Go to ancient times and engage in construction

After the Taimiao Burning Sacrifice was over, Lord Ulsan looked back and called Zheng Yuming to him, took him by the hand and got on a double-wheeled car.

Ulsan Lord’s special double-wheeled chariot is driven by two tall horses. The chariot has a gorgeous canopy and is exposed on all sides. It can seat two people. Ulsan Lord and Zheng Yuming are sitting together, slowly heading towards Ulsan from the temple. The monarch's mansion drove away, and the nobles of Dacheng got on their respective vehicles one by one and followed behind.

The convoy was walking on the main road of Dalseong, and the people standing on both sides cheered for Ulsan Lord's canopy car, and threw flowers into the car one after another. In less than a moment, the bodies of Gongzi Guang and Zheng Yuming in the car were covered with flowers.

Gongzi Guang and Zheng Yuming both had fair complexion and handsome looks. In people's eyes, they seemed to be a pair of beauties. The young girls not only threw flowers, but also wrapped their jewelry in cloth and threw them on the cart. .Zheng Yuming opened a silk bag that fell into his arms. He thought it was filled with flower petals, but when he found out that the silk wrapped was half a pair of earrings, his face froze.

"Zheng Qing, the owner of this earring asked you for a date." Young Master Guang felt that the change of Zheng Yuming's face was very interesting.

"Ask for an appointment?" Zheng Yuming turned to Young Master Guangxun to explain.

"As long as you stand by the moat of Dacheng with this half pair of earrings, the owner of the earrings will take the other half pair to go to the appointment. The half pair of jewelry is inside the thrown silk cloth, which is the proof of the appointment." Young Master Guang unwrapped another silk bag on his body and showed Zheng Yuming the jewelry inside. The rolled bag contained a bracelet.

"What about after the appointment?" Zheng Yuming blushed, the courtship of these ancient girls was really straightforward.

"Go to the appointment and get along satisfactorily, then come to the door to propose marriage, if you think it's not suitable, return half of the token to the original owner, and then go your separate ways."

"Eh..." Zheng Yuming was even more ashamed. He was efficient and free-spirited. If he had encountered such a blind date in modern times, the problem of being single would have been resolved long ago.

"This jade pendant is well carved." Zheng Yuming untied another silk bag, took out a piece of jade pendant and examined it carefully.

"Does Zheng Qing like jade?" Young Master Guang turned dark, took the jade pendant from Zheng Yuming's hand, and threw it into a basket by his feet. Neither he nor Zheng Yuming will go to the appointment tonight, and the jewelry in the silk bag will not be held until tomorrow It will be placed in front of the gate of the emperor's mansion to collect it, and the person who sent the invitation only needs to hold half a pair in his hand to get back the invitation item thrown out.The jade pendant that Zheng Yuming saw just now was not thrown by a girl, but a man's jewelry.

"I don't like it too much." Zheng Yuming thought for a while. He didn't like jade, emeralds, and diamonds too much. What he liked most was the red notes from the Celestial Dynasty.When Zheng Yuming thought about it, he suddenly realized that he was really a vulgar person.

"There are only a few pairs of jade ornaments with higher prices, and I will bestow them on Zheng Qing." The young master glanced at Zheng Yuming's whole body, and found that Zheng Yuming had no jade ornaments on his body. How can a jade-like person be without jade ornaments!

"Young Master's reward is too heavy, please take it back!" Zheng Yuming immediately refused when he heard that Young Master Guang wanted to reward several pairs of jade.

"Zheng Qing is not allowed to be polite to Guang!" Young Master Guang feigned anger.

"Yu Ming thank you for the reward, young master." Zheng Yuming knew that the reward could not be turned down when he saw the young master's face, so he had to accept it, but he was thinking about what to give Wei Shen from Nanbu so that Wei Shen would not feel bad for young master Guang Be generous with him.Although Wei Shen never stopped Lord Ulsan from rewarding his subjects, but when the rewards were too heavy, the corners of his eyes always twitched a few times involuntarily.After Chu Chaohui observed such a phenomenon twice, Zheng Yuming tried to send Nanbu property to fill the Ulsan Lord's treasury.From then on, when Young Master Guang rewarded Zheng Yuming with valuables again, the corners of Wei Shen's eyes stopped twitching.

During the two days of the Moon Festival and the Spring Festival, the gates of Dacheng City are open from [-]:[-] am to [-]:[-] pm, and ordinary people will not be charged an entry fee for entering the city.After the Taimiao Liao Sacrifice in the morning, the people in Dacheng have a celebration program. There are various folk performers near the Taimiao. The people outside the city who have seen the Liao Sacrifice will stay near the Taimiao until the city gate is closed. The common people lit a bonfire near the Taimiao, danced and sang until midnight, and then gradually dispersed.Every year on the lunar festival, Dacheng can only be silent in the early hours of the morning.

The aristocrats will not crowd together with the common people to celebrate. They will be entertained by the Lord of Ulsan in the mansion, and there will be wonderful songs, dances and skill performances during the banquet.Because there were many people participating in the banquet, the banquet was not held in the house, but reed mats and low tables were laid out in the courtyard of Ulsan Mansion. The nobles sat cross-legged on the reed mats and enjoyed the food and wine on the low tables.

In ancient times, the north was always respected, so the main seat of the banquet was set on the north side, the nobles sat on both sides, and the relatives who followed sat behind the patriarch or the main family.

Taimiao worship requires a strict order of rank, and the banquet seats in Ulsan Junfu are not determined according to rank, but according to the degree of favor of the city lord of Dalseong.On the upper left side of Young Master Guang is the Wei family. Sitting there are Wei Shen and Young Master Guang's uncles Wei Ren and Wei Ci.On the upper right are Zheng Yuming and Chu Chaohui and his party.Next to Zheng and Chu is the Chen family.

The banquet lasted from noon to evening, and the entertainment activities during the banquet were also very long. Soon after the banquet, the singer raised in captivity in the Ulsan Jun Mansion came up to perform dances. It made everyone mesmerized, and as soon as the artist Xin's performance was over, Young Master Guang immediately rewarded him heavily.Artist Xin received the reward and walked down from the banquet in disappointment. The previous performance rewards were not as valuable as today, but Gongzi Guang would always give him to sit next to him. Today, Gongzi Guang increased the reward but did not ask him to accompany him.

The Wu family sat behind Zheng Chu with the Huo brothers and sisters, Wei Qing, Fan Jin, and Jiang Gui. They had a good view from this position, and they could clearly see the praise.

Both Fan Jin and Jiang Gui have been in and out of high-end occasions, and they will not be stage-frightened when it comes to big occasions. As the two personal attendants of the governor of Nanbu, they have a place in the back of the main house, although they can't enjoy being short like Wu Da and the others. Food and wine were placed, and half of the delicacies were still on the reed mat in front of the two of them. Huo Sihua even took a jug of green wine from the low table and handed them to them.After civilians became slaves, their treatment was much better than before.Fan Jin used to wait outside the banquet for performing skills, and he had to wait until the performance was over before he could go to the side to get the food.

Wu Da was an eye-opener today. I was lucky enough to follow the Taimiao sacrifices that I could only overlook from a distance.In particular, Zheng Chu and the nobles introduced him as righteous brother. These nobles who didn't even look at Wu Da before, not only looked at him this time, but also nodded to him.All the experiences today made Wu Da feel excited. The more green wine he drank, the louder the applause for the performance. Fortunately, everyone in the banquet was full of wine, but no one noticed Wu Da voice.

Just when everyone was in high spirits, several melodious birdsong rang out. Slowly, the birds began to gather, and all the birds sang together. It seemed that a hundred birds were flying over the Ulsan Junfu. Everyone looked up, but found no birds. The son stopped to rest, and when everyone was looking for the bird, there was a roar of a tiger. The tiger seemed to be not far away. Many nobles at the banquet changed their faces in fright, and some stood up and looked around in panic.

Young Master Guang sat at the top. He was also looking for birds at the beginning. After finding no bird, Young Master Guang looked suspiciously at the place where the bird sounded, and found that the place was the seat of Nanbu. He suddenly thought of the performance of Nanbu It's ventriloquist.

When someone at the banquet was frightened by the roar of the tiger and stood up and looked around in panic, Young Master Guang cracked his lips into a smile. The ventriloquist of the Nanbu artist was so realistic that even Wei Shen showed a nervous look on his face.

After scaring away all the birds, the sound of the tiger gradually faded away. Everyone listened carefully and found that the sound of the tiger had finally disappeared. They relaxed their bodies one by one, and some of them were wiping the sweat profusely from their foreheads.

"Good! Not bad! Artists from Nanbu stepped forward to receive the reward!" Young Master Guang clapped his hands and praised.

"Thank you, Mr. Wei Shan, for the reward!" Fan Jin quickly walked from his seat to the center, and bowed down to receive the reward.

Fan Jin came out to receive the reward, and the people at the banquet suddenly realized that it was a ventriloquist performance performed by the governor of Nanbu's slave just now.

"Nanbu's performance is wonderful, as if you are on the scene." The patriarch of the Chen clan and other young master Guang rewarded him, and they were the first to stand up to praise after the words fell.

"Not bad! Not bad! The roar of the tiger scared the old man into a sweat." Wei Ren, the eldest uncle of Gong Ziguang, also laughed. Hearing the roar of the tiger just now, Wei Ren almost drew his sword and stood in front of his nephew to protect him. The guard stood there motionless, Wei Ren realized it was ventriloquism.

"Next, let's try the sweet potatoes from Nanbu." Young Master Guang waved his hand, and the waiter brought two plates of boiled sweet potatoes to each table.

The young master just looked at the red-skinned food in front of him, and waved to Zheng Yuming. "Zheng Qing! Come teach Guang how to eat sweet potatoes."

"My lord, this sweet potato can be eaten just by peeling off the outer skin." Zheng Yuming knelt down next to Mr. Guang's banquet, peeled half of a sweet potato and handed it to Mr. Guang.As soon as the skin of the sweet potato is peeled off, a scent wafts out immediately.

"Not bad! It's very sweet, um, it smells like chestnuts, even more fragrant than chestnuts." Young Master Guang nodded while eating.

"Does this sweet potato grow on a tree like a big chestnut?" Chen Meng wondered what kind of tree could bear half a catty of fruit.

"This sweet potato does not grow on a tree, but grows underground. It is planted in a place with good water and fertilizer conditions, and the general yield can reach 6000 to [-] shi per mu." Sweet potatoes can produce up to [-] catties per mu.

"Oh, it can yield four to fifty shi per mu." Chen Meng peeled the sweet potato and was about to put it in his mouth when he suddenly realized the incredible yield of this thing. "What, you can get forty or fifty shi of sweet potatoes per mu?" 120 jin is one stone.

"Yes, this sweet potato is the best crop to avoid famine in our home country. It is highly adaptable, resistant to drought and barrenness, and does not suffer from diseases and insect pests." Chu Zhaohui turned his head and explained to Chen Meng in detail.

Chen Meng's exclamation made everyone realize that the thing in their hands is a kind of fetish. With such a fetish in Dacheng, disasters and famines will be far away from them.

"Two governors! I wonder if you two have sweet potato seeds?" Wei Shen looked excited.

"The sweet potato in his hand is the seed." Chu Zhaohui pointed to the cooked sweet potato in his hand.

Sweet potatoes are planted in stems, and the seedlings are taken after the stems have sprouted. The seedlings are not taken at one time.

The villa has a greenhouse, and the seedlings were sent out more than a month earlier. After the seedlings were taken, they continued to be planted in the greenhouse. After the seedlings grew long, the seedlings were picked again. When the temperature outside the greenhouse was suitable for planting, the cut vines were planted in the valley for new reclamation. In his field, the dozen or so sweet potatoes sent over had actually planted seven or eight acres of seedlings.Like stalk rice, sweet potatoes, which are widely cultivated in greenhouses, are the first food crops that can be popularized and planted.

The sweet potatoes tasted very good, and after a while, all the sweet potatoes on the low table disappeared.The sweet potato has been eaten, but the topic of sweet potato has not disappeared, and people's topics are all about it.Before the banquet ended, the nobles reached a consensus that this crop will be planted in all of Dacheng next year, so that sweet potatoes will take root in the land of Dacheng and create a city without hunger.
