Volume 1 Who Breaks the Void by the Stars Chapter 115 Shinu Yamato City Competition
The sixth day of the sixth month of the second year of Datang Tianbao finally arrived.
Guanzhong has been dry for more than two months, and if it doesn't rain again, there will be big problems with the autumn harvest this year. Even if we don't mention the autumn harvest, it is already difficult to say that there are millions of people in Chang'an City and a large number of livestock drinking water.
There are already many wells in Chang'an City that have dried up, and they have to temporarily ask people to dig deeper.
Many people associate this incident with Han Chaozong's canal and Wei Jian's canal, and think that they must have alarmed the Dragon King and caused a great drought in Guanzhong.
However, this kind of nonsense can only be passed on by word of mouth in the market, and no one dares to say it in front of Li Longji, after all, some time ago, Li Longji also climbed the Wangchun Tower with great interest and watched the results of Wei Jian's work with his own eyes.
It is said that Wei Jian may even be promoted because of this, and he will be further approaching the phase.
Therefore, the people in Chang'an City ostensibly pinned their hopes on the city competition on the sixth day of the sixth month of June.
There are not many city competitions in Chang'an City, and every time it is carried out, it is very lively, and tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people flock to watch, so it is also called "Scholars and Women's Yamato". And this city competition, in addition to the competition for the market in the glass industry, there is also an important role, which is to ask the dragon kings of all parties for rain.
Early in the morning, as soon as the morning bell rang, Ye Chang came out of the hostel and rushed to the intersection of the cross streets between Zhuque Street and Yanxing and Yanpingmen.
"Why didn't we live in the city so early?" Yawning Shanzhi muttered
"Wait for someone." Ye Changdao.
Because they had to be in a hurry today, the two of them entered the city yesterday, and Ye Chang sneakily didn't know what to do. Although Shanzhi saw that he had sent a few rangers around, he didn't understand what he meant.
But soon, Shanzhi knew who Ye Chang was waiting for.
The little insect girl only took a few Taoist aunts, wearing the summer dress that Ye Chang had prepared for her this year, smiling and smiling, and met him at the intersection of Guangdefang and Xishi.
The little girl was very excited, chattering and talking, the monk heard all the chicken fur things, and she was impatient for a long time, but Ye Chang kept listening with a smile, and nodded and shook her head from time to time, sometimes showing a look of surprise or joy.
It can be seen that he is not pretending, but really likes to listen to the little girl mention these little things to him.
"You stayed in Guangdefang last night? That's right, you should also live in Guangdefang, Sun Zhenren lived in Guangdefang at the beginning. I saved some money last year, and I am going to buy this old mansion and build a medicine king temple, so that you can live here directly in the capital after you come, and you won't have to go to the messy place of the reverse journey......"
After the little girl muttered for a long time, she suddenly said something that made Shanzhi stunned.
What does this mean, the little girl wants to buy a house and build a view to send Ye Shiyi? Why didn't any little nun buy a house and build a temple for herself, she clearly looked more powerful and majestic than Ye Shiyi!
The monk felt a little sad and indignant in his heart.
Ye Chang has a trace of warmth in his heart, this little girl, from the cold and brutal when she first met, to now knowing that she cares about others, it really gives him a sense of accomplishment.
Legend has it that he dreamed of immortals, and met the medicine king Sun Simiao, Luo Shouyi, who covered the Pushan medicine king's view, and once wanted to recognize him as his uncle, but it was only because he consciously insisted that he became Luo Shouyi's lay disciple.
"Why don't you speak?" Seeing that Ye Chang didn't respond, the insect girl asked in surprise.
"I was so moved, so I didn't know what to say for a while," Ye Chang said ......with a smile.
"Really?" The insect mother was overjoyed, and the loss of Fang Cai turned into joy at this moment.
"Nature is real......"
The two chatted while walking, and if there was no one around, Shi Shanzhi, who was following, really couldn't stand it, and said sadly and angrily: "Ye Shiyi, you want to go to Chaotian Street like this?"
"What's so bad about walking like this?" The insect girl was not satisfied, she talked to Ye Chang, when will it be the turn of this stinky monk to interject!
"He has nothing to do with the old man, but you are a delicate little lady, don't you get tired of walking?"
"I'm not tired, I want you to take care of it!" The insect lady gave him a fierce look.
Ye Chang laughed, and Shi Shanzhi was full of grief and indignation.
But Shanzhi was right, they couldn't walk through several squares to get to the city competition. Ye Chang was also prepared, the carriage that had been rented in advance was already waiting, he rode with the insect girl, and the monk also squeezed in, plus the Taoist aunt who accompanied the insect girl, the carriage was crowded.
Ye Chang didn't dare to be too lazy about those two Dao aunts, according to his estimate, there were few people sent by Li Longji.
The carriage was not one of those oil-walled cars, but it was carried on top of a huge umbrella. In the middle of summer, the sun rose early, and the place where the insect girl was sitting could not be shaded at first, after Ye Chang exchanged with her, her face was flushed, and she looked at Ye Chang, who was sweating slightly in the sun, and smiled.
"Laughing at what?" Ye Chang was a little strange.
"It's nothing ......" Worm Niang thought of Ye Chang's words, and secretly said in her heart, "I was so moved that I didn't know what to say for a while, ...... it."
She is particularly sensitive to the care of others, especially like Ye Chang, who inadvertently reveals care, which touches her even more.
"That's a lot of people!"
No matter what, the insect girl is still a little girl, and when she follows Ye Chang, she feels unrestrained, and without the repression in the palace, her little girl's nature is revealed. When I saw the crowd of people on the street, I couldn't help but scream.
"There are indeed a lot of people!" Ye Chang was also surprised.
From the West Market, from the various markets along the way, thousands of people poured out, and their purpose was only Suzaku Street.
The Wuhou in the Wuhou shop, the soldiers of Nanya, and the servants of Jingzhao Mansion were sweating on their mouths and sweating on their heads, running back and forth on the streets, scolding those who squeezed the little ladies in a disorderly manner, punching and kicking those who dared to fish in troubled waters, and sometimes they had to put away the little children who were separated from adults with their noses bubbling with their noses.
Rao is that they are so busy that their feet don't touch the ground, and they can't stand the crowd on the street, and they have to make some mistakes from time to time.
There were more and more people on the street, and later, even Ji Wen, the county lieutenant of Wannian County, had to come out in person, maintaining order all the way, and when he arrived at Suzaku Street, he saw Huo Xianqi with a gloomy face on the opposite side, and he was also so busy that even the crown and hat were crooked.
The two looked at each other and sighed at the same time, but there was a golden light in their eyes.
It was Jinguang, the two counties under Jingzhao who were so active, it was not for nothing, and the West City and the East City together took out a total of 1,500 yuan, that is, 1.5 million yuan, for the two counties to maintain order this time.
This is still learned from the ball market, since the ball market handed over the game order fee every year, the two counties under Jingzhao Mansion have tasted the sweetness, all such large-scale public activities, must be allowed to be set up by the fee user, the cost is less than 100 times, and the more is more than 1,000 times as today.
"The number is less, but today is hard." Over there, Huo Xianqi said half-jokingly.
"Exactly." Gwen replied simply.
Then he saw that Huo Xianqi's gaze was a little stiff, and following Huo Xianqi's gaze, Ji Wen glanced back, and saw Ye Chang and a girl sitting in a car with only an umbrella coming over.
When he saw this girl as a child, Ji Wen was excited: Twenty-nine mothers!
When Ye Chang was planning the West Market, Twenty-Nine Niang had been with him, so Ji Wen knew him.
But he didn't dare to say the identity of Twenty-Nine Niang, after all, it was related to the reputation of the Great Inner Secret, and unless he was impatient with his life, he would talk nonsense.
He looked at Huo Xianqi, because of the case outside the Chunming Gate, Ye Chang had a very bad relationship with him, this guy saw Ye Chang, shouldn't he have a seizure?
If you have an attack and offend the twenty-nine lords, then you have to suffer some losses.
Giwin wasn't going to warn Huo Xianqi, on the contrary, he was eager to see Huo Xianqi's jokes.
In fact, Huo Xianqi is the same as him, and the real backer behind him is Li Linfu, but there is also competition between the two. There is not much affection for each other.
"Ye Shiyi...... Why are you back again, and you are still here to join in the fun!" Givan muttered to himself.
When he heard these words in Huo Xianqi's ears, they were extremely harsh.
However, he was not Zhang Yan, and he didn't dare to trouble Ye Chang, so he just snorted, but didn't say anything.
"There are so many people, more people than I have ever slipped out to watch the game!"
Ye Chang didn't know that the sarcastic aura he was wearing almost caused trouble again, and when he heard the little insect mother say this, he laughed and teased: "It turns out that you are not old or young, and you actually sneaked out to watch the ball game." ”
"Naturally, I have to sneak out to see it, otherwise how can I give them a gold medal?" The worm girl stuck out her tongue.
"So you often sneak out of the palace?"
"Not often, I still have a lot of things."
Ye Chang didn't ask her what was going on in the palace, the one who was taboo, his eyes were attracted by a sugar man stall on the side of the road, he asked the carriage to stop, jumped off himself, ran to the sugar man shop and bought one, and handed it to the insect girl on the carriage.
This is not the first time he has bought candy for Worm Niang, but Worm Niang looked at him with dissatisfaction: "I'm not a child, I still need something like this......"
If it was Xiang'er, he would have happily taken it at this time and ate it sweetly. Ye Chang smiled: "You are a child!"
The two looked at each other for a moment, and finally the worm girl gave in, took the sugar man, and staggered off the carriage: "Then I'll go down too!"
sent the carriage away, the worm girl said she didn't like it, but in fact she licked the sugar man for a while. There was a lot of excitement around, and although they came early, there were at least a few hundred people who arrived before them.
No one dares to do anything on Chaotian Street, that is, Suzaku Street, but on the East and West Second Street, a continuous curtain has been erected, and all kinds of stalls rushing to occupy the place have been set up, but not only the candy sellers.
However, what is surprising is that until now, the color buildings on both sides have not been erected.
In the previous city competition, the color building was built one day or even several days in advance, but this time, whether it is the west city or the east market, there is still no color building.
There are more and more people gathered in the alleys on both sides, and although this side street is not as wide as Suzaku Street, which is 150 meters wide, it is also 50 meters wide, almost equivalent to a small chalk field, so although there are many people, it has not blocked the road.
So many people came after hearing the news, but they only saw all kinds of curtains here, but they didn't see the color building, so they inevitably had to discuss.
"Yes, why can't you see the color building, I asked people, they all said that in the city competition, the color building is the first thing to grab people, who is beautiful and exquisite, it can attract more tourists, and the so-called city competition, many times the fight is a popularity." The tip of the insect girl's pink tongue licked the candy man, raised her head and asked Ye Chang, "Eleven Lang, why don't you say they haven't built a colorful building yet?"
"I don't know the way in the East Market, but I understand the West Market, they have built a color building that can be built temporarily." Ye Chang said with a smile.
"Improvised?"
"It's a very simple thing, you'll know it when you look at it later."
With Ye Chang's comfort, the insect lady is not in a hurry, and more importantly, it is also interesting to follow Ye Chang to visit the stalls on both sides of the street. On weekdays, Nanya is in charge of these streets, and it is impossible to allow vendors to come out for display, but today it is an exception, and the so-called Jin Wu can't help it, this is it.
But other people who come to see the excitement may not have such good patience, if you want to visit the shop, why not go to the market, what's the point here. So after a while, there was already some commotion.
"What are you playing, West City and East City, it's the same!" Hearing the more and more boiling complaints, Ji Wen and Huo Xianqi were a little anxious, Huo Xianqi made a nag, but put Xishi in front: "Ji Gong, you have to send someone to urge, otherwise if so many people make trouble because of dissatisfaction, it is not something you and I can afford." ”
"That's nature, it's okay on my side." Giwin said quietly.
He didn't know what Lu Dao was going to do on his side, but he was sure that since Ye Chang was here, those scoundrels in the West City would also appear.
Ye Chang won't let them make trouble, and the scoundrels don't make trouble, and ordinary people just shout a few words at most.
He had no intention of being instructed by Huo Xianqi to do things.
Seeing that he was not fooled, Huo Xianqi scolded secretly, he didn't dare to be like Ji Wen, so he had already sent someone back to urge.
"Ah, it's coming, it's coming, it's already here!"
At this moment, only a commotion in the east could be heard, and then the crowd parted, and a group of people arrived in high spirits. They carried it on their shoulders and on their backs, plus a few carts, and carried countless pieces of wood over.
"What's the matter, is it too late to start building a colorful building now?" The insect girl also saw it here, and asked Ye Chang strangely.
Seeing that the people from the east were coming, and they were dressed so strangely, the crowd suddenly gathered to the east, and in the blink of an eye, they blocked the sight of Ye Chang and the insect girl.
Ye Chang retracted his gaze and smiled.
It seems that this Dongshi has planted a lot of people around Hu Yuanxiang, and the methods he taught Hu Yuanxiang by themselves were really learned by them!
"It's very easy, do you remember the toy Lu Ban Mu I sent you, it is like Lu Ban Mu, ready-made machine bracket parts, and it is assembled at zero time. People are skilled and skilled, at most an hour, you can build a colorful building. Ye Chang said to the insect mother.
"Is this your idea again?" The insect girl understood as soon as she heard it.
