Hu Hai wanted to say something, Li Si took it and said respectfully: "Marquis Li, Your Majesty is reasonable, and it is also for the sake of Marquis Li's safety, at that time, Your Majesty and the ministers will watch the ceremony at the city gate, and you can ensure that Marquis Lihou is worry-free with Your Majesty!" ”

Hu Hai was still a little dissatisfied when he heard this, but when he saw that several people looked at him, he arched his hand and said perfunctorily: "Okay, I'll go!" ”

After saying that, he turned around and walked straight out of the Four Seas Palace.

Seeing that Hu Hai was so rude, Li Si and the three of them looked at me in unison, especially Li Si, after all, I am now his son-in-law, but seeing that my face did not change, he smiled and said, "Brother Hai is still so casual." Let's move on! ”

————

In the blink of an eye, it is the Shangsi Festival.

A high platform had already been erected on the south bank of the Wei River, and the surrounding area was full of people, all discussing what the imperial court wanted to do.

"Nanhe, what do you say the imperial court is building this platform for? There are also a lot of bathtub-like things by the river, are they for us to bathe? ”

The young man named Nanhe glanced at him and sneered, "Yuan, you think too much, right?" The imperial court bathed you? Don't wash your skin off yet! I think you want us to carry water into the ditch of the new city, right? ”

"I think there are a lot of wooden frames and strange round things built on both sides of the road, it is estimated that the imperial court is monitoring our water transportation!"

Someone responded, "Really? Then I'll have to run away, I've just returned from my conscription in the Northland......"

……

When everyone was talking, Yingjiang cleared his throat and said loudly on the high platform: "Xianyang Qianshou listen!" ”

Everyone fell silent instantly, Ying Jiang nodded with satisfaction, and continued: "I am Xianyang Ling Ying Jiang, following His Majesty's orders, presiding over the Shangsi Festival activities, with the intention of participating in the grand event with the head of Qian, and having fun with the people!" ”

As he spoke, he bowed to the south gate of the city and saluted: "Everyone, please look, Your Majesty is above the city gate!" ”

The people in the audience all turned their heads to look, and sure enough, they saw me and a group of ministers, Tao Yao, and Li Shiyun standing at the city gate and looking at everyone with a smile.

Jokes aside, everyone saw me and still shouted excitedly: "Your Majesty ten thousand years! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”

I nodded slightly, echoing the cheers of the people.

After a long time, Yingjiang continued to introduce: "There are three activities in the Shangsi Festival, the first one is on the south bank of the Wei River, called Qushui Liuzhen! ”

Ying Jiang pointed to the "big bath" in the Weishui next to him and introduced: "The gameplay is very simple, those who are willing to participate will receive the number plate from the pawn, and the number of ten people will start the game." Each person put their own number plate in the big chuckle, and then the guards let go of the blocking rope, the big dart went down the water, and the top three who reached the end first through the twists and turns of the waterway can get a ploughing ox, a ewe, and ten hens rewarded by the imperial court, and the rest of the participants can also get a hen! ”

After listening to Yingjiang's introduction, there was a lot of discussion below.

"Really? How easy it is to get a ploughing ox? ”

"I think it's fake, even if you don't have a ranking, you will get a hen, how can there be such a good thing in the world!"

"Hmph, you can't be from Shandong, right? Since I was filial piety, the merchant monarch Ximu Lixin has been in the present, how can I ever lose my words in Qianshou? ”

"You guessed it, we are merchants from Shandong! Since you believe in the imperial court so much, do you dare to go? ”

Old Qin said coldly: "Look at it! ”

Immediately squeezed out of the crowd, stretched out his hand and said, "Lingjun, I am willing to participate!" ”

Yingjiang nodded and said appreciatively: "Okay! Count you in! Is there anyone else, although the game is simple, the reward is only ten rounds, and if you miss it, you will have to wait for next year! ”

As soon as the words fell, many more people reached out to participate.

After gathering enough ten people, the ten people each drew the number plate and put it in the big picture, and with Yingjiang's order, the pawn said loudly: "Liuzhen!" ”

Everyone stared nervously at the ten wooden basins, and excitedly said, "Hurry up, hurry up, number three overtake!" ”

"No. 3 is out of play, I see No. 9 running the fastest, most likely first!"

Half an hour later, the wooden basin floated to the end, and Yingjiang announced loudly: "No. 4 first, enjoy a ploughing cow!" No. 3 second, reward a ewe! No. 7 third, reward ten hens! The rest will each be rewarded with a hen! ”

Then he waved his hand: "Bring the reward cattle, sheep and chickens over, and the reward will be done!" ”

Immediately, a soldier brought the rewarded cattle, sheep and chickens over, and Yingjiang said in a loud voice: "Everyone, the reward will be honored on the spot!" Pawn herd, immediately register the ploughing cattle! ”

Everyone stretched their necks and looked at the paperwork prepared by the herd in amazement, and the first place trembled with excitement, until he signed it, he still couldn't believe that such a strong ploughing ox had become his own so easily, and said in a trembling voice: "Ling Jun, this ploughing ox has really been rewarded to me?" ”

Ying Jiang smiled and said, "The pastor has already been registered, what else do you have to worry about?" Take it home! ”

His people shouted excitedly: "Xie Lingjun! ”

He turned to the city gate and saluted and shouted, "Thank you, Your Majesty! Your Majesty Long live! Great Qin 10,000 years! ”

The people in the audience were boiling and shouted, "Lingjun, I want to participate!" I want to participate! ”

Seeing that the people below were so excited, Li Si bowed down and praised: "Your Majesty is wise! It's just ten ploughing cattle and dozens of livestock that make Qianshou feel His Majesty's benevolence, and the ministers admire it! ”

The crowd also praised one after another.

I curled the corners of my mouth and joked, "It seems that this is more effective than the Qin Ziqi and the Four Classics Song that I promoted!" ”

Feng Zheng glanced at Yu He, obviously still holding on to him, and said happily: "Qianshou doesn't know the righteousness and attaches importance to small interests, Your Majesty is pleased with small benefits, and then knows the righteousness, you will get twice the result with half the effort!" ”

I nodded, and said in a deep voice: "The people of the world have been suffering for too long, a ploughing cow can make them cheer, I have not done enough, not only to let Qianshou be fed and clothed, but also to enrich their spiritual life, if one day Qianshou can no longer worry about eating and pursue spiritual satisfaction, Daqin will have a qualitative transformation!" ”

Everyone shouted in unison: "Ministers are taught!" ”

I glanced at Tao Yao and Li Shiyun, the two of them said goodbye and ran a few feet away hand in hand, and they were looking at the grand scene below excitedly with the battlements of the city wall, the two stood together like sisters, talking and laughing, I don't know what they were discussing.

I smiled slightly, it seems that I don't have to worry about the relationship between the two of us for the time being until I have an heir.

Hu Hai was shouting on the sidelines, cheering for the people below, quite excited.

After the end of the Qushui Liuzhen, the people of Xianyang were still immersed in an atmosphere of excitement, eagerly discussing today's grand occasion, and the ten people who received the reward of ploughing cattle became the focus of envy of everyone, and kept receiving praise from everyone.

A sturdy ploughing ox is enough to make the poor live a better life than others, who doesn't envy it!
