Chapter 266 The cutest person

Zhang Yi naturally had his own ideas when he proposed to clean up the garbage dump.

First, because of Li Hui, Li Er became his cheap father-in-law. Obviously, he could not stand by and watch the war in the north. In this era when the plague was simply unable to cure the plague, he was naturally worried that if the plague broke out, otherwise he would finally have such a little hope for his happy life and wouldn't he die unjustly?

That's right, Zhang Yi said immediately: "Although garbage is prone to plagues and other diseases, it is not useless!" As he said that, Zhang Yi pointed to a dagger on Xue Wanren's waist and said: "Just like this dagger, the blade can hurt people, but it can also cut flesh! So, no matter what, even the two piles of garbage in front of us, are useful if used properly!"

"Lizi, when I was in Chang'an City, my brother heard that you have the power to make money. Just relying on a duck, you can make money every day. It is simply the object of worship among Chang'an merchants!" Tang Peng was excited and smiled and said, "If it is someone else who says that these garbage is useful, I will definitely spit him a few spits, but if you say that you can turn these two piles of garbage into copper coins, my brother will believe it!"

Xue Wanren is far away from the border and naturally doesn't know what Zhang Yi is doing in Chang'an City, but he can't help but become curious when he hears Tang Peng say this.

Zhang Yi quickly waved his hand and defended him: "Brother Tang, aren't you shivering me? How could I get into the business of the merchants? The roast duck was not something that the old people in the farm were idle and had too many ducks to sell.

And I was working with a businessman... Of course, I just gave some advice, except that I had nothing to do with the Zhang family!"

In the Tang Dynasty, merchants were undoubtedly quite low. As a nobleman, Zhang Yi naturally did not want to leave a sense of merchants. He immediately put aside the fact that he opened a roast duck restaurant in Chang'an City from himself and pulled Fatty Bu out to the tank.

Tang Peng couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed. As a nobleman, he certainly knew that business was impossible to discuss. Even if he wanted to discuss it, it was the women in the back home who negotiated. Although he was brothers with Zhang Yi, he was actually not able to say anything. Moreover, he said it in front of Xue Wanren, which seemed a bit too erratic.

"It's my brother, I didn't understand the situation, haha!" Tang Peng touched his head and said embarrassedly: "But even if it's not your property, there are your guidance in it, right? There are so many people raising chickens and ducks in the world. At most, they can exchange eggs for some food, rice, oil and salt. Who has ever seen a duck that can sell for fifty or sixty cents? Not to mention taking a bite, even if it's a bone, it's still money!"

When it comes to roast duck in the roast duck restaurant, Tang Peng drools.

Although the price of roast duck... is a bit unbearable, it only refers to ordinary people. As the son of a dignified Duke, he certainly does not have to pay two dollars for roast duck, so he naturally visits him frequently.

"Fifty or sixty cents?" Xue Wanche couldn't help but take a breath of air conditioning.

This is a duck here, and even beef is not so expensive.

However, seeing Tang Peng's drooling look, he was a little confused. Although it seemed expensive, it should taste good. Otherwise, how could Tang Peng's mouth be so sarcastic?

"That's natural, fifty cents, not a penny less!" Tang Peng poured a mouthful of grapes into his mouth and said with relish: "Brother Xue, you don't know. Although this price is expensive, it is really worth the price. It is said that it was made by marinating dozens of precious Chinese medicinal materials and adding several spices to finally bake."

While saying that, he gestured to Xue Wanren: "You don't know that the roast duck is crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, fragrant on the inside, and even the bones inside are filled with a strong fragrance.... Tsk tsk tsk! It's endless aftertaste!"

Zhang Yi waved at Tang Peng. Of course, he didn't want to continue discussing the roast duck. Although he refused to admit it, anyone with a discerning eye knew that both Zhuanghu and Fatty Bu were just a name. The real boss was him, Zhang Yi, could not hide it at all.

"I'm going to eat roast duck and I'm back to Chang'an. I'll invite you to eat enough!" Zhang Yi changed the topic and said, "But I really have a way to deal with this trash!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi stood up and signaled the two of them to go over together. When he walked outside the door, Zhang Yi stopped and said, "Although our Shuofang City is in a very important strategic position, it is like a nail nailed to the key position where the gate of Hetao is bordered by the Tang Dynasty, it is undeniable that Shuofang City is an isolated city!"

"Yes! Shuofang's strategic position is very important. It is precisely this way that Your Majesty and the officials in the court attach so much importance to it!" Xue Wanche nodded, agreeing with Zhang Yi's statement very much, but his face suddenly became bitter and said, "But the Lone City... it is indeed Lone City!"

Speaking of this, Xue Wanren felt a sense of powerlessness. Thinking of the scene of the hard support of the more than 2,000 soldiers in his hand over the past few years, he couldn't help but become even more bitter. He sighed: "Fengzhou and Dingzhou are too far away from Shuofang, and they also have the responsibility to restrain other tribes on the grassland. The most important thing is that transportation is inconvenient and food transportation is also quite difficult. If you want to get some meat, you can only go out to hunt... Alas!"

Zhang Yi felt very uncomfortable. There were Turkic barbarians on the grassland in front and a deserted area behind. Shuofang can be said to be the front line of the Tang Dynasty facing the grassland. It is not an exaggeration to say that these soldiers were heroes of the Tang Dynasty, but... But the lives of these heroes require self-reliance even when they eat a meal of meat, which undoubtedly makes people feel very uncomfortable.

Although he just wanted to live a life of silence, Zhang Yi had an extremely good impression of the soldiers.

After all, as the saying goes, only if there is a country, only if there is a family, but it is the existence of soldiers that allows him to enjoy it with peace of mind, right?

Looking at the thin soldiers in front of him who were straightened to guard the city wall, Zhang Yi said immediately: "You are the cutest people! But although it is hard, the people of the Tang Dynasty will always remember you, and I believe that such a hard life will end soon!"

As he said that, Zhang Yi pointed his finger at the back of Shuofang City towards the Tang Dynasty and said, "As early in Chang'an, I had suggested to Your Majesty that our borders could adopt the military hoarding system, fight for soldiers, work in leisure time, and do not separate the soldiers and farmers. This would not only solve the problem of some food and fodder, but also alleviate the living standards of the soldiers outside!"
