Chapter 525 City God’s Statue Auction! [Requesting Monthly Ticket]
In the evening, as tanker trucks left the B&B one after another, the concrete pouring project at the oil base finally came to an end.
After Lu Bu was busy with this, he seized the time to transport various petroleum-related equipment in to improve production capacity and efficiency.
Mu Guiying was riding Li Yu’s motorcycle, carrying Zhao Xue back from the Hanfu Factory. She was complaining that she was hungry before the car stopped.
The two of them live broadcasted at the Hanfu Factory for an afternoon and tried on dozens of sets of Hanfu. From the initial excitement to the final effort, they felt more tired than riding a horse in a battle.
"Husband, what's for dinner tonight?"
Li Yu pointed to the kitchen and said:
"Sister-in-law Xiuhe is making fried buns. If you two are hungry, go and eat first."
As soon as Mu Guiying heard this, she and Zhao Xue ran to the kitchen. Not long after, each of them was carrying a plate of fried buns that were browned and their mouths were full of oil.
Diao Chan said in the afternoon that she wanted to eat fried buns, preferably the ones with burnt shells.
Xiuhe happened to be good at cooking, so dinner was changed to fried buns and spicy and sour pimple soup.
In order to prevent the pan-fried buns from not being enough, Xiuhe specially chopped some meat with sauce, soaked some vermicelli, and steamed a large pot of steamed buns with soy sauce and meat and vermicelli.
Not long after, Zhao Feng’s family and Zhao Yun came down from upstairs. Zhao Xue hurriedly ran over with a plate and gave Zhao Qian a fried bun first:
“I will learn from the second master’s wife today. What?”
“My father and my second uncle have already started to learn the fourth-grade elementary school curriculum after learning addition and subtraction within ten. I am far behind...”
When you come to the real world, you have to learn everything from scratch, especially the Zhao Feng family. If they settle in the real world in the future, they will not be able to do it without mastering the basic knowledge.
Although Zhao Yun is going to Water Margin to talk about Yue World, after all, he has to take the road of commander, and he still needs to learn some knowledge, so that he can better use technological equipment.
Now, in addition to studying during the day, he will also learn the art of war and army command skills from Yuwen Chengdu at night.
What about troop formation, marching arrangements, logistics coordination, camp defense, etc., Yuwen Chengdu combined the 3D map and talked about part of it every day, allowing Zhao Yun to digest it slowly.
There is still more than a month before the Mid-Autumn Festival, which is enough time for Zhao Yun's theory of army command to be improved to a higher level.
When you get to the world in the book, you can directly practice on the border of Song and Liao to accumulate experience.
When Diao Chan, who was wearing a white dress, came down from upstairs, everyone started eating dinner together.
Professor Zhou will attend the new department's dinner party with Pang Donghai tonight. She has deciphered an oracle in the past two days and plans to add the names of her new colleagues to become familiar with everyone.
Li Yu took a bite of the pan-fried bun, and then picked up a chopstick of refreshing garlic eggplant. He picked up his phone and sent a message back to Professor Zhou:
"You need me to drive to pick you up. You?”
"No, I don't drink. I will go back after eating later. In the morning, Xiaoxue mentioned the sweet plum chips, so I ended up going to buy some and give her a taste."
As expected of the master mother, she is I feel sorry for everyone... Li Yu praised in his heart and ordered a few more foods:
"The newly opened raw fried chicken stand next door to the train station sells roasted sweet potatoes, which is also good. Buy some when you come. I also brought some onion rings so that everyone could experience what their parents consider junk food."
"Okay, I'll buy more."
After finishing the chat, Li Yu ate the fried buns. I went down, put some chili oil into the pimple soup, stirred it, and ate it with the sauced pork buns.
Lu Bu was holding four or five steamed buns in his hand, and while eating, he was talking about Qubei, the Right Xian King of the Huns:
"This old boy is quite serious about building roads. Not only does he lead by example, but he is also very experienced. He can even burn fire and water." I also understand the method of stimulating. There are many stones blocking the road along the way. It is simply an innate road-building holy body."
Fire burning and water stimulating means to heat the stones first and then use cold water to stir them up. , the stone will become very brittle and suitable for digging. The Baoxian Road, the entrance to Shu, was built in the pre-Qin Dynasty. It used the method of burning water and burning it with fire. It even built a 16-meter-long tunnel, which was the earliest in history. Tunnels are dug manually.
Later Xiang Yu named Liu Bang King of Hanzhong. In order to show that he had no ambition to compete for the world, Liu Bang burned the plank road and said that he would retire in Sichuan and Shu in the future to reassure Xiang Yu.
However, not long after, Liu Bang felt that his strength was almost accumulated, so he had people rebuild the Baoxie Road into Guanzhong and made a gesture of attacking Guanzhong.
After the plank road into Shu was completely burned down, there was no way to build it for ten or eight years. The princes did not take Liu Bang's road construction to heart.
However, on the surface, this guy asked people to build a plank road, but secretly led his army to bypass another Shu road entering the pass - Chencang Road, and unexpectedly entered the pass.
The idiom "Building the plank road in the open and building the plank in the dark" comes from this.
During the Han Dynasty, Baoxie Road was repaired several times and became the official road to Shu. Later, Zhuge Liang would go to Baoxie Road almost every time he left Qishan. The Wuzhangyuan where he fell was right next to Baoxie Road. The end.
During the First Northern Expedition, the feint attacks led by Zhao Yun and Deng Zhi also followed the Baoxie Road.
It's a pity that Ma Su was used incorrectly that time, resulting in a total loss. If he had been replaced by Wang Ping, the first guard of Xishu, he might have captured Liangzhou in the first Northern Expedition, and then captured Guanzhong, replicating Liu Bang's feat of establishing the Han Dynasty. .
Yuwen Chengdu asked:
"Is King Youxian reliable?"
There are too many examples of aliens being raised as white-eyed wolves. He was afraid that he would be humbled by reuse. Will make the same mistakes again.
Lu Bu bit off half of the sauced pork bun in one bite and said while chewing:
"It's reliable. My master believes that he won't have any second thoughts... Qubei has led the tribe to convert to the Five Pecks of Rice religion, completely abandoning the Immortality Heaven. He also tied his hair and wore a crown according to the Han people's way, and changed the tribe's name to The Chinese name is very thoroughly Chineseized."
Zhao Yun thought of the history of Wuhuanhua he had learned at noon, and asked alertly:
"If it is Liu, it must be changed. Attention.”
The Liu Yuan family changed their surname to Liu and claimed that they had the blood of the Han emperor, and finally became the emperor. When other foreigners saw this, they also followed suit.
Lu Bu took a sip of pimple soup from the big bowl and said with a smile:
"The entire Youxianwang tribe all added the surname Zhang in front of their names. If they go to Bei, they will be called Zhang Qubei. In the future, their children will be named according to the Han people's seniority."
Surname Zhang?
This guy is very good at avoiding suspicion.
Having the same surname as a god of faith can not only reassure the court, but also allow Zhang Daoling to take care of him.
Li Yu said:
"Since he is so enthusiastic, while you are still at the oil base, I will buy him some excavators, forklifts and road rollers so that he can build roads."
Anyway, the oil base has a steady supply of diesel, which can Add some machinery to the road construction team, so that the construction efficiency will be higher.
When the road is built to the Guanzhong Plain, Qubei will start building official roads to Liangzhou, Beidi and other directions with Chang'an as the center.
As for the official roads to Hedong and Luoyang, they are almost completed. As long as a few more bridges are built, the roads in the Guanzhong Plain will become smooth.
Yuwen Chengdu is more concerned about the battle to enter Shu:
"Which road does Huang Governor plan to take to transport supplies to Hanzhong?"
There are five crooked paths leading from Hanzhong to Guanzhong, namely Qishan Road leading to Tianshui County, Chencang Road leading to Chencang, and Qishan Road leading to Tianshui County. Baoxie Road in Xi County, Tangluo Road leading to Wugong County, and Ziwu Road leading to Chang'an City.
The Qishan Road is too far away and is usually used by surprise troops. The Ziwu Road in the Han Dynasty has not yet been developed and is an impassable road. Although the Tangluo Road is relatively close to Chang'an, it requires Crossing several mountain streams, it is not suitable for carrying baggage, let alone transporting grain and grass.
The only way to go is Baoxie Road and Chencang Road.
Baoxie Road is relatively close, while Chencang Road can be transported by water on the upper reaches of the Jialing River. Both sides have their own advantages.
Lu Bu said:
"Crawler transport vehicles cannot be used on Baoxie Road, only horse-drawn carriages. Some damaged areas need to be repaired. Huang Wan is sending his men to inspect the entire road and move the two roads between Xixian County and Chencang. The land was used as a distribution center for supplies in Guanzhong and transported to Hanzhong in two ways. "
This is a safer way to avoid congestion.
However, Ziwu Road must be repaired. After all, it is the road facing Chang'an, and the distance is short, leading directly to the Hanzhong Basin... Although this road was in a deserted state during the Han Dynasty, except for the sixth among the Five Tigers of Shu Han, Except for people like Wei Yan, only Zhong Hui has walked through it once, but in the Tang Dynasty, this road shined.
During the Kaiyuan period, Ziwu Road was renovated and became an important road from Chang'an to the Sichuan and Sichuan regions. There was an endless stream of merchants traveling from south to north, including lychees that were specially transported through eight hundred miles. . Yes, the lychees in "The Concubine Riding the Red Dust Smiling, No One Knows It's the Lychees" were sent to Chang'an through Ziwu Road, so this road is also called the Lychee Road.
Mu Guiying asked:
"Is Baoxie Dao related to Bao Si?"
Diao Chan has recently studied ancient history by herself and is very familiar with this history:< br>
"It's relevant. King You of Zhou built a plank road to attack Shu. When he encountered Bao on the way, he destroyed it and took Bao's princess back as a trophy. Later, there was a story about the beacon fire play on the princes. ”
Mu Guiying was astonished:
"To light a beacon just for the sake of a beautiful woman's smile is really a typical act of boiling sheep."
Zhao Xue touched her with her elbow:
"Your Majesty, Third Master Mother, if you were King Zhou You, how would you make Bao Si happy?"
"This is too simple, I just took off her clothes and threw them into the snow, and the second Early in the morning, isn’t the lifelike smiling face coming out?”
I'm already an emperor and I still make you laugh. I'm so used to making you laugh!
But if she is my Queen, she will naturally have to rack her brains to please her. At the worst possible outcome, she can just change into the nurse uniform he likes. I don’t believe he can keep a straight face.
While everyone was having dinner in a lively manner, in the court hall of the Three Kingdoms, an auction for the canonization of the City God was going on.
Since the decision to enthrone the city god, Zhang Lu and others have been spreading the word about this matter, so much so that many wealthy families are gearing up to win a godly position for their ancestors.
Before seeing the gods, everyone didn’t think this throne was of any use. But not long ago, they saw the goddess Nuwa appearing as a saint, and all the aristocratic families were ready to take action.
My own god, if I get this, it can't be just a matter of words to protect future generations, right?
Although the status of the City God is not high and cannot be compared with that of the Nuwa Empress, the family does not intend to ask the ancestor to do anything. If nothing happens, it will rain, ensure a good harvest, and protect the healthy growth of the descendants. This is enough. .
Many aristocratic families even borrowed grain, planning to give it a try and turn their bicycles into motorcycles.
Now the atmosphere is very good. Under Zhang Lu's deception, some aristocratic families have even begun to carve stone statues of the City God for their ancestors.
This imperative posture has invisibly put pressure on other families.
The Han Dynasty has lasted for four hundred years, and every county in Guanzhong has produced many famous people, which made the auction enter a fever pitch before it even started.
A group of courtiers were noisy and noisy like merchants, which was not in line with court etiquette, so the auction started after the official business had been discussed and Liu Xie left first.
Tian Feng carried a small hammer and served as the auctioneer.
Of course, the word "auction" is too indecent, and it is disrespectful to describe the position of immortal as a businessman's business, so the auctioneer changed it to "Xiao Shen Ling".
If you want your ancestor to gain the status of god, then show your filial piety.
As for what filial piety is, it naturally means food, land, and collection of books.
In the future, the imperial court will print a batch of books, and each family's book collection will have to contribute. However, it would be too ugly to ask for them directly, so Jia Xu was involved in the auction.
While Tian Feng was presiding over the meeting, Jia Xu drank tea seriously, and occasionally pinched some crispy peanuts from the stove nearby to taste, which was very satisfying.
Xun Yu led several of his men, holding pens and papers, to take notes.
Guo Jia led Deng Zhi, Ma Dai, Ma Chao, Hao Zhao and other young generals to stand around the main hall and come out to maintain order in the event of a disturbance.
When everything was ready, Xiao Shen ordered Tian Feng to strike with a small hammer, starting from the Wugong County Town God's Temple.
The main aristocratic family in Wugong County is the Su family, which is Su Wu’s family. Starting from Su Wu’s father Su Jian, the Su family has developed in Wugong County for more than two hundred years. Half of the county is now The surname is Su.
However, in recent decades, the Su family has declined. Although he also held official positions in the court, they were only minor officials. Su Ze, who once again brought the martial arts Su family to the top ranks of aristocratic families, is still hiding in Gansu. Difficult, there is no official career.
It is precisely because the Su family has no high-ranking officials that many courtiers have the idea of Wugong County. As soon as Tian Feng revealed the amount of food needed, a group of families began to raise the price.
However, several petty officials of the Su family were quite united and immediately doubled the amount of grain and the area of land.
Yang Biao originally planned to ask his clan brother Yang Qi to follow suit and raise the price. Seeing how united the Su family was, he wisely kept silent... It was so fierce from the beginning that there was no need to raise the price.
In the end, the Wugong Su family took over the Wugong County Town God's Temple at a sky-high price for half of the county's land.
But several people had differences over which ancestor should be the city god.
Logically speaking, it should be Su Jian, the ancestor of the Su family, but in terms of fame, Su Wu, who has been herding sheep on Lake Baikal for nineteen years, is more famous.
When several people were arguing, Jia Xu reminded:
"I, a great man, rule the world with filial piety. Please put yourself in his shoes and think about it. If Su Ziqing were alive, would he choose himself or his father, Marquis Pingling?"
These words reminded several minor officials of the Su family, everyone After some discussion, it was finally decided to make Su Jian, the ancestor of the Su family, the city god.
After confirming this matter, several people thanked Jia Xu and planned to go back.
After completing the matters assigned by the family, the Su family was unable to get involved in other counties, so they simply went back from get off work to prepare land and food, deliver it to the court as soon as possible, and get the canonization edict.
Jia Xu said:
"I have heard for a long time that Su Ze has a reputation as a virtuous person. If you can contact him, please let me know. Your Majesty is very thirsty for talents and hopes that Su Wenshi can join the court as an official."
Su Ze was a great person during the Cao Wei period. , has both political skills and military acumen. In history, he once put down the rebellions in the four counties of Jincheng, Wuwei, Jiuquan, and Dunhuang with his county soldiers alone, and also weakened the Qiang people in the Xiliang area.
After Wugong County is confirmed, it is time for other counties to compete for it.
Core members such as Yang Biao, Yang Qi, and Zhang Xi had already learned of the imperial court’s intentions and did not occupy more. They only stepped forward to raise prices when there was a lull.
Towards noon, the city gods of the counties in Guanzhong were finally determined.
The imperial court obtained nearly 10 million acres of fertile land, countless grains, and hundreds of thousands of books. The harvest was more than imagined.
But the most curious thing is that the Yang family actually contributed all the fertile land. Do they plan to drink from the northwest wind in the future?
Just when everyone thought that the Yang family's head was caught in the door, the imperial edict came down for Yang Qi to serve as an official salt order. In addition, the imperial court also allocated a mountain to the Yang family.
The mountains are not important, the important thing is that there are iron ores on them, and there are more than one.
Obviously, the Yang family will open mines to make iron for the imperial court in the future.
Yang Biao served as a lieutenant in the court, his son was in charge of the industrial zone, his brother was in charge of the production, transportation and sales of official salt, and the family mined and smelted iron... In less than a year, the Yang family completely completed the transformation from agriculture to industrialization.
As the first family to eat crabs, they will naturally receive preferential treatment.
However, the edict is very detailed. From now on, the iron smelted by the Yang family can only be supplied to the imperial court. Once it is discovered that it is being sold privately, it will be severely punished according to the law!
Zhang Xi touched Yang Biao with his shoulder:
"Old Yang, this is wrong. It is not good to eat alone."
Good guys, I thought you Yang family had collectively gone crazy, but I didn’t expect such a great thing to happen.
Since the reign of Wenjing, everyone has realized the huge profits brought by salt and iron. Now the Yang family has quietly extended its hands to it, which makes people crazy with jealousy.
Yang Biao chuckled:
“We are just concerned about His Majesty’s concerns and think about His Majesty’s thoughts. We have been given so much burden at once, and I have to explain to my family a lot to prevent them from causing trouble. . ”
Stop pretending, you are still arguing after you have been ordered to open the mines. Even if you are arguing, it is because the mines given are too little, right?
Zhang Xi felt that he had to do something and gain some benefits for the family.
Yang Biao reminded in a low voice:
"Every family has donated a lot of land, and the remaining land cannot feed too many people. Does Zhang Sikong know what to do?"
Can’t feed too many people?
What does this mean?
Zhang Xi thought about it for a moment, and suddenly thought about the hiding of people in various families.
In the past, there was a lot of land, and each family would hide a large number of people. Now that the family's land has become less, they may not be able to support the population if they hide anymore... We can do a census and register the people released by each family. book!
Thinking of this, Zhang Xi planned to visit the field and then write a memorial to explain the benefits of population statistics.
The Yang family eats meat, so we can’t even drink the soup, right?
After the courtiers left, Jia Xu took a sip of tea from the thermos cup and said to Guo Jia:
"Take advantage of this land transfer to investigate the situation of each family's hidden population. If someone goes too far, take the opportunity to beat them..."
