Chapter 262: Gathering the Leaders of the World's Faint Kings
"Father! What is the word pronounced?"
Liu An took the book in front of Liu Chang. Liu Changheng looked vertically for a long time before he could see the words from the cracks. The whole book contained three words: "Ask your mother!"
Just as Cao Shu was tutoring her son seriously, Liu Chang stroked his chin and suddenly asked, "Shu, do you think the words are too complicated now? These words are as wise as me and studious as me.
Of course, it is not difficult for a king, but how can we understand children who want to enlighten like An?”
Cao Shu looked helplessly at the princes of the "Zhangyu" in front of her, "Oh, if an ordinary person does not study the scriptures, he will not use so many words, let alone, this word has been deleted..."
"It's still too cumbersome. Have you read the paper made by the Tang Kingdom? It's cheap and can gradually replace bamboo slips. No matter how cheap it is, it has a cost. If you simplify some words, you can save paper and write quickly.
Enlightenment is fast..."
Cao Shu looked at Liu Chang and pondered for a moment, "If the king thinks so, he can let Zhang Xiang take charge of this matter. Zhang Xiang is quite good at this..."
Liu Chang interrupted her unhappily, "I can do such a small thing by myself, so why bother Zhang Xiang?"
Cao Shu was shocked, "Master, this cannot be deleted at will... This requires great knowledge..."
"Hmm?? What do you mean? Don't you have any great questions?"
"This..." Cao Shu shouldn't say anything for a moment. After all, this good man of his family is very contradictory. In terms of calculation, he can already squeeze into the sages with his previous works.
The unique numbers created, including those symbols and calculation methods, have been promoted throughout the country and have become a must-have for officials.
Many Confucian children who value counting and even want to ask for advice from this king, but the kings who have always been unable to like Confucianism face these Confucian children who flatter themselves and come to ask for advice, but they are very enthusiastic when they listen.
They uttered a few words of flattery and they floated upwards, and they couldn't fall to the ground no matter how hard they pulled themselves.
Officials across the country are using the numbering method compiled by Chang Liu. Even those who hate Chang Liu's behavior, when they mention the "Shuo Book" compiled by Chang Liu, they only sigh: Although they have great talents.
With Liu Chang's strange inventions, he always mingled with craftsmen in his spare time, and constantly gave titles to meritorious craftsmen. Through his own efforts, he forced the status of craftsmen to be strongly improved.
After several levels, the world has gained the praise of professions such as craftsmen. After all, who doesn’t like it if you have a title? Under the influence of the military merit system, titles are almost everyone’s pursuit.
Although the military merit system of the Han Dynasty is not as retro as that of the Tang Dynasty, its titles are also very precious.
Without fighting, you can get several ranks by just making something. Isn’t it better to be a craftsman than to be a general?
There were also generals who had found Liu Chang, and their words were full of dissatisfaction with the craftsmen's title. The craftsmen of the Qin Dynasty could also be promoted through inventions, but they were not as exaggerated as they are now. Military merits are the first, excellent farming is the second, and third, workers are the third.
...And some generals believed that the king's behavior was to waste the foundation and trampled on the military merit system.
Liu Chang was a virtuous king who was good at listening to advice and was as virtuous as the King of Qi. After listening to the advice of the general, Liu Chang took his stirrups and threw them to him wooden armor and sticks, and asked him to kill the Huns outside the frontier.
...The general also woke up suddenly and suddenly felt that what the king did was actually very reasonable.
It is definitely wrong to say that the king has no great knowledge. The king is very knowledgeable and everyone in the world knows it. The Imperial Academy invites him to talk about numbers.
It can be said that he has great knowledge, in other aspects... The king wrote a typo in all the edicts, and he did not seek to understand them very much. He did not seek to understand them very much. He was not afraid of writing books incorrectly, but because he did not know so many words, he did not know what was Gai Gong at the time.
How to teach the king.
If Liu Chang said that he wanted to make a tool that could automatically write, Cao Shu might believe it, but if Liu Chang said that he wanted to simplify today's writing, Cao Shu would not believe it.
The king is not this material at all! Don’t learn from Li Si Cangjie, wouldn’t it be good to do something that the fool should do?
Seeing Cao Shu's suspicious eyes, Liu Chang was very unhappy.
"I wrote several books to benefit the world. With this contribution alone, I can set up a sacrifice and let everyone in the world come to worship me... The efficiency of officials' work has been greatly improved, which has caused fierce discussions among many great sages. The Imperial Academy
Invite me to teach and debate!”
"Why don't you believe me?"
"Master...If you want to do it, then do it, but you still have to let Zhang Xiang help you see."
"snort!"
President Liu stood up, his face bulged with anger, "Wait, when I write it out, you will know what kind of great questions I have!"
Liu Chang has a personality that can do whatever he says. He can't hold back anything and doesn't have the patience at all. But when he thought of a good idea in the middle of the night, he couldn't help but get up immediately to ask Zhang Xiang for questions. Zhang Xiang because of this
One thing is that I just need to set up a sign at the door, prohibiting King Tang and Ruyi from entering.
He couldn't help but want to see the results when he gave Zhang Xiang the instructions. He ran to Zhang Xiang's mansion seven or eight times a day to ask about progress... Behaviors like him are affectionately called in history: quick success and instant benefits!
This is also the standard configuration of tyrants and tyrants of all generations. But this king who gathers the strengths of the world's tyrants is the drizzle, and this shortcoming is nothing.
From this day on, Liu Chang took a book called "Cangjie Chapter" and hid in the Houde Hall and started writing.
He no longer went out to harm the ministers, and the ministers were very pleased.
Cao Shu would come to Liu Chang from time to time. Every time she entered the inner room, she would always see Liu Chang's frown and practicing hard and writing hard. Liu Chang was very serious and was not as she did on weekdays.
Whenever Liu Chang'an was writing a book, Liu An would sit obediently not far away and look at him attentively.
"Father? Have you finished writing?"
"Not yet...how can I write so quickly..."
Liu An nodded and sat for a while.
"What about now? Father? Have you finished writing?"
"I haven't finished writing! Shut up!"
"oh...."
Liu An sat for a while, "What about now?"
Liu Chang took off his shoes angrily. Liu An turned around and ran away, quickly hid behind Cao Shu. Liu Chang cursed: "Why is this avulgar? Send him to my mother!"
Cao Shu gave Liu Chang a blank look and slowly picked up Liu An. Several close servants took the mother and son away, but Liu Chang suddenly called the close servant.
"By the way, go to Zhang Xiang Mansion to ask, isn't he going to change taxes? Why is there no movement?"
"Master...I just asked this in the morning."
"Go and ask again!"
"oh..."
The closest servant left hurriedly, Cao Shu shook her head, the father and son would one day get angry to death. She held the child in her arms and coaxed her, "Be good, you can't learn from your father..."
Cao Shu took the child all the way to Changle Palace, and Liu An was chattering all the way, but he never stopped and approached Changle Palace. Little Liu An suddenly shouted: "Mother!
I think about books, too!”
"My father can write books, my master can do it, and I want to be like them!"
"Okay, okay, my An'er can definitely write better than them!"
"My mother, when I grow up, I will write an unprecedented book of sages!"
"Okay, you can think about benefiting the world at this age. This is a good thing."
Cao Shu said with a smile.
"I'm not trying to benefit the world... I just want others to admire me and read my books. In the future, I will let everyone read my books. If I read them well, I will let him become an official.
No, I cook it...oh my!"
Liu An covered his head and looked at Cao Shu pitifully.
"Why did my mother hit me?"
At this time, Cao Shu also carried him into the inner hall. Empress Lu, who was lying leisurely on the couch and enjoying the palace maid's massage, suddenly opened her eyes. Seeing her good grandson, her originally scary look immediately
Becoming extremely gentle, "My An'er is here!"
"Big Mother!"
Liu An suddenly rushed into the empress dowager's arms, glared at Cao Shu, and said, "My mother beat me!"
Empress Lu looked at Cao Shu in surprise, and Cao Shu's face turned dark, "Mother... Can you lend your wooden stick to me?"
"Ah? What do you want a wooden stick to do?"
"This guy has learned bad things from his father... I have to treat him!"
...........
Obviously, with Empress Lü here, Cao Shu couldn't cure her son.
After hearing Cao Shu telling Liu An's words, Empress Lu was not only not angry, but even felt relieved, "My good fortune!"
"If his father knew about it, he would definitely be very happy!"
"How can you be unhappy... In this way, his father still talks about not being like a father all day long... Where else does he want to be like a father?"
"My mother, you don't know... Every time I study, the king is very angry. I dissuaded him many times..."
Empress Lu smiled and said, "He is not worried about studying comfortably, he is worried about studying comfortably... Reading is a good thing, but if you believe in the contents of the book, you will become a fool..."
Although he did not say it clearly later, Cao Shu could still hear who her mother was connoting, a certain second generation who was good at studying and believed that the world was full of truth, goodness and beauty.
But the empress dowager could say this, but Cao Shu couldn't answer it.
After all, that emperor of the Han Dynasty, Liu Chang did not ascend the throne directly. He just regently, following Empress Lu and proclaimed himself the crown prince. However, Liu Chang still loved his brother so much, except Empress Lu could do so.
Except for the random mocking of Liu Ying, if others do this, Liu Chang would never spare him.
Empress Lu was teaching Liu An at this moment, "There are many things you can think of, but you can't say them out... Don't imitate your uncle, don't imitate anything, don't imitate your father, dare to imitate anything
explain.."
"Do you understand?"
"Um!"
Empress Lu happily coaxed her grandson and asked again: "He is still writing?"
"Yes... I've probably written about the most critical moment these days, and I don't even like to eat."
Empress Lu frowned, "This guy... If you put your mind into serious matters, you can do it... You should advise him more in the future, don't always think about how to play and how to enjoy...
.He threw all the national affairs to Zhang Cang and Chen Ping, inside and outside, but he hid in the Houde Hall..."
Cao Shu hurriedly said, "Mr. Chen often comes to Houde Hall to report everything... and Liu Zhang, the second son of the King of Qi, also often reports... Although the king is in the palace, he can know everything.
There will be no major problems with this matter..."
Empress Lu nodded and did not pursue the matter again, "Your place, you have to go there often... comfort her, and be able to bear the responsibility of the mistress in the palace..."
Cao Shu was shocked. Although Empress Lu liked her, she had never confirmed her status. Now Empress Lu's words confirm that Cao Shu's position in the next harem is better than Fan Qing. As for why
I just agreed now? That's because Fan Qing's father is no longer there... In Wuyang Hou's lineage, the two children have not yet fully grown up and have no more strength.
Cao Shu hurriedly took the order.
At this moment, Liu Chang almost rewrites the Cangjie chapter. He simplified the text with the contents of the dream that he could recall from time to time. The biggest trouble he encountered was that he was the one who encountered was
There are several words in the original text of Cangjie Chapter that he didn't know. He wanted to ask Cao Shu, but was afraid of losing face, so he could only secretly call Zhang Buyi to ask while Cao Shu was away.
Zhang Buyi was unreserved of Liu Chang, and he answered whatever he asked.
When Zhang Buyi learned that Liu Chang was writing the book of enlightenment, he wanted to simplify the text and unify the text again, he was very excited and couldn't help but praise Liu Chang's merits.
"Your Majesty, when this book is completed, your Majesty will ascend the throne to the emperor!"
"What's the rush? The power in the court is already in my hands..."
"Your Majesty, if you don't call yourself emperor, it's not right. You'll have to ascend the throne earlier... If anyone dares to object... I'll first..."
"Don't worry about ascending the throne for now, let's see how I wrote this?"
Zhang Buyi looked at the words written by Liu Chang and wanted to praise them, but the words were written too much. Zhang Buyi wanted to praise them, so hesitated for a moment, "Your Majesty... Not as good as me."
Come and copy it for you?"
"Okay! Come on!"
Zhang Buyi helped Liu Chang re-copy it again, and Liu Chang sat beside him and gave some advice from time to time.
After a few more days of busyness, Liu Chang felt that he had almost finished it, so he asked Zhang Buyi to call Zhang Cang over.
Zhang Cang walked into the Houde Hall with a dark face, "The king... I haven't finished it yet! I haven't finished it yet!"
"I'm done!"
Liu Chang said proudly, asking Zhang Buji to hand over the paper to Zhang Cang. Zhang Cang was confused and looked at the ghostly talisman on the paper in front of him, and hesitated for a long time, "King... is this?"
"This is the text I have deleted."
"Um???"
Zhang Cang widened his eyes and looked at it for a moment again, "The change of the king is very good... just..."
"Just what?"
"The difference is too big... I can't recognize the original characters at all, and it will cause chaos if I promote them rashly... When Qin State deleted and modified the text and unified the texts in various places, it also deleted and modified them based on the original texts. The difference is not that
It’s so big that it’s not that difficult to promote, but now the king is almost different from the original word.. The difference is too big, this is not possible..."
Zhang Cang seriously talked about the deletion of text, as if this was easy for him.
Zhang Buyi was very angry, "The king tried his best to do anything, how can you disdain the words he created? How can you know the creation of characters by the tyrant Qin? It's just a hearsay!"
Zhang Cang looked at him calmly, "Of course I know... the person who wrote "Cangjie Chapter" for Qin was my senior brother Li Si."
Zhang Buyi was stunned and couldn't speak at all.
"So what about Li Si..."
Almost forgot that this was the remnant of the tyrannical Qin who had followed Li Si, but Liu Chang said, "Don't doubt it, you can't be disrespectful to my master!"
Liu Chang looked at Zhang Cang with a smile and said earnestly: "Master, I made this first version of me anyway. You can combine this and make some changes based on the original. I don't have many conditions.
It’s not much different from the original words, but it’s easy to write as I wrote...it’s very simple... I’ll leave this matter to you!"
Zhang Cang was silent for a moment, "Your Majesty... I am still busy with taxes... What's more, there is this year's autumn harvest."
"By the way, there is also autumn harvest!"
Liu Chang asked excitedly: "What is the harvest this year?"
"King, the harvest is very good, and there are great harvests everywhere...the weather is good."
"Hahaha, it seems that the sacrifice to heaven is still effective!"
Zhang Buyi hurriedly echoed: "The king has the destiny, so it is naturally the case!"
Just when Liu Changyang was proud, Zhang Cang said helplessly: "But our granary is empty... the grain reserves are smaller than before... and they can't even afford the soldiers."
"ah??"
Liu Chang widened his eyes and asked, "The world is full of harvest, how can the granary be empty? Could it be that there are traitors coming to embezzle and commit evil?! I have to cook these big rats!!" Liu Chang gritted his teeth,
He stood up suddenly, but Zhang Cang said calmly: "It's not that there are big rats."
"It was the king who reduced the tax too much. The king immediately waived many calculations and reduced the rent in half... The people were happy and could afford to eat, but our granary was empty
It's okay, Zhou Xiang was so anxious that he started to pull his beard..."
Liu Chang frowned, "When I was in Tang State, I didn't have such tax cuts?"
"King, the situations are different in different places... Alas, if this continues, the northern and southern armies will have no food."
Chang Liu was furious, "It's all the blame for these ministers. Why didn't you tell me?"
"Uh...I heard that a minister came to persuade the king at that time, and the king said they were old dogs..."
Chang Liu waved his hand, "No such thing is just a rumor!"
"Until now, it's too late to talk about whose responsibility it is. I'd better think about how to solve it!"
Liu Chang said loudly.
Zhang Cang took a deep breath and calmed down his mood, "Master... I can't convert food out of thin air, let alone the king has already reduced it. If I want to increase taxes now, then the people will complain... Why is the king
Just don't listen to advice..."
"Not hindrance! I already have a good idea!"
Before Zhang Cang finished speaking, Liu Chang quickly interrupted him, then patted his chest, looking confident.
Zhang Cang asked suspiciously: "What is the solution for the king? Do you need to temporarily increase the tax? This is not a fundamental solution..."
"I have thought about it. There are many poor people in the Han Dynasty, but there are also many rich people. We can clearly price the official position and sell it to those who want it! If you want a title, you can give your food to buy it.
Come on, isn’t the food problem easily solved?!”
"King!!!"
Zhang Cang suddenly shouted.
ps: Although the king is not in personnel affairs, he is cruel, arrogant, usurped, rebellious, is good at showing off, is eager for quick success and instant benefits, is lazy, and is powerful and powerful, but we all know that he is a good king.
