In the Houde Hall, Chang Liu flipped through the books in front of him, looked carefully, and wrote something in his pen from time to time.
Lu Lu was really frightened.
When did he see His Majesty studying hard?
The Imperial Doctor Ling Xia Wuqi was invited by him three times. After diagnosing his pulse, he confirmed that His Majesty was very healthy and there was nothing abnormal.
Liu Chang frowned, gently knocked the eucalyptus in front of him, and sighed from time to time, as if he had encountered great trouble. Seeing Liu Chang's appearance, Lu Lu was also helpless and hurried forward and said, "Your Majesty,
I heard that Shanglinyuan sent a batch of prey, all of which were sent from the south... You can make clothes with leather..."
Liu Chang's eyes lit up, "White? How many are there?"
"There are forty-three in total... do you want me to get the bow?"
Liu Chang stood up happily and was about to give him something, but he held it back.
"Forget it, now it's not the time to go out to hunt, so wait for me to finish my work!"
Chang Liu sat down again and looked at the books in front of him and fell into pain.
The things that Liu Chang opened were all some of the works and notes of the Mohist school. Shang Fang ordered Chen Tao to visit Liu Chang many times and ask about the progress of the book. Liu Chang originally planned to perfunctorily treat him with the idea of delaying it for a day.
However, Chen Tao refused to give up. No matter where he met Liu Chang, he would always ask, which made Liu Chang want to let this guy go.
However, Chen Tao's words touched him again.
Chen Tao told Liu Chang that Shangfang has become a prominent Lingfu today. The craftsmen are working hard to develop various machines, even new technologies. These research and developments are messy. In Chen Tao's view, there are still many loopholes.
Shangfang is still using the R&D theories left by Qin Mo. He is not that Chen Tao looks down on Qin Mo, but Qin Mo's R&D theories are still a bit out of place when it comes to the R&D of this great man.
.
Qin Mo cares most about R&D matters. First of all, we must analyze the mechanical roles needed by Shangguan and reflect on the roles. The R&D process must be rigorous. Each R&D must be statistically summarized and detailed reports must be reported.
Cost consumption, etc. are all the things that the Qin people developed new weapons.
After Liu Chang got drunk that day, he said a lot of his views and requirements for R&D.
Chen Tao felt that if these things could be written out as the standard and goal of Shangfang's future research and development, the merit would be greater than that of His Majesty's research and development of a hundred machinery.
"The only one who can accomplish this under the world is Your Majesty!"
Perhaps it was Chen Tao's flattery that Liu Chang was a little out of power, or perhaps he also recognized what Chen Tao said, anyway, he really started to write this book... and the name, Liu Chang thought about it.
After a long time, it was named "Gexue". Liu Chang's own explanation of Gexue was: knowledge and knowledge that uses verifiable explanations and predicts things, is a formal knowledge...
Liu Chang wrote these words with confidence, and now the article is still within the scope of these words, without a single word.
Liu Chang did have a lot of memories about these things in his mind, but it would be a bit too difficult to ask Liu Chang to list these things.
Helplessly, Chang Liu decided to copy... and learn from Mozi, so he found these Mohist articles and began to search continuously. The gains could not be said to be huge, but they were very few.
Although Liu Chang himself always calls himself a sage, this learning is really not something he is good at.
Just as he was frowning, he heard the footsteps outside the hall.
Liu Chang was overjoyed and raised his head, "Is Luan Bu here?"
The next moment, Zhang Buyi walked into the hall. When he heard Liu Chang's inquiry, Zhang Buyi's face was a little stiff, he pursed his lips and looked at Liu Chang quietly.
"Well, I'm back? I thought it was Luan Bu... Come on, come on, sit down!"
"How? Are the migration of the clerical household registration arranged properly?"
Zhang Buyi talked about what he did this time, and saw the books placed in front of Chang Liu. He was shocked and asked hurriedly: "Your Majesty? You are..."
"Oh... I have a long story, and I feel deeply powerless in the supreme state. Seeing the current decline of the Mohist school, I have decided to annotate the classics of the Mohist school to enhance the supreme state..."
Lu Lu stood aside and couldn't help but say, "Your Majesty has been busy with this matter all these days. Your Majesty has not gone out to hunt for two days..."
"What?? Haven't gone out to hunt for two days??"
Zhang Buyi was shocked. It seemed that His Majesty really attached great importance to this matter. There was nothing that could make Liu Chang put aside his hunting hobby. You must know that when King Yuan of Chu passed away, His Majesty was heartbroken and had been there for four days.
In the palace, I went to Shanglinyuan to hunt on the fifth day. On the one hand, His Majesty was optimistic and would not be immersed in grief for a long time. On the other hand, His Majesty really liked hunting too much.
Liu Chang was very calm, "My teachers can give up their comfortable life for government affairs, how can I continue to enjoy it?"
"Your Majesty is wise!
!”
Zhang Buyi possessed him and bowed. Seeing his excited expression, he seemed to cry for Liu Chang's behavior that he had not gone out to hunt for two days. He was very moved.
Liu Chang shook his head, "But I have no clue... This thing is hard to write about."
Zhang Buyi narrowed his eyes and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, I have heard of one thing."
"you say."
"When Lu Buwei summoned the talented people and asked about their ideas, and wrote a book together. At that time, a Qi people told his side that Lu Buwei was not a real wise man, and he took the knowledge of others as his own name. After hearing about this, Lu Buwei said that
The left and right said: Because of my own talent, I can summon wise men from a great country to write together, but I don’t even have the ability to be the prime minister. Those who can only wander around and seek official positions can only correct their reputations.
.”
Lu Lu frowned. Is this a matter?
Why haven't I heard of it???
Zhang Buyi continued, "How can Your Majesty's power be comparable to that of the Prime Minister? Why doesn't Your Majesty summon talent to help you complete this matter?"
Liu Chang asked suspiciously: "But where did the wise men come from the Mo family? The only one who can be called a wise man in the Mo family is Chen Tao... Do you want to pull him over??"
"Since Your Majesty wants to write the Book of Shangfang, isn't the old craftsman of Shangfang the wise man His Majesty needs the most?"
"You're right... Then let you take charge of this!"
"only!
”
Zhang Buyi immediately received the order. Then Liu Chang smiled and put away the books in front of him. He said, "Luan Bu is back. Haven't you been to see him after you come back?"
"No."
"One day we call Chao Cuo, Ji Bu and Luan Bu, we have to have a good meal!"
"only."
After seeing off Zhang Buyi, Liu Chang felt much more relaxed, and a smile on his face again, and his face was full of comfort. Lu Lu just sighed, no wonder he could be regarded as a good person, His Majesty was depressed for several days
Yes, Zhang Buyi's words solved it... He is worthy of being Zhang Zuoxiang.
After temporarily putting aside this trouble, Liu Chang went to the Jiaofang Hall to find Cao Shu.
The Jiaofang Hall is quite lively.
Cao Shu sat in the upper seat, Fan Qing sat beside her and said something, while Yong E was sitting next to her bed, gently coaxing her two children. This bed was the crib at this moment.
The bottom layer is semicircular, so it can be shaken gently, while the upper head has protective gear to prevent the child from hurting him. Liu Bo also sat in front of his younger brothers, and his head shaking gently with the shaking of the bed.
The moment he saw Liu Chang coming, Liu Bo jumped up suddenly, rushed towards Ah Father in an instant, and rushed into his arms.
Liu Chang also quickly caught him, threw him up and then caught him.
"Hahaha, it's much stronger again, not bad, not bad, in two years, An will not be able to beat you!"
Liu Bo shook his head, "I won't beat my brother!"
"No prospect!"
Liu Chang rubbed his face, making him laugh, and then he hugged him and sat down.
Cao Shu looked at him in surprise, "Isn't Your Majesty busy with state affairs? Are you finished so soon?"
"Hahaha, if you find a better solution, you don't need to experience it yourself... Is there anything to eat?"
"have...."
While the nearby servants were preparing to eat, Liu Chang poked his head out, looked at Liang Heci, and said with a smile, "These two men are stupid and can't even speak!"
Yong E gave him a blank look and ignored him.
Soon, the food was placed in front of Liu Chang, and he ate it up. Liu Chang picked it up quickly, picked up the meat, but it didn't swallow it, and put it down again, frowned, and didn't know.
What are you thinking about.
"Eat...why are you doing while standing?"
Fan Qing urged.
"I don't know how he is...I have eaten meat..."
Liu Chang looked at the flesh in his hand blankly, suddenly put it down, and looked into the distance again. Just as he was about to call Lu Lu, Cao Shu grabbed him.
"Your Majesty, eat meat."
"I either asked him to come back or I could send him some..."
"Your Majesty, let it bear it."
Looking at the conversation between the two, Fan Qing looked confused, "Sister? What are you talking about?"
"No problem...you go and help Yong'e see the child!"
"good."
Fan Qing took Liu Bo to Yong'e's side. Several people looked at Liu Chang and Cao Shu, and chatted in a low voice. Cao Shu gently stroked Liu Chang's hand and comforted him: "It's okay,
He also wrote to me from time to time. It was not as hard as you thought. Everything was fine... You don't have to worry, he will be back soon. At this time, you can't let all your efforts be wasted!"
"Ah??He also wrote you a letter?"
"this...."
"He wrote to my mother and wrote to you, but he just didn't write to me?"
"This son knew about the eldest mother and the grandmother, but he didn't know about the father!"
"Forget it, forget it, I don't care. I will teach your son well!"
Liu Chang said unhappily and started eating the food in front of him. Cao Shu was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but frown.
.........
In Chuansikong County, just as dawned, the rushing knock on the door broke the silence in the mansion.
The old woman slowly opened the door and saw a strange postman.
The yezhu looked at the letter in his hand and said impatiently: "If you have a letter, the recipient... 告!"
The old woman was not surprised and hurriedly called Liu An out. Liu An rubbed his eyes and walked to the door. When he saw the mail, he was completely sleepy and suddenly became energetic. He was only away from his family. , Perhaps only then can I understand the meaning of the letter. Liu An rushed forward impatiently, signed his name, took away the letter. The mailman looked around and complained, "Don't you give me a drink? You can't Borrowing a horse is so far away..."
When delivering letters, the county's mailmen must depend on the distance. Only those who exceed the specified distance can ride horses to deliver. Because the Han Dynasty was too large, it was impossible to follow the Qin State, so it allowed pavilions to spread all over the country, and each township had more than ten For post-trial soldiers, the Han Dynasty could only use the county postal method.
The old woman smiled and handed water to the mailman from the county.
Liu An couldn't wait to read the letter. Sure enough, this was written by his mother to himself. During these days, he had been communicating with his mother and mother, and opened his letters. The content is as always, let him experience it well, don't mess around, don't underestimate farmers, eat on time, etc. Liu An looked at it seriously, and a smile appeared on his face. At the end, his mother's tone became serious Get up.
"You communicate with me, my mother, Qing, E and the others, but you don't communicate with your father!"
"What's the reason?"
"Your father will mention you to me every day, and I miss you very much. When you see delicious food, I will think of whether you eat it... Occasionally, when the wind blows, he will nervously ask you if the weather is cold there. He always talks with his ministers, and he always hangs you on the walls of the articles you wrote... He loves so much, but you repay them like this?! If it weren't for your father's words, I I don’t know that you didn’t even write a letter to your father!
!”
Liu An was scolded by a scattered face and had to silently put away the letter.
The old woman was a little surprised. Isn’t she happy to receive the letter in the past? Why do she look like this now?
"An, is there something wrong at home?"
"No... My mother scolded me before, but now my mother also said so. My father missed me and became sick. I came to the lake as a child... How could my father miss me? ”
"Ah Father didn't have that personality at all..."
The old woman pursed her lips and looked at her father-in-law who was eating not far away.
When the father-in-law heard these words, he pursed his lips, and a trace of sadness appeared on his vicissitudes of life.
He put down his job and said calmly: "When I was young... I thought so too. I was raised by my mother..."
"Since I can remember, I have never seen my father. Every time he comes back, he lies at home and sleeps loudly, scolds me angrily, not allows me to play, and forces me to practice... I never cared about me. .. At that time, I always thought that my father didn’t love me..."
"When I grew up a little, I started to work at home... Before my father left, he stroked my head and wanted to say something...I ran away."
"Then, I never saw him again."
"After growing up, I realized that he died in Changping."
"I also started to go to the battlefield, and I also had my own children... At that time, I realized... The father is different from the mother, and he always demands children harshly, but these words, what I said
No matter how many there are, you will understand when you grow up and have your own children... But often when you can understand them, they are no longer there... and you are probably
I can't wait for your child's understanding..."
After the father-in-law finished speaking, he lowered his head and started eating again.
Liu An took out the paper he had treasured and took out the pen.
"Ah Father..."
After writing a few words, Liu An was a little confused. He obviously had so many words to say when writing letters to Ah Mother and his eldest mother, but at this moment, he had no idea about it at all when facing Ah Mother.
What should I say? After hesitating for a moment, Liu An wrote: "My father is fine? I know the way to cultivate... Eat meat every five days..."
After writing for a while, Liu An stopped again and began to ponder.
"I finally understand why my father doesn't like my reading... What I see and experience now is indeed different from what is recorded in the books..."
"I can see how difficult it is to implement the specific policy..."
"It's the Zhang Fu you arranged for. He is too tyrannical. A few days ago, a friend came from Chang'an and was beaten and humiliated by him..."
"The people all talk about your kindness... My father doesn't have to care about the words of those ministers... Although the people are still very poor, I find that you have done a lot of things..."
Liu An wrote faster and faster. Soon, he completed the letter from his family. While he was resting, his eldest son of his father-in-law took him to send a letter. If he wanted to send a letter, he had to go to the nearest post in the nearby county and the postage in the county.
When the monk delivers the letter, he will also receive the letter here.
The yeshu picked up the letter and looked at the recipient.
"The head of the Wuyang Hou Mansion in Chang'an received it."
Many of these people were embroidered clothes, so they naturally knew who they gave it to Chang'an, which was not far away.
............
"We have said that practice. Now we are talking about seeking truth from facts and being truthful, right?"
Liu Chang looked at the craftsmen in front of him, "What you said just now is right. You always feel that there is something to improve in the salt well technology in the past. Everyone persuaded you, thinking that there is no room for improvement, but you stick to your own ideas and finally do it.
Nowadays, salt well technology has been released... Yes, this must be added to..."
"That is, there must be criticism and doubt, right? You cannot follow the crowd. You must stick to your own ideas and not be superstitious about the so-called sages..."
Liu Chang picked up his pen and recorded another point.
At this moment, Lu Lu walked in, "Your Majesty, you have a letter."
"Oh, put it here first..."
Liu Chang put away the letter and continued to talk to the craftsmen in front of him. Through all the feelings of these craftsmen during their actual research and development, Liu Chang has accumulated a lot of useful materials, and these craftsmen have no culture, and Liu Chang is also
In this way, Lu Lu didn't know what such a group of people could write.
While the craftsmen were chatting, Chang Liu secretly took out the letter, looked at it for a few times, looked a little surprised, and hurriedly turned it open.
“Hahaha~~”
Chang Liu raised his head and laughed, and the craftsmen were shocked.
"This is my son's letter..."
"What good news is there in the prince?"
"It's nothing big, I just wrote some nonsense. Hahaha, the prince is still very talented. If he was here, he might be able to write a lot of what we said. This is not good at anything else, so I'm a good writer to write articles.
, You don’t know what he wrote at the beginning, even the people from the Imperial Academy were scared, and the people from the Huang Lao even called him the new saint, and they all said that he would be my ancestor in the future
