Back to Datang with weapons

Chapter 415 Southern Grain Disaster (Please Subscribe!)
At the front of the theater is a large table, which is currently covered with a big red cloth.

There was only a loud "bang" coming from behind the red cloth, everyone was shocked, their eyes moved to the red cloth, and the audience was silent...

While everyone was concentrating on it, suddenly, the red cloth fell down instantly, and behind the red cloth, stones were scattered all over the platform, as if a big stone had been blasted and left behind...

And in the middle of the gravel, a monkey-like man in a yellow furry suit slowly stood up. The most ridiculous thing was that his tail stuck out from under his crotch...

But everyone has no time to worry about this, because the picture advances very quickly, and it has reached the point where the monkey is about to enter the Water Curtain Cave——

At this time, if they can no longer see what they are acting, these people have listened to the story for so long in vain!
"It's a stone monkey!"

"Monkey King!"

"Sun Wukong!"

A few people in front shouted excitedly, but they were glared at by the people behind. Everyone is not stupid, can you not see it?
What should you do if the people behind you can't hear you yelling such a wonderful story?
Do you have a sense of public morality?
After one party sang, the other party appeared on the stage. The storyline on the stage was full of peaks and climaxes. It was so enjoyable for everyone to watch!
A quarter of an hour before noon, the story came to an abrupt end when the monkey snatched the Poseidon pin—this seems to have become a habit, and it always breaks at the most critical moment. Very satisfied!

"Keep going!"

"It's finally over when it's time to make a big fuss in the Dragon Palace?"

These people basically know the development of the story, but they still want to see how the story is acted out. After all, reading novels and watching TV dramas are two different things. They are more eager for visual impact!

At this time, Zhang Tangwen came out and said with a smile: "The Twelve Theater opened on the first day, thank you for your support! Our theater has many stories. In addition to the story of the monkey and the story of the big eagle, there are also the stories of the gods. The story of the White Snake, etc., as long as you come to our Twelve Theater, you can guarantee that you will not be able to finish listening to and watching the story!"

Hearing what Zhang Tangwen said, everyone's mood became better again, especially the so-called "God Sculpture" and "White Snake", which I have never heard of. What is the story?

Seeing the enthusiastic response from everyone, Zhang Tangwen was very happy. His own business seemed to be booming!
It turned out that because I didn't have a legitimate business at home, apart from being pointed out by my parents and grandpa, I couldn't hold my head up outside!

But it's different now, he can finally stand up like a man...

"Everyone, don't be impatient. It's time for dinner. You can go to the Twelve Restaurant first. It's good to come over after dinner. Besides, our actors also need to rest and eat, don't they?"

Seeing that everyone expressed their understanding, Zhang Tangwen said again: "Besides, our Twelve Theater and Twelve Restaurant belong to the same family. Later, Twelve Restaurant will introduce to you how to read stories, drink spirits, eat and read stories! Everyone, it's best to start early Some time in the past, if you go late, I'm afraid you won't hear it!"

Hearing this, everyone was excited. The "Twelve Restaurant" doesn't occupy as much space as the "Twelve Theatre". If you arrive late, it's really not easy to get a seat!
So, within a quarter of an hour, all the people in the theater were astigmatized, and they rushed towards the restaurant...

Zhang Twelve, who was standing on the second floor, was very pleased to see this scene. This is considered a success!

…………

Spring goes and spring comes again, and the grass and flowers bloom.

The Spring Festival has passed, winter has left unknowingly, and spring has come quietly.

The thin ice on the moat outside the city has completely melted, the weeping willows by the river bank have sprouted new buds, the birds on the trees are chirping, and many migratory birds from the south have returned, flying and stopping on the trees, looking for new home……

This winter, many things happened.

King Xiang is gone, and the prince has changed as before. He no longer hangs out in the street every day, goes to court on time every day, and goes to the palace to discuss matters with the Tang emperor at night. He is completely walking the road of a wise king. .

Even when they saw Zhang Twelve, they would look at each other and smile.

But Zhang Twelve felt that the prince was even more terrifying. If he still hated him as much as before, he would think that this person is okay, but now it is obviously a bit more calculating...

It's strange to think that if such a person becomes the emperor in the future, his life will be easier!

Therefore, Zhang Twelve has been thinking about some things these days, such as whether he needs to change to a place far away from the emperor. Even if he wants to move himself in the future, it will be beyond his reach!
The first place that Zhang Twelve thought of was Liangzhou, but he rejected it not long after all. After all, Liangzhou is located in the far west, and the climate is really bad, so it is really not suitable for long-term residence. The south is more suitable, but he has never Been there, don't think about it...

This matter still needs a long-term plan!

The development of "Twelve Restaurants" and "Twelve Theatres" is unexpectedly smooth. Not only is Jingzhou very popular, it is full every day, and even many people from other places come here admiringly. It turns out that if you don't eat "Wenxianglai" once, you have never been to Jingzhou. , but now it is said that if you don't have a meal at the "Twelve Restaurant" or listen to a play at the "Twelve Theatre", you are a Tang Dynasty person!
Zhang Twelve was even thinking that with his current reputation, he could open another branch in other places. As for where to open it, this is still to be discussed...

Seeing that restaurants and theaters are on the right track, and there is no need for Zhang Twelve to intervene, he is happy to have a leisurely time. When Qin Yutong and Lu Fujing go out to work, he takes Chen Qiaoxi to have sex at home for a while, and Chen Qiaoxi gets Zhang Twelve. Twelve's nourishment made her complexion get better and better, but there was one thing that Zhang Twelve felt very strange. Why didn't Chen Qiaoxi show any signs of pregnancy when they did it so many times?
What's more, Zhang Twelve moved out from the Duke of Wei's mansion.

When moving, the old lady was 1 reluctant, but Zhang Twelve's reason was that he was old and had a house bestowed by the emperor, so it was only natural to move there.

The old lady didn't believe his rhetoric, it was clearly for the purpose of living with those girls!
Hey, it's not fake at all to marry a daughter-in-law and forget your mother!
After Zhang Twelve moved in, he broke open the door on the wall between Qin Yutong's house on his own initiative, saying that it would be convenient for him to walk back and forth...

The three women couldn't be more clear about what he meant, and they didn't bother to talk about him.

Opening the door made it easier for Zhang Twelve, but it was a pain for Lu San. Every time he saw him tangled between Qiuping and Xiaohuan, Zhang Twelve felt inexplicably refreshed: Without that diamond, he would still be doing Nima porcelain work. oh!
That being said, Zhang Twelve has already deprived Lu San, Qiuping, and Xiaohuan of their slave status, because the new governor of Liangzhou is Guo Jing's former deputy general, and Zhang Twelve is also considered an old acquaintance, and wrote a letter It's all done...

Even though he was freed from slavery, Lu San still hadn't settled the two women. From this, it can be seen that his happiness has little to do with whether he is a slave or not...

Zhang Twelve will also go to the Huguo Gongfu.

Because after the last time the third prince of Wu State came to Datang and was defeated by Zhang Twelve, Wu State had long since lost its previous domineering style, and there were no more provocative things on the border, and Xiliang is now honest, so Datang It is a rare singing and dancing.

Because of this, Mo Li no longer had to be the same as before, taking troops to the front line to deal with conflicts, but stayed at home—teaching Zhang Twelve martial arts every day.

Speaking of which, it was thanks to Zhang Twelve that Mo Li could be so leisurely, otherwise, how could her skin be so white if she ran outside every day?
But Mo Li didn't feel grateful at all, and beat him up badly every time he taught martial arts, Zhang Twelve seriously suspected that Mo Li did it on purpose!
Didn't he just look at her breasts more?

But... But it's warm, and you don't wear so much, you still grow so big, you sway up and down when you run, and you are so plump that you can't wrap your bra, can you resist looking at it?

nonexistent!

So Zhang Twelve was very unconvinced when he hit himself because of this!
But the truth lies in the side with the harder fist. Obviously, Mo Li is the one with the harder fist.

Being beaten is always unpleasant, but the good news is that with daily study and Mo Li's "personal guidance", Zhang Twelve is still making some progress...

The reason why it is said that there is some progress rather than rapid progress is that Zhang Twelve feels aggrieved.

Speaking of learning light kung fu, no one taught him, he could reach this level by self-study, but as for martial arts, Mo Li taught him hand in hand every day, as a result, his progress was really not that great!
The once-in-a-century waste of martial arts, I'm afraid it's him.

Fortunately, Zhang Twelve doesn't need particularly high martial arts, as long as he can use it when punching in the face and dealing with ordinary local hooligans. If the opponent is more advanced, he will use his arsenal!
…………

Besides these, Zhang Twelve had one more task.

That is to enter the palace to talk with Princess Yilan.

Ever since King Xiang was assassinated, Princess Yilan hadn't smiled again.

Although the Emperor Tang and the Empress were also very sad, as time went by, they no longer felt the grief they had at the beginning.

But Princess Yilan has always been like that.

After hearing the news that King Xiang was assassinated, she had that expression, neither sad nor happy, the expression on her face was a little wooden, just like a puppet.

The emperor and the empress failed to persuade him, so they had no choice but to call Zhang Twelve into the palace, because Princess Yilan liked to chat with Zhang Twelve before, and hoped that Zhang Twelve would be effective again.

But Zhang Twelve's magic power didn't work this time. Princess Yilan saw that he was also lukewarm, so she allowed Zhang Twelve to tease him in every possible way, but to no avail.

Emperor Tang also allowed Zhang Twelve to take Princess Yilan out of the palace, but the effect was minimal. Princess Yilan had no interest in the outside world at all. The play was coming, but when Princess Yilan came to the entrance of the theater that used to be "Wen Xiang Lai", she backed away in fright.

It seems that the death of King Xiang hit her too hard...

A little girl who has lived in the palace for many years, all her knowledge about the outside world comes from her younger brother King Xiang, and this person suddenly disappeared-this is indeed a big blow to him...

This task was too difficult. Although Zhang Twelve wanted to help Princess Yilan, he had no good solution.

When Emperor Tang found out, he sighed even more.

Only at this time did Zhang Twelve realize that Emperor Tang was much older than before.

…………

Time is advancing silently in the spring breeze, and inadvertently, it has come to the middle of March.

Inside and outside the city, a piece of spring is full of vitality.

The weeping willows beside the moat are all green, and there are many winter jasmines with small yellow flower buds scattered around, and there are countless white magnolias, swaying on the trees with the breeze, and occasionally there are scattered petals, which the passionate girl will always pick up. Put one piece between your nose and sniff it vigorously, as if you have inhaled the whole spring into your body...

People have already taken off their heavy cotton clothes in winter, and the girls put on light and beautiful new clothes. They invite a few playmates to go on a spring trip together, and even some talented people gather together, scribbling pens and ink, and are ready to start the spring poems. meeting……

Emperor Tang couldn't greedily appreciate the beauty of this spring day like these gifted scholars and beauties, he didn't have this kind of leisure...

Because the recent events in the south gave him a headache.

There are constant memorials from the south, accusing the south of food shortages.

The south is headed by Jinling, with fertile land and rich water sources. It is known as a land of fish and rice, and the whole north can be compared with Taizhou.

Logically speaking, where there is a shortage of food, the south should not be short of food, but the problem now is that the south is short of food!

This is from last year.

Last year, the rainy season in the south entered relatively early, and the rainy season lasted too long, which directly caused waterlogging disasters, and this disaster happened just over a month before the rice matured.

This month is the golden period for rice production. During this time period, sunlight, water and fertilizer are the most critical. Therefore, when the flood disaster came, last year's rice harvest was directly halved.

However, for people in the south who often store several hundred catties of grain, even if the harvest is not good for a year, it should not be a big deal. Much higher than before.

The original grain was only fifty yuan a catty, but the grain farm offered a high price of one hundred yuan!
Thinking that the new grain will come down soon, the common people don’t care about it. They just want to make more money, so they sell most of the grain in the family, and the grain left can be eaten until the end of the next year. At that time, The new rice will all come down.

But who knew, but suddenly suffered such a natural disaster?

The food left by ordinary people's homes from the previous year was almost eaten up before the Spring Festival last year, but there are still four or five months before the rice matures in the next year. How do we live during this period?
So the common people flocked to those big grain villages, wanting to exchange the money in their hands for some grain to eat.

However, the grain farm said that all the grain they harvested last year was shipped to other places, and there was not much grain in stock, so the price is naturally not the original price!
