Chinese dining table

Chapter 644 Advance and retreat freely
The Shangyuan Festival has just passed, and the people in Chang'an City seem to be sick and lack energy, and all their energy seems to be consumed in the carnival activities of the Shangyuan Festival.

The activities in Chang'an City are not inferior because of the lack of Yunchu. On the contrary, these Tang natives know how to have a happy Shangyuan Festival. For the pursuit of joy, Chang'an people have never been inferior.

In the previous Shangyuan Festival, there would be activities such as lantern mountain and garden tour in Fangshizi. In some special years, the royal family would hold a large-scale water and land dojo in Qujiang to worship the dead souls and worship blood food for the deceased ancestors.

More or less the meaning of some official activities.

Since the food festival in Jinchangfang opened, the people of Chang'an are no longer satisfied with the activities in Jinchangfang. The celebration of the Shangyuan Festival has changed from a few points to a carnival for the whole city.

Only in recent years, people's favorite Nuo dance has gradually been replaced by various Huxuan dances. In order not to let the precious Nuo dance be lost, the Fang family of Nuo dance made more exquisite, more gorgeous, more terrifying and colorful dances. Nuo dance masks, and exaggerated costumes of gods and monsters.

During the Shangyuan Festival, they wandered desperately in various cities and towns, but the result was not good. People prefer to see young men or women in Hu people's costumes dancing Huxuan dance, rather than seeing them wearing fat and heavy clothes. Masked people dance Nuo dance.

"Nuo dance has the ability to remove Ji Naji..."

This was the last cry of Nuowu Fang's family after no one cared about her. Since then, Nuowu has left Chang'an and turned to the countryside.

The women in Chang'an have gradually become more beautiful these years, not because their appearance has changed, but because they are better at dressing up.

Whether it is cosmetics, various decorations, or various new and distinctive clothes, the women in Chang'an are dressed more beautifully than those in other places.

The reason for the above changes in Chang'an City is entirely because the people in Chang'an are too full to eat.

Before Yunchu came, before the rectification of Chang'an City, most of the people in Chang'an ate two meals a day, and the meal at night was definitely rare, because people knew that after dinner, people would go to bed No need to work hard, there is no need to eat so much.

It is different now, because after Wannian County, Chang'an County signed a grain supply contract with many counties in Longyou and Guanzhong, the price of grain in Chang'an City has remained at a low level for a long time, and in the past five years, the craftsmen's Wages have more than tripled.

At the same time, in Wannian, the two counties of Chang'an also imposed certain restrictions on merchants who opened their doors for business. When doing business in Chang'an City, there is a limit on the purchase price of merchants. The birth of this restriction requirement forced those merchants to It is necessary to carry out joint procurement, and use a huge purchase quantity to lower the purchase price and transportation costs.

The result of this is to force those suppliers to form a scale and form industry norms.

As a result, in some counties, Lifang became a supplier of a single product, completely reduced to a vassal of Chang'an.

In this matter, Yunchu didn't think too much about the interests of the merchants, because their interests themselves are astonishing. Doing business in Datang, the benefits are often several times, ten times, or dozens of times. Yunchu has long seen Not pleasing to the eye.

The middleman can make a profit, but not much.

When Liu Rengui, the governor of Xiongjin in Liaodong, returned to Chang'an with his old wife, he first saw a mountain of goods outside the city.

The places closest to the city gate have turned into huge warehouses, where the goods are placed in different categories, and horse-drawn carts and ox carts are constantly transporting the goods from the warehouses into Chang'an City.

After five years of separation, Liu Rengui was very unfamiliar with Chang'an City in front of him.

Looking at Di Renjie who came to greet him, Liu Rengui sighed and said, "Things are different."

Di Renjie said with a smile: "There are slight flaws, but overall it is moving in a good direction. Mr. Liu doesn't have to feel sorry."

A fat man walked past Liu Rengui, and he looked at his fat buttocks and said to Di Renjie, "There are many obese people."

Di Renjie said: "Today's Chang'an people regard fat as beauty. The fat belly on men and the fat on women have now become the appearance of wealth. It is hard to say whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Liu Rengui nodded, threw the reins in his hand to his followers, and entered Chang'an City together with Di Renjie.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Liu Rengui asked, "Has Yunchu not returned from the Western Regions yet?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "When Yunchu returns from the Western Regions, Chang'an City will reach a new level. The big food from afar, and the profits brought by Persian merchants can make up for the loss of His Majesty's move to Luoyang, the eastern capital."

A team of trucks came up from behind, and Liu Rengui avoided the main road and stood on the side of the road waiting for the trucks to pass by. He could see clearly that the trucks were full of grain.

A grain sack on a carriage was torn, and yellow wheat protruded from the opening, and some were scattered.

Liu Rengui reminded the coachman with a loud voice, and the coachman found a rope to tie the breach, and walked towards Liu Rengui.

Some grains of wheat remained on the ground.

Liu Rengui squatted down and picked up the scattered wheat grains, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his arms, and said to the curious Di Renjie, "Arrogance and lust are bad habits."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "Just wait for Mr. Liu to sit in Chang'an and reverse this trend."

Liu Rengui: "You have used so many connections to transfer this old man from Baekje to Chang'an, what do you want to do?"

Di Renjie said: "It's better to strike first, and then to suffer disaster. We must send you to His Majesty before His Majesty has decided who will be the garrison in Chang'an.",

Liu Rengui laughed and said, "I hate being an official. Do you think your life will be easier after I stay behind in Chang'an?"

Di Renjie said with a smile: "We need someone who is sincerely good for Chang'an City to be the guardian of Chang'an."

"After all the calculations, only the old man is suitable?"

"We don't know if other people are suitable or not. We only know that after you stay in Chang'an, the worst result is to be scolded by you."

Liu Rengui looked at Wen Rou and said: "I haven't seen you for five years, and you have developed to such a point.",

Di Renjie sighed and said: "This is already the limit of our ability. In order to let you come to Chang'an, Yunchu persuaded Mr. Ying and Mrs. Wen gently. We accepted the oracle bone inscription made by Li Yifu's concubine and guaranteed Xu Jingzong's interests in Chang'an were not harmed.

The most important thing is--His Royal Highness the Crown Prince sought to stay in Chang'an several times, but was rejected by His Majesty, so His Highness had no choice but to settle for the next best thing, and suggested that His Majesty appoint Liu Gong as the Chang'an left-behind.

It can be said that what we have done with all our strength is still a trivial matter for Datang. "

Standing in the cold wind, Liu Rengui looked up at the imperial city at the end of Zhuque Avenue, Miyagi, and sighed, "What a prosperous place in the world."

After finishing speaking, he said to Di Renjie: "I won't see the prince, so don't you come to see me frequently."

When Di Renjie saw Liu Rengui get into the carriage, he raised his hands in a bow, thanking him for his support.

Liu Rengui would not stand on anyone's side. In other words, he had his roots in the emperor. If he had any request, it was nothing more than giving the people a happy and healthy world.

Liu Rengui's carriage merged into the traffic on Zhuque Street. His carriage was very ordinary, and Chang'an City would not change just because it carried Liu Rengui.

"My Tang Dynasty will not change!"

Li Zhi sat on a chair with his feet in the warm embrace of the giant bear.

Sun Simiao took his hand away from Li Zhi's pulse, and said with a smile: "I don't know if there is any change in the Tang Dynasty, but your majesty's health is getting worse."

Li Zhi was puzzled and said: "How could this be? I still feel refreshed recently, why did Sun Zhenren say such things?"

Sun Simiao said: "Compared to last year, His Majesty's body is much heavier, oh, at least twenty catties heavier..."

Li Zhi raised his leg and kicked the giant bear and said, "It's you, the bastard who became fat and lazy, and I was also implicated by you."

Sun Simiao was puzzled and said: "This kind of bear animal, after eating and drinking enough, sleeps soundly. People eat more and less energy to prolong their lives. If it falls on humans, it is a taboo and a fatal act."

Li Zhi said a little irritably: "Sun Zhenren doesn't have any medicine for me to take here, can I get rid of all these troubles?"

Sun Simiao laughed loudly and said: "The old Taoist also wants to have such a method, but unfortunately, there is no, but the Imperial Medical Office, which His Majesty strongly supports, has received many good news in recent years, and their achievements will far surpass the old Taoist in the future.

If His Majesty can continue to fully support the Queen's establishment of the Maternity and Infant Clinic, His Majesty's achievements in medicine will also far exceed those of the experienced. "

Wu Mei, who stood by, sighed and said, "What Sun Zhenren said is very true, but our Tang Dynasty has thousands of miles across, even if it is my palace, it is difficult to take care of all the women and babies in the world."

Sun Simiao laughed and said: "How can there be one thing that can be accomplished overnight in this world? It is nothing more than sitting up from now on, as a watch for all generations, and doing it from generation to generation. One day, this good governance will benefit my Great Tang People."

Prince Li Hong, who was waiting on the other side, hurriedly said: "What Sun Zhenren said is that such good governance naturally needs to be continued from generation to generation."

For this family, Sun Simiao didn't have much affection for them. If Li Si hadn't pressed his head against his stomach this time and forced him to come over, Sun Simiao would really not be willing to enter this palace.

The killing here is too heavy, and the bloody blood doesn't match him.

It was Prince Li Hong's idea to invite Sun Simiao to check the emperor's body. He hoped that his father would be in good health.

Now it seems that his father's physical condition is not very optimistic. Li's ancestral wind disease also did not let his father off, and there are faint signs of an attack.

Wu Mei's physical condition couldn't be better. This woman is not to mention healthy, and she is pregnant again.

Judging from the current pulse condition, the child's sitting in the palace is very stable.

"Zhen, I want to cultivate more in the future, and the queen should worry more about the things in the court. For ordinary trivial matters, don't disturb my cultivation."

Li Zhi looked at the queen indifferently and said.

Wu Mei shook her head and said: "I'm afraid of making too many mistakes, there is already the sound of a hen in the court hall."

Li Zhi sneered and said: "This is my royal affair, anyone who talks too much will be punished."

Li Hong saw his father, queen, and queen giving way to each other, and a strange emotion suddenly rose in his heart.

Now the prison in Chang'an is overcrowded, most of them are members of the Li clan, at this moment, the emperor's father is sick, it should be the time for the empress to kill.
