Dress to be a celebrity

The 27th year of Lichun in Xintai has been spent with more joy than in previous years.

In recent years, the prefect of the Song Dynasty has brought people to grow Jiahe Ruisui. Every year at the beginning of the Spring Festival, all the scholars, women, and children of the government will dress up freshly, and go to the east pavilion of the city to watch spring dramas and whip spring cattle.And this year, there was a great victory abroad. Those who were harmed by the captives and had to live in Hanzhong felt resentment and grief in their chests, and the joy of revenge was mixed with joy; Dasheng finally defeated the captives, and he raised his eyebrows fiercely.

This year's spring performances, the whole city advocated excellence, and all the artists packed up their belongings with all their heart, and went to the east gate of Nanzheng County to rehearse the spring performances.

Even many former famous actors who changed their careers to do business, bought textile machines to start workshops, or relied on rent collection for a living, now have turned out their clothes and musical instruments and rejoined the troupe of Performing Spring.This time, the old play of welcoming the gods in the spring is not excluded, but in response to the good news of the victory at the border, they acted "Yue Fei" adapted by the magistrate Song.

The person playing Yue Fei is the No. 1 actor in the city, and all the sons of the Yue family are unparalleled. Even the soldiers guarding the flag next to the young generals are beauties who need to spend forty or fifty renminbi to hear a scene in the Goulan courtyard.

Now these actors are all wearing brand-new costumes, majestic, dancing and singing, making people feel like they are on the battlefield; Artists performing martial arts and taming animals...

But the sum of these is not as good as the spring ox eyes decorated by the government this year.

In previous years, the spring cattle were only made of clay and decorated with colored silk paper flowers.This year, in order to wish a great victory in the grassland, Mr. Song "invented" the dry battery. He was so rich that he even covered the cow with glass bulbs of different colors, made a battery box with Eucommia glue, and stuffed it in the cow's mouth.

This box of spring cattle is well established and all kinds of arts are ready. The civil and military officials of Hanzhong Mansion and Hanzhong Wei also came out of the city to welcome them.

Although the King of Zhou was not a vassal in Hanzhong, but because the war is not over yet, he still has the responsibility of sitting in Hanzhong and taking care of military affairs, so he will not participate in these folk celebrations.Although he didn't participate, he was considerate of his uncle, so he gave Huan Ling a holiday and asked him to go to see the ceremony of Lichun together with officials from Hanzhong—I won't name names.

When they arrived, the Beginning of Spring celebration officially began.

The persuading official who was in charge of watching the spring cow came forward to salute, and asked the magistrate whether he wanted Huan Qianxian to light the lamp on the cow, or he should light it himself.

This kind of limelight should naturally be left to the leaders.

Song Shi turned half of his face, raised his eyebrows a little, his eyes hooked on his face, and asked very solemnly, "Master Qian Xian, would you like to light spring lanterns for Hanzhong Mansion?"

Mr. Huan naturally refused to accept his kindness, so he dismounted immediately, took the box that the farm official took out from the cow's mouth, and lightly pressed the switch.

All of a sudden, the bright and bright lights came on, illuminating the earth cow with brilliance.Although there is no inert gas in this era, with the stained glass lampshade, the lights illuminated are also colorful and colorful, which makes people unable to move their eyes away.

If you look at the lamp beads on the cow's body, you can recognize the two rows of big characters "Mountains and rivers are eternal" and "Yang my Tianwei" formed by red light cannons of different shades on the left and right ribs.

This is not just the Lichun ceremony, but also a celebration of the border victory!

A colorful light flashed before Huan Ling's eyes, and the eyes of all the civil and military men, theater troupes, and artists all over the city, the ladies, women, young and old who were waiting for the spring, also lit up in an instant with this brilliance.Song Zhifu brought a bouquet of early-blooming red roses from his greenhouse and taught him to insert them in the mouth of the land cow to cover the battery box that had just been put back.

The bright red petals and the lamp beads adorned on the cow's body complement each other, bringing the city of Hanzhong into the New Year.

Unconsciously, he clapped his hands and said "yes", and was about to call "Shiguan'er", but swallowed it back abruptly, and boasted with a smile: "Master Song arranged it properly."

Song Zhifu is lovely to hear that he praised himself in front of people, but he still has to pretend to be modest in front of so many people, please get on the horse and lead the local civil and military officials to the government office——

This trip was called Zouchun, and they, the officials, walked at the front, and the dancers walked and sang at the back. The native cow covered with lights was also carried to parade at the end of the queue.

The beginning of spring is also a rare festival. All the city's scholars, farmers, businessmen, men, women, old and young all come out to enjoy the spring and enjoy operas.If you go outside the door of a scholarly family, if there are children in the family who are educated, they will come out to compose poems and sing, thinking of "making a spring".

As Mr. Song, he no longer needs to compose poems, he just listens with a smile and becomes a judge.His Excellency Qian Xian was a person who could let go of his body and share the joy with the people, so he sang a few poems with all the students, all of them were poems praising this great victory and boasting of the loyalty and bravery of the soldiers.

Among this group of scholars are contributors to the Hanzhong Economic News, who have privately memorized the poems, waiting for them to be published tomorrow.

The Zouchun team circled around the city before finally returning to Fuzhi.You Chan, who sang the Lichun opera, dispersed outside the gate of the mansion, but the spring cow was carried to the front of the hall, ready to be whipped to pieces in the next day and rebuilt into statues, and the rest was distributed to the people to paint the walls to avoid evil.

The people on the spring outing gradually dispersed, but the officials did not disperse. The government office had already prepared spring cakes and wine for the festival, and held a banquet.Because there are greenhouses in the economic park, seasonal vegetables are grown daily, including traditional cabbage and white radish, melon and eggplant leaf vegetables are all available.In addition to the vegetables, they also cut bacon, ham, fried shredded pork with Beijing sauce, and even roasted a few hanging oven roast ducks...

When eating, only a little bit of each is wrapped in a thin spring pancake. The aroma of the meat is tempered by the clear vegetables, making it even more sweet and delicious.

Even though he was under Qian Xian's eyes, he couldn't eat and drink too much, and there were 32 big dishes at every turn, but the food was rich and palatable.

Even the town governors and thousands of households who can eat the most food are also satisfied. When everyone left, the newly appointed Hanzhongwei town governor Mr. Zhang was reluctant to leave, and wanted to stay and discuss with Song Shi about conscription— —

Zhou Zhenfu, who was in front of him, was promoted because he went to Beijing to present the "Flying Thunder Cannon" in the past, and he left the customs with Yang Jianjun, and he also brought two battalions of his confidant soldiers with him when he left.Not long after he was newly transferred to Hanzhong, there was no one in the camp, so he had to be recruited, because he was going to be a son of a good family in Hanzhong, and he had to discuss this matter with the government.

Song Zhifu naturally wanted to support the imperial court's military affairs, so he said: "Master Zhang just sets up flags to recruit troops, and the lower officials dare not stop them. However, the people in Hanzhong are rich, and it is easy to find jobs to support their families. Those who are willing to join the army are those who have the ambition to serve the country. I hope the general treats you well."

This is natural.

It turned out that the rations and salaries given by the imperial court were not enough, and the higher ups wanted benefits, and there were so many people who filled their pockets, that the military officers had to occupy the rations of the sergeants because they could not afford it.Now is the season for the imperial court to use troops. The supply of food and grass in the northwest is sufficient, and he is guarding such an auspicious place like Hanzhong. It's done once at sunrise.

Soldiers have to rely on more training before they dare to fight on the field.

In the Song Dynasty, he dared to copy Taizu’s sixteenth and four trainings during the palace examination. Now when discussing conscription with his colleagues, he directly used the experience of later generations and said: "When selecting candidates, choose strong and flexible people, and also choose people who are obedient and know how to advance and retreat. Those who know how to cooperate. Those who have a bad temper may dare to fight and not be timid after going to the battlefield, but soldiers still have to obey orders."

Zhang Zhenfu almost fell in love with him, he clenched his fist and slammed it on the palm of his hand, sighed: "Listening to your words is better than reading ten years of books. I also went to Hanzhong, listened to many great opinions of Master Song, saw a lot of weather in Hanzhong, Only then will you know what kind of soldier is a good soldier!"

He was so happy that he reached out to grab Song Shi's hand, but he heard a light cough in his ear, and only then realized that Song Shi was different from him——

He is a good man who is not masculine, but Song Zhifu and Huanqian are a pair of mandarin ducks.

The Holy Majesty bestowed the marriage, and there was also the eldest son of the emperor who was his brother-in-law.

Look at his brain!He almost shook his wife's hand, no wonder Master Huan was unhappy!

Zhang Zhenfu hastily withdrew his hand, brushed off the hem of his clothes, and smiled dryly: "My lords, take a seat. There are still many things in our army, so I will take my leave first!"

Huan Qianxian returned him a gentle smile, cupped his hands and said, "Zhang Zhenfu, go slowly."

Although Song Zhifu didn't shake his hand, he bowed neatly, but said he didn't dare to delay the military affairs, so he got up and sent him out.When he came back, he saw that Huan Qianxian was still waiting for him in the flower hall, but he didn't return to the palace, so he went up to him and said, "Master Zhang just scared us away."

The south wind in the north is not as prosperous as in the south of Fujian, and it is not like Suzhou, where everything is said to be famous and romantic. Zhang Zhenfu is probably a straight man.Before, he was only focused on talking about work and didn't realize it, so Huan Ling coughed, and when he remembered the relationship between the two of them, he ran away in fright.

Huan Ling just smiled lightly: "Who would scare away when he sees a broken sleeve? Zhang Zhenfu is a soldier, so he is very courageous. He must have left because he was in a hurry to recruit troops."

Believe it or not, Song Shiwai thought about it for himself...

Cannot enter.

He seemed to have been a straight man of steel for many years, so how come he has been dating Huan Ling for a few years and got married, so he can't remember his mentality back then?

Is this a loss of innocence or...was he really steeled back then?

Song Shi reached out and touched Huan Ling's face, wanting to make sure that his integrity was still there.As a result, when I touched it, I only felt that his skin was slippery, and I wanted to touch it twice more, and touch more places, and I couldn't remember what it was like to touch him before.

When he touched the little brother before, did he ever resist?

He sighed with some annoyance, wrapped his hands around the back of Huan Ling's head, and said in a low voice, "Cooperate, and I'll do an experiment."

I will not mention the results of this experiment, but his entanglement with the straight man's personality ended the next day.

The next day, he whipped and smashed the earth oxen, and asked the servants to take large pieces of molded small mans gods and earth oxen, scattered the soil and distributed it to the people, and then personally took the plastic statues to Zhou Wangfu to send the spring.In addition to King Zhou and Huan Ling, Zhang Zhenfu was also four ranks higher than him, and he was a military officer of the third rank. It would be disrespectful for this lord to ask someone else to send it, so he packed it in a lacquer box and sent it to the Acropolis himself.

On the way out of the city, he saw conscription notices hanging outside the doors of many workshops, blatantly recruiting soldiers from the factories!

Under the banner of conscription, the soldiers beat gongs and drums to praise the achievements of the great victory outside the pass, sang the song of defending the family and the country in "Legend of Yue Fei", and even more vigorously publicized that they Hanzhongwei made the "Flying Thunder Cannon" and were full of masters They were all taken to the frontier by the Zhenfu, where they made countless military exploits.

Now the common people's desire to protect their homes and the country is winning, and they sang, as expected, three floors inside and three floors outside, and I don't know how many people are willing to enter the barracks.But those soldiers actually became picky and shouted: "Priority is given to those who have planted experimental fields for Mr. Song! Priority is given to those who have been workers, miners and kiln workers are preferred, and those who have worked in Mr. Song's factory are the most preferred—"

Not only to choose a career, but also to choose physical fitness.

Those who have passed the first level will also play a game in the square in front of the factory to test their foot strength, hand, eye and body skills, and whether they can be obedient and cooperative on the battlefield... The preparations are so neat, it can be seen that they have long been attracted to These workers, just didn't say hello to him, so it's not easy to recruit directly.

He underestimated Master Zhang.

His senior brother is still his senior brother, and he knows the ancients better than him.Sure enough, Mr. Zhang was not scared away by the south wind, but had already seen the advanced nature of their workers, and was afraid that if he was too late, he would be too late to grab the human resources of their Hanzhong mansion!
