PNB Chapter 299
Chapter 299
It was snowing heavily today, and the road was covered with thick snowflakes. Qi Cheng did not drive out today, but took the bus directly to the city.
After finishing his work, it was not yet time for dinner, so Qi Cheng took a stroll and came to a park. The history of this place is quite long, dating back to more than a hundred years ago.
Not far from the gate was a dilapidated stone tablet. Qi Cheng took a look at it and found that it was a hundred years old and recorded the process of building this park.
On the back are the names of some businesses that invested in it back then. After looking at them carefully, I found that these shops should no longer exist, at least I have no impression of them.
Pity.
The businesses outside the canopy were quite excited. They donated money to build this place, which was actually a bit like a levy, but they didn't expect that it would be preserved by later generations.
It can be said that his name will be passed down through the ages.
The money was really not wasted.
Qing Dynasty
Seeing the business names on the inscription, Heshen sat at home and pondered. There are many oil mills here, and the money donated is not small. Could it be that these oil mills are so profitable?
Should I intervene?
"Master, I don't think something is right. How many people these days can afford to eat oil? Even if they produce it, how can they sell it? I think it might be because the social conditions back then were different..."
Heshen frowned, he was also thinking about this problem.
"Xiao Wuzi is overthinking it. This oil can be stored for a long time. They don't necessarily sell it in Dengzhou. What kind of place is that? The host has already talked about it before."
Heshen slapped his head. That place is the hometown of chefs. Most of the restaurants in the capital are now run by them, so it is very likely that the oil used is also from there.
Where can I start to benefit?
……
Although it is the coldest time of the year, there is still a bit of greenery in the park with bamboo and pine trees planted. Walking on the stone road, Qi Cheng feels quite relaxed.
It would be better if it wasn't so cold.
Following a small path, Qi Cheng came to a yard. The pond here was very shallow and several lotus flowers had completely withered.
After randomly walking into a room and looking at the things on display inside, Qi Cheng realized that this was a place to watch a play.
"This place is really nice, and the scenery is beautiful. I guess not everyone could come in before." The people outside the canopy sighed, "This building is also beautifully built."
"Yes, it would be more beautiful in summer."
"What is that thing? How come people in later generations are so smart..."
The sky screen showed several children running into the yard, holding a toy in their hands, and they picked up the snow on the ground, and a lifelike little duck appeared.
There are also little people, pigs and other things.
Tang Dynasty
"Brother, do you think the craftsmen in the palace can make it? Although we don't have the materials, it shouldn't be difficult to make one out of wood. I also want to take this out to play."
Li Chengqian shook his head. It was indeed not easy to make one with wood, but it should not be too difficult to cast one with metal.
"Let's go find our mother. I guess our father is too busy to take care of us right now."
It turned out that after watching the morning's live broadcast, Li Shimin was also deeply shocked. Several ministers went to the palace early to discuss a good solution.
Li Tai stood at the palace gate and whispered to Li Chengqian, "Your Majesty, father, is a little overly worried. The sky is fine, but it's the lower class people who are poor. People like us don't have to worry at all."
"We don't have to worry, but Father does. After all, we are all citizens of the Tang Dynasty."
........
Qi Cheng walked around the house and came to another yard. Before he could take a closer look, something not far away caught his attention.
An artist created a dragon with snow on the wall. Although it is not yet fully completed, the level of detail is already breathtaking.
No matter how people’s hands are, just a random pile of them can be a work of art.
I can't even make a big, round snowball.
The people outside the sky were even more amazed. People in the north said that they had not yet made such a thing, and even snowmen were only made by children.
Many clever people have already planned to try it.
The people in the south were even more envious, as they had never played in the snow. Of course, this idea only came from some young ladies and young masters from aristocratic families.
Qing Dynasty
Emperor Qianlong was no longer angry. There were too many cases of usurpation in later generations. Making a dragon out of snow was not a big deal. It was much better than the previous saying that Long was a dog.
"Come here, have the palace masters build a dragon in the garden. It should be bigger than the one on the canopy, and have five claws."
Several young eunuchs hurried to convey the order.
The director of the Imperial Household Department sighed silently. Although it was snowing now, this project had never existed before. He wondered if the craftsmen could build it.
Because of the influence of Tianmu, the emperor is now very picky about the Imperial Household Department. He has already killed a general manager of the Imperial Household Department, and he cannot afford to be punished as well.
It's all because of the sky curtain that the Ministry of Internal Affairs has a hard time, otherwise we should be living a good life now.
……
Qi Cheng continued walking until he reached the highest point of the park, where he found a temple dedicated to the God of Wealth. Feeling that his fortune was not good this year, Qi Cheng quickly knelt down and kowtowed.
I hope the God of Wealth will bless me to make a fortune next year.
The people outside the sky also knelt down. Since even the host knelt down, it was reasonable for them to kneel down as well. What if the God of Wealth also blessed them?
Although some of these gods of wealth have not appeared yet.
Zhang Fei of the Three Kingdoms period looked carefully and found that the God of Wealth was indeed his second brother. Look how majestically he held the sword, all the demons and monsters were chopped down.
No, this is not about exorcising demons, it is about attracting wealth and treasure.
Shang Dynasty
Wen Ding was stunned when he saw the statue of Bigan. His son was indeed an outstanding person, but why was he revered as the God of Wealth? What was the secret behind this?
He didn't know when he would be able to draw someone from the Shang Dynasty, so he had a lot of questions to ask.
The technologies introduced by Tianmu are really too difficult to use.
Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period
Seeing that Fan Li also became the God of Wealth, some people who knew him understood what was going on. This man was indeed good at doing business.
Do you want to try it yourself? Look at the incense offerings, it's really enviable, and there is such a tall statue, I'm really envious.
……
After Qi Cheng finished praying here, he strolled through the park and arrived at the entrance. Looking out from here, there was a large shopping mall not far away.
Retro and modern are less than a mile apart.
