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

Now he was choking on the change of Zhi, he didn't think too much, he was obviously misled by this person... That's right!They obviously first talked about whether it was appropriate for the little king to take his younger brother to handle government affairs!The old fox didn't want to entangle him with this issue, so he deliberately led him to think crookedly!

After he figured it out, Zhidu drank the wine in his glass in one gulp. Thinking about it now, it seems that after this scare, this incident itself is nothing, isn't it just the little king doting on his younger brother... What can this be?

Seeing his appearance, Qu Yi calmly took a bite of the grilled food, smashed his mouth, and suddenly said: "His Royal Highness will bring the little prince to Beijing after winter."

Zhi Du was frightened after passing by, only felt exhausted in his heart, he was stunned when he heard his colleague turn to this topic, and couldn't answer the conversation for a while.Qu Yi didn't care either, he took another sip of fine wine and said, "Does Your Highness know how to drink?"

The man fell silent.

Zhidu struggled to speak: "A... is Zhongshan Guocheng."

The implication is: Lao Tzu is just the prime minister of Zhongshan, and he only cares about Zhongshan's internal affairs. How do I know if the little king will drink?This question should be asked to you, right?

Qu Yi sighed, "The prime minister doesn't even know... Then, will His Highness have a banquet?"

"A toast?"

"Court ceremony?"

"Speaking of which, although the Zhongshan Kingdom has been exempted from paying tribute for ten years, the ceremony cannot be forfeited. We must also prepare a gift to thank His Majesty...that gift..."

"Okay." Zhidu waved his hand and interrupted the unfinished words of the Taifu who came to visit suddenly today, and he said with a blank face, "The Taifu has something to say, just say it."

"I'm going to invite you this time, so I won't go." Qu Yi explained, "The period of the court invitation coincides with the period of the talent selection test. If His Highness is not here, I will stay here."

Zhidu suddenly realized that the king of Zhongshan should be accompanied by two thousand stones from Fengguo to invite him to the court.Of course, considering the need to retain people for the operation of the feudal kingdom, although the two thousand stones around the king all have quotas to enter the capital, considering the young king, the Tai Tuo and the lieutenant should accompany him.

The former is responsible for teaching, while the latter is for guarding. However, the situation in Zhongshan is a little different.

Spring is the time for the second selection of talents in Zhongshan.

The reason why this date was set before is because spring has a good meaning, the winter snow has melted, the road is easy to walk, and the students can review it in winter free time; Liu Sheng happened to have time to deal with government affairs.Unexpectedly, the emperor suddenly changed his mind, which led to the embarrassing situation now.

His Highness definitely can't stay here. Although Zhi Du is a capable official and a prime minister, it is somehow inappropriate to put this matter under his name.

Because his reputation among scholars is both good and evil, and this person's image is a bit... Cough, it's better not to scare the newcomers.

As for Qu Yi, it's not that his knowledge is necessarily better than Zhi's, but he is the Taifu of the King of Zhongshan, and this status can weigh the scales. In addition, there is a great scholar Han Ying who can control the situation. It shouldn't be a problem to choose talents on a big mountain.

Zhidu nodded to express his understanding, and then he thought of what Qu Yi said earlier, and his face darkened suddenly. His accompanying entering the capital naturally meant that the little king should be taught the etiquette of entering the court by him.

Qu Yi's eyes swept over his face, and he read his thoughts from his expression, and saw that he suddenly took out a feather fan that he didn't know where he came from from his sleeve, fanned the wind leisurely twice, and said He said: "Prime Minister, don't worry, this is someone's responsibility, but, since His Royal Highness has to practice etiquette and state affairs...the Prime Minister has to worry a lot."

After finishing speaking, Qu Yi, who was full of wine and food, got up to leave, but Tuliu only drank a few glasses of wine, but felt that the corner of his mouth was twitching in place.

This, this person's heart is so black, and he still protects his weaknesses, so he will not be able to be a colleague happily in the future!

The little king was taken away that afternoon to learn the court etiquette of princes. Of course, Liu Zhi also followed suit. At that time, the two thousand stone officials of Jiaodong Kingdom would go westward with Zhongshan Kingdom.Since it was a formal meeting in Beijing, no matter how young Liu Xiaozhu was, he should know the general etiquette and process. At this time, the one who loses his manners is not his own face, but Liu Qi's.

Therefore, the two brothers were trained by the Taifu, including manners and etiquette.

The two young boys already have a basic foundation, and they have started to practice martial arts, and their ability to control their bodies has been strengthened, which is not too difficult in this respect.The difficult thing is the pedigree of kinship, the Taifu actually asked them to memorize them all, not only the name, but also the character, life experience, black spots, and bright spots.

In this regard, the Tai Tu said that this was to prevent the little prince from talking and attacking others when he saw each other.

That's right, although they are both vassal kings, Xia Anran and Liu Zhi are prince vassal kings, and they are naturally opposite to the uncle vassal kings who are mainly their uncles.

This kind of antagonism is not superficial. As the emperor's uncles, they naturally would not deliberately embarrass the juniors, but this does not mean that the princes will not come to find trouble.

The feudal country is so small, and Emperor Jing has been working hard to cut down the feudal clan. Where did the cut down feudal clan go?All in the hands of his son.

How can the relationship between the two parties be good in such an environment? Our natural resources are opposed.And the confrontation between the two sides is what Emperor Jing wanted to see.

Now that you have been crowned king, no one will think about how old Liu Zhi and Liu Sheng are. The fact of being crowned king itself shows that the emperor recognizes that you have the talent and ability to manage a place, even if Liu Zhi is only six years old , if he is bullied, others will not lose face.

...Of course, there should not be many people who really come to bully Liu She. After all, the truth is true, but it still needs a thick skin to do this.

But the Ninth Prince Liu Sheng is fine.

He was one step ahead of his elder brother Zhao Wang, and he had rich experience in being a king.

Last year, I gave His Majesty a huge gift, which reminded His Majesty of the "Gonna". Now everyone can't happily pretend to be stupid and have to pay taxes.

In addition, including but not limited to grabbing business all over the place, soliciting talents everywhere, and coming up with a lot of new gadgets... The Ninth Prince is really good at jumping.

the most important is!Encourage Your Majesty to give them argumentative composition questions!

In short, the little king who has such a thing, karma, success, must ask him for advice!

Xia Anran:? ? ? ?

Xia Anran, who had become the "other people's vassal" among the vast group of vassal kings at some point, was stunned when he heard that he might be besieged.

He, is he still a minor?Isn't there a novice protection period?

No, you are not a novice!Tai Tu shook his finger and pointed to the little crown on his head.According to the rules of the Western Han Dynasty, no matter how old you are, you will no longer be a child after being crowned.

Liu Zhi looked at his elder brother's head, then at the Taifu, hesitant to speak, he touched the small horns on his own head, feeling a little lucky in his heart.

That's right, although Liu Zhi was crowned king, he was not crowned.Although it seems that their status and identity are on par with Xia Anran, there is actually an essential difference between the two, which is determined by whether they are crowned or not.

Crowning means adulthood, and it also means having independent governing powers.Not being crowned means that even if Liu She is sent to the fiefdom, he will be assisted by others to govern, and cannot make decisions alone.

This "other person" is usually the prince's mother.

Nowadays, after the death of the emperor, concubines with heirs can follow the son of the king to fief the land.

So if Emperor Jing dies now, it means that Wang Meiren will follow Liu Zhi to Jiaodong Kingdom. From then on, she will be the Queen Mother of Jiaodong Kingdom, and Mrs. Jia will go to the fiefdom of the eldest son King Zhao to be the Queen Mother Zhao, without a son. Concubine, she will retire in the palace and become a concubine.

There is an essential difference between Wang Meiren and Mrs. Jia's empress dowager life. Mrs. Jia's two sons have already been crowned, so she only has the authority of the queen mother after arriving in the feudal kingdom, and has no qualifications for governing, while Mrs. Wang can.

Therefore, in history, Liu Qi, Emperor Jing of the Han Dynasty who felt that his time was running out at that time, hurriedly crowned his youngest son Liu Che in the last period of his life.

But this now means that Xia Anran is on the same level as his uncles who are dozens of years older than him.

The little king opened and closed his lips for a long time, pitifully and helplessly seeing the Taifu slowly take out a bottle of wine.Facing the little king's obviously frightened eyes, Qu Taifu explained gently: "Your Highness is still growing, so you can drink more, but you have to drink."

Being drunk is the most basic and effective means of "bullying". Therefore, Your Highnesses, let me first practice with my ministers on how to avoid being drunk quietly.

After the first class, the two brothers of the Liu family were shocked by this world full of routines. Naturally, the little princes also attended banquets in the past, but of course they were still young at that time and they certainly didn't notice the various parties who were drinking and drinking. Such a small action, I thought everyone was really huge, but now I always feel a little bit disillusioned.

Seeing the delicate expressions of the little princes, Dou Ying gave a dry cough.In fact, there are a lot of them, but people usually don't let themselves lose their composure at the banquet, after all... He pointed to the two historians in the dark.

The two children were stunned.

The historian greeted the gazes of the two little princes, and they all reacted differently. The one from Xia Anran kept his eyes on his nose, nose, nose and heart, and remained motionless, while the one from Liu Zhi blinked, revealing that "I don't understand what you are talking about." Oh" expression.

Oh! !

As soon as Xia Anran's eyes lit up, this one could still pretend to be stupid, and he looked very tender at first glance!

He can also respond to others, but his own is different. He has already practiced the style of "let me stand still when the wind blows from east to west, and I will stand still." No matter how the little king assigns someone, he will always A look of "I bear it silently, I am unhappy, but I don't say it".But the more he acts like this, the more Xia Anran is keen to bully him.

The young historian is very fun. Although he is unwilling to do a part-time job as a schedule book, he still conscientiously reminds him at the set time, which is more considerate than a smartphone.In case Xia Anran forgets the cause and effect of a relatively distant event, the little historian can recount it to him in detail.

For such a useful little historian, Xia Anran sometimes felt ashamed to bully him.

He didn't pay the historian's salary, and naturally the little king couldn't give him a salary increase. He would usually give him some fruit or something as a welfare, but every time the little boy took the fruit silently, and his eyes seemed to see it. Like the revolutionaries after the "sugar-coated cannonball", they are full of unyielding courage.

Cough cough, there may still be the vigilance of "Are you trying to do something bad to my manuscript again?"

Uh, of course, this point was subconsciously ignored by Xia Anran.

But after a long time, the little king has thickened his skin, and he can even compete with the little king for thick skin.Moreover, the historian also saw the little king's sternness. When he was really tortured by the little king who wanted to read his manuscript, he ran away directly. He always escaped two or three times out of five times. Later...

The historian has mastered the skill of not writing at work and relying on his brain to memorize. I also know that this historian who blinked at work must be writing hard after returning home.The little king, who forced people to extend their working hours abruptly, was a little embarrassed, and could only stop this childish behavior in the end.

He put down his glass and ordered Liu Zhi's little historian, who was also a little intern, "I didn't notice you before, but you, like Qingfang, are from the historian family?"

Qing Fang was the little historian who fought wits and bravery with Xia Anran. His characters were "Qing" from "Qing Shi" and "Fang" from "Fang Zheng".

Liu Zhi's junior historian was named, and hurriedly walked out from the dark, bowing and saying: "His Royal Highness, I am not from a family of historians, but my ancestors were also the Taishi of the Zhou Dynasty. I wish to follow my ancestors, so I enroll in the department of history."

It turned out to be a family relationship!

Xia Anran smiled, "It's so good... By the way, what's your name? Do you have words?"

"Returning to Your Highness, the minister's surname is Sima, and his name is Tan. There is no word yet. He is from Xiayang County, Zuo Nei Shi."

The little king's expression froze slightly.

A native of Shaanxi, Sima Tan, in this world, apart from the historian Sima Tan who brought his son all the way to the gate of the historian, collected a lot of historical materials, and wanted to write a book that could fill the gap in history after the Spring and Autumn Period, there is also a second Sima talk?

Xia Anran quietly pinched her thigh, barely keeping her face calm.

But, but...

The little king still felt dizzy for a moment.

Then when he turned his eyes and saw Liu Zhi who was eating vegetables and melons to replenish his strength during the intermission, he suddenly calmed down.

Even Liu Xiaozhu has made his way to one-third of an acre of land, so what does the fate of others matter?

Speaking of which, he remembered that this person was also a university bully, the kind who was capable of both literature and martial arts, morality and Confucianism.Talent is unnecessary... what a waste.

The little king expressed a few words of concern in a very kind way.The sudden enthusiasm of the little king made Sima Tan, who had been in Zhongshan for a long time, feel very strange, especially the eager little eyes, which made the hairs on his back stand up one by one...

wrong!He suddenly thought of the daily life of the senior who was sitting with him... Impossible?I, I am the historian of His Royal Highness Liu Zhi, the king of Zhongshan should not...

In fact, Zhongshan Wanghui.

When Sima Tan reminded Liu Zhi with a dull face that it was time to go to practice martial arts today, the little historian swallowed a lot of bitterness in his heart.

His Highness Liu Sheng has filled His Highness Liu Zhi's schedule.After all, Liu Xiaozhu is a playful child, no matter how good his self-control is, his self-control is limited, and because of his noble status, the servants only dare to remind him gently, not to mention the little bean dings, who play more crazy than the little king.

Of course, compared with Xia Anran, Liu Zhi's learning tasks are still very easy, and he does not have his own tutor, and he is still in a free-range state, so His Royal Highness King Zhongshan handed over King Jiaodong's daily schedule to Sima Sima Tan, who was also a young boy, was forced to take on the "hard work" of reminding the little king to study.

In this regard, Xia Anran spoke eloquently. He said, on the one hand, I am giving you the opportunity to get in touch with the government at close range. On the other hand, isn’t the ultimate goal of your historians to have your own principles and not be afraid of power?Isn't this a good exercise opportunity?

The eccentric elder brother hugged his younger brother, thinking that Liu Xiaozhu is very obedient, "He's very conscious, he just forgets sometimes and needs you to remind him. Don't worry, it's very easy!"

Sima Tan silently glanced at the servant of King Jiaodong who showed a happy expression, and then at the "good king" who was hugged by his elder brother and showed him a gentle smile, and felt that it was not the case at all.

After finding an easy-to-use alarm clock for his younger brother, Xia Anran fell into the busyness of going around. In addition to the etiquette that he needed to learn during the court meeting, he also had to sort out the domestic government affairs before leaving.

The spring meeting is to arrive in Chang'an in March. Because it is a large-scale travel with rituals, the speed on the road will definitely not be fast. It is estimated that the time spent on the road will have to be about a month. By then, the longest stay of the feudal king in Beijing It was about [-] days, but because of the presence of their uncle Liu Wu, this rule may be extended.Xia Anran roughly estimated that he might leave the fief for about three months.

It's still three months of spring and summer.

This meant that he might have missed not only the spring plowing, but also the first trade between Zhongshan and Hejian.

If King Zhongshan and King Hejian, who are the key to the link between the two countries, leave the fief, then the trade flow will not be smooth, and large sums of money will be dealt with after they come back, and the delay will be too long.

Xia Anran sent someone to find his elder brother, the ferry on the Zhongshan side has basically been completed, and now he is completely waiting for the situation in the Hejian country.

Relying on the dry air in autumn, the triad dries up quickly.

Although Sanhe soil is still soil in the final analysis, it can also be poured directly like cement, and it does not need to be compacted layer by layer, as long as the air bubbles inside are forced out as much as possible.

The lower embankment was repaired in the port area, and the underwater silt at the ship's mouth was cleared to improve its buoyancy.In addition, unlike other piers, the water flow in Zhongshan is stable, but the depth of the river is not excellent, so it is more suitable for small and medium-sized ships to enter and exit than to accept large ships.

The natural carrying capacity of small and medium-sized ships is weak.In order to make up for this shortcoming, the little king asked people to set standardized ship berthing positions in the port. The cargo ship must be stuck into the groove of the port, and then the left and right sides will be put on the splint at the same time, and the crew will load and unload the cargo at the same time.In this way, compared with the conventional unilateral loading and unloading speed, it will be much higher.

Of course, this also requires ships to allow this loading and unloading method, and many cargo ships themselves open their cabins on one side.

Since it is called a port, its throughput must be guaranteed.The little king tapped thoughtfully on the word "throughput" with his paws.

"Using the most reasonable operation process, the most advanced loading and unloading technology and organization to steadily improve this data is our goal." Little King said.

"Shenze Port is the first big port in Zhongshan, but it won't be the last. You are all very aware of the limitations of land transportation. Road conditions, weather, animal power, even bandits and passes may affect the business. smooth,"

"There are many rivers in Zhongshan, and they are upstream, and the water flow is stable. We have unique water transportation conditions, but how to use and develop it needs to be jointly explored by the princes and the king."

At the court meeting on this day, the little king said calmly: "Shenze Port has been basically completed, and the inner warehouse ships made by the craftsmen have also been launched for trial voyage. If calculated according to the full load, it takes three days to unload and load a ship. This day, this time, I am not satisfied."

Zhi Du frowned, and persuaded politely: "Your Highness, loading and unloading in three days is already extremely fast, and the Zhongshan ship has a huge load. Such a speed is unheard of. If it speeds up again, it will have to force the porter."

The little king nodded, "Prime Minister, don't worry, the people transported in the port area are all Zhongshan people, and this king has no intention of forcing them."

Then, he revealed his plan, "When manpower is exhausted, the power of machinery is infinite. What this king wants is to recruit famous people from all over the world, and let them design and manufacture mechanical cargo handling for Shenze Port."

"If the power of an adult man is used as one force, this king wants a machine that can carry three or four forces at a time." He probably drew on the paper the same shape as the gantry crane of later generations, and then passed the paper Go on, "If you have such an object...you can speed it up."

The eyes of several young courtiers brightened after passing it around, but on the other hand, they also raised a question, "Your Highness, there is such a machine, but how to keep it from falling during the transportation of the goods? And ordinary ropes may not be able to support it. This weight."

The little king smiled slightly, so he wanted to post a list to find talented people who could solve this problem for him. The little king believed that experts were free from the common people.

Not only did he want to post the list, but he also took the opportunity to open Shenze Port for people to visit.

But there is no need to say these things at the meeting, "This king has decided to spend money to find talents."

Facing the shocked gazes of his subordinates, the little king said calmly: "Anyone who proposes a transportation policy in the port area that others have not raised will get one gold; if the final opinion is accepted by the Zhongshan Kingdom, he will get ten gold. We will give a hundred gold to those who really achieve the goal.”

"This fee is paid by the Shaofu, so you don't have to worry about it."

Are they worried about money?

The courtiers below were roaring in their hearts. What they were worried about was what kind of whirlpool the Zhongshan Congress would fall into after this plan was put forward!

The royal family of the Han Dynasty respects simplicity and simplicity. Your Highness, your old man washes every piece of clothing until it can no longer be washed before changing it. Have you considered how he feels after hearing the news of you?

We know that you have indeed made a lot of money recently, but now is not the time to show off!

The little king lowered his eyes, and was silent in the face of the voices of remonstrance from many courtiers. This non-violent and non-cooperative attitude made the courtiers turn their attention to the three big men in the court.

Especially the Prime Minister Zhidu and Taifu Quyi, but what people didn't expect was that it was Han Ying who stood up first.

Han Ying was in charge of the laws of the whole country. As soon as he stood up, everyone fell silent, waiting for his golden words.Unexpectedly, the boss stood up and said calmly: "I think, yes!"

His position immediately caused the courtiers in the hall to fall into madness.There are many young courtiers in the middle and upper classes of Zhongshan Kingdom. These people are flexible in thinking. When they saw Han Ying voted in favor, these people immediately started brainstorming in their minds.Han Ying is a well-known Confucian in the whole country, and his head is extremely hard. The little king's father couldn't suppress him, let alone the young king. Therefore, Han Yushi's vote of approval is undoubtedly a reminder to the young people. : Think deeply.

Think... can't think of it! !

If you can't think of it, you have to think about it. Do you still want to be taken back by the gentlemen for further education?Now that the gentlemen have new students, they are particularly disgusted by the old students, whether they have noses or eyes or eyes.

By the way, the last time they were pulled back for "remelting" was because of coinage.At that time, the little king controlled the coinage, but now, the little king spends a lot of money to ask for a thought, which is really strange.

And His Highness knew that he already had an idea, so he still posted a notice... Ah!

Just as everyone lowered their eyes and started brainstorming, a person suddenly stood up and bowed to the little king.Under the urgent sight of everyone, this gentleman said with a trembling voice: "I think there is still a problem with the construction of the port area."

"Young man." Xia Anran looked at this young man who was shy at first sight with encouraging eyes.

The latter calmed down and took another deep breath, "Your Highness, I don't think we should blindly pursue the throughput. The volume of shipping is large, and one ship can be equivalent to the carrying capacity of more than a dozen caravans, but in the end the goods still have to go ashore. I dare to ask Your Highness, Your Highness has experimented with loading and unloading cargo for three days before, how many days can the cargo be transported out of the port area?"

The little king smiled with interest, pointed at the young man out of thin air, and boasted: "Your words are reasonable."

He looked at Manchao Wenwu again, "Do you have any other opinions?"

It started with this person, and the court quickly returned to its original lively appearance. There were quite a few people who raised objections. Apart from the lack of land transportation capacity in the port area, there was also a shortage of labor force.

Xia Anran had people record all these.

Finally, after the court gradually became quiet, the little king asked people to record what they had done and circulate it among the officials.After everyone expressed that they had no additional opinions, he said calmly, "This is the second strategy that this king has consulted with the world. This strategy..."

The young king of Zhongshan laughed and said, "This king offers a reward of one thousand pieces of gold."
