Chapter 1023: Leading the Rice

What Yan Xiao did was a miracle in itself, and it would be difficult to succeed without a strong driving force.

"Legend has it that Yan Xiao's parents and sister were killed by the Duo people?"

"It's not a legend, it's true. Feng Liwan corrected him, "Yan Xiao moved east with his family at the age of eleven, and was chased and killed by the Duo people, and only eleven of the hundred or so people of the whole clan fled to the Liang realm, and successfully obtained the protection of the Great Liang. This paragraph was written into the history books of Daliang, and I have also read it. ”

Obviously, regarding the history of Yan Xiao's restoration, Liang Guo's record is much more objective than Xuanguo's own.

She then said: "Yan Xiao's family is sixteen, and only he and his two younger brothers survived. Therefore, when he was young, he was determined to take revenge and restore his country. ”

Yan Saburo nodded: "No wonder he killed the men of the Duo royal family after he broke through Anlai City, and he didn't even let go of the baby." ”

Dynasty changes are common in this world. Usually after the new king ascends the throne, he will open up to the old royal family to show his benevolence, give a remote fief, and then give a title with no real name, no power and no position, and let it fend for itself. Because of the rotation of feng shui, the fault is not a deep hatred, otherwise it is rarely killed.

This is not the case with Tong Yuanren.

More than 700 men of the Duo royal family were beheaded for public display, not even fifteen-day-old babies, and the fate of women was even more miserable, as they were used as official concubines under the age of 50, and no less than 20 guests were served every day. Therefore, in the first two years of the Xuanguo Kingdom, more than 200 daughters of the original Duo Kingdom clan were unbearable and committed suicide one after another.

However, such violent methods also broke the thoughts of Xi and Duo, and Xuanguo was peaceful for ten years. "The original royal family is gone, and the grass-headed people want to rise up, but they are always not right.

"It's just a matter of accumulation. Yan Saburo shook his head, "Sooner or later, there will always be an outbreak." Even Rong Sheng mentioned this matter in class, so it was naturally discussed as an example of tyranny.

"Isn't it?" Feng Liwan sighed, "Many people believe that the regent is now cleaning up the mess left by Yan Xiao. The Tong Yuan clan is lucky, both of these uncles and nephews are talented, and they are in the same lineage. ”

"Yan Xiao is more than just these two nephews, right?"

"More than that. Feng Liwan said with a smile, "According to age, Brother Yan Lie ranks third and fourth in the clan, and there are two cousins above, who are also very outstanding, but it is not like them who occupy the position of a pillar country." ”

Yan Saburo thought thoughtfully: "The relationship between Xuanguo and Liang is also very close. ”

"The Yan family once took refuge in Daliang, and received the favor of the Liang State, and the Tongyuan tribe's counterattack was also supported by our country. ”

Yan Saburo sighed: "No wonder Concubine Yu was given to King Xuan." ”

For the sake of the long-term relations between the two countries, what is it to sacrifice a weak woman? In the past many years, the people of Liang probably don't remember this stunning beauty.

Feng Liwan pursed his lips, unable to say anything, he could only sigh. A little mud splashed by the wheels of the current situation and national fortune falls on a person's head, and it is a sinking mountain.

Even if it was the youngest daughter of the victorious king who was in full swing.

is also a woman, and she can only sigh. Didn't you work the battlefield to avoid such a fate?

The two of them had their own thoughts, and the carriage returned to the inn.

Yan Saburo walked into the small garden, and as soon as he said goodbye to Feng Li and returned to the house, Jin Yu didn't know where to come out.

The boy asked him, "What is going on in the morning?"

"Yes. Jin Yu pointed to Yan Saburo's house, "The next person came to clean up, and knocked on the door twice in an hour, but no one answered." ”

"No one broke in?"

"Nope. "After all, this is a post house in Anlai City, and the safety is still guaranteed," but I inquired a little, and the inn rooms are cleaned once every three days, unless the guest requests otherwise. ”

Everyone only checked in last night, why are the people so diligent, and come to clean up early in the morning? But Yan Saburo is not there yet?

Obviously, this is a temptation.

Yan Saburo changed the subject: "Where is the dim sum shop?"

"Honeysuckle hasn't come yet. Jin Yu said in a low voice, "Stupid way, I can only wait." ”

Yan Saburo nodded: "Is there a fire cloud burning in that shop?" If so, help me bring some back." Then he explained, "Red yeast glutinous rice is made into the outer skin, and the bread is filled with bean paste, lard and sesame seeds, and pressed into a cloud-like mold, and what comes out is Huoyunyao." ”

Jin Yu was stunned for a moment, and then said hello, and then remembered that the new owner was also a Liang person, which was probably a local dim sum in Liang Kingdom.

The wind and rain stopped early, and it was a sunny day. Yan Saburo didn't even take off his coat and said, "It's noon, you go and call your brother, and we'll go out to eat together." ”

Hearing that the leader meant to take care of the food and food, Jin Yu responded with a smile and went to call people. Chitose didn't like it: "Don't you take a break?"

"It's not that delicate. Yan Saburo said with a smile, "I've come all the way through the mountains and rivers, what's the matter of entering the palace in a carriage?" As long as the flow of qi and blood around his body does not speed up, there will be no problem with his heart.

Before long, a group of twenty people and a graceful girl in red stepped out of the post house and drove to Ji Temple.

No man was allowed to gallop on horseback in any capital, except by charter. Therefore, the best way for everyone to get around is a horse-drawn carriage.

Yan Saburo went to the palace in the morning, and he was going to the place of people's livelihood at noon. The road ahead is getting narrower and narrower, and it is no longer as straight and wide as it was in the morning, but it is lined with shops, signs and signs, customers haggling, children playing in the streets, and sometimes crashing into horse-drawn carriages......

Even so, it is full of fireworks.

In terms of area, Anlai City is less than half the size of Shengyi, but the latter is the result of repeated expansion of the capital of many dynasties; in terms of prosperity, it is more than Yan Saburo's original estimate, after all, when he arrived in Anlai City yesterday, it was late, and the city imposed a curfew, and everywhere seemed to be deserted, and he didn't want to be so lively during the day.

He did his basic homework, and there were two commercial markets in Anlai City, north and south. There are many shops in Beishang Market, and the goods sold are more expensive, but the quality is also good, and there are many gold medal time-honored brands here, while there are many stalls in Nanshang Market, and there are all kinds of strange things, and the prices are also cheap.

Now everyone chooses to go to Beishang City, all the way to the people's livelihood.

Chitose held his chin and looked out the window: "More prosperous than I thought." ”

Huo Dongjin had already gone out in the morning to take a look around. Yan Saburo looked at her. Now that she can show up at noon, he doesn't have to look at the beauty under the candlelight every day, "In fact, the tax of Xuanguo is not high, and the local area of Anlai City is only one out of ten taxes, no matter which ethnic group is treated equally." This tax rate is a little lower than that of the Patriotic Empire, and there are not too many miscellaneous taxes. ”
