I was engaged in infrastructure construction in the Han Dynasty [Transmigration Book]

The so-called singing and dancing is what Liu Tan understands. In fact, it is written on the flow chart: Singing and praying around the farm tools.

The translation is that they will dance special dances around the plow and sing blessing songs.

And because all the officials participated in the plow trial, and the common people watched it, so when the time came, it was the common people who watched them, the high-ranking figures on weekdays, singing and dancing around the farm tools.

Liu Tan imagined that scene and felt that the whole person was about to suffocate. Who the hell came up with this?

However, in fact, this is the "wisdom" left by the ancestors.

Liu Tan couldn't sit still, so he directly called Zongzheng Huang Dan who was preparing for these things and asked, "I want to do it too?"

Zongzheng hesitated for a while and said, "It was personally arranged by the Prime Minister."

Well done Huo Guang!

Are you dragging people into the water even if you are unwilling to jump by yourself?

Liu Tan quickly called Huo Guang over and asked, "Why do you want me to pray with you? Isn't it enough for so many people to accompany you?"

Huo Guang looked at Liu Tan calmly and said, "The plow trial is of great significance. This is the first time His Highness presides over the plow trial. Last year, the northern border country didn't harvest much. His Highness prayed in person to convince the people more."

Liu Tan was puzzled: "How can I convince the people by going up in person? Can't you?"

Huo Guang's voice carried a hint of a smile: "It is rumored among the people that His Highness descended from the stars, so they naturally believe that His Highness is better than us."

Liu Tan: ...

He was still trying to die: "You also said it was their rumor!"

Huo Guang said, "It doesn't matter whether we believe it or not, but the people do."

Depend on!

Liu Tan looked down at the flow chart and sighed deeply: "I won't."

Huo Guang: ...

Well done, their Highness is only a little short of being ignorant.

But thinking about it, Liu Tan grew up in the Hou Mansion until he was 14 years old. It seems that this kind of thing is really not his turn.

Liu Tan thinks that dancing like a great god, in this era, people who can be selected to dance are either famous or have status, and most people can't dance, so this is actually an honorary job.

Huo Guang had no choice but to find someone to make up lessons for Liu Tan.

Liu Tan really never expected that he would learn to dance even at an early age. He imagined himself looking like a ponytail, and immediately shivered and said, "Simplify if you can, don't exaggerate."

Huo Guang was very serious immediately: "How can Your Highness fool the gods?"

Liu Tan almost blurted out: Just treat me like a fairy.

For the sake of his own life, he would rather be mistaken for a god!

Can dancing be learned by ordinary people?Who doesn't learn dance from childhood skills?With his stiff arms and legs, it would be a lot of trouble to learn it!

However, no matter how coquettish Liu Tan is, Huo Guang insists on not simplifying. The reason is that after simplifying, there is no sincerity and cannot move the sky. What if the sky is unhappy and does not make it rain?

There is very little rain in the northern border country, so don't offend the above.

Liu Tan looked up to the sky and screamed, but finally found time to take music and dance lessons.

The music class is okay. Although he doesn't really appreciate the temperament these days, it is not particularly difficult to learn. The only thing that is a bit awkward is that the temperament in ancient times is five tones instead of the seven tones that later generations are used to.

As for the dance, you don’t need to lean down, but it is simpler and more limited than these two movements. Because you are praying to the sky, many movements are done by leaning back to the sky, and at the same time, the movements of your feet must not be sloppy.

After studying for a few days, Liu Tan only felt that his arms and legs seemed to be stretched. Although his back was sore and his back hurt during the study, he had to say that the flexibility of his body had indeed improved a lot.

On the second day of February, Huo Guang had already prepared the plow, but was told not to use it at the end of the day. He knew that Liu Tan was bringing the public loser to tinker with something. Could it be that he was making a new plow?

Huo Guang took people to the field specially prepared for the plow trial. The field was surrounded by guards at this time, and there were people who came to watch outside. There is a huge monster covered by a red cloth.

After Huo Guang walked over, the officials bowed their hands and saluted him, and he saw Gong Shuchan standing behind him among the crowd.

On this occasion, Gongshu couldn't come because he didn't have an official position, and at most he just stood outside and watched.

Gong Shucan was not very familiar with all the officials present, so he could only stand by himself alone, Huo Guang thought for a while and waved to him, "Gong Shu Dong Guan."

Everyone's eyes immediately focused on Gong Shucan. Gong Shucan was nervous for a while, and his hands were sweating. He wiped his hands secretly, tried his best to stabilize his mind, walked in front of Huo Guang, and said: "I have seen the Prime Minister."

Huo Guang held his arm and said, "Don't be too polite, I called Dong Guan here just to inquire. The one covered by the red cloth is His Highness's new farm tool?"

Gong Shucan replied: "Yes, this is the northern border plow that His Highness drew and ordered his officials to make."

Huo Guang was a little surprised: "Beijingli?"

Gong Shucan said: "Yes, His Highness Li hasn't given a name yet, it's called by the officials casually."

Huo Guang asked, "How about this plow?"

Gong Shucan's eyes brightened: "His Royal Highness is truly unparalleled in the world. I am willing to bow down to you. Even if my ancestor, Gong Shuzi, is alive, I am afraid that I will become a confidant."

Huo Guang was a little surprised: "It's easy to use?"

Gong Shucan wanted to show off at first, but when he saw that Beijingli was still covered by a red cloth, he held back his desire to show off after thinking about it and said, "I also ask the Prime Minister to allow the next official to show off. Wait until your Highness comes down. You'll know if it works or not."

Huo Guang didn't make things difficult for him after hearing this, because at this time Liu Tan's frame had already appeared in front of everyone.

When Liu Tan got off the car, there was a commotion among the surrounding people, and the guards tightly clenched the spears in their hands, but it turned out that after the initial excitement, everyone obediently knelt down, and none of them wanted to rush. past.

Today's Liu Tan's clothes are not particularly complicated. After all, he is going to go to the ground, so he dresses a little more concisely. He wears a jade crown and a dark black coat. The wrist bones and the gold and jade seal hanging on the waist are neat and elegant.

After Liu Tan got off the car, all the officials headed by Huo Guang saluted him. The smile on his face was just right, and he slightly raised his hand and said, "You don't need to be too polite."

Huo Guang walked up to Liu Tan and asked in a low voice, "Your Highness, why didn't you tell me about the new plow?"

Liu Tan turned his head and winked at him quietly: "There is no surprise if I said it earlier."

Huo Guang was expressionless: "I'm only surprised, not happy yet."

Liu Tan raised his eyebrows and said softly, "Wait a minute, I'm sure you'll be overjoyed."

Huo Guang didn't say anything more. It is not appropriate for the king and the prime minister to have too many private exchanges on such an occasion.

Liu Tan stepped forward, nodded to the little official standing beside him, and the little official immediately shouted: "Start."

After the little official shouted, several people stepped forward and lifted the red cloth.

Everyone was amazed. Although everyone was restraining themselves from making too much noise, but so many people uttered together, no matter how small the sound was, it would be multiplied.

The conventional plow... The latter said that the plow in the north today has too much impact on people.

Not to mention the complex structure of the entire plow body, just looking at the volume is very impactful.

Even Huo Guang was a little shocked. He knew just now that the plow was too small just by looking at the size of the red cloth, but he couldn’t help but be fascinated by it after seeing it—this plow is full of the beauty of the fusion of primitive simplicity and modern machinery. For people nowadays, even if they have never seen it before, they will still be dormant by this beauty.

Everyone is curious to see how the plow works, but before they start, they have to dance the big god, oh, no, it's worship.

Headed by Liu Tan, the rest of the officials lined up in order, but the space was limited after all, and many officials who were not of high rank could only stand aside and watch.

Liu Tan met their envious and eager eyes and felt very bitter. After they started singing and dancing to the music, he occasionally glanced at the people surrounding him, and suddenly felt like an orangutan in a zoo.

Fortunately, this week, which in the eyes of others is a symbol of honor, but in his eyes is equivalent to embarrassment, is over.

The other officials withdrew, leaving only Liu Tan and Huo Guang standing beside the plow in the northern border.

The little official led the cow over and put the drawbar on the cow. Liu Tan didn't realize it until this time-he didn't seem to have learned how to drive the cow before.

He took a peek at Huo Guang, and found that although Huo Guang had a calm face, his tightly clenched fists showed that he was not calm inside.

Well, well, it wasn't just him who was nervous.

The two of them took over the exquisitely crafted whip, and Liu Tan was a little nervous for a moment. Should the whip be hit on the cow?

What if the cow refuses to go if you don't hit it?If he hit it, what if he didn't grasp the strength well and hurt the cow and caused it to go crazy?

Thinking of this, Liu Tan suddenly regretted it. He knew that he should have rehearsed in advance!

He glanced at Huo Guang, only to see that Huo Guang was also looking at him, his eyes were quite indescribable.

Liu Tan suddenly understood that it was probably the first time that Huo Guang presided over this matter, and he didn't even think of it because of his lack of experience.

However, at this time, you have to bite the bullet to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Liu Tan and Huo Guang raised their hands slightly, and just as they were about to make a whipping motion, they heard someone next to them drink.

So he and Huo Guang didn't drop their whips, and the two cows in front had already started to move forward.

Liu Tan was a little surprised, and glanced at Lin Xiu next to him. After seeing the admiration in Liu Tan's eyes, Lin Xiu knew that he had made the right arrangement.

Although the Prime Minister didn't say it, Lin Xiu was more careful. No one expected these two to be able to drive cattle. Naturally, they had to find cattle that were docile enough, and they had to be trained well in advance to avoid mistakes.

Lin Xiu spent a lot of energy on this matter, but fortunately, all of this is rewarded.

After the plow was finished smoothly, Liu Tan and Huo Guang both heaved a sigh of relief and allowed the little official to carry the Beijing plow aside.

Huo Guang couldn't help frowning when he saw the direction they were lifting: "Your Highness, the direction is reversed."

Liu Tan smiled slightly: "Don't worry."

Huo Guang saw his expression and knew that there was still someone behind.

At this time, there was some commotion among the people, or they just discovered that the plow body was reversed, and the people could naturally see it.

Just when they thought there was something wrong with the clerks, they saw the two clerks walk to the side of the plow and didn't know how to operate it, and saw the traction frame overturned.

Even the sharp-eyed shouted directly: "The coulter...the coulter has turned around!"
