When Xu Fu went to sea, he took a lot of things with him.
In addition to boys and girls, there were also a large number of craftsmen, technicians, etc., including many advanced technologies. Later, during the war in the Central Plains, a large number of people fled to the peninsula. After the establishment of Weiman Korea, the Sanhan region also had many advantages.
There were only a few immigrants from the Central Plains. After preliminary trade with these immigrants from the Central Plains, these people on the Japanese islands also mastered the news of the Central Plains. War broke out, and the countries recovered and then competed with the Qin State. This made them even more fortunate. Fortunately, they
Run fast.
They seemed to have decided that this would be a long battle and ignored matters in the Central Plains.
But when Zhou Shengzhi landed, they were really frightened.
The Yellow Head Army was wearing something they had never seen before. The general was wearing a Qin-style armor, and the flag actually said "Han". What small country was this?
Wang Qi learned about what happened in the past few years in the peninsula prison.
The vassal states have indeed been restored. Yan, Zhao, Qi, and Chu are all here. However, they are not the original vassal states. The new emperor came to the throne and replaced the Zhou Dynasty. In the past, it was the emperor of Zhou, and now it is the emperor of Han. These
Wang Qi can still understand, but the problem is that the development of the Central Plains has been too rapid in these years.
He originally thought that after the destruction of the war, many things were lost and he had mastered a lot of technology, he was a god who returned from overseas. Unexpectedly, he turned into a savage who just ran down the mountain.
However, this new Han Dynasty did not seem to be stable. In a short period of time, it actually experienced three emperors.
Although these soldiers all said that the current emperor abdicated and succeeded to the throne because of his great merits, Wang Qi secretly guessed that this was probably a master who rebelled against the superior, imprisoned his brother, and ascended to the throne of emperor.
It's not like things never happened.
However, this rebellious emperor is really capable.
At the beginning, the capital of Qi State was crowded with people, people gathered together to play, and all kinds of shops were open from morning to evening. Everyone in the world thought that this was the most prosperous and lively capital in the world. But Wang Qi
Along the way, every city of the Han Dynasty seemed to be like this, and it was no less than the most lively capital city of Qi State at the time.
Even the old Qin land is no longer the solemn style of the past. Could it be that this new royal family is the Qi people of the past?
The Emperor of the Han Dynasty received the prisoner in the Hall of Houde.
No matter who you are, you will probably be startled when you first see Liu Chang. After all, such a tall person is still very rare in today's world. When Wang Qi followed his teacher to prepare for the voyage on the peninsula, he once
I once met a strong man who was good at using iron spines and was two heads taller than an ordinary person. Now the emperor's figure seems to be even taller than that man.
For some reason, when Wang Qi saw the emperor for the first time, the word "King Zhou" popped up in his mind.
He hurriedly bowed to see you and called you Your Majesty.
Liu Chang was also looking at the old man in front of him. He asked suspiciously: "Are you Xu Fu's disciple?"
"Exactly."
"Is Xu Fu still alive?"
"When I first went to sea, my teacher contracted a disease at sea and died soon after arriving on the island."
"Then after you build the city, don't you have officials and kings to manage it?"
"My fellow disciples led us to build the city. He never became a king and had no officials. Everyone worked on their own and was self-sufficient... Anyone who commits adultery and commits crimes will be interrogated and punished by the elders..."
Wang Qi talked about the situation there. After listening for a while, Liu Chang lost interest, waved his hand in displeasure, and asked: "Then let me ask you, how is the land on the island over there? Is it suitable for farming?"
Wang Qi hesitated for a moment and said: "There are fertile fields in the east, but not much...mainly mountains..."
"What about the minerals?"
"This is indeed rich... right at the location where General Zhou landed..."
A slight smile finally appeared on Liu Chang's face. Listening to the old man introducing the resources on the island, he couldn't help but nodded. If there is less cultivated land, it would be better to have other resources to make up for it. Liu Chang waved
He waved his hand and asked the soldiers to take the man out. Just as Wang Qi was about to go out, Liu Chang suddenly remembered something, suddenly turned his head and asked: "When you went to sea, did you bring a lot of weapons with you?"
Craftsman?!"
Wang Qi was stunned and quickly said: "Yes..."
"Hahaha... I know. If I pardon them, can you let them surrender?"
"If His Majesty can forgive us, we will definitely be willing..."
"Okay, let's do it!"
"Come here, please take this guy...this father-in-law to rest at Dianke Mansion!"
After sending this man away, Liu Chang couldn't help but laugh and looked at Lu Lu beside him, "Xiang Ji's fire burned many things and lost them. These craftsmen who followed Xu Fu to sea were all
The best craftsmen of the Qin State have mastered many technologies that we don't know about! Not to mention other things, their ships can sail in the sea near the shore, but now we can't...
Compared to gold and silver, these people are the real treasures!"
Lu Lu was stunned, yes.
"It turns out that your Majesty is anxious to see him for this reason! Your Majesty is so wise, none of the ministers thought of this..."
"Ahem, yes, I have thought of it a long time ago... You can tell Feng Jing later and let him arrange this!"
"only!
"
Liu Chang then took out his pen and ink and started writing. He was still writing the book about Shang Fang. Following Zhang Buyi's suggestion, he summoned a large number of craftsmen during these days without asking them to say anything.
The truth is, he talks about his own experiences. According to the various experiences of these people, Liu Chang also summed up a lot of truths and a lot of knowledge hidden in his mind. After a little combination of these people's experiences, he can be understood.
Liu Chang wrote it in the simplest words.
For example, criticism and questioning, creation and exploration, group cooperation, dedication and inheritance, etc. After having a general idea, Liu Chang could fill it with his own things at will, so Liu Chang made up a lot of allusions in it.
Because this matter was requested by Chen Tao, Liu Chang made up a lot of allusions about Mozi.
The roughness of these allusions makes Confucians shake their heads. Although we have nothing to do with Mozi, after all, he is also a great sage. Your Majesty, you don't have to cause such trouble!
!
For example, in order to show the spirit of criticism and questioning, Liu Chang's allusion records that Mozi's disciples had a good idea, but Mozi thought that this would not succeed. Mozi's disciples insisted on their own ideas and opposed Mozi.
After thinking about it, the disciple finally succeeded in making something. Mozi discovered his mistake and apologized to him.
There seems to be no problem with this allusion. If the disciple did not invent the plow, if Mozi did not beat the disciple, if the disciple did not call him an old dog when he questioned...
No matter how you look at this allusion, it's not Mozi and his disciples, but Liu Chang and Liu Chang. Mozi's disciple invented the plow?? Forget it, it's understandable, but Mozi would beat his disciples because he disagreed with him, and he also wanted to
Beat him to death? Will Mozi's disciples call him an old dog because they don't agree with Mozi's ideas?
Also, why the hell is Mozi’s disciple called Lu Ban???
Liu Chang wrote another standard today, which is a strict and precise analysis.
Yes, the allusion soon came out: Mozi wanted to make a ship, but he only made rough measurements of the dimensions without precise analysis. In the end, he made a lot of parts. When he started to piece together the big ship, he discovered that
These parts couldn't be put together no matter what...Mo Zi was so angry that he cursed his mother.
Liu Chang smiled and showed today's allusion to Lu Lu.
"Look, with this progress, I will be able to finish writing it soon! Chen Tao didn't even know that I had written so much. Hahaha, I will give him a big surprise soon! It can also be regarded as a tribute to him in Shangfang these years.
Rewards for meritorious service!”
Lu Lu quickly finished reading this allusion, and the corners of his mouth twitched involuntarily.
Chen Taoruo didn't know whether he was happy or not after seeing this, but he would definitely be shocked.
Fu Qiubo's article almost sent Chen Tao away, but your majesty's allusions were enough to send away the entire Mohist school.
"Your Majesty... your writing is very good... but it's just these allusions... isn't it a bit..."
"Do you think there are too few allusions?"
"No, no, Your Majesty, it's just that you arranged the saints in this way. Isn't it not good?"
"Zimozi was a sage who cared about the world. You described him like this in your allusion... This is really..."
Lu Lu pursed his lips, not knowing what to say.
Liu Chang waved his hand and didn't care at all, "What's the point? You don't know? My teacher once told me that my ancestor liked to do this, using sages to express his thoughts. This is not humiliation, it is
Respect, you see, in order to express the idea of killing those villains who pretend to be moral people, my ancestor also said that Confucius killed Shao Shimao on the first day he became the prime minister of Lu... Before my master, he had never
People have said this...it is completely unrecorded..."
"I am inheriting the style of my ancestors. How can I be said to be humiliating the saints?"
Then you might as well inherit something good?!
Although His Majesty's cultural level needs to be improved, he is very familiar with the knowledge of his own school. Although he cannot remember the name of the person and turned the seventh day into the first, it is already very difficult to know this.
Whenever Liu Chang talks about books and allusions, the ministers around him will always think seriously. Even if Liu Chang occasionally mentions some correct allusions, these people still have to think slowly, is this right?
In the end, these people also forgot whether this allusion was correct.
Lu Lu smiled bitterly and said: "Even so, it is just to set up others, not to humiliate Confucius... You directly use Mozi as a negative example... How can this be done?"
"Then what can I do? Who can remember the allusions without famous people? Huang Lao and Confucianism are both my disciples, so it is difficult to arrange them. If I write about Han Feizi and others, my mother will be angry. There are only a few outstanding scholars. Now the Mohist family
The weakest...."
Lu Lu knew very well Liu Chang's style of bullying the weak and fearing the strong, "But he still disrespects the sages..."
"Hahaha, this is your problem!"
"What I am doing now is to revitalize the Mohist family and find a way for scientific research. Isn't this the same as Mozi's original idea? If Mozi knew what I did, he would definitely laugh and say
Maybe you will even help me write it!
"
"I do think that if he finds out, he might really beat someone up like what you wrote in the allusion..."
"You are insulting the saints!"
Liu Chang shook his head disdainfully and continued writing regardless of Lu Lu's advice.
Not long after Liu Changgang finished writing, Zhang Cang appeared in the Hall of Houde.
Zhang Cang still looked as fat as before, but he looked a little more serious and no longer as friendly as before. Liu Chang received him with a smile, and ordered Lu Lu to take out delicious food and pile it on Zhang Cang's table.
In front of Cang, now for Liu Chang, the teacher is the most precious treasure in the world, more precious than the ten thousand gold and silver mines.
Zhang Cang originally wanted to say something, but looking at the meat in front of him, he couldn't help but lick his lips.
"Teacher, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, let's talk while eating!"
"State affairs should be the most important thing. Before state affairs, there is no need to be so particular about things like this! Give me the dyeing cup...the one with soy sauce..."
Zhang Cang tasted a few mouthfuls and then said: "When I was doing statistics on the situation in various places, I discovered the extreme imbalance in food prices in various parts of the Han Dynasty. Many merchants have made a fortune and have a lot of wealth because of this. These
I have already reported the list of people to the Prime Minister of Hexi, but the problem is not this, the problem is the price of food. If the price is not balanced, there will be big problems... Do you still eat that Hu Pancake?"
Liu Chang quickly placed the Hu cake in front of Zhang Cang.
Zhang Cang ate slowly and leisurely. He was simply an expert in eating. Others ate Hu pancakes dry, but Zhang Cang was different. He had different ways of eating different foods. When eating Hu pancakes, he
He likes to dip it in mutton soup and eat it with Sichuan peppercorns. No matter how ordinary things he eats, Zhang Cang can make others drool...
"With successive years of bumper harvests, the price of grain has reached one stone and five cents in some areas, leaving farmers with little profit... I once read that Li Kui of the Wei State implemented the flat buying method to balance the price of grain. This
The price of grain cannot be too low, otherwise the price of grain will hurt the farmers. Of course, it cannot be too expensive. If it is too expensive, the price of grain will hurt the people!"
"Therefore, I decided to set up changpingcang in various places and follow Li Kui's method. When the grain is low, the number of merchants will be increased to benefit the farmers. When the grain is high, the number of merchants will be reduced to benefit the people... What do you think, Your Majesty?
?”
Liu Chang was smiling all over his face at this moment.
"The teacher is right! Of course I will do it according to what you said!"
"Just listen to you!"
"Come on, teacher, please eat some more meat..."
Zhang Cang didn't eat much. His eating was different from Liu Chang's. Although the people who ate with them all had great appetites, Liu Chang wolfed down his meals. When others saw him eating, their appetite suddenly declined.
It’s here, but Zhang Cang pays attention to enjoyment when eating. He eats slowly and rarely, but very delicately. He also lives a very delicate life and does things the same way.
"Teacher, about Dong Anguo... have you heard about it?"
Zhang Cang nodded, "The farmer is not bad. I have read his memorial. You can give it a try."
Dong Anguo, historically, was a master of agriculture in the Han Dynasty. He once wrote eighteen agricultural books, but they are now lost.
Zhang Cang is different from ordinary Confucians. He has no prejudice against various schools of thought. He is too lazy to go against others. When he was in the Tang Dynasty, he appointed a large number of sages from the Legalists and Huang Lao, so he was slandered by Confucians.
, now that he has become the Prime Minister, it is still the same. The people he promotes are still mainly Huang Lao and Legalists, with almost no Confucianism.
"Your Majesty, farming is not just about reclamation. The price of food is also a factor. There is also the matter of tree planting... We can encourage tree planting in Hexi, Longxi, Shuofang and other places... to increase the land that can be cultivated.
While reclaiming land, we must not cause too much damage to the mountains and forests, as well as animal husbandry. Animal husbandry is also a matter of farming... Your Majesty does not know that the original Qin State had established the Law of Stable Gardens to be responsible for domestic affairs.
Veterinarians...regulate how they treat war horses..."
"Although I am a big man, I also have stable rules, but it is still not enough."
"I plan to establish an animal administration, train veterinarians, and study treatments for livestock diseases..."
The word veterinarian appeared very early, and this title was already used during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period.
Zhang Cang shared some of his recent important ideas, and Liu Chang agreed to them all.
Zhang Cang wiped his chin and beard clean, then said goodbye to Liu Chang and left here.
"It's not okay for you to eat so greasy food all day long. Eat more vegetarian dishes!"
Zhang Cang explained a few words.
Liu Chang pursed his lips and said, "Lu Lu, do you hear it?"
"As a teacher, I will come on time every day during meal time to report state affairs to me..."
"He is telling me that I want to eat vegetarian food tomorrow!"
But Lu Lu laughed and said, "Your Majesty, the people in Chang'an say: Duke Zhang is the Prime Minister of the Han Dynasty, and he rules the world in March."
"After Prime Minister Zhang took office, the temple affairs progressed rapidly. The governments cooperated with each other, so that there were no problems worth worrying about. Everything was solved easily. The ministers became more and more admired. In the last court meeting, because Zhang Xiang was fat, Zhang Shizhi
He leaned over and put on his shoes... All the ministers said, this is the truth! Your Majesty has such a virtuous prime minister, even if you slaughter a cow for him every day, I think it is worth it!"
Lu Lu talked excitedly about Zhang Cang's ability and the admiration of the ministers for him. Liu Chang thought of something and frowned.
........
In Zhou Mansion, the elderly Zhou Chang was sitting in the courtyard, looking quietly in the direction of the door. Although he was about the same age as Zhang Cang, he was hunched over and his face was yellow, as if the wind would blow him completely.
The people were blown away, and the withered yellow leaves were scattered on the ground, fluttering in the wind.
The Zhou Mansion, which was crowded with people at the beginning, was completely forgotten by the ministers at this moment.
Zhang Cang's ability and even the emperor's favor were incomparable to Zhou Chang's. The entire Zhou Mansion became very quiet. Those who were initially very worried about Zhou Chang's condition often came to visit, and they all spoke of Zhou Gong's love.
There was no trace of the ministers, and the relatives who brought gifts, served Zhou Chang, and called him "eldest father" gradually reduced the number of visits after coming a few times.
Zhou Chang looked quietly not far away. As he sighed, another fallen leaf swayed and flew down.
"President Zhou!
!”
The tall figure burst open the door.
Mr. Liu had a smile on his face and held two chickens in his hands.
Zhou Chang chuckled lightly.
In his smile, two lines of tears couldn't help but fall down.
ps: We can finally go out. Lao Lang is thinking about going to Tianjin and settling down there in the future to treat his children. But now he doesn’t know what the situation is there. He is afraid that he will be quarantined if he goes there...
