Chapter 94: Shangyuan Lantern Color Map
"I'm here, I'm here..." After Liu Yishou was a famous minister, he went out to see the world again, but at this moment he was whispering like a sheep's way:
"I want to admit my mistake for the ancestor. What he did was really wrong."
"Do you agree with that name now?" Zhao Hao smiled and pointed with his chin, "The Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia" anchored on the Huangpu River.
"Oh..." Liu Yishou's face was red for a long time, and nodded redly.
"Hahaha!" Zhao Hao burst out laughing. The viewing hall immediately became quiet, and everyone looked at Mr. Zhao.
"Okay, it seems that if you circle around the earth, you will grow a lot. With a realistic attitude, everything will be easy to do!" Zhao Hao raised his tone, so that everyone could hear his voice and said:
"Your great-grandfather, Duke Zhongxuan, is indeed a sinner in my country forever. But since you are seeking truth from facts, I also say that judging a person should be judged by 'that that time and place', and should not completely blame the ancients with the results of today. In fact, during the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty, the treasury was very empty at that time. It was really exhausting the people and the money they had, and it could not bring any visible benefits to the people and the court. Duke Zhongxuan burned the drawings and reduced the burden on the country and the people."
"Yes, yes..." Liu Yishou wiped his tears when he heard this, and nodded excitedly, "It turns out that the young master understands..."
"Haha, I didn't give the name "Liu Daxia, the eternal sinner of Ling Taizu". The purpose of using the name "Liu Daxia, the eternal sinner of Liu Daxia" is to remind people today not to do such things that harm their descendants. Liu Zhongxuan was understandable back then, but now a hundred years have passed. Europeans have completed a global voyage, robbing territory and digging gold, and are so rich that they are all over their body. They also came to our doorstep to stare at us! At this time, whoever wants to stop going to sea will be the real eternal sinner, eternal traitor, gods hate ghosts and hate!"
"Yes, yes! The young master is right! Whoever dares to stop going out to sea will be our enemy!" The guests applauded and agreed.
After the global voyage is completed, everyone now believes that overseas is full of gold, silver, land and precious spices. Whoever dares to stop everyone from going out to make a fortune is the public enemy who has no anus for having children!
Seeing that the atmosphere was coming, Liu Yishou plucked up his courage and said, "That young man, the villain has a heartless request..."
"It's still for that?" Zhao Hao smiled faintly. Was he just to change the name of "The Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia"?
"Yes." Liu Yishou nodded and looked at Zhao Hao and said, "The ancestors mistakenly burned the charts for the West. Although there was nothing wrong at that time, they caused great losses to their descendants. In order to compensate for his mistakes, I am willing to stay on the ship for the rest of my life and re-draw the charts for the South and the West. No, I want to draw all the charts for the seven oceans!"
"That's not something your generation can accomplish." Zhao Hao shook his head and smiled without comment.
"It doesn't matter, I will have my son after that, and my son will have grandson after that, and my son will have endless descendants!" Liu Yishou said generously.
"Good guy, Lao Liu wants to be a Yugong at the sea!" Niu Zhan couldn't help but praise: "Yugong can move the world. Lao Liu is also very energetic. Please see if you can be able to be able to be able to be compatible?"
"Okay, since I have said that..." Zhao Hao smiled and nodded, and finally said to Liu Yishou: "When you draw an accurate chart of the sea areas where my Ming ships are moving, I will change the name "Liu Daxia, the eternal sinner" to you!" Mr. Zhao finally nodded and let go.
"That's great, thank you young master!" Liu Yishou was moved, as if he had seen the "Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia" renamed the "Flying Hunan People". Just thinking about the glorious scene made his tears flow down.
Although Mr. Zhao had already received a vaccination, Old Liu still didn't realize how arduous his task was. He thought it would take him a few years to complete it...
"You can't miss the tour of various counties this year." Zhao Hao also smiled and added to him: "If someone else says ten thousand words, it won't help you."
"Ah?" Liu Yishou looked embarrassed. Wouldn't he have to whip the corpse of his ancestors repeatedly?
"If the results are good, I can consider a minor change to the 'Eternal Sinner Liu Daxia', such as adding a 'formerly' in front of it..." Zhao Hao tempted him.
"Trade!" Liu Yishou gritted his teeth and agreed. He said to his heart that his ancestors, for your reputation, sacrifice your reputation...
~~
The cold dinner lasted for an afternoon, and the guests surrounded Liu Yishou with great enthusiasm and listened to him bragging about his adventures around the world.
The same robbery of the Spanish in the Caribbean, and it was said from ordinary crew members that it was to rob the family and eat the bad.
But if a scholar like Liu Yishou talks about it, he will become Chen Zigong, Ban Dingyuan, Wang Xuance... What a guy, his blood is boiling, and he is so glorious!
The guests were fascinated by the hearing, and they had to continue talking, from Sino-US to South America, from South America to Antarctica, and then they would return to South America to kill all directions... The process was really heart-wrenching, and it was very satisfying to just listen.
Moreover, this is a building that is more than 30 stories high, so it is not easy for everyone to walk up the stairs, and they all want to stay at a time. So they stayed until dusk and enjoyed the magnificent scene of the setting sun in the long river. Then they reluctantly walked down the stairs.
Unexpectedly, going downstairs is even more tiring than going upstairs. My legs are sore that I can't bear to eat at all, so I can only turn my body sideways and move down like a crab.
When the guests finally moved down the tower, they saw that the night sky was dark and whale oil street lamps lit up one after another in the square.
People heard that these whale oils were mainly imported from Ainu Island. It is said that the Ainu people collected toxic plants to extract toxins, applied them to spears, and then took a small boat to hunt whales. They ate whales, then cut the whale's skin and fat into strips, boiled into whale oil to exchange daily necessities with the Ming Dynasty and armor and weapons to resist the Japanese.
But in fact, the Jiangnan Group has a huge demand for whale oil. In addition to lighting, it also uses lubricating oil and extracting glycerin. The Ainu people cannot even meet 10% of whale oil. It is mainly smuggled from Japan. But Japanese goods are shameless, but they are all counted on the Ainu people.
As a result, the people of Jiangnan were full of favor for the Ainu people... They thought they were too capable, and they could go down the sea to fish for whales and go into the mountains to cut big trees. Many people yelled to rescue them from the claws of the Japanese pirates.
~~
When the lights first came up, a bright moon also jumped out of the sea quietly. The moon on the fifteenth is round and the moon tonight is very round.
Amid a burst of cheers suddenly sounded in the square, everyone looked back and saw a string of red lanterns lit on the Oriental Pearl Tower behind them. Tens of millions of lanterns decorated the tower body that was a hundred meters high... a glowing candied haws illuminated the two sides of Huangpu.
Soon, in the square and on the green space, a sea of colorful and lanterns became a sea of colorful lanterns.
The flower boats and pleasure boats on the river surface also hang glass lamps and colorful lanterns, reflecting the river water with beautiful colorful lights.
The sky was filled with gorgeous fireworks, completely covering up the starlight. The crackling sound of firecrackers and the blowing sound of dragons and lions sounded everywhere in the city.
The new district already has a population of 500,000. Moreover, the average monthly income of about 2 taels is about 2 taels. The technicians can even earn three or four taels a month, and their income is far higher than that of other prefectures and counties, and even Suzhou cannot compare.
There are so many well-off citizens in Pudong, so you can naturally make more money when you come here to perform. So after the Chinese New Year, hundreds of troupes came from all directions, and even the juggling teams in Yancheng and Guangde came from afar, just to make a good fortune during the ten-day Shangyuan Lantern Festival.
So from the square to the main road of the new district, Jiangnan Avenue, there have been singing and dancing for several days, walking on stilts, rowing dry boats, dancing yangge, and performing acrobatics... What about tracing on the pole, Zhang Jiuge swallowing iron swords, Li Waining Lefa Puppet, Ma Xiao Iron Pot stewed himself... People were crazy and followed the fun team to run around the city.
The most eye-catching one is the fire dragon dance that prays to expel the plague god. People tied them into dragon-like shapes with grass, tied them with pine, grease and fire candles on the dragons. After lit, more than a dozen young men were each held up and down, just like fire dragons with flames raising their heads and swaying their tails in the air, which was very spectacular.
In such a lively day, there are naturally a crowd of people, and everyone comes out to swim early with the elderly and young people. There are children running around like fish in the crowd, groups of dressed girls, and many couples who are boldly dating...
The shops were all fighting at night, and the guys were shouting hard at the door. In addition to eating and drinking, there were also various flowers, jewelry, cultural relics, bonsai, fish and poultry...
The vendors carrying baskets and basins were also squeezing among the crowd, selling all kinds of sugar, rice dumplings, powder balls, lotus stems, botou, melon seeds, and various melons and fruits for you to enjoy.
This vivid "Shangyuan Lantern Color Picture" really has a bit of the flavor of a prosperous festival...
~~
Zhao Hao and his two wives were strolling in the crowded square. The young men and women were carrying small lanterns and running through their eyes excitedly. The young men and women who came out to date also boldly held their hands, exposing their waists, and did not shy away from the eyes of others.
The Lantern Festival is the real Valentine's Day of the Ming Dynasty.
Men and women working in the new district have freed themselves from the personal constraints of the clan and gained greater economic freedom. They are also more likely to be exposed to operas that do not teach people well, and soon learn bad things in big cities.
I returned to the bold date and love that I had boldly dated and boldly loved in the Tang and Song dynasties.
very nice.
Human nature cannot be destroyed. It is like the seeds under stones, which are dormant in a harsh environment for many years. But once the climate is right, the stone will soon be pushed open, stubborn buds, and eventually bloom with gorgeous flowers!
