Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1373

The twelfth lunar month is coming soon.The earth is covered in silver, which is extraordinarily enchanting.

Shao Shude, who returned to Beiping, has been in a state of receiving officials, chieftains, and generals from all walks of life, almost without stopping.

When I have free time, I go to see the two newborn children.

In September, Empress He of Tang Shuxian gave birth to a daughter.

In October, Jieyu Chong gave birth to a son.

This month, Yu Lujiangu is going to give birth.

In fact, these children were the seeds sown before the expedition last year. Whether there will be any children born next year depends on the stomachs of Yue Liduo and Pu Sa Nu sisters.

At his age, the physical pleasure brought by playing with women is far inferior to the psychological pleasure brought by the desire to conquer.

Fortunately, in this era, women have the obligation to satisfy men, but men do not have the obligation to satisfy women, otherwise Shao Sheng would be a little embarrassed.

How to do it?After much deliberation, Shao Shude decided to turn on the gear and artificially adjust the speed of the inner and outer wheels in order to turn.

They even killed a yellow dog "cruelly" according to the custom, calling it "yellow sheep", and sacrificed to the gods—the gods who need blood to eat, Shao Shude always felt a little problematic.

Shao Shude got to know it a bit, and the barbarians in central Guizhou that Zhe Fangai met, restrained each other when they were rewarding officials and titles, and played their tricks very well, which shows that they have put in a lot of effort in advance.Even if he comes to do it, that's all.

Simply put, when turning, the speed of the inner and outer wheels cannot be the same.

That's not the most surprising part.In fact, what made Zhe Fangmi laugh was that everyone wore a bearskin hat on their heads.

Well, a group of "old women" in the palace used bottles as bottles, put sacrifices in basins, and worshiped the Kitchen God.

The Shao family dynasty, to put it bluntly, has no background. They are all bumpkins and high-ranking people, and they still retain many customs of being ordinary people.

The gears are made of metal, which is more durable.And with gears, it is natural to have bearings.

Zheling Gongyuan town Eyue, the father and daughter have not seen each other for many years, and they have always missed each other.

Sometimes she always wonders if she is too talkative?As a queen, she has the right to refuse such people as Yue Liduo, Yu Lujiangu and even Zhang Hui from entering the palace.

As the saying goes, five-flowered horses and golden fur—the top fur such as ermine fur is definitely within the category of thousand gold.

The ancestors of the Han people were actually formed in this way.

Chen Cheng nodded, saluted and left.

Zhe Fangai reached out to take it, feeling a little moved.

"Northern Qi Taiwei Xu Xianxiu will have to give Qi Shenwu an ermine fur robe..." Feng Guanqing, the servant of the Ministry of Rites, said sourly.

The Xia Dynasty inherited too much Tang customs, and the warriors certainly didn't have much resistance to fur hats.Moreover, it was made of bear leather. The Shaofu specially selected good-looking leather from the captured trophies, carefully cut and sewed it, and it was very valuable.

He is obviously a privy envoy, so he can stay in the capital to enjoy the blessings, but for the sake of his son-in-law, he still works hard in the south.The day before his death, he was still patrolling Junzhen, actively contacting Zhao Kuangning, planning to go south to conquer the Lei brothers in Langzhou.

"Chen Xiang, there are still rewards." He clapped his hands, and Xiao Huangmen came over carrying bamboo baskets one by one.

Other officials above the fifth rank also received rewards, and everyone was beaming with joy.

"The middle of the capital must not be left unattended." Zhe Fangai was a little moved, but she still gave up.

"En." The queen buried her face in Shao Shude's arms and replied softly.

The emperor is also a human being, with different temperaments, and when he met a stingy one, he would not only be given a small salary, but also a few rewards, which made people very embarrassing.

Whenever I get something good, I always share it with everyone.Chen Cheng has lost count of how many times he has received rewards.

Time is not forgiving!

It just so happened that he had the top lubricating oil at this time: seal oil—whales are not easy to catch, but seals are still easy to catch, and seal oil is a high-grade lubricating oil that is not inferior to whale oil.

"Why don't you accompany me to patrol the Bohai Sea next year?" Shao Shude said while grabbing his wife's hand.

As the name suggests, it was passed on by the barbarians.Among the murals in Dunhuang, there are many portraits wearing fan hats - "Nobles and civilians like to wear hats (mainly leather hats or felt hats), while wives wear hairpins and hairpins with narrow sleeves."

It's cold today, and the silver saddle soldiers didn't wear cold-forged steel armor, but sweaters and leather armor. The people in the front row even wore whale leather armor.

"That's good." Shao Shude said: "Next year I will attack Bohai Sea. Then there will be nothing in the north, and the south will not be worthy of my conquest. It will be much easier. Then, let's go to Guangchengze, Ruzhou to live for a while."

Of course, strictly speaking, there were fur hats in the Tang Dynasty, which were called "Fan hats" at that time.

Ordinary Forbidden Army warriors are not qualified to wear bearskin hats!
After the carriage came to the end, it stopped slowly.

On the day of the twelfth lunar month, pork wine is also used as a sacrifice to the Kitchen God.

It is said that the queen is in Beiping to supervise the country, and her affairs are remarkable.

Chen Cheng and others who had finished receiving their fur robes were about to leave when they were stopped by Pugu Cheng'en.

In the early years of the Tang Dynasty, Emperor Taizong of Tang knew that officials' salaries were low, so he often gave banquets, and took this opportunity to reward officials with property as an important part of their salaries.

That's not to mention, Shao Shude also donated what he had been learning with the princes and princesses from far away to the bank, and awarded him the post of team leader.

"I'm afraid I have finished reading it now." Pugu Cheng'en said.

"Twenty tails of salmon and five bundles of kelp." Pugu Cheng'en said with a smile, "Please also write a receipt from Prime Minister Chen, otherwise the sage will be able to expose my skin."

Bearings do not have to be ball bearings, in fact sliding bearings are also fine.

Every time she heard that her husband was messing around outside, she got very angry.But after her husband came back, these inadvertent little cares and warmth always wiped out her grievances.Then he calmed down, acquiescing to the wild women he brought back one after another.

"The sage went to the military parade today?" Chen Cheng asked casually after signing the signature.

It is also good to give things today, and sometimes reward women, to do things for such an emperor, that is really motivated.

"My husband has this heart, and my concubine is already very satisfied." Zhe Fangai lightly stroked Shao Shude's face, and said: "Letting Erlang take care of himself outside and exercise more will be good for him in the future. Regarding matters in the court, everyone The Prime Minister has handled it very well, and it is enough for my concubine to help take care of it."

"Chen Xiang, the sage said that the winter is bitter and cold, and all the officials have to go to the court early in the morning. It is really hard work. I give you fur clothes and fur hats, which can be worn on the day of the meeting." Pugu Cheng'en smiled like a chrysanthemum, full of Said flatteringly.

And these activities are also very effective in assimilating Fanhu.

"You are already a queen, some things can be left to the palace people, why do you have to do it yourself?" Shao Shu pulled his wife to sit down, handed a cup of hot tea, and said regretfully.

"The ermine fur robe is worth a thousand gold." Chen Cheng stroked the soft and thick fur, and said with a smile: "Last year, I got more than 3 skins from Khitan and Bohai, and there are not many suitable for official robes. The sage They are also carefully selected and bestowed on the ministers, such a benevolent monarch is rare in ancient times."

Zhao Guangfeng, the servant under the door, also got an official robe made of ermine fur, and said after hearing the words: "This fur is indeed worth a thousand gold, I am ashamed to accept it."

This force has now expanded to more than [-] people.In terms of combat strength, with the same number of people, there probably isn't a single imperial army that is their opponent.Martial arts, equipment, and morale are all inferior.

The sage really has nothing to say to his subjects and warriors.

At this time, Shao Shude had indeed just inspected the sudden generals and other troops, and had issued Zhengdan rewards in advance.

What Yueli Duo!Although he just played last night, he can't remember it anymore. He just wants to be with his wife now.

After the news of Zhe Zongben's death came, she cried for a long time.

Really worked hard.

Shao Shude doesn't believe in this, but he will not stop this kind of traditional custom, after all, it is quite interesting.

After finishing the work, he took the carriage with Queen Zheshi again and inspected the silver saddle straight.

Chen Cheng laughed and said, "It's easy to say."

For example, early in the morning, Empress Zheshi led the palace people to get busy with sacrificial objects.

It's useless to envy officials below the fifth rank, just buy it yourself.There are a lot of leather and even ready-made fur clothes in Changxia Commercial Bank, just spend money.

He had to give him a green weasel fur robe, which was actually not bad, but the color of the court clothes is still white, which is not as good as the ermine fur.

So everyone cheered.Everyone finished the matter at hand as quickly as possible, and then the government office was sealed and closed.Before leaving, there is still a wave of welfare essentials.

"Maybe it's because I have nothing to do in the palace and my heart is empty." Zhe Fangai said.

******
As the new year approaches day by day, officials are becoming more and more slack, and their enthusiasm for going to work is not very high.In view of this, Shao Shude simply announced the holiday three days in advance.

"What's so difficult about this!" Shao Shude said: "Let Erlang come back to supervise the country, and we husband and wife will travel together, wouldn't it be beautiful?"

This is Shao Shude's bad taste, which cannot be understood by outsiders.

After the death of Zhe Zongben, Zhe Silun became the second king of Qinghe County.

The embarrassing thing is that they can only go straight and cannot turn.Fortunately, to review the troops, it is enough to go straight.

Zhe Congyuan is an outstanding child in the third generation of the Zhe family.He studied in the palace since he was a child, and his literary skills and martial arts are very popular. The 17-year-old boy is at the time when he is full of energy.

Having such a virtuous wife at the back really reassures him.

Shao Shude once talked with craftsmen specifically about the four-wheeled carriage.He discovered that with the wheels all on one axle, the outer wheel had to travel more than the inner wheel when turning, but two wheels on the same axle could not.

Today, this car is also quite unique, it is a four-wheeled carriage, or a convertible version.

The middle officials in Daxia had no military power, and their prestige plummeted.Not to mention warriors, even the civil officials of foreign courts can't afford to offend, especially those of the level of Zhongshu servant Chen Cheng.

Participation is important.Farming together, celebrating festivals together, harvesting together, and having fun together, the Fanhu group accepted various elements of the main nation, and then influenced and converged with each other.Each tribe, like a trickle, merges into a small stream, and then melts into a big river.

In the Han Dynasty, "five battalions of thousands of riders passed the torch from Duanmen to send the epidemic, and abandoned Luoshui." It can be seen that these folk activities have a long history, and both the palace and the people are very enthusiastic.

"The stove, the sacrifice of the old woman, is honored in the bottle and filled in the basin."

When you meet such a gentleman, just be happy.

The eighth day of December is La Ri.On this day, the palace people made many vajra warriors to chase away the epidemic.

After all, he ordered the palace guard who escorted him home to help carry the gift, and signed the receipt with his own hands.

Zhe Fangai showed a rare smile, and said, "It's neither fish nor fowl."

"My lady, what do you think of the appearance of this army?" On the carriage, Shao Shude asked triumphantly.

Bearings need lubricating oil.

Perfect, everything is there, let's get started.

He is now waiting for the good news to see when the craftsmen will get it out for him.

With first-class national roads, four-wheeled carriages, a means of transportation with a perfect balance of speed and load, must of course be popularized.

Everything starts with his convertible car.
