Chapter 242: The Most Dangerous Profession in Tang Country, Woodcutter
"Buzz~~"
The arrow missed and hit the tree not far away.
The leopard was frightened and turned around to run away. Liu Chang chased after it on horseback. Liu Chang fired again and again. He fired several rounds, but his accuracy was not very good. Liu Chang couldn't hold his breath and shot easily before he took aim. This made him
The hit rate was very touching. The leopard fled in all directions. Liu Chang saw that he had missed several shots and the leopard was about to disappear into the bushes. He couldn't help but became furious. He suddenly jumped off the horse and headed towards
He threw the spear in his hand in the direction of the leopard.
With a wailing cry, the leopard was pinned to the ground, fluttered a few times, and then fell to the ground.
Liu Chang was overjoyed, stepped forward, kicked him a few times, and cursed: "Let you run away again!"
Only then did the soldiers catch up with the king and stood beside Liu Chang, "The king's magic shot... uh... the king's magic throw!"
Liu Chang raised his head and laughed. There are still ferocious beasts in various places today. Some can harm people, and some can injure domestic animals. Therefore, ferocious beasts are also serious harm. Of course, in areas like Jinyang where there are more people, ferocious beasts
There are still relatively few beasts, but in some mountains and forests in Taiyuan, Shangdang, ferocious beasts often come to harm people.
And if these ferocious beasts attack domestic animals, they often will not stop when they are ready. Instead, they will kill all the livestock and take away one of them... Because of the long-term war with the Xiongnu, the animal husbandry of the Tang State was very developed.
There are a lot of cattle and sheep,
Horses, dolphins, chickens, etc. Every time he harvested materials, Liu Chang liked to distribute them to people everywhere for them to raise. This is probably the reason why the Tang people were warlike. Those who participated in the war could get titles, but those who did not participated in the war
The common people can also benefit from it.
Liu Chang won the hearts of the people in the Tang Dynasty. On the one hand, it was because of his personal bravery, which was passed down orally in the Tang Dynasty and was filled with too much mystery. On the other hand, Liu Chang was quite good to the people, and may not be as good as Zhao Wang, Wu Wang and others.
Because Liu
The chief often collected corvees, built roads, built cities, and transported grain... But he was not in vain. He worked for the king of Tang, and he could eat meat. On the contrary, he was like King Zhao, who treated the people
It's very good, but the people of Zhao still don't have enough to eat.
Liu Changren put away the body and asked proudly: "Is there any memorial?"
The reason why Liu Chang came here to hunt was not a temporary decision, but a report from the local government that there were ferocious beasts that were harming people, so he came to eliminate the ferocious beasts. Luan Bu shook his head, "No more... they were all killed by the king."
It’s clean...it’s time for the king to go back.”
"Your Majesty... If we kill these ferocious beasts excessively, then other animals will have no natural enemies, and hares and the like will harm the cultivated land..."
Luan Bu persuaded, "Okay, okay, stop talking, I know it!"
"Is there an envoy from King Zhao?"
"Not yet."
Liu Chang mounted his horse and led everyone towards the county seat. Luan Bu whispered: "Your Majesty, King Zhao helped the Tang State send troops before and suffered heavy casualties... More than 10,000 people died on the front line...
.We should make some compensation.”
"I know."
"This time Yan State is going to conquer Liaodong, and the reason why the temple can agree is because of the king... I think that although King Yan is close to you, he is not in harmony with the kings and is ambitious..."
"What, do you think King Yan is going to rebel?"
"That's not true... Although King Yan is arbitrary, he has never even ridden in a six-carriage chariot... He has never acted arbitrarily."
Liu Chang always felt that Luan Bu's words had other meanings.
"It's just that King Yan's military behavior is definitely not a good thing... When we meet, please slow down, I think he has the idea of forcing the king to take the throne, which is very dangerous... Zhang Buyi is just a court official.
Lieutenant, even if you have such an idea, you can't do anything, but although King Yan's country is weak, it is still a prince..."
"I know! Don't worry!"
They chatted and entered the city. Liu Chang didn't like to be disturbed when hunting, so he dressed in casual clothes. Except for the local magistrate, no one knew that he was the king. He went hunting in various places and also liked to make up his own identity.
, he said that he was a descendant of the Taiwei family.
"Your Majesty, there is also the matter about Xia Wuji... A letter came just now, saying that the temple had also learned about the news, and also sent someone to ask if they could make a copy of Bian Que's book and send it to Chang'an...
."
"Hahaha, the wise men in Chang'an were also deceived? Could it be that even Chen Ping was deceived?"
"It's Prime Minister Zhou."
"Hey, this old man, this old man is straight, you know, he is too honest..."
Liu Chang got off his horse and came to a wine shop. He asked for some drinks from the beautiful woman selling wine, and then continued to say to Luan Bu: "Just tell them what I think, and let the temples learn from it and train more doctors.
Isn’t this much better than collecting taxes? This temple is slower than us in everything it does!”
As Liu Chang spoke, he looked at the beautiful woman in front of him and asked with a smile: "Such a beautiful woman, why is she selling wine here alone?"
Luan Bu's face darkened and he turned away, not looking at this foolish king.
The beautiful woman was not restrained and said with a smile: "It's just because I haven't met a beloved person like you, so I am alone."
"Oh? Where are you from?"
"It's a local... repair! Don't go too far!"
As the beautiful woman spoke, she called to her son in the distance. Liu Chang glanced at the child. He was less than ten years old, but he looked familiar... Liu Chang smiled and asked: "His father
Woolen cloth?"
The beautiful woman's face suddenly became displeased, and she cursed: "Huh, just think of it as dead."
"My first beloved died on the battlefield, and then a noble man came here... He deceived me, and after being in love for a few months, he disappeared... Then I had this child... Fortunately, he stayed
Get some money so that I can continue to run the household..."
Liu Chang looked at the child and asked suspiciously: "Is the person who lied to you very fair, a little older, with a long beard, a tall figure, and always speaks with a righteous tone?"
The beautiful woman was shocked and asked: "That's right. Do you know him?"
"Okay... It's true... Hey, this guy is awesome... Luan Bu, tell this lady his address... Forget it, let's do this, you can just come with me
Come on, I'll take you to find that person, the business here..."
The beautiful woman hurriedly said: "I can leave the things here to my brother. Where is he?"
"Not far away, right in Jinyang!"
........
"Master!!"
When Liu Chang rushed into Zhang Cang's mansion, Luan Bu who was following Liu Chang was stunned.
Zhang Cang's mansion is always closed on weekdays, and government affairs are not handled in a private residence. Except for a few people, basically no one knows what is going on in the mansion. This is the first time for Luan Bu to come. When he followed the king
When I entered the mansion, there were singing and dancing everywhere. How should I put it, there were women everywhere.
Some were sitting in groups of three or three, chatting about something, and some were walking... Looking at it like this, you couldn't count how many people there were. Soon someone came to greet them.
They were a few young men. Luan Bu originally thought they were servants, but judging from the conversation between the king and them, it turned out that they were all Zhang Cang's sons.
As we walked all the way towards the inner courtyard, all we could see were women.
Luan Bu couldn't count how many there were. Anyway, there were definitely more than a hundred people. As for the children, there were even more. There were children running around and playing in the courtyard, and they could all conduct Chinese studies here... And that
The beautiful woman also followed them. When Zhang Cang came to greet him in disheveled clothes, the beautiful woman stared at him and cursed: "Why did you betray me?!"
Zhang Cang raised his head and looked at the woman in front of him suspiciously. The child beside her couldn't help but let out a long sigh.
"You guys go and have a rest. I will come find you later."
The beautiful woman still wanted to speak, but when she saw how luxurious the mansion was, she still felt timid. Under the leadership of Zhang Cang's son, she left the place with her child.
Zhang Cang asked Liu Chang to sit on the upper seat, and he and Luan Bu sat next to him. Then he sighed and said: "Your Majesty... As a king, you should care about the affairs of your family and country. How can you always go out hunting and playing?
Woolen cloth?"
"Master is afraid that I will bring people back again, right?"
"It doesn't matter if the king goes out. Every time he goes out, he brings people back to me... What's the point?"
"Master still blames me?! I would also like to ask you, why do I always run into your old acquaintances wherever I go? Now that I am on the road, almost all the children I see look like you!"
Zhang Cang cleared his throat and said: "This is all my behavior when I was young. I was young and ignorant at the time."
"What happened when I was young? I just saw a woman holding a baby!"
"Ahem, why does the king come to see you?"
.......
"It's still a matter of farming. Master, you have been putting off this matter for a long time. It's time for there to be an outcome, right?"
“Haste makes waste.”
Zhang Cang said calmly: "It's almost spring. At this time, a large number of people are migrating to Shuofang and other places to cultivate and cultivate fields here. They will definitely be unable to catch up. We can only make plans after this autumn harvest.
Before that, I will prepare everything."
"Okay, I can wait for this matter. Then why don't you start building a posthouse on the way to Shuofang?"
"Because we are not sure about the scope of building the city, we can't start yet..."
Zhang Cang said calmly, "This Prime Minister is good at everything, but he likes to be lazy too much. As long as Liu Chang doesn't force him, he will never be in a hurry. Liu Chang even feels that if he had come to Tang State ten years earlier, he would have said
Maybe the Tang State's strength is already ten times what it is now.
Liu Chang had a straight face and said seriously: "I want to see the results... What I asked for, if Prime Minister Zhang doesn't let me see the results, I will build a mansion specially for you so that you can be alone
If you work in that mansion, you are not allowed to go out in October!!"
"Your Majesty, I will definitely do a good job."
Liu Chang gave a few more instructions, and then said seriously: "Master, you are merciful and have never forced me. It's hard for me to say anything, but... you can't just leave after entering. Such behavior is really a waste of time."
If you are not a man...if you have children but do not raise them, you will be punished by God!"
"I accept your order!"
Liu Chang then turned around and left. When they walked out, Luan Bu asked suspiciously: "How many concubines does Prime Minister Zhang have?"
"There are more than a hundred people on the surface, but I don't know how many there are in various places..."
"How many children does he have?"
"How do I know? I guess he doesn't even know!"
Luan Bu shook his head, "Prime Minister Zhang has the reputation of being a great scholar... No wonder he was imprisoned many times before."
Liu Chang said with emotion: "Zhang Cang came to the Tang Dynasty and the Tang Dynasty was in great power. Many of his policies saved nearly a million people and made great achievements. However, he always showed mercy. Once the other party got pregnant, he would no longer be close to her.
..If Prime Minister Zhang can take care of himself, maybe his reputation will not be lower than that of Prime Minister Xiao, but no matter what."
The two returned to the palace, but Zhang Buyu was already waiting at the entrance of the palace.
"King!"
Liu Chang asked him to follow him, entered the palace, and asked everyone to leave. Only Zhang Buyi was left. Zhang Buyi took out the memorial, placed it in front of Liu Chang, and said seriously: "Your Majesty, you are not here.
During this period of time, I have arrested several more traitors. These are cases sent from various places and have been processed..."
Zhang Buyi told Liu Chang that if this guy is not a traitor, his ability to do things is pretty good. He always has unlimited energy. Contrary to Zhang Cang, he is eager to establish a reputation, busy with state affairs, regardless of personal feelings, and acts decisively.
, is indeed a capable minister.
"This is much better than before. Most of the people in the Tang Dynasty were vicious, and people often killed people for trivial matters... Nowadays, there are fewer and fewer murders, and there are almost no thefts... Most of the cases are related to business, and there are
Those who drive up prices include those who pass off inferior goods, and those who are partial to wealth..." In the words of later generations, criminal crimes are declining, while crimes such as commercial fraud are constantly increasing.
Liu Chang nodded seriously.
Zhang Buyu then said: "Embroidering clothes will pay off..."
He took out the memorial again. This time, it was not a matter, but a matter for the ministers. Zhang Buyi was currently in charge of the embroidered clothes of the Tang Dynasty. He was the eyes and ears of the Tang Dynasty and monitored the ministers. The reason why Liu Chang
Zhang Buyi was appointed as the Tingwei because Zhang Buyi was loyal and loyal. He was a rare and loyal person in the Tang Dynasty and was worthy of trust!
"Your Majesty, these are traitors... They actually dare to criticize the King in private, and say that the King is in a hurry to build roads and cities without caring about the people... Traitors like this should be killed... and these
, these are all loyal and good people, these few even want to jointly write a letter to persuade the king to build a palace in Jinyang, feeling that the current palace is not worthy of the king..."
Liu Chang hesitated for a moment, should the traitor and Zhongliang change places?
"No doubt about it... If someone wants to accuse me of doing something wrong, how can I be considered a traitor? If I want to write a letter asking me to build a palace, how can I be considered a loyal person?"
"Don't look at their attitude towards others, but look at whether they are doing evil in private and oppressing the people..."
"only!"
"By the way, Your Majesty, Shi Censor Zou Liang impeached the Tingwei, saying that the criminal law enacted by the Tingwei was more important than that stipulated by the temple. He said that the king made his own laws, despised the temple, put corporal punishment first, and did not practice benevolent and righteous government...
."
"Oh? Where is he now?"
"In Tingwei's prison."
"Nonsense!! People say a few words to you, and you throw them into jail?"
"It's okay for him to impeach the court lieutenant. It's just that he slandered the king, and I will never forgive him lightly!"
"Let the people out quickly!"
"only!"
Liu Chang stroked his chin, "What they said is right... The criminal laws of Tang State are indeed more severe than other places... But there is nothing we can do about it. The people of Tang State have always been brave and aggressive. If they are not suppressed with heavy punishment,
So what should I do? It’s also private
If there is one case of fighting in Chang'an, there can be a hundred cases in our Tang Dynasty... If I am like Chang'an and only pay some money for private fighting, then it is okay... Local officials are going to catch private fighting every day...
.This also has to be adapted to local conditions.”
"Your Majesty, your Majesty is wise! It's true!"
"No doubt, you handle other things well, but... you can't just arrest people randomly... I see you, you are really looking more and more like Xuanyi!"
"Fan Kang complained to me earlier, saying that when he returned home to rest, he was taken away by you and imprisoned for three days..."
Zhang Buyi said seriously: "Your Majesty, as a court official, if you cannot strictly enforce the law, you will not be able to convince the public."
"Oh? I have finally become a virtuous minister in my life! But next time you encounter something like Zou Liang, don't arrest him directly!"
"Your Majesty, I also act according to the law. If he writes to the king and speaks frankly, I will not arrest him. But if he speaks like this to others, then it is not okay."
Liu Chang was surprised to find that his rebellious man had actually matured a lot. If he continued like this, he might really be able to take over the banner of Liuhou. Even if he couldn't achieve the same level as Liuhou, he would still be able to leave his name in history and become a wise man.
minister.
Liu Chang said happily: "The ministers follow their king. With a wise king like me, the ministers can also become wise ministers!"
While the two were talking, Xia Wuqi sent someone to report that he had summoned a group of great doctors to pay homage to the king.
Liu Chang had a lot to do during this period. Previously, the King of Yan wanted to borrow Zhou Bo, and then he wrote to the temple and asked to attack the Hu people. Chang'an agreed to him and asked the King of Tang to take charge of this matter. The three kingdoms of Tang, Zhao and Yan
Let's decide together, so
, Liu Chang also wanted to meet with the two kings to discuss the matter of sending troops and dividing the spoils. The King of Tang could not be sent away at 28:00. Although the troops were sent by Yan State, they would be sent by Zhao State.
Yes, but Tang still wants to eat the bulk.
Who doesn't know that the elder has the final say in this northern land.
In addition to this matter, there is also the matter of the doctors. Xia Wuqi deceived those doctors to come to the Tang Dynasty by using famous doctors who visited Bian Que's medical books. Just deceiving them was not enough, he had to find a way to make them stay.
There is no news from King Zhao. Several of his ministers have become shared ministers. Liu Chang pioneered the concept of begging to govern the country, while Ruyi developed a concept of borrowing the country to govern the country. Regardless of his previous
The whole army of soldiers was destroyed, but
There was a lot of assistance from the Tang State. After defeating the enemy, Liu Chang sent 100,000 livestock to Zhao State at one time, as well as iron tools, farm tools and other materials. Although these were not worth human lives, they could at least help him.
The other Zhao people survived.
What's more, this time Yan only wants generals, not soldiers.
However, it is better to meet these doctors first before talking about it.
Soon, Xia Wuji led these people in. When they entered the palace, they did not realize the seriousness of the problem. They hurriedly paid a visit to the King of Tang. Liu Chang looked at these people and smiled.
Said: "I am really happy that all the princes can come to the Tang Dynasty and serve me. Please come and reward me!"
After hearing what Liu Chang said, the faces of several doctors changed drastically.
One of the doctors said loudly: "I have little talent and little knowledge. I came here just to study. I don't have any ability to assist King Zuo!"
"Hahaha, those who can come here are all famous doctors in the world. Why are you so humble?"
"I am helping poor people in the local area. My medical skills can only cure the diseases of Guizhou heads, but not the princes!"
The man's attitude was very resolute, and his eyes were full of disdain for the princes.
"I didn't ask you to rule the princes!"
"Besides, since we have arrived in the Tang Kingdom, there is no reason to leave."
"If you refuse, I...I will go kill the woodcutter near Jinyang to vent my anger!!"
Chunyu Yi looked at the tyrant in front of him blankly, what the hell does this have to do with the woodcutter???
ps: After searching for a long time, I couldn’t find any relevant information about doctors. It’s all because I didn’t pay attention to the lectures and just wrote a book. I regretted the lack of prescriptions after reading the book... By the way, the average order today exceeded 47,000.
I was shocked. Thanks to all the talented people for their strong support. Don’t worry, Father Zhong will never become unlucky because of this result.
