246 Tanabata, the last peaceful night!
On the banks of the Qinhuai River.
Three Live Tree.
The young young men and ladies and the people were bustling with people, and the crowds were coming one after another. We were preparing to watch the Qixi Festival fireworks event held by the Jinling Prefecture Prefecture.
No one has ever seen what this mysterious firework looks like.
In the afternoon.
Chu Tianxiu, Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er, surrounded by more than a dozen officials from Jinling Prefecture and hundreds of yamen runners, drove his official car across the Sansheng Bridge and came to the crowded Sansheng Tree.
"Husband, what are fireworks?"
Li Yu was very curious.
She kept hearing Chu Tianxiu say that fireworks were beautiful, but she had never seen them before and had never seen them.
My husband has put such a lot of effort into it.
"This fireworks is a beautiful scenery in a peaceful and prosperous era. From now on, the fireworks land is synonymous with a prosperous place. When you look at the fireworks tonight, you will know how beautiful it is."
Chu Tianxiu smiled.
He tried so hard to get out gunpowder, what was he trying to do?
For gunpowder guns, artillery?
Of course not.
Gunpowder guns are good, they are the weapon of killing on the battlefield. Who is full of nothing? He wears a gunpowder gun every day to fight the east and fight to the north, and fight desperately? He is just by the way to invent the gunpowder gun.
He tinkered out gunpowder to make a festive day during the festival. He heard a "crackling" sound, and there were dazzling firecrackers and fireworks everywhere.
On New Year's Day and the Chinese Valentine's Day holiday, he could walk along the Qinhuai River with Li Yu, Zuer and Di'er. He saw the sky full of bright fireworks, leisurely and light.
This is the beautiful and happy life of Xiaohunhou after traveling through time.
For this sound, he threw a hundred thousand taels of silver to study gunpowder, which was worth it!
Otherwise, there would be no lively and festive atmosphere during festivals!
pity!
He invented gunpowder for the prosperity of the world and the prosperity of fireworks.
But there will be no peace in the world soon. Years of war, the artillery fire rumbling... I am afraid I can't stop.
"This Chinese Valentine's Day is the last night of great changes in the world!"
Chu Tianxiu sighed in his heart.
...
Li Nan Lao Shen and Shen Wanbao, with a group of little Taoists, had already transported more than a dozen carriage fireworks and firecrackers, and parked on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
The little Taoist priests were busy, putting huge fireworks on the ground, preparing to set off these fireworks and firecrackers.
These are various fireworks they have worked hard to study after nearly two months.
Even when they conducted firework experiments, they hid in remote mountains and forests, and did not dare to let outsiders see them. This is to ensure that the people of Jinling City could see a huge surprise on this day.
Tonight's fireworks event is a grand promotional event.
As long as they become famous tonight, their fireworks will make a sensation and become a must-have festive item in Jinling City during festivals.
"Old immortal, do you say that it's just to hear the sound of fireworks. Are those people willing to spend this money to buy it?"
Shen Wanbao was uneasy.
In order to develop beautiful fireworks, he invested tens of thousands of taels of silver and almost spent all his private money.
If this fireworks project fails again, he will be embarrassed.
"Hang!"
Old Shenpu Li shook his head, "The people are just looking for food, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea, so how can they have free money to buy this thing?
Only those rich people who are idle and frustrated will spend money to buy useless things...but these fireworks are useless, so they explode in the sky!...and then, there is nothing."
Old God Li is not optimistic at all.
But there is no way out!
The Flying Rocket Project they had previously worked on had failed.
There was no other idea for a while.
Xiao Hunhou said that fireworks can make money by making firecrackers.
They can only do this.
Let’s take a gamble!
If the fireworks cannot be sold tonight, Li naturally can only live a hard life.
...
Chu Tianxiu and Li Yu climbed the misty and rainy boat on the banks of the Qinhuai River.
This luxurious misty and rainy pleasure boat is now anchored near the Sansheng Tree.
This is the main stand.
It is also the place where he, the prefect of Jinling, presided over the fireworks event on the Qixi Festival.
Of course, fireworks are the best at night.
The entire Yanyu Painting Boat has been surrounded by hundreds of yamen runners, and no idle people are allowed to enter.
Only officials of the Jinling Prefecture, as well as the aristocrats, princes, ministers, scholars, playboys from various prefectures, and other distinguished guests can enter this misty and rain pleasure boat.
One after another, many VIPs entered the pleasure boat and occupied a good seat to watch the fireworks event.
...
Many ministers, when they heard that Xiao Hunhou, the governor of Jinling Prefecture, wanted to hold a grand Chinese Valentine's Day event on the banks of the Qinhuai River, they all invited them to join in the fun.
The old Prime Minister Xie Huyong, accompanied by some young children of the Xie family, also came to the Qinhuai River for a walk.
He was quite moved that he had been idle for the past six months and had lost his official position. He also let go of his past grudges.
If you think about it carefully, what Xiao Hunhou has done over the years... doesn't seem that bad either.
Hunhou Paper, "Da Chu Palace News", the imperial examination, steel, gunpowder... The Great Chu Dynasty is booming and getting better day by day.
The people's lives are steady and not worse.
He was seventy or eighty years old and wanted to enjoy his old age, with a lot of children and grandchildren, and he was satisfied to see the world's prosperity with his own eyes.
...
On the banks of the Qinhuai River.
A restaurant was booked in a low-key manner by a group of mysterious people. A group of black-clad soldiers dressed in imperial guards surrounded the inside and outside. Even the shopkeeper and the waiter could not enter.
Emperor Xiang Yanran, Empress Cui, Concubine Yang and other concubines were sitting in the restaurant at this moment.
During this period, the imperial court was quite busy. The emperor just left the palace to take a walk and relax with the queen and concubines. He didn't want to make too much noise, and there were not many followers.
"On the Chinese Valentine's Day, the emperor, the queen, and the imperial concubine have a rare leisure time. They go out of the city to see the grand scenery of Jinling City."
Cai and the eunuchs were serving with a group of small eunuchs.
"I heard that Xiao Hunhou held a fireworks event on the banks of the Qinhuai River. But I don't know what the fireworks are? I heard that this is a very beautiful thing."
Queen Cui smiled.
"Xiao Hunhou often tinkers with some strange things. I heard that the fireworks were the idea of Xiao Hunhou, and the old fairy Li and Shen Wanbao made them together, and they should be something strange.
If it weren't for the extremely beautiful, Xiao Hunhou would never have hosted this fireworks event in person, which has damaged his reputation over the years."
Yang Guifei said.
Xiang Yanran smiled and said, "This firework is said to be made of gunpowder, which is also strange. I have never thought about how this gunpowder is extremely powerful and roaring like thunder. How can it be extremely beautiful?! Let's take a look!"
...
Monk Dahai, holding a Zen stick and wearing a golden cassock, walked hurriedly towards Sansheng Bridge with more than a dozen newly acquired monks and disciples.
"Master, what are we doing?!"
The little monk asked.
"For my teacher, I observe the celestial phenomena, the stars are changing, the Ziwei Emperor Star is shining and dark, and there are major changes in the world. Tonight, Xiaohunhou hosted the Qixi Festival meeting in Qinhuai River, and I am afraid there will be major changes.
The teacher traveled thousands of miles to the East, but has not yet completed the great cause of Buddhism spreading east. The Buddhist son must not have any trouble. The teacher will help the Buddhist son with one arm!”
Monk Dahai's face was serious.
"yes!"
Chapter completed!
