In the Ministry of rites, the undercurrent surged, and in Chang''an City, the wind and cloud surged.
Although the parade ended, its influence continued to ferment. After the people''s parade ended, countless people gathered together to talk about the grand occasion of the parade. They still remember the passionate figure of the majestic soldiers!
"Watching this parade, I have no regrets in my life!" sighed countless people.
Many scholars, full of passion, wanted to write a poem, but found it difficult to describe the grand occasion even if they were rich and poor; It is difficult for famous painters to draw a corner of it.
Among the people''s word of mouth, all kinds of wonderful links of the parade were presented to the world one by one. Some people who failed to watch the parade all regretted and regretted that they missed the grand event. I''m afraid it was the greatest regret in their life.
"At that time, we passed by the rosefinch gate, shouting that everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world! Your Majesty was at the rosefinch gate and watched us with his own eyes." countless people participating in the parade showed off to others with relish.
"Everyone is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. Although we have a cloth, we should also contribute to the world!"
The people are proud to say that in this way, they can live up to their slogans and promises under the rosefinch door.
"No, if we also go to the Red Cross to donate money! Do our part for the rise and fall of the world!" a man in Tsing Yi suggested.
Immediately, there are countless responders, and the personal strength of ordinary people is naturally weak. However, if personal money is accumulated bit by bit and the Red Cross is used to benefit the country and the people, I believe I can certainly make my own contribution.
Moreover, the Red Cross Society is presided over by Princess Changle and empress changsun, and its reputation can naturally be guaranteed. In addition, in several disasters of the Tang Dynasty, the Red Cross Society has contributed a lot and played an important role. Moreover, it has regularly disclosed its financial affairs every month, which naturally won the trust of everyone.
For a while, there were countless people who went to the Red Cross to donate money. Those who had money and things. Many people signed up as volunteers of the Red Cross and contributed as much as possible.
Only that afternoon, the Red Cross Society in Chang''an City alone received more than 10000 donations! This is a wonderful figure. I believe that with the continuous radiation of the influence of the parade, the donations of the people of Datang to the Red Cross will reach a higher record.
"Thanks to you this time!" Princess Changle said happily in the fish champion building. When she learned the number of donations and the number of new volunteers, she couldn''t help looking at Merton gratefully. If Merton hadn''t made the parade so successful, the Red Cross would not have ushered in an explosive growth.
"My brother-in-law is so powerful!" Princess Jinyang said excitedly.
"Where! Changle did a good job in running the Red Cross Society and won the trust of the people!" Merton said modestly. Since Li Shimin''s marriage, Merton and Princess Changle can finally walk in Chang''an city.
After the parade, they rarely have free time. Merton naturally won''t miss this God given opportunity to think of a private gathering between them.
Things went well. Princess Changle successfully left the palace, but she was accompanied by Princess Jinyang. They had a good date. It was a terrible sight to have an oil bottle.
Princess Changle said proudly, "that''s nature. Last time in Shandong flood, I donated countless money and materials to the Red Cross Society, which has an excellent reputation among the people."
Merton warned: "however, to make financial disclosure, every donation must have the final destination. Otherwise, if there is a problem, not only an organization that benefits the country and the people will be damaged, but also the Royal reputation will be affected."
He knew that the Red Cross Society of later generations was so opaque that it had many problems and lost its credibility that it had been nearly ten years since Merton was reborn.
"What Mo said in offering wine!" before Princess Changle answered, with a familiar voice, Li Chengqian pushed the door in and followed Li Zhi and Li Tai behind him.
"The Red Cross Society has many advantages, but it is also a double-edged sword. Although it can benefit the royal family, a bad one can also damage the Royal reputation," Li Chengqian said.
Princess Changle nodded and said, "don''t worry, elder brother. Changle will keep a good pass and won''t do anything that will damage the Royal reputation."
Princess Changle is determined to emulate Princess Pingyang. Naturally, she will not easily give up the Red Cross, an organization that benefits the country and the people.
Merton asked the three to take their seats. He was helpless. He originally wanted to have a secret meeting with Princess Changle, but it turned into an open party. Princess Jinyang stuck to Changle. Li Chengqian and Li Tai consciously separated Merton, making it difficult for Merton and Changle to say a word.
Li Chengqian was cold in his heart. The last time Merton went to the palace and stayed alone with Changle for a long time, he had long been dissatisfied. In addition, the last time Merton called him brother-in-law''s revenge, how could he easily let Merton go.
"Come on! Serve!" Merton had no choice but to greet the people.
At the moment, the weather has gradually turned cold, and hot pot is popular in Chang''an city again. With plates of fresh beef and vegetables served, people can''t help but move their fingers.
"Come on, try this spinach!" Merton picked up a spinach and put it into the steaming pot.
After a year of breeding, although the quantity of spinach is still small, it is no longer as urgent as last year, otherwise this large dish of green vegetables will surely kill Su Lingnong.
"Brother in law, I want beef!" Li Zhi said.
Changle pinched Li Zhi''s fat face and said, "eat again like your brother Qingque."
Li Tai immediately smiled bitterly. There were still some taboos about his figure, but for Changle, he often made fun of him!
Merton advised: "it''s nothing to eat beef. As long as you exercise frequently, you will be better. The strong health of herdsmen on the grassland has a great relationship with their eating more meat!"
"Yes!" Li Zhi retorted with a raised face.
Princess Changle said helplessly, "you can eat, but you can''t eat more!"
"Thank you, sister Changle!" Li Zhi said sweetly.
Plates of beef and mutton were put into the pot and everyone ate them. Since Tuyuhun in the western expedition, a large number of cattle and sheep have suddenly increased in Datang. The ban on cattle slaughter in Datang has almost existed in name only. Beef is no longer a strange thing in Chang''an city.
"It''s said that brother Mo has witnessed the vicissitudes of life in Qinghai. I''m writing the local chronicles under the order of my father. I don''t know if I can give up some!" Li Tai suddenly came over and said.
"Vicissitudes of the sea?" Li Chengqian also put down his chopsticks with great interest.
Merton looked at Li Tai and Li Chengqian and asked them to take their seats! At this time, empress Chang sun was still alive. The competition between the two was not obvious. They were close brothers and had a good relationship. There was no sign of the dragon and tiger struggle in history.
Merton explained, "it''s just some shells. If King Wei likes it, just pick it up!"
Merton naturally knew that what Li Tai was talking about was the paleontological shells he collected from the shell beam when he returned from the western expedition. There are many places in Qinghai. Naturally, it is not so precious!
"So, in the vast desert, there was a vast ocean a few years ago!" Li Zhi was shocked when he learned.
Li Tai on one side also flashed. If he opened his mouth to ask for the shells, I''m afraid Murong Shun would send them. One of the reasons he asked Merton personally was that he wanted to ask Merton about it.
Merton nodded naturally and said, "of course, otherwise, how did those shells come from?"
Everyone smacked their tongue. No one thought that the sea had turned into today''s desert. They have always heard of the vicissitudes of the sea, but they never thought they could prove it in person.
"Brother Mo, can you tell me the truth in detail!" asked Li Tai. If he could understand the truth of the vicissitudes of life, his "including local chronicles" would have qualitative changes. Once it is completed, the natural value will be doubled.
Merton nodded, pointed to the hot pot basin in front of him and said, "suppose this hot pot basin is the shell beam several years ago, and the vegetables and meat in it are water, grass and fish in the water. If we don''t add water to it, I believe these hot pot basins will be burned dry soon."
Li Tai''s mind flashed, but he couldn''t catch it. He couldn''t help scratching his ears and cheeks.
"Without water, a large number of fish and shells died, and some low-lying places became salt lakes. I don''t believe you can taste it. Is today''s hot pot soup particularly salty!" Merton pointed to the bottom of the pot with only a little soup left.
Li Tai picked up his chopsticks and tasted a green vegetable. His mouth was dry with salt, but his heart suddenly became bright. He was shocked and said: "you mean that the desert of the whole Qinghai is the lake and sea, and the desert was also the lake and sea, and now the salt lake is the only trace of the lake and sea."
Merton looked at Li Tai with appreciation and nodded: "good!"
"But where has so much water gone?" asked Princess Jinyang.
Merton didn''t answer. Instead, he asked, "where is the water in our washed clothes? Where is the full water in our hot pot?"
"You mean the white smoke from the boiling water is water?" Li Tai came to an incredible conclusion, which he couldn''t believe himself.
Li Chengqian and others immediately looked at each other. The water could be smoke.
"This is the evaporation studied by Mohists. Water has three forms: solid, liquid and gas. An ice block will slowly melt into water when the weather gets warmer, and turn into steam when it boils with heat," Merton explained.
Merton explained very clearly, but everyone was as confused as water vapor.
"What if the hot steam meets cold things?" Merton smiled mysteriously, reached out and picked up the cold iron tray and put it on the boiling hot pot. Soon, all the beads of water were attached to the cold iron plate. Merton tilted slightly, and suddenly a series of beads of water fell like rain.
"Rain!" Li Tai suddenly got up and looked at the scene in front of him.
One side of the Jinyang princess heard the speech, naive ran out of the window, looked at the bright sunshine outside, and said, "brother Qingque, there is no rain outside! The sun is fine!"
Li Tai suddenly didn''t hear it. He didn''t expect that there would be an unexpected harvest today. He even cracked the formation of rain.
"Congratulations to the fourth younger brother. I found that the local chronicles is enough to pass down the history!" Li Chengqian gradually understood the truth and couldn''t help congratulating Li Tai.
Li Tai is also beaming with joy. No one thought that the formation of rain would be so simple. This is a great discovery! Enough to subvert the world''s understanding of rain.
Before that, the world believed that the rain was controlled by the Dragon King. Every drought season, they would worship the Dragon King and pray for rain. During the drought last year, Li Shimin personally beheaded the Dragon King in order to get rid of feudal superstition. Now, people have cracked the formation of rain. Isn''t that really confirmed the correctness of Li Shimin''s beheading the Dragon King.
"I don''t dare to take the whole skill, thanks for my brother-in-law''s advice!" Li Tai got up and solemnly said, and directly changed his title!
"Li Tai!" Princess Changle was ashamed and angry, but her face was proud.
Merton said with a wry smile, "this is the essence of my Mohist wine making secret skill. I don''t say it. I believe that with the wisdom of the king of Wei, it won''t be long before it can be solved."
"The secret of wine making!" Li Chengqian looked at the dripping water and suddenly realized that the famous wine for relieving thousands of worries was refined in this way.
When they heard Li Chengqian''s explanation, they understood the truth. They couldn''t help looking at Merton with strange eyes.
"Could it be that the secret technique of brewing wine is also the secret technique of Mozi!" Li Zhi asked excitedly. No one is not curious about the endless secret skills written by Mozi.
Merton shook his head and said, "of course not. If everything depended on Mozi''s secret, it would have been empty. In fact, the inspiration of brewing secret skills came from the oil pot I had exposed before."
"Wash your hands in oil pan?" people thought for a long time before they remembered this thing, which was also a matter of breaking down feudal superstition at that time.
"The truth of washing hands in an oil pan is that the vinegar in the oil pan first boils and evaporates, and finally only oil is left. At that time, I had a whim to distill the liquor in this way. If the final steam is water, then the rest is wine. If the steam is wine, just collect it, it will naturally be a very pure wine." Merton explained.
People suddenly understood the causes and consequences, from washing hands in oil pots to brewing secrets, and then to solving the secret of rain. It was really wonderful.
"By analogy, draw inferences from one instance!" Li Tai couldn''t help thinking.
"My brother-in-law is so powerful!" Princess Jinyang and Li Zhi couldn''t help cheering.
Princess Changle couldn''t help showing her worship and asked Li Chengqian to hum.
After the meal, Li Tai, who was like a treasure, hurried away. Merton took Princess Changle to the west market.
Numerous envoys came to the Tang Dynasty for the military parade, and countless Hu merchants accompanied them. The western market is particularly prosperous. In addition, the people came to Chang''an city to watch the military parade. These are people of high value. Naturally, they will not miss the opportunity to search for foreign specialties.
