Destiny Only Han

Zhen Ze.

This is the Taihu Lake of later generations, one of the five major freshwater lakes. At this time, the autumn is crisp and clear, and leafy boats can be seen everywhere in the lake.

For Liu Ying, who will be beaten soon, she is walking along the lake with Liu Bang and Liu Ruyi unconsciously, waiting for the fisherman to return and buy the freshest fish.

Such as hairy crabs.

Just like the "Shanghai poor" who eats hairy crabs, people don't even eat much fish in this season, and the rich and leisurely hobby of tasting hairy crabs is even more unheard of.

Liu Bang is also lacking in interest, but since he is out to play, he must act like he is out to play.

Outing, wild food, nature is also indispensable.

Besides, he had another idea, which was to visit the silk weaving workshop here.

He also read last year's accounting document. Although more than 400% of the land in Kuaiji County is newly reclaimed tax-free land, and the poll tax is also collected in pieces due to the policy of encouraging births, but only relying on the silk tax, the land here was paid last year. The treasury paid over [-] million worth of silk and satin and five baht.

Although this number is not much for the Han Empire with an annual income of tens of billions, it must be known that seven or eight years ago, this place was still a barren land in Wuyue, and a tax of one million yuan a year would be considered a good year!

Therefore, Liu Bang wanted to see with his own eyes how the silk thread spit out from the silkworm baby's mouth changed the land of Wuyue!
A moment later, the fishing boat returning with a full load docked at the shore. Liu Yingbian rolled up her sleeves and rolled up the hem of her clothes and jumped onto the fishing boat. Regardless of Liu Bang and Liu Ruyi's stunned eyes, she picked up the fish she wanted.

During this period, people didn’t eat crabs very much, so the hairy crabs, without their biggest natural enemy, were all fat and strong. In later generations, there are many rare big crabs weighing more than one catty, and you can pick them with your eyes closed. Go wrong!
But this is mainly due to the honesty of people during this period, especially Liu Ying promised to pay the bill with five baht, so the fishermen who fished for him consciously threw away those small, meatless, and bad-looking crabs. Only the individuals covered with yellow fat and baring their teeth and claws were left behind.

Liu Ying carefully selected a few baskets of good ones, and ordered the guards behind him to send them back to the palace quickly, and handed them over to the chef accompanying the team to prepare them. As for the rest, he also wrapped them up.

Although the maids and servants don't like meat like fish, shrimp and crab, which tastes unpleasant, Lu Zhi also brought a few piglets with her this time, just to nourish them...

Looking at the backs of those guards rushing away with bamboo baskets on their backs, Liu Ying sighed softly, which made the fishermen who were repeatedly counting five baht coins tremble.

After all, they bullied Liu Ying who didn't understand prices, so they bravely sold this kind of food that pigs don't usually eat to a sky-high price of three five baht each...

Now seeing that Liu Ying can call a few strong men with just waving, I am naturally worried that this is just a young man from a family of officials playing tricks on them, teasing them...

So they made up their minds, no matter what, they will not refund the money... no, only half of the money will be refunded, this is their bottom line!
Liu Ying shook her head:

"It has nothing to do with you... I'm just lamenting that it's not the right time. Although there are crabs to eat, I can't taste the delicious shad..."

Well, it is the prickly shad that Eileen Chang claimed, the first-class national protected animal...

Liu Ruyi at the side sneaked over, looked at the fishy smell on Liu Ying's hands with some disgust, and asked, "Shad? What is shad? What's so delicious about fish? I don't believe it's better than pork knuckle in sauce. eat!"

Liu Bang also came over and said, "But the best thing is Fan... the dog meat casserole made by Goutu!"

When Liu Ru saw the complaint, he nodded his head up and down: "Well, the dog meat made by Uncle Wuyang is really delicious..."

Don't blindly date your relatives, Fan Kui has nothing to do with you... Liu Ying shook her head and said:
"Fish tastes like fish, and meat tastes like meat. Why do you have to compare different things? Although I have never eaten shad, it is recorded in ancient books that it is very delicious, and it only appears in early summer every year. It belongs to Jiangdong. Prosperous Shizhen!"

Liu Ruyi put her hands on her waist, ready to raise the bar:

"Which ancient book said it? Why haven't I seen it? The third brother is lying again. You haven't eaten it yourself. How do you know it's delicious? You must know that the master once said that it is better to have no books than to believe in books." ..."

Hearing Liu Ruyi's annoying male duck voice, the fisherman put the copper coins away carefully, stepped on the side of the boat with his thick bare feet, and began to complain about his "golden father".

"This young man is so rude. Don't you even understand the principles of filial piety? How dare you speak to your elder brother in such a tone? It's really because this young man has a good temper. If you were in our country, you would not only be beaten up today , I'm afraid I don't even have to eat!"

"If the villain's guess is correct, the shad that the eldest son mentioned should be 'dang 魱 (hú)', this kind of fish is really delicious... Heh, outsiders say that we Wuyue people eat rice and fish, so if we talk about Eating fish, those of us who have fished for a living for generations dare to be number two, and there is absolutely no one in the world who dares to be number one!"

Liu Ruyi turned to look at Liu Bang, saw the other party looking at the sparkling light in the distance, and then looked at Liu Ying, only to see Liu Ying folded her arms with a sneer on her face, so she shrank her neck and muttered:

"Even if the shad is delicious...but it's recorded in the ancient books that the third brother must have made it up! You must have heard it from nowhere, so you made it up to show off!"

Liu Ying thought for a while and asked, "Are you betting? If I tell you that it is recorded in that ancient book, what will you do?"

Liu Ruyi's face turned red, and she couldn't think of what to bet for a long time, so she stuck her neck and said, "Whatever you say is what you say!"

Liu Ying looked at Liu Bang who still didn't intend to intervene, and said with a smile: "Okay! How about it, my father and I will go to the hot spring tomorrow, and whoever loses can rub the other's back and feet?"

Liu Ruyi nodded confidently: "Okay, it's a deal!"

Shusun Tong is old, although he bears the name of Prince and Taifu, but in the past two years, the Confucian scholar Yuan Gu has been teaching these princes every day, and Yuan Gu said that Liu Ying's daily skipping of classes is a rotten wood that cannot be carved. , but he is different, he is very smart, but his mind is not on his studies, if he is willing to study hard, he will surpass Liu Hui and Liu You just around the corner...

Therefore, whether ancient books are not ancient books must be a lie made up by Liu Ying. As for the certainty at this moment, it is nothing more than deceiving him!

After all, Lao Liu is a gambler, so what goes up is good and what goes down doesn't matter. In the harem, there are often several tables of cards, and he has seen a lot of intrigues...

Liu Ying was also unambiguous. After "hanging on the hook for 100 years and not changing it" with Liu Ruyi, she began to read:
"There is a saying in "Erya·Shiyu" that 鯦 [jiù] is a sea fish. It looks like a bream but has large scales, plump and colorful. Today Jiangdong calls its longest three-foot-long fish a bream..."

After Liu Ying finished speaking, she looked at her eyes and looked at her eyes. It was obvious that Liu Ruyi wanted to cheat or play tricks and continued:

"Have you always read "Erya"? It doesn't matter if you haven't read it. Wu County is the seat of Kuaiji County. According to Lucheng, Shiqu Pavilion will be built to keep copies of the books in Weiyang Palace Shiqu Pavilion, and collect fragments of local books to copy to Chang'an City. .So there must be a refined version of the complete works of "Erya" here, and I'm talking about whether it's true or not, you can tell it at a glance!"

Well, when Xiao He built Weiyang Palace, he built two palaces, Tianlu Pavilion and Shiqu Pavilion, among which Tianlu Pavilion stored the national archives, while Shiqu Pavilion was used to collect books, similar to the National Library.

The Han Dynasty inherited the Qin system, and these two buildings were built to inherit the Qin State's "Law of Holding Books", that is, to stipulate that ordinary people are not allowed to collect books privately, but this law of carrying books was abolished a few years ago, and at the same time ordered Officials all over the world collected and copied the lost books in the late Qin Dynasty and sent the originals to Chang'an City.

The construction of Shiqu Pavilion in the county-level government is naturally for the backup of civilization inheritance, and civilian scholars are not prohibited from reading and transcribing. After all, no one can say for sure about some things, and it is always good to have more insurance.

As for the permission to transcribe instead of printing and selling, the main reason is that although the price of paper has come down, the cost of publishing books remains high. Two-thirds more!
Therefore, for ordinary scholars, copying books for a wealthy family can not only practice handwriting, but also read and write the full text silently. The most important thing is that they can also make money.

Facing Liu Ying's aggression, Liu Ruyi jumped behind Liu Bang in two or three steps, and put his head on Liu Bang's back: "Father, take care of the third brother, he is too bullying!"

Liu Bang backhanded Liu Ruyi out from behind, slapped him in the head, and said with a smile: "I would like to admit defeat! Tonight, let's rub Nai Gong's feet first, and practice my skills..."

Liu Ying looked at Liu Ruyi, who was acting coquettishly in Liu Bang's arms with an aggrieved face, and Liu Bang, who was full of helplessness, and turned around silently, with the corners of her mouth raised.

He was right.

Liu Bang's silence before was a test for him, to test whether he would dig a deep hole to trick Liu Ruyi into jumping in.

After all, the palms and backs of the hands are full of flesh, so Liu Bang naturally doesn't want to see the scene of mortuary corpses attacking each other with armor on.

Therefore, a small but unspoken punishment is the perfect answer.

Otherwise, Liu Bang will inevitably make plans in advance for the safety of Liu Ruyi's life after a hundred years...

....................................

In the west of Wu County, near Zhenze, there is a workshop with more than 200 looms.

Zhang Buyi came in a hurry from the palace, and directed the attendants who followed him to remove many new looms and put them back in the warehouse, and replaced them with broken old looms, so that the weavers could continue weaving.

This is mainly to hide clumsiness.

Liu Ying dragged Liu Bang to Zhenze to play, in order to let Zhang Buyi come to arrange in advance, so that Liu Bang believed that the efficiency of spinning silk in Kuaiji County was not high, and the output was equal to that of Qi Liang Yanzhao's workshop.

After all, there is no patent law in this year. If Liu Bangwan, from the perspective of the emperor of the empire, swiped his pen and allowed engineers from all over the world to imitate new looms and promote them in an all-round way, those nights spent by Liu Ying would be in vain...
