Rejuvenation of the Han Dynasty in the Three Kingdoms

Chapter 115 Worries from the Old Father
Liu He raised his eyebrows and looked at these fat profiteers, and said with emotion: "These guys are really rich!"

Thinking of asking them to donate some money and food for disaster relief a few years ago, they all cried and complained about their poverty, as if they were about to beg for food, and now they are spending tens of thousands of dollars for a table.

This is just a small local tyrant in Zhuo County, and you can imagine the other gentry.

After thinking for a moment, Liu He stood up and said to several people: "Since I like the Lu family's furniture so much, I will sell it together. Tomorrow morning, you will wait for me at the government office and I will take you to choose."

Everyone was overjoyed and bowed again and again: "Thank you, Your Majesty!"

Liu Heyan said: "The Lu family has quite a lot of furniture, I'm afraid you won't be able to collect it all, so I'll ask some wealthy people to come over tomorrow."

The faces of the few people changed slightly, and they agreed perfunctorily, but they obviously didn't want others to share the pie. Liu He didn't say anything, and ordered: "Get someone to take away the furniture from the government office immediately, and send someone to hand over the money to you when you go back." High success is enough."

Several merchants went happily, but Tian Feng was stunned, and immediately said: "Your Majesty, you sold the property of the government privately. This is a crime of using treasury money privately, and you will be sent to the army."

Liu He coughed lightly and said with a dry smile: "Aren't I going to buy new furniture? Is it for private use?"

Tian Feng persuaded: "Your Majesty, this matter violates the law and must not be violated, otherwise Zhuge County Governor will not be able to explain it when asked."

Liu He said with a smile: "Don't worry, sir, within three days, I will definitely replace all the furniture, and it will be better than the original one."

General Tian Feng was doubtful and said sternly: "If we don't see new furniture in three days, or if the prince passes it off as a good one, I will definitely report it to Ambassador Liu."

"Okay, okay, I'm afraid of you, sir, I'll have a look at it myself!" Liu He felt helpless, feeling the power of the admonishing minister for the first time.

Tian Feng turned his elbow outward, or did he dig it himself?

After leaving Zhuo County, Liu He rushed back to the mansion without stopping. Fortunately, the distance between the two places was only four or five miles, which was not too far.

After arriving at the mansion, Ming Xing asked someone to bring in a batch of finished furniture and put them in the study, including a set of desks and bookshelves, antique racks, and a set of sofa and coffee table.

There is no spring yet, so the sofa is fixed under the sofa with tendon, hemp rope and rattan, and then a layer of animal skin is placed on it. It is very warm when sitting in winter, and the service life is shorter, but it is also an epoch-making work.

At dinner time, Liu He took his family to the study. They saw that the place was suddenly filled with strange utensils. Liu Yu and others were surprised, and they all came forward to touch and look at them.

When Liu Yu first came to the Hou Mansion, he saw that many rooms were empty, and thought that Liu He was frugal and refused to lay them out. How could he know that his proud son was waiting for new furniture!

"Brother, what is this? It's so soft!" Liu Rui sat on the sofa, shaking his calf with a happy face.

"Do you like it?" Liu He said with a smile: "This is called a sofa, and it is specially used for resting and relieving fatigue."

"I like it so much, it's more comfortable than my bed, hehe!" Liu Rui smiled and lay down on the sofa.

"When spring comes, if there are some flowers and plants on this shelf, it will be very beautiful."

Mrs. Wang, however, likes the ingenious Bogu shelf, which is designed with scattered heights and looks exquisite.

Liu He looked back at Liu Yu looking at the desk with his hands behind his back, walked over and said, "Father, this is a desk made by a craftsman, please try it first."

"Desk?" Liu Yu frowned slightly, turned to look at the other furnishings, and finally walked behind the desk. He had never seen such a large desk before.

Liu He went over to help Liu Yu to sit in the grand teacher's chair, Liu Yu twisted his body: "Boxing, who is this?"

Liu He put back the Four Treasures of the Study that he had just removed, and said with a smile, "Father, will you try again?"

Liu Yu touched the armrest for a while, reached out and took a roll of bamboo slips, opened it in front of his eyes, and drew a few gestures on it with a pen, finally his eyes lit up: "Hiss——"

Liu Heyan said: "Sitting like this, reading and writing, I won't feel tired, my waist won't be sore, and my back won't hurt..."

Liu Yu's eyes sparkled and he looked very happy. He nodded frequently after listening to Liu He's introduction.

Liu He, like a professional sales consultant, gestured at the desk and continued: "The desk is more spacious, it can hold official documents, letters and more books, and it is much easier to get up and move around. There are also drawers on both sides, which can be used to store private things. Things can also be locked and stored, and there is a secret compartment here, which most people don't know..."

"Boxing, did you make this table?" At some point, Mrs. Wang and the others gathered around, and they were all shocked when they heard Liu He's introduction.

Liu He chuckled, nodded and said, "This was made through joint discussion between the child and several carpenters, just to make things more convenient. How does your father feel?"

Liu Yu twisted his body, grasped the armrest with both hands, nodded and said: "This... the desk is indeed much more comfortable than the desk."

"Father likes it!" Liu He breathed a sigh of relief. Sure enough, everyone likes a more comfortable environment. As long as Liu Yu thinks it is good, it will not be difficult to promote it.

"However, these are all ingenious things for pleasure, and you should not waste your energy on them in the future!" The joy on Liu Yu's face quickly disappeared, and he said seriously: "Man, you must put state affairs first. When you enter the noble ranks and get promoted, you must always remember the grace of God."

"My child will never forget it for a moment!" Seeing that he was talking clichéd again, Liu He hurriedly said, "Father, come and try this sofa again. We will have dinner here today."

The whole family sat around the tea table, Liu Yu frowned and said, "This sofa is not bad, but there is no seniority, how can it be decent?"

"Uh, this..." Liu He was taken aback for a moment, and forgot about this. The feudal era was the most important about status, and it was really not suitable to sit on the sofa as equals.

Liu Rui pouted and said displeasedly: "Daddy, I think this place is pretty good!"

Liu Yu glanced at Liu Rui who was lazily leaning on the sofa, his eyes softened a lot, and he said with a smile: "Forget it, the two wives and I are going back to the living room, you brothers and sisters can eat here!"

Liu He hurriedly saw each other off, and Liu Yu walked to the door, suddenly turned around and pointed at the desk and said, "Oh, by the way, do you still have this desk?"

Liu He said with a smile: "Of course, I will send a set to my father's study tomorrow, and I will send another set to Jicheng after the Chinese New Year. After that, I will send craftsmen to open factories everywhere."

"Hmm... It seems that Boxing wants to use this as a business," Liu Yu frowned slightly, and said, "Of course you won't stop him from doing business to make money as a father, but you can't do it yourself, and waste your will. You must focus on big things."

Liu He couldn't help being helpless, and said in his heart that if he really wanted to tell his ambitions, he might scare Liu Yu to death on the spot!
But I also understand that this comes from the worry of the old father. Liu Yu is worried that Liu He has just gained fame. If he indulges in these things, it will not only be a pity, but also make people laugh.

Immediately, he promised that this matter would be handed over to other people in the future, and he would not participate in it himself, so Liu Yu left satisfied.

After sending the elders away, the four brothers and sisters sat on one side, and asked the servants to bring up the dinner. Each of them ate on a plate, discussing the furniture in the house curiously.

Liu He frowned slightly. The ancient people had different identities, they paid attention to the superiority and inferiority, and eating and drinking were divided into meals. It seems that the design and arrangement of the sofa need to be reconsidered.
