Return to the Three Kingdoms with the Empire System

Chapter 374
After Cai Yan entered the inn where Ye Mo stayed, he naturally would not choose to eat on the first floor where there was a lot of people.Moreover, Cai Yan did not come here for the purpose of eating.

After casually finding a private room upstairs, I casually ordered some food.Well, I did order some food at random, just picking the most expensive ones and serving them first.

Although the inn's business is booming, but with such a big customer, the efficiency will naturally increase a bit.In less than half an hour, all the dishes Cai Yan ordered were served.

The first one is the very ordinary tomato scrambled eggs.If this dish was placed in Ye Mo's previous life, it would indeed be an extremely common dish.But at this time, apart from the inns and restaurants controlled by the Luo family, who else in the big man can produce tomatoes?

Moreover, at this time, there is no such thing as raising chickens in Dahan's farm.Therefore, those eggs are also extremely rare game.

Say something like "Jade plate delicacies are worth tens of thousands of dollars", this plate of tomato scrambled eggs is worth the old nose's money.

The next dish served was also a very common dish in Ye Mo's previous life: bamboo shoots with pickled peppers.Although bamboo shoots are a common thing, pickled peppers are not so common!
To be precise, chili, a condiment, was not popular in the Han Dynasty.Some people may use chili as a seasoning in some places, but it is not the mainstream after all.

The third dish was a very common dish in this dynasty: cabbage soup.However, don't ignore the season. Cabbage appears at this time, which can be regarded as an out-of-season vegetable.

……

After the five dishes are served, the waiter will leave the box.

It's just that, if Cai Yan doesn't ask some questions clearly at this time, he won't be in the mood to eat. "Xiao Er, wait a minute, I'll ask you a few questions."

As soon as the waiter in the store heard Cai Yan calling him to stop, he immediately stopped going out and turned back to the table. "Miss, I don't know what questions I want to ask?"

"Let me ask you, how many people are staying in your inn now?" Cai Yan looked at the waiter, but pretended to ask casually.

The mistress didn't know why Cai Yan asked such a question, but as a senior mistress, he knew Cai Yan.Of course, Cai Yan didn't know him.

"During this period, there are not many people staying in the inn. After all, we have to go home to celebrate the New Year." The waiter smiled as he said it, not worried at all because there were too few people staying in the inn.Moreover, looking at the smile on the waiter's face, it seems that he can get a big red envelope during the Chinese New Year.

When Cai Yan heard Xiaoer say that there were not many people living in the inn, she immediately nodded secretly. "The people staying there just now went down to eat, do you remember?"

When Cai Yan asked such a question, the smile on Xiao Er's face stopped immediately.According to the rules of the inn, the privacy of the guests needs to be carefully guarded. "Miss, if you want to know something, you can ask our shopkeeper, so don't make things difficult for us servants."

As soon as the little girl finished speaking, Cai Yan hadn't opened her mouth yet, but the maid beside her stood up at this moment. "You are just a small servant, my lady asks you a question and you dare not answer it!"

The little girl looked at the maid beside Cai Yan, feeling at a loss for a moment.

Cai Yan looked at Xiao Er who was a little uneasy, but gave the maid beside him a wink. "I just want to know where those two people live. This question should not break the rules of this shop."

As soon as Cai Yan finished speaking, the maid next to her immediately took out an ingot of silver from the sachet on her body and put it on the table.

……

And in Ye Mo's room, Ye San is also sitting in the room at the moment.However, Ye San thought about stripping off the woman's clothes on him, but was severely reprimanded by Ye Mo.

"Young master, what are we here for?" Ye San pestered Ye Mo and asked this question many times along the way.However, Ye Mo didn't give him an answer every time.

But this time, Ye Mo didn't know if it was because Ye Mo was annoyed by the question, or because he felt that he had reached his destination anyway, but he told the purpose of this trip.

"One purpose is very clear, which is to wait for Luo Wu and ask him to go to Pingyuan City to get a repeating crossbow. The other purpose is to wait for the envoy from Xiliang. However, it is hard to say whether he will wait."

After hearing what Ye Mo said, Ye San could only sit down again in frustration. "Even the young master doesn't know if there will be any results, so what else do we have to wait for? Besides, the envoy from Xiliang, how could he come here during the Chinese New Year?"

Ye Mo heard Ye San's mumbled words, but he didn't say anything, he just smiled and shook his head lightly.

Speaking of before, with Ma Chao's character, after capturing Xiliang and Tianshui, he would directly become king on his own.It's just that, beside Ma Chao, there are still Guo Jia and Xu Shu, two world-class talents.

Moreover, on the way here, Ye Mo had already found out that after Ma Chao avenged his father, he actually returned his soldiers and horses to Yizhou.

If you don't know the details, you will naturally think that Ma Chao is a loyal minister of the great man, who is reincarnated.Even in the mouths of the common people, words of loyalty about Ma Chao are constantly being circulated.

But Ye Mo is very clear that all of this is not to mention the credit of Guo Jia and Xu Shu.But at least [-]% of it is the masterpiece of these two people.

Although Ma Chao has some strength, the reason why he can still exist is that Ma Chao has no obvious traces of anti-Han. One of the very important reasons is geographical factors.

In the central Sichuan area, there are many high and steep mountains.Among them, Li Bai, a poet of the Tang Dynasty, had a poem that said: "The road to Shu is difficult, and it is difficult to go to the blue sky."

If Ma Chao included Xiliang and Tianshui under his rule, he would instead lengthen his defense line and create an empty situation everywhere.Therefore, under the advice of the two top counselors, Ma Chao simply gave up Tianshui and Xiliang to promote his reputation.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the plan of Ma Chao or Guo Jia and Xu Shu seems to be very successful.

The reason why Ye Mo felt that he would wait for the envoy from Xiliang during this period was also because of this plan of Guo Jia and Xu Shu.

If Xiliang sent envoys after the beginning of spring, it would be equivalent to Ma Chao declaring independence.Since ancient times, only the vassal states will come to Luoyang to congratulate after the beginning of the new year.

Guo Jia and Xu Shu not only want to win the land for Ma Chao, but also want to win the hearts of Ma Chao.The right time, the right place, and the right people, as long as the latter two are achieved, Ma Chao will be able to succeed when the time is right.

However, Ye Mo knew that if Ma Chao really had the advantage of the location and the harmony of people, the time would come at any time.

This winter is a warm winter.A mild winter means floods in the south and drought in the north next year.Following these two natural disasters, locust plagues will follow.If this is not handled well and too many people starve to death, the plague will become rampant.

If that's all, Ye Mo is not worried.After all, Huaxia has experienced thousands of years of civilization, and naturally has the wisdom to spend this time.

What I'm afraid of is that someone with good intentions is causing trouble.In that case, even if the big man can survive this time, his vitality will be severely damaged.

During this period of time, Ye Mo did not relax the monitoring of the foreign race.But the Xiongnu had the help of Liu Bei and Guan Yu to train troops, and their strength has skyrocketed.

"Xu Shu, you are really giving me a problem!" Thinking of this, Ye Mo immediately stood up and walked to the window.

"Dong dong dong!" At this moment, there was a knock on the door of Ye Mo's room.

When there was a knock on the door, Ye Mo and Ye San also looked at each other, and then Ye Mo pretended to be hoarse and asked, "Who is disturbing the old man's rest!"

When Cai Yan outside the door heard an old man's voice coming from inside, there was a look of surprise in his eyes. "Sorry, we knocked on the wrong door."

After finishing speaking, Cai Yan directly led the servant girl downstairs.

When Ye Mo inside the room heard the response from outside the door, his expression also changed slightly.Not only is Cai Yan familiar with Ye Mo's back, Ye Mo is also no stranger to Cai Yan's voice.

At this time, Cai Yan felt that his eyes were dazzled, and immediately stopped thinking about the two backs he saw before.

After walking out of the inn, Cai Yan also glanced at the street, and found that he had not been out for a long time, so he should relax.

However, when Cai Yan walked towards a nearby stall selling gadgets, out of the corner of his eye, he saw Dian Wei passing by.
