Chapter 204: Dressed and Ready to Return (Part II)

At night, after dinner, Yi Xue and Sima Cheng were in the study of the East Palace, in the name of reading, but they were actually secretly practicing for the big salute.

Because of the entourage sent by Gonggong Cao, there are more people around Yi Xue, and she always feels a little awkward, and she doesn't want to be so flamboyant when she goes to the school to practice.

It is naturally a good thing to be cautious, and Sima Cheng also cooperated with Yi Xue and thought of some new practice methods for her, such as lifting stone bricks in the house, just like now.

The room was very quiet, and only a slight panting sound could be heard, and Xue Xue worked hard to "lift the stone bricks", while Sima Cheng was watching Xue Xue's movements, although he knew that Sima Cheng was looking at her posture, but he was always staring at his body like this, and Xue Xue inevitably felt a little uncomfortable, so he took the initiative to speak, breaking the silence.

"Another day, you go to Guozixue and ask Zhou Gongzi about the stone, the important thing is to find a way to inquire about the craftsmen he mentioned." Xue Xue said.

"My subordinates understand."

Sima Cheng replied, he didn't slack off in training, and from time to time he used bamboo strips to point at Yi Xue's arms or thighs to ensure that his strength was used in the right place.

"Your Majesty, please use your strength here.

"Hmm." Yi Xue's answer was a little difficult.

"But is that all about the paint thing to give up?" There was some unwillingness in Yi Xue's tone.

"If Your Majesty doesn't want to give up, your subordinates will also find a way to inquire for Your Majesty, Lu Gongzi just said that those colored stones are hard to find, and His Majesty is not looking for those, there are not many people who can make this kind of stone, as long as you explore the way to buy Lu Gongzi, your subordinates feel that there will be a chance." Sima Cheng replied.

"Uh-huh!"

Yi Xue nodded vigorously, however, her hand suddenly lost her strength, and the stone brick fell to the ground with a muffled sound, and a trace of discoloration flashed in Sima Cheng's eyes, but fortunately he was not injured.

Sima Cheng turned his head and saw that the incense on the desk was close to the bottom, so he said:

"It's already time for a stick of incense, Your Majesty, please take a break."

Sima Cheng didn't let Yi Xue sit down, and Yi Xue was soft when she stood without moving her legs, so she had to pace back and forth in the room with a teacup, thinking of her small body, she couldn't help but worry.

Sima Cheng saw that Yi Xue's steps were getting faster and faster, and he seemed to have guessed something, so he said:

"Drawing a bow and shooting arrows is not a one-day thing, Your Majesty does not need to be overly anxious."

Yi Xue waved her hand, which was regarded as a response to Sima Cheng's words of relief, Yi Xue was naturally willing to put in ten times more efforts than ordinary people, but she was inevitably worried that some things could not be changed even if she tried her best.

For example, the fact that Yi Xue is not the real Sima Ji.

Asking about the new mine at the Qiuli banquet is generally a mixed blessing, but even if you know the way, you must also have someone who can go to the local area to do practical things, in addition, the existing government-run mineral deposits also need to go to the local area to confirm the situation.

"Even if you go to Guozixue and find out the way, you have to send someone to go, maybe there is more than one place, and you still need to think of a reason......

Under the sunlight, it looks brilliant. On both sides of the galloping road, there stands the majestic palace high courtyard, and the Yongyu flies together, passing each other and each other, as far as the eye can see.

The city walls are surrounded by a meandering moat, rippling green waves, beautiful scenery, and high-rise buildings. The imposing roof ridge sandwiched the emperor's road, and the willow shade obscured the river that flowed through the palace.

Before Pei Xuanling left, he also reminded Yi Xue that not only copper and iron are the central monopoly, but also salt.

It is managed by the central salt officials, and the salt monopoly is produced by the salt people under the supervision of the government, purchased by the government at a fixed price, and transported and sold by the government. The iron monopoly took the government. ”

The ancient copper ore in the area of Tongguan Mountain is widely dispersed, and there are nearly 100 mining and metallurgical sites excavated from archaeology, among which the larger ones are Tongguan Mountain, Phoenix Mountain, Lion Mountain, Jinshan, Tongshan and other mining areas, each forming a mining and metallurgical center. According to the investigation and estimation of archaeologists, the copper slag left from the pre-Qin to the Tang and Song dynasties. It is also worth noting that there are often copper smelting sites near many mining sites, as well as various copper products, including bronzes, production tools, and weapons from Shang to Zhou, as well as stone and copper models used to cast copper products.

It can be seen that the production layout here at that time has formed a one-stop process of mining, smelting and casting, thus forming large-scale production.

Tongling is the location of the leading copper mining institution in the south of the Yangtze River, and the ancient copper smelting site is not limited to Tongling. Nanling, which is adjacent to Tongling, is also a concentration of ancient bronze smelting.

If you look closely, the lawn is covered with a small grass with purple flowers, with long and narrow blades and flowers like toothbrushes. Although it is not gorgeous, it still looks full of vitality in a large area.

This is called "patina", which only grows in copper-rich soil, and is a landform plant for copper ore.

After the Yellow Emperor defeated Chiyou, he learned the smelting technology from Chiyou and sent people to Kunwu Mountain to mine. The mineral deposits of Kunwu Mountain are indeed very rich, and there are all kinds of iron and tin, but at that time, people did not distinguish between them, and only knew about smelting copper and iron.

In the late Yellow Emperor era, the use of copper and iron replaced various stone tools, and the knives, guns, spears, halberds, arrows, arrows and other weapons used by the Yellow Emperor's army in warfare were replaced by copper.

All kinds of production and living utensils have also been replaced with iron and copper products. It is said that there was also a man named Jinbo, who once made a concave shape with an iron hammer and put it on the fire to roast meat, which aroused the interest of many people. Later, according to this principle, people invented the iron pot.

After the party, Lu Ji's younger brother Lu Yun, an optimistic young man who loves to laugh, advised his brother not to be so impulsive:

"People are northerners, and it's normal that they haven't heard of our Wu County celebrities."

There is also a white hair, black or yellow tail, and there are black or yellow balls on the head or waist, which is called whipping hydrangea, and if there are two round balls, it is called whipping double hydrangea. It feels like a lot of guns and seals are related to gold and jade, and it seems that the ancients did take cats as a symbol of blessing.

The pure black cat is also called the Cloud Cat or the Howling Iron. The cat's back is all black, but the belly, legs, feet, and paws are all white, which is called dark cloud cover snow. If the whole body is black, and there is a little white hair on the tip of the tail, it is called a hanging bead or a black jade hanging bead, and it is also called a black jade heavy pearl.

If the whole body is black, the tail is white, which is called the Morizo needle. The coat color is all black, but there is a white one on the mouth, which is called a butterfly.

The whole body is black or yellow, but the four claws are white, which is called treading snow and looking for plums. If the black cat has dotted white hair all over its body, it is called the plum leopard, also called the money plum blossom, but this pattern is very rare, I have never seen it so far.

There are also some who have a pure yellow body but white hair on their abdomen, which are called gold and silver beds. The black, white and yellow color is called a hawksbill turtle. If the tortoiseshell is concentrated on the head, it is called a roar; The tortoiseshell is all over the body, and it is called rolling brocade. The whole body is yellow, and the one without patterns is called a golden tiger.

He has always attached great importance to Lu Ji's reputation, and Lu Ji and Zhang Hua felt like old when they met, he admired Zhang Hua's moral demeanor and treated him with the etiquette of a teacher.

The high-ranking officials and servants under the sect not only maintained their power to provide policy advice to the emperor by their side to the emperor, but also obtained the power to review the copywriting issued by the Shangshu organization, and their power gradually increased.

Six laws, six lu, silent, eight sounds, six dances, and Yamato music are used to worship ghosts and gods, reconcile the country, unify all people, and entertain guests. auspicious, fierce, military, guest, jia "five rites" arrangement. Worship and perform duties from the prime minister to the next level.

Auspicious salutes to worship ghosts and gods, fierce salutes to mourn the country, military salutes to punish ungodly, guests to be courtesy, Jiali marriage, and court rites are included in Jiali.

On the one hand, he felt guilty for his poor consideration, and secondly, someone was injured, as the emperor, but now there is only Si Kui, the imperial doctor, in the palace, and for his safety, Yi Xue does not plan to let him out of the palace.

Yi Xue was in awe and did not dare to approach.
