Chapter 1 I have guests

In the fifth year of Xiande in the Later Zhou Dynasty, the sixteenth year of Ganhe in the Southern Han Dynasty, and in 958 AD.

That year, Chai Rong, the Emperor of Zhou Shizong, was in his prime, personally marched to the Yangtze River, and rode his horse and whipped it on the Yangtze River. The Southern Tang Dynasty was defeated step by step, and the road to seeking peace envoys was endless. The famous poet emperor, Li Yu, was still a slutty little prince.

Zhao Kuangyin, the black-faced man who established the Northern Song Dynasty, also served as the governor of Zhongwu Army, and was not far from his Longxing land, Songzhou.

In the Southern Han area located in Lingnan, except for the tyranny as usual, it was still as dull as water, and people lived a difficult life.

In Yongzhou, time is around Qingming Festival and midday, but the sky is gray and rain is drizzling. Although the road is not rugged, it is muddy and has not been repaired for a long time.

Fortunately, this is an official road, and there are also some pedestrians and business trips coming and going. A small wine house and three or two bamboo houses are rising, wisps of smoke are rising for rest and food.

A wine house, a wooden shed, several wooden tables, three or two small businessmen in short clothes, were drinking the hot wine that had just been hot, and communicating in a low voice, as if they were far away from Panyu, but they were much more courageous.

"Have you heard that? Your Majesty is in good health and has ignored the government for several days!"

"What a nonsense, when will Your Majesty deal with the government again?" There was a burst of laughter at the table.

"This time it's different. His Majesty went to the north of the city himself, and it seems he is choosing..."

"Several guest officials, it is difficult for a young man to manage. He keeps his words and virtues!"

The shop owner, who was only forty years old, was wearing a black robe that was not old and was quickly bowed. His temples were gray. Although he was in his prime, he had wrinkles on his face and said with a wrinkle.

"What the store said is that although there are thousands of miles from Yongzhou to Panyu, you have to be careful!"

"What the customer said!" After hearing this, the shopkeeper agreed and turned his head. He saw a dozen young men wearing straw raincoats walking in. The leader looked handsome, and under the strawcoat, there were gorgeous clothes, which was extraordinary.

What is even more amazing is that there are few horses in the south, but these ten people have them all, and they are very tall, and they deserve the horse.

"Mr. Please sit in. There is a lot of rain at the door!" Seeing the extraordinary young man, he quickly bent down and wiped the already clean wooden table. He called the waiter to serve tea and served him carefully, for fear of arousing the dissatisfaction of the man.

"Thank you for your advice!" Several merchants were also sharp-eyed. Seeing the handsome and generous manner, they quickly stood up to thank him.

"It's okay, go out and be careful!" The young man waved his hand, but muttered in his heart, it was hard to hide his resentment. It seemed that the rule of the Southern Han Dynasty was in danger!

Li Jia was originally a native of the Celestial Empire. He was only thirty years old and already had his own store. When he was about to make great achievements, he suddenly traveled through time and came to the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms where the tyrants were rising and the wars were chaotic.

What's even more sad is that he has been to the Southern Han Dynasty, a strange country that relies on eunuchs to govern the country, which has been three years.

Looking at the cup of tea mixed with various seasonings in front of me, it was yellow and black, and I frowned. When I came to ancient times, it was so difficult to drink a sip of tea, and I added all the messy things.

"Mr. Lang, this store is small and there is no good tea. Please forgive me!"

"Please come over a bowl of hot soup, and let them heat up a few pots of wine!" Looking at the store's care, Li Jia smiled, pointed to the dozen strong guards and said.

Hot soup, hot water.

"You are kind to you, my duty!"

The young man's smile relieved the store owner. Although drinking hot soup puzzled him, his face was filled with smiles, "Do you want to eat?"

“Can there beef?”

"My husband, please forgive me, the plowing ox is expensive and the small shop cannot afford it!" the shop owner said with a grudge.

“Where is the game?”

"I just bought several mountain snakes from the mountain people yesterday. They are very thick, can I?"

Mountain snake, also known as the southern snake, Li Jia knew that this is a widely distributed snake species in the south. It is non-toxic, slightly fertile and can eat heavy food. It is no problem to grow thirty or forty kilograms, and it is simply a delicacy for humans.

"Li Wei!" Li Langjun shouted to a group of big men

"Langjun--" A strong man stood up, with big arms and round waist, dark skin, round eyes, and about 1.8 meters tall. In Lingnan, he is already very tall.

"Go and pick a few mountain snakes and cook a snake soup for your brothers." Li Jia waved his hand and said boldly.

"Thank you, my husband--" the great men shouted in unison, sitting upright, four people at a table, in a neat manner, very organized, amazing.

Li Jia smiled knowingly, it would be worth training them for two years, even if they were eating and drinking, they had rules.

"Shopkeeper, there is a mountain snake that can be eaten, why don't you tell me!" Three merchants put together a table, and one of them was fat. When he heard the word mountain snake, his saliva was almost flowing out.

On this rainy day, eating snake soup is so beautiful!

"I'm sorry, it's not that the old man doesn't say anything, but every mountain snake can be as small as hundreds of dollars, and the worst is as serious as hundreds..."

Although they did not say it clearly, the three of them also understood that the store owner knew that they were walking together, traveling around the world, and were short of money, so how could they spend so much?

The three of them laughed and stopped talking.

"Shopkeeper, choose a mountain snake for these people, pick the heavy ones, meet is fate, and I will settle the account today!"

Looking at the thin brown clothes, although Lingnan was hot, it was just spring, and the rain continued. Li Jia's heart moved and his voice was very loud.

"Thank you, Mr. Li, for the reward!" The three of them stood up, and the chubby merchant spoke the most loudly.

"How do you know me?" Li Jia said in confusion.

"Who doesn't know the name of Lang Jun?" The Jianwu Army was a vassal state, that is, the local governor, and held the power of finance, military and judicial power. The demise of the Tang Dynasty was therefore.

However, Jianwu Town has not had a military governor for many years, and the emperor doesn't want it to exist.

"Where do you start with this?" Li Jia became interested and became famous. Who doesn't like it?

"Two years ago, the husband was selfless and announced the secret recipe for crows, curing the insect disease that has caused the southern part of thousands of years. In the whole of Lingnan, who would not applaud Li Langjun, who is a living good man? I heard that His Majesty is preparing to give you an official position!"

"Not to mention, you punish bandits, take refuge in refugees, and everyone praises you in Jianwu Town."

"How can you find a second one in Yongzhou, a gentleman like you who is kind-faced and chivalrous in the whole of Yongzhou?"

The insect disease, also known as the big belly disease, is caused by schistosomiasis and is collectively known as the Three Viciouss of Lingnan.

The patient is as big as a pregnant woman, but her bones are as thin as a belly, and her insects are sucking nutrients, so she gradually loses weight. According to legend, the mother-son river in the Kingdom of Women in Journey to the West was inspired by this, which is extremely terrifying.

What's even more terrifying is that the infection rate is extremely high, and it is difficult for animals and humans to escape.

"It's too good, I just did my best to do something, and I can't say that everyone praised it so much!" Li Jia smiled and shook her head, and said modestly, but the joy in her eyes could not be hidden. Who doesn't like to listen to good words?

"I wonder everyone?" Looking at the people in front of them, they were dressed in coarse cloth and brown clothes, poor, but were sitting in the restaurant with a dazzling look, extremely strange.
