Starting from the Western Han Dynasty

Chapter 182 Establish goals and set sail in life

Sima Qian was really solemn, and he already thought in his heart that the promise of turning the mountains and rivers back would definitely become a good story for future generations.

For this reason, he even poured a bowl of water for Li Huan and respectfully handed it to Li Huan...

Brother, I'm obviously cheating on you, but you act so sacred and solemn, so am I cheating on you or not?
At this moment, Li Huan didn't know what he should do. Sima Qian's sincerity became the ultimate move to kill all his tricks.

Huo Qubing drove the carriage roaring over: "Father! I want to convert my carriage into a chariot, and I also need to install the shock-absorbing springs you mentioned. It's too bumpy now!"

"Master!"

"Master!"

Zhang Anshi and Dalang jumped out of the carriage like two groundhogs, their heads covered with sweat and their faces flushed with excitement.

Li Huan ignored the two little guys hugging his thighs and looked at Huo Qubing in shock: "What shock-absorbing spring?"

"You said it." Huo Qubing raised his hand and shot an arrow, hitting a bird flying in the air with great accuracy.

Li Huan took the bow and arrow, pulled the bow string, shook his head and said: "There is no way to make steel with that strength. Spring steel is different from ordinary steel, and there is no way to pull it out."

He opened his bow and shot an arrow, hitting a sparrow and landing on the edge of the ditch. Although the accuracy was a little off, one of the sparrow's wings had been shot away, and it was sprinkled with blood and fell into the ditch. Zhang Anshi He Dalang grabbed it excitedly and discussed at the edge of the ditch whether he should boil water to scald the hair first or burn it directly.

Looking at these two snackers, Li Huan frowned deeper. He felt like he had really led them astray?
Huo Qubing shook his head: "No, I want spring steel. I heard you talking to my mother."

Li Huan's eyes widened: "What is your mother?"

Huo Qubing showed a treacherous smile, jumped onto the carriage, pulled the reins, and the three horses neighed and dragged the four-wheeled carriage roaring away.

"Master!" Zhang Anshi came forward: "Aunt Zhuo said that she can help brother make shock-absorbing springs, but she must be our master's wife!"

"What?" Li Huan's eyes widened. Zhang Anshi and Dalang immediately ran away into the distance. Huo Qubing's chariot, which had roared in the distance, seemed to have suddenly gained intelligence. Remembering that he still had It's like two little followers were left here.

Sima Qian glanced at the three brothers who were leaving, then turned to look at Li Huan. But before he could speak, Li Huan had already squinted his eyes and asked, "You also want to ask what a shock absorber spring is?"

"Master Hou, since it is a matter of benefit to the people, why..."

"The hardness of steel is not up to the mark, so I just casually mentioned it to Zhuo Nu." Li Huan suddenly felt that the way Sima Qian looked at him hurt him: "You don't believe me?"

"No." Sima Qian shook his head: "I have a promise to go back in time with the Marquis. How could I not believe the Marquis? Is it as simple as just mentioning it?"

"It seems that I even drew a blueprint..." Li Huan had a strange look on his face: "But, according to the current situation, there should be no way to make it..."

"Is it impossible to create it on a large scale, or can it be created?"

"If you spare no effort, you can indeed create..." Li Huan couldn't help but look at Sima Qian in depression and took a deep breath, and then he controlled his urge not to beat people: "You are also making excuses?"

Sima Qian imitated Li Huan's movements of sitting cross-legged under the tree, and said calmly: "No."

"Forget it, even if it can be made, this spring shock absorption is indeed a pioneering work..."

"Master Marquis, there is also Zhuo Nu!" Sima Qian reminded him in a low voice.

Li Huan laughed sarcastically: "Nv Zhuo is pretty good, why don't you marry her into the family?"

"I'm not so lucky." Sima Qian shook his head and looked at Li Huan with a grin: "Zhuo Nu worked hard on the gears that crush cement at the cement factory. She and I can be considered close friends at work. As far as close friends are concerned, , it’s not surprising.”

"I think you are worried about being acquainted with Bao!" Li Huan shouted angrily. He felt that Liu Ling had calculated it at first and thought that he had become smarter, but he never expected that he would meet someone who was plotting against him. The man in the body has even persuaded his own son and subordinates.

"The Marquis is joking. Only then can the Marquis and Zhuo Nu become close friends. The lower official and Zhuo Nu are always just close friends."

After seeing Li Huan's eyes gradually becoming more and more disgusting, Sima Qian grinned: "Master Hou, don't you often say that people need connotation? It just so happens that Xiaguan is a studious person."

"That's all!" Li Huan shook his head: "If Zhuo Nu can make spring steel, let her receive the ceremony on the same day as the Wei family. She just wants to make a clean break with the Linqiong Zhuo family!"

"Zhuo Wangsun has already expelled this daughter from the family. At that time, how can Zhuo Wangsun have the face to come here to recognize his relatives?" Sima Qian said righteously.

"What can't a businessman do?" Li Huan sneered: "Don't piss me off."

Sima Qian said solemnly: "There should be no one in this world who would think so hard and annoy you, Lord Marquis."

Li Huan saw that he had frightened Sima Qian so much that he became solemn and respectful, and waved his hands indifferently. Of course, this was true. If Li Huan really made up his mind to torture someone to death in the Han Kingdom, the probability that this person would not die was really high. is infinitely close to zero.

"Every man has a bow and shoots birds!" Li Huan grabbed a bow from the guard and threw it to Sima Qian.

In fact, Sima Qian's force value is not low. After all, he is the kind of person who can travel around the world. The security in the Han Empire's customs is good, so the customs need to use their brains to solve problems; but after leaving the customs, many times they need a barbaric body to solve problems.

In silence, Sima Qian fired six bows in an instant, and all the arrows were fired. The most beautiful thing was that he killed two birds with one arrow twice.

Li Huan can only fire three bows at once. This is because top Hun eagle shooters like Bald Qiang and Xiong Daxiong Er have been teaching him.

Sima Qian is different. He has killed a lot of strongmen during his study tour, and according to himself and Li Huan, he often shoots at strongmen. arrow shot himself.

"If this continues, how many will we have to kill?" Li Huan frowned, and the bird-catching net in front of him was also full of birds.

This kind of practice, in his previous world, would have put him in jail, but in the current world where there are so many animals, it is a thing that people must experience in life.

Moreover, everyone still eats birds, and various ways of eating them have been gradually developed by the people of Anyang County who are enjoying themselves in hardship.

Sima Qian smiled and said: "The struggle between man and nature is a long and long process. Lord Marquis often talks to me, why do you suddenly become depressed?"

Li Huan looked at Sima Qian, who still didn't know that he was going to Huainan Kingdom to serve as the Prime Minister, and shrugged indifferently. After all, this was a top secret that only the level of the Sangong and Nine Qings belonged to. Although Sima Qian's Taishi Ling was also a very important official position, But it was obvious that he was not qualified to know about this in advance.

"How can you?" Li Huan got on his horse and kept shooting arrows from the horseback. Originally, he couldn't shoot accurately on the horseback, but these days, he kept shooting birds, and even practiced shooting nine out of ten. Good archery skills.

As for the three eagle shooters around me, they almost kill two birds with one stone. Even when there are many birds, it is common to kill three birds with one stone.

It's another bird shooting day... Li Huan feels like he is about to become an expert in shooting birds.

As the setting sun shone on the earth, Li Huan found that he was a little lonely. After looking back at Sima Qian, he saw that this guy was actually talking to Zhuo Wenjun's maid Chu Yi. He became more and more excited as he talked, and even turned red in the face...

After Sima Qian felt Li Huan's gaze, he immediately dismissed the first grade of junior high school and rushed forward on his horse: "Master Marquis, Zhuo Nu made a small windmill on the dummy you placed to scare the birds, and hung a copper on the dummy. Gong, when the windmill rotates, it will drive a small hammer below, and hitting the gong can scare away the evil birds that fall into the fields!"

Li Huan looked at Sima Qian's beaming expression and couldn't help but scorned: "You almost didn't say directly that Zhuo Nu is my good wife, right?"

"I don't dare!" Sima Qian shook his head and looked out into the distance: "This land is so wonderful. I really want to see this become a primitive place where we Han people can become rich."

After hearing this, Li Huan subconsciously ignored Sima Qian's record of discrediting him in the history books, and his gaze spread out. This land with excellent pastoral scenery was really intoxicating.

Wheat is planted under the hillside ahead. The sound of the wind blowing the ears of wheat makes everyone feel intoxicated in their faces.

Li Huan reached out and picked off an ear of wheat. The wheat inside had taken shape, but the ear of wheat was too small compared with the wheat ears he would see in later generations.

Grains of wheat that were slightly green in color fell into his palm.

This feeling is very strange. This land belongs to Li Huan. Although the people cannot let him drive him like he did in the Zhou Dynasty, in fact, as long as he doesn't drive too much, no one will care about this little thing.

All the food provided is Li Huan’s own.

"After the fresh wheat is made into toast, I will go back to Chang'an." Li Huan threw the wheat into his mouth, chewed it, and swallowed it mixed with saliva.

In the first year after coming to the Han Empire, too many things happened. He was so popular. Going to Huainan Kingdom to serve as Prime Minister seemed like a demotion, which actually made him feel a little disappointed.

Sima Qian thought about the bread described by Li Huan and said without thinking: "That's natural. After the house is built, the Marquis should go back and report his duties to His Majesty..." He suddenly thought of something, looked back at the guards behind him, and lowered his voice. The voice said: "Master Hou, what are you..."

"What did you guess?"

"Hou Ye's identity is here, and it is natural to be the Jiuqing."

"No." Li Huan said, "Do you still remember Liu Ling?"

"Of course... but what does this have to do with Lord Liu?" Sima Qian lowered his voice: "Master Hou resents Lord Liu in his heart?"

"Shouldn't it?" Li Huan had some shameful thoughts in his heart, which were concealed by his majestic appearance. It was probably just because the emperor had always favored him since he came to this world.

"Those seven eunuchs are the messengers of embroidery. What Liu Ling did is that he has reached some consensus with Queen Chen that we don't know about..."

Li Huan frowned and suddenly realized that asking him to go to Huainan Country to serve as the Prime Minister seemed to be more than just what he thought.

How could Gillian and Liu Ling reach an agreement?

This is really unbelievable.

"Did you guess it yourself?" Li Huan suddenly thought of something. In Sima Qian's historical records, there are many dialogues and even inner activities of many characters that he added himself.

The most classic thing is what the so-and-so couple said on the bed. Sima Qian restored them simultaneously. In other words, if this guy was not born in this era and was born in later generations to write online novels, he would definitely be able to win the Great God's Book with one book or two. Achieving platinum status...

"Although it was the lower official's guess, but the Marquis thought about it for a moment, isn't it true?" Sima Qian was very confident.

Li Huan frowned and pondered for a while, and thought of a lot at once, but although he thought of a lot, in fact many things can be solved with just one sentence: it's none of my business.

"There's no point in killing these people." Li Huan shook his head and said, "Didn't you also say that there are embroidered messengers among my guards? If this is the case, it means that my every word and deed will still be reported to the police."

Sima Qian said: "At least Queen Chen's behavior shows that she is not very satisfied with His Majesty's arrangement of you."

"You shouldn't be Taishi Ling." Li Huan looked at Sima Qian with contempt: "You should be a gossip!"

Sima Qian smiled naively and kept silent about these things.

Liu Che has not yet nodded in agreement to the radical move of building his statue in the square outside the city gate, but it is obvious that he has this idea.

As the chief engineer of Anyang City Construction, Li Huan still left a large open space here. People coming in and out always like to stop in this open space, and many flowers and plants are planted on the left and right sides.

Now is also a good season for flowers and plants. The fragrant smells penetrate into people's noses as if they cost nothing. No matter how tired you are, just walking here will make you feel better.

After the old towers were renovated, even the old people who lived in Anyang City could not find any trace of what they were like before.

On the top of the city tower, Li Huan thought that the flag should be flying, but both Zhang Qian and Sima Qian felt that this was too ostentatious, so they had to give up the idea.

The days that followed gradually became regular. Apart from going out to the city to shoot birds and instructing the people to catch birds to protect the food that was about to mature, Li Huan had nothing else to do.

On this day, a letter came from Jinzhan.

The first thing mentioned in the letter was the foreseeable bumper harvest of grain in the Lishan Marquis Mansion. I also depressingly compared the produce of the princess's fields. Many of them were only half of those of Li Huan's fields; in some places, half of them were harvested. Less than, only about one-third...

After the insect plague, the crops produced in the fields of Princess Shiyi were no longer comparable to the fields cultivated by fire next to Li Huanhou's mansion.

The savages who had come down from the mountain began to ask Cuihua to ask Li Huan to return to Lishan Mountain to host their first autumn festival. In this era, the sacrifice to the God of Autumn was as grand as the sacrifice to the God of Spring.

Later, Jinzhan bluntly mentioned that Emperor Liu Che wanted Li Huan to serve as the Prime Minister of Huainan Kingdom.

The original words are like this: "You can take me or not, but I am a concubine."

Li Huan, who had just felt that he had been having fun playing with birds every day for a few days, suddenly became depressed again. Why were women in the Han Dynasty like this?
My husband is going to hook up with other women, so why can't he show off like a bit of a shrew?

Always so soft, husband, you can go if you want to go, or if you don’t want to go, I will listen to you!

Li Huan suddenly wanted to talk to Master Shengxue about life, but then he remembered that Master Shengxue, Hongzhi, and Man Guyin had already followed Gillian back to Guanzhong.

Shengxue Master is a first-class medical expert, and Mangu Yin and Hongzhi have already become the deputies of Shengxue Master.

The three women who were also born in the Huns must always be together so that they can find a sense of security with each other.

His frown slowly relaxed, and then he continued to read Jinzhan's letters; as he went down, there were some thoughtful words between the husband and wife.

The autumn harvest is a big deal, but whether you go to Huainan or not is a trivial matter...

Should I write a poem to give back to my fiancée?

Sitting in the mansion in Anyang County, Li Huan could already imagine how Liu Che from Chang'an City persuaded and squeezed his sister to accept the reality that he was going to bring her a sister...

So much so that Jinzhan forgot to mention in his letter whether he should choose whether to host the Autumn Festival here in Anyang County or go to the Lishan Marquis Mansion in Chang'an City to host the Autumn Festival.

The ancestral residence of the Hou Mansion has almost been built. It will definitely be possible to live in it before the autumn harvest is completed...

When Li Huan thought about this problem, he felt a little embarrassed.

It was originally expected that all the construction - building factories, firing cement, and building the ancestral residence of the Hou Mansion, all added together, could be completed in a month or two at most. Who would have thought that it would take until after the autumn harvest? to be fully completed...

Because, the original idea was that after the construction of the Hou Mansion was completed, he would hold a ceremony with Wei Shao'er first.

After the autumn harvest is completed, he and Princess Nangong will hold a ceremony...

Calculating it this way, it seems that everything comes together...

At this moment, Li Huan suddenly understood that this letter from Princess Nangong seemed to be asking him whether he should go back to Lishan Marquis Mansion to host the autumn festival ceremony, but it actually seemed like he was asking himself how he wanted to arrange the engagement. Things?

After all, even if the engagement between the two is a certainty, there are some things that Jinzhan, as a princess, cannot directly ask at this time.

Li Huan came to the construction site, climbed up to the high platform, and looked at the Anyang City that was completely crawling under his feet. The autumn breeze blew, and he suddenly felt that ever since Liu Che told him that he would arrange for him to go to Huainan Kingdom to serve as the Prime Minister, his heart has been very sad. chaos.

"Pass it on, and we will set off in three days to return to Chang'an, preside over the autumn festival at the Lishan Marquis Mansion, cure my son of illness, and preside over the autumn festival in Anyang County's fiefdom on my behalf."

Just as someone among the accompanying guards was about to turn around and leave, Li Huan suddenly called out to the person: "Wait a minute!"

"Lord..." The guard held up his hands and asked Li Huan for instructions.

"This order will not work." Li Huan pondered for a moment, then looked at a guard beside him: "Come in, I have something to ask you to go back and tell the mistress."

"Here!" The guard stepped forward with a solemn look on his face, as if he was listening carefully with his ears raised.

Li Huan pondered for a while before he said: "Go back and report to the mistress. I have read her letter and I know what she thinks. I will seriously prepare the ceremony here. She's disappointed."

A wedding is a major event in life; at this moment, Li Huan suddenly had many bold ideas.

In his previous life, he missed a silly woman who loved him deeply, but in this life, he should grasp it. Liu Ling, wait for me... ah no, it's Jinzhan, I said it wrong...

Li Huan hurriedly looked around, and then realized that no one could hear what he was saying in his heart, and he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth.

Okay, then let me wait!
