In the Ministry of Rites, there is an undercurrent, and in Chang'an City, it is even more turbulent.

After the end of the parade, hundreds of people gathered together to talk about the grand occasion of the parade, and the majestic soldiers of the team have never forgotten!

"Watching this military parade, I have no regrets in my life!" Hundreds of people sighed.

There are also many literati and writers, full of passion, who want to write a poem, but find that it is difficult to describe its grand occasion even if it is a poor scripture; It is difficult for famous painters to paint a corner of it.

In the oral tradition, the wonderful links of the military parade are presented to the world one by one, and some people who have not been able to watch the military parade are full of regret, and missing this grand event is probably the biggest regret in their lives.

"At that time, I waited in front of the Suzaku Gate and passed by, shouting that the rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband! Your Majesty is on the Suzaku Gate and is watching us with his own eyes. Countless people who participated in the parade were all showing off to others.

"The rise and fall of the world is the responsibility of the husband, although we have a cloth cloth, we must also contribute to the world!"

The people proudly said that in this way, they would be worthy of the slogans they shouted and the promises they made under the Suzaku Gate.

"Why don't I go to the Red Cross to donate money! Do your part for the rise and fall of the world! A man in Tsing Yi suggested.

Immediately, there were countless responders, and the personal strength of ordinary people was naturally weak, but if personal money was accumulated bit by bit, and the Red Cross was used to do things that benefited the country and the people, I believe that they would definitely be able to make their own contributions.

Moreover, the Red Cross is presided over by Princess Changle and Empress Changsun, and its credibility can naturally be guaranteed, and in addition to several Datang disasters, the Red Cross has contributed a lot, played a pivotal role, and regularly disclosed its finances every month, which naturally won the trust of everyone.

All of a sudden, there were countless people who went to the Red Cross to donate money, those who had money and things, and many people signed up to serve as volunteers of the Red Cross to contribute as much as possible.

In the afternoon alone, the Red Cross Society in Chang'an City alone received more than 10,000 donations! This is a remarkable number, and it is believed that as the impact of this military parade continues to radiate outward, the donations of the people of Datang to the Red Cross will reach a higher record.

"Thanks to you this time!" In the Yuzhuangyuan Building, Princess Changle said with a happy face, when she learned the number of donations and the number of new volunteers, she couldn't help but glance at Merton gratefully, if it wasn't for Merton's military parade so successful, the Red Cross would not have ushered in explosive growth.

"Brother-in-law is amazing!" Princess Jinyang on the side said excitedly.

"Where! It is Changle who has done a good job of the Red Cross and won the trust of the people! Merton said modestly. Since Li Shimin's marriage, Merton and Princess Changle can finally walk in Chang'an City openly.

After the military parade, the two rarely have free time, and Merton naturally will not let go of this God-given opportunity, thinking that the two will get together in private.

Things are going very smoothly, Princess Changle successfully left the palace, but she is followed by Princess Jinyang, and the two of them have a good date, and having an oil bottle is simply a bad scenery.

Princess Changle said proudly: "That's natural, last time Shandong flooded, my Red Cross donated money and materials countless times, and it has an excellent reputation among the people." ”

Merton reminded: "However, we must do a good job of financial disclosure, and every donation must have a final destination, otherwise if there is a problem, not only will an organization that benefit the country and the people be damaged, but I am afraid it will also affect the reputation of the royal family." ”

He knew that the Red Cross in later generations was so problematic and credibility that Merton had been reborn for almost ten years because of its opaque accounting, so that it had not been restored for nearly ten years.

"What the ink sacrifice wine says is very true!" Before Princess Changle could answer, with a familiar voice, Li Chengqian pushed the door and entered, followed by Li Zhi and Li Tai.

"The Red Cross has many benefits, but it is also a double-edged sword! Of course, it can benefit the royal family, but a bad one can also damage the royal reputation. Li Chengqian analyzed.

Princess Changle nodded and said, "Big brother, don't worry, Changle will take care of it and will not do anything that damages the reputation of the royal family." ”

Princess Changle has already determined to emulate Princess Pingyang, so naturally she will not give up the Red Cross, an organization that benefits the country and the people.

Merton beckoned the three of them to sit down, feeling helpless for a while, he originally wanted to have a secret meeting with Princess Changle, but it turned out to be a public party, Princess Jinyang stuck to Changle's side, Li Chengqian and Li Tai consciously separated Merton, making it difficult for Merton and Changle to say a word.

Li Chengqian snorted coldly in his heart, the last time Modon entered the palace and spent a long time alone with Changle, he had already been dissatisfied, plus the last time Morton called him his brother-in-law, how could he easily let Merton go.

"Come on! Serving! Merton had no choice but to call out to everyone.

At this moment, the weather has gradually turned cold, and hot pot is once again prevalent in Chang'an City, and with plates of fresh beef and vegetables served, everyone can't help but appetize.

"Here, try this plate of spinach!" Merton picked up a plate of spinach and placed it in a steaming pan.

After a year of breeding, although the number of spinach is still small, it is no longer as urgent as last year, otherwise this large plate of green vegetables will definitely kill Su Linong.

"Brother-in-law, I want to eat beef!" Li Zhi opened his mouth and said.

Changle pinched Li Zhi's fat face hatefully and said, "Eat it again, just like your Qingque brother." ”

Li Tai suddenly smiled bitterly, his figure is still a little taboo to others, but for Changle, he is often teased!

Merton advised: "It's okay to eat some beef, as long as you exercise diligently, your health will be better, and the strong health of the herdsmen on the grassland has a lot to do with their eating more meat!" ”

"That's it!" Li Zhi retorted with a raised face.

Princess Changle said helplessly: "It's okay to eat, but you can't eat more!" ”

"Thank you, Sister Changle!" Li Zhi's small mouth was very sweet.

Plates of beef and mutton in the pot, everyone feasted, since the west expedition to Tuguhun, Datang suddenly had a large number of cattle and sheep, the entire Datang ban on cattle slaughter has almost existed in name only, beef in Chang'an City is no longer a strange thing.

"I heard that Brother Mo has witnessed the vicissitudes of life in Qinghai, and this king is compiling the "Chronicles of the Earth" on the orders of his father, I don't know if I can cut some love!" Li Tai suddenly leaned over and said.

"Vicissitudes?" Li Chengqian also put down his chopsticks with interest.

Merton looked at Li Tai and Li Chengqian playfully, and beckoned the three of them to sit down! At this time, the eldest grandson queen is still alive, the competition between the two is not obvious, they are brothers, the relationship is good, and there is no trace of the dragon and tiger fighting for favor and succession in history.

Merton explained: "It's just some shells, if King Wei likes it, just pick it up!" ”

Merton naturally knew that what Li Tai was talking about was the paleontological shells he collected in Shell Liang when he returned from the Western Expedition. There are many of these things in Qinghai, so naturally they are not very precious!

"So, in the middle of that vast desert, a few years ago it was an ocean!" After Li Zhi learned about it, he couldn't help but be shocked.

Li Tai on the side also had a flash of expression, if he opened his mouth to ask for those shells, I was afraid that Murong Shun would send Baba, and one of the reasons why he personally asked for it from Merton was to ask Merton about this question.

Merton nodded as a matter of course, "Of course, otherwise how did those shells come from?" ”

Everyone smacked their tongues, no one thought that the former sea had become the desert it is now, they had always heard about the vicissitudes of the sea, but they never thought that they could confirm it in person.

"Then Brother Mo, can you tell the truth in detail!" Li Tai asked for advice, if he can understand the truth of the vicissitudes of life, then his "Chronicles of the Universe" will have a qualitative change, and once it is written, it will naturally double its value.

Merton nodded, pointed to the hot pot in front of him and said, "Suppose this hot pot is the shell beam from a few years ago, and the vegetables and meat in it are aquatic plants and fish in the water." If I don't add more water to it, I'm sure these hot pot basins will be burned dry in no time. ”

Li Tai had a flash of inspiration, but he couldn't catch it, and he couldn't help scratching his ears and cheeks in a hurry.

"There is no water, a large number of fish shells have died, and some low-lying places have become salt lakes. Merton pointed to the bottom of the pot, where only a little soup remained.

Li Tai picked up the chopsticks and tasted a green vegetable, his mouth couldn't help but dry his salty mouth, but his heart suddenly brightened, and he was shocked: "Are you saying that the entire desert in Qinghai is the lake and sea of the past, and the desert of the past is also the lake and sea of the past, and the current salt lake is the only trace of the lake and the sea." ”

Merton glanced at Li Tai appreciatively and nodded, "Not bad!" ”

"But where does all that water go?" Princess Jinyang asked puzzled.

Merton did not answer, but asked, "Where does the water in our laundry go after it has been dried in the sun?" Where did the water in our hot pot pot go? ”

"You're saying the white smoke from this boiling water is water?" Li Tai came to an incredible conclusion that even he couldn't believe it.

Li Chengqian and the others immediately looked at each other, and the water could still be smoke.

"This is the evaporation studied by the Mohists, water has three forms, solid, liquid and gas, an ice cube will slowly melt when the weather warms up and turn into water, and when it boils hot, it becomes water vapor." Merton explained.

Merton explained it clearly, but everyone was as confused as water vapor.

"What if this hot water vapor encounters something cold?" Merton smiled mysteriously, reached out and picked up the cold iron tray, and put it on top of the boiling hot pot, and soon, all the bean water droplets were attached to the cold iron plate, Merton tilted slightly, and suddenly a series of water droplets fell like rain.

"Rain!" Li Tai suddenly stood up and looked at the scene in front of him in disbelief.

When Princess Jinyang on the side heard this, she innocently ran out of the window to look at the bright sunshine outside, and said puzzledly: "Brother Qingque, it's not raining outside at all!" The sun is good! ”

Li Tai was stunned, he didn't expect that there would be an unexpected harvest today, and he actually cracked the formation of rain.

"Congratulations to the fourth brother, this discovery of "Kuodi Chronicles" is enough to be famous in history!" Li Chengqian gradually understood the truth, and couldn't help but congratulate Li Tai.

Li Tai was also overjoyed, no one thought that the formation of rain would be so simple, this is a great discovery! It is enough to subvert the world's understanding of rain.

Before that, the world all think that the rain is controlled by the dragon king, every drought season will worship the dragon king and pray for rain, last year when the drought, Li Shimin in order to break the feudal superstition, personally beheaded the dragon king, and now here, everyone actually cracked the formation of the rain, that is not really confirmed Li Shimin killed the dragon king correctness.

"Little brother doesn't dare to take full credit, thank you brother-in-law for your advice!" Li Tai got up and said solemnly, and directly changed his name!

"Li Tai!" Princess Changle was ashamed and angry in her mouth, but her face was proud.

Merton smiled bitterly: "This is the essence of my Mo family's secret brewing technique, that is, I don't say it, I believe that with the wisdom of King Wei, it will not take long to crack it." ”

"Brewing Secrets!" Li Chengqian looked at the water droplets that kept dripping, and couldn't help but suddenly realize that the famous wine to relieve thousands of sorrows was actually refined in this way.

After hearing Li Chengqian's explanation, everyone understood the truth, and couldn't help but look at Merton with strange eyes.

"Could it be that the secret technique of winemaking is also the secret technique of Mozi!" Li Zhi asked excitedly. No one is not curious about the endless secret techniques of Mozi's secret works.

Merton shook his head and said: "Of course not, if everything had relied on Mozi's secrets, I would have been sitting on the mountain for a long time, in fact, speaking of which, the inspiration for the secret technique of brewing still comes from the oil pot I uncovered before." ”

"Wash your hands in a frying pan?" Everyone thought about it for a long time before they remembered this incident, which was also a matter of breaking feudal superstitions at that time.

"The reason for washing hands in the oil pot is that the vinegar in the oil pot first boils and evaporates, and finally only oil remains, so I had a whim, using this method to distill the liquor, if the final steamed out is water, then the rest is wine, if the steamed out is wine, just collect it, then it is naturally a very pure wine." Merton explained.

Everyone suddenly understood the cause and effect, from washing hands in the oil pot, to brewing secrets, to cracking the secret of rain, all of them are interlocking, which is really exciting.

"Touch the analogy, draw inferences!" Li Tai couldn't help but think thoughtfully.

"Brother-in-law is amazing!" Princess Jinyang and Li Zhi couldn't help but cheer.

Princess Changle couldn't help but show a look of admiration, which made Li Chengqian on the side snort.

After eating, Li Tai, who had obtained the treasure, left in a hurry, and Merton took Princess Changle and everyone to the West Market.

There are countless envoys to the Tang Dynasty who came to the military parade, and at the same time, there are countless Hu businessmen accompanying them, and the West Market is exceptionally prosperous, plus the people came to Chang'an City to watch the military parade, these are all valuable people, and they will naturally not let go of the opportunity to loot exotic products.
