880. June 15, ten years, sunny(1/2)
The Fengshan ceremony lasted for several days, and Zhao Xing's prickly heat was almost covered. He couldn't wear the dragon robe now, and it was so uncomfortable that he could wear it. After returning this time, he would definitely announce the first thing he did to replace the heavy and tedious things that were now with a lighter outfit.
Don’t mention the silk summer clothes, unless you wear everything inside, you will still sweat white hair. If you don’t wear it inside, you will be neither elegant nor comfortable to suck it on your body. Zhao Xing sees that the most popular cotton and linen shirt in Chang'an is the most suitable one. It’s so comfortable to wear a small shirt, a set of flat pants, and a belt.
At least when Song Beiyun was wearing this kind of clothing, it made people feel comfortable to look at it. When looking at the dragon robe, it really doesn’t mean anything except expensive.
"Hey, brother, have you gone to visit Song Beiyun's agricultural products exhibition?"
"No, don't go, don't have any interest."
"Are you still angry? You two are so cautious."
When Zhao Xing was in the evening, he happened to foresee the Fo Baonu who was also enjoying the cooldown, so the two started chatting.
Regarding Song Beiyun's topic, basically, there is a knot in front of Buddha Baonu now, and I don't know why the two of them quarreled to this point.
But thinking about it, the queen still needs to find something to quarrel with me before she can feel comfortable. Even if the queen is like this, it would be strange if the two of them don’t quarrel.
"He brought a lot of things this time, and then several batches came, which were weaving by rural commercial companies, and everything was available. It was under Mount Tai, and the Dragon Boat Festival was opened together. After the work here, I must go and have fun."
Fo Baonu didn't speak, and she wanted to go and see it more than anyone else, because everyone else had reported it. This exhibition was completely different from the past. Not only Chang'an, but also the specialties of the Western Regions, Tubo, grassland, Fusang, etc., totaled more than fifty countries.
The most attractive one is the new production of Chang'an Agricultural College. It seems that the other agricultural colleges will arrive one after another in the past two days. The scale of this exhibition is much larger than before. It combines various activities such as direct sales from the origin, pre-ordering for futures, technical trading, etc., and there is also a one-stop food and drink at the gathering.
The lychee longan in Lingnan and the pineapple and mango in Qiongzhou are also in season. There are more than 30 kilograms of improved watermelon. I heard that the juice is rich and sweet.
"You say that Song Beiyun will bring business wherever he goes." Zhao Xing sat there and crossed his legs and said, "If he does business seriously, he is probably the most wealthy businessman in the world."
Fo Baonu still didn't speak, but instead stood up and left in disappointment. Zhao Xing knew that she was still angry, but she was not her wife, so he naturally didn't have that concern. When he saw that he was about to leave, he got thorned: "After tomorrow, I can go down the mountain in the afternoon. I will go to Taishan Festival together tonight. I heard that there are Western food and exciting programs."
Fo Baonu snorted coldly and quickly walked away with her sleeves, while Zhao Xing burst into laughter behind her.
However, Song Beiyun was not so leisurely at this time, because this was a temporary idea. After all, there were not many opportunities to gain advantage from the two emperors openly, and this agricultural product exhibition must be held.
How to say, although it is important to keep new technologies confidential, if no one pays for these things, expanding the scale is probably a fool. So after thinking for a long time, he finally thought that it would spread out and spread out, which would at least allow more people to start growing agricultural products.
The tertiary industry is of little significance to Song Beiyun, but the first and second industries are his lifeblood. This is not just a saying, because in the future, we will not only face natural disasters but also face the huge population explosion caused by peaceful times, medical breakthroughs, extended average life expectancy and abundant food.
Although Greater China is still in a state of vast land and sparsely populated population, labor is also a big problem. It is not that things can be grown with land, but a large amount of manpower must be consumed. However, policies alone are far from enough to drive human development. Its ultimate driving force is economic benefits.
So this time he felt that he happened to encounter an opportunity where the whole world focused his attention here, making the exhibitions that Chang'an has every year bigger and stronger, and making the real "World Expo".
While waiting for their Fengshan planning here, Song Beiyun called on all the carrying capacity he could use, mobilized all the people he could mobilize, and encouraged people from all over the country to bring the specialties from their hometown here.
Although the journey is long, fortunately, there is a magical highway in Liao Kingdom. Although it has cost a lot of money and many years, its power has been shown now. Starting three days ago, the number of inns and inns in Liao Kingdom has gradually reached the local saturation peak. All inns and inns are full, and caravans are endless. For places like Luoyang, the caravans waiting to enter and apply for clearance certificates have been lined up fifty miles away.
This was actually a scale that even Song Beiyun had never imagined, so he didn't care about so much now, so he directly arrested local Liao officials and forged the emperor's handwriting to ask them to cooperate with them with all their strength.
In just over a dozen days, more than 100,000 people had gathered in the foot of Mount Tai, and the number of people was refreshing up every day.
Travelers, buyers, sellers, watch the fun, and learners have attracted many attentions to this place. Even remote places such as Yunnan, Guizhou and Sichuan will bring local specialties.
"In theory, personal exhibitions are not accepted. You have to understand this Lord Fang, otherwise there will be too many booths and the management will be very chaotic." Song Beiyun sighed: "But you are right, it is indeed very important to be able to do something for your hometown. Otherwise, Lord Fang, how about you place all these individuals who come with their hometown specialties together to form an independent exhibition area?"
"Thank you, Mr. Song, for being reasonable."
"It should be. I always believe that the ultimate goal of a person's hard work is to get rid of poverty rather than to get rid of poverty in the hometown. Since they are willing, they must arrange it. However, the conditions may be harder, and you tell them that you must ensure hygiene, otherwise it will be a vegetable market, and no one who is so stinky is willing to go in."
"The officials understand, and the officials will definitely urge them."
Some things are really called "unintentional planting willows and willows". Song Beiyun just thought he wanted to advertise with the emperor's reputation, but who knew that the scale was so large that he was a little worried. It is foreseeable that this grand occasion will continue for a while in the future. Now he can only adjust as much as possible and conduct several rounds of screening to allow good enough things to be placed in the exhibition.
The workload is extremely huge. Although he is in Liao, he doesn't care about the messy and complicated tape. After all, this is a good opportunity. So at this critical moment, he is an official of the Song State or an official of the Liao State. Anyone who shows his face to him, Song Beiyun will really be able to do anything.
The next morning, four clocks were left before the official opening of the exhibition, and Zi Shibu arrived with the largest mission in Japan's history.
Not only did they bring production, they even brought all the Japanese who worked and studied in the Song Dynasty, in order to show the rich characteristics of Japan.
This is understandable, but their number is too large. There are three or five people in a booth, and there are more than 1,200 people coming up. Isn’t this a scam?
So even if Zi Shibu was slandering, Song Beiyun only allowed them to show a part of it in the main venue, and the rest could be gathered with other countries around to form a foreign exhibition area.
"Why is there such a large scale?"
As soon as Lord Fang left, Zi Shibu came. Her body was already wet with sweat, her clothes were already pressed against her body, and her figure was clearly visible. She looked like she had been busy for a long time.
"Go and change your clothes and come over again, what kind of style will it be?" Song Beiyun frowned: "What are you selling for at this time?"
Zi Shibu was scolded by the crowd and was a little puzzled, but when he saw his embarrassment in the mirror, he blushed in shame and ran back to the camp to change his clothes before coming back.
But after she went over this time, she found that Song Beiyun's house was full of people, all of whom were all over the local area. Although Song Beiyun was a minister of Song, these Liao officials were surprisingly adapted when they listened to him assigning work, as if they should be like this.
"Safety, order, hygiene, and clarity, this is the purpose of this time. Such a large scale is unprecedented and I did not expect it, so you must treat it as a tough battle. If I find someone perfunctory, don't take the hat on my head. Do you have to do everything possible to ensure the victory of this World Expo. If there is any problem in your jurisdiction in various places, don't apologize. Come and see me directly with your head. Do you understand?"
After receiving the order from all the officials, Song Beiyun began to ask his subordinates to distribute the charter: "You read all the charter here, and if you have any objections, you can raise it now."
The room was quiet, and only when the sound of flipping through the paper was Zi Shibu realized how insulting the national character would have been if she had appeared on this occasion like that. It could not even be said to have been a disgrace to his country. She also humiliated the national character of the Song and Liao countries. At that time, Song Beiyun would not be able to say that she would not kill her.
At that time, Zi Shibu's cold sweat was scared...
In addition to officials at all levels, there were also businessmen and envoy representatives from other countries. The two or three minutes of back and forth did not calm down. Song Beiyun's voice was hoarse. After finally resting for a while, he leaned on the chair and closed his eyes to rest.
“This time it’s too big…”
Zi Shibu walked in again: "I didn't expect so many people before I came, and I thought there were wars here..."
"Stop talking about you, I'm shocked."
Song Beiyun sighed: "It's really the pace of the times that cannot be controlled by individuals. I just spread this news. I originally thought that there would be about a hundred or ten participating people. I really didn't expect there would be two thousand three hundred caravans and fifty-seven countries of all sizes. The combined business of the Song and Liao dynasties could be enough to plow the Japanese seven times with shells."
Zi Shibu's expression was aggrieved, and her eyes were puzzled.
"Oh, I don't mean that, I'm just giving an example."
"I understand...but why are there so many people?"
"The times have changed." Song Beiyun leaned his head up and leaned on the chair: "I have thought about it for a long time, why is this happening? It should be that the times have changed, and they have changed silently."
"Will anyone say that it has disturbed the peace of Mount Tai? This is Mount Tai."
"We all said that the times have changed. Some people will definitely say it, but no one will care, because the people who are talking about it are not the same group of people who come here to play. There is no intersection between them. As for someone scolding me, I will scold me. I have been scolded a lot. From digging the graves of ancestors and digging the tombs of ancestors to deceive the king, it has become stinky, but who cares?"
After that, Zi Shi's ministry just submitted a report form to Song Beiyun normally. Because she was considered a foreign envoy, her report was the same as that of other countries. Song Beiyun needed to personally approve it.
As for walking through the back door? Song Beiyun doesn’t have the time to arrange it separately for her now. After she delayed five minutes, more than twenty people would have to line up.
After finally reaching the opening ceremony, Song Beiyun was almost exhausted. He washed his face with cold water, changed into a dress and went to the ribbon cutting ground.
When he arrived outside the city, he only felt a buzzing sound in his mind, because the scene in front of him almost suffocated him, not the suffocation of sadness, but the scene in front of him suddenly made him dream back to 2018.
It was full of people. Looking around, I saw people surrounded by people. It seemed like I felt like I was back when he went to Beijing, the capital that year, and my mother pushed him on Chang'an Street.
But at this moment, he could no longer sigh at this scene. He could only take a sip of tea made by Fat Dahai, clear his throat, stand next to the radio, and start his opening speech.
He spoke briefly and powerfully, and immediately started the show after he finished speaking. Crowds flocked in. The first thing the merchant did after entering was to find the location based on his license plate, and then take out his own business to start displaying.
The meaning of this kind of exhibition is obviously not just selling goods, so basically the common things in street stalls are not visible here. At least there are people who need to introduce or explain at each booth.
When the merchants were almost ready, the merchants and tourists outside were also put in, and the originally empty place was instantly filled.
"The catering area is the key point, and if there is a little problem, you will ask!" Mr. Fang, who had previously personally entered the exhibition area and began to check the work around him one by one.
He knew in his heart that if he could do well this time, he might go to Beijing to become an official next year. If he couldn't do well, he might have to go back to his hometown to become a county magistrate next year. It is no exaggeration to say that this sudden exhibition is the ultimate assessment of his governance ability.
He was given the opportunity, and whether he could grasp it was his own business, so this adult was more careful than anyone else, for fear of a slight mistake.
There were patrols with armbands and officials wearing casual clothes everywhere on the street. Although these people were usually as weak as if they were being sucked by someone, their eyes were shining today, for fear of missing a pickpocket thief.
Song Beiyun was wandering in the middle of the catering area at this moment, where all kinds of foods gathered from all over the world, from the street to the end of the street, some things were even strange things that he had never seen before.
The meat skewers from the Western Regions were emitting a pungent fragrance under the roasting of charcoal fire, and Japanese knife craftsmen were showing the use of a knife to turn a large, fresh fish fillet as thin as paper.
It was really a dream to go back to 2018. Song Beiyun stood in the temporary street with fast flowing crowds, then walked to a Miaojiang shop and saw a large pot of green stuff boiling in the big pot. He had never seen this thing before, so he asked.
The store told him that it was Niu Bie, but he didn't understand, so he asked for a copy...
"unlucky."
He spitted out the money and settled the bill. After taking a bite, his appetite was completely gone...
"Let them hang the sign, otherwise the emperors of the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties will eat it and your dog's head will be gone." Song Beiyun said to the people around him: "They will definitely visit in contemporaries. Be careful and careful, and don't make mistakes in such details."
"Yes..." After the accompanying officials knew what it was, they were trembling all over. As Song Beiyun said, if the emperors were asked to take a bite of cow shit, then...
"All things that cannot be seen must be marked clearly. The meat must be slaughtered freshly."
The managers at the bottom quickly began to supplement the rules for each merchant, and Song Beiyun continued to walk forward. He never dared to eat the strange things again, but the barbecue series in the Western Regions was really good.
Especially for grilled camels, the camel oil is roasted with grease and spices. It is absolutely delicious to eat a bunch of them. But it is too oily and it becomes a bit greasy after a few bites. In the end, the lychees transported by fast horses are deeply loved.
"It's really a concubine who is riding in the world, but no one knows it's lychees coming." Song Beiyun ate a few: "It's really great to be able to eat lychees here."
At this moment, he found a familiar figure in the crowd. He stepped forward and saw that he was indeed an acquaintance, but he knew when he was in Qimen, Huizhou. He seemed to have his last name... He forgot what his name was.
"Hey." Song Beiyun walked to the busy old friend and shouted: "I know you, right?"
The man looked up and found that it was Song Beiyun. He hurriedly bowed and said, "Mr. Song... Huang Anwei is in a hurry to welcome him."
"Oh... Yes, yes, Huang Anwei. I met you when I was in Qimen County. You even invited me to eat Qimen's sesame cakes."
Huang Anwei smiled and said, "Thank you, Lord Song, for your concern."
"I remember you passed the exam back then, why are you now?"
"Mr. Song doesn't know that the lower-ranking official is now the magistrate of Huizhou. Isn't it that I will come here to promote Huizhou's specialties?" Huang Anwei bowed and smiled, "If Lord. Song doesn't mind, why don't you come and eat a few sesame cakes?"
To be continued...
