The days when I pretended to be a cat in the Forbidden City[Comprehensive]

The little king, who had nowhere to vomit, asked Zhang Tang to write a confession and a trial record about the crimes committed by Guan Fu. During Zhang Tang's writing, the street soldiers and officials in Zhongshan Kingdom were also all together. When they arrived, the owner of the teahouse led them in.

The little king in the white dragon fish suit is quite satisfied with the time for police dispatch.

The first to rush in were two big yellow dogs, both of which were muscular, with blazing eyes, and wearing small vests with the word Zhongshan written on them, they were particularly mighty.

When they saw the little king sitting in the main seat of the room, they immediately flicked their tails, and their expressions became cute and cute.

Wang, I saw the leader of the master!Must behave better!

The little official who came in followed closely with his eyebrows frowned, holding a stick extremely majestic, and his sinewy flesh looked very reliable, but he was stunned when he saw the happy attitude of his immediate boss sitting in the room.

This, what's going on?

Xia Anran glanced at them, nodded slightly to indicate that it was okay, then he lowered his head to identify the vest numbers of the two big yellow dogs in service, and beckoned them to come over.He put one hand on the head of the smiling dog, who was shaking his head and wagging his tail, and said while enjoying the dog's enthusiasm: "The matter has been settled, and the prison document is being written, and the criminal is willing to redeem with money, and then compensate the victim. At that time, you can find a way to find that woman, and just quietly give the money to her."

"Here."

The little king was surrounded by two big warm dogs on the left and right.These two pastoral dogs are "police dogs" bred by Zhongshan in recent years.Of course, they are far inferior to the quality of modern police dogs. After all, they are native Chinese breeds, and their body size is far inferior to modern wolf blue and black backs serving as police dogs, and their bite force is also inferior.

But pastoral dogs are smart, loyal, not easy to get sick and good at giving birth, and their size is better at running between mountains and forests, which is their advantage.

These police dogs were actually raised by the team that the little king was watching at the time. The little man back then has now become the steward of the kennel, and the big dog that was smart to find bones back then has also become a dog. boss.

The Han Dynasty liked to eat dog meat very much. In order to prevent these working dogs from being confused with the meat dogs raised by the people, the little king also issued a "Dog Management Regulations", which clearly stipulated that all domestic dogs must wear collars. If a dog with a collar is poached, it is the same crime as theft.

In Dahan, stealing is no small crime.

The little king of Zhongshan Kingdom showed such an attitude, and his personal tendencies were naturally speculated and analyzed by the lower class. In almost only half a year, many dog ​​meat shops, large and small, were closed in the streets.

Xia Anran himself was taken aback by this news. Although he is a dog lover, he also knows very well that dog meat is a very precious source of protein for the current big Han people.

He doesn't want to ban people from eating dog meat.In this environment, banning dog meat is as useless as telling people to eat tree bark is not nutritious during a great famine.What's more, if the animals are raised by themselves and not obtained illegally, then the little king has no right to stop them from treating them without infringing on the interests of others.

Fortunately, the feedback given by the people is very normal. The closure of these shops is a normal business requirement, not a coercion.

In the Western Han Dynasty, dogs were divided into three categories. The dogs that could hunt were called field dogs. This kind of dog was no less important than humans in the family. Basically, they could eat whatever people had.It's just extremely rare, one out of a hundred, and an excellent field dog can even be priced the same as a calf.

The second is the barking dog whose physique is not as good as the field dog, but dares to bark to drive away the enemy, which is commonly known as a watchdog.Their work is less difficult, their output is small, and their food is naturally worse than that of field dogs, but they can still eat.

The third category is the eliminated products of barking dogs, which are meat dogs.Like meat, chicken and duck, they are raised to eat.This kind of quantity is more.

However, the situation in Zhongshan is special now. Since Little King opened a training base and established a relatively sound training system and breeding system, most of the dogs raised in Zhongshan now have not passed the inspection of police dogs and have been eliminated. All of them have been trained. All are spiritual, intelligent, and able to understand simple passwords.

The reason for their elimination is mainly because they are too smart, because they have their own thinking and judgment, so their obedience is relatively poor, and they are timid, and they don't have enough trust in humans.Although such a dog cannot become a police dog for various reasons, it is still easy to catch a rabbit, and it can be used as a watchdog no matter how bad it is.

Moreover, there are not many dogs that have been eliminated in this way. These dogs in Zhongshan are very famous now, and most of them are bought by rich and noble families. The ones that can flow to the people are all due to connections.

Since they are working dogs, of course no one eats them.

On the other hand, in the eyes of Western Han people, the taste of dog meat is actually not as fat as that of cultivated chicken and duck.In the past, it was mainly because of the blessing of the founding emperor that dog meat became a housekeeping dish for big men. Liu Bang liked to eat dog meat, and Fan Kui was a dog slaughterer, and the advertising effect was huge.However, several emperors after the Han Dynasty were not too fond of dog meat.Not only do they not catch a cold, they also like raising dogs, and there are special breeding institutions in the royal gardens.

After several generations of nurturing, young people naturally lose interest in eating dog meat, but the most important factor is that chicken and duck meat in Zhongshan is cheap.

The chicken farms in Zhongshan Kingdom were only located in Lunu at first, but Lunu is the capital of the country after all, and there was not much difference from other county towns in the early days. With Xia Anran's careful management, the land and housing prices in Lunu soon began to soar. Chicken farms, which occupy a vast area, were immediately forced to relocate to the outskirts of the city, and then developed to surrounding counties.

After the road in Zhongshan State was re-paved, the time from Shenze Port to Lunu County was shortened to one day, and this paved road also took off with the counties and towns along the way.

Being able to reach the capital faster means that one's surplus agricultural products can be sold to the capital.Many discerning investors have chosen to set up factories in these counties and townships with lower labor costs and lower prices.

However, the issue of poultry farming has received a very high level of attention in China. Anyone in charge of a poultry farm must first receive training in poultry farming, and sign a notice after passing the training assessment.

The notice basically means that the government will send people to randomly check the poultry from time to time. If the poultry is found to be infected, the entire poultry house must be culled at that time, and the carcasses will also be burned to prevent infection.At that time, the factory owner can appeal for a second quarantine, but it is not allowed to stop the culling and burning.

It is very cruel to do so, but Xia Anran must ensure the safety of Zhongshan's national poultry.

Group breeding is at the expense of almost all the growth processes of the chicken itself that can produce resistance.These chickens have never seen the sun since they were just hatched. The whole chicken life is spent eating and sleeping. The biggest amount of exercise is when the breeder drives them from one grid to another when cleaning the chicken coop, or It's just fighting on weekdays.

The food eaten is monotonous and uniform, and there is no chance to follow the mother chicken to identify medicinal herbs.

Although there will be no loss in terms of nutrients, and the chicken raised in this way will be more tender due to lack of exercise, but the health is undoubtedly not as good as that of free-range chickens.This is not to say that these chickens are sick chickens, but they are basically sub-healthy chickens.

With such a low resistance, they cannot withstand a little storm.

High-density breeding, low resistance, a poorly controlled outbreak of bird flu, all poultry in Zhongshan had to be culled.At that time, the blow to the protein structure of Zhongshan Country will be almost devastating.

In fact, at the beginning, Xia Anran wanted to state-run all the chicken farms, but later found that a completely state-owned enterprise would also lead to a stagnant market, with no vitality at all, and the state-owned operation was steady and steady, and the supply rate was also low. In the end, he had to half The privatization of poultry and egg farming enterprises was opened.

State-owned enterprises put more emphasis on quality, and private enterprises put more weight on them. When the two are superimposed, cheap eggs and chicken are added to the people's food basket.The market for free-range chickens in rural areas has not been squeezed too much by it, because the sharp-tongued Han people have discovered that the chicken produced in factories is not as good as free-range chickens. Although the price of factory chickens is lower, some key dishes still have to be used Free range chicken.

In short, the increase in the number of chickens has saved the embarrassing status of meat dogs to a large extent, and since the little king set an example and took the lead to pay for his cat running around all over the ground, it has become unwritten in Zhongshan that pets get into trouble and their owners are punished law.If you encounter a dog without a collar on the street, street pawns will soon come to your door and fine the owner.

Under such circumstances, if you want to raise a meat dog, you must either keep it in a cage, or raise it outside and educate it, which will undoubtedly increase the investment cost.

Investment costs increase, the market shrinks, and as time goes by, there are fewer and fewer people in this industry.

After finding out that it was because of these factors, the little king felt a little relieved.

But that's all in the past!Now these police dogs have entered the middle age, officially entered the Zhongshan State civil servant establishment and can still receive a salary.

The little king laughed and said, "It turned out to be a Tianzi brand dog, but you are a domesticated person?"

"Returning to Your Highness, these two dogs were the first prize winners in the pacesetter competition last year, but their collar emblems haven't been finished yet, so they are still using the old ones."

"First prize? Not bad!" Xia Anran smiled. Seeing Guan Fu's curious face, he smiled and said to Guan Fu, "How about this dog?"

Guan Fu naturally agreed, "These two dogs have a yellow face and a white face, and they are strong and strong, so they are good dogs. However, judging from their figure, they are slender and strong, so they should not be good at fighting. I wonder what your highness's award criteria are?"

"Are you good at distinguishing dogs?" Xia Anran was a little surprised, Guan Fu said modestly: "I have a fellow from my hometown who likes to raise dogs, so I just listened to it a few times."

Xia Anran nodded, and he said to Guan Fu: "The dogs in Zhongshan are divided into several categories, each has its own strengths, and not all of them are mainly trained in grasping and biting, while Tianzihao is the best at finding objects. It is long. Can tell who a person has seen, and the path traveled.”

"So powerful?" Although Chen Jiao has lived here for a while, she often sees petty officials of Zhongshan Kingdom walking around with dogs, but she always thought that these dogs were just good at biting, so she never cared about them. , and now he is somewhat excited, "Brother, can this dog find anything?"

Xia Anran smiled and nodded.

"Then..." Chen Jiao rubbed her chin, her eyes flashed slyly, but her face was full of willfulness, "Why don't we come and have a try? It just so happens that there is nothing to do today, and there is no ban in the city. Right now It's a good opportunity.

However, those of us often commute to and from the streets, and it is a bit inaccurate to pass almost everywhere... Eh?Is Guan Fu right?How long has it been since you and your servant arrived in Zhongshan?There shouldn't be many places to go. "

"Brother, why don't we let these two dogs find out where Guan Fu has been?"

Guan Fu was shocked when he heard this, but before he could say anything, Xia Anran squinted his eyes and smiled, "A-Jiao, I'll talk about this later. I'm still talking about business." Zhang Tang just stopped writing at this time, and he will After drying the paper for a while, it was presented, and Dou Wan handed over the criminal letter with ink marks to the little king. Xia Anran only took a cursory look at it, and was immediately delighted.

Zhang Tang's ability to become a courtier with the longest "honeymoon period" in the history of Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty in the future has a lot to do with his intelligence.

He has an excellent memory, he is familiar with the law, and he is also very good at catching words and reading the leader's face, so his political opponents at the time commented that he was "fraudulent", referring to the fact that the benchmark of this person's behavior is actually the leader's preferences.If the leader hates this person, he will use the law to send him in. If the leader likes this person, he can use the law to release him.

In other words, the law in his hands is not a sacred scale, but a tool, a tool to achieve his goals, and a tool for him to please the leader.

But now, as the person being flattered, Xia Anran only felt comfortable reading this crime letter.

Just now Guan Fu said that he would pay a hundred gold, but that was completely in a state of throwing money away.Although he pleaded guilty, he was extremely condescending, and the attitude that Dayouye could settle with money was nothing, which made the little king who hated the rich very unhappy.And according to the crime letter written by Zhang Tang...

Xia Anran's face remained unchanged, and she handed the crime letter to Guan Fu.Guan Fu didn't care about this at first, he seemed to be respectful, but in fact he felt that this was just a formality, and he would pay after the seal was printed. However, when he saw the number on it, he was shocked.

Zhang Tang eloquently listed his crimes and those of his servants, and finally concluded that the figure was as high as [-] copper coins.

Among them, the biggest crime is - his servant said "Nai Gong" to the little king.

Naigong is just a catchphrase, ahem, probably meaning the same as your grandfather or me, but the problem is, if you translate it colloquially, oh, call yourself his grandson to His Highness King Zhongshan... What do you want to do?

The laws in the early Han Dynasty were loose, but no matter how loose they are, this cannot be tolerated.

It is a crime of disrespect for the king of a country to speak evil words, and the words involve the current majesty and the former emperor.

The crime of gross disrespect can already be listed as the first few important crimes within the scope of the criminal law.Guan Fu looked at the three characters on it, his knees softened and he knelt down on the spot.

He wanted to justify that the servant did not tell Zhongshan King, but after thinking about it, he immediately realized that if he made such an excuse, it would undoubtedly prove that he had been listening in just now.Originally, he could still say a word of ignorance, but if he knows more than that, it means that his posture is connivance.

It is an even greater crime to connive servants to insult King Zhongshan.

In fact, the [-] guan is mainly the number of servants' atonement, and Guan Fu could not atone for his subordinates and let them be punished.But Guan Fu gritted his teeth, "Your Highness, I don't have that much money right now, please allow me to send someone back to my hometown to get the money."

This is to accept the punishment, and this action made everyone present look sideways.

According to the current exchange method, [-] qian is roughly equal to [-] gold, so [-] guan is almost equal to [-] gold.Of course, considering that this algorithm was still used by Emperor Wen several years ago, it should not be that high now, but it is not much lower.

A prime minister is willing to pay four thousand gold to atone for his servants. No matter where he says it, it is enough to move his subordinates to tears, and it is also enough to make others feel that he is very responsible.

But Xia Anran smiled slightly, "Since that's the case, I have to wrong you first." After finishing speaking, he waved his hand to signal the little official to ask him to leave and put him in the cell first.

After all the people left, Xia Anran glanced at the criminal letter written by Zhang Tang, read every word carefully for a while, and sighed regretfully.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Chen Jiao keenly noticed that her elder brother didn't seem very happy about being able to slay people, so she was a little puzzled, "You don't look happy? Zhongshan Kingdom can accept four thousand gold."

"Not happy, and we can't accept it." Xia Anran put the crime book on the table, and turned his eyes to look at Zhang Tang who was standing beside him. He was slightly lost, not sure if this person did it on purpose. Still unintentional.

After observing for a long time, he found that this man's mental quality was really strong, and his expression remained unchanged.At this time, seeing that Chen Jiao was still asking questions repeatedly, he sighed and said, "If he is judged disrespectful this time, then in the future, more than half of the people in Zhongshan Kingdom who dare to speak up will be less than half, and those who dare to speak up to you and me who are the same age If anyone speaks, there will be no one."

"And when the news spreads, there will be far fewer people in the whole country who dare to speak up. Therefore, this precedent cannot be set."

Xia Anran brought up the pen that Zhang Tang had left, and asked him for a piece of paper, and wrote down the pen.

"But, but..." Chen Jiao frowned. She could understand what her brother meant, but she also felt that this was somewhat unfounded, and there was something so mysterious about it.

The little king quickly finished writing these words, and when he looked up, he saw the little girl's wrinkled face, so he stood up with a smile, and patted his sister's little head, "A-Jiao, even if there is only one possibility, it's okay Avoid it. Because it’s one point for us, one hundred points at the bottom, and one thousand points at the bottom. The higher you stand, the more you have to pay attention to the impact of every action.”

"Why?" The little girl's eyes widened, completely unable to understand Xia Anran's actions.In her opinion, elder brother is the lord of a country, there are very few people in the world who can control him, and there are not many people who need his attention.This is just a trivial matter, if my elder brother changes his order day and night, where is his prestige?

What's more, she couldn't understand what her brother meant when the problem went down and became more serious.

Does anyone still dare to misinterpret their words without authorization?

"Jiaojiao, there is a folk saying for officialdom, it's called "one size fits all". "

"What's that?" Chen Jiao's eyes widened.

Not only her, but everyone present turned their attention to the little king.Xia Anran dried the paper he had just written on and pressed it under the inkstone, then stood beside him and said, "Do you know why brother asked the people why they didn't open a dog meat shop?"

Chen Jiao had also heard about this matter. At that time, she felt that her brother asked casually, and she was not very familiar with this cousin at that time, so naturally she didn't want to ask too much. Now that Xia Anran suddenly mentioned it, Chen Jiao immediately raised her eyebrows. Think carefully.

She is very smart, and after connecting with the upper and lower discourses, she finally realized, "Brother, you are afraid that the people below will think that you like keeping dogs and don't like eating dogs, so you force the people to close the butcher shop?"

"Yes."

Xia Anran put on the shoes, with a slight smile on his face, he stood still, turned around and looked at his sister and said: "Because I don't know whether I like dogs or not, what is my concept of dog meat, I'd rather not let it go, Close all the dog meat shops under the rule, so as to avoid the possibility of offending me. As for how the owners of the dog meat shops feel and how to make a living, they don’t care.”

"What I'm afraid of is that such a person appears in Zhongshan Kingdom."

"But fortunately, there are no such bureaucrats in Zhongshan Kingdom, but the absence of them now does not mean that they will not appear in the future. Such a person's political performance will be very good, because there are very few mistakes and omissions in his governance, so it is impossible to guard against."

"Jiaojiao, I don't like such people, and I don't want such people to appear in Zhongshan Country. But Zhongshan Country is too big, I can't avoid this, so I can only pay more attention to many things."

Chen Jiao raised her eyebrows and lowered her head. She seemed to realize for the first time at this moment that she...was different from her brother, not because of gender, but because there were more inexplicable things...

The little girl hesitated for a moment, then suddenly asked: "Brother, will you say the same to Che'er?"

"Ok?"

"Brother, will you tell Cheer about these things?"

Xia Anran was a little surprised, he tilted his head to think for a while, then looked to Dou Wan for his opinion, "I don't seem to have said this?"

Dou Wan nodded, so the little king said to Chen Jiao with certainty: "I haven't told Che'er about this, what's the matter?"

"Then why did brother tell me?" The little girl raised her face and looked at the little king's eyes with an unknown light.

Xia Anran felt a little baffled, and he confirmed again - he really, couldn't understand what the girl was thinking at all!

How can there be so many reasons? I didn't tell Liu Xiaozhu because they hadn't encountered this problem before, and I told Chen Jiao because they happened to encounter it.Why does the little girl care about a reason for so many things?

Luckily he's not straight anymore =v=

Xia Anran was about to say this, when she suddenly realized that Chen Jiao's expression was a little different, there was confusion and temptation in that expression, but it was more of a prayer.

beg?

Xia Anran suddenly realized that the answer she wanted to hear at this time must be very important to her.

After deliberating for a moment, he said: "Jiaojiao, in my heart, you and Che'er are the same. When Che'er was in Zhongshan Kingdom, she had been learning how to become a vassal king. I was also a novice at the time, so when something happened After that, we discussed and discussed more.”

"And you are Lord Weng, and Lord Weng doesn't need to manage the fief, so I really don't treat you as well as Che'er, that, but you are all my relatives..."

Xia Anran spoke softer and softer, because Chen Jiao's tears were already falling, and she choked up and said, "So, brother didn't take me to study, not because I'm a woman, but because I don't have a fief." Need management?"

"...Actually, it also has something to do with you being a woman, because men and women are different." Xia Anran said straightforwardly, "You and I are similar in age, if one is not good, then what, I already have someone I like... Cough."

The way Chen Jiao looked at her brother was different. She puckered her mouth, but she couldn't hold it back after all, and burst into tears.

Her crying made the three big men in the room helpless.Xia Anran immediately looked at Zhang Tang, beckoning him to coax him, Zhang Tang stared wide-eyed: How can I coax him?It was okay to pretend to be stupid before, but now you have all revealed your gender!

useless!Xia Anran looked at Dou Wan again, and then he immediately turned his eyes away, this, his boyfriend should forget about it.Just when he plucked up the courage to try to persuade him, Dou Wan stopped him, and said softly: "There is a sister in Wan, I can't persuade you at this time, if you do, you will cry longer."

oh oh oh!

Is that so?The other two men all showed stunned expressions.Dou Wan nodded to affirm his statement, and the three of them stepped back a little, giving the quiet space to Miss Chen Jiao.

This wave of operations can be said to be very straight.

But it's not good to watch people cry, Xia Anran looked around the room, picked up the kettle, poured a glass of water for the girl and handed it over.Chen Jiao just lost control of her emotions for a while, if not, she would never tolerate crying in front of outsiders with her strong personality.

After receiving the cup handed by her brother, she immediately became choked up, and after covering her face for a while, when she raised her face, her eyes were only slightly red.

The woman...is really amazing!The speed of this face-changing is really...

Chen Jiao took a deep breath, and even the tone of her voice became more stable when she spoke, "Jiao knows, it was Jiao who wanted to go wrong before, then brother, if Jiao wants to learn, can you teach me?"

Xia Anran endured it, and finally swallowed the "what on earth are you thinking" that she really wanted to know.After Chen Jiao cried like this, he naturally didn't dare to ask any more questions, for fear of detonating Chen Jiao's mood again.

The girl's tears were too terrifying, he couldn't stand it anymore, he nodded in agreement with his younger sister's eagerness to learn, and immediately saw the little girl smile after the rain.

... girl

Chen Jiao recovered very quickly, she pretended not to see the uneasiness in the other three people's eyes, but leaned over to see what her brother had just written.

The characters pressed under the inkstone are clean and beautiful, and the characters are strong and strong, making them extremely comfortable to look at.Chen Jiao took it out and said: "Those who don't know are not guilty... Is this brother's pardon for them?"

"Yeah." Seeing that Chen Jiao turned to talk about business, Xia Anran relaxed a lot. He glanced at the piece of paper he had just written and added, "At that time, I will tell Wei Ting that this is only for this time. Incident, don’t use it for other purposes.”

There was a flicker in his eyes, and the corners of his lips raised slightly, "In case someone comes to tell me that he who did something illegal is not guilty if he doesn't know it."

Chen Jiao had a complicated expression, her lips opened and closed, and she spit out after a while, "Brother, you have to think too much..."

Xia Anran gathered the outer robe that Dou Wan had put on, and immediately turned her head and sighed softly when she heard the words.

Of course he didn't want to be like this, but now he is no longer what he used to be.Because he has a lover, and with concern, it is naturally different.

What's more, his lover is still a man. If you want two people to be together with Meimei, you have to be careful!

After approving the clothes, the little king said goodbye to his sister, and told him, "Remember to go home before the third watch. I will send someone to wait at the gate of your house."

Chen Jiao's eyes widened, her face full of disbelief, and her ruthless cousin waved his hands, leaving her with a back view of leaving in a hurry.

At this moment, there were many fewer people on the street, Xia Anran put on her robe and sighed, then raised her face to look at Dou Wan and said: "Ah Wan, remember to remind me when you go back, you have to write to Che'er about this matter. "

"His Royal Highness?"

The little king was helpless, "If I told Jiaojiao but didn't tell Che'er... I think he would make trouble with me."

Dou Wan fell silent.

The little king felt a little sad and angry, "Why do I always have a feeling of jealousy between wives and concubines?"

Dou Wan suddenly stopped.Seeing him suddenly falling behind, Xia Anran was taken aback for a moment, and then stopped, and saw the young man standing with his back facing a bright moon, the expression on his face was invisible, only his eyes were amazingly bright, "If His Highness appears next to him in the future, I found someone to accompany His Highness day and night when Wan was away, watching His Highness’s joys, sorrows, and joys, and sharing food with His Highness..."

"Wan... wants to make trouble too."

Xia Anran:? ! !
