Chapter 521

From Liu Yuan's establishment of the Hun Han state, to Liu Yao's change of the state name to Zhao (former Zhao), then shile killed the Hun Zhao state, inherited the state of Zhao (later Zhao), and waited for Shi Hu to kill Shi Hong. All the countries established by the Hu people for decades implemented a policy in the Central Plains.

Because of Sima 1 Jin's incompetence, the Hu people occupied the Central Plains for the first time. After the Hu people became the rulers of the Central Plains, they disliked the existence of villages and towns everywhere, and made a policy to transform the central plains into a ranch.

The original Han and Miao people had no sense of security at all times. They wanted to be robbed and killed by the Hu people. A large number of people fled to the mountains and forests, and big families in various places established fortresses or fortresses. Under the transformation of the Hu people, only some cities and villages in the central plains were left. They could only be found in the mountains and forests.

It can be said that with the persistence of the number of Hu people for ten years, the Central Plains really has the trend of becoming a ranch. Take Xiang state as an example. The infrastructure of this big city is not very good. Except for the palace city, there are luxury houses everywhere in the city, but the no man's land outside radiates nearly 200 miles.

The Han state never envisaged reserving a no man's land. The desolation of the countryside and the large number of wild animals were a trouble. The Han Army did the most in all places, in addition to exterminating local giants and big families, it was to capture and hunt wild animals on an organized and large scale, so as not to make wild animals an obstacle to smooth traffic.

In addition to the Han Army catching and hunting beasts, local governments also encourage people to hunt. People with a little courage kill animals to eat their meat, and can sell hair, skin and tendons to the government. It is more or less a way to improve rations and increase income.

In these days, wool, leather and tendons can not only be used for the manufacture of luxury goods. Many military instruments need some things on animals. For example, wool can be woven into felt and leather can be used as leather to make armor. Tendons can also be used to make special rope sleeves in addition to bow strings.

Because of the national policy of Hu people to create ranches, there are many kinds of animals in the countryside to the point of exaggeration. At present, there is no shortage of some rare animals. Selling some fur to the aristocrats who began to pursue a better life is definitely a big gain.

Xu Zheng hunted a lot of foxes and minks. He specially asked people to make shawls and send them to the palace. He was very popular with the beauties of the harem. He even hunted and killed many tigers. He took down the tiger whip and dedicated it to his colleagues. Every time he sent the tiger whip, he would attach a letter urging people to open branches and leaves quickly, which really made many people laugh and cry.

The fierce animals in the forest garden of Miyagi are rounded up and hunted again and again. It is difficult to find them. If you want to kill bears, tigers, leopards, jackals, wolves and other animals, you need to go to the specially left area.

Liu Yan and Xu Zheng went out to hunt. Ji Chang was a spectator. After a while of hunting, only wild boars were killed. The rest were mild animals. Most of the prey was found in their nests. Who makes it snowy winter.

Waiting for the break, some palace maids began to be busy. They collected firewood, fiddled with stoves and all kinds of and tableware. It was necessary for someone to deal with game, and set up some windproof cloth walls and ceilings.

"It's a good position." Xu Zheng's dress was basically in disorder, and the sleeve of his left hand was damaged. He had sat on the thick mat and looked around: "it's refreshing to watch the snow in the forest and the wilderness!"

The ground was covered with a thick carpet, and some tables had been placed. Some palace maids had long been making a fire to cook tea. The three kings and ministers wandered around for more than an hour and finally stopped in one place.

Ji Chang felt very speechless about Xu Zheng's lying. They were located next to a forest. There was indeed an open space outside, but the open space was not wide. Then there was a group of palace pavilions that were bright silver because they were covered with snow. There were layers of forbidden guards in the palace city outside, and there were many wind barriers. There was no wilderness.

"Mood, the minister said relaxed and happy means mood." Xu Zheng saw that Liu Yan looked at himself with teasing eyes. He was deliberately making a joke: "I have a special experience in cooking game recently. I'll cook it myself and offer it to the king?"

"Tai Wei." Ji Chang frowned and said, "the imperial dress is broken."

The damage of the imperial dress can be big or small. At large, it is a crime of disrespect, but Xu Zheng doesn't care at all. He screwed up the damaged sleeve and pulled some holes in his body. He said shyly, "the king saw it with his own eyes. Lao Xu didn't do it on purpose."

After some hunting, with Xu Zheng constantly making jokes, Liu Yan's depressed mood is better.

There is only one crime of disrespect in the law of the state of Han. If the king wants to take care of anyone, the crime of disrespect can be applied to all aspects. Therefore, the crime of disrespect is a golden charge, which is often used by the ministers to disgust each other. It is also an excuse that the king really wants to deal with who is easy to find.

Nowadays, there are not many cooking techniques, but barbecue has existed since ancient times. With the passage of time, the difference is nothing more than adding some spices.

The western regions were occupied by the Central Plains imperial dynasty. Other benefits are not so obvious. It is one of the great benefits to contribute all kinds of spices to the Central Plains. In real terms, developing the western regions is definitely the basis of the "big food imperial dynasty", because all kinds of spices are really transmitted from the western regions to the Central Plains, so that the "central country" can have more modulation methods and means for the diversification of food.

In the past, barbecue was coated with honey, even if it was the top enjoyment. With all kinds of peppers, the seasonings stimulating taste buds increased, and the barbecue technique evolved.

For Liu Yan, how can you eat barbecue without pepper? All barbecues without spicy food are considered inferior. He regretted that there was no beer at present, and that the top wine of the Chinese summer descendants was some of the Baijiu which looked cloudy, or some fruit wine.

Wine Baijiu wine, fruit wine, wine can not eat flavor at all, Liu Yan can not bear to see that people eat all kinds of things love wine to improve the grid, do not know the correct way of wine matching.

In addition, Liu Yan doesn't like wine. Acid is the main reason. The more he drinks, the more thirsty he is. Then he wants to drink too much. The aftereffect of getting drunk is also very uncomfortable.

Nowadays, Nanling tulip, Dukang wine and French wine can be regarded as famous wines. Only because of the sentence "how to relieve worries, only Dukang" in Cao Cao's short song line, Dukang wine will be more famous. In fact, Nanling tulip wine has a longer history. It can be traced back to the Warring States period. It was a famous wine of the state of Chu at that time. French wine is divided into several periods and types, mainly referring to the wine brewed according to the requirements of the government.

King, in this era of "I am the world", there must be something good for the king, and even some things will become unique to the king. In short, there is absolutely no lack of some rare things.

In particular, without distillation, no wine can be as clear as boiled water. In fact, it is a turbid liquid.

"Spicy..." Xu Zheng really barbecued himself. The problem is that he can't tell which kind of pepper is the hottest. After the barbecue, he ate it himself. He looked rude but seemed very rational. After all, he could not casually offer food like a king. When it was hot enough, he quickly ran to Jichang's table, picked up a pot of wine made from grapes, and gasped behind: "what kind of pepper! It's too hot!"

Ji Chang was speechless again. Even if he was cooked to a certain degree, the grand lieutenant of a country could do the same. Can't he take a few more steps to drink on his desk?

Liu Yan has little pursuit except to open up territory. If he has to calculate, he should collect all kinds of plant food materials. He specially asked Xie AI to ask his friends in Xiliang to collect all kinds of spices from the western regions. At the same time, if there were none in the Central Plains, he would get some.

The state of Han has always been very strong. Moreover, the state of Han and Zhang Liangguo once entered a period of friendship. Xie AI didn't know how many friends he had asked. There were really a lot of plant seeds collected. Liu Yan asked people to try to cultivate them in Linzi. Some survived and grew in the East soil, and more failed to cultivate.

In fact, Liu Yan couldn't tell the names of all spices. For example, he didn't know the name of at least one of the seven kinds of chili peppers, but he just distinguished which one was more spicy.

"No name. It's not owned by China anyway. It's all prefixed with a word 'Hu'." Liu Yan said the correct solution. He said carelessly: "melon, walnut, pea, pepper, shallot, garlic, carrot..."

At present, the Han state can call itself the Great Han, the eastern soil and the middle soil. Generally, only Westerners can call the eastern soil. The Han people call themselves the Great Han and the middle soil at most.

Xu Zheng was confused and asked, "I know what cucumbers, beans, peppers, shallots and garlic are. I haven't heard of carrots."

Liu Yan was stunned at this time. At present, the carrot really didn't come. He didn't know when the carrot was introduced into the "central country".

The origin of carrots is modern a 1 Fu 1 Han. There are two kinds of carrots: Yellow radish and red radish. They will not spread to the Central Plains until the 12th century.

"Our ancestors have been opening up to the outside world, opening up new territories and obtaining countless new species. It's really lucky for our family." Ji Chang didn't forget that. Shi Hu prohibited people from mentioning the word "Hu". Hu people became Chinese, and many food were forced to change their names. With a very emotional expression, he said, "our generation should catch up with our predecessors and take new steps."

"Of course, of course!" Xu zhengman said sonorously, "wait for the recovery of the old land of the Han family, we must kill to the West."

Now no one really knows what the western regions are going west. When the Eastern Han Dynasty ended, the kusana Empire and the Sabbath Empire continued to burp fart, and the Roman Empire was divided into two.

In fact, in the early days, the Central Plains imperial dynasty really thought that the "world" was not only itself, but also the surrounding barbarians and small countries. It was only when the Western Han Dynasty expanded to the western regions that it came into contact with the Sabbath empire. It was also known that Da Yueshi, who was almost exterminated by the Huns, established a country and knew nothing about the Roman Empire.

The contact between the Western Han Dynasty and the Sabbath empire was full of epic color. Knowing that the Han envoy was coming, the Sabbath emperor sent a 20000 person cavalry (armor and riding equipment) thousands of miles away from the country to meet him.

At that time, the Han envoy was surprised to see that 20000 elite cavalry came to meet him. Then he walked thousands of miles under the protection of Sabbath cavalry. Along the way, he saw a country with a large population and rich. After he returned home to report, the Han Empire concluded that Sabbath was strong. What the Han Empire did not expect was that the very powerful Sabbath empire was actually rubbed on the ground by the Roman Empire.

Similarly, the Sabbath Empire had long known that the Han Empire beat the Huns to a country where they had to move thousands of miles. The reason why the Han envoy would send 20000 armour riding gear to meet the Han envoy was actually afraid that the Han Empire would continue to expand westward after conquering the western regions, frighten them with a strong military potential, and arrange the Han envoy to go to Sabbath, a relatively prosperous area to demonstrate national strength.

According to the unofficial history, after the Sabbath Empire knew that it was recognized by the Han Empire, it once wanted to borrow troops from the Han Empire to resist the invasion of the Roman Empire. The Han Empire refused because it was a long way away. However, the kusana Empire at that time really sent troops to help the Sabbath Empire resist the Romans.

"The west? Wusun is still alive. The Sassanian Dynasty replaced the Sabbath empire. The kusana was divided into nine countries." In fact, Liu Yan didn't know how many were split. He saw Ji Chang and Xu Zheng listening attentively, The opening of the mouth is most of the nonsense: "when the Sassanian Dynasty goes West, some powerful countries have been destroyed, such as Armenia, Ptolemy and Carthage have been destroyed by the Romans. If the Han Dynasty expands to the West in the future, the first powerful country is the Sassanian people who are obsessed with one religion, one faith and one worship."

The reason why Liu Yan is talking nonsense is that the Sassanian Dynasty is not obsessed with religion, belief and worship at all. Only after the collapse of the Sassanian Dynasty can there be a person with one hand, a LAN and a machete to establish a vast Arab Empire.

Even if any ancient books in the Central Plains record the journey of the western regions to the west, they will only be carried in a few strokes. It was so difficult to find similar books that Ji Chang and Xu Zheng were fascinated when they heard Liu Yan talking nonsense according to his vague memory.

"It's not easy to expand westward and take the land route. It's all over the Gobi in the western regions. The more you go westward, the more desolate it is. In addition to a vast desert blocking the way, there's a road full of swamps." The swamp area mentioned by Liu Yan is the later central area of Russia 1 RO1 Si: "now there are only some primitive people in those places... They are really savages who eat hair and drink blood. They live a primitive life and probably still use stone tools? But they are very tall and strong."

"Like people deep east of Liaodong?" Ji Chang talked about some primitive tribes of Tungus and asked, "if you take the sea, can you easily conquer the local people?"

What's Liu Yan's answer? If there is a systematic map for the sea route, although it will be troublesome to find the route, it is certain that we can find the Ma 1 Liu 1 Jia Strait and conquer it... It's hard to say!
