Mid-Autumn Festival

The Mid-Autumn Festival originated in the Tang Dynasty and officially became a national legal holiday in the Song Dynasty. It was not a very important festival in the Tang Dynasty, nor was it an official holiday. On the Mid-Autumn Festival, officials should continue to work, and the people should make a living.

Those who celebrated the Mid-Autumn Festival in the Tang Dynasty were emperors and concubines in the palace, and those who were idle and literati and poets who liked to drink and write poems in the folk. There was also a main force in celebrating the Mid-Autumn Festival, who were unmarried and missed their husbands, and those who were married and missed their husbands. The women who were looking forward to the affair were agreed to worship the moon god and expressed their thoughts.

In short, this is an idle festival.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

After the three hundred morning bell rang, Chang'an City, which had been sleeping for a night, recovered.

The people from all walks of life in Chang'an City went out one after another, but instead of visiting relatives and friends or opening the door to do business, they went to the two largest markets in Chang'an City, the East City and the West City, in groups.

As early as ten days ago, the bulletin boards of various neighbors in Chang'an City were covered with edicts issued by the emperor himself. On the occasion of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the palace will hold two small bets in the East and West cities.

The "Wen Si Ruquan" competition was held in Dongshi City. The rule is that every citizen can participate in the competition as long as they pay a penny, and then answer the correct official test question, and they can get a bonus of a scattered sum, with nearly a thousand times the profit.

The competition is held in West City. The rules are the same as answering questions with prizes. You can participate in the competition by paying a penny. There are four sub-items: archery, riding, weightlifting, and martial arts. As long as you can meet the standards required by the government, you can get a bonus.

As soon as this announcement came out, the entire Chang'an City was in an uproar.

The so-called new officials took office and the new emperor made such a big money-spending drama when he first arrived in Chang'an, which made the people of Chang'an City stunned.

This time, Yang Yao's bonus was really expensive. A piece of copper coins was enough for an ordinary person's basic living expenses for half a year. Before traveling through time, it would be at least 10,000 RMB of consumption power.

After ten consecutive days of public opinion fermentation, on the Mid-Autumn Festival, at least thousands of people in Chang'an City rushed to the east and west cities to join in the fun. Although I don't know whether it is true or not, I went to see a few more than two kilograms of meat. What if it is true?

This Mid-Autumn Festival competition was hosted by Jingzhao Weishi, and the supervisor was Wei Wen. The person responsible for maintaining the on-site order was the Five Hundred Dragon Martial Army.

Yang Yao had been holding it in the palace for a long time, and wanted to go to the folk to breathe, so he changed into the clothes of ordinary famous families and brought Shangguan Wan'er and Wang De to join in the fun. Xue Chuyu, the general of the Longwu Army, also disguised himself as a bodyguard, and followed the carriage far behind the carriage.

Yang Yao chose the first stop to watch the East City where the "Wen Si Ruquan" competition was held.

The three of them took a carriage to Dongshi. There were two yards left from Dongshi. There were already a crowd of people in front of them, and the carriage was hard to move forward.

This kind of crowded scene was also expected by Yang Yao. Before traveling, those old ladies had to catch up with more than ten stops of buses to buy some cheap dishes and get a few free eggs; for those who had to queue up all night to buy a price reduction goods, for such a huge reward, wouldn’t they steal the money?

Yang Yao and his group visited privately in a private tour. They didn't want to disturb the onlookers, so they could only choose to get off the car and walk. The Longwu Army forced the way, pushed open the crowded crowd, and arrived in the East City.

In the big square in the middle of the East City, Wei Wen had already made a big platform, and there were ten cases in a row. There was a large jar on each case table, and the jar was prepared in advance according to Yang Yao's prior instructions.

There are dozens of money bags placed behind the platform. The entire platform is closely guarded by two hundred Dragon Martial Army soldiers. People under the platform are never allowed to come up and rob.

Under Xue Chuyu's secret arrangement, Yang Yao and his group finally squeezed to the front row near the platform, and formed a wall of more than ten Longwu Army soldiers, guarding the three of them in the front.

Shangguan Wan'er looked at the ten big jars in shock. Yang Yao's previous series of operations were carried out on her back. She didn't know what the test was in this "Wen Si Ruquan" competition, so mysterious.

According to her estimate, since Yang Yao gave a considerable bonus, he should want to select private talents through the two competitions of "Wen Si Ruquan" and "Brave the Three Armys"!

Shangguan Wan'er was very interested in literature and couldn't help but ask, "What questions did the emperor prepare? Did he write a poem on the spot?"

Yang Yao shook his head and said, "No."

Shangguan Wan'er was really curious and asked again, "What the emperor will not make is a strategy!"

Yang Yao smiled mysteriously at her and shook his head again, "Not."

He was neither on the left nor on the right, and he was even more reluctant to tell him that Shangguan Wan'er could not guess it, and turned her face to the side as if she was angry.

"Ding Ding Ding!"

After three times of sound of the golden sound, Wei Wenlong announced that the "Wen Si Ruquan" competition has officially begun. Those who are willing to participate in the competition will pay a registration fee of one cent first and then go to the jar to draw questions.

There were ten floors inside and ten floors outside the platform, and there were already no water. Even lined up outside the East City, and the popularity was very strong enough.

However, Yang Yao waited calmly for half a quarter of an hour. Although there were noises and cheers under the platform, people kept instigating others to answer questions, but no one really walked up to the platform to participate in the competition.

The people in Chang'an City watched by onlookers, but no one wanted to be the first to stand out, and they all wanted others to be the first to eat crabs.

"Zhang Wulang, have you read a few days ago and go and give it a try?"

"Tsk! Pay a penny and get a reward of a chunk if you answer correctly. With such generous conditions, there must be very awkward questions in ten jars! I can't succeed, no!"

"Zhang Wulang, I think there must be a fraud. What do you think is the first thing a new official needs to do when he takes office?"

"What? Say it quickly!"

"Of course I'm making money! The emperor has also ascended the throne, and it's the first time I've come to Chang'an City. With my experience, I must have come to Chang'an City to make money! I can't go!"

"Yes, yes, I have heard that the current emperor is a foolish monarch, arrogant and extravagant, eating ten tables of dishes every day and controlling ten girls every night. I think it's because the emperor is short of money and wants to come up with money to cheat, so he can't go! Can't go!"

After hearing the discussions of the people behind, Yang Yao was completely out of nothing. He was heard and far-fetched, and he was so angry that he vomited blood. He ate ten tables of dishes every day, and he wanted to become a pig? What the hell is Ye Yu's Ten Girls? I wonder ****?

What kind of behavior did I do that is angry and resentful? I am so imaginative in the minds of the people?!

Shangguan Wan'er couldn't help laughing when she heard everyone's discussion, and leaned closer to him and said softly, "Ye Yu's ten-women's great foolish monarch!"

Yang Yao smelled the charming body fragrance of the beauty, listened to the sound of the orioles and spoke, laughed, "Zhaoyi, I don't have the ability to be Ye Yu Ten Women, and I still have the ability to favor Zhaoyi tonight."

Shangguan Wan'er blushed and smiled at him without comment.

Wang De leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "Master, should you capture all the unlucky people who dare to offend the emperor, and serve as a warning to others."

Preventing people’s mouths is more important than preventing Sichuan. What’s the use of catching a few people?

Yang Yao gave him a blank look and ordered, "Xiao Dezi, take a penny to draw a question!"
