Daqin started with offering immortal medicine

In just three days, Li Yang, with the help of Jiang Zuofu, completed five hundred firecrackers for one hundred rings, ten firecrackers for one thousand rings, and five firecrackers for ten thousand rings.And fifty fireworks, two.

Of course, after Li Yang's on-site guidance demonstration and explanation, He Zhang and some participants in Jiangzuofu already knew how to make firecrackers and fireworks.Mass production is obviously only a matter of time.

It's just that it's impossible for most people in Xianyang to use firecrackers and fireworks in time for the New Year's Eve, because it's already New Year's Eve.

Li Yang gave all the five hundred firecrackers to the craftsmen who participated in the production of firecrackers, and the one thousand firecrackers to He Zhang, and asked him to distribute them to Li Si, Cao Shen, Zhang Cang and others.As for He Zhang himself, he was assigned two [-]-ring firecrackers, just enough to set off one for the New Year's Eve dinner and one for the first day of the Spring Festival.Of course, Li Yang didn't give him the only two [-]-shot fireworks, because he planned to set off these two fireworks on the square outside Xianyang Palace, so that people in Xianyang City could witness the fireworks together. brilliant.

…………

On New Year's Eve, peach charms were hung up in every household, and a pair of red Spring Festival couplets were pasted on the gate of Zhen Guojun's mansion.

This couplet was written by Li Si. Ever since the invention of paper, Qin has had calligraphy.

It can be said that if this Spring Festival couplet is kept until the 21st century, it will definitely be able to be replaced with a large villa in a first-tier city.

As soon as the red Spring Festival couplets were posted, countless pedestrians on the street stopped to watch and discuss.

You know, this is a novelty.

Some people couldn't help asking: "Why is this copybook posted at the gate?"

Uncle Wu would roll his eyes like an idiot, thinking about these ignorant humans, and then he would say with a high air: "Listen up, my Lord Zhen said that this thing is called Spring Festival couplets, which can ward off evil spirits." Eliminate disasters, welcome prosperity and enjoy blessings. Did you see the words on it, "New Year's celebration is celebrated, and the festive festival is called Changchun", it is a word of great auspiciousness, and my town's monarch's mansion will definitely have Yuqing next year."

When everyone heard it, they applauded.Then I ran to buy red paper, wrote auspicious words on it, and pasted it on both sides of the door frame.

Maybe, that's how people are. If an ordinary person does this, no one will follow suit, but if Lord Zhen said this, it must be the case, so there are many followers.

All of a sudden, in just one day, more than half of the people's doors in the entire city of Xianyang had Spring Festival couplets posted on their doors.

In the evening, Zhen Guojun's Mansion prepared a sumptuous New Year's Eve dinner early.

At this time, other people's houses were already beating drums to exorcise evil spirits. Li Yang moved the [-]-ring firecrackers to the gate of the mansion, and then drove the pedestrians who watched the excitement to a few meters away, and then spread the long firecrackers on the ground. into a long line.

Just a little lead, and the crackling sound didn't stop...

The [-]-ring firecrackers, and the craftsmanship of this kind of firecrackers are almost the same as the firecrackers of later generations, so the sound is extremely loud.

The sound of firecrackers was deafening, covering all the sound of gongs and drums around.

The fire suddenly appeared, the smoke was lingering, the aroma was tangy, and the red thick paper wrapped with firecrackers exploded all over the ground, as if a festive red carpet was laid at the entrance of the Zhen Guojun Mansion...

The [-]-thousand sound of earth red attracted countless people.

After the [-] rings of earth red were set off, Uncle Wu said proudly: "This is called firecrackers. If it rings [-] times, it is better than beating gongs to exorcise evil spirits. If you light such firecrackers during the Chinese New Year, you will not be afraid of evil disasters for a year." Near the house. It has a mellow fragrance, a thunderous sound, and red carpets all over the floor. It is really a must-have for Chinese New Year, festivals, and wedding celebrations!"

This time, everyone became very attracted to firecrackers, a good thing. Unfortunately, this kind of thing is simply not available for purchase right now.

Of course, at the same time, He Zhang's mansion also ignited a red earth red hanging with ten thousand rings.

This made He Zhang very proud.

See, what is it called? It's called Wan Lei Qiming!This is called earth red!

Li Si, Cao Shen, Meng Tian, ​​the few ministers of the National Council and the court also set off firecrackers.However, the firecrackers in their house only sounded a thousand times, and they all went off in one fell swoop.

Although the whole family was very excited, they were still very envious to hear the non-stop sound of firecrackers coming from Zhen Guojun's Mansion and He Zhang Mansion.

And those families without firecrackers are even more disappointed.

The children in their families asked them one after another, why are there no firecrackers in our house?

The parents had no choice but to coax: "Next year our family will also buy and set off firecrackers that are very, very long."

The child was very happy, clapping his hands and laughing: "Yes, yes! There will be firecrackers next year!"

Of course, at this time, the parents will say: "Hurry up and eat, and watch the fireworks after eating."

That's right, notices about setting off fireworks in the square at the entrance of Xianyang Palace have been plastered all over the city.On the evening of New Year's Eve, fireworks will be lit to celebrate the Spring Festival.At that time, the first emperor and the princes and ministers will watch it together and celebrate together.

Of course, although everyone still doesn't know what fireworks are, rumors about them spread all over the city, saying that those things will fly into the sky, and then bloom incomparably beautiful and brilliant flowers in the sky, which are incomparably gorgeous.

In short, this incident attracted countless people in Xianyang City.

Everyone waited for the New Year's Eve dinner, and rushed to the square in front of Xianyang Palace to gather as soon as possible...

Chapter 268 Ten Years A.D.

On New Year's Eve, countless people from Xianyang City gathered with their families in the direction of Xianyang Palace, and the entire square outside the gate of Xianyang Palace was crowded with people.

Everyone is full of curiosity, waiting for the so-called brilliant and gorgeous fireworks in the sky.

On the top of the Xianyang Palace, Ying Zheng and a group of civil and military ministers also came to the top of the city to enjoy the so-called fireworks at the invitation of Li Yang.

In the early days of Xianyang Palace and the streets of Xianyang City, lanterns were hung everywhere, and the Spring Festival couplets decorated every household in a festive manner.To be honest, under this kind of atmosphere, Li Yang is really happy.

Although the time and space are not the same as before, China is still that China, and the traditions of the Chinese nation are still the same as before, which makes Li Yang feel like a familiar "home".

In particular, with my own efforts, the custom of posting Spring Festival couplets has risen. With the mass production of firecrackers and fireworks, the atmosphere of the New Year next year will be even stronger.

Standing on the top of the city, Li Yang saw that the square was already full of people, and the time was almost up, so he ordered people to hang up the last earth red that hung ten thousand rings.

For the [-] firecrackers this time, Li Yang did not place them on the ground, but hung them on the city wall of Xianyang Palace with a bamboo pole.The long firecrackers stretched from the city wall to the ground.

In fact, Ying Zheng had already set off firecrackers at the New Year's Eve dinner in the palace. It was a thousand-ring firecrackers that Fusu snatched from He Zhang.

For this reason, at the New Year's Eve dinner, Ying Zheng and Fu Su were excited for a while.

However, when they heard the [-]-thousand non-stop ringing earth red coming from Li Yang and He Zhang's mansion, Ying Zheng and Fu Su were so angry that they scolded He Zhang and Li Yang for being heartless, and they kept longer firecracker.

Fortunately, however, Li Yang brought a [-]-ring firecracker and set it off at the gate of the palace, which comforted Ying Zheng a little.

Seeing that everyone had arrived and the long firecrackers were hung up, Ying Zheng said to Li Yang, "Mr. Zhen, can we set off the firecrackers now?"

Li Yang nodded: "I obey the order!"

After saying that, he waved to Habayashi who was in charge of setting off the firecrackers, and Habayashi immediately lit the fire.

Suddenly, the sound of "crackling" was loud, deafening and earth-shattering, and the tranquility of the entire Xianyang City was broken.

In the night, the bright spots of firecrackers are particularly obvious.This bright spot has been slipping up along with the fuse, sparks are flying, the aroma of the firecrackers is overflowing, and all the people are jubilant at the top of the city.As for pm2.5... a joke, China has set off firecrackers and fireworks for thousands of years, and the smoke is only temporary. Could it be that the quality of Qinqiu is uninhabitable?Let's not take the blame for industrial and automobile exhaust.

Li Yang decided to release it every New Year in the future, so that every commoner can afford it, and let the whole Chinese nation release it together during the New Year, celebrating together.

The sound of firecrackers brought joy to everyone's faces.

At this moment, Li Yang knew that firecrackers had the meaning they should have. What they brought was the joy of the new year, and what they erased were the troubles of the old year.

While the firecrackers were still crackling, the two fifty-shot fireworks placed on the square below the city head were also ignited...
