Chapter 46: Carnival Lantern Festival Night (Recommended Addition)
Tang Xun is also a down-to-earth person who does practical things, and does not say empty words: "Your Majesty, now that the coke has eyebrows, in a few days, the best steel will come out." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½ā
Lu Chengqi nodded and said, "After the steel comes out, the guns may not be able to be made." Tang Qing, you have to find some smart and studious people, and improve them while building. Well, yes, it's a bit harder for you to find someone. However, it will soon be spring, and we can recruit some talents. ā
This was at the award ceremony, and it was inconvenient for Lu Chengqi to talk to Tang Xun more, and after a few words of encouragement, Tang Xun stepped down. Lu Chengqi picked up the gold-plated horn again and said loudly: "All the awards of the Science and Technology Award have been famous, but this is only this year. Next year's Lantern Festival, I will still be here, for four of you, awards and official bodies! Now, I announce that the curfew will be lifted tonight, and I will rejoice with the people! ā
"Long live Your Majesty!"
"Long live the emperor!"
"Long live Dashun!"
ā¦ā¦
The people shouted spontaneously, Xu Chongguang watched from the sidelines, and had to admire Lu Chengqi's showmanship, which directly brushed his personal prestige to another peak. What Xu Chongguang didn't know was that speaking in public was the most effective means of winning people's hearts. As long as the script is good enough and the words are inciting, you will definitely be able to pull back a large group of people who are dead set on following you. Didn't the United States elect its president in the future by relying on this trick?
The Lantern Festival of the Dashun Dynasty is also the same as the Song Dynasty, which is very lively. In fact, as long as it is a festival, Chang'an City is quite lively. And the Lantern Festival is a special festival. This festival, known as the Chinese Valentine's Day, is mainly because there is a custom of the Lantern Festival, called the Lantern Festival. The Lantern Festival is just an opportunity to socialize, and unmarried men and women can also find objects for themselves by viewing the lanterns. The willow tops on the moon, people about after dusk. "It's about the Lantern Festival, where young men and women know each other.
Hundreds of people surrounded Lu Chengqi, secretly I don't know how many people are secretly protecting, Lu Chengqi feels a little uncomfortable. When he met some young girls, he didn't dare to look at him directly, which greatly reduced the fun of traveling. Lu Chengqi said in his heart: "If you knew earlier, you shouldn't show your identity, as an emperor, sometimes you are really powerless!" ā
Even so, Lu Chengqi still felt the liveliness of the ancient Lantern Festival, faintly surpassing the Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and even the Spring Festival. The customs of Dashun are no different from those of the Song Dynasty in history. The biggest activity is to put off the lanterns, and it will be five nights. On the Feng River, for five consecutive nights, full of lanterns. And the allusion "only the state officials are allowed to set fires, and the people are not allowed to light lamps" comes from here. The official name of a state, Tian Deng, does not allow people to call him by his name, and sets the "lamp" with the same sound as his name "Deng" as a sensitive word, and asks others to call "lamp" as "fire", and if anyone is offended, they must be invited to tea. The whole state celebrates the Lantern Festival throughout the year, and the lanterns are displayed as usual. When the government put up notices, it used the word "lamp" and wrote "Honshu set fire for three days according to the rules" on all notices, which became a big joke.
In addition to putting lanterns, there is also a highlight, that is, Ao Mountain. Ao Shan originally refers to the ancient legend that there is a giant tortoise on the sea carrying the sacred mountain, after the Lantern Festival imitates its shape, the countless colorful lanterns are set up for visitors to watch, so it is called Ao Mountain. Before the winter solstice, the town of Hubu Shangshulin had played a book, and he wanted to build Ao Mountain in front of the palace gate. Lu Chengqi refused to work for the people and lose money, but he delegated the privilege of Ao Mountain to the people. Which lantern shop has the highest bidding price can win the sole right to build Ao Mountain, and can also indicate the name and location of the lantern shop on Ao Mountain. Lin Zhenzhong was shocked by Lu Chengqi's whimsy, and what he didn't expect was that the lantern shops in Chang'an City flocked to it, and the bidding price was as high as 1,000 yuan, and it was finally won by the largest lantern shop in Chang'an City, Ling Ji Lantern Shop, which became a good story. And Lu Chengqi's move directly added thousands of dollars to the national treasury, which is comparable to the annual income of 100 acres of fertile land. Lin Zhenzhong had to admire: "Your Majesty's ability to make money, Tao Zhugong can't match it!" ā
Lu Chengqi was surrounded by hundreds of people in the market, only to see the fire in front of him, many people cheered loudly, Lu Chengqi was interested, and asked, "What is that?" ā
Wang Yanchen said with a smile: "Your Majesty, that's folk juggling, called playing social fire." ā
Lu Chengqiqi said: "Juggling is juggling, why do you want to call it juggling?" ā
Xu Chongguang said with a smile on the side: "The so-called Shehuo is a folk sacrifice to the gods, asking God to bless the coming year with good weather and abundant grains." Worship to the gods is usually accompanied by fireworks, which are called shrines because they are related to the shrine. ā
Lu Chengqi suddenly realized, and scolded with a smile: "Wang Yanchen, you don't know what it is, you really don't know how to learn!" ā
Wang Yanchen touched his head and said with a sneer: "Born in the border army, where can he be as knowledgeable and talented as Xu Gelao?" I just know that this is called Shehuo, and that's good. ā
Lu Chengqi smiled: "It's a good one, that is, I want you to learn some words, and you don't want to learn it?" ā
Wang Yanchen said with a straight face: "The minister does not dare to disobey the holy will, and he learns every day." It's just that I'm stupid, and I've only learned more than 100 words so far......"
Xu Chongguang sighed: "If everyone in the world is so studious, the sage said that the world will be governed." ā
Lu Chengqi shook his head and said: "Human nature is selfish, and they can only be lured by profit, but they cannot be trusted. ā
Xu Chongguang just wanted to argue with him, but saw that some people next to him rushed to the front of the imperial guards, and said loudly: "Your Majesty, today is the Lantern Festival, can you drink a cup of Tusu wine from Xiaomin?" ā
Xu Chongguang originally wanted to say something, but he was choked up all of a sudden, and hurriedly grabbed Lu Chengqi and said, "Your Majesty, no!" ā
Lu Chengqi saw that the man was a middle-aged man with a simple face, with a sincere look in his eyes and a little expectation. He was carrying a bowl of wine and was stopped outside by the imperial guards. Lu Chengqi groaned, broke free from Xu Chongguang's pull, and said with a smile: "My people want to have a drink with me, why not?" However, what is the origin of this Tusu wine? ā
The middle-aged man smiled and said: "The small folk family passed down the medical skills, using rhubarb, bellflower, Shu pepper, atractylodes, cinnamon, aconitum, sarsaparilla and other herbs, soaked in wine to make this Tusu wine. Drinking this wine can dispel evil and promote righteousness, protect the liver and stomach, and warm the lungs. Xiaomin sincerely hopes that the emperor can be as strong as a tiger, lead the people of Dashun, and create a world together! ā
Lu Chengqi shouted: "Okay, I've drunk!" With that, a stride stepped forward, took the wine bowl, and drank it all. To put it bluntly, this wine is medicinal wine, and it is really not very good to say that it tastes good, but Lu Chengqi still tasted it carefully before handing the wine bowl back to the middle-aged man.
At this moment, the middle-aged man suddenly knelt down and cried: "Your Majesty, Xiaomin's family is all saved by you!" ā
Lu Chengqi exclaimed: "Hurry up, why is this so?" ā
The middle-aged man told his story with tears and snot, it turned out that he was one of the victims of the Yellow River floods, but fortunately, he had practiced medicine at home for generations and had a lot of savings, so he came to Chang'an City. When he was about to lose his life, Lu Chengqi suddenly thundered and severely punished the corrupt officials who embezzled the disaster relief officials' silver, and the middle-aged family's family was saved.
When Lu Chengqi heard this, he sighed and said to Xu Chongguang: "You and I are a benevolent government, and it is the people who benefit!" My Dashun people are the most industrious and kindest people in the world, they do not seek wealth and wealth, but food and clothing. If I can't even do this, I'll be a generation of emperors in vain. If anyone wants to do something bad for them, I will not be the first to spare them! ā
Hearing this, the surrounding people all bowed and said: "The emperor's wisdom is the blessing of all the people!" ā
Lu Chengqi was powerless in his heart: "Pinning the rule of officials on one person is the biggest drawback of the monarchy!" If my children and grandchildren are unscrupulous and become faint kings, what will I do? ā
For a while, looking at Li Min who was kneeling all over the ground, Lu Chengqi's eyes were filled with tears......
