Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 16 The Marquis of Wuyang

Liu Chang can no longer continue to make textile machines in Jiaofang Hall.

Because now he is no longer alone.

Liu Bang sent the eunuch named Duan Shun to his side. Chang Liu didn't like this guy at first, but after a few conversations, the two became acquainted.This guy has the same hobbies and hobbies as Liu Chang, both of them like these machines, and he can understand some of the mechanical principles that Liu Chang told him.

During the conversation with him, Liu Chang just learned that the palace has its own manufacturing department.

The largest manufacturing department is Shaofu. Shaofu is one of the nine ministers. It is in charge of the royal family's finances and royal supplies. Under the name of Shaofu, there is a Shang Fangling, who is responsible for making weapons and making utensils for the palace.

Eunuchs serve as orders of Shang Fang. There are eunuchs and some excellent craftsmen in the department.Liu Chang didn't know that there was such a department in the palace.If he knew a little about history, he would know that in the near future, there will be a very famous Shang Fangling named Cai Lun.

"It's a pity, if the son is not the royal family, this item alone will be able to promote two ranks."

Duan Shun shook his head and said.

It doesn't matter to Liu Chang. He is a son. When he grows up, he is the king. He can't be promoted any further.

Liu Chang is making textile machines in Shangfang Mansion at the moment. Here, he doesn't have to do it himself. There are more than [-] people here, all of them are excellent old craftsmen. These are found by Liu Bang from all over the country. The best craftsman, Liu Chang's craftsmanship is completely unattractive in front of them.

On the first day he came here, an elderly craftsman looked at the simple tenon and mortise and shook his head helplessly with a bitter face.

Probably because of Liu Chang's identity, when Liu Chang asked him how his craft was, he just said, "I have a lot of ideas."

They made a new one, and the idea was still according to Liu Chang's, but the textile machine they made was two times longer than the one made by Liu Chang. When Liu Chang made it, he thought about how to save wood. , Therefore, many parts are almost next to each other, but these craftsmen pursue efficiency and stability, so they are larger.

Liu Chang began to fall into a situation of doing nothing. He looked at the craftsmen every day. The idea of ​​​​improving the textile machine was very simple. When these craftsmen disassembled the semi-finished product at first glance, they already knew the principle and did not give Liu Chang any advice. Any chance of pretending to be slapped in the face will be created with a sullen head.

Liu Chang's only pastime is chatting with these craftsmen.

Liu Chang doesn't like to chat with those eunuchs, it's not that he looks down on these people, it's just that these people have stayed in the palace for too long, and they all talk in a certain way. Not much to say, absolutely do not speak if you can.

But these simple craftsmen were different. They were still a little afraid of Liu Chang at first, but when they found that the emperor's son was similar to his own poor boy, they let go, and they occasionally used the rest. Timber made some small toys for Liu Chang, and also chatted with him with a smile.

"Six of the four children in the family died young, and the oldest of the four is 16 years old, and it's time to get married."

At any time, it seems that parents’ greatest wish is to let their children start a family, but the difference is that in this era, if the child exceeds a certain age and does not start a family, there will be a fine, and it can’t be said to be a fine. Plus tax.

This system was formulated by the violent Qin. Dahan pushed the marriage age one year back in the violent Qin system to show that he was completely different from the violent Qin.You can see it, forget it, you know it even if you don’t say it.If you didn't copy it, you didn't copy it, and it was said to be violent Qin.

These craftsmen worship Liu Bang very much. They believe that there must be some great power in Liu Bang. Although their life is not very good, they are still very satisfied. According to them, in the previous dynasty, they helped the emperor's family. They don't give money for making utensils, but now they are given a certain amount of remuneration. This is the greatness of Liu Bang in their eyes.

If so, Liu Bang's greatness seems a little small.The peasants in ancient China were easily satisfied. A little favor from the rulers could make them grateful, and if they met an emperor who had been benevolent all his life and had done countless good things for the people, they could even be grateful. For hundreds of years, refer to a fourth brother who does not like words.

"With His Majesty's gift, life is enough, but I can't go out here, so I miss my family a little bit. I haven't seen my family for four years. I always ask people to help me write letters."

Liu Chang listened carefully to their words, and sometimes expressed his own opinions, but he never had the opportunity to intervene in the textile machine.

Of course, Han Xin's lessons here have to continue.

Han Xin was already defeated by Liu Changzheng, and Han Xin's flowers and plants in the front yard were also ruined by Liu Chang.At this moment, for Liu Chang, he has automatically entered the state of Liu Bang, and he is no longer trying to test on the edge of his hands, but has already begun to really do it.

Of course, before he started, Han Xin wrote a presentation sheet to Liu Bang. In the sheet, he talked a lot about the problem of teachers educating disciples, and took Confucius and others as examples, he talked a lot, and wrote thousands of words.And Liu Bang's reply to him was very simple, just one word, "hit".

Then, Han Xin's slaves could often see scenes where Han Xin held up his shoes and chased the big Han prince in the courtyard.

"You built a new spinning wheel?"

Han Xin narrowed his eyes and looked at Liu Chang suspiciously.

"Master, what kind of eyes are you looking at? I really made it, and my father will officially announce it in two days at the latest. The machine is old and powerful. You will be shocked when you see it."

No matter how Liu Chang explained, Han Xin didn't believe it.

Halfway through Liu Chang's basic course, Han Xin began to simulate battles with him, usually citing famous battles in history with him, and occasionally starting from reality.

"A good attacker must be able to defend first. If you were to be the commander-in-chief, how would you defend yourself?"

Liu Chang thought seriously and replied: "I will deploy two-thirds of my troops at the east gate, near Wutai and Gouyi Hall, because the east gate is very empty, and there will be fewer soldiers at the north gate. Some, because Changle Palace can play a buffering role, the enemy will not attack the palace from here."

"You are looking down on the deployment of the royal mausoleum."

"Who is Wang Ling?"

"Lang Zhongling."

"It turns out that Lang Zhongling's name is Wang Ling. This person is incompetent. The armored soldiers on defense are always a bunch of people, all gathered at the south gate, and I don't know how to rotate."

"Okay, let me ask you again, if you have no food in your camp, you will be surrounded by enemies on three sides."

While they were teaching, Gu suddenly walked in and said angrily, "There are guests here, the Marquis of Wuyang asks to see you."

Han Xin raised his head and thought for a moment before saying, "Let him in."

Just when Liu Chang was thinking about who the Marquis of Wuyang was, a fierce man who was a circle stronger than Gu walked into the room. The fierce man stood there, and it was frightening. He was really a man like an iron tower.Although he is tall and looks very difficult to be provoked, his face is filled with a fake smile, and his aura is a little shorter.

"Chen Fan Kuai pays respects to the king."

"Ah."

Han Xin was relatively cold to him, but Fan Kuai didn't think it was anything, so he respectfully knelt aside.

"Are you Fan Kuai??"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, looking at the fierce man in front of him.

"Seventh son, I am Fan Kuai."

Fan Kuai didn't look fierce at all. He didn't have the momentum of eating raw pork in the textbook, which made Xiang Yu convinced. Liu Chang stretched out his hand and touched his arm. Fan Kuai's arm was thicker than Liu Chang's thigh, and it was hard. Fan Kuai smiled. Laugh, let Liu Chang get started.

Han Xin, however, had a business-like attitude, with a cold face, and said nothing.

"Did you really eat raw pork at the Hongmen Banquet?"

"Have eaten."

"what about the taste?"

"forget."

"Then do you want to try again, I can treat you to eat."

Seeing the two fools in front of them chatting like this, Han Xin caught fire and interrupted their conversation, "The Marquis of Wuyang suddenly came to visit, but what's the matter?"
