As soon as Liu Chang walked to Liu Ying's side, before the gift was delivered, Liu Ying grabbed his hand, dragged him to his side, and directly asked him to sit down next to him.

Liu Ying touched his head with a smile, then looked at Xiao He and said, "This is my seventh brother...."

Xiao He smiled, "I've heard of his name for a long time." ”

Liu Chang looked at the kind uncle in front of him, no, it should be the old grandfather, he looks much older than his father, his hair and beard are gray, but he looks dignified and has a full temperament, Liu Chang couldn't help but sigh: What a handsome old man! This is much more handsome than Daddy!

"Chief, meet the prime minister."

"Prime Minister?"

Liu Chang looked disdainful and looked at Xiao He arrogantly, what's wrong with your prime minister? I don't bow when I see my father!

"Don't be rude to Xiao Xiang!"

Liu Ying saw Liu Chang's embarrassed appearance, so she slapped him on the back of the head, and looked at Xiao He helplessly, "The inferior brother is young, please forgive the prime minister..."

"Xiao Xiang?? Xiao He??? ”

Liu Chang's eyes widened, he hurriedly stood up and sat directly beside Xiao He, "You are Xiao He?" ”

"Exactly."

"Oh, second brother, you said it earlier, since it is Xiao He, you should worship, you should worship..."

Only then did Liu Chang stand up and bow towards Xiao He.

"Elder brother, don't call your elders by their names..."

"No problem, no problem... Come, sit down. ”

Xiao He smiled and groaned, not caring about this guy's rude behavior at all, and after Liu Chang sat down obediently, Xiao He looked at his appearance, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart: This baby is too much like his father, this is much more like his son's wishes.

"That's right, the prince thinks: to find a way to properly arrange the displaced people who have escaped the war... The prince's idea was to build a large number of textile machines, establish government-run centralized textile sites in Luo, Liang, Yan and other places, recruit displaced people, and let them work for the government..."

"This loom was made by Childe. There are still a lot of defects in the textile machine, and the parts are very easy to damage. It's okay to be less efficient, as long as it's more stable and there are no problems..."

"This...."

Liu Chang frowned, he knew that the textile machine he made was indeed not perfect, but after all, this machine was groped out by him with a vague memory, and he was not a professional in doing this, if it was to improve, he really couldn't find any good way in a short time.

"I have seen the blueprints drawn by His Highness, and the craftsmen say that the blueprints seem to be defective, missing several important parts..."

"I'll figure it out... Can you ask someone from Shang Fang to help me? ”

"Of course you can, as long as Your Highness is interested, not just Shang Fang, you can call anyone!"

In the future, there will be no matter of Liu Chang, Liu Ying and Xiao He talked about a series of problems, in addition to the problem of disaster victims, and how to deal with the problem of grain production reduction next year. If there are fewer people working the farm, if there is no response, there will be a trance in the arable land, a shortage of food, and a large number of people will starve to death.

Liu Chang sat beside them, but didn't say a word, just listened carefully.

Xiao He had a lot of things to do, and after talking to Liu Ying for a while, he hurriedly got up, in addition to domestic affairs, he also had to be responsible for the logistics of the war. After sending Xiao He away, Liu Ying pulled Liu Chang back to his place and asked him about the situation during this journey.

Liu Chang originally had a lot of things he wanted to brag about, but after the conversation between Liu Ying and Xiao He just now, those braggings instantly became meaningless.

"Brother, is the big man so short of food?"

"Along the way, not a single of the people I saw were ready to plow without their tools... They have been working hard, so why should they be short of food? ”

Liu Ying let out a long sigh, and her face became a little complicated.

"I've been short of food... The treasury is empty all year round... There is no savings. ”

"It's okay in the Central Plains, you haven't been to enough places, you don't know, the people in most places in Dahan don't have enough to eat, just barely make ends meet, and don't starve to death... Of course, there are many people who starve to death every year... The prime minister has also thought of many ways... Reducing taxes, not using forced labor... The situation is a little better than it was a few years ago, but it hasn't improved much. ”

"There is not enough food, there is not enough farming tools, there is not enough cattle... In the previous year, more than 6,000 people died of starvation... If you investigate carefully, you really don't know how many people there are. ”

"Alas... There is always a war going on in the country... Every time you fight, you destroy four or five years of hard work... This is why the prime minister has repeatedly written to the queen to execute the Marquis of Huaiyin. ”

Liu Ying saw Liu Chang sitting in place without saying a word.

"What do you think?"

"No... Nothing...."

Liu Chang panicked and left the palace as if he were fleeing.

There is no Jiaofang Hall after Lu Hou, it has become deserted, occasionally a few close servants or palace maids who do not make footsteps hurriedly float around, Liu Chang sat on the stone steps, supported his chin with both hands, looked into the distance in a daze, and sighed.

"What are you thinking?"

Liu Chang was stunned for a moment, raised his head, Liu Heng was standing in front of him, holding his hands behind his back, staring at himself indifferently.

"Fourth brother? What are you doing here? ”

"Gai Gong changed the book again, this is what he asked me to give you.... Tomorrow we will start going to Tianlu Pavilion. ”

"Oh."

Liu Chang took the book and continued to sit.

Liu Heng thought about it, and sat next to him, and the two looked into the distance together.

"Fourth brother..."

"Huh?"

"I finally know why you don't eat beef."

"Hmm."

"I don't know... How many ploughing cattle have I eaten over the years..."

"It's okay, most of the ones you eat are dead cows..."

"There are so many people in the world who can't afford to eat... But I can't do anything. ”

"Why can't you do it? Didn't you improve the spinning machine in the first place? That's going to save a lot of people..."

"Cloth can't be eaten... Even if you have to exchange it for cloth, you have to have food to exchange it..."

"Then you go and improve the farm tools, you have such a talent, you can't waste it."

"But I don't know anything about farm tools... Fourth brother, I... I've dismantled the spinning wheel, but I've never seen any farm tools... I have never been in the field, I have never farmed for a day...", Liu Chang said aggrievedly.

Liu Heng frowned violently, and he scolded angrily: "What kind of bastard are you talking about!" ”

"Will the Marquis of Huaiyin fight when he is born? Does the prime minister know how to govern the country when he learns to walk? Do you know how to plan when you stay in the land? ”

"Didn't they all learn to do it? If you don't dare to try, you don't dare to learn, how dare you give up? ”

"But it's different..."

"What's the difference! Aren't they as good as you are at making machines?! ”

"I..."

Liu Chang's eyes widened, and he couldn't speak for a long time.

"At your age, the fact that you can make a machine like that is enough to prove that you are talented... Don't waste your talent, if you don't understand, learn from someone who knows! If you want to do something for the people of the world, then don't sit here and sigh, what's the use? If you feel guilty 10,000 times, will the people be able to live a better life? If you don't eat beef anymore, can every household have a cow? ”

"Go do something! Even if you fail, it's much better than if you sit here stunned! ”

"Good!"

Liu Chang jumped up violently, "I'll go to Shang Fang!" ”

"I'm going to make many, many machines! I want the whole world to wear clothes! Eat on the table! ”

"So what are you doing here?!"

Liu Chang immediately ran towards Shang Fang quickly, and after running a few steps, he suddenly stopped, ran back again, and pointed at Liu Heng, "By the way, although you are my brother, if you dare to scold me next time, don't blame me for doing it with you!" I'll spare you this time! No next time! ”

After speaking, Liu Chang ran away without a trace.

Liu Heng sat on the stone steps, watched the short figure run away without a trace, and laughed loudly.

"This shaft!"

.......

"I'm coming!!"

Liu Chang rushed into Shang Fang's mansion and shouted loudly, "Is there a good spinning wheel?" Bring me one and let's see if there's anything we can do better! ”

"By the way, bring me all kinds of farm tools, and find me a few more who know farm tools!"

"Also, find me a few people who have been promoted for making machines, the more the better!"

"It's all for the people of the world!"

The craftsmen and eunuchs in Shangfang's Mansion looked at Liu Chang who was jumping around in amazement at this moment, and looked at each other.

Who's going to shout the Imperial Doctor's Order?
