August 15, Mid-Autumn Festival. Pen ~ fun ~ Pavilion www.biquge.info Tang people have not had the Mid-Autumn Festival, this day in modern society, is very grand, at least this day in Taiwan, there are no moon cakes, so I also send a few grapefruit as gifts. If you have a little money, you can get the unit directly, and the so-called three bonuses refer to the Spring Festival, Dragon Boat Festival and Mid-Autumn Festival.

Although it is mentioned in it, August 15 is the Mid-Autumn Festival. It is also becoming popular to eat round cakes. But there was no holiday on this day. For the Tang people, it is not an important day. If you really want to have a holiday, you have to wait until the Song Dynasty. Before that, the Mid-Autumn Festival is to worship the moon.

Although there is no holiday, the moon worship is also an important ritual. It is said that in the Han Dynasty, preparations should be started early, fasting and bathing, cleaning the house, worshipping the moon, worshipping gods, and worshipping ancestors. Although there are some differences from modern times, there is one thing in common, they all pay attention to a family reunion.

'It's more important to eat mooncakes. Li Chen was lazily lying in the car, Yang Er was serving him, Yang Er put a piece of cut moon cake into his mouth, Li Chen bit it down and smashed his mouth, for him as a modern person, the biggest significance of the Mid-Autumn Festival is that there are moon cakes on the market to eat.

Before the crossing, he loved to eat moon cakes the most. I especially like the Taiwanese mung bean touch, the moon cake with mung bean paste inside.

This time it's the Mid-Autumn Festival again, and Li Chen has long ordered people to start making moon cakes. Before dawn, the dining room in the palace was preparing moon cakes. I had to drive out several cages early and prepare food for Li Chen to take on the road.

You didn't go to court today. Yang Er sighed, today is the fifteenth, as usual, there is Shuo Wangchao, but Li Chen also did not attend as usual, he was ready to hunt early.

The reason why it took so many days to set off is because there are a lot of things to prepare for hunting. Horses, bows, clothes, etc., and send people to the hunting ground to prepare first.

So after watching the drill for many days, it wasn't until August 15 that he was able to make the trip. Early in the morning, a group of people, many second-generation officials, rich second-generation or something, under his leadership, swaggered to the royal hunting ground. Several large steamers get moon cakes, all of which are prepared for them.

Go and ask if they like mooncakes or not, and if they want to improve anything. Li Chen pointed to a eunuch and said, "Sage, thunder, rain and dew are all Jun's grace, so you don't need to ask." They like it, they don't like it, they have to take it. ’

'Shout, it's quite a lot, it makes sense. Li Chen nodded and said, "I'll give you something." The eunuch, who had served him a few days ago, had a happy face, although he despised the emperor, but who didn't like rewards.

After a while, a man flew out of the carriage screaming, but fortunately the car was not fast, and when he flew out, he rolled a few times, but he was not injured, but he was immediately stepped on by the cavalry accompanying him, and he screamed in pain.

'Let you go, and you go, so much to say. Li Chen slowly lay back in the car, not taking the person who had just kicked out of the car seriously, as if he had just moved his feet. Pointing to the other eunuch, he said, 'Go and ask.' The eunuch immediately got out of the car by himself and went to the second generation to ask what he thought about the moon cakes.

'Gone far?' Yang Er probe, immediately took it back, nodded, "How much money did you collect this time?" "It's not much, it's probably more than 100,000 times long. Hearing this, Li Chen nodded, "These are pretty much the same." But it was Li Chen who followed him on the tour this time to get a quota, and asked Fu Bodai Su to come forward and sell the quota, ranging from 1,000 to 5,000.

Fu Bo thought that he was the housekeeper of the country's family, and he could accompany him. 5,000 is guaranteed to be able to see the driver. Places are limited.

As a result, of course, it caused a scramble, and within a few days, he got a huge sum of more than 100,000 yuan. Of course, Fu Bo didn't take this money alone, but he gave half of it to Ma. Yuan Zhen, ask him to help no matter what, this matter is said to be hidden from the Son of Heaven.

'These gang of Hu businessmen really have a way to make money. ', Ma. Yuan Zhen received this huge amount of money, and said that it was good, and the people followed the horses. Yuan Wu praised that these gang of Hu businessmen are really good at making money. is bold enough, and dares to make this kind of money.

But that's with him. Yuan Zhen has nothing to do with it, he collected the money and arranged for those few to pay 5,000 yuan, the son of the fat sheep, wrong, the son of the rich merchant just gave it to Li Chen, anyway, when the time comes, it will be exposed, and it will not be him.

'Little Tiger, are they alright?' Li Chen asked, in the past few days, he has watched the drill for several days in a row, and he has a general understanding of the tactics of the Tang Dynasty army, and then he also saw several familiar people.

Before that, he didn't know that the mobility of the Tang army was so high. Not to mention the cavalry, even the infantry had carriages to ride.

The army of the Tang Dynasty was on horseback. The cavalry rode horses, and the infantry still had carriages to ride, and they went directly to the battlefield before getting off the carriages and arraying. Of course, this is just a drill, this kind of extravagant marching has not appeared for many years, that is, in the early Tang Dynasty, when the nomads outside the fortress were defeated, there was only such a thing.

Now that the Tang Dynasty is in place, it would be good to be able to maintain cavalry. A large number of horse farms are no longer in Tang Ting's hands. It was often sustained by the tea and horse trade. Or that the nomads exchange war horses for silk, or more correctly, blackmail..., a bad horse will exchange you for forty pieces of silk.

In this case, it has long been unable to maintain such a luxurious march, and besides, now the Shence Army has fundamentally degenerated from the original elite border army to the old soldiers of the central government. Even Chang'an will not go too far, let alone fight. Wars are fought by local feudal towns, and the central government can pay for it.

And the most fundamental reason is that there are not so many places that need carriages. If you don't obey the feudal town, you can use it. Foreign? The last time the Uighurs were destroyed, it can be said that the Uighurs themselves came to the door of the Tang Dynasty and died.

After the decline of the Uighurs, they were broken by the original subordinates, the Huangs, and the rest fled to the vicinity of the Tang Dynasty, refusing to accept their fate, and daring to come to the Tang Dynasty for trouble, plundering the people, and threatening the Tang Dynasty, before they were destroyed by the Daxing Emperor. It's not about going out of the jam to trouble them at all.

Therefore, there is no need for carriages to transport foot soldiers. The mode of carriage carrying foot soldiers can only be seen in the occasional drills of the Shence Army.

'Little Tiger they are fine, you don't have to worry. That knew the soldiers and horses, almost lost his official position, Fu Bo took the opportunity to buy him and prepared a lot of property for him, otherwise he would have resigned from his official position a long time ago, Xiaohu's identity, he didn't know. Yang Er explained.

But in the past few days, he has been running to the left Shence army to watch the drill. found Xiaohu and several children he adopted, mixed into the Zuo Shence army, and served as the team leader. Although it has long been known that Fu Bo they are plotting how to take control of the Shence Army from the horse. Yuan Zhen snatched it in his hand, but when he saw it suddenly, he would inevitably be worried and ask a few questions.

'My cheap uncle's. Uncle Cheap, it is Zheng Guang who was appointed as the envoy of the Pinglu Festival, and his mother has a younger brother, which can be regarded as a person who has ascended to heaven.

A letter came that Uncle Zheng Guo had arrived half a month ago. The pro-army is also in the process of reorganization. Uncle Guo promised that he would never make a mistake. Yang Er said.

The original plan was to infiltrate the Shence Army and try to control the military power, and it would be useless without military power. However, to control military power, you don't have to start with the old ones, you can also practice new ones.

The combination of these two methods is that Xiaohu and the others managed to join the Shence Army, and they were in good health to become the leader of the team, and their health was almost like a prisoner, and they managed to grasp more military power, and they also trained their own army by the way.

However, it is best not to put all your eggs in the same basket. It just so happened that Zheng Guang ascended to heaven because of the chicken dog and was taken by the horse. Yuan Zhen was named the envoy of the Pinglu Jiedu, so he used it by the way, and used his power to make the Pinglu Jiedu envoy to train a Li Chen's pro-army.

Although Chang'an and Pinglu are one east and one west, if something urgent happens, it will not be useful. However, Zheng Guang can be trusted with his mother's family, and he will be both prosperous and loss-oriented. There is such an opportunity, it is a pity not to take advantage of it.

Although far water can't save a near fire, as long as it is predicted in advance, it is not an emergency. It's not that it's useless.

'Everyone. At this time, the curtain of the carriage was lifted, revealing the horses. Yuan Zhen's old face, he smiled and asked, "Those casual people like that kind of moon cakes very much, and they are all full of praise." Even the old slave wanted to eat a few more pieces. ’

'Come, come, come, use. Send a few more boxes to Grandpa Ma. Li Chen greeted Yang Er and gave Ma all the mooncakes prepared for his car. Yuan Zhen also ordered to send a few more boxes.

As for the others, let them go to the Kokujo store and buy them. Li Chen put on a face, all of which were the expression of the national ruler.

'Oh, this countryman, the business is really big, and it has the weather of Lu Buwei back then. Then everyone continues to rest, the old slave still has things to arrange. ', Ma. Yuan Zhen praised it, and when he saw that there was nothing wrong with **** Chen, he made an excuse and left.

Lu Buwei, isn't he Qin Yiren? I really don't want to sow discord at any time. Li Chen listened with a smile and heard the horse. Yuan Zhen wanted to leave, but he warmly kept him and got in the car to sit. See Horses. Yuan Zhen repeatedly excused himself before reluctantly letting him go.

Is he getting more and more worried about me? Li Chen asked, "Probably not." Yang Er thought for a moment and said, "It should just be based on vigilance and come and see it in person." At this time, another voice came from outside the curtain, and the two stopped talking for a while.

Just now his companion was kicked out of the car, and the eunuch who was well-behaved and survived climbed into the car panting, and returned to the question that Li Chen sent him out to ask just now. But it's basically some nonsense, the so-called thunder, rain and dew are all Jun'en, not to talk about it.

Knowing that the emperor asked people to ask if the things he had rewarded were delicious, that fool would say his thoughts so bluntly? It's not full of praise, full of good words.

Anyway, Li Chen didn't really want to know, he just wanted to separate people, and to his answer, um Ah Ah had to respond a few times, and then continued to flirt with Yang Er.

And the carriage is half gone, the distant mountains are in sight, and their group has their destination, and Beiyuan is almost there. (To be continued.) )
