Father Han Gaozu

"Your Majesty is wise!!"

The dusty Zhang Buji stood in front of Liu Chang and sang loudly for His Majesty's kindness.

"This time I went to the counties of the frontier fortress, from the dignitaries to the common people, everyone praised your majesty's merits and virtues. The people are sunny, the people are rich, and all industries are prosperous, especially Henan, Shuofang and other counties. This place is no longer what it used to be. Poverty, thousands of miles of fertile land, all fertile land, business flourished, its prosperity almost surpassed that of the pass, people at that time called it the new Qinzhong.”

Liu Chang was immediately displeased, "Why not Xinhanzhong?"

"Your Majesty is right! Tyrant Qin has no way, how can it be called New Qinzhong?! This minister will make the local government change their words!!"

There may be some exaggeration in Zhang Buyi's words, but there are also facts. Frontier fortresses are not all wild lands as people in the Central Plains think, especially in Shuofang, Henan, and Beidi, where the cultivated land is fertile and the soil is fertile. The quality of the land is comparable to that of Liang Guo. After Liu Chang swept away the external threats for them, the development here began to become extremely rapid. The Hetao Plain showed its unique aptitude to the dynasty in advance.

Following Chao Cuo's suggestion, Liu Chang turned the original frontier garrison army into a field army, and asked them to develop these frontier areas, self-sufficient and develop the local area at the same time. Chao Cuo's strategy was quite successful.

The largest legion of the Dahan is not the North and South Army, nor the Louchuan Army, but these frontier garrison regiments. Dahans who have reached the age of 15 have to serve. This service is not only corvee service, but also those who guard the border. There are hundreds of thousands of pawns. With the increase of the population of the big Han, the number of pawns is also increasing. They used to be responsible for the security of the frontier fortresses and logistics for the army, but now they are mainly responsible for the development of the frontier fortresses. .

Facts have proved that the development of temple organizations is far greater than that formed spontaneously by the common people.

The Border Guard Corps has become a master in the development of the frontier fortress. The rapid development of the several border counties of the Dahan is really shocking.

Not only can it reach the level of self-sufficiency, but now it can even replenish the blood of the Central Plains.Even the people in Bianjun are richer, because they have a smaller population and are more profitable on average.

Zhang Buyi excitedly described the situation of the frontier fortress. According to his words, this is an unprecedented achievement. Under His Majesty's governance, the people in the remotest border counties have a better life than the people in the capital cities of those virtuous kings in the past. it is good!

"You also visited Zhaogong?" "How is he?"

"Mr. Zhao is tough. He walks like flying. All the sons under his knees are starting their studies. The minister is not familiar with the frontier fortress, so I went to ask him for advice..."

"It's good to be tough. I haven't seen him for a long time."

"You've been driving for so long, you should go back and rest first... Tomorrow... No, come back to Houde Hall in three days!

Liu Chang looked at the red-eyed and exhausted Zhang Buyi in front of him, and he couldn't bear it.Zhang Buyi's eyes were piercing, and he said earnestly, "Your Majesty! I'm fine with you! Seeing His Majesty's face makes me feel relaxed, and I don't feel tired anymore."

"Your Majesty heard that there are female cadres in Taixue who openly opposed His Majesty's government order?" "They are just corrupt scholars, and I have dealt with them properly."

"These thieves are hateful! They should be punished! Your Majesty's decree is a long-term strategy for the country and the people. These fools don't know right and wrong, how can they oppose it?"

Zhang Buyi was a little angry, and at the same time he was even more dissatisfied with Chao Cuo. There was an act of blatant opposition to His Majesty in Taixue. What are you doing as a fake Yushi doctor? !

What a shame, as soon as I left, these female cadres and thieves showed up. If I were here, I would have to hack them all to death!

Looking at the angry Zhang Buyi, Liu Chang could only coax him a few more words before letting him go home to rest.Watching the left prime minister leave, Lu Lu shook his head in fear.

"It's a good thing that the prime minister was not there when they caused trouble... Otherwise, I'm afraid I would have insisted on executing them all." Liu Chang denied Lu Lu, "It's no doubt that although I was a little impatient, it would be more beneficial to know how to do it... ...He will not be so ____________. This mistake is to send a large bag of charcoal to the monkey for the needs of Ji. Thinking of it, it can be so successful

Effect. Even the frontier fortresses have become rich. I thought it would take at least five or sixty years. "

But Lu Lu said in a low voice: "The ability is good... Even the ability to cause trouble is not weak... King Wu has sent someone to Chang'an to plead guilty... King Jiaodong even wrote a letter, asking to come to Chang'an to explain in person"

"No problem. We are all brothers."

Liu Chang didn't care about the reaction of these princes and kings at all, although Chao Cuo's blatant impeachment of them had gone too far.

"There are still a lot of important things to do and prepare for today. I'm going to Shangfang."

Sitting in a specially-made luxurious carriage, surrounded by soldiers, Liu Chang galloped towards Shangfang Mansion. Next to his seat, there were a few design sketches. It was all because Chen Tao was useless. I told him all about it. He has so many things, but he still can't do anything. In the end, he has to come forward by himself and simply design the things he saw in his dream.
I hope they can make what they need after seeing their design sketches.

Liu Chang always believes that the Shangfang Mansion is the key to the great man's development to the present. In other words, Chao Cuo's strategy is good for the development of the frontier, but if there is no new smelting method developed by Shangfang, so many new iron farm tools, Can there be current development?

If Chen Tao can work harder and get the train he wants out, the big man will be truly invincible. Chang'an will be able to control all the land, directly control it, and even the princes and kings will be useless by then.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a little difficult.

Liu Chang made up his mind to pay attention, if Chen Tao still fails to achieve results this time, he will use the woodcutter to intimidate him!
But when Liu Chang came to Shangfang, no one came to welcome him.

The soldier was a little embarrassed, "Your Majesty, they haven't come out since this morning and we are not allowed to go in. I really don't know what they are busy with."

Liu Chang opened the door curiously, and walked in with Lu Lu directly.

In Shangfang's side yard, a group of people surrounded it, and the atmosphere was exceptionally quiet, only the faint sound of water bubbles could be heard.

Hearing this voice, Liu Chang trembled all over, steam engine? ?

He hurriedly squeezed forward and pushed away ink practitioners one after another by taking advantage of his size, until he got to the very inside, where Chen Tao was standing at the very inside, staring at the device in front of him intently.

Liu grew up disappointed, he didn't know what it was, anyway, it wasn't the steam engine he wanted to see.But in principle, this seems to be a steam engine again.

Chen Tao found a tripod from nowhere. There was a hollow ball connected to the tripod through two hollow pipes. Boiling water was burning inside the tripod. The ball had two pipes to vent gas. The ball began to spin rapidly, the fire became more and more intense, and the speed of the ball became faster and faster, and even reached an astonishing speed at one point... Chen Tao's eyes were fiery, looking at this simple and neat equipment, in the past, every time His Majesty saw He would always mention his so-called steam engine, and talk about the magical effect of steam, and the urgency of his words made Chen Tao very suspicious.

How much power can this steam generate?

Until today, he finally had a complete understanding of steam power.For these craftsmen, it is rare not to make it by hand, but to understand His Majesty's brain.What His Majesty said is very simple, but it is more difficult for them to understand.

This ball was made by Chen Tao himself. This is the first time that steam power shows its existence. This thing is useless, just an entertainment toy, but he is the pioneer of steam power, the world's first steam engine, The steam ball appeared 200 years in advance.

That's right, 200 years, about 1000 years later, there was a mathematician Hiro in ancient Rome. Of course, there was still controversy over his nationality. He built such a thing and recorded its principles in his own In his manuscript, he also recorded many things, including one of the earliest and oldest vending machines. In the future steam mania, this manuscript has been read many times, which can provide the basis for scientific inventions more than [-] years later. There is no one anymore.

During this period before and after AD, East and West were all

Birth in large numbers, thinking and science are blooming at both sides. Mathematicians, thinkers, and inventors on both sides have come up with one after another shocking theories and inventions, which can be called the time when human beings shine.

Chen Tao looked at the device in front of him excitedly. In fact, with Liu Chang's theoretical foundation, it is not difficult to make such a thing.

But this is a breakthrough from scratch. If you understand the principle, maybe you can start to study the car that His Majesty mentioned?Power is given by steam. If this ball is turned into a wheel, then will the car that His Majesty mentioned be made? ?A car that can move itself? ?

"What is this?" Liu Chang suddenly asked.

Chen Tao, who was carefully observing the air spinning ball, was so frightened that he almost jumped up. He suddenly turned his head and saw that His Majesty was standing beside him.

"Your Majesty!!" "Your Majesty!!"

Everyone in Shangfang was panicked, and they hurriedly bowed to see each other, but Liu Chang pulled Chen Tao indifferently, "You did it?" "Yes, I made several sets, and only this one succeeded. A big enough tripod, with a fire underneath, there are four such balls, connected to the wheels. By turning, the whole car is driven.”

Liu Chang's eyes lit up, "Go on!"

"Your Majesty, these are only at the theoretical stage, and I have to do it first." "Do it! Go ahead and do it!! Regardless of the cost!"

Liu Chang waved his hand, his eyes full of longing, he asked Lu Lu to take out the things, and threw a few design sketches to Chen Tao, "These will definitely help you. Here are the simplest steam engines. The blueprint. It’s about the same as what you think, come on, let’s find a place to sit down and talk.”

Chen Tao didn't have a study room here, so the two simply found a step and sat directly on the step. Liu Chang took out the sketch and explained it seriously. Chen Tao sat beside him and looked at it very carefully. Ask from time to time.

"How is the development of the musket?"

"Three of the completed ones exploded when fired. The fourth one didn't explode, but it didn't do much damage at all, just a bluff.
"The proportion of gunpowder and the barrel are very problematic"

During this period of time, Shang Fang’s greatest invention should have been the world’s first simple lathe, which was used to cut and make tools, and then improved the glass, and unlocked the mirror and telescope by the way. Now they are starting to focus on the steam engine again. And military muskets, this progress made Liu Chang quite satisfied.

It seems that his investment in Shangfang these years has not been in vain, and Chen Tao and his Mo family did not let him down.Today's Mohists also have a good influence in Taixue. While they are starting to apply science, they also restarted the research on theoretical science. The number of Mohist students in Taixue exceeds 400, although they are not as good as Confucianism, Huang Lao, etc. Such a behemoth is also very good. It is not easy to absorb the students of the imperial court. Chen Tao also dug out a few Mohists from the theoretical school. The Mohist school's theoretical school has long since disappeared with Qi , Now the ones he can find are not very powerful, and two of them have jumped over from other schools of thought.

Holding the Mohist scriptures annotated by Liu Chang, they began to tell their disciples the logic, optics, physics, chemistry, mathematics, etc. of Mohism.

The Mohist Scriptures that Liu Chang had annotated were extremely detailed, and the number of words had quadrupled. In the name of annotations, Liu Chang put all the relevant scientific knowledge into it.

When the Mohist disciples learned the identity of the commentator, they cheered up immediately. Anyone who didn't take this class well would be suspected of deceiving the emperor.

The teacher also said the same thing, if you fail the assessment, it is disrespectful to the emperor, you better think about the consequences and study hard!

If you fail the assessment of other schools, you will be scolded, but here you will be punished.

"You did a good job, keep working hard! Work hard! If you can make a real steam engine...I will make you the Prime Minister of the State!" Liu Chang patted Chen Tao's shoulder and skillfully drew a big cake for him.

Liu Chang was indeed very happy. If steam power could be used, what kind of tribute would he need? He would chop off the heads of the kings of various countries while sitting on the train. Wherever the railway was built, it would be the land of the big man.

Exit from Shangfang Mansion
When he came, Liu Chang happily hummed the song of Yan Guo, and began to think about the big man in the future.

However, Liu Chang's happy mood only lasted for about half an hour. When he just entered Chang'an, he encountered a scene that made his blood pressure soar.

That's right, that little boy.

At this moment, that little boy was fighting with a group of people, and beside him was Xia Houci, who had a thick head and a thick head.Not far away was Dong Zhongshu, a seemingly simple and honest guy, but with a wooden stick in his hand, while they were mingling together, he secretly went up to beat the sap.

I can vaguely see a few embroidered clothes standing not far away, at a loss for what to do. "Your Majesty, this."

"Let's go without seeing anything!"

Lu Lu was very interested. He bypassed them, looked at the soldiers running wildly in the distance, and said with a smile: "Why did they fight with my family? The one who got hit was my cousin's family... ...The one standing far away and not daring to approach is the second child of the elder brother’s family.”

"The beating was quite fierce...but not as fierce as we used to be...we beat the soldiers together..." Feng
"Retribution, retribution."

Liu Chang suddenly felt the tiredness of his father.

"I have to let him go to the country as soon as possible. He stays in Chang'an, and I will be pissed off by him sooner or later." Feng Guofeng arrived at the gate of the sky and Liu Chang saw the drum sigh at the left gate Just after returning to the gate of the palace, Liu Chang looked To Han Ying standing at the door.

He seemed to have been waiting here for a long time, but he hadn't seen him for a few days, but his demeanor was completely different. It was no longer the self-confidence that could be seen at a glance, and he began to become a little reserved.

Seeing the emperor's carriage, he hurriedly bowed to see him, and Liu Chang beckoned him to get on his carriage.Han Ying became a little silent.

Liu Chang knew this well, and the whole Chang'an hardly had any secrets from him.

Especially An's mansion, where there are so many people talking, there is no need for Liu Chang to send someone to inquire about it, their own retainers will tell the outside, Liu Zhang feels that the work of the Prince's mansion is the best, just listen.

"Your Majesty. These are the follow-up memorials. Please have a look." Liu Chang took the memorial and put it aside without rushing to read it. "I heard that you also visited the prince?" "Yes." "Then what did he say?"

Han Ying was a little hesitant, and said falteringly: "Your Highness has put forward a new view on my proposition." Han Ying really didn't dare to say it directly. After all, the idea that the prince improved is very suitable for today's big man, but... It is easy to lose your head if you put forward such a claim in front of His Majesty. That idea is a kind of questioning of the system of loyalty to the monarch, and it is suspected of disloyalty.

"It's about being loyal to the country, right?"

Liu Chang didn't really care about this, he said with a smile: "Actually, it's just a variant of Mencius's thought. The people are the most expensive. Every time I eat wine, I like to pull this stick to tell some truths... some things I was stolen by this scorpion, and I don’t know how much he has learned. However, his idea is indeed good. In today’s big man, the people of various countries are strangers to each other, and the people of the county and the county regard each other as outsiders. , not to mention those remote areas, simply put, it lacks the concept of a unified country that An said.”

"He has improved your thinking to a new level."

"If Mr. Huang formally adopted this system, it would be of great significance to this big man who is as loose as sand... You, it's better to hide from An Duo, why bother him? That Zhuzi is a narrow-minded man If you don’t tell me, he won’t care. If you go to him and take the initiative to talk about this matter, how can he let it go? Now Chang’an is talking about this matter. You are in a hurry some."

Hearing the emperor's evaluation, Han Ying took a deep breath.

He mustered up his courage, and said loudly: "I am not talented enough to learn, so I specifically asked His Highness for advice, and wanted to learn the essence of Huang Lao.

"Your Highness teaches by precepts and deeds. You don't think that your ministers are mean, and teach them carefully. Although your ministers are stupid, they are very beneficial." "Yiji will also teach her

Seeing Han Ying bursting out with self-confidence again, Liu Chang felt a little nervous.

surprise.Han Ying quickly took out another memorial from his sleeve. "Your Majesty, please look"

"what is this?"

"This is my improvement based on Your Highness's system of loyalty to the country. I followed the example of Huang Lao and improved your Highness's idea of ​​improvement. Although His Highness's idea is good, it has flaws, and it is easy to be usurped by unruly people, forming a confrontation. But the minister thinks that loyalty to the country and loyalty to the monarch are not opposites, the king and the family and the country are one, and loyalty to the country means loyalty to the monarch.”

Han Ying spoke loudly, with extremely firm eyes.Liu Chang was really surprised this time.Do you really learn? ?

ps: I don’t know if I’m allergic to something or I’m sick, my arm is full of red spots, itchy and painful.
