On the first day after the school was built, classes were not held inside the house, but outside the house.

"The first lesson we have to learn is etiquette, this etiquette is too profound, we use the simplest way to talk about this etiquette, people always have to eat, people always have to walk, people need to have a house to live in. Then let's start eating. ”

A Taoist from Datang acted as the teacher for the first class.

Tables freshly made of wood were laid out, some with chopsticks and bowls, others with knives and forks.

"Don't use your hands to grab when eating, this is called chopsticks, which we have been using for thousands of years as a eating tool, this pair of chopsticks and a spoon can solve all food."

"This is called knives and forks, which is the aristocratic tableware specially designed by our Tang people for the Roman emperor and the Roman nobles, ending the habit of the Roman nobles to eat with their hands."

"First of all, wash your hands when eating. Why wash your hands, wash the filth from your hands, and treat the meal you are about to eat with a grateful heart. Meals come from the sky, the earth, and the sea, and we should be grateful for the sky, the earth, and the ocean......"

The Taoist chief couldn't go on with all he could talk about, and the onlookers were a little commotionful.

A big discussion with thousands of people began.

The reason was that an old man asked: "So, chopsticks and knives and forks, which one is the better tool for eating?" ”

Some people say that in order to resist the Roman invasion, they fought with the Romans for more than 500 years, and the Romans only learned to use tools from grasping food by hand, so why not learn to use chopsticks that have been used for thousands of years.

According to the research of Tang historians, Chinese chopsticks should have been in the middle of the Shang Dynasty.

Because some historical records record that the king used chopsticks.

After tossing for most of the day, the knife and fork were taken away, leaving only the chopsticks.

The next substitution is not because of technical problems, but because this Taoist leader is already very tired.

"I am from the Temple of Mercy and Grace in Chang'an, and I used to be a sinner, and my sin was greed. We will talk about the problem of greed later, but what we need to talk about now is to solve the problem of eating, if we want to eat enough and eat well, then we need more food. The earth has given us food, and we should repay the earth. ”

There was a lecture in the school, and people from the Tang Dynasty in the Taoist temple were gathered, and several people led by them were having a meeting.

"I think there's wheat here, and it's a little different from ours, but it's also wheat. The first step should be to build a simple blacksmith workshop, and we will build plows and all kinds of tools to increase the production of food. The gods of the old city of Rome were all deceitful, and nothing could compare to being well fed and clothed. ”

The speaker was a monk, a monk in his thirties.

Chang'an destroyed the Buddha he built the river and road in Jingyang for three years, and then worked in the big farm for another three years, according to the law of the Tang Dynasty, monks and Taoists can marry wives and marry, so he has his own home.

This time he stayed away from Chang'an, just to earn enough points to atone for his sins.

Or if he still works on the big farm, he will need at least five years before he can be free, and if he comes to the Mediterranean, once he has done a meritorious service, the whole family can become a free man, and he can continue to be a monk.

Another one spoke, this one was also wearing monk's clothes, but there was a scar on his face, he used to be a small general of the rebel army at the end of the Sui Dynasty, and then he lived in the temple in order to escape, his sin was even heavier, if he didn't come to the Mediterranean, he was afraid that he would not have to think about becoming a free civilian for the rest of his life.

The monk said, "On the grassland, you can raise sheep and enclose land for farming. I think in a year or two it will be very rich here, and my only concern is, what if someone is red after the abundance? ”

"Fight, we can train a family protection team, the people here are strong, and the farming training can at least reach the combat effectiveness of the second-class guards of the Tang Dynasty. We can do this......

Woodwally was leading people north, and he was going to the Vikings.

Although he was once an enemy of the Vikings, he now prefers to be allies, the Vikings can provide many good sailors, and the Vikings are masters of fishing and excellent warriors.

Wood Gorgeous is working hard to build his hometown in his hometown, and at the same time recruiting excellent soldiers for Willowwood.

And this time in Chang'an City.

The stones that Liu Mu sent back had not yet approached Chang'an City, and they had just arrived at the Bahe River to the east of Chang'an, and they were intercepted by the Praetorian Guards.

Dugu Lanruo, who got the news, rushed to Taiji Palace with her whole family as soon as possible, as well as the aunt of the Liu family who temporarily stayed in Chang'an, the current Wing Princess Liu Ruyan, as well as Xiao Ling'er, Xie Xing'er and others.

"Imperial sister-in-law, why did you send someone to block my ......?"

As soon as she entered the door, Dugu Lanruo hurriedly spoke, but when the two palace maids opened the tent, Dugu Lanruo couldn't say anything no matter what she wanted.

Not only Li Shimin's four concubines are here, but there are more than 30 ladies in Chang'an City, who are sitting here, just saying that they are here to drink tea.

"When Huating changed the canal boat, the news began to spread to Chang'an, and your ship has not passed through Luoyang Chang'an City, and everyone who wants to know the news knows it." The eldest grandson Wujian gave Dugu Lanruo an explanation.

"It's just some ......" Dugu Lan wanted to say that it was a stone, but at this time, she really couldn't open her eyes and say nonsense.

Concubine Yang handed Liu Mu's letter to Dugu Lanruo with a smile on her face: "The horse has sent a letter, do you want to go back to the back room to read the letter first, and then come to drink tea together." ”

Dugu Lanruo didn't avoid anyone, opened the letter and read it quickly.

This letter, even if you show it to Concubine Yang, Concubine Yang may not understand it.

It's all simplified characters, and in the eyes of the Tang people, this kind of character is basically a word that lacks strokes or even scribbles. Dugu Lanruo can understand it, because she has read too much, and she is used to this kind of simplified Chinese characters.

After reading the letter, Dugu Lanruo smiled a few steps and walked to the eldest grandson Wujian and sat down.

"Sister-in-law, it's not that I'm reluctant, but there may not be jade in these stones, and jade may not be good jade. Mu sent these back because the 10,000 elites of Shen Cewei needed to go on the expedition after not being able to survive the year, so these were to subsidize the families of the soldiers who wanted to exchange money for the levy, as well as to pay for some ordnance to the armory. ”

"So, what about the pricing?"

This kind of jade has been cut, the jade master in the palace did not give a price, and the rarity is expensive, this kind of jade is extremely rare, and there is no complete evaluation standard for the time being, so there is no way to price it at all.

A sly smile appeared at the corner of Dugu Lanruo's mouth.

This smile was noticed by the eldest grandson Wuji, but the eldest grandson Wujian remained silent and just sat with a teacup in his hand.

Dugu Lanruo said: "It's better to find a balance like this." Then put stones on one side and silver coins on the other, and the weight will be counted. As for whether it is a stone or an ordinary jade after cutting, or who is really lucky enough to produce a piece of Supreme Emperor Jade, it depends on personal luck. ”
