Chapter 248: A Great Change
Time flies, and it's June in the blink of an eye. ( . . )←,
Today is the celebration of the 100th anniversary of Xiao Wang Xi, Hexi Wenwu went to the 'Jiaqing Palace' to congratulate, Wang Xu set up a banquet, invited everyone to eat, in order to truly achieve the effect of celebration, Wang Xu let the Academy of Science and Technology make 500 firecrackers.
Although there are a little few firecrackers, but there is no way, saltpeter is out of stock, until now, still not found, and the saltpeter found from those pharmacies can only be used as firecrackers.
"Little Wang Xi, come to my uncle." Zhang Meng picked up the little guy from Zhang Xue's arms and kissed him fiercely, his face full of spoiling.
Wang Xu smiled on the side: "Zhang Meng, you take it lightly, don't hurt Xiaoxi." ”
Zhang Meng said: "Lord, I'm light enough, it's okay, I can't hurt it." ”
Wang Xulai, Zhang Meng really likes Wang Xi.
Not long after, the civil and military forces of Hexi County came, and everyone had smiles on their faces, but Wang Xu knew that none of these people really liked Wang Xi, especially Jia Hui, who was thinking about finding a few more wives and concubines for Wang Xu all day long, and then spread the branches.
Wang Xu understands everyone's mood very well, but Wang Xu just can't do it, if he finds another one, he always feels sorry for Zhang Xue, maybe this is a real modern concept.
In fact, on this continent, it is normal for a man to have three wives and four concubines, just like Han Shushu, that kid just took the little woman on the edge of Anlan City, and in less than two months, he found a concubine named Xiao Taohong in the brothel of Wangcheng, Wang Xu was also speechless about this, this is the freedom of others.
When everyone arrived, Wang Xu immediately ordered people to start setting off firecrackers, which rang out for 500 times. The crowd was taken aback, many of them had never seen this thing before, and some of them were close to firecrackers, and they were screamed.
In fact, firecrackers are only the size of a thumb, so small can have this kind of power, if there is the size of a rice bowl. What is the effect? Everyone discussed this for a while, and Huang Quan personally used this thing, and he kept blowing nonsense at the banquet, and he was amazed by the civil and military affairs of Hexi County.
...............
After the banquet, Zhang Xue pulled Wang Xu into the room, and she looked very serious.
"Husband, you'd better find another one, I..." In the end, Zhang Xue's face was full of sadness. Something like it's difficult.
Wang Xu was puzzled, how could he let himself take a concubine, he really couldn't understand the people of this era, and even his wife persuaded him to take a concubine, which was really ridiculous.
"You're not sick, are you, you mean to let me take a concubine?"
Zhang Xue slowly took Wang Xu's hand, took a deep breath and said, "If you don't take a concubine again, I will soon become the enemy of Hexi County's civil and military forces." I know you're suspicious of my feelings, and I'm touched. However, I don't have any opinion on your concubine. ”
Wang Xu smiled bitterly: "I really don't understand you." ”
..........
Zhang Xue continued to persuade that she was moved by Jia Hui's words, and Jia Hui was the attention of Han calligraphy and painting; Overall. This matter was planned by Han Shushu, and if he wanted Wang Xu to take a concubine, he had to do so.
An hour later, Wang Xu compromised: "Okay, then take one." It's up to you. ”
Zhang Xue's little face was slightly angry, and she only accepted one after saying for a long time, she was also really angry, and her nature was instantly angry, and she returned to her previous straightforward nature, and immediately said resolutely: "No!" According to what Master Jia said, there are ten in each county, and there are more than 400 show girls in total! ”
Wang Xu fainted...
..............
The next day, the Great Hall.
Today's Hexi County has been completely transformed, and after the deliberation of the six ministries, plus the ruling of the Military Aircraft Department, all the soldiers and ministers have changed their armor and official uniforms, and the real unification has been implemented.
Civil officials, all the use of the Qing Dynasty costumes, robes and coats, all personnel wear like hats and small weft hats, according to the winter and summer seasons have warm hats and cool hats, but also depending on the grade of different colors.
For example, the officials of the six ministries wore red tops, which were quite majestic, and Jia Hui's added a red pearl on top of the red tops, which was extraordinary.
Compared with the Qing Dynasty, it is also a little different from the Qing Dynasty, people are determined by the number of dazzles on the hat, but Wang Xu is set by the number of pearls.
For example, officials below the sixth department, and above the fifth grade, all have black tops, and there is only one pearl, which is simple and unpretentious.
For example, the officials below the fifth grade, the county commander Wenyuan Pavilion consulted the doctor, etc., these people's tops were white, and their status was the lowest among the officials of Hexi County.
The above are all civilian officials, and the military generals have also changed a lot, this time Wang Xu did not use the Qing Dynasty anymore, and used the armor style of this era, but all of them were replaced with white, whether it was the helmet, clothes, pants, and armor itself, all of them were white, and even the military flag was white, and the entire military camp was like snow cloth.
Of course, the Yulin Army in Wang Cheng was very different, and Wang Xu gave them a special honor, and the color was all golden, which was the same as the golden clothes that Wang Xu was wearing now.
The main reason why so much financial resources are spent to demand uniform clothing is to unite the soldiers' minds, make them different from the imperial court, and let everyone know whose soldiers they are!
Wang Xu stepped onto the throne and everyone saluted.
Wang Xu said with a serious expression: "Today, this king announced that Zhang Xue will be canonized as the queen, do you have any opinions?" ”
Jia Hui seemed to have an opinion and was about to speak, but was stopped by Han calligraphy and painting.
"What are you pulling me for?"
"You let King Wen take a concubine, he is uncomfortable, you oppose him at this time, you are looking for death."
Jia Hui wiped the sweat on his forehead, and secretly said that Han calligraphy and painting were smart and wise, and his response was quick.
Seeing that no one objected, Wang Xu said: "This matter will be handled by the Ministry of Rites, the ceremony should be grand, and the pomp should be big!" There must be no sloppiness. ”
Ai Song, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, came out and said: "Obey! ”
Huang Quan was wearing court clothes, holding a piece of music in his hand, and saluted: "Lord, Zhao Long sent a military report, the Malan army stationed in the Western Capital has been reinforced by the imperial court, and there are more than 200,000 troops, all of which are elite soldiers. ”
"Five days ago, about 50,000 sailors were stationed along the river in Guxi County, and they were stepping up training, which seemed to mean to look west."
As soon as Huang Quan's words fell, the generals in the hall were excited, and they all asked for battle, they had been training soldiers for half a year now, and they had long wanted to fight across the river, and the news of the enemy's attack was not bad news for them, but a great opportunity.
"Lord, the last general is going to fight!"
"Lord, you ordered, we will kill it..."
...........
The current Hexi County can be described as a strong ice gun, and Wang Xu also wants to fight, but he shook his head helplessly, waved his hand and said: "Okay, don't get excited, can you fight a water war?" ”
One sentence made all the generals speechless, they fought bravely on land, but when it comes to water warfare, no one can do it, and they have to rely on the three brothers Zhao Long at the critical moment.
At this time, everyone couldn't help but start to envy Zhao Long, Zhao Long's navy has always been at the forefront, there is a battle to fight at any time, and it is a matter of time before he makes meritorious contributions. (To be continued.) )
