Destiny Only Han

Chapter 851 Liu Ying: Overtime.

"Heaven's mandate is called nature, self-willedness is called Dao, and cultivating Dao is called teaching. Dao is one that cannot be separated even for a moment, but it is not Dao that can be separated."

"That's why a gentleman is wary of what he doesn't see, and fears what he doesn't hear... He can't see what he doesn't see, he doesn't show what he doesn't see, so a gentleman is cautious about what he doesn't see..."

"When joy, anger, sorrow, and joy are not released, it is called the middle; when they are released, they are all in the middle, which is called harmony; the middle is the foundation of the world; Everything grows..."

Under the yellowish light in Changtai Hall, Liu Qi shook his head and recited passages he didn't quite understand in rhythmic rhythms.

Beside him, Dou Yifang was sitting straight on the wooden floor, leaning against a high brocade quilt, holding a book of "Tao Yuan" in his hand, throwing a rattan ball into the distance from time to time, Liu Wu babbled and crawled. Chasing after him, he hurriedly picked up the takraw ball, and then hoped that Dou Yifang would throw it out again...

Beautiful, warm, and weird...

Liu Ying stood at the door and watched for a while, then walked over with a dazed face, snatched the sepak takraw ball from the overjoyed Dou Yifang, and joined in this special parent-child game.

Well, to be precise, it's boiled baby...

Liu Wu inherited Liu Ying's night owl attributes. He dozed off frequently during the day, and became more energetic at night, especially as he grew older, he became more and more attached to Dou Yi's room, and he didn't want to be taken to sleep by the nanny or the palace servants...

Therefore, Liu Ying looked at the sepak takraw ball that Liu Wu threw on him, and threw it out again.

Anyway, his house is a palace, a single room covers an area of ​​one or two hundred square meters, and there is plenty of space for Liu Wu to have fun...

Dou Yifang covered her mouth and laughed twice, slowly sat behind Liu Ying, kneading his shoulders: "Why did your Majesty remember that I am here today?"

After all, Liu Ying has rules, and she takes a rest every four days.

Today is a holiday.

Ruan...Liu Ying arched her back slightly, and said with a smile: "Passing by, I came in after hearing the commotion inside... Are you starting to watch "Daoyuan" now?"

Well, the so-called "Tao Yuan" is a work of Huang Laozhi, which was unearthed in Mawangdui in later generations.

Feeling the pressure coming from her chest, Dou Yifang raised the corners of her mouth, and got closer to Liu Ying: "I am just a boring concubine to pass the time, but Liu Qi has already memorized "Book of Rites: The Doctrine of the Mean" backwards, which is really rare... ..."

It's really rare, for example, I don't know how to... Liu Ying looked at Liu Qi and nodded lightly: "Yes, very good. Although the Confucian classics are pedantic, a prince must read them, but you can memorize them. You don't need to study too deeply. , What the sages said is not all right, so use it flexibly to avoid sticking to... sticking to the rules."

Liu Qi cupped his hands: "My child understands."

In fact, he didn't know what Liu Ying was talking about, but it didn't matter, the important thing was that he was eager to get Liu Ying's praise.

After all, his father is not only his father, but also the father of his half-brothers, so the father's love he can get is very limited, so naturally he has to show it in front of Liu Ying from time to time...

But Dou Yifang is far more sensitive than Liu Qi.

She gently placed her head on Liu Ying's shoulder, rubbed her ears together, and whispered softly: "After these days, Your Majesty still can't let go of it?"

Although she didn't say it clearly, Liu Ying understood in seconds. She just sighed softly, reached out and touched the back of her hand, and changed the subject: "Where is Liu Xuan? Sleeping? How can she sleep at her age?"

In an instant, the expression on Dou Yifang's face became much more exciting.

If Liu Ying looked back at this time, she would find that Dou Yifang's expression at this moment was very similar to that of Lu Zhi in the past, and she probably remembered the kind of love and hate when she was a daughter of a big resentment...

But Dou Yifang quickly put away that expression, and said in a calm tone: "Well, I'm going to bed, this has saved my heart a lot..."

As she spoke, she grabbed the takraw ball and threw it into the distance.

In the next second, Liu Wu giggled and used his hands and feet together, chasing him out as if flying close to the ground.

Just, it's very weird...

Liu Ying was stupefied for a while, then smiled and shook her head: "People say that my niece looks like a aunt, and it's true... My elder sister was very sleepy when she was young. I fell asleep until I was unconscious...hehe."

Dou Yifang also laughed.

Since she was very young, she had been a close maid by Lu Zhi's side, so she naturally learned something about Liu Le's ability to fall asleep in three seconds.

So she said with a smile: "So, this is Xuan'er's blessing!"

Liu Ying blinked suspiciously: "Huh? How do you say that?"

Dou Yifang came out from behind Liu Ying, sat down on the side, massaged Liu Ying's calf, raised her head and explained: "Sister has loving parents like the Supreme Emperor and the Supreme Empress, and a younger brother like Your Majesty, there is still waiting for you." A beautiful and devoted husband-in-law like his heir, has a smooth life, carefree..."

"Wouldn't it be great if Xuan'er could be like sister?"

Liu Ying nodded with a smile.

He inherited the slave attributes of the daughter of the old Liu family. Although Liu Xuan was not the first daughter born to the empress, she was his first daughter. Therefore, a smooth and carefree life is only the most basic condition.

But at the thought of marrying her own precious daughter to some bastard, Liu Ying clenched her fists unconsciously.

The corners of Dou Yifang's mouth raised.

The expression on Liu Ying's face changed as if a farce was being staged. It was a show that she liked to watch very much since she was very young...

Looking at it, her big round eyes were full of obsession and intoxication.

This is her benefactor, her man, and the only master in her life...

Owner……

A blush flashed across Dou Yifang's round cheeks, and her whole body slowly began to moisten.

But Liu Ying didn't realize it. After he planned in his heart how to choose a satisfactory son-in-law for himself, he immediately nodded and said with a smile:

"This year's western tour of Qilian Mountains is not enough. When next spring, I will visit Qilu East, and by the way, I will go to Mount Tai to enshrine a Zen, report to the world my great achievements in the past two years, and then I will send you two, um, three Gift!"

Dou Yifang blinked her moist eyes, and her voice became a little soft: "What gift? Your Majesty, don't tease me..."

At the same time, her ten fingers began to move upwards, gently massaging Liu Ying's thigh, and pressing Liu Ying's inner thigh with her soft fingers from time to time.

Be more serious... Liu Ying breathed heavily: "Secret. Anyway, you will like it."

Dou Yifang continued to say in a very soft voice: "Well, the concubine is waiting..."

While she was talking, her fingers extended a little bit up again, intentionally or unintentionally, and even bit her lips lightly when Liu Ying looked over.

Pure, but full of temptation.

This is the beauty of young women.

Liu Ying glanced down along her line of sight. Although he only saw the gorgeous skirts, he couldn't help but see very clear pictures in his mind.

White flowers, soft, warm, heavy, dangling, round...

"I'm tired, change clothes for me..."

"According to the order."

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

Xihai County.

The southeast of Huangyuan County, where the county government is located, is a bustling cattle and horse market.

In the past, this was the largest wool exchange in the northwest region, but this year, due to some special reasons, the wool trade volume here has dropped sharply, but the overall tax amount has not decreased, but has increased a lot.

After all, after the rebellion of the Qiang people was put down, most of the soldiers who participated in the battle received generous rewards.

Such as cattle and sheep, such as prisoners of war.

The former is naturally sold on the spot, and directly exchanged for money to take back home, so as to avoid the emergency death of long-distance livestock.

As for the latter, it is also included in the resale.

Well, or the assignment of employment contracts.

Almost all the soldiers of the Han army who participated in the war were from well-to-do families, and many of them were nobles with hundreds of servants.

But the crux of the problem is that now the Han Dynasty has abolished the official system, which has caused the Qiang prisoners of war assigned to them to become tasteless.

After all, most of these people are uncivilized, and have no strengths other than being able to herd cattle and sheep.

If it was ten years ago, the Han Kingdom was in a period of rapid expansion at that time, and the labor force was always welcome. It didn't matter if the slaves or hired workers were not qualified for the job, just learn from scratch and train slowly.

But now those Han children who had nothing to do but eat ten years ago have grown up. Under the influence of their father and brother, they are very good at farming or animal husbandry.

Especially livestock.

This seemingly unskilled business is actually far more complicated than farming.

And this is also the reason why nomadic tribes appeared after farming and hunting tribes.

Raising a few cattle and sheep in bits and pieces does not require a lot of relevant knowledge. Anyway, if they die, they will not lose a lot of money. But if hundreds of cattle and sheep are raised, this requires the ranch to at least It needs to be equipped with a large number of veterinarians!

Otherwise, if one inadvertently causes the epidemic to spread, the loss will definitely not be a small number!
That's why there is a saying that "everyone with wealth and hair is not counted".

Therefore, for these Qiang captives who neither master farming skills nor how to scientifically herd animals, the best way to deal with those northern knights, especially those who have large pastures and farms in the north, is to Transfer the employment contract, take the money home to build a house, buy agricultural machinery...

Of course, women are not included in resale.

It's not just because of the need to reproduce. Anyway, they have money, and an extra woman in the family is just a matter of extra chopsticks.

The important thing is that the laws of the Han state stipulate that as long as the father of the child is Han, no matter which ethnicity or country his mother is, he will obtain the household registration and identity certificate of the Han.

And this is not only an honor, but also allows him to obtain a certain stage of free education.

Knowledge alters your fate.

This is a truth recognized by Han today.

However, there was another reason why the northern knights wanted to bring the Qiang women home.

That is, compared with Qiang men, the skills mastered by these women are more adaptable to life in Han.

Like shearing sheep.

In the past, many people raised sheep for meat, but now the wool textile industry is booming. Those sheep with long hair are like chickens that lay eggs. It is more cost-effective to trim their wool regularly for money than to kill and sell meat.

And in the era when there were no electric razors, shearing was done by hand. Those women with shorter bodies had an advantage over men. At least they didn’t need to bow their heads too much when bending over to work...

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

The Southwest Barbarian recruiting department.

Zhidu sat behind the desk, quickly reviewing the merit reports sent by various troops.

Now they have basically wiped out the Qiang tribe within a thousand miles to the south of Xihai County. The Qiang people who wounded the soldiers of Linqiang County that day were also arrested, beheaded and hung on the city gate for public display.

But those [-] northern knights will not leave now.

After all, in three more days, Liu Ying will officially start her western tour.

Therefore, there will be a grand ceremony of presenting prisoners and a military parade here. At that time, not only high-ranking officials and dignitaries from Chang'an City will participate, but also the kings of those small countries in the Western Regions will come here in person to congratulate Han on its great victory and feel Let’s take a look at what it means to commit a strong man even if he is far away!
So standing in front of Zhidu at this moment are the trembling Xiaqiu Hou Shen Wugui, Wang Ji, the son of An Guohou Wang Ling, Li Ji, the son of Qu Zhouhou Li Shang, Wu Zui, the son of Liang Zouhou Wuhu, and a dozen others. The second generation of Gonghou.

After all, in Zhidu's opinion, when it comes to engaging in formalism and holding a large-scale event, it is better for these anointed sons who were born when the Han Dynasty was strong and lived in Chang'an City, so it is commonplace!

But in fact, he is rushing the ducks to the shelves.

The so-called playboys are nothing but good at eating, drinking and having fun, and occasionally taking advantage of the Enzilla relationship of grandparents and parents!
So when they heard Zhidu's words, they immediately looked at each other in blank dismay.

But no one dared to argue with Zhidu.

This man is a lunatic!
The cruel officials of the Legalists are good at rectifying the common people, but in fact, the people they like to rectify more are those honorable ones!
Handling major cases, engaging in implicated companies, killing a person's head and bleeding into rivers, especially stepping those dignitaries who stand above the clouds into the mud and humiliating them repeatedly is the dream of every cruel legalist official!

Zhidu is no exception.

In history, when Zhidu was governing Jinan County, he used violence to control violence. As soon as he took office, he killed all the family members of the Ji (jiàn) family and other families, so that Not only the local tyrants were trembling, but even the officials in the neighboring counties were terrified...

But in the current timeline, the news that Zhidu exterminated the three kings of the Western Regions within a day has already spread all over the streets and alleys, especially as an old man in the East Palace, he is holding Liu Ying, the thickest thigh in the Han Kingdom !

Therefore, when Wang Ji and others left Chang'an City, their parents and elders repeatedly advised them not to break the law, otherwise no one could save them!
So, faced with the rush to put ducks on the shelves at this moment, they had no choice but to fold their fists and obey orders...

However, compared to the bewildered faces of Li Ji and the others, Wang Ji had some confidence in his heart.

After all, he is a master of women's clothing...

Bah, it's a famous actor in Chang'an Grand Theater!
So, if you can organize a theatrical performance, you can organize a military parade!
