Chapter 164 Spring Celebration The Canal This...

Spring is coming to an end soon, most of the planting work has been completed, and Blazing Sun City ushered in a lively spring festival.

The lord is obliged to hold two celebration banquets for the people every year, one in the spring and one in the autumn harvest.But under normal circumstances, few lords followed this rule, and everyone invariably forgot about the Spring Festival. This might be related to the fact that the kingdom was too turbulent and poor.Now that we are gradually entering the stage of peace and prosperity, these things have naturally developed.

The Spring Ceremony in Blazing Sun City was still organized by Gao Lian. Gao Li spent a long time in the Imperial Library during the Spring Ceremony, trying to find records about the previous Spring Ceremony.

As a result, the recorded things were messed up, and they looked high-spirited.

While studying these records, Gao Qiu went to ask the imperial officials for advice, but those officials also hesitated to explain clearly. After he hesitated for a long time, they asked him to find the court poet.So Gao Qiu went to the court poet, compared the records in the poems and classics, and finally determined the flow of the spring ceremony.

China has been a country of etiquette since ancient times, and Gao Li and the others attach great importance to these etiquettes.

The spring celebration started, and it was announced that everyone who came to the celebration would receive a free sausage, which was very attractive. Thousands of civilians came to the big square where the celebration was held that day.

The celebration process began, and Rhett V made a speech on the stage.Then push up a pig, a cow, a chicken, and a sheep, and they are all tied up firmly with ropes.

Next, Rhett V needs to stab the cow to death with a knife, and then drink a bowl of blood on the spot to show his bravery.

Leonard watched Rhett V trying to drink blood, and thought to himself, fortunately, he is not a king yet.

The people below cheered.

For commoners and minor nobles, Rhett V is called the last Mingjun.A large part of them can't see the changes in the court, they can only see that the country is indeed changing now, the people will not go hungry and cold, and the current emperor is Rhett V, so They still support him.

The next few livestock will be slaughtered and roasted. Rhett V will be the first to eat, and then the ministers will eat together.

Of course, at this time, the civilians are not watching dryly, and all kinds of food during the celebration will be distributed to them.After eating for a while, the dance begins. Before the dance, Leonard will give a speech, and finally Leonard will toast together to wish the prosperity of the empire.Basically gone.

There are also some more detailed etiquette, and these etiquette cultures play an important role in the image of the royal family.Yan Yuan, a thinker in the early Qing Dynasty, said: "If a country respects propriety, the country will prosper; if a family respects propriety, the family will prosper."

The animals are quickly processed, then iron bars are inserted and placed over the flames for live grilling.The flame continuously adds charcoal and fruit wood, so that the taste of charcoal grilling and the faint fragrance of fruit wood are absorbed by the barbecue.The fat emerges from the skin of the meat and falls into the fire to make a sizzling sound. The smell of meat and oil blows to the face, which is extremely attractive.

There are some common fruits here, such as blackberries, blueberries, avocados, strawberries, raspberries, and dragon fruits. Most of these are cultivated from the seeds rewarded by the system. All of them are delicious, sweet and sour, and sweet. Incomparable.The civilians stared wide-eyed after eating it. They didn't know that these fruits could be so delicious.The summer and autumn seasons are the time to bear fruit, so you can eat with your belly open, which is quite enjoyable.

Plus plenty of beer.The hops of Bramble Green are famous all over the continent. The beer brewed with Bramble Green hops is white and rich in foam, delicate and delicious.

Barbecue, beer, fruit, it's simply delicious.

After the spring celebration, it officially entered the summer. Leonard went to the territory of Eagle Bruce, and when he returned, alfalfa had already been planted all over the mountains and plains outside the Dome City.

In the middle of the summer, the river at Briar Green was flooding. Even though his elder brother Graham said it was unnecessary, Leonard sent someone to fix it after hearing about it.

There is only one order: "blocking is worse than sparse".It is Dayu's strategy of governing the Yellow River in the past.

China's 5000 years of history are all excellent experience in governing the country in detail.

Newly dug river channels, and planted bermudagrass or ryegrass on both sides to fix the soil.Bermudagrass is a low herbaceous plant with strong rhizome reproduction ability and fast spreading. If it grows in farmland or orchard, it is a very bad weed, but here it is the number one embankment and soil protection plant.Ryegrass also fixes soil, but is used more for pasture.Needless to say, the place where ryegrass is planted is naturally close to the farmland, and when the season comes, you can bring your livestock to eat a wave of pasture.

The train is still being studied, and the gunpowder weapon has not stopped.

Leonard waited impatiently for the train to come out, and Wei Zhongxian suggested: "Since we already have gunpowder, we can dig a canal first to promote traffic, and we can discuss the matter of the train in the long run."

Leonard slapped his head, why did he forget this?

Canals are of great significance to economic development.Leonard still vaguely remembered some discussions about the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal in the history textbooks back then.

Using gunpowder to make explosives, the large stones encountered during the excavation process can be quickly disposed of, which can greatly increase the speed of canal digging.And doing such a big project can also absorb a lot of labor, which is what Leonard has always wanted.

There are still quite a lot of rivers in the empire. After Leonard became the prime minister, he gave the order to redraw the map.This was a big project in ancient times, and it took a long time to complete.Despite this, Leonard already has a new map of the empire that is far more accurate and detailed than the previous maps.

He and Wei Zhongxian looked at the rivers on the map together. Wei Zhongxian stretched out his hand and drew a few lines: "Connect these rivers with canals."

Leonard nodded, "Then this matter..."

Wei Zhongxian wiped his sweat: "Lord Lord, I really can't get out."

"Okay." Leonard said, "Then leave it to Zhi Zhai."

Although Heshen needs to be in charge of the entire Broken Star City, as well as manage most of the empire's commercial affairs, and be responsible for mining the minerals in the west of the empire, he must be able to dig a canal one more thing.Leonard thought guiltily.After all, that is fasting.

Hurry up to deliver the letter, and He Shen's reply came the next evening.

Very rebelliously replied to a blank letter paper, which shows He Shen's speechlessness.

Leonard said hypocritically: "Look, Wanwu and Zhizhai are too happy to speak."

Wei Zhongxian: "..."

Wei Zhongxian rolled his eyes in an inelegant manner.

At the end of summer, the flood control of Thorny Green River was completed, and tens of thousands of acres of fertile land were obtained.

You can continue farming!

The soil in the floodplain is very fertile, and when the land is completely reclaimed and planted with food, it will be able to feed tens of thousands of people.

Leonard returned to Blazing Sun City after inspecting the land, and immediately ordered the people to be summoned to reclaim the land.

Unexpectedly, Wei Zhongxian said: "My lord, there is no one left."

"Why is there no one?" Leonard asked, "The labor force here in Blazing Sun City has been absorbed, so go outside."

"There is no one outside." Wei Zhongxian said, "Factories in various places are gradually opening up, and nearly ten thousand people have become workers, and many refugees from all over the country gather in Little Thorn Fort. There is really no one in Little Thorn Fort. , you also know. Now Zhizhai’s canal building has recruited a lot of people, and there is really no one on our side.”

"Then why don't you and Zhizhai grab some people?" Leonard gave a bad idea.

Wei Zhongxian sighed, "I stole it, Zhizhai said that each depends on his ability."

"You can't grab him?" Leonard was a little surprised.

"Zhi Zhai promised to give them ten silver coins per month." Wei Zhongxian said, "So how could those people follow me to reclaim wasteland?"

Leonard was surprised again: "Where did he get so much money?"

"Of course he doesn't have so much money, but he lobbied the nobles, saying that the section of the canal has not yet been named. This will be an important canal in the empire in the future. It is an honor to be named after his own family." Wei Zhongxian said, "So he He sold the names of more than 30 sections of the canal and got hundreds of thousands of gold coins, so he must have left a lot after paying all the silver coins to the people.”

Leonard: "Poof..."

This is very peaceful.

After laughing, Leonard was momentarily speechless.

The population of Europe in the Middle Ages was not large, and this place is not like China, where a bunch of people can be pulled out casually.

In the past few years, we have been encouraging childbirth, which is very effective, but this is not a game. After several times the speed, the population will skyrocket.

Leonard thought and thought, "Why don't we go...overseas?"

"The current plan can only be this way." Wei Zhongxian said.

Then Zhang Hongfan had to act faster.

After confirming the policy of overseas development, Leonard is in a good mood.
