472 Winter Games
Hong Tao's experiment is very convincing, the chlorine-sterilized water is still the same after three days in the greenhouse, while the ordinary well water is already a little peculiar. After a few more days, the disinfected water will begin to deteriorate, and the ordinary well water will become a microbial paradise, with a layer of membrane floating on it.
With this lesson, Hong Tao did not dare to let the princes easily contact the laboratory for a long time, and the day of coming out was not short, and the ether had been successfully tested, and it was about to reach the winter solstice, which was an important festival, and it was time to go back to Liangzhou City for the festival.
"It's okay to keep it, but it's not too big and it has to be stored separately, preferably outside the city. In addition, don't just mess with bottles and cans here, do you have to go to Suzhou to see your daughter-in-law who has not passed the door. The officer will give you a month's leave, and in a few days a convoy of lime will pass by, follow them, and bring some watermelons and melons. Don't bare your teeth with me, this is an order, you have to go if you don't want to! ”
Before leaving, Hong Tao repeatedly told Gao Yu and Wang Wu to pay attention to safety, and it was good to have the spirit of dedication to science, but there was no need to really realize it. I don't want to see the first generation of chemistry that I have worked so hard to cultivate become dead, and it's not good to be disabled.
As soon as he thought that Gao Yu would be burned beyond recognition by various dangerous chemicals, lacking a nose and eyes, Hong Tao remembered Wang Da who was far away in Suzhou. These two people are a pair of ruthless and unrighteous things, who don't force anyone and don't want anyone. While Gao Yu is not disfigured, it is better to see him once more, and leave a good impression somewhat.
Winter solstice, the eleventh month of the lunar calendar every year, the ancients believed that from this day it will officially enter the cold winter, and after nine hundred and eighty-one days is spring, for which they also made up nine nine songs:
"1929, don't shoot; Three-nine-forty-nine, walk on ice; Five-nine-sixty-nine, look at the willows along the river; Seventy-nine rivers open, eighty-nine geese come; Ninety-nine plus nineteen, ploughing cattle everywhere. ”
With different latitudes, the content of Jiujiu songs in various places is not the same, but the meaning and function are almost the same, and like the solar terms, they are closely related to daily life.
At the same time, the winter solstice is also a big festival for the ancients, and according to the regulations of the Song Dynasty, it is necessary to rest for seven days. However, in Huangzhou and Ganliang Road, the government stipulates that they only have three days off, and the people at most follow the government to take a day off, and many people don't even take a day off and take the initiative to ask for overtime. This is not Hong Tao's use of power to coerce him, let alone lure him with interests, it is really voluntary by the people.
From ancient times to the present, from the middle to the outside, all emerging or fast-growing countries do not pay much attention to food, vacation, and enjoyment. Everyone has various purposes, all trying to create more wealth with hard work, and the people of Huangzhou are the same.
In the past two years, they have finally had the hope of getting rid of poverty and living a good life, and their eagerness can be imagined. What kind of vacation, it's better to work overtime to make money, and when you save enough money to buy a few acres of your own land or open your own small shop, don't seek to be in Huangzhou, Mawei City, Liangzhou City, a little farther away. You have to leave something for future generations, don't be poor and you won't be able to turn over in a few lifetimes.
In fact, even if you rest, you don't have anything to do, Huangzhou is not as many tile cities in Kaifeng City, and there are no bustling commercial streets, so you can't do anything in this winter except nesting in the house.
But this year is different, and the government of each city issued a notice several days in advance, saying that it will hold a winter games, and set up horseback riding, camel riding and archery competitions.
Anyone can sign up to participate, bring their own equipment for the competition, and there are many prizes for the top 10. The first place will get 100 acres of wasteland in Liangzhou City, and if you are willing to keep it, you can keep it, and if you don't want to keep it, you can sell it, and the government doesn't care.
The venue of the competition is located in Liangzhou, which is a little far away from Huangzhou, but the rewards are rich, and people with some ideas can't take care of it immediately. Fortunately, the road from Huangzhou to Liangzhou is not difficult to walk, prepare dry food and horses, and go north to chase your dreams along the post road in groups of three or five.
Slightly affluent families simply moved with their families and treated the game as a holiday outing. Mawei City and Liangzhou City have been included in the Great Song Dynasty for so long, and they should also go and see what they are like, otherwise they will be embarrassed to say that they are from Huangzhou when they encounter foreign merchants in the future.
Now Liangzhou City is lively, and contestants from the south and west arrive every day. However, there is one thing, the contestants and their families are not allowed to live in the city, and are only allowed to live in tent areas specially opened up outside the city. The new army has already set up all the military tents, one for the family with a family, and one for the three people without a family.
"My lord's method is clever, but it costs too much. From then on, there are more than 100 miles to the water swamp, and there are many new troops to be stationed along the way, so it is better for the government to come forward to recruit soldiers, and there are not a few people who want to follow with the credibility of adults. ”
On the wall stood two men, both dressed like bears. The black bear is Hong Tao, and the white bear is Sidi. She finally had her own light fur, all sewn from snow fox skin.
It's a little worse than Fuji's sable fur, but it's not bad, and it's not easy to find more than a dozen snow foxes with neat coats and no variegation, even in the Northlands.
Of course, she certainly doesn't have this ability herself, and such precious furs are generally not sold in Liangzhou or Huangzhou, and they can't be sold at all, and they are usually taken away at a high price by mainland merchants who specialize in purchasing furs.
This fur coat was given to her by Hong Tao, and since receiving Fu Ji's teachings, Sidi looked for an opportunity to be alone with Hong Tao, and finally took advantage of a snowstorm to get into Hong Tao's tent during a hunting trip.
The two men engaged in a heated physical debate about their understanding of sexuality, and it was unclear who would win or lose, but Sidi put on the fur coat that he had been coveting all along, and officially took over part of the clerk's work. Before, she only had a false title, except for chatting with Hong Tao when she had nothing to do, she couldn't touch any official documents.
I have been in contact with more official documents, which is very helpful for Sidi to understand the culture and politics of Huangzhou and the Great Song Dynasty, and at the same time, she also likes to mix with government affairs more and more, and she has to say two words of her own opinion on everything.
Hong Tao saw this change in her eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he didn't say a word of opposition or worry about it. When Sidi knows the sense of proportion, can not ask what should not be asked, do not say what should not be said, only need to pay attention, at that time, it shows that Sidi really understands and grasps the essence of Han culture.
"This official doesn't have so many new troops to garrison along the way, just remember the names and addresses of the contestants, and there is no cost." The competition is just a façade, and the real purpose is to recruit soldiers.
With Suzhou also falling into his own hands, the five thousand new troops stationed in three big cities four or five hundred miles apart were a little stretched. The time for the development of the reserve force is a bit short, less than 1,000 people, and it is not much use to turn all of them into regular forces, and if you want to expand the army, you must find another way.
This matter has long been on the agenda, and the official official document of the emperor and the general staff has also come down, allowing the expansion of the new army to 8,000, but where can the remaining 2,000 people go?
Prisoners of war are a good choice, most of them are young and middle-aged, and they have actual combat experience, so they can be put to use with a little training.
However, this suggestion was rejected by Hong Tao on the grounds that the new army must be composed of locals from Huangzhou City and Ganliang Road, and those who are not here have no need to defend their homeland, so naturally they will not devote themselves to it.
The truth makes sense, but the reality is tricky. The locals alone rejected the forbidden army and most of the box service, and it was not very easy to recruit soldiers from the people.
At present, every family is playing with their lives to improve their lives, and the income from farming, grazing, and working in workshops is not low.
Even if someone is willing to come, how to ensure the quality of the source of soldiers is another problem. Didn't the ancients have a saying that a good man should not be a soldier, even if the new army in Huangzhou is treated well, it is invincible and not too discriminated against by the people, but it does not reach the level of competing to join.
At this time, it depends on Hong Tao's foolish Dafa, whether you want to come and do work, although the treatment of the new army is similar to that of the senior workers in the workshop, but there is still tax-free land as a temptation, so you don't have to worry about no one applying.
As for how to identify the quality of the soldiers, it is also simple, and a sports meeting will be held. Those who dare to sign up must have a few brushes and are bold, horseback riding, archery are basic military skills, don't be afraid that you don't come, we have a big prize!
