Every year, the princes of the four towns will bring two hundred younger brothers to the pilgrimage to the song for a routine pilgrimage and work summary, and the draft show girls should also be sent to the palace at this time.

But this is in April, and it's only mid-December.

The child can't wait.

Come to think of it, let's celebrate the Spring Festival!

Zishou didn't know much about the concept of festivals in the Shang Dynasty, but as a descendant of Yan and Huang, the Spring Festival was always to be celebrated.

The Spring Festival in history has a long history, which happened to originate from the ancestor worship activities in the Yin Shang period, and the people after a year of hard work, at the end of the year and the beginning of the year, use their agricultural and hunting harvests to worship their ancestors, in order to thank nature for the gift, this is the "wax sacrifice".

The son was summoned to manage the festival officer who was in charge of the time and calculation of the season, and when asked, in this world that was reset by the system, there was no talk of the Spring Festival, only the wax sacrifice.

It is precisely because the time of the wax festival is not fixed in various places, such as the song in January and Xiqi in February, and it is impossible to unify the activities if it is not fixed, so the princes of all walks of life will wait until April when all places have completed the festival and then come to worship the song.

Zishou sent an edict directly, whether you are in Xiqi or Beihai, in short, give me a song.

Tribute and show girls are naturally indispensable.

...........

At this time, the festival officer is called Wannian.

When he was summoned by the king to inquire, he didn't think there was anything special, thinking that it was the end of the year, and the king asked about the progress of the courtiers' work.

But then after the king issued an edict for the princes to worship in advance, Wan Nian didn't think so.

The ministers of the court and the central government disagreed with this, and the period from the end of the year to January of the following year coincided with the busiest time for the princes.

The Shang Dynasty's tax system was complex, with both the Tian Fu system, which was inherited from the Xia, and the Xintian Fu system, which was built on its own.

For example, the pilgrimage in April every year means that the feudal princes should regularly pay tribute to the Shang Dynasty for local local products, which is aimed at the land endowment of the princes, and the land endowment of the princes is obtained from the land endowment of the people.

At this time, the princes were busy dealing with the field endowment, and they were suddenly asked to come to worship in the song, and they must have been caught off guard.

But is that really the case?

Wan Nian tried to speculate on the intentions of the king of Zhou, who was verified by the courtiers, how could he suddenly change his temperament and embarrass the princes?

He couldn't sleep for several days and nights, and contacted the king of Qi to summon him to inquire about the festival, and finally figured it out.

The festival officer is actually a rather chicken official position.

Because the current festival is not accurate at all.

Wannian still remembers that when the previous festival official handed over to him, he had such an admonition: "If the king asks why the festival is not allowed, you only need to shirk and worship the ancestors to make the festival, and don't .....take responsibility for it yourself."

The festival officer doesn't even have to bear the responsibility, whether it's spring or summer, autumn or winter, it's good to shirk everything to the ancestors, as for what to do in what season, what to do if you do it wrong, that is also the festival set by the ancestors, and it has nothing to do with the festival officials.

At that time, he was dissatisfied for ten thousand years, and he was not in his position, but shirked the responsibility to his ancestors.

He is a young man with ideals and ambitions, but after working hard for a while, he found that the festival is really uncertain, and it is different every year.

Ten thousand years can only watch the chaos of the season, affecting the production of agriculture and animal husbandry, and it has been muddy for a few years.

Today, he woke up suddenly.

If it weren't for the mention of the king, I am afraid that I would have forgotten my original intention, and decades later, like the old festival official, I would use my ancestor to shirk my dereliction of duty and incompetence.

This is a shame on the ancestors!

Thanks to the King of Rings, he woke himself up.

The sudden change of the time of the princes' worship was not a casual move, but a signal that the king wanted to determine the season.

Dashang needed a new calendar, a calendar that could accurately calculate the solar terms and determine the seasons.

Wannian clenched his fists, and the young man with ideals and ambitions is back.

He looked at the sundial and the orifice in the courtyard, which had been left over from when he was trying to calculate the exact seasons, and now it was time to reactivate them.

Maybe it's time to improve it.

"There is only one month left before the princes worship, and this is the deadline given to me by the king. Wan Nian muttered to himself, and as he spoke, he bowed three times in the direction of the palace: "Minister, you will live up to the king's order!"

..........

In a courtyard in the castle of Asahata.

Beibohou Chonghou Hu was overjoyed after receiving the edict of the princes to worship in advance.

Everything is just as he thought before, the king is really a generation of Ming Jun.

He didn't leave to go back to the fiefdom, and directly asked his retainers to go back and give orders to deal with it, and the beauties should choose the most beautiful, and the tributes should be the most expensive.

He even plans to stay in Chaoge for a long time, the king has the heart to purge the princes, why do he have to do it if he has no ability?

Anyway, Fei Lian was awarded the title of Beihai Hou, and the fiefdom of Beibohou was reduced by one-third, and there was no chaos.

Only in Chaoge City can you guess the mind of the king of Zhou!

Just like this early pilgrimage.

The princes did not have enough time to prepare tribute, and if they were not loyal enough, they would definitely be perfunctory at will, and they would shirk the lack of time when the time came.

And the loyal princes, no matter how short the time, will not let their tribute disgrace the king.

Not only that, but due to the urgency of time, the suddenness of the incident, and the busiest time of the year, the princes certainly couldn't bring much of their entourage.

In this way, they are fish and meat to be slaughtered in Chaoge City, and they can't turn up the wind and waves.

As long as the king deliberately rebukes and tempts, and shows his rebellion, he will definitely be arrested by the guards trained by the king himself with thunderous means.

Because there was no personal entourage, the army was thousands of miles away, and it was impossible to resist at all.

Chonghou Hu sighed again and again, it seems that when the king trained the guards half a year ago, he already had this plan, even if the princes have the heart of not being subordinate, they are also the princes of the Great Shang Division, if the army is used, it will definitely cause a sensation, after the news spreads, it will only backfire, and the heirs who are not allowed to stay in the fief will rebel if they don't do anything.

The guards do not have these shortcomings, the scale is not large, but they are elite soldiers, and the momentum of arresting people is small, and it is not easy to leak the news, so they can be slowly drawn.

Sure enough, sure enough....

Chonghou Hu stroked his beard again and again.

.........

Jizhou Hou Mansion.

It is rumored that Jizhou Hou Su has a female Daji, born with the national color and fragrance, dark clouds and sideburns, apricot face and peach cheeks, light spring mountain, delicate willow waist, which is like a begonia drunk moon, pear blossoms with rain, no less than the nine heavens fairy under the Yao Pond.

Anyway, it's very beautiful, and it looks like a fairy.

And Daji is not only beautiful, but also very considerate.

Seeing that his father was worried after receiving the edict, he turned out to be worshipping in advance, and his father did not have time to prepare the show girl and tribute, which would definitely annoy the king.

Daji wants to share his father's worries, thinking of his beauty, why don't he serve the king with his body?

So when she took advantage of Su Hu's drive to Chaoge, she also recruited a car driver and followed.
