Live as the emperor

Chapter 37 The Factory, Launch

[I slept with a headache all day, and I didn’t get up until eight o’clock to type, sorry]

The table has been prepared in the main hall, and the imperial banquet table is the chairman, which is placed on the innermost high platform of the main hall.Under the stage, from north to south, the banquet tables of the ministers are arranged in sequence.From east to west, tables for queens and concubines are placed.Queens and concubines have a table for each person, and concubines and concubines have a table for three people.

The prince and the ministers all came in and sat down in order, there was no confusion at all.After sitting for a while, the emperor Chen Ang came in with the empress and concubine.

Chen Ang's harem includes Queen Dugu Jialuo, the daughter of Dugu Xin; Mrs. Xuanhua Chen, the No.14 daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan, Princess Ningyuan; Mrs. Ronghua Cai; Hongzheng's wife Chen, the No.20 fourth daughter of Emperor Chen Xuan, Princess Linchuan ; Gongren Yuchi's family, Yuchi Jiong's granddaughter.

The emperor and empresses and concubines sit down according to their own positions, and only the princes and ministers can sit down.

First of all, Chen Ang first delivered a passionate New Year's speech, because it was an impromptu speech, not classical Chinese, Chen Guang could still understand it.

"It's a good time to enter the New Year, everything goes well, the three goats are prosperous, Vientiane is renewed, harmony leads to auspiciousness, and a good year is auspicious."

This sentence is a fixed format, similar to my speech will start immediately, to remind everyone.

Then, he said: "Since I ascended the throne, I have received the favor of heaven and the help of all of you here. The whole country is stable and peaceful. It's just that the weather is not good. In the winter of this year, there was such a violent snowstorm in the north. Thousands of people My surname was displaced, and I was very sad. Fortunately, the crown prince and the king of Jin shared the worries for the country and me, and gave porridge in the capital to appease the victims. I am very relieved that there has never been any trouble in the capital. Now the New Year is over. Arrived, Vientiane is updated..."

He first praised Chen Yong and Chen Guang for their good deeds of giving porridge, then reviewed the hardships of founding the country, and looked forward to the future. He talked eloquently for two quarters of an hour.

The ministers shook their heads and looked happy, as if listening to Chen Ang's lectures could prolong their lives.However, Chen Guang, who hadn't had enough sleep, was drowsy and sat there with energy.

After finishing the New Year's greetings, but still unable to eat, Chen Ang took the concubines and ministers out of the main hall and went to the ancestral temple.

When they arrived in front of the temple, everyone offered incense, and Chen Ang took out the sacrificial rites that he had prepared and began to read.

"In the first year of Wei and Qian, at the time of Wuchen, the auspicious day of Meng Dong, the emperor ordered Liugong, a grand hongyu, and Magong, who was written by the Ministry of rites, to worship the tomb of my ancestors of the Chen family. Sacrifice: Emperor Su ordered that only Xinxiang be recommended. Nghe'an is used by the people, chickens and pigs are not disturbed, fathers and children, their virtues are admired. The eulogy says: Yu Huang Daqian, successor to Tian Shaozuo, filial piety to overcome light, and clear orders to care. The history is counted; meritorious deeds, three The court is eternal; the dragon controls Huya, and everyone in the world admires it; the emperor of Ming and Ming, he descends to the sky; Will be happy, and gods will tell the gods. It is the auspicious day, and the wind carries the wind. Su Su Yongyong, and the beans are orderly. But do not disturb the people, and the people cherish their virtue. The grand ceremony of Yuguang, wing my millet. The wind and the way , Respectfully and silently. Lezhi Zhenmin, and the sky is boundless. The middle part of the Heyi is reserved for the gentry, the senior and the common people."

He read it affectionately, but Chen Guang didn't understand a word.

Then the emperor Chen Ang went up to the eunuchs and soldiers, and they knelt down and kowtowed collectively.Only then did he return to the Wenhua Palace.

At the very beginning, Chen Guang was still thinking about going to the palace to have lunch, why did he go there before dawn, but now it seems that it would be good if the lunch can be eaten on time at noon.

Back in the main hall, everyone began to send New Year's gifts to the emperor.

Crown Prince Chen Yong first took out an ancient painting, and said: "My minister presents a copy of "Jiangshan Sheji Tu" to bless my Daqian Dynasty and Jiangshan forever."

Chen Ang had no expression on his face and just nodded slightly in agreement. Yu Chao came over and took Chen Yong's painting.

Then came Chen Guang.Unlike the last time he had to deal with it in a hurry, this time he was naturally ready, the congratulatory gift was delivered, Yu Chao received it, and he retreated.

Then came King Qin... Everyone offered their congratulatory gifts, and soon a hill of congratulatory gifts was piled up behind Chen Ang. Ou Yuchao hurriedly ordered two eunuchs to come in and remove the things.

At this moment, that cute and cute baby Chen Yan suddenly stood up and said, "Grandfather and grandson of the emperor have also prepared congratulatory gifts."

"Oh? My good grandson also has a congratulatory gift? Come, come, what is your congratulatory gift?" Chen Ang was stunned, and then laughed heartily.He likes this eldest grandson very much, and this Chen Yan is also very talented, with extraordinary talent, he can speak well at a young age, he is a talented player.

Chen Yan said: "The emperor's grandson wrote a poem for the emperor's grandfather."

"Wrote a poem for me? Haha, read it and listen to it." Chen Ang was even more amazed, his grandson was really amazing, he was able to write poems at the age of six, such a talent was simply unprecedented.

Chen Yan shook his head and said: "Gao Lie Qianfeng Baoju Forest, Duanmen Fang Xi Cuihua is here. Official travel is not for the Three Yuan Night, and the joy is with the hearts of all people. The blue light of Tianshan stays on this evening, and the world is harmonious and spring shade."

This is purely a flattering poem, interpreted according to the current words: torches and lanterns on the high peaks are brightly lit, because people are happily waiting for the arrival of the emperor at the Duanmen.The emperor's joy is not because of the Lantern Festival, but because he is really happy when he is with the people.The moon in the sky is extraordinarily bright shining at this moment, and the world is full of the breath of spring and harmony.

Chen Guang didn't believe that Chen Yan could write such a thing at all. It must have been written by Chen Yong in all likelihood, so Chen Yan could read it out to please the emperor.

Sure enough, Chen Ang beamed, walked down and hugged Chen Yan in his arms, and said, "It's amazing, if you can write such poems, you will be a great master in the future."

"I don't want to be everyone, I just follow Grandpa Huang."

"Haha, okay, okay, follow along. Then Grandpa Huang will be a county king for you, okay?"

"it is good."

Everyone was shocked. Just one poem is going to be crowned king?

"Then I'll make you... the King of Changning."

Chen Yong stood up and said, "Thank you, Father."

Chen Yan said: "Thank you, Grandpa Huang."

"Grandpa Emperor."

"what happened?"

"I'm hungry."

"Huh? Haha, okay, let's eat and eat."

After tossing and tossing for so long, everyone was very hungry. With a wave of Chen Ang, the eunuch began to serve the food, and it was finally ready to eat.

Of course, this does not mean that you can eat whatever you want. First, the emperor's table, followed by concubines, princes, courtiers and so on.

After dinner, it was already afternoon, and there was actually an arrangement at this time, that is to watch a play, in Chen Guang's view, it was the Spring Festival Gala in ancient times.

After tossing all the way, it was getting dark, the banquet was over, and the ministers set off to go home.

Chen Guang left the Wenhua Palace and got into the carriage with Min'er. He said impatiently, "Hurry up, hurry up and go home."

Min'er asked curiously, "What's the matter?"

Chen Guang said: "Hungry, there is nothing to eat at all, and I have been tossing around all day, can I not be hungry? Go back quickly, I want to eat a big meal."

Min'er covered her mouth and smiled, "Why don't I think so?"

"You girls are different."

After returning to Prince Jin's Mansion, Chen Guang jumped off the carriage and shouted, "Kitchen, hurry up and prepare a table of delicious food for me."

It has been a day of immersion in Prince Jin's Mansion. When Chen Guang shouted, everyone immediately moved into action, and the whole courtyard began to make noise.After less than half an hour, a table of delicious food was placed in front of Chen Guang.

Chen Guang didn't care about his own image at all, and started eating like a storm.

After filling his stomach and resting for a while, Chen Guang took a shower and went to bed. Lying on the bed, he felt as if his whole body was falling apart.

"The Chinese New Year really suffers." He muttered.

As a prince, the better thing is that you don’t have to visit your relatives, and no matter how busy it is outside, Chen Guang stays in his own Prince Jin’s mansion, where he should eat, drink and drink. .

After the 15th Lantern Festival, the year is over, and it's time to focus on preparing for the new year.And Chen Guang couldn't wait for it. On the early morning of the [-]th day of the first lunar month, he took a carriage to the Hope Project.

Today's Hope Project has not been disturbed by anyone, and Chen Guang has given enough money, so the construction is very fast. In the past half a month, three residential buildings and two large factory buildings have been built.

Although it is said to be a large factory building, it cannot be compared with the size of those workshops of later generations. After all, there is no steel bar now, and it is only built with wood. A factory with a length of 50 meters and a width of more than ten meters is already in the sky.

But Chen Guang was very satisfied.

Now the Hope Project is guarded by someone. Of course, the guard is selected from the refugees and paid monthly. When Chen Guang's carriage arrived, Yang Rong was notified.

"His Royal Highness King Jin, His Royal Highness King Jin." After not seeing him for a while, Yang Rong seemed to be more capable, but also darker.Chen Guang wondered about this for three seconds, can he get a tan in winter?
Chen Guang put his arms behind his back and said, "How's it going?"

Yang Rong was so familiar with this place that he couldn't be more familiar with it. Hearing Chen Guang's question, he immediately said casually: "Now two factories and three residential buildings have been built, and the residential buildings can accommodate 6000 people. There are still 160 silver coins left. [-] three taels."

"That's right." Chen Guang nodded slightly, expressing his satisfaction, and said, "I asked you to count the number of women who can weave, have you counted them?"

Yang Rong took out a booklet and said, "It's all here."

Chen Guang casually flipped through the pages and said, "Well, not bad."

He walked inside, the ground was paved with stone slabs, and the factory buildings were neatly arranged like matchboxes, which had the taste of a modern industrial area. Walking among the houses, Chen Guang felt a sense of pride spontaneously.

The first factory in ancient times will be born in my own hands!The process of industrialization starts now!
In the factory building on the left, a hundred textile machines are lined up neatly, like soldiers preparing for inspection.When Chen Guang entered, several carpenters were polishing a machine.

Chen Guang came to a machine, looked around, and was very satisfied, so he asked Yang Rong to call the woman whose child died and teach her how to use the spinning machine.

This woman was so excited that she didn't know what to do to be taught by the prince herself, so she started to study very seriously.

This thing is easy to use, if Chen Guang teaches it at will, she will know it too.Chen Guang asked Yang Rong to organize all the women and let this woman teach them.

After staying in the Hope Project for more than half a day, Chen Guang left. At the same time, the Hope Project officially started.
