In the fourth year of Saint Ann, on the eleventh day of February.

At the vernal equinox, the spring water first emerges and the spring forest first blooms.

Dayan's ancestors taught that every year on the day of the spring equinox, the imperial court would hold a grand Ji Tian Huangzhuang outside Fengyang City. On this day, the emperor and all officials, both civil and military, wear civilian uniforms and help plow the fields.

The Jitian Grand Ceremony was grand in scale, and all civil and military officials of seventh grade or above in Fengyang City were required to attend. People from the vicinity of Jutian Huangzhuang were also allowed to come and visit the ceremony.

The imperial court held a land registration ceremony every year. On the one hand, it was to pray for good weather in the new year. On the other hand, it was to express the court's great emphasis on agricultural production and encourage people to work hard.

On this day, Jitian Huangzhuang outside Fengyang City was bustling with people. The emperor and the civil and military officials were surrounded by countless Dayan people who were watching the excitement.

Sacrificial altar.

All civil and military officials stood neatly under the sacrificial platform according to their rank. According to the rules of the Jitian Ceremony, the academician Meng Xianli first delivered a speech on behalf of the court.

After a while, Meng Xianli slowly walked towards the sacrificial altar, and the scene gradually became quiet, "Everyone, the annual Jitian Ceremony is about to begin. This year, my country has been enjoying good weather, peace and prosperity, and the country has become stronger and stronger... "

Half an hour later.

Meng Xianli's speech was still not over. There were golden pillars to rely on when he went to court in the Chaozheng Palace. Now he was standing helpless in this empty square. Lin Feng's legs were numb after standing for so long.

"Master Hu, how long will Mr. Meng Ge continue to talk? I won't be able to stand if he continues."

Hu Xin smiled and said, "Mr. Lin, if you persist a little longer, we will probably finish talking soon."

Sure enough, after a while, Meng Xianli's long speech finally came to an end.

"Next, I would like to invite Your Majesty to lead a hundred officials to attend the sacrificial ceremony."

After Meng Xianli finished speaking, Huangfu Gongcheng slowly walked towards the sacrificial platform. The sacrificial platform had three floors. In the center of the third-floor platform was a huge bronze tripod. Under the bronze tripod were placed the sacrifices of cattle, sheep and pigs.

Huangfu Gongcheng walked directly to the third-floor high platform, and then lit the bronze cauldron with a torch. The bronze cauldron began to emit thick black smoke. Then Huangfu Gongcheng returned to the second-floor high platform and picked up the already lit bronze cauldron. Buddha incense.

"The sacrifice begins!"

After Meng Xianli finished speaking, Huangfu Gongcheng raised the Buddhist incense in his hand high and bowed respectfully to the giant bronze cauldron.

Afterwards, the four princes of Rongxing and Hongfu who were standing on the high platform on the first floor, as well as the civil and military officials under the altar, also bowed and saluted.

"The ceremony is completed! Next, Your Majesty will be asked to lead the officials to plow the plow."

At this moment, Huangfu Gongcheng suddenly spoke, "Dear dear friends, and all the people of Dayan here, on this special day, I want to tell you some great news."

"Marquis Jiangling has recently developed a new type of plow. This type of plow saves time and effort in use. Now I would like to ask Marquis Jiangling to introduce this new type of plow to you personally."

"Clap clap clap..."

Huangfu Gongcheng was the first to applaud, and then the audience burst into warm applause.

The new plow is actually China's famous curved-column plow. As early as two months ago, Lin Feng ordered the steel factory in Lijiazhuang to start producing curved-column plows. Now, millions of curved-column plows have been produced.

The reason why it has not been announced to the public for a long time is because Huangfu Gongcheng wanted to announce it personally at the Jitian Ceremony to win over the people. Lin Feng was naturally happy to see this happen.

Today, there are tens of thousands of Quyuan plows waiting for sale in each of Dayan's seventy-two states.

It was finally his turn to speak. Lin Feng walked directly to the sacrificial altar. When he saw Lin Feng on the altar, the people at the scene immediately became lively. Knowing that Lin Feng was going to speak, the people quickly became quiet again.

"Everyone present, with the strong support of His Majesty, Lijiazhuang's Four-Wheel Steel Factory has successfully developed a new type of plow. Your Majesty officially named this plow the St. An plow. The efficiency of using the St. An plow to cultivate land is at least It is three times as long as the ordinary plow, which means that the work that used to take three days can be done in one day with the St. Ann plow.”

As soon as Lin Feng said this, the people at the scene were very excited and started talking...

"Dear citizens, the Sheng'an Li will be officially sold by Dayan Bank starting from tomorrow. Since the Sheng'an Li uses a lot of iron, each one will be sold for five taels of silver."

"However, His Majesty loves the people like his own sons and knows that the people have little money at home, so he decrees to allocate three million taels of silver from the royal treasury to subsidize the people who buy Sheng'an Li. As long as you take your own household loan to Dayan Bank to buy it. St. An's plow only costs two taels of silver."

"Your Majesty is diligent and caring for the people. He is the Holy Lord and a wise king. Having such a wise king in Dayan is really a blessing to the people and a blessing to the world!" Lin Feng's flattery made Huangfu Gongsheng's face break into a smile. flower.

Naturally, the civil and military officials standing under the sacrificial altar would not miss such a good opportunity to perform. They all saluted in unison and loudly said: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, Holy Might!"

Dayanbai present all knelt on the ground, feeling sincere gratitude to Huangfu for the three million taels of subsidy.

Huangfu Gongcheng was very satisfied with everyone's performance. At this moment, he finally realized the magic of money and firmly believed in Lin Feng's theory of money. As long as the court and the people have money, Dayan Guozuo will never fall.

Huangfu Gongcheng waved his hand to the audience, "Everyone bow down without courtesy. As the king of Dayan, I should do this."

"Thank you, Your Majesty."

At this moment, Huangfu Gongcheng's prestige among the people in the world has risen to a new height.

Afterwards, Huangfu Gongsheng led the civil and military officials to a piece of farmland under the altar, "Come here, bring me the Saint's Plow."

Sun He waved his hand, and a Guardsman guard came over with a curved shaft plow in both hands. With the help of the two Guardsmen, the ox-plow combination was quickly integrated, and Huangfu Gongcheng held the handle of the plow smoothly.

When Meng Xianli saw this, he immediately said: "His Royal Highness, please let His Majesty lead the cow."

According to Dayan's rules, only the prince was qualified to lead the emperor's cow. As soon as Meng Xianli said this, King Rong was overjoyed and immediately stepped forward to hold the cow's rope.

However, just when King Rong was secretly excited, Huangfu Gongcheng's next words instantly chilled him from head to toe.

"Prince Rong, please step back."

"Yes, Father!"

Huangfu Gongcheng looked at Lin Feng beside him and said, "Marquis Jiangling, the Sheng'an Plow is all your fault, so it's up to you to pull the ox for me!"

Lin Feng also knew Dayan's rules. At this time, Lin Feng wished he could disappear where he was. However, the emperor had a decree and Lin Feng had to step forward to help Huangfu succeed.

Lin Feng had always tried his best to avoid being involved in the dispute over the prince, but now Huangfu Gongcheng had pushed Lin Feng into the center of the dispute.

There was no other way, the emperor's fate was too great, so Lin Feng had no choice but to bite the bullet and give Huangfu Gongcheng a ride.

Soon, Huangfu Gongcheng plowed back and forth with the help of Lin Feng. According to the rules, it was time for the four princes to plow the land. As the eldest son of the emperor, Prince Rong stepped forward without hesitation.

"Marquis Jiangling, thank you for your hard work and help the four princes lead the oxen again."

"Sir, obey the order!"

Lin Feng suddenly became depressed. This was such a violation of the rules! There are so many Royal Guards on site, why should you ask me to lead the cow for you? I really believe that I am born in the year of the Ox.

Complaints are complaints, the ox must be led when it needs to be led. The four princes, Lin Feng, led the ox four more times. Then it was the turn of the civil and military officials to plow the fields, and Lin Feng could finally rest for a while.

Academician Meng Xianli was the first to help the plow, and then all the civil and military officials came on stage in order of rank. Lin Feng also took the opportunity to experience the feeling of plowing a field.

In the lively atmosphere, the Jitian Ceremony slowly came to an end.
