When the monarchs and ministers saw Qin Huaidao exiting the stage, they were all still immersed in the lyrics, their eyes bright.
Li Er thought of Qin Qiong's life and the days of fighting together. He couldn't help but clench his fists and said: "Brother Qin has been a hero throughout his life. He often told me that he wanted to conquer the grasslands in the north and conquer the Turks. Unfortunately, he was unwell and his long-cherished wish could not come true.
, I can only hold my passion in my heart, I feel sorry for my second brother."
After a few words, all the ministers felt sad.
Li Jing's eyes were full of excitement and excitement: "As the horse hoofs to the south, people look north, and people look north. The grass is green and yellow, and the dust is flying. I am willing to defend the land and reopen the territory. The great Tang Dynasty will let the four come congratulate! Huaidao sang
The sentiments of our generation have come to light. Although Your Majesty, I am old, I can still ride a horse and draw a bow. I am willing to go to Tubo to open up the territory for Your Majesty. Let Songtsen Gampo come to Chang'an to congratulate me. Even if I die in battle, I will have no regrets.
That’s right, please, Your Majesty, please make it happen!”
"I am willing to go, and I will have no regrets in dying!" Cheng Yaojin and Yuchi Gong also clasped their fists with fanatical expressions on their faces, wishing they could rush to the battlefield immediately and make contributions.
Li Er was very excited: "The Turks are my mortal enemy. If I want to destroy the Turks, I must first destroy the Tubo. I also wish I could go to the battlefield with everyone and expand the territory, just like in the past, but now is the era of young people."
, you and I are both old, so let the children complete the ambitions in our hearts."
"this--"
Everyone was unwilling, but it was hard to say anything.
"Drink first and discuss later." Seeing the music paused, Li Er turned around and entered the private room.
Everyone sat down again and chatted for a while. Qin Huaidao took off his armor and hurried over, followed by some service staff. No one was carrying a tray. On the tray was baked food, which was placed on the table like an assembly line. Everyone watched as it was distributed.
The food with tempting aroma comes in bunches, which is very special.
"What's the way to eat this?" Li Er asked curiously.
Qin Huaidao sat down and said: "Your Majesty, our restaurant is called Veterans Music Barbecue Bar. Veterans are fighting on the battlefield. Many times they don't have time to cook food, so they can only grill it a few times to satisfy their hunger. So I developed barbecue, which will be useful on the battlefield in the future.
Please see, Your Majesty, both meat and vegetables can be roasted. There is no shortage of wild vegetables all over the mountains and plains, and there are also horses killed in battle. If the soldiers learn this, they will not have to worry about eating when they go to the battlefield in the future."
"I'm determined." Li Er was filled with emotion. He thought about opening up new territories when cooking. Such a courtier was rare. He picked up a skewer of meat and didn't know how to eat it. Qin Huaidao saw the opportunity and immediately demonstrated it. Li Er saw it
Yes, I bit into the meat. It was tender, juicy, fragrant and delicious. My eyes lit up immediately and I bit off a few more pieces.
Everyone rushed to imitate it and found that it was more delicious than the commonly used boiled and stewed dishes. They couldn't help but whet their appetite. Qin Huaidao signaled the waiter to bring the beer, a large glass for each person, all of which were iced. He raised a glass and said: "Your Majesty, everyone
My lord, I have brewed a new wine, called beer. You should eat barbecue with cold beer, otherwise you will lose your soul. Please give it a try. Thank you for coming, and thank you for your tolerance and support for the juniors' nonsense."
"Is there still ice in this season?"
"Then I have to try it."
"Drink victory!"
"Drink victory!"
Everyone took a sip and found it was cold, refreshing and not very strong, but the special fragrance made people want to stop and couldn't help but drink it down.
"ha--"
"happy!"
After drinking a large cup, the whole person is enlightened and seems to be activated.
"This wine is weak, but it has a different taste. Let's try another glass." Cheng Yaojin shouted.
The waiter immediately refilled everyone's glasses, and Qin Huaidao quickly reminded: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, this wine tastes refreshing, especially in hot weather, but I would like to remind you that you should not drink too much if you have gout, which means that the joints all over the body are red, swollen, hot, and painful.
It affects those who walk and will aggravate the injury, but it doesn't matter if you don't have gout."
"My old Han's legs are old and it seems he can't drink anymore." Li Jing said regretfully.
"It's okay to drink liquor, but don't be greedy." Qin Huaidao reminded, signaling the girl to change drinks.
Cheng Yaojin smiled and said: "Hahaha, I'm fine, I'll try another drink. I didn't taste it just now."
"Don't worry, there is something special about drinking at this round table." Qin Huaidao said with a smile. Seeing Cheng Yaojin put down his cup and looked over, and the others also showed curiosity, he explained: "Round table, eating is about the atmosphere, we have to be together, we can't drink alone
Generally, the host or host will bring three glasses first, and after three glasses, the most distinguished guest will bring three more glasses, and then come one by one, toasting in turn, which is called making a circle, and then lead the guests left and right, or find someone to toast to each other.
It’s called free interaction, a harmonious whole, no one is left behind, everyone comes down, no one is left short of a drink.”
"Haha, this rule is pretty good." Cheng Yaojin said with a smile, as long as he has wine, he doesn't care about anything else.
Qin Huaidao looked at Li Er, who also smiled and said: "Your rules are quite strange, you come first."
"That's fine, let me take a look first, junior." Qin Huaidao raised his glass and said solemnly: "For the first glass, I would like to thank you for being born in this era, for the enlightened saints, and for the elders who are talented in literature and martial arts.
We have created the Tang Dynasty, so that we, the younger generations, can enjoy the fruits of our success. I respect all the elders."
"This is a good suggestion. You have a conscience." Yuchi said with a smile.
Everyone also laughed, and being infected by Qin Huaidao's sincerity, they all raised their glasses and drank down the wine in one gulp.
The waiter quickly refilled everyone's glasses.
Qin Huaidao has been tested for a long time, and a little beer is not a problem at all. He raised his glass again: "Your Majesty, elders, this second cup is dedicated to the soldiers, ministers, and the people who sacrificed for the Tang Empire. It is their sacrifice that makes us proud."
They made the Tang Dynasty reborn and made it to this day. They are heroes and should be remembered!"
"This is a good suggestion. We should remember and respect the heroes who died in battle!" Wei Zheng solemnly seconded the proposal.
"Respect the heroes who died in battle!" Everyone was moved and raised their glasses again. They all experienced the war era and saw too many people sacrifice their lives for the country. There was no shortage of friends and relatives. Everyone is alive. Isn't it because they all died?
After downing another glass, Qin Huaidao said quickly: "Everyone, take a few sips, and don't drink too quickly. Also, Uncle Yuchi and Uncle Cheng, there is a rule at the wine table. You can't drink standing up. If you drink too much, your buttocks will be flat."
Come and be punished."
"Hahaha, good punishment, full reward." Cheng Yaojin shouted with great momentum.
Yuchi Gong was also a good drinker and was unwilling to lag behind.
When Qin Huaidao saw that the two of them were about to drink, he quickly stopped him and said, "I have to finish the third toast, and you two will be punished again."
"Hahaha, you are the only one who has many rules, okay, I will listen to you." Cheng Yaojin smiled nonchalantly.
"What's the explanation for this?" Wei Zheng asked curiously.
Others also looked over, and Qin Huaidao explained: "Everyone sits together, and what they want is to have fun together. Although there are differences in status, the wine table talks about equality. If there is inequality, the wine will be depressing, but everyone is sitting there.
When a person stands up, he appears to be courteous and courteous, even humble, and violates the principle of equality. Drinking this wine is not pleasant. Of course, official wine is different. For example, when the Holy Father banquets envoys from various countries, elders banquet subordinates, and discuss official business, how can this be done?
Can we be equal? We must pay attention to the dignity of everyone."
"I see, friends are all about fun, atmosphere, relaxation, ease, and free conversation. If one person is polite, it will be out of place. But official drinks and state banquets are different. This is the truth. Your rules are interesting and can be popularized.
." Wei Zheng praised.
"No, at least it can't be popularized in the name of the imperial court. Everyone has a good rule of thumb. You can abide by it or not. When it comes to drinking, just have fun. The rules are also for fun. The principle of voluntariness is not beautiful if it is deliberate." Qin Huaidao interrupted.
.
"That's right, for some minor matters, it is better for the court not to interfere in the matter, so as not to lose shape, deform, and become a bad government. Everything is done voluntarily." Fang Xuanling also agreed.
Qin Huaidao was worried that Wei Zheng would be angry, so he quickly changed the subject: "Come on, the third cup. The shop is opening today. Thank you all for coming. If there are any imperfections, please forgive me and point them out so that we can improve. We will come here often in the future."
"I think your last sentence is truly sincere."
"That's right, come here often... can you afford it?"
"That's right, your wine is too expensive."
"Hahaha!"
Everyone laughed kindly, in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere. In their hearts, they had a deeper understanding of round-table drinking, and they liked it even more. They became more heroic and drank it down again.
"Ha--so happy!"
“Ice comfort!”
"I feel like I could drink a bucket of this cold beer."
"Huaidao, there is still ice at this time of year?"
Everyone, you say something and I say something.
When Qin Huaidao saw that the person asking the question was Li Er, he quickly said: "Your Majesty, I have mastered the method of making ice. I will arrange for someone to send some to the palace later, and all the elders will have a share in seeing it."
"Hahaha, you have a conscience." Everyone laughed with satisfaction.
Li Er asked in surprise: "How to make ice, you actually mastered the method of making ice?"
Only then did everyone realize the important point and looked over one after another, their eyes full of shock.
Li Jing asked: "Is it also possible to make ice?"
"There is nothing in this world that cannot be controlled. It all depends on whether you master this ability. I would like to make two suggestions." Qin Huaidao said and looked at Li Er.
"Say." Li Er put down his wine glass.
Everyone pricked up their ears and wanted to know what it was.
Qin Huaidao sat up straight and said seriously: "Your Majesty, I propose to build a heroic monument to commemorate the soldiers who fought for the Tang Dynasty. Those who have names should have their names engraved, and those who have no names should also mention a sentence for people to pay their respects and worship every year.
Let the heroic spirits enjoy blood food, and the soldiers will no longer be afraid of their loyal bones being buried in a foreign land, which can greatly improve morale."
When everyone heard this, they were shocked, especially the generals, and their breathing became rapid.
Li Er also looked a little more serious and began to think deeply.
The imperial court has always only offered sacrifices to the heaven and earth, and the ancestral temple, which are the ancestors of the emperor. No one has offered sacrifices to the soldiers who died in battle. This is a first of its kind, but I have to admit that it can unite people's hearts and boost morale. Who wants to become a lonely ghost after death?
, can’t even get blood, food, incense? Who wants to have no one to pay tribute after death?
Li Jing gave Cheng Yaojin a look, and Cheng Yaojin understood and said solemnly: "Your Majesty, I second my proposal. I am willing to spend a thousand coins to build the house. If we spend more, we will have to sell the house."
"I also took out a thousand guan."
"There are still ministers."
Everyone expressed their support for this move.
Li Er raised his hand to signal to be calm, looked at Qin Huaidao and said: "This is a great good, the contribution will be to the country, and it will benefit the future. How much will it cost to build it?"
"Back to the Holy Spirit, I am willing to shoulder the responsibility. All I have to do is choose a place, provide a list of names, and find some masons to engrave the words. It will be built within a week." Qin Huaidao said with confidence. As a soldier, this matter is his duty.
"Okay, just choose a place near the Ancestral Temple, Xuanling, and let you take charge of this matter."
"I obey!" Fang Xuanling agreed.
"Tell me, what is your second proposal?" Li Er looked at Qin Huaidao again.
"Back to the Holy Spirit, I propose to establish a research institute and recruit skilled craftsmen from the Ministry of Industry and the private sector to engage in various technological innovations, such as this paper." Qin Huaidao said, picking up a menu and continued: "This paper is for the government
According to the latest research, the same paper costs one penny per large sheet in the market. I can make ten large sheets for one penny and still make a slight profit. This is the result of technological innovation and cost control. Once the imperial court masters more priority technologies, it can
Form strong productive forces and lead the entire world, especially in the military field."
"Did you make this paper in your house?" Everyone was shocked.
Qin Huaidao was a little confused. Shouldn't the focus be on technological innovation? But he still nodded and said with a smile: "Elders, don't worry, your daughter already knows that she went to the junior shop to place an order. If she didn't place the order, she will ask someone to place it in the shop.
One order is all.”
Everyone was exposed and laughed.
Li Ertai knew the importance of paper and asked seriously: "How is the output?"
"If you let it go, production won't be a problem at all." Qin Huaidao replied, starting from this moment, the counterattack against Fanyang Lu's paper industry could be easily defeated as long as they got the support of the court.
"That's good. From now on, you will supply the paper for the imperial court. At the rate of ten large sheets per penny, ten thousand large sheets will be supplied within a month. Can you do it?" Li Er's eyes shone.
Ten thousand large notes used to cost 10,000 fen, but now they only cost 1,000 fen. It’s such a bargain.
When Qin Huaidao heard about the small order quantity, he couldn't accept it. He quickly said: "Ten thousand is too little. We can supply 100,000 large sheets within a month. If the court needs more, I can expand the scale of production. Chang'an is the least."
There is a shortage of unemployed people. With a little training, they can start working and provide everyone with a living, but they have to be given land by the court."
It is enough to make small profits but quick sales on paper. After squeezing out the Fan Yang Lu family, in the future, printing books and selling them will be the big deal. Once the court supports it and gives a piece of land, it will be more profitable. Land is a fixed asset or a permanent property right.
When Wei Zheng heard that he could produce so much, he was immediately moved. As for giving him nothing, he didn't care. There was plenty of land outside Chang'an City. He praised: "Your Majesty, this is a great good thing. Students all over the world no longer have to worry about using paper, and it can also solve the livelihood of unemployed people."
, kill two birds with one stone, why not do it? I second my opinion!"
People's livelihood is the issue that Fang Xuanling is most concerned about. He agreed: "Your Majesty, there are many refugees and beggars in Chang'an City. If it is feasible, we can just settle everyone. How many people are needed for maximum mass production?"
Qin Huaidao thought for a while and said: "Your Majesty, ministers, there are so many people in the Tang Dynasty, but paper is too expensive, many people cannot go to school, and poor families have difficulty raising children. When I made this paper, I hoped to rewrite history and let white paper enter thousands of families.
Ten thousand households can afford it for everyone. If the court allocates a piece of land to the minister, it is best to be near Qinjiazhuang and by the river. It is easy to use. Papermaking requires water, so the minister built a huge paper-making workshop. Ten thousand people can use it.
Not too few, not too many, one hundred thousand people, wages can be higher than the market, so that people can earn more money and improve their lives."
"One hundred thousand, are you sure?" Fang Xuanling was shocked.
"I am sure that the people of the Tang Dynasty will not be able to use up all the paper. The imperial court can sell the paper to neighboring countries and increase profits. This is the benefit brought by technological innovation." Qin Huaidao said solemnly.
"Okay, this move will also benefit the country and benefit the future." Li Er was overjoyed and saw that Qin Huaidao was becoming more and more satisfied. He could not only take the initiative to share the worries of the court, but also be willing to use papermaking technology. Such talents are rare in a century. As he spoke, he saw
Xiang Fang Xuanling thought for a while, Fang Xuanling had too many things to do, and looked at Li Jing.
Li Jing sat upright knowingly.
"Pharmacist, I have a big business and the institute, so I'll leave it to you to take charge."
"I obey the decree and will live up to the great trust of the Holy One." Li Jing quickly agreed, feeling a little bitter in his heart. If he accepted the job, the Tubo War would have nothing to do with him.
"I can rest assured that the pharmacist is acting with integrity. Do you have anything to add?" Li Er asked.
"The main thing today is to invite everyone to drink. Other ministers can just go back and report this to ask for instructions." Qin Huaidao accepted it and was secretly happy. If the court gives another piece of land, it would be best to connect it to Qinjiazhuang, so that a new land can be built.
Industrial City started the industrial revolution and fundamentally changed the Tang Dynasty.
The game has been laid, it just depends on Li Er's courage and choice.
Li Er saw that Qin Huaidao had other ideas, but he didn't want to say it now. Considering that people were talkative, he didn't ask any more questions. He raised his glass and said, "According to the rules Huaidao just said, it's my turn to bring three glasses of wine. This is the first glass."
, I would like to thank you all for your persistence over the years and for making Datang famous throughout the world."
"Thank you, Your Majesty, for the promotion." Everyone raised their glasses.
After the waiter refilled the wine, Li Er raised his glass again and said: "For this second glass, I propose to pay tribute to Huai Dao. Without Huai Dao, there would be no great victory of Goguryeo, and there would be no rise of the second generation of rising stars. We are all old, but
It’s a great kindness to be able to see future generations grow up!”
"That's right, Jing Huai Dao." Everyone said sincerely.
Qin Huaidao said quickly: "Your Majesty, without your trust and cultivation, I would not be able to do this. As for the others, we all have great talents, what we lack is just opportunities."
"You're so humble, boy, let's drink from you." Cheng Yaojin scolded with a smile.
Everyone laughed and finished it all.
Qin Huaidao had no choice but to drink it.
After the waiter refilled the glass, Li Er raised the glass again and continued: "This third glass is a tribute to ourselves. The king and the ministers will work together to create another great event."
These words were both recognition of everyone's past and expectations for the future. Everyone was moved, and they all raised their glasses and said: "The king and his ministers are united, and we will create another great event!"
Qin Huaidao also raised his glass and sighed with emotion. Over the past thousands of years, there have been many founding emperors, but not many are as nostalgic as Li Er.
Only in the early Tang Dynasty, only Li Erqian could do it.
Being born in this era is a lucky thing for talented people.
Drink it all in one gulp and feel proud.
Qin Huaidao stood up and said: "Your Majesty, gentlemen, I am going to sing another song to cheer everyone up, let's sing "Men Should Be Strong", the lyrics are on the list."
"Go ahead, I'm all ears." Li Er said in surprise.
Everyone picked up the list one after another and turned to "A Man Should Be Strong". When he looked at the lyrics, what was it? The text was not written in writing, and there was no familiar poetic dialogue and charm. However, it was very uplifting and interesting.
After the last experience, no one dared to express their opinions casually this time.
Fang Xuanling read it in one breath and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, I think Huai Dao has created a new genre of singing. It is easy to understand, popular, but also inspiring. I believe that tomorrow the entire Chang'an will sing Huai Dao's songs.
, and became a trend.”
After reading it, Wei Zheng also said: "It is indeed different from the familiar songs in the past. There is no word card and no confrontation. Instead, it expresses one's heart directly. The meaning of the words is thought-provoking and thought-provoking. It is suitable for the common people to sing. This song
"Men Should Be Strong" tells the story of what men in the Tang Dynasty should be like, instead of just walking dogs and fighting cocks, visiting brothels and drinking wine, lyrics and music should be popularized, and it has greatly improved the folk customs of the Tang Dynasty."
However, Li Jing reminded: "The writing style of this song is contrary to the meaning of Confucian classics, and I am afraid it will be criticized by some people."
Everyone was a sensible person, and they all looked at Li Er.
Li Er also knew that someone would jump out to stop him, and said with a smile: "It's rare for the two beloved ministers to speak so highly of each other. As for the objections, let's talk about it first. Do you think Huai Dao will be afraid of this?"
Everyone laughed when they thought that in the previous court meeting, Huai Dao had introduced several subjects to the Imperial College to break the Confucian monopoly on the Imperial College. If he really dared to jump out, there might be counterattacks from Huai Dao.
At this time, the big drum sounded, and everyone was refreshed and got up and came to the balcony.
The guests who were eating meat, drinking wine, and talking about the music just heard the drum sounded again, stopped one after another, stood up, and looked around. They were full of expectations. Those who were talking were scolded by others and fell silent.
When the manager of Fengyue Place saw that there was still music, his face turned bitter and his heart dropped.
Everyone will get tired of listening to a song. If this song comes out one after another, everyone should just close the door.
On stage.
Qin Huaidao didn't care about the pain in his heart. Business is business. If it weren't for making money, who would be willing to come up and sing a song to cheer up? He shouted loudly: "Everyone, to thank everyone for supporting me, can you sing another song?"
"good--"
"The Lord Protector is mighty!"
The crowd cheered loudly and became excited.
Seeing that the atmosphere was stirring, Qin Huaidao glanced at the musical instrument troupe behind him, and everyone understood.
"Dong dong dong dong!"
The big drum sounded one after another, which made people's blood boil.
This was followed by the suona as the main performer, accompanied by the erhu and other musical instruments.
Qin Huaidao imitated Huang Feihong in the film and television drama and made a starting move, which instantly caused countless girls to scream with excitement, but no one cared, and stared at Qin Huaidao with their eyes.
As soon as the passing music ended, Qin Huaidao sang loudly along with the melody, while punching, each move was very vigorous, and matched with the rhythm, it gave people a passionate visual enjoyment. Everyone couldn't help but clenched their fists, waved a few times, and followed.
Sing a few lines and feel excited to shout a few times.
In the middle of the song, ten specially selected women with solid dance skills filed out from the backstage. They were all wearing battle armor, with their hair hidden in helmets. Their bodies could not be seen from a distance. Everyone quickly lined up and followed Qin Huaidao's steps.
Rhythm boxing.
Qin Huaidao slowed down his movements, moving one move at a time, as if he was being taught by his master. With the exciting music and the light of the lantern, this scene completely shocked everyone. Is it true that singing can be done like this? Compared with those performances I have seen before, it is simply amazing.
Just garbage.
Qin Huaidao worked hard for this scene. It took two hours to teach everyone this martial arts routine. The girls also worked hard, rehearsing extra time every night, and they performed well.
"good!"
Everyone started shouting excitedly. They couldn’t care less about whether they could hear the singing or not. It would be unpleasant if they didn’t shout a few times. Some people even raised their glasses and shouted: “Brothers, please be clear and respectful.
Lord Protector!"
"Protect the Duke!" Everyone reported and shouted, and kept going.
Someone couldn't help but excitedly smashed his wine glass and shouted: "I want to strengthen myself. From now on, I will be a good man, create new worlds, and create my ideals. No one can stop me."
The waiter came up: "Lang Jun, the cup is broken?"
"It doesn't matter. How much money is it? I'll accompany you and we'll settle the accounts later."
The waiter smiled brightly: "Mr. Jun is domineering, I'll give you a new one!"
"Bang bang bang!"
Cups were smashed to the ground one after another, venting the pride and joy in my heart.
Someone shouted loudly: "Little lady, please change the cup. I am happy today. How much money? I will pay double. This smash is so happy. I only realized after listening to the song of the Protector of the Country that men should strive for self-improvement. My previous life was in vain."
!”
"Hahaha, that's right. Just smash it and you'll be happy. Change the cup and keep drinking!"
"Just drink, who is afraid of you?"
"Little lady, bring me some wine. We have agreed today that we will never get home until we get drunk. No one is allowed to give in."
Countless people raised their wine glasses and sang along, using the strength of the wine to sing even if they were hoarse or howling like a wolf.
No one cares, no one stops me, all I want is pleasure and excitement.
There was a lot of excitement on and off the stage.
