Chapter 140: Li Bai and Du Fu

In this breath, he swept more than 370,000 sheepskins and escorted them back to Yan State in batches. Gongsun Xiu was very happy and thought that the winter clothes of tens of thousands of soldiers had raw materials, even if the battle between Yan and Wei was delayed until the dead of winter next year, it would be enough to cope with it.

Deng Ai smiled and said, "The king exchanged two thousand good horses for 600,000 kilograms of tea cakes in Wu, and then exchanged tea cakes for 80,000 sheepskins at a low price. He sold them at a high price and took 300 million yuan in money. He then took advantage of the price of sheepskins to fall and earned hundreds of thousands of sheepskins at a low price. The result of this skill is no worse than Guan Zhong."

Gongsun Xiu gave him annoyed look and said with a smile: "This flattery is not enough. Such a trick like Gu is not as good as Guan Zhong. This time it can be said to be an extremely lucky thing. Fortunately, Wei did not send anyone to intervene, otherwise we might not be able to receive the sheepskin, and if we want to collect it, we have to spend a lot of money to collect it."

Deng Ai smiled apologetically. Although he was suspected of flattering, he was not angry. He understood that the king was not angry and said, "This is not bad. However, Wei State forced interference, and the final result was to pay a huge price and both sides suffered losses. As the party in urgent need of sheepskin, the Wei State had to spend money to raise the price and try hard to collect and store the sheepskin to ensure that most of the herdsmen on Jiulong Ridge were unwilling to take advantage of the sheepskin on their hands. But this also required a lot of money. In the end, it was only the Xianbei herdsmen who took advantage of it."

Gongsun Xiu held the reins in his hand, and the two walked side by side in the middle of the convoy, laughing: "Is this price big or small? Although it seems that only two thousand horses were used to exchange for hundreds of thousands of sheepskins, our big ship traveled back and forth to Wu and then transported tea cakes into western Liaoning. Now, transporting sheepskins back and forth back is also huge. There are no less than eight thousand people who have been used."

"In general, this trip is worth it." Deng Ai said with a smile.

He was frowning in one thing, and he urgently needed to rectify the officials on the border of Yan State, otherwise the thousand-mile dike would be destroyed by an ant hole.

When I returned to Yan State, it was cold and it was already snowing heavily.

The convoy was marching on the road with a snow-covered thickness of one foot, leaving deep ruts. Gongsun Xiu opened the car window and looked at the entire silver-covered world. The north wind yelled and the cold wind blew in his face, as if a knife was slashing around his face.

Gongsun Xiu was wearing the best fur, so he naturally didn't feel cold anymore, but at this time he didn't put his mind on himself. Instead, he looked at the thin-dressed people and felt sad: "I'm not cold anymore, but what about them?"

Deng Ai saw the king's face frowning and said strangely: "Your Majesty, what are you worried about? It's cold and cold, don't freeze your body, put down the car window."

"I don't feel cold when I wear it so thick and warm. Seeing that the people under my control are not wearing it warmly, my heart is cold first."

He closed the car window and felt even more worried about the people, saying, "The winter clothes of tens of thousands of soldiers have been solved, but most of the hundreds of thousands of people are still in the cold."

After a pause, he couldn't help but chant: "How can I have thousands of Guangshas, ​​and the poor people in the world be happy, and the wind and rain are as peaceful as a mountain. In fact, why do I need Guangsha? As long as Dayan has thick clothes for winter, it is a blessing."

Deng Ai was shocked and thought to himself that the king was so touched. He smiled bitterly: "This world is still the case. If the snow melts next year and Cao Shuang attacks Liaodong, it will be even more miserable."

"This idiot will sooner or later die."

When Gongsun Xiu thought of this guy, he was very angry.

Although Cao Shuang is a fool, the Wei army behind him should not be underestimated. There is no way to use troops to defeat the enemy in how to resettle the people.

When he returned to the Yan Palace, he immediately handed over hundreds of thousands of sheepskins to the army and ordered them to work as soon as possible, add winter clothes and distribute them to soldiers across the country.

At the same time, he summoned Jia Fan and ordered the border people in the counties to be indifferent to the king's laws. When the officials and businessmen colluded, they furiously said: "Border people and petty officials, this is to see that the emperor is far away, and it is easier for the people to be fishy. They live alone in the palace, and the ministers climb into the hall. After all, they are in the clouds and cannot see the people in the dilemma of the county. When officials and businessmen colluded, even if some merchants went to the grassland to buy sheepskin, they could not bring them into the country. Instead, they were detained by the officials and sold to the court at a higher price. By this, I, Dayan, have no idea how many people suffer from this suffering? I passed the orphan's will and immediately reported the world to make politics remain clear and clear. If there are any dirty villains, they will be beheaded according to the law."

Jia Fan was shocked and hurriedly said, "Yes, I will do as I will do it and will never forgive these corrupt officials who are incompetent in the people."

In the cold winter, there was almost no way to produce the entire Liaodong, and people from door to door hid at home to prevent the cold. Hundreds of thousands of sheepskin were cooked sheepskin, and the herdsmen had already processed it. The tailors of Yan State could just sew and cut the sheepskin and make it into sheepskin coats and deliver it to the soldiers of the three armies.

The winter was very long. Gongsun Xiu thought about the suffering of the people's cold, so he inspected many homes of the people. The family basically stayed at home and did not go out. Women and women weaved cloth and sewed clothes, trying to add warm clothes to the people in the family.

Gongsun Xiu felt very uncomfortable when he looked at it, thinking to himself: "In the palace, we live in the pepper room hall, and apply pepper and mud on the walls. In winter, warmth will spread out to provide people with warmth. What about ordinary people? Although there are houses to live in, it is so cold that it makes people feel panicked. If it is cold in the cold, it may not be able to burn coal and firewood, so we have to keep warm in the quilt filled with grass."

Read Li Bai in prosperous times and Du Fu in troubled times.

This is his insight into reading poetry, and now he finally saw such a scene with his own eyes.

Among the poets of the Tang Dynasty, Li Bai's poems describe the mist and beauty of the prosperous era in the early Tang Dynasty, while Du Fu, who was eleven years younger than Li Bai, wrote about the chaos and desolation of the middle Tang Dynasty.

One is a poetic immortal and the other is a poetic saint. The two are both Tang people, and their encounters are completely different. Li Bai is a banished immortal who fell from the sky, a kind and romantic person who "has a rich horse and a fur of gold". Without blinking, he "calls out for good wine" and "receives his son to exchange for fine wine."

Li Bai basically has no worries about food and clothing. People can stuff money and treat meals wherever he goes. Among them, the most famous "rewarder" is Wang Lun. This comrade is comparable to the rich man who has been famous for his generation and has been the first reader in ancient and modern times to reward the author and has been famous for his eternal history.

Because I admire Li Bai's talent, I wrote a letter to deceive him that I had "Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" and "Wanjia Hotel" here, which grabbed Li Bai's seven inches. Drinking and watching the beautiful scenery was Lao Li's first hobby.

When Li Bai arrived, he realized that he had been deceived by Wang Lun, but he was not angry, but instead was grateful for Wang Lun's warm hospitality.

It is unknown how much silver Wang Lun "reward" Li Bai and spent. I think the golden alliance with the value far exceeds that of the future generations of the Golden Alliance. The word "Wang Lun" also became the supporting figure in Li Bai's poems, and Li Bai's poems also became the pinnacle of Tang poetry.

Since then, for thousands of years, the name Wang Lun has entered the memories of hundreds of millions of students.

He came to a conclusion: I still have to give me some rewards to read books, and I want a supporting role. What if I become popular all over the country in the future?
