Hanbo

Chapter 68
Entering the hall, the meritorious officials, lieutenants, generals and other military officers lined up in the west and stood facing the east; civil servants lined up in the east from the prime minister down and stood facing the west.

To put it simply, it is Wu Zuo Wen You, Huo Shan's position is naturally on the left, although he is a young mansion order, but in this case, his identity is the champion.

Therefore, his position is also very forward, next to Wei Qing, the second position.

In terms of achievements, he has no achievements. According to his position, he should be a civil servant, so he can only be a champion.

According to Hou Wei Shiyi, apart from a few ancestors, no one is taller than him, even Wei Qing now, if Wei Qing is not the great Sima and General, Huo Shan would have to stand at the top.

Huo Shan knew whether he was under the influence of Lao Huo or Liu Che. If this was not in Emperor Wu Dynasty, he would have to stand back even if he was a champion.

This was Huo Shan's third big court meeting, and the first time because he was standing too far in front, Huo Shan was a little frightened, but except for Wei Qing, those generals and captains, no one was willing to stand in front of him.

Now that I've reached this position, I'll just stand there, it's not the first time.

The first time I was frightened, the second time was flat, and the third time I was used to it.

After everyone stood and waited for a while, when the time came, Liu Che arrived, greeted by all the ministers, and then saluted and said hello.

Then the leader Liu Che began to speak, talking about the achievements of last year, talking about the mistakes of last year, and then setting goals for this year and looking forward to the future, and then the first process ended.

Then all the officials took their seats, and then one after another officials came forward to congratulate them, including officials below the princes and kings and above six hundred shi.

Huo Shan fell asleep after listening to this item.

I didn't sleep all night, I was already sleepy, and then I listened to their lectures, and then...

After this item is completed, the hour is about the same, just right.

Then comes the next item, the banquet, the emperor gives a banquet to entertain all the ministers!

Thank you for your hard work in the past year, and I will continue to work hard this year.

Starting from Wei Qing, then Shi Qing, then Ni Kuan, Huo Shan, etc., one by one in order of rank, each with nine cups of wine.

Everyone drank in one gulp, only Huo Shan put on a show, um, kids, you can't drink.

This set of procedures is very strict, and the censors will stare at it, and if there is a little bit of etiquette wrong, they will write it down.

At that time, Gaozu was directly dragged out. At that time, the etiquette was initially established, and all the officials were killed by gangs. It is not so serious now.

After the emperor's banquet is completed, the last item is the big event.

Report on last year's work and set goals for this year.

This time was Huo Shan's bedtime, but he was the only one who dared to sleep during the court meeting, but he was the only one who dared to sleep during the court meeting.

Huo Shan slept until the evening when the Great Court Conference ended, Huo Shan woke up just as the Great Court Conference was about to end, very punctual.

Then all the ministers left one after another, went home to sleep, stayed up all day and all night, and had to cheer up, so as not to show the slightest fatigue, at this time they were already terribly exhausted.

Huo Shan naturally also went back to his residence, he originally wanted to look for them after the Great Court Council ended, but now, Huo Shan was afraid to bring up this matter, it was some old men who died suddenly in a fit of excitement.

So let's invite you when you come to pay New Year's greetings in two days.

.........

In the morning of the second day, Huo Shan got up early, and there were many people who were going to congratulate him on the second day of the junior high school, and they were all big shots.

Liu Che, Wei Qing, Gongsun He, Liu Ju, Shi Qing, Ni Kuan, and Huo Guang.

There are more in the third year of junior high school, big figures like Sang Hongyang, and old people in the Weihuo Group like Gongsun Ao need to visit.

There is no need to go out to visit on the fourth day of the lunar new year, and wait for colleagues to come to visit, and then send a return gift to colleagues.

On the fifth, sixth, and seventh days of the first day, officials from the Shaofu, Lao Huo's old department, subordinates of the Weihuo Group, and probably the families of the children of Huo Shan's Yulin Army came to visit.

There is no way, the first time you celebrate the new year at home, it means that you have come out of the palace, it is a kind of alternative opening, which is equivalent to saying hello to everyone.

So in the first year, you still have to visit everyone, and next year, you only need to visit the first few people.

The rest just wait for them to come to visit, or give each other gifts in return.

This kind of Chinese New Year is a good day for a big man like Huo Shan to receive gifts.

But it also depends on how you charge. If you are too greedy, you can make a lot of money. If you are not greedy, you can make a small profit. If you are more generous, you may have to pay.

Basically, everyone just doesn't lose, doesn't earn, and the gift in return is almost equal to the gift.

It is impossible for a person like Ni Kuan to pay for it. His family is 'not rich', and after receiving gifts, he will basically return a book that he copied, or a calligraphy and painting that he wrote. This is the benefit of fame.

It is also impossible for Huo Shan to pay, this does not mean that he is greedy, nor does it mean that he has the reputation of Ni Kuan.

It's because Huo Shan has a few seniors with great careers. After the congratulations, the basic returns are five or six times or even more than ten times.

So, Huo Shan not only didn't pay, but also made a lot of money.

This is all Huo Shan's experience in the past three years. When he was in the palace, although no one gave him gifts, he still went to congratulate Liu Che and Wei Qing every year.

Like now, Huo Shan is walking towards the palace with Xiao Lizi and Sun Shang. Except for Xiao Lizi who has a name card in his hand, the other two are empty-handed.

And Huo Shan's congratulatory gift to Liu Che was in the Shaofu in the palace, those gifts for health that Huo Shan had found.

To give Liu Che a gift, you have to give these things, and other people don't lack them. These things are thousands of times better than other gifts.

And these things, for Huo Shan, did not cost much money.

When Huo Shan came to Xuanshi Hall of Weiyang Palace, he was relieved to see that there was no one else.

Every year, he gets the top spot. Although he lives outside the palace this year, he can't let it go to other people, not even the crown prince.

So Huo Shan got up early in the morning, and ran in before the palace gate opened.

Huo Shan entered the hall, ran to Liu Che and Wei Zifu, knelt down and kowtowed, and shouted loudly:

"Grandson congratulates my great-uncle and great-aunt, wishing my great-uncle and great-aunt all the best, everything goes well, longevity and good health, and always smiling."

"Haha, well said, Zihou get up quickly!"

Liu Che stroked his beard, very happy, and Wei Zifu next to him was also full of smiles.

"Zihou took the lead again this year."

Wei Zifu sighed, but Liu Che was more interested in another matter:
"What gift did Zihou bring here this year?"

This kind of thing is usually not asked, but Huo Shan brings too many weird things every year, so Liu Che usually asks.

Huo Shan beckoned, and after a while a waiter came over with a list and handed it to Huo Shan.

Huo Shan took two steps forward, ran up to the high platform, and sat on the ground between the two of them.

He opened the directory and said:
"Granduncle, great aunt, look."

The two lowered their heads and moved forward, only to see that it read:

Twenty thousand-year-old ginseng and one hundred 500-year-old ginseng;
Five hundred catties of shark fin, five hundred catties of abalone;
Five hundred bird's nests, fifty catties of cordyceps sinensis.

After the two of them read it, they had some doubts on their faces, because they had never seen these things before, not only had they never seen them, they had never heard of them.

"Zihou, what is this?"

Huo Shan crossed his legs and said:
"Uncle, don't worry, listen to me explain to you."

"This ginseng is produced in Baishan and other places in Wuhuan, Xianbei. It is also produced in Liaodong and Liaoxi, but it is not as good as Baishan."

"This ginseng looks like a human, with many beards. It is a sacred product for nourishing the body. It is best at nourishing people's spirit and spirit. It is so thin that even a dying person can hang his life."

Huo Shan pointed to the thousand-year-old picture, and then made a gesture with his hand.

"And this thousand-year-old ginseng is the best among ginsengs."

"Thousand-year ginseng, as the name suggests, has lived for thousands of years. It has opened up spiritual wisdom, opened up the creation of heaven and earth, and obtained the essence of the sun and the moon. It can hide from the earth and confuse people's hearts.

When Huo Shan talked about this, he deliberately sighed and said:

"Wu Huanyi spent a lot of effort to get them from over there!"

After the two listened, they were a little dazed, and then they were shocked.

"There is such a strange thing in the world? This is a divine grass!"

Huo Shan was afraid that he would think wrong, so he quickly explained:

"This substance can prolong life, but you can't eat too much, you can't bear it if you eat too much, the medicine is too strong."

Liu Che nodded and asked hastily:

"What about the latter?"

"This abalone is a kind of shellfish, and the shark's fin is the fin of a shark. They are all for nourishment."

These two are nothing to talk about, Huo Shan automatically skipped them.

"And this bird's nest comes from the cliff of Zhuya. The bird's nest, as the name suggests, is the nest of swallows."

"When swallows are about to lay eggs, they will build nests, but because they are often eager to build nests, they cough up blood and mud to build nests to raise young birds. Taste."

After hearing this story, Wei Zifu sighed in his heart.

"The last Cordyceps is the most miraculous. It is a worm in winter and a grass in summer. It is produced in Huangzhong, Hetao and other places. It is a holy product for health."

With so many sacred objects for health cultivation, Liu Che was so excited when he heard that, he wished he could take them all into his arms.

Liu Che directly opened his mouth and issued an edict to ask all places to donate these things.

Huo Shan didn't stop him either, he originally wanted to spread the word, and it would be better to have Liu Che spread it.

He makes these things, one is that these are really good things, and the other is that some people have left messages recently, saying that places such as Liaodong and the South are tasteless, and it is useless to keep them, and it is a waste of money.

Huo Shan didn't even need to think about it, it must be the news from the Confucianism in Shandong.

Because after a new place is settled, it must find a way to stabilize and develop, which requires money and materials, and Shandong is close to both places, so...

With the two things of ginseng and bird's nest, not to mention vigorous development, at least no one will say that they will return it again, which makes people angry.

Huo Shan looked up and saw Liu Ju's family entered the hall, he immediately stood up and saluted:
"Granduncle, great-aunt, I'm leaving first."

"go Go."

Liu Che waved his hand, he knew what Huo Shan was thinking, he must be driving the others to Wei Qing's place, this happened every year.

"Hello, Uncle Prince!"

"Ah, hello Zihou..."

"Goodbye, Uncle Prince!"

After finishing speaking, Huo Shan thumped and ran away.

　Thank you for my [-] rewards for being the second whitest in the world, thank you Mr. K for your [-] rewards, thank you! ! !
