Hand over the jade seal first [Infrastructure]

After Xiao Zirong ascended the throne, he made a major adjustment to the menu of the New Year's banquet, but it has been fixed since then. Until now, he has been on the throne for ten years, and it has not changed much.

How did it change again this year?There were even some items on this menu that they hadn't seen before.

There is no way around this, when Xiao Zirong used to make a menu for the New Year's banquet in the south, he wanted to have everything in the sea, land and air, but when he went to the north, he didn't even think about things in the sea.

Even if there is quick freezing, it can be kept frozen during transportation, but after all, it is not fresh, and stale seafood is easy to cause problems.

Most of the people who participated in the New Year's feast were older, so what if something went wrong?

Therefore, this year's New Year's banquet is particularly solid, all meat!

However, it is different from the past that mainly beef and mutton. This year, there is more meat that smells good and looks fat and thin.

Everyone was a little puzzled, and after asking the palace next to it, they learned that it was actually pork.

When they heard the word pork, everyone couldn't imagine that the bright red color and full of aroma were actually made of pork.

Most pork these days is relatively smelly, unless it is suckling pigs, everyone barely eats a little.

But the suckling pork is thin, it must not be like this.

In view of the fact that the emperor never lost his taste in food, everyone tasted it dubiously.

The instant the brightly colored meat is in the mouth, almost everyone is overwhelmed by the taste. It melts in the mouth, is sweet and soft, has a more fatty aroma than beef, and has a less smell than mutton.

Xiao Zirong watched everyone go from being puzzled to being unable to stop their chopsticks, and felt very happy.

Hey, I finally found time for people to raise pigs. The point of raising pigs is not the size of the pigs, but that the pigs must be castrated when they are young.

The pigs that grow up in this way will not have that foul smell.

In fact, he had already asked people to start raising pigs, but the pigs raised at the beginning were completely different from what he thought.

There is not much fat, but a lot of lean meat, and the taste is average.

He checked the information for a long time before he found that the pigs of later generations were improved by importing American white pigs, and the black pigs from the flower growers did not grow fast and did not have so much fat.

Where can he find the white pig now? He can only find a way to improve the pig's diet.

It is no exaggeration to say that the pork used for this banquet is more than the sum of all the dishes in previous banquets combined.

So now the delicious pork really can only be reserved for nobles.

The ministers ate very happily. They found that since His Majesty took the throne, the New Year's banquet has changed from the previous style of just a formality, and it has become more and more delicious.

Everyone has gone from going back to make up for it after attending the New Year banquet every year, to being rosy every time after attending the New Year banquet.

After eating, Xiao Zirong took the people to parade through the streets again.

Sitting on the large car, looking at the lights of various colors on both sides, Xiao Zirong also had to feel that the creativity of the common people is not worse than that of geniuses, after all, there are so many people.

He had also thought about getting out all kinds of colorful lights in one go before, but he just couldn't spare it.

By the time he reacted, colorful lights had already begun to appear among the people.

These lights may not be advanced, but they reflect the creativity of the people.

Xiao Zirong was relieved when he saw this posture, and he didn't plan to make it difficult for himself to continue studying. Anyway, he worked hard to make the technology tree fully bloom. As for the future, let it be left to the people who come later.

When parading through the streets, there were people standing on both sides. Even in the cold wind, Xiao Zirong could still see the smiles on the faces of the people clearly.

Wherever the vehicles pass by, the common people salute spontaneously.

Commoners kneel and kowtow, scholars bow.

Xiao Zirong always thought that so many people in the past and present like to fight for hegemony in order to make the world bow their heads. It was not interesting to salute because of etiquette until after he ascended the throne.

Everyone looked very respectful, but in fact they were not sure what to think.

On the contrary, as it is now, it is enough not to say that the people love him, but they don't think he is a fool.

After walking around the main road, the convoy returned to Xi'an Gate.

Xiao Xuan looked at the tall Xi'an Gate and couldn't help but frowned and said, "When did you go up?"

Not to mention whether they have the physical strength, even if they do, they won't be able to walk fast in a big coat in winter.

Xiao Zirong smiled: "Where can I let you go up?"

So they switched directly to a smaller car.

Well, as the city wall of the imperial palace, the width is enough to accommodate two standard cars running on it, and there are also slopes in the palace for cars to drive up.

What stands out is a richness.

After reaching the city wall, standing in the center overlooking the entire Chang'an City, no one spoke for a while.

Xiao Zirong knew long ago that Chang'an City would look good after it was completed, because he had already asked people to draw the concept drawing when it was originally designed.

However, after seeing the night scene of Chang'an with his own eyes, he realized that sometimes, no matter how beautiful the painting is, it is not as good-looking as the real scene.

Looking around, what flashed in his mind was Xin Qiji's Qingyu Case Yuan Xi in Song Dynasty.

Dongfeng night puts flowers and trees.It blows down and the stars are like rain.BMW engraved cars on the road.The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and the fish and dragon danced overnight.

The Shangque corresponds to the current Chang'an City really well, especially after the emperor's parade vehicles left, dragon lantern dance teams appeared on the main roads in Chang'an City.

Although today's technology is advanced, the dragon lantern dance is still authentic.

In addition to ordinary dragon lanterns with grass, bamboo and cloth as the main materials, there is also a kind of "fire dragon", which is woven into a cylinder with bamboo strips to form a cage, pasted with transparent and beautiful dragon clothes, and oil lamps are placed inside. Very striking and beautiful at night.

The dragon lantern dance in the Zhengdan season is more about praying for blessings. In addition, there is also a lion dance. Anyway, there are all kinds of beliefs these days. As long as it is useful, the common people believe it.

Not long after the dragon lantern dance started, the previously planned fireworks feast also began.

In the center of Chang'an City and the four corners of the city, places for fireworks were designated. In the beginning, a firework was set off in the center square.

The fireworks appeared in the air from bottom to top like a tree, and finally formed a big tree with a lush green crown.

Before the tree dissipated, many small fireworks flew into the air, and red flowers bloomed just above the crown of the tree.

This is not a description, it is a real flower-shaped fireworks.

Zhengdan is also known as the Spring Festival, which means that spring is coming, and the flowers are in full bloom. The fireworks are also a good sign.

After the tree dissipated, it could be said that a hundred flowers bloomed in all colors. For a moment, even the stars in the sky seemed extremely dim.

And the following various amusement projects have attracted the people of Quanchang'an to the street.

It was the first time for the people of Chang'an to celebrate such a lively New Year, and the laughter and laughter could be heard clearly even from the majestic palace walls.

Although the face of the cold wind blowing on the palace wall is a little cold, but this scene makes people feel warm in the heart.

Xiao Zirong lay on the city wall and looked down, feeling a sense of accomplishment spontaneously.

He thought he should have lived up to this trip and the library in his mind.

When he was thinking about this, he suddenly felt his sight blocked, and when he turned his head, he saw Xiao Xuexing put on a fox fur for him and said, "Go down after a while, the wind is hard at night."

Against the backdrop of the fireworks and lights, Xiao Xuexing at this moment appeared extraordinarily gentle.

Xiao Zirong suddenly understood the artistic conception of the phrase "The man is in a dimly lit place".

He held Xiao Xuexing's hand, and swiped the other hand imposingly: "Look, this is the country we have conquered!"

Xiao Xuexing looked at him with a smile and replied, "In the future, your country will be bigger and better than it is now."

He never doubted Xiao Zirong's ability.

But Xiao Zirong waved his hand and said: "Forget it, forget it, now that I have achieved the goal I set for myself back then, I think I can also abdicate."

Xiao Xuexing was a little surprised. Although Xiao Zirong had always said that he didn't want to be emperor for so many years, he didn't expect that the other party would have the idea of ​​abdicating now.

But before he could say anything, he heard Xiao Xuan and Xiao Ji say in unison: "Don't even think about it!"

Xiao Zirong turned his head and moaned, "Why are you overhearing us?"

However, not only the Supreme Emperor and Bashan King disagreed, but even the ministers who came up also began to persuade them.

The country of Qi is developing in a good direction. Everyone is very excited to see such a scene, and they want to roll up their sleeves to work harder and strive for a higher level.

How can you drop the chain now?

In the past, everyone thought that it would be great if one day the world could be unified.

At that time, this was just a wish, but later this wish was realized, and everyone thought that it would be good to let the people live and work in peace and contentment.

This idea is not fully realized, but more than half of it has been realized.

Later, it would be great if we could restore the prosperity of the Han Dynasty.

Looking at the prosperity of Chang'an City now, they felt that they might be able to be more ambitious and create a more prosperous and prosperous age than the Han Dynasty.

Such a great cause must be led by an emperor who can improve internal affairs and have great martial arts skills.

It's hard to say what the prince is like, but this His Majesty is too suitable for him to just abdicate like this!

It was rare for Xiao Zirong to want to retire, but he was beaten back abruptly, so he could only helplessly: "I know, I know, go back, isn't it cold to stand on the top? Are you not in a hurry to go back and reunite with your family? Go, go, stop talking about me here. !"

The ministers walked away almost step by step. If they hadn't sealed their pens until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, they were really afraid that they would see the emperor's abdication edict tomorrow.

Xiao Zirong sent people away, so he naturally wanted to go back.

Before leaving, he took one last look at the brightly lit Chang'an City.

Although there are not many people in Qi who can meet the level of food and clothing, he knows that it will always get better and better in the future, and there should be more than one city of Chang'an that can have such a prosperous scene in a few decades.

In the future, prosperity can be expected.
