Datang first village

Chapter 289 New Year's Eve Banquet [Part 3]

The King of Khitan is nothing more than a little wild king. Give him face and he is a king. If you don't give him face, the Tang Dynasty can make Khitan disappear forever.Li Er didn't like Khitan people, because these people ran around like wild wolves, and would bite Datang from time to time.

Compared with the Turkic pack of wolves, Khitan is like a lone wolf.

Thinking about the rest of the people, even if they didn't come, it was not worth the King Qin of the Tang Dynasty to greet them at all.

Li Yuanxing looked around, but no one paid attention to this side, so he approached Li Er: "Brother Huang, Feng An from Lingnan brought his two sons, seven sons. ten miles."

After hearing this, Li Er reached out and grabbed Li Yuanxing's wrist, holding it firmly.

"Feng An!"

"Yes, more than a month ago, my younger brother sent him a letter. Originally, I just hoped that he could care about Tang Dynasty, and send someone over to have a good talk, at least not to break the ground. In the eyes of my younger brother, Feng An will fight for profit. Striving for fame..." Before Li Yuanxing finished speaking, Li Er stopped him: "Wulang, no matter what, Feng An has come to Chang'an, right!"

"Yes!" Li Yuanxing gave an affirmative answer.

Li Er didn't speak again immediately, but walked towards the side of the tower. After seeing Li Er's actions, those inner guards of the Forbidden Palace on the city wall naturally knew that the Holy Majesty had something to say with the King of Qin, and soon seemed to be casually around. But he stood up to six people very carefully, not only for protection, but also to block people who shouldn't get close.

When he came to the quiet place, Li Er asked, "What did you promise Feng An?"

Li Yuanxing was thinking, and Li Er was waiting. He thought that someone like Feng An, who could crack the earth and become a king, would not come to Chang'an for non-profit.Fearing that Goro made a huge profit, he was sorting out his thoughts at this time.

Who would have thought that the expression on Li Yuanxing's face was really weird, and Li Er became even more nervous.

"Brother Huang, my younger brother wrote a letter of [-] words to Feng An."

Hearing the eight thousand characters, Li Er took a deep breath. He had to be mentally prepared, fearing that this promise would not be missed.But no matter what, Feng An came to Chang'an, which represented surrender, a land of two thousand miles, no matter what Li Yuanxing promised, it was understandable.

"Chendi thought over and over the letter, and it seems that nothing was promised to him!"

"You..." Li Er's heart felt like it was going to jump out. Hearing Li Yuanxing said nothing, Li Er didn't know whether he should cry or laugh.The expression on his face was like crying and laughing.The tone was also a lot weird: "You are Feng An's child, and you can coax him with a few words!"

"It's not coaxing, my brother is sincere!" Li Yuanxing emphasized.

"Okay, you're sincere. Tell me, what did you write in your letter?"

"Chendi wrote down Feng An in his heart, and then listed four great achievements for his grandma and Mrs. Xi. These four great achievements, from Liang to Sui, were all great achievements to protect the Han people from being divided."

Li Yuanxing talked about the four achievements one by one.

"Okay, very good!" Li Er clapped his hands vigorously: "Wulang, you are really clever. You made an imperial decree for the emperor's meeting and named Feng Xishi, which is extremely expensive, first-class!" A few words can make it clear, but Feng An's coming to Chang'an is definitely related to Li Yuanxing's praise of Mrs. Xi.

"The younger brother finally wrote a strategy to double the annual income of the people in Lingnan in five years. Follow the strategy, and the younger brother will not be able to supply him. If he fails to follow the strategy, or fails to do it properly, then he will be responsible. This It is not a promise, nor is it a benefit. Because Datang got more than Feng An."

Li Er understood Li Yuanxing's words.

Another person might think that this is a promise, but in Li Yuanxing's heart, this is really not a promise.

"Go and meet him, take him directly to the Datang Arena, and give him a good seat for the emperor!" Li Er patted Li Yuanxing on the shoulder: "Goro made a great contribution to Feng An's matter, great contribution!"

Great work?

Li Yuanxing was even thinking about whether to give a bonus point system, how many points can be added for this great achievement.Anyway, I have nothing to reward, nothing to seal, and it's okay to use it as a punishment.

In Wuliting outside Chang'an City, thousands of civilians are clearing the snow on the road.

Li Yuanxing is wearing a down cloak, which can be the new favorite of the nobles of the Tang Dynasty, and it is a good item to protect against the wind and snow and the cold.Especially noble women love it even more, because the color can choose ordinary rainbow brocade, or you can choose the more expensive one with exquisite circle design.The most important thing is that the ordinary ones are not expensive, and the gorgeous ones are even more precious.

Today was a sunny day, and Feng An could see King Qin's flag from three miles away.

Getting off the horse a hundred steps away is Feng An's respect for King Qin of the Tang Dynasty.

Li Yuanxing walked up to meet him, holding a cloak on his arm.Naturally, officials from the Ministry of Rituals came forward to introduce. After seeing the ceremony, Li Yuanxing put the cloak on Feng An: "The Duke has traveled a long way, and the north is cold. Drink a bowl of ginger tea to get rid of the cold!" Li Yuanxing brought a tea bowl with his own hands.

Feng An thought about countless situations when he entered Chang'an on the road, and he thought that someone would greet him.

However, he did not expect that King Qin of the Tang Dynasty would come to see him in person, and he might meet him within three days in Chang'an.

At this time, Li Yuanxing's followers took many cloaks to keep out the cold and gave them to Feng An's subordinates.

Feng An was very moved. These clothes are not worth mentioning at their level.But this intention moved Feng An.Just as he was about to say something, Li Yuanxing pulled his arm: "Although the Duke has worked hard from afar, tonight is extraordinary. The Great Tang New Year celebration, the Duke may regret it if he doesn't watch it!"

"I would like to go with His Highness King Qin!" Feng An pressed heavily on Li Yuanxing's arm with his other hand.

As expected of a general, this arm is truly powerful.

When Li Yuanxing and Feng An came to the Datang Arena, it was just after five o'clock in the afternoon according to modern time, and there was still an hour before Li Yuanxing said that it was seven o'clock in the afternoon.

But here, more than 40 people have already gathered.

If it weren't for King Qin's guard of honor, Li Yuanxing might not even be able to enter the arena. The surrounding roads are already crowded with people.

Five hundred shops, 250 different businesses, eating, drinking, playing, having fun, wearing, walking, and decorating.But there is everything, every shop is full of people, the sound of bargaining, the sound of snatching high-quality goods, judging from the clothes, at least [-]% of the customers are from foreign countries.

There are also [-] shops, which are specially reserved for foreign merchants.

"Chang'an City is really prosperous!" Feng An said with emotion.

Li Yuanxing smiled: "In Chang'an City, there are now nearly 15 foreign people, and foreign envoys have dozens of people from small countries, large and small tribes. This king will let them have a good understanding of what is a kingdom of heaven!"

When Li Yuanxing was talking, he noticed that several young people in fancy clothes were all on the street.

Whether it is a shop or a juggling show, the storytelling teahouse attracts them.

"There is still an hour. If you like it, you might as well have some fun. Just remember the Chang'an decree. During the celebration, give three points of courtesy, even if it is the fault of the other party." Tang Fengdu!" Then he said to a few young people: "Go and have fun, remember His Royal Highness King Qin's instructions, even if the other party is wrong, you must be courteous!"

As long as there is courtesy, there will be no conflict.

This is Li Yuanxing's idea. Don't dare to mess up during the celebration. There are tens of thousands of people here. Once there is a disturbance, it is a trivial matter to transfer the imperial army, but Datang will really lose face.

Qin Wangfu sent a team of personal guards to go with the guests.

The Datang Arena is built on the Fengqiyuan, and the largest side of the stairs is on the original.Then there is a semi-circular ring, which is a large open-air arena built by hollowing out a nearly [-]-foot-high soil field, reinforcing it with stones, and then using brick structures.At the highest point, one on the left and one on the right, two huge torches fifteen feet high were burning.

The flames illuminated the ten-mile radius of Fangyuan.

Inside the ring stand is a circle of a thousand-step track, then the stadium in the middle, and the track in the other circle.Outside is hard loess and a circle of temporary sheds.

Feng An's seat is on the second floor from the front, and the highest floor has less than twenty seats.And the sub-level where Feng An is located has no more than [-] seats. This seat is like a small box, a room.

Li Er personally greeted Feng An at the entrance of the VIP seats. After the big ceremony, Feng An was very satisfied with his box.

Because he already knows, left and right.On one side is the box of General Qin Qiong, the director of the Security Department of the Tang Empire, and on the other side is the box of the right servant of the Tang Dynasty, the uncle of the country, Sun Wuji.

The ancients cared a lot about status, and Feng An thought it was an honor to sit with such a person.

Since it was a celebration, it was not the time to talk about serious matters, and it was impossible for Feng An to leave in a few days. His plan was to stay in Chang'an City for at least three months, or even half a year.

Another guest, the seat of the Khitan Khan, is on the sixth floor from the front.He was already extremely surprised by this position. He had also observed the identities of the people in the front box. He thought that he was probably on the eighth floor, and it would be a great courtesy to be placed on the seventh floor. The seat on the sixth floor made him happy.

There is food in the box, except for the mutton and vegetarian dishes.

The pig's ears and pig's trotters served with wine, and then the sausage poured by Li Yuanxing, the taste is naturally much lighter than the modern ones. Both salt and sugar are lacking in Datang.

What's more precious is that there is a bright green vegetarian dish on each box table, and it is a platter of four dishes.

Of course, the higher the box will naturally have more weight.

Only on the upper three floors, there are six kinds, eight kinds, twelve kinds, and there are sixteen kinds of green vegetarian dishes in Li Er's box.

In winter, in the snowy winter, this huge amount of green vegetable vegetables is worth more than silver, especially the red jujube-sized fruits, no one in the entire Tang Dynasty recognizes them.

Is Datang rich?

Just ask who in the world can eat these fresh green vegetables in winter! (To be continued.)
