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

At this time, Han Ying heard the muttering voices of the next few young gentlemen, "Awu, are you alright, you are so heavy."

"Yeah, yeah, we can't hold on soon... hurry up."

Han Ying herself was sitting on the bamboo fence closest to the next door. Looking at the colorful little face on top of it because of nervousness, and then looking at several colleagues who were also in the same soup pool, they didn't seem to be disturbed at all. It is very comfortable to lie on the board with an inclined angle and bask in the belly.

The man smiled slightly, and he made a gesture of silence towards Cheng Wu, then he got up, went up the steps beside him, and said deliberately as he walked: "I'm really dizzy after soaking in this pool for a long time, baby go Dry it on that board."

Zhidu was taking off the wet towel covering his eyes at this time, he didn't open his eyes, but deftly soaked the towel in the hot spring water and wrung it dry, then put the warm veil over his eyes again, he The voice was misty as if he was about to fall asleep, "It was said earlier that you would feel tightness in your chest when soaking like that, you should be like us when soaking in warm soup, don't let the hot water pass over your chest, this way you won't feel dizzy .”

Han Ying looked at the other men who repeated the same action, and then looked up at Cheng Wu and the others who were standing on the bamboo frame with their hands ready to go. The corners of their lips slightly raised, and they leisurely entered the room.Only a moment later, he heard the extremely loud sound of water, followed by loud roars of men and laughter of children.

He lay comfortably on top of the stone slab. The charcoal stove was lit in the room, and the temperature was very suitable.Han Ying only covered her stomach with a veil, closed her eyes and let the anger take away the moisture.Because it was too comfortable, he was a bit lazy, even Cheng Bushi stepped on his son angrily while twisting his ears, he didn't bother to open his eyes.

Cough, the child is getting skinny, it's time to clean up, but don't teach your well-behaved Highness badly.

As for why Han Ying didn't do it himself?

Of course it's because he is a great Confucian, how can a great Confucian hit people casually.

----------------

Xia Anran and others waited in Bieyuan for seven or eight days, and then received a letter from his brother, Zhao Wang's team was ready, waiting for his brother in Handan.

As for King Lu...?

Zhao Wang said very calmly, of course, my younger brother will go with him, the team of the two vassals is already quite large, if the three vassals act together, it will be a great burden for the stations along the way, and there will be King Jiaodong at that time The teams are going to be merged, let's forget about going together.

At this time, the iron cage for catching the tiger has not yet been completed. Liu Zhi regrets this, but facing his brother, he still waved his hand very freely to express that it's okay.

On the contrary, Xia Anran felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He felt that Liu Xiaozhu had grown up a lot in the past few days. From a mischievous younger brother to a prince, he was a little too quiet and considerate.

This change was so sudden that the elder brother was caught off guard.

Facing his brother's melancholy gesture, Liu Zhi's explanation immediately made the little king happy again.

Liu Zhi said: "You can't let my elder brother be said to have failed to teach my younger brother well." So he tried his best to show the appearance that a qualified vassal king should have.

My brother is so sweet!

The touched elder brother immediately patted his chest and said that when the elder brother caught the big tiger, he would send it to the younger brother immediately.

It doesn't matter if the old man might issue ten reprimands at that time!

This is an agreement between brothers, the kind that pulls the hook, it is an agreement that must be fulfilled.

Liu Zhi was frightened by his brother's determination, and then he began to seriously think about where he should raise the tiger if his brother really sent it over.

What if the sisters are afraid?What should my brother do if he is afraid?What does the big tiger want to eat?What should I do if I can't afford it anymore?I don't know if my father is willing to help raise it together... If my father is not willing, is there any use in finding the eldest mother?

It never occurred to him that he would start thinking about pet rations at such a young age. Liu Zhi was troubled by himself for a long time, and his friends waved their hands when they heard about it, "What's the matter, we will help you when the time comes." Just raise them together."

Unlike Liu Zhi, who is rich in a country but not economically independent, Han Yan, as the young master of Gong Gaohou's family, although he is a bastard, has a lot of money at his disposal. At that time, a big red envelope was sent to the eldest grandson.

After breaking up her private property for a long time, Han Yan said that he can share half of the big tiger. Of course, it is still not enough to keep it in his house.

Because although Han Yan was favored, he was born as a concubine, and there was an aunt in the family who didn't like him very much. It was impossible to guarantee what this aunt who was dazzled by jealousy would do.

Han Yan was really worried that she would do something like let a tiger bite a person. At that time, she would be able to drag him and King Jiaodong into the water with one move, and even King Zhongshan would not be able to get rid of it. Wang Dingran will not get well.

So Han Yan gave the little king a very valuable suggestion - why not foster the tiger in His Majesty's garden?That's right, it is Shanglin Garden with beautiful mountains, clear waters and beautiful scenery.

Your Highness, don't you feel that Shanglinyuan lacks a bit of arrogance and needs to suppress the field with the roar of tigers?

In fact, Han Yan, who had never been to Shanglinyuan, was talking nonsense, but Liu Zhi listened to it. Not to mention, he always felt that Shanglinyuan was indeed a bit too soft, but it was his father's territory after all, and he didn't care about it. What to say.

But he can give his father a big tiger.

But after all, it was a gift from my elder brother. If you want to re-gift it, you have to ask your elder brother.

Will Xia Anran have any objections?of course not.

After the things are sent out, who will take care of them?As for cheating, no, he didn't do anything, and it wasn't him who cheated, he didn't know anything.

Therefore, the future of this big tiger who is still wandering around in the mountains and forests looking for tiger sisters is clearly arranged.

Zhao Wang was shocked by the simple and rude handling of the younger brothers.

His Royal Highness King Zhao, who heard about this after meeting, frowned and looked at his two younger brothers, especially Liu Zhi.

He stayed in the palace for a long time, and the relationship between Mrs. Jia and Wang Meiren can be regarded as good. Neither of them has a sharp temper, and they get along well. What's more, he sent Liu She over this journey, and they got along very well. time.

How did he remember at that time... Liu Zhi didn't have this personality?

——Is it that unreliable?

"Haven't you ever thought about seeing a tiger skin in a few days?" He said incredulously.When the son gave the father a tiger, wouldn't the father's normal reaction be to make full use of the tiger and transform it into tiger skin, tiger teeth, and tiger bones?

Why do the younger brothers feel that their father will raise it after receiving this "gift"?

The two little princes were shocked, still, still like this?

Liu Zhi immediately showed a thoughtful expression, pondered for a while, and then he said to his elder brother: "Brother, can you tell the father about that?"

that piece?Zhao Wang looked at his younger brother, and saw that the latter nodded cautiously, and Liu Xiaozhu looked relaxed again.

Zhao Wang endured it, but he couldn't hold it back. He supported his throbbing forehead with one hand, "Talk to me first, don't make any taboos."

So, all the way from Handan to Chang'an, he listened to what his younger brothers did.By the end, he was a little numb.

However, I don't know if it's because of the younger brothers' ability to express, or because of his poor comprehension. What the younger brother said...why can't he understand it?

Well, it must be that the younger brothers have problems with their expressive skills.

"Sheng'er is saying that the seaports of Zhongshan and Quanzhou will be connected?"

After completing the psychological construction, Zhao Wang, who was worried about his younger brothers' expressive ability, paused. At first, he thought it was whimsical, but after a while, he felt that it seemed a bit interesting.

He had never seen the Zhongshan, so naturally he didn't know how big the ship his brother built was, in his imagination it was the size of a fleet.

Since it is the size of a small fleet...my brother can play as much as he wants, he has no objections.

If I lose money... Hey, what can I do if I send some food to help my younger brother, my younger brother is a debt.

If he succeeds, he can also take part in the mid-term to earn some money for his wife and son to come back.Zhao State covers a small area and is mainly a commercial city, so Zhao State is a typical vassal state where the Shaofu is richer than the Dasinong.

But how can there be too much money?King Zhao didn't have such a luxury.

Moreover, as Mrs. Jia's eldest son, he will also take on the responsibility of supporting his mother in the future, and it is not a small expense to support the majesty of a queen mother.

His Royal Highness Zhao Wang secretly wrote down this sum in his heart, and then he heard the "Ambition of Hegemony" of the Xiong brothers.As the youngest brother, Liu Zhi shared his ideals of life with his brothers without hesitation. King Zhao was speechless when he heard that the youngest brother wanted to "defeat the Xiongnu and rob the princess, and even take the Hun princess back." .

So what, brother, have you considered what to do if the Xiongnu princess is really taken back?Dad will definitely not accept it. If you do accept it, you will be making your mother unhappy, and it will increase the rank of Princess Xiongnu for nothing. The biggest possibility is that whoever brings it back will digest it...

He slowly turned his head to look at his brother, Xia Anran silently turned his gaze away as he tortured his elder brother's soul.

Zhao Wang suddenly felt itchy.

He rubbed his hands unconsciously, suppressing this violent thought and moving on to the next topic.

He politely asked Liu Zhi to get out of the carriage first.After Liu Xiaozhu got into his car with a question mark on his head, Zhao Wang took out a feather duster from under his chair.

No, brother, why do you have this! !

Xia Anran was stunned, no, brother, what do you want to do with this?

He reacted quickly, and the sixth sense frantically called the police.

The little king ran away without hesitation

Zhao Wang chased after the carriage with a grim face, and used his name to go around asking for manuscripts?This bad brother even ran out and said that he made the initiative, so the princes who couldn't refuse wrote letters ridiculing him one after another. God knows what kind of inexplicable he was when he received the letters from his brothers, so he almost didn't write a letter to tear up with a few brothers.

The letter my younger brother wrote to him was sincere, presenting the facts and reasoning.He was very relieved after receiving the letter, but what about the letters he wrote to other brothers?Not only adding oil and vinegar, but also sowing discord and fanning the flames.

Who taught him one thing on the face and another on the back?

Teach your children well?Don't be ridiculous, the old Liu's family didn't have this kind of education.

His Royal Highness King Zhao, who picked up a feather duster, took his younger brother back with a few quick steps. Xia Anran immediately shouted: "Brother, give younger brother a chance to redeem himself."

"Okay!" Zhao Wang took the feather duster and pulled out a sword flower in his hand. Holding the fried hair part in his hand, he tapped his brother with the pole, "Say!"

Therefore, the little king, who was eager to atone for his sins, talked about the idea of ​​using the avenue to build a commercial activity area, and also showed the example of Zhongshan Kingdom to his brother.Through this small commercial area, every wave of merchants can be firmly caught, and in order to prevent merchants from turning around after shopping in the shopping area, he also set up different specialties for one south and one north.

Zhao Wang was unmoved.

The place where the avenue passes through the country of Zhao is Handan, their capital. Let alone a commercial area, the country of Zhao built a city directly along the avenue.

Every caravan going to the north has to pass through their central axis, and the shops opened along the side of the avenue are basically full of money every year, which is much more refreshing than Xia Anran's scratching his boots.

The little king looked at his brother in admiration, and felt that his brother was really amazing. He just rubbed some broth, and his brother put the meat bowl in front of him!

Zhao Wang sneered.It's useless to flatter, and he didn't build Handan City. This stupid brother can't even praise people.

The little king quickly raised the gold medal for avoiding death, "Brother, Zhongshan has developed iron wire!".

China has a very long history of non-ferrous metal processing. Gold thread has already appeared in Dahan. One of this thread is used to make embroidery threads on clothes, and the other is used to make connecting threads for jade pieces. Of course, so far, in fact, That's it.

Because of its good ductility, gold and silver wire is relatively simple to make. It only needs to be processed into thin sheets.

But iron wire is different. Iron has poor ductility, and pig iron is highly brittle and hard. It is so inefficient to make iron wire by this method that outsiders cannot bear it.

When Zhongshan State was designing the suspension rope, it encountered the problem of the hardness of the rope. Today’s rope is completely straw rope, and the remarkable thing is the rattan rope, which is very low in hardness when supported by plant fibers.

And if you want to lift more goods, the tension of the rope is a huge test.

The method that the little king came up with was to mix iron wire into the rope to disperse the tension, and he even wanted to use it in the mode of wrapping the wire with straw rope.

Soak the straw rope in tung oil and wrap it around the wire, which can effectively prevent the wire from rusting.

Then he encountered a bolt from the blue.

The blacksmith of Zhongshan Country told him guiltily that according to the current productivity of Zhongshan Country, such a requirement could not be met.The new smelting method did greatly increase the yield of iron products.However, per unit yield and refined production are not the same thing. If they are asked to provide refined iron of the same quality, it will be no problem, but iron wire cannot. The time to make iron wire is even several times that of forging iron.If the iron wire is made according to the requirements of the little king, the energy consumed is almost no less than that of a knife of the same length.

The expense surprised the little king.

Then he personally went to the workshop to observe how the Western Han people made iron wire, and finally he silently took out a paintbrush and asked someone to draw a swing.

This thing is the only thing Xia Anran knows that can make iron wire.

The principle is very simple. First build a board with steel, dig a hole in the top of the board, and then pull the soft iron wire out of the hole bit by bit with a vise by hand.

The reason why the swing is used is because the strength of the human arm alone cannot form the iron wire in such a ruthless way, so it is necessary to support the two feet on the head and use the gesture of pulling a carrot to make the thick iron wire.

The craftsmen felt that this method sounded unbelievable, but because the little king said it, they were willing to give it a try... After a try, they found that it worked. Although it was very labor intensive and the operation was not easy, compared to The ordinary wire method is much easier.

Without any further hesitation, everyone immediately set aside a small group of people to make the wire.

The reason why there is a small group of people... is because the work is too exhausting, and the craftsmen have to take turns, so it's like loosening their muscles and bones.

And after the craftsmen connected the wire-drawing machine with the waterwheel, the efficiency increased even more.

Therefore, when Zhongshan opened the port this time, it was possible to use the crane with confidence and boldness without fear of the rope breaking halfway.

And the appearance of this kind of wire will soon give birth to another kind of equipment-chain mail.

This kind of chain mail, which is made of iron wire and interlocking, was used as the base of many armors in later generations.Because it has a certain defensive ability, but this ability gradually becomes invalid after the iron weapon becomes the main countermeasure weapon.But at the same time, the chain mail can defend against slashing weapons quite well, and its shape can disperse external pressure and protect internal organs.

Therefore, from appearance to exit, all kinds of chain mail have left colorful traces in the history of Chinese armor.

In the early Western Han Dynasty, whether it was the Xiongnu or the Han army, their main armor was leather armor.

Anyone who plays games knows that [-]% of the leather armor professions are small crispy skins, which is slightly better than the cloth armor professions.

It can't compare with light armor, let alone heavy armor.

And chain mail is a kind of light armor.

Xia Anran took out a small piece of chain mail made of wire and handed it to his elder brother, and said solemnly: "Brother, look at this."

In the early Western Han Dynasty, the power of a feudal state was still in the hands of the vassal kings, especially at this time when the talents were withered, so the political correctness and responsibilities of the highest officials in a place were not clearly divided, and the highest local consul was equal to the highest military leader. Therefore, for them The only requirement is to be able to write and martial arts.

This is the legendary "Wen Neng An Nation, Wu Neng Ding Nation".

Zhao Wang's personal hobby is to be an ordinary official, so he often wanders around the country, but he also has extremely high military literacy.

When the younger brother took out this small mesh material surrounded by wire, he keenly realized that this would be a brand new breakthrough.

"How much is the cost?" King Zhao immediately asked an important question.

Xia Anran calculated the cost, added a lot, and quoted a price to King Zhao.

This price is much cheaper than the armor made of iron sheets connected in series, and for Zhao Guo, who owns iron ore in his own country, this is a price he can definitely afford.

So, he immediately asked his brother, how much is there in stock?What are you going to do?

The little king hurriedly shook his head, saying that this is not for sale for the time being, Zhongshan is closer to the north than Zhao, and he must give priority to arming his troops.

When he finished equipping his one-acre three-point land, he had to discuss relations with Dai County.

After all, Daijun's combat effectiveness is directly related to the personal safety of Zhongshan Kingdom.How did he know that he hadn't said a few words yet, Zhao Wang rolled his eyes at him, "I'm confused again, aren't I?"

King Zhao hated iron for being weak, he sighed: "Ah Sheng, I advise you not to leave this thing in Zhongshan."

Facing his younger brother with trusting and puzzled eyes, Liu Pengzu said: "Private people should not hold armor without authorization. If you want to sell this thing, you can only sell it to the prefects of various counties, and it needs to be used as an armory."

"And if it's sold to the county magistrate, it's more or less suspected of being a personal friend. I think it's not necessary to make a small profit for this." Xia Anran nodded after hearing the words for a moment, expressing that she had listened.

Seeing this, Liu Pengzu changed the subject, and actually asked how much he planned to sell this thing for.

Facing the shocked eyes of the younger brother, being an older brother speaks plausibly.

He said that it is not easy to sell this thing to the county magistrate, but of course it is no problem to sell it to him as a brother.Of course, saying "sell" is not very pleasant, so if the younger brother "gives" some to him, the older brother will be fine.

"Take it as my brother's reward for taking the blame for you." Zhao Wang was full of confidence.

Xia Anran glanced at him silently, rang the bell to signal the carriage to stop, then jumped down on the excuse that her younger brother needed to be taken care of, and changed to a carriage.

How can there be such a big brother?It's fine if you don't want to take care of your brother's business, but you still want to take money from him?

Handan's income can no longer be described as "a daily income of ten buckets of gold", and "a daily income of ten buckets of gold" may be a bit underestimated. The elder brother who has such a tax actually takes a fancy to his small wallet.

Is it true that he has no temper?

The angry Xia Anran waited until he got into Liu Zhi's car, and then suddenly realized—it's not good, he left the chain mail model in his brother's car and forgot to take it.

But after thinking about it, I felt that it didn't matter.

To put it bluntly, chain mail sells an idea rather than a technology.As long as the iron wire can be made, everyone can make a chain mail with this simple interlocking technology, otherwise this thing will not become a low-end armor in the future.

Xia Anran has the confidence to sell it because he has the skills to make wire.He may be able to make five or six pairs of chain mail in the time that others make one.

With such work efficiency, others have no competitiveness at all.

So, this is the importance of science and technology.Therefore, technology is the number one development force!

The little king showed off to his younger brother quite flatteredly, and Liu Zhi listened to his little head bit by bit, and his face was full of pride.

Of course he knew about the invention of the wire, because Xia Anran deliberately indulged him, and basically did not shy away from him in Zhongshan's internal affairs, technological innovation, personnel changes, court structure, etc.

Liu Zhi was actually a little puzzled about this point. The servants around him told him that all this should be regarded as a secret of a country, and the lord of a country would not tell ordinary people, and the king of Zhao, who was also his elder brother, would deliberately avoid him.

Of course Liu Zhi would not ask why his elder brother taught him these things, but he knew very well in his heart that brother was very, very kind to him, and he liked him the most.

The author has something to say:

China itself has not left the wire pulling technology, there must be, but it just hasn't been spread... There are gold and silver wires, and the technology in the article is from Europe.

By the way, you didn't find out that I skipped the duck before about the rope, so proudly akimbo.

Hahahaha, the one who licks the skin and turns into a tiger is killing me laughing!

By the way, when I was writing a feather duster, the proofreader came to knock me, and she said: Feather duster is too unfriendly...why don’t you get a shuttlecock or something?Feather dusters are particularly unpeaceful at first glance.

I feel she must be a person with a story (pushing glasses)

Hey, in our generation, there is a multi-purpose and very strong feather duster in the house.weep.

By the way, your understanding of [Jianweizhizhu] [Jianweizhimeng] is very good, thumbs up.

That's right, I want to buy base makeup after buying lipstick, and then eye shadow, blush, isolation, sunscreen, small skirts, small shoes, necklaces and hair accessories.

And it's all caused by lipstick =w=

Oh, by the way, during this trip, I found that the performance of Dai Ke’s isolation in Xi’an was much better than that of CPB!Babies with similar terrain can try the isolation of DECO.

The price is also very friendly, half of CPB.

The isolation of CPB...is really friendly to oily skin, but in fact, I still prefer matte skin, not watery skin.

Cosmetics has a good touch-up effect, the kind that can be isolated + pressed powder to go out directly.

When I go to Jiangsu, Zhejiang and Shanghai to try its performance, I will try to come to REPO
