The He family was decorated with lanterns and colorful decorations, and the whole street was covered with red makeup.
In this era, red makeup is not popular everywhere, but red makeup is all over the streets.
It’s meaningful even if it’s not extravagant.
Of course I learned the story from Luo Youdu’s childhood when he married Fu Qing.
After Luo Youdu married Fu Qing'er, many people began to follow her example because of the celebrity effect.
After Luo Youdu became emperor, this matter gradually evolved into a custom.
Those who have a little bit of wealth in their family will put on some red makeup when marrying their wife to add to the celebration.
Fenshan Village is not big, but because there is an oil field in the mountain, Wuwei, a little-known village, has gained a lot of fame, and the economy has also been stimulated to a certain extent.
It has greatly enriched the lives of the people in the originally poor village.
Because the village is not big, the countryside and neighbors are extremely harmonious.
When there is a happy event for a family, the whole village basically comes out to help and have a feast together.
If someone in the village was really bullied, the whole village would fight together with hoes and shovels.
Two vegetable-washing women were chatting while washing shepherd's purse by the well.
"Who would have thought that a flower in our village would not be married to a scholar from the Tian family, but to a foreigner like Xiao He..."
"Don't let the village chief hear this, or worry about him scolding you. The village chief loves Xiao He. He originally expected Scholar Tian to make the village famous, but he didn't want Xiao He to praise His Majesty directly by name and give him a reward. Now. Now.
Who dares to say that Xiao He is a foreigner and the old village chief has to beat people up."
"That's right, our small village is the only one who can be named and praised by the emperor. I really should hold it in the palm of my hand. Isn't this daughter of the Qi family the matchmaker of the village chief himself?"
"Grandma of the He family must be lucky enough to have a good grandson. She is willing to take her all the way from Shu to our Jiangbei."
The two women were talking to each other.
The person behind the incident, He Zheng, had already picked up his wife and was riding a mule, surrounded by the children in the village, walking step by step towards home.
He Zheng looked back at the sedan chair, with a happy smile on his face.
When you bring your wife into the house and prepare to pray.
The old village chief, who was the witness of the marriage, said with a solemn face: "This is the first time you bow to His Majesty the Emperor. Without His Majesty the Emperor, how would you, Xiao He, be today?"
He Zheng said hurriedly: "It should be, it should be. Without His Majesty the Emperor, how could I, He Zheng, be where I am today..."
He Zheng was born in Gongjing County, Rongzhou. Gongjing County was named after the famous salt well Dagong Well.
He Zheng, who was born in Gongjing County, has had an indissoluble bond with Jing Yan since he was a child.
With his hard-working, honest and honest character, He Zheng attracted the attention of the master in charge of digging salt wells and accepted him as his apprentice.
This lasted twenty years.
He Zheng's parents died and he was dependent on his grandmother...
Grandma was the smallest duckweed in the troubled times. She originally planned to flee to the south of the Yangtze River, but she met a river bandit and was kidnapped to Jingnan. Finally, she followed the people who fled to Sichuan and entered Sichuan.
I was married and had children alone in Sichuan. When I got older, both of my children died, so I depended on my grandson. My biggest wish was to see if I had any relatives in my hometown.
He Zheng was filial and he had earned a lot over the years, so he simply took care of his elders' concerns and led his grandma out of Shu to Wuwei County.
He Zheng had never traveled far, so he didn't know that his Sichuan subway fare was extremely cheap in the Central Plains. Not to mention the round trip fare, even food and accommodation were a problem.
As a last resort, he went to Fenshan to work as a porter, carrying oil.
For convenience, I also stayed in Fenshan Village.
As the production of oil decreased, He Zheng was about to lose his job. Looking at the stupid way the local area exploited oil, he had an idea and used the drilling technology he learned in his hometown to successfully drill out the oil in the ground.
.
He Zheng also gained the favor of Wuwei County Magistrate Shi, who arranged for him to operate drilling wells to extract oil.
Drilling wells to extract salt and drilling wells to extract oil, although they have the same purpose, are slightly different.
He Zheng improved the drilling technology based on the characteristics of oil, making it more suitable for the exploration of oil fields.
The amount of oil provided by Wuwei County to the imperial court had increased significantly. Luo Youdu asked curiously.
After learning about the situation, he immediately ordered Wuwei County to commend He Zheng, and also rewarded him with hundreds of coins as an encouragement.
As a result, He Zheng's status was in vain and he became a man of the hour in Fenshan Village.
He Zheng knew that everything he had today was given by Luo Youdu, and he had no objection to the old village chief's reminder. He hurriedly pulled his wife and kowtowed three times respectfully in the direction of Bianjing.
**********
Bianjing!
Bafang Winery!
Guests gathered.
Bo Junren is talking about ancient heroes.
The so-called bojunren is a storyteller whose purpose is to make bojun smile, so he is called bojunren.
There was no real storytelling in this era, but there were already many wine shops and teahouses that invited eloquent performers to "speak" in order to attract customers.
What Bo Junren is talking about is the allusion of "Thirteen Soldiers Returning to Jade Gate", telling that historical story in an ups and downs and impassioned way.
Those who have not heard it applauded repeatedly, but those who have heard it are booing below, "Why is it "Thirteen Soldiers Return to Jade Gate" again, and there is no new story to tell?"
Bo Junren was obviously not good enough and was affected. He immediately apologized and said, "It's Zhang Qixian who was too slow to update. It's not that I only talk about "Thirteen Generals Return to the Jade Gate". If you are really angry,
You can go to the righteous school to find him and force him to write "The Biography of Loyalty and Justice" as soon as possible."
Bo Jun also cursed in his heart, why hasn't the boss sent a new issue of "Royal Daily"? He can't stand it anymore.
Newspapers appeared much earlier than most people realize.
The earliest record appeared in the Kaiyuan period of Emperor Xuanzong of the Tang Dynasty. At that time, it was commonly known as the Jinzouyuan Report. It was copied and distributed to various places by the Jinzouyuan and Jinzou officials who were stationed in Chang'an and were responsible for submitting memorials and reporting news.
Later it evolved into "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News", which recorded reports on court affairs, such as: One day the emperor personally plowed his land and performed the Nine Pushing Ceremony. One day hundreds of officials performed the Grand Shooting Ceremony in the south of Anfulou.
The leader of the Tibetan monarch asked his retinue to grant him the title of Zen. One day, the emperor returned from the east, but the reward was different and so on...
In short, the content is empty, so some scholars who are concerned with national affairs will buy it and study it.
Luo Youdu picked up "Kaiyuan Miscellaneous News" again and named it after "Royal Daily".
Although it was unavoidable to report on the affairs of the imperial court, some pages were also arranged to publish some collections of essays and shocking articles.
Luo Youdu cut off his support for Zhang Qixian since he became emperor, so as not to cause criticism and bring bad influence to Zhang Qixian himself. However, he arranged for Quan Xu to give Zhang Qixian financial support, and at the same time, he also asked people to spread the word that Zhang Qixian could
Submit articles to "Royal Daily" and earn royalties by writing.
Luo Youdu knew that Zhang Qixian liked to write historical biographies, and his "Old News of the Luoyang Emperor" was extremely well written.
At the same time, he also gave him a request: try to write in vernacular. Don't be pretentious or show off your writing skills.
Zhang Qixian wrote "The Legend of the Loyalty and Martyrs" in vernacular, using historical heroes as allusions, and won favorable reviews from the public.
The clever owner of the teahouse and wine shop has begun to buy the "Royal Daily News" and let the historical stories in the newspaper be told to customers in order to improve his business.
Bafang Liquor took advantage of this, and its daily customer flow surged.
Just when Bo Junren was tired of dealing with customers, the owner handed the new issue of "Royal Daily" to the other party.
The boss was so tired that he was out of breath and cursed in a low voice.
The sales volume of the "Royal Daily News" was not good at first, but as the quality of the content became excellent, the supply gradually exceeded the demand.
The owner of the wine shop went to buy it at the same time as usual, but it was sold out early. He was so anxious that he bought it from a scholar at three times the price.
Bo Junren hurriedly looked at the newspaper in his hand, his eyebrows dancing with joy.
People in Bojun are only proficient in writing. In the past, they would not be able to read ancient Chinese at all. Especially people with higher levels of education tend to write articles that are extremely mysterious and difficult to understand.
But this is not the case in the "Royal Daily". Except for occasionally publishing some ancient rhyme articles, whether it is court affairs or all aspects of knowledge, they are all presented in the form of vernacular.
Bojunren has no problem reading it.
"Okay, let's not talk about "The Legend of Loyalty" today, let's talk about the heroes of our dynasty!"
"It's difficult for Mr. Li. I believe everyone here has heard that he is the fool who doesn't know the heights of heaven and earth, and regards your majesty's kindness as a weakness that can be bullied. Now he is reaping the consequences."
"Dong Zunjie, the governor of Yanzhou in our dynasty, personally led a thousand soldiers to attack the bandits (herdsmen) in the Hengshan Mountains. He won a great victory and captured 600 horses. The governor of Youzhou sent troops to rescue them, allowing Dong to defeat them head-on.
, killed one hundred and fifty-three enemies, and Governor Dong led his troops back in triumph. The traitor generals dared not be convinced and gathered five thousand soldiers to go south. Governor Dong was well prepared and demolished the Qingshui River Bridge."
"When the bandits were dispatching troops to find other crossings, Governor Dong saw through the weakness of their scattered forces and used powerful crossbows to push back the bandits' defenders along the river. They forced a decisive battle across the river and defeated the bandits on the banks of the Qingshui River. Nine hundred bandits were killed directly.
Soldiers, the enemy Governor Youzhou fell into the chaos and was almost captured by Governor Dong."
Bo Junren elaborates on the news from the Royal Daily.
Waiting for time won the applause of the whole house.
"Okay, good kill!"
"Well done to Governor Dong. He deserves to be so cautious in front of His Majesty."
Bo Junren suppressed the noise and continued: "There is also Yao Neibin, the governor of Xizhou. This governor Yao is even more impressive. His Majesty the Emperor sent a total of four governors to deal with the Dingnan Li family, and the other three governors were more or less
They all made some achievements. But Governor Yao had no achievements at all. He didn't even send a single soldier to the north. Until five days ago, a few days before the summer harvest, he suddenly sent troops to Suizhou and stationed his troops in Suizhou City.
They set up camp in the fields outside the city in front of the thieves. In anger, the Suizhou governor led his troops out of the city to grab grain, and Yao was beaten severely by the governor before he returned to Suizhou in despair."
"In front of the people in Suizhou, Governor Yao cut off all the wheat outside Suizhou City and returned it to Xizhou!"
The atmosphere was in vain.
The excited people shouted: "Your Majesty is victorious, Yao is mighty!"
