Settled in the Tang Dynasty

Chapter 72 Ceremony
Xue Lang also bowed his head, and took the time to take a look before bowing his head to salute, but Her Highness the Princess noticed it at just this one look, and was even glared vaguely.

Xue Lang quickly lowered his head, pretending not to see Her Royal Highness's stare, but his heart was silently——

Your Royal Highness is so beautiful!

It is the first time he has ever seen that a layer of white powder on the face can be so elegant and beautiful, Her Royal Highness the Princess!Suddenly, I was curious about how good-looking the future No. [-] beauty Yang Guifei would look in a formal dress?Compared with Her Royal Highness?But he doesn't seem to live to that time, what a pity!

You can't be blatant when you look at Her Royal Highness, but you don't have to be so restrained when you look at Lady Liu.Xue Lang took the opportunity to glance at her, but she was dignified and elegant. Compared with the imposing aura of Her Royal Highness, Lady Liu seemed much softer.

Sure enough, the temperament of a real classical lady cannot be imitated by modern models.I used to think that putting white powder on my face must look scary, but now I see a real person dressed up like this, and I realize that it has a different style.

Well, Xue Lang's thinking has diverged again!

After the ceremony, everything started according to the process——

Han Jin and Han Changshi recited the prayer first, which was a gorgeous four or six parallel prose. Xue Lang didn't understand it, his mind was foggy, and he had to maintain a solemn expression on his face.

After the prayers were finished, sacrifices were placed, and then according to the feudal etiquette, according to the sacrificial activities that can be done according to the level of Her Royal Highness, worship.

Xue Lang didn't understand these things, and he was just making suggestions, which were made by Han Jin.In the fearful feudal society, even worshiping gods has to pay attention to status and class. Some gods can only be worshiped by the emperor, and it is against the system if others worship. , It’s called adultery. There is no blessing in adultery.” If one leapfrogs one’s rank and sacrifices to a god’s residence that should not be sacrificed by one’s own, that is adultery, which is an illegal act that violates the etiquette system.

Sacrifice is a serious activity. Xue Lang stood in the crowd and followed along. He should kneel and worship.This is just the private sacrifice of Princess Pingyang. If Xue Lang does well in the future and can follow the emperor to sacrifice to the sky, it will be truly solemn and solemn. There will be special people observing the words and deeds of the officials when they follow the emperor to sacrifice to the sky. If there is a mistake, what is waiting is the terrible consequence.Compared with this, it's called being sincere and apprehensive, lifting weights lightly, lest you make mistakes.

Thinking about it this way, it doesn't feel like an honor, but like a punishment!

Well, Xue Lang's thinking has spread to boundless places.Sure enough, it was because he was too illiterate to understand Han Changshi's wonderful prayers, nor could he understand the meaning of His Royal Highness's words and deeds.Xue Lang was participating purely with a spectator mentality, which was clearly planned by him.

After the sacrificial activities were over, Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the stage and uncovered the red cloth covering the Yiren's plow, and then the cowman brought the cattle with the same red cloth tied to their horns.

"Master Xue, why is there only one farm ox?"

Chang Shi standing next to Xue Lang pulled Xue Lang and asked, "But the new plow only needs one ox?"

Xue Lang said: "Yes. Compared with the plows of the past, the Yiren plow not only has the advantage of saving animal power, but also has other advantages. Please watch it patiently, Chang Shi will understand later."

Chang Shi nodded, his eyes were as bright as a [-]-watt light bulb, watching the cowman put the plow into the field alone, tie the plow to the cattle, and after yelling, he easily supported the plow and followed the cattle.

At the turning point at the edge of the field, neither the ox was stopped nor the plow was lifted to turn around. Instead, he turned the corner with a slight turn while holding the handle. The advantages of flexible operation and saving the cowman's physical strength were obvious at a glance.

"A good plow! It is light and handy, and saves animal power. Mr. Xue, when will you promote it? How will you promote it?"

Chang Shi asked eagerly.Xue Lang said with a smile: "No hurry, we will give a unified answer when the ceremony is over and the court food is used."

Chang Shi nodded, lifted the hem of his clothes, and jumped off the ground without taking off his official boots to see the effect of plowing——

Regarding this point, Xue Lang had thought ahead of time and arranged for the cattlemen to plow deeply and shallowly all the way.The Yiren plow can be used for both deep plowing and shallow plowing, and the advantages of being able to flexibly adjust according to needs are fully demonstrated.Xue Lang still has the style of modern people. If he wants to sell products, he must show the advantages of the products.

Officials in the early Tang Dynasty were relatively pragmatic, or it should be said that the emphasis on food and farming made these officials very pragmatic, even officials from aristocratic families, after reaching the position of Changshi, they were somewhat practical experience.After all, Datang is not like the two Jins. As long as the reincarnation skills are good and reincarnated into an aristocratic family, no matter how stupid a person is, he will become an official.In Datang, there were not many brushes, and it was impossible to be an official.

A lot of long history showed excitement, just like Wan Siming's reaction when he saw the effect of the foreigner's plow on the ground.

"Good plow!"

Xue Lang clapped his hands with a smile, and took the lead in clapping. The crowd burst into bursts of applause. The eyes of Chang Shi looking at Yi Renli were more eager than looking at their own daughter-in-law. They just wanted to run up immediately. The virtue of picking it up and leaving.

It’s no wonder that the long historians are so excited. In the ancient taxation, food accounted for the vast majority of the proportion. These days, no matter whether it is aristocratic families or poor people, food storage is the top priority.There is a saying that there is food at home and there is no panic.

Amidst the thundering gongs and drums, the cattleman drove the cattle back and forth twice in the field, plowing deeply and shallowly at the same time.After the plow was finished, neither the cattle nor the people looked tired, the cattleman was full of joy, and the cattle flicked their tails leisurely, obviously they still had energy left.

The plow that had just been planted was immediately carried away without even being given a second chance to look at it.Changshi and his colleagues watched the plow being taken away, and their hearts ached, and they didn't even give it a few more glances, how stingy they were!
"Everyone!"

Han Jin spoke loudly, calling back the attention of the long-timers, and when the long-timers were looking at him eagerly, Han Jin smiled brightly, but his tone was sincere: "Everyone, I invited you to this new event early in the morning. The plowing ceremony, thank you all for your hard work. Seeing that it is time for the morning meal, our Highness ordered someone to prepare the morning meal, please go to eat. Please!"

"Han Jin rests, and we can talk about the meal later. I can't wait for the plow by another person! Come on, what should we do with the plow?"

"Exactly! Such a thing that benefits the country and the people, how can it be compared to a mere meal! Let's talk about the business first, and postpone the meal first."

"That's right! Han Yuexian, don't even think about leaving without a word of advice! Without a word of truth, I don't want to have a meal! Is that right? Everyone!"

"Exactly! Exactly!"

……

While laughing and laughing, he stopped Han Jin from leaving.

Han Jin gave Xue Lang a complaining look, and Xue Lang smiled and clasped his fists together, meaning "Han Changshi will take care of you, I will take a step first."

Xue Lang jumped into the carriage and hurriedly let Wanfu leave.Out of the corner of Han Jin's eyes, he saw Xue Lang's carriage going away, so he smiled wryly and said loudly: "It's useless even if you stop Han someday, His Highness entrusted Master Xue Bo to manage this matter, where is Master Xue?"

Everyone immediately looked around, but naturally they couldn't find anyone!

Han Jin pretended to imitate Xue Lang and spread his hands: "It seems that Master Xue has gone back to the mansion first, everyone should go back to have dinner first, and we will go to the princess mansion first to talk about everything, okay?"

It's not good, it's good!
Everyone had to go back to the princess mansion in a mighty way.
