Dress to be a celebrity

The king of Zhou advised against the forced recruitment of strong men, and proposed to change the military station into a commercial station. Less than a month later, the imperial edict was passed down in Beijing, and what he played was approved. will comply.

The imperial decree approved the dolomite powder and stone brick official business, and ordered them to use the dolomite brick and the refined nameless difference-that is, potassium permanganate as a tribute every year.But because these things can only be produced by one garden now, and they are not attractive enough for people to buy, so this year, they will not use the things they produce, and will still change the salt-for-silver exchange for salt-in-for-grain, so as to make up enough grain and grass at the border.

In two years, they will produce more fire-resistant dolomite bricks, enough for the imperial court to exchange for enough grain and grass, and then use it to exchange for grain.

King Zhou, governor Yang, and Huan Ling kowtowed in the direction of the capital to thank them, received the imperial decree, and discussed the next steps.

Master Yang reminded the king of Zhou: "The matter of the commercial settlements is handled by the household department, but His Highness still has to arrange for people to be held accountable for the forced recruitment of civilian husbands. They are for the people."

Huan Ling also said: "Your Majesty also has this intention. Your Majesty ordered His Royal Highness to calm down Jiubian, and also ordered the lower officials to accompany him, which also means to inspect. The Xiaguan would like to ask for orders to visit Jiubian again to verify this matter."

At this time, the King of Zhou had his own plan, pressed Huan Ling's shoulder and said: "How can I ask Mr. Huan to inspect it alone, this matter belongs to the prince!"

His father told him to come to Hanzhong to "calm down the soldiers on the nine sides".Shanxi Town and Yulin Town belong to Shaanxi. He can still be a general in Hanzhong, but there are also places in Gansu, Ningxia, Shanxi, Datong, Xuanfu, Jizhen, Liaodong, etc. Sooner or later he should go there personally to experience Check the military situation and military affairs, and stabilize the hearts of the generals, officers and soldiers.

Although Huan Ling is also an angel who came out of Beijing, he is only a fourth-rank imperial censor and his in-law... Because of his affairs, it is inevitable that he will be a little embarrassed to be demoted from Beijing.And most of the newly exchanged generals at the border are from noble families, and some are even related to the family of his second brother's mother and concubine. Rule over?

Only he, the prince, can suppress everyone.

In fact, Yang Rong and Huan Ling also wanted to achieve this, but the son of a daughter could not sit still, and no one dared to put the prince in danger, so they all advised him to be more prudent and just sit in Hanzhong.

This time, it was rare for the King of Zhou to stick to his own ideas: "Father immediately approved the memorial we submitted, which shows that he is also very concerned about the matter of the military settlement and hates it deeply. How can I, as a son, not do my best for my father? ?”

This……

The emperor sent King Zhou to the border with the intention of training, but now it's only June, and when the weather is hot, is it not a crime to patrol the border?It will be October when we arrive in Liaodong. In the cold weather, we will tour from the northeast to the northwest. King Zhou's golden and jade body can't bear it, right?What's more, the big captives outside the pass are watching like a tiger. If someone crosses the border, I'm afraid the king of Zhou will suffer from it!

The two wanted to discuss their interests, but the king of Zhou made up his mind to inspect it himself, and persuaded them instead: he just went to the provinces to meet the generals stationed in the towns and urge them to act according to the order, and he didn't want to go to the border in person. What dangers can you encounter in combat?

Besides, he didn't intend to travel all over the Nine Sides at once, this time he just went from Hanzhong to Liaodong first.

Hanzhong to Liaodong is only about [-] miles away, and it took four months to go back and forth. When I came back, it was not a cold winter.As for the western provinces, Shaanxi is under the supervision of Mr. Yang; Ningxia Town was the first one he held accountable, and the local guard has already pleaded guilty twice. Make a mess.

If he goes straight to Liaodong, walking and patrolling all the way, he will be able to return to Hanzhong in about ten to November.

Moreover, he also had a reason in his heart that he couldn't say out loud because of his personal thoughts: Princess Huan's family was due to give birth in September or October. At that time, he happened to be returning from a tour in Liaodong, and he might be walking to the Xuanda area. , closer to the capital.

When the time comes, he will write a letter to invite An Zhezi, and ask his father to let Uncle Huan go back to Beijing for him to take a look.Although I can't go home to see my wife and children in person, I can talk to comfort my lovesickness if I get a little closer.

He had made up his mind, so he wrote a letter in front of the two of them, informing his father of his intention to go north for inspection.

Master Yang couldn't persuade him, so he resolutely let go of this matter and planned to go to Shaanxi and Yulin to investigate the situation in the army for King Zhou.King Zhou's trip was much more troublesome than him. Because he didn't leave Hanzhong together, he asked the mansion to set up a reception banquet to see him off, and asked his uncle and Chang Shi to see him off outside the mansion.

Song Zhifu led the two teams of Hanzhong Mansion and Nanzheng County to follow them outside the mansion, and sent them to the ten-mile Changting Pavilion outside the city.

He was heading north this time, and happened to pass Tiantai Mountain, so he stopped by to see the experimental field filled with well water.At this time, the field is full of clumps of sword leaves, full of blue color, which makes people feel at ease when they see it.Master Yang recalled that when he first went to the field with King Zhou, he could still see a wide field between the rice seedlings, but now the long green leaves cover the water and soil, and it may be that they are about to form ears.

It's a pity that he can't see with his own eyes what the rice in Mr. Song's experimental field has grown.

When he held hands to part with everyone, he held Song Shi's hand and said: "Master Song is here in Hanzhong Mansion. I have nothing to worry about. I just think about your rice. In the future, your rice will have a good harvest. Write a letter to tell me."

Song Shi smiled and agreed: "Lord Yang, don't worry. Now the rice has only reached its fourth leaf length, and this kind of japonica rice will only bear ears when it grows four leaves. At that time, Xiaguan will send a letter to the provincial capital. I hope In the future, my lord, don't think that the official letters are too frequent, just write some trivial things."

It's about food, so what are you afraid of?He wished Song Shi could write down all the situations in the experimental fields for him.

Yang Rong nodded slightly, and said: "You can write to me at any time about the economic park and the experimental field, no matter how big or small. This matter is related to the food plan of our province and the whole world. If you can achieve such a feat, it can be called It is beneficial to the world, and nothing else is a big deal.”

After saying this, he gave Huan Qianxian and You Changshi Sima a few words in detail, telling them to protect King Zhou well along the way.They were all people close to King Zhou, so they naturally knew the seriousness, so they all solemnly agreed, thanked Mr. Yang for his concern, and watched them board the boat and leave.

After the farewell situation went back, Sima Changshi reported to King Zhou Bing, but Huan Ling had something to say to Master Song, the prefect of Hanzhong, so he parted ways with him in front of the palace, and went back to the Hanzhong government office with Song Shi.

Instead of going to the second hall to discuss matters, he openly entered the backyard where the magistrate lived.

Because what he wanted to talk about was not just about business, but also about his feelings about leaving Hanzhong, and he was reluctant to say goodbye to the prefect of Song Dynasty.

The two of them had only met for two months, but this time they parted for less than half a year, and they couldn't even come back in October, they couldn't run an academy with him, and they couldn't even give lectures with him.Huan Ling recalled the situation of giving lectures in Fujian in the past, and couldn't help feeling a little apologetic: "We haven't held a lecture conference since your pilot test. We thought we could talk with you after the rice harvest this year. Postponed. But next year..."

Song Shi raised his index finger and pressed it between his mouth: "No need to promise, didn't we know before we came to Hanzhong that you were going to be a guide for the king of Zhou and lead him to patrol the nine sides? Even if the king of Zhou doesn't patrol, you are the censor." I also have to take this role, since I am your family member, don't I support your work?"

Huan Ling was tapped by one of his fingers, just like an acupuncture point. He stood in front of him obediently and pitifully, gave a soft "um", and listened carefully to what he said.

Song Shi couldn't bear his look the most, and said with pity: "Brother Ling, you sit down first. Don't be afraid, isn't it just to accompany the prince on a business trip and be a guide? Your Brother Song has experience, and I have prepared everything for you. , you sit down, I'll get you something."

In the first half month, his refractory furnace was assembled, and a few furnaces of refractory quartz glass had just been fired. The first thing to do was to get him equipment.

Quartz glass is 0.5 grade harder than ordinary glass, more transparent and pure, without variegation.Jade hunters finely grind two pieces of concave-convex lenses with Jieyu sand, align the focal lengths, and then install them with a wooden pole with a copper mouth, which is a monocular telescope.

When going to the wilderness outside the city, on the way, ask someone to stand on the roof of the car to see what is going on around, and see if there is an ambush, in case you encounter horse thieves or the like.

He asked people to make ten of these binoculars alone, and there are also sights that are shorter than the binoculars and have crosshairs pre-drawn on the glass surface.

The gun was borrowed by Huan Ling from the palace. He measured the width and let the craftsman build it carefully, and put it on the gun body.Because this technical difficulty is a bit higher than that of telescopes, only five of them were made, and they were all mounted on the good guns borrowed by Huan Ling and the personal guards of the palace. He tried them all by himself and figured out how to aim and correct.

Anyway, one must be reserved for Huan Ling, and the rest will be given to King Zhou's guards.

In addition, he also asked people to make sunglasses out of variegated ordinary flat glass. When the sun is shining during the day, wearing sunglasses on the road can protect eyesight a little.

There is also a mink... how can you go to the Northeast without wearing a mink?Mink coats, mink muffs, wool gloves sewn with mink, long johns, woolen trousers, cotton trousers, leather trousers, wool felt socks, and big leather boots are all made to order!

Don't pursue demeanor, what kind of cloak or cape, the shape of the military padded jacket is the best.There are also big leather hats, masks, and boots with waterproof platforms and small high heels, so that it is not easy to get wet when it rains or snows.Of course, if you catch up with the snow that does not reach your thighs in the Northeast, what you wear will not work. It is better to buy a sled and experience the ethnic customs of a dog sled.

These clothes had to be made immediately, not only for their brother Huan, but also for the king of Zhou and the two long officials.

Their princes and scholars are delicate and expensive, how can they withstand the freezing weather in the northeast and northwest?Everyone, don't pay attention to whether you look good or not, the most important thing is to keep warm when it is more than ten degrees below zero or tens of degrees!
