"Auxiliary machine, you have done a good job these past two days, and I am very satisfied.
It's just that these grains are still not enough. If you send more people to buy more, I believe that my court will be able to survive next year's disaster!"
Changsun Wuji also understood what the so-called disaster next year meant.
Next year will be an eventful time for Datang. Now that they know it, all they can do is prepare in advance.
This will prevent you from having to deal with it after something happens in the future.
By then, things will really get serious.
"Now that your abs are done, I can leave these things to you, and I can rest assured.
However, apart from you and me, we must not let more people know about this matter, so as not to cause trouble."
"It's Your Majesty."
After the two talked, Changsun Wuji left the palace and was preparing to go home for the New Year.
The next thing will be handled by myself after the New Year.
Today is the 30th day of the twelfth lunar month, and the entire palace is full of joy.
Some major palaces were also arranged by Li Er to post Spring Festival couplets manually. The Spring Festival couplets on the left and right sides made people look really happy when they were red.
Also, the word "福" was posted up, and it was posted upside down according to the method learned in Zhaojiazhuang.
When people who don't understand the market hear this meaning, they all praise His Majesty for being so powerful.
In Chang'an City.
In the homes of all the kings, grandsons, and ministers, they also posted the Chinese characters "Fu" and Spring Festival couplets on the outermost gates so that everyone passing by could see them.
This is the blessing given by the Holy One himself, and the merchants who bought back the Spring Festival couplets with the words "Fu".
They don't stick them outside like other princes and ministers. Many people stick these things at the innermost part of the house, at the top of the front hall.
This is written by His Majesty himself. He can only post it for one night today. Waiting for tomorrow, he took off these Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" and put them in wooden boxes for storage. They will be posted next year.
What Li Er didn't know was that this operation caused the entire people to imitate it.
It has also formed an industry of writing blessings and Spring Festival couplets in the twelfth lunar month.
During the Chinese New Year in the second year, the country will be peaceful and the people will be safe, and there will be no need for me to use this method to make money.
This year, the Spring Festival couplets written and sealed by the current saint, who was given to these princes, ministers and ordinary people, and the word "blessing" have become extinct.
These princes, grandsons, and ministers didn't care at all and posted them directly outside to show the emperor's favor.
On the contrary, some businessmen just put it up on the 30th of the twelfth lunar month every year and take it off on the second day.
This continued for decades, and then the elders in the family passed away, and a new generation of young people began to take the helm.
Everything that had been going on was declared complete, and the pair of Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" lying quietly under the box never saw the light of day again.
There is no ever-lasting family, let alone a businessman.
Within a hundred years, the business failed and the whole family fell into the abyss.
However, everything the family could sell was sold off, but the hole was huge and still could not be filled.
As the Chinese New Year approaches, when everyone is at a loss what to do, they unintentionally dig out the Spring Festival couplets purchased by their ancestors with the character "福".
It is said that only a small part of the Spring Festival couplets with the character "Fu" in them were recorded in the history books of the Tang Dynasty.
It is said that Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, in order to help the people all over the world, personally wrote the Spring Festival couplets with the character "Fu" to raise funds to buy food and provide relief to the people.
The appearance of this couplet with the character "福" immediately shocked the entire upper class society in Chang'an City.
After a series of auctions, it was finally purchased by a mysterious man for a large sum of money, allowing the family to not only survive the difficulties, but also to thrive again.
In the palace, Li Er's descendants looked at the Spring Festival couplets written by Emperor Taizong with the word "Fu" and remembered the ancestral precepts of serving the country and the people. In fact, this is the best way to inspire future generations.
…
Zhaojiazhuang!
"Alas, you guys hang up those lanterns there.
Ah, yes, yes, go up a little on the left side, the left side is hanging a bit high, go down a little bit.
Not bad, not bad, pretty good. Remember, you must put everything in its proper place.
Have all the lanterns been hung up?"
"The butler has hung up all the lanterns."
"That's good, everyone, do your best, there will be big red envelopes tonight!"
"Thank you butler!
"With one operation, the whole Zhaojiazhuang took on a new look.
All the people in Zhuangzi put on new clothes.
Linglong stood in front of the mirror wearing a new cotton-padded jacket, looking left and right. She looked really good in this dress.
The young master is still awesome. He gives himself a new set of clothes every year. What is this called? Fashionable!
"Sister Linglong, this dress looks really beautiful on you."
"Xiao Yue, the dress the young master gave you is also so beautiful."
…
Night falls, Hanyuan Hall.
Only during the Chinese New Year, the Supreme Emperor Li Yuan, who was in the Daming Palace, would leave the Daming Palace and have fun with these young people.
Li Yuan sat at the top, while Li Er and Empress Changsun sat below the Supreme Emperor.
At the bottom is a group of concubines, princes, and princesses, all of whom are following the process step by step.
To show the royal majesty.
The Supreme Emperor looked at everything in front of him with a smile, enjoying the kneeling of everyone.
Maybe at this moment, he can feel the feeling of ruling the world!
On the other hand, Zhaojiazhuang does not have the same rules as the imperial palace.
At this moment, Zhuangzi and his party gathered in the restaurant and started making dumplings together.
During the Tang Dynasty, people in the Tang Dynasty did not have the habit of eating dumplings during the Chinese New Year. Zhao Mu was the first to do so. This was another person who accidentally led the trend of the Tang Dynasty.
Prepare several kinds of fillings so that everyone can eat whatever they want.
The custom of putting money in it has not yet started for Zhao Mu.
Mainly copper plates from the Tang Dynasty. Zhao Mu felt that if he put them in dumplings and ate the dumplings tonight, the person might not survive tomorrow.
Although copper coins, gold and silver are good, don't be greedy.
There were several tables in the restaurant, and the dishes were served first. The dumplings were placed in the pot and cooked in a moment.
With the sound of dumplings coming, bowls of dumplings were brought up.
"Master, I wish you a happy new year!"
Everyone in Zhaojiazhuang stood up quickly and took the lead in sending their blessings to the young master.
"Okay, okay, everyone, I also wish you a Happy New Year."
"Happy New Year, Mr. Zhao."
This is the first time Li Yue has celebrated the New Year outside the palace, and it is also a very meaningful year for him.
People of some status in Zhuangzi gathered here to eat the New Year's Eve dinner together and begin to watch the New Year's Eve.
