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

The person who came here was the messenger of Zhongshan country, because he often traveled the line between Zhongshan country and Zhao country, his face was remembered by Brother Liu Qi!

The messenger smiled at King Zhao, showing a mouthful of small white teeth that are extremely rare in this era, and then saluted him very neatly, "Your Highness, His Highness King Zhongshan has a letter for you."

Hey, this bad brother!Liu Pengzu sighed in his heart, his younger brother is obviously only one year younger than him, but why is he so clingy and so young?There are still a lot of ghost ideas, which are old and annoying.

Did the mother eat something strange when she was pregnant with the younger brother, or did he learn something strange in the year before Fan?

Full of slander, Liu Pengzu took the small bamboo tube handed over by the servant, and pulled out a stack of thick paper rolls.The corner of his mouth twitched, but he still didn't intend to look at the astonishing number of scrolls at the door.

The young man strode back to the palace, the paper roll in his hand was not someone else's, he kept holding it by himself, his strength staged his mouth and body.

Although Zhao Wangjiufan's time was short, there was the palace of the feudal king Liu Sui here, so Liu Pengzu didn't need to rebuild the palace, and he didn't have much interest in the extravagant palace, so he lived in it after a rough layout.

In the era of Emperor Gaozu, Han Gaozu granted this place to his favorite son as a feudal city, and its wealth can be imagined.Therefore, although Liu Pengzu was not interested in building palaces, the palace complex in Zhao State itself was large enough. He was walking again, and when he finally took his seat, his breathing was somewhat short of breath.

But after he opened the scroll, his breathing was stagnant, and then his eyebrows became higher and higher according to what he saw. Finally, he put the few pieces of paper on the table, only feeling a little itchy in the palm of his hand.

He took a few breaths, and said to the messenger who followed: "Your Highness will choose talents next spring?"

"Yes!" The messenger replied respectfully.

Then, he heard the voice of Zhao Wang gritted his teeth and squeezed out from between his teeth, "You Zhongshan King wants to choose talents, why do you want me to help him come up with questions?"

The young man clapped his paws, "Last time he said that the middle school had no talent, and this king helped me too. Now he has found Han Ying, hasn't he?"

Regarding this expected question, the messenger calmly said what Xia Anran had ordered before he left, "Your Highness said, His Highness King Zhao's questions are of a very high standard, even Han Yushi couldn't do it back then." He answered with full marks, so this time he still wants to bother His Royal Highness Zhao Wang."

Liu Pengzu snorted inexplicably, and tapped his brother's letter with his fingertips, with displeasure on his face, and a sense of numb pleasure in his heart.

Cough, when it comes to the law, he believes that he will not lose to others.The younger brother is still very discerning, after all, he is his younger brother.

"He has a good plan." The young man rolled his eyelids, "Your Highness Liu Sheng doesn't limit his native place and background, and attracted many talented people from our Zhao country, and he asked me to write a question for him?" , with his shovel.

The messenger waited silently below, without saying a word.Every time the little king wrote a letter to his elder brother, His Royal Highness Zhao Wang always had a good meal, but after all, he answered His Royal Highness every time for the last time.

Just talk about it, anyway, this guy doesn't want to wait for him to answer.

Unexpectedly, this time King Zhao stopped his mouth after saying a few words, and the hall was quiet. The messenger carefully raised his face to look, and saw Liu Pengzu thinking about something on his face.After a while, the sound of the tip of the pen rubbing against the paper came, and the young man said to the messenger while writing: "Go back and tell your highness that this question was given to him by the king, and let him use the answer to this question in exchange for the answer." what he wants."

He added something with a smile in his eyes and a very happy expression on his face: "If the answer is not good, what he wants..."

"...Won't you give it to me?" Xia Anran opened his eyes wide as he opened the letter, and he muttered, "Brother is so shameless."

Then, with some curiosity, he unfolded the topic handed by his brother.Seeing this question, the corner of the little king's mouth twitched.He met Liu Zhi's curious eyes, and passed the piece of paper over. Liu Xiaozhu couldn't practice kung fu well, so he burst out laughing immediately after reading each word with his fingers pressed down.

As soon as he raised his head again, Liu Zhi's dark eyes met his naughty elder brother who flickered.The two smiled tacitly together.

The question written on that piece of paper can be said to be the most difficult question in the whole world - to give a gift that the father will definitely be satisfied with.

Zhao Wang wrote this topic to embarrass his younger brother on the one hand, and on the other hand he was really troubled about what tribute to send to the king.

Emperor Jingdi Liu Qi of the Han Dynasty, their father was very contradictory, and his emotions were often hidden.For children, this lack of emotion on the face is really a test of their ability to perceive words and expressions.

They seldom saw their father being particularly happy, Liu Qi was also very restrained about his hobbies, as if he liked everything, and he didn't care about anything.

Liu Pengzu came to Fan later than Xia Anran. He had seen his father's appearance when his younger brother sent the porcelain scorpion, and he obviously liked it so much. But after that, the porcelain scorpion was put into his father's young mansion. Like the presents that he liked very much, they were all shelved until Liu Pengzu left, and he never saw his father take them out to play with.

As vassal kings, the gifts they gave to the emperor were actually regulated. Unlike the vassal kings of the previous dynasties, the vassal kings of the Western Han Dynasty calculated and delivered gifts based on the number of household registrations under their jurisdiction, and usually handed them in the form of gold, so The better the fiefdom, the higher the fees that need to be paid. Of course, these fees are trivial compared to taxes.

As sons, the little vassal kings naturally have to give another gift with personal feelings.

About half a month ago, Liu Xiaozhu was also troubled by this problem.

He is young, and his thinking is simpler. Seeing Xia Anran counting gifts with his fingers, he also wants to join in the fun.For children, he will not calculate the economic value of gifts, Liu Xiaoshen thinks that the specimen leaves he made are very meaningful!

Xia Anran put Liu Zhi's gift into the box as a gift for his father when the time comes.

And Xia Anran, who considers herself a good brother, actually felt in her heart that this gift was not enough, so she planned to pull her younger brother into something.

This is the first time to meet after the Seven Kingdoms Rebellion. At that time, besides these little princes, the uncles of the Liu family will also come. As a good son, of course he will share his worries with his father.

"How do we share our worries?" Liu Xiaozhu babbled and ate the dried tofu, looked at his brother with special trust and said, "I'll be with brother."

"We are vassal kings." Xia Anran instructed his younger brother earnestly, "Our task is to stabilize this country like a paperweight...so..."

Before he finished speaking, the younger brother raised his oily little hand, "Brother, what is a paperweight?"

Xia Anran silently suppressed his younger brother's raised hand, "That's not the point. The point is that our duty as a feudal lord is to help my father stabilize the country, and we also have the responsibility to pass on my father's philosophy of governing the country to everyone. At the same time, when we discover any good principles and methods for governing the country, we should tell Father, we are the eyes and ears of King Father."

He tried his best to brainwash his young brother, and the little prince nodded, but he still didn't quite understand what his brother wanted to say.

The little king came over and said quietly: "So brother thought, we can try to write down the things that Jiufan has encountered in these days, whether they are resolved or not, and on the one hand, it can be given to the younger brothers of Jiufan in the future. As a reference, on the other hand, everyone can get inspiration from it by circulating it.”

"Oh~~~" The kid elongated his tone, "I understand."

Liu Zhi stretched out his hand to ask Xia Anran to wipe the oil on his fingertips, and said obediently, "Brother, what you mean is that it is very likely that the problems that you encountered have already been solved by other brothers, and other There is a problem with brother, and I may have already solved it. Because if we chat together, everyone may forget to mention it, but it doesn’t matter if it is written in a booklet.”

"That's right," his elder brother's eyes sparkled, "but the only problem is...it's useless if only we two write it. How can we get other brothers to write it?"

After all, writing this kind of thing is no different from public execution. It is simply an alternative work report, which is extremely troublesome.

And if they don't tell their elder brothers after they hand it over themselves, then the elder brothers will definitely beat up the two younger brothers in the dark.But if they contact their elders to write together, they will definitely find it very troublesome and unwilling to do it. If they submit it, they will still be beaten up in the end.

In this era, when an elder brother wants to spank his younger brother, no one can stop him.

At that time, the little princes couldn't come up with a good excuse even though they thought hard, so this idea was temporarily shelved, but now, a few mouthfuls were sent to the door.

When the seventh son of the emperor didn't know anything, his name had already been typed on the initiative pamphlet and then sent to various countries!

After cooperating with Liu Xiaozhu to stage the plan of the pit brother, the little king is relaxed, man, he can only fly when someone takes the blame.

Liu Zhi's eyes were shining brightly. He watched his elder brother write letters one by one, and then stamped his private seal on them, and then each letter carrying the "true love" of his brothers would pass through the letter. The post station of Zhongshan Kingdom flew to the major vassal states.

As for how the older brothers felt after receiving the letter, the younger brothers didn't care. It was the privilege of being a younger brother to make trouble for the older brother.

Xia Anran spoke confidently, and Liu Xiaozhu nodded in agreement.

Hearing these words, Dou Wan silently glanced at the two little princes, twitched the corners of his mouth, and finally said nothing.

Xia Anran, who didn't know how big a hole he had dug for himself, was currently busy standardizing the farming tools in Zhongshan.

Liu Xiaozhu is a little unhappy these days, because with the deepening of autumn, the teams of migratory birds going south have set off one after another.

Although Liu Zhi has never stopped feeding, except for a very small number of relatively weak migratory birds, most of them are still flying south, including Duo Duo.

The swan that was kept beside the little kings suddenly flew back to the palace one day, and then, to the surprise of Liu Zhi and Xia Anran, it flapped its big wings and made a clear and clear cry.

This is the cry of a swan, not the cry of many ducks in the past.

Both Xia Anran and Liu Zhi realized what this meant.

Liu Zhi was very disappointed, but Xia Anran was already prepared, he quickly took this opportunity to take off the small scarf around Duoduo's neck, and then put on another scarf that was thinner and more elastic.

This scarf is a Kesi product made by Wei Qing's elder sister, Wei Ru. Unlike embroidery, the number of silk threads used in Kesi has not increased, so Kesi works can guarantee that even though it is full of various complicated patterns, Still only the weight of a piece of cloth.

This was what Wei Ru took the initiative to do after hearing Wei Qing's story about the ugly duckling. Girls are always more careful than boys. She thought that Duoduo was still a minor and might continue to grow.

In order to finish the work before Duoduo left, she would do housework during the day and make the scarf by herself at night, and she would not stop on holidays. Even the Wei family members had no time to deliver it. In Xia Anran's hands. ?

Natural silk is very elastic. After observing the thickness of the neck of an adult swan, this brand new small scarf ensures that it will not be strangled too much.

The swans go south, no one knows where their wintering place is, all Xia Anran can do is to give as much shelter as possible to Duoduo geese who are about to leave home.

He put the scarf on the base of Duoduo Goose's long neck. This weight is nothing to a sub-adult swan. Duoduo Goose looked at Xia Anran quietly with his dark eyes. After a while, he put his head on the little king's shoulder rubbed on it.

The parting was imminent, even Xia Anran, who had a firm heart, couldn't help but hugged him in his arms and made out with him.

On the second day, the swans in Biezhuang all took off.

The scene of the swans taking off was very good. After a run-up, dozens of snow-white swans spread their wings and soared straight into the sky.

Duo Duo Goose glanced back at Xia Anran and the others, and finally left with his companions fluttering his wings. He wore a golden scarf around his neck that represented his identity, which was extremely conspicuous when he took off.

The little bean dings couldn't hold back at the moment, and they all lost their golden beans, especially Wei Qing, who had just sent away his family, was crying sadly.

After several days, the children couldn't recover, so the little king also took the children out to relax on this day.

Originally, paddy fields were the main crops in Zhongshan Country. Except for the one-season vegetables grown after the rice fields were harvested, the people here really had little experience in farming dry fields.

Although theoretically dry fields are more convenient to manage than paddy fields, if the little king wants to promote the double compound planting method of dry fields and paddy fields in China, the large-scale continuous planting of wheat and wheat in the first year will definitely benefit the people.

Such intensive promotion is very necessary.

Before the promotion, Xia Anran circled a piece of dry land as an experiment.

For this reason, the little king borrowed a lot of farm tools from Daijun, who has rich experience in dryland farming, and then dragged the farmer's people up and down for a while.

Among the tools that need to be improved is the columbine car.

The columbine is a kind of seed drill, which can complete the three tasks of breaking soil, sowing, and burying at one time. As long as the speed is controlled properly, the labor pressure of farmers can be greatly reduced.

However, the current columbine is driven by manpower for sowing in a single row. Considering the abundant animal power resources in Zhongshan, the craftsmen upgraded it to a multi-row drill that can sow five elements at a time. Afterwards, they added a small gap at the back of the seed bin to sprinkle fine fertilizers such as silkworm excrement and vermicompost in it.

In this way, it is possible to provide the seeds with the fertilizer for the first layer of growth while sowing.

Moreover, silkworm excrement and vermicompost are relatively mild, and even if they are mixed with seeds, they are not easy to decompose and burn the seeds.

This kind of sowing method is very efficient. Immediately after it was made, the craftsmen carried it to the field and tried it several times. Of course, considering the current weather, they simply sprinkled plant ash in the seed pit and fertilized it while doing experiments.

Such a five-row columbine is so huge that even a strong laborer can't pull it, only animal power can be used.

"The premise of promoting this product must be enough animal power." In the howling autumn wind, Liu Zhi put his hands in his sleeves and tilted his head and said, "But what should we do if there are not so many animal power in other places?"

The child is in the process of trying to correct the repetitions because he feels that he has no momentum. Now he is very serious when he speaks.Xia Anran felt that this appearance was very amusing, so she encouraged her younger brother to express more opinions, "Then, can you think of a way for those places that don't have any bulls?"

Liu Xiaozhu looked at his childish elder brother slowly, and said, "If you don't have a cow, you can use horses, donkeys, or human power."

Then, without waiting for the little king to continue asking questions, he looked directly at the craftsman, "Is there any way to make the columbine cart lighter and simpler?"

"Returning to Your Highness," the craftsman bowed to Xiao Douding, "It's easier, the only way is to reduce its load, that is, reduce the opening for storing seeds, or use nearby wood."

"However, if the size of the columbine is too small, it will also lead to poor ground-breaking performance of the columbine mouth, which will require more force from the farmers." The craftsman added.

Liu Zhi's small face was suddenly a little dazed, but Xia Anran understood what the craftsman meant.

The force of gravity is relieved, and the only way to exert the same pressure on the ground is to increase the pulling force or artificially apply downward force.

This means that what can be done by a cow may now require a person to support it.

It's too troublesome to explain, Xia Anran simply picked up Xiaodouding, and put it into the grain storage barrel of the columbine cart.

It is a large columbine, and the depth inside is high, but it is not a problem for young children.

Liu Xiaozhu was only startled at first when his brother suddenly stuffed him in, but soon he pulled the pole to stabilize himself, and he was able to stand firmly on the pole and stick out his little head to observe the surroundings.Xia Anran stuffed another Han Yan inside, looked at the space and signaled for the bullock cart to move forward.

The old scalper gnawing on forage didn't care about the weight of the two extra children at all, and walked forward after being pulled by the nose ring, and after it walked slowly for a while, Xia Anran stretched out her hand to support Han Yan His arms lifted the man out with a whoosh, and then Liu Xiaozhu. At this time, the bullock cart was still moving forward.

As soon as the two little peas fell to the ground, they were each stuffed with a small ruler, and Xia Anran asked them to measure the depth of the soil layer broken by the columbine cart.Because the last small plank used to cover the soil was removed, five small pits that were not filled can be clearly seen along the way.

The two little bean dings immediately squatted on the ground and measured carefully. After a while, they surrounded the little king who was looking at the experiment records. "Brother, brother, when you and Ah Yan are inside, the pit on the ground is deeper!"

"Correct."

After the little king stamped the test record, he handed it to the waiting craftsman, "So did you understand what the craftsman said just now?"

Liu Zhi nodded, and then sighed very childishly, feeling that this question is really too difficult, "Understood! What the craftsman means is that if it is too light, it will not save effort."

"Then what should I do?"

Seeing his sad look, the little king found it very amusing. He smiled and said, "Two evils are lesser. One is that you can't use it, and the other is that you need to work hard. If you were a farmer, which one would you choose?"

The child's eyes lit up, and he raised his hands, "It's a bit harder to choose! I understand!"

With his hands behind his back, he said while stepping on his elder brother's footsteps walking towards the farm: "So we still need to make it lighter, because only lighter can ensure that the farmer can pull it up, but it can't be too light. If it’s too light, the seeds won’t be buried deep. Farmers won’t find it easy to use.”

"Yes," the little king affirmed his thoughts, and suddenly found that the belt was being pulled, and when he turned his head, he saw his younger brother pulling his belt, stepping on his steps, thinking about something, with a blank expression on his face.

Seeing his younger brother like this, Xia Anran didn't go to wake him up, but took his younger brother to walk around on the ground.

The little Doudings thought they were playing a game, and immediately followed behind the little prince.This movement awakened Liu Zhi from his thoughts just now, he blinked his eyes wide, a little confused why his friends ran over and pulled his belt.

Xia Anran was playful, he looked around, saw Dou Wan who was writing something in the corridor and called out: "Ah Wan—"

Dou Wan raised his head in response, and saw a group of little peas hanging behind Xia Anran, he was stunned for a moment, then put down his pen and walked towards them, and then he was assigned a task to play the role of the eagle in the game of eagle and chicken.

Dou Wan raised his eyebrows, pointed to himself, "Me?"

Then he pointed to the little chicks who listened patiently to the explanation, "Do you want to catch them?"

The playful Xia Anran explained the rules again, and then taught the chicks not only to protect themselves, but also to protect the chick at the bottom!

After the chicks are captured, they will become captives of the eagle. When all the chicks are captured, the mother chicken will become an eagle.

There is such a fun game!There are more players in this game, and the little Douding on Zhuangzi has been dug out.

Children are the most classless creatures in the world. When they hear that they are playing games, they don’t care what the identity of the belt they are holding is. Moreover, Liu Xiaozhu’s belt is disliked because it has too many ornaments on it. It was hard, but it made Liu Xiaozhu very angry.

He immediately took off his belt, and then asked someone to change it. Liu Zhi's waist was too thin, and the belt he got was wrapped around twice.

However, these layers of belts gave him a sense of security, and Xiao Douding walked with a figure of eight gait, very airy, but felt sorry for the person who changed belts with him.The little king can downgrade and use the belt of the common people, but the common people cannot overstep.And even if he could, he couldn't use it, the size didn't match, the young man could only pull his trouser belt to hide behind people.

Xia Anran directed the little Doudings to line up one by one, then he lowered his body and opened his hands to Dou Wan, "Ah Wan, come on."

"Okay!" Dou Wan, who played the role of the eagle, clapped his hands lightly, "Then Wan is here."

After saying that, he strode forward quickly, Xia Anran didn't expect that he would charge straight to attack, he was caught off guard but couldn't dodge in time, was stabbed in the front, Dou Wan's hands went through his armpit and grabbed Xiao Douding behind him.

"Ah... that's not right!!"

When the two collided like this, Xia Anran was completely crushed between the young boy and the little Doudings. He was flattened, only felt that the boy's body was full of heat and strength, and he had difficulty breathing, so he hurriedly patted the boy on the shoulder. , said dumbfoundedly: "Ah Wan, you can't grab the front one, you have to grab it from the back!"

Dou Wan paused, his hands were already on the shoulders of Zhang Qian who was holding Xia Anran's belt, he raised his eyebrows, "Can't you grab it from the front?"

"No, no, no." Xia Anran patted his arm again to signal him to let go, Dou Wanying seemed dissatisfied that his prey was snatched away like this, and let go rather unwillingly.

Xia Anran then added the rules to others, and then the game restarted.Dou Wan's movements are extremely flexible, and Xia Anran, who is a mother chicken, can't stop his attacks at all, especially this eagle is well versed in the art of war, and is extremely skilled in playing east and west.He barely blocked three times and the line of defense was breached.

The little chickens exclaimed one after another. Although the chickens in the middle were very safe, they also subconsciously wanted to avoid them. In addition, Xia Anran consciously adjusted the team, and the whole chicken team quickly centered on Xia Anran shrink inward.

Wei Qing, who was at the end of the line, pinched the corner of the person in front of him and flexed his hands and feet to move aside. The person in front of him was a child in Zhuangzi, and he didn't have a good understanding with him, and his legs were slow. Wei Qing, who didn't want to be taken away, simply Drag him to run.

The first capture was just Dou Wan's test of the water, and soon the chicks chirped and returned to the old mother's protection, and Xia Anran, who was face to face with Dou Wan again, winked at him and motioned him to put some water , run slowly, the little doudings have short legs, so they can't stand running so fast.

Seeing his movements, Dou Wan was taken aback for a moment, then he slowly rolled up his sleeves, and looked over with extremely sharp eyes.

Little King:? ? ? ?
