Martial Arts: Start with 100,000 Xiliang Cavalry

In a lively and cheerful atmosphere, the New Year comes quietly.

This is the first New Year in Dong'an after the founding of the People's Republic of China, which is of great significance.In addition, just after the big victory, from top to bottom, everyone is very happy.

Especially the ordinary people in the north, they have spent more than half a year under the rule of Dong'an, and all policies and benefits have been implemented almost, and they have enjoyed many benefits.

In the south, because it has just been laid down not long ago, the current focus is still on rebuilding the damaged cities. The lives of ordinary people are not as stable as in the north, but compared to the previous week, they have been greatly improved.

At present, the most prosperous place in the country is naturally none other than the capital, Jinghai.

In the evening of New Year's Eve, many people went out for a walk together. They all heard that the newly installed "lights" on the street would be activated today, and wanted to "see the beauty".

The common people have a strong acceptance of the various novelty gadgets launched by the Academy of Engineering.Big merchants with quick minds are even seeking to cooperate with the Academy of Engineering in order to obtain the right to sell novelty products.

However, these requests were basically rejected. The Academy of Engineering still rarely participates in commercial cooperation with the private sector, and the development products are mainly used in public construction.

Even for profitable products in the future, Su Yuan had discussed with Lu Wuyou before that he planned to set up a national store to undertake and sell them, so as to keep the price as low as possible and benefit the people.

Right now, the streets are full of people. They look at the pole-shaped street lamps on the side of the street, and they are all waiting for the moment when it lights up.

Su Yuan is in the control center at the moment, and he still wants to personally participate in this important moment.

There is a wrench in front of him, which controls the power supply of Central Avenue. As long as he pulls it down, the street lights will turn on.

"It's almost time."

Su Yuan looked out of the window, the sun had already set and the sky was getting dark.

"Your Majesty, it's fine."

"Ah."

Su Yuan frustrates his hand, holds down the wrench, and presses down hard.

Kakaka...

As the wrench fell, the street lamps on Zhongyang Street in Jinghai City lit up one by one.

The power of these lights is not very high, and the brightness is limited, but when there are enough lights, the whole street will still become brightly lit.

The people waiting on the street cried out in surprise when they saw this scene.

"Wow! It's really bright!"

"This... is amazing..."

"My God...is it still night?"

"Long live Your Majesty!
"

"Now night is the same as day!"

"Mother, this is amazing, how did you do it?"

"Mother doesn't know either... When you go to school next year, the master will teach. Then you can tell mother, okay?"

"it is good!

"

The bright night makes people extremely happy. Some merchants have already set up night market goods, and the whole long street is very lively.

The literati and poets gathered together, recited poems and recited poems, and lamented the magic of electric lights.

The people of Su Yuan were in the control center, they could hear the cheers of the people in the distance, and they were very moved in their hearts.

It's time for electricity...

With the popularization of electric lights, all kinds of electrical appliances will develop rapidly in the future.

I'm afraid it won't be long before he really lives a modern life as he expected. …

This was unimaginable at the beginning of his time travel.

At that time, he thought he would maintain the ancient standard of living for the rest of his life.

But looking back now, the era he traveled through was not too far away in ancient times.

The development of this world is closer to the Ming and Qing Dynasties than the Qin and Han Dynasties... In such an era, through integration with the outside world, coupled with the assistance of the Summoning Talisman... shortening the process of entering the modern world by decades is not a problem at all .

Su Yuan thought, maybe when others reach middle age, they will be able to play some simple computer games at home...

Leaving from the control center, he returned home, where important people had already gathered.

There was old housekeeper Yang Zhen, and Lu Wuyou.After the latter killed his relatives righteously, he was now alone, so Su Yuan naturally invited him to participate in the New Year's Eve dinner.

Zhen Miao, Zhou Shu, and Tang Ziyu were naturally there, and among the summoned characters, Zhao Yun, Li Yuanba, Xun He, Mei Lan Zhuju and others who often met with Su Yuan were also there.

Su Yuan didn't take back the summoned characters. After getting along for so long, in his opinion, these people are real people with flesh and blood, even his family members.

His other very close confidant, Chu Changning, his bodyguard when he was in Beifeng City, was not there.Chu Changning has his own family, so he must be with his family at this time.

Two long tables have been set up in the big yard, and some bowls are placed on the tables, but no one is seated yet, they are all busy with work.

Li Yuanba and Zhao Yun were posting couplets, and the couplets were written by Xun Yu, whose calligraphy is the best, so naturally this matter should be entrusted to him.

The last three in plum, orchid, bamboo, and chrysanthemum were cutting paper at the stone table in the veranda. Since Su Yuan came to the throne, they have done more things by themselves.After all, Su Yuan now has a prominent status and extraordinary strength, and the enemies in the country have been wiped out. I really can't think of anyone else who can assassinate him.

As for the elder sister Mei Jian, she is not interested in this matter, and is currently receiving Zhen Miao's instruction in martial arts.She still wants to improve her cultivation as soon as possible, and strive to step into the realm of a master as soon as possible.

Su Yuan came to the kitchen, where Zhou Shu and her two maids, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue, were busy.

One of the two little girls was sitting in front of the stove to add fire, and the other was washing vegetables by the sink. Zhou Shu rolled up his sleeves and cut potatoes in front of the eucalyptus board with a kitchen knife.

Seeing Su Yuan coming in, the two little girls hurriedly wanted to salute, but Su Yuan raised his hand to stop them.

"Busy you."

"What are you doing here?" Zhou Shu turned to look at him and asked.

"I've been shopping around, and it seems that the kitchen can help me a bit." Su Yuan rolled up his sleeves and came to the table, wanting to help Zhou Shu with some work.

Zhou Shu smiled helplessly: "There is no reason for the king to cook, you just go out and wait to eat."

"There is no reason for a king to cook, so is there a reason for a queen to cook?" Su Yuan picked up the mallet for pounding garlic, "Besides, we didn't have many people around. It's just you three, when will you finish your work. "

Before and after Su Yuan ascended the throne, the place where he lived hardly changed.There are no eunuchs and maids. When someone needs to do tedious physical work, Su Yuan usually does it by himself, or summons a few soldiers from the soldier talisman to do it.

...

Zhou Shu didn't know how to cook before, but he had nothing to do during his time in Taiyuan, and he cooked several times while reading, and he often cooked food after arriving in Jinghai.Now she is here to cook the meals for the past few days, which is just right.

"That's fine." Zhou Shu listened to Su Yuan's words to some extent, and she already knew that Su Yuan was a casual person.The phrase "a gentleman stays away from the kitchen" must mean nothing to him.

"After you pour out the garlic, go and help me cut some peppers out."

"it is good."

The four of them were busy in the kitchen for a long time, during which Yang Zhen came in once and saw Su Yuan chopping vegetables, he was shocked and wanted to replace him, but Su Yuan refused.

He asked Yang Zhen to buy some candies, although there are no children in the house at the moment...but for Chinese New Year, it is necessary to prepare some candies.What's more, Su Yuan himself likes sweets.

An hour later.

The steaming hot meals began to be served on the table, and everyone sat around the table and looked at it with a smile.

At this time, there was a crackling sound coming from the front yard, it was the sound of lighted firecrackers, Xiaoqing covered her ears, and whispered: "The sound is really loud!"

"The sound of firecrackers is a year old." Su Yuan said.

"Good words, Your Majesty," Xun Ru said.

Su Yuan said in embarrassment: "I also heard this from hearsay."

"It's a good guess, you don't seem like a person with great literary talent." Tang Ziyu, who was sitting next to her, said.

Su Yuan was helpless: "You are too straightforward."

Tang Ziyu shrugged and couldn't help laughing: "What's the matter, I don't like that kind of sour scholar!"

"Come on, let me go." Xiaoyue came over with a plate of fish, "The crucian carp is here, I hope the adults and ladies will have a good New Year!"

"Xiaoyue is really good at talking, I'll give you a big red envelope later." Su Yuan said.

"Thank you Your Majesty!
"

"Sit down now."

More than a dozen meals were served, and everyone sat down one after another.

The wine glasses were filled with snow-soaked plum wine. Su Yuan raised his glass and said, "Come on, let's have a toast together in the new year. I hope that in the new year, we can all be happy and healthy!"

"Your Majesty is right!"

"Thank you, Your Majesty, for your blessing..."

Everyone immediately raised their cups, and some looked rather cautious.This is also helpless, even though Su Yuan has let everyone relax, the old-school civil servants headed by Xun Yu and others still strictly abide by the etiquette of monarchs and ministers.

On the contrary, the two girls, Xiaoqing and Xiaoyue, knew Su Yuan a long time ago and knew a lot, so they were more open-minded.

The two took a sip, and suddenly felt sweet and pungent, very enjoyable.

"It's delicious!"

"Hey, I'm a little dizzy..."

"I feel dizzy after just one sip, it's true."

Su Yuan drank a glass, turned to look at Zhen Miao, she never drank alcohol, but still took a sip gently.

"Great Master." He asked in a low voice, "Shall I change a cup of tea for you?"

With smiles in the corners of Zhen Yao's eyes, with a detached demeanor, he said with a faint smile: "No need, I'm so happy today, so I'll have a light drink too."

"Senior... Did you have to practice during the New Year?" Zhou Shu asked curiously.

Zhen Miao said: "My teacher's school has never celebrated any festivals, thinking that it will disturb the mood and affect the practice."

"what……"

Zhou Shu didn't expect this to happen, and was very surprised.

Tang Ziyu was not very happy when she heard the words: "Isn't this going to turn people into wood and stones without emotion?"

Her tone was a bit offensive, but Zhen Miao was not angry, but nodded and said: "It is true. To get rid of distracting thoughts and seek the Tao wholeheartedly is the teacher's teaching."

Tang Ziyu obviously couldn't understand, but she was not a reckless person, and she knew that she should respect the life chosen by others, so she didn't say any more.

It was Zhao Yun who said at this moment: "It is no wonder that senior has such a high level of cultivation for being able to do this."

It's really noncommittal.

Although Su Yuan also complained about this in his heart, he didn't say anything.

He picked up the quickie, looked at a table full of delicacies, and started to move: "Okay, let's eat quickly, the food will be cold in a while!"
