The opening ceremony of the woolen mill was full of the unique flavor of this era. First, sacrifices were offered in front of the factory gate, and everyone worshiped the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth. Then the sixth grandpa, the oldest in Yan'an Fort, came out to represent everyone in Yan'an Fort. The folks said a lot of words praising Yan's hometown for being friendly to neighbors, honoring his ancestors, and wishing the woolen mill a happy opening. Originally, Yan Liqiang wanted his father, Yan Dechang, to go up and say a few words and show his face, but Yan Dechang was embarrassed and felt awkward, so This link was omitted. After Grandpa Six, the Sheriff came on stage. He walked to the front with dignity and began to speak...
"A few months ago, when I heard about the water and fire engine for the first time, I was shocked as a rare thing in the world. Water and fire engines are also popular all over the world. Those who get this thing in all states and counties can't help but imitate it, and they start mills or saws. Everyone in the field shows his/her ability, and the method of detecting objects through mechanisms has reached this point. It has been developed and implemented in a way that no one has ever done before. It is really amazing. But what I didn’t expect is that just a few months later, I, Pingxi County, But there is still such a grand event. The power of water and fire machine is used to extract gold and iron, and water and fire are used. Gold, iron, water and fire are originally useful things. Taking them and using them will increase profits. However, this woolen mill takes useless things. And use it, using the method of organizing objects, to turn this useless thing into a treasure, and benefit the world. Its benefits are greater than those of water and fire machines. There are new spinning machines and looms in the factory, which can make Qianqian A weak woman can be proud of this. Although the woolen mill in Yan'an Fort today is just a factory, it is the first of its kind in the world and serves as an example for the rest of the world. If Pingxi County can have such a pioneering work under my rule, I am also the first to do so. Rong Yan, I am very pleased..."
The Lord Sheriff began to speak, and the people around him were silent. Everyone was listening carefully. Yan Liqiang sat down and listened, secretly admiring Wang Jianbei's eloquence. It really is the same in every dynasty in the world. This official can become a county guard. For a person in this position, when he opens his mouth, he is indeed far-sighted and extraordinary. Once he opens his mouth, he can talk endlessly.
Just when Wang Jianbei had almost finished speaking, and Yan Liqiang was about to go on stage to officially unveil the woolen mill with Wang Jianbei, Yan Liqiang's ears twitched, and he suddenly turned his head and looked towards the street entrance in the distance, blinking. Suddenly, a noise came from a distance. Not only did Yan Liqiang notice it, but the guests attending the ceremony and the crowd around the woolen mill also turned their heads to look. One of them was secretly wondering who it was. So bold, dare to come to Yan'an Fort to cause trouble at this time...
Yan Liqiang glanced at Zhou Yong who was not far away. Zhou Yong had already rushed over with a few people. The two guards who followed Wang Jianbei also passed towards the place where the loud noise was made at about the same time.
But before the people here could pass by, there was already a voice from the other side that was so excited that it reached the clouds. "Imperial edict, imperial edict, it's the edict from His Majesty the Emperor in the Imperial City..."
As soon as that voice fell, more voices came over, "Imperial edict, the imperial edict has arrived..."
"The imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Imperial City to Mr. Yan has arrived..."
"The imperial edict from His Majesty the Emperor of the Imperial City to Mr. Yan has arrived..."
If it were said by one person, the people here might still be suspicious, but in the blink of an eye, almost thousands of people shouted. Everyone here heard it, and their expressions instantly brightened—it has been many years, His Majesty the Emperor’s The imperial edict has not been to Ganzhou. No one here, including Wang Jianbei, has received the imperial edict. Not everyone can receive this imperial edict. Those who are not registered in the heart of His Majesty the Emperor will be punished for the rest of their lives. It is impossible to receive any imperial edict.
Not to mention the people who were watching in the small square in front of the woolen mill, even those sitting in the guest seats all stood up quickly.
"What's going on..." Wang Jianbei looked surprised, frowning slightly, and looked at Yan Liqiang beside him.
"I didn't know that there would be an imperial edict coming today..." Yan Liqiang shook his head and whispered to Wang Jianbei. In fact, Yan Liqiang himself was very surprised. He didn't expect that His Majesty the Emperor would actually give him an imperial edict. And when this imperial edict arrived, However, Yan Liqiang could vaguely guess the reason - because more than two months ago, he had quietly asked someone to bring the world's first batch of wool textiles that he had spun with wool to the Imperial Capital and presented them to His Majesty the Emperor. The effect of celebrity marketing is so good. After tasting the sweetness once, Yan Liqiang certainly doesn't mind doing it a second time. Isn't it strange that the so-called gift to many people is not strange? What's more, this is a great opportunity to show loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor. Therefore, while people in Pingxi County were still guessing why Yan Liqiang was harvesting wool and preparing to raise sheep, His Majesty the Emperor, who was far away in the palace of the Imperial City, had already become the first user of wool textiles in the world. By…
Yan Liqiang sent several woolen blankets and several pieces of worsted woolen cloth to His Majesty the Emperor and Eunuch Liu.
A group of guards wearing crimson robes and carrying swords rode rhinoceros horses and escorted a four-wheeled carriage to the ceremony site. As soon as the carriage stopped, two guards riding rhinoceros horses took the lead. He jumped down, untied a cloth bag he was carrying, pulled out two long golden whips, and whipped them hard in the air a few times...
When the golden whip twitched and exploded in the air, it was louder than firecrackers and the vibration was greater. Within a radius of several hundred meters, after the golden whip blew, Yaque was silent.
This is the clean whip, which represents the majesty of the royal family of the Han Empire. When His Majesty the Emperor goes to court, or wherever the imperial decree goes, there will be guards holding the clean whip to clear the way. After the whip is sounded, everyone must hold their breath and concentrate, and must not make any noise.
After the sound of the whip, the door of the four-wheeled carriage opened. An old eunuch with gray hair, white face and beardless, wearing a green eunuch's robe, adjusted his robe, got out of the carriage, raised his face slightly, Glancing around, he saw the dark crowd around him and the plaque of the woolen mill that was covered with red cloth but had not yet been unveiled. The old eunuch nodded with satisfaction. This edict represents His Majesty's majesty and his favor to Yan Liqiang. In today's situation, the more people can see it, the better.
"Mr. Yan, long time no see, do you still remember our family?" When he saw Yan Liqiang, a smile finally appeared on the old eunuch's face.
"It turns out to be Eunuch Ou!" As countless people around him watched, Yan Liqiang walked over with a smile on his face and saluted the old eunuch in a neither humble nor condescending manner. Yan Liqiang had only met this old eunuch once. He remembered that when Eunuch Liu took him to the palace to meet the saint, this old eunuch was working outside the palace of His Majesty the Emperor. At that time, Eunuch Liu took Yan Liqiang and said a few words to this old eunuch. This old eunuch seemed to have He is a subordinate of Eunuch Liu and is extremely respectful to Eunuch Liu.
Seeing this old eunuch, Yan Liqiang knew that this imperial edict was probably for something good.
Hearing that Yan Liqiang still remembered him and called out his name, the smile on the old eunuch's face became thicker. He nodded with satisfaction, looked at Yan Liqiang with a look at his own people, and continued, "We We will talk about old times with Mr. Yan later, but now we have to deal with the matters that His Majesty has given us... Ahem... Please also ask Mr. Yan to prepare the incense case and prepare to receive the order... "
The incense table and other items were all ready-made. The incense table that had just been used to worship the ghosts and gods of heaven and earth was still placed at the entrance of the woolen mill. The eunuch who came down from the four-wheeled carriage walked behind the incense table with everyone's attention. The expression on his face suddenly became serious. After looking around, he picked up a roll of brocade silk from the gold plate held by a guard next to him and unfolded it.
"Qi Yun, Governor Yan Liqiang, accepts the order..." The old eunuch opened his voice, as if singing a high note, and slowly pulled out a string of words. It was so charming that people standing far away could hear it.
"Yan Liqiang accepts the order..." Yan Liqiang took a deep breath, stepped forward, and bowed to accept the order.
"In accordance with the destiny of heaven, His Majesty the Emperor of the Han Dynasty issued an edict: Heaven and earth nurture all things, and all things are born to nourish people. The way to organize things is to take benevolence as the foundation, use use as the body, observe all things and work together, and turn their use into the benefit of the world. Today I am very pleased that Qi Yun, the governor and guardian of Yan Liqiang, is an unparalleled cardinal. He has done great service to the country and the people. I am very pleased. Now I confer the title of governor Qi Yun, Yan Liqiang, as the master of Tiangong in the Shaofu of the Han Empire. He is hereditary a first-class baron and the crown prince of the East Palace. A young archmaster and an envoy to the northwest of the Han Empire..."
Including Yan Liqiang, all the onlookers were shocked and speechless when they heard the imperial edict conferring a bunch of seals on Yan Liqiang...
