Chapter 42: Xingtian Dance
What makes Du Ruhui's funeral even more unacceptable is that he is a "black funeral".
The mourning hall can be placed for a long time, but the coffin board will be buried in three days according to Du Xianggong's last wish. If it were an ordinary family, Du Gou and Du He would definitely be very unfilial. But I just mean that this is what my own meaning is, and it is immediately helpless.
As for the first seventh ritual, it was actually handed over to the new funeral officers of the Tiebang Temple to handle. However, the process of the Tiebang Temple in recent years was mainly to imitate the "Nuo opera", and to perform the trick of the dead men first chopping people everywhere.
The movements are quite exaggerated, but it can still be seen that they evolved from fighting techniques.
If this set was released before, the ancestors of Du could come alive.
However, Du Ruhui pointed this. Didn’t Du Gou ask him why he did this trick to make people disgusted. Du Ruhui said it very clearly... he doesn’t need money.
Not only does it cost money, a certain Iron Staff Temple in Chang'an City will, according to the agreement, give Du some "profit" to the next twenty years.
To expand the business, in addition to the excellent product, it also needs to be advertised.
Du Gou originally wanted to say that our family was not short of that amount of money, but later, Du Dalang knew that he was too young.
pattern.
Chang'an City has a population of one million, and is rich in the east and the west, so it follows the standards.
Du Xianggong said a lot about this. First of all, the cost is not high. He responded to the national call. He was also frugal in addition to "burying a little". Secondly, Mai Tiebang was the first "god" in the new dynasty in 20 years. His divine power is currently very strong. Major halls across the country live next to Mai Gong. Those who can deal with Mai Gong must be rich people. Finally, the emperor had just been wandering in Liaodong for two years, which was in line with Mai Gong's spirit and quietly flattered.
If the Chang'an rich man died in this situation and did not follow the trend and be familiar with him, what would he wait?
What if the emperor is happy? Even if the emperor is not interested, he still earns a reputation anyway, right?
In what month does Chang'an City not mean to die? But seriously, how many other companies can handle funerals? Just by following the excuse of imitating Xianggong Du, not only saved a lot of expenses, but also lived up to the face.
In this regard, Du Ruhui definitely "reduces burden" for the middle-aged and young generations in Chang'an City.
The reduction in funeral costs is a "lucky" for a family. There are so many families in Chang'an City, even if the cost is only one-tenth of the original cost, for the Iron Staff Temple, the total revenue scale is quite considerable.
And this money is to be given to Mr. Du.
Of course, it is impossible to discredit Du Xianggong on the surface. Those who play a role in the middle will naturally be dealt with by professionals.
However, the "dividend" of twenty years was enough to make Du Gou resign on the spot and refuse to do so. He would eat beef at home every day until he died.
As for other coffin boards similar to Du Xianggong's model, compared with the "bonus" of Chang'an City's funeral industry in the next 20 years, drizzle, absolutely drizzle...
"There is a seven-thing to open the door. If the firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea are like this, they will be rich enough to rival a country."
Fuel, staple food, seasonings, oil and water... These bulk materials, any of which are passed down from generation to generation. On the contrary, before Du Ruhui died, although he did not leave anything for the Du family's children on the surface, a funeral allowed all the Du family's children to participate in it.
This is even more amazing than how many connections and how much money you keep.
"Food, clothing, housing, transportation, birth, old age, sickness and death... Du Xiang's experience is so clever."
How many people can use their own deaths and funerals to change the economic consumption model of a place?
Perhaps the people in this place had such impulse and intention, and perhaps the place had these foundations and conditions, but if no one "escorts" it ultimately means there is no one.
At this moment, in Chang'an City, young people do not have to be ashamed of holding their ancestors' funerals too "humble", and the elderly no longer seek the strange "etiquette" that carries "blessings". Even for the officials of the court, "diege" and "filial piety" no longer have to continue to torture "filial piety" beyond imagination.
Duke of Cai Du Ruhui was a flag, standing there, covering up the "rumor" for this place.
Even the peddlers and women in the streets who participated, they could understand these things. No matter how "lively" the whole funeral was, in terms of the etiquette system, it was a "thin" funeral that could not be "thin" anymore.
"Stop it, these things... were you brought from Wuhan?"
"No, I stayed in Chang'an City a few years ago."
“…”
Li Zhen, with a pale face, looked at Zhang De with a calm face, and almost unsteady, slid down the mountain road.
If he hadn't held the edge of the carriage firmly, he would have really become famous and followed Du Xianggong to the underworld.
Looking at the rows of muzzles on the hill, Li Zhen's lips shivered: "That thing... won't be true, right?"
"Just listen to the sound of the cannon."
Zhang De replied, seeing Li Zhen’s face looked extremely ugly, and then said, “You always have to take something out and take a look, otherwise you would think Wuhan is bluffing… You don’t want to do something like that right away, right?”
"I don't want it, I really don't want it."
Li Zhen was so scared that he had never been to Wuhan, but he never expected that Zhang De would play so wildly.
However, Lao Zhang didn't tell Brother Li about some things. When Zuo Xiaowei was replaced, the emperor probably thought that the surname Zhang could only find a way from Zuo Xiaowei to "make trouble".
It is understandable to be wary of Zhang Gongjin's actions.
However, Lao Zhang's preparations for breaking up the face were even more rude than Li Zhen imagined.
The people who supervised the construction of the project were Ma Zhou, Shi Dazhong, and Kant... The person who used it was the subordinate of Cheng Yaojin, a self-smart old man. Cheng Chubi was an intermediary. Cheng Yaojin's subordinates checked things and did not recognize the goods, and then they easily let them go.
For more than ten years, I have helped to change it from time to time...
In addition to these, Lao Zhang also has double insurance. There are still dozens of "successful death squads" raised by Visel. In addition, there are also pine cannons in the properties of the east and west yards in the city. Of course, the thing is meaningless at one time, so Diaoyutai Workshop and the Military Arts Supervisor made a bronze cannon barrel under everyone's noses.
Everything is open and upright. No one knows what to do anyway. As long as it is not casting Nine Cauldrons, can people be rich and willful and do the bronze version of "do nothing"?
"Great send to Duke Cai——"
With a sound of sound, the cannon fire on the top of the mountain was like a dragon. In just a moment, the entire valley was shaking.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom boom-
The fire dragons erupted one after another. If they had not been tested by firecrackers and second kicks, it would have become strange if they were not overturned at this moment.
However, there is a fundamental difference between artillery fire and fireworks. Through the valley, you can only see bullet craters smashing from the opposite side, flying sand and rocks, and devastated.
A round of volley shots made the gravel on the opposite side even more shattered.
"clairvoyance!"
The awakened veteran immediately asked his companion to take out his treasures. The monocular telescope looked more clearly and clearly, only looking at the pits on the ground and the scenes of gravels being ravaged. The faces of these veterans suddenly changed slightly. Even if the mysterious armor was on his body, how could he be better than these gravels?
"Your Majesty..."
Kant's lips were trembling, thinking that someone was going to rebel, and that everything in Luoyang Palace had happened.
However, although Emperor Li looked surprised, he quickly recovered and suppressed his emotions and said, "Should you wait for a return, and summon the Jianghan Observation Envoy."
"yes!"
It wasn't about to cure his mouth. If nothing happened, Kant breathed a sigh of relief and became nervous. Summoned Zhang De? What are you doing? Should you prepare a knife and axe driver?
Kant was thinking about random things, and the old ministers of the two dynasties in the funeral procession were also thinking about random things. They didn't know that Emperor Li was going to summon Zhang De.
However, many people in the "Zhongyi Society" were energetic, and some even shouted in a low voice: "Xing Tianwu Gan Qi, his strong ambition is always there!"
