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

Liu Zhi was even more excited when he saw the duckling chasing and jumping up. He smiled sharply and wanted to climb on his brother.

Xia Anran hastily held down Xiaodouding's kicking feet, preventing a tragedy at the scene of the duck's death.He took off a few ducklings and put them on the side, then put his younger brother upright: "Hey, are you going to dig out the duck nest?"

"I saw that the mother duck was not there, so I wanted to see the duckling, but the duckling followed me!" Liu Zhi waved his chubby paws, and then pointed to the ducklings on the ground, "Brother, they followed me!" , do you like me?"

Xia Anran hesitated between explaining to the children that it was a fledgling plot, the cruel fact that even if they saw a dog at first sight, they would run after him, and the childlike innocence of protecting his younger brother, then he said without hesitation : "Yes, pigs are the cutest! They really like pigs!"

"Then can you invite them to stay as guests?" Xiao Douding looked around, then blinked his black eyes with a smile and said, "You still want to invite them to eat meat!"

"The little ducklings are still babies, they can't eat meat yet." During the conversation, Xia Anran saw that the three little ducklings had already started to tremble, and the mother duck hesitated to circle around a few times without being afraid of people. After that, she still came up, puffed up her chest, and covered the duckling with her warm belly feathers.

Xia Anran pointed to the duckling: "Pig, the duckling is afraid of the cold, you have to build him a small house first."

"Build a house?" Liu Zhi tilted his head, pointing to the drawings on Xia Anran's desk, "Do you want to draw pictures, too?"

Xia Anran, who was laying underground water pipes for the future house, laughed. He pushed the blueprint into the table and said, "No, ducklings like to live in small houses piled up with rice stalks and rags."

"But," Liu Zhi looked at the little duckling, and then at Xia Anran's painting, pouted, "The little duckling is his guest, and he wants to give them the best."

Xia Anran suddenly thought of this style of "love wants to live, evil wants to die" and the extreme willful behavior of "love the house and black", suddenly felt his heart tense, and he suddenly felt the heavy responsibility of educating children It's on my shoulders.

Xia Anran, who had no experience in raising babies, thought about it, and asked patiently and cautiously, "Then how do you want to build a house for the duckling?"

Xiao Douding obviously didn't think that deeply. He tilted his head and thought for a long time, then hesitantly said: "Build, build a big palace, and then, dig a big pond! Raise a lot of small fish for the ducklings to eat."

"But the duckling is just a duckling. If it lives in the little house that the pig made for it, what will the other ducklings think?" Xia Anran tried to explain to him the issue of being uncoordinated in terms that children can understand. , "Other ducklings will definitely think, why can the three of them live in a big house and I can't?"

Liu Zhi tilted his head to look at Xia Anran in some doubts, and he smacked his mouth: "Because they are not my friend ducks."

Xia Anran: ...! ! !

Xia Anran, who was defeated by Tong Yan Tong Yu, was angry for the second time. He looked at the ducklings in a blink of an eye, and his bad intentions appeared: "The ducklings are Xi'er's guests, and the little house will be built for a few days, and it hasn't been built yet." Before it’s all right, the duckling should sleep with the pig first, okay?"

"No problem!" Little Douding, who didn't know the dangers in the world, patted his chest and said, "I will take good care of the little duck~"

Xia Anran watched Liu Xiaozhu, one big, three small and four ducks jumping out in a uniform posture called "spreading ducks and running", and couldn't help but put on a kind smile, but his actions could not be compared with kindness. Not above, he asked someone to find the Zhongshan National Guards who accompanied the little prince out today.

Then he ordered like this.

The next day, Xia Anran had just sent off a business leader from the south when he saw his younger brother being brought in with his mouth pouting.After confirming that Xia Anran was not working, Liu Xiaozhu said aggrievedly: "Brother, I don't want to entertain ducklings anymore!"

"Why?" Xia Anran tilted her head and glanced at the ducks sitting cross-legged beside Liu Zhi, and was surprised that they didn't lack arms or legs, and then he waited for his younger brother's answer: "They don't have any Not paying attention to hygiene, littering everywhere!"

"Pfft!" Xia Anran calmed down her expression before her younger brother looked over.

Apparently, Liu Zhi, who lived in a certain aspect in the court, was quite innocent, and didn't realize that his brother was laughing at him just now, especially after Xia Anran immediately put his expression on his face after he raised his head.

Xiao Douding pinched his fingers, and continued with a distressed expression: "After going back yesterday, I fed the ducklings some rice, and then they obviously enjoyed eating, but after the meal, I was in the middle of the night." poop on the bed!"

Xiaozheng was so wronged that he justly accused this group of "ungrateful" ducklings: "Why are they so bad!!"

The little king glanced sharply at the servants and female officers who were watching, stopped their sniggering, and then told his younger brother sincerely: "The little duck just broke its shell yesterday, and you don't understand anything. The pig is a big brother. Educate them well."

Liu Xiaozhu, who has always been the youngest child and has only been educated, immediately felt full of a sense of mission.

The sense of mission belongs to the sense of mission, but Liu Xiaoshe was so clever that he could let the ducklings go home to live first, and then he would go to the ducklings as a guest and educate the ducklings, wouldn't it be good?

Just like my brother's Taifu also came to teach my brother.

But the future Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty obviously didn't realize how bad the adults were, because just after he was so excited that he wanted to take the duckling home, he faced the fact that the duckling's nest was emptied.

Little, the duckling's home is gone!The souvenir Liu Zhi brought fell on the ground, and he was stunned.

It is said that because he took the ducklings away, no one protected their homes, so a group of bullies came and robbed their homes.But because there are too many suspects, even if Liu Zhi wants to help his little friend get justice, he can't find the duck who should be responsible.

In the end, he could only bring the four ducklings back to his bedroom full of guilt.

For three consecutive days after that, Liu She was reasoning with the ducklings.Until the fourth day, when we were eating together, Liu Zhi finally couldn't help asking a very profound question-"Brother, how long did it take me not to poop indiscriminately?"

When talking about such a strong taste during the meal, Xia Anran was not turned off at all, he replied rather casually: "About two years old..."

After hearing Xiao Zhengtai's obvious gasping sound, the irresponsible and bad brother looked over with some doubts. He mistakenly thought that Xiao Zhengtai couldn't accept that he could not take care of himself until he was two years old, so he hurriedly added: "He's already It’s amazing, I’ve heard that it’s usually...cough, four-year-olds need help.”

Liu Zhi became even more sad. He endured it, and finally put down the bowl, lowered his head and said dejectedly: "Brother, is that duckling stupid or smart? I haven't been able to teach it yet. They don't poop anywhere!"

If the little prince raised his head at this time, he would be able to see his brother laughing until Tang threw his hands in a panic, but unfortunately he lowered his head at this time so he missed the opportunity to see his brother's face.Liu Xiaozhu sighed like an adult: "What if it takes them four years to learn not to poop!"

The children are so worried that their eyebrows will turn into knotted caterpillars!

Unscrupulous adults are very good at basing their happiness on the pain of children. Xia Anran carefully wiped off the soup on his hands, and then kindly picked up a small bean that was being fed rice by duplicity Xiaodouding. duckling.

The newborn ducklings are very afraid of the cold, and the weather is still too cold for the cubs. The three ducklings originally huddled under the belly of the mother duck to eat, but now they started shaking after being taken out for a while. An Ran hastily clasped the duck with both hands.

Presumably it was because Liu Xiaozhu didn't hug them less, the ducklings didn't panic when Xia Anran held them in his hands, instead they raised their heads and looked sideways at him with peasy eyes.

The eyes of birds are on both sides of the cheeks, and the front is actually a blind spot, so only when you look at people from the side can you really "see you in the eyes".

This point was corrected by Xia Anran when the younger brother wanted to teach the duckling to look at people with a straight face.Now Liu Xiaozhu will specifically explain this point to those who enjoy the treatment of ducklings, lest others will misunderstand, let alone how serious and responsible that little appearance is.

Xia Anran poked the round and upturned duck's ass, and then pushed it back under the mother duck's stomach before the duckling pooped. He gave his younger brother a very reliable suggestion: "Before it learns not to mess Before we poop, let's make diapers for the ducklings."

Then he took Liu Xiaozhu to visit the weaving workshop in Zhongshan Country, and spent an afternoon with his younger brother to weave enough cloth to make diapers for four ducks.

The two brothers studied with Zhiniang together, and Liu Zhi would definitely not be able to sit on the loom, so he just watched Xia Anran weaving.

He is a fast learner, and he can also direct Xia Anran to push this one and step on that one. The effect of a novice is naturally not very good, but fortunately, Liu Zhi doesn't dislike it.

The children don't have that kind of class consciousness yet, and they don't wonder why the elder brother didn't let the Weaver Girls weave directly, but Xia Anran avoided some excuses he had prepared in his heart.After thinking about it, Xia Anran understood that the Han court advocated frugality, and basically every concubine would weave some cloth to save money when she was free. Presumably, it was Liu Zhi who saw Wang Meiren do it, so he didn't feel that his brother was the lord of a country. It is strange to have to weave cloth by yourself.

But when he found out that this small piece of fabric, which he worked hard all afternoon, supported the three little ducks for a day of peace, he was very depressed.

He eagerly wanted to find Xia Anran, but he saw that his brother was busy seeing guests, but the duckling's diapers were all dirty, and they were still wet after washing, and now the duckling was urinating indiscriminately, making the floor dirty ,This is how to do?

Liu Zhi hesitated for a moment, waved his little hand, and asked someone to take him to the cloth workshop.

The ladies in the fabric shop were using a different machine than last time, and when they saw King Jiaodong coming over to say hello, they heard Xiao Douding asking if they could make another piece of fabric for him?

As the cloth shop served the royal court, it should naturally serve the royal family unconditionally, but these ladies had all been ordered by the King of Zhongshan before, and they all showed embarrassment in the face of Xiao Douding's request.

They showed Liu She a look at the things on their phone, and the pattern was so beautiful that Liu She's eyes widened immediately.But the ladies told him that this is the king of Zhongshan who wants to use it to make money, and they are in a rush for the construction period, and everyone is not free now.

Xiao Douding immediately wrinkled his face. He looked left and right, and happened to see a slightly smaller machine, and his big eyes lit up: "Can I use that?"

This machine is a small model machine used in the previous experiment to make Kesi. Craftsmen have made many similar small machines, and they are all idle now.It is not a big problem to use it for weaving, but everyone is not free now.

Xiao Douding immediately puffed up his chest and said that I also learned when my brother was studying yesterday!All you have to do is wrap a thread for me.It won't take up too much of your time.

such……

The ladies looked embarrassed, and when Liu Xiaozhu saw this, he immediately said that he was a big boy and could be responsible for his actions.

The ducklings around Liu Xiaozhu chirped at the right time to cheer the boss up.

"So..." Although he said so, no one dared to put a child and a loom together.A woman suddenly thought of something, she called a young girl and gave some instructions, this woman is the Aru who works here.

A Ru went away in response, and when she came back, she also took a little boy by the hand.

The little boy's eyes lit up when he saw Liu Zhi, but his eyes lighted up when he saw the brocade all over his body. He pursed his lips and smiled a little shyly, but he didn't approach him.

The girl didn't notice this change, she took a few strips of cloth in her hands to enclose a small space in the room, and then said to Liu Zhi, "Your Highness, can I let my younger brother practice martial arts here?"

Liu Zhi thought about it seriously, and then nodded his little head, but he left an endorsement: "You must not disturb this king."

The kid shivered in fright from his tough attitude, and should be timid.

A Ru was a little worried about his younger brother, but this was the order of King Zhongshan earlier, and it also meant that he wanted to find a little playmate for Liu She.

What's more, as far as she is concerned, it will be beneficial for him to have a good relationship with King Jiaodong in the future, but she is also a little afraid of the possible risks behind the huge benefits once she deals with the nobles, and she has mixed feelings in her heart .

In the end she didn't say anything, just let it be.

If there is a destiny, it is also the brother's blessing, and the elder sister doesn't expect anything, as long as the younger brother is safe and sound.

While Liu Zhi was busy weaving with the ducklings, Xia Anran was discussing the issue of "lacquer" with the merchants in the south.

In the third month of the lunar calendar, it is the first time to harvest raw lacquer this year, and lacquer merchants from all over the world are gearing up to start harvesting lacquer.However, the lacquer merchants in Zhongshan and its radiating range encountered a big problem.

The flowering period of lacquer trees is also at this time. Now many lacquer trees are in bud. The flowers of lacquer trees are very hidden, mostly hidden under the leaves. Its flower shape looks a bit like wisteria flowers from the bottom, in a pendant shape.

The lacquer tree is very high from the ground, and its flowers have no smell. Usually, lacquer farmers only know that the lacquer tree is blooming when they see bees flying above it.

By the way, sumac itself is also an excellent nectar source plant, and its honey does not cause people to be allergic, so it is an important member of spring nectar.

This has nothing to do with paint farmers, but this year is different.

Throughout the winter of last year, this small area of ​​the North China Plain was immersed in the process of collecting lacquer fruits and transporting lacquer fruits. People are happy.

The purchase price in Zhongshan Country is not too low. There are real cases of hard-working people buying a few piglets this spring with the income from playing lacquer fruit.

Those are piglets. When they grow up, they will be big and fat pigs, which makes people jealous.

The example of making a fortune is around, and the farmers have heard that Zhongshan will harvest fruit this year. Of course, everyone is concerned about the flowers of the lacquer tree.

Even if these people have not studied agronomy, farmers have their own observations and conclusions about the natural world. The simplest one is: if there is no flowering, there will be no fruit, and any crop will definitely be harmed when it blooms and buds Bear bad fruit.

Therefore, when lacquer merchants collected raw lacquer this year, they encountered unprecedented cold reception.

Originally, the paint merchant thought that he had been intercepted by his peers, but after some inquiring, he found out why, but when his brain became hot, he ran into a big net that Xia Anran had been waiting for for a long time.

For farmers, although they gave up the first wave of lacquer harvesting, they have winter lacquer seeds as a supplementary income, and lacquer trees can be harvested three or four times a year. High, so it is better to wait for the income from Qiguo with stable quality.

Even, in order to make the lacquer trees bloom and bear fruit, the farmers specially cultivated soil and sprinkled fertilizer under the roots of the trees, so that they can get the fertilizer during spring plowing, which shows that they attach great importance to the lacquer trees.

However, for paint merchants, this loss is real.Except for a small number of long-term cooperative paint farmers, most of the villages did not collect paint this year, which greatly reduced their receipt of goods and also paid for the expenses of vehicles and horses.

Such a rough calculation, the loss is not small.

But these losses are not the most important. The important thing is that this means that the paint farmers have a second choice.

They have no doubt that if the purchase price of sumac is further increased, farmers will choose to give up cutting lacquer and supply all the nutrients of sumac to its fruit. After all, harvesting fruit has a natural advantage compared to harvesting lacquer - allergies to sumac in winter The situation will be much better than in spring, summer and autumn, not to mention that many people don't need direct contact at all, they just need to smash the fruit.

The allergenicity of dried sumac is much lower than that of tree trunks and leaves.

This sense of crisis united the lacquer merchants who originally disliked each other. At this time, the first thing they had to confirm was—whether King Zhongshan rose occasionally this time, or for a long time.

Xia Anran didn't need to answer these businessmen's questions.

Frankly speaking, they will definitely be enemies in the future, both in terms of raw materials and end products.

The gradual decline of Chinese lacquerware, and even later generations of lacquerware became the "quintessence" of Japan, because the Chinese chose "porcelain" and placed lacquerware.

In other words, lacquerware was eliminated by ceramics.

The production cycle of lacquerware is long, it is difficult to produce in batches, and there are too many constraints, so that after the rapid development of porcelain in the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was squeezed out of the living space.

When the beauty of porcelain in the Song Dynasty reached its peak and became the main commodity for overseas export, the status of lacquerware was completely invaded.

Since then, the status of lacquerware has gradually declined, becoming a rare and precious handicraft rather than an everyday item.

As we all know, when something is gradually separated from people's life and its status is raised, and it is put into the display cabinet, it means that its market space will shrink significantly.

And this process, because of Xia Anran's existence, is bound to advance.

The advantage of porcelain over lacquerware is that it can be mass-produced on a large scale, and its manufacturing environment is much less restrictive than lacquerware.

Now Zhongshan is building a second long kiln and a steamed bun kiln at the same time.This kiln, Xia Anran, intends to use coal as fuel, with taller and thicker chimneys and refractory bricks.If there is no accident, the temperature of this kiln can be further increased.

The quality of porcelain clay in Zhongshan Kingdom is guaranteed, and the craftsmanship of the craftsmen has also become more and more proficient in repeated explorations. After the "sagger method" and "pile molding method" are gradually mastered, Zhongshan Kingdom can already produce relatively large devices.

A few days ago, a craftsman came up with a whim. After the porcelain was glazed, he used another piece of porcelain clay to carve a side pattern, and then installed it to create a relief effect.

Inspired by this, the craftsmen also tried to use different ratios of glazes to fill in the color without a teacher.Although the fluidity of the glazes used today is very strong, as long as the angle is well controlled for the relief body, it will have little effect.

In the same way, the sunken lines are also conducive to coloring. Although wax dripping products are inevitable, the effect has already amazed the local craftsmen.

Xia Anran silently glanced at the porcelain dog placed on the table and presented as a treasure. From his purely amateurish eyes, the color and shape of this is basically the same as the Tang Sancai displayed in the museum.

Except that Tang Sancai is pottery and he is porcelain. If there is a difference, the craftsmen are still trying to avoid dripping wax and dissolving the color under his request, while Tang Sancai is happy to see the freedom produced by the melting of glaze and color. Casual gesture.

Anyway, almost every time Xia Anran saw the products after the kiln was opened, Xia Anran would have the feeling of witnessing history. He covered his heart and sighed contentedly, feeling a subtle sense of pride as a time traveler.

These merchants didn't know what the little king was looking at them with.The main spokesperson elected by many lacquer merchants was a merchant from Liang Guolai. He spoke respectfully and chose his words extremely carefully.

Liang Guo is the feudal country of his uncle Liu Wu, and it is also a vassal state, and there is a relative relationship to facilitate conversation, which is the main reason why this person was pushed out.

Facing the tentative temptations of merchants, Xia Anran admitted frankly that he has no plans to give up buying lacquer seeds in the short future.

As soon as these words came out, the faces of the people present showed a bit of difficulty, but those who could sit here were all foxes who had been around for a thousand years, Xia Anran naturally wouldn't take their attitude of wanting to talk seriously now.

He is the current Ninth Prince and a vassal king. Frankly speaking, with his status, the number of people who can restrain him can be counted on one hand.And he didn't intend to make a "virtuous corporal" virtuous king persona, so Xia Anran drank a sip of tea to moisten his throat, and said in a rather rude tone before these people spoke: "Why are you here? The king knows it well."

"It just so happens that this king also has a business... I want to talk to you."

He looked at these businessmen who offered to deliver to their door and showed a kind smile.

The amount of lacquer seeds collected by Zhongshan State is not small, but due to the winter traffic, it only radiates about half of Hebei Province, and there must be some omissions.

As far as the current situation is concerned, it is enough, but this kind of harvest will be limited when he wants to make wax products into a career, so Xia Anran negotiated a deal with these people.

What these people care most about is not the loss of spring lacquer, but the loss of lacquer without benefit.

So when Xia Anran proposed that Zhongshan Country could buy Qiguo from them at a higher price than the scattered income, these people immediately started bargaining with him.

Obviously, Xia Anran's proposal is very suitable for them.

Xia Anran also has her own plans to transfer the zero income to suppliers.It seems that he has suffered a disadvantage in terms of price, but it is hard to say who will suffer a disadvantage.

For farmers who are close to Zhongshan Country or those who are officially responsible for distribution and transportation, they will still choose to ship their goods directly to Zhongshan Country to earn a higher purchase price, while those who will sell their seeds to merchants are mostly Remote areas, or the uninformed.

For Xia Anran, these people themselves are not a direct supplier group.On the contrary, although the price charged by these merchants for the goods is high, it can be said to be low compared to his cost of going to the local area to collect materials.

Many farmers nowadays can't believe in traveling merchants. They are more afraid of offending the merchants who come to receive the goods than short-term benefits.Therefore, ordinary merchants will not be able to easily purchase the goods they need without being brought in by acquaintances.

Xia Anran's advantage is that he is an official acquisition, and the title of King of Zhongshan is very useful even if he leaves the Zhongshan Kingdom, and he has united with the local county magistrate who wants to generate income for the people (and collect more taxes by the way). Credibility.

What's more, lacquer merchants have a natural advantage. They know better than anyone else where lacquer is available and where lacquer trees are good.

The most important thing is that the biggest benefit of supplier supply is the stability of the product and the controllability of the quality compared to the sporadic harvest.

Xia Anran is equivalent to "hiring" these paint merchants at a very low price to do the work of screening and pretreatment, and he can save this part of his energy and focus on other aspects.

In the future, these suppliers can be further required to provide tree species with higher oil content or wax content. With his interest chain, these businessmen may urge their downstream suppliers to focus on cultivating economic tree species in the future.

This is the market determines the downstream economic chain.

His status in this world is also high enough, so he doesn't have to worry about the problem of suppliers uniting to lower the price, and the final negotiated price is acceptable to both parties.

After negotiating with these businessmen, Xia Anran invited them to visit the "Commercial Street" in Zhongshan Country.

The accompanying officials came back and said that these merchants had just stepped into the commercial street, and they were refreshed when they saw the retracted ceiling, and then they quickly found the shop set up by the artisans in Gaoyang as Xia Anran expected. All the spot goods in the store were emptied on the spot, and many orders were placed.

The staff of this office are all from Gaoyang County. These craftsmen sent the raw material reed curtains from Gaoyang County, and then completed the assembly with wax paper in Zhongshan, and took advantage of Zhongshan's geographical location to sell it to the north and south.

When Xia Anran issued the invitation, the magistrate of Gaoyang County was frankly hesitant about it.

But the county magistrate, who is a native of Gaoyang, was very optimistic about this. He visited several households, persuaded the elders, and held several mobilization meetings before inviting them out.

Why is it so difficult... In fact, it is because what lies ahead of them is not only the need to leave their homeland, but also a more important issue, that is, changing their identity from farmers to businessmen.

Here I have to mention how pitiful the commercial system of the Han Dynasty was.

In this era, as long as your goods are sold, even if you catch a fish from a pond and sell it to someone who happens to see it, you have to pay business tax.

The reason is simple, where did the mountains, waters and ponds come from?It's all state property.If you use state property for personal welfare, it’s fine if you don’t ask you to charge a fine. Do you still want to evade taxes?

That's all.However, the surplus products from their own farms are sold to the villagers, and they have to pay commercial taxes.

Craftsmen also need to pay commercial tax when they sell goods, and do processing for others... In short, basically, the exchange of goods includes commercial tax, and there is no concept of small tax exemption.

Of course, this is in theory, but the actual operation is based on reality. Reasonable tax avoidance is instinctive.

However, there is one kind of person who cannot avoid taxes.

The author has something to say:

I haven't forgotten Duoduo... Duoduo is not a duck.

Liu Xiaozhu is so cute! !I want to pinch water to soak my face!Want to pinch fat ass, want to pull braids (Hey!)

Liu Xiaozhu is definitely the standard model of these two sentences.

In fact, in his dynasty, there were really many generals besides his relatives, and these people would benefit his descendants later. Then some people said that if Liu Zhi used these talents at that time, his conquest career in the second half should be It doesn't end like this.

Whispering: If he had been winning wars, the consumption of the people would not be so great. In fact, the early prisoners of war greatly offset the domestic civil service, and many projects were done by them.

But I want to mention here that the loss of many soldiers in the Han Dynasty... is actually related to the fact that the generals did not cherish the soldiers so much.

Including Wei Qinghuo Qubing, they treated soldiers as consumables.

But this has something to do with the military service system of the Han Dynasty.

At the age of 23, he began to serve in the military, one of which is the central guard.One is to be a soldier at the border, and there is also local military service. Every citizen will have these three.

Central guards receive the best treatment. They need to serve for one year, and they will be reimbursed by the central government for round-trip travel expenses. During work, food, accommodation and clothes are included (not including daughter-in-law). When they retire, the emperor prepares banquets for entertainment.

The treatment on the border is very poor, and the travel expenses are paid by themselves, but the service period is three days.

You read that right, three days.

How did this problem come about... In fact, it is a problem left over from history, and the pot has to be given to Qin Shihuang.

The predecessor of the dynasty was the kingdom, and a kingdom was only as big as a province, and no matter how big it was, it would be two provinces. If the province was used as the unit, it would take three or four days at most to travel from home to the border. After all, it was a strong labor force.

Including the three days of guarding the border, it only takes ten days to go back and forth, which anyone can afford.

But after becoming a dynasty, he walked away for five or six months at his own expense, and after walking for 5 months and serving for 3 days, he had to come back again. Who could bear it?

This is actually because the Qin Dynasty did not notice this...

By the way, Chen Sheng and Wu Guang's uprising was in the process of serving this military service.

(Whispering BB: If it were me, I would...cough)

But when the Han Dynasty improved, if you don’t want to guard the border, you can pay 100 yuan a day and 300 yuan in three days to the government, and the government will find someone to replace you.The money will be given to the other party.

也就是说如果一个地方有1000个人不愿意戍边，就有1000*3天的空闲，有一笔300*1000的巨款当做赏金，然后政府就会找愿意拿这笔钱的人来顶这3000天。

Of course, because 3000 days is too much, maybe 5 people will be found to top it, and each person will get 60000 yuan, and they need to serve for one and a half years.

Is it very humane?

Local military service is also relatively simple. The strong men in each locality must be pulled up for review and training, one month a year, and carefully trained according to local needs.

For example, those who rely on the sea will train in the navy, and of course they must also receive basic education.

Once a war starts at a critical moment, all three types of soldiers can be mobilized.

In addition, everyone has the obligation to work for the local construction, that is, slavery. In the Han Dynasty, it was one month a year.

——So you see, for the generals at the border, I didn’t even see the faces of the soldiers who came to guard the border before they left... It’s like a black question mark face.

People don't know nature and can't talk about cherishing it.

But there are also accidents, for example, they mainly bring their own family members to the battlefield, which are usually from families of military generals, and they have their own team, such as Li Guang.

But I think, we can’t look at history books from the perspective of future generations. For example, when we look at Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, we feel that he is nepotism (hey, didn’t you say it yourself?) Then there is really no way for them.It is not easy for the emperor to find a reliable subordinate, so he naturally believed in such words as "near Zhuzhechi", "like attracts like" and "family origin"!

Speaking of which, it seems that the only relatives he has succeeded in using are the Wei family, and the so-and-so and so-and-so in the back are simply... (pointing and pointing)

JAPAN is also called lacquer, you know what?Although I was a little bit unwilling when I knew it at the time, but thinking about it later... Uh, this is an inevitable development duck.

The manufacturing process of lacquerware is to paint hundreds of layers on the wood continuously, and then carve it with a carving knife after it dries.It takes at least three or four days for this layer of paint to dry completely, so the production time of a product can be imagined.

Of course, the lacquerware used by the folk is definitely not as luxurious as the royal family, but for anti-corrosion, four or five layers are still required.Therefore, the price of a piece of lacquerware will definitely not be cheap.

Lacquer ware replaced bronze ware, while porcelain (OR pottery) replaced lacquer ware, pushing them from everyday objects to ornamental objects.

From the earliest unearthed Qin and Han lacquerware, which were daily necessities such as bowls and basins, to the Ming and Qing Dynasties, most of them were ornamental ornaments (of course there were also cups and bowls, but most of them were complete sets of ornamental value rather than practical value), and the production process became more and more advanced. The more complex you can see.

The decline of lacquerware came after the Song Dynasty. In the Song Dynasty, it once shared the world with ceramics, but it was really inferior to porcelain.After all, Song Dynasty porcelain has entered a new peak.Not to mention after the Ming and Qing Dynasties... Even the planting of lacquer trees became less and less.

But it's different in Japan.Because Japan's environment is very suitable for the growth of lacquer trees, and there are few porcelain mines in Japan, it is also difficult for them to make porcelain.

It’s like China doesn’t use lacquer wax, and it’s like China doesn’t drink matcha. How can I say this... When I read some comments, I said that China discards its dross and discards its essence. This is very wrong.

Let’s not talk about how matcha was played in the Song Dynasty before it was improved, and it was too lazy to play at the end, and let’s not say that at the peak of “Matcha”, the literati in the Song Dynasty had various other ways to play besides matcha, but The reason why these were finally replaced by stir-fried green tea is of course that the ancestors thought that stir-fried tea tasted better!

How many people who say this have actually drank raw matcha instead of buying it?I consider myself a matcha lover, but that... ummm. == Not good to drink.

It can only be said to be the natural (cruel) elimination of history.Just like the official script eliminated the small seal script, the small seal script eliminated the big seal script, and then the oracle bone inscriptions were eliminated.

Nowadays, some people are doing the revival of lacquerware. They want to compete with Japan to regain the title of "the best lacquerware in the world". Therefore, they are also studying ancient techniques and trying to promote them.

The author is a layman and can only watch the excitement, but I think everyone who fights for their dreams is very special!Hit CALL.
