Chapter 928. Broad daylight
Without the tragic battle in the secret realm of the East China Sea, the armed riot at the time of the Fourth Month, the overnight horror of raiding the Chongwang Mansion, the treacherous turmoil in the Cardinal Tower, and the sound of the holy hand in the piano have also faded away, Pershing, the richest part of the world that is considered to be unbreakable, has returned to the bustle of the past, and the song and dance have been leveled.
The pilgrimage of "All Nations" will begin in three days.
It has been at least a month since the "Strange Disaster of the Prince" connected to the secret realm of the East China Sea, and it is time for any kind of turmoil to calm down, even if the final ruler of this empire is depressed, he should use his forgetful brain at this time to throw all this away and face a new arrogant and lascivious future. "The damned people didn't die (Zun, Zhen, Chong Sanwang Shizi), but the people who didn't deserve to die suffered heavy losses (the blazing white peony that almost pounced, the blue cosmos that pounced directly, and the first master of the youth, Fang Tianhang), and was almost robbed of the secret realm by the northerners!" The roar will no longer sound in the courtyard of the deep palace. Whether it was His Majesty who pretended to be unassertive, or Empress Linghua who pretended to be too assertive, they all turned the page and concentrated on facing the middle fifteen days of September.
It was the day of the vassal tribute, the official imperial ceremony, and the banquet of the Silver Cui Mansion on June 14 was nothing more than a rehearsal and entertainment.
In three days, the holy ceremony of re-canonizing the various feudal states every ten years will be held in front of the main gate of the towering and sacrosanct Pershing Palace, so that the people of the whole world can have a good look at the majesty of the empire, so the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty, including His Majesty, are very busy.
Although, judging from the situation of the four small feudal states that fought in front of the station this time, the feudal states that accepted the canonization this time may be the least one in history, or even the least one since the millennium of civilization, but all the rules and procedures are different from those ten years ago, and there can be no difference!
This is the face of an empire.
And such a face is still in the process of being saved, and the death of Nalan Yewang in the secret realm of the East China Sea, as well as the news of the northerners' "Qinglong Decisive Battle Camp" still circulating, have become the talk of the whole world. Many small nations began to sway from side to side, "preparing with both hands", and the Emperor of the North, the young and wise man, was also engaged in a plan that would not cause him much damage - to show weakness.
He was even willing to send a few envoys and bring a few tributes to the poor baba to "pay tribute", of course, there are endless conspiracies rolling behind this, this is obvious, Harlan Xuanqi is a careful emperor, and the gifts handed out are costly, if the benefits are not big, he will never give the Spirit Emperor any good looks.
As for the thoughts of those small countries that have suddenly changed their hexagrams and clamored for tribute, only those envoys who are good at diplomatic rhetoric know.
This is another confrontation, and the bargaining chips that the empire can turn defeat into victory are accumulating little by little because of various factors, although this is not the credit of the Spirit Emperor and the Queen Party at all, but it is still inevitable to be festively busy.
For example-
In the deepest part of Blacksmith Street, at the seemingly inconspicuous end, in front of the shops, countless people were crowded, and even these luxury cars could only be placed at the entrance of Blacksmith Street, so as not to jam the traffic.
The length of the firecrackers is actually very overdue, because even the firecrackers are supported by the holy decree, a bunch of children with the crown of the nobility carry the thin wind of Peiyuan Wuzhong, against the crisp sound of the firecrackers, drilling back and forth in the gray-blue gunsmoke that gradually rises, laughing and playing, adding a joy, this is not a big red event, nor is it a rich family to add a new ding, but the opening of the auspicious, guests and friends come to cheer.
His Majesty did not come, and for the first time did not attend the opening ceremony of a master blacksmith in the blacksmith street, because the blacksmith "took an oath (no one can tell if he is a fake" at the moment) Loyal to the dynasty, only a subject all his life, so there is no need to be present for the monarch in person, just send an official to represent it, so there is a long list of firecrackers far beyond the strict hierarchy regulations, over-specification invitations, and in the windy weather stained a street of all kinds of princes and nobles, the gentry and the powerful, as well as almost half of the city's idlers and other strong attraction here, the old blacksmith masters of the blacksmith street also formed a team of their own, standing in a prominent position, and even the eunuch who represented His Majesty, the chief eunuch of the Ouchi, quietly waiting for thousands of years, another king of the forging world"Presence".
The faces of these old forgers were ugly, and they were unseemly incompatible with the festive atmosphere here, and they were sandwiched between two very piercing people, although they were lined up in a phalanx on the surface, but in fact they were sandwiched between two people, and they did not look like people inside and out. On their left is the Silla envoy who came and has a bunch of connections, and the whole person exudes the red, blue and yellow light of the light storage ring, and on their right is the chief administrator Xia Gonggong (Xia Shouzhong), who came to supervise the entire opening process on behalf of His Majesty, and the light of the light storage ring on his body is even more dazzling, and the two glowing humanoid original sins are "greedy" At this time, infinite light and heat were radiating, squeezing the entire phalanx of forging masters almost shapeless, and they were about to be banished into the cracks of time.
The faces of these old forgers were ugly, and they were ugly and incompatible with the festive atmosphere here, and of course, their mood was even more unspeakably ugly at this time. Their time is over, but they are still alive, they can still move, they can still create those exquisite and luxurious medium-grade or even high-grade spiritual weapons, and even plan to use God-given luck to create the second useful mysterious weapon in their lives, however, what they have to face is a king who has already surpassed his predecessors, the world, and even the entire era on the way to forging, a real, light-forging master without a little water.
Lighter!
Even if even the most inferior light tool is thrown away after using it once, it is by no means the height that these old forgers can look up to, they probably can't even design the mold of the light device, and they don't even know what kind of material can be forged into a light device.
The long, completely over-controlled overbearing cannon sound finally ended, but the smoke of gunpowder had not yet dissipated. On the other side, Master Xuequan led a group of monks from Fahua Temple to start praying for blessings, according to the default rules, they prayed for peace, not prosperity, because it was impossible for any shop on Blacksmith Street to flourish - the consumption threshold was there, and who would dare to step into the high threshold of those blacksmiths without the purchasing power of millions of copper plates?
"Come on, come on, go and invite the big plaque from the imperial gift!" Father-in-law Xia's yin and yang voice suddenly sounded in the sound of Buddhist scriptures, harsh and ugly, but it didn't make anyone feel inappropriate. Pan Rengui, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry, personally took a few third-grade officials and lightly hung the large plaque written by the Linghuang himself on the empty door beam, and many old forging masters looked at it, and couldn't help but snort coldly in their hearts, "Tend to be inflammatory!" But I don't know that the peaceful days of their brocade clothes and jade food for so many years are not given by His Majesty?
How many of these people are not accustomed to the rudeness and barbarism of the northerners, can't stand the relatively harsh conditions of the northerners, and are unwilling to leave the rich royal capital of the south?
How many of these people have adhered to the unchanging law of their ancestors, buried themselves in the so-called "ancient forging method" for decades, did not seek innovation, did not pay attention to an inch, and did not launch a tentative charge against the impossible field in their lifetime, or even shouted a sentence?
Tradition may be a certain guarantee for the equipment manufacturing industry to seek high quality, but it is by no means the quality required for material science research and process technology research and development! Only by breaking the tradition and denying the 'impossible' can we truly usher in progress.
The six gilded characters of "Broad Sky Forging" were hung high, and in the entire forging room, there was no other person's plaque, not even a large ink treasure, and the plaque was hung up, just like His Majesty was condescending.
That is, from the most fair and objective point of view, those six words are also very beautiful, less vigorous, but many times more gentle and elegant, Linghuang, this emperor who has no opinions and can't do anything big, but is a more famous calligrapher in this era, but the famous calligrapher of this era is not worth much - the real king Zhao Guangyi, Chongwang Zhao Guangchong, and even the king Zhao Fenglei are well versed in this, not to mention the holy hand of calligraphy and painting.
The plaque is on the top, so in general, this forging room can be regarded as established, the forging is a black lacquered door, vermilion door frame, so the black door with two iron beast heads is also outside after three heavy cannon shots, slowly opened, out of the inside out of a crown of the top of the heavenly list of the first master.
Wan Jianxin looked like Lao Tzu's first posture in the world, striding forward, his belt was particularly conspicuous, and the light of the mysterious weapon was like a neon light, and it was even more dazzling the 24k krypton gold dog eyes of a group of forging masters and many spectators. Here you can see the high level, Your Majesty, the most trusted ministers (minions) around Your Majesty, as well as those involved in state affairs, such as the envoys of the vassal kingdom, these people with high status on the surface, before the forge opens a shop, can naturally get the highest achievement of the forge master, and the forger's own relatives, friends and even lovers, before the forge becomes famous and opens a shop, can only get inferior things, even if it is privately customized, it cannot reach the highest level of the forge master, otherwise it will be disrespectful.
After the forger opens the shop, he can only "respect the sky" for a year, and he can only create his own works of the highest level according to His Majesty's approval, or offer his best works to the imperial court (paid, at least the material cost is directly allocated by the imperial court), and after a year, he can customize according to his own preferences, but Yinchen has privately agreed with His Majesty for three years!
Even, even if the three-year period has passed, Yinchen will give priority to the orders of the imperial court, of course, the imperial court must pay the full amount of the material cost.
No one knows, but His Majesty and the Empress both know that if the light can protect Sumikuni Zuo, Yinchen is even willing to give away a car for free...... In short, how to win-win, Yinchen is easy to speak, very good to speak, he doesn't want to be rich, he doesn't want to be a very human minister, and even the work of the dragon is not rare, what he wants is a comfortable life, usually lectures, create some gadgets, on the premise of loyalty, try to take into account a little people's livelihood and reputation.
It is precisely because of this that Lin Xuanchen's defection to the Shenwu Marquis' Mansion was severely suppressed by His Majesty, and the edict ordered that no one should wait to ask about the Lin family's wealth.
Therefore, in this lively opening ceremony, the prince of Zhongshun did not come, but the king of beauty must have come, it doesn't matter what small cover clock is, it is important to have the opportunity to get the light device.
In short, just when the people in the Chongwang Mansion were still in prison, and the people in the True King's Mansion were still dissatisfied because of the silver dust spying on them, and they couldn't come, this small, but like a jewel in the crown, officially opened at the moment when Wan Jianxin pushed open the door. Wan Jianxin went out, untied the cloth bag around his waist, reached out and pulled it inside, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and threw them towards the crowd without any hidden weapon at all, the aristocratic children laughed and jumped up to grab the copper coins scattered in the air, or knelt on the ground to grab each other's copper plates that fell to the ground, and Wan Jianxin, as if he was not distressed at all, grabbed a handful of copper coins and shot at the crowd.
Scattering money, sacrificing to the sky, sacrificing to the God of Wealth, sacrificing to the forging ancestor, all the processes in this series are led by Wan Jianxin Zhang Baisheng, and Ying Shixuan is busy before and after, and the real world's No. 1 forging saint is not even a shadow at this time.
The Silla envoy felt a little strange, but the old god Xia Shouzhong was there. The powerful eunuch beside the emperor naturally knew that the Marquis of Shenwu had done his best for the country and had only taken half a day off, that is to say, now the forging saint himself is still in Jing Zhaoyin's capital palace, teaching the pillars of the country!
As for whether he is talking about the economy or war mobilization today, it doesn't matter.
"Zhang Baisheng, you will slaughter this foreigner. After Wan Jianxin smashed the "Disaster Basin", "Unrighteous Basin" and "Fraud Basin", he stopped and ordered Zhang Baisheng to slaughter the blood sacrifice of the animal. Livestock sacrifice, this is a deep-rooted tradition of thousand-year-old civilization, pigs and sheep must be slaughtered every year, not to mention the opening of such a major event that determines livelihood.
Smash the porcelain basin, send the plague god, slaughter cattle and sheep, pray for good luck, and then burn the silk to enlighten the spirit, chant the scriptures and open the light, and then it can be regarded as completely opened, and after the opening, you must take out a magic weapon that represents the average level of the forging division and place it in the store for customers to watch and evaluate the strength of the forging division.
Forging, can not be fake, any piece of famous utensils have inscriptions, and once the magic weapon is formed, there is no way to return to the furnace, in the existing god soldier on their own inscription, it is simply impossible to do it, so one thing is prepared first The treasure of the town shop has become the benchmark of the level of the forger, if the forge has an epiphany breakthrough, then the treasure of the town shop is also time to replace.
