Chapter 110: The extravagant banquet of the Duke of Chu's mansion

"I don't know how much it costs to spend such a mansion." I shook my head and was speechless, although I admired the view, but the problem was that I had to spend money to build such a mansion, unless my son was insane and his brain collapsed.

Now I live in this kind of courtyard, although it is also very large and very open, but I really don't like this kind of arrangement, I prefer the kind of villa in the later generations, the family can live in the same house. Then get a little scenery, there are gardens before and after the villa, there are also pastures, preferably larger, and you can run horses or something.

As for wanting to see the small bridge and flowing water, go to a place with such a scenery to see it, and live in a small bridge and flowing water hut every day, even if it is a young man like me, he can't stand it.

It seems that this is one of the differences between me, a traveler from the future, and people of this era, in terms of aesthetics, we are common, but in terms of living environment, there are still certain differences.

"It is said that the money spent on this Chu State Mansion is no less than two or three million." The old man took a deep breath and sighed.

After I heard this, I was very gloomy, yes, the property in my son's hand now plus a piece is less than a thousand guan, and in the Sui Dynasty, two hundred guan can get a set of small courtyards, and the consistent money can buy sixteen or seventeen stone of rice, that is to say, the consistent money of this era is equivalent to the value of four thousand yuan of prostitute coins in the twenty-first century.

Millions of runs, isn't that ...... Well, I quickly got the answer, one million guan is equivalent to four billion prostitute coins, then three million is equivalent to 12 billion prostitute coins, with so much money, only to build a mansion. When I got this value, I suddenly felt very powerless.

If this money is used to develop science and technology, I am sure that at least China's science and technology will lead the entire world for 500 years, even if it cannot lead the entire world for a thousand years.

If you don't say anything else, let's just say that gunpowder has begun to be used to make fireworks in small quantities, if this thing can be studied in depth and made into muskets and cannons, who in the whole world would dare to be crooked with our Chinese dick? If you can't kill him, it doesn't matter if you are a Xiongnu or a Turk, or a Khitan or a Jin, or a Mongol or a Manchu.

Don't say that you come in batches, even if you rush all together, you will still be killed by the firearms unit.

It is important to know that gunpowder has been used in the military since the end of the Tang Dynasty from the beginning of the military supply to the disappearance of gunpowder from military use. In the first year of Tang Zhaozong's Tianyou, that is, in 904 A.D., Yang Xingmi's army besieged Yuzhang, and the general Zheng Yi's department set off a flying fire, burned Longshamen, and led the strong men to break through the fire and enter the city first, scorching the body. The flying fire here is the prototype of artillery, arrows, and the like. From this time until the beginning of the twentieth century and the end of the nineteenth century, black powder was gradually replaced by chemical gunpowder, which lasted for nearly a thousand years.

And when the firearms matured, the cavalry began to gradually withdraw from people's sight, and the mobility and impact of the cavalry had become very powerless in the face of powerful firearms.

When I thought that I had crossed into the Sui Dynasty, and that the three dynasties of the Tang, Song and Ming dynasties would endure the invasion of nomads again and again, my son was angry, and he really couldn't appreciate this beautiful scenery.

"Brother Shilian, Xuan Gan has been waiting for you for a long time." After walking for a long time, I suddenly heard a very affectionate call, and when I looked up, about thirty steps ahead, at the door of a flower hall hidden among the flowers and trees, a middle-aged man with a three-foot long beard and a great capacity stood on the steps, smiling and raising his hand at us.

Well, this guy looks quite good, and he feels like the second brother of Sanguoguan, but his face is not so red, and his eyes are not the squinting Danfeng eyes, but if this guy is cleaned up by a makeup artist, he will definitely be a special actor of the second brother of Guan.

"Hehe, the little brother is late, and I ask my brother to forgive me, Wuji, haven't you seen the Duke of Chu yet?" The old uncle smiled, stepped forward quickly, and after saluting Yang Xuangan, he waved at me.

Before I bowed, I felt that my hands were already being supported, and when I looked up, I saw the tall and burly Yang Xuangan holding my saluting arm. Turning his head to his uncle, he sneered, "What do you mean? You and I are close friends, since Wuji is your nephew, then naturally he is also Yang's junior, if you don't call me uncle, then the two of you can enter my mansion. ”

Hearing this half-joking threat, my uncle couldn't help laughing heartily, and bowed slightly at me, and I respectfully bowed to Yang Xuangan: "Wuji has seen uncle." ”

"Well, okay, hurry up, you are worthy of being the child of Changsun Sheng, not only is the talent excellent, the writing is good, but the martial arts are not bad." Seeing the inexplicability on my face, Yang Xuan stroked his beard and patted me on the shoulder with a smile and said, "Yesterday, the virtuous brother went into the forest alone to hunt tigers, and the old man already knew the reputation of the tiger's eyes in the arrows. ”

Hearing this, I couldn't help but sweat in Lushan Waterfall, it seems that although the news media in this era is not developed, there are too many gossip kings, yesterday's name of this son Tiger Hunting Hero has reached the ears of dignitaries like Yang Xuangan today, it is really powerful.

After a greeting at the door, I entered the flower hall and saw more than a dozen maids standing on both sides of the hall, and there were three tables in the hall, each of which had twelve plates of dishes and soups, and directly opposite the main seat, I could see several maids holding musical instruments and kneeling quietly. Seeing this kind of extravagant banquet scene, I couldn't help but secretly speak, even if it was a five-star hotel in the future, it was not so good.

"Come on, come on, I heard that the virtuous brother and the virtuous nephew are coming together, and a certain has already made a little thin wine, don't dislike it." After Yang Xuangan sat down, he motioned for us to sit down, and said very modestly in his mouth.

The old uncle smiled, picked up the wine cup on the desk and saluted Yang Xuangan Yao: "Brother, don't say such things, if you really think so, then the little brother will never dare to invite you to the cold house again." ”

Well, my uncle is very funny, and although this Yang Xuangan is a little embarrassed, it can be seen that he is a very talkative person who also likes to make friends, so that when you get along with him, you won't feel that he will bring you bullying, or open your mouth to your grandfather, close your mouth to this book, no wonder there can be thousands of diners, and all the guests from all over the world praise his generosity.

Well, at this time, with Yang Xuangan's gesture, those music girls began to play music, in ancient times, when eating to enjoy singing and dancing, this is not just a habit, but also a custom, I remember that I once read a record about the Tang Dynasty when I was wandering around the Internet, and there are regulations on how many music girls can play there during each meal.

It can be seen that the ancient times attached great importance to music, and even Kong Lao Er had to play six arts, of which the second item was music.

Well, Xiaoqu is good, and the uncle seems to be worthy of being friends with Yang Xuangan, and he began to talk when he saw him, and even my nephew seemed to have forgotten about it, well, it doesn't matter to me, anyway, there is wine, there are delicacies, and even a maid who pours wine, well, although this girl is not fragrant and beautiful, but at least it can be regarded as a middle-class asset, and there are more than 20 maids in the hall, including the music girl, and they all have their own characteristics, of course, it does not refer to the crooked melons and cracked dates.
