Datang's free and easy concubine

Chapter 1782
The bearded man didn't follow Su Cheng all the time, he followed into Chang'an City and then left.

The bearded man has his own arrogance, and he doesn't want to see Li Shimin and the nobles in the court, and he doesn't want to hear the thanks from those people. It's not interesting to him at all, so why not talk about it with Su Cheng and the two jars of wine The world is more interesting.

Moreover, after drifting at sea for so long, he still wanted to really miss the fireworks in the world.

After getting off the ship, he immediately escorted Jinyin all the way to Chang'an, without having a good experience of the world of mortals.

So, after entering Chang'an City, he went to Duke Wei's Mansion.

After all, it is my righteous brother and sister. Although they don't spend much time together, they still have true feelings.

And he also knew that his righteous brother and righteous sister were really worried about him.

Now that I have returned to Chang'an, it would be unreasonable not to go to Duke Wei's mansion.

Wandering in Chang'an City, the bearded man strolled into a restaurant and sat down by the window, he was still thinking about what Li Jing said yesterday.

After going to sea for more than a year, he didn't expect so many things to happen. After returning, he felt a sense of vicissitudes.

Even though he has only been away for more than a year, it is as if he has been away for ten or twenty years.

In just over a year, Datang actually destroyed Goguryeo!

That's Goguryeo!
Emperor Yang of the Sui Dynasty conquered Liaodong three times and poured the power of the whole country, so that people's resentment boiled over and the country was overthrown, but he still failed to take down Goguryeo.

Raising a million teachers, even though Emperor Sui Yang had great ambitions and few famous generals in the court, he still ended in failure. This is already very illustrative.

It will not be easy to capture Liaodong!
It's not that he looks down on Li Shimin, he also knows that Li Shimin is a wise king and a famous general, but he also feels that Li Shimin can't win Liaodong!
Unless Li Shimin took the risk of shaking the country's foundation and went to war like the former Sui Dynasty.

However, Datang captured Goguryeo easily and simply!
Not only that, Datang took down Tuyuhun without bloodshed, and quickly captured Tubo!

To be honest, the bearded man was really surprised when he heard that Tang had captured Tubo, because he knew that capturing Tubo was even more difficult than capturing Goguryeo.

Because Tubo's terrain is easy to defend and difficult to attack, Tubo has a strong national power and wise lords, and Tubo people are brave and good at fighting.

Why was Datang able to capture Goguryeo and Tubo in more than a year?

It is impossible to do it only with Li Shimin and Li Jing and other courtiers. In the final analysis, it is because of Su Cheng!
As an outsider, the bearded man saw this point very clearly.

Su Cheng promoted Zhenguan rice, corn, and cotton, which brought Datang's national strength to a higher level. The abundance of food allowed Datang to launch two wars in succession in a short period of time.

As for Su Cheng's influence on the military, it goes without saying.

After listening to Li Jing's detailed account of the whole process, the bearded man felt quite emotional. If Su Cheng was born in the late Sui Dynasty, it could be said that Su Cheng would win the world, and even Su Cheng himself might win the world.

In just a few short years, Su Cheng has already changed the world so much.

Maybe the common people didn't feel it yet, but when the bearded man came back after a long absence, it was especially obvious.

Sometimes he even wanted to laugh, when the Sui Dynasty lost its deer, and the world chased it all together, it can be said that heroes came forth in large numbers.

When he met Li Jing and Li Shimin, he felt that the world belonged to the Li family, and later he lost his interest in playing in the world of mortals. In fact, he felt a little regretful.

Sometimes it is unavoidable to think that if he had participated in it back then, he might have had a chance to win the world.

But thinking about it now, it's boring, because he suddenly felt that Li Shimin, Li Jing, and Fang Xuanling were all inferior to Su Cheng.

Because whether it is Li Shimin, Li Jing or Fang Xuanling, at most they are just recreating the glory of history.

As for Su Cheng, the entire Central Plains is changing with each passing day because of him.

"Xiaoer, here are two jars of burning knives, what other signature dishes are there?" asked the bearded man.

"Hehe, you are asking objectively. Our signature dishes are all from Rongguo Mansion. As we all know, the dishes of Rongguo Mansion are unparalleled in the world. The dishes in our restaurant can have nine points of the dishes of Guogong Mansion. The heat is not much worse than that in the palace!" Xiaoer said attentively, with a little complacency on his brows.

"Serve all the delicious signature dishes!" The bearded man laughed. He didn't expect that Su Cheng not only changed the pattern of the world, but also changed the food in the world.

However, thinking back to the days when he was in Sujiazhuang, he couldn't help looking forward to it. Although he was not a gourmet, Sujiazhuang not only had delicious wine, but also delicious food.

Xiao Er first served cooked mutton, then braised pork, and brought a jar of fine wine with burning knives.

The bearded man couldn't wait to take a sip of the burning knife, and then took a long sip of the wine.

That's it!

Fun!

If you want to say what he misses the most while floating in the sea, it is undoubtedly burning knives and wine!
After drinking the good wine of burning knives, I feel dull and tasteless when I drink anything else.

The wine was good, and the food was also good. While drinking the fine wine and eating, the bearded man felt very comfortable in his heart.

It's been a long time since I had such a leisurely life. Drifting on the sea is exciting, but occasionally I need to adjust it.

The bearded man was drinking while paying attention to what the people in the restaurant were talking about. It wasn't that he was gossiping, but that he wanted to experience more about the lives of ordinary people.

"You don't know, this time Duke Rong's fleet came back with a lot of big boxes, all of which are gold!"

"Why don't you know? We've heard about it too. I also heard that Duke Rong took all the boxes to the Duke's mansion. He split all the boxes open with an axe. The gold inside piled up in the courtyard to form a golden mountain." !"

"That's right, I heard that when you walk outside, you can see the golden light inside. Even the emperor was shocked, and brought the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs to watch the fun!"

"My darling, overseas has really become golden, and a trip to the sea can actually bring back a golden mountain!"

"I've heard Rong Guogong say before that going to sea is a huge source of wealth. I didn't expect to be able to bring back a mountain of gold!"

"Nonsense, Duke Rong found a spice island before, and the spice island itself is a golden mountain!"

"Overseas is really full of golden mountains. It's a pity that we don't have ships. If we also have ships, then we will also join the Maritime Trade Association, go out to sea with Rong Guogong, and bring back a golden mountain. Then we will have no worries about food and drink for a few lifetimes. Already!"

The entire restaurant has been discussing about Jinshan, but at first the bearded man didn't understand, thinking that Su Cheng was too high-profile.

But as he listened, he suddenly understood that Su Cheng was clearly trying to create momentum for going to sea.
