Chapter six hundred and eighty third officialdom ecology
The corners of His Majesty Li Er's lips curled up, and he was in a good mood.
For His Majesty Li Er, "The emperor is a sage, and he is surrounded by virtuous ministers and good generals..." This sentence is more refreshing than any praise in history books.
This is a voice from the people!
It has always been said in the Tang Dynasty that no one will be punished for speaking out. If you don't say it from the bottom of your heart, you absolutely cannot say this.
What does it mean to be an emperor?
When you are alive, you hold the heaven and earth in your hands and guide the country. After you die, you will leave your name in history and be remembered forever!
Whether it is good or not is not the dry words in the history books, but the reputation of the people!
There is a scale in the hearts of the people, who is good and who is bad, they have a clear mind!
His Majesty Li Er was in a great mood. He turned around and asked Li Junxian: "What kind of tricks does that bastard Fang Er do?"
Although this place is not Chang'an, the eyes and ears of the "Hundred Riders" are inevitably blocked, but for fear of civil unrest due to the snowstorm, the "Hundred Riders" have expanded the scope of investigation during this period, and Xinfeng, where merchants gather, is a top priority.
Upon hearing His Majesty's inquiry, Li Junxian immediately replied: "It is said that Erlang of the Fang family accidentally obtained a rare treasure. He spread invitations widely and invited the Guanzhong family, important officials in the court, and wealthy businessmen to go to Fangjiawan to appreciate it. Several princes
His Highness also received an invitation..."
Li Er frowned and asked: "Fangjiawan? Where is this?"
After being the emperor for more than ten years, His Majesty Li Er didn't even know that there was such a place in Guanzhong.
Li Junxian smiled and said: "The Fang family's dining hall is located on Lishan Mountain. It is mostly rocky slopes. There is a bay at the foot of the mountain. It was originally nameless. Erlang of the Fang family got interested some time ago and named it Fangjia Bay.
Your Majesty knows that Fang Xiang never cares about trivial matters at home, and Mrs. Fang loves Fang Erlang in every possible way, so he is free to do whatever he wants."
His Majesty Li Er shook his head and laughed, but he was sighing in his heart. He couldn't help but think of the heroes who had made the Great Confession. Due to the narrow land in Guanzhong and the large number of people, Fang Xuanling took the initiative to ask for the seal of the mountainous area. He was secretly moved.
Then he smiled and said, "How about we join in the fun?"
Li Junxian wondered: "Your Majesty, there will be a lot of guests coming to Fangjiawan at this moment, and it will inevitably cause chaos. I'm afraid it's inappropriate..."
Are you kidding? In such a chaotic place, how can Your Majesty be involved in danger? If someone with ulterior motives takes advantage of the chaos and causes damage to Your Majesty, even a hundred heads of mine are not enough...
But His Majesty Li Er smiled and said: "You, you, you, the bolder you get, the less courageous you are. When Dou Jiande and Wang Shichong had an army of 300,000 soldiers in Hulao Pass, a certain person led 3,000 cavalry into the battle, wouldn't he be killed?
"
Li Junxian was a war general after all. His Majesty Li Er's words made his blood boil. He saluted and said: "Your Majesty is mighty, so I will accompany you on this journey. If any scoundrel dares to offend your Majesty, I will carry a sword under my ribs."
You can take out the sheath and drink blood!”
His Majesty Li Er was very happy and laughed.
Immediately, in order to avoid the eyes and ears of others, His Majesty Li Er ordered Li Junxian and Wang De to ride in the same car with him, and let an elite "Hundred Cavalry" drive the car. The "Hundred Cavalry" disguised as ordinary people secretly protected them and headed towards Lishan Mountain in the north of the city.
Go ahead.
**********
As the carriage passed by the river, not far away, two people were shaving ice on the ice, with broken ice splashing everywhere.
Judging from the body shapes, they should be a man and a woman. The man is wearing black and the woman is wearing white. The man is tall and straight, and the daughter is slender.
"Is there someone from the government hiding the ice?" His Majesty Li Er asked.
Hiding ice is a traditional annual custom. It is also called "ice cellar".
In the north, the summer is hot and the winter is freezing, so there is a custom of storing ice cubes in ice cellars in winter for use in the coming summer. This custom originated very early, and is recorded in the "Book of Songs", and it was often practiced in the palace and government.
"In "The Rites of Zhou" there is an ice man, who cuts ice with his palm, and ice cream. Note: Ling, also known as an ice room. The story begins here."
In ancient times, there were officials who specialized in managing this matter, and "ice wells" for storing ice were built.
Every winter on the 39th or 49th day of the lunar month, ice is cut and ice is hidden, which is quite a grand event.
It was taken out during the summer time of the following year, and was given to ministers by the court and sold in the market. This custom was an important item of ancient government decrees.
"The one who awards the ice is the one who divides the ice."
"Binging" lasts from the beginning of autumn to the beginning of autumn, and the amount of ice given varies depending on the grade.
Li Junxian's mouth twitched: "Your Majesty, that is Erlang of the Fang family..."
His Majesty Li Er opened the curtain slightly and took a closer look. He had a dark face, a mink hat, and was wrapped as tightly as a bear. Could it be Fang Jun?
"What is this guy doing?" His Majesty Li Er was very curious. It's freezing cold. How about playing with shaved ice?
Didn't they hold some kind of tasting party, invite everyone to their home, and then go out to play by themselves?
It’s really out of tune...
There is an "ice puncher" on the second floor of the house. Holding the handle with both hands, you can forcefully chip away at the ice up and down like a tamp.
The "ice threader" is made of a piece of wood as thick as the mouth of a small bowl. One end is trimmed into a pointed shape, and an iron drill bit is inserted into it. On the other end, a shovel is cut on it, and a thick eye is inserted into it into a half-meter-long hole.
A wooden stick serves as a handle.
When chiseling, Fang Jun did not chisel through the ice in one place at once. Instead, he chiselled out a circle of about one foot, and dug deep pits every inch. When the ice was chiseled down to only an inch thick, he cut out the ice.
The piercer was turned upside down and smashed hard into the center of the hole, and a permeable hole as wide as the mouth of a bowl was immediately smashed into the ice.
At this time, Fang Jun quickly took a few steps back, and a water column as thick as a bowl spurted out from the hole in the ice. When the water column hit the ground, he saw so many fish, shrimps, toads and other underwater creatures pouring out with the water column.
, jumping happily on the ice, but it was freezing cold, and the fish and shrimp froze into popsicles after jumping around for a while.
The girl in snow-white fox fur next to her was smiling brightly, carrying a wooden bucket, and trotted over to pick up the frozen catch. She laughed cheerfully from time to time, as sweet as a silver bell.
However, Fang Jun smashed through all the holes in the ice after the water column spurted out, forming a large ice hole. Then he first used a strange-shaped net to fish out all the ice in the water, and then extended the net to the hole in the ice.
Fishing. First, forcefully turn the dip net in one direction. After turning it for a few times, it suddenly turns back. Then, the dip net is suddenly lifted up, and several big fish are caught in the dip net.
His Majesty Li Er looked at it with great interest. Isn't it too easy to catch fish?
The girl cheered, trotted over happily, and said in surprise: "These fish are so big!"
Fang Jun looked proud: "Isn't it awesome? When it comes to shaved ice fishing, if someone in the entire Tang Dynasty says he is second, then no one dares to claim to be first!"
The girl praised softly: "Erlang is the most powerful!"
Fang Jun laughed: "Hurry and pick up the fish, pick up the big ones and throw the small ones back into the ice hole."
Li Er, who was watching from a distance, was puzzled. The girl was also puzzled and asked: "Why is it so troublesome?"
Fang Jun leaned over and picked up the big fish from the net into the wooden barrel. While he was busy, he said: "Look at these small fish, they don't have much meat and they are not delicious. But if you raise them in the river for a year, they can lay eggs."
Reproduction, offspring will continue. If you throw it away now and let it freeze to death, there will be many fewer fish in the next year? What about the next year? So, if you throw away one fish now, it means that there will be thousands less fish in the future.
fish……"
Not only was the girl a little confused now, but His Majesty Li Er, Li Junxian, and Wang De were also dumbfounded.
What nonsense is this?
They all thought that Fang Jun was teasing the girl, but they didn't know that this was what Fang Jun had in mind.
People who have never lived in the 21st century can never imagine how terrible the depletion of natural resources is.
Everyone has the responsibility to protect natural resources, and we must start from a small fish...
