Tang's dining table

The Shangyuan Festival has just passed, and the people in Chang'an City seem to be sick and have no energy. All their energy seems to have been consumed in the carnival activities of the Shangyuan Festival.

The activities in Chang'an City are not inferior in the slightest because of the lack of Yunchu. On the contrary, these Tang natives know how to have a happy Shangyuan Festival. The people of Chang'an have never been behind in the pursuit of happiness.

In the past, during the Lantern Festival, there would be lantern mountains, garden tours and other activities in Fangshizi. If there were some special years, the royal family would hold a large water and land ashram in Qujiang to worship the souls of the dead and offer blood food to the deceased ancestors.

It's more or less an official event.

Since the Jinchangfang Food Festival started, the people of Chang'an are no longer satisfied with the activities in Jinchangfang. The Lantern Festival celebrations have gone from a few points to a carnival for the whole city.

It’s just that in recent years, people’s favorite Nuo dance has gradually been replaced by various Hu Xuan dances. In order to prevent the precious Nuo dance from being lost, the Nuo dance practitioners have made more exquisite, more gorgeous, more terrifying and colorful dances. Nuo dance masks and exaggerated costumes of gods and monsters.

During the Lantern Festival, they wandered around in various cities desperately, but the results were not good. People preferred to watch young men or women wearing Hu people's costumes dancing Hu Xuan dance, rather than watching them wearing fat and heavy clothes. People in masks dance Nuo dance.

"Nuo dance has the ability to remove bad luck..."

This was the last cry of the Nuo Wu Fang family after no one cared about it. From then on, the Nuo Wu left Chang'an and turned to the countryside.

The women in Chang'an have gradually become more beautiful over the years. It's not that their appearance has changed, but that they are better at dressing up.

Whether it is cosmetics, various decorations, or new and distinctive clothes, the women of Chang'an are more beautiful than women elsewhere.

The reason why Chang'an City has the above changes is entirely because the people of Chang'an eat too much.

Before Yun Chu came and started to rectify the city of Chang'an, most people in Chang'an only had two meals a day, and the meal at night was definitely sparse, because people knew that after dinner, people would go to bed. No need to exert any effort, there is no need to eat so much.

It's different now, because after Wannian County, Chang'an County signed grain supply contracts with Longyou and Guanzhong counties, the price of grain in Chang'an City has remained at a low level for a long time. In the past five years, the craftsmen's Wages have more than tripled.

At the same time, for thousands of years, the two counties of Chang'an also implemented certain restrictions on the merchants who opened their doors for business. When doing business in Chang'an City, there is a limit on the purchase price of merchants. The birth of this restriction has forced those merchants. They had to carry out joint purchasing and use huge purchasing quantities to lower the purchase price and transportation costs.

The result of this is to force those suppliers to establish scale and form industry standards.

As a result, in some counties, Lifang became the supplier of a single product and completely became a vassal of Chang'an.

In this matter, Yun Chu didn't think too much about the interests of the merchants, because their interests themselves were astonishingly large. When doing business in Datang, the benefits were often times, ten times, or dozens of times. Yun Chu had long seen that It's not pleasing to the eye.

Middlemen can make profits, but not too much.

When Liu Rengui, the governor of Xiongjin in Liaodong, returned to Chang'an with his old wife, he first saw mountains of goods outside the city.

The area closest to the city gate has turned into a huge warehouse, where goods are placed in categories. Horse-drawn carriages and oxcarts are constantly transporting the goods from the warehouses into Chang'an City.

After five years of separation, Liu Rengui was very unfamiliar with the Chang'an city in front of him.

Looking at Di Renjie who came to greet him, Liu Rengui sighed and said, "Things have changed and people have changed."

Di Renjie smiled and said: "There are some flaws, but overall it is moving in a good direction. Mr. Liu need not feel sorry."

A fat man walked past Liu Rengui. He looked at his fat butt and said to Di Renjie, "There are many obese people."

Di Renjie said: "Today's people in Chang'an regard fatness as beauty. The fat belly on men and the fat on women have now become a sign of wealth. It cannot be said whether it is a good thing or a bad thing."

Liu Rengui nodded, threw the reins in his hands to his entourage, and entered Chang'an City with Di Renjie.

Looking at the bustling crowd, Liu Rengui asked, "Has Yun Chu not returned from the Western Regions yet?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "When Yunchu returns from the Western Regions, Chang'an City will reach a new level. The food from afar and the profits brought by Persian merchants can make up for the loss of His Majesty's move to Luoyang, the eastern capital."

A group of trucks caught up from behind. Liu Rengui avoided the road and stood on the side of the road waiting for the trucks to pass by. He could see clearly that the trucks were all loaded with grain.

The grain bag on a carriage was torn, and yellow wheat was exposed from the breach, and some was scattered.

Liu Rengui reminded the coachman loudly, and the coachman found a rope to tie the hole, and then walked away towards Liu Rengui.

There are still some grains of wheat left on the ground.

Liu Rengui knelt down to pick up the scattered wheat grains, wrapped them in a handkerchief and put them in his arms. He said to the curious Di Renjie, "It's such a bad custom to be arrogant and extravagant."

Di Renjie smiled and said, "I'm just waiting for Liu Gong to take charge of Chang'an and reverse this trend."

Liu Rengui: "You used so many connections to transfer me from Baekje to Chang'an. What do you want to do?"

Di Renjie said: "Strike first will gain your advantage, and those who strike later will suffer disaster. We must send you to His Majesty at this juncture when His Majesty has not yet decided who will be the guard in Chang'an."

Liu Rengui chuckled and said, "I hate being an official. Do you think your life will be easier after I become a guard in Chang'an?"

Di Renjie smiled and said: "We need someone who is really good for Chang'an City to be the Chang'an guard."

"After all the calculations, only I am suitable?"

"We don't know whether others are suitable or not. We only know that after you become a guard in Chang'an, the worst outcome will be to be scolded by you."

Liu Rengui looked at us tenderly and said, "We haven't seen each other for five years, and you guys have actually developed to such an extent."

Di Renjie sighed and said: "This is already the limit of our ability. In order for you to come to Chang'an, Yunchu persuaded Ying Gong and gentleness persuaded Wen. We recognized the oracle bones made by the concubine of Li Yifu and guaranteed Xu Jingzong's interests in Chang'an will not be harmed.

The most important thing is that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince tried to stay in Chang'an several times as the Chang'an guard, but His Majesty refused. His Highness had no choice but to retreat and suggested that His Majesty appoint Liu Gong as the Chang'an guard.

It can be said that what we try our best to do is still an ordinary and trivial matter for Datang. "

Liu Rengui stood in the cold wind, looked up at the imperial city, Miyagi City, at the end of Zhuque Street, and sighed: "What a prosperous place in the world."

After finishing speaking, he said to Di Renjie: "I won't go to see the prince, and you shouldn't come to see me too often."

When Di Renjie saw Liu Rengui getting into the carriage, he raised his hands and bowed, thanking this man for his support.

Liu Rengui will not stand on anyone's side, or in other words, his roots are with the emperor. If he wants to ask for anything, it is nothing more than to give the people a happy and healthy world.

Liu Rengui's carriage merged into the traffic on Zhuque Street. His carriage was ordinary. Chang'an City would not change just because it carried Liu Rengui.

"My Tang Dynasty will never change!"

Li Zhi sat on a chair, his feet falling into the warm embrace of the giant bear.

Sun Simiao took his hand away from Li Zhi's pulse and said with a smile: "I don't know if there are any changes in the country of Tang Dynasty, but your Majesty's health is getting worse."

Li Zhi said puzzledly: "How could this happen? I still feel that I feel refreshed recently. Why would Master Sun say this?"

Sun Simiao said: "Compared with last year, His Majesty's body is much heavier. Oh, at least twenty kilograms heavier..."

Li Zhi raised his leg and kicked the giant bear and said, "It's all because of you, the beast, that you've become fat and lazy, and you're the one who caused me harm."

Sun Simiao said incomprehensibly: "This kind of bear beast sleeps soundly after eating and drinking enough. People eat more and move less to live longer. If it falls on people, it is a taboo and a life-threatening act."

Li Zhi said a little irritably: "Master Sun, there is no medicine here for me to take, can I get rid of all these troubles?"

Sun Simiao laughed loudly and said: "The old Taoist also wants to have such a method, but unfortunately, there is no such means. However, the Imperial Medical Office, which His Majesty strongly supports, has received good news in recent years. In the future, their achievements will far exceed the old Taoist.

If your majesty can continue to fully support the queen in establishing a maternal and infant hospital, your majesty's achievements in medicine will far exceed those of experienced doctors. "

Wu Mei, who was standing by, sighed and said, "What Master Sun said is absolutely true. It's just that my country, the Tang Dynasty, stretches thousands of miles across. Even this palace can't take care of all the women and babies in the world."

Sun Simiao smiled and said: "How can anything be accomplished overnight in this world? It is nothing more than sitting up from now on and acting as a model for all generations. Generation after generation, we will continue to do this. One day, this good governance will benefit our country, the Tang Dynasty. All nations.”

Prince Li Hong, who was waiting on the other side, said quickly: "What Master Sun said is that such good governance naturally needs to be carried out from generation to generation."

Sun Simiao didn't have much favorable impressions of this family. If Li Si hadn't pressed his head against his stomach to force him to come over this time, Sun Simiao really wouldn't have been willing to enter the palace.

There was too much killing here, and the blood soaring into the sky didn't suit him.

It was Prince Li Hong's idea to invite Sun Simiao to check the emperor's health. He hoped that his father would be in good health. If he had any minor illness, he would be treated as soon as possible to avoid turning the minor illness into a serious illness.

Now it seems that his father's physical condition is not very optimistic. Li's ancestral wind disease has not spared his father either, and there are currently faint signs of attack.

Wu Mei's physical condition couldn't be better. Not only was this woman in good health, she was pregnant again.

Judging from the current pulse condition, the child is sitting very securely in the palace.

"I will practice Taoism more in the future. The queen will worry more about things in the court. Don't disturb my practice with ordinary little things."

Li Zhi looked at the queen indifferently and said.

Wu Mei shook her head and said, "I'm afraid that if I do too much, I'll make many mistakes. There are already the sounds of hens in the court."

Li Zhi sneered and said, "This is my royal matter. Anyone who talks too much will be killed."

When Li Hong saw his father, emperor and mother giving in to each other, a strange emotion suddenly arose in his heart.

Nowadays, Chang'an's imperial prison is overcrowded, and most of them are members of the Li family. At this moment, the father is ill, and it is time for the mother to go on a killing spree.
