I am not a deposed emperor of Han Dynasty

Chapter 244

As expected, Wei Xuanguo did not disappoint Liu He. After opening the office for the first time, he immediately started to get busy.

Zhang Anshi and Bingji were also very interested in the things arranged by the emperor, asking for money for money and people for giving.

In the next seven or eight days, with the arrival of those dispatched Shuzuo, Menxia Temple became much more lively.

Coupled with the back and forth between the counselor and the subordinate officials of the various government offices, uploading and issuing, the entire Menxia Temple is in operation.

With Wei Xuancheng in charge of the temple, there were not many things that Liu He needed to intervene in. Wei Xuancheng was responsible for the unimportant general affairs, and Yu Wuyou was in charge of the "secret law".

Only when the two encounter something that cannot be decided, will they come to the Xuanshi Hall to play to the emperor.

A lot of waste is waiting to be done, Liu He wants to start with small things little by little.

In the early morning of this day, Liu He summoned the counselor Yu Wuyou to the palace.

"You have been by my side for a long time. Besides me, you are the person who is most familiar with those secret arts. I hope you can take on the important task of promoting the secret arts and carry them out as soon as possible."

"only!"

"The first thing is to promote those new farm tools. This was originally done by Tian Yannian. You go to him with my warrant and ask him to hand over to you."

"only!"

The rank of the Beiqian Order is Biqianshi. If it is an ordinary Biqianshi official, it may not be easy to meet Da Si Nongtian Yannian, but it is different with Liu He's warrant.

The three lords and the nine nobles all wanted to save face, not to mention that Tian Yannian was probably still holding on to Huo Guang because he hadn't been promoted, and maybe he was thinking of changing a tree to enjoy the shade.

"I hope that the new farm tools will be popularized in the Sanfu area as soon as possible, so that the people will benefit from the autumn harvest this year and the spring next year."

"only!"

After talking about this matter, Liu He arranged for Yu Wuyou one by one the several secret methods to be implemented in Menxia Temple this year in the Xuanshi Hall.

The first is papermaking. Liu He hopes to see the finished product of the new paper within ten days. After the trial is successful, it can be trial-produced in small batches in one month, and mass-produced in three months. The cheapest paper is used in the Sansuke area.

This progress seems a little radical, but it is not impossible.

Because before this, Liu He had arranged for the Shaofu to build a paper mill, and Hua Cheng, who followed him to study the method of materialization, had already figured out the method of papermaking when he was in Changyi, so everything was ready, and the only thing left was east wind.

"Papermaking alone is not enough. Let Xie Lang try to make some engraving blocks for printing as soon as possible. After the new paper is made, try printing immediately, without any delay."

"Then which book does His Majesty want to test print?"

After pondering for a while, Liu Hecai said: "Recently, I have copied the "Analects of Confucius" again, so you should try to print "The Analects of Confucius" first, the words of the sages are even more amazing when they are printed in the book. "

"promise."

With papermaking and printing, books can be printed in batches continuously, not only Confucian classics, but other books can also be printed.

"Besides, the Han army to conquer the Xiongnu will go out next month, and I want to make a batch of good knives, armor and arrows before then.

Liu He is also prepared for the art of making iron. Although salt and iron are now monopolized and the local iron officials form their own system, when he was in Changyi Kingdom, Liu He used his special status to send his subordinate Lang Guan Xie Lang to work in the iron officials. "Borrowing chickens to lay eggs" in the book, has already figured out the method of frying steel, and now it can be used immediately.

"Your Majesty, there is only one month before the army goes out. Even if it can be produced in a hurry, it may be a drop in the bucket, and the quantity is not much."

Of course Liu He understands this truth, but what he wants is not a sword, but an opportunity.

Liu He needs to use these forged weapons to plant a nail and establish his prestige in the Han army again.

This expedition, the Han army is destined to return without success, and it will cost a lot, and it is impossible for Liu He to stop it from the sidelines.

That being the case, then Liu He might as well go upstream, follow the trend, do some things, and establish an image that he can also manage military affairs.

"I don't ask for quantity, I only ask for quality, so that I can take it to the court as a sample."

"promise!"

"In addition, the flowing water method must be implemented in all these workshops, and the artisans of Changyi Kingdom who are placed in it must be allowed to gradually display their talents."

Next, Liu He couldn't stop talking at all, and explained many things without interruption.

The production of bows and crossbows, the improvement of carriages, the new method of drying salt...

Liu He kept talking, until he saw that Yu Wuyou's face was dripping with sweat, he stopped belatedly.

He has arranged too many things in one breath.

Not to mention a few months, even a year is enough to keep Yu Wuyou and the others busy.

Liu He couldn't help but let out a long sigh, because he acted too hastily.

"Forget it, I was too anxious just now. Papermaking and printing, steel frying and flowing water, these four things should be straightened out this year, and the rest of the things are not in a hurry. I will promote them step by step next year."

As long as Liu He is still on the throne, it can be implemented slowly.

After Liu He finished speaking, Yu Wuyou was obviously relieved, and quickly agreed.

After Yu Wuyou left in a hurry, Liu He sent someone to summon Dai Zong to Xuanshi Hall.

Officials like Xie Lang who have mastered the secret method naturally have a place to go, but although Dai Zong and his former guests have also been promoted to be officials, they have nowhere to go.

"Dai Qing, I will build a pedestrian room in the Menxia Temple. On the surface, it will be in charge of communication and relay, but in fact, it will be necessary to search for secrets and scout out news. Naturally, you will be in charge of this pedestrian order. Are you willing?"

Dai Zong naturally knew that this pedestrian room was probably going to do some "secret things" for the emperor, which meant that his future in the court would become extremely bleak, and he would never have a bright future.

However, as long as Dai Zong thought of the conversation he had with the emperor in the west of Changyi City that day, he felt that he would not hesitate to do anything.

As long as His Majesty can be in charge and the people of Han Dynasty can live a better life, Dai Zong is willing to live in darkness forever.

"Your Majesty, I will never give up, and I will never complain."

"Okay, there are a few things to do right away!"

"promise!"

"The first thing, you have to hand over to Yu Wuyou, take over the Changyi people in Weiyang Palace, meet them regularly, and see if you can discover some secrets in Weiyang Palace."

"Second thing, although the sticky pole is under the Shaofu, you have to take it over privately, and they can help you search for a lot of things."

"The third thing is that the Changyi orphans brought from Changyi Kingdom are first adopted in the Changyi mansion, and they are taught to read and write by someone on weekdays, and they are sent to Chang'an City from time to time, and they are also allowed to spy on them."

In this way, whether it is inside Chang'an City or outside Weiyang Palace, there will be Liu He's eyeliner. Although these people are still loosely stacked for the time being, they will become tighter one day.

Maybe one day, it will have unexpected effects.

……

For the next few days, Liu He was busy with these trivial matters, and just after taking a break, it was the day when the mission led by Su Wu and Fu Jiezi left Chang'an again.

On August 25, Liu He set off from the north gate of Weiyang Palace in the lightest car and headed straight for the west gate of Chang'an City.

This time leaving the palace was somewhat the same as the previous ones, but also somewhat different.

The same thing is that Xue Qi is still driving, and Yu Wuyou is still accompanying him.

But the difference is that both Che Zhan and Lang Wei are much lighter—unknowingly, Liu He has eliminated many potential threats in Chang'an City, and there is no need to be as cautious as before.

The most special thing is that after Liu He had the cover of the Menxia Temple, he had many more excuses to leave the palace. It was no longer possible for General Huo Guang to lock the emperor in Weiyang Palace.

This is the real "the sea is wide enough for the fish to leap, the sky is high for the birds to fly."

Because the number of cars and guards decreased a lot, the speed of leaving the palace was also much faster. In less than half an hour, Liu He came to the official road outside the West City Gate, and saw this mission that was about to go to the Western Regions.

Because the mission was sent by Menxia Temple and did not represent the entire imperial court, the number of missions was not large.

Including all the followers, there are only more than 20 people, and there are only thirty or forty camels.

But many of them have heavy responsibilities.

As soon as the emperor's chariot arrived, Su Wu and Fu Jiezi greeted him with the core members of the mission.

After the monarchs and ministers saw the ceremony, Liu He got out of the car.

He saw Liu Bingji standing behind Su Wu and the others at a glance. This was the first time that the two uncles and nephews met as a monarch and minister.
