Tang Dynasty good brother-in-law

Chapter 962

On the first day after the school was built, classes were not held inside the house, but outside.

"The first lesson we have to learn is etiquette. This etiquette is too profound to explain in detail. Let's explain this etiquette in the simplest way. People always have to eat, people always have to travel, and people need to have a house to live in. So let's start with eating. start."

A Taoist priest from Datang acted as the teacher of the first class.

Tables that had just been made of logs were laid out one by one, some with chopsticks and bowls on them, and some with knives and forks.

"Don't use your hands to grab food. These are called chopsticks, and they have been used by the people of Tang Dynasty for thousands of years. If these chopsticks are paired with a spoon, they can solve all kinds of food."

"This is called a knife and fork. This is a noble tableware specially designed by our Tang people for the Roman emperor and Roman nobles. It ended the habit of Roman nobles eating with their hands."

"First of all, wash your hands when eating. Why wash your hands, wash off the dirt on your hands, and treat the food you are about to eat with a grateful heart. Food comes from the sky, the earth, and the ocean. We should be grateful to the sky, the earth, and the ocean... "

The Taoist priest couldn't continue talking as long as he talked here, and the onlookers were a little rioted.

A big discussion involving thousands of people started.

The reason is that a veteran asked: "So, chopsticks or a knife and fork, which one is a better tool for eating."

Some people say that in order to resist the Roman invasion, they fought with the Romans for more than 500 years. The Romans only learned how to use tools from grasping food with their hands. Why not learn to use chopsticks that have been used for thousands of years.

According to the research of Tang historians, Chinese chopsticks should have existed in the middle of the Shang Dynasty.

Because according to some historical records, King Zhou used chopsticks.

After tossing for a long time, the knife and fork were taken away, leaving only the chopsticks.

The next substitution was not because of a technical problem, but because the priest was already very tired.

"I come from the Ci'en Temple in Chang'an. I used to be a sinner. My crime lies in greed. We will talk about the problem of greed in the future. What we want to talk about now is to solve the problem of eating. If we want to eat well and eat well, then we need more food. The earth has given us food, and we should repay the earth.”

The school was giving lectures, and people from the Tang Dynasty gathered in the Taoist temple, and the leaders were in a meeting.

"I think there is wheat here. Although it seems a little different from ours, it is also wheat. The first step should be to build the simplest blacksmith workshop. We can make plows and various tools to increase food production. The tricks of the gods in the old Rome city are all deceitful, and there is nothing better than food and clothing."

It was a monk who spoke, a monk in his 30s.

In Chang'an Miefo, he built river channels and roads in Jingyang for three years, and then worked in a large farm for another three years. According to the laws of the Tang Dynasty, monks and Taoists can marry wives, so he has his own home.

This time away from Chang'an, he just wanted to earn enough atonement points.

Or if he is still working in a large farm, he will need at least five years to be free. If he comes to the Mediterranean Sea, once he has meritorious service, the whole family can become free people, and he can continue to be a monk.

Another one spoke. This one was also wearing a monk's robe, but he had a scar on his face. He used to be a young general of the rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty. He later lived in a temple in order to escape. His crime was even more serious. If you don't come to the Mediterranean Sea, you don't have to think about becoming a free civilian again for the rest of your life.

The monk said: "You can raise sheep on the grassland and farm in enclosures. I think it will become very rich in a year or two. My only worry is, what if someone is jealous after getting rich?"

"Fight, we can train a family guard team. The folk customs here are tough, and the slack training can at least reach the combat effectiveness of the second-class guards of the Tang Dynasty. We can do this...

Wood Waley took people north, he was going to the Vikings.

Although he was once an enemy with the Vikings, but now he hopes to become an ally. The Vikings can provide many excellent sailors, and the Vikings are masters of fishing and excellent fighters.

While working hard for the construction of his hometown in his hometown, Wood is recruiting excellent soldiers for Liumu.

And this time in Chang'an City.

The stones sent by Liu Mu to transport back had not yet approached Chang'an City, and had just arrived at the Ba River to the east of Chang'an before they were stopped by the imperial guards.

Upon receiving the news, Dugu Lanruo rushed to the Tai Chi Palace immediately with her whole family, Aunt Liu who stayed in Chang'an temporarily, the current Concubine Yi Liu Ruyan, Xiao Ling'er, Xie Xing'er and others.

"Sister-in-law, why did you send someone to stop me..."

As soon as she entered the door, Dugu Lanruo spoke hastily, but when the two maids opened the tent, Dugu Lanruo couldn't say anything.

Not only Li Shimin's fourth concubine is here, but there are more than 30 wives of the first rank in Chang'an City sitting here, only saying that they are here to drink tea.

"The news began to spread to Chang'an when the canal boat was changed in Huating. Anyone who wants to know the news will know that your boat has not passed Luoyang Chang'an City." Changsun Wugou gave Dugu Lanruo an explanation.

"It's just some..." Dugu Lan wanted to say it was a stone, but at this moment, she really couldn't open her eyes and talk nonsense.

Concubine Yang handed Liu Mu's letter to Dugu Lanruo with a smile on her face: "The son-in-law has a letter, do you want my sister to go back to the back room to read the letter first, and then come and have tea together?"

Dugu Lanruo didn't avoid anyone, she opened the letter and read it quickly.

Concubine Yang might not understand this letter even if she showed it to Concubine Yang.

They are all simplified characters. In the eyes of Tang people, such characters are basically lacking strokes or even scribbled characters.Dugu Lanruo could understand it, because she had read too much and was used to the simplified characters.

After reading the letter, Dugu Lanruo laughed a few steps and walked to Changsun Wugou and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, it's not because I don't want to part with it, but because these stones may not contain jade, and if there is jade, it may not be a good jade. The reason why I sent these back is that the ten thousand elite guards of Shence need to go to war because they can't survive for years, so these are Subsidize the families of the soldiers who want to exchange money for the expedition, and pay for some ordnance to the ordnance workshop.”

"So, what's the pricing?"

This kind of jade has already been cut, and the jade master in the palace did not give a price. Rare is the most expensive. This kind of jade is extremely rare, and there is no complete evaluation standard for the time being, so there is no way to set a price.

A sly smile appeared on the corner of Dugu Lanruo's mouth.

The smile was noticed by the eldest grandson Wugou, but the eldest grandson Wugou just sat quietly holding the teacup.

Dugu Lanruo said: "How about this, find a balance. Then put stones on one side and silver coins on the other side, and the weight will count. As for the stone after cutting, it is still ordinary jade, or who is really lucky? Well, it depends on one's luck to get a piece of Supreme Emperor Jade."
