Capital Datang

On the first day of the Lunar New Year, after visiting relatives and friends to pay New Year’s greetings, the people of Chang’an all gathered in Zhuque Square. Yesterday, it was closed. Re-arranging, and there are other related things to be prepared, so it was not officially opened until today. [Recommended website www.aoye]

In order to ensure the order of this exhibition, Li Shimin specially dispatched a group of Qianniu Guards to maintain the scene together with the Jinwu Guards. As the emperor's guards, the Qianniu Guards are well-known in Chang'an. Niu Wei and his gang of murderous guys will immediately turn into little cats.

Suzaku Square has been fenced off with wooden fences, and only four entrances and four exits are open around it. Everyone who wants to enter the square must line up at the entrance, and then enter slowly one by one.It's just that although Suzaku Square is big, there was nothing to do on the first day of the new year, and it was the first day of the exhibition, so the people who came to visit were almost full, and soon there were no people in the square. They can only enter after waiting for the people in the square to come out.

However, the people who enter the square cannot move at will. Everyone is advancing according to the originally prescribed route, and every dozens of people will have a tour guide arranged by the organizer. All marine life is visited, and the tour guide will also give some simple explanations according to a booklet, and finally they will come to the center of the square, which is next to the whale.

The whale is the centerpiece of the show, so naturally it gets special treatment.Not only is it located at the center of all the exhibits, but there is also a special person to explain in detail, and this "special person" refers to Zhou Yu and the few followers he brought.They are all from Dengzhou, so they naturally know more about whales, especially Zhou Yu is in charge of the whaling ship and has personal experience in whaling, so it is best to be a guide.Capital Datang 224

Several of Zhou Yu's entourages are all servants of Prince Qi's Mansion in Dengzhou.They were a little nervous at the beginning, after all, it was the first time for them to speak under the gaze of so many people, so they stuttered a bit.But after explaining it a few times, I gradually relaxed, and at the same time, I stopped speaking according to the original memorized script.Instead, I also "insert" some of my own experience in the explanation, making the explanation more lively and interesting, and attracting visitors to be amazed again and again.

Compared with a few followers, Zhou Yu seemed to be able to do a job with ease. After all, as a steward, speaking in front of people is a very common thing, and he was young, and it was the time when his desire to express himself was strongest. There are many unmarried beautiful girls, which makes him even more excited.Speaking of it, saliva was flying all over the place, and he even specifically pointed out that this whale was captured under his wise leadership.

As soon as this remark came out, it naturally attracted many girls to look at him favorably.Speaking of which, Zhou Yu is not ugly, and he is not married yet.He is also the chief steward of Prince Qi's mansion, and it is very attractive to combine these conditions on one person, especially the last one. There were even a few bold girls on the scene talking to Zhou Yu and asking each other to go to Shangyuan. Enjoy the Lantern Festival together.This made Zhou Yu feel like he had been beaten to death.Full of confidence, I want to find a Chang'an daughter-in-law for my parents.

Li Yin on the top of the city looked at the grand occasion of the exhibition below, and nodded with satisfaction. Reading is not the only way to broaden your horizons. The ancients also felt that reading thousands of books is not as good as traveling thousands of miles.Wanting the people of the Central Plains to turn their attention from the land to the sea is definitely a difficult task, but as long as you work hard to promote it, one day you will reach your ideal state.

In fact, at this exhibition, Li Yin is already doing some tricks. The marine creatures in these exhibitions are not just for viewing. When Li Yin asked Zhou Yu and others to explain, he deliberately analyzed the economic value of each creature In order to focus on the introduction, for example, taking whales as an example, Zhou Yu and others introduced the economic value of whales in detail. For example, whale skin is high-quality cortex, whale blubber can be boiled for oil, meat can be made into valuable whale cans, and whale Must be able to make clothes etc.

As for the economic value of other animals such as sharks and sea lions, Li Yin also asked people to give a lot of introductions, but regarding the dangers that these animals can cause, such as whale capsized, shark cannibalism, etc., Li Yin did not Let people mention it in one sentence, and didn't say too much, mainly because they were afraid of scaring away the enthusiasm of the visitors for the ocean.

The repercussions aroused by this exhibition far exceeded Li Yin’s imagination. Whether it was court or folk, almost everyone spent the New Year discussing the sound of the ocean, and this exhibition also had a surprise, that is, The sales of marine products on the market are booming. Whether it is high-end shark fin, whale meat, or the lowest-end ordinary salted fish, there is a sales peak in all of them. As a result, many merchants' mouths are almost crooked.

This exhibition lasted until after the Shangyuan Festival, and on the two days of the Shangyuan Festival, Suzaku Square was completely open, and the lantern craftsmen in the palace made the entire square into a marine headlight, and all the exhibits were floating on the lights , It looks like swimming in the sea, it is extremely spectacular. When Li Yin saw this wonderful scene, he secretly hated why he didn't have a camera, otherwise he would definitely win a photography award if he took it.

It is also worth mentioning that after the exhibition, Li Yin's handling of these exhibits also made many people dumbfounded.Because all the exhibits have been marinated with salt and spices, coupled with the cold weather in winter, they are well preserved, even the same as the seafood sold on the market, but more complete.

As a standard gluttonous person, Li Yin made the right choice to be a foodie. He ordered that after the exhibition, all the food that can be eaten will be made into delicious food on the spot for everyone to taste. They were all given away in the form of a lottery, but this caused another climax. Countless people from Chang'an flocked to Zhuque Square, most of them to taste the authentic seafood delicacies.

But Li Yin didn't know that he inadvertently created another record, which was the first official dinner of ten thousand people recorded in official history.In fact, although there is no exact statistics on the number of people at this dinner party, it is estimated that there are far more than 15 people. For example, the whale transported by Li Yin is about 3 meters long and weighs at least seventy to eighty tons. , bones and other inedible parts, there are at least [-] to [-] tons left. It is estimated that at least [-] to [-] people will eat this whale at the same time, not to mention those huge sharks and sea lions. Waiting for the animals.

Li Shimin also strongly supports Li Yin's decision to have fun with the people, and there is a banquet for [-] people outside, and a small banquet for [-] people in the palace. Li Shimin summoned some important civil and military ministers into the palace, and everyone discussed state affairs while tasting seafood. , In addition, Empress Changsun also gathered all the concubines and princes and princesses together, and also held a family banquet.Of course, the banquet in the palace is not comparable to the dinner of thousands of people outside. The ingredients of the dishes at the banquet are the essence of various marine animals, such as whale tail meat, shark fin, cod liver and so on.

It's just that there was an unexpected episode at the banquet, that is, Tang Jian, the Minister of the household department who has always been fond of food, suddenly wanted to taste the delicious shark liver on a whim. According to Yin's instructions, the shark liver was not made into a dish, but was prepared to be made into cod liver oil and presented to His Majesty, but he, a little imperial cook, could not stand up to Tang Jian's repeated requests, so he had no choice but to make the shark liver into a dish and send it to Tang Jian on the table.

As a result, Li Yin's Wangnian was accidentally poisoned. He vomited, had a headache, and yawned profusely. He almost put Tang Jian's old bone in.In fact, shark liver itself is not poisonous, but the liver contains a lot of vitamin A. It is okay to eat less, but as long as there is an overdose, symptoms of vitamin A poisoning will definitely occur.

After Li Yin heard about this incident, he was afraid, but also felt a little dumbfounded. He remembered that in his previous life, he was poisoned to death by puffer fish because of his greed for food. If Tang Jian also followed his old path , I wonder if he will also travel to a certain dynasty?

The matter of the ocean exhibition has finally come to an end, but its influence is far from over, it just won't be visible in a short time.As the organizer of the exhibition, Li Yin didn't feel any relief, because he was about to leave Chang'an to go to Liuqiu Dadao to deal with an urgent matter, and at the same time hooked some of Chang'an's commercial allies there. Help him develop Liuqiu together, and also take Li Ke, Li Yun and others to open their eyes.

In fact, at the beginning, Li Yin went to Liuqiu mainly to deal with the urgent matter, but a series of things happened later, so he had to bring more people with him, and there were too many things in Chang'an, so he couldn't escape at all. Not getting out of the way caused this matter to be delayed again and again. Lu Qing had sent more than a dozen letters in a row to urge him, and now no matter what, it could not be delayed any longer.

But before Li Yin left, there were still many things to deal with, such as the development plan of the newspaper. He had to communicate with Xu Shaozong, the doctor of the General Academy of News Supervision, to tell everything he knew about the direction of the newspaper's development, and try his best. Let the news media avoid detours.

In addition, the textile industry also needs him to worry about, but fortunately with Wang Zihao as a good helper, he will still stay in Chang'an this time, and he is also the chairman of the Textile Industry Association. With him holding the rudder of the textile industry, Li Yin Very relieved.In addition, the matter of weights and measures was also handed over to Wang Zihao. After all, he was very prestigious among businessmen, and his appeal was enough to push this matter forward.Capital Datang 224

In addition to the above matters, the military academy, medical academy, and Taoist academy were also within Li Min's concern, so he had to find the three responsible persons, Li Jing, Sun Simiao, and Yuan Tiangang, one by one, and explain them to each other.

After Li Yin had finally explained everything and was about to leave Chang'an, two acquaintances suddenly found him, and the three of them discussed in the study until midnight, and then Li Yin put a smirk on his face. The two were sent out of the house.As a result, in the early morning of the next day, news came out from the Qi Palace that Li Yin was ill again! (To be continued.
