the Tang Dynasty, but it was impossible to use them, because on this occasion they were not chanting poems against each other, but chatting with poems.
Confucius said: If you don't read poetry, you can't speak. (To be continued......)
