Father Han Gaozu

Chapter 49 Who is going to call the imperial doctor's order?

Liu Chang just walked to Liu Ying's side, and before the gift was delivered, Liu Ying grabbed his hand, dragged him to her side, and made him sit down next to her.

Liu Ying touched his head with a smile, then looked at Xiao He and said, "This is my seventh brother-in-law."

Xiao He smiled, "I've heard its name for a long time."

Liu Chang looked at the kind uncle in front of him, no, it should be an old grandfather. He looks much older than his father, with gray hair and beard, but his appearance is dignified and full of temperament, Liu Chang can't help but sigh: What a handsome old man what!This is much more handsome than my father!

"Long, meet the Prime Minister soon."

"Prime Minister?"

Liu Chang looked at Xiao He with disdain on his face, what happened to your Prime Minister?When I see my grandfather, I don't compliment!
"Don't be rude to Xiang Xiang!"

Seeing Liu Chang's mean-spirited appearance, Liu Ying patted him on the back of the head, and looked at Xiao He helplessly, "The inferior brother is young, please forgive the Prime Minister."

"Xiao Xiang?? Xiao He???"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, he hurriedly stood up and sat directly beside Xiao He, "Are you Xiao He?"

"Exactly."

"Oh, second brother, you said it earlier, since it's Xiao He, it's time to worship, it's time to worship."

Only then did Liu Chang stand up and bow to Xiao He.

"Elder brother, don't call your elders by their names."

"No problem, no problem, sit down."

Xiao He smiled and didn't care about this guy's rude behavior at all. After Liu Chang sat down obediently, Xiao He looked at his appearance and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This baby really looks like his grandfather. Like more.

"It's like this, the prince thinks: to find a way to properly arrange the refugees who escape the war. The prince's idea is to manufacture a large number of textile machines, establish government-run centralized textile places in Luo, Liang, Yan and other places to recruit refugees. , let them work for the government”

"This textile machine was made by the son. The textile machine still has many defects, and the parts are very easy to be damaged. I wonder if the son can improve it? It's okay to reduce the efficiency, as long as it can be more stable, there is no problem. ."

"This"

Liu Chang frowned. He knew that the textile machine he made was indeed not perfect, but after all, he figured out the machine based on his vague memory, and he was not a professional. Can't find a good way.

"I have seen the blueprint drawn by His Royal Highness, and the craftsmen said that the blueprint seems to be defective and several important parts are missing."

"I'll find a way. Can someone from Shangfang help me?"

"Of course, as long as Your Highness wants to, you can call anyone, not just Shang Fang!"

In the future topics, there will be no matter of Liu Chang. Liu Ying and Xiao He talked about a series of issues, in addition to the disaster victims, there are also how to deal with the problem of next year's food production reduction. on the battlefield.There are fewer people cultivating, and if there is no countermeasure, then there will be a situation where the cultivated land is in a trance, the food is insufficient, and a large number of people starve to death.

Sitting beside them, Liu Chang didn't say a word, just listened carefully.

Xiao He had a lot of things to do. After talking with Liu Ying for a while, he got up in a hurry. In addition to domestic affairs, he was also responsible for the logistics of the war.After sending Xiao He away, Liu Ying took Liu Chang back to her position and asked him about the situation during the journey.

Liu Chang originally had a lot of things he wanted to brag about, but after the conversation between Liu Ying and Xiao He just now, those brags instantly became meaningless.

"Brother, is the big man so short of food?"

"On the way, I have seen no people who are not holding agricultural tools and are ready to farm. They have been working hard all the time, why are there still shortages of food?"

Liu Ying let out a long sigh, and her face became a little complicated.

"The national treasury has always been empty all the year round. There is no savings."

"The Central Plains area is fine, you haven't gone to enough places, you don't know, the people in most places in Dahan can't have enough to eat, they just barely make ends meet, and they don't starve to death. Of course, people starve to death every year. , and many prime ministers have also thought of many ways. The situation of reducing taxes and not using corvés is better than a few years ago, but it has not improved much."

"Insufficient food, insufficient farm tools, and less than a year's worth of cattle, there are more than 6000 people who have died of starvation reported in letters from all over the country.

"Alas, there are always wars in the country. Every time there is a war, it will destroy the efforts of four or five years. This is why the Prime Minister has repeatedly written letters and insisted that the Queen put the Marquis of Huaiyin to death."

Liu Ying saw Liu Changdai sitting on the spot without saying a word.

"What do you think?"

"It's nothing."

Liu Chang panicked and left the palace as if he were fleeing.

The Jiaofang Palace without Empress Lv became deserted. Occasionally, a few attendants or palace maids who didn't make a sound of footsteps hurriedly passed by. Liu Chang sat on the stone steps, resting his chin on his hands, staring blankly. far away, sighing.

"What are you thinking about?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, then raised his head, Liu Heng was standing in front of him, with his hands behind his back, staring at him indifferently.

"Fourth brother? Why are you here?"

"Gong Gai changed the book again. He asked me to give it to you. I will go to Tianlu Pavilion tomorrow."

"Oh."

Liu Chang took the book and continued to sit.

Liu Heng thought for a while, then sat beside him, and the two of them looked into the distance together.

"Fourth brother."

"Ok?"

"I finally know why you don't eat beef."

"Ah."

"I don't know. How many cattle have I eaten over the years?"

"No problem, the ones you eat are mostly dead cows."

"There are so many people in the world who can't afford to eat. But I can't do anything."

"Why can't you do it? Didn't you improve the spinning machine? This can save a lot of people."

"Cloth can't be eaten as food. Even if you have to replace it with cloth, you have to have food to replace it."

"Then you can improve the agricultural tools. You have such a talent, you can't waste it."

"But I don't know anything about agricultural tools, fourth brother. I have dismantled a spinning wheel, but I have never seen any agricultural tools. I have never been on the ground, and I have never worked a day." Liu Chang said aggrieved.

Liu Heng frowned sharply, and he scolded angrily: "What kind of bastard are you talking about!"

"Did the Marquis of Huaiyin fight when they were born? Did the Prime Minister know how to run the country when he learned to walk? Did Marquis Liu know how to strategize when he went to the ground?"

"Didn't they all master these skills through learning? You dare not even try and learn, so how dare you give up?"

"But it's different."

"What's the difference! Are the skills they have mastered not as good as your skills as a machine?!"

"I"

Liu Chang's eyes widened, and he was speechless for a long time.

"If you can make such a machine at this age, it is enough to prove that you are talented. Don't waste your talent. If you don't understand, learn from people who understand! If you want to do something for the people of the world, then Just don't sit here and sigh, what's the use? You feel guilty ten thousand times, will the people live better? If you don't eat beef again, can every household have cattle?"

"Do something! Even if you fail, it's much better than sitting here in a daze!"

"it is good!"

Liu Chang jumped up suddenly, "I'll go to Shangfang now!"

"I want to make a lot of machines! I want clothes that everyone in the world can wear! Eat and eat!"

"Then what are you doing here?!"

Liu Chang immediately ran towards Shang Fang. After a few steps, he suddenly stopped and ran back, pointing at Liu Heng, "By the way, although you are my brother, but next time you dare to If you scold me, don't blame me for doing it with you! I'll spare you this time! Don't let it happen again!"

After speaking, Liu Chang ran away without a trace.

Liu Heng sat on the stone steps and laughed out loud as he watched the short figure disappear.

"This dick!"

"I am coming!!"

Liu Chang rushed into Shangfang Mansion and shouted loudly, "Is there a spinning wheel ready? Bring me one, and let's see if there is anything that can be improved!"

"By the way, bring me all kinds of farm tools, and find me a few who understand farming tools!"

"Also, find me a few people who have been promoted for making machines, the more the better!"

"This is for the people of the world!"

The craftsmen and eunuchs in Shangfang Mansion looked at Liu Chang, who was stunned, and looked at each other.
