29, honorable

In fact, it was completely wrong to conquer the Hu people in Han Yan. He occupied the right time, place and people. With his years of experience in surviving the world, he would naturally be able to grasp a straightforward and unscheming man.

However, it was probably for the sake of being a better person and being a slave had a temper. Han Erdan stayed in the dungeon for three days before coming out, which made Han Yan quite admire him.

Because no one gave him food for three days, Han Erdan was hungry without getting enough water. Only by struggling thoughts and corporal punishment can people recognize the reality and knowing that temper is useless, and only eating food is the truth.

It is said that Han Yan did the same.

I bought a few days ago and asked Xier to ask for a little bit of beef. I got a large bucket of corn and half a plate of chicken. I saw that Han Erdan, which was twice as thick as himself, swept the remaining clouds and ate half of the pills left.

Looking at his unsatisfactory appearance, Han Yan felt a little frustrated. If he had to give this to ordinary people, he would have to be poor even if he only had to eat. However, he couldn't bear to let his children get caught in the wolves. In the future, his life would be handed over to others. If there was an accident, he would have to protect him. After thinking about it, he felt balanced. It was just some food, which was not worth mentioning compared to his life.

"If you don't dislike me, I'll give you this bowl too." Han Yan handed over his black porcelain bowl, and the rice inside didn't move at all, and he was full of it.

Han Erdan hesitated for a moment and looked at the bowl, but was actually peeping Han Yan with his aftertaste. Maybe they were not very familiar with each other. He didn't pick up the bowl, but just silently lowered his head, used his fingers to pick up the leftover rice on the wall of the rice bucket, and then licked his hands with his tongue, extremely serious.

Han Yan didn't force himself, he picked up the bowl and wrung the rice to eat.

In fact, there was a little chicken soup on the plate, which he looked quite delicious, but to be honest, he still minded using things that others had used, especially Han Erdan grabbed the plate with his hands and said that everyone was equal, but in practice, he did not do it well.

The big man doesn’t have that kind of rule - he will make it again if he doesn’t have enough food.

The food here is extremely expensive. When you go to serve the rice, you must get enough rice. If you are not full, you have to endure it. If the dishes are not cleaned up, you will still have to lick the plate after eating.

Han Tuidang has always been like this and asked Han Yan to do the same. If he doesn't lick it, he will preach it and call it the habit of his ancestors.

But in Han Yan's opinion, this is really unacceptable. Who is the modern person licking the plate?

If you want to lick the plate in a restaurant, you will definitely attract strange eyes from others. You think your family is too poor to lose money and you will not even lick the beggars even if they eat.

It’s not okay to lick the plate at home, as your parents feel embarrassed. Is our family short of your food?

It is said that only Germans lick the plate. When their boss came to visit our country, he licked it after dinner and was also on the news. The fine traditions of his ancestors were maintained by others. Han Yan felt ashamed, but let him lick it... In his opinion, licking the plate would require fifty years to live less.

When I first returned to Gonggaohou Kingdom, I was dragged to do farm work because I was not cleaned up after eating and didn’t lick it.

The result is in vain. Modern people cannot change their cognition in their bones. Even if they starve to death, they will lick their plates. This is a matter of integrity and dignity in Han Yan's heart, but in the eyes of the Han people, it is a waste of food, which is shameful and hateful!

He drank a bowl of corn in a hurry, his throat was choked, and he took several sips of hot soup before he could barely swallow it, but there were still residues in the bowl... Han Yan didn't want to have leftover rice, but he couldn't swallow it anymore, so he had to put the bowl on the desk and wait for Xier to clean up.

Seeing that he put down the bowl, Han Erdan obviously stopped eating. Without thinking, he picked up his bowl, stuck out his big tongue and started licking it, like a pig eating something.

At this moment, Han Yan blushed and felt deeply ashamed. It seems very contradictory to eat food that is pity, but eating your leftovers. However, the former is to receive your charity, while the latter is something you discarded. I will use it again. It is not shameful.

Even the Hu people who did not understand education cherished food so much, so Han Yan decided to change his eating habits and maintain the inheritance of his ancestors.

After having a full meal, he was thinking of finding a room for Han Erdan to accommodate him in the Marquis's mansion. Unexpectedly, Han Tuidang came to him.

Seeing that the two of them were sitting together, the dishes on the table were obviously eaten together, and the first thing they said was that they were very generous: "What kind of style?"

"Grandpa, what's wrong with you?" Han Yan was a little confused and stood up to greet him.

Han Erdan looked alert and reached her hand on the table to grab the black porcelain bowl. However, there was an abnormal movement, smashing the bowl into pieces was a weapon.

"I heard that you bought a Hu slave. Not only did you let him eat beef, but you also sat with you. The slaves must have the rules of slaves. Do you understand?" Han Tuidang's face was gloomy and he was so angry that he was not strong enough.

Upon hearing this, Han Yan was stunned and suddenly remembered the customary rules of this era. Slaves are not allowed to sit with their masters, and it is even more impossible to eat beef, because even the princes often cannot eat it. What qualifications do you have as a servant?

If you are a prince, it would be a gift to your subordinates. You are just a gift to your servants. You are just Han Tuodang's grandson. You have to rely on Gonggao's marquis as the background, and they are the king... If you can't stand it, you will teach you.

There is a gap in identity and rank. How can slaves eat foods that are exclusively used by princes? Han Tuidang felt insulted.

"Grandpa, I have something to say to you, let's go out and talk." Han Yan took the lead in walking out the door with a slight pleading tone.

Han Tuidang thought for a moment, this evil grandson was smart, and he might have any plans. He glared at Han Erdan fiercely before following him.

The lobby of the Hou Mansion is simple and simple.

The grandfather and grandson sat opposite each other, and the two cups of hot tea on the table were steaming, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy. Han Yan was thinking, Han Tui should be waiting.

a long time.

"Grandpa, after the Spring Festival, I will go back to Chang'an."

"It's good to go back. Staying by the crown prince is better than being in this remote place."

"Don't target the slave I bought. He should be a Hun noble, and it will be of great use in the future."

"What?" Han Tuidang was stunned, dumbfounded, his hand holding the teacup was a little trembling, his mouth trembled, and he said in a suppressed voice: "I have an affair with the Huns, and I want to confiscate the family and destroy the clan."

"He is the slave I bought, and there is a deed. As long as I don't tell him, no one will know."

"He told you that he was a Hun noble?"

"I guess it shouldn't be bad. A few days ago, the Huns entered Shangjun, and two thousand soldiers of the Han army died in battle, and the Huns would not be without casualties. Entering the hinterland of the Han Dynasty, we Han people had a system of farming and war, and the whole people were soldiers. The Xiongnu plundering team was at risk of being surrounded at any time, and they were more likely to be disbanded. I guess he should be one of them and then wandered to our Gonggao Marquis."

"If you take in the Hun generals, you will definitely die if you are exposed." Han Tuidang stood up with his lips tense and wanted to get the sword hanging on the wall. "No, I'll go chop him up now, so as not to leak the news."

"I won't die if someone else dies. When I go to Chang'an, I will explain the situation to Liu Che. He has great ambitions and is determined to attack the Huns to end the policy of fraternity that is humiliating the power and humiliating the country. To attack the Huns, you must be familiar with their terrain and the location of the royal courts. Han Erdan is absolutely aware of it. With him, the crown prince will value me more."

"..." Han Tuidu was stunned and stared at Han Yan blankly, as if he didn't know him anymore. How many people in the world can reach this mind and strategy.

At this moment, Han Yan's eyes shone brightly, and a faint smile on his face, as if a simple child was recognized.

"Grandpa, after I leave, you will help me with the papermaking workshop outside the city. Carpenters know how to produce technology and treat him preferentially. When the emperor and court ministers use the paper I made, they can be sold in the public. The current price of paper is comparable to gold. When our paper is on the market, it will definitely drop the price of paper. We must follow the path of small profits but quick turnover and make paper popular among the public. This is my original intention of making paper, and no one can change it. If someone makes the supply of paper on the market for the sake of profit, hoarding goods, and raising prices, I will come back to chop him up."

"You want me to be a businessman?" Han Tuidang glared at him as soon as he finished speaking.

Han Yan didn't care and said with a smile: "Businessmen are called doing business, and princes are called working hard to govern. It is not the same concept. Money is a good thing. Teacher Wei Wan promised me to monopolize the papermaking industry. Although it is not as wealthy as a country, it is also full of wealth. Don't you think it's too much money, right?"

"..." Han Tui was convinced. Damn, you are right no matter how you say it.

"Han Shuo travels to the vassal states. After I leave, you will urge him to buy property in various parts of the Han Dynasty to lay the groundwork for us to sell paper. These properties are also related to my plan and are more important than paper. You must pay attention to it." Han Yan urged.

"I know, I know." Han Tuidu waved his hand a little irritated. Why did it seem like you are grandpa and I am a grandson?
