Change the Tang Dynasty Li Yuanba

Chapter 40

"Beep, beep, beep, beep." Three whistles representing getting up came from the iron whistle in Menghu's mouth.

The students hurriedly dressed and jumped off the bed. They only had a quarter of an hour to dress and wash.The students hurriedly got to work on their own, some tidy up the housework first, and some wash up first.

Busy but not chaotic, what they are talking about is their current state, which is the habit Meng Hu spent five days developing for them.

In the first two days, how could this group of pampered young masters do it easily.But it doesn't matter if you can't do it, Meng Huo is relentless, if you can't finish it in a quarter of an hour, you won't have breakfast, and if you haven't sorted out the housework, you won't have breakfast.

Originally, it was no big problem for these children not to eat breakfast, but they did five kilometers of morning exercise every day without breakfast.

This did not start from the third day, no one slacked off, and when the whistle sounded, they turned over and got up immediately, forming a conditioned reflex.But the bed is up, and the young masters have encountered a new problem, only sixteen washing stations are not enough.

The natures of the dandies are easy to change. Although they are afraid that Li Cha and Meng Huo will not fight, quarrels are inevitable.Meng Huo waved his hand, so those who participated in the quarrel ran an extra five kilometers and had no breakfast.

Although the young masters were a little playful in the past, they are all intelligent people.No one reminds me, the young masters use their dormitory as a unit and divide themselves into two groups. One half will go to wash first, and then come back to clean up the housework, and the other half will clean up the house first and wash up later.Each dormitory occupies two washing stations, which do not interfere with each other.

Li Cha has been watching all this silently. If the resources are not enough, then use the resources rationally. This is the truth that everyone understands.Originally, Li Cha thought that there would be a smart person to take charge of the overall situation, and the first five dormitories and the last five dormitories would be used as the distinction points to allocate the washing stations.Unexpectedly, these children are all smart people, and they solved this problem by themselves in their own dormitories.

"Beep, beep, beep." The assembly whistle sounded. The 71 students were divided into four rows and stood in front of Meng Huo. T-shirts, sports pants, simple and capable, full of vigor.This is the school uniform that Li Cha specially customized for them.Datang's cumbersome costumes make it inconvenient to do anything.

"Stand at attention", "Look to the left," "Look forward", "Sit down", "Stand at attention", "Report the number".A series of orders were shouted from Meng Huo's mouth, all of which were taught by Li Cha.

"1.2.3.4.518"

"Report for teaching. After the students have assembled, there should be 71 people. When 71 people arrive, the report is over." The tallest Yuchi Baolin undertook the task of reporting.

"Do five kilometers in the morning, start now, run."

Li Cha next to him looked at this group of energetic children and nodded in satisfaction. This is the hope of Datang in the future.On top of this capable attire, the full length of hair made Li Cha feel awkward.But there is no change in being awkward. Some concepts can be changed, but some concepts are not so easy for people to accept.In this era of "body, hair and skin, what you receive from your parents", so be it.

After morning exercise and breakfast, the students lined up neatly in front of Li Cha again, waiting for Li Cha's lecture and preparing to start a new day of classes.

Through these six days of getting along, the students found that Li Cha was not as scary as their parents said, he was a kind and amiable person, and he always regarded them as friends. What was really scary was their teacher, Meng Huhu.

At the same time, they were completely overwhelmed by the knowledge that Li Cha gave them.Li Cha opened a new door for them.This is the gateway to endless possibilities.

Li Cha stood in front of the students, holding several stones of the same size, and threw them into the distance with different strengths.The stone drew several different parabolas in the air and fell to the ground.The students watched carefully, they had long been used to Li Cha's small movements before class every day, and they were all watching Li Cha's movements seriously without Li Cha's orders.

"Students, you all know that when you throw the same stone with different forces, the curves you draw are different, and the landing points are also different, but do you know why? Do you know how to calculate it? This is force. The role of the teacher tells you that everything can be calculated."

"Students, do you know why there are four seasons of spring, summer, autumn and winter in a year? Do you know why the sun rises in the east and sets in the west? Is the sun really moving? Today, the teacher will once again change your perception of the world."

"These two questions are the lessons we are going to learn today. Now let's enter the classroom and start the class."

Every day is the same, every time Li Cha will mobilize the students' enthusiasm for learning, and then enter the classroom to give lectures.Moreover, Li Cha found that these children are surprisingly smart and study hard.Li Cha was very satisfied with this.

As soon as the first class was over, Meng Huo came to Li Cha with two soldiers, and there were two carriages parked outside.They had come earlier, but they were stopped by Meng Hu, until Li Cha announced that the get out of class was dismissed.

"King Hua, we are the personal guards of the Hejian County King's Mansion. We are ordered by the Hejian County King to get some things for the guests at tomorrow's banquet. The Hejian County King said that the Hua King knows what it is. Also, this is the Hejian County King. Invitation from King Jianjun to King Hua, invite King Hua to attend tomorrow's luncheon." The leader of the guards spoke forward.

"You can follow old General Meng to get things. As for the luncheon tomorrow, I won't go. You can reply to the emperor and Hejian County King and they will take care of it. If guests ask me, just say that I am busy. Teach their children to be talented." Li Cha waved his hand and said.He is very busy now, and he doesn't want to deal with civil and military officials yet.

On the sixth day of the fifth month of the lunar calendar, just after the Dragon Boat Festival, today is the day when Li Xiaogong, king of Hejian County, celebrates the return of King Li Jiahua of Longyou with a grand banquet.

King Hua's return is a major event for the Li family in Longyou.

All the children of the Li family in Chang'an came to help early, and Li Daozong, Li Yuanba's cousin, was no exception.It's not right that Li Daozong is taking his eldest son Li Jingheng with Li Xiaogong and his eldest son Li Chongyi to greet the guests at the door.

When I first entered Sisi ([-]:[-] a.m.), the city of Chang’an was full of people. The nobles who received the invitation came one after another with gifts. Whether it was Li Xiaogong or Li Daozong, they just said to the visitors: "Thank you, Mr. XXX, for your kindness. Please wait in the front yard for a while, and when the emperor comes, let's take a seat together." After speaking, let Li Chongyi or Li Jingheng take them into the front yard.

Although everyone wondered why the emperor hadn't come yet, they should wait for the emperor. They entered the front yard one after another, communicated with each other, and waited for the emperor's arrival.

It's no wonder why everyone wondered why the emperor didn't come early today. Usually, no matter who the guests are at the banquet, the emperor will arrive very early as long as he agrees to go.The emperor also knew that he had to wait in the yard when he was not with everyone. In order to show his compassion for the officials, the emperor would wait for everyone in the hall early.

Today, this is just a big show arranged by the emperor and Hejian County King for everyone present at the suggestion of Prince Li Chengqian.

No, it's almost time for people to come, and the big show begins.I saw Li Fu, the steward of the King of Hejian County (let’s just stick to the vulgar, butlers are usually called X Fu, so we can’t escape the custom), bringing a carriage from the back door to the front door.

"Bold Li Fu, don't you know what day it is today? How dare you walk through the front door with a carriage, what do you want?" Li Xiaogong cursed.

When everyone in the courtyard heard Li Xiaogong's yelling and cursing, they all came over to watch the commotion.It stands to reason that no matter what happened, Li Xiaogong would not scold his housekeeper in front of so many people. Isn't this exposing his family's ugliness and making people laugh.

Why don't everyone gather together to see what's going on, and it can also be used as an after-dinner gossip to others in the future.This is the scandal of the Hejian County King, which is rare.

"If you go back to the king of the county, the old servant is really helpless. The lock on the back door is broken, and you won't be able to open it for a while. If there is something else in the carriage, the old servant will not disturb your adults. The back kitchen is waiting to use the green salt used for cooking, so the old servant can only ask the county king to enter through the front door." The butler Li Fu bowed down and said.

"Well, this matter can't be delayed, let's not take it as an example, and arrange things early in the future, don't let your lords see a joke, let your lords think that I have no rules in the Hejian County Prince's Mansion." Li Xiaogong first taught the housekeeper Li Fu a lesson.

Then he turned around and said to the adults: "I'm sorry, my old housekeeper. Although I didn't obey the rules today and disturbed your elegance, it's justifiable. The green salt on this car is a Today I entertained you for cooking. The last time I ran out of fine salt when cooking at home, and it was too late to buy, so I directly used some green salt for frying. The taste, once eaten, will never be forgotten. This is not for today. To entertain everyone, I asked the housekeeper to buy it. As for the taste, you will know after a taste, now let's make a concession and transport this green salt to the back kitchen, otherwise you will have no luck."

I have to say that the Hejian County King's play is really good, and if you don't think about it carefully, there are really no flaws.Even the reason why the back door lock was broken was found out.

Not long after the carriage entered, our emperor, His Majesty Li Shimin, suddenly appeared, without giving everyone a chance to think about the big scene just now.

"Hahaha, all the lovers are here." Li Shimin walked into the palace with a smile.

"I have seen Your Majesty." Everyone saluted.

"It's all free. I have some political affairs to deal with today, so it's too late. Come in with me, everyone, and let's talk inside." Li Shimin said.

"Thank you, Your Majesty." Everyone stood up, followed Li Shimin into the hall, and sat down under the arrangement of Li Xiaogong and others.

"Hejian County King, King Hua's return is a major event for my Li family. Don't be stingy. Serve all the good wine and food, so don't make my family lose face." Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong.

"Return to Your Majesty, I have prepared all the food, wine and food, and I promise to make you all satisfied." Li Xiaogong said with cupped hands.

"By the way, why didn't you see Hua Wang? Didn't you inform him?" Li Shimin asked after looking at the audience.With this acting skill, it's no problem for future generations to be the best actor.

"Returning to Your Majesty, King Hua's original words are: He is teaching the heirs of his colleagues to become talents, and he has no time to come." Li Xiaogong replied.

"Hey, my third brother still has the temper of not caring about anything before, forget about him, as long as he comes back, we can eat and drink as much as we want today." Li Shimin took the words and said.

"Back to the emperor, the king of Hua has been worrying and exhausting for the minister and his heirs, and the minister can't help but be grateful." This is the minister who sent his child out to flatter.

"Haha, don't mention my third younger brother. Come on, let's have some tea first, and wait for the delicious food and wine from Prince Hejian." Li Shimin laughed.

Just after the time passed, the servants had already placed delicacies in front of everyone, and at the same time, half jars of banquet wine that had been opened were placed beside each person.The rich aroma of wine has filled the entire hall, and everyone can't wait any longer.Just wait for the emperor to say open the table.

"Let's have a feast, let's drink to our heart's content. Let's taste the fine wine prepared by King Hejian. This wine is fragrant. You don't need to drink it. You can tell it's good wine when you smell it. I can't wait any longer." He didn't say that he had never drank it, nor did he say that he didn't know it, but he just vaguely reminded everyone that it was good wine.

"I said, the king of the county, you are too stingy. This half jar of wine is enough for anyone to drink. Also, why do you use such a small bowl for drinking? Who do you look down on?" No need to ask, you can satirize a person in front of the emperor. For the king of the county, there is no one else except Cheng Yaojin.

"Hahaha, Duke Lu, I'll just leave it at that today. Whoever is able to walk home after drinking half of the jar of wine, I'll just give him a jar of wine. Is this a bowl? Forget it. This wine You must drink it in a small bowl, and you will know it after drinking it. I guarantee that you have never drunk this wine. Moreover, you can’t buy it for the time being. If you want to drink it after today and tomorrow, then try to drink your half jar Finish. Come on, everyone, have a sip first, I will tell you about the origin of this wine later." Li Xiaogong said with a big laugh.

"Let's say it first, you can't drink this wine in big gulps, you can only sip it in small sips. Come and drink." Li Xiaogong reminded.

Those who listened to the persuasion sipped, and those who didn't listen to the persuasion gulped it down. Anyway, the first sip was down, and they were very graceful.Everyone is currently in the process of adapting.

"Good wine", "Good wine", "This wine is really strong". A burst of praise came out from the mouths of everyone present.

Li Xiaogong was holding the wine glass with one hand, stroking his long beard with the other hand, his face was full of pride, but he didn't know whether it was pretending or acting.

"Your Majesty, where did this wine come from? This is the first time this old man has drunk such a good wine. What do you mean you can't buy it for the time being? You can't enjoy good things by yourself. It's not kind." An old minister said.

Li Xiaogong was secretly happy, what he was waiting for was your words.It's boring for me to act on my own.

"Hahaha, Mr. Wang, this wine, not only you, but everyone present has never drunk it. This wine was only released yesterday. I bought it at a place called Yanbin Restaurant. It is said that you can't buy it for the time being. Because I bought all of them in stock, if you want to drink, you have to wait for the next batch. As for where is the banquet building? You can find it yourself, I don’t want you and me to grab it. Hahaha” Mr. Li Xiao laughed.

"The county king is not kind." Everyone laughed.

But no one will take it seriously, as long as they know where to buy it, it doesn't matter to the people present whether Li Xiaogong says the location or not, they don't even know the name and can't find the place.

"The name of this wine is Yanbin Wine. The meaning of the name is: a must-have wine for guests at a big banquet. After drinking this wine, even the Sanlejiang will have no taste. Whoever wants to have a big banquet in the future, If you don’t have this banquet wine, don’t call me anymore. Hahaha.” Li Xiaogong said half-jokingly and half-seriously.

"Hahaha, banquet wine, good name, good name. After the banquet, the old man is going to order a batch for my little grandson who is about to be full moon. Everyone will definitely come."

"Go together, go together, my mother's [-]th birthday is coming soon. I have to prepare a batch."

"Don't compete with me, my son is about to get married, with such fine wine, who would use sambal?"

The guests rushed to express that they would order a batch.They are all good-looking people. Although Li Xiaogong took the lead in such a show, he still can't make him specialize in the front.Next time it's your turn to show off.In addition to these people who are doing it, I have many relatives and friends who can show off.

"Come, come, let's try this delicacy made with green salt again. I promise you will have endless aftertaste. After I have eaten it for the first time, I don't want to eat dishes made with fine salt again." Li Xiaogong said with a smile.

"Yeah, delicious". "Delicious." "It is indeed much more delicious than fine salt." "It's really memorable."
The role of psychological suggestion is infinite.In other words, the role of money is infinite.The delicacies made with green salt for a bucket of money are much more delicious than those made with fine salt for a bucket of 200 Wen.

Everyone didn't say anything this time to grab some green salt and go home to cook, because it's unknown whether banquet wine can be bought, everyone can say whatever they want, this green salt is stored in the salt department, if you can't get it , I can only say that I have no ability.But everyone here knows that no matter whose house you go to eat next time, the salt for cooking must be green salt.

Most of the people here are already impatient, and they are waiting for the banquet to go home and make arrangements.Of course, there are still many smart people in this group.I can vaguely detect that today's meal is a bit strange, but it's a pity, it's one thing to think clearly, but it's another thing to be able to avoid it. When other people's homes use this green salt and banquet wine, you If you don't use it at home, it would be too embarrassing.

Looking at the group of guests in the lobby who were in a hurry to leave the table, Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong looked at each other and smiled, it was considered a success.

Finally the banquet was over, and everyone left one after another, rushing home to make arrangements for grabbing salt and wine.

"Cousin, thank you for your help this time." After everyone left, Li Shimin said to Li Xiaogong.

"Doing things for His Majesty is the blessing of this humble official, so I can only say thank you. It's just that this humble official can't understand how King Hua can change so much after 18 years of absence." Li Xiaogong said with emotion.

"I don't know, but I know that Yuanba won't do anything to harm my Li family. That's enough." Li Shimin said.

Not long after, while Li Shimin and Li Xiaogong were chatting, the gate of the Salt Office was lined up with domestic servants vying for green salt, and the street was also full of domestic servants inquiring about banquet restaurants. It can be said that this afternoon, apart from major festivals, It was the busiest day in Chang'an City.
