"What do you mean by inferior firecrackers? What do you mean by superior firecrackers? These things are called fireworks! "
In the Yunshan residence, Li Zexuan looked at Li Tai, whose face was full of resentment, and said unhappily.
"Uh! Fireworks? "
Li Tai was stunned. The day before yesterday, when they came to Li Zexuan's place to make firecrackers, Li Zexuan did not tell them that those things were fireworks! However, when he thought of the scene last night, the little fatty narrowed his eyes and sighed. "Yes! Fireworks is a good name! It's worthy of its name! When that thing exploded in the sky last night, it did look like a flower! "
"Yes, yes! This name sounds better than firecrackers! "
Sun Zifan also nodded and said, "Yamachō, do you have any more of those fireworks from last night? We want to make a few ourselves. We can even buy them! "
"Yes, yes! That's right! Yamachō, do you have any more? We can even buy some with money! "
Li Tai agreed.
Li Ke, Zhangsun Chong, and the others looked over eagerly. Obviously, they had the same idea. They were the children of officials and did not lack money. However, the eyes of the rest of the students behind them dimmed. Not everyone in Yanhuang College came from wealthy families. However, Li Zexuan's next sentence made their eyes light up.
Li Zexuan shook his head and said, "I don't have any more of those fireworks at the moment! The workshop is stepping up production. However, you don't have to pay for them. I plan to hold a fireworks show at the college during the New Year. All students can watch it for free! Take it as a thank you to the students for your hard work in Operation Warm Winter at the end of this year! "
"Oh! Thank you so much, Yamachō! "
"Yamachō is so generous!"
As soon as Li Zexuan finished speaking, many students who lived in other places and could not go home for the New Year because of the long distance suddenly cheered loudly.
At this moment, they really felt that this winter break was worth it!
No one in the college could deny the beauty of last night's fireworks. Moreover, these fireworks were currently unique in the entire Tang Empire and could not be bought with money. From this, one could see how precious they were. However, Li Zexuan did not hesitate to take out a large number of fireworks for the college students to celebrate the New Year. how could they not be moved? How could they not cheer?
"Yamachō, how many fireworks will we set off?"
Class One's Ke Shiqing asked loudly.
His hometown was in the Bashu region, and he couldn't go home for the New Year either. This year was his first time celebrating the New Year in another place. Although it was Chang 'an, the capital of the Tang Empire, no matter how good it was outside, it couldn't compare to the warmth of home! Going home for the New Year was something that the Chinese would never be able to let go of! However, Li Zexuan's actions made him feel some familiarity!
"Yamacha Yamachō! How many fireworks will be set off during the fireworks display? "
The rest of the students reacted and asked in unison.
Last night, Li Zexuan had set off sixty-four fireworks. Although it was far more than the previous nine, many people felt that it wasn't enough to satisfy their cravings.
Li Zexuan smiled and announced an even more exciting news. "Haha! Shiqing, I can't answer your question. I don't know how many fireworks I will set off because I plan to set off two hours! "
"Two hours?"
Everyone's breathing quickened and their eyes widened. Some people were frantically calculating how many fireworks they could set off in two hours. However, they were confused because it was impossible to calculate!
"Thank you, Yamachō!"
"Thank you, Yamachō!"
No matter how many fireworks there were, there would be a lot of fireworks! This time, the students could fully feast their eyes. Therefore, they cheered to their hearts' content. Their voices were so loud that it gave Lan 'er, who was in the backyard, a big fright!
Li Tai, Sun Zifan, Zhangsun Chong, and the other officials' children were depressed. They had to go back to Chang 'an for the New Year. In that case, wouldn't they only be able to watch the gorgeous sky in Chang' an?
Most of the students were satisfied with the answer. However, Li Tai and the others did not leave. The little fatty came up and said with a smile, "That … Yamachō, I wonder if there will be more fireworks? Every year during the New Year in the palace, it's boring! If there aren't any fireworks to liven things up, it won't be perfect! "
"Yes, yes, yes!"
Zhangsun Chong, Sun Zifan, and the others nodded in agreement.
Li Zexuan thought for a while and said, "It's hard to say. Even if there are some left, there probably won't be many! Qingque, if you want some, it's best to wait until next year! "
"Next year?"
Li Tai opened his eyes wide and shook his head. "We can't wait! Yamachō, can't you ask the workshop to send more people to make more? "
What a joke! After seeing the charm of fireworks, Li Tai felt that waiting for one more day was too much, let alone waiting for next year!
Li Zexuan said angrily, "You brat, it's easy for you to say that! Don't you know how many days are left until the New Year? Do you know how long it takes for the workshop to prepare the fireworks for the academy? If you really want to see the fireworks, just come to the academy! On the night of the New Year, the academy will start to set off the fireworks at a quarter past midnight. You can come after dinner in Chang 'an City! Coincidentally, the curfew in Chang 'an City will be lifted that night! "
In order to maintain the security of the capital, the Tang Dynasty followed the curfew system of the Han Dynasty. Of course, the walls could protect the safety of the people, but at the same time, it restricted their freedom and affected their livelihood. According to the rules, on special days such as the Lantern Festival, the workshop could stay open all night. On these days, the people would be so excited that they would usually celebrate all night!
"That's the only way!"
Li Tai muttered gloomily. Suddenly, his eyes lit up and he said, "Oh right, Yamachō! Why don't you set the fireworks show in Chang 'an City! At that time, the people in Chang 'an City can feast their eyes! "
In fact, these were all excuses. He was just too lazy to run errands. After all, Chang 'an City was more than 20 miles away from Yunshan City!
Li Zexuan frowned and said, "There are many people in Chang 'an City, and the houses are close together. If we set off the fireworks on a large scale, it will easily cause a big fire! When His Majesty blames us, who can bear the responsibility? "
Although he said so, Li Zexuan thought in his heart, "Your master is now grounded in Yunshan City. If the fireworks show is changed to Chang 'an City, I won't be able to watch it!"
The master and disciple looked amiable on the surface, but they actually started a battle of wits and courage in secret. In the end, Li Tai gave up and said, "Alright then! When the time comes, we'll come to the academy to watch the fireworks show! "
"Oh right! Yamachō! Last night, the people in Chang 'an City also saw the fireworks at Yunshan City. My father even sent someone over to ask what happened! "
Before leaving, Li Tai suddenly whispered to Li Zexuan.
