Royal Road - Chapter 84

[Chapter 84]

“I came to the mansion several times, and I can see different atmospheres. Liang Hou’s deep cooperation in business management really impressed the lower officials!” Sitting in the guest seat, Guo Jiao smiled attentive.

Now just after the seventh day of the first lunar year, Guo Jiao came to celebrate the New Year, which was somewhat beyond Liang Feng’s expectations.

You must know that there are also group worship in this era. Before the fifteenth, it was basically when officials visited each other.

A low-level bureaucrat like him had to go to the county seat to visit Shangguan, and it would take several days for him to come and go.

To be able to rush here at this time, it is obvious that the Liang Mansion is placed in a very important position.

Liang Feng smiled and said, “It’s all thanks to Dongye in charge of Gaodu. If you change someone, I’m afraid you won’t be able to recuperate like this.”

Now Liang Feng is no longer called Duke Ming, and changed his name to Guo Jiao’s word “Dongye”, bringing the relationship between the two closer. relation.

Hearing the other party’s praise, Guo Jiao couldn’t help but show a bit of lust on his face: “Lianghou speaks seriously. If it wasn’t for Lianghou’s guidance, these hundreds of people would not have been added this winter. Who would have expected so many refugees in Luoyang. Haha, it seems that we can reclaim a few more acres of wasteland during the spring ploughing.”

Guo Jiao tasted the sweetness of cash-for-work.

In just one winter, the city walls of Gaodu were raised by several feet, and the previously damaged areas were also repaired.

If there are more chaotic troops coming, as long as the food supply in the city is continuous, it can hold on for several months.

This is a real life-saving credit, but the money spent is half of what it used to be in previous years.

Even the houses of the refugees were built by them.

After all, there are land reclaimed in front of them, so how could this group of people not take good care of their residence.

In this way, two or three major things have been accomplished with the money and food provided to the victims.

Not only fell the benefits, but also got a virtuous name.

And you don’t have to spend too much money in the treasury. With the military rations from Wuling, it is like getting all kinds of benefits in vain!

If it wasn’t for the ingenious skills of the person in front of him, where would these achievements come from?

This alone is enough for Guo Jiao to come to the door today and Baba to give New Year’s greetings.

“Once you have fields, you have to cultivate them carefully. It coincided with the heavy snowfall last year, which should be an omen of a good year.” Liang Feng replied with a smile.

“That’s right!” Guo Jiao excitedly said, “I came back early this time, just to encourage the cultivation of spring. If Lianghou is free, why not go to the county government and participate in the ceremony of driving the Nuo at the beginning of spring?” The

so-called “whip spring” , is an important ceremony at the beginning of spring.

“Zhou Li Yue Ling” has a cloud: “The cow was unearthed to send cold air.” On the day of the beginning of spring, all the officials in the capital must wear blue clothes, and the county officials of the prefectures and counties and the small officials of fighting food wear green silk and set up blue flags.

Skilled craftsmen were ordered to carve earth cows outside the city gate, whip the earth cows with whips, and remind the people to start spring ploughing.

At the same time, exorcise ghosts and drive away the cold.

This is the most serious cultivating ceremony.

However, Bingzhou was in great famine, the people were displaced, and the government had not held such a ceremony for a long time.

How could those Qingliu elegant scholars stand hard in the fields to beat the cows and let a group of muddy legs watch on?

Only underprivileged children like Guo Jiao would think about holding such a ceremony, and would take the liberty to invite Liang Feng, a nobleman, to watch the ceremony.

However, Liang Feng smiled: “Dongye can persuade the farmers in person, I will observe the ceremony myself.” Unexpectedly, the other party’s answer was so straightforward, Guo Jiao couldn’t help but be overjoyed: ”

With

Lianghou present, the spring ploughing will be smooth!”

When the Buddha’s son participated in the exorcism, the people would naturally feel more at ease.

The refugees can also obediently cultivate the wasteland, and maybe they can make up for a crop of spring wheat and collect more food.

When he thought of the sight of the full treasury and granary this year, Guo Jiao felt extremely relieved, and sighed leisurely: “It’s a pity that Captain Wu went to Jinyang. If he was there, we would be able to participate in the Nuo ceremony together.

” Wei went to Jinyang after Zhengdan, presumably to take advantage of Duke Dongying to return to Bingzhou to inquire about his promotion.

Liang Feng replied with a smile, “I’m afraid I’ll call him General Wu when I come back this time. Until then, there will be a banquet to celebrate.”

“Hahaha, that’s right.” Guo Jiao also laughed happily.

After having lunch, Guo Jiao left in a hurry, and it is estimated that it was Fucheng to study the issue of Spring Festival.

Liang Feng returned to the inner courtyard and played with Liang Rong.

Now is the Spring Festival, so it should be the time for children to go on winter vacation.

However, Liang Rong is very self-disciplined, and even these few days, he has been obediently staying in the study to practice calligraphy and endorsement.

Liang Feng couldn’t see it, so he played the game with the little guy.

In this era, there are no game consoles, and board and card games such as Shuanglu and Liubo are quite boring, so Liang Feng made people a simple military flag.

According to the settings of the marshal, general, school lieutenant, army marquis, colony chief, team leader, corporal chief, corporal chief, and scout, change the military flag to the commander’s flag, change the bomb to □□, change the mine to the trap, and follow the rules. Played like that.

This thing is so novel that Liang Rong couldn’t put it down as soon as he saw it, and he would pester Liang Feng to play a few games every day.

Who didn’t get addicted to games when they were kids?

The military flag is much simpler than Go. Liang Rong doesn’t cry when he loses, but just thinks about the layout silently. The distressed appearance is so cute, and Liang Feng is naturally happy to spend time with him.

“Ah!” Liang Rong watched Lvzhu take away the school captain on his side, and couldn’t help but exclaimed, “How could my father put the general here!”

“Why not? The light cavalry rushing in is the most difficult to guard against. With that said, Liang Feng pushed another chess piece forward, and Lu Zhu hurriedly looked left and right at the chess pieces standing up on both sides, covered his lips with a smile, and removed Liang Rong’s piece.

Seeing that the trap was dug up by the scouts, the powerful scorpion only consumed the opponent’s corporal leader, and Liang Rong’s nervous little fists were clenched.

However, with a lot of strategies, they couldn’t save the decline. With little effort, the handsome flag who was staying in the camp was carried away by the opponent.

Liang Rong still couldn’t understand, there are two camps, why can my father guess which side of his handsome flag is every time?

“Father, let’s do another round!” Liang Rong couldn’t help begging.

“You can only play three games a day, but Rong’er forgot the agreement?” Liang Feng raised his eyebrows.

Chess and card games are quite addictive, and Liang Feng is also consciously honing Liang Rong’s self-control.

Sure enough, when he heard this, Liang Rong’s little face collapsed, and he said obediently, “Rong’er didn’t forget.”

“It’s not good for your health to sit for too long. Go throw the pot.” Liang Feng smiled and rubbed the little guy. ‘s brain.

Liang Rong immediately regained his energy, walked to the corner, picked up the long arrow shaft, and tried to throw the pot.

This is also the most popular game among the nobility, and it is a derivative variant of “Shooting Rites”.

In ancient times, if an adult man could not shoot arrows, it was regarded as a shame. Therefore, when the princes entertained guests, they would invite the other party to shoot arrows as a gift, and they could not refuse.

If there are people who can’t shoot, they will use arrows to throw pots instead.

Later, the shooting ceremony evolved into the throwing pot, which removed the arrow and only used the arrow shaft to throw into the pot.

Before the Eastern Han Dynasty, it was still a ceremonial ceremony, but after the Eastern Han Dynasty, it became an elegant entertainment.

The famous people of Wei and Jin Dynasties even played the game of throwing pots.

Every time there is a banquet, there will be Song of Songs throwing the pot, but also pay attention to the posture and skills when throwing.

The nature is probably similar to that of golf in later generations. It is a kind of entertainment that coexists with force and skill.

Liang Feng himself has no strength in his hands, and Liang Rong is weak and weak, so throwing pots has become a common fitness activity for both of them.

Anyway, it is very practical, and there is nothing wrong with practicing more.

When Yiyan entered the room, what he saw was the scene of father and son throwing pots each with an arrow.

Liang Feng has fluttering sleeves and elegant posture, Liang Rong has short hands and calves, and is childish and cute.

However, the biggest thing the two have in common is that they are very different from each other.

Seeing Yiyan coming, Liang Feng smiled and said, “Yiyan, give us some pointers.”

This thing is not quite the same as a dart. The shaft is too long and it is made of bamboo. Knocked at the mouth of the pot and flew out.

Liang Feng’s hands are not stable now, and it is not bad to be able to hit it in ten strokes. Naturally, he needs to find someone to teach him.

Yi Yan glanced at the military flag, then strode to Liang Feng’s side, took the arrow shaft, and threw it out.

I don’t know how he used his strength, but the arrow fell into the pot with a snap, and it turned around, but it just didn’t pop out.

“Can you make the bamboo arrow pop out, and then throw it in after you catch it?” Liang Feng was interested. This is a high-level skill in throwing a pot. .

Yiyan weighed the arrow shaft and threw it again, only to hear a thud, the arrow hit the bottom of the pot, bounced back the same way, and landed in his hands.

Repeatedly, the arrow shaft flew back and forth, like a shuttle, which made people dazzled.

“Okay!” Liang Feng couldn’t help applauding, even Liang Rong’s eyes widened, looking envious.

Yiyan grabbed the arrow shaft again, but this time, instead of throwing it, he said to Liang Feng: “When the lord throws the arrow, don’t move your wrist, use the force of your arm to swing it out, the arrow can be pressed down and you can put it into the pot.”

It seems that the way of playing darts is not suitable, Liang Feng took the arrow shaft, thought about Yiyan’s previous actions, and waved again.

This time, it was much stronger than before. The arrow shaft hit the mouth of the pot, turned half a circle, and landed in the pot.

“It seems to be useful!” Liang Feng smiled and touched Liang Rong’s head, “Will Rong Er also learn?”

Liang Rong looked at the tall man and looked at Hukou in the distance.

He grabbed Liang Feng’s sleeve: “If the archery is accurate, can the throwing of the pot be accurate?”

“That’s natural.” Liang Feng said,

“I want to learn the archery first!” Liang Rong grabbed the hem of Liang Feng’s clothes.

“Then you should take a teacher. This Yiying is a sharp shooter and has excellent archery skills.” Liang Feng smiled and nodded to the people around him.

Liang Rong hesitated this time, and after a while, he asked, “When did you start practicing arrows?”

“After ten years old.” Yi Yan wrinkled and replied simply.

“Then I’m practicing archery now, can I surpass you?” Liang Rong asked again.

“No.” Yi Yan replied more simply.

Choking hard, Liang Rong turned his head and complained, “Father, I don’t want to learn arrows from him!”

“Hahaha!” Liang Feng couldn’t help laughing, “You practice arrows, so do others. After ten years of hard work, it is naturally difficult to catch up. Rong Er, go back and learn from the soft bow first.”

Being interrupted by this, Liang Rong was no longer so angry, and nodded gloomily.

Seeing that it was getting late, Liang Feng asked the maid to take the little guy to wash and rest, and he sat back at the table: “In the future, I promised the magistrate of Guo to go to Gaodu to participate in the exorcism ceremony. Let’s go with some people.”

Yi Yan nodded, hesitated for a while, and pointed at the broken chess set on the table: “Why didn’t your lord teach me this?”

Liang Feng raised his eyebrows in surprise: “Do you want to play Lu Xingqi?”

“Think! “Yi Yan simply sat down on the other side of the table.

The military flag is originally a game of marching and forming an army. It is reasonable to say that it is not wrong to let Yi Yan learn, but Liang Feng did not agree immediately, but smiled: “This is a game. Rong’er is free to play, do you want to play too?”

Does this compare him to a child?

However, Yiyan didn’t give in and simply said, “I want to play!”

Looking at Yiyan’s stubborn expression, Liang Feng couldn’t help shaking his head and smiling: “Then I won’t play Go today. Just play this.”

Yiyan nodded immediately.

Liang Feng smiled and said nothing, turned over the pieces and explained it carefully.
