Daqin: When I return from sea, I will offer you a map of the world

Chapter 314 New Years
"Hey……"

Zhao Si sighed as he looked at the ground covered with snow and mud.

Zhao Si knew that this might be one of the few leisure time he had.

After returning to Xianyang, a lot of things are waiting for me, such as the aviation and trade military mansion, the order to move nobles, the reform of the craftsman system, the technology tree of iron and steel smelting... the technology tree of wool spinning, the textile machine...

In comparison, it is not so tiring to follow the team and temporarily act as the CRRC government order to do Zhao Gao's work.

"The weather is strange. It snowed heavily two years ago..." Zhao Si muttered.

Daqin's new year is on January [-]st, which is probably October [-]st in the lunar calendar.

Snow at this time is considered a rare event, it has been like this for two consecutive years, and the snow is not small, which is a strange thing, but it did not cause a snow disaster, so it is not a big problem.

Another New Year to...

On such an important day, no matter how rushed you are, you have to stop and celebrate the New Year.

Right now, the driver is parked in Dongjun, and Zhao Si has already started to arrange the palace people to prepare for the New Year's banquet before dawn.

Last year's New Year was spent on the road, and this year's New Year is the same.

The difference is that Hu Hai and Zhao Gao did not have the opportunity to attend the New Year's banquet, and Zhao Si took charge of the preparations for the banquet instead of Zhao Gao.

Under the leadership of Zhao Si, the palace people have arranged everything in the Dongjun Palace.

After the tables were set up, the imperial chef also began to cook various delicacies in an orderly manner.

Another year has passed, and the skills of the imperial chef have improved a lot, and even created a lot of novel dishes. What Zhao Si provided was a cooking method and various spices. With raw materials, wok, palace The imperial cook here eats this bowl of rice. In a year, Zhao Si's culinary skills have already left Zhao Si far behind.

There are not too many New Year's customs now, when Zhao Si finished setting up everything behind, the New Year's banquet had already started, and Zhao Si obviously entered the venue halfway.

Firecrackers were burning, the maids were dancing to the music, and the ministers were toasting the First Emperor one by one.

Thanks to Zhao Si's credit, the last time Zhao Si gave the first emperor a heartfelt blessing during the New Year, and was invited by the first emperor to sit opposite him. This year's New Year...

When toasting the first emperor, it somehow rolled up...

Those who can follow the first emperor to tour the world are all talents, and their literary literacy is much higher than that of Zhao Si. This time, it is really the Eight Immortals crossing the sea and showing their magical powers.

Compared with Zhao Si's rough blessing, I don't know how many times the essence of magnificence is.

Zhao Si stood at the end of the mat and looked at the crackling sound of the burning bamboo from time to time, his eyes were a little dazed.

"I almost forgot, gunpowder has to be lit, firearms and cannons aside, at least next year there must be fireworks, right? There are also Spring Festival couplets and so on... Otherwise, it will feel like a new year." Zhao Si thought to himself.

Although it was not the New Year in his memory, Zhao Si, who had been integrated into Daqin for a long time, also began to gradually feel the joy of the New Year.

Maybe there is no need to fix when the New Year is...

The first emperor looked at all the officials who toasted him this year, showing off their literary talents.

Because of Zhao Si, this year's greetings are more innovative and serious, and the first emperor is also very happy.

New Year's is nothing more than a celebration.

Everyone is flattering, and no one is flattering.

The writing and content are very caring, much better than the auspicious words of that kid Zhao Si, there are not so many auspicious words with a restrained personality, and there is a long paragraph of auspicious words with a generous personality, and there is a talent show to watch...

Some people sing to celebrate, some people dance to celebrate...

In this ascendant era, on such a festive day, and in such an upper-class society, singing and dancing are also the talents that upper-class people must possess.

While talking, it is still an elegant thing to perform a dance or sing a poem for the First Emperor.

Ancient times and modern times cannot be compared. From the Qin to the Tang Dynasty, there are many historical records in this regard. For example, some relatively generous kings would sing and dance to music with their ministers.

Until the theory of oppressive human nature begins to come out, society will become more and more dull and dogmatic because of it.

"It seems that all my colleagues are very happy this year..." Zhao Si said with a smile.

"How can you be unhappy? When His Majesty left, there were endless rumors in the world, and all the officials were holding their breath. I am back this year, and the rumors are self-defeating. Of course I am happy!" Li Si answered next to him.

This year is a watershed!

The strange gift of biscuits from the God of the River, the prophecy of the death of the ancestor dragon, and following the first emperor's tour of the world, he spent more than a year and nearly two years safely, and everything was completely shattered.

Zhao Si noticed that there was emotion in Li Si's smiling eyes.

In fact, everyone knows that the Qin State in the past was a chariot that was constantly accelerating and on the verge of losing control.

Some people can feel it, some people can't feel it but they can feel the high-pressure atmosphere.

Everyone has a feeling of depression in their hearts. Too many things have happened this year. Not to mention that Daqin, a chariot that was on the verge of losing control, stopped the car, but it can be regarded as letting go of the accelerator. One light.

This year's New Year has basically announced the end of all bad things, and even the first emperor's interest is much higher. It is reasonable for the officials to have some indulgent joy.

"Aren't you going to toast to His Majesty?" Li Si stroked his goatee.

"The courtiers are so overwhelming that I don't dare to make a fool of myself." Zhao Si smiled.

Last year, no one said any serious funny things, but this year, there were not only funny words, but also performances, which made Zhao Si feel a little stressed for a while.

"Go, His Majesty is waiting for you." Li Si smiled.

Zhao Si looked at the civil and military officials who seemed to be competing for splendor, then bit the bullet and walked over holding the wine bottle.

Raising his eyes, he met Shi Huangdi's half-smile eyes.

An official had just finished dancing, and when he saw Zhao Si approaching, he moved aside sensiblely.

Zhang Cang glanced at the First Emperor, put down his chopsticks with a smile, and tapped on the table lightly to signal everyone to follow his gaze.

"Let's watch the show first..."

Liu Bang and others looked at Zhao Si who walked in front of the first emperor without knowing what was said.

"The old year is gone, the new year is here..." Zhao Si raised his wine glass.

"I said it last year."

The First Emperor looked at Zhao Si with a smile.

"Let's dance and dance to congratulate each other..." The First Emperor narrowed his eyes.

Zhao Si subconsciously grabbed the sole of the shoe.

"Chen... no..."

The First Emperor didn't speak any more, and Zhao Si fell into a silent embarrassment.

"Zhao Siche, but don't refuse..."

This kind of scene made Zhao Si feel ashamed that he was chosen to perform in military training.
