For an agrarian society, there is nothing more important than the beginning of spring.

In fact, until the industrial age, various dynasties in China regarded the beginning of spring as a very important festival, and the Tang Dynasty naturally attached great importance to it. Every day, up to the Chang'an Palace, down to all states and counties, a grand celebration ceremony is held.

On the day of the beginning of spring, it is necessary to sacrifice spring, whip spring, decorate spring and bite spring.

Among them, among the three levels of rituals in the Tang Dynasty, the big ritual, the middle ritual, and the small ritual, the spring sacrifice is a proper big ritual!

On this day, the official will host a huge scene of sacrificial activities, such as Chang'an City, "every year on the day of the beginning of spring, worship the Qing Emperor in the eastern suburbs", not only civil and military officials, the emperor also has to personally participate......

Chang'an is like this, and all states and counties are naturally no exception.

As the highest local governor of Luzhou, it is naturally impossible for Li Yuanjia not to attend such an important occasion, not only to preside over the spring ceremony, but also to personally wave the whip to whip the spring. And it was precisely because he had known this for a long time, so when Chen Lin came to the door, Li Yuanjia would have such a headache!

I'm not afraid to show my face in front of people or anything, Li Yuanjia wasn't afraid of big scenes when he was a doctor, and he didn't have a dry throat when he made a report in a venue of hundreds of people, not to mention that he was still a prince now?

But the sacrificial spring or something has to be recited, how to do this?

Although Li Yuanjia's current ancient literary skills are not very good after fusing his memory, he is definitely not bad, but he really hasn't written this thing!

So after greeting with Luzhou, after Chen Lin explained his intentions, Li Yuanjia immediately nodded, and said sincerely, "The plan for one day is only in Yin, and the plan for a year is only in spring, and it is indeed sloppy." As the assassin of a state, I am naturally responsible for this matter, and Chen Beijia can rest assured. It's just ......"

When he said this, Li Yuanjia's tone paused.

However, when he raised his eyes and looked at the other side, he wanted to wait for the other party to take the initiative to ask, but he found that Luzhou Beijia was staring wide at this time, and he was in a daze!

Blinking, Li Yuanjia was slightly dazed.

According to the routine that everyone is used to, shouldn't Chen Lin open her mouth and ask "but what" at this time? Then Li Yuanjia could sigh, and on the grounds of being young and inexperienced, he pushed the matter of writing the sacrificial words to this Luzhou don't fight, and asked him to help write one. But now the question is, why did this Chen Beijia suddenly initiate a flute?

"The plan of a year is only in spring, and the plan of one day is only in the ......"

"I can't shirk my responsibility......"

When Li Yuanjia's body couldn't help but lean forward, and then vaguely heard the words that Chen Lin whispered, his face couldn't help but change instantly!

Broken!

Just now, Sun Peng was still remembering this ancient saying, and he blurted out not the slightly white words of "the plan of the year lies in the spring, and the plan of the day lies in the morning", but now when he saw Chen Lin's shocked and inexplicable appearance, he instantly knew that he was making trouble!

No one has said these words yet?

And the idiom of "unshirkable responsibility" has not come out?

Sure enough, before Li Yuanjia could open his mouth to explain something, Chen Lin had already patted his thigh and stood up suddenly: "Wang, you said this sentence too well!" The plan of the year lies only in the spring ...... It is simply a sentence that exhausts the essence of the festival of the beginning of spring! Regardless of whether the imperial court or we are waiting for us, isn't it just to remind everyone to hurry up and prepare for spring plowing and sowing on the day of the beginning of spring? It is only through the hard work during this period that there will be a bumper harvest ......"

Looking at Chen Lin's excited face, the corners of Li Yuanjia's mouth twitched and did not speak.

In essence, what Chen Lin said is indeed true.

The majestic spring festival may have many meanings, but the most important thing is to announce to the world that the day of spring ploughing is coming. The same is true of Whip Chun, who made a cow out of clay, and the emperor ...... Or whether it is the history of thorns or the county order, take the whip and whip it three times, which means spurring the ploughing oxen to work in the field, ploughing the land in the spring, and seeking smooth wind and rain and a bumper harvest of grains. The native cattle that have been whipped in spring must also be kept for seven days, in order to let more farmers see it, and remind all farmers to hurry up and get out of the field!

As for the ornamental spring that says "people wear spring sheng, and the house hangs spring flags", as well as the "five new" bite spring such as eating onions, garlic, and leeks, in fact, the real purpose is just a reminder.

Because this year, the festival of Lichun is calculated by a special person, and then announced to the world in the name of the imperial court. And without television, radio, and the Internet, it is impossible for a state to notify the existence of a village with so many civil servants who eat imperial grain, so this kind of large-scale activity can only be held to notify those farmers who are closed off from information......

It's just that Li Yuanjia doesn't know whether the old fritter in front of him is really excited, or if he is doing it for him.

But whether it's because of what you said just now, anyway, since you are so excited, Li Yuanjia, who is the history of assassination, is not polite, and nodded and said, "That's right!" So next, please don't fight Chen, but don't let this king down! ”

"Please? What do I please? ”

"Hehe, of course it's the sacrificial words of the beginning of spring!"

Looking at Chen Lin, who looked confused, Li Yuanjia blinked his eyes and said with a smile.

And after hearing Li Yuanjia say this, Chen Lin's expression became more and more dazed: "Sacrifice words? Isn't that all already written? When the time comes, the king will just read it! ”

“……”

Under Chen Lin's blank gaze, Li Yuanjia rolled his eyes and was embarrassed.

After asking the other party to bring the sacrificial text over as soon as possible to familiarize himself with it, Li Yuanjia politely began to drive away the guests. And after Chen Lin said goodbye and left, Li Yuanjia hurriedly asked Han Shan to call over: "Old Han, it will be the beginning of spring in a few days, how is the preparation of the house?" ”

"Don't worry, the king, everything is in order!"

With a confident face, Han Shan immediately said: "After reporting to you last time, we have already arranged for the demand at that time, and our three Zhuangzi have also been notified, and they will definitely not miss the agricultural time......"

"What? Have you reported me? ”

"Huh? Yes, just ten days ago, you were writing in your study...... Ahem! ”

Seeing his own king's dazed look, Han Shan hurriedly took back his words - he knew that Li Yuanjia was afraid that he was confused again. Or he didn't listen to it at all when he reported it at that time, and said that he would let him watch what he was doing, which was probably just his unconscious words.

But if you understand it, Han Shan doesn't dare to say it.

Of course, Li Yuanjia was stunned for a moment, and quickly guessed what was going on, and smiled slightly awkwardly: "So good, so good......"

Han Shan was secretly a little funny in his stomach, but he didn't dare to show half a point on his face, but said with a straight face: "There is still something to report to the king, there is not enough farm tools in our three villages, can you let Chen Mu and them help make some?" ”

As soon as he heard this, Li Yuanjia understood what Han Shan meant, and continued to be embarrassed: "Chen Mu? Okay, let them stop the rest of their work and make farm tools! ”

Now Chen Mu and they are busy every day, aren't they just Li Yuanjia's gadgets?

Therefore, it makes sense that ancient people scolded "strange lewd skills" or something every day. After all, productivity has been extremely low these years, and Li Yuanjia has to work hard to make a thousand catties of iron. And because most people can't read a word, it is not easy to train a carpenter and a blacksmith, if you let them study something new every day, who will make farm tools and build weapons?

"Huh?"

At this time, Li Yuanjia was suddenly stunned.

Tools?
