Chapter 60: Six Wedding Rites
"Village chief, is everything said in the notice true? The salary is so high, it's dozens of times that of before, right?" asked a young man in his early twenties with a look of uncertainty on his face, unable to believe that all this was true.
"Of course it's true, this is His Majesty's personal will, don't worry. The village chief was only happy to say that he had known the news when he was in a meeting in the town, and he would bring it if he didn't believe it.
"That's... That farm is only 30,000 acres, how can this be enough, can't it be bought from outside in the future?" another young man with more knowledge wondered.
"These are not things you should worry about, the above are very clear, I heard that it is to plant a new type of crop, the yield per mu can reach 2500 kilograms, can be planted for four seasons a year, do you say enough to eat?" The village chief was a little unconfident when he said this.
After all, it's a bit of a fantasy, but the mayor above has already had a meeting with them, conveying the spirit of His Majesty the Emperor, and I think those big people have approved it, so there should be no problem.
He had been to Honglu Island, where the house was one floor a day, and there was an artifact that could talk to people thousands of miles away, something like a mobile phone, and it was said that this thing could be bought in New Tang in the future.
Since these incredible things really exist, then the grain with a yield of 2,500 kilograms per mu may not exist.
"That's sure to be enough, hehe. The young man who had asked before smiled shyly.
The village chief continued: "Your Majesty's grace, in the future, for the convenience of work and to improve our current living environment, we will build small villa areas around farms, pastures, medicinal material bases, etc., so that every family can live in a modern house, and the house price will only be charged at cost and slowly deducted from the salary in the future." ”
"What is a villa, village chief?" asked someone below.
"Ahem, this, it must be a good thing, Your Majesty will not treat everyone badly, just rest assured, I still have something to deal with, you all disperse." The village chief felt like he was talking too much.
He just heard the mayor say this, but in fact, he didn't figure out the doorway now, how to answer the people below, so he had to leave with an excuse.
This is actually Li Quan's idea, he himself is doing well, and he definitely can't see others living a hard life, let alone his people.
The so-called villa area, which is somewhat different from China and even the world, will be an ancient style manor structure, each household is a miniature manor, but the inside of the house has been modernized and improved, but there is no difference from the outside.
Chang'an City, including LT County, LX County three cities will also undergo large-scale comprehensive modernization, the outside still retains the antique appearance, the inside is indeed going to be greatly changed.
Then, each town will have a central urban area, which may be canceled in the following villages, but ecological communities built around farms, pastures, and medicine gardens, and all other places will be greened, which is what Li Quan's garden ecological city looks like.
As for the problem of transportation, a complete traffic pipeline will be established underground, which will not only facilitate transportation, but also prepare in advance for future intelligent transportation, disaster relief, etc.
Once these are completed, the entire Chang'an Island will become a modern ecological city without roads, and I believe it is also unique in the world.
...............
Time flies, white clouds and dogs.
There is another week to be the Spring Festival, there is only the Spring Festival in the New Tang Dynasty, and there is no New Year's Day, and the annual update of the system's reputation value is also the day of the Spring Festival, so in another week, Li Quan's reputation value will be recalculated, and the previous reputation value will be classified as the cumulative reputation value.
Of course, the accumulated prestige value can be consumed in the same way, just because everyone's popularity will vary due to changes in the world, maybe this year is a superstar, and in a few years it will be an eighteenth-tier star, so there will be such a calculation.
And today is the big day of New Tang Dynasty, but also the big day of Li Quan, one of the four happy events in life, the night of candles in the cave room, today is the day of his marriage, so the whole New Tang Dynasty is particularly lively and festive, and even Honglu Island is rarely stopped for a day.
Universal celebration.
Although the wedding of the New Tang Dynasty has undergone some changes in the process of several dynasties and modernization, it must also abide by the "six rites" agreed in the "Book of Rites".
That is, Nacai, asking for names, Najib, Nazheng, announcing the date, and welcoming in person.
It's just that the time is no longer as long as in ancient times, and every step has been simplified, but Li Quan still feels that it is very cumbersome, but he can only be patient.
Nacai refers to the man in the month before the marriage, the wedding date in advance to notify the woman's family, called the day, the man will give the woman colored cloth, clothes to the woman's home, called dowry, at the same time please a blessed woman with both children, for the girl to tailor, called open scissors, of course, now the time has been adjusted, only need to be ten days in advance.
Asking for a name means that the man sends a matchmaker to the woman's house to ask for the woman's name, birthday, and after retrieving the Geng sticker, Bu Ji is eight characters.
Najib refers to the man's name, after the eight characters, the auspicious sign of the marriage will be notified to the woman, and the gift to express the etiquette of engagement, in ancient times, Najib also had to perform the memorial ceremony, the ancients for both men and women of the birth of the eight characters requirements are very strict.
Although it is much better now, and even Li Quan himself does not believe in this superstitious thing at all, but this is a tradition, and he still has to follow it, and he does not plan to change it, because sometimes it is interesting to think about it, and these seemingly traditional and cumbersome etiquette are precisely the roots of this nation.
Na Zheng, everyone should know, is the so-called bride price, this is not only ordinary people have to do this, even the king is not exempt from vulgarity, Li Quan had a headache for several days for this bride price.
In the end, in addition to the normal gold and silver treasures, Li Quan also prepared a big gift for Zhang Xian's family very intimately, all of which were directly exchanged in the system, absolutely good things, including Yunmengxian tea that has been circulating in the world's upper class society since then.
Yunmengxian tea has a very good health effect, I hope it will help Zhang Xian's body, this is a good thing, although it is not so mysterious, but drinking it for a long time can strengthen the body and prolong life, at least his father Li Tang is now tea in his hand.
The notice date is that the two parties discuss and set the marriage date, of course, they are all handled by the Ministry of Rites, which is also trouble-free.
This last step is to welcome, and that is today.
Today's wedding is broadcast live around the world, but the bride is covered with a red hijab, and no one knows what it looks like, so Li Quan directly posted photos of the bride wearing an ancient wedding dress and a photo of herself wearing a wedding dress on Twitter and Weibo.
And noted: "Queen of the New Tang Dynasty, I guarantee that there is no P picture." ”
