I am engaged in construction in Datang

The bright jade plate conveys sorrow, the sparkling autumn water carries love. The jade towers and pavilions, the golden cups and silver bowls, the moonlight in front of the hall, awaken several pairs of old shadows.

Hebei Road.

Today's Eastern Turkic headquarters.

An old Turkic man was shaking all over, his lips quivering. He raised his big palm like a palm leaf fan and slammed the person opposite him against the wall.

"Brewed, specially brewed by you!"

He yelled angrily, but didn't know what to do.

This is not something that can be resolved by simply tying the person up and reporting back. He and the other party are related by blood.

"Ashina Society, you are trying to kill me!"

Everything was going well. The other party was working in Beijing, and he was managing the tribe here.

The King of Tang also trusted him and was willing to give him more power so that everyone could stay in the territory of the Tang Dynasty and no longer have to return to the barren grassland.

But the Ashina Society actually sent people to assassinate Master Li!

Although he didn't go to the capital often, he knew very well how important Master Li was. Which of the noble families behind the officials in the court had not been favored by Master Li?

"Simple interest, simple interest!"

Ashina Jieshe pulled himself off the wall and shouted, "If we don't stop Li Yin, will we ever be able to make a name for ourselves in the future?"

He was not submissive to the King of Tang, and the position bestowed on him by the King was not high, at least not as high as that of Tuli Khan.

Now that Ketuli Khan is dead, shouldn't he be given the position?

It’s better to return to the grassland and be their king.

"So not only did you fail, but you also ran back in a mess after your failure!" The old man became even more angry. Since you failed, why should you just stay where you are and wait to be beheaded? Why did you run back to harm your compatriots?

"Someone, tie him up for me!"

The old man paced back and forth, his mind working frantically. What should he do now?

If this idiot had taken action two years later, he would not be as passive as he is now.

"Let's run first." The old man gritted his teeth and was about to take action when he heard neat footsteps outside the house. He felt a chill in his heart and ran out.

I saw a team of well-trained soldiers surrounding his mansion, and the leading general was riding on a tall horse, looking very heroic.

The other party pointed the horse spear at him and said, "Ashina Shanli, do you admit your guilt?"

The old man knelt down and said, "It's unfair, it's unfair to me..."

Tears streamed down my face. It was all over this time. I didn't know if I could survive.

The general looked at the other party and was too lazy to make things difficult for them. He gestured to the soldiers behind him and said, "Search, find out the Ashina Society!"

In a short while, Ashina Jieshe, tied up behind his back, was thrown in front of the general.

"Take them all away and report back."

A group of Turks were within the territory of the Tang Dynasty. They were like lambs to be slaughtered. They were captured without any resistance.

The remaining nearly 100,000 people are all civilians, and there will be special people to manage them.

……

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival.

Liuweizhai also has activities.

People took time out to come and buy good goods, and then hurried home to harvest in autumn.

"Buy wool and knit new clothes, so you don't have to worry about the cold winter. The colorful clothes are really beautiful, and every household will smile!"

"Wool has many uses. It can be used to make scarves, gloves and hats. In winter, I wear a set of wool. It keeps me warm and doesn't hurt."

"Today's wool yarn is on sale. Each roll only costs 20 coins. 200 coins for 10 rolls and you can knit a sweater!"

Several children stood in front of the door of Liuweizhai, holding hands and singing and spinning around.

If they sang well, Liuweizhai would give them milk candies, no matter how many children came.

The publicity was very effective, and many people who came to buy food would ask about the wool.

"My dear, how big is this curl of yarn?"

"The small ones are 50 grams per roll, 12 wen per roll, and the big ones are 100 grams, 20 wen per roll." The young lady smiled and took out wool of various colors.

"Look, the model is wearing a sweater!" The young lady pointed to two wooden figures displayed nearby, one male and one female, both covered in woolen fabrics.

Wool hats, scarves, sweaters, gloves, and woolen pants are all available.

"Can I touch it?" The man became interested. He had heard of this wool before. It was often used by high officials to weave toys and bicycle seat covers.

"Of course." The young lady nodded in agreement. The model was placed outside the door for everyone to touch and see.

Hearing this, the man wiped his hands on his clothes and then reached out carefully.

The touch was soft. He wrapped the sweater around his hands and indeed felt a lot warmer.

"Sir, in winter, you can wear a sweater under a coat to keep warm. We used to sell it for 150 coins, but now it's much cheaper."

"Then..." The man gritted his teeth and said, "Give me two pounds!"

Two catties means two hundred coins, which would take him three or four days' work.

"Okay, what color do you want?"

"Red, it looks festive." The man said, "What if I don't know how to weave?"

"We have someone to teach us here!" The young lady was not worried about this problem at all. As long as she taught one or two people, thousands of them would be able to do it in the future.

"Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. We have launched a large mooncake. Would you like to buy some and try it?"

As she spoke, the young lady pointed to the food in the bamboo basket beside her. The mooncake was huge, as long as half an arm.

The young lady picked up a small piece of sample with a toothpick and handed it to the man.

"Try it, it tastes really good."

The big mooncake has several layers when cut. The outer skin is golden and crispy, with a layer of crystal clear milky glutinous rice inside. The lavender taro paste is connected to the glutinous rice, and there are yellow egg yolk and meat floss in the innermost layer.

The man put it in his mouth and closed his eyes to feel it.

The mooncake crust has a strong milky flavor and melts in your mouth. After chewing it twice, you can smell the sweet and soft rice aroma, paired with the sandy and soft taro paste. When you are about to get tired of it, the salty and fragrant egg yolk and meat floss come to the fore and wash away the sweetness.

The taste is so rich that you can't stop eating it.

"Young lady!" The man opened his eyes and couldn't help asking, "How much is this big mooncake?"

This big one is enough for his family of six.

"68 Wen." The young lady smiled and said, "We mainly sell taro paste and egg yolk fillings here, of course we also have cowpea glutinous rice, black sesame and pineapple."

"Would you like a four-piece set?"

68 words!

This is not cheap!

But today is Mid-Autumn Festival, and my wife, children and mother haven’t eaten anything good for a long time, so I might as well buy a big mooncake to liven up the atmosphere.

"Then let's do a four-piece match."

“Okay.” The young lady placed the mooncakes with four kinds of fillings on paper, wrapped them up neatly, tied them up with hemp rope, and handed them to the man.

It’s so big that it can’t be hidden.

After taking the wool and mooncakes, the man also bought some Beijing fruit bars and carried them home together.

Today is Mid-Autumn Festival. The whole family will get together to enjoy the moon in the evening, put out big moon cakes and snacks, and have a great time.

……

A banquet was held in the palace and all officials were invited.

Fang Xuanling came with his wife and children in a horse-drawn carriage. They must drink today. Master Li said that one should not ride a horse after drinking, and everyone remembered it.
