As the saying goes, in spring, autumn, and summer, when the farming is busy, old farmers may still be able to work hard all the time, but they are not physically strong and work harder. However, young people in their teens may be able to play for half an hour, but after a long time, they can fall asleep after resting.

The solution is of course very simple, ensuring more sleep and exercise. It is just a bit of a loss for workshops and large farms.

"Gulugulu..."

Seeing the black liquid in the pot bubbled, on the third dock of China Resources, the young porter yawned and wrapped his clothes that were not thick on his body. Then he whispered to the old man in the China Resources workers' rest area: "Uncle, what is this? It smells strange?"

"I don't know, it was a Hu man who respected Zhang Gong. It tasted very bitter!"

The old family was a little hunched, with the surname Mai, and was from the Mai clan. This year, Jiangxia City officially opened the Iron Staff Temple, and he followed him to enjoy the joy. Because of his duty in his hometown, he had recommended the young Mai clan, which made him have a beautiful wife in Jiangxia City.

Although he was just a helper for the coolie, the workers on the dock also had some spare money. Often, those who were playing money would give him a "soup" when the winners became popular.

"How could anyone eat it?"

"I won't fall asleep after eating."

After the old man said, "I don't know what the reason is, but I just don't sleep. I heard that the Western Army also has this kind of warm-up body."

In the Jianghan Observation Envoy's Mansion, Zhang De, the "Admiral of Jianghan", rubbed the small coffee beans in his hand, put them in front of his nose and sniffed it, and then shook his head: "Sure enough, I still have no taste and don't understand this tune."

Lao Zhang guessed that he would never appreciate the pros and cons of coffee in his lifetime...

"Sir, the villain is in Jiaozhou, but he is loyal to the work."

Kneeling on the cushion, Hu Shang holding it with his flattering face in his hands, asking Zhang De for credit. The man's name is Shahli, a relative and friend of the same clan recommended by a Ximuyere-soldier army, Changshahin. Unlike Shahsin, this man was quite timid, but very greedy for money. So after two years, he smuggled a batch of coffee from Aksum City and entered the South China Sea through the merchant ship of Prince Gundam.

A thousand years later, coffee may not be a big deal, but at this time, Aksum City strictly prohibited the export of coffee species and coffee trees. Shahli transformed himself into a transformation because of Shahing's recommendation, and with the influence of the Tang Dynasty at this time, he became famous in the southern Tianzhu area.

But gaining a reputation would not gain much benefit. Because everything about him came from the acquiescence of the Tang Dynasty and the support of China Resources.

After getting to know Persian merchants who were doing business in South India, Shahli discovered a shortage of coffee. At this time, the status of coffee in the Red Sea and the Nile River is equivalent to the status of peppercorns in the river center.

The peppercorn trees were explicitly prohibited from being exported by the Tang Dynasty. Similarly, the coffee trees were prohibited from being spread in Aksum City.

After Shahli met Persian merchants, both sides had a bold idea, why not give coffee to China Resources and to the Tang Dynasty?

After two years of planning, the tax officials in Aksum City were bribed, and the window period of wind and waves in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf was relatively stable. Only then did they lose half of the ship cargo, but then they successfully entered Jiaozhou with the help of Prince Gundam.

Du Zhenglun and Li Daoxing personally accepted this batch of special "smuggling goods". For Shahli, both Du Zhenglun and Li Daoxing are "Governors of the Tang Dynasty" and are the big figures. Such big figures are personally dispatched to deal with things just because of a person's message, which shows how powerful this person is.

Shahli had fantasized about what Zhang De looked like countless times. He never fantasized about the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty because in his opinion, the Emperor of the Tang Dynasty had exceeded his imagination.

"I have recorded your credit." Zhang De nodded, and then said to Shahli, "Think of a name. I allow you to become a naturalized Jiangxia City. After completing the procedures, you are Tangren."

In an instant, Shahli was stunned. After a while, he cried with joy and knocked his head against his head, "Master Hou Wandae, Master Hou Wandae--"

With the identity of the Tang people, it was of great convenience for him to go to business in the sea of ​​Tianzhu. He would become a leader among the entire Ximuyere people and could ask for them without even an explanation.

"Go down."

"Yes, yes, yes... Thank you, sir..."

He bent over and slowly retreated out. Shahli walked out of the door, waved his fists in the corridor, then walked quickly, then trotted, and when he left the observation mansion, he burst into laughter, then ran to a ready-to-wear house, took out a silver dollar, and said in a strong Jiaozhou accent: "Shopkeeper, I want a new dress. Do I have cotton? I want cotton!"

A few days later, when Zhang De was inspecting the construction site on Hutoujersey, an aide came over and said to him, "Eunuch, the Hu man really doesn't know what to say. He actually went to Huangzhou and asked a monk to name him."

"How much does he ask a bookmaker to pay?"

Lao Zhang also found it strange.

"It is a big deal to say that it is a name, and it should not be easily slapped by ordinary people."

"What's his name?"

"What name can a monk take? Hun is like a Buddhist name, called Wujing, and his name is Zhongqing... He said that he was Xing Er, and Shahin is the eldest brother."

“…”

Your hometown is Liusha River? A coffee tree is planted next to it? Then you came to the Tang Dynasty because Master Xuanzang, who was discussing Buddhism with others under the Bodhi tree in India, had a friendship?

What's OK?

"After all I have taken the word, don't call him by his name in the future."

Although it sounds like Zhang De wants to take care of Shahli... no, it is Sha Wujing's face, but the staff always feel that there is an ulterior motive.

But no matter what, Sha Zhongqing did make a contribution. Although the taste of coffee is not as good as the taste of Tang people, its effect is self-evident.

In this era when scholars and officials talked about the mystery and relying on "Five Stones" to add their skills, it is more reliable to drink coffee, at least they are in good spirits.

The effect of refreshing the spirit, even if it is only half an hour, is enough to determine many things.

Beep boo...

Spring has begun in the Central Plains, but the Zhujubo royal city of the Western Regions is still as cold as winter. Every night, there are sometimes snowflakes blowing from nowhere.

In front of a bonfire in the city, An Pu, who had shaved his beard, shook the snowflakes on his shoulders, then picked up a bamboo cup and took a sip of coffee.

"Bah! What kind of bird is really like a bitter gall!" An Pu shouted, then shouted, "Get some more candy!"

"Captain, this candy is not cheap. How many animals can be exchanged for a can? Not to mention women."

"Just those slut-smelling girls in the city, can you sleep?"

Although it is not considered water shortage, there are very few people in the Western Regions who take baths all year round. Not to mention poor families, even well-off families, they mostly don’t take baths. Those who can sing in Chang'an are wealthy families in their hometowns. Even so, there are not many lustful people in the market who can bear the smell of Gu Ji.

Most of the famous Hu women who can be sought after by the two capitals are Turkic or Shule. The appearance of these women is mostly "like China", such as the Kiji Guren. The strong men who travel to and from Longyou in the Western Regions often regard themselves as "Follower Li Ling". In fact, they have black hair and black eyes, which are very different from the surrounding tribes.

The soldiers of the Western Army were not used to beauty, but they were not hungry and could not choose food. Some people who could not control themselves were forced by Cheng Chubi to practice calligraphy at night, which suppressed their anger.

"My mother, let's drink this 'Kavaha'. After drinking it, we'll set off!"

The deputy lieutenant first Gan Weijing, after a cup of coffee, patted the armor hanging on the side, and then said, "The road is blocked with heavy snow. The Turks seem to be crowded with people, but as long as they cannot be captured for a long time, they will be defeated! But the city will not be able to defend to the death. Tonight, the brothers will practice their courage again!"

"The commander defended the Turks' ambition during the day, attacked the city but did not take it down. The Turks' breath had already dispersed. Tonight, the commander gave us fifty more people. Can 300 people do great things? If we brothers are not as good as Duke of Wei, three thousand people will lose the Turks' vitality. But if the Turks' cubs break a few more teeth, can they always do it?"

After the deputy lieutenant of the Strengthening Corps said, An Pu also drank all the coffee, "Drink it all, cheer up, let's go out to do a big deal. When we go to Chang'an in the future, we will never drink this bird's business again! Do it!"

"Done!"

After three hundred people finished drinking, they stopped making noise. They kept their archers and held their spears silently, and took their beloved horses and left.
Chapter completed!
