Chapter 437: Parade of Floats
When the news reached the capital, under the deliberate impetus of the imperial court, an atmosphere of celebration was set off again.
No matter how easy it is to annex and occupy a city, it can be called an annihilation in name. Expanding the meaning, it can be called the restoration of the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties.
If the country is to prosper, the people's spirits must be uplifted, and they are all sluggish, numb and indifferent people, so how good can the country be?
The money does not need to be spent too much, and the free distribution of 100,000 bottles of Zhujie wine makes the people of the capital rejoice like a festival.
And the business is the most fond of this kind of celebration, to engage in a promotion, not only to make the government have a good feeling, but also to make more money while the time comes, why not?
"Congratulations for Daming, congratulations for long live!" In the restaurant, several drinkers raised their glasses and drank continuously.
The guy came forward with two plates of toasted dishes, but a plate of fried peanuts and a plate of cold vegetables were just a plate of mixed vegetables, but they gave an excellent impression to the drinkers.
"Lao Chen, did you buy the war bonds?" A red-faced drinker grabbed a few peanuts and threw them into his mouth, asking as he chewed.
It can be seen from their behavior that these drinkers are either soldiers or martial arts students, and they have the breath of a soldier all over their bodies.
After several years of hard work, the social status of military personnel has been greatly improved. Even if it is a violation of the law, the local government has no power to deal with it, and it is up to the gendarmerie and the military justice department to adjudicate.
In addition, the change of new military uniforms and the payment of military salaries in full and on time have brought about tremendous changes in the appearance and spirit of military personnel, giving all sectors of society a new understanding.
Dressed neatly and neatly, showing a majestic posture, this is only the surface. If you have money in your waist, it makes the soldiers straighten their waists and is more popular with merchants.
Preferential treatment is not the same as connivance, and although the right to punish servicemen who violate the law and commit crimes is first attributed to the military law, the punishment is very severe.
Governing the army is simply the word "reward and punishment", which is similar to governing the rule of officials, and it is not complicated at all.
In the eyes of the emperor, this is a problem. The emperor didn't dare to guarantee that without him, the Ming Empire's officials and army would still be like this.
The emperor's worries are not unreasonable. It's a pity that he can't live for another five hundred years, and can only push the Ming Empire to new heights in his lifetime, leaving more capital for future generations.
"We are soldiers, how can we not buy war bonds?" The black and red face of the drinker showed a proud look, and he said with a smile: "With our Ming army, how can it be invincible to conquer the barbarians in all directions?" ”
"That's right, that's right." The drinker with a small scar on his left cheek nodded again and again, and said, "Jiannu is the most difficult to fight, and now he has fled with his life." Count the enemies around you, which one is still the opponent? ”
After a pause, he added: "The Mongols are considered to be the stronger ones, but if they want to fight, they are not enough to see." ”
"According to Banzai's temper, sooner or later he will be beaten." The bearded drinker took a sip of wine, his eyes brightened a little, and said, "I hope that our Jingying Flying Horse can still be transferred and have another happy fight." ”
"Three or five years at most, I think I can definitely catch up." The scarface drinker said very firmly: "Judging from the layout of the military headquarters and the deployment of military towns in various places, it has begun to ......."
"Too much, too much, too much to talk about." The bearded drinker's eyes widened suddenly, interrupting his companion's remarks.
The scar-faced drinker patted his head and nodded to admit his mistake, "If you drink too much and don't keep your mouth shut, you should be beaten and punished." ”
"Isn't it against your will to punish you for drinking?" Another drinker hurriedly joked, diverted the topic, and said with a smile: "It's better to punish you for not drinking." ”
The scar-faced drinker smiled dryly, and begged for mercy: "Drink less, drink less, just this bottle." ”
The bearded drinker shook his head helplessly, remembered something again, and said, "Now there are war bonds in the market, and the price given seems to be not low. ”
"What did you do earlier?" The scarface drinker snorted and said, "When you look ahead and look backwards when you issue it, you don't believe in the strength of our Ming army. Now that I have won the battle, I feel that there is a advantage to take advantage of. ”
Another drinker agreed, saying, "This is the destruction of a small Champa city, and there will be greater victories and more dividends in the future." This war bond, I have to hold it to maturity. ”
"Besides, I didn't think about how much I could earn, I just cheered for the robes who fought in the war and stood up to cheer."
The bearded man laughed, patted his companion's shoulder hard, and said, "I didn't expect you to say this." That's right, we're just cheering, not making money. ”
As he was talking, the gongs and drums outside were noisy and the voices of people were noisy, attracting the attention of the people in the restaurant.
"Come and see, it's a royal celebration parade." Someone shouted excitedly.
Floats, gongs and drums, instrumental music, singing and dancing...... The emperor made the parade of floats in his impression. It doesn't cost much, and you can change the style and reuse it.
Then contact the merchants of the Beijing Division, follow the royal flower team behind the extravagance, do product promotion, and engage in promotional activities, and the response is quite enthusiastic.
At that time, there were few entertainment activities, and the common people had nothing to find fault with.
The cart is decorated with red silk and green cloth, and the flowers are clustered, and the beautiful women are singing and dancing, and the musicians are playing and singing, walking slowly along the street, and the roadside spectators are like a tide, just like a major festival.
After that, there were floats tied up by various merchants, and handsome men and beautiful women were also invited to perform, and the names of the merchants' shops were hung. Some even sprinkled some small items such as candy, which caused the people to cheer and scramble.
The men of the Five Cities Terracotta Division maintained law and order along the streets, some on foot, some on horseback, all in uniform, which was similar to the police of later generations.
The change is just in the past few years, from top to bottom, is becoming a familiar appearance in the emperor's memory.
In the restaurant, even the boss and his buddies, as well as the drinkers, are the first time to see such a scene. What a parade, a new term, a new form, dizzying.
"Look, that's an oiran." Someone pointed out that the characters who are rarely seen by ordinary people are also showing up in front of the public today.
"Oiran, I look average." The bearded drinker looked carefully, pouted and said, "That's what I sing, it's pleasant." ”
The scarface drinker chuckled and quipped, "That's, that's." In the eyes of the boss, the sister-in-law is the most beautiful and can't accommodate other women. ”
The bearded drinker's face was proud, but he patted his thigh and said, "I forgot that there is a float parade today, and my mother-in-law may come out with her child to see the excitement." There are a lot of people, don't squeeze and touch them. ”
"Don't worry, boss." The scar-faced drinker hurriedly comforted: "The float parade is three days, and it's not too late for Ming'er to accompany her sister-in-law and nephew." Presumably, my sister-in-law is also measured and will not be in such a hurry. ”
"Look, look, the dragon dancer is coming." Someone next to him shouted loudly, diverting the topic from here.
