After Zhufuyan are Wu Lu and Wei Xin. These two people are actually here to get gold plating...
Even the two of them knew it.
That's all Wu Lu, the descendants of the Changsha King's son were just used by the Han family as a front.
Therefore, Liu De just encouraged him and casually sent him to Zhang Tang's place to do odd jobs. If he could get through with his talents, Liu De would not hesitate to promote him.
I would think of him, stuff him as a Marquis of Guan Nei, reward him with a bunch of gold, silver and jewels, and let him go back to Changsha to become a rich man.
But Weixin is a little more complicated.
It's complicated because... Wei Xin's sister was the first woman Liu De had in this world in his previous life...
As a brother-in-law, he was naturally given preferential treatment, so Wei Xin, a playboy who was originally far from qualified regardless of his family background or future prospects, fought his way through the siege and was successfully selected into the top twelve.
In his previous life, Wei Xin's father, Wei Wan, was Liu De's first royal tutor.
With this relationship, and the fact that Liu De had no friends in Hejian, he subconsciously often visited Wei Wan's house. Wei Wan was an honest person and didn't pay too much attention, so Liu De quickly hooked up with his precious daughter.
There is no need to say much about the matter, you will understand it naturally. In short, after several twists and turns, the two of them finally became strangers.
Ahem, I forgot to mention that this Miss Wei is a widow.
Liu De later heard that she had remarried and had a child after returning to Chang'an, so he was naturally sad.
"By the way, what does she look like?" Liu De rubbed his temples and found that he had forgotten the other person's appearance, only vaguely remembering that she had a good figure, a gentle personality, and was very good at taking care of others...
"As expected, the men of the Liu family..." Liu De had to sigh, and then he laughed again. It was time to meet this old "qingren" from his previous life.
Liu De quickly put the matter behind him, cheered up, and continued to meet other people.
After working all afternoon, Liu Decai finally arranged everyone properly.
Now, a small group was formed around him, headed by Ji An, Zhang Tang, and Ju Meng, each with two younger brothers.
Under Ji An, there were Yan Yi and his master Fu Yan, and there was also a prostitute Wei Xin who was responsible for doing odd jobs.
Zhang Tang's men followed Zheng and were responsible for making soy sauce along with Gongsun He, Zhou Yuan and Wu Lu.
Ju Meng brings the Chehou duo Jin Shi and Gu Zhenrou.
Liu De was in charge of Ning Cheng and Sima Xiangru.
Although it is only a small group of more than a dozen people, responsibilities are clearly defined and order is maintained.
Ji An is responsible for handling daily official documents, coordinating personnel, and monitoring accounts and actions.
Zhang Tang is responsible for the specific implementation.
Ju Meng is mainly engaged in intelligence, lobbying and wooing, coercion and inducement.
When encountering a problem that really cannot be solved, release Ning Cheng...
Sima Xiangru's main job was to write poems and rhymes to praise the emperor of the Han Dynasty...
Sima Xiangru was very satisfied with this arrangement.
……………………………………………………
Before Liu De had time to celebrate the successful completion of the exam, a piece of news the next day made him immediately put away his thoughts of relaxation.
The emperor of the Han family is returning to Chang'an!
But this is also inevitable.
When all the princes are granted the title of king, they must offer sacrifices to the Ancestral Temple. Only then can they be legitimately enthroned as kings.
But Liu De also knew that when the cheap dad came back, he would probably be punished.
For him, the cheap daddy put Wang Hui in jail and Tao Qing was dismissed from office. The Han family suddenly lost a Jiu Qing and a San Gong. Even if he was not at fault, he would inevitably suffer some humiliation. What's more, he also had a fight with Empress Bo.
Give and receive privately.
This is a bit taboo. To put it more seriously, it means that there is no king or father. If you go above and beyond, you can be accused of coveting the artifact.
Fortunately, Liu De had already been recognized by his cheap dad and was considered the quasi-heirloom, so he could be punished with a lower sentence.
However, it is also a death penalty that can be avoided, but a living crime cannot be escaped.
If he wants to calm down the cheap daddy, Liu De must come up with something that makes him happy, so as to atone for his sins and not ruin his impression in the cheap daddy's mind.
So what could make the emperor of the Han family laugh at the sight of it, and even forgive Liu De for some of his mistakes?
The answer is a piece of wood currently placed in front of Liu De.
This is a piece of old pear wood that is more than thirty years old. It is a perfect work of art that Zhang Tang and a dozen craftsmen carefully carved day and night.
In order to carve such a piece of wood, Liu De asked Zhang Tang to buy tens of thousands of pear wood from Liushi a month ago, more than thirty pieces of wood, but in the end he could only carve this piece of wood.
It's not that the craftsmen's skills are not up to par, it's really...
This thing is not something ordinary people can do.
Because it is called engraving, it is one of the greatest inventions in ancient China!
In China, it shattered the clans and defeated family politics. In Europe, it ended the Middle Ages and started the Renaissance.
It is the disseminator of knowledge and the crown of civilization. It is not an exaggeration to praise it with all the words.
If you want to carve a block that can be printed, technical issues are not important, because the so-called block printing itself is derived from seals and talismans. As long as the layer of window paper is broken, it will be invented sooner or later.
Its biggest difficulty is that at this time, the craftsman who carved it must not be illiterate at least, otherwise, if there is a slight deviation, the engraving will be destroyed immediately.
But how many craftsmen today are literate?
So there is no other way but to use the simplest and crudest method - to enhance the proficiency of the craftsmen through a lot of experiments and exercises. As the saying goes, practice makes perfect, so what if you can't read?
So Liu De chose "Hong Fan", a smaller work among the sages' works, as the training target for the craftsmen.
Through reverse engineering, Zhang Tang was asked to write these characters backwards for the craftsmen to see. They were not asked to understand, as long as they knew how to carve a certain character.
So, after more than a month of continuous hard work and practice, the results finally came to fruition today.
"Try it!" Liu De ordered enthusiastically and expectantly.
Zhang Tang nodded, took the wooden board, brushed a layer of ink on it, then took a piece of white paper to cover the engraving, lightly brushed it with a brush, and then took out
Put down the white paper and Zhang Tang presented it to Liu De.
Liu De nodded, took a look at the white paper, and chanted: "King Wu defeated Yin, killed Shou, established Wu Geng..."
"This is an important weapon of the country!" Liu De nodded happily and sighed. Putting aside the influence of the engraving invention, it is just that now that there are engravings and white paper, if he is more obedient and says some nice words, it will be cheaper for him.
No matter how angry dad is, it’s time to dissipate!
"Come here!" Liu De clapped his hands.
"What are your orders, Your Highness?" Wang Dao immediately stepped forward and asked.
"All craftsmen who have made meritorious service to the country will be rewarded with a reward of 10,000 yuan each and ten pieces of cloth!" Liu De ordered, these craftsmen must be rewarded if they can drive away the cheap man and produce engravings before he comes back!
"Thank you, Your Highness!" When the craftsmen heard this, they all laughed heartily, feeling that their hard work for more than a month was finally not in vain!
PS: My cheeks are really annoying me at night. I even have problems with my ears. I always feel like there is something sore and swollen there.
No matter what, I will stick to my promise
Well, let’s do a detailed examination at the hospital tomorrow~
Let me go, it’s not facial paralysis, right? It always looks a bit like it~
Well, there will be an update later. If you can’t wait, you can go to bed and watch it when you wake up tomorrow~
