The ancients respected the ceremony, and the ceremony was divided into many kinds, and the sacrifice was a kind of ceremony.

There are also quite a few different levels of sacrifice, and there are two major columns, which are divided into private sacrifices and state sacrifices. Private sacrifices are generally made on the earth and human ghosts, and only the state is qualified enough to perform sacrifices at the level of heaven.

Why can't private people sacrifice to the heavens? Because from the beginning of the Xia generation, the ruler is the Son of Heaven, that is, the Son of God.

Even the sacrifices to the earth, people, and ghosts are divided into identities and levels, and people who are not of a certain status level cannot carry out sacrifices of what scale, and the objects of what level are also classified into sacrificial items, which can be seen how strict the class positioning was in ancient times.

Yiling is a martyr's garden, and they are all positioned as people who have enough contributions to be buried, and if they are according to the "rank", they can be called ghost heroes. What does Oni Male refer to? Generally, it refers to the soldiers who died on the battlefield, that is, the soldiers who died in battle. So what kind of level was the sacrifice of the ghost male in the ancients? In the pre-Qin era of ancient times, there were more than one sacrifice of kings to commemorate soldiers who died in battle, so sacrificing soldiers who died in battle belonged to the level of public sacrifice.

Lu Zhe did not come to Yiling this time specifically for sacrifice, but a kind of "passing" visit before going on patrol, and the level was to take the scale of simulating the two, which could not be regarded as a scale of public sacrifice.

There is a stele about six meters upright next to the road that enters the boundary of Yiling, and there is an inscription on it that reads "Martyr's Garden", and the name of Lu Zhe is the name.

The font on the stele is regular script, and the calligraphy is not very good-looking, but it has a vigorous pen power. In fact, no matter whether the font is good or not, the person who signed the money is Lu Zhe, and there will always be countless people who will comment on the good side of the font. Who made the payoff the money the founding emperor of the empire, didn't he?

Next to the monument stood another sign. In the book, "get off the horse and get off the car", which means that those who ride horses quickly get down when they get here, and those who ride the cars also walk honestly. Of course, there will be such a rule to show respect for the undead, so from here on foot it has always been walking.

Standing at the junction of Yiling and Nanling roads, looking up to the west, there are only a few things that can be seen due to the terrain. However, if you have a sharp eye, you can definitely see the towering stele, and if you have good eyesight, you can also see the words on the stele, which is written with the words "The unknown martyr who opened up the living space for the nation is immortal", and there is no name on it.

The Monument to the Unknown Soldier has a total height of 48 meters, and is made of a lot of stones, and the form shows the appearance of a giant sword. The inscription on it is not from Lu Zhe's handwriting this time, but the handwriting of Li Si, the former Qin State Lieutenant.

Li Si is also the court lieutenant of the empire now, and he can be regarded as doing his old job. He himself had a profound study of the law and was one of the great calligraphers of his time.

The reason why the Monument to the Unknown Soldier is Li Si's calligraphy. It was after a strict selection that he finally got such an honor, but it was not from anyone's name.

Li Si did not follow Lu Zhe on patrol this time, he stayed in the empire to perform his duties, but his eldest son Li You was in the patrol team.

Li You was a lieutenant of the forbidden army, and he couldn't take his eyes off the towering Monument to the Unknown Soldier in the distance at this moment, and he was a little stunned.

The area covered by the Martyrs' Garden is very large, and the entire Yiling Tomb is actually included. It's just that not every place has a cemetery for soldiers, and the cemetery is planned on the side of various mountains or mountains. Some of the areas on the flat ground are used as museum-like museums, while others are specifically planned for ceremonies.

Because it was impossible to ride horses and cars, everyone was on foot, except for the soldiers of the forbidden army who needed to be on guard, not all the forbidden troops drove into Yiling, only the royal family, civil and military officials and family members who followed the patrol did not stop outside.

There is also a local garrison in the Martyrs' Garden. For a long time, a force of three thousand people was stationed. This unit is a little different from other troops, most of them are disabled soldiers on the battlefield, do not leave the army to accept some official work arrangements, and apply to come to the martyr's garden for various reasons to continue to serve.

On the way into Yiling, Lu Zhe could see the local garrison, some of them with hideous scars on their faces. Some of them don't look like they're missing arms or legs, but they're wearing prosthetic limbs.

The garrison of the Martyrs' Garden is doing some maintenance and cleaning work in normal times, and now you can see a lot of figures halfway up the mountain. What are those people doing? They're either sweeping the streets, they're tidying up the cemetery, and they're not doing anything to the people sitting at the tombstones.

After more than ten years of starting the army, there have been countless large and small wars, as long as there is a war, there will inevitably be sacrifices, and everyone will more or less have some understanding of the war to die in a certain war. Most of the people sitting at the tombstone were talking to their old comrades, and some retired soldiers would do the same thing when they came over.

"Your Majesty, according to your orders, the garden is not closed on purpose today, and the number of people who came to the garden is recorded, which is four thousand and twenty-eight. Most of them now go to the other side of the square, you see? Lu Sheng asked.

In fact, there are really a lot of people who come to the Martyrs' Garden every day to worship, after all, the Yiling Martyrs' Garden itself is not closed, and so many soldiers are buried, so how many family members should there be? In addition, the traffic of the empire is getting smoother and smoother year by year, and in recent years, there have been official regular shuttles, and there are buses with fixed routes that will lead to the Nanling Martyrs Park.

Bus? It's a shuttle, but it's a vehicle pulled by a horse. It was a long car pulled by eight horses, with a length of eight meters and a width of three meters, not counting the driver who could seat twenty-four people, and it was an "animal-powered version of the shuttle" made by Lu Zhe.

The first place to use the animal-powered version of the shuttle bus is in Nanling City, which is considering that the area of Nanling is very large, and people may not be able to walk around Nanling for a day.

The imperial army captured a large number of horses on the grassland, some horses were trained to be used as war horses, and some horses were not suitable for use as war horses.

The appearance of the shuttle bus caused a sensation for a while, because it was so convenient and very popular, and the paid ride was also very profitable, and some people in the people also thought about it, and they proposed to the official to do such a thing somewhere.

Private transport? In fact, this kind of thing has been done before, but they are transporting goods. It is really no one who has ever done it to develop the transportation of people into an industry. With the official opening a precedent in Nanling, this can be regarded as opening up more people.

The civilian clique considered that it could increase tax revenue for the convenience of the people, and the military clique saw that the spoils of war could be sold at a good price, and the two sides worked together to promote it, and such a thing was decided.

"Actually, you can build an animal-powered rail car,......" Lu Qi whispered to his younger brother Lu Yi: "Prospect the terrain, and then assume that the wooden rail will build a rail road." The wheels are modified to fit the track, and the speed is also very fast. ”

Lu Yi blinked his eyes and nodded: "It's really possible!" ”

There is nothing wrong with it, in fact, the modern train track is really from the basis of the animal-powered rail car, the first track to let the horse-drawn carriage travel appeared in England, they used actual data to confirm the feasibility of the animal-powered track channel, or until the steam engine was invented and the steam car was invented, the track became a machine.

"You can make this point to your father." Lu Yi instigated.

Lu Qi's "idea" did not come from any Englishman, and the era he traveled through was a history that had been changed. In his version of history, there is no Britain, it is the empire that dominates the world island. But he had forgotten what the animal-powered railcar had been and who had invented it first.

There is an unknown oolong here, and in fact the person who invented the animal-powered rail car is none other than Lu Yi, who became emperor decades later. At that time, in order to be able to dispatch troops to distant places more effectively, Lu Yi made animal-powered rail cars to increase the transportation capacity and speed, and in order to build a track from the east to the west, he also sent troops to capture aliens everywhere, and once captured all the wild people on the islands of the Pacific Ocean. The Empire's slave catchers even crossed the ocean to Africa to capture blacks.

Of course, Lu Yi didn't know that his "idea" had been plagiarized. He watched with joy as his brother took another step forward in the footsteps of the Great Scientist.

Lu Qi really shows a lot of interest in scientific research, and his usual hobby is to study some strange things. The gesture he showed was very obvious, telling his younger brother that he would not peep into the throne with his actions, and more than once personally told Lu Yi that his greatest wish was to become an inventor or something.

"Hmm, what?" Lu Zhe was discussing with Lu Sheng about the small sacrifice that he would wait for, and was stunned for a moment after listening to Lu Qi's words. After a while. He "Haha! laughed, touched Lu Qi's little head, and said, "It's worthy of being my son, the little head is different." ”

Lu Qi, who was shy, just smiled, he really didn't dare to compete with Lu Yi for the throne. For this father who is obviously a traverser, it is also more restrictive. He was still worried about whether the idea of proposing an animal-powered rail car would be doubted, and he was relieved to hear his father's praise.

Did Lu Zhe really not notice anything? He must have sensed something, but no matter what, his son is his own blood and blood, and some things are too much to investigate is to find himself unhappy, and he can be confused and confused so that he will not cause unnecessary turmoil.

"When your father returns, you give your father the plan you wrote." Lu Zhe's face was full of joy, and as he spoke, he looked at his other son Lu Yi who was not far away, turned his eyes to Lu Qi and continued: "Don't run around now, take care of your younger brothers and sisters more when you sacrifice later."

Lu Qi lowered his head and responded: "No! ”

Why was Lu Zhe stunned just now? That's because he felt that his thinking was a little more rigid. He also knew that there was such a thing as an animal-powered rail car in history, but he only left the impression of a train in his mind, so that he did not think of the application of a horse-drawn rail car, and after being reminded by his son, he immediately became interested.

Are animal-powered railcars really viable? There is no doubt that it is feasible, not only feasible but also directly changes the mode of transportation, but it is far more difficult to actually do it than to build a flat road.

"Why did Your Majesty suddenly laugh?" Yang Zi asked Wei Wen, after all, what she saw was Lu Zhe touching Lu Qi's head and laughing.

This time not only did the queen Zhao Wan follow, but many concubines in the harem were also among the teams that followed the patrol. They are also walking on foot now, Queen Zhao Wan is walking in the front, and Yang Zi, Wei Wen, Xiongnu, Lu Pheasant and other concubines are slowly following Queen Zhao Wan not far behind.

"My sister is far away and doesn't listen carefully." Wei Wen called herself a sister to everyone, she shook her head, and the steps in her hair also swayed: "It's time for Qi'er to say something that makes Your Majesty happy." ”

Yang Zi looked at his son Lu Shao not far away, and sighed: "Shao'er is too quiet, a little bit like a boy." ”

Lu Shao is Lu Zhe's second son, who is six years old this year. The other children were relatively active, and there were not a few who were bouncing around, only he kept his head down all the way and did not play with his siblings.

"Shao'er can already memorize many poems, and His Majesty is full of praise." What can Wei Wen say, she can only say it with a good one.

"Wen Jing is good, look at Ying'er," Zhao Xin also joined the conversation, pointing to Lu Ying, who was bullying her younger brothers and sisters over there, and said a little depressed and helpless: "It's not like a girl." ”

I don't know why, Lu Ying was chasing Lu Yang and Lu Ting, and when she caught up with Lu Ting, who was running slowly, she knocked her small fist and directly beat Lu Ting to tears, and Lu Yang, who was running in front, laughed and laughed.

As soon as Lu Ting cried, Han Yan immediately became anxious, she ran over and picked up the child with small steps, and asked the people next to her what the reason was.

Han Yan is Han Cheng's son, and of course Han Cheng is Han Wangcheng. Lu Ting is Lu Zhe's fourth daughter, born by Han Yan. Han Yan's current identity is one of the four concubines, and her status is not low, if she is a positive product according to the nine-grade system.

The imperial system is a combination of the three princes and nine secretaries system and the nine products of the positive system, such as Lu Zhe's harem is divided into queens, there are four concubines below the queen, under the four concubines is the lady, and the lady is the concubine below, and below the concubine there are Zhaoyi, Zhaoyuan, Zhaorong, Shuyi, Shuyuan, Shurong, Xiuyi, Xiuyuan, Xiuyuan...... and so on.

Lu Zhe does not have many women now, that is, Qin, Zhao, Wei, Han, Qi, and Chu each have a noble daughter of royal blood, Wei Wen and Lu Pheasant, who are not from the royal family, there are only eight women, far less than the seventy-two concubines of the three palaces and six courts, as for how many will there be in the future...... No one can say.

The child was frolicking over there, and Lu Zhe naturally saw it, he just told Morlius? Yadi went over and asked.

Maureus? After Yadi came back, he said: "Several noble children made fun of the little princess with Gongling, and Prince Yang and Princess Ting also made fun of it, so ......"

Gongling is one of the sons of Gongwei, Gongwei has vaguely put forward the wish of the "Shang" princess several times, and Lu Zhe has diverted the topic from his words, but it is precisely because of such a thing that the children will always make fun of Lu Ying with Gongling, and it is estimated that this little girl with a strong personality has been provoked...... (To be continued.) )
