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

In the ninth year of Yiren, King Qin, news of the abundant summer grain harvest in Shu County reached Xianyang in July.

Since the completion of Dujiangyan, Shu County has shown the excellence of its geographical location to the people of Qin after no floods. The moist and warm Chengdu can even harvest three times a year, and the rice it grows is already abundant. The output can make the prefects of other states and counties jealous.

But this year the situation is a little different. The state of Qin dug mountains and built passes at the most precipitous place along the Jinniu Road.To carry out this kind of big project, it is natural to mobilize the civil service of Shu County, and the service of adult men will naturally affect the cultivation of fields, so when Wei Liao was sent to Shu County, Yiren sent a document to Li Bing, the governor of Shu County at the same time , indicating that this year's food mission in Shu County can be discounted by [-]%.

Although it seems that the gap is only three points, the grain in Shu County is cooked three times a year, and the number is actually quite large.

However, Li Bing was very upbeat. Although he didn't say anything when he received the documents, the tax and grain shipped to Chencang was not less than a stone.

The stranger wrote a good rating for Li Bing this year, and then he held his chin and thought for a moment, and called his son over, "Did your brother come up with anything new in Dongjun before?"

Zhao Zheng recalled it, and the expression on his face was a little complicated.Seeing his strange expression, he knew what was going on. He slapped the table and said to the serving Zhongchang: "Send someone to Dongjun and bring back a copy of everything Jingxi made recently. .If anyone doesn’t understand how to use it, let him write an instruction manual!”

After the people went out, King Qin touched his chin and said to his son: "Did your brother make some farm tools again? I know it! Someone from Shu County farms the land, it must be Li Bing who asked Jingxi for help... Huh , according to the current situation, it is estimated that even if Li Bing does not open his mouth, he will take the initiative to join in."

His Royal Highness the King of Qin smacked his lips. Wei Liao, who was sent to Shu County, and the prefect of Shu County belonged to a relationship of parallel monitoring and restraint, but the construction of the pass required the mobilization of the people of Shu County. Facilitate the development of follow-up work.

But it's not convenient for Wei Liao to come forward, it's normal for the caring Lu Xiaoan to relieve his lover's worries, tsk, lover.

Yiren suddenly had something not so interesting. At this moment, his thoughts overlapped with Lu Buwei's to a certain extent. Anyway, I also watched this kid grow up. When you were young, you still called me uncle. Why didn't you meet him? I have so dedicated?

But it's a bit out of style to be jealous on this, Yiren pointed to his son, "Jingxi often has no idea about this kind of thing, he will forget it when he makes it, you should pay more attention to it in the future."

after?Where did it come from?Of course Zhao Zheng became the queen.

Seeing his son's strange expression suddenly, the stranger reached out and touched his son's head, "Why such an expression? Sooner or later, there will be such a day."

Zhao Zheng lowered his head, and he held his father's hand that he wanted to let go, only to feel that his father's hand was not as smooth as before, and creases had grown on it.His father has aged a lot in the past few years, especially after he returned from Dongjun, but he hasn't seen him for half a year, and his father has gray hair and wrinkles.Thinking of this, he was worried and frightened at the same time, only feeling that something was about to slip away from his fingertips.

"Father, why did you say this all of a sudden..." Zhao Zheng frowned, and he reflexively wanted to break up this unlucky topic, "The autumn colors are just right, why don't we go for a walk in the courtyard?"

"Zheng'er." The stranger patted him, implying, "Next year, you will be 20 years old."

The age of 20 is the day when ordinary men are crowned, and the crowning is the day when the royal family can govern themselves.

Zhao Zheng's pupils shrank, and he suddenly had a bad premonition, but before he could react, he was pulled into his arms by a stranger, and his father patted him on the shoulder lightly, "Don't make such an expression, now I, Qin The country is undergoing unprecedented changes, and my father inherited the will of his ancestors, took over the power of your grandfather, managed and cured this beautiful country, and then handed it over to you, this is his wish."

He hooked the corners of his mouth, "Your father, I am mediocre. Although this situation is inseparable from Lu Xiangbang's assistance, my father also put his heart into it. The result is also good, and my father is very happy. Father is doing more now. Some, you will have less of a last resort and concessions in the future."

"Father..." Zhao Zheng squeezed his hand, his eyes were sore, "Father can take his time, so can son..."

"Time waits for no one, and development is like sailing against the current. If you stagnate in the same place, you will eventually be overwhelmed by the times. Now is the best time, and I will never stop waiting." Yi Renhui held his hand and criticized, "Six Kingdoms It is a lesson from the past. The reason why Qin was able to win against the Six Kingdoms was not because of Qin's reforms, but because the Six Kingdoms could not reform."

"My son, I don't know if my father can see the unification of the seven kingdoms. This day is likely to be realized in your hands. But you have to remember, that day is by no means the end, but a new one. Start. What you have to face is by no means the easiest, but the hardest."

Yiren said it very seriously, and it can be seen that these words have been hidden in his heart for a long time, and now he said them in one go: "Before this world, there was only one ruler of the world, and no one has ever unified all the countries in this land. , what we have to do may be a great event, but it is also difficult. What you want to walk is also a road that no one has ever walked. Footstone."

"Your father is dull and doesn't have any experience to pass on to you in this matter, but..."

"Qin was confined to the west, after more than [-] years, from the exiled clan to the current stage, it is because we are more daring to try and fight hard than others, we are poor, we have to learn, we know If we are few, we need others to teach us. We have few people, so the whole people will work hard together. Today, because the entire Qin clan is united enough, and because we are willing to absorb talents from the six countries, but..."

"In the future, if you want to reassure the hearts of the six countries, you must give the six countries preferential treatment. Then how to adjust the positions of the Qin clan and the six countries, and how to appease the old Qin people... You have to think about this knowledge carefully. "The stranger smiled slightly. He looked at his son's dignified expression and changed his tone. "Lu Xiangbang may have a deep-seated heart, but he, like Xun Qing, advocates Confucianism outside and Law inside. How to use it and whether it can be used is up to you You have to figure it out yourself."

"The leaders of the Li family, the Wang family, and the Meng family are all good, and I think the aptitude of the younger generation is not bad. Besides, Wei Liao usually does not show his talents, but his talent is quite outstanding. Just use him. You should think about Lu An's thoughts more, and you should discuss this matter with him yourself."

"As for your elder brother..." The other person sighed softly, and raised the corners of his mouth again, "Your elder brother..."

He prolonged his voice on purpose, and when he saw his son's tense expression, he immediately teased, "Of course it's available."

"The recommendation method that your elder brother came up with is very effective, and it can be promoted in the future. He also proposed the division of civil and military power. This is a double-edged sword. The widow will not be able to use it. You can handle it yourself. There are also some bits and pieces. ...Anyway, your elder brother will always help you, you can ask him if you are in trouble."

The other man hooked his mouth, he poked his son's face, seeing his son was stunned by his poke, he couldn't help but laughed and said: "What's the matter, your brother can poke, but father can't?"

"No, it's not..." Zhao Xiaozheng endured the humiliation, "Of course my father can..."

Just when the atmosphere was becoming more relaxed, he suddenly heard his father say softly, "You can ask, but you can't ask too much, and you can't ask everything."

Zhao Zheng was taken aback for a moment, and then he heard the stranger slowly say: "The love of the king is the word restraint."

"No bias, no party, kingly way." Yiren slowly closed his eyes, "Let others know his influence on you, treat him badly, the more important the more you love him, the more you don't want to show it .”

Zhao Zheng was stunned, his eyes widened, but he saw his father closing his eyes as if an old god was there.Zhao Zheng thought of his mother who stood like a flagpole in the Qin Palace, and then thought of Lu Xiangbang who was in the phase and occasionally stayed in the palace, and then thought of his father's words and his daily observations. The most important thing was that he thought of After thinking about the things that Lu An had said to him...Zhao Zheng endured it, endured it again, and couldn't hold it back anymore, his mind became hot, "Then father...you treat Lu Xiangbang..."

The stranger was taken aback, but he didn't react for a while.After a while, the usually gentle and refined King Qin, who had suddenly caught his son's train of thought, suddenly became violent and beat up his nonsense son.

Not only did he beat him up, he also ran to his wife to file a complaint, and then slipped his son over so that his mother twisted his ears to vent his anger.

In the next few days, the innocent Lu Xiangbang felt that the king always looked at him a little strangely, and the emotions full of hesitation and hesitation were about to overflow.

Lu Buwei:? ? ? ?

Lu An, who didn't know what kind of tragedy his father was going through, was touching the gift from his lover with a helpless expression on his face.

In fact, he really felt that his senior brother's romantic feelings were a bit crooked. For example, the gift he sent this time was that his senior brother took a piece of ink ingot from Shu County and carved it into a villain, one of whom was eating candy!Hu!reed!villain.

Well, that's right, it's Lu Xiaoan's dark history.

Lu An angrily thought, his brother is very good at engraving, and this villain is so lifelike, he is indeed very cute.But let’s not talk about why he has this image in his senior brother’s heart, just talk about why the senior brother used ink ingots to engrave it. When it comes to the head, it's scary to think about it.

Senior brother's romance, he really doesn't understand, senior brother should carve him a picture of himself, so that he can see things and think about others, what's the matter with giving him himself?It must be criticized!

and also!

Since you want to give him a carved product, it would be great to use a wood carving!It feels so weird to be both practical and impractical!After much deliberation, Lu An was still a little reluctant to use it. He put the little ink carving on the table as a paperweight, stared at the villain for a while, and suddenly went to the warehouse.

As an enclave of the Qin State, Dongjun's geographical location is extremely advantageous in terms of commerce. It is adjacent to the Three Kingdoms, and the shipping and land transportation are very developed.After realizing that Qin's goods were very easy to sell, Lu An asked someone to invite some time-honored brands in Xianyang to supply them, and opened a comprehensive sales center in Dongjun.

Of course, the price of the things bought here must be more expensive than in Xianyang, but what can be guaranteed is that it will be updated at the same time as Xianyang, and because of Lu An's relationship, some of the goods from Shu County will also be allocated to Dong County.

These days, Qin Zhi, Qin Bi, and Qin Bu have all gained fame in Dongjun, but Qin Mo is not yet popular.Qin ink is dark in color, coagulates like black lacquer and does not disperse, etc., but these advantages are not much different from ordinary ink on bamboo slips and copybooks. It can only be said that it looks a little darker, but the price is several times more expensive .

If one thing wants to be popularized to the public, the price is a very important factor. Although Lu An is aware of this and also instructed his subordinates to produce a set of entry-level inks with small weight and low price for people to buy, the market has not yet been opened. .This is mainly because ink must be based on paper, and Qin paper is not cheap now, and it is considered a light luxury product. In addition, the paper and the pen have to be replaced, and the writing method is different from the past, etc. , this has not yet become a fashion in East County.

Since it is slow to advance as a daily necessities, why not try it as an ornamental work of art?

Thanks to his boyfriend, Lu An had an idea. First, he asked someone to engrave the inscription on the ink block.Yinwen is more time-saving than Yangwen, but the blackness is a bit unsightly, so he tried to add gold to it.

The gold letters on the black background of the processed ink ingots are extremely eye-catching, and for some of the larger ones, Lu An even asked someone to write some of today's famous works on them.Can't finish a piece?Then make a whole set and sell it in sets.

A whole set of ink sticks is placed in a box wrapped in red Shu cloth and a brocade box, with gold letters on it to form a whole article, and its style suddenly soars under the light.When the packaged ink sticks were placed on the counter again, they immediately attracted everyone's attention.

With a wave of his hand, Lu An wrote several letters and went to the circle of cultural people he knew to ask for drafts. He was going to ask someone to engrave the original poem into the mold.When the ink ingot is still hot, it is like clay, and it can be printed with patterns, so there is no need to write one by one.

The only requirement is that it must be written in Qin characters.

Since you can't take the civilian route, go high-end!

I'm not a profiteer, Lu An sighed, it's this era that can't understand me!
