Chapter 240 Sister
In a flash, Du Shiyi took Tian Mo and Hou Xiyi to the temporary garrison of the three troops. Because of the skill he had shown on Semerjie before, whether it was Jihamo or the other two Shi Jin, he completely regarded him as a master's defense, and followed his brave guards at any time behind him. As soon as he sat down, Du Shiyi knew that these Shi Jin would never like to beat around the bush, so he simply said bluntly: "What do you think of the place where King Xi's tent is located?"
Seeing that the other two scheming and conspiring members did not speak, Jihamo simply spoke first, "That is the blessing land given to King Xi by God."
"Yes, if it weren't for the blessed land that God blessed King Xi, so all kinds of crops could be planted on the plains on the banks of the Laoha River. Every year when they are rich, they could also make the barn full."
Du Shiyi's words immediately made Jihamo's heart move. Because the land near King Xi's tent does have the right time and place, although the Xi people are more grazing, a long time ago, this land was gradually reclaimed by people, and millet and millet were planted for consumption on and off the tent. At first, the nobles did not like it, and felt that they could not get hungry for cattle and sheep, but gradually found that they could eliminate the greasiness of meat. Over time, the fields on the banks of the Laoha River had been reclaimed to a considerable area, but for the other tribes, this farming model was naturally not as good as the grazing they had been completely accustomed to.
"These food is just used to prevent the years of wind and snow. How can these cattle and sheep make the warriors more powerful than those of cattle and sheep?"
"Then, I can tell that the lifespan of the Xi people is far shorter than that of the Tang people in our Central Plains? The most brave warrior of the Xi tribe can be invincible on the battlefield, but they often lose their lives because of a slight insignificant disease when they should still fight. Although the meat of cattle and mutton can make people unable to survive, they have a lot of power, but the lack of certain combinations is enough for them to reduce the time they should have rushed on the battlefield."
Du Shiyi's words were reasonable and well-founded. Not only did Jihamo unable to help but ponder, but the other two poems were the same. After a while, the oldest Ashha said in a deep voice: "Is it possible that Du Langjun has any good solutions?"
"Yes, my servant is proficient in farming." Du Shiyi turned around and let Tian Mo come up. Seeing that the dark Kunlun slave made all three of Qi Jin widen their eyes, he explained with a smile, "Not only is he willing to work hard, but he is also willing to find the food that best satisfy me, a picky owner, and also know which crops grow from seeds can best gain health and longevity."
Jihamer stood up without thinking and said, "Then how much money will I pay? Du Langjun is willing to give him to me?"
The word "longevity" is not just the most desired wish of the Central Plains Emperor. It is also a great temptation for those royal and chief clans who are noble and noble. When Jihamo took the lead, Ashha and the other Shi Jin were angry at first, followed by Ashha, and then he was more scheming and stared at Du Shiyi and asked, "Is it possible that Du Langjun is just to preach the benefits of your slaves to us today?"
"No, he just collected a variety of seeds along the way, among which there were the ones that were most suitable for the Xi tribe." Du Shiyi took out a set of pre-prepared words that promoted the benefits of various vegetables and vegetables, and soon let the three pieces of Shijin speak out, and when Tian Mo stammered and said under Hou Xiyi's translation, there were several kinds of vegetables, such as sausage, which were easy to grow, and was enough to teach any Xi people. He saw the three people with a surprised and joyful smile. At this time, he signaled Hou Xiyi to bring up the silver pot in his arms, opened the lid in front of everyone, and signaled Tian Mo to bring the silver bowl, poured three bowls to the three Shijin, and then he also brought a bowl himself. Seeing that everyone stared at the drinks with a completely different color from cow and goat milk in his hands, he smiled.
"Don't underestimate this bowl of milk tea. It may be optional for the emperors and generals of the Tang Dynasty, but for the three warriors who often eat beef and mutton, it is the best thing to live long. When I was in the Tang Dynasty, I learned medical skills since I was a child and could be considered half a doctor, so I know that eating greasy meat such as beef and sheep is difficult to digest, so I need this thing." Du Shiyi knew that hearing was weak, and seeing that it was solid, so he drank the milk tea in his hand in one breath. Seeing that the three of them were hesitant and he drank a few sips, and then smashed his mouth, as if he was savoring the taste thoughtfully, he smiled slightly.
He really dared not understand the way of cooking tea in the Tang Dynasty, and the method of grinding tea into pieces made him feel that it was a waste of resources. However, for the nomadic peoples who have not yet introduced tea, since milk tea can be popular in later generations, it should be easier for them to accept it now.
“Although it’s a bit bitter, it tastes pretty good.”
"Is this made of milk or goat's milk?"
"Is this thing a long life thing that Du Langjun said?"
Although Du Shiyi strengthened Xi Yu, he was not a genius after all. If it were not for preparation in advance, Hou Xiyi stood behind him and quietly gestured and reminded him with his fingers. He was really unable to deal with it. But at this moment, it was still Hou Xiyi who gently translated these words in his ear that he found the words to explain.
"This is a little special method to add tea to the milk, but it is not difficult. As long as there is enough tea, the Xi people can drink such healthy milk tea."
"Du Langjun may demonstrate immediately, let's see clearly?"
Du Shiyi took Tian Mo with him today, just to let him show his ability - despite the skill of making milk tea, he taught this Kunlun slave step by step. Seeing Tian Mo use the packet of grinded tea powder to complete one process after another, and cook it into a pot of milk tea, Jihamo and the other two felt that it was indeed simple, so he generously left this pot of milk tea for them to taste. As for whether these people were asked to try the Xi slaves or to let others experiment, he didn't care about so much. Sure enough, in just two days, Sandu could not help but send someone to invite him.
"Du Langjun has more of this kind of tea."
"I only brought a few packs, but after hearing this, the princess had agreed to use her respectful identity as the Tang Dynasty princess to buy this precious tea for the Xi clan."
"Will the princess leave such good things only for the king?"
"Don't you think that the King of Lu Su led his troops to guard against the Khitans this time, as if he left a chance for you?" Seeing that Jihamo and the other two changed their expressions, Du Shiyi said with a smile, "The princess has noticed this, so the princess is willing to express her kindness to you, otherwise she would not agree to give the silk that the court rewarded her to you. And the princess will do what she says about tea."
Moved with emotion and reasoned with reason. Over the past few days, the three tribes Shi Jin received a lot of exquisite Tang silk brocades from Princess Gu'an. Coupled with Princess Gu'an's promise and Du Shiyi's lobbying, now thinking about the sinister intentions that Li Lusu may have, they all felt like returning home. Therefore, after another happy conversation, they didn't even bother to see Princess Gu'an, and they ordered their troops to prepare to return to their base. On the day of the camp, when Du Shiyi and Princess Gu'an climbed the hill side by side, watching thousands of soldiers gradually depart, the two of them breathed a sigh of relief at the same time.
"This difficulty has actually passed." Princess Gu'an raised her eyebrows in disbelief, and then sat down to the ground regardless of her demeanor, revealing an unconcealed fatigue on her face. "I really didn't expect that I could support this point."
Seeing that Princess Gu'an was breathing, her whole body seemed to be a little depressed. Du Shiyi was startled and quickly reached out to support her, but she didn't expect her to pull her, and she almost fell on her. He finally got down and staggered. After a while, he sat next to Princess Gu'an. However, when the noble princess leaned her head directly on his shoulder, he froze.
"Borrow your shoulders and lean on me for a while." Princess Gu'an's voice no longer had the toughness of the past few days, but had a little more indescribable weakness. "From childhood to adulthood, there has been no man that I can rely on. Whether it is my father or my dead husband, I have become accustomed to relying on myself for everything. I didn't expect that these days, I actually have someone who can negotiate, someone who can trust, and someone who can share the pressure... so many firsts in my life have gathered on you."
Seeing that Zhang Yao did not speak, Du Shiyi tiptoed back aside and looked at the wind, as if afraid of the guards coming up to disturb him, he couldn't help but smile bitterly. To be fair, he really respected the princess Hefan who was struggling alone in a foreign country, especially her courage and strategy in times of crisis, which was enough for the casual man to be ashamed. Therefore, he calmed down and said, "Your Lord also let me see what it means to be a woman but a man, what it means to kill and decisively, and you have made many sacrifices over the years. As a man, I deeply admire you."
"Just admire?" Princess Gu'an moved her head slightly and looked at Du Shiyi. Seeing that she seemed a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but smile and said, "Don't think wrong. At your age, my brother is almost the same as when I was at home. But no one looked down on me. You are very surprised that I could be chosen as Princess Hefan, but I would be treated so coldly, right? Princess Hefan has always chosen the families of nobles and nobles who are close to the royal family, and must be the legitimate daughter. Without exception, I am just a concubine daughter who is a concubine who is not related to the Tang Dynasty royal family."
Although Yue Wuniang knew about this, she did not tell anyone, even Du Shiyi was the same. At this moment, he was shocked and stared at Princess Gu'an. Thinking that she could achieve such a tough and tenacious personality with a humble background, as well as her current strategy and courage, he couldn't help but feel deep respect.
"It was my father and his legitimate mother who tampered with the glory of a princess at home and sent me here. I was alone in this foreign country and had hoped to have a child countless times, but when he was really pregnant with my body, I had to choose to kill him with my own hands. In this life, I can't be a mother anymore, at least this sin is enough to be ⊥I can't have my own child." The princess Gu'an showed a desolate smile on her face, and she put her head on Du Shiyi's shoulders as she was at the beginning, "At least now, let me enjoy the feeling of having a brother leaning on."
Du Shiyi could only sit still, but in the cold wind, when he felt something wet and wet gradually penetrated into his clothes, he finally turned his head with difficulty, but saw that the always strong Princess Gu'an was already in tears. He instinctively raised his sleeves to wipe, but finally took out a silk handkerchief from his arms and gently wiped the tender face of the girl. After a while, he put down his hand and said word by word: "My parents died since childhood. Although I have an uncle, I have no family affection. I only have a legitimate sister who depends on each other. If the Lord is willing, I hope I can have an extra sister like the Lord."
Princess Gu'an was stunned at first, then raised her head and smiled. After a while, she said with a flashing look: "You, the son of the Du family of Jingzhao, who has a bright future, are willing to recognize the wife of a barbarian king, a Princess Hefan who may not be able to return to Chang'an in this life, and a concubine who was originally humble from being a sister?
"In terms of origin, my family was already in decline when I was a child, and later a fire almost burned my family. If I had not been lucky enough to be a good teacher and friend, I would not have been today. What's more, I have not yet been released from office as an official. If I suffer a loss, it is also a loss for the noble master."
"Okay, okay" Princess Gu'an suddenly laughed loudly. She suddenly stood up, then stretched out her hand to pull Du Shiyi, and then said with a smile, "Since that's the case, I don't need those red tape. From now on, don't call me any more noble master. Just call my sister. My sister was called Xin Yuanniang. There is also a boudoir name called Xin Tong, but she also has a name she gave herself, Xin Hong. The swan's horoscope, the swan's horoscope, how can I know the ambition of the swan... I dare not compare myself to the swan. What I wish is just to hope that I can live for myself in this life."
Looking at the Princess Gu'an who was in a turbulent mood, Du Shiyi called out to his sister with conscience, and then smiled and said, "In the near future, his sister will definitely get what she wants."
"You will say it nicely." Princess Gu'an showed a rare charming smile on her face, and then said with a smile, "You are observing the wind according to the order. If it is cold today, it is difficult to walk on the road. So just stay in Xidi for a while. When the imperial court's order has arrived, I would have known that we would really succeed, so I would not have to let the little monk work so hard before."
"Things of the world are unpredictable, we are not Zhuge Liang." Du Shiyi smiled and spread his hands. Seeing that the cloak on Princess Gu'an had just sat tilted to the side, she stepped forward and naturally fixed it again for her. Then she took a step back and said, "With Li Lusu's absence, sister will hold the slaves firmly in her hands as soon as possible."
"Then you need to say? Li Lusu can plan, how could I let him do it?" Princess Gu'an tightly closed the cloak on her body and took a deep breath with confidence. "In addition, you must do what you said to those three ministries, Ji Jin immediately. I have chosen all the people, and I will send someone to Shu to buy tea tomorrow."
"It's not just buying tea, but also buying tea gardens, holding all the tea farmers who can grow and pick tea, etc. in their hands. My sister is in Xidi, and there are many places to spend money, but I am in Chang'an, but I have no place to use it. My sister gives people and I work hard. This way, the cooperation will benefit both sides."
