Destiny Only Han

Chapter 166

Hanzhong County, Nanzheng.

In the first month of spring, that is, the Spring Festival in the later generations, Liu Ying, who had finished the La Festival celebration, parted ways with Liu Bang again, and met Liu Taigong and others who had been away for a long time.

Lu Zhi also returned to Nanzheng with him to serve his parents-in-law.

As for Liu Bang himself, he stayed in Guanzhong. After all, the Han army had just captured here. Although at the ceremony of conferring Lu Zhi as queen, everyone was given titles and rations, but after all, such small favors were not enough to completely win people's hearts.

At noon, the convoy drove to the gate of the palace, and Liu Ying, who had told Liu Taigong what she had seen and heard about Guanzhong, jumped off the carriage, reported to Lu Zhi, and left with Zhang Buyi.

The place he was going to was a warehouse in the east of the city.

This was originally the place where Hanzhong County punished female prisoners for pounding rice, but with the arrival of Liu Ying, Hanzhong County began to build a large number of water cones for pounding rice, so rice pounding was no longer a punishment.

As for the women among the hidden officials, they will not be idle, they are sent to positions that are more suitable for them, tailors.

Well, making shoes to be precise.

In this era when transportation is mainly based on walking, having a pair of comfortable shoes is an important indicator of happiness.

Of course, Liu Ying will definitely have a hand in this industry.

What he has to do is to imitate the standards of later generations to make more detailed sizes for shoes, but the most important thing is to let them distinguish between left and right feet when making soles.

The shoes in this period are not divided into left and right feet, and the two feet are basically the same, so you can wear whatever you want.

Although convenient, it is not comfortable.

The important thing is that after running a little faster, the shoes always fall off.

So the style Liu Ying asked them to make was similar to the short boots of later generations, with a tongue and laces, making them smooth and stable when walking.

But in a few years, pigskin-bottomed ones will be on the market in large numbers.

In Hanzhong, Liu Ying invested money to set up several pig farms. When the rapeseed matures this year, she can buy a large amount of oil cakes after oil extraction to feed pigs.

A moment later, at the warehouse in the west of the city, the soldiers guarding the gate saw Liu Ying from a distance, and immediately stepped forward to open the gate, bowing their heads in salute.

Zhang Buyi walked in behind him, looked at the exposed red bricks on the outer wall of the warehouse, and said with a smile, "Is this the brick you were talking about?"

Liu Ying nodded and continued to move forward: "In fact, this thing is much more useful than wood and adobe, but Dafu and the others just don't agree to use bricks to build a house, and because of this, they beat me several times..."

Zhang Buyi gloated: "Yes! Who doesn't know that these kind of bricks are used for repairing graves, and you use them to repair the houses of living people, not for beating?"

Sooner or later, I will reverse this stereotype... Liu Ying walked forward slowly without saying a word, and pushed open the door of one of the warehouses.

"Wow!" Zhang Buyi stared blankly and opened his mouth wide.

In front of him was a densely packed bookshelf stretching for a hundred meters.

On the bookshelves, there are countless bamboo slips, cloth and other materials.

Liu Ying raised her eyebrows: "It's spectacular! The entire collection of Qin's books is here!"

Zhang Buyi stepped forward, fumbled here and there, his face full of admiration.

He heard from his mother that when his family lived in Xinzheng, the collection of books at home was also placed in several rooms, and his father knew every one of those books by heart!

It's just that after the demise of South Korea, their family started a wandering life, and the family's collection of books disappeared.

"Can I take some back to watch? Don't worry, I will return it to you!"

Zhang Buyi held a bamboo slip and looked back at Liu Ying.

"No!" Liu Ying shook her head and decisively rejected Zhang Buyi's request.

A self-proclaimed scholar like Zhang Buyi has the worst morals!

He looked at Zhang Buyi and said, "After I get someone to transcribe it again, you can read whichever book you want!"

Zhang Buyi had a downcast face: "If you don't let me see, then why did you bring me here today?"

Liu Ying raised her head: "Of course I'm showing off to you!"

Well, it's like someone in the future will post a flyer with their own cat in the hallway, saying I will never allow anyone who hasn't seen such a cute kitten.

…………

Wangfu, the back garden.

Lu Pheasant and Zhang Liang's wife walked together, admiring the exotic flowers and plants transplanted from other places, which never withered even in winter.

Lu Zhi turned his head and said straight to the point: "What do you think of Liu Le?"

Mrs. Zhang was silent for a while, guessing something vaguely in her heart, but she still said calmly: "The princess is very virtuous. Although her appearance is not gorgeous, her manners are generous and her weather is gentle. Famous flower..."

While the two of them were talking, Liu Le was holding a broom in his hand, fighting with Lu Tai and Lu Chan, who came back from Guanzhong together, and they were so brave...

While Zhang was dumbfounded, Lu Zhi's face was covered with black lines, and her silver teeth were gritted secretly.

"The wind is tight, scream!"

Seeing Lu Zhi at the other end of the garden, little Lolita screamed strangely and ran away, while Lu Tai and Lu Chan bent down to salute like Lu Zhi, then chased Liu Le away in a shy manner.

Lu Zhi was silent for a moment, looked at Zhang who was smiling and said nothing, and continued: "I think Zhang Buyi is also very good, how about our two families getting married?"

She forced herself to forget the scene just now. Anyway, Mrs. Zhang lived with her for more than a day. Mrs. Zhang knew exactly what kind of virtue Liu Le was, and there was no need to hide it.

After listening to Lu Zhi's words, Mrs. Zhang remained silent.

Actually, she really likes girls like Liu Le. Although she is a weird girl and not very good-looking, she is very optimistic and cheerful. She is the kind of girl who sometimes would rather suffer a little bit of grievance than get along with her. A character that others care too much about.

If she can be asked to be a daughter-in-law, she, as a mother-in-law, can save a lot of worry, but the crux of the problem is that Zhang Buyi is Zhang Liang's eldest son. It is to listen to Zhang Liang's thoughts first.

Xu Shi saw Zhang's hesitation, and Lu Zhi hit the iron while the iron was hot and said, "As long as you agree, I will talk to Cheng Xinhou in person."

Lu Zhi's idea is actually very simple, she is going to settle Liu Le's marriage as soon as possible before Zhang Er has made the marriage contract with Liu Bang public.

In this way, she will have more confidence in breaking the marriage contract between Qi Qi and Zhang Er.

Mrs. Zhang nodded and said, "Then, that's the deal!"

When the two of them looked at each other and smiled, only Zhang Ao's injured world was completed...

…………

Guanzhong, Yong County, Dazheng Palace

As usual, Liu Bang sat up from the hard bed, beat his stiff waist twice, and began to miss the soft and warm bed in Nanzheng Palace.

There, not only the warm floor heating is burning in the room, but even the bed is said to be made of duck down and wool, which is warm and light!

"Damn you bastard, you don't even know that filial piety is a set of bedding!"

Liu Bang touched the fur fur beside him that made him breathless, feeling a little yearning in his anger.

He sat up, washed up briefly, and prepared to meet the old men who came from all over Guanzhong.

These people are all above [-] years old, have some resources in their families, and are well-known in the local area.

Liu Bang imitated the officials of Qin State and continued to appoint them as the "three elders" to be responsible for educating the people.

Well, it is said to be the "three elders", but it is actually one person.

Sanlao, to be precise, is a title, the abbreviation of Sanlaowugeng, and the so-called Sanlaowugeng is the name of a person who knows the three virtues and five things.

The three virtues refer to integrity, rigidity, and softness; and the five things are appearance, speech, seeing, hearing, and thinking.

It's just that Liu Bang's plan is to set up another three elders in the county based on Qin's original system, and give them the right to meet him directly.

In this way, the local magistrates and county magistrates will be restrained a lot, and they will not wantonly fish and meat the common people as they did when the Qin State was in power, and finally arouse popular uprisings!
A moment later, in the crowded hall, Liu Bang walked slowly in a black crown suit.

The three village elders who were arranged in order in the hall were stunned for a moment, their faces full of nostalgia.

When Liu Bang was the earliest, he wore the clothes of Chu State every day. The important thing is that he was known as the son of the Red Emperor, so the whole army wore red clothes.

Now, he was wearing a black royal costume, so many old people who had seen the first emperor before felt a little inexplicable for a while.

Black is the color of Qin State, and also the color of Qin people!
Liu Bang sat down on Majesty Dan, looked at the three elders lined up in front of him, and after exchanging a few words of pleasantries, he asked, "Everyone, you know, which emperors are worshiped in the God Temple worshiped in Yongxian County? "

Below, one of the three elders said slowly: "Yong County worships the four emperors, white, green, yellow, and red."

Liu Bang looked at him and asked: "But I heard that there are five emperors in the sky, why only worship four?"

Seeing the hesitant looks on the faces of everyone in the hall, Liu Bang continued: "Gu knows that this is waiting for Gu to gather the five emperors. Gu is the vacant Black Emperor!"

After he finished speaking, he deliberately shook the black sleeves on his body.

There is a limit to human ability, so from today on, he will stop being a human being!

Well, in fact, the three elders in the palace didn't know why they only offered sacrifices to the four emperors, because the Qin State was a virtue of water, and the clothes were still dark. The reason why the first emperor didn't worship the four emperors was that he regarded himself as the black emperor.

It's just that he wasn't thick-skinned enough to say that he was the Black Emperor, so he only offered sacrifices to the Four Emperors, and was going to let the successor Emperor II recognize him as the Black Emperor after his death.

However, Hu Hai is a stick that can't stand it...

Therefore, the vacant position was naturally filled by Liu Bang.

Liu Bang was not just talking. After the La Festival in Yongxian County, he began to order the army to dye the flag uniforms black in batches to distinguish them from the Xiang Yu army, which was also still red.

However, what he did was to win the hearts and minds of Guan Zhong.

This point can be seen from the eyes of the three elders in the palace.

"I'm back, I'm back..."

"Qin Guo, you're back!"
