Chapter 145 The fat sheep is coming
Li Wuji was a Khitan. Although there are only two surnames in Liao Kingdom today, Yelu and Xiao, if you trace it back, the Khitans in the tribal period once surrendered to the Tang Dynasty, and many upper-class figures were given the surname Li, and Li Wuji's ancestors were one of them.
Their tribe lived in Yingzhou for generations. Later, the Khitan founded the country and Li Wuji's ancestors did not catch up. Later, the Song Dynasty took control of Yingzhou, and the Li family became a citizen of the Song Dynasty.
Li Wuji knew since childhood that they were different from others. Whenever they were sacrificed, they were not like the three animals, five animals or seven animals used by the Han people. They used green cows and white horses.
Moreover, the small village hardly married outsiders. All the children, such as farming and hunting, learning martial arts, bowing, horses, riding and shooting, no one thought about studying and taking the imperial examination. Those were all things from the Han people and they couldn't play at all.
Despite these differences, they still live a peaceful life, without competing with the world, and be safe and happy.
Until a sudden flood destroyed the village and Li Wuji's life.
He was forced to carry my mother on his back, and like everyone else, he left his hometown and made a living everywhere. The court initially distributed food, but later it was cut off.
Li Wuji tried to find a job to make money, but even the Han people could not find a livelihood. Who would leave the opportunity for them? Gradually, Li Wuji and some young people in the village gathered together, and they lived by snatching them.
It is said that it is a robbery, but it is actually a gift on the face. It is nothing more than a big guy hunting a dog today and stealing a pig tomorrow, and it will be difficult to maintain it.
But God didn't want to let them go, Shanghukou broke the dike again, and the water became even more fierce. It actually destroyed their temporary shelter and swept away dozens of lives.
My aunt's family is among them. My mother's dead sister was crying and her eyes were blind.
Facing the surging river, Li Wuji could only carry his mother again and flee to Cangzhou. When he arrived here, he heard that someone went out to sea to catch whales. The huge whales were covered with fat, enough for thousands of people to eat.
Li Wuji didn't believe it, but when he first saw a whale, he was completely stunned, crazy, and his eyes were red. Such a huge piece of meat, what's wrong with a little bit of it!
By the way, Li Wuji led his brothers to the dock, and this time he almost lost his life.
Looking back, I felt chill all over and kept shivering.
It turns out that I am so close to death?
Li Wuji was afraid of death and was afraid of leaving me behind. He was afraid of too much stuff. He just wanted to say that it was great to survive.
"I'm right?"
Wang Ning'an stood in front of Li Wuji with his hands behind his back, and said with a smile: "You are still guilty now. You must obey my orders and perform this drama well. If something goes wrong, I can send you to the dock and chop it up at any time!"
Wang Ning'an was very rude. Li Wuji grinned and almost cried. He had lived so big that he had never been afraid of anything, but he could not act.
"Sir, I won't be able to change someone else!"
"Bah, how can you say that a very big man is not right?" Wang Ning'an said angrily: "From now on, you must obey my orders. If you dare to disobey, I have a hundred ways to make you unable to survive or die!"
Wang Ning'an might think that his words were too harsh. He tried hard to squeeze out a smile, "Don't worry, what I made you do is very comfortable. Even for your two mothers, you can't be a coolie all the time?"
Under Wang Ning'an's guidance, Li Wuji finally nodded.
However, he soon realized the feeling of "life is worse than death". What Wang Ning'an needs is Li Wuji to play a businessman and a wealthy businessman who masters the winery!
With his Khitan status, he can gain the trust of the other party.
But the problem is that Li Wuji is big and thick, and has a tendon and fleshy body, so he doesn't look like it at all, so he has to process it.
Wang Ning'an said that merchants want to be fat. Li Wuji had to eat five meals a day, with fragrant lard rice and thick pork belly. On the first day, Li Wuji was moved to tears. He felt that he could eat it for the rest of his life, but on the fifth day, he couldn't stand it anymore. When he saw the oily rice, he got goose bumps all over his body and shivered. He dared to swear that every bite of rice was pressed down, and even his esophagus was filled.
Li Wuji lay weakly on the chair. He begged Wang Ning'an, hoping to go out and run wildly, until he lost all his strength and collapsed on the ground. That would be great.
Wang Ning'an shook his head firmly, what a joke, your belly has not yet bulged, your face is not glossy yet, you say you are a rich businessman, but you believe it!
"I'll tell you, it's not easy to accumulate some fat. If you dare to make trouble, be careful that I will punish you severely."
He scared me again! Li Wuji widened his strange eyes and said angrily: "You torture me like this because I snatched the whale meat? Then you can kill me!"
"What should you do if you kill you?"
He suddenly pinched Li Wuji's weakness, and he held his head, "In a few days, how can I take care of my mother like this?"
"Don't worry, it's not long since some people can't sit still. As far as I know, merchants from Liao Kingdom are desperately looking for spirits, and someone will come soon."
"Ah, I finally don't have to be a pig!" Li Wuji danced excitedly, but in the next few days, he felt that being a pig was actually good... Wang Ning'an thought he was too dark, so he threw him into a wooden barrel, filled it with hot water, added many strange things, and then brushed it hard with a pig's bristle brush. Every time Li Wuji felt that he was a fat pig waiting to be slaughtered, and the skin on his body was scraped down layer by layer, and the taste was indescribable.
Compared to this, the beauty of the face is even more speechless.
A thick layer of powder was applied to the big black face. An old woman lacked a tooth and hung the thread on her teeth. She stretched her hands open it and kept shaved on Li Wuji's face, shaved while singing.
"The left-handed line gives birth to a noble son, the right-handed line gives birth to a beautiful man, the third line of one side makes a steady streak, the young lady gives birth to a kirin... her eyebrows are pulled like a crescent moon, and the top scorer is the second-class Tanhualang. We congratulate you today, congratulate you on being a bride, ah, a bride..."
Damn, it's actually a face-opening song!
The big man has become a new wife. The new wife has her face once in her life. This is great, once a day, once a day!
People are the groom every day, but he is the bride every day. Who did I offend?
Li Wuji felt that the sky was dark.
Even after decades, when it comes to this experience, it is hard to look back. Whenever you hear others praise Wang Ning'an, Li Wuji sneer. That is because you have no way to see him. You will definitely make you go back and forth from thirty-three days to the eighteenth level of hell, and you will be tossed back and forth for a while, and you will be a little ghost. Your heart and liver are destroyed, and your spirit is poisoned in every way, and your three views are broken...
However, Li Wuji had to admit that Wang Ning'an had told him too many ways to understand people's hearts and observe words and opinions these days. A simple and good child has disappeared. Under the honest and honest surface, a cunning fox is awakening.
...
Xu Jie was very angry recently. He was originally the Liao merchant who first got the nectar of Yaochi. At that time, a jar of Yaochi nectar could be exchanged for ten best war horses. His wealth expanded rapidly like a balloon, becoming one of the top luxury merchants in Youzhou.
In order to get the wine, the nobles of the Liao Kingdom also brought him as guests of honor. They were really gold and silver, and they were all powerful and powerful, and they were like the New Year every day.
Even though there were more and more spirits smuggled later, the Jade Pond nectar that Xu Jie got was the best, but the situation has suddenly changed since the second half of the year.
The supply of goods was getting smaller and smaller, and the impurities of wine were getting more and more. He got angry several times and even threatened the other party to stop paying. However, before he could stop paying, the other party stopped supplying first and told him that the court had made strict rules and would not have any Yaochi nectar in the future.
Losing the fine wine, those nobles lost interest in him, and more business rivals began to covet Xu Jie's wealth, wishing they could take it for themselves.
The Liao Kingdom is different from the Song Dynasty. It is still the law of the jungle here. No one is covering it. Holding countless wealth is equivalent to committing suicide.
Xu Jie couldn't sleep at night again and again, so he decided to go to the Song Dynasty to see what was going on.
As soon as he arrived in Xiongzhou, Xu Jie received unfortunate news. Fan Zhongyan, who was famous, arrived in Hebei. The first statement he gave to the emperor was to ask His Majesty to stop tribute to the nectar of the Yaochi and to save the saved food to the victims.
Zhao Zhen immediately agreed, and Fan Zhongyan waved the hammer himself and smashed the big pot of winemaking.
Xu Jie couldn't understand, wasn't it just some ordinary people? There was some in the Song Dynasty that an emperor gave up his enjoyment for some ants, which was impossible in the Liao Dynasty! Whether it was subjects or the people, it was the emperor's wealth. He could be harvested at any time, do whatever he wanted, and did whatever he wanted. That was the Supreme Lord of the Nine Five!
The emperor of the Song Dynasty was too cowardly!
Xu Jie couldn't accept it, but he felt the power of the prohibition.
After smashing the nectar of Yaochi, the old husband Han Yi took the lead in responding that all the wineries under the Han family stopped brewing and sold the saved grain at a fair price, responding to Fan Xianggong's feat.
From then on, all wineries in Hebei were closed. Even if the restaurants were gone, there were only some remote villages and some villages brewed fruit wine, which occasionally flowed into the city. The drunkards could only secretly drink a few sips in places where no one was found. Once someone was found drinking and suing the government, the person who gave the offer could immediately get one stone of food, while the person who drank would have to pay a fine of two stones!
Fan Zhongyan dared to do this kind of thing that offends all drunkards, and it was taken for granted!
Xu Jie's scalp was numb and he was completely stunned. Seeing this, he wanted to continue to get the nectar of Yaochi, which was a dream. But without wine, his own business and the Xu family, wouldn't he be finished!
He was dejected and had to find both the accountant and the butler to discuss the solution together.
The accountant was flexible and thought about it and said, "Boss, there is no money to solve these days. As long as you are willing to spend money, you can get wine. I don't believe it. Who can't get money?"
Xu Jie thought for a long time and gritted his teeth and said, "I have to do this, I'll go to Cangzhou now!"... Friends reading books, you can search for "" and find this site as soon as possible.
