This time the speed of the group was obviously much faster.
After several days of traveling, we finally arrived at the border of Shandong this morning.
Shandong has had outstanding people since ancient times, and it is also the birthplace of Confucian culture.
Mount Tai, the first of the five mountains, is also located here.
I recall that when Li Er ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he once consecrated Zen in Mount Tai.
As they got closer to the border of Shandong, the populations of the cities they passed along the way were obviously much larger than those they had passed before.
Shandong is indeed the most populous province known as Great Xia, even if you have not been to Shandong.
The population is much larger than that of other places!
As the people walked, Zhao Mu felt emotional.
I looked up and saw Li Yue and Linglong.
"Presumably Ming Shu knows about Mount Tai and has seen Mount Tai, right?
You two should have heard of Mount Tai, have you never been there?"
The two shook their heads after hearing this.
I have indeed heard of this place, but I have never been to it.
"After the New Year, I can take you guys to Mount Tai.
Climb Mount Tai and let you watch the sun rise in the east."
"Thank you, husband."
Thinking back to those days, I also dreamed of going to Mount Tai, climbing to the top of Mount Tai, and seeing the first ray of sunshine in the morning.
However, this wish did not come true after all.
Later, after traveling to the Tang Dynasty, I stayed in Chang'an City and didn't think about visiting other places.
Until I came to Shandong today, I definitely wanted to have a good stroll in Shandong!
"Yes, grandson-in-law, if you go to climb Mount Tai then, I can arrange for some people to accompany you there.
That Mount Taishan is quite good, I once climbed to the top of it when I was young."
"You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will see all the mountains at a glance!"
"Hahahaha, yes, yes, this poem is very suitable for the top of Mount Tai.
You will be at the top of the mountain, and you will have a panoramic view of the mountains.
Only your grandson-in-law, a talented person with such ability, can say such bold and bold words."
As Confucius spoke, he also sighed with emotion on the side.
With that said, the group of people entered the city and started wandering around the entire city!
I have to admit that the cultural atmosphere of Shandong is very strong.
There are more scholars walking on the streets than in other cities.
Some people were holding books, reciting poems, and writing.
Some people are writing Spring Festival couplets with the word "福" on their side.
Writing Spring Festival couplets and writing the character "福" was originally practiced in Zhaojiazhuang.
In fact, before that, the businessmen who went to Zhaojiazhuang to do business also knew about this matter.
But things like this are not something they like as businessmen.
For things like this that don't make money, everyone just takes a look at it.
After all, these things don't make money, and everyone is just happy to watch the excitement.
This was also because Li Er felt very happy when he saw the couplets and the word "blessing" posted in Zhaojiazhuang, so he followed Li Mansion and posted them.
Immediately afterwards, arrangements were made at the palace.
It was a big deal to put up Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" on the side of the palace, and the families of other princes, grandsons, and ministers followed suit.
With the families of these princes, grandsons, and ministers following suit, the people of Chang'an City saw this scene and followed suit one after another.
After all, merchants cannot make money from this kind of thing, but the accompanying merchants spread these things to the surrounding areas.
The wealthy families in Chang'an City will post spring couplets with the word "Fu" on the Spring Festival day, which is a good symbol of blessing.
For the common people, the better the meaning, the more they like it.
In this way, the Spring Festival couplets and the word "Fu" were developed one after another.
It also allowed various cities to have tasks such as writing blessing characters and Spring Festival couplets.
Some scholars have also made a lot of money by writing blessings and Spring Festival couplets!
"Husband, I really didn't expect that the Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" first appeared in Zhuangzi.
Nowadays, the whole world has started the habit of writing Spring Festival couplets with the character "福".
"Yes, it's a good thing, and everyone likes it.
Especially the meaning of this thing is also very good.
The people of the Central Plains always like to come up with these meanings every time they celebrate festivals.
With these good meanings, these things can be sold at better prices!
"Would you ladies like to write Spring Festival couplets with the word "Fu" in them? The price is cheap and you can be a good person!"
"In that case, write me 20 blessing characters first, and then write me a few Spring Festival couplets."
"Madam, take a look, these are various styles of Spring Festival couplets.
You choose it yourself and see which one you want me to write for you!"
With that said, the noble lady picked up the book and looked at it carefully.
During this period, I selected a few and handed them over.
"Okay madam, I will arrange it for you right now!"
After hearing the people around them talking about this and that, Zhao Mu stepped forward and also made some inquiries.
Regarding the Spring Festival couplets, Fu Zi'er made some arrangements, asked about the price, and asked them to write a few pieces before taking them over.
"Not bad, quite good."
Sure enough, the wisdom of the ancients was really endless. The Spring Festival couplets that they had arranged in Zhuangzi had new twists here.
The couplets on the left and right rhyme very well and have a very good meaning.
Then use red paper with black characters. If it is posted on the left and right sides of the door, it will look very festive.
"My grandson-in-law, it's all thanks to you that people like them have such a way of making a living.
If you hadn't arranged this in Zhaojiazhuang, this method wouldn't have spread.
Otherwise, they wouldn’t have such an opportunity to make money.”
Ha ha ha ha.
As they talked, several people laughed, wandered around the county town for an afternoon, and then went to the inn to have dinner.
Rested here for a night, and set off again the next day.
Zhaojiazhuang.
It is said that after Li Er left Zhaojiazhuang that day, he returned to Chang'an City and immediately dispatched troops and generals to make arrangements for the Qiang people.
Regarding the two ores he lacked, according to what Li Er said.
Since I, the Tang Dynasty, cannot get it, and I am still in the territory of your Qiang people, I don't want to trade with you.
I might as well just rob you.
It was a pleasure to seize the ore.
Then he found an excuse and directly raised tens of thousands of troops and rushed westward to fight against the Qiang people.
He believed that as long as his army arrived in the territory of the Qiang people, they would be able to kill the Qiang people like nothing.
At this moment, after arranging these things, I left the palace and took a rest in Zhaojiazhuang.
If you want to eat barbecue, you can eat barbecue. If you want to eat hot pot, you can eat hot pot.
This matter was caused by my own tricks.
Feeling bored, he arranged for the prince, queen and others to return to the palace, and then called several other concubines in turn to come to Zhaojiazhuang to accompany him.
Even the housekeeper of Zhaojiazhuang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, this shopkeeper Li is really awesome.
At that time, I only felt that Shopkeeper Li only had that one wife, and I had not heard that Shopkeeper Li had so many other concubines.
This time I thought about it carefully in my mind, and I already had to change a lot of them this day.
And every one of them is so beautiful.
"Sir, eat some fruit."
He can eat the fruits as he wants and enjoy the vegetables as he wants.
I don't think he came here to help the young master look after the house, he just came here to eat good food.
The other concubines don't speak like the queen.
Everyone clung to His Majesty's body, wishing they could stay close to him for 12 hours.
"Zhuangzi, remember, you must obey my arrangements.
No one is allowed to reveal my identity. As long as I perform well, I will be rewarded when I return to the palace.
Of course, if you don’t perform well, huh.”
"Don't worry, sir, we know."
Just when Li Er and his concubines started wandering around Zhuangzi again.
Looking from a distance, a large number of horse-drawn carriages rushed over to the drug store and stopped at the door of the drug store.
Seeing this scene, Li Ersheng became curious and rushed over with a few people.
