Chapter 17 Imperceptibly
Liu Xie only proposed a concept about cement. After all, he had only a little understanding of this thing. How to improve the rest depends on the craftsmen to figure out themselves.
Life in the palace is still a bit dull after all. Liu Xie felt that it was not much better than when he was a puppet. In the past, it was someone who looked at him and restricted his freedom, but now it was he who locked himself up and said that he was not right. However, after the last assassination of Deng Zhan and others, Liu Xie had more and more guards around him day by day. Even if he left the palace in a silence, there were at least a hundred people around him. Those were veterans and elites from the battlefield, and the evil spirits spread out, spontaneously forming an aura that made people afraid. Then, after leaving the palace and following in the palace, there was no difference.
I used to yearn for the emperor's happy life, but after I became an emperor, I would find that being an emperor was actually brutal and boring without being a foolish monarch.
No wonder there were so many absurd emperors in history who were forced by this boring life. Thinking about the playboys from aristocratic families, they can often miss the Qinlou Chuguan. As an emperor, if he went to that kind of place, he would be a little unpredictable. At this time, it was not the Song Dynasty. Although Liu Xie himself would not care whether he would put some indecent hat on himself for this, it was really unnecessary.
Qinlou Chuguan, after all, is that. If he was really curious about the opposite sex, he might be a little attractive. However, although he is young now, his soul has long been ripe. After all, it is just that. Besides, the beauties around him have not picked them, so he has no intention of having fun outside.
Liu Xie doesn't like Go, a mental labor that literati and scholars prefer, but he is a little good at it, but he just bullies women who have no background in the palace.
Once, Cai Yan came to the palace to visit Tang Ji. When he met Tang Ji who was killed by Liu Xie, he was a little angry and took action. Since then, Liu Xie has no longer been interested in Go. Perhaps he is not accustomed to Liu Xie's excitement of bullying beginners, so Cai Yan took action a little ruthlessly, which gave Liu Xie a psychological shadow.
Recently, Liu Xie asked several carpenters to carve a pair of chess for him, but he hadn't found anyone to play it yet. If Go still has the atmosphere and foundation of this world, then chess is limited to knowing the rules. If others understand it, they might be able to surpass themselves as the chess master, and they would be a little confused on their face.
Especially Cai Yan, you must be careful before you practice it. Women are too smart, which is indeed not a good thing for men, and it is too depressing to be confident.
Of course, it’s not really nothing to do. As the stall grows bigger, there are naturally more things to be busy with, especially several projects in Xiliang were drafted by Liu Xie himself. Not to mention following up the whole process, at least we must know how far it has developed.
However, because of the original information transmission, what happened in Xiliang will take several days to know at the earliest. Moreover, Jia Xu has the ability to completely solve many things, and more to report on the progress and occasionally ask Liu Xie for opinions. As for Guanzhong, it has basically been on the right track. Whether it is economic form or people's livelihood, all Liu Xie has to do is to maintain the authority of these rules.
As for He Nanyin, he is still in the early stage of recruiting refugees, and he is full of things, but Liu Xie doesn't have to worry too much.
As for the interests and intrigues in the court, it is happening every day. The friction between the old and new forces is sometimes missed by civil officials and military generals. For example, Lu Bu, who has the greatest prestige, is often criticized. Of course, there are a lot of things that can be criticized about him. It is really important to mention the previous year.
However, even Liu Xie was a little surprised that Lu Bu was not very clear about Lu Bu's inner thoughts. The artificially created a dream that had a great impact on Lu Bu.
But this is good. Everyone can talk and fight with nothing. As long as they don’t leave the circle, Liu Xie generally doesn’t care about these things.
fine.
At least now everything is moving closer to Liu Xie's heart. With the emergence of cement, and the improvement of the previous ploughs and water dragon trucks, the status in the court has been continuously improved and stabilized. Although it is still unable to be in the court to participate in politics, the reputation of the Ministry of Works is not low at all among the people.
After all, it is a matter closely related to people's livelihood, especially the impact of plowing and other things on people's livelihood is not a small matter. Even when Liu Xie proposed to set up a special department to study technology to cultivate such talents and also study new technology, the resistance in the morning was unexpectedly small.
Only then did Liu Xie realize that he had gradually changed some inherent concepts in the past two years, such as the class form of scholars, peasants, industry and commerce. Although the status of scholars is still stable, the two classes of workers and peasants are now in the eyes of these officials.
As for business..., the characteristics of the industry always remind people of the literal literal form of traitor. Not only are the ministers and ministers in the court, but even in the concept of peddlers, merchants will always hurt people. If people want to realize the importance of this word, they cannot be too hasty at the moment, and there is indeed no need. If the status of merchants is really improved without corresponding means of restraint, it may become a double-edged sword.
There is a lot of chaos in the world now, and there is a lot of choice. We will do our best to promote business development. In Liu Xie's plan, that is what we do after the world is unified. As for now, there is no need to be too anxious. Slowly improve it. When the time is ripe, even if you don't say it, the importance of a businessman will still jump into everyone's eyes. It is much easier to follow the trend than to force yourself to reverse your concepts, and there will be much less rebound.
After May, a few more rains came to Guanzhong. Although it was not heavy, it was endless. Sitting in the attic, looking at the gradually formed building complex of Chengming Hall in the distance, the palace people coming and going were busy holding paper umbrellas, the lofts of the corridors, pavilions and gardens, and wearing drizzles, making people feel like they were placed in paintings.
The ladies of this era are the real ladies. Even if one is picked out from this palace, the elegant temperament of literary style is not something modern people can learn.
Of course, it is not that modern people are not good. Modern women are independent, cheerful, enthusiastic and unrestrained. They are all tastes that women of this era do not have. They can only be said to be the product of the times. After all, the environment is different. In this era, even the peddlers can speak a few words to you. In such a general environment, the overall quality of people in this aspect is naturally higher than that of later generations. There is no need to really think that the ancients were really much better than modern people in terms of temperament and qualities. There is no comparison. If you really choose, Liu Xie still feels that modern style is more suitable for you.
Cai Yan probably wouldn't come in such weather. Liu Xie asked Wei Zhong to carry a chess box and find Tang Ji's place. Lu Lingju also took Wan'er to chat with Tang Ji. The cats and dogs that jumped around the garden were lazily lying all over the ground. When Liu Xie came over, he just screamed lazily.
"I never knew that Your Majesty was coming, and I was welcomed by mistake." Tang Ji gave a little blessing. Although it was not a formal occasion, Tang Ji was born in a noble family after all, and there was never any traitorial transcendence.
"The emperor's sister-in-law is not given a gift." Liu Xie asked Wei Zhong to put the chess box and chess board on the table, and laughed: "I have recently developed some new things. Come and ask the emperor's sister-in-law to take a look at it."
"Your Majesty." Tang Ji said with a solemn expression: "Your Majesty has the gift of a wise ruler, so you must not lose your ambition."
"Even a wise monarch would not have a stern face all day long." Liu Xie smiled and said, "I have already done everything in the court before I can do it. I can't worry about state affairs all day long. As long as I control the overall situation, it's good. In the details, the court raises all officials, and it's not like to come to see me busy. The sages said: The emperor who can exhaust himself must not be a good emperor."
"This..." Tang Ji and Lu Lingju were both confused. Lu Lingju didn't read much, but felt that this sentence was a bit awkward. Although Tang Ji was not as well-read as Cai Yan, she had read a lot of them. At this moment, her eyebrows were slightly frowned: "How come the Ai family has never heard of this, but I don't know which wise man said it?"
"This..." Liu Xie looked at Tang Ji who was already preparing to look up the dictionary and couldn't help but feel a little funny. He just said casually, shook his head, changed into a serious face and said, "Liu Xie!"
“…”
After a while, everyone realized. Looking at Liu Xie's serious appearance, Lu Lingju couldn't help laughing first. Tang Ji glared at Liu Xie with anger: "How could Your Majesty be so nonsense?"
While asking Wei Zhong to set up a chessboard, Liu Xie said indifferently: "Confucius was just a scattered person who traveled through various countries back then. Today, hundreds of years later, he became a saint. My life is a wise ruler for the ages. When I wait a hundred years later, how can I know that I will become a saint?"
Lu Lingju raised her eyebrows. Although she felt that Liu Xie was a little arrogant, she always felt her heartbeat faster when she looked at Liu Xie's confident look.
Tang Ji didn't have this feeling, but just rolled her eyes helplessly and said angrily: "Your Majesty always has some fallacies."
No one can compare this to this, but if you think about it carefully, it may not be impossible. Now that Guanzhong is in great governance and people's livelihood is prosperous, even if you live in the deep palace for a long time, Tang Ji can occasionally hear some remarks. If you really continue like this, you will not talk about the Emperor of the Eternal Eternals, but it is not much worse than Guangwu.
But when I was just a teenager, I always felt a little rebellious when I thought about the things that happened hundreds of years after my death, but my eyes gradually attracted by the chessboard that Wei Zhong put on. Thirty-two chess pieces, listing chariots and horses, which seemed simple, but there was a feeling that was indescribable.
"Come on, I'll teach you."
