Chapter 1048: Endless Peach Blossom Tea Soup


    The matter of educating the barbarians was finally put on the practical agenda. In the past two days, Fei Qian was basically busy dealing with the accumulated official duties. After finally coming to an end, he came to Shoushan Academy. place.


    The scale of the Academy is getting larger and larger now, and more and more people are benefiting from it, forming a complete ecological chain, just like the restaurants and shops near the university towns in later generations. As long as there are places where people gather, there will be Bring a lot of business.


    ?These ordinary people work from dawn to dusk to earn a living to support their families, or to make a fortune, but the students of Shoushan Academy above Taoshan want to earn an official position and a high profile.


    Individuals have different desires, but this Taoshan has become a place where desires gather. What is hidden under the fragrance of books and ink is still the human nature rolling in the world of mortals, and these human natures have brought some troubles to Fei Qian.


    “…Ziyuan, come on, try this peach blossom tea soup…”


    ??Cai Yong pointed to the tea soup on the table with a smile, and looked at Fei Qian with a smile. During this period, Cai Yong has become more and more youthful, his face is shiny and rosy, and he is no worse than young people.


    ?In the relationship between master and apprentice, sometimes the master is proud of the apprentice, and sometimes the apprentice is proud of the master. But after all, in this period of the Han Dynasty, the relationship between master and apprentice was sometimes better than that between father and son.


    ??Cai Yong does have a certain leisurely mood, which can be seen from this tea soup. Although the tea soup of the Han Dynasty has always been the birthplace of dark cuisine, what the **** is this peach blossom tea soup?


    "...I saw that the peach blossoms were extraordinarily beautiful this year, so I took the peach blossoms from the third day of March to midnight, removed the calyx stems, tanned them, dried them in the sun, sealed them and stored them in a cellar..." Cai Yong introduced enthusiastically, stroking the flowers as he spoke. With a beard, he looked a little proud, "...When cooking, in addition to the refined tea, only a little green salt is added to enhance its flavor, a little black plum is added to enhance the flavor, and a little dried **** is added to remove the dampness and coldness... Ziyuan, can Try it and see…”


    Well.


    All right.


    Fei Qian reluctantly picked up the tea bowl and took a sip. Well, actually compared with traditional Chinese medicine, this tea soup is not that bad to drink...


    In fact, now in Pingyang City, Qifei Qian''s tea soup is gradually becoming popular.


    What is good above is bound to be bad below.


    ? It is precisely because Fei Qian basically asked his attendants to cook some tea soup at the Council Hall, so everyone basically knew that Fei Qian preferred to drink such tea soup, and they gradually followed suit. Even Fei Qian''s method of wrapping Gebu in tea bricks to reduce some impurities in the tea soup was also learned.


    It''s just that the tea soup is extremely bitter, so it''s better to add some honey, some green onions, ginger, and other miscellaneous things to suit the appetite of the Han Dynasty people. Therefore, the habit of making tea soup spread around Pingyang. Cai Naturally, there is no need to follow new trends here.


    So this peach blossom tea soup is naturally rich in flavor.


    “…Okay, good tea!” Fei Qian gulped, swallowed the tea soup, and then said.


    Cai Yong laughed and said: "...Well, I think Zi Yuan must also like it... Come here, go and get a jar of peach blossoms that I have sealed behind the hall for Zi Yuan!"


    "Uh...this...student is being disrespectful..." Fei Qian knew in his heart that refusing was useless and would probably make Cai Yong unhappy, so he accepted it without saying any polite words.


    ?? Is this jar of peach blossoms valuable? It''s not very valuable, but it''s not valuable. After all, it came from Cai Yong''s house. No matter how much people want to spend, they can''t get it.


    What’s more, the elderly are like this. Later generations of Fei Qian''s parents also always touched a little here and tidied up a few things there every time Fei Qian wanted to say goodbye. They always asked Fei Qian to carry these things with both hands before leaving, as if this way they could feel at ease.


    ??Although Cai Yong is not Fei Qian''s parent, the friendship is basically the same, so Fei Qian can''t refuse it.


    Cai Yong smiled and saw Fei Qian''s bodyguard going down with the peach blossom jar, then he stroked his beard and said slowly: "...Zi Yuan, what you mentioned before about letting the great scholar go to Hu Di to teach... is quite a bit... Difficulties…”


    ? Fei Qian knows that this is not so easy to say, and it is very difficult to actually put it into practice.


    Just like later generations have been emphasizing support for the frontier, and then proposed various preferential conditions, and even advertised state officials as rewards, but there are still few people paying attention. The reason is very simple. After all, the living conditions and environment are too different. Not everyone can bear this hardship.


    "The education of the barbarians must be carried out..." Fei Qian pondered for a moment and said, "...This policy was already discussed and decided at the time of Luoyang, how could it be abandoned halfway? The master has a good heart, is this... a bad person, or someone else? Just do it…”


    Cai Yong opened his eyes and said seriously: "This is a good deed, how can it be forced? Moreover, if you do it by force, you won''t do it with all your heart, and if you feel resentment, it will inevitably be a little...somewhat unsightly..."


    ??The words used by Cai Yong are relatively light. In fact, if some special circumstances really happen, so-called "traitors" will appear...


    One of them must be the famous traitor of the Han Dynasty, the Bank of China said.


    Zhong Xing is said to have been a great **** during the period of Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty. It is unclear whether he was favored or not, but the Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty sent him to **** the princess to the Huns for marriage. It is said that this is a glorious political task, and most people are not qualified to get such an errand. However, the Bank of China said that he personally did not want to go to the desolate Xiongnu territory, so he made excuses to refuse.


    However, Emperor Wenwen of the Han Dynasty believed that Zhongxing was from Yan and grew up in Shuofang. He should be more familiar with the situation of the Huns than other people. He was originally sent to spy on the Xiongnu and collect intelligence, so it was more appropriate for Zhongxing to say that he was an envoy. As a result, seeing Bank of China being so stubborn, Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty got angry and refused to replace him, insisting that Bank of China persuade him to take this trip. BOC said that his arms could not twist his thighs, so he had to set off in frustration.


    Perhaps for this reason, or perhaps for other reasons, Zhongxing said that as soon as the Xiongnu arrived, he surrendered to the old Chanyu, became a close confidant of the Chanyu, and began to target the Han Dynasty.


    First, the actual situation of trade between the Han Dynasty and the Xiongnu was told to the Chanyu, and even like the Xiongnu Chanyu, he was asked to take the lead in giving up the demand for the exquisite services and food of the Han Dynasty, and instead used the original nomadic people''s food. Felt cloth and rough food caused the little trade gap that the Han Dynasty had finally cultivated, and then it went to waste.


    ??Later on, another envoy from the Han Dynasty was going to reprimand Zhongxing Sui. At first, he even thought that he could win and humiliate Zhongxing Sui. However, he did not expect that he was refuted by Zhongxing Sui and was speechless.


    I have to admit that BOC was very familiar with the Han Dynasty at that time, and the accusations it pointed out under the "state of etiquette and righteousness" were extremely sharp. Even some of BOC''s theories were still used by the famous youth digital movement in later generations. Someone grandly took it out again and framed it. However, Zhong Xing said that he later disappeared from the history books, so no one knows what his fate was. However, according to Fei Qian''s personal guess, the knight-errant culture in the Han Dynasty was extremely serious. The Bank of China said that it was very likely that he died at the hands of a knight-errant. However, it is possible that the knight-errant also died on the spot, so it is not known to anyone.


    People need to go, but they cannot be forced to go. Otherwise, it will be difficult for human nature to withstand any test. Just like the doctrines that future generations talk about every day, aren''t there still a large number of people who are either corrupt or degenerate, or surrender in the face of torture and become lackeys of hostile forces?


    “Master’s intention…disciple also knows, don’t worry…” Fei Qiangong cupped his hands and said, “…then I still need to bother Master to help…”


    "If this can be accomplished, it will be a great achievement. I should do my best. I just don''t know how Zi Yuan wants to do it?" Cai Yong was a little confused.


    Fei Qian smiled and said: "I still need to make some preparations. Master, you might as well wait for two days and then you will know..."


    ……………


    The years are quiet and peaceful.


    ?This is how Fei Qian feels in his heart almost every time he sees Cai Yan.


    "...The Shujie passed away far away, and it means stability for a period of time. The long road is endless, and the distant water flows back to the river. After crossing Niyang, the sun is gone, and it is sad that the ancestral temple is not repaired. Release the remaining horses in Pengyang , and think about yourself. The sun is darkening, and the cattle and sheep are coming down. The sadness of the vast land, the lament of the poet..."


    Fei Qian listened quietly, listening to Cai Yan''s voice, which was not loud but still ups and downs, revolving in the forest corridor, vividly expressing this slightly sad poem.


    "..." Cai Yan noticed something strange, so he stopped, then turned his head and saw Fei Qian, he couldn''t help but let out a soft "Yeah", and then said, "...when did junior brother come?"


    “I just came here not long ago.” Fei Qian cupped his hands and said, “What, why is Senior Sister reading and reciting this poem? But what can’t you gain from it?”


    ??Cai Yan was stunned for a moment, then put down the book in his hand, lowered his head and said: "...It''s nothing, just read casually..."


    Read casually?


    Fei Qian didn''t believe it, but he didn''t continue to inquire. Instead, he nodded and said: "Sister, it''s better to be here, it''s clean... I''ve been busy writing documents and writing approvals for the past two days, and my wrists are so sore... Senior sister doesn''t know that the officials outside the Political Affairs Office , I wish I could stick the wooden slip of running script under my nose and let me be the first to read it..."


    Seeing what Fei Qian said was interesting, Cai Yan pursed his lips and smiled, put down the book in his hand, and asked the maid on the side to prepare tea.


    "...Alas, alas," Fei Qian quickly stretched out his hand and said, "...I was just in the front hall and drank a lot of tea soup with the master... uh... In this way, I just want to drink a little bit more, a little bit..."


    Cai Yan watched the maid cooking tea soup and asked, "Why did you come to see your father this time?"


    "It''s nothing..." Fei Qian subconsciously wanted to deny it, but was quickly defeated by Cai Yan''s clear eyes. He moved to the pavilion, sat down and said slowly, "...I was in Luoyang earlier. At that time, I had discussed with my master about the sinicization of the Hu people, and this time it was just the right time..."


    The Sinicization of the Hu people is not a big secret. In a few days, Fei Qian will start recruiting these Confucian disciples who are willing to teach the Hu people on a large scale, so he will let Cai Yan know one day sooner or later. Not a problem.


    "Educate the barbarians?" Cai Yan frowned slightly, forming a thin line between his eyebrows, "...the barbarians...I remember someone proposed it during the reign of Emperor Wen, but later..."


    ??Cai Yan glanced at Fei Qian and stopped talking.


    ??Anyone can roughly guess what happened next. After all, if Emperor Wen of the Han Dynasty had succeeded in educating the barbarians, nothing would have happened to Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty.


    ?But now, for Fei Qian, it is a new challenge.


    "...Hu people are cruel in nature and have different cultural and social skills. It is not easy to teach them. Junior brother, you have to think carefully..." Cai Yan took the tea bowl brought by the maid, then raised his chin and gestured to Fei Qian to drink tea. While saying, "... If you succeed, you will have little effect; if you fail, you will become a laughing stock... Junior brother, you need to think about it..."


    “…” Fei Qian silently took the tea soup and took a sip.


    Hmm, why does it still smell like this?


    “…This…is this peach blossom tea?” Fei Qian couldn’t help but ask. How come both father and daughter have fallen in love with peach blossom tea recently? Although the production of this tea is more refined than Cai Yong''s, the taste is still not the same.


    Cai Yan smiled and said: "Yes... Oh, I must have drank it at my father''s place... When spring comes here, the mountains are full of peach blossoms. It would be a pity to let them fall into dust and turn into mud... Junior brother, you know, I usually I had more free time, so I collected some peach blossoms to make tea with the maids, which had a different flavor..."


    Cai Yan suddenly seemed to think of something, and then felt slightly embarrassed. He lowered his head, raised his sleeves and hid his face as if drinking tea.


    Fei Qian was holding the tea bowl, and had been thinking about this enlightenment in his mind, so he didn''t notice the slight difference in Cai Yan, "...it''s also a matter of time. During the time of Emperor Wen, the Huns were tyrannical, but now the Huns have been divided into the north and the south, and this This time it was also Yu Fuluo, the Chanyu of the Southern Xiongnu, who asked for some Confucian disciples to teach and teach scriptures, which happened to be the right thing to do to promote enlightenment. If we miss this opportunity, we don’t know when we will be able to wait until next time..."


    Fei Qian sighed and said: "...Education is a matter of great benefit to the future. I think that although this matter is difficult, someone must do it after all..."


    ?Fei Qian doesn’t know that it’s not easy. There is probably nothing in the world that is more difficult than changing a person''s mind, but at least Fei Qian is ahead of the Han Dynasty with more than a thousand years of accumulation of thinking and the massive information reserves of later generations. It is somewhat better than the Han Dynasty, or from the Han Dynasty. In the future, some Chinese people will have to be clearer.


    Cai Yan looked at Fei Qian, pondered for a moment, smiled as brightly as a peach blossom, signaled the maid to add some more tea soup to Fei Qian, then raised the tea bowl and said with a bit of heroism: "...Senior Sister, then With this tea, I wish my junior brother success!”


    Fei Qian was startled: "Ah? Still drinking..."
