2024-08-03 14:45:29On the charred ruins of Taipingchang, many people came out of their makeshift huts and gathered around a group of donkey carts and wheelbarrows coming up the road. There was a flag in front of the convoy that read: Chengdu Treasury.
People were making a lot of noise and talking among themselves standing on the side of the road.
"It's easy to hand in grain, but they're so stingy when it comes to receiving it! They say it's eight months' rations, but each person only gets one stone of rice. How can it last for eight months? Before, we got only five cents for rent for a house!" A woman complained.
The old man with his hands tucked into his sleeves laughed and said, "Li family, it's good that the army didn't rob you when they entered Sichuan. Don't complain that it's too little if they can give you money and food. You don't know, if we count back 30 years, the Chengdu government was in chaos. You want to take money and food from the government? You think it's ea

Zhu Gaoxu wanted to lead the army to march as soon as possible, which seemed a bit hasty; but in order to seize the opportunity, he had to abandon the perfect preparations.At this time, nothing was more important than military action, and many seemingly important matters could be put aside. But before Zhu Gaoxu left, he still had to meet the King of Shu, which could not be omitted. After all, the King of Shu was the son of Emperor Taizu, who had been in charge of the Sichuan Provincial Administration for many years; and his grandfather was Chuyang King Guo Zixing, who had a great reputation.Zhu Gaoxu was looking for a seemingly natural excuse to meet the King of Shu. Unexpectedly, the King of Shu sent a letter of invitation first. Zhu Gaoxu opened it and took a look. The King of Shu said that the emperor's nephew is coming to Chengdu, and his uncle will prepare a family banquet tomorrow to show the friendship of the landlord. There are not many people invited, o

The feast was filled with delicacies, rich and exquisite calligraphy and paintings, and the conversations of several nobles present. Zhu Gaoxu was distracted by many things. He didn't notice anything strange at all!Mu Sheng frowned and said, "This play, Hibiscus City, written by Shi Hui, is sung in southern tunes. The old woman at the beginning used the Yiyang tune of Jiangxi, but the Hua Dan just now sang a line with the Kunshan tune. The King of Shu is a noble royal family, and the opera troupe he keeps at home should not be so crude."Zhu Gaoxu looked at the stage and said casually: "I don't hear the difference."Mu Sheng made a gesture and turned the music into gestures, "Kunshan accent is originally a majestic tone. She deliberately sang in Yiyang accent and sculpted it to cover up the past with graceful and delicate sounds. However, Kunshan accent is like grinding and chanting back and forth. Here she Couldn’t change it.”Zhu Gaoxu was confused.

In the east warm room of the imperial palace in the capital, after Xu Huizu walked past the partition, the servants inside went out, and the only eunuch left was Hai Tao.The East Warm Pavilion has gone through the Hongwu, Jianwen, and Yongle dynasties, and has not changed much in its layout until the Hongxi dynasty, but the furnishings inside have changed a lot recently. The flesh of Emperor Zhu Gaochi is lying on a large chair covered with several layers of fur made of golden nanmu. On the wall behind him hangs a map of the territory of the Ming Dynasty, like a large screen.On the imperial desk covered with silk, a stack of memorials were placed far away; only one was placed in front of Zhu Gaochi, who seemed to have read it over and over again...Before Gao Xu started his rebellion, there was a spy who reported that Gao Xu was going to attack Annan. When Xu Huizu heard this, he immediately said that the report was false and asserted that Gao Xu would eit

After Youshi, He Fu left the simple and elegant Fifth Army Governor's Mansion and walked out of the imperial city through Hongwu Gate.There was no snow in the capital at the end of winter, but the cold was approaching. Under the gloomy sky, everything seemed calm. But He Fu has already seen big things happening, and even feels that there are undercurrents surging in invisible places.Returning to the Hou Mansion west of the imperial city, He Fu met his wife Xu. Xu whispered, "My niece is here. My younger brother Xu Zhang's daughter has been crying all afternoon.""What is she here for?" He Fu frowned."You were divorced by King Zhao. If you feel wronged at home, come to me to complain." Mrs. Xu said.Xu was a widow before marrying He Fu. Her younger brother Xu Zhang was once a general guarding the Yan Palace.The daughter of Xu Zhang, a military commander of the Prince of Yan, married Zhu Gaosui, the Prince of Zhao, at the beginning of the

The brightly colored thing was easily noticed.The servant opened the paper package and saw an envelope with the words: "This is a matter of great importance. Please open it in person, Officer Geng." The servant did not dare to keep it in his hands and hurried to the inner house gate, saying that he had something important to discuss with his master.Geng Tong, who had just gotten up and was still wearing his underwear, put on a cotton shirt and summoned his servant. Geng Tong took the unopened letter, looked through it, tore open the seal, and took out the letter to read.This was a letter of denunciation. The person being denounced was Guo Ming, the son of Wuding Marquis Guo Ying, the father of the current imperial concubine Guo Yan and the father-in-law of the King of Han.The letter said that Guo Mi

The vigorous sound of trumpets and high-pitched cymbals rang out on the vast plains, and the rumbling sound of drums was like thunder from the blue sky, awakening the windless and moist ancient silence on the land of Sichuan Provincial Administration.The sky was pitch black at dawn, but a ray of morning glow suddenly rose in the east. The densely packed spears and flags turned into dark shadows against the backdrop of the morning glow. The grand and orderly footsteps beat rhythmically against the sky and earth in the sound of drums; the hurried hooves of horses changed the comfortable and leisurely atmosphere of this place.Under the stone plaque engraved with the two mottled characters "Chengdu", the heavy city gate slowly opened.The King of Han, Zhu Gaoxu, was wearing a green imperial robe and riding a large brown horse. Beside him were civil officials in official uniforms, military generals in armor, and a female Taoist priest wearing a veil hat.

West of the imperial city in the capital, the mansion bestowed by the late emperor on the famous scholar Gao Xianning was empty. His parents, wife and children were all in his hometown in Shandong, and he usually slept alone at night.Gao Xianning put down the book in his hand, picked up the small iron hook on the table, and gently moved the wick in the oil lamp, and the room suddenly became slightly brighter.He did not feel lonely, as the sages said that a gentleman should be cautious when alone, and Gao Xianning had long been accustomed to such a scene. He had studied hard for the imperial examinations and had experienced countless nights like this.However, he did not continue to read the book, but looked at the oil lamp with interest. The lamp was like a bowl, with light on the table, but it was dark under the bowl; on the whole table, the area under the bowl, closest to the wick, was the darkest place.This shadow reminded him of the scene early

People have various identities in the world. Even if Zhang is the queen of the world, she is still a wife and mother. So now she is holding a spoon, adding seasonings to the casserole, and stewing a pot of yam and pork ribs, acting like a clever woman in the family.When Zhang was not married, she was already skilled at doing various household chores. This was because her natal family was not very wealthy and could not afford to support a large number of people. Zhang doesn't know how to cook exquisite dishes, but only some home-cooked dishes, but they are completely sufficient. What delicacies from the mountains and seas have not been eaten by the royal nobles? It doesn't matter what she cooks, her heart is the most important thing, not to mention the home-cooked dishes she cooks are quite delicious.At that time, Zhang was the eldest concubine in Prince Yan's Mansion and the Crown Princess in the Imperial Palace.

The sky gradually darkened and the lights came on. Gao Xu held Miao Jin's hand and followed the crowd into the concert hall.People were all dressed up, especially women, who were all dressed up. Some wore traditional clothes such as ruqun or aoqun, while others were dressed in modern fashion. Each figure seemed to be wandering between the classical and the modern.Among them there are many foreigners, probably all of whom came to Taicang to attend international conferences.In terms of fun, people might prefer to watch a movie rather than enjoy such pure music. However, there were still many listeners tonight, and the auditorium gradually filled up.Perhaps some of them value the rarity of concerts and do not attend them often, while others simply value their style.Gao Xu's main happiness comes from Miao Jin's company. Imagine if he came alone or with someone unrelated, his feelings would be much worse. He is willing to be with Miao Jin and exp

There were long commercials playing on TV, but no one changed the channel.Miao Jin was doing chores and preparing ingredients for lunch. Gao Xu began to check his various instruments, which were all measuring tools he had collected a while ago.There is a ray detector, which, according to the manual, can detect radiation, including ultraviolet light, laser and other electromagnetic waves. There is a torsion balance experimental device, which can measure the gravitational constant. And an air measuring instrument.There were also some uncommon small devices. In short, except for the large instruments that were difficult to carry, he tried his best to buy all the instruments that could test general constants.Miao Jin would occasionally look over here curiously, but before she asked, she might have guessed what Gao Xu was going to do.Gao Xu would tell her clearly as long as she asked. Because when he was going to look for the cave in Huangshan, h

Gao Xu usually doesn't like watching TV. But today, when Miao Jin was watching TV in the living room, he was gradually attracted by the TV program, so he stopped what he was doing and sat next to Miao Jin.There was a studio on the TV screen, with two hosts, a man and a woman, talking about the animation "Zootopia" like a crosstalk. It was neither news nor entertainment, but a show that mocked reality.Miao Jin saw Gao Xu sitting over and said, "This TV station should be more inclined to the left-wing viewpoint."Gao Xu asked, "Why haven't I heard of the distinction between left and right wings?"Miao Jin said, "It is originally an imported product. That is how foreigners describe Ming Dynasty politics. There is no clear distinction between left and right in China. So we generally don't use such words. It is normal that we don't hear them normally."She glanced at Gao Xu and continued, "This classification first appeared in the parliament during

Gao Xu's drama project has less than half the investment of the animation project, with a total investment of about 40 million yen for 15 episodes; the profit expectations are also completely incomparable to those of animated films. As Wang Siqi and most people believe, the fastest way to make money is still the movie box office.But Gao Xu has invested more energy in costume dramas.The crew built a filming site in the Western Regions. From 509 to the first half of 510, a production period of less than a year, Gao Xu flew twice to personally observe the filming site. His subordinate Sun Jing also stayed in the Western Regions for a long time, passing various information back to Taicang.A large media company in Taicang has signed an exclusive premiere agreement with Dream Incubation Studio.The terms are a bit complicated, but the key is to adopt a cooperation model with floating copyright fees. When the series is almost finished, a pay TV station und

The glass window on the outer wall is located in the east direction, so the sunlight cannot enter the studio in the afternoon. Therefore, Gao Xu often has a slight illusion that it seems to be later than the actual time.At this moment, the phone in his coat pocket rang. Gao Xu's phone rarely received calls because he had set the Do Not Disturb function, so no calls could be received from numbers that were not saved. He took it out and saw that it was a person who he did not contact often but had saved the number a long time ago, Sun Jing.Gao Xu stood up from his desk, walked to the corner by the glass window, glanced at Wang Cheng not far away, and answered the phone.Sun Jing's voice asked, "Are you still busy with work?"Gao Xu said, "Yes, I am working on two projects at the same time, so I am a little busy. How is Mr. Sun doing recently?"Sun Jing, "Very boring. I don't have to go to work, but I've been idle for so long that I feel like I'm
Game of the Throne Chapter 1062 Chicken with Rice
This was the second time Gao Xu and Xiao Yu had a meal together. Last time they were at the company cafeteria, and today they were at a roadside fast food restaurant.After finishing work at the agency, Gao Xu drove off the main road and found a parking space. Then he randomly found a restaurant where he could eat and walked in with Xiao Yu.It was very lively inside, with all kinds of customers, including well-dressed office workers and some homely citizens, men, women, young and old, making a big noise in the room, mixed with the loud shouts of the shop assistants passing on information. Although the air conditioner was on, the shop was open and there were many people, so it was still very hot inside.There were several dishes to choose from, all of which were simple and convenient. Gao Xu and Xiao Yu gave up on the braised pork intestines with radish, and roast duck was too greasy, so they chose roast chicken.The roasted chicken skin was cut into p

After many twists and turns, Gao Xu finally contacted the director named Ma Xuan.Ma Xuan has an account on the Internet where he posts some career news. Gao Xu's assistant Yu Ni left messages and sent messages, but it took several days for her to get a response. Gao Xu came to the hall and looked through the information records on Yu Ni's computer."He doesn't seem very proactive." Yu Ni said.Gao Xu said , "You claim to be the assistant of the investor of "Dream Seekers", but he may not believe you. If our studio also has such a certified account, it may save some trouble."At this time, Shidai Heng walked by and greeted him, "Mr. Liu."Gao Xu nodded and said, "We are trying to contact Ma Xuan, the director you recommended."Dai Heng came over and said, "He should have received a lot of similar messages. And there is indeed some false information on the Internet. For the purpose of advertising, people may lie about their identities, which
Game of the Throne Chapter 1060: Relationship and Emotion
The people who work here, including Dai Heng who has only been here a few days, seem to have gotten used to the environment.The studio was in good condition. The morning sun shone in through the French windows, and the room was clean and tidy. In addition to the solid wood desk and bookshelf, and a full range of domestic electrical appliances (Made in China products are more expensive), there were also comfortable leather chairs.Gao Xu was in Xiao Deng's office at the moment, sitting on one of the leather chairs, holding a tablet and reading the text he had just copied from Xiao Deng's computer. Of course, he couldn't help but listen to the sound of her keyboard at the same time.He put down the tablet, picked up the cup next to him, and found it was empty. So he stood up and walked to the water dispenser, filled up half a cup of hot water, then took a tea bag and put it in the cup to soak for more than ten seconds, then took it out and put it next to him.

The next screenwriter who came to the studio for an interview was named Dai Heng, who should be a relatively unknown person.Gao Xu looked out from the glass wall and when he saw Dai Heng, he immediately guessed that this person was probably not married yet. Dai Heng was wearing a brand new suit, a white shirt with a small cross collar, and a pair of casual leather shoes that didn't match. The most unpleasant thing about Dai Heng was his long hair, but unlike the image of Ekin Cheng, Gao Xu felt at first glance that Dai Heng was not suitable for that hairstyle. Some hairstyles look good, but they are picky about the face.But these are not problems. Now that the people have arrived, Gao Xu needs to get to know them a little bit.Gao Xu pressed the phone on the desk, "Xiao Yu, ask him to come to the office to meet.""Okay." Xiao Yu said into the phone outside, his voice coming from the desk inside.Dai Heng came in from the door with a bag on his
