The float was equipped with various lights and decorated with various outfits, which was very gorgeous. The first car was shaped with a war horse, and the front hooves were in the air. A knight on it held the reins in one hand and raised the battle flag high, pointing straight ahead.

When Shisanlang saw it, he pointed at it excitedly and said, "This is the float of our cavalry. Look, is it majestic?"

Bao Zheng nodded: "This car is very good! It is gorgeous and has awe-inspiring power. The knight in front is the finishing touch, which makes people know where it comes from at a glance. It's just that it's a bit too complicated, with too many decorations and too many lights, which is inconsistent with the concise meaning of the soldier."

Shisanlang said: "We soldiers and wars only know how lively we are, and there is no longer the literary artistic conception of Longtu."

Everyone laughed together.

These floats were made by Du Zhongxiao according to the Lantern Festival floats in his memory, and he had never seen them at this time. Whether this was an ancient Chinese style or later generations came from Western learning, Du Zhongxiao didn't know. Anyway, it was a festival, and several powerful departments took the train to join in the fun. The battle was won and the territory was expanded, and a ceremony was needed to celebrate. The spontaneous power of the people was not enough, so the government and the army took the lead.

After a while, the artillery float came over, which was similar to the style of the cavalry, except that the head of the car was changed to a cannon and a soldier was just turning it into a medicine twist.

Where this car passed by, the onlookers cheered. The artillery in Tanglong Town showed its power, and killed Yelu Zongzhen in one round of heavy artillery, and at the same time annihilated dozens of Khitan generals. Everyone knew that the artillery was powerful. After that battle, the artillery reached its peak, both in the official and the civilian states.

Bao Zheng also nodded repeatedly: "I killed the monarch of a great country with one shot and obtained several states. Since then, everyone knows that artillery is a magic weapon of a great country!"

Du Zhongxiao heard this and smiled without saying a word. One shot? That time, Yao Shouxin's heavy artillery fired more than ten rounds, hundreds of shells, which was converted into money, enough for thousands of Shisanlang's cavalry to eat for several days. The artillery was powerful and a monster to swallow gold, but not a light shot that was decaying dozens of miles.

The floats from Dongsheng Prefecture and several army troops came over, and behind them were large merchant trains in the prefecture city, which became much smaller in scale. When we arrived at the place where Du Zhongxiao, Bao Zheng and others watched the floats, the drums and music were sounding together, and it was very lively.

When the Khitan withdraws its troops, most merchants and their wealth are taken away, and a few stayed through various means. In the past one or two months, one side effect is that the public security is good. The roads in the city do not pick up the remains at night and do not close the doors at night, and it looks peaceful. Commercial activities are quickly restored, and these remaining merchants get benefits and are grateful to Du Zhongxiao.

After arriving all the way, one person raised a sheep and hung two lamps on the horn. A few of them next to him were twitching with each hand and one lamp, just like the yangko dance of later generations.

Du Zhongxiao looked interesting, and saw that Wang Pu and Bai Ze were following behind him, and ordered the people around him to call them up.

The two of them came on stage and hurriedly saluted the officials standing on top.

Du Zhongxiao pointed to the last line and said, "Is this last lantern from your family?"

Wang Pu bowed: "When I go back to the business, I hired someone to pretend to be. The little one has no wealth, so I can only afford to hire these people, and I laugh at you."

Du Zhongxiao said: "This is a folk entertainment, not a time for comparison. It is rare to join in the fun and do your best. If you and I don't dislike each other, stand here and watch the fireworks behind you."

Before he finished speaking, a sharp roar, a firework flew into the air, and the "bang" exploded, and a flower bloomed in the air. Immediately afterwards, various fireworks rushed into the air, exploded into various shapes, illuminating half of the night sky.

Looking at the colorful night sky, Wang Pu murmured: "I don't want to see such a prosperous scene in my life!"

Not only the people on the stage, but even the people watching the lights on the streets were all looking at the fireworks in the sky and were infatuated. In this bitter and cold place, where did ordinary people have ever seen such a scene? They didn't even dare to think about it.

Bao Zheng looked around, then looked at the fireworks in the sky, and said to Du Zhongxiao: "The place is peaceful and the people are happy. This is the peaceful atmosphere!"

Du Zhongxiao nodded without saying a word. Although the lands of several states along Hequ Road are still bloody, for ordinary Han people and those peaceful Fandao, they really deserve peace in the world. This kind of peace is something they have never seen in their lives.

This time, the Shangyuan lantern watching, the float parade and fireworks, the Manager spent a lot of money. This money is worth it. Not only everyone is happy, but it also announces the arrival of a new era and the end of the old era. Du Zhongxiao needs a ceremony to announce to these hundreds of miles.

The moon is rising, and the streets are still crowded and lively. Many people did not expect that the businessmen did not open the door and the vendors did not do business. After the fireworks were set off, many vendors ran home and hurriedly brought goods out, shouting and selling in the stream. The owners of shops along the street opened the door with lights and attracted customers.

Du Zhongxiao, Bao Zheng and others returned to the Houya and set up a banquet to welcome the newly arrived Zhang Ke and others.

Du Zhongxiao raised his glass and said to Zhang Ji: "This wine was given by the queen, and was originally used for the Shangyuan Festival banquet in the army, and welcomed the general."

Zhang Ke raised his glass respectfully, drank it all in one go, thanked Du Zhongxiao before he sat down again.

After the Tang Long Zhensheng, not only did the emperor give him imperial wine, but also the official wine given by the court and the private wine sent by the princes and ministers in the capital. Du Zhongxiao could not remember how many kinds of wine were delivered to the front line in the name of celebration. The army drank in a variety of ways and never finished it. Before the New Year, as the wine used in the New Year and Shangyuan Festivals, Emperor Zhao Zhen and Empress Cao each gave him wine, which happened to be used to entertain Zhang Ji.

After three rounds of drinking, the atmosphere became. Shisanlang and Yao Shouxin took turns to go forward and compete with Zhang Ke for a drink, which was very lively.

Bao Zheng and Du Zhongxiao sat aside, both drinking and not participating in them.

After drinking a few cups, Bao Zheng said to Du Zhongxiao: "In the past month, more than 200 foreign people have been killed and more than 500 people have been exiled because of the case of Shaoyao and other Han women. Hedong Luzhou Army, almost all the prefectures and prefectures have prisoners who have flowed through us. Because of this case, the people of the foreign troops in several states were panic, and there were several rebellions from the clan. Although the states were prepared for a long time and had not caused great chaos, they could not continue like this. The case of Shaoyao has been roughly found out. Most of the foreign troops who committed the crime now sell other Han people as slaves. Can we stop?"

Du Zhongxiao said: "The General Secretary has made a clear statement. Those who commit crimes before the troops of this dynasty have arrived and before the list of documents have been released will not be asked about them. Those who commit crimes later will not take the imperial orders seriously and humiliate the imperial court. How can they not investigate if they do not investigate?"

Bao Zheng said: "But the first report to the officials now are mostly old cases, not slave traders in the past two months. The cases investigated in the past ten days are all remote foreign tribes, and there are Han slaves in the tribe, but they are only reported first without knowing the government's orders."

Du Zhongxiao was silent for a while and asked Bao Zheng: "What should we do with the view of the dragon map?"

Bao Zheng said, "Let's just end this matter. He ordered all the foreign tribes under the jurisdiction of various places to be punished within ten days. Anyone with Han slaves immediately reported to the officials and released Han slaves as good men. Those who have nowhere to go shall accept them and enter the fields of various camps. If those who do not release them within a specified period of time are punished first, they will be punished severely. What do the master thinks?"

Du Zhongxiao nodded slowly: "This is possible. However, Longtu is afraid that there will be those stubborn people who will not be sent to the official position!"

Bao Zheng sighed: "Then what else can I do? I'm just punishing it. I'm afraid that this matter has not ended for a long time. Everyone in the country is afraid of it and cannot settle down. This is a foreign land, and only the Han people cannot live a peaceful life, while the foreign people are frightened."

Du Zhongxiao said: "For these people, the king's flag changes on the top of the city. No matter which country they enter, they live their lives. This time, the connection is so wide and the punishment is so heavy, so I want to tell them that it is different from before. Longtu thinks it should be settled, so let's end it like this. With a few sentences on the list, there will be people who dare to commit crimes in the future. The first culprit will be killed immediately and the followers will be killed! Among the foreign tribes, such things cannot be hidden from the leader. If the leader is the main culprit, he will be killed naturally. If it is not the main culprit, then all the people will be transferred to other states! The foreign tribes will be disbanded and organized into various camps and fields!"

Bao Zheng was silent for a while, nodded and said, "Okay, that's it!"

It has been two months since Du Zhongxiao entered Dongshengzhou. After two months, the crowds were rolling, and it really couldn't continue. Bao Zheng always felt that Du Zhongxiao was deliberately targeting the various foreign troops, not just because of the case. Without that big case, Du Zhongxiao might have used other excuses to deal with the various foreign troops. But Du Zhongxiao never said that, and Bao Zheng was not easy to ask.

After more than ten days of contact, Bao Zheng could feel that Du Zhongxiao was not targeting the foreign people. In fact, under the rule of Hequlu, there was no discrimination policy against the foreign people, and it was roughly the same as the Han people. The only difference was that the Han people used the Han method. When the foreign people belonged to the foreign tribe, they used the foreign methods and the dead. Du Zhongxiao targeted the foreign tribe. As long as the foreign tribe was disbanded, they would not treat the lower foreign people harshly. Bao Zheng really had nothing to say about this attitude.
