Duan Ye suddenly became alert and said, "What are you going to do?" ”

"Don't be so nervous." Xie Ling said, "Isn't what I said clear enough?" I'm from Jiankang, you must know that the imperial court is the real Zhengshuo! Liangzhou is naturally also the feudal territory of the imperial court, although it fell for some reason many years ago, but when the Zhang family ruled, it was also Fengjiankang as Zhengshuo. Now the imperial court can also seal the history of Liangzhou for you. “

Duan Ye frowned, looked at Xie Ling, and then said, "Really? “

"Of course it's true, otherwise I'd be here for something." Xie Lingdao.

"I thought you came to see me." Duan Ye Dao.

"You ......" Xie Ling was suddenly a little embarrassed, after all, she was still a girl, and her face was a little tender. It's just that the girl is shy, but she is always the most beautiful.

But after all, this is not his own woman, even if he flirts, he has to be moderate, and Duan Ye doesn't want to provoke anything for the time being, so he pressed it.

"Alright, alright." Duan Ye said, "No kidding. Isn't it a little late for you to come now? ”

"It's a little late, but it's not too late." Xie Ling said, "This kind of thing, as you said, is a transaction, since it is a transaction, whether it can be traded or not, you have to see the price." ”

"It's not all about price, it's also about morality." Duan Ye said slowly.

"Is the price high enough?"

"How tall can it be? Taller than the sky? Duan Ye smiled.

"That can't be."

"What else can you do but give me a title?" Duan Ye shrugged, "Yin Xin, Jie Yue, I also know the use of these things, and you know it too." ”

Xie Ling was silent.

"Also, you know, around me, there are mostly Hu people, and if the Jin Kingdom gives me a title, it won't be a good thing for me, after all, you are far away in Jiangnan, but they are close at hand."

"I see." Xie Ling sighed, "It seems that the rumors are true. “

"It's not true, it's important, but it's not important." Duan Ye said.

"What do you say?"

"Look what you think of me." Duan Ye said, "When I was a friend, it was just a trivial matter. “

"Yes, it's all trivial!" Xie Ling nodded, "Eat, the food will be cold." “

So in the following time, the two didn't talk about business at all, but they were completely Kan Dashan in the north and south of the world, talking about humanities, history, and women, and the two were like old friends who hadn't seen each other for a long time.

"When are you going to get married?" Xie Ling asked suddenly.

"Alas, what's the hurry!" Duan Ye waved his hand.

"There are too many women around you." Xie Ling said faintly.

Duan Ye didn't answer, but kept sniffing.

"What are you doing!" Xie Ling said dissatisfied.

"What do I think, the vinegar jar is overturned!"

"I hate you!" Xie Ling did not give up on Duan Ye.

At this moment, where do the two of them look like people representing different forces? Is it just two teenagers fighting?

It wasn't until he was full of wine and food that Duan Ye said goodbye. And Xie Ling didn't stay long, just silently watched Duan Ye's figure disappear.

"Miss......"

"I have my own opinions." Xie Ling waved his hand and motioned to the people around him to stop talking.

……

Back at the pavilion, it was clear that everyone was concerned about what had been discussed.

So, Duan Ye said it roughly, and the result was not unexpected, and everyone was very shocked.

Cui Hao immediately asked nervously, "My lord, did you promise her?" “

"Of course not!" Duan Ye said, "Actually, later, we didn't even talk about this issue at all. “

"That's interesting." Cui Hao paced a few steps with his hands behind his back and said, "My lord, although I also think that they are not likely to offer too good conditions, but it is always different for multiple people to raise the price." “

"Don't worry about that." Duan Ye said, "Wei Bin, that old fox, must have known that Xie Ling was coming, such a thing can't be hidden, if they are smart, they will take the initiative to raise the price." “

"That's just as well." Cui Hao nodded.

"Then again." Duan Ye said, "Actually, it's not that I have to do it for the Di people. Mainly, Xie Ling obviously came on behalf of other people, what kind of edict, that eighty percent was thought by the people in the imperial court, I agreed, and I just gloved the white wolf, anyway, it's a good thing. I don't agree, that's okay to say, in a few days Jiangnan will spread what I recognize as a thief as a father and don't know how to lift or something like that, I will suffer and they will all earn, where is there such a good thing? ”

"Your Excellency is wise!" Cui Hao nodded, "Despite this, Xiao Ke still thinks that at this time, if possible, he can take advantage of the fire." ”

"I'm not afraid of hot hands, it depends on whether it's chestnuts or something." Duan Ye said with a smile.

Everyone discussed the details again before they went back.

This night is the night before the inevitable event, and everyone hopes that this night will be peaceful.

It's just that if you want to be calm, you are doomed not to be calm.

First of all, there is fire.

In fact, fire prevention is a major problem in any era. Especially in this era, most of the buildings are made of wood, and they are all on point, how to prevent fires, how to extinguish fires, is a huge test.

A thousand years ago, in fact, there were records of fire regulations in the classics. In the Spring and Autumn period, firewood was used as a torch for night lighting to prevent fires. In the "Book of Rites: Shaoyi", it is stipulated that when the ceremony is held, the person who lights the torch should hold the torch with his left hand and hold the unlit firewood in his right hand, because the dry firewood is easy to burn, and there must be spare firewood to continue the fire at any time; Also prepare a large bowl to catch the ashes at any time, so that the spark does not fall to the ground. The person carrying the torch must sit in the corner of the house, "not to let go, not to quit, not to sing" (not to greet others, not to speak, not to sing), so that he can concentrate on his duties and not be distracted.

These regulations actually explain a lot of details, such as the fact that at that time, people always lived in quiet with their left hand and moved with their right hand. Holding the torch in your left hand reduces the risk of open flames. Hold the bowl in your right hand and catch the ashes at any time to prevent the residual fire from falling to the ground and splashing it. The fire-bearer is required to sit in the corner of the house because the corner of the house is not a center for people's activities. These strict regulations indicate that the main thing is to prevent fires.

In addition, everyone knows that in the middle of the night, always shouting "the sky is dry, be careful of the fire candle", according to the "Zhou Li" record, in mid-spring February, the day when the Mars in the sky is about to appear, the officials in charge of the fire in the palace want to knock on the wooden duo to walk around in the palace, in order to do a good job in the propaganda work of fire prevention, which is the origin of the fire candle in our country. And since that time, the people have been shouting for a long time. Every winter, when it is almost dusk, there will be bursts of shouts on the street, "the cold winter wax moon, the fire candle is careful, the water tank is full, and the stove warehouse is clear". At this time, people will go to see if there is any fire at the door of the stove and clean the firewood and grass. And because when timekeeping, people divide the day and night into several hours, and divide the night into five watches, and save a special person to report the fire candle according to the hour, and send out the signal by striking the bamboo ringer.

Of course, in this Chang'an City, there is less water, and fire prevention is a major event, Fu Hong often has to personally ask, and now in the city, there is "fire" written upside down everywhere. Whether it is a palace or a treasury, folk workshops or warehouses, kitchens, walls and pillars are pasted with a note of "be careful with fire candles" to warn people to use fire safely. But most of the word "fire" on the note is written backwards. Fire is the most taboo thing for people, no one wants the fire to "arrive", so why do you need to write it upside down, in fact, this purpose is because people see the word "fire" written upside down, they will arouse curiosity, and even talk about it. The purpose of writing a slogan is to get people to pay attention.

Not only that, Fu Hong also personally formulated a very harsh law to severely punish those who set fires, once they caused a fire, they would be imprisoned for two years, even if it was a small fire, as long as it was seen, it was not negotiable.

And if in the mountains, rivers and grasslands, etc., cause everyone, because of the effect of burning the mountains and forests, the responsibility will be even heavier, but they will be exiled for 2,000 miles.

Others, such as burning a fire in a storehouse and storehouse, are punishable by one year, and even if the consequences are not serious, at least fifty lashes. In short, there are many rules, and the regulations can be said to be very detailed.

It was getting dark, and smoke was rising all over the city, and it was time to cook, and it was fragrant everywhere.

At this time, it was also a time when there was a great possibility of fire, so naturally, some people walked the streets and shouted, "The weather is dry, be careful of the candles." “

In fact, many people used to feel very annoying when shouting back and forth like this.

But His Majesty's law is true, and many people have already suffered, and now no one dares to turn a deaf ear. Exiled for 2,000 miles, this is not as easy as it sounds.

The watchman has been here for a long time, especially after this block has become a pavilion. Because after the defeat three years ago, there are no people in this pavilion, and it can be said that the grass is three feet high.

Since there is no one, of course, there is no possibility of catching fire, so the husband is willing to relax.

It's just recently, I heard that Lord Duan from Liangzhou came in, and the husband had no choice but to continue to do his duty. Anyway, after two more years, he will retire.

"It's dry, watch out for the candles." The husband still shouted helplessly.

Duan Ye stood on the windowsill with his arms crossed, watching the husband knock on the board and walk slowly, and said, "Ying'er, look, that's the life of ordinary people!" ”

Ying'er stood beside Duan Ye with a somewhat lonely expression.

Duan Ye still said to himself, "These people don't have lofty ideals, they don't have any skills, and the things they do don't seem to be a big deal, but they don't do these things, someone has to do them!" They don't have any money at all, and they don't have the status to be looked down upon, but they are the mainstream of this world! Think about it, what a wonderful thing it would be if these people could have enough to eat and warm clothes! “
