As soon as you enter the wax moon, the flavor of the New Year in Luoyang City is getting stronger and stronger. At this time of year, it is also the most lively season in Luoyang.

No matter which family it is, at this time, don't tear two feet of cloth for your child to sew a set of new clothes for the New Year, plus the same food should not be missing.

More people means more business opportunities for merchants. Families began to marinate pork, mutton, and fish, which can not only be used as New Year's goods, but also stored until the following summer.

The people have been busy for a year, whether they have money or not, they are preparing for the New Year. The people who have no money, or rely on the relief of the same clan, or borrow money to spend the New Year, no matter what happens in the coming year, the current New Year is not sloppy.

Cleaning houses, worshipping ancestors, drinking and séance, visiting relatives and friends, etc., are all the same. And the rich and noble family in Luoyang City, when encountering snowy weather, they also have to hold a feast, shape snow lions, pretend to be snow mountains, meet relatives and friends, sing in a low voice, if it is a sunny day, invite friends to make friends, travel to the sky street at night, watch a hundred operas to pre-appreciate the New Year's Eve.

At this time, the two most lively places in Luoyang City are none other than the Taixu Restaurant and the People's Bath. The people's bath has become popular, and the upper and lower floors are basically full every day, and some people even queue up in the early hours of the night in order to take a bath.

Fortunately, this people's bath was built in the southern city outside the city, otherwise if it was built in the city, the soldiers guarding the city would not have been driven crazy by these people who were keen to bathe.

Now after a period of fermentation, the word bath has become the most popular greeting for the people of Luoyang.

When the two meet, the first thing they will ask is: "Brother Tai, have you gone to take a bath?" "Merchants are profit-seeking, and because of the rise of bathing, other merchants have begun to try to build baths.

But they are obviously an afterthought, and under the hasty response, although they have attracted some customers, they are much worse than the people's baths, whether it is a variety of services or a decorative environment.

There is no comparison at all, the original intention of the people's bath was to facilitate the people, gain fame, and make money for Yuan Shao, the children of the family, are secondary.

And because the Yuan family spread it intentionally or unintentionally, now among these big families, who doesn't know that Yuan Shaojun is dedicated to the people, and even the Son of Heaven heard about it and specially mentioned a few words in the court.

Therefore, there was an endless stream of old friends who came to visit Yuan Shao, which made Yuan Shu, who was sent to the ancestral land of Runan, regret his bowels.

Originally, this people's bath was built by him, but he didn't expect to be picked up by Yuan Shao. Therefore, he wrote to Wu Yong several times, and the meaning of his words was to ask Wu Yong to help him intercede with the Son of Heaven and rush back from Runan Ancestral Land earlier.

And Yuan Shao also experienced the famous troubles, and he was painful and happy every day. At the beginning, someone visited him, Yuan Shao went to socialize a few times, and then there were more visitors, Yuan Shao was irritable, so he pretended to be unwell and closed the door and stopped going out to socialize.

At this time, Yuan Shao finally experienced the pain of celebrities, and he continued to socialize, and he would be instructed or even watched when he went out, but if he really closed himself in his cabin, it was difficult to do nothing every day.

So Yuan Shao had to hide in Wu Yong's courtyard often, and called Cao Cao and others, taking advantage of Wu Yong's time to accompany the Son of Heaven to study, they hid for a day.

During this period, not only did they eat and drink in Wu Yong's courtyard, but several people often brought their sisters as well, and watched shadow puppets with the little ladies of the Hou Mansion with the five surnames.

The reason why they often come to Wu Yong's courtyard to eat and drink is that it is winter, and only Wu Yong has fresh vegetables delivered every day.

These vegetables are all grown in the newly built greenhouses in Luoyang Huangzhuang, and it is not an exaggeration to say that they are worth a thousand gold.

And the reason why Taixu Restaurant is so hot in Luoyang City is also the credit of these winter vegetables. In this regard, Wu Yong even asked the restaurant to introduce the way to eat shabu-shabu, all kinds of meat and vegetables, and the soup pot is shabu-shabu, and the taste is surprisingly good.

This way of eating, once launched, immediately swept the entire Luoyang City. Even Liu Hong, the Son of Heaven, also asked Wu Yong from time to time for some fresh vegetables to eat shabu-shabu.

The dignified emperor can not eat vegetables as much as he wants in winter, and it is conceivable how precious vegetables are in winter.

In the Taixu Restaurant, the price of a plate of green vegetables has risen to 500 yuan, and it is a limited supply every day.

Otherwise, people nowadays know how to be grateful. Even if the price of vegetables is so expensive, the people of Huangzhuang are not immovable, rain or shine, and send fresh vegetables to Wu Yong every day.

Not for anything else, just for Wu Yong to let them live the life they dreamed of. Now the people of Huangzhuang are simply worshipping Wu Yong.

Vegetables can not be sold, but they can't be sent to Wu Yong! In this regard, Wu Yong persuaded several times to no avail, so he went with them.

This made Yuan Shao and others cheaper, often uninvited, and took advantage of Wu Yong's absence, so they took care of the pot by themselves.

Wu Yong also turned a blind eye to this and closed one eye. I thought to myself: when will they let them have some blood.

And this winter, two major events occurred in the imperial court, one was that Jinan thieves rose up and attacked Dongpingling. The second is the internal subordinate of Yulin Wuhu people.

Dongpingling is actually also known as Pingling City, as early as the Spring and Autumn Period for the Qi State Pingling Yi. The Han Dynasty placed the Pingling City of the old Qi State, just because there is also a Pingling City in Fufeng County in Shaanxi, and the Pingling City in Jinan is located in the east, so people call it

"Dongping Tomb City" Dongping Tomb City is the earliest in Jinan

"Governance". At the beginning of the Han Dynasty, Jinan County was established, which was

"Jinan" appeared for the first time in history as a geographical term. After that, the Kingdom of Jinan took Dongpingling as the royal city.

In the first year of Emperor Yongxing of the Han Dynasty, Liu Guangxu, the king of Jinan, had no children and the country was divided. The current Dongping Tomb City is an unguarded treasure house, and it happened to meet these hungry and anxious homeless people, so it was naturally impacted.

To this end, the imperial court also convened a special court meeting and agreed to elect a new king of Jinan as soon as possible. Yulin, that is, the Yulin of later generations.

Wuhu, Nanfang Yi also. Guangzhou Ji said:

"Its vulgar cannibalism, drinking water through the nose, and eating in the mouth as before." Historical records record: "The Book of Rites says, 'The south is barbaric, and the carving title is handed over.'" 'Its laymen and women bathe in the same river, so it is said to be the address. There is a country of people in the west, and the first son is relieved and eaten, which is called a suitable brother. The purpose of the taste is to leave it behind. The king rejoiced and rewarded his father. If you marry a beautiful wife, let her brother. Today, the Wuhu people are also. "This time, Yulin Wuhu people rate their subordinates, in fact, Yulin Taishou Gu Yong recruited more than 100,000 Wuhu people with a letter of grace.

The court received the news, and the monarch and the ministers were happy. After all, for Liu Hong, the son of heaven, this is a merit of expanding the territory.

So the imperial court decreed that the Wuhu people would be crowned in the future, change customs, and open seven counties in their original territory.

Of course, these two major events did not have much impact on the people of Luoyang. This year, because of the arrival of Wu Yong, the Son of Heaven, the wax moon in Luoyang City is much more lively than in previous years.

For example, the shadow puppet show that constantly innovates makes the people of Luoyang City talk about it. Today's people in Luoyang, who can't sing a few lines of "The Legend of the White Snake".

The singing sentences of "Dou E's Injustice" are even more handy. Many people can even recite the whole play of "Tianxian Pei" backwards.

In addition to these, all kinds of Taixu food that spread from the Taixu Restaurant were gradually accepted by the people of Luoyang.

Nowadays, every household has an iron pot, and stir-fried vegetables have become the best dish for banquets. Those pasta and soy food have also become one of the daily foods of the people, which has greatly improved their appetite.

Hearing that the imperial court encouraged the planting of cotton and sugar beet, many people decided to plant a large area next year out of trust in Wu Yong, ready to do a big job!

As for now, most of the people of Luoyang also have some surplus wealth in their hands. So this year, compared to previous years, it is still better.

Of course, for the vast majority of ordinary people, the Chinese New Year is to buy new clothes and buy some New Year's goods.

In fact, at this time, the people had nothing to buy, fireworks, red lanterns and so on, all of which had not yet appeared.

The simple New Year's sustenance of the Spring Festival couplets has not been officially spread. Therefore, the way of celebrating the New Year in the Han Dynasty was still relatively unentertaining, that is, worshipping gods and ancestors, visiting relatives and friends.

Of course, for children, they can wear some new clothes and eat some food that they are reluctant to eat on weekdays. Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it couldn't help but reach the twenty-third day of the lunar month.

And from this day on, the hundreds of officials and ministers in the court, after being busy for nearly a year, were finally able to rest.

Wu Yong naturally didn't have to accompany the Son of Heaven to study, he planned to make some purchases in Luoyang, and then returned to his hometown in Nanyang.

It has been more than seven months since he arrived in Luoyang in May, and he misses his grandmother and sisters very much.

I don't know how my grandmother's body is, whether He Lian thinks about him, and whether the two sisters have grown taller...... Thinking of these things, Wu Yong took Cheng Zhao, Yan Zhan and Cen Sheng to Luoyang South City to buy New Year's goods.

After walking around Nanshi, Wu Yong finally bought a lot of dried meat and seafood, which were going to be taken back and distributed to the villagers.

Most of the jerky is beef and mutton, which are transported from the border areas. Most of the seafood is stone cauliflower and some dried fish, which are transported from Bohai County.

Nowadays, the transportation and storage of seafood is a huge problem, and if you want to eat a bite of seafood in the inland areas, it is simply hard to find.

That is, Luoyang, as the capital of the Han Dynasty, can have so many goods gathered. Wu Yong also coincided with the meeting, and under the introduction of a common man in Huangzhuang, he bought this batch of seafood at a preferential price.

Even if it is a preferential price, the price of one pound of seafood is comparable to the price of ten pounds of jerky, which can't help but make Wu Yong sigh that the seafood is very profitable, and secretly swear in his heart that when there is an opportunity, the price of seafood must be knocked down!

So that the people can afford to eat! As time passes, seeing that the end of the lunar month is about to come, it is time for Wu Yong to take Cheng Zhao and others back to Wancheng to regain their views.

In the first year of his coming to this world, he still wanted to spend it with his relatives. So under the send-off of Yuan Shao and others, Wu Yong left Luoyang on the twenty-fourth day of the lunar month.
